The Committee of Conference recom mended that the Senate recede from its amendment to the immigration bill. The Senate reported that they bad agreed to the report of the majority of the Conforcnoe Committee. A large cumber of humorous resolu tions were offered and adopted. The Journal was then read, and Speak er Bacon addressed the House as follow*; Gentlemen of the Routt of Representa tive!: The moment baa arrived when there devolve* upon me tbe last official act which I shill perform for this House, in pronouncing its final adjournment. This has undoubtedly been a most extra ordinary eossion. Ic has been extraordi nary in the vast amount of labor this Lsglelaturo hes been sailed upon to per form, and in the anusual character of muoh of that labor. • It has been extraor dinary in the great responsibilities which have been laid upon it; and, I will add, still more extraordinary in the fearless ness and determination with which these responsibilities have been met and dealt witb. Ic has been a great labor to act npon more than fifteen hundred bills snd resolutions, npon the large majority of which atojo questions under a new and nnexpouudtd Constitution. It has been a stilt greater labor and a still more sol emn responsibility to undertake and en force a thorough reform and purification of the oivil service in all the departments of tbe government, to vindioate and com- mend fidelity in office, and to expose and condemn tbe abuse of public trusts, and the violations of official duty. To tbe fall measure of this high dnty has this house risen. In its performance.it has shirked no labor, it has shrank from no responsibility, it has been deterred by no personal sacrifios-wilb no personal an- imouty, but with a devotion to the public good which rose above personal conside rations, it has struck at official corrupt ion and mal'eassnoe as it would strike at a public qnemy. It haB acted npon the broad propoiitions s I. That all cfficeis are trustees for tho public, and that their offices must bo ad ministered in all respects for the pnb'io gcod, and not for their private emolu ment. _ That effioial integrity and official fidelity aro essential to the safety of the commonwealth, and must be inexorably demanded of those invested with the publio trusts. 8. That pnbllosoffioers, like priv e citi> men?, must know the law, Jand that a 'crapulous obedienco to ita commands will be expected of them. Upon these inviolable principles the members of this General Assembly have : ' a themselves, and thee-3 principles 'he? will maintain both here and else where. In the opinion of some these {treat principles may not have found at lion their fullest vindication; bat B good start has oertalnly been made; a Peat stride has been taken In the direo- of that perfect official reform whose Influence will not be limited to offioars at the capital, bnt will extend to the officers of every county and municipality in the State. The effort for this reform may re ceive a check or a reverse bere and there, bat tbo woids spoken and the measures taken here have met with a hearty re- sponse in the great popular heart which insures its ultimata and speedy eacoess. Ia this great work we lave been nobly sustained by the people and a greater portion of the press, and to their aotive support must be given due credit for the saooesafal inauguration of this important reform. And now after this long k and wearying session, we are about to return to onr constituents the power and authority with which they invested ns. As we do so.I desire to say one word about this General Assembly. I except myBelf so that I may speak fieely. It has been my for tune to serve with five successive Legis latures of this Stats. They have acoom pliahed a great work for tbe State, as Its present condition shows. I have known the members of the Senate and House of eaoh of tsose Legislatures well and inti' matelv, and without dapreoiatlng either of it predeoea-.ors, the least that I can say ia that this Legislature is in zeal, in fideli y, and ability tbe eqnal of any that Das gone before it within my experience. And as no former Legislature within that time has bad such solemn responsibilities laid upon it, so this one has had an op portunity for the dtepl»y of a fearless moral ciurago and an unflinobing devia tion to the public weal which was not af forded to any that wont before it. This Legislature nas been pre-eminently dis tinguished by a fearless and independent discharge of dnty. The members of this General Assembly are thrice worthy of tbe great commendations that have been heaped upon them by a generous con stituency, for their action marks a new era of political reform in the State. But, gentlemen, onr dmies hero have ended, and as tbe session closes there are other reflections which press upon us. Etch of ns Is elated witb tho proeptcE'cf the speedy return to his neglected bnai ness, and to tbe comforts and pleasures and endearments of home. Bnt while we turn to those wo love, we sunder aseocia tions and friendships formed in this hall the strength of which we will not realize until the moment has passed and tne ties are broken. Strange it may seem that beneath the stern and rough exterior of men, their hearts should b3at warmly and tenderly. Yet true it is, and 'tho beati ful Bible story of tho devotion of Jona than and David finds its unending illus tration in tbe love of moa for each other. Gentlemen, that which I most desire to say, yet remains unsaid, and is moa 1 difficult for me to express—in words far stronger than I have the power to com man —I would niter my appreciation and gratitude to the members of this house for their kindness to me. Your first act was to hoaor me—your last Das been to give me more pra’ss than I de serve, sod daring tbe long months o contention and debate I have only met with unvarying kindness from every member. To each ani every cue I am under a personal obligation, and in my recollection oi my association with this noose there lingers nothing pave that which it will always be a ’’ieasnre for mo to remember and cheri,<tr. Gentle men, from my heart, in all sincerity, re torn to ea.-h of you my mOBt earnest thanks t< r your favor and indulgence, wbicn have been tne beyond my deserts With each of you go my best wiebes for y >ur abundant prosperity and happi- best. The Speaker then solemnly pronounc ed tbe House adjourned tine die.

