The bill for the acceptance of the Boldiera’ Homo was reported favorably by the committoo of the whole in tho house of representatives Friday. After the introduction of a num ber of local bills, nnd some routine work, tho Holdiers’ Home bill came up as tbo special order of tho day. Speaker At kinson called Mr. ltankin, of Gordon, to the chair, und took a scat on tho floor ns the house went into committee of tho whole. Tho bill was read and Mr. Mar tin, of Fulton, was the first to got the floor to speak on the moasuro. Iln mado a good, strong speech in favor of tho nc- ccptnnco of the home. Next came Mr. Jones, of Dougherty, who also spoko in favor of tho bill. lie mado a very olo- quont speech In behalf of the old soldiers. Styles, of Liberty, one of tho colored members of the house, then took tho floor,nnd began speaking for tho Boldiors' Home bill. It was especially interesting, bqgnusa it wns not only on tho right lino, hut was n good speech. Among other tilings ho said : “I wns raised with those veteians who suffered in tho war. I car- tied tin ir school books to tho school house for them aud there was no diffor- cnco except that I was not allowed to study from them. Since you nre taxed to keep tip the homes for the union vet- cram, why not bo taxed to keop a homo fur yourselves? With theso convictions, and since they ask for only $15,000 a year for tho homo, 1 g ndly cast my vote for this monument to tho patriotism of old Georgia. (Ap plause.) After Styles had finished speak ing, Harvey Johnsou, of Fulton, Bpoke in luvor of tho home. Ho made one of his usunlly unphatic speeches nnd it was well received by tho members sr.d by those in tlio galleries of the bouse be sides. Ily this time tho gailorics were fast filling up with visitors, among whom were tho governor and several other dis- tingushed Georgians. West, of Lowndes, ft.'lowed Mr. Johnson with a well-direc ted effort on behalf of tho old soldiers. Ho mado ono of tho strongest speeches that was mude on tho floor of tho house in favor of tho acceptance of the homo, Hall, of Thomas, was tho next speaker. He favored tho bill in a telling speech. Harris,of Quitman, tho recognized loader of tho opposition to tho bill in tbe houso, ipoke next and made a very earnest and sober appeal to tho members to vote ns their consciences and constituents dic tated. Tie said the quostion of doing something for the good of the old sol diers did not come up in the settlement of this issue. IJe was as good* a friend to the confederate soldier as any man in tho hall, nnd ho believed every momber in sincerity acknowledge - it. By this time several nmendmeuts were upon the clerk’s desk, and tho interest iu tho de bate was increasing with each minute. Mr. King, of Fulton, took the floor nnd made a very nblo talk in fsvor of tho bill, and wan followed by Mr. Boifeuillet, of Bibb, in mi eloquent appeal for the old soldiors. Mr. Sours, of Webster, was another to opposo tho bill, ns ho had dona before when it wns up for discussion in the com- mittco of the whole houso. Mr. Senrs is n good rensoncr, and went on to Bhow that tho bill wns not a feasible means to place a common living in reach of tho old soldiers. His position on tho bill is ul- lendy known to the gonerni public. This finished up the debate, aud tlio motion was made by Davis, of Heard, thut tho committee rise and report progress and report the bill back unfavorably. This could uot bo douo until tlio amendments pouding bad boen disposed of, and so the amendments woro taken up, Tho first amendment taken up was that of Quor- rnrd, of Clinthaui, requiring that the nmount appropriated annually shall never go above $15,000 ns asked for in the original bill. Thou came tho amendment by Hill, of Meriwclhor, to linvo the bill submitted to the peoplo of tho stato lit the next January county election. It wns adopted. Vole sovonty-tivo to sev enty one. Tho amendment by Allen, of Upson, to allow uono but confederate veterans to voto iu that election failed. Then enme the amendment by Freeman, of Troup, that in selecting officers for the homo preference shall be given ix- coufudcratc soldiers, and it was unani mously adopted. The next was mi uuiondment that the home shall not ever conflict with tho right of other soldiers uot iu the homo nnd uot desiring to bo placed there, to draw pen sions. It wns adopted. Here Fleming moved that tho committeo of tho whole iHe, roport progress and favor the lins- sige of the bill by substitute, as amoudod. Harrison, of Quitman, substituted tlmt tlio bill bo reported unfavorably, but this was lost on a voto of sixty-nine to seven ty-four. Fleming’s motion to roport tho bill favorably was carried oil n vote of oighty-two to fifty-eight. The minute after tlio houso resumeil scssiou Mr. Fleming moved that the bill bo made tho special order in the houso next Wednes day, which, after some discussion, was adopted. Just before the house ad journed Sir. Fleming recited tho fact that ihero was a vast deal of work on tlio clerk's desk, aud tho session was drawing to a close. He moved that a night session be held, nnd it was carried. Consequently, the gas was turned on in the hall Friday night, and the first night sitting of tho session occurred. The time wns occupied in rending bills the second time. At 9:30 o’clock tho house adjourned until Saturday. 