 heetlng Upon Them.

Atlanta. Aug. 20.--The inquiry into the convict lease system of Georgia has ended. The legislative committee which has been operating the probe, is now engaged in making up it's re- port. This will be submitted to a spe- ctal session of the Legislature called by Governor Smith to assemble Aug 25.
 The report of the Auditor engaged upon the books of the Prison Commits sion, the State farm and the State re- formatory, submitted today a verbal report to the committee. It showed that great laxity had prevailed in the matter of keeping the books. They were found to be in very bad shape. The Auditor believes, however the errors found were due to careless ness.
 The committee will proceed tomor- row to write it's report. taking up in regular order the eight sections of the resolution of the Legislature outlining its work and limiting it's scope
 Today the three members of the Prison Commission and the secretary of the Commission were given a final hearing They denied in vigorous lan- guage the testimony delivered by Joel Hurt on yesterday which reflected upon the Commission.

 If should see 1t to accept any of these invitations, while would certain iy try to speak in such a way as to help the Republican cause. yet feel that shall be at liberty to express my own views on important questions about which there probably will be more or less discussion during the pro- Eress of the campaign.
