MONEY WILL BE EASIER.
$3,494,700 PAID OUT FOR BONDS
YESTERDAY.
The Treasury Officials Well Pleased.
With the Results from their Circular
-Wall Street Already Feels the
Good Eff'ect- A Big Rush to Buy at
the Opening.
New York, Sept. 23.—The government
circular offering to buy 4 per cent, bonds at
a fixed price and to pay interest without re
bate caused a sharp turn in the sentiment of
the operators in the stock market, and the
opening this morning was oxcited at ad
vances ranging from Jr, to 1% per cent.
Buyers were so eager that they actually
climbed over each other for the first few
minutes nfter the opening, and the crowds
dealing in Western Union, Reading and
New England numbered over 1,000 brokers
each. During the first few minutes a fur
ther gain of about % was made, but a re
action then sot in and the market seemed to
be resuming its normal tone. London was
a heavy buyer of stocks, the heaviest or
ders for that account being in Louisville
and Nashville, Reading, St. Paul and Union
Pacific.
Over 02,000 share's of stock were sold dur
ing the first fifteen minutes on the Stock
Exchange this morning.
A GOOD EFFECT ALL ROUND.
The publication of Acting Secretary
Thompson’s circular in the daily papers had
a good effect among men of money. In
Wall street an air of confidence hung around
the busy market. Later on the exportation
of cotton and cereals will turn the flow of
money toward this country, however. It
is rather early to venture an opinion on the
effect of the circular.
One of the junior partners of Harvey
Fiske & Sons, said: “I’ve just come in from
the room, and I must say that the circular
has had a good effect already there. Four
teen millions of dollare is a good deal of
money, if we get it here by Oct. 8. A good
deal depends upon how much of the bonds
spoken of the government will get at thofr
figures. Some of them are quoted higher in
the ‘room’ this morning than the Secre
tary's offer. Four per cents., for which the
government offers 125 are selling at 125@
1251*8 at this very hour. The market is bet
ter.”
RUSHING IN THE BONDS.
Washington, Sept. 22.—The result of the
circular issued today by the Treasury offering
to buy and 4 per cent, bonds at 108 4-10
and 135 respectively, was awaited with ap
prehension by the "department. Through
out the day proposals to sell uin in at in
tervals, but they were for small
amounts and it was with evident
disappointment that the announcement
was made after 3 o’clock that the aggregate
of the offers at the prices fixed by the de
partment was but $074,700. That the
proposition to purchase 4 per cent, bonds at
125 was not generally regarded as an in
ducement was inferred from the small offer
ing of $480,000 of these bonds.
ALL CAME IN A BUNCH.
But it appears that the temper of the
sellers had Been miscalculated for later in
the day, and after the first announcement
additional tenders were received to the
amount of $2,820,000 of which SSO.'),OCX) wero
four and a half, and $2,320,000 four. This
raised the total of the day’s purchases to
$3,404,700, including $094,700 four and a
half, and $2,<800,000 four. Taking into con
sideration the fact that the circular was
issued to-day and that the public had not
fully had time to become acquainted with
its terms, tho financial officers of the
Treasury are pleased with the result. It
was detuned host not to make public to-day
the names of the persons and firms who sold
bonds to the government, and it is probable
that this information will not be furnished
hereafter. During the day many
telegrams were received at tho de
partment asking whether bonds can
be offered to the Assistant Treasurer at
New York, and lie paid for as provided in
the circular this afternoon. Acting Secreta
ry Thompson authorized tho statement
that offers must L>e made to tho Treasury
Department at. Washington, and that the
Assistant Treasurer will pay for tho bonds
purchased.
the stringency artificial.
Tho President is satisfied with the offect
produced by his action of last night in order
ing that $14,000,000 of fours and four and a
halfs should lie bought at fixed prices when
ever offered. The offerings to-day showed
even better than those of yesterday that the
stringency is largely artificial, anil specula
tive, and at the same time showed that the
administration had provided the best means
possible for modiyfing it. No further step
is now contemplated.