London, October 16.—A correspondent of the Times, at Oidhtim, says the reso lution adopted Saturday by the repre sentatives of forty limited companies of Oldoam to work on the short time sys tem for another month, haa surprised nobody, as trade hn not, so far as Old ham is conoerned, been much benc- fitttd by the experiment as yet. It is irne that the price of ectton has fallen in Liverpool, bat tbe price of yarn hes not hardened in Manchester, and has in fao; lost ground, and th9 advantage gained in Liverpool is thus almost balanoed. When a new crop arrives and the price of cotton falls to any extent, there will be a general ruBhfor full time operations and a revival of tbo old complaint con- corning over prodnolien. The position uf many of the limited companies is very grave indeed. A few have gone into liquidation because their loan capital has baen very hardly withdrawn. One of tbe largest concerns, with a nominal cap ital of .£150,000, which during thu last year paid *910.000 to limited loan holde-ts, ha* gone into liquidation to pre vent farther hezard.

Y., October 16 —It was discovered this morning that tbe door of the boat bouse in which Courtenay’s boats were kept had been forced open late last night by some unknown person, and both cf tbo boats sawn nearly in two, in such u manner as to utterly min them. The one made for the race was cat two thirds tbrongu, twelve feet tsn inches from the bow, snd tho worktng boat was out en tirely through, six feet four inches from the etern. Ic wdllake at least ten dsys to have another boat built. There is a general feeling of distrust as to the part Courtenay took in the mat ter, many believing that he or hie men are at the bottom of it. It is estimated that there aro ten thousand people here to witness tbe expected race. There is great excitement over tbe destruction of Uourtensy’s boat. Tao boat used by Frecchy Johnson in practice is too light for Courtenay’s use, so tbe postponement cf tbe race for a time, or more likely a permanent one is probable. Tho referee and officers in charge of affairs aro in con sultation, but no reporters are admit ted. Hautejbd, October 16.—The Gate City Guards, of Atlanta, Ga., arrived here this afternoon, and were received by tbo Putnam Pnalsnx, and greeted with sn ar tillery salute. A street parade was made.

