ed Soil.” Mr. W. H. Reese, of MarsLall-
ville, followed in an article on “The Lo
cal Labor Problem.” After the reading
of the above paper, a resolution on the la
bor question was introduced, and a com
mittee of nine, one from each Congres
sional district, was appointed to report on
the same.
Mr. W. C. Richsrdson, of Whitfield, in
troduced the following resolutions, which
were alums: unanimously adopted :
Whereas, Strenuous efforts are being
ma le to prevent the Legislature from
granting a charter tobnlld a railroad from
Atlanta to Rome; and, i
Whereas, The presence and employ
ment of capital is the great want of our
State; and,
Whereas, Monopolies, whether held aud
exercised by individuals, companies or
the State, antagonize property aud public
good; therefore,
it .salted, That it Is the opinion of the
dei.'g ties of this convention that to grant
the charter asked lor and the building
and operation of said road would promote
prosperity in our State aud be of great ad
vantage to our people; as sucli it is our
desire lint tbe Legislature no longer de
lay g; anting tbe Cole company the liber
ty to build said railroad.
A resolution was then adopted, asking
the Legislature to enact a law providing
for the propagation and protection of tbe
fish food suited to the waters of the State.

versity, then addressed tbe convention on
“Scientific Experimentation in Agricul
ture. - ' The Professor spoke without
notes, and was attentively listened to.
He strongly urged that the Legislature
establish a system of experimental farms.
A free discussion followed the address,
in which the argument tended to show
that highly ammonlated fertilizers were,
in most cases, Injurious.
On rnotiou, a resolution of thanks to
the speaker was adopted, with a request
that he address the General Assembly on
the subject.
Thui followed the report of the delega
tion to the Greenville, S. C., convention,

