By Private Leased Wire. Augusta. Oa., July 1*.—JThe city elec tion yesterday resulted In the election of Captain William M. Dunbar, to the office of mayor, for the term beginning the first of January, 1*47. The oppon ent to Judge Dunbar was Captain W. B. Young, who waa defeated by a majority of BO*. Both of the candidates had put up a hard light, and even Judge Dunbar did not expect to get the majority that he received. Hla supporters were looking for about 244 majority, and when the landslide went hla way, his friends were overcome. The election resulted as follows In the different wards: First ward, Dunbar 1*1, Young 25*. Second ward, Dunbar 141, Young 412. Third ward, Dunbar 141. Young 22*. Fourth ward, Dunbar 475. Young 144. Fifth ward, Dunbar 414. Young 458. The total majority for. Dunbar wa* 504, which to the biggest majority that haa been received by any candidate for mayor In years. There were many minor fights dur ing the day, but none «f them resulted In much damage to the participants. W. A. Mattlson, .one of Captain Young's supporters In the Fifth want, was arrested soon In the morning for alleged vote-buying, but he gnve bond and continued with hto work. The only ward that had opposition for council was the Second, and E. I. Johnson defeated H. H. Walton by 21 vote*. Pal* Delicate Women and Girls.

It was for an Idea of that speech that a Georgian reporter asked Mr. Je< rome Wednesday afternoon, and be vary gladly assented to an Interview on the lines followed by him In the ad dress which caused no much comment In the East, lie said: "Today all through our country we find a case of absolute hysteria, yet no nntlon waa ever built on a warp und woof of perjury, forgery and larceny. From the excited state of public opin ion you would think our country was seeking progress on such a basis. We read that one David Graham Phillip* haa written a book on 'The Treason of the Senate.'

VOTE IN AFTERNOON Many Interruptions Delay Speeches of the Father's of the Bills. Messrs. Alexander, of DeKalb, and Anderson, of Chatham, held the legls- tolatlve boerde Thursday morning, pro and con, on the Boykin and Anderson substitute* for the Boykin antl-buckst shop bill. Both- were considerably Interrupted. Mr. Anderson spoko more at length than Mr. Alexander, and held the floor till, the hour of adjournment. Close attention was given to each of the advocates, and unless there Is an oversupply of bottled-up oratory not In eight, the chance* are that a vote on the bill will be had at the afternoon session. The indications are that the Boykin substitute will pass. It prevents all dealings In futures, the Anderson substitute excepting le gitimate houses. . Ths Discussion 8tarts. The first discussion of the measure wae provoked by the motion of Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, that the house resolve Itaelf In the committee of the whole, Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas, moved to commit with Instructions to the com mittee of the whole to report the bill In 5 minutes, and atated that he made this motion that they might discuss the proposal of Mr. Anderson, a plain mo- i Ion to commit not being debatable. Mr. Hale thought resolving Into the committee of the whole was a useless waste of time, and meant an trftermln- abte debate; that the measure was one of great Importance, and ought to be considered. Mr. Mitchell thought this would be a useless conaumatlon of time, and was Inclined to regard the motion tut an effort to delay or defeat the bill. Mr. Anderson said that the gentle man from Thomas was emphatically mlstaksn-upon that score, and later he assured Mr. Hill that hto motion waa not made to delay, and he, too, had a substitute to offer to the bill, aa did Mr. Boykin. Mr. Felder thought every member was Interested In the bill, and a final discussion should be had on both sides of It. Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, said the measure affected very Important Inter ests of the state, and the fullest dis cussion should be had. Mr. Wright said with the bill In the commits* of the whole there was no telling when a vote could be had It In this committee, as the previous ques tion could not be railed. The house thins out on Friday, and the bill would be Jeopardised If not passed upon to day. A colloquy between Messrs. An derson and Wright followed, as to the advisability of going Into the commit tee of the whole. The house turned down Mr. Anderson’s motion by the vote of 45 to 81. The Two Substitutes. Mr. Boykin offered a substitute to hto own bill, and Mr. Anderson Also of fared a substitute to the bill and sev eral amendment* were llkowlse offered. The real teat was between the Boykin substitute and the Anderson substitute. The only tnaterlal change In the ori ginal bill provided by the Boykin sub stitute la the elimination of section 4, which provided that any person with in this state who shall become a party to any such contract nufde In another state, or who shall aid while In this state In furthering such a contract In another state, shall be guilty of a mil demeanor. Mr. Anderson's substitute aimed to put the "bucket shop” out, but not to do awny with tho so-called legitimate exchange. Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, said that the supreme court had long ago de clared theso transactions gambling, and non-enforcable In the courts. This legislation proposes to prohibit by criminal statute these gambling trans actions. Both substitutes had that end In view. Certain Important Interests behind the Bpyktn substitute think the transaction* are undermining the In tegrity of the state. Certain other Im portent Interests behind the Anderson substitute think that there should not be a total prohibition of these transac tions, but that certain dealings should be permitted.

