The senate decided not to recon-’ sider yesterday’s action in the encamp ment matter by a yea and nay vote of 23 to 18.. The honse was engaged almost its en tire session in hearing local bills read. The railroads were punched a little, though, by the legislators. A bill to regulate the rates of passage, limiting the price to 2 cents a mile, was introduced by-Mr. Sibley of Cobb. Mr. Hill of Meriwether had read a bill to allow the party aggrieved by excessive freight charges to receive from the rail road company a penalty of (500. Mr. Etheridge of Houston—A bill requiring railroad companies to furnish to the con signor, within thirty days after notice, evidence establishing on which connect ing road freight was lost or damaged. The sensation of the day, however, was this resolution by Mr, Lewis, of Hancock, which was referred to the proper committee. The opinion is that the resolution will have a strong back ing. It reads: Whereas, The existing lease of ths-Geoigla railroad of thi. shite lo the Central rallrcsd of Georgia and the LSK. railroad compa nies; and the lease of the Central railroad and Its branches to the Gwrglit Pacific rail road, and the lease of the Georgia Pacific to the Richmond Terminal company, or other corporation. Is In violation of the plain pro visions In the constitution or Georgia. Therefore be it Resolved, By the house, anu the senate concurring, that the governor la hereby di rected to require the attorney-general to take proper eteps to seenre the cancellation of such base contracts. Be It further Resolved, That unless such base contracts are revoked and cancelled by the' railroad companies so leased, within six months of the passage or this resolution, that their charters ^mand the cams are hereby re voked. W ’ Mr. Lewis also sent up a bill to pro vide for the redemption of real estate sold by a sheriff. A bill to relieve insolvent debtors. The bill proposes to relieve by his peti tion to the judge of the superior court asking the judge to appoint a receiver and take charge of all of his property. When this is done he is discharged. He is entitled to (300 exemption. Mr. Lewie also had read this morning abill to make the first term of the su perior court the trial term, when no plea is filed. Another bill is to discour age the bringing of frivolons while still another ii a biU transferring misdemeanor cases from the enperior to the county courts, and providing for a.full panel of jurymen to select a jury from*, as is now in force In the superior court. The speaker announced the following new member! on the committee Wre- dlstrlct the state: Kemp, Baldwin, Sears, Atkinson, Broadnax, Barrett, Ta tum, Lewis, Witzell, Harris of Washing ton. With the exception of the vote on the encampment matter, nothing of interest was done In the senate. Racy Developments.

Mr. G.W. Glover called the meeting to order by nominating Mr. Uriah B, Har- rold for chairman of the meeting. _ That gentleman was elected, and Mr. 8. C. Cooper was ehosen secretary. A call of the roll showed that 11,069] shares of stock were represented in the meeting. Then business was begun. Treasurer and General. Accountant S. C, Coopet made his report, which was Indeed a flattering one in view of the fact that the road has been continually making an immenso outlay in the way of improvements and extensions and the further fact that the west end of the road as now used was not opened for business but little ra6re than half the time. From that report these figures are taken: Earnings 1890 1240,M0 S7 Expenses 1ST0 i . —■ 128,6177 Net earnings 1890 1111,019 17 Earnings MM.’. f487,87*21 Expenses 1891 ..... 282,43241 ..<208,41881 Net earnings ISU 1891, less <111,64317 Increase-earning 1891 over 1890 < 93,800 84 These figures need to chart to explain them. They tell of a prosperous year In the course of which the net earnings of the year before were almost doubled.

He called attention to the fact that they had been working to complete the road to Montgom ery. in a time when the finan cial conltion was unfavorable, and when there were many obstacles and difficulties to overcome. These, he explained had been met and he told bow the road was In a fair way to he completed to Montgomery In a short time. Speaking of the bridge across the Chattahoochee, President Hawkins said that the work on It is progressing hloely. ft will be a steel bridge built at Wllmlnj^on, Helawnrcr It baa now gone to the river and a crossing will be made over the river with as little delay as possible. He said a market was found for the bonds,whioh are con- tlnually being placed and that the work on the western extension will get through closely in time. He said that sixty acres of land had been secured in Montgomery for terminal facilities, whioh will give ample .room for yards, that being the old fair grounds, and that a place for a freight depot had been se- cured as elose to the business part of the city a* that of any other road. A contracthaa been made with tbe L. A N. for 8., A. A M. trains to go Into the union passenger depot. President Hawkins said the business of the road demanded new depots at Abbeville and Lumpkin.

Wadley, Go., July 9.—A citizen of Wadley who heard Tom Watson’s speech at Kite on last Saturday says tbe manner In which Watson criticised Amos Cummings’ letter on Anderson- viile left an unpleasant Impression of Judge Crisp.

Watson was outspoken In opposition to Jndge Crisp for sp.eaker,say!ng ho op posed Barnes because he did not accept the St Leuit platform and It would bo inconsistent for him to support Judge Crip.
