A Black Fiend—Tms morning, an
hour or so before daybreak, a negro en
tered a residence on Pryor street by
yh8ane of a window, and went into a
room where two young ladies were sleep
ing He put his hand on their persons,
which aroused them, and they d ecovered
him euted on the tide of their bed.
The,' immediately screamed and jamped
ont of the bid. The negro then fled,
getting cut of tho bed as quickly as pos
sible. The screaming of tho young la-
dtta are used the house, and several gen
tlemen nho were asleep np stairs were
awakened and rushed down stairs, bat
the fiend was ont of eight.
The negro was recognized by the
young ladies as one employed about the
house. Tnia morning he passed by the
house, end another negro told him bis
employ- r wanted to see him. He left
tho vicinity at once, but Captain A1
dredge, to whom the caaa was reported,
detailed threo of his best meo to search
for him, and unless he has gone toe far
they will fetch him.
It is not known what the negro’s ob
ject was in entering tho house. It does
' not look like robbery.
Tua Griffin A’etcs announocs the death
last Friday, of Judge Jason Burr, of that
city, a well known and most estimable
mac and citizen, in the seventy-ninth
year of his age. He came to Macon in
1825, where he lived several years, and
finally settled in Griffin in 1842. He had
been a member of the Grand Lodge of
Georgia Masons for more than fifty years
and 6‘ood very high in that ort]y>r.

of the Griffin Sun, has been giving him

dusty in Macon, that the citizens had

their -rirEards. The place is painfully
quiet. The cars come in, freighted with
their dozen passengers and they wend
their way to the different hotels, and find
themselves surrounded with as little
company ns they had on the coaches.
We were surprised to see so little cob

merchants eat in their warehouse doors

something to turn up, and didn’t know
whether it wonld be a bonanza or a land

The Proceedings of the House upon
the Mattes ot J. W. Renfroe.—We
give special prominenoe to the proceed
ings of the House this morning in regard
to its action upon the resolutions offered
by the special oommlttee.
Mr. Colley, of Wilkes, presented to the
desk end bad read the following commu
nications :
To tho Souse of Representatives—In
view of i&e proceedings ieo-uily had in
yonr body, in oonneotion with my depart
ment, I desire to present to your consid
eration tho following foots:
I feel confident of a f-utnfnl discharge
of the duties of my office. No time or
labor has been spared in protecting the
targe interests confided tome. Thepeo
pie’s money to the last farthing is now,
and always has been, since my official
term commenced, on deposit to their
credit in banks of undoubted eolvency.
I realize that my efforts for tho welfare
of my State have not been unavailing,
but as I candidly and frankly statsd to
the Committee on the Treasury, I have
received some communions on the State’s
:eposi s, and it appears rhat a majority
ot that committee thiuk the public in
terests demand the infliction upon me of
the severest penalty whioh can be impos.
ed upon a public officer. If the public
weal demands the sacrifice, and the law
authorizes it, I have to say that it will
not be the fir->t time that £ have stood
prepared to lay my all, even to life itself,
upon the altars of my State.
I am no lawyer, end perhaps not hb
curelm a student of onr present Consti
tution as I ought to have been. It is
irue thit I am l.’ga.ly charged with a
knowledge of lie piovuions, especial'
ly of those thar relate to my office; m
a matter of fact, and ns is the case »uh
many members of the bar, and of the
General As-embly, my attention had not
been odle - to ■ h-se p ^visions prior to
October or November, 1873. Sinoe then
I have not received a penny ia the w»y
of commissions.' All my conduct in coil
oection with -hie matter has been
baaed upon an unbrokaa line ot
precedence, indorsed ia the res-ilu
tions of December, 1871, ia --
most solemn and poimed aarwr ov mi
General Assembly. It ia true that the con
stitution of 1877 contains previsions of
the moate.riug.jii character, wmoh you
are now carrying into effect by an ap
propriate bid, and hence in accordance
with the spirit of that instrument and of
your legislation, it you consider it proper
reparation for an mistake 1 nave made,
I nereoy offer place to the credit, of
the State, in iu l’.. tsury, all commis
sions received by me einea tne adoption
of the Constitution of £877.
My rfflia is an onerous one, with but a
small salary. All tuat £ desire, if con
ducive to public interests that it should
be fliud by anotner, is an opportunity to
retire from it in a manner honorable to
myself.
I <jm, very respectfully, yours,
J. W. Esnteoe.
ME. BENFEOE RESIGNS.
Then the clerk read the following com
munication from Mr. Benfroe to Hts Ex'
oeiieoev. me Governor:
To His Excellency. Alfred H. Colquitt,
Governor: L ne-eby tender to you tny
re'igu-t.onof tna ofnsa ot Treasurer of
the State ot Georgia. My reasons for
this course have been stated in a commu
nication to the Hous9 ot K-preaentatives
and need not be repeated here. Iam
yours truly, J. W. Kenfeoe.
The following words were attached to
this resignation without any signature:
“For the disposition of the House, and
to be forwarded to the Governor.”
Tbs Dispatch tells of a most discriml
naling porter m an Atlanta drug store,
who was recently overhauled for official
cookedness, and among whose plunder
were six gallons of brandy worth $15
per gallon. Such delicate discrimination
should certainly be in his favor.
Tbs Constitution says “it is currently
rumorud in the Legislature that Dr.
Toomas P. Janes, Commissioner of Ag
riculture, will tender his resignation to
day or to morrow. We are not advised
why it is, bat premise it is the result of
tne prevailing epidemic. It this thing
continues the Legislature will run out of
raw material to investigate, and will
have to fall back on Prof. On.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Sa
vannah News states that one "hundred
and twenty members of the Legislatare
united in a petition to asking Governor
Colquitt to appoint Captain William A.
Wright, of Bicbmond, Clerk in the Wild
Land office, Comptroller General. The
petition will be signed by other members
to-morrow. His appointment ia regard
ed oertain. Wright will make an honest
and capable Comptroller.”
Ms. Diuias, of England, has, the An.
gui-ta Chronicle says, bought a farm near
that city, and will engage in stock raiS'
ing.
Gladeville, Jasper county, is getting
ready for the next war. She ha3 just
organized a military company with near
ly seventy members, and Mr. W. H
Middlebrooka as captain.
Wx credit the following (o tho Monte
zuma Weekly:
Catebmllass .—Captain L. E. Teal
and Mr. J. J. Eaeterlin have shown ns
quantity of young bolls taken from tbeir
cotton fields. The caterpillars, after eat

