Atlanta, February 19, 1874.
There is no doubt that the session will
be continued. To show you how they do,
the Senate to-day had under considera
tion the act to tepeul the act of 1870 in
reference to the Augusta and Summerville
Street Railway Company, which amends
the churter and prevents the City Council
from repealing certain contracts and ordi-
naucos without the consent of the Street
Railway. The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee roported adversely to Foster’s bill
with the House amendments, and report
ed a substitute simply repealing the act
i lb70, thus leaving tho parties where
they stood before the passage of the act.
The talk on this matter has already cost
the State $12,000.

thorizing the Governor to enter into ne
gotiations with the Central Railroad,
through Campbell Wallace, N. J. Ham

missioners on tho part of the State to
perfect the details of the proposed udjust
ment with tho Macon and Brunswick
Railroad, was adopted and sent to the
House, where, on motion of Mr. McDan
iel, it was tabled by 79 to 47 votes.
House.
Tho tux bill being taken up, the House
agreed to the Senate amondmeuts, except
tho one regarding express, telegraph and
sleeping cur gross receipts; and one pro
posing a new section making tho commis
sions of tux receivers and collectors the
same as provided in section 98G of the
Code.
The following were lost:
To provide for the payment of balance
due Peterson Thweatt.
To pay members expelled by the bayo
net in 1870.
To create tho office of Inspector and
Adjutant General.
Tho following were passed
To authorize tho Mayor and Council of
Butler to issue bouds as currency; to
authorize the Ordinary of Chattahoochee
county to perform the duties of Clerk of
tho Superior Court; to cause an enumer
ation of the school population to be
taken quadrennially; to prohibit the use
of dangerous aud explosive oils for light
iag passenger trains ; to designate the
holidays to bo observed in the acceptance
aud payment of bills of exchange, bank
checks aud promissory notes; to estab
lisk a department of agriculture. There
was some discussion and considerable in
terest over this bill, both for and against
<‘yes 7G, nays 70. The Speaker voted
oye, and the bill passed. Notice of re
consideration was given.
A facetious bill was proposed allowing
Smith, Jones, Brown, and others, to ped
dle without license. Col. Hoge moved to
amend by inserting tho name of W. D.
Auderson, of Cobb. Col. Anderson pro
posed to amend by sending E. F. Hoge to
the Orphan Asylum.
railroad freights.
The IIousv has possod a bill providing
that no railroad doing business in this
blate, shall charge on local freight a
greater advance than 10 per cent, upon its
through rates. See how disastrously this
hiw will affect Columbus. The Western
& Atlantic Road has agreod not to work
to Columbus, provided the South «fc North
Alabama will operate to Macon. Under
this “division of territory,” as the rail
road men call it, all the Western produce
which once flowed into Columbus, via
Atlanta, now goes by Montgomery. Under
this bill, if it becomes a law, the Western
Railroad of Alabama will be forced to
M. E. Church with Hi. The talk is that
prominent bankers aud capitalists aro in
terested in Kimball’s keeping his month
shut. He intimated upon his arrival bore
that his daughter’s health required at least
thirty days in the South, and ho might re
main that long, and perhaps longer. Half
of tho allotted time has expired, aud he
has not spoken any of the important in
formation he claims to possess.
To Bullock’s defence, published after
his flight, ho appended a letter from Bul
lock. The burden ofthe whole document
was to Bhow that he fled from Georgia
because tho lawless condition of the Stato
afforded him no protection.
WHAT GEORGIA WANTS
is to know II. I. K.’s relation with Kim
ball ; to get information concerning the
various railroad endorsements tho Opera
House and its mortgage; the various
operations in Georgia lands, and
specifically that mythical organiza
tion—the Tennessee Car Company.
Continue to await his information, aud
when tho thirty days expire you may find
him gone, to reappear at his needle fac
tory in Boston with tho boast that ho re
mained a month in tho capital of Georgia
without a charge, aud not even an at
tempt at arrest. Thus ho will give the
lie to tho entire press of Georgia. Kim
ball may make sharp needles, but the best
aro as blunt as a maul compared with his
own shrewdness. What has become of
the millions he handled ? His bankrupt
schedule shows ho owned millions, aud
every enterprise ho touched in Georgia is
deep in debt. I noticed in your last issue
that a negro was sent to tho chain gang
for twelve months for stealing an axe ;
yet Kimball luxuriates iu the bridal cham
ber of the big Atlanta hotel, aud will not
any a word about the millions he is
charged with haviug appropriated, aud
Atlanta feasts him. Do you see the point ?
I do not want to do the man injustice.
The State should demand a showing of
him; and if he can prove himself inno
cent, none will be rejoiced more than
‘Muscogee.”
THE SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
had a meeting last night in the Hecate
chamber. Gen. A. H. Colquitt presided.
The meeting was held to organize an aux
iliary Society to the geueral one organized
in Richmond. Hon. B. 11. Hill spoke for
an hour. It was one of tho grandest and
most eloquent speeches ever delivered.
Ho vindicated Air. Davis from tho asper
sions of his enemies, eulogized Gen. Lee,
and his argument in defense of tho South
in her struggle for self-government was
masterly. The address is to be published
by tho Society, which was fully organized.
The Southern Magazine was announced

