Atlanta, Deo. 10.—The very ira
portent thing in legislative circles
now Is the Zachry resolution, or
the matter of a commission to arbi
trate the W. and A. betterments
claims.
Tim Recorder published this
morning the majority report in
favor of the resolution.
The minority report was sub
mitted to-day. It will be noticed
that both reports are sigued by six
members of the committee; the one
first submitted being the “major
ity’’ reporl because Senator War
ren, of the 18th, is in favor of it.
He was absent when the report was
drawn, lienee his name does not
appear amougst the signatures.
This is the minority report:
Mr. President: We the under
signed members of the Finance
committee which has had under
consideration “A resolution to cre
ate a commission to consider the
claims between the lessees of the
W. and A. It. It. and the State of
Georgia" beg leave to submit to the
Senate as our reasons for dissenting
to tlie majority report of the com
mittee which was favoruble to the
pasesgeof resolution, the following,
to-wlt:
1st. ilecause we are opposed to
the sovereign State of Georgia en
tering into any arbitration. It is
our desire for the Stale to meet in
candor and fairness all who make
claims upon her and settle witli
them according to the strictest
ruleB of business integrity and not
through the unsatisfactory methods
of au arbitration.
2nd. Ilecause If it be wise to ap
point a commission as provided for
in the resolution reported by the
finance committee, its decision
should not be binding and conclu
sive as to the rights of the parties,
Tlie experience of all governments
lias demonstrated the wisdom of
having surae appellate tribunal for
the final adjudication of causes.
3rd. Ilecause the people of Geor
gia elected this general assembly
with tlie expectation that It would
settle this question intelligently
und with equal fairness and justice
to the Stale and the lessees, and in
our Judgment before it can so Bottle
-the question the general assembly
must know what the Issues are, and
lie placed in full possession of-all
the facts beariog upon those issues.
That this may be done, we believe
that a joint committee should be
appointed and instructed to ascer
tain what Issues, if any, exist be
tween the Siate and the lessees,
and meet the facts thereoD and re-
|K>rt to this general assembly.

THE CAPITOL 0ROUNDS*.
The $18,000 appropriation for the
capitol grounds was passed this
morning in the Senate. It goes
hack to the House for a few minor
amendments, whiob will readily be
adopted, and the resolution Is ready
theu for the governor’s signature.
Senator Joe Terrell, in advocating
the appropriation, called It “black
ing tlie shoes" of the State capi
tol.
Rather a costly “shine,” that Is.
THE LIMIT PA8SED
A resolution was passed In both
Houses to-day, prolonging the ses
sion beyond the forty days limit—
which limit la next Saturday. This
required a two-third vote.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL,
The House Is having • big fight
over the appropriation bill.
First this morning was the ap
propriation of $190,000, recom
mended by (he Finance committee,
for tha Lunatic Asylum. Numer
ous amendments were offered re
ducing the amount. Chairman
Hand,the Asylum committee,
charged that lunatics were revived
there from other States, and that
money had beeq^ot lavishly and
unnecessarily in beantirylng the
grounds.
Humphrey, of - Brooks, charged
that the' apothecary at the asylum
was an habitual drunkard and be-
ll#vW that the salaries paid all tha
®«<ier*!*eje too large.
.JThe tendeney towards nepotism
lit making app- intmenta was
dwelt upon. In fact It was the
bitterest light ever made upon the
asylum. Of course it was defended
on the other band, with equal
warmth.
The appropriation of $190,000 was
theu passed.
Then the fight on the college ap
propriations. Seay, of Floyd,
wanted all the branoh college ap
propriations stricken. Hnm
phrey’s, of Brooks, wanted the
Whole University appropriation
stricken. On the other hand, mo
tion s were made to amend by pro
viding for additional appropria
tions to other branoh colleges yet
to be established.
It was an exciting debate, qpd
the house finally adjourned before
a vote was had,to resume tba.daba.to
at a nigbt session for to-night.
THE ASYLUM AOAIN.
Just before adjournment, Mr.
Sibley, of Cobb, moved the appoint
ment of a committee of ten to in
vestigate the charges against the
management of the lunatic asylum.
This was adopted.

