2 DEAN'S DILL UNDER FIRE. BRANTLEY OPPOSES SELLING THE STATE ROAD. All Pending Disputes Concerning the Property Should Be Settled Before Its Sale is Considered—The Provis ions for Insuring the Payment of the Purchase Money Declared Insuf ficient. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19.—1n the Senate to-day the debate was continued on the Dean bill. Mr. Brantley, of the Third dis trict, made a brilliant and forcible argu ment against the bill. He regarded, the question as one of paramount importance in which the people of the whole State were equally interested. It was a business mat ter which should be handled in a practical way. The building of the road was advo cated by the greatest of Georgians, who failed to discover that they were violating the spirit of our institutions, and for forty odd years the road has been a part of the policy of the State. He referred to the radical change of position of Senator Dean, who was elected on a platform op posing the sale, but is now the introducer of a bill for the sale. He conceded an honest change of opinion, but insisted that, the rea sons controlling Air. Dean’s change would not convince every one, nor indeed because he changed did it follow that the people had changed. The question of sale is a now one in Georgia, and it would be hasty to pass the bill now. Mil lions arc involved. The financial policy of the State is involved. He thought a sale under this bill would be bad policy. No se curity from the purchasers is provided, other than that the title remains in the State, but possession passes to the buyers, who have twenty-seven years in which to I>ny. He would not. sell property on simi nr terms, and was unwilling that the State should. PROVISION against speculation. Further, there is no provision against speculation. The first purchasers may sell again, and it may be sold again and again and the State have no authority. It would be greatly lietter to sell outright. Air. Brantley objected, further, to tho bill that it did not fully and accurately describe the {import} to be sold. The purchasers cannot mow what they are buying. They arc re quired to pay a large amount before hav ing an opportunity to examine the proper ty, and over two years before its delivery. This reverses all rules of business. Again what disposition is to bo mado of the pro ceeds ! Where is the money to be placed? The State cannot afford to take dimves on this great property, which is in a large measure the basis of its credit. No provisions is made for a settlement of the question of betterment. The State may not be nliie to deliver all the property. Yet under the bill it binds itself to de liver the property in tlio same condition it is now. The bill proposes to sell the real estate of the road, city lots in Chattanooga and Atlanta. There is no complete record of this property, liejthor as to title nor value. There is not a Senator who knows the extent and value of tne State’s property in Tennessee nor the im provements put on it by the lessees. A oommittee has been appointed to go to Chattanooga and investigate, but it is pro posed to pass this bill in advance of their report. THE CLAIM FOR BETTERMENTS. Mr. Brantley discussed Air. Brown’s letter on betterments, and said the question can not be ignortsl when such a man claims that the lessees have a right to wreck the road, which has never been met or answered. The State now has no security from the lessees, and there ought to boa settlement of tiie l letter ment question be fore an attempt is made to sell the road. Mr. Roberts, of the Fourteenth district, favored the bill, lie said there would be no difficulty in giving a sufficiently full de scription of the property to satisfy the pur chasers. As to the threat of the lessees, lie thought the State should act upon its con victions, and proceed regardless and in de fiance of ihreuts. Is it good financial policy to keep this property when the income from it does not pay the public debt intercut? The futnro rental of the rood is merely speculative. The value of the road may lie greatly depreciated by com binations against it in the next few years. It is not a sound or wise jmliey for a State to own a road to the discrimina tion of its citizens, ller right to do so is not denied, but it is an injury to the inter ests of the citizens. The people on the Ma rietta and North Georgia railroad uro more clamorous for charter rights, which are de nied them for fear they will affect the State road. Air. Rolierts thought the present lease was honeycomlxsl with fraud. The 1 legislature that passed the act did not treat it as a busi ness proposition. HAUNTED BY FRAUD. Fraud will hung around this property until it is sold. It was temptation that made the Yazoo fraud, and there muy bo other frauds exceeding it in turpitude if the temptation is not removed. The threat to wreck this property comes from a man the btate has greatly honored. Shall we stand appalled before this threat pending this argumeut? The Senate then adjourned till to-morrow.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19. —Rev.

