A NEW TURNON THE BROWN GIFT QUESTION. • Brostor Brown Brings the Bonds an£ Prsssnts Them to the tJalTsrsItr—Wbst tbs Board Dtd-Tbo Outlook For tto Bond-Tos Demand For tbo Money—Tno Law Bit Forth. It is freth in the memory of the people that Governor Brown gave <50,000 to the state universl* ty last July, with several conditions attached. Ono of these conditions was that the legislature would issue a 7 per cent}bond;of the stato to run fifty years and thus fund the donation. Tho legislature re' fused te pan the act authorising this lssuo, some members holding that it would be unconstitutional to do so. The legislature having failed to carry out thecradlitons of the gift, the proposition of Senator Brown waa rendered null, aud it was thought he would either glvo tho money elsewhere or withhold it altogether. IN THE MARKET AFTER BONDS. A short time ago, however, Senator Brown went Into the market, through hit broker*, to buy up <50,009 of the Nutting bonds that were to . fall due on April i. He had somo trouble in buying them but finally succeeded. He then announced his de termination to donate the bonds to the university. He was asked how thiswould change tho situation- I: "Very materially. In 1859 a law wai passed authorizing the state to receive from any one a gift ln money *to the university, and to isuie for this gift a 0 per cent bond. This law was operative for many years. 11 was held by some people, how ever, that the constitution of 1877 repealed it. *1 can demonstrate that It did uot; but iu July, 1880, tho board of trustees appointed a committee to go before the legislature and ask tho passage of an act enabling tho university to fund its money In 7 per cent state bonds. You see the university, was having funds for reinvestment every year. The state had just issued a 4 per cent bond, and It was feared that we would dually bo forced to put our funds In 4 percents. That would have been ruin to the university. We therefore asked for author ity to perpetuate our funds in 7 percents. This act waa passed and it now of forco. It says that whenever the university has "valid matured bonds" it can presont them to tho governor, who shall Issue tbo state's bond or obligation for a fifty year 7 per cent bond and take up the maturing bonds. This language Is plain and imperative, aud the governor has no alternative. Now I give the university <50,000 worth of bonds. These bonds mature tadny and are valid bonds. Tho rccretary presents theso bonds to the governor. The governor simply obeys the law, which says plainly that ho shall lssuo a bond or obligation for a 7 per cent 50 year bond. That ends the matter," "You see before I could not get the bonds to pro mt, and tbu legislature refused to issue new bonds, I now present valid maturing bonds, and the governor has no authority except to issue a new bond, or his obligation as the law requires." XEBTIXd or THE BOARD. At ten o'clock the board mot in the reading Voom of the Kimball bouse pursuant to a call. There were present: Mr. Grcshum, president; Bishop Beckwith, Goneral Toombe, Senators Brown and Colquitt, Mr. Humber, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Barrow, rental vquu, ... ... Grady tnd Dr. H. V, M. Miller. As soon as the meeting was called to order fienntor Brown presented the fol lowing communication: Atlanta, March 31st, 1883.—To the Trustees of the University of Georgia: Gentlemcn-On tho 15th * u ur last, 1 proposed ln a written communication frosted to you. to make a donation to tho un’- ■altvof fifty thousand dollars for *h* ■mihmwF. Uultms and ooodittous tloncd. Ono of tho requirements of tho proposition wss, that the legislature of Georgia, at iu uexties- sion, should provldo for receiving raid sum into the treasury of the state, and for the issuance of fifty thousand dollars of the bonds of the state to the university In place of raid amount, having fifty yean to run with seven per cent interest, payable semi annually. Tho legislature met at the usual time in November, and adjourned without having made provision for the receipt of the money, am* tho issue of said bonds to th„ university. The proposition was accepted by your honorable body, when mado bv me, t>utfis tho legislature aid not mako provision for Muing tho bonds, I suppose neither party Is now bound by the proposition or acceptance. It is still mydislre to appropriate that sum of money, for thu education of poor young men, In the University of Georgia, as specified in said proposi tion. And with a view of avoiding all mlsunder- standing on tho subject, and of placing this amount in the bands of the trustees of tho uulverslty, for the purposes above referred to, I have purchased fllty thousand dollars of the valid bonds of the state of Geoigla, which arc not now due. but will mature on the first day of April, 1883, and I propose bow to deliver said fifty thousand dollars ln the above bonds of the state of Georgia to the trustees of the when the body was asked to pass the act of 1881, Mr. Milter of Houston, thought that it might be constitutional for the house to say that the state should ishuo a new bond for whatever money tho university might have for invesuneut. But he said after consultation with tho finance committee that if we were willing for tke house to say simply that whenever the uulverslty presented a valid bond that bad matured, the state should issue a new 7 l>er cent bond to take its place, ho would recom mend it and the house would doubtless pass it. The board of trustees, or such of them as discussed the matter, agreed that this was all the university wanted, and tbe act was therefore passed, prescrib ing that whenever the university had bonds of the stato maturing, (hey should bo taken up on de mand of tho proper authorities and a 7 percent bond substituted." . THE PURCHASE OF THE BOND*. Governor Brown did not buy the bonds last July, becauso he thought tho legislature would order new bonds issued. It would have cost then a nico premium to have purchased <50,000 of bonds. Even now when the Nutting bonds that he botisht fall due to-day he had to pay a premium of tr con t on a great many of them. The tl rst of A, the day when alt tho taxeo are returned, fitate bonds are not taxable, consequently a man who had ten thousand dollars of Nutting bonds due on the lstof A prileould save tax on that amouu t by holding th cm uutil the secoud of April. In order to get tho amount necessary on yesterday Governor Brown had to pay two per cent premium to cover tho taxes tho holders would incur by giving their non taxable bonds for cash that is taxable. THE XEETIXU or TIIE COMMITTER. Thecommlttee to receive and count the bonds and present them to tho treasurer aud the gover nor fo, new bonds met immediately upon the ad Journmcnt of the board. They found the bundle that the senator had with perfect song frold pulled out of his coat tall pocket, and laid on the table in front of the president, contained <50,000 of bonds. They havo not decided when they will be presented to tho governor foractlon, but It will be within tbe sixty drey* prescribed In Governor Brown's letter. ] STABBED TO DEATH. A dyqoken row occurred late* Saturday evening between Abo Daniel and Young O'Neil, two negro men, which terminated in a fight, during which Daniel was fatally stabbed, and from the effect of which lie died at eleven o'clock that night. The cutting took place at the corner of Forsyth and Jamea streets about 7 o'clock, but was not witnessed by any otic. At the time mentioned yells of "mur der" ard "ho has cut me. etc.," were heard by citi zens lit ing near by. A few minutes after seven o’Nell met Bailiff H. H Landrum and gave himself un. suing that ho had cut Abe Daniel.

I went svtth blot and on reaching the corner, ho again began to abuso me and said I would hsvo to kill him or ho would whip me. Asl dldnot want to hsvo any fuss with him 1 walked up Forsyth to the corner ol James street and started fo crass over to Peachtree up by the spice mills, whou Abo again stopped me.
