v HUFF'S HOT SHOT.
*A Strong Speech Against the
j Sale of the State Road.
■BROWN HANDLED WITH GLOVES OFF
There was another lively scene in the house,
yesterday.
' “Mr. Speaker, when the house adjourned
4>n Saturday I was reviewing the letter o£ Pres
ident Joseph E. Brown of July 8, addressed to
the governor of Georgia. In that letter, Mr.
Speaker, he says: ‘Having read your message
With care,’ and then goes on to enumerate the
improvements put on tlse road by the lessees,
and to state that ‘all these improvements cost
a large sum of money.’ He does not claim
ANYTHING FOR BETTERMENTS,
■frat the letter is an invitation for an adjust
ment of betterments.
; ‘ lie says that an arrangement could be made
with the lessees to ‘keep the railroad in its
,present splendid condition.’
“There is
NOTHING AMBIGUOUS ABOUT THAT.
“But if the state refuses to do anything,
President Brown says that there is no other
alternative but ‘to diminish the expenditure of
the road, to economize, and try to return it in
as nearly the same condition as it was received
an.’
“Bear it in mind, I beg von, that President
Brown understands the meaning of words, as
anyone who heard him before the governor's
high court, when he took the act of 1876 and
TORE IT INTO DOLL RAOS,
for although the act is attributed to Judge XV.
M. ltce.se, it was written by Joseph E. Brown,
and he knows what he meant!
“In his letter to Governor Gordon he says:
*Yon and other men of your age will remem
ber the wretched condition of the State road
when it was turned over to the lessees. The
Jpublic record in tiie office of the secretary of
(state accurately describes it.’
“Ami lie proposes that the state is to receive
St back in that shape!
"President Brown says that unless the state
agrees with the lessees they will commence
early to place it in that order so as to return it in
as good condition only as it was received. He
did say that lie would not lease it. He did not
Bay that he would not purchase it. This letter
was an attack to depreciate the value of the
yoad. To further strengthen his position he
goes on to enumerate the depreciation of tiie
road by competition. He had but one object
and that to put the property in such a condi
tion t hat
NO ONE WOULD LEASE IT.
“President, Brown proceeds to give' the
general assembly some advice by sug
gesting that the next lease act
be not so unwise as to contain restrictions pre
venting its lease by railroad or express compa
nies. as the state would have it in its power to
protect the lessees, despite the effort of com
peting lines to depreciate it. He closes by
Haying: Still it is not for mo to say who shall
be lessee. But he intimates that the lessees
have paid in as rent al §5,100,000.
“President Brown, alter waiting two months,
Comes in

amendment is in tiie shape of a letter address
ed to the world. There is no use for us to ad
vertise this property. President Brown has
saved us this expense. The publicat ion of his
lettemin The Constitution, with its wide
spread circulation, covering all the points
named in the majority report, give ample., no
tice. President Brown says that ho has been
fluiet since, his letter to Governor Gordon in
July, and has had nothing to say on better
ments.
( “He says that the press and the general as
sembly have had something to say about bet
terments. This house has been
VERY QUIET ON THE MATTER.
President Brown states that the idea advanced
that steel rails are a fixture and that the lessees
Cannot remove them is erroneous. The term
Mixtures,’ he says, does not apply.
’ “The road is to be retained in as good condi
tion merely as received in, with one hundred
and thirty-eight miles of iron rails, T pattern
reduced in weight. The state cannot require
steel rail. No particular rail is a fixture. Tiie
State is not entitled to more rollingstock than
turned over to the lessees. lam making no
Claim for betterments, while in equity, the
Jessees have a strong claim. If the state does
Mot agree, the lessees will not return the road
with betterments, but will return the road in
the wretched condition it was in when re
ceived.
“Is tiie question of betterments disposed
Os?
, “Heavy, heavy,
WHAT HANGS OVER YOU.
"Under these depreciatory letters no respect
able railroad syndicate will make a decent bid
for the property. Tiie first letter was an in
vitation to the state to make, bids. The state
made no bids the general assembly is
informed that the road will be put in a “wretch
ed condition” unless it docs something.
“My position on this question is
CLEAR, CLEAN-CUT AND DECIDED,
and that is to protect the road from being
Wrecked, and to declare that the state will not
pay for betterments.
“Shall we sit here quietly and let President
Brown
WRECK IT WORLD WITHOUT END
.while we do nothing ? Let us put a man there
to watch it night and day. The world is full
<p£ railroad men who could bo obtained. Let
as tell President Brow’n in unmistakable terms,
Slot one dollar for betterments.
“Governor Brown knows, as every lawyer
knows, that now is not the proper time to talk
about betterments. Let him work out his con
tract. At the expiration of the lease it may
lie considered—not now. The steel rails—put
down five years ago—at the end of the lease will
be worthless, and President Brown knows that
lie could not get one dollar for them,
IT IS TOO SIMPLE TO TALK ABOUT.
“The Athens Banner-Watchman says: ‘lt
is contrary to the simplest principle of business
to offer property for sale or lease over which
there is a contest or litigation.’
. “Suppose a man comes to negotiate for the
road with Governor Gordon. The next man
he sees about it will he President Brown. Presi
dent Brown will tell him that he means to
WRECK THE STATE ROAD,
for the ‘wretched condition’he refers to, means
that- -nothing more, nothing less.

