In a ball on the ground floor a large num ber of comfortable seats are arranged, am. pUtheatre fashion, in circles whose com mon cei.ter is the caller’s stand. Inde pendent of the large admission fees,a fond to raised by disposing of these seats to the highest bidden among the members of the board. The choicest seats run up as high as $LOOOtMBaa~ Whsa flie member* are brought to order by the sonnd of the huge gavel or. Mm Ciller's desk the holders of seats tsko their places, and the outsiders, who c m get in only on a p'clsl admission card o' . -.ir.ed by one of thelioard, stand on the i bn to. m outside the railing in rear of the la : row of seats. The caller is the medium through which the trading is all done, and the rules make him the presiding officer, with authority to im pose flues for the infraction of certain by laws, which are prominently posted about The various itome of trade on'abauge are brought up in order—pork, clear ribe, lard, oats, com. rye, barley and wheat. Tbs caller announces all offers of stuff, giving the price asked, and atop aU bids by others who wish to buy. This to done after the manner of an auctioneer in a stentorian voice, and as the offers and bids come at the same time from all parts of the room and at varying prices, it takes a man of ex- traordinuiy aptitadein this line to All the c>l&c6 of “oaller.” This position in the Chicago Call Board SJT '&£, 7 "SL “to* JSS& there to he the best caller in America. I learned that his salary to MOOO lor serving an hoar or two at the call board every day. It seemed liberal oompeiMation wbeulheard it, but after watching him at work for an boor I thought hefuBjr earned it There uro always noise and tumult enough, but on this occasion when the call got to wheat the scene was indescribable. A lot of veritable bulls and bears in a pen would scarcely have made a greater noise. The wheat market wee eimted—the bulls and bears in the board ditto. Offers and bids came roering and rusting in from all directions, howled and hurled at the caller in all quantities from a 1UO.000 bubals to u modebt block of 6,000 bushels, which to the toast amount dealt in by le gitimate broken and members of the board. An awful din is the natural re sult, and to prevent unnecessary con fusion a rale permits Mm caller to impose fines on those who either wilfully, or through fear of not having their offers or-bids heard, TBg&aft'SiaL.Mte the caller's gavel (as large as a carpenter s mallet) andhe calls out: “OoL B, are you a member of this board?” “zee, sir.” “Mr. Clerk, line Col.

It would seem impossible in the noise and oonfuaioa to distinguish what was go ing on, but the caller has bis quick eats open and his eye3 going over tue room, &£attHHPgSi3rs5 wards the seller, and that of the other to wards the buyer, and walls: “Messrs.

Great improvement is vir.blo in Cincin nati since I saw it sovornl years ago, but it look* rather tamo as a city afier Chicago.] H i city is surrounded by a range of hills which rise above the tope oi the I roada are tazed to their utmost to carry the immense throng of people who go up to the hill tops. Here they get out of the duat and heat of the city and enjoy the means of recreation around them till late at night. In company with a Cincinnati friend, I went through the splendid building in which the Cincinnati Exposition 1* held every full. This uonsists of a large central building and two immense wings, built on ground donated by the city for the purpose. The central building is a grand music hall, and the exposition buiiaiiigs are the wings, though the whole of the first floor is used in the exposition. This Alusio Hall is a room of vast proportions and com plete in all its appointments. In its con struction, comfort and convenience were sought after more than elegance and orna mentation, it being finished in natural hard woods without point. At the back of the large stage stands the grand organ, which the Cincinnati people claim to be the largest now in the United States. This hall is admirably adapted to the u=e of large conventions, and has been notably need for such purposes. Here the general conventions have nominated Presi- dential candidates tor both political parties* In this hall his Frandnlency K. B. Hayes was nominated for the oflhso to which he was not elected, but which ho nevertheless filled four years. One of the handsomest thingsin the city, and the one most visited by strangers, probably, is the Davidson fountain. Any of yonr readers can find a fall description of it MACOK, FRIDAY.

