An InroaTAST Deration.—A decision of con siderable importance to all persona who have purchased real estate in the South under tbe sale of tha asms by tbe Federal Government for taxes waa deeided in tbe Supreme Court of tbe United States to-day, on an appeal from a claimant, whose land had been sold by the Federal tax oommisajonera under the sot of 18C2. A deed waa given by two of (be three commissioners who wore authorized to aelL Two questions were involved—the validity of the law and the validity of the deed. The court sustained both, and held, aa the sale waa made by a publio act, it waa entirely competent for two of the three oommlaaioners to convey a title. The virtnal effect of this doelaion la to give all the present owners of those lands a fee simple in the acme. A good deal of property is held in Virginia and South Carolina under these tax titles. Took Tnx Fsmi'X.—We are gatiflej to learn that onr young townsman Captain T. G. Ilolt, Jr., President of the Bibb County Agricultural Society, took the premium of $400 offered by the Savannah Chamber of Commerce at the re- oent Fair in that city, for tbe beet fire bale* of upland cotton, and also the premium of $2.1 offered by the Feir Association. It will be re membered that Captain Holt took the premium of fr-Oofferod by tbe State Agricultural Society for the best five bales of upland cotton, and also an additional premium of $10 for tbe beat tingle bale of upland cotton. Bibb county oomes to tbe front right gallantly, and tbe Pi ident of ite Agricultural Society is one of tbe moet intelligent and progressiva of all tbe young leaders who arc destined to illustrate Georgia hereafter, on tbe field of practical, paying Agri culture. _ Total Mostalitt mow Yallow Favzb at Ciaiubros.—The Charleston papers publish a table showing tbe total number of deaths from yellow feTer in that elty this year, aa oompared with tbe mortality in tbe yean l8.1t, 18.10 and 1888. In 18,11 there were CM deaths from tbe weok ending August .1, to that ending Novem ber 2.1. In 18.16, 200 deaths from week ending August .1. to that ending November 18. In 1888, 680 deatba from week ending August .1, to that ending November II, and in 1871 212 deaths from week ending August .1, to that end ing November 18—then being eight deaths this year during tbe last named week, against three in 1884, one In 1886 and none in 1888.

Habersham. A Visit to the No it l Is Carolina Phoa* l<bate Ml nos—Wando Fertilizer. Tho writer has recently examined these ex traordinary petrifsetions of animal bones and deposits, and was greatly impressed with their magnitude, and the exeeeding value of the dis- oovery. These pbosphatio beds underly, in a greater or lese degree, an area of about thirty square miles, in what is known as the Charleston basin, formed by the Cooper and Ashley riven or es tuaries. A guest of Mr. Thomas D. DoUerer, the gen tlemanly and enterprising superintendent of the Wando Company, we rode out with him one day tbe present week, over a smooth and beauti ful road, pari* planked and part oomposed of pounded shells, to the works of the company, located on the banks of Ashley River, nine from Charleston. Before retching onr destination, we passed in full view of tbe Pacific Factory, three miles from the city, then of the Etiwan works, one mile farther, then of the At lantic, a half mile more distant, and lastly those tha Btono Association, five miles from Charleston. All these are in suoeeasfnl opera tion, and soma idea may be formed of tbe de mand and consumption of the phosphate, when it is stated that forty ships carrying 1000 tons each, have loaded fax Europe with the erode mate rial during the past yeer,while fully as many car goes have been shipped coastwise to other This ia exclusive of tbe immense amount which has been ground and treated for agricultural purposes, at the several manufac tories. Arrived at the Ashley river, we found the Waado Works picturesquely located near the batiks of the stream, in eloae contiguity to a magnifioent grove of moas-covered live oaks. They are very extensive, embracing bnge bond ings for the washing, drying, crushing, grind ing, mixing, and sacking of the fertilizer,besides a vast and unique establishment used in the manufacture of sulphurio acid, one hundred and fifty carboys of whieb, each containing eleven gallons, era distilled or prepared every day. Tha eapaciona tanka of lead, oountleaa tubes and retorts, and Ingenious scientific oontri vsnees need in the preparation of this article, are al most bewildering to the uninitiated. As a single item, showing the magnitude of tbe operations, wo saw in one chamber not less than 8,000 bushel* of crude sulphur imported by the cargo from tha Island of Sicily. We will not pause at present, however, to