the appropriation which will remain alter
all preferred claims shall have been paid.
It F |s estimated that there will be
s balance ol about $100,000. The mana

Argument to the Attorney-General in favor
of having the entire appropriation applied
to the payment of claims against

A REVOLUTIOM IN TELECRAPHY.
The 8urn'talng Invention That Mny Super-
■•Oetha Tel,phone and the
Morse Srstt m.
Pbiladeubia, April 6.—A new applica
tion of electrical science has been msde
here that promises to go far towards revo-
Intlonlslng telegraphy and supplanting the
telephone In popular favor. It is nothing
leas than the discovery of means by which
anybody cspable of manipulating an or
dinary type-writing machine may, srtih
equal ease, rapidity and precision, send
and receive message# over a,telegraphic
wire. Should this Invention do all that Is
clilmed for it, and Indeed, that It seems
lolly capable of, there seems to be no good
reason why the plat es of expert Morae tele
grapbera may not be tided everywhere by
girls,clerks, expresameD.station agents and
other non-experts, so at once reducing
greatly to the public the cost of telegra
phy and increasing facilities by the estab
lishment of at lesst <0,000 new telegraph
offloes throughout the country. In places
where they have not heretofore been. For
reasons best known to the company con
trolling this most Important invention, its
operations hare nntil now been kept a se-
cr *L Its office and operating rooms, at
327 Walnut street, have been carefully
guarded against reporters and the men in
terested have been es close mouthed as if
t had been a political mystery instead ol
a step in progressive science that they
were concealing. To-day, however, Ihe
writer found means to be present at a se
ries of exceedingly interesting tests of tbe
practicability of tbe new system, which
constituted an entirely private exhibition.
A pnblic exhibit will probably be made
next week, on which occasion represents-
tmg of tbe press will be invited to attend.
Toe distinguishing features of the new
system—which takes Its name from tbe In
ventors, Mr. George M. Hathaway and
James II. Linvllle-are tbe entirely novel
transmitter and receiver employed. Those
two instruments, although put near to
gether here upon a table, bare between
them about a hundred miles ot ordinary
telegraph wire coiled abont the room,
through which their connection Is made.
In point of fact, tbe transmitter and tbe re
ceiver are exactly alike, the sat e machine
serving for either use as required. Its
fiont Is almost tbe same as the key-board
of acalligraph or type-writer, the letters of
tht alphabet and the numerals standing up

Philadelphia, Pa., April 10.—It Is ru
mored that linker Bros., of this city, have
received offers from 81. Petersburg to pur
chase the steamships San Pedro and Ban
Pablo, built aome years ago Id Philadel
phia for the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The San Pedro was launch
ed on September 8, 1882. Bbe
has three decka, la 380 feet long, 42 feet
breadth of beam and 30 feet depth of hold,
and has a carrying capacity of 3.1100 tons.
The San Pablo la a counterpart of the San
Pedro. The chief advantage which these
two steamers have la their vast coal carry
ing capacity. It la claimed that they can
atore a sufficient supply ot coal to enable
them to remain stars a longer period than
any other veaaala afloat. Moreover, they
bare aufficient stability to carry modern
gu s on tbe upper deck, andthougb by no
means fast runners, their speed of fifteen
knots per hour, co.i blned wltbtbalrabhlty
to remain m long at sea without going Into

A Negro Recovers Damages.
Chattanooga, April 11.—In the United

from a first class car of tbe Western and At

log ignored a request of tbe conductor to
go into another car, recovered a judgment

wheel lyiog horizontally, upon tbe cir
cumference of wbich the lettem and
numerals are In hiyh relief. Behind
this is a vertical column, around wbich
blink piper is placed tad by a simple me
chanical device moved ap line by line as
desired. The paper almost touches tbe
lettered face ot the wheel. A small Inking
roller governed by a spring supplies color
' tbe lettered wheel. Inside the column
e small hammer that strikes the paper
sgelnst whatever letter may be directly
betorelt and so prints It upon the surface
of theypaper. All that seems aim pis enough.
The mystery Is below, In tbe intricate and
delicate electrical attachments by wbich
variously graduated currents are led over
the thirty-eight or forty wires from tbe
keys to the printing apparatus, and at tbe
same time to a connected Instrument tar
away to record both •imultaneously and
with perfect accuracy on every key
that la struck. Tbe wire connecting
the Instrument is single, bat thoee gradu
ated currents not only pus along It with
out confusion, but even meet and past la
opposite directions at ths same time. This
waa fully demonstrated In to-day's teste.
The touching ot a key indantly produced
a letter npon the paper ol both instruments
and letter after letter followed as rapidly as
a skillful type-writer operator could touch
the keys, uutll many msrsagra bad been
exchansed. It was observable that tbe
wheel, when retrogression in tbe order ol
the alphabet was necessitated, whirled
clear bock to a fixed point each time, aa
the wheel ot a “gold and stock indicator"

