LEGISLATIVE CORRUPTION.
CAPT. OATTIs SPRINGS A SENSATION
WHERE WILL IT END-AN
INJURIOUS STAY LAW.

INJURIOUS STAY LAW.
ATLANTA, August 12.-There will
be some startling developments before
the General Assembly odjourns.
And the ball was started rolling
today. 1t will strike somewhere, and
when it does it will hit hard.
1t has been charged by certain par
ties in the state that several members
OF the General Assembly attempted
to sell, or offered to sell, their votes
in the senatorial race last fall.
And thereby hangs the tale.
Mr.. Oattis, OF Muscogee, came up
with privileged resolution this
morning, which read as follows:
Whereas, charges are being circu
lated over the state that during the
race for United States Senator at the
tall term of this General Assembly as
many as eight members of the Leg,
islature offered their votes, or suffered
their votes offered Tor sale; aud
Whereas, said report is o reflection
upon the General Assembly; there,
fore he it
Resolved by the House, the Senate
concurring, That committee o.
three from the House and two iron,
the Senate he appointed to Investigate
said charges.
Resolved further, That said com-
mittee be authorized TO send tor per,
sons and papers and administer oath,
to witnesses.
This Is the most sensational thing
which has come up at this session,
d there will probably be some in,
teresting developments before the
Legislature adjourns.
The members want the investiga.
ton, and demand it, and so passed
the resolution at once. 1t went i'm.
mediately to the Senate.
1t connot be learned who made the
charges, or who the offending mem,
bers are supposed to be.
However, all will come out at the
investigation which will soon follow.
THE STAY BILL.
AS has been expected, the stay bill
has been introd iced at last.
In spite of the fact that it is a war
measure, most radical and I'm,
jlst law, and that it is unconstitu-
tional, some of the people have said,
owe want it, and it has now been
formulated and introduced in Il e
House,
The bill was introduced by Mr..
Montgomery, of Taylor, at the re,
quest of his constituents, who, he
says, are unanimously in favor of it,
The title of the bill is:
GA bill to be entitled an act to sus.
pend the collection of all debts within
this state from the first of October
next until the first day of November,
1892"
What will be done with this bill &
not known. 1t goes before the gen
eral agriculture committee, most o.
whom are farmers and alliaucemen
the very class who want the measure
passed.
Mr.. Montgomery says he introduced
the measure at the request OF his con.
stituents, and he will support it in the
interest of the people.
Other members say it is unconsti-
tutiOnal, and could not be held as a
law if passed.

Frank Smith, a lad who lives on Macauley

In his own blood, and slated FOX drunkenness
last night. Along with him was Jack Fitzgerald
another dissolute citizen Of Willard street, who
was slated on a similar charge. Smith had q
very ugly wound IN his back, on the right side,
where he had been stabbed by some unknown
man while standing on the Willard street
bridge over Pogue's Both were
too drunk 10 give any account OF the affair, or
the one who did the stabbing. While Smiths
wound was being dressed Ivy DIR. carp. Joseph
Columbus. Swede timer. OF le8 South

station. with his hand over his stomach, and
wanted To see the doctor and claimed that he
had been stabbed on Willard street. On being
examined, DIR. carp discovered that he bad also
been cut, but not so dangerously as Smith. Ed
Thomas. II pastry cook at the Grand
Hotel, was passing over the bridge at
the time, bnt il was too dark

men were all drunk and iollifying on the Willard

A MEMBER of the editorial staff of the
Evansville Standard has completed a
careful examination of the Republican
situation in the First district, visiting
each county. talking to the leading men
and enGeavoriDg TO discover as far as
possible the drift of public opinion.
"The result" says the Standard, "makes
unmistakable the fact that the district
can be carried by Harrison and protec-
tion." Republicans everywhere warmly
indOrse the administration, and, while
there is a pronounced Blaine feeling in
some localities, all admit that If Presi-
dent Harrison is renominated he will
carry the full strength of the party. So
far as there is any Blaine movement in
that district, the Standard says, "it is
born of admiration for the Secretary,
not of unfriendliness for the President"
The Blaine feeling is much stronger in
some localities than in others, while in
some counties it does not exist ut all. In
other respects the party is more har-
monious and united than it has been for
some time past, and whether Harrison
or Blaine should be the standard bearer
next year the Republicans of the First
district will give an excellent account of
themselves

STATE PRESS on JUDGE WOODS.

INDIANA IS to be congratulated on the
appointment of Judge William A. Woods
TO the position OF United State Circuit
Judge by President Harrison.-South Bend
Tribune.
IT is gratifying to note that President
Harrison was not shaken By the clsmorous
ISLANDERS against Judge Woods. His ad-
vancement of that eminent jurist TO q
larger position is a just recognition of bis
great merit, and shows that the President
has the courage of his convictlons.-New
Albany Tribune.
THE appointment of Judge Woods Is one
that will be well received by the people of
Indiana. Judge Woods worked his way
from poverty to the acknowledged position
OF being one of the most able judges in In
diana. His decisions have been tempered
with equity. and judges and attorneys all
cOBcede that he is thoroughly conversant
with the law. able in expounding it. and
clear in his charges.-Muncie Times.
THE President has acted wisely in pro-
noting Judge Woods 10 position for which
he is eminently fitted. and the Republicans
of Indiana have reason to feel more elate d
than ever that they have President who
has the courage and the manliness to do
justice where justice is due, regardless of
the wicked and less elements that are
relentlessly opposed to judge Woods be-
cause he strangled one of their accursed
cOnspiracies.-Lafayet Courier.
NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Judge
Woods has been most bitterly and ma
lciously nssailed by the Democratic press,
yet the cold. inGisputable fact remains that
be is Judge of ripe and eminent learning
and of unimpeachable integrity of char
acter. His long experience as q jurlst, his
acknowledged scholarship. his great legal
knowledge and incorruptible integrity will
make him the peer of the most eminent
men on the bencb.-Kokomo Gazette Irib-
une.
