House of Representatives, >
Atlanta, Ga., July 14th, 1879. /
Messrs. Editors: It is said of some
eminent divine, that on a very warm Sab
'hath morning he appeared on the rostrum
and shocked the moral sensibilities of his
congregation by commencing his sermon
in the following manner :“It is hot—it is
d—nhot!” After pausing a moment he
brought relief to the outraged feelings of
his spiritual minded audience by continu
ing :_*• such was the irreverent remark 1
heard made at the door as I entered church
this morningand proceeded to preach
an able sermon on the evil of profanity.
We have no doubt but that clerical gentle
man, were he in this city during this
almost unparalleled period of excessive
heat could find plenty of such texts. 'I he
hot weather, dusty streets, parched and
burning fields, all combine to produce
sighs that the (liver of all good will again
** visit His plantation ” and bless us with
a “glorious rnin.”
The General Assembly went through n
hot week’s work, and in view of the bad
ventilation of the Hall, the members dc- j
serve credit for the very faithful manner
in which they keep their scats and attend j
upon the duties of legislation. The
week’s work just ended has not given j
finality to any legislation, being occupied
in forwarding along the business in a gene
ral Way and the introduction of new bills,
most of them of n local and special char
acter. The following presents a meagre
synopsis the acts and doings of the
body: ...
In the Senate Monday the majority and
minority reports of the wild land commit
tee were received and read. ou have
doubtless read these reports. They show
that a wild and ruinous ring swindling has
been holding high carnival ; that the Comp
troller-General has, through a misunder
standing of the law. been instrumental in
allowing this confused and troublesome
state of affairs to be produced. The report
states that all the transfers of wild land j
tax 11. fas. were illegal, the settlements j
made of the same by the sheriffs also ille- :
gal. and recommend the adoption of a res
olution declaring all sales made under the
same null and void. In the House, the j
same report was received. A motion was j
made to reconsider the action of the House j
with regard to preventing banks, Ac., from
violating the usury laws, which prevailed, j
The two reports with regard to referring
local bills to the committee on local and
special hills were taken up. and after con
siderable discussion the minority report
was adopted. This provides that local and
special bills he referred by a two-thirds
vote of tile House on each bill. Tuesday,
the Senate passed the House bill requiring
constables to sell property on regular
court days. Also, a bill allowing defend
ants in distress warrants to defend in ftor
nut pauperis. This bill embodies the same
provision as one we introduced in the
House laat winter, and we think it will go
through. In the House a motion was
made to reconsider the action in adopting
the minority report on local and special
hills. The motion was laid on the table.
The bill to repeal the act establishing the
Agricultural bureau came up for a third
reading, and considerable discussion pre
vailed, lasting until the hour of adjourn
ment. Wednesday, in the Senate the roll
was called for the introduction of new
matter. A resolution was introduced de
claring that the Senate had no constitu
tional authority in the matter of the inves
tigation of the Governor in signing the
Northeastern R. It. bonds. The coimnit
tco report on the subject was recommitted.
In the House, upon the commencement of
roll call for introduction of bills, the ques
tion as to the calling of the yeas and nays
on the motion or icsolution to refer to
committee arose, and after considerable
debate a resolution was adopted declaring
that the constitution did not require the
veas and nays on a resolution of that char
acter. Pending the call of counties, the
House adjourned. Thursday, in the Sen
ate the resolution declaring ilio Senate had
no authority in the investigation of the
Governor was discussed, and the commit
tee report laid on the table to await the ac
tion of the House. In the House, the
whole session was taken in discussing the
bill to abolish the Agricultural Bureau.
Hon. J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, made a
characteristic speech, receiving the close
attention of the House mid holding the
floor until, tlie hour of adjournment, lie
is perhaps the largest farmer in the House,
and takes strong ground against the Bu-
ream claiming tliat the farmers will got
along better when relieved of the burdens
of all the bureaus, than to continue them
at the cost of high taxation. Friday, in
the Senate, after going through with the
business before it, and being fully up with
its business it adjourned until to-day. In
the House, Friday and Saturday was con
sumed in calling the roll of counties for the
introduction of new matter. The Clerk's
desk was Hooded with local bills. About
three days were consumed in reading the
titles and taking the vote of reference. If
each bill has to lie read three times, some
idea can be formed as to the time that will
be required for local bills alone. Inu ob
serve that a compromise has been effected
between the majority and minority gentle
men of the Northeastern investigating
committee. The report as agreed upon
contains in substance : that the proof tails
to show that the Governor participated in
the Murphy fee. and however legal or ille
gal the transaction tlie Governor was actu
ated by pure motives. The report after
thus viiuticating the Governor's motives
and conduct, leaves the motives and con
duct of Mr. Murphy out of it altogether.
