THE HOUSE.
After the reading of the journal, Air. Du-
Pree, of Alacon moved to reconsider the vote
of yesterday on Air. Glover's bill for the bet
ter enforcement of the road laws of the state.
The motion prevailed.
Air. Alilner, of Bartow, offered a resolution
calling on the governor for the facts in his
posssession in regard to the death of John
Alathews, a late penitentiary convict.
Air. Hammond Objected. *as the matter was
before the courts, and legislative interference
might be improper.
Air. Milner said that the resolution was one
to elicit information merely, and did not pro
pose any action by the house. He thought it
of importance that the house should have the
informatiton so that it could act intelligently
on penitentiary reform.
Air. Hanuuondinsistcdthat this was ajqucs-
tion involving the character and liberty, per
haps the life, of a citizen of Georgia, aiid the
sentiment of the people ought not to be in
fluenced by any action of this house. It
ought to be left to the tribunals to which the
laws committed it.
Air. Alilner said that the object of his reso
lution was not to affect at all the case of the
lnan uccuscd of cruelty, but to give the house
information as to the treatment of convicts
and enable it to a<J more intelligently on the
still open question of penitentiary reform.
On the question of the passage of the rcso :
lution the yeas and nays were demanded.
The resolution was supported by Alessrs.
Garrard and Post, and opposed by Mr. Les
ter.
Air. Miller offered an amendment calling for
any other information in the possession of the
governor on the penitentiary question.
Air. Hammond said that the amendment
would not meet his objection to the resolu
tion. He again opposed it in an earnest and
eloquent speech as an interference with the
jurisdiction of another tribunal.
Air. Barrow supported the resolution in a
speech equally eloquent and forcible, insist
ing tluit the circumstances were such as justi
fied legislative inquiry', and that it was the
duty of thejfcneral assembly to see that every
legal right of the convicts, who were prisoners
of the state, should be maintained. If a mur
der had been done, he wanted to take precau
tions that no more murder should be done
when it was in the power of the legislature to
prevent it, ???Time??? was called on Air. Barrow,
and cut short his remarks.
Air. Jemison warmly supported the resolu
tion. He contended that the question of the
extension of convicts to the North Georgia
railroad company was before the legislature,
if not as a definite proposition, .at least as one'
???in the air, like malaria,??? which could not be
escaped, but had to be met, and that all infor
mation as to the treatment of the convicts by
that company ought to be before the legisla
ture.
Air. Estes also warmly supported the passage
of the resolution. ???
Air. Wheeler called for the previous question
and the house sustained the call.
Air. Aliller???s amendment was adopted, and
the resolution passed.
The house then took uj> the special
order of the morning, the bill to
amend the act to provide for the
regulation of railroad freight and passenger
tariffs in this state, etc. The substitute re
ported by the railroad committee was the bill
before the.house.
The yeas and nays were demanded on the
passage of the bill, and the vote stood yeas 90,
nays 52; so the bill was passed.
The bill ti enable the trustees of the uni
versity to inaugurate a system of,free tuition.
As the bill appropriates $2,000for the purpose,
the house considered it in committee of the
whole.
Air. Aliller moved that the committee report
the hill back with a recommendation that it
do pass. Agreed to.
The bill was then passed. Yeas 100, nays 31.
THE PRESIDENT.
The Gloomy New*.
Elberon, X J, September 17???8:30 am.???At the
morning examination and dressing of the president,
his temperature was 99.8, pulse 108, respiration 21.
The fluctuations of pulse during the night varied
from 11C to 130, his temperature during this time not
deviating much from normal. He slept quite well,
taking nourishment at proper intervals. His cough
was not troublesome, and expectoration was moder
ate. The discharge from the wound is more healthy
and the color of the granulation slightly improved

a startling' change.
1 p m.???The president had a rigor about 11 o???clock
this morning; it lasted about twenty minutes, dur
ing which time his pulse ran up to 137. After the
rigor passed off, the president vomited considera
bly. His pulse at this hour has decreased to 120,
temperature being 101, and respiration 24. His situ-
tion is decidedly critical, inasmuch as there is great
probability that more chills will occur. It is now
learned that there were indications of the rigor yes
terday. The president also suffered from over
eating last night, being troubled with pains in his
stomach.
Dr Boynton in answer to questions of the repre
sentative of the associated press, shortly aftenvnrd
the rigor became known, saidthat it is one of the
many unfavorable symptoms which must be look
ed for at this stage of the case; at the same time re
asserting his remarks made heretofore to the effect
that everything terrible follows the existence of
chronic pya-mia. Great apprehension prevails.
To the Farmer* of the Southern State*.
The cheapest, best and most economical in
use. reduced your expenses to less than one-
lialf and does its work better. Try them and
satisfy yourself. They give universal satis
faction. You who 'would economise and
make farming a success will do well to care
fully examine and test the plows, known as
Johnson???s Combination Cotton and Com Cul
tivator, before purchasing your plows for the
coming season. With this* combination and
the common scooter plow you can do any
kind of plowing that you can desire in culti
vating a crop; nothing to buy or keep up but
the common scooter. Works on any stock
that the scooter works on, and does its work
well. Now is the time to prepare for plowing
in your wheat and oats; buy this combina
tion plow and you have, when attached to
your scooter a subsoiler and turning plow,
which subsoils the clay and turns the top soil.
Besides this you have' fourteen various kinds
and sizes of plows that are used on the farm.
Call on your merchant and buy them at once
for vour wheat and oats and "have them in
readiness for other crops. Last season the de
mand could not lie supplied, and fanners
have used them without paying out one cent
for blacksmithing and jxiy'less than half in
purchasing plows. For particulars and circu

