Recently he returned and surrendered himself and is once more behind the walls. On arriving in Jack- son he hunted np Dr. Sproles, pastor of the Baptist church and chaplain of the penitentiary, telBUg him while in the pen he became converted at his services and loiig since, while lying dangerously be investigated, ill at Delhi.

Dr. Sproles accompanied Hnnnicutt to Gov ernor Stone's office, where an explana tion was had and cl.-mency prayed for. They then went to the penitentiary where the converted convict voluntarily entered upon the punishment meted ont to him years ago. It is very probable he will soon be pardoned. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. The resolution to pajra pension to Mrs. L. A. Eason widow of Jas. Eason, confederate soldier was reconnneuded favorably by a committee of the whole house, and was passed by a unanimous vote. The resolution to pay Hon. Jenings of Terrell county his per diem for forty- eight days of 1890’s session, was also adopted. Mr. Fleming thought that it was Unconstitutional as Mr. Jennings had merely been elected and bad never started from bis home. Therefore be voted nay There were but two dissenting votes to this resolution. 1 THE RAILROAD LEASES. The railroad leases and charters will and the youngest a babe of 16 months.

It was decided this morning by a vote of 36 to 94. The strong opposition to the measure did not seem to have any effect with the great number of Alliance members who thought that the right of the people had been violated* Five miuutes were left the committee to uphold their report, and Mr. Everitt took the floor. He was opposed to the resolution and followed up the remarks made bn yesterday. He spoke two minutes, and then yielded the floor to Mr. Hartridge of Chatam, Chairman of the railroad committee, who spoke in favonpf the report. He thought the people wqre opposed to such action as it bau been taken once before and $2500 had been spent upon it uselessly.
