Atlanta, Jan. 15, 1874.
In the Senate, to-day, thirty-three new
(ills were introduced, and in the House
eveuty-five. Thi9 looks like business,
much time will be devoted to local
t ills.
The matters of general interest which
ill come before the Legislature are : The
oustiiutional Convention, the disposi-
ou of the Macou A Brunswick Railroad,
io repeal of all acts giving State aid to
ulroads, and the repeal of the Lieu law.
The Convention question is more seri-
us tbnn 1 supposed it would bo, and I
hink tho fight will be a hard one. Gen.
ootnbs, in his speech mentioned in my
ast, was, as usual, powerful and eloquent;
ut it seems to mo ho was more opposed
the makers of tho instrument than
;o tUo Constitution itself. He proudly
/owed himsolf an enemy of the General
overnment. His great argument is that
he Georgia Constitution is not the act of
he people, and therefore a Convention
ihould bo held. He wauts yearly eloo-
ions. He says if Legislatures can be
longbt, he wants a new ono to be pur-
hased every year, so that it will prove
ostly. As to the features of the new
onstitution, his ideas were glittering
;oneralitieB rather than plaiu statements,
le was emphatic in denouncing thieves
nd robbers. Tho object of government,
ith him, was to keep people from doing
rong.
After his speoch, a Senator remarked
hat all men, with Toombs, were thieves
ad robbers except himself, and he was
iihfranchised and oould not be one.
My conclusion is the Convention will
ot bo called.
Senate.
Mr. Arnow introduced a bill to encor-
ga emigration. Provides, for a commis-

The law to take effect January 1st, 1875. J
IMPROVEMENT OF THE HALL. \
Dr. Flewollon, the Superintendent of j
Public Works, has been experimenting in
trying to improve the acoustic qualities
of tbo Representative Hall. He has !
stretched a number of wires across the
room, eight or ten foet below the ceiliug,
which he claims lias greatly improved it.
I have not noticed much difference, but
it may bo better. Ono of the Senators
seeing tho wires concluded they were
stretched across for tho flies to light on.
A CAUSE FOB HOPEFULNESS.
The members generally look well, and
are hopeful of the future—probably the
fact that the treasury is well filled has
much to do with it. Muscogee.

A largo proportion of the privato bills

National Transportation Convention
-—Views of. fudge Cochrane.
Iu the Cheap Transportation Conven
tion this morning, Mr. Flagg, of Chicago,
spoke in favor of national legislation for
a narrow- guago railroad from tho East to
tho West.
Cochrane, of Georgia, dissented, con
tending that Congress had no such power
under tho Constitution.
Tho National Cheap Transportation
Convention met at 10 a. m., and was ad
dressed by lion. N. C. Flagg, of Illi
nois. The Railroad Committee roported
in favor of Federal legislation restricting
railroad freights, and in many respects
controlling their management; also recom
mending a national narrow gauge railroad
between tho West and Eastern seaports,
to bo built at tho expense of tho United
States Government.
Judge Lochraue, of Georgia, presented
a minority report.
Both repoits were received and laid on
tho table, and made tho order after tho |
report on water routes has been disposed
of.
Judge Lochrane takes strong grounds
against tho csnstitutionnlity of the re
commendations contained in the majority
report.
The report on “WaterRoutes’’ was then
taken up.
Colonel Carrington, of Virginia, spoko j
in favor of the majority roport.
General Rosser, of Missouri, iu favor of |
the minority report, said tho West was in *
favor of tho construction of the Atlantic j
aud Great Western (’anal ; that tho canal |
was an absolute necessity to tho West, !
and would bo built ut an early day. Ilo ,
said that tho trade of the Soutih was of ,
vast importance to tho West, and they j
did not intend to let it languish. The
West would havo that outlet.
His speech was received with groat ap
plause.
A resolution was passed tendering tho j
thanks of tbo Convention to Colonel B. •
W. Frobol, of Georgia, for his able speech i
delivered yesterday, and ordering it to be *
printed.
Tho Southern members of Congress— j
particularly those from Georgia, Alabama j
aud Tennessee—were uctivo on the ques- i
tion of choop transportation, and thoHO |
from the Wost are united and cordially |
working with them. All are looking 1
close’y to the interests of their constitu
ents.
Tho following is tho report of Judge '
Lochrane, which is also signed by Col. B.
Barrett, «»f tho District of (Vdumbia
to the Natioual Government tho building !
of tho road from the East to tho Wost.
First—Congress hns no power to rogu- |
late charges for freight on railroads, as
therein recommended.
Second—Tho right to build n railroad
for defence is not doubted, but tho right
to construct railroads to carry freights for
the public generally, we deny.
Third—Tho right to rogulate Commerce
does not mean to build railroads to carry
on Commerce. The power to regulate is
one thing, but tho power to create is
another.
Fourth—Charters created by States are
legislative contracts, which neither States
nor Congress can touch without violating
tho fundamental law.
Fifth—Tho right of a mail to his own
property, whether in bunk, bonds or cor
porations, and to uso it ns he pleases, in
violatihn of no law entering into its ex
istence, is sacred, and without which in
heritance wo have uo inheritance.
Sixth—If the Government enters upon
this policy, it would destroy tho rights
of bondholders in existing roads, cause
shrinkage of valueH, unsettle all invest
ments by individuals and give a percepti
ble Bhock to free government on this con
tinent.
