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.

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.

Knoxville Chroncle. ^ 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.
