HR. IIARDESIAS'S REMARKS.
Mr. Hardeman, in moving the adoption
of his report, begged tho House to con.
sider that this was a question greater
than Grccnrillo'a haring the railroad,
and greater than the Macon and liir-
uiingliam haring a charter; that the vote
of every member should bo recorded as
given and none recorded but tb ose vot
ing; that it had been announce d by tho
clerk that the arcs were 80, which passed
the hill. That bad that announcement
been 87 the friends of tlio measure were
in a position to have obtninod fiio other
one necessary vote, and that if tlioy did
not the bill should huvo iieen voted on
bv tho speaker; that *ho atllnrativo of
this qnestion ehuuld not lose the
right of haring tho speaker vote; that
common justice demanded this: that tho
measure on correct mg the mistake should
be, or if it was then being, originally an
nounced, and the speaker when lie now
announces gj should have the some right
as if ho was then so announcing; that
that was justice, and whether men
favored Greenville or not, they ought to
do tills justice if they wautod to stand on
law. The precedent! worn that tho
speaker could vote. It was law that a
iunman could not Iki hired to impeach
IiisveriUct What a precedent it would
ho that when tho vote had been verities!
and somo members had lost their right*
thereby, then a change could bo mude.’-

it is undoubtedly the intention of its
authors to introduce it.

Called Back From the senavo.
ATI.anti. Oct. S3.—[Special.]—It was
n surprise to many yesterday that Judge
Goo. JL Lester was not a condldnto for
the judgeship of tho Blue Bidgo circuit.
This morning Mr. Smith of Gwinnett
rose to n question of privilege and said
that it had beea his purpose to make a
Statement in reference to Judgo Lester,
when tho general assembly went into the
election. But he was unavoidably ab.
sent yesterday. Ho explained that
Judge Lester had withdrawn from tiio
Alice nt tho tho solicitation of his friends.
TOE TCItrnmSE WAGON BILL.
The hill by Mr. Johnson of Clinch to
protect public roads and bridges from
heavy timber and turpentino wagons
was taken up again this morning. It
had been defeated once nnu reeonsid-
end,
Messrs. Jolnwon of Clinch, Bates of
Murray and Humphreys of Brooks spoko
iu favor of the bill. It was agreed that
tho lumber and turpentino mon cut up
tho roads and tear up tho bridges with
their lieavy wagons, and not being sub
ject to road duty, do not help to keep
them in repair.
Tho bill provides that when these men
or their employes are not subject to road
dufr they shall repair all damage their
wagons do tho roads and bridges.
A number of amendments to oxorapt

The two reports differed only in the
recommendation made by Messrs, Harde
man and Johnson.
The majority report was that the com
mittee had carefully investigated tho
yeas and nays. It was found that Messrs.
Holliday, Ilyers and Sims of Wilkes are
recorded as voting aye, and that Mr.
Tarver was recorded ai voting aye, and
his name had afterwards been erased
and not counted.

The minority report of Mr. Hill ends
here, bat the majority report made by
Messrs. Hardeman and Johnson, both of
whom had voted for tho passage of the
bill, states that if the voto of Mr. Holli
day is not allowed to lie dunged on tho
list tho voto would stand 88 to :!0. It
tl^n recommends that tho clerk correct
the yeas nnd nays, and that tho speaker,
in announcing the result as corrected,
have tho samn rights and privilege as it
orhrinslly announcing the r<> tilt.
Mr. ltill made a vigorous speech in
support of his report. Ho showed that
Mr. Holliday's vote had been “no;” that
be had call’ d the clerk’s attention to it,
nnd tho clerk had iui his pen through
"*■* “Y” indicating that Mr. Holliday
* 1 frvll IflAlf's
had voted "aye.” Kven if Mr. Holliday',
▼oto had not been counted iu tho “xyo”
column, it would have left the result’90,
oud not have changed the result The
recording of the votes of a; tentecs in tho
“aye” column had effected the passage
of the bill. It was not right to let the
Mseaker cast his vote now. The onlv
Question was upon the correcting cf the
‘ouroal.