into the prospects of the late crop. If
tbe samples shown ns are a specimen of

George Soyals, white, and Willis Bogan,

when it ooenrred to George that It was

No one else being near enough to furnish
him a target he pulled out his pistol and
shot Willis through the breast. It ia be
lieved that Willis will die. Of ooarss
Boyals made his escape. Both parties
were working on Mr. William Minor’s
plantation in Dooly. No cause for the
shooting is known, exoept pure deviltry.

Thus the Augneta Chronicle:
A writer in the Atlanta Dispatch saye:
“Among the many statesmanlike and
meaning sayings of Robert Toombs, none
carries greater weight or deepp.r princi
ple than the following! 'Gold, in its last
analysis, is bnt the sweat of the poor.’ * r
How often muBt we identify this thing?'
Lucien Bonaparte is the author of the
following proverbial sentence: “Gold, in
its last anaiyeis, is the sweat of the poor
and the blood of the brave.”
The Chronicle ecem3 determined that;

The Swainsboro Telephone tells the

dispute, and were about prooeedisg to

gable combatants to desist until he
stopped the train, when he promised they
should have it out in a fair xbt encounter.
Phis they did, and the conduotor and
some of the passengers adjournod to a
convenient spot where they could wit

At Richmond camp meeting last Mon

A seaman ot the bark Emma C. Litch
field, who wa9 committed to jail for safe
keeping on the charge of desertion some
time since, was yesterday morning early
dilivered into tno keeping of Captain
Tnomas, as the vessel had cleared for
Buenos Ayres, and was ready to go to sea.
He was carried to the ship and left on tho
deck, the handcuffs bdug kept on bim for
prudential reasons. About five o'clock the
vessel left the wharf in to w of a tug that
was to carry her ont to sea, and proceed
ed down tho river. When within about
a mile of Fort Jackson tho manacled sea,
man suddenly jumped to his feet and
sprang into the rivet; and being an ex

struck out with his feet for shore,
host was immediately made ready, and
the Captain and Mr. Walter Smith fol
lowed. The fugitive seaman reached
the shore a few minutes before the pur
suers, and at once struck out for the
busnes. The Captuia and Mr. Smith
landed and followed bim hotly for some