describe the modus oper ands of the works, but go direct to the mines. The company are now exhuming tbe phos phate about one mile from the river, in a flat region of oonntry interspersed with a growth of oak, gum, cedar, pine and myrtle. They have, at heavy expense, constructed a railroad with iron rails, and equipped with a diminutive looo- raotivo and can resembling ooal boxes, which transports the petrified bones and fossils to the washing bonse, situated upon the river bank. In brief, the mode of procedure is as follows: First, the ground ts sounded with an iron rod to detect the veins of phosphate, then a narrow ditch is cat about four feet in depth of the de sired length, to indicate with certainty tbe depth and richness of the deposits. Once ascertained that the mining will pay, and the work begins in earnest. Straight excavations are made six feet wide, and varying from two to four in depth, reaching to the npper surface of tbe de posit, and after tho earth has been osrefnlly re moved snd thrown on one side of the ditch, the phosphates are dug out with picks snd placed on the other. Tho veins differ in thickness from six inches to three feet. The bones lie in confused masses, showing the teeth, vertebrae, ribs, jaw bones, snd other portions sliko of animal and marine monsters. Wo saw thrown ont from the tame pit huge sharks’ teeth and sections of the ver tebra of some immense land animal, either an elephant or mastodon, probably, whioh we pre served and can exhibit. These specimens, in some instances bnt partially petrified, are com. parativcly soft, showing the grain and fibre of the bone. In others they are hard as flint, though perfectly delineated. Carte reoeive and transfer to the cars the erode deposits of every possible shape, and from one to ten pounds in weight, covered with mad, which are then trans ported to the washing house, and cleansed in s long iron box with a revolving screw eet hori zontally, into whioh a stream of salt water is injected by powerful forcing pumps, the whole propelled by steam. The phosphate ia then stacked in vast kilns snd subjected to powerful heat to expel all moisture and prepare it for the mill. These deposits crop ont from tbe river banks, snd can be seen at low tide scattered along tbe beach. They appoar to be almost inexhaustible, and are daily growing in reputa tion abroad. Tbe corpolitec are small blaok petrifactions, evidently tbe excrements of ani mals, and oontain 90 per oent. of pure phos phate—they are found mixed up universally with the other deposits. After a minUte inspection of the works, we returned to the oity deeply impressed with this wise provision of a beneficent providenoe to save from ntter destruction an afflioted and rained people. The Wando Company have another factory in full operation at No. 1, South Atlantie Wharf, where the phosphate after being washed at the mines, is treated in every stage. We had the pleasure of noting the entire pro as, and will describe it briefly: First, the dried material is lifted by steam elevators from the kiln to the second story of a lofty building, where it is broken into small fragments by the aetion of a powerful crusher. The product is sgain elevated snd poured into the hopper of a mill in a second npper apart ment, and .literally reduoed to bone dost or powder as fine ai flour. Stil another elevator reoeive* the ground phosphate, and lifts it above as before, when it is discharged into the mixing tank, a square metalie box about eight feet in diameter and three feet deep, in which a machine resembling a day mixer for brick, is mode to revolve with great rapidity. Into this reservoir, the sulphurio acid, in the proportion of one-half acid to tbe like quantity of phos phate, and the proper amount of ammonia and potash, are poured—the mass under the effects of the said beooming intecsely hot. When suffi ciently stirred snd thoroughly incorporated, the oom pound esoopes through a tube dosed by s ping, in tbe contre of the tank, and is oondnet- ed below, shovelled aside, and left to “set” for about ten days. It is then an impaoted mass from the action of the acid, and after being tolled and again reduoed to powder is ready to be weighed and bagged for the market. The above is a very succinct account of these extensive works, as our limits will not allow of a more extended notice. Our readers will find in another column tbe advertisement of Messrs. W. C. Dukes & Co., the proprietors of the Wando Fertilizer. Tbe writer can testify from personal use, and the evidence of our best planters, to the exceeding utility of the preparation. Farely free from all adulteration, it deservedly takes rank with the beat and most certain of all crop stimulants. Send in your orders before the supply ia ex hausted. News Items.