New York, Sept. 22.—The controversy
between the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad and certain roads of the
Eastern Trunk Line Association with regard
to the payment of commission by Western
roads in Eastern trunk line territory, was ter
minated to-day in favor of the Rock Island

COUPON LITIGATION.
Two Important Cases in the United
States Circuit Court.
Richmond, Va., Sept. 22.—1n the United
States Circuit Court to-day, Judge Bond
heard the argument in several injunction
cases now pending therein, resulting from
coupon litigation. These cases raise chiefly
the question of the jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States Circuit C> urt to enjoin the State’s
officers from carrying into execution an
alleged constitutional law of the State,
commonly known as the “coupon crusher.”
There were also two contempt cases set tor
hearing to-day, that of B. McCabe, the
Commonwealth's attorney, of Loudon coun
ty, and John Scott, the Commonwealth's
attorney, of Fauqueir county. These officers
disobeyed Judge Bond’s restraining order
heretofore granted, the latter willfully, and
their cases await tho determination ot
the jurisdictional question. Ex. Gov. D. H.
Chamberlain, of the counsel of the foreign
bondholders, made a speech to-day, and At
torney General Ayers argued in liehnlf of
the State. The argument will be continued
to-morrow. These are tho most important
eases ever heard in this court in coupon liti
gation.

Military Force Arrives at Mltchells
town.
London, Sopt. 22.—A troop of hussars,
a detachment of artillery and a large force
of police have arrived at Mitehellstown.
Magistrate Eaton has issued a proclama
tion prohibiting tho holding of any public
meetings during the sitting of the Police
Court, stating that any meetings held in
violation of this prohibition will lie forci
bly dispersed. Copies of the proclama
tion have been served on John Dillon
and Thomas P. Condon, (Home Ruler)
Member of Parliament for East Tipperary,
both of whom are now in MitcholLtown.
Mr. Dillon has declared his willingness to
address a public meeting and to repeat Mr.
O’Brien’s conduct in spite of tho govern
ment. A public meeting is being arranged
to hoar addresses from Messrs. Dillon and
Condon. A conflict is feared if the Nation
alists persist iu carrying out their inten
tions.
A dispatch from Mitehellstown this after
noon states that Messrs. Dillon and Har

political meetings shall be held in Mitchells
town during the present trial.
DAVITT SAILS FOR AMERICA.
Michael Davitt sailed from Queenstown
to-day for New York. Mr. Davitt says his
visit to America is of a private nature and
will be short. Before he loft he was inter
viewed by an Associated Press reporter, to
whom he said:
“The order for the suppression of the
Irish National League will neither intimi
date its members, nor, in the least degree,
set back tho popular movement. It is sim
ply impossible now to crush the movement.
That would mean to put in prison
three-fourths of the people of
Ireland. The immediate outlook is gloomy
in the extreme. I look with anxiety upon
the coming winter, believing os I do tliat
the action of the government will provoke
widespread disorder. If the people tamely
submit to be deprived of the right of public
meeting and freedom of speech they will
show themselves unworthy of home rule.
must fight.
“We must fight. We must make sacri
fices for the principle of self-government. I
have already served nine years in prison.
On returning to Ireland I have good pros
pects of putting in more years in prison. I
believe that every earnest Nationalist is
ready to do the same. I never found the
people readier to make sacrifices
for the national cause. I never knew of
any people in the world more resolute to
carry on a fight. It would be infinitely more
agreeable if we were enabled to continue
the struggle in a peaceful constitutidnal
manner, but the Tory government will not
let us. A policy of deliberate exasperation
lias been determined upon by the Salisbury
ministry. Upon them rests the responsibility
for coming events. By far the worst feature
of the present situation, is the government's
plan of resorting to tho worst kind of coer
cion ill the interests of the landlords. They
admit that the present dual ownership
ought to lie abolished. They recognize that
the existing system is a complete failure,
yet the movement of the Irish leaders to re
form land tenure, is declared illegal, and
they themselves are denounced as crimi
nals.”
THREATENS TO RESIGN.
William J. Evelyn, Conservative mem
ber of Parliament for Deptford, threatens
to resign his seat in the House of Commons
rather than support the government’s cruel
measures in Ireland. Mr. Smith, the
government leader in the House of Com
mons, has written Mr. Evelyn a letter
promising that full inquiry shall be made
into the Mitehellstown affair.