THE GEORGIA SENATE VOTES TO
ABOLISH THE DEATH
PENALTY.
Atlanta, Feb. 20,—Tho Senate voted,
by 14 to 12, to abolish tho death penalty.
The House will not pass such a mawkish

SOUTH CAROLINA TAX PAYERS'
CONVENTION.
Columdia, S. C., February 20.—Tho
Tax Payers’ Convention adjourned to-day
after a session of four days. A report
was udopted instructing the executive
committee to prepare a constitution and
laws for the county organizations to be
known as Tax Unions, to be established
in every county in the State, and all citi
zens, white and black, who pay taxes, to
be admitted to membership. The object
is to prosecute criminal and dishonest
officials, and endeavor to relieve tho bur
den of taxation.
A resolution was adopted appointing a
committee to appeal to the State Legisla
ture for u redress of grievances, aud a
committee of fifteen of tho most promi
nent citizens of the Stato was appointed
to go to Washington aud lay before Con
gress a memorial to that body.
A letter was received from certain
bondholders iu New York, protesting
agaiust any action on the part of the Con
vention looking to a repudiation of tho
State bonds. On motion, the Conven
tion resolved that, when tho honest peo-
plo of the Stato get possession of the
government, they will do what is just,
fair aud equitable amongst nil its cred
itors.
PENN BEDELL KILLED BY GAINES
CHISOLM-SOME PAR
TICULARS/
The killing of Penn Bedell, in Atlanta,
on Thursday evening, by Gaines Chisolm,
has sensationalized both Atlanta and Co
lumbus. The first fight alluded to oc-
ourred about dusk ; the killing a little
later. Tho gas was lit on the streets, and
darkened skies created an obscure atmos
phere. The killing occurred very near
the Kimball House. The first reports
make out a cowardly murder.
Oar correspondent says:
I telegraphed you last night that Penn
Bedell had been shot and killed by Gaines
Chisolm. Both are gamblers, and both
were roared in Columbus, and are known,
in one way or another, to all your city
readers. I did not telegraph further, be
cause I was not feeling well, and reports
were so contradictory. Bedell was by far
the best man of tho two, aud leaving out
bis profession and the incidents and bru
talizing instincts thereof, was a gentle
man. He had many of tho elements of
one, &9 many of your best citizens will
testify. Ho had tho reputation of being
true as steel, and is not believed to have
boon capable of a cowardly act.
A BRUTAL MURDER.
From all I can learn, I must say the act
was a cowardly and brutal murder. The
reports from the best sources are these :
A man on the Air-Line Railroad was re
ported to have lost $1,600 in a sporting
room, with which Bedell is said to have
been connected. Bedell owed Chisolm
some money, r.nd hearing of this transac
tion, Chisolm thought it would be a good
time to collect. Chisolm found Bedell in
tho Turf Exchange.
Bedell accosted him very genially, say
ing, “How aro you, Gaines?”
Chisolm replied, “I’d like to see you a
little while, Bedell.”
The pair stepped out and conversed in
front of Newton’s drug store, on the side
walk. A passer reports hearing Chisolm
uso some opprobrious epithets and worse
names for Bedell—what you would call a
sound cursing.
THE FIST FIGHT.
You all know what Bedell is, and that
Chisolm, ilnugh shorter, Appears to be
the stouter man. From Bedell’s remarks
afterwards, it is to bo inferred that ho
was unarmed, aud that he knocked Chis
olm's pistol, which ho had drawn, into a
mud hole, whore it was afterword found
Be this as it may, after standing his
cursing some time, Bedell with his fist
knocked Chisolm down and then kicked
him several times, when tho parties were
separated by Col. Pike Hill and others.
Bedell walked to his room. A man passed
(John Kimbrough I believo ho is called),
who, observing the excitement of Bedell,
askod him the cause. Bedell told him
that Chisolm, a scouudrel, had cursed
him and drawn a pistol on him, when he
(Bedell) knocked him down and boat him.
Bedell asked Kimbrough for the loan
of a pistol. Kimbrough replied he did
not have one, and advised him to go to
his room quietly, and there would be no
trouble. Bedoll answered ho had nothing
in his room but an ax, and if they came
there ho would light them with that, lie
was then arrested by a policemau who
had come up, by whom he was carried to
the guard house, where he gave bond for
his appearance next morning.
In the meantime, Chisolm had been
joined by his brother Johu, arrested, nnd
also carried to tho guard-house, whore he,
too, gave bond. Ho immediately com
menced huuting Bedell, and called at sev
eral places, asking for him.
THE MURDER.
Bedell came from the gnard-honse, ac
companicd by an officer. As they ap
proached the corner of tho Kimball House
uext to the car shed, the policeman saw
Gaines Chisolm and another man (who
he says was John Chisolm) standing in
in tho gas light just at the corner, when
ho remurkod, “Thoro they are now.” and
tried to pass them.
Guinea Chisolm called out in a loud
tone something like “Poun ! Poun 1” nnd
brandished his pistol. His companion
also drew a weapon, and a pistol was fired.
Bedell fell. Gaines Chisolm cried out to
the officer, “G—d d—n you, are you
backing up?” Tho officer of course left
Ho says ho wus imarmod. I hope
ho was. Chisolm then came to Be