Tax Chattanooga Ixcsxiua&t —Jake Smith, the negro who set fire to Chattanooga, has been tried and sentenced to twelve yean in the Peni tentiary. The proof against him was so distinct ss to leave no room for any other inference, probability, or conjecture than that Jake was one of tbe guilty incendiaries. Shall Pox.—The Nashville Union and Amorican of the 30th nit, says small pox is raging in Cincinnati to an alarming extent, and it has reason to think is prevailing at some paints not very remote from Nashville. That paper recommends increased ears in vaoeina- tion, and it would not be amita to ua the same care everywhere. Matos Hall was non eet intentut about the same time on Wednesday, and was supposed to be dodging the officers of the lew in order to be footloose on Thanksgiving day. He will be required to find bail in two millions. An order wuiasaed from the Supreme Court in Albany on Wednesday, enjoining Tawed from alienating property, and requiring him to show cause why ho should not be absolutely enjoined. Frrz Frrr ask a Halt of rain ia eleven mon^ia of 1871—that ia an enormous rainfall and give* stronger assurance of short and in ferior cotton crops than all the figuring of dealers and speculators. Cotton abhors a soil saturated with water, and the great cotton re gion east of the Mississippi has been in that condition during the most critical periods of the last crop. Tbs Srasrasna IUjxpant.—Foreign telegrams report that the Spanish Government has deter mined upon shipping thirty thousand more troops to Cobs, to put down the insurrection, and perhaps put on a grim front to Fish, Grant and Robeson’s iron pots. Tbe Northern papers represent Fish as flipping about in a very threatening manner over ihe atrocious massacre by the Spanish Government of those unlucky boys who insulted Goozalo CasUnon's grave. A TzaxiuLZ Know Sroax.—Dispatches from Utah report snow six feet deep on s level, with drifts from twenty to one handled feet deep. Previous dispatches to the twenty-seventh ulti mo, say that the sterm bad raged for eight days, during which they had not seen the sun. The wind was high enough to prostrate great forest trees, and several persons had been lost in the drifts. That ia an elegant country for railroad ing purposes—calculated to make people hardy snd industrious. A ScBScnimos Candidate.t-The Washing ton correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says a paper is in circulation requesting Horace Greeley to become a candidate for President, snd what is more, the paper is signed by such prominent names aa Wm. 1L Evans, Charles O’Connor, Horatio Say moor, Senator Thurman, snd bean also the signatures of numerous and in fluential Republicans in all the Northern States. If Horace can secure about 3,800,000 signatures to the petition he might run with safety. Tux Hon. Blostzs Fodobtt.—The Washing ton correspondent of the Cincinnati! Gazette says, November 27th: Foster Blodgett, who has recently been indicted at Atlanta, Ga., for mal- appropriation of railroad bonds, in conjunction with Governor Bullock, has arrived in this city. He proposes to continue the contest he inaug urated last winter for a seat in the Senate, but the Judiciary Committee are prepared to report adversely on his esse as soon as Congress meets. Blodgett has the impudence of Old Nick. The South Cabolina Kc-klux—A South Carolina correspondent of the Nashville Union admits the existence of so-esllod Ka-klux or- gsnizitions bat maintains the ntter impossibility of getting along without them. He says every village snd cross roads was provided with stores where the farmer’s cotton snd corn stolen from his field by moonlight or concealed by the piok- era, was traded for whisky, snd there wis no redress by law for this or any other wrong. Ne gro jurors were a fatal bar to conviction, and in oase of oonviction a pardon from Scott was at hand by due course of mail. “The cotton crop ia always underestimated,” so say dealers; but Commodore Maury, in a late paper read before the Rockbridge Agricultural and Mechanical Society, says that from 1823 to 1800, the average over-estimate was 21J per cent He estimates the actual loss of planters snd gains of speculators on crops since the war, thus : Our total cotton production since the war is in round numbers 1C,000,000 of bales; and the fluctuations in prioe are owing chiefly to the lack of oorrect information as to yield. Supposing planters to have sold on the average only half tha crop of each year at the lowest figures—then aooording to this way of patting the question they have lost on the crop of 1865, $96 000,000; on the crop of 1866, $44,000,000; 1867, $67.- 000,000; 1868, $30,000,000; 1869, $68,000,000; snd on the crop of 1870, $70,000,000; total, $372,000,000, or an average of $62,500,000. An Honest Ofticial Speculator.—Let us oongraulate Grant’s administration on the fact that it has one honest, outspoken specula tor on the official list. That man is General Sehenck, United States Minister to the Court of St. James, who has been using his office as a traveling agency for the sale of a silver mine, and being arraigned for the same, his friends in Washington, through a dispatch to the New Y’ork Evening Post, a prominent Republican paper, put forth this defenoe: Washington, November 27.