greater rapidity and so tittle affected trans-
mtigion that forty to fifty words per mln-
ate wete easily sent by a person who was
not at all an expert, and received aatomatl-
cslly at tbe other end ot the line wlthont
errors.
One of the gentlemen connected with
Ihe new enterprise—one, by the way, of
high standing as a practical electrician—
said concerning tht novel Invention: “Tbe

Charleston, S. C., April 11.—The
Charleston Presbytery adopted to day by
a large tnejorltr an overture from the
S neral astembly ot 1881 striking out from

band's kindred nearer In blood than of her
own."
scheme worts smoothly, it Is detera imd
by our bosses—that is, tbe big host and
t"e little ones—that the State and Federal
offices are to go hand In hand, that they
— common spoils aud belong alike to the
ring. Atlanta, as heretofore, furnisbrs
the headquarters for these political opera
tions ana it is yet to appear that the lower
hslf ot the State it to he invited or allowrd
to alt any higher In the councils than In
the pist. After the last gubernatorial
campaign the idea gained same prevalence
that Macon or tbe section below wou d be
permitted to famish Georgia tbe next
Governor, and several able and die-
tinguiabed gentlemen in that sec
tion bare beeu kindly mentioned
in that connection. It is
not credited, however, by any Intelligent
observer that any sutlt thing is really con
templated. There is no tangible evidence
of any surfeit of office-bolding In tbu part
of tbe state on tbe part ot the old poUUcsl
manlpnlatota, and it 1s likely to be as
close a corporation as ever before. If the
lower seciim ot the Slate have any hope
ot sharing In the office, and administer ng
the affairs of tbe State, th*y will not ooly
have 11 ask for wbsi they want, but they
will be forced to fisht for It. If they in
tend to make tbe fight, a little vigilance
and a little watch set on the situation will
convince them that it wonld be w-ll to
make arrangements pretty soon to he on
the field. I look for developments before
a great while, which will put the Slate on
notice of the plans and combinations here
for the future.

Very much more than can be taken in a
snpernclal glance li meant by a rounded
century of time Volumes and pages
could be written upon the theme ol all-
embrscing events that cluster within the
last Imndrrd years. Three generations ol
mankind have been born, and tbe vast
majority of those generation* departed to
tbe Iona ot shadows. Here and there, os in
the eras ot Sir Moves Mootefiori.of Eng

a remnant ot highly favored persons can
claim to hava spanned tbe years of the
Chronicle; but these exceptions ere few
end far between. When tbe Chronicle first

but little dreaming Ibat ha was
to make tba tour of Eu

Kmperor of France, and a captive upon a
loos barren isle In the Atlantic. When the
Chronicle wee first lamed, Lvd Byron bad
Dot been born. Three years were to elapse
before that event, which began tbe career
ol a mighty bat wretched spirit that still
haunts ths Alps, tbs Appsninea, and mo

1821, recorded the death of the renowned
Nspolaoo, and In 1821 that of tha famous

