This time it was private Gib Jbono, of the U. S. A., who was butchered fcja comrade. About the Capitol.—Under thia head the Atlanta Dispatch gossips ns follows: Various speculations are abroad prog' aoeticatmg the result of the Keniroa im peachment. Some of Bsnfroe’a strongest friends even go so far as to prophesy an ococuUal, while tho more discreet will be abundantly aatirfi-d with o verdiot ot guilty, if the disqualification sentence is emitted. We have had frequent inquiry as to irbat will be tho r.EcIt of the Benfroo Axial. We frankly answer that, we &>u’i know, and there is no chance for any body to know. Wo are told that a deter mined and bold effort is being made to free Eonfroo. We learn that last night » caucus was held by some of Bcnfroa’e 2i9gUld.:ure friends, bat we tuiak wo see plenty of evidenoe that tho Senate will do its full duty, and render a Verdiot in aooordanco with the facts of this case. It that is dono tho people will be eatis Sad. Nelms has not yet resigned. This knotty problem will in probability b solved by the Legislature in a manner different from the way indicated at first. The LigieLlare will attempt to cure th" dilemma by passing a bill to abolish the office of P. incipal Keeper of the Peniten tiary, and appointing Wardens in his place. In that event Nelms will not have to resign, or Colqnitt be made to choose whether he will sustain Nelms or tura him out. Jadge Henderson and Captain W. A. Wright, tho recent appointees, are en gaged at work m their respective de partments, and wo learn as yet neither have made their appointments for the clerical force. Ex-Gov. Brown has another letter in the CoMtiiniion of yesterday. To show how he is worming up to his work, we quote the conclusion. Ho says: Ent why shonld I follow the gentleman through the maze of pettifogging quib bles which he has thrown before tho pnb- lio ? It is enough that I have shown by tho record that bis statements are false and unfounded. The instrument, while standing in his place, in the house and abusing tho privileges of a representative of the peopio has made an uuwarranted attack upon me, upon a point wholly for eign te the matter under investigation. And when ho isbronght before the pnblic and the *<tack is shown to be malicions and unfounded, ho attempts to escape by perverting the truth, resorting to quib- boln and by misrepresentations. Naturalists informs as that there ex ists in the ocean what ia known as the ent'le fish, which carries within it a bag of dark, offonBive, slimy matter, ana when pursued it squirts its slime behind it, and tbns muddies the water to enable it to escape its pnraueis. The little cat tle by wbich I have been attacked imi tates the example of bis marine friend, and having made an unwarrantable as* asult in wbich he cannot enatain himself, he flees behind misrepresentations and abase, and as ho goes, pours behind him the slimy filth which he deems necessary to bis escape. . In another article I will discuss farther the conduct of the star chamber. The Car tersville Free Press ia solid for General Toombs for Governor. In faoi, solid ia not the name for it The diction ary fails to oonvey the idea. Aa to the Congressional race it SBys “the latest whisper now ia to the effeot that certain leaders ore speaking of General Young for the race. Those leaders aro not the friends of oar distinguished fellow-oiti u:D. They were the men who defeated hie ' ^-nomination for Congress at Cal houn, in 1874, in the face of the fact that ho was the choice of the people, and bail been faithful to them. Those men now want to sacrifico General Young again.” It adds that Dr. Felton will ran again next year, and will have a bigger major ity than ever. The Savannah Recorder is crying for the moon. It is suggesting that the question of having the capitol at Mil- ledgeville be reopened. Judo* J. M. Wale, of Montgomery county, was eleoted list week Senator from the 15th district to fill a vacancy. The vote was quite small. The cotton receipts at Savannah by rail on Wednesday were 6,339 bale?. When Woods sets ont to tell one, he don't allow anybody to get ahead of him. He savs that on Saturday, the 26th, near hlcBea, ‘‘Messrs. Wm. McLean, Wright Lancacter and E. W. Lancaster, with the assistance of DickMoten, colored, caught ten al'igatore, six of whioh were as large as alligators grow in this country. The alligators woro caught from their caves by means of hooks attacked to tho ends Of long poles.” The Dawson Journal is sure the Slate saves nothing by small salaries. "On the contrary it says, "the polioy of meagre salaries Isofton sn apt illustration of penny wlso and proud foolish. It seems absurd to offer men salaries insufficient, If not to their personal needs, at least to support tho dignity of tho effioeto which they are called, and at the same time ex- peot them to live within these salaries, and yet this is exactly what wo are at present doing. We would be glad to see the salary of every office within the gift of the people inoxcased. When that is dono we will have entered npon the road to tme economy.” Wx find the following in tho Angaria. Chronicle-. Champion Cotton Pickino.