30th Day—After the warm aud inter esting tight over the Soldiers’ home bill Friday, many may have thought that the combatants would rest on their arms un til Wednesday or that then a vote would be tsken upou the bill without debate. But they were sadly mistaken, for the bill bibbed up serenely immediately after the reading of the journal Saturday morning in the form of a motion by Mr. Allen to reconsider bo much of the journal os relates to the passage of the resolution which set tho hour of tlttveo o'clock next Wednesday (or voting upon the bill under the call of the previous question. Tho motion prevailed, and after a little further discussion, the soldiers’ home hill was made the special order for Wednes day immediately after tbe reading of the journal. The morning hour was mainly devoted to considering the substitute by the financial committee for tho general appropriation bill. It was read by sec tions, and several amendments of not much moment were offered, hut nothing of special Interest was done until tho fourth section was reached. Just hero Mr. Ham got the floor and offered an amendment to come in after line 21, lection 4, establishing for the State University a chair of “ped agogies” at a salary of fifteen hundred dollars a year. This brought on a lengthy debate, in which the whole school system ol the state was discussed. The amendment wns defeated by a vote of 00 to 24. Mr. Boynton wanted to amend by giving tho Dahlonega college $8,000 and all the other branch colleges $2,000, and Mr. Rankin loomed up ns he said in tho name of the masses with a substitute to the nmendment to strike out the appro- ririntion for Dnhlonega. Mr. Itaukln, In assorting this college, took the posi tion that the "masses” derived no bene fit from appropriations to it. Pending tbo discussion on this substitute the committee of the whole house, Mr. Bolt- cuillat in tbe chair, arose, repoitcd prog ress nsd asked lenvo to sit again. CAPTURED THE CAPITOL. A Lively War Being Waged Over the Wyoming Governorship. A special from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: Friday afternoon, accompanied by several meu, Governor-elect Osborne went to tho capitol and asked the janitor to show him into tho executive rooms, urging ns his plea that ho wanted to see the condition of tho furulturo. The j initor refused to admit him without tho authority of the acting governor. Govornor Osborne sent for a carpenter and ordered him to open a window loading to tho executive chombcj'. By the uso of a chisel tho window casing was removed, the sash thrown up and the party took posses sion. Osborne then announced himself gov ernor, saying that ho lmd tnken oath of office before a notary public. Tbo re turns from tho various counties have not all been received, consequently the stato hoard of canvassers have not yet mado a complete canvass of the retnrns. Governor-olect Ozborno’a action in try ing to take possession of the office before tho official ro'urns are in hns created in tense excitement. Ho remained in the office all day. Osborne is the democratic-populist can didate who is supposed to bo elected by seveuty majority, but tho official figures aro not in and Governor Barber, who op posed Osborno in the ruce, refused to give up the office pending tho official eouut, STILT. HOLDING TUB FORT. Saturday’s dispatches state that Gov ernor-elect Osborno spent Friday night in the executive chamber. At a lato hour a bed was sent in by friends. Tho plteo was guarded on t’ue outside by tho sheriff of tho county, who had been called to service by the capitol commissioners on a it port that tho republicans would raid tho building during the night to get pos session of tho seal of state. Members of the state board of canvassers now say tboy will canvass tho vote for governor sad Issue Osborno a certificate of elec tion. Saturday evening Acting Governor Barber Issued a proclamation denouncing Osborno ns an usurper. He calls upon tbo citizens to support him as acting governor.