—Mr. Schenck’s personal friends are defiant. One of tho most prominent of them openly declares that if any inquiry is sent to bim on the subject of his connection with the Emma Mine he will answer that it is none of tbe business of the govern ment Members of the same clique say that Gen. Schenck only acoepted office for a short time, to pay his expenses to and in London, while he should negotiate tho sale of this mine, and in order that the position of Ambassador might aid bim in selling it; that when the gov ernment inquires sbont it, he will resign at onoe, pocket its profits, and retnrn, to speculate in something else. South Carolina.—Scott's gang of negroes, called a General Assembly, met in Colombia last Tuesday. In his message he states the whole pnblic debt to be $11,994,908, whioh he knows from severe personal scrutiny to bo correct, nothing being suppressed. He argues that the depreciation of the State credit is due to persis tent threats of repudiation, made by individuals and the presa for political purposes, without which the debt would not now exceed $10,000,- 000. He is oonfident that the State will pay all her obligations to the last cent Ho recommends that the Legislature prohibit the borrowing of money or contracting a debt to meet the current expenses. He condemns extra sessions of the Legisla ture, without which the attacks of the opposition oonld not bs so successful. He urges the Leg islature to make the session short and econom ical, and recommends that fixed salaries instead of a per diem be given to members of the Leg islature ; that nnmerons offices be abolished; that the salaries of all officials exoept Judges be reduoed one-third; that the tax on real estate be lessened; that a license svstem be adopted, and riee, cotton and railroad tonrage be taxed; that the bonds of the 8tate be taken at par in payment for land bought at tax sales, on the ti tle being warranted by the State: that public lands to thovalue of $100,000 be sold, and State bonds be taken in payment. He reviews at leDgth the cansen which led him to ask a suspension of the habea* eorpue under the Ku-klnx law. He claims that concil iation proved useless, and oourts would not set; that the whites mistook magnanimity for weak ness. He declined to call ont the militia, be cause it consisted of negroes, who would have been slanghterd snd the people led to believe that the conflict waa between the negroes and whites, instead of between the friends of the government and its enemies. The Trouble with Spain—Matters Look Warlike—Active Naval Prepa rations. Under date of November 29th, the Baltimore Son’s Washington correspondent telegraphs ss follows -. Official advices received by the government yesterday and to day indicate that we are in volved in no inconsiderable difficulties with Spain, whose cfficiala in Cuba have for some time shown an ntter indifferenoe to the pro tection of the life snd property of American citizens. The Cuban volunteers there have maltreated Americans and driven them within a recent period ont of Havana. This govern rnent, aware of this, has repeatedly represented this condition of affairs to the authorities at Madrid, but without any other result than promises of early action, which were never fulfilled. Yesterday affairs became ao threaten ing at Havana that the United States Consul- general telegraphed that American citizens and offioiala needed the immediate protection cf this government The matter was brought to the attention of the Cabinet to-day, and an armed fleet of four or five vessels has been ordered with all possible dispatch to Havana, to be placed in immediate cemmnnication with the Consul-general. The commanding officer of the fleet has in structures, as is learned from an entirely trust worthy source, in cise the Cuban volunteers de stroy the life and property of American resi dents, to demand immediate apology and repa ration, and if they are refused, to fire the guns of the fleet on the eitv of Havana. The gunboat Nipsio, now at Fensaoola, will leave this even ing, while the Terror, there undergoing repairs has been ordered into commission, to be dis patched at ones to Havana also. The Kansas has been ordered from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the same destination with all possible dis patch, while the Severn and Nantasket are al ready on their way to Cuban waters} Admiral Lee, commanding the South Atlantic squadron, is now in Washington, bat was active to day, by orders of the government, in dispatching his ▼easels so ss to be ready for ary emergency. Owing to tbe rigid censorship over the telegraph at Havana bnt little is known bare of the im mediate events which have compelled the Con sul-General to appeal for assistance. But the condition of affaire with Spain arising ont of the Hornet difficulty aud tha treatment of Americans ia Cubs is sufficiently shown by tbe diplomatic correspondence to warrant the gov ernment in the startling measures it has taken. Comtxollx* Cojtwolltin Jail at Last—The late Comptroller of Public Accounts for the city and county of New York, under whose warrants same millions of fraudulent claims have been passed, gave up hunting bail on Wednesday night lost and went to jaiL One sceount mays; The oonduct of McGovern in withdrawing his name from the bond was especially pa ; nfol to tbe ex-Comparotler.