Mr. Kent says that he pat ronizes the schools liecauso the training is superior, and that he believes that the co-education of the races is right. Mr. Kent denounces the Glenn bill us wrong, unchristian and unconsti tutional, and thinks that* notwithstanding its passage he will continue to send his children to colored schools, because he believes that the bill will tx- de clared unconstitutional.

Thousands of Visitors to the Chal lenger from Scotland. From the New York Herald. “I would give 810,000 for a week’s lease of that boat," exclaimed an enterprising showman who stood in a crowd on the end of the old ferry pier at Tontpk ins viile yester day’ afternoon, and nodded his head toward the Thistle, which lay 100 yards away. “Why, what would you do witfi her*” asked his companion, who was \yidl aware that he did not have enough of the world’s goods to enable him to enjoy the luxury of a yacht for the pleasure it might afford him. “Do with her?” he echoed. “I’d haul her up on a dry dock, erect a tent over and around her, stand at tho entrance, and take the people's money at. the rate of jl a head. Look at the people who come down here to see her. Why, she’d draw like a circus.” That showman had a level head, and could he effect a lease upon the terms he suggested, he could, doubtless, make a small fortune from the venture. Never lias any thing in the shape of a boat attracted so much attention as has the handsome Scotch cup challenger. Not less than 1,000 people went down to Tompkinsville to get a look at her on Tuesday, and there were at least three times as many yesterday. The lioat* men thereabouts are reaping a harvest of coin of tho realm from people who want to be rowed around the foreign racer. They are a thrifty lot and are not at all conscien tious as to the prices they charge. If busi ness is not very lively, and there are enough of them idle to make competition strong, they will contract to row out to the yacht and hack for #l. But if only two or three are ashore, and the demand for boats is greater than the supply, they run the price up to 82 and 83. A CHANCE FOR A LOOK. All the excursion steamers running through the Narrows veer from their course and run close to the yacht in order to give their passengers a chance to get a good view of her. They run by at* reduced speed, the bands play Scotch airs and the passengers cheer until they are hoarse. At first tho crew answered the cheer with a will, but there were so many of them that it, became an old story and also interferred with their work and they gave it up. Thereafter the officer on deck, m lieu of other means for responding, answered all salutes by waving his hut. The crew having rested from the fatigue incident to the voyage across the ocean, put in a gcwxl day’s work on Tuesday, and soon after daylight all hands were piped on deck and began st ripping off the upper rig ging. The running rigging, which looked ns though it had been in service a year in stead of a month, was coiled on deck and the blocks, which were considerably chafed during tho voyage, were scraped, varnished and hung up on poles fastened to the dingy davits at the port quarter. Tho short and chunky stick which hail done duty ns a topmast during the trip, the storm trysail gaff and tha temporary bowsprit were alj unshipped, put over the side, towed by tho yacht’s cutter t*o the ferry house pier, and laid near the long, canvas-covered racing spu s. In tho afternoon the racing topmast and bowsprit were towed over to the yacht and put on deck. They will lie shipped to-day. The work of putting the big spars in place will 1* carried on with all possitilo haste, and Capt. Barr expects to have his boat in sha[>e to cruise about by Tuesday next. He says that ho is anxious to get her in trim to sail as quickly as possi ble in order that he may more thoroughly acquaint himself with the courses over which the cup races are to he suilo L He l>e came pretty familiar with (he courses when he was here in 18S5 as skipper of the cutter Clara and will, therefore, carry no pilot (lur ing tho races. CONCERNING THE VOLUNTEER. When the Volunteer is brought up as a subject of conversation within ids hearing Capt. Barf is always an attentive listener. Ho makes no concealment of the fact that he regards her as a dangerous rival, and evidently believes that she is fully as fast on every point af sailing except before the wind He is naturally loath to express any positive opinion about jier until lie lia-s soe i her sail, and is, therefore, very guarded in his replies to the oft repeated question, “What, do you think of her?” “No admittance except on business” are the words painted in