The Post connects General Henry B, Jackson's presence in Atlanta with the fiio» c iffd theory. Griwo Bacx to Other Days.—TTr.dor thv< hw.t we find the following in the Constitution: It i! stated by some members of the House tua’ the investigations ander- xangemen's are not to stop with the in- cambrnle during tho present administra tion. It is asserted that investigations into the books of former regimes in soma of the departments reveal matters capable of extensive explanation. In the office of Comptroller-General, the administration of Madison Bell has beer, uuder scrutiny and two gentlemen who bavo examined into some of the ac counts there report that items to the amount of many thousands of dollars ar- in a mate ot confusion. They wilibear straightening out, and it is understood that Mr. Be 11 will bo called upon to eluci date theca matters. He i3 at present in the city and reported as taking an anxiia- interest in the progress of tho in- veungatioos. From this fact, it is pre sumed that no is ready to answer any de mand for explanation that may be made upon him. Burnt rs of a like purport refer to af fair* id the Treasurer’s office during tho Bollock regime, when Dr. Angier was the inonmber*. It is said that should the prei'ant Treasurer be punished id that in which Treasurer Angier made a prece dent. the constitutional power to impeach those who have held office will be invoked to reach, tbe cases back of the present one. Th. se things are a part of toe cur rent talk in tbe House, end breezy may bo locked for when .tne matters aro brron-h- forward. Tne Constitution also says all these cssse wil. b- biought before tbo grand jury of Fulton county which meets next Monday. Tus Atlarta school board has recently adopted the following rules: To entitle resident pupils toradmission to any f tne publio schools, they must hr.ve taken np tboir residence within the gyjf..-. jIa limit? of tho *>lly fno pupil whose residence is tem porary, and for the purpose only of ob taining tbe benefit of the schools, shall bo admitted; nor shall any pupil be ad mitted whoso parents or guardians are non-residents. [To the uninitiated wo will explain tbai on into manendi in the above rule means^-with the intention of remaining.”] Too other important questions were settled by the board trad me as follows: 1 That no soldier residing in the city bee ’he right to send his children to the public soubM without payment of tui tion fees. 2. That all pupils present with their elm-ses on the last day of the last term and regularly promoted shall have pref erence it their classes. 5.’ * Thu returns show that there are 1,783 whi’e children in the fear grammar school- and 2,980 in the high and white and colored grammar ecbools combined. There am 535 white children holding cards vZ admission for whom no room can be mad?; abont 300 colored pupils aro m the same predicament. * Gen. Beauregard and Bob Toombs had a bearing before the Esoorder in Atlanta, Monday morning, on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. They are both off color. Ge:t. Toomb3 and a Big Eailroad Fee.—We 'credit tbe following to the Augusta Chronicle: It is very generally slated that Gen eral Toombs has recently received a large fee from the Georgia Eailroad for cer tain services by him rendered to that corporation. The statement is that the Mucon and Augusta Eailroad became indebted to tbe State for certain taxes for s< vstul years, and that said taxes, with n-es and penalties, amounted in the i.fegregate to the Bnm of one hun- d.-cJ i ad fifty thousand dollars. The Ger.i^ia Eailroad Company has the con trol e. .he Macon and Aognsta Eailroad. By r on of the endorsement by the Geomix <>f a large atnonnt of tbe Maoon and A.-.^usta bonds and other indebted ness, the Georgia Eailroad may be con sidered os the virtual owner of the Macon lioou. As we understand it, Gen cral To.mba proposed to the President and Dsectors of tbo Georgia Boad that be would seltie the State’s claim of $150,- 000 against the Macon and Augusta road for twenty thousand dollars. The con ditions were that the money was to be paid in advance, and t ost the Macon acd Angnsia railroad was to be relieved by an act of the Legislature from ell fines and penalties. Of the twenty thousand dal iars paid General Toombs we learn that twelve thousand wont to (he State Treas ury and eight thousand to Gen. Toombs. These ore the feels In the main in circu lation iu this oily. We presume that Gen eral Toombs had authority to make tbe sottlemen. for the State, otherwise bo conld not have effected this arrangement with the Georgia road. In this conneo- 1:;l i. ..ray not be emiss to inquire : Who gave General Toombs the authority to oompremis. this indebtedness? How oemo it that General Toombs promised the pturi-ge of a bill of relief by (he Leg islator.? General Toombs was to hold tbo twenty thousand dollars until the terms of the.oompromlse had been com plied with. Iif caso of failure to effeot the arrangement, tbe money was to be returned ho the Georgia road. The peo ple would like to know the bottom foots in this o. sa. The State’s Monet—Wno Should Eeef It?