CORPORATIONS IN OPEN REBELLION Atlanta, Nov. 50.—A sensation vras created in tho house of representatives at the night session by the introduction by Mr. Bacon, of Bibb county, a set of resolutions, in tho nature of a memorial to congress upon all of the important lines of legislation which will bo up be fore that body during tho coining session. The fact that tho author will be a can didate before tho legislature for United SStates senator when tho time comes for tho next election, leads many to conjoct- 3iro that the resolutions offered by him self will also servo as the platform upon nako hi which ho body. It is this fact that gives them especial prominence, aside fropi the subject mat ter they contain, and tlioir introduction did croato a real sensation. Major Bacon's Platform. The resolutions in full are as follows: The senate and house of representatives of the state of Georgia, not assuming to usurp the functions of those upon whom is laid tho duty of federal legislation, but exercising nevertheless the privilege, sanc tioned by time-honored custom, of express ing their views upon those matters within federal control which intimately affect the well-being, the prosperity and tho happi ness of the people, do 1.

The press generally denounces tho for eigners in tho efty, accusing them of sympathy with the insurgents. Tho government inspires the semi-official press to misrepresent the action of for eign diplomats and commanders of for eign war vessels and to assert that they favor tho insurgents. These charges are groundless. Tho intrigues of tho Brazil ian ministers in Europe to induce the various European governments to recall their Representatives in Rio do Janeiro deserve to ho regarded only with con tempt. Merchants hero complain bitterly of heavy losses through stoppage in trade. Insurgent leaders met last Saturday and decided to make no immediate pro clamation of a monarchy, but to wait and allow the majority to decide tho question. If tho revolution succeeds tho majority will-favor a restoration of tho empire, with tho Duke Grand Para as emperor. The insurgents have resolved not to bombard tho city unless the government’s city batteries fire on the ships. Tho English flag is constantly fired upon from the shore. A senior officer of tho fleet reports that one of the govern ment batteries had shelled a launch fly ing a white ensign and containing a com missioned officer and crew. The British minister has sent a protest to tho Bra zilian government against this proceed- untry. and :it and inevitable ues of property: •ii based upon the confidence inued existence of both gold oin as the moneys of final priy- hich their debts must be dis That wo hold that {hero should be no limit to the coinage of either gold or silver by the government which would lie less than the product of gold and silver mines within the United States: and that in the vast territory of this country, with its rapidly increasing development and with its great population and their widely ex tending business, there is ample field for the absorption and legitimate use of all such gold ami silver coinage in the busi ness demands which will be thus laid upon it. 4. That in ulging in no spirit of criti cism, but on the contrary recognizing the honest differences of opinion which have existed upon this most vital issue, and looking solely to the future and the mo mentous consequences which wait upon ♦he action of congress in this regard, we invoke at the hands of those upon whom is laid the responsibility of its decision, the speedy determination of the future equality of both gold and silver coin as the money of final payment, to the end that the future prosperity and develop ment of the country may be assured. f>. That we hold it to be the constitu tional right of the several states to enact, their own banking laws by which banking corporations within tlieir liorders shall lie empowered to issue bank bills for circula tion among their people for tho necessary transaction of business: and that there is no constitutional right in the general gov ernment to lay upon the states a prohibi ts restrict, regulate or control the exercise of such right. it. That we hold that the national bank ' law, which gives to such banks exclusively the right to issue bank bills, and prohibits loans to be made by them upon real estate as a security, and practically denies to the states the right to charter banks of issue by which loans could l»e made upon real estate as a security, is a gross injustice to the large class Of our citizens whose prop erty consists chielly-in real estate. t! That we hold that taxation, whether direct or indirect, is only justified ns a paeans of raising revenue for the support of the government, and that, therefore, customs duties should Ik* laid for the pur- pose of revenue only. 8. That we favor the imposition by the general government of an income tax which shall be so graduated that the chief Imrden. shall be laid upon large incomes exceeding the amount required for an or dinary comfortable living. O. That we request our senators and representatives in congress, by their votes and influence, to endeavord a make effect ive the principles herein declared, by leg islation to be enacted by the congress of the United States. The firing of heavy guns from the government forts proved disastrous to tho insurgent war ship Javary on Wed nesday. A shot struck her and started the plates in her fore compartments. A leak resulted, which caused tho vessel to list to starboacd. Three hours after wards tho vessel foundered, head fore most. The water reached the boiler rooms and an explosion followed. All tho crew were saved. The sinking of the Javary is a serious loss to the insur gents. Pleased with the New Bill. London, Nov. 30.