Macon Telegraph Bureau,)
Ho. 3'A Whitehall Street, V
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21, 1888. J
fhe business of the Senate opened today
„ lt h a motion by Mr. Whitfield to recon
sider the action of the Senate of yesterday
i„ striking out of the appropriation hill
,1,6 items for the support of the branch
(olleges.
Mr. Fil^eraid moved to table the mo
tion which did not prevail.
Mr. Massengale favored the reconsidera
tion. He w as absent from the Senate yes
terday and was surprised on his return to
leirn that the appropriations for the branch
oollege* had been stricken in .the Senate.
It was an injustice to these institutions.
They should be encouraged and supported.
It w ai also an injustice to the common
people of the state. It was a mere pittance
jjked for by them and should be granted,
To abolish these branch colleges is not in
the interest of the people of Georgia. It

The section appropoialing $8,700 for the
repairs on public buildings and for the
payment ot janitors and servants, coal,
gas, etc., was amended by the committee so
ns to increase the amount to$12,000, and
this amendment was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Kice the Senate re
considered its action in defeating the
amendment offered by Mr. Harris of the
third providing that if there should be a
surplus in the treasury after all of the ap
propriations for the years 1889 and 1890
are paid, said surplus'sball go to the com
mon school fund. The amendment was
then adopted. . _ _
The remainder of the bill was then read
and it was passed as amended.
THE TAX ACT.
The tax act then came up, and on mo
tion of Mr. Bartlett was considered by sec
tions. When the paragraph was reached
fixing the business license of liquor dealers,
it was f,ainil that the rommiltii: had fixed
the amount of such license at $75 instead
of $100, the amount at which it was placed
by the House.
Mr. Holmes offered an amendment to
make the amount $50 instead of $100.
Mr. Bartlett opposed the amendment of
the committee. He favored the original
amount reported by the committee on ways
and means of the House. He thought that
$50 was enough, and that besides this it
was an iujustfee to call upon the wet coun
ties to furnish money to make up the de
ficiency in tho revenues of dry counties,
created by prohibiting the traffic.
INCREASED TAX ON LIQUOR FAVORED,
Mr. Eiwards made an argument in
favor of the proposed increased. He said
that he was upjxjsed to the liquor traffic in

r COMMON SCHOOLS FIRST.
Mr. Shannon opposed the motion to re-
eonsider, and was opposed to making any
ipprouriation for the branch colleges of
the state, until the common school system
is perfected. When this was done he
yould willingly appropriate money for
[be branch colleges.
Mr. Whitfield made a strong and earnest
sppeal in favor of the motion to recon
sider. Ho had read an amendment he
would offer if tho motion to reconsider
I prevailed. <
• The amendment which was read for in
formation provided that each of these
branch colleges shall receive free of any
ohprge four pupils for each representative
in the general assembly, except that
counties having more than two representa
tives shall not be entitled to more than
sight.
Mr. Fittgerald opposed the appropriation
of money for the support of the branch
colleges.
The motion to reconsider was then put
sndprevailed, but when thevotewas again
taken, it was discovered there was no
change over the result of yesterday, and
that the amendment striking out the items
for the support of the branch colleges re
mained stricken for the bill.
THE ATLANTA UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION.
Mr. Gibbs moved to strike from the
tame section the appropriation of'$8,000
for the Atlanta University, which was to
bo paid out under theconditions prescribed
by a resolution of the last legislature—the
pledge of the Atlanta University in regard
to co-education.
Mr. Gibbs believed the institution had
forfeited its claim to tho Appropriation and
il ought not to he offered to them again.
The motion to amend was lost by a vote
»f yeas 8, nays 27.
ifr. Hall moved to amend the same sec
tion in the appropriation for the common
schools, by adding the taxes derived from
railroads, hanks, telegraph, telephone and
express wuipsilies, iuaui.uvc COuipAuie,
and agents, eewing machine companies,
billiard and pool tables license, tax on
professions and business of every kind, all
r ial taxes not already appropriated to
common school fund, and the half
rental of the Western and Atlantic rail
road not already appropriated, the same
not to take effect until after Jan. 1, 18S9.
fBARTLErr CALLS IT BURDENSOME.
Mr. Bartlett made an argument against
the amendment. He thought it an addi
tional burden upon the white people of the
Mate, who now pay nearly all the taxes,
for the benefit of that large class who pay
> comparatively small portion of the taxes
collected from the people of Georgia.
Mr. Rice opposed the amendment. He
thought that the whole mutter should be
left where the committee placed it.
Mr. firadwell favored tho amendment.
He thought the policy of the state was to
■cake the luxuries, the crimes of every
kind, corporate taxes contribute to the
common schools, and not to raise the
Money needed by direct taxes. When the
clause of the section making a direct tax
for this purpose comes up he desired to go
»pon record,
HALL EXPLAINS THE AMENDMENT.
Mr. Hall spoke for the amendment
offered by himself. He explained that his
amendment provided that the receipts from
the sources indicated should not be used
unless there should be a surplus in the
treasury. He believed there would be a
•aege surplus in the treasury under a
Proper tax hill. He believed there would
he found an increase next year of one
hundred millions of dollars in taxable
property of the state.
•"(.Ballard called the previous question
® 'he amendment, which call was sus
tained and the amendment was agreed to
hy a vote of yeas 24, nays 4.
Mr. Bartlett moved to further amend
“'section by striking out the item of
*“9,000 for the common schools for 1890.
foe amendment was lost.
Mr. Bartlett offered a further amend
ment to the section providing that the
•ommon school fund should be distributed
‘“.f*ch couty to tho teachers of white
children and colored children in the pro-
L»ac» paid hy tun white nuu
colored citiiens of those counties.
I "* state’s CHILDREN TO FARE ALIKE.
Mr. Hall opposed the amendment, call-
“!? attention to tho constitutional pro-
(Uion that with the exception of separate
rohools the children of the state should be
*Pon a perfect equality in the benefits of
u>e common school system,
the amendment was lost.
Mr. Bartlett proposed to amend same
■rottou by adding a provisor that none of
J e tain prescribed should be levied in
unties which haw* ibndf MtablblMd a
tnmon school system, nor (hall any ol
‘ * m °>iey so raised be distributed in such
counties,
Hartlett explained that his amend
J"c*t did not apply to municipalities but
jo-untie* which had followed the const!
ftttm. e,ta kli*bing a common echo.