It is a well known fact that moiqaitoe s

they are abont the only means of pre

the police in the detection and arrest of
incendiaries, who are obliged, after
tonohing off tho fire, to stay and brush
off the mosquitoes till the blazo has
gained sufficient headway to take care of
itself.
Instead of being a nuisance, they are
an almost absolute necessity. They are
a good fertilizer, and in a State where

try to raise anyihiog without them,

The mosquitoes aro attracted by this,

Atlanta, September 11, 1879.
THE SENATE
met at nine a. m., and was called to or
der by the President. Prayer by Bsv.
Mr. Duncan. The roll was oalled and a
quorum declared present. The Journal
of yesterday was read and approved.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
At adjournment yesterday tbe Senate
had trader consideration tbe bill to pro
vide good and substantial limbs for all
maimed Confederate soldiers in this
State.
Senator Speer advocated the bill very
strongly. The yeas and nays were or
dered and the bill passed by a vote of
85 to 2.
THE HIGH COURT OF IMPEACHMENT
was called to order at ten a. m. by the
Chief Jnstioe, and the minutes were
read.
The Chief Jnstioe asked if either side
desired to introduce any further evidenoe.
Neither the Scats or the defendant
wished to introduos any new evidence.
Manager Turner asked if the defense
would make argument; if they did not.
the managers would not insist on it, as
they understood the defense to so have
determined yesterday.
Cennselor Hopkins—The managers un
derstood ns aright.
Manager Tamer then rose and spoke
as follows:
Yonr Honor and Senators, I will crave
yonr indulgence for a few minutes this
morning. Nothing but a sense of duty
and a regard for the publto honor in
duced mo to yield to the wishes of this
Assembly in conducting this trial.
Lee J.o never be said that our arm failed
when wo came to scourge from the re
ceipt of custom the delinquent officer.
How does thiB case stand? For some
nine or ten months, since last October,
the Scats has been in tho investigation
of this case. At last articles were ore
ferrsd; thtn tho trial came on, and were
met with demurrers, defended by able
speeches; tho demurrers were overruled
by tbe cour>; then the evidence was in
troduced, and in tbe midst of the defen
dant’s testimony the annonucomeut came
that the Comptroller had resigned bis
high office; but this will not etay the
trial, for wo have no evidenos of its ac
ceptance.
Mr. Turner then paid a high and glow
ing compliment to his associate mana
gets, both those wuo had argued the
questions of law and those who had la
bored quietly and unobserved in prepar
ing and digesting tno evidence.
Tbe Comptroller has control of tho
revenues of tne State, and to do this he
has under him in every county subordi
nate.
They claim that this ie a case for a
notary public. It is not, for tho Comp
troller and hie subordinates aru
less amenable thsn any other ot
the cffiflals in the State. The
omsa lon is that of receiving illegal
costs. Hid he the right to charge this
cost. The law says the doubt of the
right to levy cost should be given to the
payer of tne cost. Tno law does not
give tbe right to levy this cost, and the
law declares further that the Comp
trailer eb-ill not receive any fee or per
quisite, bnt that ennh accretions shall be
paid into the Treasurer.
That tho constitutional convention de
dared tho issue of these unjust esao
tions to be illegal, yet before the words
of tho convention could be ratified, bu
fore October of 1877, ho did issue these
fi fas.
Hurry them up. If thio ia to be ex
cuBed, how will you exouse the charges
made after tne convention was rattfiej
Then the Comptroller did exact from
land owners, after warning them of the
intended issne of fi fas, the tax and cost
before the time had elapsed by law al
lowed for redemption.
Then there wa? a vast schemo to con
fiscate a vast domain of the State. In
tho transaction relating to Rondo & Co
and Fox & Co., he allowed D. Lott to
elect himself into a sort of agent for two
unknown firms.
And after having received tao tax on
these lands, nearly two years before
he issued fi. fas. against tbe rame lands
and received the sum of $114 cost on
these same fi. fas. Tnu Comptroller
claims that these costs were paid for
extra work in certain cases, bnt in this
caee, these fi. fas. were not done by the
regular employees of the office, bet by
James Goldsmith,the defendant’s brother,
out of the office.
