The Chinese.
A bill was introduced in the Geor
gia Legislature the other day to pro
hibit the intermarriage of Chinese
with whites. The News axd Ad-

the ground thit any legislation that
would prohibit Chinese from coming
into fhe State was legitimate.
A dispatch dated Victoria, B. C.,

A toono colored man named Banks,

The Swede’s life was saved, and now
Banks sues him for “goods sold and

Bisuor Beckwith, of Georgia, told

The Bishop said: “It ia the best plan

want to drink it by prohibitory legis

poisoning sets in and' death
ensues in a few days. Many
cases haTe occurred among the
Cooiiea on the railway, and are
always fatal, no cure being yet dis
covered. Those Chinamen who were
able staggered off to the over-filled
Chinese tenements. Others were car
ried on their comrades’ backs. Six
Chinese females, three having children
from ten to thirteen years old, was
brought by one Sing Sing, who intends
to ship them across the sound aa the
wives of Chinamen already in the
United States. This is an easy way
to baffle the law and enables the Chi
namen to send into America aa many
female slaves as they choose.
We see from this that the sente
Chinamen find Ways to evade the laws
of the United States against the im
portation of Coolies. We also see
tha consequences that would natural
ly result to uajif they were permitted
to come among us, bringing loath-
seme disease,’ and their unchristian
and beastly habits.
We wonld be glad to see the Legis
lature go still farther in this matter,
and enact such stringent laws against
the impormation of Chinese into the
State, that no attempt wonld be made
by them to gain a footing.
The Chinese hare had a foretaste of
Georgia indignation,’ bnt net sufficient
.to check them. They demorslixeevery
community where they get a foothold,
and the true policy is to enact inhibi
tory laws, and do it before it is too
late.
Raskin’s Bill.
The main features of what U known
aa the “Rankin Bill” are, first, that all
railway companies are required to
make a return to the tax receivers of
the countiee in which they have prop
erty of all the property they have in
said counties, 'and to pay taxes there
on just the same as in the ease of in-
divividual {taxpayer; and, second, to
make a aworu return to the Comp
troller-General annually of all their
rolling etock. The County Comifiis-
sloners of the counties through which
the roads run are to notify the Comp
troller-General annually as to their rate
of taxation for county purposes, and the
Comptroller-General is to levy and
collect the tax on the rolling stock
and to turn it over to the proper coun
ty treasurers. This bill, if passed,
trill largely increase the amount of the
railroad’s taxes, and it is very probable
that they will strenuously oppose its
passage by every means in their pow
er. Governor McDaniel, in his mes
sage, recommended legislation in this
direction, and we may look for the
passage of Rankin’s bill or a modifica
tion of it

