Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.-[Special.J—
A day spent in useless wrangling.
That expresses the situation in the
house this morning.
This morning, along with its report
of the proceedings of the House on yes
terday, the Constitution published a
lot of interviews from prominent citi
zens severely condemning and criticiz
ing the action of the House in defeat
ing the Confederate Veterans’ Home
bill. The Constitution also published
an editorial headed, “A Bad Day’s
Work,” in which the action of the
House was mildly criticized.
It was the interviews that we -e ta
ken exception to. As soon as the jour
nal had been read Mr. Wright, of Ef
fingham, came /erward with the fol
lowing resolution s-

Mr. Fleming made a few
ncing the resolution as
wise. If it was the wisli
.lure to take some action in
Constitution’s cou se then
tomorrow when they bad
cooled down and would listen to reason
in the matter.
But they didn’t want to
listen to reason. Mr. Wright was in
dignant, and when he obtained the
floor, he kept it for half an hour and
would yield to no man. He was as
tounded that members of the legisla
ture should be called traitors through
the columns of any newspaper and
wanted the resolution passed.
Several other resolutions were intro
duced as substitutes which were some
what different in character. They
sought to appease the members by de
claring that each man had voted on the
bill according to his convictions.
Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, was op
posed to the whole business. He didn’t
want any resolution pas«od exhonera-
ting the ninety-four who voted against
the Veteran’s Home bill. They needed
no exhoneration. Neither did
he think there was any sense
or justice in condemning the press
for its criticism upon the action of that
body.
Many others spoke, some strongly fa
voring the passage of the resolutions,
and others in favor of a consei vative
course. The latter seemed to have been
n the majority. Those favoring the
resolutions were Messrs. Humphries, of
Brooks, Dismuke, of Spalding, Bald
win, of Randolph, Hand, of Baker, and
Everett, of Stewart. Those who thought
the resolution should be tabled were
Messrs. Hull, of Bibb, Fleming, of
Richmond, Hill, of Meriwether, Davis,
of Burke, Atkinson, of Coweta, and
others.
Mr. Jackson, of Heard, moved to ta
ble the. resolution which motion was
not debatable. But by the courtesy of
the UouBe, Mr. Howell was allowed to
speak.
Mr. Howell first had the Constitu
tion’s editorial read.
He said he did not retract one word
of it, and asked if it was not a just
criticism upon the action ot the House.
(Only Wright, of Effingham, said no).
He spoke of the interviews, and said
they were simply given as expressions
of public sentiment upon the question,
and this was the duty of every newspa
per which proposed to give the public
good service. The editorial was the
only thing he was responsible for, and
he stood by it. If anything had been
said by the Constitution reflecting upon
the character or honesty of any member
of the House,4t was {unintentional.
The vote was then taken on the mo
tion to table the resolution and stood
to 62 in favor of laying the resolu
tion aside until the matter could be
thought of more carefully.
A CLEAR LOSS

Five hundred visitors.
That is the estimated number of people
who will come into Athens next Thurs
day over the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern road.
The railroad authorities have deter
mined to run an excursion from Elber-
ton to Athens and return on that day,
and as it is the-first of its kind over the
new road it will doubtless be well pat
ronized.
The distance is thirty-eight miles and
the fare has been made one dollar for
the round trip.
The farmers along the line
have all laid by their crops and will
doubtless take a day off and ran over
on a pleasure trip to Athens.
The citizens of Elberton will come
over in large numbers. The train
leaves that place at nine o’clock in the
morning and will reach Athens shortly
after ten o’clock.
When the excursion rolls into this
city, the visitors should be met by a
delegation of citizens and shown around
the city, and made to feel perfectly at
home.
The most prominent and influential
planters all along the line,between here
and Elberton will be along.
Let Athena give the excursionists a
royal welcome.