—A Chronicle repoiter has been talking with the bank men in Angcsta on this subject and found them, without exception, favoring a division of tho State’s funds: “It? genera! idea wan that there Bhonld be one bank in each of the prinoipal cities and towns of the State, designated as a State depository. In this bank the col, lectors in bounties contiguous to tho city or town in which It would be looated Ehould'be required to place tbe State tax* cn co!? , ''' , ed by (hem, end those fa sand dollars in State bonds wonld receive, when they came due, a check on tbe State depository in this city instead of on Atlanta, thus saving the expense of transporting^ the check and considerable trouble besides. This arrangement they said, was but sim ple equity. The majority of those with whom the Chronicle conversed were op posed to tho giving ot any bond to the State, by the bank selected as the depos itory. Individuals, they said, deposited money in tho banks withont receiving any bonds from them,and they saw no reaeon why the State conld not do the same. It would be lowering the dignity of the banks. Then, too, it wonld not be just to exact a bond from the back for funds which were subject to be checked out at any time. One hundred thousand dollars might be deposited to-day and the bank give bond for that amount, and to morrow fifty thousand dollars of it might be drawn out. Tho State would then have the bank’s bond for one hundred thousand dollars, while the bank wonld only hold the State’s money for half’that amount.” The editor of the Olxfenolccan, publish ed at Waycross, offers to sduc-ito one of the Hood orphans, and “will plidge his eacred honor to devote his life to its sup port.” We find the following statement in the wheie it woe eollooted. place For examp e, a same paper: Some days ago we were speaking to one of the leading Bepublioans in this section of the country, in fact a man that controls the entire negro vote of Sonthern Georgia from Savannah to Albany, in regard to the candidacy of Governor Colquitt for re-election. He said: “Why, Gov. Colquitt can carry every colored vote from the coast to the Alabama line. Tnat I n-ver made a D- m- ocratic speech in my life, but if any other man should come out againBt him I will slump the State for him.” An advertisement in the Savannah News reoently for a oarpenter brong ut four responses while one tor a bookkeeper had fifty, which, tho News thinks, has a bad look. SomRfcndj, w go West. Foreign Vessels at Savannah.—We learn frojn the News ,n-t tne “British steamship Trafalgar from Swansea, and the British steamship Joseph Ferens from New York, arrived yesterday. These, with the steamship Troubadour, already reported, make three of the steam fleet expected hero. These vessels are iron bnllt, and carry from 4,000 to 6,000 bales of cotton. There were tnirty-two foreign steamships loaded at this port last season, besides those which “called” at Tybeo for oiders. There are already twenty-five foreign steamers chartered for this port, and it is expected that the fleet this year will double in numbers that of la9t year. While Savannah does not make much of a sensation over her marine, it is, never' theleae, a faot that more foreign oteani- ers come to this port than to all the otb er South Atlantic and Gulf ports com bined, excepting New Orleans." A Saturday night fire at Savannah, burned Simon & Bogere, clothing dealers at 159 Congress street. They were In sured for $5,COO. Ex-Govebkor Brown has reopened an old wound which bids fair to make trouble and bad blood before it is closed again. It is by way of reply to Mr, Garrard’s (of Columbus) attaok on him the other day in connection with his ap' pearance as counsel for the government in tho AsKbnrn moo ut Coin mb 113 He taEes two columns in tho Constitution of ytetsidsy end promises more. We make this extract: After he (Ashbure) was murdered and those who were suspected by the military authorities of haviDg been connected with the mnrder were p'aced under ar rest and confined in prison. General Meade, who was then the supremo mili tary commander of the State, sent for me, end informed me that he desired to Ji^wer.ntion, os he intended to try tho defendants by a military court. We bad a long private interview on the subject, in whioh I earnestly appealed to him to hold the prisoners over nntil the Legists- tare had complied with the reconstruc tion acts, and until civil government in the State should be restored, and then turn them over to the civil an- thorities, General Meade stated that ho wonld be glad to take that course but that murder- for political opinion’s sake were beooming so frequent in the South, that he felt it his duty, for the protection of society, to check it by put ting the perpetrators on trial by military court in some of the mo3t aggravated cases. He stated that he understood tho prisoners would be defended by an array of very able counsel, and he desired some lawyer of experience and ability