There is one fact underlying all these in
vestigation?. reports, vindications, &c..
that Georgians should regret—and that is
that such a complication of circumstances
or of accidents should produce a necessity
for investigating departments of the gov
ernment. in order to ascertain whether or
not corruption prevails. The great State
-of Georgia deserves to have a government
•without stain and without reproach and so
pure in all its departments and workings
as to stand aloft, above the breath of sus
picion. With all our boasted greatness,
and with all our pride of character, history
and fame, it is lamentable, yet tr*f. that
an impartial observer cannot look upon us
and s>av that such a condition ol things ex
ists. More anon. A. G. McC.

Elberlon closed doors last week to pray
for rain. >Vc sincerely trust their prayers

sons who have visited Elbert county say
that the drouth has been much more dis

hope, however, their estimates have been
exaggerated. If things should be as rep
resented, now is the tune when the E. A.
L. R. 11. will act well its part. A rail
road is a great blessing, whatever croakers
may say to the contrary.
Sparta Tshmaelitc : We venture to sug
gest to those whose corn crops have been
cut short by the drouth, to go in for a
heavy crop of peas. It will not be too late
for a week or two yet, to plant peas with
almost a certainty of a good yield. The
pea crop is an invaluable one in this sec
tion. We would be glad to know that it
would come into still greater prominence
in the near future. Put in peas, gentlemen,
and try to fill up the gaps made by the late
drouth in the corn crop.
Sparta Ishmaclitc : A little child of Mr.
George Minton spit from bis mouth, after
a severe spell of coughing, one day last
week, a brass top off the handle of a para
sol. It had been exactly three years and
ten months since the child had. as was sup
posed. swallowed it. During all this time
the little fellow had been a constant but
patient sufferer, as the brass top. which
was something in the shape of a ring, was
closely titted over the wind-pipe. The
child is now perfectly relieved.
Atlanta Constitution : If there is any
serious desire on the part of the members
of the General Assembly to abolish the
Agricultural Department, they will discov
er that they are making a mistake. The
farmers are not to be blinded by the un
reasoning opposition to this department
I that has made itself manifest in the ! cgie
lature. As an evidence of the feeling
among the people, we inay refer to the ac
t in of the citizens of Carroll county The
I farmers of that section deem the question
to he of so much importance, and they are
i so unanimously in favor of continuing the
Agricultural Bureau, that they assembled
in mass meeting in Carrollton last Satur
day and gave expression to their views,
their action was based upon the fact set
forth in the preamble to their resolutions
that Hon. Enoch Phillips, one of their rep
resentatives. has expressed himself in favor
of the pending bill to abolish the Agricul
tural Department. In these resolutions
they not only instruct their representa
tives. but require them to use their influ
ence to defeat the bill. A few such meet
ings as this on the part of the people would
save much useless discussion.
Oglethorpe Echo : Mr. Hill’s convicts,
in passing through Lexington, halted and
rested until the cool of the evening. They
are chained two and two and marched
afoot. He has twenty-three in his gang—4
white men and 19 negroes. They all look
well fed and contented. During their stay
here Mr. Hill bought them a drink apiece
and had a good dinner prepared. The
time of two of these convicts had expired,
hut they liked the place so well that they
re-liire<l to the lessee for standing wages.
Any one to see Mr. Hill’s squad would at
once banish from his mind nil that sickly
sentiment engendered by those would-be
philanthropists. They marched through
town singing at the top of their voice and
carrying on their shoulders a strny negro
that had unthoughtedly come within reach.
Oglethorpe Echo : The protracted drouth
still continues with no visible signs of rain.
