Atlanta, Nov. 24.—A bill *M introduced in the House to-day in creasing tin number of truiteeaof the Technological school from 6 to 7; requiring that three of thatnum* her shall reside in Atlanta. This Is done to ins ire the attendance of a quorum ah rays at the meetings, A bill was Introduced by Mr, Goodwin, cf Fulton, “for the pro tection of discharged employes and to prevent blacklisting.” The bill makes what is ordinarily known as “blacklisting” a misdemeanor. Mr. Martin, of;Fulton, Introduced a bill "to regulate the number of brakemen on railroad freight trains in this titate,” for the protection of tho lives of railroad employees; requiring -five brakeinmi where there are not in the train three power brak ?s In operation. Another important bill is a gener al temperance measure by Martin, of Fulton. It provides for a dispen sary ("for the sale of alcoholic liq- for medicinal, scientific, and mechanical purposes”) in dry counties that want It. In cities of oyer 1,600 inhabitants, this Is left to the city government; in counties. here there are no cities so large it Is left to the grand Jury. The dispensary contemplated !■ like that now in operation Barnesvllle, Ga., said to be working very satisfactory. A number of local bills were in troduced, or passed, hut none of thorn specially important. THE SENATE. When the roll was called this morning for the introduction of new bills, only three Senators re sponded. Only one of the three bills was of a general nature. That by Sen. Smith of the 28th. It proposes to amend Art. 8 Sco. 0 Par. 1 of the constitution, allowing members of the general assembly $4 a day. It proposes instead to al low a salary of $300; only the speak er of the House aud the president of the Senate being paid per diem. Something In the nature of a sen sation was sprung this morning by SenXlulver, In a resolution about the LunaUo Asylum. It simply authorises the obalman of the Joint oommlttee on Luuatlo Asylum (Ben. Nunnally) to employ an ex pert to ^examine the books of the as/lnmtyr the past twelve months, or longer if necessary. The Investigation is to begin dur ing the visit of the committee to MlUedgeville—Just after the 27th, that is, when the legislature goes there to witness the laying of the oorner-stone of the Girlo Normal end Industrial oollege. 'The resolution,” said Sen. Cul ver, "oarefully avoids charging mal-admtnlstratlon, even by in ference. But there are auoh charges m.ide. The books are loosely kept; and this Immense ap propriation Of over $200,000 Jb ex pended without any account ren dered to the State. • "It Is time sudh an Investigation was had. That is too large a sum to be taken from the treasury and expended in the dark, even by an honest man. The .management of the asylum should be put upou a safer business basis.” The resolution was pas-ed. Another Important action was that concerning the formation of a new Judioial circuit, made up of the ooontles of Polk, Paulding and Haralson; to be known as tho Talla- pooso circuit. It had alre ady beta paised bjtbe House, and It was passed to-day by the Senate. Two candidates for tlpe Judg- shlpare on hand already—Chat. G t Jones, at present Solicitor of "His Excellenoy, Hon. W. J. Northen. Dear Sir:—On the 27th day of December next the present lease of the State road, entered Into between the State of Georgia and the West ern and Atlantic It. R. Co., will ex pire. The claim of the lessees for improvements upon the property and taxes paid In Tennessee, aggre gating (according to the report of the Commissioners to the General Assembly of 1888) about $560,000, remains unadjusted. The lessees believe the claim in Its entirety to be Just. If It should not sll be, a portion of It at least seems to be conceded. There is, therefore, la my J udgment some aotion by the General Assembly advisable In order to prepare the way for an amicable settlement, • The lessees desire In every way possible to avoid any complications which might grow out of a failure to reach, a fair settlement. May we not, therefore, respectfully ask that you invite the attention of the General Assembly to the question, I am, very respectfully, Jos. E. Brown, President. The message was referred to the Senate committee on railroads. A mopibor of the legislature leaves in the morning to get mar ried. This Is Dr. 8. W. Johnson, of Appling county. Hft bride is Miss Mamie Anthony, of Mont gomery county. The oeremohy Is to be performed Thursday, at the residence of the bride's parents, at Spring Hill. BI8HOP BECKWITH. The death of Bishop Beokwlth has cast a gloom over the city, and carried sorrow Into hundreds of homes all over the State. u He will probably be bnried In Atlanta on Wednesday; though the funeral arrangements have not been completed yet. It will be one of the saddest, and one of the most imposing foneral services ever held In Atlanta. COURT CONVENES. A BUSY SCENE IN THE HALLS OF JUSTICE YESTERDAY.

Col. T. M. Norwood came down from Atlanta laat night, and to-day bo hae received an ovation upon the great fight whleh be made. There bus never boon each an exciting political oonteet In tha State ae there waa over the Senator- ehip," he remarked. "And, until Put Calhoun waa annouueed by the ceuoua, I bed the fight in my own hande.