—The St. James Ga zette is not greatly pleased with the new tariff bill; yet it admits that the bill 3hows signs that Mr. Cleveland is pre pared to fulfil his promises, and there is no question that it will prove a great re lief to trade. Continuing, The St. Jame3 Gazette says: “All through the bill car^is-taken to leave tho American pro ducer with tho differential duty in liis favor completely.” Only Waiting for Extradition. London, Nov. 30.—William Scheig and Philip Floyd, who are wanted by the police of Minneapolis on the charge of robbing tho Bank of Minneapolis of $93,000, were again brought up at the Bow Street police court and were re manded. The papers necessary to bring about the extradition of the* prisoners have arrived from the United States, but they are still in the foreigu office. Columbia, Nov. 30.—Tho menage of tho governor, real before the general assembly, is one of tho most remarkable public documents ever published in South Carolina. Governor Tillman deals with his sub- I ject3 in the vigorous style characterise j of the man, and some of his arraign- j ments are of the most scathing nature, j Referring to United States Circuit ! JudgeSimonton’s decisions a? to railroad j taxes and receiverships, the governor da- i dares that those cases have been passed 1 upon in a manner that must excite the i alarm and resentment of every lover of i liberty and justice; that tho sovereignty of tho state lias been disregarded and destroyed, and a preferred class of tax payers created with special privileges. The supreme court decided in tho state’s favor as to the taxing of roads that ware not in the hands of receivers; but unfor tunately, tho message say3, moro than half the roads in the stato are in tho hands of receivers. Under the laws of South Carolina, taxes f.ro a preferred lien, and tho receiver should not have been given precedence over the older and hitherto undisputed right of tho stato to collect taxes in its own way. Commenting on the expressions of tbo chief j ns Lice tho governor says they make an excuse for allowing the receiver to resist payment of taxes and paralyze the state government, and declares that it is “a monstrous and tyrannical stretch of authority in him to claim that tho col lection of taxes on property in the hands of a receiver is an interference by the executive with the judiciary.-” The governor declares that the unholy alliance of court and receiver has wrought such injustice and wrong that it is a stench in the nostrils and cries aloud for correction; that the court knew better, but was resolved to protect the roads. The governor declares that Alex ander Hamilton and John Marshall were old fogies, not to be mentioned breath with Judj tiou Allege Perjury of the Jury. —The cecond trial of ex-Detective Daniel Coughlin for the murder of Dr. Philip Patrick Henry Cronin on May- 4. 1339, was interrupted by a rumor that two or more of tho jurymen had been “fixed.” Tho story is that three members of tho jury will bo rejected and their immediate arrest and trial for perjury ordered. The evidence in the possession of the state shows that these three men are on the jury in Dan Coughlin’s interest. During the examination preceding their acceptance as jurors alT the venire men testified under oath that did not know the accused or the friends o? tho accused, and m general were densely ignorant of the Cronin murder or tk.> revelations mado in tho celebrate 1 trial subsequent to it. Theso statement State’s Attorney Kern now knows to ..; false. In tho cases of theso three men Mr. Kern says he will show that they are not only thoroughly conversant with the case, but are and have been associates or intimates of many of tho men impli cated in the crime. In testifying falsely in the examine : tious theso men committed deliberate | par jury, it is said, in order that they | might obtain places on the jury and save i Dan Coughlin’s neck, j Slato’s Attorney Kern said: “I will ex pose a plot to tamper with tho jury. Wo have reliable information affecting at least two and perhaps four members of the jury. I will ask for the rejection of theso men before the case goes to trial."” “Is your proof strong enough?” “Amply so. We .will convince tho court that bribery has again been re sold ed to.” “What will you do towards punishing tho offenders “After tho guilty men are ejected from the jury by the judge I will probably ask for their Indictment by the grand jury and try to send them to Joliet.” “Who are tho guilty men?” “I cannot tell you. You must wait until their nanies are announced in court.” Revival of Industries fielding Back'Some. •liZILY REPORT. j New You:;, Nov. 27.—R. G.

