That Convict Bill —Tho Atlanta
Constitution has tbe following:
An impor/ant hill passed the Senate
yesterday and goes to the House. The
bill was a bill reported by tho committee
on penitentiary as a substitute for the bill
introduced by Mr. Hawes, to provide for
a better inspection of tho convict camps
of the State. The bill provides that the
Governor shall appoint an assistant keep
er of the penitentiary , whose term of of
fice is by the bill made of the same dura
tion os that of the principal keeper, the
assistant to be subject to the same rales
as govern the principal keeper, aud his
salary is fixed at twelve hundred dollars
per aunum. The bill makes it the dnty
of the principal keeperor assistant keeper
to visit each camp once a month without
giving any previous notice of the visit,
aud inspect the camps and report under
oath to the Governor soon after each
visit the condition of the camps and any
other information in reference to the
management ot the camps, and lfany
abuses are reported it is made the duty ot
the Governor to cite the lessee to show
cause why the contract should not be can
celled. The lessee is required to appeint
some person, to bo confirmed by the Gov
ernor, whose duty it shall he to inflict
punishment on the convicts when such is
necessary. Upon tho discharge of a con
vict he or she is to be provided with a
suit of clothes not to cost less than six
dollais, and also furnished with trans
portation to the county in which he or
she was convicted. Mr. Westbrook offer-
ed a substitute for the bill and spoke in
favor of his measure. Mr. Winn made an
able argument in favor of the bill as re
ported by tho committee. The substitute
was lost and the hill reported
by the committee was passed by
utianimous vote. Those voting
for the bill were Messrs. Baggs, Baker,
Brown, Bond, Balt, Byrd, Carter, Curtis,
Denmark, Duggar, Eouchc, Gorman,
Gueriy, Harris, Hawes, Hackett, Hicks,
Jordan, Johnson, King, McDaniel, Mc
Whorter, Meldrim, Moseiy, Neal, Parks,
Payne, Price, Reid, Smith cf the fifth dis
trict, Smith of the twenty-second district,
Storey, Westbrook, Wilson, Winn—35.
When Mr. Westbrook’s name was called
he arose and stated that although his
measure had been defeated, he believed
that the l/i!l 0:1 which the vote was being
taken was a good one, and was in the
right direction, and he would therefore
vote aye. The announcement was greeted
with applause.
The Milledgevilie Union says new ba

Death of B. F. Boas, Esq.
We chronicle with deep regret the death
ofB. Frank Ross, Esq., which occurred
yesterday afternoon about two o’clook, at
his residence in Jones county, near Had-
dock’e station. No gentleman was better
known to the people of Macon than was tho
deceased, where lie had lived in active bus
iness long years and boen honored with
public and private manifestations of favor
and esteem. The announcement of his
death will he a surpriso to many, for but
fow knew of his sickness. Mr. Ross retired
from business and moved from Macon
some few years since, partly,
we believe, owing to ill-health, whiohhas
not for the recent past been much improv
ed. Our last recollection of seeing him in
Macon was in attendance on tho com
mencement of Wesleyan Female College
last summer.
Mr. Ross was formerly mayor of Macon,
captain of the Eloyd Rifles and hold a num
ber of other places of publio trust. He was
for long years a furniture merchant of this
city. He was a brother of tiie late J. B.
Ross, Esq., and leaves scvorel children.
His son, Mr. Floyd Ross, in response to a
summons went over to Jones county Tues
day evening, and was present at tho death
of his father.
Mr. Ross was universally esteemed for
many noble traits of character. A Christ
ian gentleman, a fond and devoted hus
band and father, and a public-spirited
citizen, lie Bleeps well and takes his eter
nal rest after a long life of joy and love to
his own blood, and usefulness and benefit
to mankind in general. What brighter ep
itaph could be written?
