recent edi oriaI published in that paper.
The Augusta Netos stated that Mr.. Bartlett
represented no views but those which
sprang from his own narrow brain, and
that he was un worthy to occupy a place in
the Senate. In reply Mr.. Bartlett clarac-
terized the Augusta Net0s as venal, cor
rupt sheet. subsidized to voice the utter
ances of its master at 50 much per line.
Mr.. BARTLETT NDoRsED.
At the conclusion of Mr. Bar lett's speech,

proves the unwarranted attacks made by the
Augusta ECentn0 NefcS upon one OF the truest
and ablest members of this body and hereby
gives its testimony That the honorable memb
from the Twenty-second district, Charles L.
Bartlett, has at all times deported himself in
manner which assures his fellow members tnat
all his acts have been consistent with what he
conceived to be his duty, and in mis- opinion for
the best interest of the people.
Ad pied unanim jusly.

was introduced
Mr.. duBguon said that while he heartily
approved of everything in the resolution,
he considered it unneceSs iry. All that 1t
said was well known to the people Of Geor
gia. Since it had been Offered, however,
he hoped it would be unani nously adopted.
It was unanimously adopted.
THE ARBITRATION SCHEME.
Mr. Whitfeld's resolution for the appoint.
ment Of a board Of arbtrators TO pass upon
the claims of the leSSeeS of the Western
and Atlantic road was reported
favorably from the general jul
dietary committee. A minority report
was at the same time submitted, signed by
Messrs. Bartlett, Shannon, Wooten, Boyd
and Harris, of the Forty d. These |
senators opposed the passage of the rssolu-
ton, on the ground that nothing looking
toward treaty with the less ees on the |
subject of their betterments ella i'm should |
be encouraged, believing, as they do, that |
the ilessees are not entitled to one cent on |
that account
The Senate passed Mr.. Edwards resolu- |
ton to set apart rooms in the new capitol |
for museum of confederate relics and |
curiosities.
The substitute for the lease bill intro |
duced yesterday by Mr. HUMPHREYS of |
Scriven and Mr.. johnson of Campbell was |
read in the House today, and ordered |
printed. The bill attracted no attention, |
and is not regarded as of much importance |
THE OLD CAPITOL.
The bill authorizing the governor to |
advertise the old capitol for sale passed |
the House to-day. The minimum price is |
fixed at 1925, 900.
Mr.. Gordon introduced q resolution to- |
day requiring the lesser officials of the |
House, gallery keepers, dOorka epers and |
pages, to attend to their duties themselves. |
1t was stated that some of them had been |
farming out their offices by putting ire
sponsible persons in their places, and |
dividing the salary. Mr.. Gordon's resolu- |
tlon puts stop to this practice. |
