The motion to in definitely postpone waa lost. The bill and substitutes were all re ferred then to a special committee, to consist of one from each congressional district. After considerable discussion over agreeing to the amendments of the senate to the adjournment resolution, the reso lution was tabled. By unanimous consent the bill to create a new judicial circuit, to be known as the Altamaha circuit, was taken up today in the house and put upon its Mr. Humphreys of Brooks spoke in favor of it. Mr. Hill of Cherokee op posed it. •‘If there is too much work for that circuit,” said he, "some of the counties in it might be put on adjoining circuits. J am reliably informed that in one cir cuit which adjoins this one the judge holds court only eighteen weeks in a year.’ 1 Mr. Johnson nf Appling, the author of the bill, and Mr. Norman of Liberty spoke for the bill; so did Mr. Thornton of Wayne. Tbs ayes were 100, the naya 1^ upon the pusage of the bill The new circuit includes the counties of Appling, Coffee, Tattnall, Telfair, Montgomery, Liberty and Mclntoah. These were amongst the new bills: By Morton of Clarke: To Incorporate the town of Whitehall, in Clarke county. By Kembert of Murray: To allow I). M. Veden, a disabled Confederate soldier, to take photographs, etc., without pay ing a specific tax. By Edenfieid of Screven: To relieve Capt, John W.

The senate after the reading of the journal took up the substitute for the school bill submitted by the committee on public schools. The reading of the bill began with the f ourth section which relates to the f unds to be used for common school purposes. Senator Ellington moved to amond that section by striking cut that part of it requiring that tho funds raised by the agricultural department for the inspec tion and analysis of fsrtilizora. He thought that tho agricultural department needed this money for its own purposes. Senator Calloway did not think it just that ons class of citizens—those who utea fertilizers—should be made to pay a special tax for the use of a general land. Senator Irvine thought that the best disposition of this monsy was for the equation of the children of those who paid it. If there were an excess over the expenses of the department then he thought it should go to the schools. Senator Csbaniss favored giving the excess of funds arising from the agri cultural department to the schools. He was anxious that tho department should bo thoroughly supported. Senator Terrell favored the adoption of the section. Tho amendment was lost Mere discussion was had over the por tion of the asetion which gives the rental of the Weetern and Atlantic road for the first six months of the year to the public schools. Senator Johnson offered an amendment giving half the rental to the school fund. Hi* argument waa that the atato treasury needed the money for current expenses. The object of this section is to provide for the more prompt payment of teach ers’ salaries. Senators Terrell, Irvine and Callaway argued ageist the amendment. The amendment waa lost and section 4 yras adopted. Section 5 was amended to allow chil dren living near the state lines to attend •choola in another state end receive their pro rata share of the school fund. Senator Caban 1st offered an amend ment making the academic year begin on November 1st. This was adopted. The Motion was then adopted.

An amendment to take the election of the boards out of the hands of the peo ple wav loot. Senator Candler offered an amend ment taking away the provision for com pensation and exempting members of the board from road end jurv duty. The section was adopted with minor technical amendments, Consideration of the bill was postponed till Tuesday. The committee on corporations reported favorably the bills to charter the Geor gia Banking Company of Atlanta, and to emend the charter of llawkinaville. The committee on finance reported favorably on the resolutions to provide for codifying the criminal laws; to repair the capitol building, and to pay mileago to members for the present assembly.

The I foil a*. Atlanta, Sept. 7.—[Special.]—Tbe most elaborate question of personal priviiegs that has come up in tbe house session was sprung this morning by Mr. Atkinson of Coweta. It was in reply to the Constitution’s editorial on last Friday headed, "The Monkey and the Magazine.” Mr. Atkinson took it item by item, tho whole drift of his comment being that tho editorial waa inspired by per sonal malice end feeling growing out of the Confederate Homo bill. The charge that he (Mr. Atkinson) did wrong in accepting the fee of $1,000 for Mrvicet in a position that, as a member of the lest legislature lie helped create, was treated more seriously.

Atlanta, Sept, 7.—[Special, J—Thre is good deal of talk just now about the next apenkorehiu One of the name* most prominently motitioned in tld« connec tion ia that of Hon. John T. Boifeuillet of Bibb. Speaker Clark Howell, it haa been un derstood ever siuc* ho was ui.ide manag ing editor of the Constitution, will not be egsiu * candidate for the legislature. Considerable preisure was brought to bear hj his associates on the Constitu tion, when Mr. Grady died to have Mr. Howell withdraw from the caucus in which he waa then engaged and devote his whole time to the paper. But for the fact that he was then practically as sured of election to the apeakershlp, Mr. Howell would have retired then. But for the next race the hold is an open one, Mr. Boifeuillet is one of the most popular members of this house, a fine parliamentarian and a presiding of ficer of exceptional ability. If the "old members” of the next house could decide the speakership it ia a reasonable certainly that Blr. Boifeuillet would succeed Speaker Howell. It is eertaln, moreover, that in the event of hh election, Mr. Boifeuillet would re flect credit upon tho house and upon the constituency that elected him.

