CONFEDERATE home BILL,
The Atlanta Constitution Comes in
for Deaunciation - Resolutions of
Censure Introduced by Mr.. Wright
of Ef1ngham The Whole Matter
Tabled, However - Some of the
Speeches Absolute BillingsgAte-Sen-
ate Proceedings.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug 27.-The House was
rampant to-day-the House was indignant.
1t all grew out of the confederate home bill
aud the action taken yesterday. The
Constitution Of this morning had number
| OF references to the subject that we're con-
| sidered offensive toward those that voted
| against the bill. 1t is not often that such
| serious notice is taken of a newspapers
opinion. 1t began just after the House was
! calleI TO order
RESOLUTIONS OF CENsuRE.
Mr.. Wright of Eflagham offered the
following resolutions:
| WHEREAS, The Atlanta Constitution (ybose
| editor IN chief is the speaker OF this House, of
| this morning is reeking with the Nth OF the
slums against the majority of this legislature;
| therefore be it
| ResJiUed, That the said Constitutton receive
| the severest censure OF this body,
THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED.
Perhaps twenty speeches were made;
| some were for adopting the resolution,
| others were just as bitter against the Com
| StttuftoR, but favored a more general reso-
| luton; and still others thought that the
| House could only afford to ignore it all.
The Senate chamber was nearly deserted,
| as the members came over into the House
| The galleries were crowded.
TT WAS A RTDTc,IrI nrra ppOCrruvNo
The whole morning session was taken ND
| with buncoub speeches or replies to them.
| Most of these we're distinctly personal aud
| undignided. Quite number who opposed
| the resolution INDUCED in sophomore dis.
| plays of patriotism and self elf-approval. It
was the cheapest exhibition of
itself the Georgia legislature
to be extended beyond l O'Clock to reach a
vote on the motion TO table the resolution,
| all it's amendments and substitutes.
| The yeas and nays were called, and the
whole matter was tabled by a vote Of 80
| to 52.
Mr.. Fleming gave notice when the jour
nal was read that he would move TO recon-
slider the action Of the House on the confed-
crate home bill.
THE NIGHT sEs SION.
The House had night session this
evening.
Col. Cults of Sumpter. author OF the
confederate home bill, moved to reconsider
| the action OF yesterday on the bill.
The chair ruled that the session was had
| under a joint resolution for q specific pur-
pose-the reading of bills second time, and
that the motion would not be in order until
tomorrow morning, when 1T would
come up as unfinished business.
The House concurred in the Senate resolu-
tion authorizing the governor to appoint an
assistant attorney general.
BY unanimous consent one or two unim-
portant resolutions were introduced.
The House concurred in the Senate
amendments to the bill by Mr.. CALVIN of
Richmond TO incorporate the Seaboard and
Augusta Railroad Company.
Mr.. Wooten arose to
A QUESTION OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
There was hush OF expectancy, for this
has been day of such questions, and In the
general strained state Of feeling such an
nouncements are calculated to excite
apprehensions. Then there was a long
breath OF relief as Mr.. Wooten explained
that in one OF the afternoon papers it had
been announced that he would speak at an
Indignation meeting tonight, and that this
announcement was made without his know
| ledge.
Mr.. Boifeuillet of Bibb followed with an-
other question Of the Same nature. He was
announced as one of the speakers at the
Artesian Well tonight He did not author
lze such q statement, and it was made with
out his knowledge.
sAvANNAH's LOYAL WELCOME.
Just before the House adjourned at 81
| o'clock Mr.. Clifton made a cheerful talk
about the trip to Savannah. "There have
been some disagreements here to-day" he
put it mildly, "but whether you voted
with the 62 or "a you will be royalty well
