Atlanta, November 6.—The action of the laat
Legislature in giving 190,000 to the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad is beginning to bring a few
chickens home to roost
Recently, when James P. Harrison, for years
the public printer of Georgia, filed a bill of Injunc
tion, asking that the treasurer of the State be re
strained from cancelling the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad bonds, and that the railroad com
pany be restrained f; om receiving them, the local
papers here re r used for some rcapon to print the
news, and it was left to the Tklroiupu to inform
the people of Oeorgla that an effort was being made
to prsvent the treasury of the State from bring
robbed.
Tbe history of that bill and the rather remarkable
procedure by which it was throttled has already
bceu published in the Trucorafii.
The Constitution, after a noticeable silence ln
regard to the ma’.ter, is out in an editorial to day
which opens up some interesting speculation. The

last Leg*fixture if they would agree to pay certain

eminent students, and writers, thofe who have
investigated at home and abroad the whole snbject
of prisons and prison discipline, are active partici
pants in the work of this association. The practice
and theory, experiment and speculation, obst rva-
tlon and experience, the man of bo ks and the
man of works, are here found side by side. No
one familiar with the dlscussl*
and papers of the society can
have noticed the increasing harmony in tbe
iriuclple, profession and methods of all elements
rought together ln its meetings. Ita faith is that
the people of the United Btates are forever here
after to be m^re closely nnlted than ever before.
We believe that by our institutions and by
tbe nature of things we have, and arj
compelled to have, the same interests, the same
history and the same destiny. Our union, in tbe
lauguage ot the 8upreme Court, U "an iudndructi-
ble union of indestructible Bta'ee." We go one
step farther. We believe that society lafso compacts 1
together, that Providence hath so ordained,
and doth so govern things, that whether
we would have it so or not, we must
be and are onr brothers’ keepers. No man's
family la safely entrenched against vice and crime,
and the shame and wretchedness to which they
lead. Let the outcast and criminal bo forgotten or
disregarded, and onr whole society will suffer from
the taint of human degradation. Like blood poi
son, it will spread through and through
social system until it reaches
heart. This serious snd
mighty truth Imposes a duty which no society esn
afford to neglect- Civilized society cannot negleet
it and no well Informed Christian eoclety ever
will neglect it.
Mr. Henry W. Grady made tho closing
address.
At tho closo of tho programme of the
night HPHsion, repeated call* were mado for
General Gordon and Hon. Emory Speer,
who came forward and expressed their
thanks for tho compliment paid them.
Judge .Speer in a few pointed remarks
boro npnn the importance of the establish

special suggestion es to ita location. He
thought, however, if it was ever established
it would probably be in Atlanta.
The secretary made an announcement

Webster county, Mr. James F. Harrison, a judge of
the Superior Court of this State, whose name is not

identity is likewise left in the dark.

is a taxpayer of the State, and after consultation
with eminent counsel believes that the resolution

Thera dons not team to be anything criminal

Mr. Harrell, of Webster, was a member of the

Your correspondent, with a view to getting at
some facts in this matter, called on James P. Har

called their attention to the
editorial referred to. Mr. Harrell was
fonnd at the Kimball Uonse. In answer to my
questions he said he had read tbe editorial ln tbe

that he waa representing klr. Harrison v nn the line

Mr. Harrison was found in his private offlee at

prove that there was. He assorted furher,
that tbe Constitution would be unable to prove any

that they would necessarily fall to the ground. He

While tbe volume of work executed at
tho mints during tbe year was greater, be '
aaya, than that of tho previous year, the
expenditures are leas by *197,089. Tbe to

The silver coinage amounted to *30,022,347
against *28,848,959 in tho preceding year,
*29,838,905 consisting of stiver dolDrs,
and tho remainder of anhsidiary coin. The

Philadelohia and New Orleans. In addi
tion to the gold and silver coinage 1,700,-
(151 of ipinnf coins »c?2 struck c£ the
valne of *1,738,705.
Tho total coinage was 38,384,022 pieces,
of the value of *04,117,105. In addi
tion to the ooinaga, the value of
gold and silver bars manufactured

Deliveries on purchases of silver bullion
for mandatory coinage of sllvtr dollars

In addition to the deduction of $30,000,-
031) from the estimate of bis predecessor of
the stock of gold coin in the uouutr), made
in bis report, tbe director has made n
farther deduction of $2 -,324,1195 for errors

gold $101,580,00 -, silver, calculated at its
coinage valne, nearly $125,000,000. Not-
withstanding tbe Urge depreciation in

has steadily increaaed, Tbo Unit
ed Htates still preserves tho
first rank among th. nation, of th. world
as the largest producer of the precioas
metals, its production of gold snd silver
daring the year having reached the sum of
$83,400,000, or abont two-fiftbs the produc
tion of tbs whole world.
The ooinage ot gold by tbe n.tlon. ot the

to-morrow.
By far the most serious char* j In the Constitu

nil strong lobby to pass the rusn ntion anbait-
luting Oeergia material for oolltte limestone In the
new repitol. It charges that in this lobby were
officials of the Ktate, and * judge of the Huperior
Court, who was paid for bis services. On Ibis
charge comment has been rife t o-daj. ?*•?'

Bnpeiior Court ere indignant that * charge sol n-
deflnite should have been made by the Constitution.
There are twenty-one Unpsrlor Court Judge* tn
the State, and until tbe Constitution give# a pit lie
explanation they ell rest under the Implies (UU of
lobbying for * fee.
The current Ulk to-day was that reference was

It is asserted by those in n position to know, that
the Ootstitutton will be nnable to prove what it
h*e charged, end will Aad itself ia * position both
awkward end serious.
Members of the Legislature, in speaking of the
matter to-day, aey that It waa a proper enhfect Utt

be introduced at an early day to Invee Igate the
