the iiorsK.
The special order was taken up which was
a bill by Mr. Cook, of Troup, to prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors in localities where
there are inadequate |s>lice regulations.
Tlie sulistitute proposed by the committee
was rejected, and then the original bill was

Chinch, the hill was laid on the table.

tion that it do pass.
On the passage of the bill the yetis were 109
and the nays lit. ,
Mr. McBride, of Haralson???A hill to repeal
an act to obstruct tlie free passage of fish so
far us relates to tlie county of Haralson.
Passed.
The bill to altolish state depositories was
taken upon a second reading with an adverse
rc|??.rt from the finance committee.
Mr. Middlehrook asked the house to disagree
to the rejsirt and let the bill go to a third
reading.
Mr. Miller, of Houston, opposed the bill
and favored the adoption of the adverse re-
lKirt. He argued that the present law offered
oettor protection to the state???s deposit than
the old law. He argued that any change in
the in#Would he unwise.
Mr. DuBignon said that tlie only question*
now is whether or not the adverse report shall
lie agreed to. If the rejairt is agreed to the
hill is lost. If the nqiort is disagreed to tlie
hill passes to a third rending and can then
Ik- amended. He hoped tlie bill would be
passed to a third reading.
Mr. Milner, of Bartow, said the bill to es
tablish state depositories bad been passed for
the convenience of tlie people. The law is
also the safest and bent for the people, and we
hud better let it alone.
Mr. Middlehrook spoke in favor of tlie bill.
The present law has cost the state a great deal
of money and is liable to cost more. We have
lind a warning about it, and we ought to take
heed.
Mr. Winslow, of Houston, occupied the
chair for a while.
_ Mr. Reese, of Wilkes, said that the discus
sion had demonstrated that the state's money
was not safe under the old law or
under the present lew and all that tite
friends of the ilending hill asked was that
the bill sltould lie passed to a third reading
where it van be amended.
*Tr. Garrard said the advocates of this bill
had failed to give any good reason for its
passage. The senate lias refused to pass a bill
exactly like this, and there is no use of the
house wasting time on such a measure here
at the end of the session.
Mr. Garrard stressed the point that the
treasury is no place to keep the money of the
state and said that if you were to put $100,000
in loose silver in that treasury vault it would
roll out when you opened the door.
Mr. Harrow, of Clarke???Are you not then in
favor of building a new cnpitol in which we
can have a vault that will hold safely the
people???s money? [Laughter followed this, as
it is well know???ll that Mr. Garrard is decidedly
opposed to a new capitol just now.]
Mr. Garrard???The capitol question is not
l>cing considered now and as 1 know the gen
tleman agrees with me on this bill, I don???t
want to say anything that will weaken
los seal in that direction. [Laughter.]
The present law affords good and ample Jpro-
tection for the money of the state. The aggre
gate property now bound to the state by these
tlcjw sitories???is over $20,000,009. Some time in
the history of Georgia we might have a dis
honest treasurer and then this law would come
in to. protect tlie state.
Mr. DuBignon again appealed to the house
to disagree to the report of the committee
against the bill and allow it to pass to a third
reading.
On the adoption of the report of the commit
tee the yeas and nays were ordered, and were

Mr. Mays, of Richmond, from the commit
tee to consider tlie treaty of Beaufort relative
of tlie boundary line of Georgia and South
Carolina and tlie keeping open of the waters
or the Savannah river reported that tlie mem
bers signing this rejairt lmd carefully consid-
teed the legislation for this subject. - The acts
authorizing tlie construction and enlargement
of tlie Augusta canal give full authori
ty for tlie construction of the dam
which is now across the Savannah river.
There are openings in the dam to give free
passage to fish, as the legislature and treaty
require, but the water flows so fast that it is
impossible for fish to ascend the waters of the
river. The committee recommend that the
city of Augusta be given sufficient time to
construct fish ways, and if they be found in
sufficient, then tiie dant shall be so changed
that one-fourth of the river shall be kept open.
This report was signed by Sena
tors Mosely and Maddox. Tlie report
was* also signed by Mr. Mays, of Richmond,

its present shape and that he did not deem it
necessary tor order a change in tlie present
shape of the daiu.