—Some of the beat cotton picking ever done in ono day, In the Sontb. was recently accom plished on the plantation of Dr. J. N. Oliphant, of Jefferson county, as the fol lowing list will show : Alex. Farmer, 353 pound?; Jeff. Jordan, 369; Dob Little, 273; Henry Oliphant, 400; Jim Kelley, 409; George Hunt, 418; John Smith, 465: total pioking by seven hands, 2,787 pounds. The cotton was picked when it ■wav dry and was weighed dry by parties not interested. Industbxal School r:n Coached Giqls.—The Franciscan Sisters, who have been in this city for a little over a year, are about to establish on industrial school for colored girls In Harrisonville. They have purchased a lot containing four acres, and intend to creot suitable buildings. Wo understand that they have already applications for admission into the echool from Savannah and other points, JChb Albany Revs reportB cropa not cut Ed short from caterpillars as was feared, and that the worms have left many places. - ' I Wxcredit these items to the aame £a;er: A Esspe:iats Fight,—On Saturday ^oveinment; cuts of the military and sag- last at noon an altercation occurred be tween Mr. S. D. Wilson and Mr. Lewis Barber, two welt known planters of this countv. in which- Mr. Lswis wa3 fa.ally shot by Mr. Lswis Barber. The trouble occurred just eight miles below Albany, on the “Orr Place,” owned by Mr. S. H. Wilson, brother of deceased. Wb got our first glimpse of tho Sparta lehmaelite yesterday. It is well named if notbiDg else, but it ia a greatdea! more that la bright and pointed. Juai cow it is after ex-Gov. Brown with an apparent ly been appetite, n3 the following will show: The Was.—The war between Mr. Gar rard and the inventor of tie "Jo Drown pike,” promises to be warm. Mr. G. seems to have possessed himself early in the strife with one of those ruthless weapons, and he handles it with a skill and au eye to business that wonld excite the admiration of Oetewayo. Those who have ever had the satisfaction of looking upon one of those fesxful weapons will remember that they are provided with a hook, while a most dreadful locking knife projecled in front. The idia ot the remorseless inventor in attaching the hook to this dreadfnl weapoD, is thought by military men to have indi cated both genius and originality. If an enemy should be disposed to make a stand a few feet in front of you, by bitching the hook nnder his belt he conld be instantly drawn witnin range of your fist, or ramrod or a sand bag or som« other sort of deadly weapon. By dex terously fastening the hook into the seat of hi3 breeches, a retreating enemy could be detained, until his thor oughly exhausted patience would leave him no alternative bnt surrender. It is likely that this rear view of the use of this combination weapon, pre sents it in the fearfully harassing light which first suggested it to tho Comman der iu-chief of the Georgia militia during tua late unpleasantness. It is at least trno that no more successful way of de taining in one's immediate presence a dissatisfied party who fain would get himself thenoe, has 6ver been discovered by tho uninspired genius of man. Mr. Garrard, having equipped himself with one of these back action weapons, is pre pared to do a considerable amount of po etic jastice. Give it to him, Mr. Gar rard; give it to him. It wonld afford us a half century of unalloyed pleasure to see the heroic inventor flying in rear- mmed discomfiture. Joseph would then be known in history as "Get-a-way-ob,” the inventor of the pike. Shove him up. The Ishmaelite shows a remarkably level head in tbeee remarks These is not a single subtantial reason why the Democratio party in Georgia should be divided on local issues. True, there ia diversity of sentiment on matters of borne interest, in erery community in the State; but these differences aro os to methedi, and not e3 to principles. It will cot do for us to divide "juec for the fun of the thing,” for it will be found, the end, tfcat there was no fun in division. The people are all opposed to corrupt methods, and it is absolutely in their power to in stitute honest one?. - It i3 absurd for the members of a party who bare a common hope, a common sympathy, a common end in viow, to fall ont, wrangle and fight over so small a matter ns the desire to advance particular men to office. Georgia has a right to expect of us some- thing better than that. In view of the crisis that is ahead of ns in the affairs of this aggregation of Bepublics, let us stand together like a Macedonian phal anx, until the threatened "empire” shall have oo presont terror for na and no fu lcra alarms for onr children. What Majdh Campbell Wallace Eecollxcts AbohtIIt.