The square to raised a few feet above the street, and paved with broad, smooth stone slabs, fitting as evenly as a floor and forming a “ romenade, which to filled every clear ng. One end to given np to the chil dren, and on this they amuse themselves in skating with the roller ska tee. The smooth stone floor to far better than a plank floor for this, and I saw a large crowd of both sexes and all ages from six to fifteen years gliding about on skates till 10 o’clock p. m. Everyone in Cincinnati was talking shout the terribly hot weather which had visited them the previous week, and which, from accounts I heard, exceeded anything we could get up in that line down in Georgia. When .1 was there, very pleasant weather had followed this hot spell, and I was sorry that business, which urged me onward, wonld not permit me to remain and see more of the city un- ' sr such favorable circumstances. Having determined to go from Cincin nati to New York by way of Salamanca and Binghamton (Erie route), I was ad vised to start on the midday train, so as to see the prettiest part of the country by day light. The country after leaving Cincin nati to a pleasant one to the eye, and pre sents many things to interest one from Georgia, bnt the pretty country mentioned was to be seen the next day. After a me..t of sound sleep in a Pullman car running over a very smooth road, 1 was up in time to be out at Lake Wood on lake Ohstau- qua, where quite a number of our fellow pas sengers toft ue. From this point the oountry to the prettiest I ever passed through oa a railroad. Two or three cf the passengers on board, who had gone over this rente many times before, bnt always at night, were so pleased that they said th sy ahomd always pans over it by daylight iufaiure. For the greater part ofthe distance the railroad runs through the valley and along the bank of some bright stream. The Al leghany. Genesee, Canisto, Chemung, Chenango, Susquehanna and Delawa.-e rivers are followed in the order named. In the background are keen the beautiful wooded heights and mountains, while nearer at head, on either ride, tha ferule lands sloping toward the streams present a pleasant picture to the eye as they ere seen in the various stages of cultivation. Brown stubble land on which thereosntiyent wheat to abrad ing in abocks to dry, fields of waving grain jet acresped, fine meadows from which the new mown hay perfumes the air as it is piled ou wagons or stacked up in the fields, and beautiful green pastures with fine eat- tie feeding thereon are passed baton the don as the train whins church spirts. On these hide the ] wealthiest citUuns have il.tjr red fences, many of which are truly magnificent; anil while the city proper would r.i/. nt . net at tention for beauty, few places c.ui to of a suburbs as Ciueinn:.ti.

As the train, following the course of the stream,tomsVbout around the bends of the river there Is presented to the eye more va riety ot beautiful landscape than I ever saw in the some distance of railroad travel, lean heartily recommend this roate to Georgians visiting New York who profer.to travel by rail. By taking the Cincinnati bontbera road, you can make oonnoction right through twice a day by this route. I would advise by all means, to arrange so as to leave Cincinnati by the midday train, waiting n .few hours at Cincinnati* if necessary, to aooomplish this, for it will pay well in the end. Those who stop at Cincinnati oan get all necessary infor mation and the moat polite attention from Ur. D. K. Holmes, the Cincinnati agent of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio mil- rood. Thera are a great many people who think a newspaper man’s opinion on any subject to ganged by the amouutot benefit he derives from it, and wonld sup pose his commendation of any railroad routs to be in proportion to a free ride over it. For the benefit of all snoh among your readers, I will say I paid my way to New York over this route “jest like common folks,” and what I have auid above to prompted by a desire to point out to your rea ders the pleasantest rati route 1 have found to New York. As for myself I will never stand tha dost and beat of any rail road in summer when 1 can find a steam boat or ship to take me where I wish to go, with so loach more comfort.

After the reading of the journal, Mr. Jemlson moved to reconsider tbe vote by which the House parsed the bill to pro hibit keepers of liquor saloons from em ploying minors therein. Mr. Jemlson said that under tbe bill the parental authority was taken entirely away by the action of tbe House. He moved to amend by a proviso that the father or mother might employ his or her child in tbe business of such parent. He thought H wrong for the Legislature to take entire control of the parental au thority. Mr. Northern opposed tbe motion to re consider: He said that tbe object ot the bill was more fully to carry out tbe law forbidding tbe sale of liquor to minors- He denied the right of parents to put temptations before their children.

