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 $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.

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.

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.

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 B. H. Edmunds, editor of the Man ufacturers’ Record; J.C- Hemphill, editor of the Charleston (8. C.) News and Courier j John I. Green, the Southern industrial correspond ent of the Times; Thomas P. Gras- ty, Southern correspondent of the Manufacturers’ record; J. E. Mao- Gowan,’editor of the Chattanooga Tradesman; Wallace P. Reed, of the Atlanta Constitution; tbe-ed itor of the Birmingham (Ala.) Age- Herald, and other writers thorough- ly familiar with the eubjeet under consideration. In addition to the regular circu lation of the Times, a large extra 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 obvious that it Is an excellent me dium through which all who are interested In Southern enterprises can reach the very classes who are doing so .much to build np the South. For further Information address the Times, Philadelphia, Pa. Induolng Immigration. Greensboro Herald-Journal. 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 ''jSBBKf Court Y Mtardor.