Samuel Uape, of Atlanta, on “the culture
of small fruits.” Both essays received

Capturing a Bear.
From Peek's Sun.
It will be remembered that a sad and
fatal accident occurred at Madison a few
years ago, by a team being frightened at a
performing Frenchman and a grizzly bear,
and it cost the city a good deal of money
to settle the costs. Other towns resolved
that they would not have any more bear
performances on the streets. There was
uo towu that was loaded lor bears, after
that accident, any lieavelrthauLa Crosse.
The mayor, Joe Clark, was red hot, and
he told the chief of police, Hatch, never
to allow a man with a performing
bear to come Into the town. Hatch
didn’t waut anything belter than % bear
fight, aud he said he should smile to sec
aCauadian Frenchman get up a bear
dance iu that town as long as he walked
the streets. When the new mayor, Smi
ley, took the office, he had only one or
der to give the police, and that was to
keep an eye open for bears. There was
consternation in La Crosse on Tuesday,
when a boy camo up to the police office
aud said there was a man down town
with n performing bear, aud Hatch spit
ou bis bands and told Pernue Clark to
follow him. The bear was bitched to tbe
bind axle of a wagon, and the owner was
iu a saloon taking a drink. Hatch said he
would go in the saloon and capture the
man, aud told Pernue to bring tlie bear
right up to tbe station. Pcruue didn’t
exactly like the way the thing was di
vided up, And he suggested that maybe he
bad better go in after the mau aud let
Hatch take the bear, as he was an old
bear hunter, but Hatch said that the mau
was a desperado, aud he had better sur
round him. So Hatch went in and got
tbe unresisting Frenchman, and slatted
off, telling Pernue to burry up with
the bear. Pernue is a man that, if he
wanted a bear, had rather hire a man to
go after it, but the eyo of the chief was
ou Inin, aud he walked up to the bear
aud took hold of the chain and said,
“Come along, Mr. Bear.” The bear
reached up one claw and took hold of
I’ernue’s clothes about tbe small ot the
back and closed bis claws and twisted a
little, and there was about a pound of
coat tail and pantaloons cloth and shirt
that all came off together in a wad, and
with, a pale hce Pernue started
toward the lockup to help Hatch hold
the man. He uvertook them as they
arrived at tbe calaboose, aud Haleb
asked him why he didn’t bring the bear,
and he said he came up to flud out from
the Frenchman what the bear’s name
He said he never could take a bear
If ho didn’t know its name. He put «u
rubber coat to cover the place where the
bear stepped on him, and by this time
Sam Campbell ntui Dave Littlejohn, the
otner policemen, hart ..-rived, and they
all went down after the bear. The boys
male a good deal of fun of Pernae's
clothes, and Sam remarked that
tbe way to handle a bear was to look
him 'right in the eye and para
lyze him. Pernue said he would let Sam
paralyze the bear, but before lie got him
paralyzed on tnoic than ..ueaide,tiie bear
would rip all, the dollies off him. Ar
riving at tbe wagon. Hatch said he would
stand on the wagon tongue
and hold it down' and they
could surround tUc bear. The
bear] was lying iu the sand asleep, and
they got all around him and were
just going to pounce on him when he
rose up and the air seemed full of
bears. The bear seemed fairly fixed. With
one paw he grabbed Campbell by tbe slack
of the trousers, and with the other he
clawed Littlejohn on the shoulder, and he
ripped their clothes scandalous, while
Pernue got behind a dry goods box aud
Hatch held on to the wagon tongue. Tbe
bear stood up ou his hind feet with both
fore-paws full of blue flauue! clothing,
and tbe police held a council of war ou
the wagon tongue. Finally they all
got hold of the wagon aud hauled
it to the lockup, the bear follow
ing, nnd then they gave the Frenchman his
liberty and three dollars if be would take
bis bear and get out of town, and tbe last
they saw of him he was going toward Wi
nona locked arms with tbe hear, laugh
ing, and the police went to the tailor shop
to see if it would cost much more to mend
their clothes than it would to get a new
suit. Now they get together evenings and
talk over the bear business, and Hatch
asks them why they did not chloroform
the bear, and use some judgment.
Economy Amous School Children
' A circular has recently been issued by
the British Educational Department call
ing attention to the important question of
how thrift may bo taught and encouraged
arnoug the classes which need it most, in
that as lu every other countiy. The idea
of the gentlemen who have the supervis
ion of the training of youth in England Is
that some plair ought to be devised to in
duce liqbits of economy among school
children. There can be no doubt as to tlie
excellence of the suggestion. France saw
the importance of this question thirty or
forty years ago, and solved it in a very
practical way by establishing children’s
savings bfluk3 in nearly every school In
the country. England is away behind in
this respect, and far that matter so are tbe
United States. No children in tho world
spend so much money as our own, and
upon none are habits of economy less im
pressed. The example of France in this
3 ct is one that might be profitably
ved, not only in England, but here
in America.—2t. Y, Herald.

says the .Sun, It seems, aro determined to
make an tmpression in the fall elections
in that State, aud to that end they are
about to call a State convention, to be
held at Utica on or about tbe 20th of this

ed as yet, but it will be this week. At
present it takes tho shape ot a ‘q\.vale
and confidential” printed circular, to
which the names of not a few members
in tlie chamber of commorco and board
of trade and transportation are attached.
The idea of the promoters of the move
ment would seem to be that they can
muster strength enough to occupy the po
sition of a baiance-ot-powcr party iu New
York, and decide which of tho candidates
of tho two great parties shall or shall not
be elected. Some significance is given to
the fact that the convention Is to be held
in the town where ex-Seuator Conkling