The Vatican also denies that there is any truth in the alarming reports circu lated about tho popo’s health. A Betrothal Is Imminent. London, Nov. 30.—The Times is in formed, on excellent authority, that the betrothal of tho czarewich of Russia to Princess Helene, of Orleans, is imminent. Drowned in the Street. New Orleans, Nov. 30.—Sunday night's rainstorm was one of the most severe that has visited this city in years. In a few minutes the streets were over- flooded in every section of the city, and the drainage pumps were unable to cope with the elements. People moved about in skiffs in many parts of the city, and the principal streets were in some places a foot under water. Jean Lahitte, a Frenchman,%vho arrived in this city from his native land four days ago, was found drowned on Claiborne street, one of the principal streets of the city, when the water went down in the morning. A Grand Culmination. Chicago, Nov. 30.—Tho Chicago Bul letin says: “The culmination of one of the greatest railroad trades known to New England for years appears to he at hand, and it is announced that a combination'' of the most far- reaching character, a trade which i means the consolidation of the leading Wincnl tho Champion Wing Shot. •ISDIASAIOUS, Not. 80.—E.

SO.—In the Raleigh, Nov. 30.—Loodell & Co., of I outskirts of this place the house of Rieh- Wilmington, Del., who have arranged * ard Montford was burned.

It is no wonder, then, he says, that there have been maladministration, pecula tion, robbery and widespread demorali zation. He refers to tho resignation of Judge Paxton as chief justice of the supreme court of Philadelphia to accept the re ceivership of the Pennsylvania and Read ing railroad as the most glaring and re markable instance of this “facilis de scensus avorui,” and asks how much longer shall tills abuse, which crie3 aloud to heaven, and which i3 a scandal in the land, corrupting the judiciary by the use of unbridled power, lie allowed to continue. Referring to the case of Constable Swan, who seized whisky under tho dis pensary law, and was adjudged by Judge Simonton to be Li contempt, the governor says tiio latter is a puisant judge whose satrapy is South Carolina, and that lie claims not only, the right to control tho railroads held by bw receiv ers without let or hindrance, but he pro tects contraband whisky in the hands of that receiver as a public carrier, and has imprisoned a state constable who seized a barrel of whisky in tho South Carolina railway depot in the face of tho plain provisions of the act of congress. Concerning Judge Simonton’s “qn b* bles,” the governor says: “Is this power gone mad? Is it malice incarnate? Or is it a servile, cringing obedience to the orders of his so-called ‘servant,’ the receiver?” He refers to Simonton and Golf as “one a judge who sucked state’s rights with his mother's milk, and now plants his dagger in tho state’s breast; the other an ex-carpet-bagger, who in days past did his utmost to throttle Anglo-Saxon civilization in South Carolina, and who has returned after 15 years' absence to gloat over her humiliation at tho hands of his obedient instrument.” The governor quotes passages to show that Receiver D. H. Chamberlain is the judge and Jndge Simonton the receiver and says: “We must blush for the atti tude in which the latter has been placed before the public. Are we tamely to submit to these indignities and leave this petty tyrant to continue his acts of outrageous interference?” He asserts that these corporations are in open rebellion against the dispensary law and the railroad commission, and that there is nothing left the state but to repeal the charters of every railroad in the hands of a receiver. The unholy marriage between the “dignity” of the federal court and these harlot corpora- must to annulled and the owners of the bonds be made to understand that there is a point beyond which the patience of the state will not permit them to go. Lehigh Strike Over. Bethlehem. Pa., Nov. 30.—General Manager Voorhees, of the Lehigh Valley railroad, said just before leaving for Philadelphia: “I leave the offices here for good, as I consider the strike pr otic- ally over. Trains are moving better than ever before and no trouble is reported. The company has a full complement of hands.’' Air Lino to succeed Mr. O. V. Smith, who has been too ill to attend tha duties of his position lor some time. On top of this rumor comes one which asserts that Mr. J. M. Culp will be made traffic manager of tho Central railroad. This, it is claimed, has been in contem plation some time, and is a move on tho part of Mr. J.

