AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
An important Decision in the Convict
Lessee Case,

ATLANTA, Jan. Il. To-day the Sunrame
Court rendered a decision in the case of
tne penltentiary companies against the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
Company. In 1876, when the convicts of
the State were leased to these eompanies
Tor twenty years at $4,000 a wear. 2OO
were reserved for the road for three years
The road has never had its full quota at
one time, but has had from $50 to 200. Since
the law was passed the last Legislature
voted 1t $50 for three years longer. In
one shape or another the case has gone
10 Tue supreme Court five times. but this
decision settles it. The court held that
under the act of 1876 the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad Company was en-
IltIeu 10 nave the services of 250 cOnyicts
lof three years, and after said railroad
company has had the services of $50 CON
Nlcts for three years the penitentiary com
panles are entitled to the same, and the
railroad company is entitled to no more
unless tne railroad company can bring
ltsell within the proviso of the act of 1876
by showing that as an Incorporated rail
road company at the time when the act Of.
lo'o was passed Ii was working cOnyicts
on It's road and was entitled to release
OF tne conVlctss The act of 1876, authorizing
the GOYernOr to lease cOnvicts to the peui-
tentiary companies, is constitutional and
valid. Contracts of lease made by the
Governor with penitentiary companies
are valid and binding both upon the State
ana the companies. The Joint resolution
or the General Assembly of the
state of 1888, authorizing the
Principal Keeper of the Penitentiarv
TO turn over 250 cOnvicts to the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad Company is
unconstitutional and void: first, because
1t lmpalrs the obligations of the contract
made by the State with the penitentiary
companies. and, second, because the State
cannot part with the police power of the
state over the cOnYicts. The case goes to
the superior Court for trial as to the facts,
and SUIT will be brought to recover dam
ages from the road for having used more
conYicts than it was lawfully entitled to.
A warm rain has fallen all day, but it

While in this condition they are useless

considered incurable, and because Of il

them to keep good time. Among the meth

did not keep time at all. When replaced

The owner, a jeweler, puzzled himself

cause OF this strange partiality on the
part OF his watch for silver. He discoy-

case had become magnetized. On sub
shutting another Tor it, the watch kept as
good time in the gold case as in the silver

H. B. PAYNE.
What is Thought of Him in Washing
ton.

Ne'o York Herald WasIington SDseia1
Ihe success of Mr.. Payne in Ohio has
caused disappointment and alarm amOno
democrats here who have hoped that their
party would appear in the Presidential
campaign as the enemy Of monOpohes and
and the friend Of the people and popular
reforms. 1t is confessed and nowhere
denied that Mr.. Payne's victory is the
victory OF the Standard oil COMPANY and
oil organized capital in other directions.
Against Mr.. Payne personally NOTHING is
SAID, but his election over both Mr.. Pepdle-
Ton and General Ward is thought to be
uahaSlhg TO the party, because of the
influences Which produced the results.
II is one more instance" said Demo-
cIat, 10 snow that even In the Democratic
purity, though much moro in the ReDubli-
can, corporations and monopOIist infn-
ence, aided by corrupt tools in their en-
PlOy, can punish faithful and honorable
publlc servants, crush out the asnira-
tons of honest poor men. and mt their
own instruments into the highest places.
Mr.. Payne has now become Senator
from ONO, or rather Senator of the
Standard Oil Company and of various
powerful railroad interests. He is an
ambitious man. In Cincinnati. i'm 1850.

dency, backed then also and openIy fv

lie was not nominated then, but we are
soon to hold another convention. l am
curious to see whether Mr.. Payne will
turn up again as a candidate. His sue
cess IN Ohio is a bad blow to our party.
The influences which brought it about
cannot be concealed, and how can wo
ask the people to trust us when they see
That our party in so great a State
as OHIO allows itself to become the tool of
a glgantic monopoly, and refuses its more
honorable and most influential place to
Mr.. PendletOn, who has served the cOun-
Try ana the party with wisdom and credit.
and to General Ward, who has been one
OF lts most effective and deserving men,
Ders, 10 give it to a man of enormous
wealth-not an able nor prominent public
man-wh0 represents one of the most
powerful mOnOpolies in the land. If the
Democratic party is going to put million
ares at the head it cannot expect the con-
hdence and the votes of the people. That
is what troubles me.7

The Methodist Conference

MADISON, FLA, Jan. 1.-THE confer
ence here is progressing very well. There
were present to-day about 12j ministers.
DR.. Paine, President and Secretary of the
Orphan Home, preached an interesting
sermon last night. He is quite success
ful as collector. Rev. Lyons, Superin-
tendent of the Bible Society, and Mr..
Camden, from North Georgia, and others
were introduced to the conference. DR..
HaygOod's report from Emory College
shows that institution to be solid. This
report was supplemented by an eloquent
address from DR.. Hopkins. A centenary
mass meeting will be held tomorrow.
Addresses will be delivered by Bishop
Keener, DR.. Hopkins and DIR. Young. The
Board of Missions will hold its anniver-
sary tomorrow night. The conference
has requested Rev. Mr.. Lee to write his