may suffer this, because our records are behind

“The act of 1876 provided that the expenses
should never exceed $4,500 pcranuum, and yet
they have gone up to §9,000. XVo have got
clean away from the act of 1876. Tho ex
penses were to be for the penitentiary, and not
for camps.
“President Brown did not approve tho act
of 1881. That act provided that at the expira
tion of their terms of service, convicts should
be provided witli a suit of clothes and money
to pay transportation home. XVhen I asked
President Brown if there had ever been ad
verse legislation to the lessees, he replied, in
terms as
COLD AS AN ICICLE,
that there had. in tiie passage of the act of
1881. and to that extent had robbed him.
"Ves, these convicts that had worked for
Brown and Seaver at 3} cents per day, at that
' hell hole in Dade comity, were to be turned
out naked and friendless from the mines!
“W. B. Lowe, as wild, wickodjuul wayward
a man of tiie world as 1 am, who does not go
to tiie sanctuary with an it ito cravat on, pro
posed this humanitarian measure, which Pres
ident Brown says robbed him. The idea of
GEORGIA EVER ROBBING JOB BROWN
in any way or,under any circumstances, isnot
I to be entertained. Has lie not had Georgia’s
property in his hands, the State road ami her
convicts? It makes me think of sweat boxes
in Columbus, of shipping cotton from Wil
mington, and collards from Milledgeville!
“The act of 1881 is a Pandora’s.box. Grand
juries are authorized to monkey around
WITH CHEAP RELIGION
and appoint chaplains for these camps. These
migratory chaplains have cost §l,lOO, and yet
there are camps in which no sermons have
been preached for three months.
“The trouble in the act of 1881 is hi the ap
pointment of the whipping bosses. The lessees
appoint them in writing, fiibject to the written
proval of the governor. They are paid and
controlled by tiie lessees, but in order to re
lieve themselves of liability the lessees say:
‘How dare you forfeit my lease when the cou
j victs are whipped by your own. office?’
“The committee of which I was chairman
| had no money, and wo paid our own expenses.
I Tiie railroad passes were withdrawn, and wc
had difficulties to contend with. We had to
abandon the inspection of camps and convicts.
Wc placed our investigation on a higher plane
than the disclosures from convicts. Wo ob

“W. B. Lowe and J . E. Brown are my warm

swindle from Ato Z. There’s money in it;
if there was not, they would abandon it like
ticks from a dead cow. There’s millions in it,
and they are getting it.
“When John W. Nelms countermanded the
order of W. I). Grant, compelling his convicts
to make a march on Sunday, Grant, attacked
him about it, and Nelms was compelled to
leave his office. Grant lives in a palatial man
sion on Peachtree street. Let us'eonsider this
sweet lease contract. Governor Smith, in his
order, recites: ‘Whereas, in the opinion of the
governor, none of said bids should be accept
ed.’ Beinember, the bids were made three
years in advance of the. expiration of the
lease of 1874, and by tho lessess only, who
were the only ones knowing the value of con
vict labor,
“Mr. XV. B. Lowe thought that Governor
Brown and Colonel Tom Alexander would not
hang around unless there
WAS SUGAR IN THE GOURD,
and he camo in and raised the bids.
“Just here lam in receipt of intelligence'
that the state treasurer has paid a bill of §72
for the investigation of a convict camp by a
grand jury in Dade county. This is the way
your money troes. It is a damnable swindle,
conceived and perpetuated in fraud, and is
ROBBERY BY THE WHOLESALE.
“Governor Gordon could now lease out the
convicts for §64,000 instead of §‘.,’5,000. If tho
lessees have not violated the act, lot any mem
| her on this floor get up and assert it, anil I will
sit down. I pause for a reply. They worked
the convicts on the Sabbath day. it is true.
Governor McDaniel consented to this, but it
was nevertheless a violation of tho act. The
question is. how much violation do you insist
on before forfeiting the lease?