Birmingham. Ala., Nov. 30.—Tho American Casualty insurance and Secur ity company, of New York, which has recently qu.t business, has had a very active general agent hero, Louis v. Clark, who has done a largo business for tne company. He controlled the states of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi and had most of the employers’ liability, ele vator and security bond business in these states. Since the failure of the company year. Mr. Clark has, at his own expense, rein sured all of his unexpired risks with another company and the policy holders in these three states will lose nothing. Negro Tramps Uso Their Guns. Bedford, Va., Nov. 30.—A gang of negro tramps who were beating their way east on a Norfolk and Western freight train, alighted at Bell Spring, a small station near here, and began re moving the packing from the journal boxes for the purpose of building a fire.

Green, of the Norton Iron works, has arrived from Pittsburg with 75 puddlers and rollers to take the places of the strikers, who are asking for the Amalgamated association scale of $4.75 a ton. The newcomers were hired at $4.50 a ton, with a guarantee of six months’ work. The strikers say the- new men shall not go to work. A now compact o: Ike steel rail pro ducers, the Pennsylvania and tha Mary land works having been leased to others in order to keep them idle, lias checked the increase in the purchases of ore and coal and other materials, and the Pittsburg manufacturers are playing havoc with eastern markets, though the prices mado in that region arc so low that their continuance cannot be predict ed. There is an increase of the number of concerns in operation, but there docs not appear to be much gain in the ac tual consumption of pig iron, and prices are as low as ever. Even in the Pittsburg district, where business is more active than elsewhere, the works aro now fully employed and tho stato of manufacturer is shown by tho return of the Connellsville coke furnaces, of which 6,385 are in operation and l i .- 000 are idle, the output being only 57,755 tons weekly. In minor metals, tho sale of 5.000,000 pounds of copper at 9 3-1 cents by the Calumet and llecla, has been fo-lowed by higher prices, and lead and tin are both firmer. the i luce have been vanced 1 cent, v© been 4,300,000 500,000 last year, and rods. • Tho house of to the aid of pc a very substantial resolution of Mr. ^ to relieve Glynn county fvoin taxes for 189s, except business taxes.

Sam’s Silver Wedding. Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 27.—Rev. Som P. Jones and his bride of 25 years, celebrated their silver wedding Friday night.

Tuscumbia, Ala., Nov. 30.—A death verdict has been brought in by the jury in the case of the State vs. Will Farmer for the murder of his wife last summer.

Va., Nov. 30.— Smallpox has become epidemic in the Shenandoah valley. The disease has as sumed such proportions that the men are leaving mills and other works. The corn receipts are remarkably large, amounting io 3,000,000, against 1,300,000 last year, and the price de clined 1 cent. There has been a slight decline in oil, about 1-4 cents in coffee and also in hogs, and $1.50 in pox*k. Cotton is a sixteenth higher, though con siderably depressed during the week with receipts of 242,000 against 223,000 for the same week last year, and the be lief in a short crop does not out weigh the fact that stocks abroad and at home are 3,242,000 bales, about 40 per cent of a full year's consumption. Failures for the week numbered 387 in the United States against 180 last year, and 34 in Canada against 29 last year. But the list this week includes some of more than usual importance. For the preceding week the liabilities of the firms failing amounted to only $3,- 526,812, against $3,727,467 the week be fore; but the weekly average is far be yond what it would be in times of pros perity.