McGuire $5,000 for injuries received by the explo sion of an engine on tho Mate road in 3857, while lie was running it tor the State, was reported against by the finance committee. Mr. Milner explained the case, and urged the passage of (tie bill. He made a strong appeal to the sense of justice and humanity of the House. Mr. Miller, of Houston, said that the circumstances stated by the gentleman from Bartow were not proved before the committee. He said that McGuire had already received relief from the State, by seated to the Legislature, and that action and acceptance ought to be considered a settlement of tbe case. The present ap plication was simply for a donation. The claimant had no legal right.

A number of House bills were read tbe first time. tv - HOUSE. The first business iu order before tbe House was a special order, the bill to pro hibit the granting by tbe courts of this State of more than two trials to any civil cause. The judiciary committee reported against the passage of tbe bill. * . Mr. Wright moved to disagree to the report of the committee, so as to allow him to Introduce a substitute limiting tbe prohibition to only one new trial. His substitute was read, and he called for the reasons which induced the com mittee. Mr. Hqmmond, chairman of the com mittee, said the request of the gentleman front Floyd was a novel one, as that gen tleman concurred iu the action of the committee on the original bill, and that was tbe only bill reported upou. He said, however, that the original bill was disfa vored by the committee because it vras of mote than doubtful constitutionality; also because It infringed upon the great popu lar right of trial by jury—at least a right to trial by au impartial jury. The com mittee regarded the bill not only an In novation without merit, but as one that might be dangerous. Air. Wright said that aflerheariDg the gentleman from Thomas, he was more titan ever convinced that hla bill ought to pass. He had introduced the Mil after mature thought and consultation with distinguished jurists, who were almost upanimous iu approving it. He mention ed Hon. L. E. Bleckley as having drawn the bill. He said that he found la the codes of many other States laws similar to that which he proposed. It bad long been on tbe statute book of Great Britain. He was sorry that the committee did not agree with over half the States of the Union lu their estimate of the measure. He had heard that tha action of the com mittee was not unanimous. He wanted the House to consider tbe substitute, and not the original bill. His reasons for urging the passage of the bill were given. He said every reason of opposition to It was founded on dis trust of the jury box. He deprecated the day when the people of Georgia should have a similar fear. Ha sain that all courts ought to be so constituted as, first, to be able to settle all questions submitted to them, and,, second, to settle them as speedily as possible. He supposed cases of dif ference between the courts and the Juries, and said that would be a deplorable state of affairs. It would cause endless litlga- tiou. A man wbo now enters the courts lias no Idea when he will be able to get oaf—he does not know when the question will ever be decided. Endless trouble and endless expense would result. The bill simply provided that tha jury should have the final decision of any case. The spirit and letter of our law gives to the jury this t ight. HU bill proposed to give tbe jury tbe final right ot psasing upou all questions of fact. The jury box was es tablished because the judgment of twelve men was better than that of one man or three men. It was also incorruptible, or less liable to corruption. He said that the Supreme Court of Georgia had rules substantially la favor of bis bill. It wss tho old common law that the courts should not grant any new trial, and it was unfortunate that it had been changed. His bill hai been drawn by men ol great judicial experience, with a view of pro tecting the people from endless litiga tion, and iie hoped :t would past. Tbe creatJBritDh revo.ntio:! established the jury box as the guardian of popular rights and liberties, and ail that he asked of the House was to perpetuate this great safe guard of the rights of the common peo ple. . ' Air. Basinger (aid that the remedy of judicial ’.rials was coevalwith the system of trial toy Jury, smi that the system of trial by jury would be arbitrary and in tolerable if there was no way of correct ing its errors. He regarded any bill Inn itine tbe power of judges to grant new trials ns unconditufiuuiil. aud Mid that no judge would he bound to abide by it. Wt must consider this question In its bearing on our own State, and not in view of what other States have doue. Every constitution of Georgia has given to the judges tbe right to grant new trials. Be fore 1803 fins was the exclusive right ol the Superior Coitus. The judge was not to act upon his o vn caprice, but upon le^al grounds. True, lb i matter is left to the Judgment ofthe ju lie, but it it to bis judicial juJgm&nt. if ;he constitution of Georgia had made the judges independent of the Legislature, as u certainly had, tbe Legisiatuie could not impair the right. He contended ilia’, the bill did seek to im pair it, and that no judge would be bound to obey it. Tbe number of new trials was very small in proportion to the num ber of cases tried. The object of courts was not simply to settle iirigated questions, but to settle them justly. Mi. Jones, of DeKalb, said that, much as bn admired the ability and judgment of the framers of the bill, lie bad more trust in the judgment of tbe able judiciary com inlttee of the Home. He did distrust the verdict of juries sometim e. Ho hoped the substitute would not be adopted. Mr. Wright said that, as lie expected the gentlemen who opposed the bill baser ru appropriation of $500, which McGuire j their opposition so.’-.dy on distrust ot the accepted. His whole case was then pro- jury box. He wanted that distinctly un- GEOBSIA TELEGRAPH BUUJHSG VOLUME LV-N0. 31 derstood by the House. He seed that if the bill was unconstitutional, it was great wonder that other States, having constitutions aud -ystoms of government like our own, had not found out that foot. The bill did not propose to take awMfacy of the rights of the judiciary, bnt only to proscribe bow they should exercise their rights. He defied any man to advance a single aigument against the bill outside the distrust of the Jury box. Its reply to Mr. Basinger, he asked who was to settle difference* between tho courts and juries * It monopolies and corporations should control the Legislature and tbe courts, what rights would the people have to ex cept that of a resort to the juries to pro tect them ? Mr. Jemisoo said that a groat part of Mr. Wright’s speech was a fling at the ju diciary committee; therefore he wonld give his reason, as one of that committee, for opposing the bill. He repudiated the imputation that the committee entertain ed any distrust of the jury box. Bnt he was ss far from any distrust of the judi ciary, which the bill involved. Had not tbe gentleman heard the decision of the Supreme Court that no new trial would be granted upon a decision on the facts of a case by a lury t He deplored the prac tice of legislating In view of the individu al experience of men. (Sweeping changes of our jurisprudence ought not to he made on such feelings or experience. He was unwilling to see it hacked at in this way. Mr- Mitchell called for the previous question, whl-h was ordered. On tbe question of agreeing to tbs ad vene report of the committee, the vote was largely In the affirmative. So the bill was lost. Several committees of the House made reports on bills referred to them. BILLS ON THIRD BEADING. The bill of Mr. Turner, of Floyd, to in corporate the Rome Southern Railroad Company, with several branches. Air. DuBignon moved to recommit tbe bill to the committee on railroads. Lost. Mr. Jemlson moved to lay the foil! on the table, that it might be printed. Lost. The amendments proposed by the com mittee were then read aud adopted. There was some inquiry as to the brauches proposed by tbe bill. Mr. Estes •aid the bill had been framed In accordance with other hills incorporating railroads; that all the objections to branches for for mer roads were on the ground that they were indefinite as to their termini, but that this bill was explicit in that particu lar. j Mr. Jemlson, offered as an additional section an amendment repealing the fran chise If tbe minimum of capital stock should not be subscribed and the work completed in five years. Mr. Estes moved to make tbe bill a special order for Monday, which motion prevailed. On motion of Mr. Jemlson, 300 copies were ordered to be printed for the use of the House. The House took up the bill to create and organize a new judicial circuit, to be called tbe Northeastern circuit, and to be compoeed ot tbe counties cf Union, Rabun, Habersham, Towns, White, Lumpkin and Hall. Mr. Kinsey, of White, advocated tbe passage of the bill, on the ground of the great extent of the circuit now embracing tl »e counties. He said that tbe judge held court for thirty-six to thirty-eight weeks in the year, and it was desired to increase the jiervlce by about ten weeks more, which would he imposing too much labor on the judge, even if it was prac ticable. Mr. Barrow also supported tbe bill, and cited facts to show the groat need of a new circuit for the northeastern part of the State. He said that the people of the counties of that section were actually deprived of tbe right to have their cases tried in court, because the judge could not hold all the courts within tha time allowed. Several of the counties needed more time for their courts, hut it could not be allowed. The report ofthe committee was agreed to, and the bill passed. Under a suspension of the roles Mr. Carilbers, of Walton, introduced a bill to amend the act to incorporate lb* Walton railroad company, so as to allow tbe com pany to make a connection with the Ma con and Brunswick extension, alto with the Northeaetara railroad at