0. Hill, Esq., whi writes the interesting
and Instructive legs! notes for your paper,
Is enthusiastic over tbe snccess of tbe
Deorgls code of laws, and has made sev
eral allusions to Its origin, plan and scope.
As tbe subject has been thus rec ntly
dlscu-sed and may oe again, It seems ap
propriate that one of tbe original oommls-
oners of tbe coiiflcatlon should place on
record aome ot tbe material tacts concern
ing it, that eiWieoas impressions msy not
hereafter be taken for Ihe truth of hiitory.
My information at the time wu that the
idea of n code of laws for Georgia first as
sumed practical shape with George A.
Gordon, of Chatham comity, who was one
nf tbe mem Mrs of tbe Legislature of 1888.
Col. Gordon had married In Huntsville.
AU , and from hi* vtoita to ibat Discs bad
become familiar with the code ot Alabama,
published In 1882. Becoming • member
‘ tbe Georgia Legislature, be made such
representations of tbe utility ot the
Alabama code to the other mem
ber* as to satisfy tbent of tbe ne
cessity of one for Georgia and a law to pro
vide for lit preparation was enacted with
out opposition- Having heard from time
to time t dlfierent version ot tbe origin
and plan of tbe rode, I examined the
jouin-tlt of 1858 to see II tbe Information
given me was correct, or tl I bad been uu-
der a wrongimpresdon for ths last twenty•
six years, aud found I bad not been in
error.
In the Honse journal of 1848 alp. 06 it
will appear tbai Mr. Gordon, ot Chatham,
on November 29, introduced the IillowlDg
bills:
A bill to be entitled an ant to provide
bettor means for tbe navigation of Romney
Marsh.
* t-lll to be entitled an act to provide
for the codification ol the laws of Georgia.
A bill to be entitled an aot to incorporate
tbe Savannah Floor Mill Company.
A bill lo be entitled an act to amend tbe
act to tnnorporste tbe Orphans’ Homo ol
tbe Protestant Episcopal church ih Chat
ham county.
A hill to be sntl-led an act to incorporate
tbe Oglethorpe Light Infantry.
Tbe bill which Mr. Gordon, of Chatham,
Introduced to provide lor tbe oodificatiou
ol the laws ot Oeirgla became a law on
December Odi, 1858, and will be found In
toe laws ot that year at pages 95 and 86.
The moat material portion of It thua reads:
“That itsboll be the duty ol said comml*-
s'oners to prepare for the people of
Georgia a oode which shall, as nearly aa
p-aciicable, embrace in a coodrnsc-1 form
the laws of Georgia, whether derived from
the common law, the constitution of the
State, the statutes of the State. Ike decisions
of Ihe Supreme Churl or the statutes
ol England ot force lo this Btate, and staff
6* modelled, tf practicable, upon the promt
cods of Alabama, 11
The Italic* In tbe above quotation from
the law are my own, for the purpose ol
calling attention—that tbe law provided in
express terms lor tbe coditiratlon ol the
com'mon tow—the decisions of oar Bu-
preme Court, and to be npon the plan of
the Alabama code. All tbe mat-rial pro
visions ot tbe lew were, in the original bill,
Introduced by Mr. Gordon, except the pro
vision for Including “tbe statutes of Eng
land of force In Ibis State," which wai
sddrd by amet dment lo the Senate, and
ffered by John A. Tncker, of Stewart
county.
The journals and tbe law thu* firmly
established tbe claim of the origin, plan
and eoope of the present oode to olonel
Gordon, liewutbesonof W. W.(Jordon.

Company, and tbs brother of the present
member ot the House lrom Chatham of
that name. About ttrelve years ago he

between tbe States." He Inherited tbe
drst-rate practical ability possessed bv
bis father, and wai on* of the rising law
yers and politicians ot theBute st tbs time
o( bis removal.
Tba lew provided for three commission
ers ot codification, to be elected bv tbe
Leglrieture. Iverson L Harris, David
Irwin and Htrsohel V. Johnson ware
elected. J ndgs Harris and Governor Ji*hu-
eon declined to serve, on the ground that
ttwis inipractlcible locality the common
la or and tbe dubious ol the Bapreme
Court. In tbe recess of the Legislature
Governor Brosra appointed, in their stead,
Thomas R. It. Cobb and myself, who were
elected at ths succeeding session of ths
Legislature.
Tbe reason given by Messrs. Harris and
Johnson for declining was a grave one, and
v*r^ generally sustained by tbe profession
it than became difficult to find a lawyer
who bad the necraasry qualifications and
had confidence In hia ability to oodify the
oomraon law and the decisions of the Ba-
prams Court. From "a survey of tbe
firid," Gov. Brown thought Tom Cobb the
only raw* iu iue-SUU she these
requisites. He waa among ths first of
scholars, he wu thoroughly read a* a law
yer, and bod been and then weeaprofaesor
in ths law school of Ibe Btate University.
He was freshly familiar wilb tbs elemen
tary principles of law and equity to be
foond in the text books, and bad perhaps
lectured to tbe classes oh every branch of
tbe law. Thus be was. by niton of theta
advantages, tbe only lawyer of ths Bute
already prepared and equipped for the
work. Thla being tba cose, ba was assign
ed the second pert, ca'tod the civil oo*ls,
and the fourth pert or penal laws. Tba
penal tees had been codified since Ibe
year 18 3. and needed only slight, skilled
labor thereon. I believe it is now gener
ally admitted by the profession, after tbe
work ot Mr. Cobb and tn expe
rience nnder it of more than
twenty years, his codification of the
common law, and 'he general principle* ol
>aw prevailing in this Bute Is a success. A
few of the abtoit of tha profession yet
doubt tbe wisdom of Ihs undertaking.
But while General Oubb executed the
most difficult part of tba code, and that
rvqolring tbe most learning, yet, as a'
it is not "mainly" bis. Tne other