GOADING THE PEOPLE.
United Ireland publishes the text of the
official circular issued by the Irish gov
ernment to the police in 1880 respecting the
line of conduct they were to pursue with
respect to league meetings. This circular
directs that where government, reporters
attend such meetings the officers
in charge of the police present
shall request of the ehnirtnan of the meet
ings aceonunoilations for reporters on the
platforms. If the requests be granted, the
circular makes plain, police escorts, armed
w’itli batons are unnecessary. In view of
this, United Ireland accuses the govern
ment of breaking tho miles at Mitehellstown
with tho deliberate object ot goading the
people.

GLENYS BILL UNDER FIRE
THE SENATE ADOPTS THE SUBSTI
TUTE BV 25 TO 13.
Strong Speeches Made Against tho
Measure—The Senator from the First
District One of the Most Eloquent
Among tho Speakers New Bills in
the House.
AtlaJTa. Ga., Sept. 23. —1n the Senate
to-day tic special order was the Glenn bill.
The discussion occupied the morning hour.
Quite a crowd visited the Senate gallery to
hear th dobate, ami a prominent figure on
the floor was the author of the bill, who was
there to see how his pet measure fared in
the upper house. It fared ill.
Mr. Wright, of the First district, took tho
floor in opposition to the substitute proposed
by the committee, and in favor of the bill
ns it dine from the House. He said the
langiugo of the organic and statute law
could not be plainer. Tho law for
separate schools is mandatory ami not
directory. The Glenn bill is in harmony
with tho constitution. The State is com
mittel against tho policy of co-education of
the races, and if tho bill is defeated we re
pudiate the policy already recognised. Tho
Introduction of the bill may have been un
fortunate, but tho Senate could not afford
to irpudiate tlie principle involved in it.
THE EVIL EFFECTS ALREADY ARE PAST.
The evil that will result from this ques
tion has already resulted and there is no
middle ground. Wo are compelled to affirm
or renounce tho pilicy of the State, The
government met House of Representative*
have already proclaimed the sentiment of
oir people on this question. Shall
the Senate retreat under the fire
if the negro and the miscogenous press.
Race co-education is synonymous with inis
eegenation The public sentiment that i>r
niits white girls to lie educated with negro
Ih>vs is not tar from n public sentiment that
will permit, white girls to marry negro boys.
He then discussed in detail the objections to
the substitute, contending that its pro
visions amount to nothing.
ADVOCATES OF INTERMARRIAGE.
The work which these people, the negroes
and their lovers at the North, have set for
themselves stops nowhere short of the in
termarriage or the races. Ho quoted from
Fred Douglass to provj this. Ho cared
nothing for the argument that tlie
passage of the bill would endanger
the success of the Democratic party. Ro
publican success with negro Republicans iu
office would be lietter than to have white
girls and negro boy* sitting aide by side in
tlie same school. What interest have we in
the success of a democracy that permits
such a state of affairs? Why are wtyisked
to hock down from this law? Simply that
a few political bosses in Georgia may con
tinue to dispense patronage to their retain
ers and buglemen.
A RAP AT HAYGOOD.
The Senator concluded as follows,evidently
aiming his remarks nt|l)r. Haygood: “Or
can it lie that this Senate is going to be
frightened or cajoled with a surrender of
this tradition of our fathers by an tx-clesl
ostical bully and salaried traduoer of his
people? If so nothing will lie left tho peo
ple whom we dishonor but to exclaim in

