with breaker Little in the chair.
Mr. Berner, of Monroe, moved to reconsider the
action of the House yesterday In defeating the bill
prohibiting peddling on the Unde of another With-
out the consult ut tue owner, watch was sus
tained.
lbs House then took up the special order cf the
day, which .was the consideration of the resolu
tion by Mr. Haralson, of Quitman, providing for
ths sale or lease cf the Western and Atlantic rail
road.
Mr. Harrison took ths floor and briefly explained
the object* of the rviolation which as to adver
tise for bids for the lease or ea'.e of the property,
and that all bids reoelved we*e to be presented to
the next Legislature for their consideration.
Mr. Hill, of Meriwether, opposed the resolution.
He thought the resolution was premature, lie
thought it was the beet to advertise whether the
State Lad any road before one waa advertised for
sale. The lessees had threatened to wreck it. He
favored the settlement of dispute between the
• gad the State before advertlsti g the property
He was opposed to the sale of the road, and did
not think that any steps should be taken to release
the property until the present lease waa over.
He said that the resolution meant u ithlug, at It
forced something on the people that they could not
do. The State could not sell the road, neither oould
it lease it until after the pre«ent lease expires and
the condition of the property known He tiougbt
that thp State Road wonld rent for 150,000 a month,
and b» favored leasing It at ths proposed Ume.
a 'McLendon said thstltwas not pro oaedto
r sell or lsa<e the Western and Atlantic rail-
road. The resolution provided for the ascertaining
jm< which price the road could be teased or sold.
Mr. Buff wanted to know what was meant bv the
words‘subject to acceptance or rejection
laid that thsae words looked like butlness.
Mr. McL ndnn said that they meant that the
neit Legislature waa t) dispose of the property to
the heel advantage.
He did not think the Western and AUantio rail-
*o*d was worth as much as some people thought,
tr would tease for |5»,om). a* had been stated on
the floor. If it waa not for the Lon’svUl* and Nash-
villa railroad, which was largely Interested in ths
business of the Bute road, this progeity’s business
would be a mere bagatelle. Since the construction
of the Eaat Tenneesee, Virginia and Georgia the

Mr. Uarrell, of Webster, favor
.favored the resolution,
He wanted it ascertained what the property could
be sold or liaaed for. At the nest election the peo
ple* who ore the stockholders of the property, oould
elect a Legislators ee a board of directors to carry
out their wishes. Ths Legislature had no right to
sell the read without consulting the people. He
th nght every member of the Legislature would be
elected with reference to hie views upon this sub
ject.
Mr. Felton spoke in favor of hie eubsltute, which
wu reed when the bill came up on Its third read
ing. and waa mads a special order.
Abe substitute provided for the continuance
theosnenhlpof the property by the State. The
majority report was taraningtess. It was vague,
without opinion and without a policy. Hs believed
that the resolution hal but one purpose, and that
was to sell the West rn and Atlantic railroad. He
called upon the Legislature to come up like Geor
gians and legislate for the beet interests of tbs peo
ple of the but*. The members who signed the ma
jority report, without exception, be said, favored
• the sate of ths property, and that w-s what the
* resolution meapt.
He said that ths gsnlteman from Thomas (Me
London) et the teat Lestelatnre offered a bill to sell
the Weetern and Atlantic railroad for 96.OUO.tM>,
and imidmI carried away with the idea of selling
the property.
Interrupting him, Mr. McLendon stated that Maj
Oam obeli Wallace had named that fig ore as th<
value of the property.
In answer to taV*. Mr Felton said that the opinion
* of Msj. Walla;# on this subject bad no mors effect
upon him than did the opinion of the gentleman
from Thomas (McLendon). Jast imag'n* the Oov-
