The Committee on the Constitution re- mnnoud a reduction of the homestead • ope thousand dollars realty, and five androd dollars personalty. Thoy will also report favorably on tbe •moral of the capital back to Milledge- ille. The immense crowd at the “Hi House" ; received tho doinonatration iu tho same ! manner. Now that Kimball has returned he greots him as he did when ho loft. We have never flattered him in his greatness; we don’t propose to fawn on him now. Wo give tho facts charged against him. He speculated with Georgia money. He has passed through bankruptcy. Crime has been committed in Georgin. Is Kim ball tho criminal? 11c fled in the night when Kimball did. He comes back ns the guest of tho “Hi House” and is re ceived in the bridal chamber. To-day ho has been clovnted to vie with Gov. Smith and Treasurer Jones, two of tho most conscientious officials in the South. 11c proposes, it is said, to make revelations. Of what is ho charged? He claims to bo innocent of all criminal iutent. It re mains to be s§en whether he is. Tho Governor has given him permission to re turn on the ground to got his evidence, lie and Bullock have put our noble old State under the charge of repudiation. Tho ovidence is against him. Atlanta must deal against him on her own ac* count. The people of Georgia have a right to know how ($85,000 of State funds were used to complete the Opera House, when his contract required it to be done at his own expense. Atlanta alone is interested in the mortgage left on the building,'and misappropriation of city bonds issued to remove the same, as she guarantied the State to furnish nc&pitol, The State desires to have explained tho issue of bonds upon the following roads, of which ho was President, iu addition other illegalities. Tho Brunswick it Albany Railroad i ceivod sonic ($22,000 a milo upon a co siderable number of miles moro than w ever completed. On tho Bainbridge, Cnthbert «fc Columbus Railroad ($000,000 of bonds were endorsed and not a bar of iron laid to this day. The Cartersvillo A Van Wert Railroad, when only a few miles wero finished, from material be longing to the State road, was eudorsod to the extent of ($275,000. Afterwards its name was changed to the Cberoke road and ($300,000 moro bonds eudorsod, whou tweuty miles wore hardly completed. The mixture of his und Bullock's ac counts with those of tho State, and tho failuro to redeem tho lithographic bonds with tho gold bonds, when engraved will all bear discussion from this man who claims all he did is justified by his con science. The Atlanta papers which only a few months ago, noticed tho falsity of Kimball's bankrupt schedule have as yet preferred no charges. This same sched ule was denounced in Wall street ; but Kimball in his interview with the Jlenild reporter, claimod ns much t-trongth as ever in that favored preciuot of wealth. I will only add the ease of the Tennes see Car Company, a mythical concern, which was paid by tho State road over l$t»0,000 of cars which wero never deliv ered. E. N. Kimball was manager and the paper given by Foster Blodgett, then Bupeiutendeut, was eudorsod by him aud his brother Hi. Did ho eudorse such a paper without knowing tho character of the transaction ?

Kimball has re lumed, which is the principal theme of conversation among the peoplo of Atlan ta, and tho members of the Legislature, and visitors to the city. What did he come back boro for at this time? Everybody asks this question; every one lias his own views as to what is a proper answer, while but very few j kit- tc exactly tho real enuso. Tho truth is, ho has long wanted to return, nnd would have done so at uuy time sinco he left, if bo could have been assured that he would not bo arrestud ; indeed, noth ing caused him to take his clandestine flight but to avoid arrest and a criminal prosecution, which he, no doubt, had the very best of reasons for believing would go very hard with him. Not ouly dil he have interests here, presence would have made ad vantageous, but tho interests of others huvo suffered because he was not on hand; for instance, ho had a share aud a half in the Lease of tho State Road, which has been troublesome for tho lessees to man age to their liking in his absence. I D givon out and has often beon soid to carry it up a mighty steep hill, whose summit is so distant from its base where he now stands as to bo out of sight. Why did lie run away from the State in tho night? Nothing but a consciousness of having violated tho law making him self amenable to a criminal prosecution; atul ho 1ms come back only, since tho imiual prosecutions, once begun are about to cease, and ho thinks thero is no louger nuy danger. A short time ago ho wrote a letter to a personal friend here proposing to return, if tho Herald of this city would not advocate his arrest, shown to tho editors, who gave as- o that they would insist on his hav- iug a fair hearing. (He always had a friend and nnd defender iu tho Constitution.) But the main cause of Kimlmll coming hero now, is in tho interest of tho bogus illegal, swindling, frauduleut bonds, is- >r endorsed by the Stnto, at his insti gation, during tho plundering ndministru- f llullock, which the Blalo of Geor gia bus, so properly, repudiated. Tho Legislature is now in session and tho prin cipal attorneys for those bond robbers, Thomas L. .Suoud ami .Judge Loch- rauo, want lvimball here for the moral support which his unmolested presence will give to their cause. Houry Clews was tho