Vegetation is parched, upland corn ruined
past redemption, gardens burned toacri-p,
cotton stunted and rapidly failing, and the
whole county seems tottering on the rag
ged edge of starvation. Rains from now
on would save lowground and late corn,
and a small cron of cotton would be made,
but thoughts or even an average crop are
banished. Nearly cverv evening threat
ening clouds appear, hut an east wind
comes up and they are scattered. This
was exactly the case in 184A. W e lirmly
believe a total failure of our crops is highly
propable. and the sooner our farmers ac
cept the situation and prepare to meet it
the better. There is no danger of a famine
with our railroad communication, hut it
will throw our planters dreadfully behind.
Toccoa Herald : It is rumored that J.
J. Turnbull, of Banks, speaks of moving
to Toccoa. That is why he said Toccoa
was “ dead, damned and delivered.” We
have no doubt hut what it would eventual
ly get to that point if lie were permitted to
run the affairs of the town. Toccoa would
welcome the advent of no one who speaks
of her in this manner. But when the town
that Jim hails from is taken into consider
ation. it is not any wonder that he should
he jealous of Toccoa’s future prosperity.
Bah ! Y'ou are powerless to benefit or in
jure our city by anything you could say,
so blaze away.
The Waynesboro Herald gives the par
ticulars of a remarkable shooting affair
One tiny last week two children, about 8
years of age, boy and girl, became involv
ed in a quarrel, on one of Judge Corker s
places, when the girl whipped the boy.
The latter not satisfied with the turn af
fairs had taken, repaired to a closet in the
room where a pistol was kept, and taking
the weapon, fired upon the girl, the ball
taking effect in her left eve. producing death
in about two hours. The coroner's jury
rendered a verdict of manslaughter; but
on account of the youthfulness of the party
no arrest was made.
Letter from Cobb.
Roswell, Cobh County. Ga., \
July 6th, 1879. /
Messrs. Editors : The good people of
Roswell and vicinity bad a rousing big
time on the 4th instant. Ilad a Sunday
school and Good Templar's picnic. We
had good music, good speaking, and good
grub, and these are things that everybody
likes, especially the grub. When we got
to the grounds there was already assem
bled a large crowd. The young ladies and
gentlemen gave us some good songs which
made us all feel happy. Then Col. S. VV.
Smalls, of the Atlanta Constitution, gave
us a speech on Sunday-schools and Tem
perance Reform. Col. Smalls is a young
man of talent and a fine talker. He made
a speech of some two hours' length, and if
he had talked three hours, everybody
would have thought the time short. His
speech was replete with sound logic, and if
the Colonel lives, he will one day stand
high on the ladder of fame. Wo all said in
our hearts. •* Long live the Colonel.” Wc
quit the feast of the soul to refresh the
physical man on the good things the
noble people of Roswell bad prepared for
us. Here we all did our duty. After din
ner, we reassembled at the stand, and had
more music and more speaking from the
best talent of the conntry. Your humble
correspondent (Old Man) was called on to
close the exercise by making a temperance
speech, and we could have made a fine
speech had we only known how. We did
the best we could, and everybody went
home happy, saying in their souls. ••We
are glad wo were at the Roswell picnic.”
Old Man.
P. S.—Wc got home on the night of the
3d inst., from a flying trip through Chero
kee and Spaulding counties. The crop pros,
pect in these counties is very fine. We
were pleased to see a large portion of the
land planted in corn, and it is lookingyery
fine. We saw some fine patches of millet.
This is as it should be—farmers making
their supplies at home. The crops in this
(Cobb) and Milton county are very good.
We had a fine rain one week ago to-day.
A Word fo the Farmers of Hart County.
Brother Farmers : As wc are nearly
done with our crops and the prospect is
gloomy for food for man and beast, I would
suggest the propriety of each farmer spend
ing one weok in preparing shelters for his
cattle, if lie has none ; for several reasons,
viz : Ist. One-half the food usually fed to
cows without shelter will keep them in
butter order when sheltered. 2d. I think
humanity demands that wo should shelter
the cow when we expect her to feed our
babes. Is it not cruel to see (be poor cow
in cold and sleety weatlier with her back
humped up like a spur of the Rocky Moun
tains) 1 Surely it is. I often think she
ought to say to us, ” Why hast thou treat
ed me thus ?” Reason, then. When the
cow is tvell cared for she gives more milk
and decidedly better quantity. There is
nothing you can spend a few days to better
advantage at than preparing to protect the
dumb brute from the cold winter blasts,
as the winters are getting more severe
every year. More anon.
