CONYERS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1892.
IN TH5 HALLS OF CONGRESS
The Second Session of the Fifty-second
Congress Convenes.
Daily Routine of Business Transacted
in tho Interest of the People.
The solemn and quiet appearauce
which the nnti. mil capitol has worn for
the last few month- was all gone Monday.
Everything was instict with life and
lively congratulations. A beautiful, crisp
winter day u hered in the second session
of the fifty second congress, and long be¬
fore the hour of noon, spectators began
to arrive at the house wing of the capitol
iu order to secure advantageous seats in
the galleries. The members also began
to arrive early and the scene presented
on the floor was a livelv and bustling
one. Condolences as well as congratula¬
tions wi re the order of the dav, aud po¬
litical fiiead and foe greeted one another
with every manifestation of personal good
feeling, the Ex-Speaker Reed hall was among after
first to appear iu the aud
he took liis seat he was greeted by meuof
all political opinions and by ubiquitous
newspaper men, all of whom he received
with a twinkling eye, pleasant smile and
hearty handshake. The democrats, as a
rule, congregate in the space in the rear
of the democratic side of the hall and in¬
dulge in a conversational love feast.
Handsome floral tributes decked many
of the desks. As the hands of the clock
pointed to the hour of twelve Speaker
Crisp ascended to the Speaker’s chair,
and i s bis gravel dropped, a solemn limb
iollowed the noise and confusion. The
blind chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Milburn,
delivered a brief and impressive prayer,
in which he relumed thanks to Almighty
God that so many of the members had
been permitted to resume their duties
in safety and in health. The first legis¬
lation of the session was a petition pre¬
sented to the house from John D ivenport,
chief supervisor of elections for the
southern district of New York, for a
hearing before the bar of the house of
representatives. It was referred to a
select committee to investigate the ad¬
ministration of the United Slates elec¬
tion laws in the city of New York.
The attendance of members of the
house Tuesday was about the same as on
Monday. Several abseutecs arrived,
among them Bouvke Cockran,Tammany’s
leader and orator. The session was de¬
voted to hearing the message. When the
rending concluded, Mr. Outhwaite, of
Ohio, announced the death of his late
colleague, Mr. Warwick, and the house
adjourned.
The house had a brief ression of hut
little general interest Wednesday. It
adjourned early out of the respect for the
late Mr. McDonald, of New Jersey.
Isaac M. Wise, a Jewish rabbi from Cin¬
cinnati, who is a delegate to the Hebrew
congress at Washington, made the open¬
ing prayer.
THE SENATE.
Eighteen senators were absent from
their places at the opening session, in¬
cluding Gibson, of Louisiana, and Kennn,
of West Virginia, both seriously ill. Hill
and Iliscock, of New York, Allison, of
Iowa, and Jones, of Nevada, who is in
Brussels atiending the monetary confer¬
ence. Senator Proctor, successor of Ed¬
munds, was sworn in. The senate ad¬
journed at 1.30 o’clock after a committee
reported that the president would send
his message Tuesday. The chaplain, in
the opening prayer, feelingly alluded to
the recent affliction of the president.
The reading of the message, presenta¬ bills
tion of petitions and introduction of
and joint resolutions occupied the whole
session of the senate Tuesday. The vice
president established what was thought
a new departure by laying before the
senate certificates, as far as received, from
several states as to the choice of presi¬
dential electors by those states. It is
anticipated that the fight on the anti¬
option bill will be early developed in the
shape of petitions for and against the
measure, but before the bill could be
called up, as unfinished business of the
last session, Mr. Sherman secured an ex¬
ecutive session at which the president’s
recess nominations were referred to the
appropriate committees, Immediately
thereafter the senate adjourned.
In the senate, Wednesday, Mr. Vest
precipitated Indian debate by calling up
his joint resolution for the appointment
of a commission to negotiate civilized with the for
68,000 Indians of the tribes
the surrender to the states of 45,000,000
acres of land occupied by them, after re
taining enough for homes in severalty
for themselves and their belongings. Mr.
Vest drew an animated picture of law¬
lessness prevailing in the Indian Terri¬
tory and of the feeling prevailing in
Missouri, Texas, Arkansas and Kansas in
favor of rite absorption of the territory
by the states. Mr. Platt, of Connecti¬
cut, who has been looking into this
question during the summer, as
one the sub-committee, announc
ed that he would continue the debate at
an early day. An unusual incident in
the proceedings of the senate was the
offering of the opening prayer by Rabbi
Joseph Silverman, of Temple Emanuel.
