Atlanta, Aug. 3.—After having

thpusand to seyenty-six thousand, the

body had “utterly failed in the dis
charge of is duty to th e house.’’ That
the committee had "fiddled gway at
thp measure for five weeks and then
turned it to the house without having
done a blasted thing.’’
Asa result of the recommitment
action, the btjuse has undone the wofk
of the post twenty-four hours. Gov