Atlaxta, Ga>, August 11.—Senate
met at ten o’clock. Tho special order
was the report of the committee to de
cide whether or not the treasurer should
receive three per cent. United States
bonds in payment of the Macon and
Brunswick railroad.
Senator Denmark moved to postpone the
special order, as there was a resolution
pending to investigate the sale and title
of the road. The motion prevailed, and
the question was postponed until next
Thursday. * ' *
A communication wa3 received and
read from the State Agricultural Society,
asking the Legislature to grant the Cole
charter, and also to appropriate money
for the propagation of fish.
A number of bills were read the second
time.
bills ox third beadixg.
A bill to fix tbe fees of weighing cotton.
Somo discussion ensued on tho bill, pend
ing which, the hour arrived to elect a
judge aud solicitor of the new circuit.
HOUSE.
Ou motion of Mr. Davis, of LnmpkiD,
the bill to provide for tbe rebuilding of
the North Georgia Agricultural College,
was made a special order tor Wednesday
next.
The House then took up the special
order for to-day—the bill to incorporate
the Cincinnati and Georgia Railroad Com
pany. (E. W. Cole, George L Seney and
other present owners of the Macon and
Brunswick railroad. The objoct is' de
clared to be to enable them to have an
unbroken line, under one mnagement,
from Rome to Brunswick, with connec
tions extending to the Mississippi river, to
the West, to Virginia, eta)
The committee on railroads reported fa
vorably on the bill, with amendments,
which were first acted on. Several were
adopted. One amendment was to give
the charter a perpetual tenure. The com
mittee proposed to limit it to fifty years.
Mr. Jemtson moved to. amend by subsu
ming thirty for filly.
Mr. Garrard oposed tie amendment of
Mr. Jemtson. He said tbat tbe company
wanted to issue bonds to run fifty* years,
and tbat tbat time was not too long for a
railroad charter.
Mr. .lemison was opposed to special ex
ceptions, and wanted uniformity in rail
road charters. He wanted this chatter
put upou the footing of a general law, and
thought thirty years was long enough to
give a company sway.
Mr. Barrow enlarged upon the argu
ment of Mr. Garrard.
Mr. Jemisou withdrew his amendment.
The amendment of the committee was
adopted. Other amendments of the com
mittee were adopted;
Mr. Branson offered an amendment re
quiring the completion of the road from
Homo to Brunswick witblu three years.
Mr. Garrard said the committee would
aecijit ’he amendment, and it was adopt
ed.
Mr. Jemisou offered, an additional sec
tion forbidding any other railroad compa
ny becoming interested in the ownership
or rui.i.iug of the road.
Mr. Barrow opposed this amendment as
an unusual and arbitrary one. He said
the Legislature bad no right to say tbat
it a man dfcompany should put money
into one road, they'should not put it into
another. You might as well say that if a
man <: a ;.s laud in one county he shall
not own land in another, or if he owns
stock in one factory ho shall not own
stock in another.
Mr. Jemison said that was the very ar
gument used in osposltlnn to State con
trol over railroads at ail. The railroads
did not hold the same relation to the State
as individuals. His amendment was
taken frotq tbb act authorizing tho sale of
tbe dacon and Brunswick railroad. It
was to prevent all the railroads of the
State from going into the control of one
man or one company. Ho wanted to vote
for tbs bill, but could not
It bis amendment was rejected. He
wanted the people of the State protected
and guaranteed iu the competition which
they sought to secure by the extension
of the Macon and Brunswick railroad.
Mr. Barrow said that the amendment,
in the form offered, would work a hard
ship to some citizens of the Slate. It the
amendment were so modified as not to in
terfere with the rights of private citizens,
he would be willing to accept it. He of
fered an amendment by inserting the
word “controlling,” so as not to allow a
company, or individuals having a con
trolling interest in other roads, to be
come interested in the ownership or man
agement of this.
Mr. Jemison said that the word “con
trolling” emasculated the amendment, be
cause of the difficulty which courts would
have in determining who had controlling
interests.
Mr. DuBlgnon had read section 10 of
the act authorizing the lease of the State
road, which ho said effected what Mr.
Jemison wanted.
Mr. Jemison said tbat was another rea
son why his amendment should be adopt
ed. Other roads should be restricted in
tlie same way the lessees of the State road
were. As a friend os the bill, he wanted
it guarded in snch a way that he could
vote for it. He repeated the remark of
Mr. Stephens, that “where combination
was possible competition was Impossible.”
Mr. Barrow, said that tho modification