in the State associated with the Jndge Ad vocate who wonld see that the trial was conducted fairly, and that no legal ad vantage was taken, and if he conld not get my services he wonld employ other counsel, and mdioated one or two names of gentlemen known to me to be very radical politically, and who, in my opin ion, wonld, if employed, prosecute with greet-energy, and be willing to see tbe extreme penalty inflicted. General Meade and I had several interviews on the subject, and I finally said to him that in my opinion no citizen should be snbjected to the death pen alty, no matter what his offense might be, when tried by a military court daring the reconstruction period; and that I thought that if he permitted it daring his admistration, he wonld in after life re gret that he had mada the record, and that I conld in no case represent the prosecution without his private pledge to me that he would approve no finding of the court which I, as counsel for the pros ecution, miglit disapprove; and if there should be a conviction where death would be the penalty that he shonld do all in his power to have tho party held over nn til civil government should be restored, so that the legality of the sentence might be tested before the civil courts. I stated to him that I thought bis own reputa tion demanded this coarse, and that ho could not go down to history as the head of a military administration which had adopted a different practioe. General Meade then asked me if 1 wonld prosecute faithfully and with en ergy, with a view of ascertaining the truth aa to tho gnilt or innocenoe of the prisoners who were accused of the crime. I informed him that I wonld if I under took ’bo cise. But that I could not un dertake it nnles31 controlled it. I stated I wuld have to meet a large array of the ablest lawyers in Georgia, and tbat I wonld do my duty faithfully to the ex tent of my ability in conducting the investigation, so as to ascertain the gnilt or innocence of the accused. I fur ther slued that it would be my policy, as the Legislature would soon act upon tho questions to come before them under the reconstruction acts, not to hasten tho trial faster than was necessary, and that X uhuuld be gratified if the Legis* lature ehould comply with the re* canrtructiua acts pending the trial, pro* vided be wonld permit the case to be stopped in tbat event, end the prisoners to be to nsd over to the oivil authorities, and tbjt I would do all I conld with my friend* 10 r.asten action by tbe Legisla- Anre. A' : e; some nflsetisn. General Me>.dc informed mo that he was willing the ciMi lake that course, and that in the event, I, ss counsel for the United States, wa3 discatibfied with the finding against any one of the prisoners, If the caso should be curried through before the mil itary court, he would either disapprove the find'og or hold np the case untii the o:Vii conrts conld not upon it; aud is the event the military court shonld find sentence of death sgalcct any one of tnc dsiendante, he wonld do all in his pnw-r to give the oaee snoh direction, that tho prisoners might be held until the jaticdlation of the civil conrts oonld at tach, and. the case bo hoard before them by habeas corpus or otherwise. I stau-d25i General Mrado distinctly ’ b I W-ij opposed to trials of that char acter, bu, that in my opinion I oouid serve the interest of my Stare and her resenting the prosecution upon these terms, and with the assurance from him already mentioned better, than to per mit the prosecution to be conducted by those entertaining more ultra and ex treme views, politically, than I enter tained, and that I could undertake the prosecution upon no other terms than those mentioned, and distinotly agreed upon between General Meade and myself. The Constitution also says it was freely rnmored in Atlanta Monday night “that the case of the prinoipal keeper of the penitentiary was definitely arranged, and that by the end of the week, upon his own motion, Captain Nelms wonld resign and quit his ofiloe. While doing this, it-was stated, he would boldly denonnoe the eharges of wrong made against him, and take the proper steps to make oomplete publio vindication of his actings and do- togs capitalist in Angusla bolding ter. tlot- people and of the United-States by rep- To fate, as wa learn from the News, twenty military companies have signified their intention of visiting the Savannah Centennial. The Atlanta Dispatch is responsible for the statement that Mr. Stephens next private secretary will be Chas. B. Wil lingham, of Cartersvilie, son of the editor of the Free Press. Another item about Mr. S. is from the Constitution, and to th9 effeot that “the disqualifying clause of the sentence passed upon the late Comptroll er General by tne High Gonrt of Im peachment is nnduly severe. He says, moreover, that had he been a member of the Senate, he wonld have voted against disqualification.” The Augusta Chronicle is responsible for the statement, that Mr. Waterman, of the LaGrunge Reporter, has bought tho Athene Danner tiota