the uncircuracised triumph.’
CO-EDUCATION NOT WANTED BY NEGROES.
Mr. Hand, of the Ninth district, opposed
the bill, but favored the substitute. He as
serted thut the native white people of the
South, and the mass of colored people, are
opposed to co-education. There was no rea
son for passing a statute for an evil that
does not exist.
Mr. Butt favored the bill and opposed the
substitute. He said the question whether
there is any necessity for tlie bill is not in
volved. The bill bus been introduced anil
should lie acted upon.
Mr. Brantley opposed the bill. He said:
“In approaching thk discussion of a hill as
muchly traveled ami as widely known ns
this bill, we should bring into play the wis
dom, discretion and dignity we fell heir to
when wo became members of this honorable
body.
AN OVKRAMBITIOUB MEASURE.
“The bill is ambitious. Probably in its
youth it never dreamed of covering more
territory than is embraced in one Congres
sional district. It has grown until the
State can’t hold it. It has but lifctlo right
to its vanity and ambition, and is doing the
biggest business on tho smallest capital of
any bill known. It proposes to prevent co
education in Georgia. Is there an instance
where there was a single white citizen
or a negro of Georgia who is
trying to enforce mixed schools? This bill
was introduced simply to break up the prac
tice of the professors of the Atlanta colored
university of teaching their children. This
bill is eleariy uncalled for, anti there is not
a single Senator on this Moor who appre
hends any co-education of tho races among
his immediate constituent*.
EFFECTS OF ITS PASSAGE.
“I say the passage of this bill would sim
ply advertise to the world thut this is such
a growing evil that wo had to pass a
penal statute aguinst it. I say that
the passage of this act would show
to the public that public sentiment in
Georgia was not strong enough to prevent
tho co-education of the races. I am op
posed to this hill for this reason. I say that
when the Legislature is passing such laws
as relate to the private life of tne citizens, it
is opening the door wido for bail legislation.
This hill is unprecedented. There wus
never enacted such a law as con
tained in the provisions of this bill.
When the State furnishes equal accommo
dations to the people of both races, then tlie
State could on force the provisions of this
bill. As applied to public schools our con
stitution contains tins clause which the Uni
ted States constitution d<xw not contain;
“There shall be no legislation upon the so
cial status of the citizens.”
INTERMINGLING OF THE RACES.
“Why not say that tlie while children
shall not play with the blaek children or go
to church togethor. They can live together,
interchange visits, play together and finally
die together, nnd do all things except, go to
school together. This clause was put In for
the protection of the white people,
liecause by some it was feared
that there might i>e legislation
on this subject. Now here comes this bill
which attempt* to break down the harrier
we have erected. 1* there a Senator on
this floor who believes the day will ever
come when legislation on t his subject is
needed i If tlie iiay should ever come I hope
that Georgian* will rise in thoir
might and enforce what the law
cannot. These of us who are opposing this
measure are charged with buck mg down.
We are simply discharging our duly as we
believe it to 1* right, is It a back down
whenever the Senate fails to approve of tlie
action of the House? if an better abolish
tlie Honan*.
attitu iiic of the friend* or the measure.
"The friend* of tho bill any It was unfor
tunate and unnaonnary In the beginning,
but they now propose to v<He for It hecauae,