proposed by him carried out Mr. Jcmi-
sou’s original purpose iu offering his
amendment. His proposition to insert
tho word “controlling” would effectually
prevent tiro road from passing into tho
control of other railroad companies.
Mr. Garrard said the effect of Mr. Jem
Ison’s amendment was that an enemy ot
the road could buy a few shares ot stock
in tbe El ate road, then a few shares in tbe
road which tbe bill provided for, aud tben
call for a forfeiture of the charter of tbe
latter.
Mr. Barrow’s amendment was adopted.
Mr. Rankin oilered a substitute for tbe
amendment. His substitute forbids any
lessee or stockholder ot the State road
from being a stockholder in the road un
der consideration.
Mr. Barrow said tho substitute was a
kitten out ru the same litter. It prohib
ited private citizens from making invest
ments of their own money.
Mr. Rankin’s substitute was rejected.
Mr. Jemison’s amendment, as amended,
was then adopted.
Mr. Jemison offered an amendment to
section 0, by a proviso that no more of tho
stock of delinquent stockholders should
be forfeited than is necessary to meet the
delinquency. Adopted.
Mr. Rankin offered an amendment to
the second section, forbidding tho exten
sion of the road to Chattanooga.
Mr. Garrard said that the extension
from Rome to Chattanooga was already
chartered.
The amendment was lost.
Mr. Turner, of Monroe, moved a re
consideration of tbe vote adopting Mr.
Jemison’s first amendment. He said that
its effect would be to kill tbe charter, and
he enlarged upon the point made by Mr.
Garrard against it.
Mr. Miluer supported the motion to re
consider.
Mr. Turner said that, notwithstanding
the modification, any company or individ
ual owning a controlling Interest in other
roads could purchase one share in this
road and then procure a forfeiture of its
charter.
The motion to reconsider prevailed.
Mr. Barrow moved to amend by forbid
ding owners of controlling interests in
other roads from acquiring a controlling
interest in this road.
The amendment was adopted, aud the
amendment as thus amended was then
re-adopted.
Mr. Jemison moved other amendments
to the second section, which were lost.
He offered an amendment to tbe ninth
section, limiting the right of the company
to own and use docks, etc., at the port of
Biunswick. Lost.
The report of the committee was agreed
k>.
Mr. Rankin opposed the bill as a rival
and depredator of the Elate road. He
said that lie saw that he was in a small
minority in opposing the bill, but he was
unwilling to do violence to his sentiments
aud convictions by yielding to any popu
lar opinion. He referred to the benefits
derived by tbe State from the Western
and Atlantic railroad, and said that all
would be jeopardized or lost by granting
this charter. He estimated the road
to be worth ten millions of dollars, and
computed that when tlie pf03ent lease ex
pired it could bo made to “pay luto the
State Mm" a million dollars annually.
Tbe proposed railroad would divide the
business of the State road, without offer
ing any protection against monopoly. A
combination of competing lines might de
stroy the value of the State road. He de
nied the assertion tbat the State road was
iucapable of doing all - the business of
transportation needed. He read a letter
from Gen. McRae, declaring that tho
State road was not and could not be a
monopoly, because it afforded Impartial
facilities to all connecting roads, but the
Cincinnati Southern was intended to be
ana must needs be a monopoly.
'The previous question was called and
sustained. -
Mr. Garrard move^. to extend to-day’s
session until action on this bill is conclud
ed. Agreed to.
Mr. Barrow said he was authorized by
Governor Brown to say that the letter of
General McRea was written without his
knowledge or consent, and he did uot
wish to be understood as sanctioning the
effort of any official of that road to infiu-
ence legislation.. He quoted Gov. Brown
as saying also that this charter might in
juriously affect tho lessees cf the State
road, but not the State; also, that in his
opinion, the benefits to be derived from
tbe new road would more tliau compen
sate for any loss to tbe lessees.
The vote was then taken on the pas
sage of the bill, and it was passed—yeas
184, nays 25.
Those who voted in the negative were
Messrs. Bond, Broyles, Crazier, Daniel.
Dial, Gaskins, Gray, Hall, Hammond.
Hemy, Hightower of Early, Hightower of
Stewart, Jemison, Kell, Kennedy, Mat
thews, McClure, Post, Rankin, Smith of
Union, Tliarpe, Walker of Crawford,
Wheeler, Willingham, Wilson of Bui
lock.
[You will see that tho two representa
tives of Bibb county, wliQ voted at all,
were against the bill. The Speaker, o:’
course, did not vote, but your reporter
knows that he was iu favor of the bill,
and would have voted “ayo” if he had
been upou tbo floor.]