THE THOROUGHBRED. ills Development Is Entirely the Work of Man. In so far as a creature ondowed with life can owe its existence to human Immls, the rnee horse may bo said to lie nmn-madc. Horses were ail important factor in early nomadic, life, and were cherished by their owners, and the pro gress of civilization, so far from tweaking this bond, lias apparently strengthened it. Tho animal is not now so essential to human welfare and convenience; science lias furnished other means of transporta tion, and is in a fair way to take nil the heavy loads from his back; but in tliu degree that lie censes to lie a mere henst nf burden, lie is transformed into a source nf entertainment nnd pleasure. From a rough and hardy creature, subsisting on nioli rations us chance and convenience might provide, and suffering tile hard ships and hazards of toil and adventure, ho lias gradually evolved into a combina tion of nerves, intelligence and trained muscle, that has but n family likeness to his early progenitors. It differs from them in the same mons- •tire that the American beauty or the La France rose differs from tho little tive- potalcd pink flower that blooms by the roadside. Liko those floral triumphs, lie is a product of scientific culture. It is not chance that lias given liim that pecu liar build, that slenderness and lightness that to tho expert means speed, llis masters have wanted theso developments, nnd they have studied sire and dam and the |iedigrec of each until they could name in advance the qualities of the off spring. And having secured a horse thut lias within him the possibilities of outdo ing liis ancestors, they treat him ns a precious belonging, ns, indeed, lie is. A groom is always in attendance; lie is brushed and combed until his coat is like satin; lie is fed and housed and ex ercised with ns much care for his comfort as for a ohild’rs Royalty itself is not looked after with more solicitude.

The union nron held a nieetmg and decided to dlschargo tlio non-union men, making threat* of various kinds should their demands not be complied-with. A Raleigh special says: Thursday, officers of the Baptlet state convention representing white mieeionary Baptists of North Carolina, made up tbe annual statement. This shows a gain of forty- seven new churches and brings tbe total number up to 1,700. The convention embraces forty-two associations and cov ers all territory oast of Blue Ridge, nnd three counties beyond. Its gain in mem- ship during the year approximates 12,000. Tho monthly report issued by tire commissioner of agriculture of Tennessee shows that the corn yield is only 78 3, as compared with 89.6 per cent, of tho full crop last your. A large portion of the winter wheat crop is late sown, hut tbe prosnecta are for a good stand. Tbo yield of the cotton crop in the state is now placed at 47.3 per cent, of which nearly tbrSe-quartcrs hat been picked. The yield last year was estimated at 72.6 per cent. A Savannah, Ga., special says. The contract of the engineers and firemen employed on the Central railroad system expired at noon Thursday. The men will continue at work until something definite is done. The troublo between the Central and the engineers, firemen and telographers does not aeem any near er a settlement than a week ago, and n strike of at least the telegraphers, if both sides keep up to what they say, ia apparently inevitable. It is announced that a syndicate repre sented by J. W. Soligmin & Co. have purchased tho entiro street railway sys tem of New Orleans for $10,000,000.

Uiea of Wire. A few figures may be cited to illustrate how important a part wire plays in our leading industries and manufactures. The output of coal in Great Britain •lone, which may bo taken at fully 200,- 000,000 tons per annum, is mainly raised by tbe agency of wire ropes. Tbe im portance of carding wire may bo appre ciated from tbe fact that Great Britain’s woolen export trade is worth $27,000,000 per annum. The consumption of wire netting is enormous, and the annual out put in America and Europe of the one item of barbed wire for fencing—a com paratively new adapstation—is estimated to exceed 100,000 tons. The world-wide use of wire for tele- graghic and other electrical purposes is too well known to need comment, one oompany in america owning no fewer than 648,000 miles of their own Bystem. —Chamber’s Journal.