biJi^ns a Senate bill, and, in ntcordanco
with the rules, had been trnnsmiltod to
tho Senate.
Mr. Fleming of Ihclimond offered a
resolution that tho bill bo brought brick
from the Senate for tho purpose of cor
recting the vote.
31 r. iAinar of Richmond nrgttcd that
the journal was an eternal verity; that
it was the essence of truth, and could
not be Impeached. When tho journal
states that 90 votes were cast for a bill,
no matter how many rotes wero actually
cast, it was conclusive evil!onco as to
those 90 votes.
Mr. Fleming argued that it was not
justice or good | arhamentory law that
nn error in the journal cannot bu cor
rected. In this case notice had been
given that a motion would i>o insdo to
correct the journal, nnd so much of tho
journal as related to tho voto was pur-
poscly left unapprovid of.
31 r. Atkinoon of Coweta indignantly
protested against not correcting a palpa
ble error in the journal. He moved to
table Air. flemings resolution. Host.
Mr. Patterson moved to amend Mr.
Fleming’s resolution by striking out “in
order that a correction may be made.”
The amendment was lost.
Air. Fleming's resolution asking tho
Sonato to return the bill for a correction
of tho vote was adopted.
CI OYDUIt’a TAX BILL.
Tho special order for the day was Col.
Crowder’s bill to tax notes, bonds, mort
gages. etc., held by foreign money lend-
cis. It propines to tax tho local agents
of foreign companies that lend money
in Georgia.
This hill had been defeated onco hut
was reconsidered and made social order.

Thoro was a brisk little tight over a bill
to incorporate tho Georgia, Alabama and
Florida Railroad Company. It was a
Senate bill which tho friends of tho Bain-
bridge, Cuthbert nnd Columbus railroad
charter sought to amend by inserting a
provision, that tho now road shall not
parallel tho proposed Dninbrigo, Cutb-
Lcrt nnd Columbus railroad. This
amendment was vigorously fought by
Messrs. Tigner and Gilbert of Muscogee;
but it was put on, and tho bill passed.
Tiic amendment will bo fought in tho
Senate.
The following bills wero passed:
To in cor j .orate the Savannah and Islo

To incorporate tho Bainbridgo and

and Sbakc.ipcnrc’* tragic tsceno whero

mi mo on which Uie murder of Edward II.
was committed. Then thero nre tho
royal beds of Hampton Court, with tlioir
rich hangings, and the- famous bed of
Ware, in Hertfordshire, has ling ago
lain proverbial. Nothing is known of
the original history of this enormous
Led. lead—no less than twelve feet square
—and which, iu veers poaL formed ono
of the dustingubfiing featurei of the inn
known as the Sarucm’s Head. Accord

uttns Forbrookc.n journeyman carpenter,
aud pte ented to the royal family in the
year 14'.3, Edward IV, rewarding the in-
du*try of thu donor hy granting him a
ii’iision for life. Anyhow, many strange
stories have centered round this bed, and
a popular legend mis that one Hnrrfaon
Saxbr, of Lincasliiro—a in.utur of tho
Horse to King Henry VIII—having
fallen deeply in love with tho daughter
of n miller residing near Ware, swoi© lio
would do anything to secure th© object

coming to the ears of tho king, who
happened to be passing through Wan* on
his way to hfa favorite retreat at Hert

bestow her bund on him who would con
sent to sleep nil night in the bed of Ware,
provided ho was found thero in the