big black hitters on a sign board winch hangs near the Thistle’s boarding ladder, but it seems to have little effect in keeping all sorts of people from at tempting to get aboard. “Not less than 200 people have come alongside and asked per mission to look about the vessel,” said the good-natured Captain, “hut I have strict or ders not to allow any one on board without a permit from one of the owners, and must obey it to the letter. Why, even in Ikm rook Bay 1 was compelled to turn away some of my most intimate friends.” Among those who did visit the yacht during the day were Richard Henderson, of the Anchor Line, one of the owners; Com modore Bateman, who came down in his fleet steam yacht Meteor, anil brought with him his partner, Mr. Green, John F. Hum mer and E. 8. Chapin; Cant. Morrison, of the Anchor Line steamship Utopia; Commo dore Cornelius Leo, who made a reputation as an amateur skipper by bringing the yawl Cythera safely across tho Atlantic,™ heavy weather; W. A, W. Stewart, the owner of the Cythera; T. Malcolm Forbes, the owner of the Puritan; Reginald Francklyn, Howell Sanderson and W. T. (lliphant. Mr. Forbes inspected the yacht with the eyes of a connoisseur and thought that she looked wicked. He was especially struck with her big mast, and the only point which called for criticism was tho stern, which he thought looked as though it would drag considerable water after it. Commodore Bateman said it would he nip and tuck bet ween tho Thistle and the Volunteer in light weather, but that in a good breeze the latter would have consider ably the best* of it. One of the amusing incidents of the day was the exhibition of pertinacity made by a neatly dressed, elderly man, with bushy gray whiskers and a drawl in his speech which would have done credit to Lord Dun dreary. He went alongside in a small boat and started to go aboard without ns much as asking leave. A sailor caught him in the act and ordered him off. He persistently hung about tlie •iaddor until the captain came on deck. “I say, old man!” he shouted, ‘‘caronSyou make an exception for au Islo of Man man? 1 came from Douglas, and you ought to let me on.” “Impossible,” replied tho captain. “My instructions forbid it.” The skipper's attention was then attracted in another direction for a moment, and while his back was turned the Isle of Man cluinbored up on deck and dlssap]>oared down the companionwuy, VISITORS IN CROWDS. Steam yachts, launches and rowing barges hovered about* the cup challenger as thickly as flies around the bunghole of a molasses barrel. Frederick W. Vanderbilt came down from the citv with a party of friends in hi# steam yacht Vedette. .lordan L. Mott's steam yacht Puzzle brougut a good load of sightseers. 801110 of Coni. Oherardi’s family came over in the navy yard launch, and the six oared barge of the Nereid Boat Club, loaded almost to the gun wale with a bevy of young ladies from Brooklyn, floated around for lialf an hour or so. Some of the comments made by the fair passengers indicated that they were en thusiastic yachtswomen and denoted thut they lmd made a close study of the subject. •‘How much she is like the Volunl<*er,” exclaimed the brightest looking one of the lot. "Why, how can you say that?” replied the young lady in the bow seat, who had an eye lor color rather than shape. "The Vol uiiteer is painted white.” One of the adjuncts of the Thistle is a racing gig. It came over by steamship with tlie spars and is stored Witli them at the ferry house, The crew that mans this have won several gig raees 111 K tgllsli water#, aud, as they are desirous of mooting some of the gig crews of American yachts, a se ries ot races is likely to Is* arranged. One of (lie mntiv tmriio.ii-. which ran alongside during the afternoon carried a delegation from the Thistle Curling Club, of this city. They were there to invite Capt. Barr to attend a reception which they, in conjunction with tho Caledonian, This tio and Midlothian societies, propose to ar range iu his honor. He promised to bo present. GIVEN UP. The Charles Henry Supposed to Have Gone Down. From the Pensacola (Ha.) Commercial. During the gale of three weeks ago, in which the fishing smack H. S. Rowe was wrecked, there were at sea the fishing schooners Sarah L. Harding, Emma 8., Ada, Niantie, (Albert Haley, supposed) and Leonora and the sloop Charles llenry. It will bo remembered by tho readers of the Commercial that considerable anxiety was felt for some days afterward as to their safety. Every one of them, however, with one exception, made a harbor safely and re ported at home, having a rough experience, imt fortunately, no loss of life. The one exception is