2 FELTON'S REFORMATORY. S3 MAKES A SENSATIONAL SPEECH IN THE HOUSE. Georgia Characterized as a Procuress for the Convict Camps Reformation as Well as Punishment the Aim of the Institution He Seeks to Have Established. Atlanta, Ga. , July 38. —1n the Senate to-day, a petition was read from the Col quitt Chominal (#>rnpany, of Atlanta against the Brody i#l, which insisted that, its passage would be disastrous to Georgia fertilizer factories, which last season mude 100,000 of the I*lo,ooo tons sold in tills {state. The Finaivo Committee report'd favora bly on the bill to regulate the business uf insurance in (ioorgia. It was niado the special order tomorrow. An executive communication notified the Senate of the election of Joel A. Smith to fill a vacancy. NEW BILLS. The following new bills were introduced: By Mr. Peek, of the Twenty-seventh- To incorporate the Georgia Methodist Histori cal Society. By Mr. Davidson, of the Eighteenth—To amend paragraph J, section 3, article <> of the constitution of Georgia so as to enable the General Assembly to'increase the num ber of Judges of the Supreme Court from three to live, to consist or one Chief Justice and four asnstaot Justices. By Mr. Smith, of the .Tenth —To amend section 608 of the Code in rofcrenco to Die mode of changing county sites so ns to pro vent un election occurring ofteuer than once in live years In tho Houso. The House to-day went into committee of the whole with Mi* Felton, of P.ibb county, til the chair on Dr. Felton’s bill to create and establish a reformatory prison or house of correction lor juveniles and all female convicts who may be convicted of crime? not punishable with death and w 110 may hereafter lie sentenced by the courts of Georgia to the penitentiary or chain-gang or to work on tho public works in a chain gang, to provide for the same and for other purposes. Mr. Felton held the floor till the committee rose. He said lie hail introduced tho bill in the in terest of a majority of the people of, Georgia. It was substantially the sum;* bill Which he introduced at the last session,-mid which then received forty-nine votes. He hoped it would now receive a majority. The biil was right and iust between plan and man, anil if he should be a legislator for twenty years he would offer it at every session until its passage, tie wanted a full and lair consid eration of the bill, and if it were notmccept able let it be made so. He had, through his Colleague, already offered two amendments, and he laid hoard other amendments offered Which he thought, would be acceptable to him. lie explained the niaiu object of the hill. He said l icit, outside of a tew of our Southern States, there was not a civilized nation in the world that, did not have an institution similar to that projxiseil by the bill. Lot us review our preconceived no tions and prejudices to-da v. THE LESSEES NOT INTERFERRED WITH. Tli ■ bill does not interfere with the present lease system or with the rights of the lessenf, nor does it interfere with any of the coil-' victs now in tho penitentiary. It applies only to those who may hereafter bo con victed and sentenced to the house of correc tion on the recommendation of the jury. Are you prepared to question the honor or the patriotism of the jury. If you do all you can to defeiqt this bill yott sot up your opinion as more reasonable uud just than that of the jury trying the case. The bill, while not in terfering with UlO rights of the lessees, made provision for the reception of any convicts of the cla-s to which tin* bill applies if they choose to surrender them, but as to future convicts the bill does not a k the con sent of tho lessees. The convicts iu tho House of Correction would not bo there as beneficiaries of the State or us exempt from punishment. They would go there ns con vict and criminals for a term. Murderers, rapists or house burners are not to he there. Tho bill merely changes the place and mode of punishment. Are we not sovereign? The bill only claims the sovereign power of the ytate to dispose of her criminals ns she thinks proper. Tho bill would send youths and women to the reformatory prison for correction, im provement and reform. NOT MAUDLIN BYMPATItV. The motive of tin* bill was not a maudlin sympathy for criminals. He was disgusted with such sympathy ns was sometimes, ex hibited in Northern and even some South trn cities. Reople who gush ovffr con- Semneil criminals of the worst type were unworthy the name of men, though near ing the garb of manhood. The iibject of the bill i not undue sympathy with the criminal, but the protection of society. He pathetically apjHiahsl t * tho house to pro tect the negroes as well as the white* til their rights ami homps, nud not to visit upon tiiom harsh or vindictive punish mint. He put a b.Vl>oUiotieal rase to illustrate the reformatory influeucJ?s and effects of institutions suoh as the bill 1 tro ll' >*•<el. The convicts sent to theip were not Only subjected to hard labor, but tliev were instructed morally and taught the advan tages of a bettor life. They go out with in dustrious habits and improved morals. The record* of institutions of this kind show that from 75 to DO tier cent, go out re formed and 1 lettered, lie referred to the cases in which a woman at. the Dade coal mines had been delivered of two children, and a girl had boeu sentenced to Lowe's camp for a long term for a trivial offense. THE STATE A PROCURESS. He had suiil on a former occasion that the State of Goorgia, by continuing the present system, was uetmg as a procuress for the lessees or their managers. He alluded to the startling disclosures lately made of tho nefarious acts of individual procuresses, and said that the Spite of Georgia was engaged in that business, and kept the supply up to the demand. He hud boen informed that the trusties at one of t he camps and the female convict* hud been in discriminately sexual. He had also been in formed that the convicts nt one of the ramps were sometimes worked lief ore day, and pn Bunday. Ho mentioned a pfeaiAu r who had