Athens. Re ferred to Urn committee on railroads. Mr. Render introduced a local hill to incorporate tbe Greenville and While Sulphur Springs railroad company. Cor porations. Mr. Janes introduced a bill to make all tenons or companies telling commercial 1 fertilizers warrant the same to be suited to the ute for which intended, and de claring void all releases given without such warranty. On motion of Air. ALlner.the hill for the better management and control of the penitentiary convicts was read a second time and made tbe special order tor Tues day morning next. On motion of Mr. Martin, of Talbot, the bill to require solicitors to bring rules against attorneys in certain cases, wss taken from tbe table. Mr. Martin moved that tbe House disa gree to the adverse report of tbe com mittee. Mr. Hammond, chairman of tbe judi ciary committee, sustained tbe adverse re port and opposed tbe bill. He said that attorneys were already subject to ruling, aud it was already the duty of other attor neys to prosecute them for routining the money or their clients. Mr. Martin said that the object of his bill was not to change the law, hat c-uiy to give additional remedies anu make Us execution surer. He insisted that attor neys did not like to bring such rules, and iu many cates would not do it. But if it waa made the duty of the solicitor gene ral, tide neglect would be obviated. The adverse report of the committee was sustained—yeas 71, nays 40. The bill of Mr. Davis, to appropriate *20,000 to rebuild the Agricultural Col lege at Dahioncgs ; tbe bifi to tax circus companies 16, 000 for each performance; the bill to change tbe time of revising jury boxes; the bill to punish persons presiding at gambling tables as agents of another; tbe bill to declare the head of navigation »f the Oeoulgee river to be at Macon, with several local bills, were read a second time, and advanced to a third reading. Two or three local bills, upon which there were advene reports, were lost or withdrawn. The bill to amend tbe fence laws so as to require landlords to furnish pasturage for tbe stock of tenants where the present fence system is changed; also, to extend the provisions of the county op tion fence law to militia districts, was read a second time, and, on motion of Mr. Twiggs, laid on tha table. The btti of Mr. Price, to provide for the pay of managers and clerks of e lection t,and the bill to authorise the adjustment of tbe claim of Howard Yau Epps, lata solicitor of Fulton county, tor insolvent costs, were read a second time. The bill of'Mr. Sweat, to change the time of holding elections for State officers and members of tbe Legislature, was re. ported against and lost. When the House adjourned at 1 o’clock, it had under consideration a local bill by Mr. Jenae, of Douglas, to enlarge the limits of the court bouse square kt Doug las? ilia, over which there was a lively rosiest between him and the committee corporations, mst It, w&teh hud reported •gainst The committee on corporations made an adverse report ou the bit! to incorporate the HtwkUssvUSe and Florida railroad company.

SPECIAL ORDER. Tbe bill to provide for tbe uniform as sessment of railroad property, and the collection aud return of taxes thereon. (. This bill requires the return and pay ment in each county of taxes on property owned by railroad companies in that county. The committee reports<r a sub stitute not materially changing this feat ure ofthe bill ) Air. Twiggs.opposed tbs bill and sub stitute. Be thought both impolitic and illegal, If not unconstitutional. Hu did hot share in tbe feeling of opposition to railroads. He thought they had rights which ought to be respected. The blil proposed an enormous burden upon them —the imposition of a county tax. He alluded to the great benefits of railroads, and their inspiriting effect upon the peo ple and their property, but said that just as soon as the last spike was driven a feeling of opposition was manifested. He believed that railroads had done more than anything else to advance the pros perity ot the State. He combatted the notion that railroads should pay county taxes like other property. He said that there was no analogy in this respect be tween railroads aud individuals. The railroad had no fee simple title to the right of way which it used. Tbe railroad* largely increased the valr.e of the proper ty in their neighborhood, and thus bene fited the counties through which they nn. He Velieved the bill to be illegal, be cause the constitution provided for uni form taxes on all property of the same classification, and ad valorem. Railroads could only be taxed upon the whole value of their property; a tax upou county sec tions could not be ad valorem. He asked, how could railroad* be taxed ad valoretn. which were partly iu tbe State and partly out of it:’ Values outsido of a county could not be made to aSscr values on weperty inside of it- Tbe tax provided 'or by this bill could not be uniform as required by the constitution, because the charters ot three of the principal roads limited and prescribed the rate of