THE RAILROAD COMMITTEES.
The almost daily joint sessions of the
railroad committees of the two bouses arc
now interesting occasions. They are held
in the afternoon in tiie Senate chamber,
and are not only attended by the com
mitteemen and other members of the
Legislature, by the Railroad Commission
and representatives of a number of rail
roads of tbe State, but also by a large
number of citizens not immediately in
terested. Wednesday evening we noticed
several ladies in tbe gallery. On that oc
casion the whole silting was devoted to a
hearing of Judge Chisholm, of Savannah,
vice president of rnd counsellor the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western railroad.
To say tbat he made a very able speech
would be au inadequate acknowledg
ment of its strength. We doubt not tbat
it was tbe most ingenious and able argu
ment tbat has yet been produced on his
side of the question. As this matter is
one of much interest, aud as au Important
report from the committee on subjects
cognate to his argument may shortly be
expected, we propose to give your readers
a brief statement of tbe maiu points
made by Judge Chisholm.
He said that he had no objections to the
Railroad Commission as a permanent
State tribunal, but be wanted to limit its
extraordinary powers and to deprive it of
some of Its barshjomedies. Neither did
he object to giving the commission power
to cheek unjust discriminations aud the
allowance ot rebates by railroads. What
he objected to was its delegated power to
rcgulato rates and its summary, despotic
processes for compelling acquiescence by
the railroads in its decrees. He contend
ed that as the constitution of Georgia re
quired the Legislature to regulate railroad
rates “by the passage of laws,” tlie Gen
eral Assembly had no right to invest a
commission with tho making of such laws;
it was its duty to do the work itself. Tho
commission had not only made such
laws under the title of “Rules aud Regu
lations,” but it had made provisions lor
the summary aud arbitrary punishment
of violations of its own rules and regula
tions, and not of the laws of the Legisla
ture. Ho insisted that oven if tho Gen
eral Assembly could delegate such legis
lative powers to a commission, ft could
not give the commission greater pow
ers than tiie Legislature itself,
possessed. The Legislature was required
by the constitution in tbo passage of such
laws to give all bills three separate read
ings on as many days, with other provis
ions to put the public on notice and to al
low a hearing to ail parties interested.
But these “rules and regulations” of the
commission, -having tlie force and effect of
laws, were suddenly sprung upon the pub
lic and upon the railroads, without any
such notico or deliberation. The first
uotice the railroad companies had of such
decrees was tho appearance of “bulletin
or circular No. ,” very much resem
bling military orders in a time of war,
and quite as arbitrary. Tho means ot
enforcing obedience to these decrees were
equally despotic. The committee pos
sessed a combination of legislative, exec
utive and judicial powers which constitut
ed a despotism. It cveu hau the
power to make evidence in support of its
own authority and rules—a power which
common despotisms did uot possess.
Iu rcieretice to the recent decision of
Judge Woods, touching the points above
made, Judge Chisolm said tbat he did
not consider the matter os res adjudicate.
Judge Bradley had granted a temporary
injunction, and Judge Woods had de
clined to make the injunction permanent
—that was all. There had been no final
adjudication of the cases. He offi>et the
ruling of ono Federal judge with tho
ruling of another of equal rank, and con
sidered the maiu question yet undecided.
He said that even if the vesting of such
great powers in a commission was consti
tutional, it was not right. It might be
productive of great mischief. The com
mission had just as much right to limit the
rate of travel to two cents per mile as to
three. It might, by its arbitrary rates, so
depress railroad property that, millions
would bo lost in a day. The commission,
he contended, had made themselves the
managers of railroads, instead of regula
tors aud guards agaiust abuses. They fix
ed aud* uged the income of the roads.
He said Fuat there could be no success in
operating railroads where oue party man
aged the income and another party the
expenses.
Judge Chisholm asked the committee
to make some Important changes in tho
bill which tlie railroad commission have
asigtd tiie Legislature to pass, and of
winch you have seen a copy. He wanted
it divested of the power to make rates,
also of its legislative and executive pow
ers. He wanted the law so framed that
the railroad companies should only be
punished lor “knowing ami willful” vio
lations of tbe acts of tlie Legislature, not
for violations of the rules of the commis
sion, whether knowingly and willfully or
not. Col. Barnett iutiinated a willing
ness of the commission to accept the
interpolation of the words “knowingly
and wilfully.”
A large portion of Judge Chisholm’s
speech was devoted to a reeital of the
damage done to his own road by the rules
of the commission. We give you only
his argument on tbb general aspects of
the question.
The committee will hold another ses
sion on Friday afternoon, when Gov.
Smith will reply to Judge Chisholm, and
probably Gov. Brown will reply to Gov.
Smith.; We will try to give you notes of
their arguments also. M.
Atlanta, August 12.—After the read
ing ot the jonrnal, Mr. DuBignon, on her

