r the Bill onth*S«t
■e of the He 1
Macon Telegraph and Meatenger.
The bill introduced by Mr. Bice, of
Fulton, providing for the erection of
n nmv capitol, is already attracting
considerable attention. A brief syn
opsis of tbe bill shows that the build
ing is to be erected under the ohargf
and supervision of eight commission^
ers, to-wit, tbe Gorirbok of tbe State,
tbe President of the Senate and tbe
Spenker of the House, who shall serve
without compensation, and of five ad
ditional members, to be elected by tbe
General Assembly. The Governor,
President and Speaker are ex-officio
members, and the other five will be
“tbe executive officers of the commis
sion,” and will give their personal
attention to the details of the work,
and will be paid one thousand dollars
each per annum for their services.
The commissioners are required to
take an oath for tbe faithful perform
anco of their duties, and no commis
sioner shall have any interest wbatev
er in the contract for tbe erection of
the building, or for tbe furnishing of
materials, supplies, etc. Any viola*
Cion of this section of the act is made
a misdemeanor in offico, and will be
punished as such. Nor will any per
son employed by the commission be
allowed,^ under suitable penalties, to
have any interest in the contract—
The commissioners are required, as
soon as practicable, to select a plan
for a suitable building, not to cost ex
ceeding $1,000,000, add to be com
pleted by the first day of January,
1888. The snm of $200,000 is anno-
ally appropriated ont of any money
in tbe treasury not otherwise appro
priated, and should there not be this
Hiuonut in the treasury nvuilablo for
tom purpose from year to year, then a
lax sufficient to uiHke up the requisite
*niu of $200,000 shall be levied by tbe
Comptroller-General.
The seventh section of tbe bill pro
vides that “said capitol building shall
be built of granite rock and marble,
us far as practicable, end that all ma-
tcrisis used iu the construction of
said building shall be those found
mid procured within the Stnto of
Georgia, wborever the same can be
procured as cheaply an other materi
als of like quality of other localities."
It provides further that the capitol
shall bo erected on what is known iih
the city hall lot, which lms been do
nated by Atlanta for that purpose,
and that it shall contain suitable
rooms for the Senate and Houso of
Representatives, for tho Governor
and cbiof executive oflicors, for tho
supremo court, the agricultural and
school commissioners, tho principal
keeper of tho penitentiary and tho
stnto librarian, with suitable vaults
and places for tbe safe keeping and
preservation of public records, pa
pers, etc.
Tho commissioners are instructed
to advertise for bids to erect the
building, and for supplies and mate
rials, and to tako a satisfactory bond
from tbo successful bidder, who must
bo “the lowest responsible bidder.”—
It is made tbe duty of the commis
sioners also to submit a full and
detailed report to each General As
sembly at its regujar^session of their
actings and doings, including a state
ment of all expenditures.
Tbo bill will dodbtless provoke
much discussion, but it is too early to
indicate with any degree of certainty
what tbe resnlt will lie. Mr. Bice is
a hard worker, and very popular in
the Hoiisj, and if the bill can bo car
ried at all at this time, he is the prop
er man to put in chnrge of it.
The proprietor of a restaurant ad
vertiaed in an Arkansaw newspaper,
and refused to pay the bill at the end
of the month, declaring that it was
no bene& and that he would not pay
for wbai.W/.did not receive. The
newspaper man remonstrated, and
the restaurant man ordered him oot
of his hobse. The next issue of the
paper contained a few paragraphs
which did not prove uninteresting to
tbe restaurant man.
This world has ever been filled
with spiteful rivalry. The man who
started the report that he fouqd cat
hair in tbe hash of Meckleton’s res
taurant is unquestionably a slander
er. We have eaten at this restaurant,
and we can truthfully say that we
never found cat hair in the bash nor
dog hair in the atmp. Another man,
regardless of truth, declared on the
street yesterday that he had found
three crickets and a horse fly in one
of Meckleton's biscuit This is too
ridiculous. We never found three
criokets in one of his bosenih”
Another paragraph said, “Meckle-
tou’a restaurant is tbe best bouse in
town. Don’t believe the slanderous
rumor that he nses hospital sheets for
table cloths.”
Tbe restaurant man was so mad
that he wanted to shoot tbe editor,
but, cooling down a little, he swore
ont a warrant for arrest on the charge
of slander. Tbe editor was arraigned
before the court, bnt the just judge,
after bearing the evidence and read
ing tbe paper, dismissed tbe case.—
The restaurant hasn’t bad bnt one
customer since, and he was a blind
mao. It is not right to cheat a news
paper.—Arkamds Traveler.
A Memphis magistrate bad before
him one morning last week a young
man who at a masked ball tbe night
before had figured as George Wash
ington, to whom, however, his resem
blance wns so entirely superficial that
he became drunk and abusive before
tbe night was over. The magistrate
pronounced sentence in tbe following
homely butemphatic language: “Now
if yon bad got drnnbas a private cit
izen, and had cussed and ripped as
sneb, I should have fined you five
dollars, but inasmuch ns you sppeured
lit the'masked ball and committed the
otlunse while personating tho charac
ter of George Washington, tho rever
end father of our country, I will have
to gently stick yon for $20. I won’t
have this patriotism business brought
into disrepute.”
A novel experiment to test the en
durance of tho Cavulry Brigade of tbo
Imperial Guard stationed at Warsaw
was performed a fortuight ago. Ten
officers, chosen by lot, and their com
mander, Geueral StroukotT, rode 103
Hides on a course laid out around the
MokatofT Plain, adjoining Warsaw,
between tho hours of (J:3U s. in. and
■>:30 p. in. They changed their hors
es as often ns they wished, in most
eases fivo or six times, and rested on
ly twenty minutes daring tbe day.—
They were weighed* before starting,
and at tbe end of the trial all were
found to have lost except Gen. Strou-
koff, the average loss being about four
pouudB. Neither the men nor their
horses appeared to be much fatigued.