—We find the fol lowing in the Constitution of yesterday: Editors Constitution: I have nothing to do with the controversy that is bring ing before the pnblio facts hitherto held sacred regarding the trial of the Coiam bus prisoners, but certainly have no ob jection to telling in yonr columns what transpired between General Meade and myself, to which Governor Brown refers in hi3 publication in yonr paper ot yes terday. I will, however, first explain how I came to know anything about the matter. I was appointed Superintedent of the Western and Atlantic railroad by Gov. JenkinB prior to the inauguration of military government in the Htate under the reconstruction acts. I held the po* oition up to the time of the removal of Governor Jenkins by the military. I then notified Geu. Meade I would re sign. My self respect forbid my hold ing an office after the removal of my su perior, but would remain in the menage' ment of the road, until he conld find t suitable successor. Ia a day or two or perhaps more, I received an argent letter from Governor Jenkins insisting that I should continue in charge of tbe State’s property where he had placed me until removed by the bayonets; that It was a duty to tho people ot Georgia to remain and protest their property as long as conld do eo. General Meade was urgent and anxious I shonld retain the office, saying that he knew me very well from reputation, mad believed I would honestly and faithfully manage tbe State’s interests. After the receipt of Governor Jenkin'a letter as above stated, I called on Gen eral Meade and told him X would with draw my resignation, exmbited to him Governor Jenkin’a letter and said to him that if it was of any oonseqnenoe to him or the government for me to remain that ho was indebted to Governor Jenkins for my doing so, aa the Governor was the only man living that conld have removed my objections. General Meade was profuse in his ex pressions of thanks to Governor Jenkins. Bemaining thns connected with his and General Roger's administration of the State of Georgia, I was brought into close and intimate daily intercourse with Gen, Meade and baviDg rendered him what he copsidered important aid in many ways, and especially in the management of the State’s flnanoes, I am sore I had his friendship and to eome extent bis confi dence, which I never failed to use when opportunity offered for the benefit ot Georgians. Ashburnwas murdered at Columbus. Many persons of that city and vioinity suspected of tbe crime were arrested by the military. A conrt-martial was or dered to try tbe prisoners, and ths coun try was convulsed with an excitement such &31 had at no time encountered during the terrible war wo had jo3t gone through. My sympathy was strongly enlisted in behalf of those young men, and, like many others, I deplored the consequences that would result from thoir conviction and exeention. The fact that an old and highly esteem ed friend, ex-Governor Brown, had con sented and been employed for the prose cution was an additional source of annoy ance to mo as I conld not imagine the in ducement or circumstances controlling him in prosecuting car people before a military oonrt. Deeply sensible of the terrible crisis impending, I dstermiced to do all I could with General Mosdo to mitigate tbe fury ot the storm if it oome. Having free sooesa to his presence, I did impor tune him time and again to know if there could not be some way to prevent the exeention ol the prisoners, it found guil ty. General Meade was a gentleman, kind and courteous in his disposition, but determined the law should tako its course. Ia my last interview with him on the subject I no donbt was more in earnest and morn importu nate than at any previous one. I remember well that in my intense anxiety abont the matter, that his perfect coolness and ap parent unconcern was provokingly annoy ing to me. ^Vr.cn at ths door leaving, he called me;back and said: "I know yon can keep a secret, i tell you this court will never arrive at a conclusion in that trial,” I made no reply for I did not compre hend bis meaning. He continued with emphasis: “Do you understand?” and then added: “The inauguration of civil pends their functions. Then, if yonr people think proper to try these prison- era £ have nothing to do with that.” I left satisfied there would be no military execution. General Meade’s injunction of secrecy I considered sacred, and it was held sa cred until the telegraph announced his death. I then spoke of itin the presence of some gentlemen (bnt never to Govern or Brown) who on reading this will no donbt remember it. Bespectfally, Campbell 'Wallace. Atlanta, October 3,1879. Pasties are badly mixed in Bnrke connty. There are Democrats, Inde pendents, Independent Corker Demo