SPECIAL ORDER.
Tlie House resumed the unfinished bas
in, as ot Wednesday, being the bill for
the better management, regulation and
control of the State convicts.
The first question was on the amend
meut offered by Mr. Miller, of Houstou,
to the substitute offered by Mr. Reese, of
Wilkes. Mr. Miller’s amendmeut was
adopted.
Mr. Sweat, of Clinch, had read a bill
which ho offered at a former session, and
which was adversely reported up»n. His
bill provided for tho abolition or tbo lease
system and a return to the old penitentia
ry system. Ho advocated tho system
proposed by himself in that bill, as the
jest that could be adopted, but was will
ing to take the substitute of Mr. Reese as
tiie next best.
Mr. Jemisou said that tho discussion
had drifted from its moorings, and was
now dragging its anchor. Ho contended
that the substitute of Mr. Reese did not
vary the existing lease system. It was,
therefore, useless to talk about vested
rights. It proposes to put into active ex
istence tho safeguards provided lor by the
leaso law itself It had been admitted
that these had not been enforced. Then
let other treans offenforcing them be pro
vided. He said Mr. Hammond had ap
pealed to the prejudices of the House by
referring to the coinplaints of those med
dlesome people who were the descendants
of those who landed from the Mayflower.
He read from the lease act to show that
tho Governor was authorized to aunulthe
lease in the event of the abuse of their
powers by tho lessees, or of their failure
to observe the requirements of the Govern-
or and tho principal keeper; also, to show
that the Governor was authorized to make
Investigations atauy time. He Insisted
that these provisions showed that the State
had not surrendered its rights over the
convicts. It had not done it, and could
not do it. But tlieso provisions had not
been put into vital, active operation. The
suhslitutoofMr. Reese proposed to doit
—to put the laws into active and effectual
operation. He denied tho truth of reports
of tbe superior health of the convicts—
said that it was not possible thatpeoplo
confined and worked as they are should
be exempt from the average mortality.
Mr. Lewis, of Milton, asked If the pres
ent penitentiary system did not enter
largely into the iato canvass for Gover
nor, and was it not sustained by a major
ity of sixty thousand?
Mr. Jemison said that it did enter
largely into tho canvass, but denied that
it had been sustained by the people.
Mr. Walker called for the previous
question, but the call was not sustained.
Mr. Tharpe moved to lay tho bill on
the table. Lost.
Mr. Estes read from the report ot the
investigating committee, showing that the
committee had reported complaints of
the convicts rather than facts of their own
observation. He said that complaint was
a habit of human nature. Tho soldiers
n the late war always made complaint of
had treatment. With how much more
reason might we expect complaints,wheth
er well founded or not. from convicts who
were made to work. He criticised tbe re
port at some length, and read from a re
port of tiie physicians at one of tlie camps
denying the’truth' of the complaints that
the convicts were made to work when
sick.
Mr. Milner said that tho physician
lived twenty mites from the catup, and
knew no more of tlie condition and treat
ment of the convicts than gentlemen on
this floor did.
Mr. Estes asked if the physician was
not to be heard as well as the convicts.
Mr. Milner asked if the attempt was to
be made to disprove the report of an im
partial committee of the General Assem
bly by the testimony of hired employes
of the lessees.
Mr. Estes Insisted that he wanted both
sides to be heard. He then went on with
his criticisms, ne said tbat the first mur
derer made the complaint, “My punish
ment is greater tliau I can bear,” aud
that was always the case with persons
confined for crime, lie made a most
eloquent appeal for a fair hearing to tiie
lessees and justice to them. Mr. Estes
said that he would vote for the substitute
of Mr. Reese, but he did it with trust. He
was willing to give it a trial. He feared
that tlie verdict of tlie people five years
hence would be, we sought to better tbat
which was good enough, but we only
made tilings worse.
Mr. Miller, of Houston, said that the
gentlemen from Thomas and Hall had
drawn luto the discussion a foreign issue.
The investigating committee had made a
report, but tbe House was not asked to
adopt that report. It was only asked to
adopt the bill reported, or the substitute.
He supported the substitute In a sensible
and practical speech, contending that the:
lease system was a necessity forced by
tbe fact tbat nine-tenths of the 1,250 con
victs were common farm laborers. The
question, then, was the best way of reg