Forbidding one class of these dealers and allow ing another, would make the law fu tile. he thought The taxing of these dealers was Indefensible In morale. We have put our hands In their pockets and shared In these Viholy gains. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, followed In defense of hla substitute, declaring that the whole cotton trade of the state thought It was Imperiled by this bill. He advised conservatism In legislation of this kind. He proposed to submit cold, solid facts. There is need of leg islation to abolish bucket shops, but there to no need to pass -a law that would hamper and Interfere with legltl mat* businesses In this state. In re ply to Mr. Hall, he affirmed that this waa the first time the law had de- flndd what a bucket shop' was. Re plying to Mr. Wright, of Floyd, If the gentleman from Chatham knew of a bucket shop In Georgia, "The gentle man knows of several,” he replied, "there to one now In the Kimball Hoqae, and also one In the Piedmont Hotel, both In full blast.” A "Legitimate Exchange." Mr. Covington wanted him to define a legitimate exchange, which he did, explaining the difference between the bona flde transactions of the exchange and the Illegitimate transactions of the btirket fchnns. \Vh#*r« thf»rn 1m' nn* hnnn sion—Pass and Intro duce Many Bills. If the house should pass Senator Al sobrook's bill, passed In the senate on Thursday, for the protection of game and birds, every foot of land In Geor gia will be 'posted, and there can be no hunting anywhere without the consent of the property owner. Senator A Isobrook'* bill waa offered i a substitute to Senator Wheatley's measure Introduced for the Incorpora tion of the Adbon Society In Georgia and conferring certain powers on that organization. Senator Wheatley was badgered by the members on hla bill, and after they had cornered him once or twice, he raised a shout of laughter by naively confessing: “Gentlemen, this to not my bill, but was Introduced by request." Senate Has a Busy Session. The senate got down to real hard work Thursday, passing seventeen senate and house bills, and Introducing fifteen new measures, several of them of considerable Importance. The bill of Senator Williams for state Inspection of all oil brought Into the state passed, with the paragraph pro file salary Increase of the bucket shops.