Of Three and one-half Cents per
Pound by Holding Cotton.
I On yesterday one of the cotton ware
bouse companies made a sale of forty or
fifty bales of cotton
At this season ootton is low, and
this brought only seven cents.
While talking with one of this firm
about the cotton situation it was learn
ed that this sale shows the folly of
holding ootton.
When that cotton was placed
in the warehouse, the fleecy
staple was selling at nine and a half
cents, and the farmer held his cotton
for better times. He sold it yesterday
for seven cents, or in other words a
clean loss of two and a half cents per
p >und.
Not only this, there was a loss of
twelve pounds per bale in weight, and
on top of all this khe loss of storage and
insuiance, .
Adding up all the loss sustained by
the farmer, it is seen that by holding
his cotton for better prices which never
came, he lost at least three and a half
cents per pound, or in other
nearly half.
Capt. Bill Smith, of Gwinnett, and Mr.
Everett, of Stewart.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.—[Special.]—
There has been a great deal of duel
talk afloat in Legislative circles.
The names connected with it were
W. H. Everett, member from Stewart,
and Capt. Bill Smith, of Gwinnett, and
Capt. George Forbes, of Atlanta.
At midnight tonight the formal an
nouncement of settlement comes
Smith and Forbes in interviews this
morning in . denounced the action of
the House.
On tbe floor of the House today,
Everett referred to Smith as a sore
headed politician,drunkarJ and several
other such epithets. He referred to
Forbes in like language.
Both men came out in cards in the
Evening Journal calling Everett
another. Then friends got together.
For Smith there were
Don Bain, Howell Erwin, and Senator
TomCabaniss; for Everett, Ed. Wil
liams, Smith, of Decatur, and Hum
phreys, of Brooks.
They announce first that Mr. Smith
gays he didn’t mean Mr. Everett when
he said what he said; second, that Mr.
Everett retract on the floor of the
House what he said there; third, that
Smith retract through the Journal what
h» said there tonight. In the Everett-
Forbes affair the bare announcement is
made that the matter has been amicably
and honorably adjusted.
It is signed by W. L. Venable for
Forbes, and John T. Boifeuillet, for
Everett.
this fall is a puzzle that is worrying
the exporters and speculators as well
as the farmer, who i6 most interested.
So far, the reports on the growing
crops are decidedly in favor of another
large yield this season that with a large
surplus still on hand, does not look
very promising for higher prices; not
if the supply and demand for the new
material have anything to do with it.
“What about the terribly low prices
cotton i8|now bringing?”
“Speculation generally has a large
sized say so in making prices, very of
ten without regard to supply and de
mand. Money controls speculation,
and since last winter when tight money
took a firm hold upon almost all na
tions, the speculators found it almost
impossible to operate except on small
business, in ootton as well as grain, etc.
Consequently from the burden of over
production and a lack of money to con-*
trol, the price of cotton has steadily de
clined till it has reached the lowest
point since way back in the fifties.”
“Will not the immense crop prove a
curse to the people?”
“Having another large crop of cotton
really seems a calamity'lather than a
blessing. On the other hand the im
mense grain crops in the West will no
donbt prove a blessing to the Southern
cotton planter as well as the Western
grain grower in this way. Europe
will be obliged to get nearly all of her
supply of wheat, etc., from this coun
try this year on account of almost total
failure of her usual source.”
How will this benefit the farmers of
the South ?”
That will bring large amounts of
money back to this counury in return,
thus helping largely in easing the
money market here, confidence will be
established, speculators will take hold,
as they have already taken hold of
grain, and by the middle of Novembar
easy money, confidence and speculation
though not to be akin to confidence will
have run the price of cotton up to a
higher figure than it now commands.
The over supply may prevent any very
wide fluctuations, but 1 believe the
Southern cotton planters will feel tbe
benefits ftom the great grain crops of
the west this fall.”