ments were taken up and senate amendments

Last Saturday morning a Tribune and Sun re
porter happened to be standing in the Bank of
Madison, in this city, when Mr. Felix I). 1 .ester
came into the bank with a very large bundle of
greenbacks to make a deposit. Inquiry developed
the fact that Mr. Lester had drawn one-lialf the cap
ital prize in the August drawing in tlie Louisiana
State Lottery, amounting to 915,000. Mr. Lester has
for some time been working in the Mobile and Ohio
railroad shops iu this city as a day laborer. He re
marked one day shortly before the drawing that lie
was poor and could not make much at his work,
and he believed he would buy a lottery ticket. He
gave one dollar to Mr. Eugene Brooks, of this city,
to purchase him a ticket iu the August drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery, and went back to his
work, whence lie was summoned to receive the
news of his good fortune. He at once forwarded
the ticket to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, received
the money promptly by express, and on Saturday
morning last deposited oiic-lntlf in the First National
Rank, and the other half in the Bunk of Madison, of
this city. He gave Mr. Brooks 8100 of the money.
Mr. Lester lives on a farm near the city, and is about
23 years of age. He takes his good fortune very
quietly.???Jackson,JTenn., Tribune and Sun, August

There is a very general and earnest preference in
this section for Speaker Bacon ils the next governor.
He would carry northeast Georgia by a large major
ity. Our people are plain and practical in their
ideas. They believe in putting any kind of busi
ness in the hands of those whose capacity and ex
perience qualify them to attend to it properly. Mr.
Bacon???s capacity, both in public affairs and liis own
private business, has been demonstrated, while his
long experience in the legislature lias made him
perfectly familiar with the state???s business from top
to bottom. If elected governor, he would know at
the start as much as it would take a man not expe
rienced in the state???s business six months to learn.
He has been in the legislature constantly since 1870,
if we remember correctly, where he has been re-
peatedly put forward by his associates as leader and
chief executive officer of the house, a high and re
sponsible position, u???hich lie has filled with signal
ability, honesty and impartiality. By steady work
in the state???s service, he has fully earned the right
to promotion. For these reasons the practical men
of northeast Georgiu pnqiose to make Mr. Bacon
governor, and we believe the thoughtful and prac
tical men in other iwrtions of the state will view
the question in the same way.

Fortune???s Favor* to an Irish Lad.
Tlie wheel of fortune turned most favorably
for a poor Irish lad, James O???Gonuan, who
came to Philadelphia two years ago in search
of a fortune. He had seen the advertisement
of the Louisiana State Lottery in tlie news
papers, and the thought occurred to him that
lie had better give it a trial. Accordingly, on*
tlie 5tli of July he sent $1 to M. A. Dauphin,
No. 212 Broadway, New York city, for tlie
drawing of the 12th instant. In a few days
lie received tlie ticket Nil 23,547. He received
a telegram at No. 36 N. Delaware avenue,
where lie is a barkeeper, that the ticket had
drawn $5,000, and, as lie held half of it, that
lie was entitled to $2,500. Sueli a pile of
money was indeed a fortune to him. He ol>-
tained it this week.???Philadelphia Sunday

A MlnUtcrlul Statement-
Rev. C. A. Harvey, D. D., is the popular financial
secretary of Howard University, and is specially fit
ted to judge of merrit and demerit. In a recent
letter from Washington to a friend he said: ???I
have for two vents past been acquainted with the
remedy known ns Warner???s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and with its remarkable curative efficiency in
obstinate and so-called ineurahle cases of Bright's
disease in this citv. In some of these cases which
seemed to be in the last stages and which has been
given npbv practitioners of both schools, the speedy
cure wrought by this remedy seemed but little' less
than miraculous. 1 am convinced that for Bright???s
disease in all its stages, including the first symptoms
which seems so slight but are so dangerous, no rem
edy heretofore discovered can be held for one mo- !
ment in comparison with this.