taxation to them—the Georgia, the Central, and the Western and Atlantic. The bill could not Impose a dollar of tax on either of these roads, and therefore its taxation could not be uniform. Mr. Miller asked him bow it was, then, that the State could tax these roada? Mr. Twiggs said he did uot believe the State tax was constitutional, but that the railroads had submitted to it. But it was not a good reason to impose one burden because soother had been Imposed. What would be tbe result, if the law were n ot unconstitutional? Tbe money would come out of the hard earnings of the peo ple. The railroads would have to increase charges, and the railroad commission would have to sanction Sti The railroads had to make a living, and tbe intelligent people of the btate would accord it to them. Air. T. Insisted on the impractica bility of taxing li e rolling stock of rail roads in the separate ccuniias through which they run. The comptroller could not accurately appot, on tbe value of this property among the counties. He made a strong and pointed speech. Mr. Miller, of Houston, supported tbe bill. He disclaimed that the railroad committee was making war on tbe rail roads. A large portion of Mr. Twiggs’ argument arose from a misunderstanding of the bill. The railroad committee bad reported a substitute, not tbe original bili. The principle of the bill was that rail roads should conform to th* ruie of other corporations in the payment of taxes. The railroads were required to return their fixed property in each county—noth ing else. He said that tho Supreme Courts of Georgia and cf other States have decided against the argument that the tax was unconstitutional because not uniform. He combatted the idea that the State should not allow counties to tax the roads because the State controlled them. He said that tbe same argument would exempt from local taxation the property of banks and other corporation* controlled by the Slate. According to the argument of Mr. Twiggs, if properly extended, every working man or institu tion that augmented tbe value of proper ty, ought to be e.cemj t from taxation. Why should not this tax be imposed ? It would not do to answer this question by saying that there was a war on railroads. The railroads made tbe people pay full price for what they did for tbemj aud ohould pay just as the people did. In reference to rolling slock, be said that it was property that had no homo; the counties of the term.ni were no mors its home than the counties through which it runs, it would, therefore, b« unjaat to allow the counties of the termini to have all this tux. Be did not see how any man could vote against a plan of taxation so Just and uniform as this bill propose a Even if the House differed from the com mittee in regard to the rolling stock, that was no good reason far afcaudotuug the principle of tbe bill. There was some colloquy, partially in audible to the reporter, between Messrs. Twiggs and Miller in regard to a decision of the Supreme Court touching tbe taxa tion ot roiling stock, and the proposition of the former that if the railroads increased their chargee to pay increased taxation, parties that did not share tha benefits ot the taxation would sufier from the in creased c! surges. Mr. Sweat said he was no champion of railroads, but ancoEuiced his purpose to vote against the bili and substitute. He thought tiuK unjust. He wat satisfied that on* result of the bill would be in creased passenger and freight rate% and that the railroad commission would have to allow it. if tbe bin should pass, it wonld oe to th* iafcmast of ratlsxmds to have as little property aioeg tiwir lines as possible, and this was another reason for opposing Vse bill, tin bettered tbs but* had gout- for enough iu sis legisla tion against raUroads, Air. Branson thought a more equitable or fairer bUl then this had uot been Intro- duced tnMre Ssuee- 44* said that to al low these gigantic corporations to travel through tbs State with tbeli- palace care, aud with all thesr privileges, without paying taxes in the counties through which they run, would not do. He alluded to a great expense imposed on Bartow county by the Western and Atlantic railroad, by litigation, and thought the counties ought to be allowed to make such corporations pay for their privileges and gains. All ether property was taxed by the counties, and why not railroad property ? He , thought railroads were doing as much bans as good to the people. He attribu ted to them the change in the planting economy of Georgia, Inal had made its farmers dependent on the West for food. D wss too Ute to talk about tbe great ad vantage* derived from railroads—that bad played out. The people were made to pay for everything they got from these corporation*. He derided the argument that, because three railroads bad been ex empted from this taxation, nil other roads, including the legion now asking for in corporation, shoutd also be exempt. Air. Bull, of Troup, offered an amend ment making the bill apply only to rail roads herealter to be iucorpoi atect. He zsiu