SENATE. I ... i.Airsov moved to take op the minority and . ‘. :i n-nort of the Joint Committees, appoint • vViamme the State road. I >i : Mvrphv said he hoped the motion would ! I I • !ai. That the minority report, though it had : I ; ~(u made by any formal presentation in tin- . I it was now by the motion of the Senator • Burke admitted to be before the Senate, and j ■ I , ivas considered ns a Report bv the Senate, b< [ . ..-,i to be heard upon it; and as the Senate j [ refuse to take it up, he desired to make n ; of facts as to the proceedings of that 1 I euittCP, and said : Mr. President: When that ■ mittec* was organized, 1 proposed to them that ; -. -bottld select a chairman; that my name ap ! i -r-ig first ou the list did not make me chairman, i I ~i matter of course, but that the Committee hud i I I,rijiit to select one. And, sir, when they express- i r'xtnselves satisfied that 1 should be considered j ..." .an, I remarked to them that 1 hoped each j ; them would feel that he had ail the privile i responsibilities that I had, except in deci- j ■ uuts of order and putting questions, and ! oped each member of the Committee would j ,nv and all suggestions and propositions j thought necessary to our investigation: ■ I t did not want to be considered as having ant ; , . ~j: ,-vbilitv on me than any of the re*t. j' i- President, t Dr. Jeter in the Chain -The ' NUii’or front DeKalb is out of order. It is no; to bring before the Senate the manner ot | oroceedings of that Committee. |! Mr Mitbphv—'That is true, sir; and Ido not pro- 1 v ; to do so. But, sir, here is a report upon the 0 f .Senators, and now moved to be taken up, j •Verting to contain a statement of the manner ol i .'reding by that Committee, and which casts a ; I J,,jfetion upon the Committee, and which is in it | ; untrue. And, sir, I desire to remark upon the ejynicuts contained in the minority report, thai ) I . ; nth may be presented in connection with the j I . ;-;neuts contained in that Report, and which 1 Pvi bound to sav, without intending any disre- j I, tt to the man that made them, that they are ■ Site. I t President—You can go on. Mr Mi'rpht-After the Committee had gone I ■::: ‘Ugh with the investigation upon the road and :n oiiices by inspection, Ac., on Friday evening I : „ited leave of absence until Saturday evening, I . ilii.’h time I promised to return to Atlanta, and • '!:,/* (Vißimittee under the directions of this mi- i •rr reporter, i L)r. Hii.l > who mu Chairman ol ’ t’emmittee on the part of the House, and I re- i «:eii litem to pursue such investigations ns they i I : j< think necessary, that tve might, if they I ,gre--d with me, make out our Report before tve ! hit that place. Hut when I returned to Atlanta, 1 I oirnod that they had adjourned to meet again in : 1 tfllodgeville, without even examining a witness! ...iithe Committee had ordered to be subpooned • appear on Friday night, and at the suggestion : this minority reporter. Yes, sir, he neglected j '.examine his own witness, and then comes here, j . iby his report, complains at the Committee for j | investigating. When the Committee met in | hlledgcTiae, those charges made in the nr wspa -1 rs and bv common rumor were mentioned; and . j : mosed the same course to the Committee tha; | . : posed in the Senate before the Committee was t: minted, to-wit: That if any man would conic kfirethe Committee and make a charge against ! rty of the officers of the road, and say that he | : i sustain it by proof, that we would give the I charged a copy of the charge, together with ; 1 :iv of the time aud place at which testimony 1 . Ibe heard, and go fully into the investigation I Aad,so far from avoiding investigation, I went to 1 ■ .. •’d rof the House, whom I had heard speak- I rgof those charges and the truth of them, and j «the presence of a Senator who now hears me, ' S < said that the Committee were ready and will I '-i to hear anv charge that any person would take ; responsibility of making, and to give him the fiv&ntage of all the testimony that he might de ire to have brought before the Committee, with e :ew to the full and impartial investigation of the .large That individual enquired of me when and where we would meet v 1 replied to him at V 1 o'clock, P. M , to-morrow, in the Library room, if? said I will be there, nod make the charges, and establish them. II,■ never appeared, nor did I ‘.ear from him again upon that subject. I would ! ■ <te to the Senati that this took place before the • f'ptii.n of the resolution of Dr. llit.l by thecorn- I suttee. j This course was objected to, and this minority I Reporter offered the billowing resolution, and that. . after he was cautioned not to introduce the I solution, unless In- was fully prepared to sustain e charges, alleged in the resolution, against the j I dicers of the road : j Whereas, it has been repeated and distinctly j larged, that the management of the Western and I ‘.'.lantie railroad, for and during the past y* r, lias -sr. characterised by numerous acts of political -Uum, and that the said road has thereby been ■ 1 :.aae an engine of political power devoted to the ' I i servii'iice of political purposes, greatly to the itriment of the interest and hnnor of the State ; I '• whereas, it has been specifically alledged tiiat I y rates ot freight established to and from Etowah ; were in violation of law, that higher rates • kfritht have been demanded aud collected of ■im political party-oaf of power, than were asked of ■ partv m power, (both being on the same or sim sr illusion where tiiese respective but different I s;.