He deemed it simple justice to make these statements. Mr. RUSSELL said lhat he had the sup plemental report ready but did not think it proper to make It in tne senate until it bad been made in tbe house. Tbe statement that he had ever intended or signified that he would sign the paper was false.

The question was put on the amendment providing that the act shall not apply to eases in courts and shall not operate until after the passage of the act Passed. The amendment that the four years llui- itation begins to run from time- deed is rer corded and not from time of purchase passed.

The minority report favorable to the pas sage of the bill was then put and adopted. On tho passage of the. bill the yeas and nays were called. The yeaswere 18 and the nays 15.

Mr. DAVIS of Baker made the follow ing supplementary report from the commit tee to investigate wild land frauds The undersigned committee appointed under the jesoluttoa approved on th Utb of December to Imvestfgate the trfld land tale in thii state beg leave" tf ahmlt fte fonowtng supplemental re port On the iiutant ire sabmltteed our reports to- geth witli the evidence taken br In the mat ter submitted tous for lnvcsdx tlon. In the ma jority report We set forth freely all the ctoaclnslons at which we had arrived from the testimony taken and all the member of the committee con cur substantially In all these conclusions except three to 1. The legality of the transfer of the transferees. 2.

The power of the general to make the transfer and 3. The validity of sales under transfer fi. fas. and the power of the general assembly to declare said sales void. One member of the committee ilr.

Candler not concurring In the majority submitted a mi nority report covering these three points. Since the submission of these reports matters of the gravest character came to the knowledge of tut committee. Of these matters we deemed it our duty both to ourselves and the state to take cognizance and report to the general assem bly. These matters were attempts made by Blnton P. Wright to Induce by bribery two members our committee to lion.

P. D. Davla anc lion. Lewis Strickland to assign a paper prepared by the comptroller This paper had for Its object the acknowledgement by the members of the committee that certain things had been omitted in the report which ought have gone into it and lhat certain other things embrace In the report wu couched In language differen from that in which a majority of the committee had agreed should be employed thus doing the tely upon the knowledge of this at tempt at bribery coming to the other members the committee a meetJig was had and all the facts In the matter so far as possible was trough out We examined under oath Messrs. Dirts an Strickland of the committee and Mr.

H. Wright and the general. V. L. Qold Bmita and herewith snbmittheir testimony.

The evidence shows that air. Wright did ipproacl the two members of the committee named and present the above mentioned paper and try to to Induce them by an offer of money to assign it lie and Mr. Goldsmith both swear positively however that he did it withou the consent of Mr. Goldsmith Mr Wright iwears that he. got the paper from Mr GoldDilta for the purpoee of securing the dgaa ture of members of the committee.

While some of ut do not regard the contents of the paper il self as of any great Importance either to Mr. Gold smith or members of the committee or as affect ing the substantial results of our investigation we do regard the means attempted to be used to secure the signatures of members of the commit tee to It as an offense of such gravity crime so atrocious that we cannot pass by with a mere notice. We therefore recom mend that the bouse of representatives prefer ar delesof impeachment agtlasi L. Goldarnith general for high crime and misde meanors in order that the mtjesty of the law mav be vindicated and ample Justice meted ou to the official of the state involved in the trans action. We aUo recommend that the general auembl take such action In the matter of the offense of Ulnion I Wright as the law and common usages demand.

ROBEKT A. ALSTON of DeKalb and Hon. J. Y. JAMISON of Towns.

An easel bearing a striking likeness of the former was then placed before the desk of the speaker remained in full view of the house and galleries during the ser vices. Mr. MYNATT of Fulton arose and pre sented the following resolutions from the special committee to draft the mernoriarez- pressions. Mr. Speaker Since tha session of this legisla ture terminating in December last.

It bas pleased the Wise in His providence to take hence two of our members. The lion. R. A Alston oi DeKalb and the Hon. 8.

Y. Jamison of Towns are no The fanner was cut oftii the prime ol life and in the strength and vigor of mature man hood. The latter had reached his declining yean and when he met with us last it was mani fest from his feeble health that the silver cord was loosed and that life's fitful lever was fast subsiding. His appearance was a sad warning of the fate await- iug us an tariuij Buirounaiags seemea 01 uiuc moment to him as be sat listlessly awaiting his summons. The former stood forth In his strength eager and able tor any contest in life's great arena.