He bas wronged the people in delega
ting his authority to Che sheriffs of tho
State, allowing them to defraud the peo
ple by his order am direction.
Wnen the enquiries were being made
in reference to the insurance tax, and the
report was being prepared, Goldsmith
came into the office, found out the object
ot the report, asked that it be delayed
and was told that it was to be ready in
twenty minutes; he went off aud Eougbt
out the money changers and paid into the
Treasury an endowed note for $10,000,
supplemented by $2,000 in cash. If ne had
that money in the safe of the Treasury,
he could have delivered it up, but here
he went to the bank where he
deposited his own fands, and in which
he owned two shares. If there was an
excuse for his private or pnblio honor he
failed to answer the demand ®i>«* was
offered to mm. To the honor ot the
Saxon race he it said, no man can thus
ain and raise his head again.
Another point is the falsification of the
reoords of the Wild Land Office, etc.
Lott waa not the agent of Banda & Co.,
and Fox & Co., and when the interlinea
tion waa made the records spoke falsely,
Tina waa done, not by the regular olerk,
out by the brother and familiar friend of
the defendant. The brother clain» that
he did it at the request of another snbor-
dinate, but the truth ie that the defend
ant obtained tbe benefit himself, for has
he ever repudiated ii? Did he drive him
ont of his doors? No, he nnblaihlngly
puts him on the stand to defend hie own
wrong oonduot. We have only to prove
the defendant to be unworthy of fntur-
trust. On the accusation of bribery, per
haps in a criminal court, where the ohari-
tles of the law are great, beoauae of the
physioal penalty Infltoted, this charge may
not a office, bat in this High Court, where
the honor of the State ia involved, it is
sufficient.
The tool of the Comptroller approached
two members of this Legislature with hie
nefarious propositions, one of them made
in the very uffioe of the Comptroller him
self, nnpreoedentedly and without shame.
The defendant was near at hand, and In
a few minutes asked his hired pimp if the
member intended to Sign the paper pro-
prosed. And we still see him in friendly
and confidential intercourse with this
hired pimp and instrument. Is not this
enongb to render such a man unfit for
holding offioe?
We have shown that he has oolleoted
cost he had no right to collect.
We have shown that he has exaoted
and extorted nnjoat cost from the citi
zen.
We have shown that be has delegated
to his instruments his own high nsnrped
right to oppress.
We have sbown that when he was
pursued he attempted to drop bis
plander and then tamed tad tried to
bribe his parsnere.
I ask if this ia not a most disgraceful
precedent.
Mr. Tarner then referred the Senate to
the section in the conatitntien relative to
the dieqnalificatton to hold office, etc.
After thanking the Senate for their
attention on the efforts of himself and
friends, Mr. Tamer resumed his seat.
The Chief Justice asked if the State
had anything further to say:
Manager Tomer elated that the case
was dosed.
The question was then put if Ihe Sen
ate was ready to vote an the articlee of
impeaohment.
The Benate voted they were not ready.
8enator Oabaniss then moved to ad
journ until next Thursday, but after
wards the time waa fixed till to-morrow
at 10 a. m., when the qneetion of the
time of the final vote would be decided.
The motion prevailed and the coArt ad
journed till to-morrow at £0 a. m.
The Senate then resumed business.

JUSTICE.
I have from time to time notiosd that
certain persons have been in the habit of
making injurious reflections relative to
the conduct of the members of the Honso
and Senate; that they get drunk and de
mean themselves generally .n a rowdy
and immoral manner. Now this is do
ing a great deal of harm aud a positive
wrong to the Legislature with soaracly a
single exception I am convinced that
tho majority of all these reports origin
ate iq the minds of tno disaffected and
their friends. The Legislature is com
posed of thu beet material I have over
seen in any deliberative uoJy, except per-
bans tho Constitutional Convention of
1877. Tney are doing their duty withou!
fuar or favor. Great enormities have
been committed in our State and our
representatives era sternly doing ail
they can to oorrect those great cvils-
The personal oonduot, and character ot
theao meo, eo for as I have seen, tsubovo
reproaoh. Cabolt nn.
Atlanta, September 16,1879.

