tiou of privilege as to his remarks being mis

SENATE IN FAVOR OF HIS FRIEND
AARON ALPKORIA BRADLEY.
THE STOREHOUSE OF THE ROSWELL
FACTORY ROBBED AND BURNED.
LOSS, SEVEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS OVER INSURANCE.
Atlanta, August 16.
In the Senate, that pestilent lellow, Bradley,
has cost the Slate to-day about four hundred
dollars. Ilis friend, Mr. Campbell (negro), had
the floor this morning, and” harangued the
Senators, or as many as remained to submit to
it, throughout nearly the entire session. At
times the scenes of confusion in the Senate
Chamber were such as would disgrace even a
Radical pow wow, conducted by its vilest lead
ers. Hooting, hissing and calls to order, and
impudent rejoinders from the old black scamp,
called, according to the reconstruction acts,
Senator —all endured to listen to a defense of
the expelled negro. After Campbell had ranted
an hour and a half, no quorum was found.—
Other Senators were drummed up.
Mr Holcombe endured half an hour longer,
then to a point of order. He said Camp
bell was crazy, and not eligible himself.
Mr. Winn wanted a committee of three to
bear him out.
Motions and points of order came thick and
fast.
Campbell aeemed as full of blow as when he
first begun. Everybody was tired down. Even
Conley seemed disgusted, and was evidently
much relieved, when the hour and motion for
adjournment came. He brought down Ids lap
hammer ami adjourned to Monday.
The store house of the Roswell Manufactur
ing Company was robbed, and then burned,
last night.
The factory is not injured.
The loss over the amount of insurance is
about. $7,000.
No stoppage of work on aceount of the fire.

A statement of facts concerning the Texas
cattle disase, made by J. R. Dodge, statistician
ol Hie Department of Agriculture, as the re
sult ol extended investigation, makes the fol
lowing points : First, that the disease is com
municated by cattle from Texas, Florida and
oilier points of the Gulf coast; second, that such
disease is itself unknown in Texas or the Gull
coast; third, that Hie cattle communicating it are
not only apparently healthy Imt are generally
improving in condition ; fourth, that while lo
cal herds receiving the infection nearly all die,
they never communicate the disease to others ;
fifth, that either a considerable increase in ele
vation or a distance of two or three degrees of
latitude from the starting point is necessary to
develop** the virus into activity and viriileuey,
and a further progress of two degrees of lati
tude and a few weeks in time is sufficient to
eliminate the poison from the system ; sixth,
that, as cattle are removed to other miasmatic
sections, as He- Mississippi bottoms, up to the
thirty-Slx lb parallel, communicate no infection
to local herds; seventh, medication has tints
tar been <>f no avail.
It concludes that t.lie disease cannot become
general, and that it cannot, exist except, within
the movements of Texas cattle, which could be
regulated or suppressed, and lliat it does not
result from travel, but. from climatic disease.

New Orleans, August 15.
An act to regulate public education in the
State of Louisiana—prepared under the super
vision of Parson Conway—lias been made the
special order for next Friday. Section Ist
provides schools shall be open to all children
between the ages of six and twenty-one, with
out. distinction of race or color or previous
condition. Tbe hill provides for a Board of
Education, to consist of Hie Lieutenant-Gover
nor aud six persons appointed by the Gover
nor, to he confirmed by the Senate—the State
superintendent alone to lie elected. Tbe direc
tors of the six general school districts into
which the State is divided are to lie appointed
by the superintendent. Tlie superintendent is
empowered to decide, without appeal, all con
troversies or disputes arising under this law,
and invests him with other extraordinary
[lowers, and requires all teachers to inculcate
loyalty to tlie national Government, and kind
ness to all men, regardless of race or color.
Section 5, of chapter 0, provides for the
compulsory attendance of all children between
the ages of eight and fourteen, without fixed
employment, in such school or place of cor
rection as may tie provided hy the Board of
Education, at Hie expense of parents or guardi
ans, or in case ol poverty, at tlie expense of the
school fund, at the discretion of the Board.
The act provides, that in addition to the poll
tax uow provided for, a special tax of one
fourth of one per cent, be levied on all taxable
property in the State. Seetiou 2 of tlie con
cluding chapter gives (he State superintendent
the right to interpret all doubtful provisions of
this law, and Hie present Stale superintendent
is the renowned Ga plain T. W. Conway, framer
of the bill, which covers eighty-two pages.
An important meeting was held last night in
the Governor’s office between prominent mem
bers of both parties. Both concluded the dan
ger ot a collision was imminent. The Demo
cratic gentlemen expressed the opinion that the
only way to insure peace was to stop the sys
tem ot aggressive arid oppressive legislation
now in progress. That, the Democratic and
Conservative elements of the country expected
to accomplish nothing except, in a legal and
constitutional way, but that it was unwise and
improper lor the Slate government to defy the
•entimcßt and wishes of the people. That if
tbe Governor would throw himself upon the
people they would sustain him, and no resort
to force be necessary lor the preservation ot
the peace.
Warmoutb slated that he was authorized to
say, on bebalt of the Republicans, that there
was nothing in reason the Republicans can do
or concede but wliat will be done lo secure
harmony. IJe promised that measures u tot
party polities, obnoxious to citizens, will be
modified, and said he was in earnest in bis de
sire to secure the welfare of all, and to pre
serve peace and order,
Another meeting will be had in a few days,
when it is hoped some practical illustration of
the mutual desire for -harmony will be pre
sented. . . . .
Moderate Republicans are nuforlunately but
few in number. They concede that the system
of legislation heretofore and at present pur
sued is calculated to create strife. _
The Democracy say the preservation ot order
is what they most earnestly desire, anil that it
rests entirely with the Republicans.
