Attorney-General Anderson submitted an opinion to the Governor to-day upon the recent application niado by E nitentiary companies two and reo to take away tiie convicts now being worked by tiie Marietta and Nortli •Georgia railroad. The Attorney-General says: "Tiie applicants ask that tliesa con victs be delivered to them under thefFcon tract with the State— "1. Because the railroad company has given no bond except for the convicts received prior to September, 1878, and that tiie State has no security for con victs delivered since. 2. Tiie railroad company was entitled to only 230 convicts a year for threa years, ana has had largely more than that number tor a longer period. And should the application (or all be denied, that the Governor cause all received since September, 1883, to be turned over, claim ing that the delivery of these to the rail- road was only tor virtue of the resolution of the last Legislature, which the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional. A. If the application Ior convicts be dis allowed fn torn the penenitentlary com panies ask that the Governor suspend pro Unto the collection of hire under their contract with the State, until the contro versy between them and the railroad now pending in tho courts bo terminated. After a full argument of these proposi tions the Attorney-General advises against the application, on Uie ground that the railroad has complied with the law, liaa folly executed the bond required for con- victa received before and since last Octo ber, tnd that the question whether It has received all the oonrlcts ■ U is entitled to is, as the 8upreme Court iquestion of fact, tube announced, witli the votes which would have been cast by the Senators named, had they voted: Beck (aye) with Hale (no); Cameron, of Wisconsin, (aye) with George (no); Miller, of New York, (no) with Cam- don (aye); Plumb (no) with Vest (aye); Sawyer (no) with Kenna (aye). Tue preamble to the bill, as passed, re cites that a board of officers, convened by the President to examine and report upon the case of Porter, stated that justice re quired the President to annul the findings and sentence of the court-martial in Por ter’s case, and to restore him to the position of which the sentence deprived him, such restoration to take effect from the date of nis dismissal (rom the service; that the President bad remitted so much of the sentence os disqualified Porter from hold ing office, and that ill order to do justice to Porter it was enacted, etc. The bill then authorises the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint Porter to the position of colonel in the same grade and rank held by him at the time of his dismissal, and authorises the President, in his discretion, to piece Porter on the retired list as of that grade. Porter, however, to receive no com- pensation or allowance prior to his appoint ment under the act. Adjourned. HOUSE.

They all pronounce the disease to be genuine epizootic, but express surprise at its being so slightly contagious, climate ol Kansas and all other circum stances are so decidedly unfavorable to the development of the disease that all are confident that it can be easily and wholly abated by the destruction of infected herds and the disinfection of the premises, i it is only a question of a few dollars, no alarm has been felt since the call fer spec ial legislative action. In two weeks there will not be a case in ail the land. ErrixaHAM, III, March 15.—Simon Beattie, an expert, made the following statement totday: “The report that the foot and mouth disease is prevalent in Effingham anil adjoining counties, proves upon investigation to be without founda tion. I visited the largest herd in the county to-day said to lie affected with the foot and mouth disease. I found that the cattle had the foot rot, bat there was not the slightest indication of foot and mouth disease. The herd consists of fifty-one cattle, part of which have been affected with foul foot since aliout January 1, not being properly cared for. Tiie disease has increased, and some of the cattle have lost their hoofs. The disease is confined to calves and the younger portion of the herd. The old cattle and sheen in the same pasture show no signs of the disease what- erer. Of the fourteen head now suffering, no: one shows the slightest indication of diseased month, and all have ravenous appetites, indicating poor feeding. From thirty years’ experience in foot and mouth disease, having seen hundreds of cases, and from careful examination ot these coses, I am certain that these cattle are uot affected with the foot and mouth disease. From information gathered here in regard to other coses reported in this and adjoining counties, 1 am convinced they are similar.
