Session.
Atlanta, Nov. 13.-~f8pccial.]— 1 The
Senate wae not in session to day. The
House met at ten o’clock.
Mr. Tate, of Pickens, Chairman of the
Special Judiciary Committee, reported,
recommending the passage of tho follow
ing bills:
No. 7. To create a Board of Commiss
ioners for the county of Hall.
No. 8. To repeal the Act establishing a
City Court in the county of Hall.
By unanimous consent, tho following
bills were introduced:

strangely gifted min. J He wr*te an
article once for the “Christian
Union” which the paper published.
The subject matter was education. Tho
article attrno’cd considerable attention,
and was extensively copied, and elicited
tho most favorable comment. The editor
complimented it in the highest terras—
using such adjectives us “strong,” “forci
ble.” “pungent,” and “scholarly”—meet
ing Mr. Flounnoy sometime after its pub
lication, Mr Cobb asked him why be did
not contribute further to the “Christion
Union.” “I did,” replied John Jacobus,
“but my articles were rejected.” “What
was your theme,” queried Mr. Cobh.
‘Polygamy!” replied J. J. Mr. Floun
noy was at heart a polygamist, advocated
trigamy, because it was more convenient.
Judge Cobb thinks that his idea was that
theoretically, prolygamy was tho best so-
cialy system, but that the poorest of men
to control and govern ,are so different in
their degrees that a modified form of po
lygamy was safer than unrestricted po-
lygainy, |Mr. Flournoy was a gentleman
of immense personal courage—once his
mind made up he was as brave a min !
as ever lived—ho had the courage of his 1
convictions, and carried into affive, and ,
we believe, successful operation his pccu- J

mistake in our compilation of the figures,
but there was something wrong some
where, for at the expiration of about
three raonts the cotton receipts of the
town approximated seventy-five thou
sand bales, and it was a bad year for
cotton, too. I have always thought
th.;t had the plan been continued, Ath
ens’ cotton receiwts would have gone to
a couple hundred thousand bales. But
it haa to be discontinued, for the editor
declared it was hurting the paper.

The promise was sacred.
The census of 1880, ss compiled by
the United States authorities, presents
some curious figures in reference to
Clarke county. To begin with, in point
of area, the county is one of the smallest
counties in the State, if i> >t the smallest.
In 1800 its population was greater than
in 1870, and it had not been divided
then. In 1880 its population was less
titan in 1870 or in I860; to tho stranger
looking at these figures the natural In
ference would be that the courty was
retrograding, but not so; between 1870
and 1880 a slice larger than the present
county was cut off, and the increase in
Clarke’s population can lie readily seen
by the small difference in th. inhabi
tants as shown in the census of 1870 and
18.nO. The city of Athens live a popula
tion considerably larger than that of
Oconee, and about three limes as much
as the population of Clarke, exclusive of
the city. Whether the country people
have been, moving to town or not, tho
population of the county outside the city
is very stationary. Foreign horn citi-
sans are few in Clarke—the Jews pre
dominate, and the Germeus come next.
Tha Irish hav. buta small contingent.
I see Iho Banxm-IVatcuae endeavors
to give tbe weekly cotton receipts of tho