* »erc charged and collected i which distinc iiii between parties on account of political opin- H ; a t w M unjust, odious, and plainly infraetive of H sy; and whereas, specie has been transported H ''Ac road free of charge in one instance, and I W; with freight in another, which distinction •••newi partiality, disregards and breaks the law; Ki whereas, full fares nave been demanded and aerteti of a railroad agent, known and recognis i-Msueh, and in other cases railroad agents on "vlv the same footing, have been passed ftee, i distinction was made on ucc unt of the po - t. opinions of said railroad agent, nothiug to -ntrarv having been shown, or is possible to '-wn; and whereas, all these acts of favorii tartiality and injustice, together with the gett -1 unt of a judicious economy, argue and dem I '-’-t'.' a decided want of somethin*] —either tirm- I t>\ or prudence, or capacity, on the part of the I -P'rmtendent of »aid road, or his superiors in snd whereas, the people of all parties, who j " ' • stockholders in said road, absolutely de - ian investigation of all matters pertaining to y I*l road; and whereas, in the language of the | -muons appointing this Committee, it is their tot? and privilege “to examine into and report a the Finances, Equipment and Management tanerally, and upon all outer matters pertaining to " s '*“ r *ad of interest to the State, lie it, therefore, i Rtttfhtd, That this Committee do now proceed ; '-he plain dntv required of them, ns indicated in the above quoted resolution, which, in the opinion “! this Committee, require the investigation of the n.)u\4' specified charges, with a view final!;/ In pro " p* and disp-w-' of them, either as humiliating '•ruths, or dis reditable falsehoods.” 1' tms resolution Dr. I’iiilljps ottered the fol " ing amendment: hetolted. That Col. T. C. Howard, our Secretary, ni-i trov. Johnson and James F. Cooper, Su • . ter. ’ent of the Western and Atlantic railroad, , i ttttn a copy of this Preamble and Resolution, «he request that they furnish this Committee i 'information of all the facts connected ■‘•ti the matters referred to in the Preamble.” Which amendment was accepted by I)r. Ilill> i - minority reporter, and agreed to bv the Com' • •ce, without a dissenting voice; and the Keso* 1 -• '3. us amended, was, by the unanimous vote of Committee,adopted as the basisjof the action of - towottee. And, sir, in the tace of all this, .'J 1 taa * same Committee comes before the Oen ,a, “ v "?mbly with a minority report, and publish -vV " e through that report, that “ he en- upon his duties, expecting to have the hearty • nfo n n his fellow committee-men in a -. X.' * u ‘‘ an d free investigation, without regard feeling, party interests, or any other ob .i. “** sole one of deciding finally whether , aoove recited charges were true. But he disclaims all intention V U P OII the majority or their policy, that so »' .. : investigations of the Committee tend to r-g u J’‘i u ’^ ese charges, nothing lias been is-n f, 1 • ' n opinion. Too little time was tor investigation ; a majority of the Commit . m , the undersigned's opinion, too limited . ‘"". 3 “t the extent to which investigations - nbe pushed ; too fastidious ideas as to what r subjects of inquiry; and too narrow ■ s°f thtar own powers in the premises. The •Ja'r,f l * lter *, or raan . v them which, in the opin ,.j,undersigned, called for the most rigid ■_r T c -'"' tyers hela by the majority to be ‘ beyond “f' 5 ‘not proper subjects for inquiry,’ 4c., and while the undersigned would here distinctly ! recognise the confiding disposition of the majority 1 and their praiseworthy desire to look upon the bright side of every State road affair, he respect- ! fully submiis (bat it was A<.. desire to take nothing I ; upon trust, but to sift every charge to tiie bottom" ' and then declare the result.” Now, sir, this minority report, though he hini seli proposed the charges to be investigated, and they were adopted by the committee without diminution, accepted the proposition of Dr. Phil lies, to call upon the Governor and Superintendent tora report of the charges, thereby making it a Part ot bis own, and then and there agreed with I i tllu balance of the committee, that we would hear ! il !‘/ other testimony that might be offered on either side; and after the committee bad received the re port* of the Governor and Superintendent this minority reporter said that he would sign a report I upon the whole maogement of the mad as we I bad agreed to report, and which is now contained ; in the majority report, and who was present when ' special enquiry was made whether any other tes timony could be produced, and the response was | none i except front himself, and he never mention ; ed the name of a witness, nor asked to have a per son brought before the committee to give testi mony. ) Notwithstanding all this he said he would . sign the report, provided the committee would not i 1 express any opinion upon the truth or falsity of the charges, as they had said tliev would do, bv the resolution adopted as the basis of their action, ! as proposed by himself. But the committee i thought, as they had said they would investigate them iu the manner pointed out in the re solution, and had called in the officers and given full time and scope for contradictory proof to be brought in, and had received none; and when in i fact, this minority reporter had admitted, as 1 have been informed, that he had been deceived, and that the testimony he expected could not be obtain ed, they weir bound to pronounce the charges it;*- j ! fortunate, as the mildest term that was at all appli- ; cable to them. 1 say, sir, this minority reporter ! after all this, comes here wit h his minority report, after several days absence and condemns the whole