Tho House met at 9 o’oiock and wa3
called to order by Speaker Baoon. Tbs
Chaplain conducted the morning prayer,
Tho roil was called and a quorum found
prerant. Tho Journal was read and ap
proved.
Mr. DaBose moved that tho House re
consider its adverse aoilen on a bill to
encourage immigration into Georgia.
Mr. Yanoey favored the motion to re
consider. Oa the motion the yens were
66 and tho nays 36, so the motion pre
vailed.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
The speotul order was the considera
tion of the reports of the special commit
tea appointed to mvestigsto the treasury
department.
Mr. McWhorter moved that tho House
take np a bill paying the expenses of thu
epeoial wild laud committee. Tho Sen
ate and Honss were at difference on 03r-
tnla amendments.
Mr. McWnorter moved that the House
insist on its disagreement to the Senate
amendments and ask a committee of coa-
foraaoe. Agreoil ra.
Tho House then took up the reports of
tbo treasury. Too resoluuona of im
peachment were rend,
Mr. L vingston sent a paper to the desk
and eo did Mr. Cclley.
Mr. Pnilltps, of Cobb, asked what the
nature ot tne profits was, and by whose
autbonty they were'offered.
Mr. Livingston—*1 offer mine by my
own an.bonty.
The papers were then read. The first
was a statement from Mr. Ranfroe to
the effect that he had faithfully dis
charged his duties, but that he had re
ceived certain commissions, bat that be
had a line of precedents running back to
the colonial aaye. He offered to replace
all commissions received since the adop
tion ot the Constitution of 1877, and ex
pressed a desire to retire from the office
in an honorable manner.
Mr. Renfroe’s formal resignation was
also read,
Mr. Livingston’s resolution authorized
the Governor to accept ths tender of Mr.
Renfroe and his resignation. It also
condemned tho action ot Mr. Renfros
and his securities in accepting insuiuat
on the State’s money.
Mr. Miller, of Houston—Will the
gentleman.give his reasons for this sub
s.itute?
Mr. Livingston—I will at the proper
time.
Mr. Miller—Now is the proper time-
Mr. Livingahui—J mil inform th*
tlemen that I am the judge of when I
should speak here) or whether I should
apeak at all or not. I would hare the
gentleman know it.
Mr. Speaker—I hope the gentleman
will refrain from personal remarks.
Mr. Cox of Tronp spoke in opposition
to the substitute of Mr. Livingston. He
waa opposed to allowing the defendant to
fix the penalty.
Mr. Matthews of Talbot argued against
the substitute and said it waa a reflection
on the Honss, He said the sympathy of
the House bad been appealed to. We
mast aot, said he, on the law and, not on
sympathy.
Mr. Mynatt said he did not excuse the
acts of the Treasurer, bnt he did not be
lieve in pushing the matter to impeach
ment. Impeaohment can aooompliah
-nothing bat removal from offioe and dis
qualification from holding offioe,
Mr. Davis spoke in favor ot the reso
lutions offered by the committee. He
said tne proposition te aooepi the money
and excuse the Treasurer was a proposi
tion to bay the House and prevent an aot
ot justice.
Mr. Davis made a strong, well put
speech, whioh waa heard with marked at
tention.
Mr. Miller appealed to the Hoose not
to adopt the substitute. He said the
Honse, too, was the grand inquest of the
State. There are inch crimes charged
against the Treasurer as demand im
peaohment, and the Honse bad no au
thority to acoept a compromise.
Mr, Miller,of Hons ton, moved that the
farther consideration of the qneetion be
postponed until Si (/dock in the after
noon,
Mr. Hill moved to make it the special
order for to-morrow at 10 o’doek.
Mr. Millez’a motion then prevailed.
The Honse then adjourned to 3i p. m.