ulating a lease system. He thought that
tlie best plan was to put the government
under officers of the State, whose duty it
should be to protect the rights of both
lessees and convicts, aud to see that the
latter received, only proper punishment.
Tlie substitute provided for tlnee men,
who would give their whole attention to
the wotkings of the system—who would
be, somewhat like tlie railroad commis
sioners, a part ot the machinery of the
State government. He claimed for tiie
scheme beiore tbe House tbat it was tbe
best, tho safest aud the wisest that could
be devised. He made, as he always
does; a calm, but sensible and pointed
speech. He closed by saying that if any
thing that he could do or say should aid
in securing the passage of the bill, be
would regard it as a, crown to all his leg-
isiative labors.
Mr. McBrydo proposed au amendment
limiting the working 6T the convicts to
ten hours per day; also prohibiting negro
bosses whipping white convicts. The
first of tiiese amendments was lost. The
last was withdrawn.
Mr. James offered to amend by prohib
iting the managers from being connected
in any way with the lessees. Adopted.
The previous question was called and
sustained.
Mr. Milner closed the debate in a short
and spirited speech.
The vote on the adoption of the sufcsti-
stnto was taken by yeas and nays, and
stood—yeas 121, nays 20.
Mr. Hammond desired to offer an
amendment reducing salaries to $1,500,
but was ruled out of order.
The substitute provides for the election
by the GeneraLAssembly.pt.a . board of
managers to consist of three persons, oue
of whom shall be a physician. At the
first election ono is to be chosen for two,
one for four, amt one ior stx years ; after
wards new elections are to be for six
years. Tlie board are to have and exer
cise supervisory powers over the lessees,
with power to frame all necessary rules
and regulations for the control ot the con
victs, and to inspect at least one convict
camp every week, without giving previous
uotice. The board are to visit the camps
to enforce ther rales'And regulations as of
ten as they think necessary. Ail powers
now vested in the governor and the prim
clpal keeper are to be vested in the board.
They are to make reports biennially to tlie
governor, aud recommend such legisla
tion as may be from time to time demand
ed. Office of principal keeper to be abol
ished, and a secretary to be appointed by
tbe board at a salary of $1,200—the prin
cipal keeper to be the secretary until the
expiration of his present term of office.
Tho board are to select a physician for
each camp, who most make daily visits
to their respective camps. The salaries of
tlie: members of the board to be $2,000
per annum and expenses.
The vote on the passage of the bill thus
adopted as a substitute, was—yeas 07,
nays 44. So the hill was passed.
The House adjourned at half past oue
o'clock. M.
Atlanta, August 13.—The Senate was
not in session to-day. -
ROUSE.
After the reading of the journal, Mr.
McBryde moved to reconsider the vote
by which the House yesterday passed tbe
penitentiary bill, so as to allow him 40
offer an amendment reducing the salaries
ot the managers. .
Mr. Miller, of Houston, opposed tbe
motion. He said that the circumstances
under which the hill was passed were not
snch as justified motions to reconsider.
He also contended that the salaries were
uot too high. . .
Mr. Winslow thought the salaries exor
bitant, and faTored reduction. He also
supported reconsideration because he
was opposed to the bill on its merits. He
contended that the managers could do
no more than the Governor could now do,
and wanted the supervision of the Gov
ernor to be maintained.
Mr. Mitchell, of Gwinnett, favored re
consideration.
Mr. Turner, of Monroe, opposed it in a
very forcible and logical argument. Ho
contended thafit was not the policy of
the Slate to make money out of the con
victs, but that it was its true policy to get
the best men to fill Important public posi
tions and to pay them fairly for their ser
vices.
Messrs. Middlebrook and Hammond
argued in favor of reconsideration, and
Mr. Turner again opposed it.
Amotion to lay the motion to recon
sider on the table was lost—50 to 74.
Mr. Winslow called for tlie previous
question. Tlie call was sustained.
The vote was reconsidered—75 to 47.
Mr. Stanford offered an amendment
limiting the travelling and other expenses
of the managers to S500 per annum, but
withdrew it at the request of Mr. Ham
mond, who offered to amend by striking
out $3,000 and inserting $1,500; also limit
ing expenses to tho amount actually paid.
This amendment was adopted, tbe
main question ordered, aud the hill again
passed as amended— yets <JS, nays 33.
Mr. DuBignon, at his own request, was
excused from voting.