prow al. but on tho following morning
ho was found on the Moor, covered with

That the ruling Passion aiserts itself
even in the very face of tlio grim de
stroyer is an axiom ns old us the lulls.
Its truth was evidenced by an incident
which recently occurred at tho city nnd
county hospital in t^an Franciso?, and
which was related to a Chronicle re
porter.
Somo two months ago two consump
tives m tho lost stages of the disease lav
dying on cots in close proximity to each
other. Both victims were (-(lorts. who
hy dfesip.Uion had contracted phthisis in
its inoat aggravated form. Ono was
known ns Bill Cunningham, a young
gambler who hail enjoyed tbo reputa
tion among Ids class as being n recxlesa
better on tho turn of a card. The other
was an English tailor named Staples,
whose sole passion was to wager what
ever ho possessed in support of any
opinion which he might express. The
nature of the nun, iu this uirticular at
least, was identical, and botli recognized
each other, in a *enso. na brothers in
misfortune. As they lay on their cots,
haggard nnd hollow-eyed and gasping
for breath, they daily was to i the rem
nant of their vital forces in bantering
one another about their npp urante.
“I say. Staples,” said Cunningham ono
morning in a voice scarcely above a
bonr*o whisper, “you’re looking blue.
Better brace up, old man,”
Staples, who really feemed to be a
dead man ns 1 © lay alruoH breathless
with hia glased eves half open and mouth
widely distended, pulled hiuiself to
gether with an indignant jerk and madu
an attempt to ra so himself upon hfa
arm.
“Billy,” said he. “you’re wrong. To
prove it I’ll bet y« u$l, the size of my
pot, that I’ll outlive ye,”
•TU ace that l eV replied Billy.
An attendant was chosen as stake
holder, nnd tho money (all they par-
K ased) v ai placed in ids hands. Tnon

who could retain tho spark of life the

two dying men glanced at each other,
each eager to snow tho other that hfa
stock ot vitality wan the greater. Ciiu-
ninglmm battled bravely, but ho was the
tir»t to show signs of woakeniug. Ho
finally resumed hfa old position, hut it
could bo seen that his respiratory action
was failing. Suddenly ho gave one
great gasp, and with that sign the spark
of life, prematurely cut off, was extin
guished.
“I’ve won tho bet,” said Staples, ns lie
smile.
Cunningham's body was at once re
moved to tho hospital morgue. The at
tendant had followed tho cortego to tho
dour and returned immediately to

From the New York IlerakL
London, Oct. 19.—What is going to
happen ia the world of politics? Koras-
something new, it fa clear, but a veil i«
over it as thick as that w hich envelope)
the venerable prophet of Ha warden. It
fa evident that jicople havo had enough
of the deadlock. They nro weary of
ing tho same side of tlio Irish question
everlastingly presented to them. Hence
there is a movement going on all through
the country. The Gladstonians being iq
opposition are naturally ’quicker todetei*
it tban tho government party. The
leaders are being summoned to’llawar-
den, one after tho other.
Mr. Gladstone has been asked what
means ail this hurrying to and fro? Ub
answer is to the elect that it has abso
lutely no significance. The great roan's
lieutenants have only called at the castle
to ask whether ho has slept well lately.
They have probably been informed that
ho has flept in his usual manner—that is.
ever with ono oye open.
DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDOB DEFEAT.
The stir in the country, tha uneaiy
twitching* observable in tho giant De
mos, havo not escaped Ills notice. He
means to have something to say to that
i*amo giant when tho right moment
comes. Homo time ago Mr, Gladstone
told us of a conservative lady of Ids a c-
(luaintanco who humorously reproached
him for not stepping down. “You are
always popping up again,” she com-
plainod. This lady must perceive that
lie fa at his old tricks onco more, lie fa
truly English, according to Napoleon's
standard, in never knowing when he U
beaten. In fact, who is to know when a
man is nally lenten in the political
nienn? Who was beaten so often and ao
hopelessly us Disraeli? Yet lie lived
through it and became prime minister of
England, ami bad he lived a little longer
ho would have been prime minister
again.
GLADSTONE SUFFICIENTLY CAUTIONIfc
Tho past is soon forgotten by the pub
lic. and tho English public 'fa particu
larly generous in that respect. It remem
bers everything that tells in favor of ita
old servants and pluses a sponge over
the rest. Therefore no one need be sur
prised to find that Mr. Gladstone is being
restored to popular favor. People are
getting over their alarm about home
rule. Thev think that the grand okl
man has had a warning; that he will be
more cautious next time he tackles the
nubject, and that he will contrive to do
justice to Ireland without endangering
tho empire. That is tho impression
which is spreading in tho country. It
partly accounts for the conservative re-
erses iu the leccnt elections.

There fa another force at work which
tho leading journals do not suciu to be

social upheaval which is daily acquiring

body of people. Wo have educated oar