long tried to get an opportunity to preach to tbe convicts at rlic brick yard tamp and bud never succeeded. He also re ferred to cases of convicts gambling for their rations. Youths confined at such places learned from burdened criminals their modes of committing crime, and went forth prepared to engage in the same kusi ness. He thought that crime in the United States increased faster than in any otlrnr country on God’s globe. Tho reason was that the Bible and the churches never ,■cached the criminal classes. A STRONG APPEAL. Let as us legislators initiate a measure that looks to tbe correction ol tbe criminal tendencies of the age—a reformatory school for women and children that looks to the bettering of their moral, mid lives. Ijcbt tioved that Georgia was •* free from crime s any BUite of the Union, but lie wanted this institntloji for the protection of the lives and property of her people. He said that female and juveinjo convicts hud better bo sent to tbe bottomless pit than to Lowe’s Dr Jumes’ camp. lie pleaded l or them to rescue them from such a fate. His friend from Dougherty would read a bill of fare which ho washed for the convict;?, but nevertheless Dr. West in ore laud's report showed there was suffering at the earn]* und cruel treatment, and a dis ease produced by the same causes ns pro ducod scurvy. It was the effect of narra tion und filth. God save Georgia from a prison system that, is multiplying crime and misery. Dr. Felton contended that tho appropriations mentioned in his bill would bo sufficient to carry out its objects, and that the institu tion would be self-supporting and have a surplus to pav the salaries of its managers. Ho feit assured of its success and claimed , that it wa - for the honor and humanity of Georgia. Tho loading idea in his bill was correction and prop -etion. 'Da- House Finance Committee reported the sinking fund and funding bills tele graphed U-st night. Mr. Wilson, of Mclntosh county, member of the Coinndtteo on Education, submitted a minority report on Mr. Glenn’s race co education bill. The hill to prohibit the sale of any ferti lizer or chemical, from manufacturing tho same when they do not contain the ingre dients named in such analysis in the quan tities therein named, tho first special order was, after some debate, recommitted. LOWE QN THE CONVICTS. He Defends tho Camp of Bondurant & Joplingf. Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—W. B. Lowe was before the Penitentiary Investigating Conunittoo this afternoon to explain tho Bondurant & Jopling camp business. He said he and Bondurant & Jopling had the contract for the wholo of the Augusta and Chattanooga road, and would make a groat deal of money out of it if tho company floated its bonds. They aro at. present paid $2,000 cash monthly, and carry the company for the balance. They aro working now eighty convicts, hut will increase the force. Ho docs not believe the sickness in the camp is duo to overwork and had diet, ns Dr. VVest juorcland reports, but from having brought the convicts up from n lower locality on the Eavannah rfver. He says the Governor's order will be carried out, bnt it will not in terfere with his contract with Bondurant, Jopling. He says Mr. Bondurant is a very clever and pious man and a member of Gen. Evans’church. Dr. Westmoreland was ex amined and went over more in detail tho matters in ljjs last report, already pub lished. He declares that the condition of tho camp is due to absolute violation of the rules. The Comptroller has been notified that George O. smith, of Tallapoosa, is acting as local agent and is issuing policies for tho Lincoln Fire Insurance Company, of Ne braska, and the Louisiana Fire Insurance Company, of New Orleans, which corn panics t-uve not deposited $25,000 with t*G Treasurer, paid tho license or taxes, nor complied with any of the insurance laws of tho. State, consequently they are noing business ille gally. TJje Comptroller has informed cer - tain of the policy holders that Mr. Smith is personally liable for the full amount of tlio policies. Mr. Smith has been called on to pay license foes and taxes, and the Solic itor General of the circuit has boon (ii rocted to present him to the grand jury, now yi .ses sion, for indictjmont.

Hodgdoa has sailed, having beeu released by the Collector cf Customs. It is not known what arrangements have licon made respecting tho ex penses, tho payment of which were demanded by the Collector. The report is /confirmed that the Americans who were in tho seino boats , seized at Souris were not allowed by the Collector of Customs at that port to re turn to Gloucester on other United States fishing vessels as fishermen in distress. United States Consular Agent Carleton ap plied to tho collector tor permis sion to forward thorn in that . manner, and tho collector said he could not grant the application. It is con tended that there was no necessity for the application, but that if the consular agent desired he should have requested the master of any American vessel to take them,which would not be tt violation of any Canadian law or fisheries treaty. status of the case. If an American schooner happened to be in port it is to be presumed that she would be there legally, taking advantage of the privileges and rights accorded to United States vessels, anil as men c.istaway adrift, as those Itelonging to the Col. French and the Argonaut are to be considered, they would be carried home free of charge. Therefore the placing of them on board for free transportation cannot be said to be shipping men, which is prohibited, nor acceptance of pas sengcr traffic, os no passage money is paid Tln> consul is empowered to command the Captain of a vessel to accept the meu and the Captain cannot, under the American law, refuse to take them. This is the side of tho question as presented by the friends of the fishermen. Why the collector at Souris declined to grant the consular agent’s application has not boon learned but. it is presumed that ho thought ho was asked to allow a violation of the law.