Tuesday night after he had retired,
Dr. W. B. Steedly was awakened by
the screams of his little girl, who was
calling to him to come up stairs, that
there was a negro man in the house.
He got up and rushed up stairs to find
a big black negro in the closet in one

evidently entered the house by the back
way for the purpose of theft and had
been caught before he had succeeded
in carrying out his intentions.
Dr. Steedly had no weapon with
which to attack the negro, but he grab
bed him by the collar and pulled him
from the closet,
The negro never attempted much, if
anv, resistance.
Dr. Steedly asked him his name and
what he was doing there, but the negro
wouldn’t answer.
The negro was led ou* 1
into the back yard and
made to strip to the waist.
A coil of rope lay near at hand and
the heavy rain had soaked into it until
it was veary heavy.
Dr. Steedly bent the negro over and
with his goodright arm laid
on the lash in |the most approved and
vigorous style. The wet rope striking
and raising blisters but still the good
work went on.
The negro begged but not until one
hundred and fifty lashes had been laid
across his naked back did the whipping
stop.
After promising never to attempt to
steal again, the negro was turned loose
and went his way.
Several negroes are now making it
their business to slap all the darkies on
the back to see whether or not they can
run up on the negro with a sore back.
Will that negro ever attempt to steal
again? Well, maybe he will, but it

And cut a gash In his head.
Just in front of tbe University Bank

was cut for the purpose of making sew

Last night about dark, a negro boy
named Josiah Lewis was walking along
Broad street with a small grip sack in

Whether he was careless or whether
he couldn’t see the ditch is not known,
but at any rate he went into it and up
to his knees in the water, with which
the ditch was filled.
He struck his head violently agaiust

THE INDIGNATION MEETING
To the Life of Mrs. Mary Eliza
Pittman.
Died in Athens, Ga., Aug. 21, 1801.
Mrs. Mary Eliza Pidman, in the forty-
sixth year of her age.
Mrs. Pittman was the daughter of
Mr. Washington and Mrs. Elizabeth
Strickland of Madison county. Was
married in the year 1807, to Mr. J.E.
Pittman and lived in Athens most of
her married life.
She was a devoted member of the
Baptist churoli from early life. Being
reared in the country, she bad united
with the church of
which her parents and
other near relatives were members,jbe-
coming so much attached to it that she
never changed her membership, contin
uing to worship as circumstances per
mitted with her friends in the country,
at other tim-s she attended the church
of her denomination iu Athens.
Mrs. Pittman was not a bigot, though
a devoted Baptist, she loved all who
loved the Saviour, of whatever same,
feeling that all true Christians were
children of the same loving Fatner, and
heirs of the one great inheritance.
She" loved to talk of
experimental religion, and her eyes
would brighten when she referred to
the time she trusted she gave herself to
Christ,
The writer, though connected with
different branch of the Christian
church, never felt that there was any
barrier intervening when that subject
came up.
She was a true woman in all the rela
tions of life, a devoted, |faithfal t wife, a
loving, self-sacrificing mother; she
would have sacrificed her life for her
family.
Her devotion to her home was
wonderful, her one thought
being to ornament, beautify and render
it attractive to her family; though she
was none tbe less the same affec
tionate daughter and sister of earlier
years, never being happier than when
she could welcome to her home, her
parents and _ other ielatives,
the same cordial welcome being always
extended to tbe parents and friends
of her devoted husband.
As a neighbor, she was always ready
to lay aside her home pleasures and
give all possible assistance in any case
of suffering within her reach.
Though always feeble herself
she never seemed to think it
anything but her duty to sit all night,
if needed, by the bedside of a sick
neighbor. We trust she is now in that
land where there is no sickness or s or
row known.
Her illness was long and protracted,
her suffering intense, but she bore it all
patiently.
She earnestly desired to live, for the
sake of her family, but when death
came she went submissively, telling her
weeping bn -band that she bad tried to
get well, but it was not tbe will of God
and assuring him that she was cling
ing to the ( '-ross, fell asleep in Jesus.
