in attendance. The journal was very long,
and at the conclusion of its reading Mr.
ltandall announced that there were no con
ference reports in readiness, whereupon
the House took s recess until 11 o'clock.
Mr, Davis, of Missouri, from the com
mittee on elections, submitted a report In
the Alabama contested election case of
Craig vs. Shelley, and it was laid over for
future action. The accompanying resolu
tion declares the contestant, 0. H. Craig,
entitled to his seat.
Mr. Bennett, of North Carolina, obtained
leave to tile a minority report.
Mr. Hill, of Illinois, on behalf of Mr.
Belmont, of New York, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported a joint res
olution requesting the President to nego
tiate with Great Britain for a renewal of
the Canadian reciprocity treaty of 1851.
Placed on the House calendar.
Mr. Kanney, of Massachusetts, from the
committee on elections, submitted a
unanimous report, confirming the right of
Martin Maginnls as delegate from Mon
tana Territory. Agreed to. The decision
of the prima facie right of T. G. Skinner to
his seat as Representative from the first
district of North Carolina was postponed
until the second Monday in December.
The House then proceeded industriously
to kill time and succeeded in its object.
The Mexican pensions bill was the pivot
on which all motions tamed.
At 12:30o'clock, with a view to removing
the impediment to the transaction of busi
ness, Mr. Bums moved to postpone farther
consideration of the bill until the second

dead-lock, and then, at 1:50, a recess was
taken until 3 o'clock.
After the recess Mr. Burnes submitted a
conference report on the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill. Of the 167
amendments placed on the bill by the
Senate the conference committee has
reached an agreement on all except three.
One of these is that appropriating 3250.000
to meet the necessary expenses attending
our foreign intercourse, to be expended
under the direction of the President. The
other two hare reference to the appoint
ment of a commission to ascertain the
best mode of procuring more intimate in
ternal and commercial relations between
the United States and the several countries
of Central and South America. The bill as
far as agreed upon appropriates 51,188,890,
being an increase of 3235.120 over the ap-
propriations carried by the measure as It
originally passed the House.
Mr. Humes said in reference to the first
point of disagreement that the conference
committee was so hedged in by obligations
that it was almost impassible for them to
discriminate between what ought to be
said and what could not be said. His int
rusion was that the public good required

ness every movement of tbe uncouth bird
be bad chosen for hts model. Its tottering,
tip-toeing gaitwu faithfully delineated,
aswu also its sudden springs from right