Now York purtnur iu this bond ing, of which Kimball aud Bullock wore tho Georgia partners. Your renders know that Clews was ono of tho rotten bankers which wont under in tho late panic, Imt recently he has been put upon a sort of rickety foundation, aud has announced that ho has ••resumed” business again. This no uoubt, was the work of tho repu diated bondholders. In their plan of op erations to try to induce the State of Georgia to pay their illegal bonds, it was necessary, first, for the principal agent in tbe pretended sale of these bouds to re- sumo business ; second, for Kimball, the chief operator iu tho issuing of this un lawful paper, to come back here with a bold face, nnd stalk abroad unmolested, upon the theatre of his plundering opera tions. To make this point iu, their pro gramme. is why Kimball is hero. It is the principal reason, and if wo would agreoto to pay the bonds, it would bo monoy in his pocket, It is also rum .rod that Kimball has been induced to return by ex-Govcrnur Brown and others, formerly attorneys in tho Mitchell heirs case, to testify ou their behalf in tho suit which has boon brought against thorn by Gen. Toombs, tho pro- sent attorney for tho Mitchell heirs, upon tho ground of their having taken advan tage of tho confidential relation of attor neys and clients, in advising them to accept the terms upon which Ibo cuse was settled. There may bo something in this. The prime movers in this conspiracy, last night ventured too far. They made a sa l blunder. They contrived nnd set on foot a serenade to Kimlmll, which was lo call out a speech from him. It was supposed tiiat it would pass off quietly, and givo Kimlmll a heroic triumph, with tho eclat of a grand vindication of himself —an assertion of his iunoccucc—before an npplnudiug nudiouco, with music nnd bannors. It pretended to come from some hiee/tunii'*, whom he had employed, and wiio felt grateful to him personally. It was well contrived, and would have lmd tho desired effect, if it hud boon carried out ; but it miscarried, and was a dis graceful failure. When tho band came into tho rotunda of the Kimball House nnd played an air, und Kimball was called for and made his appearance upon the stairway, the peoplo there assembled wc indignant, aud manifested their fooling unmistakably that tho enterprise broke down at once. They called for Blodgett, and Bullock, nnd “Fatty" Harris, and tho “Chief Conspirator of the Bond Thieves," and otherwise manifested their temper ; so that Kimball could do no more than barely return thanks for tho honor, whou he saw it was host to dssis*., and retired discomfited, to bo consoled by his keepers aud eomfortution as best thoy wero aide. The propriety of the city authorities of Atlanta having him at once arrested is vary freely discussed. Hi sold the Kim ball Opera House to tho State of Georgia for a Capitol, and gave to the Stnto a warranty deod, t-» t ho budding und gr< thus corlifying it to bo freo from ull liens whatever—knowing at the snmo time, that tho Northwestern Mutual Life Insur ance Company held au unsatisfied mort gage upon it afiic/i lx had made, to se cure the paymout of sixty thousand dol lars in niormy >ehieli he had horrotred from the Company; and Bullook, nnd’the at torney on tho part of the Stnto appointed by him t» (xamiuo tho Idle, knew it; Still Bullock accepted tho title und paid Kimball for the properly. That mort gage is still unsatisfied—-not one cent any authority, or a “appropriated" to his giving any equivalent. It is freely talkod of by men of good standing, who expect tho City Attorney aud Mayor to commence a criminal prose cution against him in both these cases, if he does not settle them up fully.

It provides that ull provisions of law horelo- foro existing in relation to the imposition of stnuips upon written instruments, and all penalties imposed by law for tho omission or failure to slump such instru ments as boar date prior to tho establish ment of the Revenue distribution iu the States engaged in the rebellion, bo repeal ed. it further provides that tho timo al lowed for stamping deeds, mortgages or other papers which bear dale since tho es tablishment of said revenue districts bo extended to - day of - 187 . Any Judge or Justice of tho Peace in said in surrectionary States may attach stamps heretofore required upon said documents, and tho Commissioner of internal Revenue shall bo authorized by Ibis act to furnish stamps for such purposes to the order of tho President or Cashier of any National Bank upon a certificate of do- posit iu such bank. The Bill is prefaced by a. preamble de claring that in the late insurrectionary Slates, during the war, it was impossible to proeuro tho reveuuo stamps required by law to be attached to deeds, mortga gers aud other papers iulcuded to bo re corded. Roferrod to Committee on Finauce. Senator Gordon’s bill amendatory of the revenue laws, will give relief to the peoplo if it passes. It provides lor the repeal of all penalties iuqosod for failuro to affix tho revenue stamp to deeds, mort gages aud papers of record in tho South, prior to the organization of tho reveuuo districts in that section and embraces tho whole of tho Southern States. It also extends tho time for tdumpiug all papers bearing dale since tho organization of these reveuuo districts, and allows tho stamps to bo attuched in the presence of a Judge of the Superior Court, or Court of Ordinary, or Justice of tho Poico, no oh to perfect nnd quiet titlos.