“Governor Smith said to B. G. Lockett that
the lease contract was a ‘damnable outrage on
the people of Georgia,’ ami to another lessee,
‘you know that tiie bid made is no bid for the
convicts. It is aswindle on tiie state.’
“You want the proof. I’ve got it. We ex
pend §9,600 to collect §I6,(XXL Suppose Joe
Brown was eliminated from the contract, could
another contract be made for Jy cents per day?

President Brown admits that tho

Should Georgia fail to act, she acts
<<IWAI<DLV AND INHUMANELY.

judicial circuits arc grinding out convicts, and
I the le-sees now have as many as'they can

Joo Brown, in his speech before the high court,
attempted to impose on the people of Georgia.
He said to forfeit tiie lease of companies 2 ami
3 would turn 1,200 convicts loose. My bill
docs not forfeit a single lease, and Joe Brown
and his cliaquers know it.
“There are those that assert that there is no
hotter managed camp than at Dade coal mines.
Yet the convicts died like hogs from scurvy.
Joe Brown said that the convicts before the, I
war cost §219 per capita per annum. He says !
convicts cost him sixty cents per day per
capita.
“In Connecticutt 2!K) convicts cost to feed,

“Joe Brown boasts of favorable reports by
legislative committees to Dado coal mines.
Tiie one last session had champagne in one
end, whisky in the other, and free cigars all
the way. Their hotel bills were paid nt Chat
tanooga. Will any one deny it? But that
committee could not bo bribed by champagne.
They reported tho bunks as filthy; tliat a
chaplain was paid §2 per Sunday to ride thir
teen miles and preach—“poor pay, poor preach”
and it is said lie believed niggers had no soul
and ought to go to hell anyhow. President
Brown says that ho has seen a revival there.
The only revival there was when Kilpatrick
witli his sanded strap created a simultaneous,
homogenous revival, [laughter.] I wish yon
could sco Kilpatrick. He is a daisy, witli his
hair down in front like a parrot. The com
mittee recommended his removal. Ho is there
yet!
“These bosses think they are captain of the

“This is n national question. Tho message
of every governor from Maine to California

“XVe hear very much in regard to tho sen
timent involved in this question. Sentiment
is the refinement of public opinion, tiieessence
of public policy. It conies to us first in tlie
crude shape of public opinion, it: refines
itself into public sentiment, and wc all bow
down to it. It then takes on tiie higher form
of public policy when tiie courts of our coun
try adopt it as tiie guiding ruling star of their
action. It works without precedent and binds
without authority.
“Sentiment! Mr. Chairman! XVliy. sir,Hie

“Sentiment, Mr. Speaker! Why, sir, it is a
sentiment that brings Jefferson Davis to Geor

