Costly hciiHure—Senate and House Slii.n Mlirewd 111 K.—A New \ low of Him—Historical * Society—Speech of Hon. B.H. Hill. Sjcci il Correspondence Enquirer and Sun.] 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. Senate. Joiut resolution of Mr. Nicholls, au thorizing the Governor to enter into ne gotiations with the Central Railroad, through Campbell Wallace, N. J. Ham mond and George H. Hazlehurst, Com 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 as the official orguu of the Society. Muscogee. WASHINGTON. 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 measure; so murderers need uot rest easy about their necks. 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 doll, aud said, with an oath, “You’ve Now’s your The Convention adopted an address to keen arouud shooting men the people, setting forth that it had ap- : turu * * v0 ^kot you. poalod to tho Legislature and to Congress ' Had ell immediately asked to bo carried for a redress of tho wrongs, and advising [ 1° bis room, where he died iu a short them to organize in a lawful manner und j Gme. was ^ irHt Lieutonaut of the prosecute in the courts of tho Stato all Atlanta Zouaves, tho members of which dishonest officials. j took charge of his body.

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. Mr. Boll, of Goorgin, on Saturday last, made a good npoeeh in the Houso on the Atlantic and Groat Western canal. It contained some statistics of value to your section, and I send it to yon entire, so that you can mako such extracts as may bo most interesting to your numerous readers. Chattahoochee. instructed to inquire into the propriety of printing, instead of writing, bills on parchmont. Finance was resumed. Ferry moved to lay the bill and all amendments on the table. Lost by 17 to 36. Finally Merrimon’s amendment, in structing the committee to report as soon as practicable a bill providing for the in crease of the national bank circulation, so that the whole volume thereof shall not exceed $400,000,000, was adopted by 28 to 25. Davis, of W. Va., moved an amend ment instructing the committee to report so as to provide for free banking under the present National Bank law. Re jected without a division. The question then recurred on Buck ingham’s motion to reoommit. Cameron moved that the Senate pro ceed to tho consideration of Executive business. Schurz announced his intention to speak at length. Adjourned. Coukling’s bill, amendment to the Sup plementary Enforcement act of February 28th, 1871, is a copy of the bill introduced by Mr. Lawson in the Houso of Repre sentatives on the 9th inst., relating to registrations in the naturalization of aliens, <fco.

When tho war closed, he escaped Federal arrest by going to England, whence ho returned some two years ugo, siuce which time lie has practiced law in Baltimore. Genernl Wigfall, it will bo reuiomberod, was on tho staff of General Beauregard nt the attack of the Confederates on Fort Sum ter. When the United Stales flag was shot away, and the explosion occurred in tho fort, ho crossed in an open boat, nnd, crawling through a port-hole, demanded if tho garrison would surrender.