But 1 leave thee now with a bounding heart, fori know to-day that my lov? loves me? from the com fields glowing with August bloom, from the tea’s soft b! ue, from the wind swept down, I go to my lonely London room, To the date and dint of the work-worn town. But a gay farewell to tbe golden fields. And a light adieu to the lauzhing real All lonxing to linger nagiesaadyielda To the thrill of tho thought that my love love i me. So I cheeri'y turn to my work again, Lirarui-sin ita daily round once more; But th j stress of thought and the sweat ol brain Have lost the hardness that erst they wore. for with strange now glory the world ii bright, That never before was on land or see, And all things move in a mist of light, for joy that I know that my loves me. I know by tho touch cf her tell-ta!ehand, I read In the rote-blush bloom of her cheek Tho loro that a lover can nnderttand. The wordless language that hearts can speak. Tct 1 hunger to hrar it in accents low. And looa and long for the day to be— The golden day when I sure shall know from her own true lip* that my lore loves me H C S in London Society, Animal Fermentation. BT J. P. STXVEIS, Sf. D. The spontaneous generation of living mat ter has been thesnbject of warm discussion among scientists for many years. H. Chari- toa BasUan, of Loudon, with comparatively few associates, have advocated the affirma tive of this proposition, while Tyndal, Hux ley, tenizenberger, Pasteur, Ballinger, Stim- eon and others, havo satisfactorily demon strated tho negative. The truia tn that life is antecedent to life, is recognized by a large majority of tho sclontifio workers of the present day. Now, what is the true nature of the basis npon uhtoh rest the investigations of tbe lihguits in ibis important discussion? Tno cbiractirioiio habits and fnoctione of oortain animaoules and their gormj, invisible to th* natnr.l eye, but plainly discernible through the microscope, which are abun dantly found in tho atm.-sphere. These auimaculese are comprised under the general term Bacteria, winch .includes many varieties and subdivisions of this olasa. In a popular piper as this ia intonded to be, I do not consider it appropriate to enter into a mutate meoription of the different anima- cn'.es included under the general term bac teria, bnt will merely notice som • of their distinctive forms and motions. First, wa find the mycroztnm. round or oval, which multiply by spontaneous ecission or separa tion into different parts, each a living nnit. Thou stiff jointed, rod like bodies, called rod-bacteria, which movo with oicillatoiy ru.viun; and baeter.a termo, which aro tli3 agents of putrefaction. The term vibrio is applied to those which ''move rap'dly across the Said or the microtoope with an undnla- tory, sinuous motion.” Occasionally we find tho baciena tpirillis, resembling a cork sarf.w, having a “wavy, serpent-like mo* tion,” rotating rapidly oa ita living axis. Billroth demonstrated the nature and impor tance of certain glistening epherioa! bodies called Draersporen, double spores, which burst their -nvelopes and form one epeciea of biotoria called alieroeooiue. It is record ed that in 1CS1, Lsawenhock, a Dutchman, gave the first description of bictaria, bnt on aoconn: of the imperfection of the microsco pical instruments of his day, bis observa tions were rather vague and’acsatisfiOiory. Ha says that ho found lha largest number of bacteria between the nnosrcd for broken teeth of an ohimsn. “Ho supposed these ur-rteria to be animals, and, indeed, gave tho name eels to some larger ones ho found in Tiuegar, whoso motions wero so active, I he had to k-11 one bofo.o th i limner could- words on earth, portray it.” In 182*, Ehrenberg gave the most accurate and ra table description of these creatures at that time, bat in 1872 Ferd Cohn made tbo latest and most com plete cTfesuicarion of than. With these preliminary explanatory re marks regarding the nature of these animacuiitea we will briefly consider their agency, in the putrefaction of flash and in tne prodn -tion of dneare. I wilt first re mark with r*ierenoe to tho tenacity to life cf biciona, that a temperatnra below zero temporarily piraijzis them, from which they soon recover, on being subjected to a warm er temperature of • 0 .o 45 degrees above z > ro; aadat impcratare from 140 to 212 de grees, according to the length of time they era then exposed, destroys them. The epores that produce them, however, avu almost iudectzuctible by extremes of temperature, as they will indnro with impnn- ily to degress or more of old below, and 3u0 degre.