New York, who is attending the rabbi
convention. Dr. Silverman did not fol¬
low the custom of orthodox Jews by cov¬
ering his head, but stood
during the proceedings. Mr. Miller,
Wisconsin, offered a joint resolution
recting the president of the senate
speaker of the house to appoint five a com¬
mittee of three senators and repre¬
sentatives to investigate as to the pro¬
priety ol changing the revenue laws
report to the next congress.
_>\ykjs»c.
petition of Chief Supervisor the de¬
asking a bearing by congress in
fense of the election law.
Chairman Blanchard, of the river and
harbor committee says there will be no

The repubiican senatois in caucm caucus
Mondav and afternoon, New Mexico decided ^ “ A "
zona the union by the democrats
admitted into
next congress, it would be advisable for
them to admit these territories aud re¬
ceive at least a part of the credit. Both
bills having passed the house, it is prob¬ the
able they will pass the senate before
Christmas holidays.
Congress at this session will probably in the
take some action to prevent cholera
United States next year. Senator
Chandler, chairman of the committee of
immigration, lias prepared a bill for
prohibiting immigration into the United
States during the year 1893. The idea
seems to he a popular one and it is prob¬
able that a bill of this character will be
adopted.
The president’s message sent approval to cong¬
ress Tuesday met with hearty
from the republicans of both houses.
Many of them have been ofmid that be
would not be sufficiently vigorous find
to them the message was a pleasant sur¬
prise. The democrats the look chaineter upon it ns
an utterance of same as
Need’s closing address to the house of
representatives two years ago.
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, chairman
of the special committee investigating
Tom Watson’s charge of drunkeness in
the house, says he will call the special
committee together within a lew days
and see wbat its members desire to do in
regard to the report submitted to the
bouse the last day of the last session.
The report states that Mr. Watson’s
charges were false and it leaves the mat¬
ter to the house to decide what shall be
done to Mr. Watson for making such
false charges. Of course, some action
must be taken.
The present reports from Montana,
Kansas, Wyoming and Nebraska look
like the democrats might not control the
senate. That is, that they might net of
have an actual majority. Yet the gain
a senator each from New York, Wisconsin
and California, with Mr. Kyle, of South
Dakota, who calls himself an “indocrat,”
would give the democrats forty-three.
The control of the senate would then
turn on the votes of Peffer and Stewart,
both of whom are third party men. The
democrats are a little nervous over the
situation, though they believe they will
be able to organize the senate.
The vice president laid before the sen¬
ate, Tuesday, the report of the Nicara¬
gua Canal company. Of the subscribed capital
stock 10,145 shares have been
for and $10,014.50 paid thereon; receipts
from other sources amount to $39,299.90;
expenditures have been $815,049 cash
and 31,990 shares of capital stock of the
par value of $3,199,000. Work on the
canal began June 3, 1889. Nineteen
miles of the loute have been cleared;
sixty miles of telegraph line has been
erected; a telephone system established;
six miles of railroad constructed through
swamps to enable the contractors to be¬
gin work on the big cut at the eastern
divide. i

THE CANAL CONVENTION.
Memorial to Congress Adopted at the
Meeting in New Orleans.
In point of attendance and enthusiasm
the great Nicaraguan convention at New
Orleans was representatives a grand success, and wealthy more
than 600
men from nearly every stnto in the un¬
ion being present. It business success,
commercial advancement, if new and bet¬
ter markets for American products is worth are
worth securing, it the far west
defending in war and the commerce of
the Pacific ocean is worth haring in
peace, then this crowning glory of the
19th century, the Nicaragua canal,
should be completed. The convention,
at its conclusion, memorialized congress
as follows:
territory of the United States teaches
across and fronts on both sides of the
northern half of the American continent;
that the distance by water from the At¬
lantic to the Pacific side of our country
is more than 15,000 miles; that to make
this voyage we must pass over tempestu
oils tens and through every known va¬
riety of climate; that a mere thread of
land separates the two oceans; that the
severing of this thread a> d opening the
a navigable water channel ucross
Isthmus of Nicaragua will unite the
Atlantic and Pacific and shorten
the water route from one side of
tho continent to the other 10,000
miles; that the Pacific states, and
territories are more remote from the At¬
tic seaboard and Iho older and more
populous parts of our country th an is
Europe; that the construction of the
Nicaraugua canal will encourage closer re¬
lations with our sister republics of Bouth
and Central America, the cost of trans¬
portation ol freight east and west from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean will
be cheapened more than one half; that