St. Petersburg, Septembers.???The Journal dc St.
Petersburg says the meeting of the emjierars was not
unforeseen. It is merely a natural consequence of
the sentiments of the two sovereigns having become
close in consequence of the events of 13th of March
last. The proposed interview is a proof of the ami
cable relations of the two countries and ought to be
It guarantee of the pacific development and security
of the nations. The interview will only last a few
hours.
London, Septembers.???There was a large atten
dance of the American delegates at tlie opening ser
vices of the Wesleyan Ecumenical council to-day.
The congregation included many ladies. Bishop
Simpson took his text from John vi: 63. The sermon
was in support of the doctrine of divine creation of
the heavens and the earth, which, the preacher
argued, could not be disproved by any so called
teaching of science.
The success of Methodism, he said, could only he
accounted ior by the fact that it has the divine
spirit of life. The successive assemblages of great
Protestant bodies during late years foreshadowed
that there would at no distant day bean Ecumenical
conference of Evangelical Christians of every de
nomination.
As soon as passible after the president's address
gnd other opeuiug formalities, the council will pass
a vote of sympathy, encouragement mid condolence
with Mrs Garfield.
The lord mayor of London received the delegates
at the Mansion house, this evening.
Bishop McTyeire, responding to tlie address of
welcome, said that American mid English Method
ism must be greatly strengthened by this gathering.
Dr. Douglas, who also responded to the address,
said that the United Methodists of Canada thor
oughly concurred in the doctrines of Wesley.
The lord mayor, in addressing the delegates in the
evening, said that he trusted the proceedings would
be a blessing to every member of the Christian
body. He was especially glad that the American
delegates were present. Various delegates then
s]M>ke, and the proceedings were closed at a late
hour.
Dantzic, September 10.???Emperor William has
arrived and was enthusiastically received. The
Emperor William, of Germany, the crown prince
Frederick William mid the grand duke of Mecklen
burg, wearing the Russian uniform, left here at
main to-day for Neufahrwassen to meet the emperor
of Russia. Bismarck, who had an hour???s audience
with the Emperor William during the morning, fol
lowed immediately. The route to the railway sta
tion was lined l>y students and members of the im-
l>erial guard, who cheered enthusiastically.
Tlie emperors will dine together on hoard the
Hohenzollern, the Russian ship, which came in
sight at 11:30 a.m. It was saiil that the presence of
Bismarck and the Russian Foreign Minister Giers at
the meeting of tlie emperors can but confirm tlie fa
vorable impressiou caused by the proposed meeting,
as it is considered a guarantee that every few hours
which those tivo statesmen pass together will he
spent iii the Interest of peace and contribute to the
consolidation of the political situaiion.
The Emperor William, Crown Prince Frederick
William and Bismarck reached Neufahrwassen at 1
o???clock this afternoon, and were much cheered.
The Emuerior William proceeded on board the impe
rial yacht, Hohenzollern, which steamed out of har
bor ami was met by the Russian yacht with the

and was cordially welcomed. The czar???s yacht was
accompanied by two small men-of-wnr. At half
past:! o'clock the emiierors drove into llantzie
amid the pealing of bells, salutes of urtillery and
great cheers.
The meeting of the emperers was most affection
ate. They appeared to be deeply moved, and kissed
each other several times. The greeting between the
ezar and crown prince was very warm. The ezar
conversed with Bismarck some time. Tlie royal
party then lunched. The movements of the empe
rors throughout the day were enveloped in uncer
tainty. The arrangements were altered several
times.
Atlanta Takes the Cake,

The growth of Atlanta Is more rapid now than at
any time since the close of the war. During tlie
jaist fire months over six hundred houses have been
erected in that city, and it is expected tlie number
erected during 1881 will reach fifteen hundred,
which will involve tlie investment of at least 8L-
500,000 iu the buildings alone. It is doubtful whether
any city in the country of equal population can
make such an exhibit of growth.

Good Advice From u Leading Medical ProfeeMr,
The learned doctor says: ???Koep some kind of a
tonic medicine always iu the house, and if any one
feels unwell, make free use of it. But first be sure
that it is both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations: their use will
lead to intemperance; neither be partial to any
remedy that produces a severe cathartic effect, for
prostration of the nervous system und digestive or
gans is sure to follow. The mildest and best medi
cine ever Invented for strengthening every part of
the body and restoring impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and one which
is having an unparalleled and rapidly increasing
sale in the Eastern States, is Brown's iron Bitters.
Any druggist will procure it for you if you request
him to do so. especially when lie finds you cannot
be persuaded to take some substitute. It does not
contain alcohol, and is the only preparation of Iron
that cures headache and does not blacken the teeth.
It is a sure reviver, a true strengthener, and the
very best medicine ever invented for i>ermnneutly
strengthening the pulmonary, urinary and digestive
organs preventing consumption, kidney diseases
and chronic dyspepsia, often curing these diseases
when all other remedies have failed: for it is truly
nature's best assistant."???Gazette. scpl4 d&wlw

WILD WORK;
The Story of the Red River Tragedy.
By MARY E. BRYAN,
AUTHOR OF ???MANCH.???
???The reign of the carpet-bagger"???a troublous,
transition period???was rich in dramatic features.
Abnormal conditions of government and society
brought out unwonted lights and shades of charac
ter nnd gave rise to extraordinary incidents. Par
ticularly was this true of the States west of the
Mississippi, where comparative freedom from social
restraints fostered individuality and independence
of character???too often to a lawless extent There
the Kuklux proper, with its mask and mummery,
was little known. The protest against the ???carpet
bag dynasty??? was there most boldly uttered. If at
times it found expression in the violence of a mob,
at other times it wrought through mauoeuverx that .
showed a genius for state-craft, and, in one instance
at least, the results it brought about partook of the
character of a revolution.
The author of ???Wild Work??? has sought to repro
duce a few scenes of that time and region with an
eye solely to their dramatic aspect, not distorted by
sectional prejudice und not disturbed by political
side-lights.