-a abora zero. Contact wifca cer* tain med cinal substances, and ozone, will speedily annihilate them. It ia believed that iu the blood even cf healthy animals they are always present to a greater or less degree, but ihit th’e motion of the o’reulating cur rent prevents any injurious effect upon the system. Btunson says “It is prooable that their role, so far as disease is concerned, is as follows: while they have no power in themselves to exc'.te disease, diphtheria vaccci mis, eepticauia, typhoid f *ver, eto, they are able to absorb tho poiton (ferment?! wh ch is capable of producing it, to “fix” it as it is termed, a> d to give it up to aDy tissue with which they may come into contact, acting time a; ouriers of conta gion ; then after the abnormal process h»s been commenced in the body, a change is brought in the tisanes which ren ders them Bailable for the rapid multiplica tion and growtn of the bacteria, which, in tarn, augment the change in the tistnes, and thus is formrd a vicious circle, the conse quences of which are too often fatal Any agent which destroys the life of tho bioteria or prevents their multiplication, breaks this oiicle, and renders a core posable.” Row. let us observe the ohanges that are absolved in a piece of “flesh, fish or fowl” when exposed to tho air in moist, warm weather.* Exp iso a piece of beefsteak to the air, and in from twenty-fenr to thirty-eix hours it soon stinks and becomes putrid, and fit only for tbo minute pile. If cotpio- teoted ty some external covering the com- mo i “blow fly" soon depoeils its oggs, and a eion of bacteria npon his wares by envelop ing them in ioo, and thus benumbing these agents of dsatruolion. The economic!! housewife cot nufreqn rally parboi’s or par tially bakes her pan try or leg of motion, thus kitbag tho existing bacteria and en abling her ti ksep for a longer time artlolea of cuifiuethat must have speedily passed into pntref: oiion. The ob erring and prudent dairymaid knows from experience the neosssity of tbe utmost cleanliness in the pr cesses of the dairy. Bhe is aware that by always soalding with boiling water and carefully drying he milk vessels immediately before and imme-« diately afteruring thjai, she can secure a belter article of milk and prolong itB sweet ness. and when this precaution is not served how eoon her milk and baiter pass into putridity. When the skillful surgeon is about to perform an operation involving the exposure to the air of the internal cavi ties of tbe body, he is careful to place bis in- etinmonts in a solution of carbolic aoid, and tbiowupon the expoeedparts acsrtain quan* titity of carbolic aoid spray, in order that he may kill any existing bacteria,- and thus se cure a rapid snd almost painless process of berimg of tbe wound made by the knife. The presence of air and moistnre, as well as an elevated temperature, are neoessary to tbe development of baoteria, . hence the dealer in dried meats first enbjeots his fresh meats to a process of destination, usually by smoking until most of the moisture is ex pelled, when ihey will resist the process of putrefaction often for years. The use of ealt snd saltpetre is beneficial as a prepara tory application to the meat by ccntracting its tissues, thereby expelling its moisture and hastening its dessieation. An exchange says: Thera are more puns made cn Dr. Ball’s Cough Syrup free of charge, than are paid for by the owners. A good thing deserves the no tice of tbegpreSB. The FaUt mazed. Bostra Berald.J Major Burney, of Georgia, who has been aoiag a good deal of work here as an apostle of peace and fraternal feeling between the sections, has retnrned to his home in tho pleasant city of Albany, in southwestern Georgia. Major Burney came bere, welcomed by a friendly letter from Governor Talbet, Llent.-Gov.

