a STATE ROAD INQUIRY.
The zschry Resolution Adopted in a
Modified Form.


ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 16.-Ths Senate has
passed the Zachry solution, submitting the
state road lease claims TO a commission, but
so modified as TO be unacceptable. Several
OF its old friends voted against it with
reason, for in its final shape it came nearer
representing the minor sentiment than the
purpose Of its author. The commission
IS TO be merely an investigating
board, and even their field of inquiry
is jealousy limited. The Walker amead-
ment denying the commission the power to
pass final Judgment was agreed TO. 1t reads:
Strike out the words which say q Judgment
when rendered is to be binding and conclusive
upon both parties aad insert in lieu thereof
and report the T findings 20 the present general
assembly for final action"
ANOTHER AMENDMENT.
Mr.. O'NeaI, one Of the most prominent
opposers of the original resolution, then
maaaged to get through an amendment in
struct1ng the commission to consider all
claims according to the law and equity 'as
administered by the courts of this state"
and also TO tag on the following pointing
out what questions shall be considered:
!. What proportion of the taxes imposed by
the state OF Tennessee. and in the county OF
Hamilton and the city of Chattanooga, in the
state of Tennessee, upon the property of Georgia
IN that state should the state of Georgia pay?
for their use are such fixtures as, under the law
they could remove at the end Of the lease, and, if
the commission shall so f1ud. then the commits
sion shall find that the lesees shall be permitted
to remove them.
3. Whether the track scales in Chattanooga
Is a movable fixture, and If so whether the
IesSeeS have right to remove the scales.
d Whether the fencing placed upon the line
OF the road to enclose Il is a movable fixture,
and II SO the ieSseeS may remove It,
o. whether the stae owes any amount to
the leSsees for the amount paid by them to
complete the union passenger depot In Atlanta;
and 1t so, 10 what amount is the state indicted
to the lessees.
g. Whether the transfer hoist is a movable
fixture, and if so that the lessees may remove
the same
From the above it will be seen that the
powers OF the committee are rather more
restricted than would ba those of joint
committee under ordinary circumstances,
and that the final adjustment of the ques-
ton at issue remains, as before, in the hands
OF the legislature. This seems to insure
a summer session of at least the usual
length, unless an extra session in January
should result, a prediction freely ventured
at the capitol this afternoon. Many think
the lessees will not accept the commission
under the ne W conditions.

TwITrY's BILL TALKED DOWN.
The Lawyers stave of It's Passage fol
Day.

The Lawyers Stave of It's Passage for
Day.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 16.-The passage of
the Twitty bill. by nearly two-thirds vote
of the Senate, was this morning obviated
only by skillful filibustering. The bill came
up as the special order. As soon as 1t was
read amendments poured in by the whole
sale. Mr.. Beck opened the argument Then
the lawyers got the floor aud kept it till
within fifteen minutes of the usual hour of
adjournment, when test vote on a minor
point developed the strength of the farmers
and the other side fell back on their superior
knowledge OF parliamentary tactics. Ex-
plantations of any and everything we're
freely volunteered. and the ayes
and nays called on every
possible ,pretext, while speaker
most provoking elaboration the laborious
lists Of reasons for not doing what nobody
expected him to do.
FELL INTO THE TRAP
Time pressed and desperate efforts were
made to force vote, but the chair sus-
tanned the speakers till the farmers, losing
patience, began not only to indulge in
wordy protests, but themselves to explain,
thus playing inlo the hands of their adverse
ries. Finally Mr.. johnson of the Twenty
First district, with impurturbable gravity
and his weather eye riveted on the clerk,
began an apparently inexhaustible disserta-
ton on the necessity for early rising
in the dog days if one
would lay broad founda-
ton in favor of any after
noon session on the 10Th of December,
which somehow had gotten to be question
before the house. At 1855 o'clock his
harangue, though not highly interesting,
successfully exhausted the remaing few
moments, and the opposition, completely
ratified themselves, hailed the hour of adj
tournament with feeling of relief. The
alliance senator's predict the passage of the
bill unamended. except for the cheap
schedule of fees attached in the committee

course was decided on.

Mr. Flemi0g spoke of the evil influence OF
whisky among the students.
Mr.. Morton-Take the college away from
Athens 1t has Overshadowed the town
long enough.
Mr. Rsed-A member of the House, Mr..
Atkinson, has a petition signed By 500 ladies
Of Athens beseeching you to defeat this
bill.
q Mr.. Morton-Let 'em take care Of the
children.
Mr.. Reed had the floor, but Mr.. Morton
interrupted that he had four sons in AT ems
and he would not seek to place temptation
in their way
Mr.. Reed-I had letter from promi-
nsnt citizen of Athens. who addressed me
as one of the committee considering the
Dill, urging its defeat.
Mr. Morton was at Mr.. Reeds elbow,
though his seat is on the opposite side OF the
House. To the last assertion he said: "He s
Athens has fanatics like every other place."
Mr. Hsrtridge pointed out that students
would not be prevented from getting drunk,
but rather would be spurred on to do so by
prohibitive enactment.
TIE BILL DEFEATED.
The bill was defeated, aud before the re-
suit was announced. Mr.. Morton announced
IN front Of the speakers desk that if he
lived away from Athens be
would cut Oft his arm before he would
send his soEs 10 Athens. Later, as parting
shot, Mr.. Morton told the House that he
would carry his bill to Athens and pass it if
every negro in the county had to gn it.
Mr.. Morton's tactics throughout the con-
sideration of the matter were marked by
easy disregard of parliamentary procedure.
He told the Huse that he would talk,
order or no order, and he did. confessing
that he knew little Of the customs of the
House.
Among thirty odd bills passed tonight
was that extending the western limits of
Savannah, introduced by Mr.. Hartridge,