viously before the House.

14, so as to requite $600,000 to be sub
scribed iu two years, the completion of

orously supported his amendmeut.
.Mr. Estes opposed the amendment.
Mr. Jemison paid a high compliment
to General Toombs, and said that he ap
pealed to the House to listen to his wise
counsel not to grant too much power to
these corporations.
Mr. Lester called for a division of the

St. Lotiit Fort-Dispatch.
An old-fashioned prairie schooner, with
a broad stretch of tarpaulin, rolled into St.
Lonis last Saturday and came to a stand in
front of a small hotel. The sight was so
novel that a reporter of the Post-Dispatch
hailed the bronzed driver, asking where in
the world he was bound. “Arkansaw,” was
the reply ; “we’re all tlie wny fr'm Kane
county, lllinoy, and we’re a headin’ Fr the
Bed river kentry.” At that moment oer-
tain menagerie-like sounds issuing from
the depths of tho wagon lead the reporter to
glance in. As he did so a woman's face
went blushing back nnder the cover
and several children bobbed their
heads np inquiringly. “You seem to
bavo a good deal of family,” said the
scribe, “Vans, in fact Fve got two fami
lies.” “Two families?” “Lm-hum,” he
granted affirmatively. “You see, Saman-
thy there’s got nine young ones and Iv'e
got seven and they ain't quite shook togeth
er yet. Way back in Kano county we’d
knowedeaoh other for some time. 8a-
mant hy there her husband wan’t no account;
he got to hog-stealin’ nnd tben ho got into

and sickly, aud so I shipped her to the folks
in Indiana and Samanthy and I started for

and saw her old man, and he guv his con-
ent.”
“So you’re eloping?”
“IVeli, we are sorter ’slopin’.”

The Difference.
Meri test her Vindicator
Discussing with an intelligent gentleman
recently the impropriety of voting un ap
propriation to the cotton exposition, _ we
quoted th. t paragraph of the constitution
which states that ‘The General Assembly
shall not by vote, or by resolution or order,
grant, any donation, or gratuity, in favor of
any person,corporation or association,’when
our friend asked with emphasis what we
would do about granting an appropriation
to the State University at Athens. To this
we have only to say that the constitution
expressly gives the Legislasure power to
make denations to the State University.
Article S, section G, paragraph 1, says t “In
addition to the payment of the annual
interest on the debt by the State to the
University, the General Assembly may,
from time to time, make such donations
thereto as the condition of the treasury will
authorize.’’ We trust our friend seee the
difference between making a donation to
the cotton exposition aud one to the State
University; one is forbidden by the consti
tution and tbe other expressly authorized.
A legislator who takes an oath to support
the constitution, it seems to us, cannot
vote a donation, or gratuity, or appropria
tion, or give money under any other name
to the exposition; but be can to the State
College.