aay they ought not to par* it. They are Isi
itig driven into something their own judg
ment condemns by certain publi
cations, and yet have the temerity
to charge us with lining influenced
who have remained true to our convictions.
It is not a ‘backdown;’ it is an assertion
that Georgia manhood is not dead; that pub
lic sentiment in Georgia is still true to her,
and that Southern chivalry is yet alive in
Georgia.”
Upon a vote the substitute was adopted
by 25 yeas to 13 nays.
The bill now merely withdraws State
money from educational institutions when
the races uro mixed and makes graduates
ineligible for teachers places.
Mr. Butt gave notice of a motion to re
consider and the Senate will have the ques
tion over to-morrow.
In the House.
In the House to-day Mr. McCord moved
reconsideration of the action of the House
yesterday on the bill prescribing the age at
which minors may be employed in cotton
and woolen mills. The motion was tabled
by a vote of 77 to HO.
The following new bills wore introduced:
By Mr. Tate, of Pickens —-A bill to incor
porate the Blue Kidgo Banking, loan and
Trust Company.
By Mr. Wheeler, of Walker—A bill to
amend article 3, section t, paragraph 3 of
the constitution, so that the General Assem
bly of the State shall meet annually instead
of biennially.
By Mr. Shumake, of Burke —A bill to in
corporate the Hephzihuh and Hawkinsville
railroad.
The House took up for third rending the
resolution of Mr. Harrell, of Webster,
authorizing the Governor to sell 180 shares of
Georgia rail read stock owned by the State
and apply the proceeds to the payment of
the public debt of the State. The resolu
tion was considered in committee of the
whole.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, explained bis
motive in advocating the sale of the stock.
It, could lie sold now at a good price and the
money well applied. Stock in railroads he
thought was uncertain property. It was
liable to advancement in value or deprecia
tion til priee, and when it could be sold for
a go,si figure he thought that it would be a
wise [xilicy to let it go.
Mr. Foute, of Bartow, was opposed to the
sale. Ho thought that the investment was
a good one and should lie held intact. The
State was getting 10 per cent, interest on
the stocks. It was true that the stock
was worth $l9O per share, but lie
thought that tins should be no
argument for the sale, an in his opinion it
would always lie worth that figure, and
would annually pay the Htate 10 per cent,
oil the par value of the stock, wldcli was
SIOO per share. He did not think it was
wisdom to sell the stock.
MR. GORDON FAVORS TUB SALK.
Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, was in favor of
making the sale. The question that the
Legislature should consider was would this
stock always lie as valuable as it is now.
He said that, for only two or throe years
during the lease has the fJeorgia railroad
earned as much money as was needed to
pay the 10 [>er cent. When the Georgia rail
road was leased there was competition
tsitween that road and tho Central. Hinre
the O'ntra! leased it the East, Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad and tho
Richmond and Danville system had become
competing lines. Ho thought that it was
always good policy to sell a piece of prop
erty when he could get double the money
that ho paid for it. He thought
that tho time to sell was now.
A short time ago ho sold some stork in the
Georgia railroad which he held in trust for
some orphan children. He did so localise
he thought that the property was now
worth as much as it ever would tie, and
in the future it may be worth less. He con
cluded liis remarks by moving that tho com
mittee report the resolution back to the
House, with a recommendation that it do
pass.
MR, HARRIHON’H POSITION.
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, moved to
strike out the section providing for the dis-
Switlon of the funds arising from the sale.
e favored the soiling of the stock, but
wanted the next Legislature to say what
should be done with the money The amend
ment was accepted, and tho resolution was
passed as amended.
WINE FROM RKRRIF.S.
At the afternoon session, under a suspen
sion of the rules, Mr. Strickland, of Dawson,
introduced a bill to authorize the sale of
domestic wines manufactured from berries
in quantities of not less than one quart in
the several counties of this Htate.
The House then resumed the reading of
bills the third time.
Mr. Huff’s resolution for the relief of the
Home l’rovidetit Insurance Company,
passed.
Mr. McCord’s bill to tlx and regulate the
hours of lalsir in all cotton and wdolen mills
came up. Upon a call of the roll the bill
was lost.
Mr. Schofield’s bill to regulate the em
ployment of labor, requiring the employer
as well as the employe to give notice, etc.,
and also to prevent interfering with labor
employed in the factories of the State, and
requiring the proprietors of factories to
post notices stating what labor will be
required and the amount to be
paid for the same, came up. Mr.
Harrell, of Webster, said that the bill
could never lie shaped in such a way to
make him vote for it. He was opposed to
making any law regulating labor, it snould
be free to govern itself.
Mr. Jones, of Baker, moved to indefinitely
postpone action on the bill, and upon this
Mr. McCord called for the yous and nays.
The result was *4 yeas to 39 nays.
The title of the reformatory hill tfy Dr.
Felton was read. The introducer moved to
table it for the present. Mr. Kchofleld
moved rs a substitute for the motion that
consideration of the bill tie indefinitely (Kist
postponed. The substitute was lost, mid the
motion Pi table prevailed.
The bill of Mr. Bussell, of Clarke, to
change the time of hoi ling the fall term of
the Supreme Court of Clarke county
passed.
Mr. Perkins’ bill to require the indexing
of al I deeds, inort gages, etc., passed.
The hill of Mr. Pickett, of Worth, to alter
and amend section Mis (Z) of the Code was re
port'd liack by the committee with u recom
mendation the' it do not |ioss. The roport
of the committee was agreed to and the bill
was lost. The House then adjourned.

