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.

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.

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.

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.