To meet and vanquish the foes of his plans oud purposes seemed his peculiar adapta bility apd to the observer there was nothing to indicate iat the golden bowl should soon be broken. Nor did he seem to con template an end to these strifes but to pass blithely from one to another as a matter of course and In endless succession. But how deceptive 1 Dim ralulature of greatness absolute An heir of glory a frail child of dust Sleepless Immortal iuKct infinite A worm a god At the time of our adjournment it would have been difficult to present human life In stronger contrast than la the persons of the lamented dead. Yet they were both ouly as a flower the field the wind ed over" them and they are gone. The bared sinewy arm held proudly and defiantly aloft iu the whirl of life's contentions and the decayed unnerved limbs fall alike into the grave.

No strength can resist death no' device can avert his coming. With equal snd impartial sovereignty he reigns lu palaces legislative halls and hovels. We can but bow In humble submission to Illm whose will must be done. To the memory of the deceased we would fain make some fitting tribute. To cherish that mem- 01 boot only a duty but a privileged recognl non of mental honors and a gleam of recollections sweet to cherish bat sadly receding with all the past.

Be it therefore Resolved That It Is with the most profound sorrow we note the deaths of Hon. K. A. Alston and the lion. 8.

Y. Jamison late members of the bouse the one from the county of DeKalb and the otner irom tne county of Towns. Eesolved That In their deaths the state has lost the services of the most able and reliable leg islators and most striking JnodcU of upright and worthy citizenship. Beaolved That these proceedings be entered on the Journal of this house andacopythereo be transmitted to the respective families of the deceased. Resolved.

That In respect to the memory of the deceased this house do adjourn until Monday next. Mr. MYNATT Mr. Speaker It is with a keen sense of the logs to this house and to the state ns well that your committee re port these resolutions I had not the pleas ure of. acquaintance with tbe dcceasec member from Towns.

My only knowledge of him was from having seed him on the floor of tbe house during one or our last session I cannot therefore speak as to him. Bat I had the honor of baring known long and well the deceased member from ueorgu uaa no more valuable member in her legislative councils no one who felt more deeply the responsibility upon him oo one who took a more active inter est in her welfare CuL Alston was lh every sense of the word a patriot. His time his energies liis life indeed were his coun asvv He participated in the agri- tural progress of the state both as a citi- sen and as a legislator. On this floor he was ardent in bis advocacy of all that tejids to forward the fannerscauseand to lelieve him of his burdens. He wisely treated the agri cultural as the groundwork of all the su perstructures of the arts sciences and pro fessions lib disposition was to protect this branch of industry against the burdens ol taxation and to extend to it every fettering ctre within the pover of the kgUhtOre.

His able efforts in the dilution of retrench ajent and reform were prompted chiefly by desire to relieve the taxed farmer. Colon Alston was generous charitable and benevolent. Phiaaophers have pver questioned the tjistence of disinterested tencvolence but th ft wu a part of th composition of R. A. Alston those who knew hint and obserred him inosLjJare known.

The accumulations with whiph God blessed his toils were for' the poor and needy sometimes even regardless otWs own wants. Cussed is he that oniidertth the poor.

SMITH of Oglelhorpegald 7 Mr. Speaker iu accordance with a time honored usare growing out of the ties of friend ship and hurtsnity. we are called upon to adopt resolutions of respectto the memon of two deceased members of this house. need not say to you that the resolutions are beautiful eloquent and expressive. It has been bat a short time since two de ceased members were worthy representatives of the people upon this floor.

rThe one af te having spent A- long and useful an nonoraDie me none me less so for having been far removed from crowd ed cities and Jifea busy thoroughfares now lies buried In his mountain home where he spent his youth his manhood and his ol age in honorable pnrsuiU. and whose moun tain tops kissing the skies doubtless in spired him with the lofty sentiments tha characterized hb life. Hia eyes are BOW closed upon this earth forever The youngtr member whose death we are called upon to commemorate was pleas antly and agreeably known to us all. He was emphatically anus pars quorum. Hia life was' fall of vicissitudes expe riences and romance yet it had hardly be gan.