The bill, replied Mr. Alexander, ould not affect any bona flde .sale, even though fur future delivery. It wa* at first proposed to eliminate those ho engaged In -hedging," but It was the purpose to prohibit such transac tions altogether. Mr. Nolan Inqlred If the bill would prevent a party from dealing with, for nstance, the Alabama exchange. Mr. Alexander said It would not. Mr. Hall Inquired If It would prevent party here from putting an order In trolled by a desire to enhance his rep utation d< loss worse than make a mis take—he commits a crime. •This hysteria won't tost. Thing* will rome around all right, and this yellow literature will then be revealed to us In Its true light. If it haa not al ready been revealed." New York under the bin, It would not," replied Mr. Alexan- der. •Than read your bill," retorted Mr. Mr. Alexander explained that It pre vented these exchanges from operating here In the state either by some mem bership thereof, en agent or corres pondent. Mr. Hall thought that parties who bought farmers' cotton crops early In the season, and could not go on thess exchanges and "hedge." could not in the future buy these crops of the farm* ers as heretofore. The opening up of an office was only prlma facto evidence as provided In section 4, and only puts •he burden on the accused party. Sam* Effect as Gambling Law. The pardon clause where one gave testimony, he replied to a question of Mr. Nolan, of Henry, waa Intended to have the same effect as the taw now aa to gambling, which was not compel- able, but optional with tha party giv- go, there are thousand made through the bucket shops. He read from Dr. Broughton a very tierce denunciation of the bucket shop. Mr. Anderson said that In these bucket shops you had about as much chance for your money as If you flipped up on the turn of a coin. Replying to a question of Mr. Hall, If Savannah was not now the third cot ton market In the world, and what ef fect the passage of the Boykin substi tute would have on that city as a cot ton port, he asserted that now they ex port a million and three-quarter bales of cotton, and there was not an ex porter there but that would be ham pered and hurt If this Boykin substitute passed. Mr. Longley asked how they would be hampered, which he promised to ex- S lain later In th* course of hla remarks. efutlng the argument that the state waa being ruined by these transactions, he cited the 847,040,000 Increase In th* tax returns last year, and the probable additional Increase from forty to fifty millions this year. Under this bill as It now stands everybody Is' prevented from "hedging.” The line of demarca tion to clearfy drawn between thee* two substitutes. The Boykin bill pre vents every transaction on margin, Mine prevents legitimate transactions and forbids only those that arc Illegiti mate. He stated that he was Informed that lawyere representing the Atlanta Credit Men's Association had drawn the Boy kin substitute. This brought Mr. Boy kin to hto feet In a Jiffy, with the state ment that every principle In this sub stitute was In the original bill; that Mr. Harvle Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association, Mr. Richard Cheatham of the Credit Men's Association, himself nnd several friends of the measure had conferred and agreed on this substitute measure. Buoket Shops and Exchanges. "There to a wide fundamental differ ence," continued Mr. Anderson, tween bucket shop* and bucket shop ping on the one hand and the legiti mate exchanges on the other. The latter have had to bear the brunt of the attacks bn th* others. He read a letter from Mr. Kincaid of the Griffin mills to Mr. Malcolm Maclean, of Savannah, that he had for three months bean supporting the Anderson bucket shop bill, to show that the gentlemen now urging the Boykin substitute did not know what they wanted. Even the S entleman from DeKalb, Mr. Alcxan- er, admitted he did not know what ‘hedging" meant. The aim and purpose of the legiti mate houses are that their contracts shall be executed: the aim and purpose of the bucket shop 1* that they shall never be executed. He read the rule of the New Orleans exchange prohibit ing any of Its members from dealing with bucket shops, except for actual delivery of cotton, and said that ths same rule prevailed In the New York exchange. Mr. Worthen, of Wilkes, wanted to know If money wqa ever lost on the exchange. "Why, certainly," said Mr. Anderson, 'Just as any man would lose money if he bought a thing too high and went to sell It. Men hare lost money In horses,” he said. Legitimate Commissions. A bucket shop concern run under the name of Woodall had offered a man the entire commission on the margins to represent them In a small town, and they would do this If they depended on legitimate commlsalone atone. The exk change* at Chicago, New York, Liver pool and Bremen would continue to op erate and their price* be accepted by the business world Irrespective of what ws did or thought about It. The men who accept margins are not th* agents of the exchanges, but your agent. Buy ing on margin waa like buying on ao- counl. He related an Instance where he put a thousand margin In buying some stock and the broker put up the balance for him on Interest, and a few weeks later he drew the dividend upon that particular stock. With these le gitimate exchangee It la always an ac tual transaction. He told of a farmer who had 1,744 balsa of cotton In February, 1*44, when cotton was selling at 17 cents. He ex ercised good buxines* foresight and sold hto crop for that year for If cento. .When the fall delivery came cotton we* .e HI oente If thla hill' vldlng for state oil Inspector stricken. Senator Williams said he had put the clause to raise the salary Into the bill by request, but had had It stricken at the request of the commissioner of agriculture and the agricultural com mlttee.

C„ July IS.—What would have proved one of the largest Jail deliveries ever made In North Caro. Ilna wa* frustrated Tuesday night by ths prompt action of Sheriff Reed. There were thirty-five prisoners in the Buncombe county Jail at the time, and elaborate preparations which had been made for a wholesale escape were discovered during ths day by the Jailer The attempt was made shortly after » o'clock. Just a few minutes alter ths sheriff had placed his deputies on guard around the outside pf the Jail. Th# crowd of escaping prisoners were headed by Will Trammel, charged with horse stealing and burglary, end "Dock" Fowler, who was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. The prisoners were met with a fusllade of shots from the guards, and at once re treated to their cells through the brok- en wall of the Jail. When the sheriff later entered the jall all the men were lying on their cots apparently asleep aa if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, although there was a large hole rut In the wall of the large cell occupied by the white prisoners. An other hole cut in the floor of the cell and communicating with the cell di rectly underneath occupied by the col- ored prisoners. The corridor door wss wrenched from Its hinges, and a large hole Cut through the rear brick wall of the Jail, at a height of about 8 feet from the ground.
