Atlanta, Ga., August 7.—[Special.
—Mr. Berner introduced today one of
the most important, and jostat this
time the most interesting measures,
now before the House.
It provided for an extension of the
power of tbe railroad commission so as
to give them supervision over the sales,
leases and contracts of tbe railroads
in tbe State, and to authorize (hem to
institute proceedings to annul! all such
charters as shall be formed illegal ac
cording to tbe laws and constitution of
the State.
This bill follows up the Senate reso
lution for a joint commute to investi
gate those railroad leases, and il any
illegal leases are found, and this bill
becomes a law, the commission will be
given this power to have such leases
annulled.
By Williams of Richmond—A bill to
amend section 33^4 of tbe State code
relative to garnishments.
By Meriwether of Wilkes—A resolu
tion to proved that 310 copies of all
general bills reported favorably be
provided for the use of the House.
Mr.,Wheeler, of Walker, introduced
a resolution this morning in effect of
which was to limit debates on all ques
tions before the house to ten minutes,
that is for each speech.
Mr. Berner thought that such an iron
rule should not be established as it
might seriously interfere with debate on
important public questions. He thought
the.call for the previous question was
all that was necessary to stop long win
ded discussions, and moved to refer tbe
resolution to the committee on rules.
Mr. Wheeler said be was opposed to
spending the State’s money for these
useless and lang-meter discussions, and
wanted tbe resolution adopted. He
was willing however to have tbe resolu
tions committed.
By Boifeuillet of Bibb—To amend
section 1113 of the code, so as to fix
the members of aides-de-camp.
By Hand of Baker—To protect insane
persons in their postal rights, and to
prevent the confinement of sane per
sons in msaue asylums.
Special Order Next Thursday
Tbe bill to amend the code so as to
make daily weekly and monthly wages
garnfahable introduced by Mr.Ethridge
of Houston was made tbe special order
for nex Thursday. It is an important
general measure, and will no doubt
bring out an interesting general discus-
lion,
Whiping Bosses.
The house has passed the measure of
Mr. Dunwoody of Glynn to institute
whipping post at county and municip-
u) ebaingangs.
Mr. Dunwoody and Lectured Craw
ford of McIntosh had a hot encounter
in regard to tbe measure which tbe
committee recommended should pass
by substitute.
Mr Dunwoody made a speech explan
atory of the bill, stating its objects and
why it should become a law.
Lectured Crawford also made a speech
stating why it should not become a law.
It was legislation that" would be harm
ful to the negro.
Mr. Dunwoody answered bim in a
few remarks as.to why it should become
a law, and the bill was passed by a good
majority.
GABBISHABLE VOX TAXIS.
It now needs only the senate’s con
currence and the governor’s legislation
to make money garaishable for taxes,
Tbe bill,was introduced by Mr. Baxter,
of Bibb, and empowers tbe tax collec
tors of the state to issue process of gar-
i nishment for taxes.

flashing all around and over them.
The negro was finally lodged safely - 1

it being a vary severe wound, but not
necessarily a dangerous one. All hap

for some time, and was recommended in
the Governor’s message.
The bill provides for tbe establish

and makes *an appropriation of $6,000
per year to pay all expenses. There is
to be a special board of Trustees, and
the school is also to be supervised by
the Chancellor and trustees of the State
University.
Iu object is to prepare teachers for
teaching in tbe common schools of
Georgia, and after a coarse at tbe school
they will be required to serve as teach
ers in tbe Georgia schools for a period
of five years.
UN DEE THE RAILROAD COMMI-SION.
It is probable that tbe telegraph,
express and sleeping car companies will
hereafter be controlled as to their char
ges by tbe Railroad Commission of the
state.
At least that is what the house decided
this morning after about three boors
discussion and consideration of the
measure.
The bill was introduced sometime ago
by Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, and was
tbe special order for tbe morning’s ses
sion.
Mr. Atkinson nude a powerful argu
ment infavor of the bill. He was satis
fied that tbe measure was in the interest
of the people. Tbeinteliect-of the state
opposed it before Railroad committees,
but their private oninion in the matter
was in favor of it. Tbe people were
oppressed by tbe unjust charges of these
monopolies, and demanded the relief
which the bill proposed to .give He
made a strong appeal for its passage,
and asked the members not to be over
awed by tbe general judiciary com
mittee or great lawyers or railroad mag
nates
When he took his seat Mr. Hogan, of ^
Lincoln, offered an amendment which | has the manufacturer’s name on it and is
caused much laughter on the part of the
i house It was to put lawyers under
the Railroad Commission, giving
I the commission power to pre
scribe the fees which lawyers should de
mand for their several kinds of servi
ces. He stated that it served to be tbe
fashion to pot everybody under tbe con
trol of somebody else and he wanted
he people protected from this unjust
and i. iquitous monopoly of lawyers.
Tbe amendment created some talk bnt
was finally withdrawn.
Mr. Everett, of btewart, made a tel
ling speech in favor of the bill.
Mr. Smith, of Decatur, thought all

who can possibly entertain one or more
of the delegates to the convention of
the society will please call at the store