In a quiet and modest way Major Harney addressed himself to his work—lhat of promoting a knowledge of the agricuit -rtl resources of his State. His lecture on Georgia’s reeonroes was delivered, not to tbe wealthy class, bat to tbo bone and sinew of onr population.

Sterling Pbios’s Last Words.— The only persons ^-resent when Gen. Price expired ware Mrs. Stoddard and Col John P. Bali. The latter, near the close of the wsr, belonged to tbe personal staff of Gen. Price, and during his illness had been a regular attendant at his bedeide. Calling Mrs. Stoddard and Col. Bull to. approach the bed,he took a hand of eaoh, nerved himsolf for the effort and broke the awful stillLess by repeating in a calm, distinct tono the lines: ‘Teach me to feel another’s woe. To hide the faults I tea; Tost mercy I to others show, lha-. mercy show tome.” Wilb these words failing from his lips, ho sank to re3t in tho arm of the great; Captain of Hosts.

Mr. Tilden.—Tne New York Times, which of late has beoome to be the mouth piece of Mr. Tilden, declares that he is preparing a letter declining to be »jain a candidate for the Presidency. Good at Figures.—The Ohio Radicals proved thenmelves muoh better at fig ures over that State election than the Democrats. But that is not wonderful. They are mors accustomed o figures. Tnoy have a greater demand for them. It is a long time since the Democrats had oocasion to figure np their innings, and the science of numbers comes slow to them. CONSUMPTION CURED. An old physician, retire I from practice, her* ns had placed in his hands by an Kast India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speed v and permanent core for Consumption, Bronchitas,Catarrh.

It has been before remarked that the sir is charged w>th the germs ot infinitesimal, invisible aoimacnlea at all times, ready to commence their predatory incursions upon all dead organic subslanaes. Subject a piece of putrid flesn to microscopical observation, and yon aee it ewarmiog with living den tures, wriggling and dancing in icfinitesimal numbers uo you say thu this change is wrought by obemical action? Tyndall refutes your hypothesis by the following ingenious experiment. He made a little chamber with doors and wlndow-shntterd, so as entirely to exoludo tne external air. It Is assumed that the air is at all times filled with floating 'mote?, as almost every one has noticed them when a stream of light is permitted to pass through an sperm.u id a darkened room. Tin motes are seen flying about the coll. Now, throngh one ol tbe ehu-ters in the dark ened chamber above mentioned a hole is perforated, through which a stream of light is projected and made visiblo by the floating motes ia the inclosed air. The fljor and eides of ihe chamber aro covered with gly cerine or some adhesive Arid, and the air being perfectly still, the motes gravitate to the bottom or fl >or of the chamber, and take along with them tbe floating ammacolae germs, which are caught and retained by the giyoerine. After awhile the (rack of light becomes fainter and fainter, until it finally entirely disappears. All the motes have descended to tne bottom and sides of the chamber, ihe light can no longer be visible, end its disap pearance indicates that the oontained air has been purged and beoome absolutely pare. Now, admit into the chamber tbe moist, cenantrated and oorrapb.b'.o eolntioo of fish, fowl, flesh or vegetable, and it will remain perfectly swset for days, months or years. Observe that tbo chemical constitution of tho air within the clumber is precisely similar to that cut-id? of it, the same elementary com binations of four-fifths nitrogen, and one- nfth oxygon. The only difference is that one has bleu purged of it* noxious freight, and the other m still corrupted theroaitb. To prove this, after one or more weeks or months open one of the doors of tbo little oaambar so as to admit the external air, and in three days ibe enoloeed fl»h, fish, fowler vegetable wul be changed into a mass of pu trefaction and rotieoneas.

After being called to order by the President, the statement oi business for the past six months was submitted by the Audi tor. Ftom this gentleman we have been enabled to give to tho public the follow ing comparative statement: For the six months ending September 1st, 1878, the cross earnings of the road were |330,- 000, ned expenses $230,000, leaving net earnings at $50,000. For the six months eudiog S.pt. 1st, 1879, the gross earnings have been $366,000; expenses, $304,000; leaving the not earnings at $62,000. From this it will be seen that tho increase in gross earnings haa been $36,000, tbe increase in expenses $24,000, making the increase in net earnings $12,000. The ht-jvy erpeusco of the road have been oreated by payments for steel rails, the grain elevator, a new stock of cross ties, and other extra matters, making about JlOO.OCfO, expended from the earnings of tba dttU-snmmer searou. Last year iheee extra expanses wero paid for during the heavy winter months, but Gen. Alexander thought beat to meet them at once this r ear, and clear them away immediately.