Dr. Carlton, and will hereer conduct it. Other Athens items ere that east winds and polecats are disturbing the serenity of the town, and that Dr. Henry Hall his been a sub eciiber to the Chronicle since 1825. Having publishes tbe statement by the Augusta Chronicle, to which the fol lowing is a reply, we are bound to give General Toombs the benefit of the deo larations set forth below by some friend of his, who speaks authoritatively: Editors Chronicle uni Constitutionalist: General Toouiba tuw not recently, or ut any time, received a large or small fee from tbe Georgia Eailroad for service in connection with any of the matters men tioned in your article. General Toombs did,not propose to the president or direc tors of the Georgia road that he wonld settle tbe Stste’a claim of $150,000 agains- tbp Macon & Augusta for the mm of $20,000 or any other sum. General Toombs never promised the passage of a bill of relief by the Legisla ture. General roomb3 has not in an; way aided in obtaining the passage of such an act. Beal Facts.—The Macon and Augusta Ev.lroad was in default for taxes for 1874-1877 inclusive. Tax executions is sued against tbe road for an aggregate amount of $ico,ooo, or whioh amount $120,00 was penalty. The company filed its counter affidavits against theso exe cutions, and tne Supreme Court held tbat the company, not having complied with the conditions precedent to such defense, could not be bound in that sort of pro ceeding. Tbis decision tnrned tho exe cutions loose, but did not leave the company remediless. It had two reme dies: either to file a bill in equity and have the true amount of the tax ascer tained by expensive and probably pro tracted litigation, or apply to the Legisla ture for relief. It ohose tho latter course The caee presented to the Legislature (cot, however, by Gen. Toomb3, who, outside of his professional services, has La<3 — -*• V*I»»er *** ^ was this: Tho whole property ot this railroad is not worth more than $500.COO. The tax upon it annnally would be $2,000. Its default m making returns has nos beeD wiltnl. It is ready to pay all the tax with interest thereon. The State has been subjected to expense in litigating tbis matter, and the oompany is willing also to relieve the State from that expense by paying all its counsel—not General Toombs alone. The article now nnder review wonld convey .tho idea that there was something covert and secret in tbis transaction of which it treats. The writer ot that article is mistaken. All the facts above stated appear tally in the preamble of tbe bill presented on behalf of the Ma- con and Angcsta Brilroad Company to tbe Legislature. They mads oat euoh a clear c-ist> for the relief asked tbat tbe Finance Committees of both Houses, act ing separately, unanimously recommend ed the granting of it, end the bill was passed by an almost unanimous vote of both Houses. The Maoon and Augusts Eailroad Company, through its Trustee, W. M. Reese, E=q , as an earnest of its good faith, did, wbile the bill was still be fore tbe Legislature, deposit with the counsel of the Srate a sum sufficient to pay the t ixca and interest, and a earn for ooun - eel fees, which, in view of the amount in volved, was moderate—the whole amount so deposited for tax, including also tax for 1878, interest, writ and counsel fees, wsb about $20,000, It was, of course, the right of tbe trustee to have this sum re turned, if instead of tbe settlement au thorized by the Legislature, litigation be tween the State and the company hod been resumed. But aa this aa to the Georgia Eailroad and Banking Company, it has no relation to the ease except as one of the mortgage creditors of the Ma con and Augusta, and it has not been one of tbe coutrac.irg parties in any ot them. General Toombs’ position has been wholly tn.sr. presented. The fair, faithful and efficient counsel of the State powerfully and uprightly assisted the Attorney General in enforoing whas they understand to be the full measure of her just rights, and establishing a claim for compensation greater than he has re< calved or is likely to receive. The Montizuma Weekly, says Ur. Sam Hurst, of that county, will make this year, with six males, 100 bales of cotton and more com than he will need next year. Also, that Mr. George Slappy had his gin house and ten bales of cotton burned lest Tuesday! If anybody hankers after an unlucky stove, wo can pat them on track of it. It is owned by Mr. T. H. MoDowell, of Talbot county, and has just caused him a los3 of $300 by setting fire to bis store room. A few years ago, the Register says, it was rescued from a fire in Columbus, sold to Mr. Jamc9 McDowell, tbe father of the present owner, and whilo there burned out his entire kitchen and dwell ing house. It then came into the posses, slon of Mr. T. H. McDowell, and has now burned him out to the extent above noted. Additional items from the Register arc as follows: The Mother of Govcenors.—Jeffer son county has been the birthplace or residence of more Governors of Georgia than any other county in tho State. Wm.