Mr. Ham—•" There arc three objects in tho
punishment of criminals: vindication of the
law; reform, if possible : ami mal*o the crimi
nal self-supporting. The legislature has noth
ing to do with the largo prolits made by tho
lessees, Unit if there was profit lot it go to tho
taxpayer.”
Nir. Hull'— “Mr. Speaker,Thave said nothing
that I will take back. I have nothing to ask
from the house. When I proposed to leave
this (|Ue<tion with the people, I neversawsuch
dodging in Georgia. Why not leave it with
the people? Smooth-faced young mon, who
were in swaddling clothes when this damnable
system was inaugurated,‘•o around to defeat
this HHI. When I a]ludeti to the money, fraud
and corruption of this system, what a getting ■
under the table there was. You will not leave
it to the people to improve the system. Some
of the young men want to be solicitors. I hope
Joe Brown will go back on you. There is not
a white man who w ill un<(ualiftedly indorse
' the system, You will not place restrictions on
; the h s>er,s, appoint wardens, impose penalties
. for escapes, divide whit< and colored convicts.
I («r anything else. Certain paid gentlemen are
i fighting this bill like they did the oil bill. Men
with free railroad passes in their pockets aro
nut competent to act.”
Mr. West—‘□voted against tho bill con
scientiously. 1 have the right to my opinion
as much as the gentleman from Bibb, and I
propose Io exorcise it. lie should confine him
self to the bill. Does he impugn the motives
of members?”
Air. Jones —“Mr. Huff is touching on topics
he ought not to touch on.”
Mr. Huff '"i am speaking on tho bill. I
am responsible for what I say. Aly room is at
No. 614, Kimball house. Tho young mon
have not investigated the question. There aro
. men who cannot distinguish between tlieir
• duty to the state and a good dinner.”
J Air. Smith of Glynn—”l shall vote for the
bill, but I do object to Mr. Hull's reth'eting on
the young men of the house by tho talk of the
influence of free passes. Tho young men of
the house are true and tried.” [Applause.]
Mr. Hull—“No one is hurt unless he is
guilty.”
3lr. Smith —“T object to the reflections indi
rectly on the young men.”
Mr. Hull—“1 never do anything indirectly.
T am reflecting on the methods of legislation.
Why not give directions to Governor Gordon
to stop dealing in the farcical?”
Mr. Smith -‘"L rise to a point of order. Tho.
gentleman has no right to attack the governor
in that way and tax him with being farcical.”
Mr. Hull’—“l am not attacking the govern
or. 1 have confidence in him that ho will do
right. Some do not, and some will not un
i tlciMand me. If not in tho legislature, I shall
be heard outside. Will you lot me introduce
a roolution to leave the matter to the people?
1 move to take from the table the motion to
reconsider.”
Mr. Evans-" “The matter has been passed
on already by the house,”
Air. Jackson introduced a resolution provid
ing for a commit too to report in relation to a
suiiablc mark tor tho grave of William Mcln
tosh. The resolution, was, under the rules,
referred to tho finance committee,
Tho William Mcfntovh referred to was a
half-breed Indian, who was chief of the Creek
nation at the 1 imo that the largo concessions
in the way of land were roceivt d from that
people. He it was who signed the treaties, and
his people were so indignant that they kill* <1
him. His grave is in Carroll county not far
from the Chattahoochee river, situated in an
old field, neglected and uncarrd lor. r l he
object of the Jai kson resolution is to have
the grave marked by a plain, simple tablet,
whereon the dead chieftain's name and the
proper dates shall bo inscribed.
The house, passed yesterday an important
bill providing for direct taxation for public
school purposes. Ji was the finance commit
tee's substitute for Mr. Belt’s bill.
Mr. Belt's bill was tolcvy’ an additional tax
for 18SS of ouo tenth of one per com, which is
one mill for school purposes.
Tho tax levies arc: For 1887, general pur
poses, 2.6 mills; for capitol, .85 of a mill; for
sinking fund, .32 of a mill, a total of 3.77 mills.
wFor 1888, general purposes, 2.6 mills: for capi
tol, .85 of a mill; tor sinking fund, .32 of a
mill, a total of 3.57,
Mr. Belt’s bill would have made tho (ax
levy for 18s8 4 and 57-100 mills. The finance
committee thought this too heavy a tax, but
as tho members of the commit
tee desired to do all that
could be prudently done for common school
education, they reported a substitute, which
levies for 1888 a tax of tvvo-trnlhs of a mill, so
that thi,'. tax and the capital tax of 1888 would
equal the amount of the capitol tax of 1887,
and the total tax for 1888 vruuld be the same as
the total tax of 1887.
The finance commit lee recognized that this
tax (which will only realize about <S60,000) is a
less amount than is needed for the common
schools, but th< v regard iG passage as impor
tant because it n cognizes:
First. 'Ul:c principal of direct taxation for
common school editc;ition.
Second. By referring to the present capitol
tax, they Lope that succeeding legislatures
will iiicreast the amount after th<- capitol is
linisheu, believing that the taxpayers will be>
willing to raise each year an amount not less
than the amount they have paid in 1887 fur
building the capitol.
The house of representatives having refused
to agree to the senate ainendineiit to the bill
to regulate the manner of conduct ing educa
tional institutions in this state, to protect the
rights of colored and white people, and to pro
vide penalties for the infraction of the provis
ions of tho Jud, the question what action
should the senate take m the matter was
raised.
Mr. Lumpkin moved that the senate recede
from its position as contained in the amend
ment to the bill, commonly calk <1 the Glenn
bill, ami on the motion to recede, the yeas and
Days wore demanded. The senate refused to
ree< de by' 19 nays to 13 yea . The vote was as