He denied that the advocates of tbe sub
stitute were trying to Bhelter wrong or
proteot the guilty. He deprecated the
intolerant spirit of the advocates of im
peachment. It waa hard Indeed if a
man oonld not honestly differ with that
committee without being aooused of im
pure motives. He then evened that itn*
peacbmtm would be an ultra remedy and
that it -was not demanded by any just
ooustruotion of pnblio policy.
Mr. Fort eaid he thought the House
had but one plain daty to perform. A
law had been violated, and it was for the
House to determine the result of its vio
lation. The offer of the Treasurer and
his resignation do not change the issue
in the least. It there is no precedent for
the punishment of auch oonduot, it ie
time to make a precedent. Muoh has
ba?n said in generous sympathy, but this
ie not the mercy seat. Mr. Fore argued
that there is one clear thing for the Houao
to do, and that is indicated in the majority
report of tho committee.
Mr. Anderson, of Morgan, said the
committee had no right to settle ques
tions of conscience or policy for others.
This is a queition'on which every man
must think nnd aot tor himself. The
Legislature has sustained-the honor of
the State.
Mr. Harp called the provious question.
On this the yeas were 57 aud tue nays
57. The Speaker believed it to be a
question on which any gentleman should
haYe the right to speak, if ho eo desired,
and therefore voted no.anoitho motion was
lost.
Mr. Tarner, of Brook3, eaid he was in
no condition to Bpeak, but did so that his
position might not be misunderstood
If he eossulted his own inclination, ho
would never vote to seoargo misfortune
or to pat pain and penalties on igno
rance.
Bnt this is cot the only issue in this
cose. A tnan of high siuudiog, of noble
connection, has lowered his crest and
done this thing wmen oven hm be
friends could not excuse. He desired
the Legislatare to adjourn and leave its
record as a beacon to tail for half a cen
tury that the people wif. not be satis
fisd with avgat but ihe inoat faitnfat dis
charge of daty. if we adopt the snbsti
tnte ic may be justly caul that we nave
discriminated between two oase3 much
alik9. We have, in one case insisted on
the extrema penally of the law.
Mr. Mynatt asked Mr, Tarner if there
was not a wide difference in the two cases,
as Mr. Renfroe had resigned before ar
ticles are prepared.
Mr. Tarner said there was in this par
ticular a wide difference, uci t ne Lcaured
the Treasurer for ms frankoess aud can
dor in all these proceedings, out o.ter all
there is no difference In the oja of the
law between guilt confessed and that pro
ven by direct evidence. Hu did not
think the allusions to the political bear
ings of the question were prop, r, and tie
also dented that the propo?mun uf the
Treasurer was aa insalt to the Honse,
Ho did not believe that the adoption of
the sabstitnte wonld be a condoning of
orime.
Mr. Colley argned that the substitute
before the Honse appeared a just and
proper remedy for the evil complained of.
The extreme remedy of impeaobmc.it is
in this case demanded by no reason of
pnblio policy or of absolute ju-ttce.
Mr. Ntsbet called tue previous ques
tion ana it was ordered by the Honse,
The main question was then ordered
Under the rale Mr. Mynatt, the mover
of tbe substitute, was allowed twenty
minutes ia whioh to speak, as well as
the oomtmttce.
Mr. Mynatt eaid he did tot desire to
discuss tna question any turtuor. He
desired to Gay, bowever, tha. ho had
osnsulted Witn Mr. King since his former
speech, and be desired to withdraw all
personal remarks about that gentlemen
as there was no difference between
them.
Mr. Paine ssid he had little to say.
He merely wished to say, as ho had yts
terday, that he was to act on his own re
sponsibility. Hm was gla-i that Mr. Tar
ner, of Brooks, agreed with him in this
view of the propriety of tho case. He
appealed for justice with moderation.
Mr. Miller, of Houston, concluded the
debate on the part of the special commit
tee of which ha was chairman. He dep
recated the allusions which had indicated
that the committee had desirtd to prose-
cate this man.
The question then was upon the sub
mitted by‘Mr. Mynatt. Oa this Mr. Cox,
of Tronp, called ths yeas and nays They
were ordered and were as follows: Yeas
43 ; nays, 109; so the substitute was lost.
Tna committee’s resolution ordering
the impeachment were then read.
The vote was taken on them separate
ly. The first resolution was adopted, on
the call ot the yeas and nays, oy 25 yeas
to 13 nays. The seejnd and their reso
lutions ware unanimously adopted.
Speaker Bacon inquired if there was
any objection to the annonnoement, at
this time, of th« committee to proceed to
the bar of the Senate and there impeach
J. W. Renfroe of high crimes and misde
meanors.
There was no objections, and the
Speaker announced the committee as fol
lows : A. S. Miller, of Houston; George
R. Sibley, of Rionmond; W. C. Sheffield,
of Early; Reese Orawford, of Muscogee;
Knkert A. Niihnfc. nf Kihb: A- J- ihag,
of Floyd; J. F. Awtry, of Troup.
Tha Speaker stated that ha had ap
pointed members of the special investi
gating committee.
Tne Committee on Publio Property re
ported that they did not deem it expedi
ent to build a new capitol just now.
The House then adjournsd to nine
o’oiock to-morrow.
THE HOUSE
met at 9 o’clook and was called to order
by the Speaker. Prayer by Rev. John
Jones, D.D., Chaplain. The roll was
called and a quorum found present. The
journal was read and approved.
On motion of Mr, Hall the House took
np and concurred in the Senate amend
ment to a bill relative to tho use of the
State’s money by tho Treasurer.
The Honse also concurred in a Senate
amendment to a bill to relieve Benjamin
F. Matthews of Chattahoochee county.
The special order was tho bill to es
tablish a law creating a Stato Board of
Health.
On motion ot Mr. Adams the bill was
postponed until the consideration of the
Treasury reparts.
THE TREASURY.
The House then resumed the consider
ation of the reports of the committee on
the conduct ot thu State Treasurer.
Mr. Livingston withdrew the substi
tute for the committee’s resolutions which
he had offered the day before.
Mr. Mynatt then offered the resolu
tion ho had offered tho day before, which
provided for the acceptance of the resig
nation of Mr. Bentroo and the tender of
the money, and also instructed the Gov
ernor to proceed in the case as the law
directs, for the breaches *>f daty by ti c
Treasurer.
Mr. Mynatt then addreisid the Hcuse
in favor of tho jnstioe of bis'reseiu- on.
Mr- Matthews opposed Mr. Mynr.ti’s
substitute. He declared that the tiouie
wax no plaoe for mercy but for juBtioe.
Mr, Livingston next addressed the
House. He said it seemed that the ad-
vooatja of isapaaohiAent had cried with
Maobeth. “Lay on MoDoff and damned
be ha who cries first, hold, enough! ’