Atlanta, Ga., July 17to, 1833.-
The Legislature has put on its every
day clothes, and settled down lo bard
work. Very little time has been con
sumed in speech making in either
house, this session, although some
very important measures have been
considered.
The bill reported by the Committee
on Redistricting the State waa read the
second time in the House this morning,
and will come up on Us third reading
early next week. The following is the
bill reported by a majority of the com
mittee:
race in order to become a Presidential
candidate, aaid: “I am a Democrat
and nothing else. My name will go
before the Democratic caucus for
Speaker, and I kuow enough to feel
oorlain that I will be its nominee for
that office. If there shall be any bolt,
it will not be by any friend of mine,
and all statements to the contrary are
entirely without warrant. I am not a
Candidate directly or remotely for
any oilier office than that of speaker.
That’s ail I have to say.”
of the
Associate Jdstioe
United States Sopreme Bench, made
a ruling in St. Paul, Minn., last week,
which hss excited much attention.
The case was that of Julia Crockstt
against the Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway Company for damages for in
juries received at Shakopee Station
where Julia fell between the cars and
the depot platform. The company aet
up aa a defense that the woman wore
a pullback dress at the time of the ac-
cident, and was therein guilty of con
tributory negligence, in that the style
of dress prevented the foil use of
natural means of escape. Judge
Miller ruled that the evidence was ad
missible and the point well taken,
saying that certain dresses were not
proper at certain times and placet, as
for example a ball costume in a bag
gage car.
These Georgia Senators, wl
names I do not know, have proved
faithless to trust when they rejected
AV. M. Bray, for political reasons
alone, and their action ia as much to
bo condemned as if they had taken a
fee from some other party to displace
him, lo obtain the office for another
man.—Dr. Felton.
Dr. Felton was rejected by the peo
ple of his district for political reasons
alone, and it will be hard indeed if the
Senate of Georgia cannot exercise the
same prerogative when occasion re
quires. The Doctor is inconsistent in
that he will not allow the Senate to
exercise the same independence he has
always claimed for himself. If Mr.
Bray had been what the Doctor calls
a Bourbon, wonder if be would have
raised his voice? There is a vast
difference between tweedledum tnd
tweedledee, or in other words between
a Democrat and an Independent. The
Doctor feels this, no doubt.
The new postal notes for the trans
mission of small sums of money are
now being prepared by the HomerJLee
Bank Note Company, in New York.
They will be ready for delivery about
the 1st of September. The notes are
in shape nearly like bank notes. They
are printed in blank form, spaces be'
log left for the names of the Post Of
fices from which they are sent and
at which they are pud. On
the right hand side of each of the notes
are three columns of figures—one for
the dollars, containing the figures from
one to four, the second for the dimes
from one to nine and the third
for the cents from one to nine. The
postmaster who sells one of these
notes will punch the figures indi
eating the amount for which the
note will be received. For instance,
if a note for $3 52 is wanted the figure
3 in the dollars column, 5 in the
dimes colpmn and 2 in the cents col
umn will be puuched out. AH coun
terfeiting or “raising’’ is thus prevent
ed. The notes may be bought of any
value from one cent to 84.99. A
charge of three cents will be made in
addition to the face value of the note.
The great advantage possessed by the
postal nebs over money orders is that
the farmer is transferable, so that it
will not be necessary for those who
receive them to go after the money.
They may be used in payment of
goods or for other purposes, but must
be presented for payment within a
-few months or their collection will be
more difficult.
A dispatch dated Cleveland, Ohio,
July 17th, recites the following re
volting case: “For two weeks past
detectives from Wheeling, West Vir
ginia, bare been in this city hunting
for a runaway girl named Cora San
ford. Cora is the beautiful and ao-
complished daughter of John Senford,
a wealthy farmer living in the suburbs
of Wheeling. She recently graduated
from a seminary with bigb honors.
For several months past a young col
ored man named Frank Smith, thirty-
five year* of age, has been employed
at the Sanford homestead aa coach
man. He is homely, illiterate and re
volting in appearance, but ia a very
glib talker. It appears that Miss
Cora fell in love with this specimen
of humanity and met him clandes
tinely at various times. Her parents
were in total ignorance of hes actions.
The conple were in the habit of taking
long drives together after nightfall.
A few days ago Miss Core turned up
missing, and it also transpired that the
colored coachman was missing. The
case was given to the police by the
agonized parents, and detectives sent
in search of the runaway pur. Trices
of them have been lonnd in this city,
but as yet they have not been found.
Cora left a note to her parents in
which she stated that she had left
home nsver to return.”
The Dalloa Argus man gels mad
alt over, and calls the Georgia Senate
dirty names. “Our immediate re
presentative’’ only escaped by reason
of his geographical position, and
donbtlesa feels relieved that he is not
indnded in the following sweeping
condemnntisn: “The rejection of Capt
Brar as solicitor of the Atlanta city
court by the Senate, because he had
signed the call for Stephens to run as
an independent candidate for govern
or, was the stupid blander of n parti
san set of stnpid asses, and we trust
that our language will not ipiply to
our immediate represen bc.-'-e. It

