Made Against the Railroads.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 25. -Commissioner
Stahlman Of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association. has again incurred
the protest Of Atlanta shippers on account
of his alleged discrimination in freight
rates. This afternoon meeting of repre-

freight rates against the city Of Atlanta.

TO receive no through freight over the
Atlanta and Florida road because ii was
learned that that road had made lower
rate on a certain shipment of cotton than
is in force in the association. The Atlanta

OF Atlanta, aud the order of the commits
sioner effects the merchants OF this CITY con-
sidersbly. The railroad commission will be

Him Into IT. ubIe.
BARNwELL, 5. c., Nov. 25.-Fo- some
months past the people here have been a. x
iously awaiting the developments in the
case If the 5 ate vs.. T. W. Ezzard of Geor-
gis, which has been pending in the cour, of
this county. As will be remembered, some
time ago. extradition papers were issued in
this STATE against T. w. Ezzard, a real es-
tate agent. aad T. r. Perry, Il prominent
attorney Of South Georgia, by the heirs of
Lewis Hill, deceased. charging them with
grave offenses committed in this state with
reference to the sale of certain lands in
South Georgia to Judge d. II. Pope, for
the Hill heirs.
Ezzard was arrested in Atlanta, Ga, and
brought here where he has been confined in
jail ever since IN default Of 81, 500 bail.
Perry came over voluntarily as soon as he
heard of the proceedings and
by his receipts and letters from Ezzard
10 him, showed clearly 10 Col. W. P. Muir
ply, the states attorney, and o Messrs. Gle n
q Maddox aud Bates q summons, attorneys
for the Hill heirs. that he acted al Ezzard's
agent in the sale of the lands aud that be
paid the money over to Ezzard and fully
accounted to him for all his acts in the
matter, aud consequently the case as TO
Perry was promptly dismissed, but the
charges against Ezzard grew in number
until three true bills" were found upon
indictments against him.
He was tried Wednesday upon a charge
Of breach of trust with fraudulent intention
and grand larceny, and was found guilty,
Notwithstanding the efforts OF that able
lawyer, Col Robert AldTich. in his behalf
Argument was heard on a motion to
QUASI the two other indictments, but Judge
Hudson refused the motion. y motion was
then made for a new trial in the case that a
verdict of guilty had been returned. This
was also refused.
Col. Aldrich then moved that he be ad-
mitted to bail pending an appeal, notice Of
which had been given, and stated that IL
would be impossible for Ezzsrd to furnish
bail in a larger sum than 500, and urged
that the court admit MIN to bail in that
sum. The court held that it would grant
bail in the case in which there had not been
conviction, placing 1t at 3 800 aud $500
each In the otner Two cases; making 81, 800
In all. Inc two other cases had been con-
tiuued pending the appeal. Col. I. r. Perry
has been here in attendance upon court
and has been used by the
state as witness, aud freely
gave full statement OF the whole transac-
ton, and while here conducted himself in a
mannerly way, thereby winning many
friends from the ranks Of those who few
weeks ago thought him unworthy of their
confidence.
Ezzard is still in Jail here. Nearly all Of
the citizens here and the officers of the court
sincerely sympathize with him and regret
that he has allowed himself t. be brought
into this unfortunate affair.
In the case now under appeal he has been
sentenced TO fifteen months in the state
penitentiary at hard labor.

CRISP IN THE GALLERY,
BE WAS QUO. LIZ INVITED TO A
SEAT ON THE FLOOR.

Then a General HandshaSing Fol-
lowed-Becon's Bill Defining the
Right to Vote Stock in Railroad Com
panies Passes the House-Two Other
Railroad Bills Also Passed the House.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 25.-Hon. Charles
r. Crisp. speaker Of the national House of
Represen atives. was the distinguished guest
Of the Georgia House for a short while this
morning. Judge Crisp first entered the
gallery. He was at once noticed and a
committee of three appointed 10 escort him
70 the floor.
As Speaker Crisp appeared on the floor hs
was greeted with applause. and Immediately
after he took a seat in the speakers stand.
On motion the House took a ten minutes
recess in his honor. during which the mem
bers gathered around the distinguished gem
tieman and INDUCED in cordial hand
shaking.
To-day was railroad day in the House.
Among a number of important railroad
bills passed was that known as
the Bacon bill, which is TO
define the right and power to hold and vote
shares in the capital stock railroad COM
panIes by trustees and other representa-
tives, and by persons holding such shares
joiatly or in common. and by corporations;
20 prescribe oaths for persons Offering TO
vote shares as aforesaid, and to fix the pen
atty for false swearing in the same. and for
other purposes.
TWO OTHER RAILROAD BILLS PASSED.
Two other railroad bills by Mr.. Hodges of
Bib were passed as follows:
To authorize suits TO be brought against
the receivers of any property appointed by
any court in this state, and to define the
liability of receivers OF railroads
for torts committed by their employees
during such time as such
in this state and to prescribe the manner:of
service upon such receivers in suits brought
against them.
The railroad committee reported unfsvor-
ably on the bill requiring railways TO fur
nish separate cars for the races, and the bill
giving railroad commissioners the right TO
say when one railroad company shall &C
ouire the property of another was recon-
mended.
The tendency Of the present legislature is
TO tie the railroads 10 numerically tight.
Just what cause there is for this sentiment
is not certain, but many Of the legislators
attribute the demorRlized condition Of the
railroad interests of the state to tax rail-
road laws, and in order TO correct this evil
it seems they are inclined to go to the ex-
treme in an opposite direction.
: Mr.. Guerard of Chatham to-day intro
duced his bill to amend the act of Feb. 81,
1873, creating board Of county commits
sioners for Chatham county.
The bill of Mr. Ham of Hall providing
for the prompt payment Of teachers in the
public schools was passed. which will be
welcome news in every corner in the state.
The Senate, during short session, passed
a somewhat lengthy resolution calling upon
Georgia's senators and representatives to
secure the passage Of the Hatch" bill
or some similar measure having a tendency
TO destroy the evil of dealing in futures.