Tilsien’s Reported New Deal.
The latest phase of the New York
Democratic embroglio is the report tkac
Tiiden’s programme for the Statu cam
paign, now that he has carried his point
in securing the nomination of Governor
Robinson, is the withdrawal of Robinson
and the promotion of Clarkson N. Pot
ter, the candidate for tha Lieutenant-
Governor, to be the candidate for the
Governorship. In this way the Tamms-
myites and other disaffeoied Democrats,
having been properly disciplined at Syr
acuse, would bo afforded an opportunity
to drup into line in support of Potter; and
the ticket could be “whooped up” by tha
united Democracy. Those, however, who
are well versed in New York polities,
discredit the idea of the withdrawal
of S.binaon. They say that in fact the
Robinson party in the State is almost
stronger than Tiiden’s party,and that hu
adherents would not stand his being OSfd
as a cat’s-paw to pnll Tiiden’s chestnuts
from the fire. Neither is it believed thar
Tudeu is disposed to make the seeming
concession'to John Kelly cf withdra - ing
Robinscn from the race after the treman-
duu3 exertions made to effect his nomi
nation. It, is believed that Tilden meane
to toke this occasion no? that ho has
Kelly and Tammany on the hip, in the
utiuude ot deserters from the regular
•.lcket, to exterminate Tammany or eom-
pal a total change in its management,
fnese who know him well eay that he
means to make this fight to tbs death
with Kelly this year, and that there will
be no offer of truce from his cnir.p to
Tammany.