that it wdUld be unjust to Ur in this way railroads that Usd been built with the understanding that they should not be. He drew a discrimination between the right of way held by a railroad com pany and tha fae simple titles of individ uals. He also objected to the taxation ot rolling stock, and contended that its home was tne principal office of the company, and there it should be taxed. The bill proposed a new aud stronger system of taxation, lie disputed tha proposition that the main principle of the hill ought uot to be defeated because ot defects in seme of its delatti—said that the measure ought to be perfect iu all its details. Air. DuBignon regarded tho bill as the most important one that had yot. come up. He denied that the property of tha rail roads was analogous to that of individuals; said that as the railroads did not fix their own charges as individuals d'd, their status waa diifent. The Railroad Com mission having fixed just aud reasonable rates of charges by the railroads, when you impose this additional burden you give them a fair claim to liigber rates. Bearing ia tuiu-i that several of lbs large corporations are exempt from tbe tax, and that it must be borne by smaller ones struggling for existence, he asked where was tne justice of the matter .’ He read some statistics and calculations to show tbe inequality of taxation uud«? the bill, and the unequal distribution of the in creased charges which the railroad would have to make to enable them to pay it. He contended tha! county taxation being unequal in its rate, there could be no uni formity iu distributing aaioug the counties the tax on the roiling stock of railroads. He deprecated the prejudice against rail roads, and highly appreciated the benefits they had conferred upon the State aud people. Mr. Strother wanted some arrangement by w hiefc railroads that had received State aid might be properly taxed. Mr. flutes said that the essence of a rail road charter was nothing else than the privilege to take private property and ap propriate it to public use. Because the State aud the railroad had thus taken the property at the individual, was no reasou why the property thus taken should be exempt from taxation while bcionmag to the corporation. He contended that the principle of the btti could be put Into suc cessful practice. The Supreme Court had decided that the people ot tha State had the right to tax all railroad property not specially exempted from taxation. He said that the 'proposition w as uot to tax the trauchise, but the tangible property of the railroads. He showed how the taxes cn rolling stock could be equitably aDportioaed among the counties, acbord ig to the distance tl»*jt tht roads run tbrougu each county. The Comptroller General would find a wayto epportion the taxes,And It was useless to raise difficulties before we got to them. He was ao opponent, but a friend to railroads. It came with bad grace to talk about unfriendly legislation towards railroads, when ao many were applying for charters. Ha said the rail roads would pay tbe tax, and not a dollar oi increased charges by them would have to be paid by the people- Mr. Estes made a mow earnest and effective speech, of which the above is a very impel feet sketch. Air. Hunt offered a resolution to re commit the bill for amendment, so as to exempt the railroad beds from county taxation. Mr. Jemison coaid not vote ter tbe bill as it stood, because it violates a principle of constitutional law in taxing rolling stock in the manner proposed. He thought it could only be taxed at the home of the corporation. He therefore favored recommitment. The resolution to recommit was not agreed to. Mr. Winston coiled for Use previous question, and the House sustained the call. Mr. Ranktu, author ofthe bill, made a legal argument in Us favor, claiming that tbe taxation of railroad property by tha counties was neoeseary to secure the equal taxation required by the constitu tion. Ho went over the whole line ol op position to the bill, and ingeniously and ably met the arguments ot its opponents. Mr. Bull withdrew his amendment. Mr. Barrow called for a vote on the bill by sections: The first section of the substitute was ad-pied by a vote of Mtt to 30. Tbe sec ond section was adopted by 84 to 53. The third section was adopted by SH to 50. The fourth section was adopted by 90 to 42. The fifth section was adopted, Tho sixth section was adopted. Mr. Hunt, made the point of order that the second section had not been adopted by the conatitutioo&l rote.. The Speaker overruled tbe point, on tbe ground that ibis was not tbe final vote, hut only a vote putting the substi tute in the place of the bili. The report of tha committee waa agreed to. Mr. Hunt called for a role on the pas sage of the bill by tedious, and Mr Bar- row coiled for tbe yeas and nay*. The vote on the Aral section stood, yes* 10o,iiays 49. On tbe eecond section, yeas 89, naya 82—the needful cunstitistiousl vole. The third section was passed, 63 to 55— only one vote to spare, f he'fourth section panted, yeas 89, navg 54.
