By the original act section 7, the said Street Railroad company is authorized to convey upon the lines either passengers or freights, subject to the approval of the Mayor and Aldermen of said city. By section 5 of the act, the said company is prohibited from lying steam engines upon its lines of without the consent of tho city council of Columbus. By section 2 of the proposod bill, it is sought tobmend the original 7th section so as to en able tha company to use their street railway for the transportation of freights, etc., indepen dent of tho consent of the Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Columbus, and the street railway company is authorized in the same manner to run their line of road through any part of the commons of said city of Columbus, tuid to oonnect with any of the several railroads now btfilt or which may bo bailt to or from said Section 10 of the original Act the charter is continued in force for thirty years, and by Section 3 of tho proposod Act to amend the charter is renewed ana revived for the term of fifty years; and it is prescribed in addition that the franchise shall not be withdrawn without full compensation to the stockholders therein. I would, therefore, respectfully invite the attention oPyour honorable body to tho qnes- tion as to whether it is wise to thus grant au thority to a corporation to ran steam loco- nffitivea to cany freights on a street railway to be laid at their option, and operate entirely independent of tho municipal government within which its operations are to be conduct ed ; and, also, os to the propriety of restrict ing the General Assembly from the repeal of an Aet granting this franchise “without full compensation to the stockholders therein,” unless the manner in which such compensa tion shall be ascertained bo prescribed in the Act which carries with it this prohibition.

He has written a long let- er to Attorney General Akerman, in which that high official is taken severely to task for having ventured to characterize the doctrines of secession and State sovereignty as. perni cious. His letter sounds more liko the attempt of some ardent Southerner in 1860, who was endeavoring to convince the people of the le gality of soceeion, than the effusion of one who has taken a prominent part in a bloody straggle brought about for tho settlement of the question.

Massage from the Senate announcing that the Senate had passed tho following bills : A bill to incorporate tho Peoplo's Bank of Macon. Also, a bill to amend a bill to authorize his Excellency, the Governor, to borrow a suffi cient amount of money on the credit of the State, on such terms as to him shall seem best, to pay off the membera and officers of the General Assembly, approved August 27,1870. Mr. SMITH, of Chariton, introduced a reso lution, which was read, to allow the importa tion of agricultural seeds and implements free of duty. On motion of Mr. BETHUNE tho bill to de clare tho Poll tax of this State, for tho years 1868, 1869 and 1870, yet uncollected, illegal, and prevent tho collection of the same, and the report of the Committee of Privileges and Elections thereon, were made the special order for 11 o'elock a. if. this day. Mr. BETHUNE advocated tho pesasge of tho bOl on the ground that the poll tax conld not be collected until a common school sys tem was inaugurated, and that it was uncon stitutional to collect said tax until the school system was established. Mr. HARPER of Terrell opposed the bill on the ground that it was unconstitutional to stop tha collection of the poll tax, as provided for in tha Constitution. Mr. Harper moved to indefinitely postpone the whole matter. Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes favored the pas sage of the bill, laying down as a legal propo sition, that the establishment of a pnblic school system was a condition precedent and must bo fulfilled before the poll tax could be legally oolleoted. Mr. PHILLIPS opposed the bill on the ground that it was in conflict with the consti tution of the State, arguing that the constitu tion went into effect in 1868, that the bill for the collection of the tax was pasted in 1868. and the tax was partially woUocteam the years 1868,1869 and 1870, and the balance of the citizens who had not paid it oould not be ex empted; he was clearly of the opinion that the bill was unconstitutional Mr. TURNER favored the bill, saying that he believed the collection of the tax was illegaL Mr. ANDERSON opposed the bill and ex pressed bis regrets that this bill had been introduced, and argued at length against its passage—saying that if this bill passed in justice they would be compelled to refund the poll tax that had already been collected, and thus sweep away two hundred and fifty thousand dollars now on hand for the estab- lishmeut of the Pnblio School System. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Morgan, called the previous qnession. On the motion to indefflnetly postpone the bill, the call was sustained. On the motion to indeffinctly postpone, the vote stood—yeas 53, nays 44, so the motion to postpone prevailed. Mr. BELL from.tho Committee on Finances made tho following report to-wit: Tho Com mittee on Finanoe have had under considera tion the following bill which they recommend A bill to provide means for the equipment Of the Western and Atlantic Railroad.

Draji Sms: During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and China, I found your Vegeta ble Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fear- fill scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine I found, it most ef fectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fif teen minutes begin to give about a teaspoonfol of toe same mixture every few minutes until relief wss ob tained. Apply hot applications to the extremities.— Bathe the stomach with toe Pain Killer, clear and rub toe limbs briskly. Of those who had the cholera, sad took the medidno faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Truly yours, B. TELFORD. If attacked with the Diarrhcea, Dysentery, Cramp, Colic, don't delay tho use of the Pain Killer. Dear Sirs: During a long residence In Chins Z have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in my own fam ily and among the Chinese, and have found it a most excellent medidne. In toe summer of 1882 and *83, whilo residing in Shanghai, I found It an almost cer tain cure for cholera. If used in time. Indeed, using it In a great many instances, I do not remember fail ing in a single case. For three years I have been re siding in this place, more than fifty miles from a phy sician, and have been obliged often to fill upon my resources in cases of sickness. The Chinese eomo to us in great numbers for medidno and advice.— Though without medical knowledge ourselves, toe few simple remedies ws esa command «o mnekia ad vance even of their physicians, that we havo almost daily applications. We allow them to corns, because it brings us in contact with them, and opens a door of usefulness.