Colquitt: I have been reliably informed that the opposition to the Department of Agriculture, and the demand for its abolition, whioh has found expression in various forms, is to a large extent, based upon personal opposition to myself, and believing, as I do, that snoh opposition will not only impair my usefulness as tbe head of the department, but serious ly endanger its existence; believing, too, tbat the abolition of tho department at tbis time would be a calamity to the far mers of Georgia and the best interests of the State, I am not willing, even seem* ingly, to be an obstsole to the advance ment of these interests. Notwithstand ing my conviQtions that I have faithfully discharged my duties to the best of my skill and ability, in a work so new, with out example or precedent, errors of judg ment and mistakes in the exercise or a very wide discretion emj have beenoom- milled.

The journal was read and approved. Senator Preston moved to reconsider the action of the Senate rejeoting the bill requiring judges of the Supreme and Superior Gonrt to make oertain reoommen dationa to the Legislature as to the laws- of the State, The motion was not agreed to. The doorkeeper here announced that the House of Bepreaentatives were at the door of the Senate. The President ordered the Honsa to be admitted. The House entered headed by the Speak er and the managers appointed to con duct tho impeaohment of Treasurer Eenfroe.

Eenfroe will pursue ; whether he will make an unconditional surrender or fight eaoh article to the hilt. Mr. Eenfroe has engaged tho serviooB of General Henry B. Jaokson, of Savan nah, and also hi3 sou, Captain Harry Jackson, of this city. General Jaokson reached Atlanta a day cr two ago. It is probable that the Treasurer will require a few days to prepare his case to meet tho articles of impeaohment, in which case, although Thursday is fixed as tho day to take np the esse, it will most likely go over nntil Monday next The trial canuct poseibly la> t more than a week at thentmosr, the popular impres sion being tbat it osnnot occupy more than two or three days. ANOTHER RESIGNATION. Yesterday, late in the evening, Dr. Thomas P. Janes tendered hia resigns tion to the Governor of tho office of Cpmmiooinnfirpf Agriculture of theUtato of Georgia. The reasons innnenoing jjc. Janes to take tbis step are not known.. It is said that au his office is one of ap. pointment by the Governor that Dr. Janes is desirous to save the Governor the embarrassment of noting on his case by tendering his resignation of the same and that he fears personal- enemies who will jeopardize the bnroan if he remains in office. It ib abo said that the investigating oommittee have discovered oertain irreg ularities or crookedness in the conduct and tffairs of the office of Commissioner of Agriculture whioh will necessiate the resignation of the Commissioner, and ihns he is simply making a virtue of ne cessity. Tbe oommitte have not yet made their report but will do so in a a very few days. THE NEW COMMISSIONER. Who will be tho new Commissioner is not one of the known thiugs at present. There are, however, two candidates al ready in the field—Mr. J. S. Newman, a clerk in the Department, and Dr. Hen derson, of Newton county, Tho latter gentleman has been a candidate formerly. THE RESOLUTION providing for tbe payment of the expens es of the Wild Land Investigating Com mittee, was agreed to thiB morning. There haa been considerable difference between the Honse and Senate In refer ence to several amendments proposed by the Senate and disagreed to by the House; after passing through the hands of two Committees of Conference, the House and Senate finally settled on the report of the laet committee, and the resolution now stands. AN IMPORTANT BILL. A bill to pay Nolioitors General, clerks, sheriffs, magistrates and oonstablee, in solvent costa out of the fand raised from tbe hire of perso.ns convicted of felony. The bill oame np thia morning, and, after a debate ot some length, was voted down by a very small majority. Mr. Harris, of Bibb, advocated the passage ef the bill on the ground that thisia a fund whioh belongs to eaoh conn ty in the State, and not to the Stats Treasury. The officers of oonrt are.en- titled to the fnnd because they bring it into conrt,’ and because they, are required by law to perform the services, and yet from the faot that the parties condemned are frequently insolvent, the officers gat no pay. - The tax payers suffer nothing because the fund does not come out of them; it hurts nobody, and is an aot of justice to the officers, who are entitled to ooat for services rendered tho State and OOUnty.
