J ESTABLISHED 10,10. I ( J. H. EOYII.I , Editor and Proprietor, f 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. A POOL ON SALT. AH tho Large Companies in the Coun try in tho Deal. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 22.—A mammoth salt company, composed of all the large salt manufacturers in the United States, is about to lie formed.

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 road.

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.

DAVITT PREDICTS A WINTER FULL OF DISORDER. Ho Sails For This Country for a Brief Stay—Ho is Willing to Serve More Time in Jail For His Country- A 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 rington have given pledges that no public 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. EDITORS DEFIANT. Dublin, Sept. 22. —The weekly Nation alist papers throughout Ireland publish the usual repoits of the proceedings of the various local branches of tho league despite the fact that under the terms of tho new crimes act the <slitorsare liable to imprison ment for publishing the reports, which teem with violent denunciations of the gov ernment. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has tailed an appeal for funds to defend and sustain a large numlier of political prisoners it is ex pected will soon be in jail under the coercion act. 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. During the evictions at Gweedore to-day there was a sharp encounter between the police and a mob of natives, in which batous were freely used. ENGLISH MEMBERS SrEAK. A deputation of English Members of Parliament visited Youghal to-day, where they were welcomed by 7,000 persons.

London, Sept. 22. —The Coroner’s jury in the case of the railway collision on the Mid land railway, near Doncaster, on Sept. 10, to-day rendered a verdict of manslaughter against both Taylor, the engine driver, and tho fireman of tho Express train from Liverpool. This train, at full snood, rau dear through a train laden with excursionists, which was standing across the track on which the express was running about a mile out from Doncaster where tne excursion train had stopped to give the conductor iui oppor tunity to collect tickets, much time (icing required for this on account of the unusually large load of passengers.

' 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 their open shame, ‘How are the mighty fal len. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon lost tne daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest tho daughters of 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, fqrarntii, oortam people and certain journal* 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.

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. FUGITIVE JAIL BIRDS.
