Tim IIOUiSR.
Monday, Nov. 2d,—Mr. Osborne, ot
Chatham, has dug tip the hatchet and
put on his war paint against, tin. Sa
vannah Morning A 'art. Tlio attack
upon the paper, although unexpected,
was salty and to tlio point. During
tlio morning the house was flooded
with copies of the News, each con
taining n marked article in regard to
a bill now pending before the house
introduced by Mr. Doolan, of Chat
ham, the same being a bill to change
the regulation laws of Savannah. The
article charged the Chatham Delega
tion with haste and unfairness in put
ting the bill through the house. Mr.
Osborne sent to the clerk’s desk the
following privileged communication,
which was read: “I desire to
stato that the charge of un
fairness and undue haste contained in
a copy of the Morning A ’oil's, now on
tho desks of tlio members, iH absolute
ly false. The course given the bill in
question was tlio result of a conference
had with the chairman of the com
mittee appointed to come to Atlanta
and confer with us in reference to tho
same. The said chairman waa prompt
ly notified by our action in reference
to the bill, and ample time aff-
ol’dod him to make objection and
secure a re-committal, if so desired
A number of new bills were then in
troduced. An important bill in the
interest of free and honest labor and
manufacturers giving employment to
such labor, was introduced by Mr.
Martin, of Fulton. It ia a bill pro
viding for tho lnboliug of all merchan
dise sold in this state and manufactur
ed in any penitentiary, reformatory
or other places where convict labor is
employed. There was considerable
dismission over the bill of Mr. Thomp
son, of Madison, to amend tho act
authorizing pensions to tho con federate
widows of tho state. Tho law as it now
stands provides that a woman to draw
tho pension roust hIioiv that sho is tho
widow of a confederate soldier who
died from tho effects id' wounds receiv
ed during tho war. The bill of Mr.
Thompson was to change this law so ns
to allow any woman to draw a pension
hereafter if she proved that sho was
the wifoof a soldier during tho war, and
that she waa his wife at his death, pro
vided that his death was caused by
wounds received during tho war.
There was much opposition to tho hill
and it was lost upon the final vote,
only fifi voting for it and 25 against it,
Tho bill of Mr. Walton of Stewart to
pay election mfttiagoi'H and clerks was
passed by substitute. Mr. Walton’s
bill provided that all election man
agers should be paid #2,00 a day in gen
eral eleotions nnd in county oleo-
tions to fill vacancies, und that all
clerks at county sites should bo paid
$1,50 a day, and clerks serving else
where should bo paid $1.00 a day.
Tho committee to which tho bill was
referred sent in n substitute for it that
all election managers and clerks shall
be pnid for tho services, the sum to bo
fixed by tho county commissioners.
The house passed . this bill almost
unanimously.
Tubjdav, Nov. 21—Tho house ot
representatives v as in a talking humor
Tuesday morning. It seemed that ev
erybody wanted talk on everything
that came up. Teachers’ institutes
in Georgia in which those who instruct
children in tho common schools are
taught how to tench came in for a good
roasting fi mu many of the members.
The discussion which brought on the
roasting came up over a bill by Air.
Wilcox of Coi’so to abolish tho county
teachers in institutes belli monthly and
yearly. After the third reading of tho
bill and u longthly discussion, tlio bill
was lost by a vote of 80 to 57. Mr.
Wilcox gave notice that ho would move
for a reconsideration Wednesday. An
other discussion came up on the bill of
Mr. Thompson which was lost, Monday.
It is a bill to pension tho widows of
soldiers who have died since the pen
sion act passed or who may die here
after, when it can be shown that she
was his wife during the war and at his
death, and that bis death was caused
by wounds received during tlio war.
Air. West moved a reconsideration.
There was a long discussion, but when
a vote was taken the bill was reconsid
ered, to come up again at some future
time. Air. Martin, of Fulton, having
given notice of reconsideration of Mr.
Osborne’s bill, passed Monday, moved

sion bill was disposed of. It. is a bill

ties in the stato fur drainage pur
poses, tlmt is to give ail counties the
right to have drains placed anywhere

tion of tlio owners. Tho bill was re
