The OLD BONDS TO Be PAID
The House Refuses TO 90 Back on its
Vote TO That Effect.

Messrs. Gambler and Fleming Speak
in Favor of Payment of Both Princf-
pal and Interest-Night Sessions to
be Held Next Week-Two Reports on
the Question of a Uniform System Of
School Books.
Atlanta, Ca, Dec. Another thres
hours debate on the question of paying the
Hayes and Scott bonds with interest
since maturity took place in the House
to-day. Upon a motion to reconsider the
action of the House Wednesday, when
the bill paying the bonds without interest
was passed, the House refused to 20 back
on the position and the bill as passed
Wednesday stands.
Mr.. Rus1in, of Gordon made the mo-
tion TO reconsider. In supporting it he
said he was opposed to the payment of
the bonds as well as the interest He
thought if the state owed the bonds, it
ought to pay them and pay the interest,
but he did not think the state of Georgia
owed either principal or interest.
Mr.. Smith, of Gwinnett, urged that the
bill be reconsidered.
GAMBLER WANTED BOTH PAID.
Mr.. Gambler, of DeKalb, spoke at
length on the merits of the bill. He
thought the state owed the money aud
that they did right in passing the bill,
though he thought the House ought to
have agreed to pay both principal and
interest
Mr.. Fleming, Of Richmond, in explain
ing his vote, said "Ee was in favor Of
paying the interest as well as the prin-
cipal. The refusal to pay the in
terest was not sound, either in law
or morals. The supreme court decisions
to the effect that interest can not
be adjusted against a sovereign has no
application here. II applies to a suit in
court, Dut not when the creditor comes
directly in the presence of the sovereign
itself
On the motion to reconsider, the vote
stood 80 yeas to II nays. So the motion
was lost,