to do was to crush them out by a meins of
high license. In one of the counties of his
district there were sixteen grog shops, and
that they were the means of ruining many
of the young men of his county, lie had
four sons, and he wanted them protected
from the influences of the grog shops.
Mr. Bartlett at the conclusion of the
remarks of Mr. Edwards read from the)re-
port of the comptroller-general that none
of the counties represented by Mr. Edwards
returned any liquor licenses, and stated
that if any was sold in them it must be
done by bind tigers, to which Mr. Edwards
made no reply.
Mr. Rice offered an amendment that
the increased amount collected on 'liquor
license in wet counties, be applied to the
common school fund of the counties in
which it is raised. He Baid that he
thought that he could see that the temper
of the House was iu favor of increasing
the license, and if this was done he
wanted the increase to remain in the
counties which were affected by it.
LIQUOR ALREADY TAXED ENOUOH.
Mr. Johnson of the twenty-fourth, said
that the liquor license in Columbus, which
city he had the honor to represent, paid a
license of over $600 to do business, and he
was opposed to any further increase. He
had noticed that certain senators, who
favored the increase, and who were repre
senting dry counties, had come there and
indulged pretty freely. They did this and
then wanted to crush out the business. In
his district the sale of liquor was legalized,
and as such he was wilting to vote for a
fare and just license upon the dealers, but
not for an extreme license.
The amendment offered by Mr. Holmes
making tho business license to sell liquor
$50 instead of $100 was adopted by a vote
of 18 to 14.
Mr. Hall offered an amendment provid
ing that tho presidents of manufacturing
companies be required to give in under
oath all accumulated surplus, bonds,
money, not** anil account*, clio-ca In ac
tions and other property, both raw and
manufactured, except working capital, for
taxation, which amendment was adopted.
Mr. Hall offered another xmeodmaot,
providing in taxing sleeping csr companies
tfcc value of all cars shall be ascertained,
also the entire mileage aud the proportton
which is in Georgia, which was adopted.
The tax act was further amended so ns
to exempt real and personal property of
banks which is represented hy capital
stock, but tax shall be required upon all
surplus or undivided profits.
> The llouse.
At the opening of today’s session of the
House Mr. Rawles, citairman of the com.
mitlee on the state of the republic, re
ported favorably a resolution offered by
Mr. Calvin of Richmond, asking our rep
resentatives in congress to use their best
efforts to amend the national bank act so
as to authorize the loan of money on real
estate collateral.
On motion of Mr. Rawls, the resolution
was taken up and passed.
Mr. O'Neill of f'ulton introduced a ieso-
lution authorizing the governor to appoint
an engineer to take charge of the machtuery
of the new capitol bulining, his duties to
commence Jan. 1. The resolution was re
ferred to the committee on public ptop
erty.