A BILL
To be entitled an Act lo apportion
and. divide the State of Georgia
into ten Congressional Districts, in
conformity to the Aet of Congress,
approved on the 25th day of Feb
ruary, 1882.
Section L Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of this State That
from and after the passage of this Act,
in conformity with the above recited
Act of Congress, there shall be in this
State ten Congiessional Districts, to
be known as toe First. Second, Third
Fourth, Fifth. Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth and Tenth Congressional Dis
tricts, and to be constituted as follows,
until changed by act of the General
Assembly, viz:
The first congressional district shall
be composed of the following counties:
Appling; Bryan, Bullock, Camden,
Chariton, Chatham, Clinch, Echols,
Effingham, Emanuel, Glynn, Liberty,
McIntosh, Pierce, Screven, Tatnall,
Ware and Wayco.
The second congressional district
shall be composed of the following
counties: Baker, Berrien, Brooks,
Calhoun, Clay, Colquitlt, Decatur,
Dougherty, Early, Lowndes, Miller,
Mitchell, Randolph, Terrell, Thomas
and Worth.
The third congressional district shall
be composed ot toe following counties:
Coffee, Dodge, Dooly, Houston, Irvrin,
Laurens, Lee,. Macon, Montgomery,
Pulaski, Quitman, Schley, Stewart,
Sumter, Telfair, Webster and Wilcox.
The fourth congressional district
shall be composed of the following
counties: Carroll, Chattahoochee,
Coweta, Harris, Heard, Marion, Meri
wether, Muscogee, Talbot, Taylor and
Troop.
The fifth congressional district shall
be composed of the following conn
ties: Fulton, DeKaib, Campbell, Clay
ton, Douglas, Fayette, Henry, Newton.
Rockdale, Spalding and Walton.
The sixth congressional district shall
be composed of the folio wing coun
ties; Baldwin, Bibb, Butts, Crawford,
Jasper, Jones, Monroe, Pike, Twiggs,
Upson and Wilkinson.
Tbe seventh congressional district
■hall be composed of tbe following
counties: Bartow, Chattooga, Cobh;
Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Haralson, Mur
ray, Paulding, Polk, Walker and Whit
field.
The eighth congressional district
shall be composed of the following
counties: Clark, Franklin, Elbert,
Greene, Hancock, Hart, Madison, Mor
gan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Putnam and
Wilkes.
The ninth congressionaidistrict shall
be composed of the following counties:
Banks, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin,
Forsyth, Gilmer, Gwinnett, Hall, Ha
bersham, ^Jackaon, Lumpkin, Milton,
Rabun, Pickens, Towns, Union and
White.
The tenth congressional district shall
be composed of the following conn-
ties: Burke, Columbia, Glassock, Jef
ferson, Johnson, Lincoln, McDnffiie,
Richmond, Taliaferro, Warren and
Washington.
2 And be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, that ell laws and
parts of laws in conflict with this act
be and the same are hereby repealed,
It will be seen from this bill that
the Second District remains just as it
is, except that Quitman county is
taken from us and given to the Third.
There is a minority repot t, signed by
seven or eight of the committee, which
proposes to leave the Second District
unchanged. Most of the members
from the Second District arc com
mitted to the majority report, and
will support it. I am glad to be able
to say that the committee and a ma
jority of the General Assembly are
disposed to deal partially with the
Second District in recognition of tbe
fact that we hare a large colored popu
lation. The indications are that the
majority report wii' be adopted; but
it ia more than propable that the bill
will be taken up by sections or dis
tricts on its passage, and many slight
changes will doubtless be made. The
members from the Second will not
enter into the fight, however, so long
as no other changes than the one al
ready referred to are proposed.
After the State is redistrictod some
thing like a definite idea can be had
aa to the length of the present session.
If this question is disposed of next
week a resolution looking to adjourn
ment may then be looked for. The
general impression now is that we will
bo here untill the first of September,
but after the bill redislricting tbe
State has been passed, I think an ef
fort will be made to stop the introduc
tion of new matter, witli toe view of
finishing up the business of the ses.
sion as early as possible. M.