as a measure of national defense the
making of this canal will be of
infinitely greater value to the American
republic than the building of forts or the
maintaining of armies; that by its con¬
struction, our navy can be concentrated
at any American port in one third of the
time and with one-third of the expense
that is now required; that large and nu¬
merous coaling stations will thus be dis¬
pensed with; that the Pacific ocean, with
its vast and increasing commerce, its
island and Asiatic trade, will thus con¬
tribute to our wealth and enlarge commercial our
markets; that in this age of
activity, when tho most enlightened
nations of the world are seeking and cre¬
ating new markets for their distunce products and the
great aim is to shorten the
cheapen the price of transportation from
the producer and consumer; that to suc¬
cessfully accomplish this and mainhtin
large and varied industries all over our
country, and to give broader markets to
our agricultural and manufacturing pro¬
ducts, the shortest route by land and sea
must bo created; that water trans¬
portation is the America cheapest is trans¬
portation ; that as a groat
producing country, it compete* with
all other countries iu the world’s markets,
and thus inspires their rivalry; that this
is tho great, republic of Iho world; that
the monarchies of the eastern continent
are jealous of its wonderful growth and
splendid industrial achievements; that
the time has come when America should
prepare for and guard against the neces¬
sities and dangers of the future; that it
would be both uuwiseand unpatriotic for
thia great republic to peacefully and quiet¬
ly permit any foreign power to either open
tnemselves the gates of American com¬
merce or close those gates upon us, and
hence tho American people should build
this canal, and control it when built,
and,
Whereas, both of tho great political
tional parties conventions, of this country, expressly iu their indorsed last na¬
the building of this canal, and both can¬
didates for president heartily approved
■aid declarations, and received more than
nine-tenths of the votes of the American
freemen; therefore be it
Retolvod, 1, That ft is the paramount
duty of this goverdment to aid in the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal.
2, That this convention respectfully
urge the congress of the United States
to take such steps and give such finan¬
cial aid as will insure the speedy com¬
pletion of said canal at the minimum cost
thereof, pledged taking proper security for any
credit or money advanced for
this purpose, and retaining sue’, control insure
and supervision ef the same as will
the peaceful jise of this great enterprise
to the commerce of the world and at the
lowest possible rates.
A committee of five will present the
above memorial to congress.
THE IAMS CASE ENDED.
The Defendants Won, But must Pay
Costs.
A Pittsburg, Pa., special of Sunday
says: Final disposition of the celebrat¬
ed lams case has been made. The court
-decided that the defendant should not
pay the costs, thereby setting aside that
part of the verdict d,reeling that the
coat* of the aggravated assault
and battery case should he e qual

Streator and Colonel Hawkins. Imme¬
diately after the verdict was rendered,
Attorney Braddock moved thit that part
of it referrim to costs should he set aside.
The court granted and a rule on the why prosecu¬ this
tors to appear show can<e
shou’d not bo grunted. The case was
argued several days a,-o.

CAPTURED THE CAPITOL.
A Lively War Being Waged Over the
Wyoming Governorship.
A special from OUeyeniic, Wvo,, says:
Friday afternoon, accompanied by several
men, Governor elect Osborne went to the
capitol aud asked the janitor to show him
into the execu ive rooms, urging as his
plea that be wanted 10 see the condition
of the furniture. The j .altar refused to
admit him without the , utbority of tho
acting governor. Governor Osborno
sent for a carpenter and ordered him to
open a window leading to tho executive,
chamber. By the use of a chisel tho
window casing was removed, the sash
thrown up and the party took posses¬
sion.
Osborne then announced himself gov¬
ernor, saying that lie Imd t ken oath of
office before a notary public. Tho re¬
turns from the various counties have not
all been received, consequently the stato
board of canvassers have not yet made a
complete canvass of the retut in. in
Governor-elect. Ozhorne’s action try¬
ing to official take possession of the offico before
the re tires ar- in has created in¬
tense excitement. He remained in the
office all day.
didate Osborne who is is t.hedemi eratie-populist be elected can¬
supposed to official by
seventy majority, but tho figure*
are not in and Governor Barber, w ho op¬
posed Osborne effice in the race, refused official to
give up the pending the
count.
STILT, HOLDING THU FORT.
Saturday's dispatches state that night Gov¬
ernor-elect Osborne spent Friday
in the executive chamber. At a late hour
a bed was sent in by friends. The place
was guarded on the outside by the sheriff
of the e/ulily, who had been called to
servioe by the capitol commissioners on
a report that the republicans would raid
the building during the night to get pos¬