crats, Independent Democrats and Radi- cals. At an eleotion for Sheriff laBt Tuesday a O. I. D. beat a Badical for sheriff by a largo majority. The Bainbridge Democrat celebrated its eighth birthday last Wednesday. Wo offer oar congratulations and wish it many happy returns. The Sparta Times and Planter says Bishop Pierce “returned from the West Wednesday afternoon. He held the St. Lonis and Indian Conferences while gone. He gained some flesh while gone, and is looking better than when ho left. He preached a great deal, and stood the work finely. Little Walter Pierce, his grandson, accompanied him, and enjoyed the trip finely.” The Greensboro SerdlA reports the re turn to that place from Ohio of Mr, McNeider with a flock of pure Merino sheep. Mr. McNeider’s flock numbers 512, and cost over $6,000. Among the number are seven rams which cost $1,- 100. The freight on the sheep from Ohio to this place was $565. The Cnthbert True Southron is no mere—that is as to name. Hereafter it will be the Cnthbert Messenger and wo wish it much good fortune. Or grape growing and wine making in Biudolph county the Messenger has this tossy: There is no part of this broad land better fitted for grape growing than Ban- dolph and the surrounding oounties. The mannfaotnre of wine is steadily increas ing, and in a few years will not be con fined in the ecuppernong, but the varieties of the bunch grape best suited to this climate, and soil will be onltivated largely. There is no more inviting field for nsefnl, beautiful and remunerative employment. The lands are oheap, the country healthy and the work smarted successfully. It is not an experiment. Its golden fruits have al ready been gathered. There has not been a single failure by anyone who has cared for his vines while they have borne. Mr. Price bought a few years since Mr. McAfee’s place containing, we think, one hundred and thirty-eight sores, and having a good dwelling there on, to be paid for in three payments, and he now says: "the wine from tbe eight acres in vines has paid for the whole place.” Did space permit, we could show by careful aooounts, kept by some who have been engaged in tbe work, that the culti vation of the ecuppernong grape oosts nothing, because the crops of corn, oot- ton, peas, etc., that can be raised in the vineyard np to the time of bearing, folly payB for all this work. We may at some future time furnish an article npon the culture and expense of the same. Between seven and ten thousand golden barrels of wine have been made in this connty this year, and tho production will rapidly increase, as many young vine yards will be in bearing next year, and tbe old increase yearly. The Georgia railroad has recently re. ceived a freight locomotive, weighing thirty-five tons and capable of drawing thirty heavily loaded oars. Attached to it is tbe Eames vacuum brake, similar to those in use on the New York elevated railroad. With this brake a train can be stopped almost instantly, while at full speed. The Atlanta correspondent of the An- gusto Nine* briefs the business of tb e present session as follows: There nave been 417 bills introduced in the Honse—of the latter 335 were in troduced at the December session. There have been abont 300 resolutions intro duced. The House has passed 22 Senate bills and the Senate has passed 100 House bills—thus making 131 bills passed alto gether. Of these not one, as yet, has been vetoed. Messrs. Pratt Adams, of and Wm. H. Hulsey, of Atlanta, have introduced more bills than any other members. Mr. Halsey introduced 35 bills, and Mr. Adame 33. The Hartwell Sun says “it is said when an official steps up to the bar in At lanta and drops his dime on the connter,, that he explains apologetically to the suspicious bystanders that: "I amassed that wealth before I came into office.” Mtstxbious KiLLixa.—The Constitu tion says: From a private sonroe we learned yes terday of the mysterions killing of John Hicks, a resident of Panlding eonnty, who was found dead Wednesday last in the woods a few miles from Dallas. Mr. Hioke, it eeem3, had gone ont banting the day previous and by reason of his not returning his friends storied out in eearoh of him and found his corpse lay ing in the woods with a ballet hole through his body. As jet no one knows who killed him, bat suspicion points to Jerry Shelton, a resident of Dallas, as the guilty party, owing to the foot that it was pretty generally known that these two men were on bad terms, and that Shelton was a man of bad oharsoter, and has not been seen Binoe the murder was committed. Hicks was considered a peaceable man and good citizen. He leaves a wife, who we learn was insulted a few days since by Shelton. This was the cause of the hard feeling that existed between the two. The deceased and Shelton bad a meeting a few days before the mysteri- ona death of + ha former which came very