Ho Was In Command of Fort Pulaski
When it Was Surrendered to the
Massachusetts Boys—Gen. Hawley
Welcomes Him in a Speech- Old
Foes Fast Friends.
Hartford, Conn., Hept. 22.— The animal
reunion of the veterans of the Seventh Con
necticut regiment, once commanded by
Generals Terry and Hawley, occurred as
I-akeville to-day. After dinner addressee
were made by Gen. Hawley, Col. Char lee
H. Olmstead, of Savannah, Major O. S.
Sanford, of Washington, and others.
COL. OLMSTKAD’B CORDIAL RECEPTION.
A marked feature of the reunion was the
cordial welcome given by tho veterans to
Col. Olmstead, of Savannah, who was in
command at Fort Pulaski when the Seventh
Connecticut took possession of that fort
after its surrender, and afterward when
the liattulion of the Seventh assaulted Fort
Wagner he wns in command of that, fort
and raptured Capt. Chamberlain and about
fifty of the assaulting battalion who had

GKN. HAWLEY'S SPEECH.
Nothing could bo more cordial and hearty
than Gen. Hawley's words of welcome to
Col. Olmstead, and the cheers which greeted
the ej-Confederute during his patriotic and
loyal speech. Col. Olmstrod's daughter, Uio,
was greeted witli gnat applause when in
troduced p> the veterans. All tho speakers
showed that no fooling of bitterness toward
their old antagonists was entertained, and
tho fraternization wus complete,
hearty and sincere. Col. Olmstead, who
onee surrendered to the Seventh, and
aftorward captured a number of them, and
the surviving veterans are now the best of

FLORIDA’S RAILROADS
Col. Chlpley Makes an Argument Be-*
fore the Commission.
Tallaiiahhek, Fla., Sept. 22.—C01. W.
D. Chipley, representing the Pensacola
branch of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
way and the Pensacola and Atlantic road in
West Florida, appeared before the Railroad
Commission to-day and argued that the
present rates of turiir are reasonable and
just. He stated that the running expenses
exceeded the receipts daily and any reduc
tion of tariffs would result in serious loss to
tho rosd. He claimed that the classifica
tion of freights used hy the Louisville and
Nashville system is more satisfactory to
shippers generally and urged the commission
to adopt this classification instead of tho
classifications used by tho Southern railroad
and steamship associations, as urged
by the other roads of the State.
Col. Chipley exhibited figures show
ing that the assessed value
of the railroad track alone in some of the
western counties is bv far greater than the
valuation of the entire property of those
counties before the Pensacola and Atlantic
road wns built lour years ago. The aver
age tariff for passengers is leas than 3c. tier
mile and freight rape are us low as they
can be made in the sparsely settled country
through which the road passes.
Gen. W. H. Hebring, of Jacksonville,
male some valuable suggestions Pi the com
mission and argued for lower raPis in many
instances.
A number of complaints from individuals
have been presented to the commission,
and they are being carefully considered.
Much time will lie required Pi fix rates for
all the roads in the State. The commission
is in session daily, anil will hear all com
plaints presented, over which it has juris
diction.
Col. asked the commission tocon
sider the law requiring railroads to carry
separate coaches for colored passengers, and
asked if a coach div ided in the centre by a
partition would nut be compliance with the
law, when travel does not warrant car
rying an extra car for colored persons.
Judge McWhorPir expressed his individual
opinion that it would Is: compliance with
the spirit of the law and sufficient, but the
commission has no jurisdiction in this mat*
ter.