Captain W. AIcMickan, of the steamer
Bothnia, has traveled 936,000 miles on the Atlantic
and never lost a man. Such a record rarely falls to
the lot of a sailing-master, particularly if he is the
captain of an ocean steamer and has to deal with a
large number of passengers. With the recent arrival
of the Bothnia at New York, Captain McMickan
completed his three hundredth trip across the At
lantic. On these trips he has attended altogether to
the welfare of more than 60,000 passengers, of whom
18.000 were first-class. On this last trip the Bothnia
brought over 328 first-class passengers, the largest
number of its class on record.

Norristown Herald.
Astronomy Is a beautiful science. We are told that
if a railway was run from the earth to the nearest
fixed star, and the tare was one penny for every hun
dred miles, and if you were to take a mass of gold
to the ticket ottiee equal to the national debt???or
$3,SOU,000,000???it would not be sufficient to pav for a
ticket to the nearest fixed star uforesaid. If this lie
the case, it mutters very little to us whether such a
railway is ever constructed. It would be discour
aging to go to the ticket office with a mass of gold
equal to 83,800,000,000 and be informed that the fare
wus $5,678,032,000. If the ticket agent wouldn???t
trust until we got back, we???d be compelled to forego
the trip.

From General R N Hood, a coming railroad mar B
in East Tennessee, and who has just returned frorftP
Charlotte, N C, we are able to get a bit of interesting
railroad news.
In Charlotte, N C, 011 last Tuesday, an important
meeting of railroad magnates was held. The fol
lowing gentlemen were present: General T M Lo
gan, of New York: General Skipivith Wilmcr, of
iialtimorc; General Francis Smith, of New
York; Colonel T M It Talcott, gen
eral manager of the Richmond and Danville:,.
Colonel .V S Buford, president of Rand D: Colonel -
G J Foreacru, of It and li; Judge A S Haskell, of
Columbia, S C, president of the C Cand A road; and
General R N Hood, of Maryville, president of the
Augusta and Knoxville railroad, all stockholders
and directors in the Rabun Gap railway company.
Under this name this party of gentlemen decided to
unite tlie three respective sections, the Knox
ville and Atigusta railway company, the Rabun
Gap Short Line railway company and the Clayton
railroad company.
Elsewhere in our columns will be seen a card from
Secretary John H Glover, Jr, calling a convention of
all the stockholders of the Clay ton railroad compa
ny in Atlanta, Georgia, on the 28th of October to
consider this agreement of consolidation: and an
other card from Secretary Skipwitli Wilmer, calling
a meeting of all the stockholders of the Knoxville
and Augusta railroad on the 18th of tlie same
month, to be held in Knoxville at.the Atkin house,
for tlie purpose of considering the same matter.
The consolidation of these lines, which is
now inevitable, will give us the
long prayed for southeastern connection. There
can be no good reason to suppose that after this
action has been ratified by the stockholders that tlie
line will not be ready for contract. The terminus
of this line will eventually be at Toccoa City or at
Lula, the former 9 and the latter 18 miles from
Clayton. The contract is now out for the road
from Clayton to Lulu. Then there is 100 miles
between Maryville and Clayton which will be to
contract Upon this section a good deal of work
has already been done,
Than and Now.
Atlanta Letter to New York Sun.
Forty years ago there was a little village in north
west Georgia called Martliasville, with about 1,000
inhabitants. The settlers reached it generally in a
small cart drawn by a stunted, bony, bob-tailed ox,
and sometimes in wagons drawn by mules. Tlie
nearest railroad was a short line from Augusta to
Bclair, the first station on the Georgia railroad, dis
tance about seventy miles. Now we call that place
Atlanta, and in a few weeks *a world???s fair will,
gather here the moneyed lords of England anil the
north. The oxcart and wagon are replaced by trunk,
railroads and street cars. Such has been the thor
ough industrial and commercial revolution in that'
short time, despite the adverse influence of civil
war.