[8PBCIAL CORRESPOND!H0K INQUIRER AND SUN.]
Washington, Feb. 16, 1874.
The speech of Mr. Dawes, in the House
last week, is attracting a groat doal of at
tention and exoiting much commout. The
Republicans wore at first disposed to ro-
gard it as an assault on the Administra
tion, and were casting about to mould a
new leader for the House. Since readiug
the speech, howevor, they have bad op
portunity for reflection, and reflection has
showed them that while Mr. Dawes might
be punished for “disloyalty to the party”
this would not wipe out the figures he
placed on tho National blackboard; and
these were not figures of rhetoric, which
are so common here, and which are em
ployed to conceal unpalatable truths.
They wore hard, dry mathematical nume
rals, taken from tho official records made
up by Government officers, and stated
with plain honeBty. He showed that there
were thirty ports of entry that did uot
have sufficient receipts to pay tho ex
penses of maintenance, which moans sal
aries of officials. Twenty-nine of them
cost the Government annually $145,000.
He showed also, that but two navy yards
were necessary on tho Atlantic coast;
that the pension agencies can be abol
ished with vast saving to tho Govern
ment, and the pensions paid through
tho machinery of the post-oillco from
Washington; that vast sums might bo an
nually saved from the reckless appropria
tions made for public buildings through
out the country, and so on through the
various expenditures of tho Government
Here is a statement of the national ex
penses since the present Administration
cauio into power : In 18G9, $322,000,000 ;
1870, $309,000,000; 1871, $292,000,000;
1872, $272,000,000; 1873, $290,000,000;
while in 1874 tho appropriations run to
$319,652,074. In 1870 they paid $101,-
000,000 of tho public debt; 1871, $94,-
000,000; 1872, $99,000,000; 1873, $43,-
000,000 ; and for this year tho appropria
tions have run from $290,000,000 to
$319,000,000 without paying a single dol
lar of the publio debt.
Now, those figures may bo unpleasant
for the contemplation of those who are
directly responsible for wnking them, but
it will be better for tho majority to
fully begin tho practice of reduction than
attempt to oxplain them or punish
the diligent scholar who merely copied
them from tho official text-book. The
fact that tho present mismanagement aud
the most shameful extravagance in both
the Executivo and Legislative depart
ments have prevailed sinco the close of
war is too patent to bo questioned, and
yet thoro has not been found, during nil
tho days of investigation and inquiry <
the part of Mr. Dawes* committee,
single department officer who will admit
that retrenchment is possible. The
Treasury department, with its 2,800
clerks, cannot reduce a single clerk, and
tho same is true of every other depart
ment, when it is known that tho law au
thorizes but 400 clerks for this depart
ment, and requires them to work on an
overage nine hours por day, arid that they
work but six, tho possibility of retrench
ment will bo understood. It requires
about five million dollurs per nun urn to
pay the clerical force of tho departments.
Now, suppose these national clerical
gentlemen bo required to work nine in
stead of six hours per day. This would
add onc-third to tho working capacity
of tho force. If the present
force bo sufficient to do tho work,
it follows that its present numerical
strength could bo reduced if tho legul
number of hours nro devoted to labor.
One-third of five millions is $1,806,000,
which represents the amount thut can bo
suved in a single item by an honest en
forcement of tho law. This is plain
enough to every man whoso name is not
on the Republican roll in Congress.
Garfield will attempt to reply to Dawes,
but no special pleading can damage the
arithmetic presented by the latter gentle
man.
Goueral Butler is said to bo tronblod
about the future of things, and complains
that there is none to defend the Republi
can party in tho House suve himself.
Even Ben will not bo able to got away
with Dawes’ figures.