near being a serious affair. On Wednesday last, says the Oolnmbns Times, “Mr. W. T. Wooldridge, ot Chat tahoochee oounty, loaded np his wagon and started to Golumbns. As the wagon was rather slow, Mr. Wooldridg walked on in advance and during the walk he met a large bnll dog in the road. The dog made a severe attack upon him, and as he was entirely unarmed, not even having a stick or knife with which to de fend himBelf, he was badly bitten. The dog bit him severely around the face and neck. Mr. Wooldridge had a severe fight with him and put in tho hckB to the best advantage with feet and hands. But from the fact that Mr. W. made each a determined fight he would have caught him by tho throat and probably bitten him to his death.” The Borne Tribuns says the more highly eduoated members of the colored Baptist Church have determined to build a church of their own, and to close the doors on all but tho most aristocratic of their race. Cnmnsa oh tiie Floor.—The Augusta Chronicle has the following in its Atlanta report under this head i The afternoon session wsb entirely oc cupied by Senator Camming, of the Eighteenth, ia a speech in whioh he de clared he did sot think the evidence sufficient to convict Benfroe. Mr. Holton of tb'e Tenth, asked him whether he held that the Treasurer oould deposit and use interest on the people’s money. Mr. Camming—If yon had waited a moment I was coming to that. Mr. Holton—I was afraid you would dodge it. - - ■—•- "v Mr. Camming—This is not a plaoe to bandy discourtesy and I am not the man to do it. Bnt I will answer your rude, boorish question. THE STATE LESlSLATUBE. Atlanta, October 3. AVXEBKOOH SESSION. it ' THE HIUK COURT CV UCPiACXSISNT met at the hour of Adjournment, tb'e Chief Justioe in tbe ehalr. Senator Camming offered the follow ing order i That as to article seoond the vote shall first be token' dfi'eaeb of the speoifioationa in their order; and then the question be put on each of said spec ifications as follows: 1. Has tbe respondent oommitted the act charged against him in this specifica tion. Should any Senator answer this question in tbe negative,no farther ques tion shfdt be pat to that Senator touch ing that specification; bnt should he an swer it in the affirmative the farther question shall be as follows: 2. Did respondent commit the ants charged against him in this specification unlawfully ? 3. Did respondent commit tho acts charged against him in this epeoifioation corruptly. 4. Is the respondent guilty or not guilty, under thiB article, of a high mis demeanor in office? That as to esoh of the artioles except the seoond, shall be: 1. Did respondent oommit the aots charged against him in this article? If any uenatox shall answer thia ques tion in the negative, then no farther question shall be asked that. Senator toachiog that artiole, bnt It be shall an swer in the affirmative, then the farther questions shall be as follows: 2. Did defendant oommit the aots ohargod against him in thia artiole un lawfully? 3. Did respondent oommit tho sole charged against him in this artiole cor ruptly? 4. Is respondent guilty or not gnilty, under this article, or a high misdemeanor in office? Senator Holton opposed the order, say ing it would be a faros for tho Senate to regulate its vote on the question ny any such method. Sen.vor Camming said ho forgave tho Sen. or, and after eome twenty minutes occupied in an apology for bis position, he p.ooseded to give the reasons which would influence turn to vote not guilty on th8 fiual issue under the Constitution and his oath. That ho denied that tbe law of 1876,the new Constitution and the law 1878, lorbade tho use ot the funds of tho State in the way the Treasurer did. Tho act of 1876 forbids the. use of the State funds in tue hands of the Troasu rer by either himseif or any other,’peraon That it does not mean the funds he put in the bank. That therefore the act complained of was not suoh a violation of the law as wonld constitute an im peachable offense before the Senate. The balance of Senator Camming’,) argument was a support of this proposition. [Query—If a receiver appointed by the court would, upon an order to p3y over all funds in hiB bands, claim that ho had no funds in his hands, becanee the funds had been by him deposited in bank, bow long would it bo before a rule would lodge him in the connty jail.] The court then adjourned until 10 a m., to-morrow. A VALUABLE VOLUME. I would express my sense of oblige tion to my friend, Major Sydney Her. bert, for tbe presentation of bis valuable volume, the BoBter of Georgia Volun. tears. The book contains the muBter roll ot all the companies and regiments of our Stato, and will prove of immense val ue as perpetrating the military hiBtory of this grand old State. Major Herbert deserves the thanks of every soarred vet' eran and true son of Georgia. The binding is by Capt.