It appears that the matter had been effectually "huahed up” by the municipal and state authorities, but that will be difficult to do in the federal courts i'eter McMi# chael, the colored porter who was in charge of the blind tiger when it was captured by the Atlanta detectives, was arrested by Deputy Marshal Newt McDonald this fo cnoon. The charge against him ia "rctriiing without li cense.” Hit preliminary trial will occur tomorrow morning. The negro was notified several days ego by Dick Dow, deputy collector for this division, that he must pay the gov ernment apodal tax for retailing, which ia at the rate of $25 e year, to cover the time that the legislature haa beau in sta tion. He failed to do this, and the war rant was sworn out. Then I'eter wanted to pay it, and several legislators inter ested themselves in his behalf, but it was too late. Judge L Q. V.

HE Sirs FORTH HIS VIEWS TO THE COMMITTEE OF FIVE. Ilia Rrsinni (or Declining • Joint Debate Will* .Hr. ITsUea-tls Is Wllltuxto Address Ilia Legis lature When Asked. Atlanta, Rept 7.— [Speda!.]—Col. L, F. Livingston furnishes for publication tonight his reply to the committee of five that addressed him the request for a joint debate with Watson, fie says: "While acknowledging the compliment of your invitation, 1 am composed to de cline it. A joint debate presents a num ber of objections which, I am sure,when suggested, will commend themselves to your own judgment. In the first place, I am not aware that there is any differ ence of opiuioa between Mr. Watson and myself on the subject If we do not differ there is no room for a joint debate. As an Aliianceman, I stand on tbs Ocala pi at form. Its railroad plank Is as dafinite as any other in it, including the sub-treasury plank. That plank ia efficient govern ment control by means of railroad coru- m'sdnn*. snd if this means fails, then governmoot ownership.” The colonel goes on to quote the rail road plank and says there is no room for more than one construction of it. "An additional objection,” continued the colonel, "to a joint discussion, is that oo good can come either to the order that I have the honor to represent or the public. It would be construed ns an antagonism between Wataon and myself ami hailed with deiight by the enemies of the order ” Tha colonel »*y« he h in favor of en forcing paragraph 4. section 2. article 4 >i Hie atute coustitutiou. He continues: *1 do not know what dotailed plan Mr. Watson prefers to havo the legislature adopt so as to •<*< uro the only thing tbe framers of the constitution had in ’heir minds at (he time said paragraph of said sect inn and article was adopted, compe tition between tbe several linos oi rstl« roads in this state* The hill introduced into the kouse by Mr. Poihb of Og #• thorp*, and Senator Nunnally of the Twenty-seventh, will secure the benefits of competition to the people of Goorgift, whether the railroads are com bined or held and operated singly. And only through tbe rail road commission can we secure and maintain the benefits of corapetiti m, or such rates as would obtain whsre parallel roads exist. Certainly the framers of the conttitution did not mean to preserve coin petition to the large cities or terminal points only. They must have meant it for all the people, and at all points. And to do this we must rsiy «q>on the railroad commissioner elm build parallel roads to every station or depot in tbe state. Tl e much cheaper plan, aud far more satisfaction to tbe masses of our people in Georgia, ia to give the railroad com* iniesioners authority to secure and main tain the benefits of competition, if they have no! that authority now, end for a ju«t and reasonable penalty for each and • very violation of such rules and regula tions as are prescribed by aaid railroad commission. f desire tossy that any wise or just sud effective method for the enforcing of the siste constitution by your honorable body wiil meet my hearty approval, and when I can spare tbe lime, if it is the pleasure of the members or any number of them, to bear me upon the OcnM* plat form, including the railroad planlj-F.will cheerfully consent to address y<V|* Ac cept my thenks, gentlemen, viiation.

Sept. 7.—[Special ]—Larrr Gantt sold hit stock in the Southern Al liance Farmer, today, not to the com mittee representing the state Alliance who have been negotiating for its pur chase, but to Harry Brown, Editor Brown himseif is authority for this. ■ Another statement of some importance just ia this connection esa be made definitely tonight, that n that the present rtockholders will not ac cept the proposition made by the commit tee, which was to pay off the debts of the paper and take it for that. The stockholders’ meeting failed again to-night to materialize, as it failed Sat urday, so that no formal action has yet been tsken by the stockholders. It is certain, however, that they wiil not accept the proposition of the committee. "Now,” Col. Livingston was asked to night, "what will the committee do?” "I can't say," be rsplied. "That will depend upc n the wording of the reso lution passed in the Alliance convention, which 1 do not remember accurately.” "Does it authorize vou to make any other arrangement for a state organ, other than to purchase tbe Southern All iianc# Farmer?” "I cannot say definitely,” he replied. This resolution, by tbe way, wm not furnished verbatim by the press commit tee of the Alliance convention, so that reference to the official minutes will be necessary. Editor Brown’s Idea is that the committee wm authorized only to negotiate for the purchase of bis paper. "If no satisfactory errangsmsnts are made,” said he tonighL "then my paper continues to be the official organ, ana I continue editor of it My paper ia now the official organ. That may be styled ‘taking the bull by the horns’” Editor Brown's idea is that the South ern Alliance Farmer is private property, nnd will continuo to he the state organ whether or not the oommittee or the Al liance say ao.^ FOB yflLITlBT nilf.