tho sloop Charles Ilonry, which is out twenty-eight days to day, and no tidings of her since the gale have ever come to hand. It was supposed for a time that all the vessels had ro[rted in safety, as it was several times currently rumored that the Charles Henry had ar rived at Mobile, but all doubts in this con nection were set at rest this morning by a letter from John Barbich. Mobile, to War sen & Cos., of tliis city, which states that the vessel has not reported since the gale. The Charles Henry was last seen by Capt. , Joe Fish, of the smack Emma li. She was then riding at anchor, with a tri-sail set, off Phillip’s Inlet, near the spot were the Rowe went on the beach. it is possible she dragged ashore, losing the crew, and the tact that no tidings have been received of the wreck may be attributed to the sparsely settlei 1 condition of the country along the beach from Phillip’s Inlet to St. Andrew’s Bay, but it is more probable that she went down at anchor. There was a heavy sea rolling in from the southward, and experi encod men sav the latter theory is most probably correct. Her crew consisted of five men, including the Captain. They were: Louis Verbeck, Captain, of Mobile, aged about 35 years. Roger Spinnagio, an Italian, aged about 23 years. Charles Coombs, of Mobile, aged about 40 years. Joe Lazzaro, a Portuguese, aged about 47 years. Ho leaves a wife and one child in this city. A Swede, known only as “Jack,” aged about 34 years. Capt. Verbeck is said to have been a very stubborn man, yet afraid of deep wa ter. and those who know him best think he refused to scud before the gale to sea, pre ferring to take his chances near tho shore, and that finding his vessel pitching under, his stubborn nature prompted him to hold on at ail hazard, and ho held on until the vessel went to tho bottom with all on board. If such was the position in which ho was placed, he could have slipped his cable and beached the smack, as was done in tho case of the H. B. Rowe, and thereby have saved the lives of himself and crew. Howevor.it wore uncharitable to suppose that Capt. Verbeck did anything but what he thought was right, considering his duty not alone to himself and crew, but to the owners of his vessel as well. Capt. Joe Fish, of the Emma 8., who arrived this morning, reports seeing a lot of wreckage at sea, just off Phillip’s Inlet, vaster .my, among which was a bowsprit which,he thinks might have belonged to a smack. “It may have been the Charles Henry’s,” said Cnpt. Fish. “If she went down at anchor, it is possible that she is breaking to pieces, and the wreckage I saw may have belonged to her.” KICKING UP THE DUST. Emperor of Norfolk, Brown Duke, Gleaner and Chiokahominy Won. Saratoga, Aug. 19. —This was the thir teenth regular day of the race meeting here, tho races of yesterday having been post poned.

Ex-Secretary of War Lincoln, who is now and then mentioned in connection with the next Republican nomination for President, is said to be earnestly and unalterably op posed to the use of his name in this connec tion. Hon. Frank Hatton, who was in Ar thur's Cabinet, with Lincoln, was in AVash ington n lew days ago, and, speaking of the Republican nomination.doclared Lincoln hu-- nn intense aversion to the idea of being a candidate for the Presidency He says no one can doubt, the absolute sincerity of the px-Secretary's protesting agaiftst any move ment being made in his behalf. He implores his friends if they have any regard for him not to think of or mention tho matter. He has no desire to enter the White House again in any capacity. Indeed, he seems to have a horror of the place. His presence there after the assassination of his father, and again after the slmoting of President Garfield, has caused him to associate thoughts of violence and death with the pres idential office of which he cannot rid him self. It is believed that ho has a supersti tious feeling that if he were elected Presi dent he would himself be in danger of assas sination. To a well-known army officer not long ago, who inquired of him about his Presidential chances, Mr. Lincoln replied: “If you ever hear of my wanting the office or lieing a candidate for it you may declare that 1 am a idiot and l will confess it.” A proud incident in Ihr history of American naval conflicts Is recalled by the proposed sale of the old corvette t’yane, now lying at Mare Island navy yard. San Francisco. She was at one time one of the finest war shipis in the Eng lish navy. On Fell. *4, 1813, she, with a sister ship, I he Ijevant, becaoiu the prize of the Amer ican frigate Constitution, off the coast of Portu gal The Constitution was in command of Capt.