The minutes were read. The Chief Justioe announced that the question before the oourt was tho order offered by Senator Camming last even' ing. Senator Preston suggested that Sena tor Camming was not in his seat. He then prooeoded to dleouss the resolu tion. He favored tho plan proposed as being the simplest and plainest method proposed yet; that it would relieve ell complication end embarrassment, and al low caoh man to vote r.s eeoai3 host to him. Senator Lester said he did not know history would speak, but he did know what history shonld speak. I feel no hostility to the accused, bnt to him I ex tend my warmest sympathy. How can the defendant escape, and ths honor of the Stato be preserved. This question pressed npon mo in this and tho last trial. The Senate set the standard of obeal- ence to the law, and will the Senated set np a new standard? The law bound the Comptroller-General equally with the Treasurer. How can the defendant go free and the Senate bo true to their oaths ? I for one, believe that an oath is not a spectre. Thera is an obligation beyond an oath.’ Senators say that the : ath is only a few line: in a set cf rules. Not eo, it tho breaming of the constitution, an oath to do jusnee, not to assume the prerogative of a God, and pardon. If I was able to deal with men as I pleased, I wonld be merciful, but men are gov erned by rules, and I will do my dety not only beo-usj I hove usvsm it, but because it is right. If the Senate is not to b9 governed by law, (hen too House had as well cease her doers, and the Den- ate oesse to try delinquent officers. Who made this court a court of higher law. I demand of each of you yonr commis sion. The clerk here at request of ihe Senator read the order. I do not see the practfoal use in the question. Tho only object is to di vide the. question to a* to tlmpllfy the whole effeot of ths St mtoiV decision. 1 It was the duty of the Tr. usurer to know the law. It mayjbe possible for big nob to know. I hope to God he did not know, but where there is a violation of law, whioh pats money in a man’s pocket will yotj^elieve it? Will a man be al lowed o^^o free on the plea of ignorance and then commit other crimes ? If any man had told me that Senator Camming entertained the views he de clared yesterday, I would have denied it as his friend. Who will oont-nd that be came the money was in the bank subject to his check, it was not in his hands? How wonld this role apply to fonds of a private individual in the hands of an other private Individual? The Treasurer ia the trustee of the people. The law Bays that a trustee must not use the funds entrusted to his oare, but he must answer for its profits. What money was it that caihe from the bank as interest? Wsb it his or the State’s? Benfroe might as well have taken $10,000 of the capital of the State 03 the interest. What Is oorrnptirn? Can you define it any clearer than by this case? How long wilt the State lie safe if a msn can do these things, and then go free and the Senate say there is no violation of law in all this? How long will it bo before somo man will take the capital of the State, plead ignorance of the law and go free? Senator Harrison opposed the speech of Senator Lester. Senator Clarke eaid that each Senator had the right to express his views, and not only did those who were opposed to conviction, but also those who would vote to convict; that the oath of the Sen ator was not only for this tribunal but also to be recorded in tbe court above. Oaths are not to be despised, not only did each Senator swear to perform the oaths in this case, bat there exists the c&th before Heaven to obey theConatitU' tion. Senator Olarke then prooeeded to diB' cuss the constitutionality of tho quee tion. That it is absurd to say that the law means only the n e of funds of the State absolutely in his hands; that the law forbids the deposit of money except so far as he is permitted to do eo by the law, and with the approval of the Gov ernor; that the law specially forbids the aots charged, both in the old laws and in the new constitution. It is a mistake that tho harm of an aot consists only in its being in its inditability. I am told that the constitutional pro visions must be verified by an act of the Legislature to enact a penalty. That the prohibitory provisions of the Constitution have no binding force on the conscience of the officer. The Constitution says the Treasurer must keep the State funds safely. Now Euppose he would careleesly throw the money on the counter, could you indiot him for that? But could we not impeach him and remove him from office ? And tho same reasoning