Connolly appeared much dep.-eh-od in spin a, and looked in fact a broken hearted man. General Assembly of Georgia. PROCEEDINGS OF THURSDAY. Reported for the Telegraph and Messenger.] House.—The House met at 3 p. m.—Speaker Smith in the chair. The journal was read and approved. Mr. Rawls moved to reconsider so much of the journal as relates to the adoption of a revo lution for tha appointment of a committee to adjust the claims against the penitentiary. The motion prevailed. The rules were suspended and the following Senate bills were read the third time: A bill to repeal the act of 1870, changing the time for the annual meeting of the Legislature. Passed. This will fix the time of meeting on the second Wednesday in January as provided in the Constitution. A bill to repeal the nanrv laws of this State snd to fix the rate of interest when no amount is specified at 7 per cent per annum. Mr. W. D. Anderson moved to indefinitely postpone the bill. Mr. Simmons, oi Gwinnett, favored the pas- ge of the bill as a measure generally desired by the people. He could see no reason in pre venting money from bringing as much in pro portion as other articles of value. Mr. Bosh favored the bill, and wanted all per ms to be made to stand np to their contracts, and argued that tho Legislature had just as well say that no person shall give no more than $25 for s mule, as to aay no man shall pay more than 7 per cent, for money. Mr. W. D. Anderson opposed the bill in an earnest speech, saying that money is always on hand when commodities are to be transported; that when articles of value are for sale money is a medium of exchange, and will be forth coming when the actual demands of trade aud commerce demand it. Mr. Bacon favored the passage of the bill and said that usury laws have been founded upon the erroneous idea that the government can reg ulate commerce and trade. The law as rt stands is a dead letter, for its violation is of daily oc currence. Now, if it were repealed it would tend to make money cheaper by bringing per sona other than sharpers and usurers in compe- tion as lenders. Mr. Cumming favored the bill and conld see no reason why 7 per oent. should have been fixed upon. Why not say 3 or ten, or why not say that money is worth what it will bring ? But as this law of 7 per cent has been of such long staeding, he waa willing to make a compromise and allow the rule to be fixed at 10 per cent, but he was really opposed to any restriction, believing that the idea of usury laws was founded in superstition. Mr. Jackson favored the passage of the bill urging many reasons therefor. A bill to amend an act to create a Board of Commissioners for Glynn county. Passed. A bill to incorporate the town of Franklin. the Steam Wagon A House bill to incorporate Company of Georgia. Bead first time. Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Clark, Cato, Booth, and Johnson of Jefferson. Pending the discussion of the bill to repeal the usury law, the House adjourned until 9 a. to-morrow. PROCEEDINGS OF FRIDAY.

Also a bill to fix the costs in tbe Superior Courts- of Randolph, Terrell and Clay, snd to prescribe the fees of officers in certain eases. Mr. Trammell—A bill for the relief of Thomas E. Lloyd. Mr. Hoyle—A bill to require the clerks of the Superior Courts of the Fataula Circuit to keep a receipt docket Mr. Hinton—A bill to make the employment misdemeanor. Mr. Wellborn, Chairman of the Commit! on the State of the Repnblie, to whom was r ferred a resolution looking to payment f emancipated slaves, reported the following: States was, from the beginning of the y< 1863 until the close of said war, carried on 1 the express parpose of emancipating the Slav and emancipation having been received a considered by all parties as a result of the w Therefore, resolved, That the Senate loc with disfavor upon the move emanating fr< the republican side of the chamber, having 1 its agitation. ground that the resoluti less, at least for good, the present junctnre jarions and impolitic. that matter.

