Below we present an interview which we doubt not will prove of inter cst to our readers ‘•You have hud a long session," we said : Mi. Reese assented to tills novel statement. "I’o what causa do you mainlv attribute its length ?” • Well,” said lie, "the trouble lies in the immense number of local hills. The giv.tUu part of the time is taken up with legislation of that character. Then the length of these bills is a cause of great delay. It is a common idea wlmre the iiicor|«>ratioii of a small town is Bought, to copy the charter of Atlanta, providing for gas pipes, sew ci age etc. Take the case of the town er Vienna Incorporated st the last ses slon. It took the Clerk, who was a rapid reader, forty-five minutes to read the act of Incorporation from the desk. In addition to this, we meet with an other source of delay in the Conatitil timml provision whicii Manures that all local bills shall orignate only in the House ot Keiiresentfttivcs. None of qhciu can he introducixl in the Senate, "Is there no way to remedy this? " i’liere is. At least, a great deal may he done to improve matters. 1 he hist stej., in my judgment, would I* fo aiiieml the Constitution so as to allow the introduction of local bills in either House. During the last session, the Senate would meet day after day and adjourn after a session of an hour. They were waiting on tlu' House.which was overburdened with work.

It is important in several aspee’s. By tak¬ ing the incorporation of railroads from the legislature we are relieved of a vast amount of time and lalior. 'I he state, of course, w mi l saves a great deal bv it.” lie panned here and indulged in a little self-coi giaitulation. i’lie Pkmo chat, we lielive was the onlv paper in the state which advocated this before its passage. Ilii resumed: •■<!a>aking of railroad legislation, woiilJ like io hear from you about amendment to the lailrmid commission ia w." Li e ;,!•'■ n lim nt wh: h issetl the House, and u h:< u 1 had the honor .-1 preparing, was jn >. pi able to the com mis-: n ami did justice to the ami the nttltonds. It was defeated in the Senate. This MU provided for au atq*;U tom the Commission to the and bad several provisions which in my Jimabmi were an nn jiioveinciit * xi the present law. The Senate passed a bill un tlie the subject * .huh was impracticable in several ie *|>ects. It whs defeated in the House. One <>t ;ts features was a reversal of the decision of the commission io Rule nninljer ten. It was the policy of the House not to interfeare with the decis¬ ions of the commission. For instance the drummers had a bill introduced in regard to extra baggage. The Coin had decided the point, and * mission the lull was consequently defeated. These matters had been placed in their hauls, and we resolved to uphold them. IHiat do you think of tlie legisla¬ tion on educational matters?” I think the Legislature did some useful work on that introduced subject. True, t | 1H Educational bill by the School Commissioner failed to pass,but there were otlier bills which will do gQod The bi| , whjch provides for the turning over to the School Commissioner of the unexpend¬ ed |Hirtioii of the fertilizer tax and the biie of convicts will help matters to some extent, though the amount thus realized will not be groat. .Some think that the sum rfom this source will amount to fifty or sixty thousand dol¬ lars; others that it will not exceed rwenty-five thousand. Then the bill providing for free tuition at the State 1 niyersily was one of great benefit. it passed with a hurrah. The Hout* ""Md have lisen willing to give twen¬ ty instead of two thousand dollars to accomplish this result. The only op¬ position it met with was in the Senate. Senator I[lackett in,.ilea^ spirited Speech 'WH'nst .1 and leterre. to the graduates of the University as “educated vaga lamds. ” The gauntlet was quickly taken up bv Senator Maddox of Elbert, who re¬ plied in one of the ablest Sjieeclies of the session. He alluded to bis own career, stating that he had gone from j,| OV g handle to the University and from the University hack to the plow handle,and had never found that educa Lon was an obstacle in the practical bus¬ iness of life. Ills sfieech was frequent |y interrupted with applause. ft made him reputation, and (have no doubt did much to aid the passage of the bill, •■Can you recall a few other ineaaureN which you consider of special iiuiair taiiee?” Among the first, which occur tome is the act creating a new Circuit, known as the Northeastern, and made up of four counties from the Western anil three from the Blue Ridge circuit. When the Judiciary Committee had I the bill under consideration we had Judge Erwin of the Western circuit j before u*. He said it was impossible to do the work of his circuit. That he held court forty-four weeks last yi ar, and oven then had not furnished the work. Another important bill was one which amended the practice of the fSu prsuie Court. The idea of this bill was to stop the wholesale dismissal of cases on*tecliulcal points. It will do much to shorten litigation by securing the decision of all questians involved upon their merits. Cases will not go back so often, and suitors in the courts wilt iu tins way receive more speedy and sulislautial justice. Among the most notable sets were i.... the fee hilts for sheriffs and clerks of ^ 0 Supei lor Court. They slightly in, ‘ th< ‘ pnsent charges, mid pro V1 ««- a for fees iu certain cases where none existed under the previous laws, ‘lioeleiUs me paid a small per dlent , " 1 attendance during the sessions of i court- These bills were carefully and eluboiately drawn by Msj, McDaniel. 1 mention all those simply as they occur to me without regard to relative impoitance. I might go on and name others equally important. It would take some time, however, to give a full review of the legislation of the last session. The fact that the general Ju diemi.v Committee of tlie House passed ‘‘iwn <>ve hundred and eighty bills will «‘ Vl ‘ >on some idea of our work. Every <>f those lulls was given a fair 1 hearing. No better evideuce of that is needed than the t act that the House 1 • 1 " 1 »«t disagree hut once to the recoui meiidation of the Commi ttee. “You think then that the present legislature is an industrious body?” "Ido. When the laws are publish¬ ed the people of Georgia will see that this legislature is certainly a hard working one. I scarcely think it proper for me to express an opinion as to its ability. I will give vou however, the opinion of Speaker Bacon, of the House He said It is the best House I have ever s( .,. u .” 7'hey have certainly the’state. saved a great deal of money to In my opinion their action was at times unwise, tint on the whole l think the; legislation of tlis List session will rts suit to the benefit of th e state and the satisfaction of the publ ic.