will apply to the routine of the Treasurer's office. Mr. Clark then read from Madison and other fathers of oar government, to show that tho indictability of an act is not the test of its impeachment. The Superior Conrt is governed by the Con stitntion. Could tbs President of the United States eit and veto bill after bill without reason, and not be impenohed because the veto power is not restrained by special law 9 Can you o UV .nere is is no corrnption ? I say there is no need to prove anything beyond the unlawful act. Why eay tho Treasurer did not know the law ? I eay tho Stato of Georgia cannot afford to have her officers ignorant of her laws, Where wonld the proposition stop ? He who forgot tho law wonld also have the right to claim this plea. Let the Constitution and laws go then, and let tho laws be bnt the whisper of tho wind. Can anyono believe that setting in this Capitol, knowing tho Convemlon was cut ting down his salary, that the Treasurer could have been ignorant of the law of thi3 State as promulgated by the Consti tutional Convention ? A-.ain, he tells ns that he kept no account of the amounts received, says it was eomo three or fonr thousand dollars in two years or less, and he a poor man as he toils no. Then I eay there is an effort to keep back the enormity uf his transactions. I am op posed to the order because it will confuse and defeat the object of tho question. Senator Cabaniss advocated the order. Ponding his speech, tne Court and Sen ate adjourned till 3 30 p. m. Atlanta. October 3.1879. HOUSE met at nine a. m., tho Speaker in the chair. Prayer by Eev.

Green, who claim id to bu uu agent of the Stato tor the collection of certain war olaims was referred, submitted a report. The report declares that Green was appointed tne agent ot the State in 1876 and that the act unthonzing his ap pointment has never been repealed. They, therefore, deolare that Green is still the agent of the State and that the Governor had no authority to appoint W. O. Tuggle under ihu ulrcumntaaeos. On motion of Mr. McWhorter the re port on tho agency ot James A. Green was referred to the Judiciary Committee and 300 copies ordered printed.

THE HIGH COUBT OT IMPEACH MENT . met at 3:30 p. m., The Chief Justioe pre siding. Senator Cabaniss argned the side fa voring the order of Senator Camming, at considerable length, claiming that the law and the foots olearly free Benfroe from all blame in the acts alleged to have been committed by him. Mr. Holoombe said he did not wish to say anything hard against anyone. He wished he oould eay to thia man, “go and sin no more.” I was charged with being severe on a former occasion, but I feel that my duty to myself, to the Senate, to the helpless little children of this ooun- try, constrains me to speak, and it I am severe I can’t help it. I wish there was a donbt of his guilt, bnt there is no donbt. His own confession says ho is gnilty. Sympathy! Do you, Senators, give him sympathy who takes the taxes of tho poor to enrich the rich? Did he make the credit of the State Btrong? Was it not rather beoauea the State paid her own debts, and people had oonfidenoe in her. I do not wish to do the Treasurer any harm. Is there any reasonable doubt? Why the facts all speak to the contrary—the secret manner of getting the money. He claims that ho was mislead by the Angier resolution, Now, if this is true, why did he do the act so secretly that even Mur pby himself did not disoever it till late in the day. Why did he not go to the Leg islature and tell them that there was $22,000 interest, and ask for a portion of it. We did owe a debt of gratitude to An gier, but we paid it in a most unfortu nate manner. We should have allowed the suit to proceed, and have oollected the money and then have paid the debt by gratuity. How can he be ignoront ot tho law? He tells us that he does not know the Constitution; did he not swear to obey and defend it? Ho knew all the law for a hundred years, Wby is all this crowd here. Them spondent’a friends say this is outside pressure for the defendant. Senator Camming—Will yon name a man who has been approached. Holcombe—Ibis is not the pises, bnt if any man asks me ont of this hall I will tell him "yon are the man.” [Applause.] Senator Duboeo made a point of order that the argument was outside of the evi deuce. The Chief Justice—'This argument has taken a wide scope, but tho remarks of the Senator are not wider than others [Applause] Senator Holcombe continued his re marks. Tne acts are admitted, but the excuse he has is that he did not know the law. What exouse is there for the man who is guilty of violating a