After the dance r. debate wu held. Sides

world of the farmer and the mechanic

[SPECIAL fOBBEgrOXDENCE.]
Atlanta, July 5.—In a recent letter to
the Teleobaph I made mention of the
fact that tbe State had been compelled to
borrow quite a eum ot money to enable
her to meet the interest on the public debt
accruing July I, and as well as conid be
learned from unofficial information set
forth the causes which led to tbe deficit in
the treasury, giving also tbe history of
tbe transaction. I naturailv evpected
there would be some inaccurac e i in that
report, while tt was substantially correct.
I have since beard the full facta of the
matter, and give them briefly as supple
mentary to the former letter on the sub
ject. It was some months ago that the
State Treasurer became satisfied that there
would not be anfficlent available fun Is to
meet all the July Interest. While there
were other funds in tbe treasury already
aet apart by the recent Legislature for
special purposes, there waa scarce i 100.00)
available for something over 5250.000 in
terest. Two or three weeks ago the Gov
ernor called a conference at the executive
office of a number of prominent and public
spirited citizens of tbe State to consult an
the matter and devise ways and means ot
meeting the situation. At that conference
there were present: Wm. G. Raoul, of Sa
vannah ; J. M. Johnson, ot Macon; Treas
urer Morrill, of the Western and Atlantic
railroad; C. H. Phinixy, of Angusta; Fer
dinand Phinixy. of Athens; General
Toombs, Governor McDaniel, Treasurer
Hoeer and Attorney-General Anderson.
These gentlemen met tbe trouble in tha
short and quick way, and before the con
ference adjourned every dollar of the
money needed was pledged and
made subject to tbe order
of tbe State. In round numbers the amount
so raised was about 5186.000, and it is
pr.ip.-r 1-1 menrinn tli.it tin- m mev *j« ad
vanced by the Central railroad, the Geor
gia railroad, the 'Western and Atlantic
railroad and tbe Southern Bank of Atlan
ta, an 1 all voluntarily, promptly anil most
generously tendered to the State. When
ft ia considered that this was done in the
midst of an extraordinary tightness of the
money market in New York and at home,
and that the balk of the amount was ad
vanced by Georgia railroad corporations
who have to be thankful for very scant
State legislation favorable to their inter
est, it is certainly immensely to their
credit, and tbe State has cause of congrat
ulation that her citizens are a great corpo
ration and made of each stuff.
It is a matter worthy of mention and of
compliment that the reliable old Southern
Dank, of Savannah, upon which there waa
a very senseless run during the recent
scare, illustrates her solvency as well as
her patriotism by pouring out her money
freely and generously to the use of the
State at a time when money is anything
but a dmg. It is. altogether, a notable
transaction in the history of the State, of
which the whole 8tate has reason to be
proud.
I understand money was also tendered
from other sources, both ia New York and
In Georgia, to double the amount wanted,
in the same spirit: but it was not needed.
The deficit in the treasury, os has been
"tated before, was due to the protracted
session of the Legislature, the extraordi
nary appropriations made, as well os the
reduction of taxes from three-tenths of L
percent, to two and a half-tenths of 1 per
out
The money advanced by the parties men
tioned will draw a very reasonable rate of
interest, and what at tbe time would be
coaaidtred almost nominal. They will be
reimbursed out of tbe new taxes.
Treasurer D. N. Speer has just returned
from New York, and r.-j-.riM a marked im
provement there in the financial situation
and that the feeling is much better than
when he was on several weeks ago.
TIIK JAMES MATTER.
The creditors of John II. James held an
other meeting this morning for conference
and to take such action as is necessary in
regard to the new bill filed by J. it. Neal to
nut the affairs in tho hands of receivers.
Na-.iI U a creditor t<> the <>*u*nto( $5,r*l0.
At the meeting it was found that. Instead
of damaging the scheme of adjustment al
ready under way, it was believed to be an
advantage. Up to noon, ?37,476.172
of creditors signed the agreement
of adjustment, in addition to
those who have already signed. All the
creditors have signe t, therefore, with the
exception of about $55,000. and It is confi
dently believed that much of this will come
into the agreement In a short while. It
can hardly De doubted that a failure of the
adjustment proposed will paralyze both
the creditors and the assets; and it is to
b-nojM-dlh.it it will v*-l be successfully
consummated. The bill of Neal-a $5,500
creditor—Is only a cloud as big a man’s
hand, and It remains to be seen whether
it will spread sufficiently to work a wreck
of the whole business.
It was a jolly and buoyant party which
left here last night for Chicago. Nearly
all the delegation was on band, and accom
panied on the trip by ouitc a number of
friends. The delegation is a representative
body of Georgians, bear themselves like
men worthy of the trust imj>oaed
on them by the party, and go to
the national oomotion in tin- interest
•ace, harmony and victory. It is to
jped that the same spirit will pervade
the whole convention and all of its deliber
ations.
The youngest member of the delegation
waa Mr. KugeneDart, the bright young
son of Hon. J. K. Dart, of Brunswick, who
S es to Chicago to look at tbe big men of
e country and see all the sights.
Capt. Bill Boss, a popular conductor on
the Georgia l'acitic railroad, lias been ap
pointed general superintendent of the An
niston and Atlantic railroad.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman arrived here
morales from Washington, cs hi-
way home. The popular Congressman ac
large looks hearty and bears his honors
weU.
Governor McDaniel has returned from
Rome and speaks in the highest terms of
the military encampment.
Nothing further has been beard of Ar
chitect Kdbrooke, but it is supposed he ia
on his way to Atlanta. He is wanted.
The close of the week finds Atlanta fi
nancially quiet, and there is little appre
hension of further trouble.
It is understood to-day that the city coun
cil will very soon consider, or rather recon
sider. the proposition made by the Chatta
hoochee Canal Company. The proposition
will probably be the same substantially as
the one first submitted by the company.
The city cannot any too soon get at the
business or some such improvement as
will give Atlanta a respectable and ade
quate system of water-works, and make
possible a thorough system of sewerage.
The necessity of it becomes every day
more apparent and more pressing. Tho
case cannot be stated too strongly, and it
ought to appeal very forcibly to the wis
dom and prompt action of the counciL

last years at the case in the composing

his relatives for the money.
The rod of Motes brought forth living water