New York, Dec. 22.—Hnbbard, Price
A Co, in their cotton circular today, say:
Liverpool advices this morniog showed an
advance of about one point, and better feel
ing there was promptly reflected and in
creased in the New York -market, closing
firm at an advance of from five to six points
as compared with yesterday’s figures. The
most conspicuous buying has come from the
shorts, while some of those who were buy
ers for the past few days were sellers today.
The most significant feature of the market
haa been easy, with which prices have ad
vanced as compared with tho slow progress
of the decline and this evdeinces the existence
of very large and nervoua short interest.
The receipts are not up to expectations, and
estimates for next week range from 243,003
to 275/ 00. Advices from the more conserv
ative authorities In New Orleans da not give
any confirmation of Urge crop estimates cur
rent, and opinions there seem to be chang
ing in a bullish direction to some extent.

NEW YORK STOCK llOARO
Character and Extent of Business Uouo In
Listed Stocks Yesterday.
Nsw York, Dec. 22.—For Saturday the
stock market was unusually active today,
and the strength of the past few days was
again shown iu dealings, the net result of
the day’s trading being to leave tho great
majority of stocks fractionally higher than
last evening, while in most stocks the highest
prices of the week were reached. The in
terest, as usual ot late, was centered in coal
ers and Grangers, bnt while the latter were
strong throughout the session, the former
receded from their position as leaders in the
market, and actually show a material loss
for the day.
The principal buyers were commission
houses, while sellers were traders taking
profit, but there was no pressure of long
stock at any time.
The bears made a sudden and snccessful
attack npon Omaha preferred, and it got
down to 3 per cent, off from the last figures.
The temper of speculation, however, was
decidedly ^bullish, although the general ex
pectation of a very unfavorable bank state
ment was not wholly disappointed.
Tho prices at the opening were steady, hut
marked strength was developed immedi
ately and Missouri Pacific took the lead,
advancing rapidly until its gala reached \'A
per cent., Erie and Northwestern following.
The advance then met with a check, but
after the end of the first hour was resumed
The drop in Omiha preferred set the list
back fractionally, but more strength was
shown in final dealings and the market
dosed active and strong, generally at frac
tional gains for the day.
Of the important changes the Union Pa
cific’s sinking funds, registered, rose from
1 to ItO, while the St. Paul and Indinapolis
extension lost 1% and Erie funded coupons
1 to 87.
Sales aggregated 137,000 shares.

of Mimkacsy’s great picture,
“Christ Before Pilate/*
wlii: It Inn just l.een sold for over on*
hundred tliou-nnd dollar.., fo n fine etched
etiRravinp, lneaenrinB 22x'J8 inohei.
fn order to bring the picture within th*
reach of thousandx who cannot see or own
th* original, we oil. r it at a 4 nominal prio*
to our readers. The original picture vu
painted fivo years years ago by tie great
Hungarian AriiM. Munkacty, as th*
supreme effort of hit life and art in deal-
iug in tin spirit .if realism with a s i: rad
subject, and is one of the most remarkable
ana greatest pictures ever painted. The
Vnbject is treated with unflinching realism.
The s.-ene is in the “Judgment II II,” and
the hour “ICarly in the Morning." Pilate
is Bitting at the right on hie judgment seat,
his head lent in a questioning .it.'itude,
with Christ standing before him. A
heavenly submission is on his law, while
around the Governor’s exalted seat the
1’riests are gathered and the High l’riesl
Caiaphas is in the act ol arousing Christ
and demanding 11 is death “for announcing
himself * the h’on of Clod.”
Oxe cun -picunus figure among the mob
is that of a Jew shouting with them,
“Crucify Him," with uplifted arms, in th*
dense mob which throngs the palace and
presses upon the Homan soldiers, one of
whom is holding the crowd back with bia
spear.
Below the place where Pilate lita are
the accusing Pricets and other Judeana,
while the whole picture touches the ponu-
lar heart in a way that is bimply wonder
ful. It is
x i e LxreuLcst aim iviu^l aiu-
pressive Religious Piclure
ever painted, and people of all denomina
tions should get a c< py of it at once at tho
low price at which it in published.
It has already been viewed by over two
million persons, and is now visited hj*
thousands daily.
