Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18, 1874.
I Tho Legislature continues to consider
more private bills. This is too bad, when
matters of u public interest are to be re
garded. It is disgraceful that business
should bo frittered away in such style,
wrote the other day, or meant to do so,
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, in
stu ul of tho Brunswick and Albany Rail
road, as your paper had it. Your printers
are first-class, aud I know they follow
copy; sol cheerfully assume oil blame.
All said regarding tho Brunswick and A1
bany applies to tho Macon and Brunswick
Railroad. Tho man who can stay hero
and seo hours wasted in useless discus
sions is mightily tempted to use anything
as “wrongly” as the legislators use valu
I able time in trifling, for which loss they
are paid amply by tho State.
Senate.
Mr. Simmons ottered a resolution
which was adopted, that Henry Clews,
having failed to furnish tho Governor
with a statement of tho sales of bonds by
him, as agent of the State, that the Gov
ernor is instructed and required to bring
suit against tho said Clews.
Mr. Kibboe offered a resolution in
structing tho treasurer to burn certain
bonds which have been paid or retired.
I and to keep a record of the same.

WASHINGTON.
[SPBCIAL CORRESPONDENCE KXQITRKR AND SUN.]
Washington, Feb. 15, 1874.
It looks to me as if tho financial opin
ions of Congressmen are gradually under
going a change. Of the iuflatiouists; but
a few of the extreme Southern uud West
ern members still cliug to the first notion
that tho Government ought to issue a
larger addition to the greenbacks now in
circulation. Tho scheme of Mr. Dawes,
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, is gaining recruits. This scheme
authorizes free banking, and it is con
tended will cure the evils under which tho
business interests of tho country now suf
fer. Some who were loud for inflation ut
tho opening of tho session, Rtraugo as it
may appear, have espoused tho Boutv.ell
policy of doing nothing, the belief being
that this is tho wiser and safer courso un-
dor the present circumstances, trusting to
time to bring tho remedy. It is not im
probable that when the clouds have lifted
you will discover free bauks erected into
positive law, nnd find the Secretary of the
Treasury iuviting bids for a temporary
loan.
Tho army nnd fortifications bills have
been passed by the House. Tho appro
priations committee was successful in car
rying their economic theorios iu both in
stances. Tho army bill provides for tho
reduction of tho file of tho army by con
fining enlistments for tho coining year to
5,200. Nearly five millions of dollars are
saved to the Treasury by this bill. Tho
Military committee, falling in with tho
principle of the appropriation bill, will
report a bill providing for tho reduction
of tho army, cutting off five regiments of
infantry. Tho President will bo required
to retiro all officers who havo reached tho
age of (52 years. The stall’ will bo reor
ganized, aud only a certain number of
graduates of the Military Academy will
be commissioned each year—the balance
to be mustered out. Tho fortifications
bill appropriates money ouly to exposed
seaports on the ocean fronts. More de
pendence is placed now on guns of heavy
calibre and long rango than iu stone walls,
aud our own war showed that mud-works
will stand more cannonading than solid
masonry.

Tho nomination of Sum Bard as post
master at Atlanta still hangs on the Ex
ecutive willow of the Senate, aud the
mortal Bard is thus prevented from using
his lyre. Iu the meantime other ambi
tious and patriotic citizens of Atlanta are
buzzing around hero in the hope that the
Senate will put hemlock in Sam's post-
office cup. Among thoso now hero are
Messrs. Rackafellow, Pretty man and

Washington, Feb. 18.—Tho Herald'h
Washington dispatch says tho Democratic
Senators havo agreed to a courso of ac
tion which will euablo them to support
Carpenter's proposition for a now election

Tho Senate is considering tho alcohol
traffic.
Washington, February 18.—Tho bill
appointing whiskey commissioners to
control the alcoholic truftic provoked a
sharp debate. Ferry, of Connecticut, Raid
tho subject proposed to bo covered by
this bill properly belonged to tho func
tions of tho State Governments, and ho
thought it his duty to warn the Senate
what they wero about to do when all such
bills interfering with tho jurisdiction of
the States were brought up.
Wright thought this a very proper
subject for Congressional legislation.
Conkling said the whole object of the
bill was to constitute an inqniiv, and for
this reason he saw no force in tho objec
tions of the Senator from Connecticut.
Ferry said ho hud objected to this bill
because of its tendency. It was based
Soott’s amendment to provide for the FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

gold or United States interest bearing
notes, was defeated by a vote of 30 to 28.

per cent, of the additional bank circula
tion issued during tho month preceding,
which bonds shuli bear interest at the rate
of 5 per cent, per annum, payable quar
terly, and tho principal shall bo payable
at tho pleasure of tho Government, after
ten years from their date, both principal
and interest to bo paid iu gold coin ; but
noue of these bonds shall bo sold at less
than their par value, aud United States
notes received iu exchange therefor shall
never bo reissued, but shall bo destroyed.
