THE GEORGIA. LEGISLATURE THB MABBLB LOBBY INVESTIGA TIOU WILL T*KK MUCH TIME. THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH? TUESDAY MORNING. 1) CEMBER 7,1886.—TWELVE PAGES. jf 0 SfMlon or the Committee Y<st«rd y for Want of a On.rum — Import* t fitru*urea U» fore the L< tare—OiUs Introduced. Atlanta, December 3.—It appears that the iuriatigirtiDR committee haa undertaken a muoU butter job than was anticipated when the resolution was introduced. Each ses sion of the committee eeema to open up oew fieldB for iuveatigation, involvts moru men and brings out new transactions con nected with the matters with which the committee is charged, llow many pubho official* and promiuent men are touched be- tore tbe work of the committee is finished it is impossible to say, bnt readers of the evidence will note that many already promi nent, not refer: ed to when tho ivestigntion began, have been identified as dramatis ptrsonw, and hive plaotd on them the uunien of mating a clean showing. The outlook is that it will be some time before the committee can get turengh. It has not yet concluded with the evidence tn the first branch of the investigation; the S'coud branch, relating to the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, will not be taken up before next week. There is already a mass of stenographic notes of evidence in tho hands of the stenographer, which must be transcribed, and this wnl probably be doubled next week. And it all rnuat be put in shape before tho committee can re view it and reach a report to be submitted to the General Assembly, It may bo nec essary for the committee to ask leave to sit during tbe recess, if it should be deter mined to bold a summer session. If there should be no summer session, the present session will have to be greatly protracted, if this committee is to complete iis wotk. The committee adjourned last night to meet again at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Tho place of meeting was changed to the Ssnato chamber. At the hour appointed a p rtion of tbe committee met, but at 4 o'clock a quorum had not arrived, and Cli mman Hnwkesadjonrned the session to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Colonel L. N.

Hurrison, was present this afternoon, lie d«t ires to appear before the committee, and is apparently loaded. Ua will be given a hearing to-morrow. LCOISI.ATIVK NCITSS.

Coming out on tho steps ot the Capitol I got in a casual cou- versaii’-n with one of th. guards, who told me of Governor O.nneron'a losing a hone a shm lime before, eta. This was abont 11 o'olock.