known law? If I would kill my brother Senator and claim that I did not know tho law would that excuse me? Who will claim that the provision of the Constitution is without weight be cause thero is no corresponding act of the Legislature that make the creature greater than tho creator. Tne Senator was hero obliged to sus pend on account of the lateness of the hour. The court then adjourned until the honrot 930 a. m. Senator Camming stated that Senator Holcombe had stated to him that he, (Camming), was not the person alluded to m tbe Senator’s speech and that there fore he had nothing farther to do with the matter. Senator Holcombe said he would re peat the statement that a high official of the State had stated to a Senator that if,tho Senate should oonvict Benfroe, the people would re-elect him by 100,000 votes. That ths public official was in hearing of his voice, and that if be or the Senator who w&3 approached would ask him, he would give names. [Applause.] The Senate then adjourned. SENATOR CLABEE. The speeoh of Senator Clarke was a strong and manly appeal to the honor and truth of tho Senators to regard the sanctity of tho oath on each man’s soul in this oase. The speech was also a close iy constitutional argument and Ubb been highly commended and applauded in and out of the Senate chamber. Atlanta, October 4, 1879. THESENATE met at 9 a. m. The Presiaent in the chair. Prayer by Bev. Dr. Duncan. The roil was called and the journal read and approved. - THE HIGH COUET OT IMPEACHMENT wsb called to order by the Chief Jastice. The minntes were read. The matter before the oonrt was the order proposed by Senator Camming, and at tbe hour of adjournment Senator Holcombe had tbe floor. senator Holoombe resumed his argu ment by reading the sections of the new constitution relative to tho duties and offioe of the Treasurer. Also a esse from the 30th Ga., page 381; that the House had been acouBed of being fanattos, and the managers attacked as being young, and that these circumstances would en danger the defendant from persecution— persecution before forty-four intelligent men, who believes it. The Senator then prooeeded to show the absurdity of the position that money in bank subjeot to oheck is not money in hand. Senator McDaniel said the question was, shall we be consistent or not ? That it is claimed that Benfroe has made a good Treasurer, that he has rais ed the credit of the State, it ia not ne cessary for him to go beyond the record to show how inoorrect this is. The Sen ator then, in a clear and intelligent man ner, proceoeed to give a oonoise history of the financial experience of Georgia; how at one time the State was at the mercy of Wall street; how the bankers threatened ns, and how tho State recov ered from the terrible trials of that dark time by the patriotism of the people. Benfroe does not deserve this credit. I will not disease the question of de manding illegal fees or receiving them when the; were offered. The case is the same. What law gave B&nfroe the right to demand or receive $274 from the Northeastern Bailroad for eigning bonds. The law forbids it directly. The speaker then Bhowed moat clearly the duty of the Treasurer, relative to the depositing ot the pnblio money. Once the taking of money to do an oflleialast, was oalled a bribe, and when John W. Benfroe approaohed a bank for the pur pose of getting money on deposits he was guilty of & bribe. They say that he shonld go free, because perhaps, this case may not stand in the Snperior Court of Falton county. What was this Conrt created for ? For tbe preservation ot th pnblio honor. The oonstitntion creates this oonrt and the constitution gives it power. He then showed bow, and wherein, consisted tbe violation of the law in refer- enoe to the deposits in bank. Fending the conclusion of Mr. UoDan- iel’e speech, the conrt adjourned till next Monday at ten a. m. Tho impression thoughout ihe city seems to be that Benfroe will esoape the sentence ot the Court by the two-thhds rule. That a majority of the Senate Atlanta, October 4.

Mr. Shannon offered an amondmen to the seventh section, whioh provides that punishment shall in no case amount to cruelty. Mr. Smith of Oglethorpe, offered to strike out a provision in the tenth sec tion, which forbids any leasee from hold ing any offioe in tne State. Agreed to. On the psesBge of the bill the yeas were 75 and tne nays 46, so it failed of a constitutional majority, and was thns lost the seoond lime. A message from the Governor an noQuocd that he bad approved and signed the following aots: To amend an aot creating oonnty com' misaioners ot Crawford oonnty.