course of the committee, and says that the mode I of investigation was especially' unsatisfactory to j ; him, and makes it the subject of special protest, i and to give plausibility to this protest, he has been artful enough to leave out that part of the resolu tion adopted by the committee, which he ac- i i cepted as a part of his own, and also, to omit to I say that the resolution prescribing the mode of investigation was offered by himself. He savs also that the committee had too limited notions of the extent to which the investigation should be | pushed, when they bad all the testimony the. I could obtain, after waiting over a month, and lie | complains, too, of want of time to investigate. And he, also, complains, that the ideas of the ! committee (except himself ) were too fastidious as i to what was proper subjects of enquiry, and that their views were too narrow ns to'their own powers in the premises, and that the very matters . »r many of them, which, in the opinion of the minority of the committee, called for the most rigid scrutiny, were held by the majority bevoud the scope of the committee, not proper subjects for enquiry, Ac , Ac. And he, also, speaks of the praiseworthy desire of the majority to look upon the bright side of every State road affair. He respect fully submits that it was bis desire to take noth ing up-rn trust, but to sift every charge to the bot tom, and then declare the result. Aud he winds up the report by specifying several proper sub jects of enquiry and recommends a reduction of treighls on the State road from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and the appointment of an efficient un fastidious committee gifted with power to “probe ; to the bone,” and all this this unfastidious, efficient j and praiseworthy reporter without, as he says, anr reflection, on the majority or their policy.' Now, ' sir, I use his own language and say that without any j i intention to cast any reflections on the man, tin statements in his minority report are not true, and 1 I promise to make good what 1 sav. And, sir, Ire j neat that in the statements contained in the minor- i tty report, that the committee had a limited view of j their powers, were fastidious in their ideas that j there was no concert of action among the ma jority, and that they were disposed to look ! tpon the bright side of everything connected with ! the affairs of the road, or that they did not take j time to investigate, there is no truth. The want j of any concert of action or agreement among the j members of the committee is disproved by their i report signed by them all, but the minority* repot- ! ter, and the fact that he proposed to sign it with f them, if they would report the resolution adopted j by the committee as the basis of their action, and ! ihe response ot the tiovernor and the Superinten dent, without expressing any opinion of their own ! upon the charges and specifications containsd in ; the resolution. Tiiat they did not take time to in | vestigate is disproved by the length of tune that j ntcrvened between the time they commenced their i investigations and the making out of the report, j that the minority reporter desired to investigate i more closely and report the result is disproved b\ I his having full power to do so arid not having done j so, and his minority report shows that fact. Thai : the balance of the committee had a more limited j view of their powers than the minority reporter I had, is disproved by their adopting the inode ot | investigation presented by himself, to the extent j that he proposed, and all’the rest agreed to it, and j the gratuitous assertion in the minority report that ; the committee desired to look upon the bright side j <-f every tiling, Ac., is disproved, by the fact that i they pursued the course which this minority repor- ! ter suggested, anil the .statement by him, that lit ‘ was for the most rigid scrutiny, that would sift everyting to the bottom, and report the result, and that he was less sincere than any other of the com mittee, and more disposed to pander to the politi cal prejudices and an outdoor pressure, are shown by iiis agreeing to the resolution with the balance of the committee, others refusing to report upon the charges therein made, and proposing to report ! the resolution and response of the Governor and ! Superintendent without anv expression of opin ion e.s to the truth or falsehood of them as they had agreed to do, and which he refused to do either with the balance of the committee, or in his mi nority report. And, sir, I repeat Hiatt recollect ; of nothing that was suggested as a proper subject | of investigation by the committee, that was not con sidered by them, except the sale of iron and the Cowart appointment, and the committee agreed that, as they were before special committees an pointed by the General Assembly, that we would not investigate them. Mr. Lono, of Glynn, interupting-Was that the only reason the Cowart appointment was not investigated. Mr. Mi neiiY It was. It is true that 1 gave it as my opinion that there were no facts in that mat ter for us to find, tiiat the appointment was an Ex eeutive appointment, and the authority for making ; it wits a matter of law, and that the proper mode ' of investigation was to call upon his Excellency i for his authority, and that could be done by the Genera.! Assembly without any interference by the ; committee. The minority of the committee suggests that freight, on through produce ought to be reduced. Hut. sir, I cannot see how the interest of the State would be promoted bv that at this time, when it is known that the road is getting more than it can do at the present rates of