Massachusetts feels nettled at Hamil ton Fish’s remark that the State haa never produced a greater man than Oa teb Cashing; and people are beginning to rake up a little rottenness from Caleb’s record that oertainly would smell as sweet under any other name. The Boston Herald smiles over the names of settlements in Louisiana. Car rion Crow, Barebones, New Hell Town and Apple Pie Ridge are in truth a little ridiculous, and tho idea of being addressed as “the gentleman from Carrion Crow” a little repulsive.

Roberta’ entry into Cabal took plaoe at noon yesterday. He was aooompsnied by the Amoer and his suite. British troops of all arms'lined the road, and the artillery fired a saints when the British standard was hoisted at the entrance to ths oity. The Sixty seventh regiment and the Fifth Goorkhas subsequently oeoupied the Bal-a-Hissar. Most of the influential men of the oity ceme to pay their reapeots to General Roberta. Tbo Dxily Standard publishes a special dispatch, dated on tho 10lb icst., from the British oamp before Ca bal, which says: “When the cavalry re turned from pursuing (he enemy on the evening of the 9.h inst, they rode throngh Cabal. Some ' of the ehop3 in the b zaar were open, people were sitting about, and it wbb quiet.” A special dis patch from Allahabad to the Daily Newt sayd: “No quarter was given to any one fonnd firing upon the British, and the prisoners taken in the fight were shot The leaders of the mutineers aro the Ameer’s most trust ed friends.” That Wild Laud iniquity. We have been shown the foliowing dispatoh from Atlanta: The Supreme Court deoided to-day that sales under wild land fi. fas ere void, that is transferred fi. fas* The Court sustain ed Judge Hood’s decision from Terrell. * To show that frauds, great without parallel, have beau practiced upon tbe innocent and unsuspecting holders of these wild lands, we have only to oils the Report of tho Comptroller Genoral for 1876. That year tho return for taxa tion of improved snd wild lands in the whole State, foo'ed np 35,770.786 seres, of whioh 7,033,447 acres were given in as wild lands. Bat now let us examine, and wo will eee by consulting the reoords of the State in lS39,the report of the Surveyor Gener- .1 of Georgia made to a special commis sion of the General Assembly, composed of the brightest intellects of the State, to- wit: Hon. John McPherson Berrien,Hon. Absalom H. Obappsll and Hoa. W. W, Holt, gave in all tbe land of the Com monwealth at 35.515,526 aores. Compar ing these, carefully prepared statistics with tho report of the late Comptroller General, we find that the people have actually paid taxes presumably npon 255.469 acres more than is embraced within the limits of the State, Now it should be borne in mind that all this pother relates to wild land only. But in the name of common sense, afte tbe State has returned aooording to tho Comptroller General’s own figures, a quar ter of a million more aores than really can bs located within her bounds, whero did these fi, fas. for nnreturned wild lands ocrae from? Yet we fiad by the pub- fished advertisements of the sales of wild lands now lying before us, that twenty thousand lots of unretnrned wild laud have been plaoed npon the block These vary in size from 40 to 490 acres- Assuming ths low aver age of 250 aores for each, and ■J/o have ths frightful area of FIVE MILLIONS OF ACRES of wild land than have been actually ad vertised for ails, partitioned up and div ided. Heaven knows between whom. Thousands of acres, whose owners had paid their tax?s, were sold under ihe.se fi. fsB., and the egregious blunders of officials and the unmitigated rascaihy of speculators tx-ieed any fraud ever oc- carr-ng in the annals of the State. We agree folly with onr contemporary, the Constitution, that all these villainies should be brought to light, and their per petrators made to disgorge their ill-got ten gains and surrender the property they havo virtually stolen. It will not do to pause with the mere displacement from office of the late Comptroller-General. The men who did the dirty work sh>-tild be ferretted out and brought to condign punishment.

There is gen- rally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. *A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after aeath, has shown the liver to have been exten sively deranged. * AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No belter cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would •advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are un equaled. BEWAHE OF IMITATIONS.