Mr. Wright (Ist; moved the appointment of
a conference committee consisting of three
from the senate and live from the house. Mr.
Smith moved to table the motion; the yeas and
nays w« re again called, and the motion to
table was lost, by yeas 16, nays 17. The motion
to appoint a committee of conference was taken
also, bv yeas ami nays, and the motion pre
vailed l»y y eas 17, nays 15.
President Davidson announced that tho
rules n quired the membert of a committee of
conference to bo those who had favored the

fore would appoint on the part of the senate,
Messrs. .Jackson, Smith (6th,) and Brantley.
< ollege Approprtailons.
The senate yesterday did some excellent
work. During the morning session, it passed
four appropriation bills that will tend in a very
gn at measure to increase the usefnlm - and
arid to tho comfort ami convenience of tho
university of Georgia, ami the branch colleges
at Dahlonega, Milbulgcv Die. and Thomasville.
The four bills apmopriatingmonr y .aggreg de<t
I only 8* 17/KX), divirlcu as follows; Five thons-
I ami dollars goes to Athens, to Dah
lon<’ga, to Milledgevilif-, and S3,stXi to
J homasvißc. In e.u h case, th<-terms of the
: bill especially provides for what purpose the
money ‘ hall he expended, and sufficient safe
guards were thrown about the appropriation to
confine it entirely to the objects for whir b it is
: desired. The money for A thens imiMt la: used
• in repair <<f the university durmitorie.: at
Dahlonega, in rcpaii of th<" main < olh build
ing ; at Miiledgevilk", in repairing the damage
r.,»sed by tho earthquake of Ib-Ji; and at
■ Thoma ville, tn placing in general good repair
i the college buildings at Fuat point.

an equal amount should bo apnr priab d to

Mr. Bawls—Does tho gentleman mean to In

ing to vote milllions instead of ten cents per
capita. In the munc of my people 1 protest
against the passage <.; (bebill. Having placed

tion to reconsider.
Here a discussion arose as to the right of re- |
newing the noth e, but the spt H er held that
Mr. Harrell cduld not withdraw the motion to
reconsider.
Air. Rawls, in his speech opposing the mo
tion to reconsider, said that the approj riation
for general school purpose ; presented the fol
lowing important figures,showing that tho largo
corporations of concentrated wealth would pay'
the largest proportion of this tax. and small
counties would receive more mom \' than they
paid out. This statement was based on the
original bill for 1-10 of one per cent, but would
apply to the present bill proportionately.

1 move to table the motion to reconsider,which
prevailed.
Mr. Huff offered an additional section
prohibiting convict lessees from confining
white and colored convicts together in the
night, and to forfeit the lease upon a viola
tion. This amendment was adopted.
Mr. Huff then ottered another amendment
providing that tho act should not go into effect
until submitted to a vote of the people at an*
election to be held sixty days aft< r the passage
of the act, and that the ballots should have
printed thereon, cither “ratified'' or “rejec
tion,” “for the present system,” or “against
tho present system.”
Mr. Deuny moved to atm nd the amendment
by striking out " at an election to be held sixty'
<lays after the passage of this m t.” and insert
“at the next general election,” which was ac
cepted by Mr. Hull.
Mr. Birchmore "11 is provided that tho
ballots shall be printed on both sides. Why!”
Mr. 11ulT- •“<’an I explain ’
Air. Harrison —"I insist that under the rules
(hero can be no argument.”
Mr. W(‘st--“The motmn to rise and indefi
nitely postpone the bill lakes precedence over
amendments.”
Mr. Terrell “A motion to indefinitely' post
pone cannot be entertained in < ommittee of the
whole.”
Nir. Harrison, of (.fiotn m. moved that the
committee rise ami report the bill ami amend
ments back, with the recommendation that
they “do not pass.”
Mr. Clay, the chairman, held that tiie mo
tion made by the gentleman from Quitman
wa a principal motion that would di: pose of the
bill. The motion to amend is to perfect, tho
bill, and therefore incithnlal ami timt in
drier.
Nir. Torrell movr<i a a substitute that tho
committee recommend tli;if it do pass. This
was lost, by yeas st», nay s 61. Mr. Harrison’s
motion prevailed by yeas 67, nay .37.
Mr. I lent y offered au amendment to section
27 by striking out “a felony” and "in the peni
t< nt’.'ry from one to five u is" and insert ing
“a misuCmoanor” and “punish<‘<| underseetion

by yeas 30, nays 60.