George, of Mississippi, was the
Democratic speaker to-day In oppo
sition to the force bill. The Re
publican seuatois are in caucus at
a late hour to-night, discussing tbe
situation. It 1b generally believed
that the bill will be stde-traebed.
Senator Colquitt has been sick
enough during the week to have a
doctor. He is better to day, and Is
billed for a speech against the force
bill on Friday, If It is not laid aside
by that time.
Two bills Imposing a tax on com

One is the Conger bill.
Hon. I’at Walsh has concluded to

The Consolidated Ticket.
Editor Recorder:—The ticket
for aldermen composed of Messrs.
Bivins, Davenport and Wheatley,
Ib a good selection to represent
every portion of our city.
Leeton promises to be a very val
uable addition’ to our city, and
should have representatives in tbe
City Council, and no better selec
tion than Mr. Bivins could have
been made.
Brooklyn Heights also give fair
promises of being a very attractive
portion of the city, and Mr. Daven
port is a worthy representative of
that section of the city.
Mr. Wheatley comes from the
heart of the city, and will be tbe
only representative of the legal pro
fession ou the new board of aider-
men.
They are all good representative
men and as aldermen their only in
terest will be for tlie best interest
of the city
They are all young men, and to
such, we have to look to keep
Americus moving at the head of
the'eolumn of the growing and pro
gressive cities of the State.

Mr. Scott considers himself for

On the 21st of this month the
Philadelphia Times, an acknowl
edged friend of the South, wilt pub
lish a special Southern edition.
Colonel A. K. McClure, the editor
of the Times, paid the South a visit
a few weeks ago, and he saw many
things In the way of Industrial de
velopment which were a very pleas
ant surprise.
This speolal edition will aontaln
articles on the industrial South. by

In addition to the regular circu

edition will be published to be cir
culated among (he manufacturers
and capitalists In different parts of
the country, many of whom will
be going South to spend tbe winter
and to investigate tha merits of the
different places which offer a good
field for investment. This special
edition of tbe Times will be a sort
of a guide book to them, and It la

In various Southern States, par
ticularly In Georgia and Alabama,
efforts are being made to attract
the attention of farmers of moder
ate means to the soil, ollmate and ,
other advantages of the South.
There can be no question that this
Is on tbe right line.
The farmers of Georgia, for tbe
most part, are burdened with too
much land, and this with the pres
ence of an unreliable system of la.
bor renders farming a risky busi
ness. The great need Is for immi
gration of a reliable, respectable
and thrifty class, natives or for
eigners of small capital and brim
ming over with perseverance and
energy.
We bave frequently contended
that the farmers of Greene county
have long stood In their own way
by their negligenee in endeavoring
to secure this class of Immigrants.
It would- pay them to give away a
portion of their farms in order to
seonre an inflax of industrious and
deserving people.. There isnodonbt
that the labor question In our sec
tion Is one of the most difficult
problems with whleh we have to
deal. We must, sooner or later,
look elsewhere than to the negro as
a farm laborer, and the sooner this
Is done, tbe better.
Tbe immigration alluded to
above meets In a good degree tbla
this point. .Should large farms be
out up and certain portions of them
absolutely deeded to good farmers,
who would obligate themselves to
build on and work them, It would
not be long before the first would
be followed by otheta who would
be willing to pay for tbeir tormf,
and the land owners would, In the
end, secure more for a few screa
than hundreds will now' bring on
tbe market
This Is a subject worthy of con
sideration. The immigration
turned here would quiekly build up
neighborhoods and communities of
thrifty farmers, and the present
farm laborers—who are almost ex
clusively consumers—be supplanted
by Industrious and hard working
producers, with an Interest In the
eounty and actuated with a desire
to add to its progress and pros
perity. . ’ ; * ' %*’
We commend our farmers to a
consideration of this subject, and
should they hut set In concert upon
the lines suggested,. we are confi
dent beneficial results will follow
