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 taken up. On motion of Mr. .Sweat, of Chinch, the hill was laid on the table. The next special order was a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within three miles of any church or school house outside of incorporated towns. The bill was lost by yeas 38 to 70 nays.

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.

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, with certain exceptions.

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 19. septC???d&wlt It is said that tlie lamented Spotted Tail was mixed up iu 150 love affairs with other In dians??? wives. Hr. Huron's Fitness. Jefferson (Jackson Co.) llcmld. 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. ???Exhausted and enfeebled constitutions suffering from dyspepsia, nervousness and gen eral weakness cured by Brown???s Iron Bitters. sepl4 d&wlw Db.

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 Mercury, July 24. Colonel Cole???s family has been spending the summer at Lookout mountain.

Abnormal conditions of government and society brought out unwonted lights and shades of charac ter nnd gave rise to extraordinary incidents.

The protest against the ???carpet bag dynasty??? was there most boldly uttered.

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. 12 Mo., Cloth, Price $1.50.