A bill to create a County Court in each county in this State. On motion of Mr. Kibbee the bill was taken up by sections. Amendments were proposed, exempting vari ous counties from the operation of the bill. Mr. Reese opposed the amendment on the ground that the bill would be so enfeebled ss to become worthless by these exemptions. Mr. Nunnally thought that there ought to be some provision in tho bill which referred the question to the Grand Jury of eech county. Mr. Nichols moved to amend that no one shall be eligible to the office of Judge of said court who is not a licensed attorney. Mr. Barns {favored the bill cs reported, end thonght the suggestion to refer tbe question to the Grand Juries s good one. He considered the Court provided for by the bill the best that could be devised, and would save eve ry year thousands of dollars to the State. Mr. Brown insisted on Senators being al lowed to exempt their own counties if de-ired. The people he represented did not desire this Court snd he was not willing to leave the mat ter to the Grand Jury, whioh of ter^did not really represent pnblic sentiment. Mr. Simmons moved that when the Senate adjourn it shall adjourn until 3 o’clock. Car ried. Pending the disensfion of the bill the hour of adjournment having arrived, tbe Senate ad journed until 3 p. n House of Representattvis.—The House was > e heirs of. w a KcvJMP ' or a filst .0 called to order at 9 A. M., by S prayed for by the Chaplain. Journal read and approved. On motion of Mr. Price the rules were sus pended, snd a number of House bills were read the second time. On motion of Mr. Bush the roles were further suspended and the bill to incorporate the town Colquitt was taken up and passed with an amendment. A bill to appropriate $2,000 for the the late Col. 1L Sbeftall, of Savannah, tionary officer, in fall satisfaction for claim against tha State of Georgia, was read the first time. Also a hill to raise a revenue for flhe support of the Government for the year 1872. The unfinished business of yesterday, to-wit: The bill to repeal the usury laws was resumed. Mr. Soott said that the matter is one of great public interest and should be oarefully consid ered. Away back in the history of the past under the Mosaic law it was considered disre putable to charge any usuiy or interest, for the two words were identical in meaning then. Subsequently, however, the various civilized nations allowed and countenanced interest bnt were careful to limit it. This plan of allowing and limiting interest has been adopted and nsed in our own State for years past, and he is un willing to out loose from old and tried land marks. Mr. McMillan opposed the repeal of tbeusury law, remarking that interest, when not regulated by law, is regulated by the risk incurred by the lender. When propeity is plentiful and indi vidual credit is good the rates are low; but when large homestead provisions are of force and imprisonment for debt is contrary to law the risks to the lender are great, and high rates for the use of borrowed money are natural con sequences. Mr. Pon favored the passage of the bill, and could see no sense in telling a man who owns $10,000 that he shall not have more than $100 for it during a year, but allowing him to invest the same in brick and mortar and get $2,000 for its nse during the same time. The law as it stands is a dead letter, and ought not to stand. Mr. Richards called the previous question. C ill sustained. , On the motion to indefinitely postpone, the yeas and nays were called for, with the following result: yeas 81; nays 65. So the motion to postpone prevailed. A message from the Governor was received saying that the bill to abolish the City Court of Macon had been approved and signed. A resolution by Mr. Heldt tendering the thanks of this House to Rev. Dr. Wills for his eloquent sermon on yesterday. On motion of Mr. Long the resolution was amended tendering thanks to Rev. Dr. Spalding for his assistance on said occasion. Tbe reso lution as amended was adopted. RILLS ON THIRD READING. A bill to amend the law relating to the with drawal of claims. Passed. A bill to make it penal for employer or em ploye to break a contraot for labor or service was read tha third time. Mr. Pon favored the bill in an eloquent speech, urging that it operated equally upon all parties, and tended to make contracts more effectual and reliable. Mr. Griffin, of Houston, opposed the bill, urging that no legislation was necessary, and would be oppressive, and would retard immi gration. Mr. Johnson, of Clay, called the previous question. The motion was sustained. On the motion to indefinitely postpone the yeas and nays were called for with the follow ing resolt: Yeas, 88; nays, 55. So the bill was Indefinitely postponed. A bill to ehaDge the line between the counties of Douglass and Carroll was read the third time, Mr Heard presented a petition from a large number of citizens, and moved to disagree to the report cf the committoe which was adverse to the passage of the bill, nrging that tbe citi zens who do tire this change were cut off from Carroll county withont their consent. Mr. Goodman favored the report of the oom mittee, and said that a part of the persons af fected by the bill were formerly in Campbell county. He also presented a petition from over two hundred citizens of Donglass county asking that this bill may not pass. The motion to disagree with the report of the committee prevailed and the bill was passed. The bill to ohaoge the line between the coun ties of Welker end Dade was lost. A bill to ereate a Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenue for Floyd, Berrien, Effing ham, Schley, Sumter and Greene. Passed. Leave of absence waa granted to Messrs. Sto- vail and Snead.