freight. And, Mr. President, 1 think it would be a hard ! matter, in the opinion of a man who would hack out from his mode of investigation, and refuse to 1 do that which he had proposed should be done, ami I had had the co-operation of his fellow eomtniUee : men to the full extent proposed by him, because he had been deceived as to the testimony that could be produced to sustain the charges made and in vestigated at his suggestion, to procure an efficient ; atnl unfastidious Committee. Mr. President, in conclusion I must say, that with tiiv knowledge of the facts in this matter, and my acquaintance with this minority Reporter, I can account lor this minority report in no other way than by coining to the conclusion that he is not the author of it, and that the author of it never was with the Committee, nor did he even know w hat had been before them, and decided or refused 1 to be decided by them ; and in saving this 1 think 1 hazard nothing, for 1 am well assured that I can ! 1 sustain the facts which 1 have stated, and I regret the necessity which hr.s made it my duty to state j them, and 1 feel assured that the Senate will heat me out in saving that I hat e endeavored, during I this session, to avoid all such discussions, and eon thets, and have gone into this statement with a view to do justice to the majority of the Committee ; whose course and conduct have been, as 1 think, un- ! justly assailed and severely censured, und in doing 1 so I use, towards the minority, the language used | : bv him towards the majority", that I disclaim any ' ■ reflection on him as a man. ’ " j The reports were taken up by the Senate, nnd a j motion was made to lay them ‘on the table. Mr. 1 Fa mb no, of Epson, supported the motion. He ; thought the best disposition that could be made of them wits this one. It decisions should be passed on one of the reports, there might be bad feelings i engendered bvthe action, and no good could result ! from it, and the harmony and good will of many might be destroyed. l)r. Laxurvu, of Oglethorpe, made a bold, elo- j <,uent appeal against their unjust disposal of these documents. It was an act of justice to the Oover n >r to make some decision, and he protested against laving on the table. I entirely agree with j the views of Dr. E.an'DlU'm upon this point, and think it should have been the duty, (he stern rigid duty of the Senate, to sanction one report or the ; other. Mr. Landrum. of Oglethorpe, said, that the posi tion of the Senator from Upson, was, that no good could r> -ult from taking up these reports—upon that position he differed With him radically. He j said that when this Committee was appointed, he acted with the anti-administration party on the resolution. He did it because he desired that the ehirgen which bad been preferred against the pre sent Executive should be sifted to the bottom. In the appointment of this Committee, parties were equally divided, and nothing whatever was resort ed to for the purpose of screening the management of the road from investigation. The Committee have discharged their duties faithfully, and every member of it has signed a report exculpating the j Governor from the base and slanderous eharZ* which have been made against it, hut the one who submits this minority report. The Senator from DeKulb bus replied fully to that report, and the ! Executive stands before this body after having j been submitted to the severest tests, fully excutpa ; ted. The question now is, whether or not this body considers the character and reputation of the Governor of sufficient importance as to require of them to endorse the vindication which their Committee has made, and to put the stamp of dis approbation on this minority report. The anti-ad ministration party after having searched every nook and corner for corruption, and failing to find it, call upon ns at this stage of the game, whilst defeated at alt points, to Lay these reports on the table for the balance of the session; because, for sooth, as the Senator from Upson savs, no good : can result from taking them up. Sir,'l desinAhat ! every member on this floor should show bis band, I and say to our people whether or not he believes these charges to be true, by endorsing or rejecting this majority report. 1 don’t want this question ] evaded ; we stand before the couutrv sustained against persecution and slanderous abuse, and it remains now for the present General Assembly to I endorse it. This, sir, is the good 1 conceive will result from taking up these reports. 1, therefore. I call for the yeas and na\ s. Several other members spoke, and finally the . motion to lay on the table prevailed. BY TELEGRAPH. From Kansas.

Try it, when j you will be convinced that no preparation possesses ! in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. ■ Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and w here the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing bui j skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing I new fiesli to grow out and fill up the shrivelled pari. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and this is the reason why it lias been so success ful in diseases of the joints. In affection? of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great rente- . dy stands before any other ever produced. For ! ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe- ; t-itic. For any internal inflammation, you will find it gives great relief, it has no equal in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb- , ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in deed nearly all diseases w hich require an internal application, and many others, are greatly benefitted ! iby it.