To those who knew him best imag ination pictured for him new honors an victories-as he traveled down the stream time. Take him all in all his like shal not be seen again. Death Is sad always. I la sad under all circumstances bu saddest of all when it cats down one of oa citizens in the prime of his manhood. Da death is the unalterable and Irretrievabl nd of all our labors wealth ambition an Bright hopes and the grave awaits as all Hr.

PAINE of Chatham Mr. Speaker I asked to be allowed to oner a simple tr.b- ute to the memory of my friend Colone Alston.

I can see hU handsome face nowoshe would lead in boyish sports. wasnever quarrelsome never ruue alwa natured and ever ready to oblige.

recollect ou one occasion when he was pla ing with sjme boys who seemed li dined to quarrel with him hearln him remark I know that I am right but I will not quarrel fora niarbl and I will not play with boys wh are mean enough to cheat and rude cnoug to fight and the little fellow left them and came and sat by me and asked if was not right Just as the twig was bent The tree inclined Robert Alston was not a coward bu from early boyhood he had a dislike a antipathy to quarrels and fights and ye sir Le fel iu onel How strange is life How inconsistent to man He had his faults and whosiramon us have not our faults. Man is as pron to error aa sparks fly upwards lint wit airbis faults Robert Alston's heart was i the right place when hu balance heet is made up by the angel whose duty it is. to record the goo and evil done by men it wi be found that his good deeds outnumbere liu evil ones and that the good has blottet out the bad forever and that our friend entitled to his pasport to the better lanx Our colleague has gone from among us seat In thia hall is rilled by another Who sir thought when we parted a few months ago that he young robust and healthy would be selected to precede ns in th march to eternity It is but one more i lustration of the uncertainty of life ani should admonbli us all to be ready fo death.

I had the honor and pleas ureofsmiox with Col. Jamljon In the sen of Georgia during the years of 1859 and 00 He was a toned gentleman a true am useful legislator. He seemed always I have the interest of hb constituents i heart and also the interest of the state.

COOKof Pikesaid Mr. Speaker I rise to throw a flower upo the bier of our departed friend Col Bober AAlston Whenever our eyes are turne to the seat h4 so lately occupied we ml bis genial face which indicated so clear the generous impulses of hb noble hear In his owe the face was the index of th heart and the eyes the windows of his son There was a frankness and candor abou Colonel Alston that never failed to attrac the praise of foe and friends. He was man of decided convictions and on a questions of public interest hU positions were quickly taken and manfully main taineu. Under any circumstances the loss of such a man would be a public calamlt but the sadden manner of hb taking off i the midst of the work of hUVmanhooc makes it peculiarly sad. Upon his bro every god seemed to hare set his seal to give the world asauiance of a manI in hb death the state- has lost one of her noblestand mos patriotic men and this house has been oe- prived of a member whose career as a legis latorgave promise of a brilliant future.

But he has gone from our midtt Let memory be enshrined inourhearU anc though to-day we do not propose to eree any monument to hb memory yet- th tears we shed tarnlnp to crystal diamond as they fall will constitute amonumen more precious tnan marble and more endu ring tfean the pyramids Mr. REDWiNE of Hall said Mr. speaker I should do violence to feelings if I failed to say something i memory of our deceased colleagues feu ti vat ed most friendly relations with those gentlemen for several years. Memorial ser vices are always aoleun hat on this oc casion it strikes me these sertices are peculiarly so. It would seem sir tha nature as if in sympathy wit tbe sad hearts cut iearfa eyes of this assembly.

Speaker I have nothing prepared for this occasion and what I say will be wholly1 spontaneous Idesireaa a personal mat ter to indnlge in these-services.

There was such geniality abouthim he was SQ inti mate bis friendship aud here was such a magic about tbe man that ray heart wen out to him in rpite of myselL was his warm friend and be pever showed his friendship for me In mere words bat by the actual performance of every favor ever asked him to do. Tbe new of his Jeath was great as a shock to in aa would be the news of the death of any mai with whom I was not personalty related has been ny misfortune within a few years pasU to lose my own son a noble hearted youth and his death almost tore asunder my very strings and yet sir towards thb gentleman this honors man I felt as strong. ties as any genuemao 10 wnom i was no related by consanguinity. He possessed those intellectual powers ahd moral qua Ueann happy social traits which torn mind distinguished him above commo men. And sir what tied me stronger to hint than any thing else was a little inciden told wo by a friend that the affection ei isting between him.

No higher corofliment pa be paid to a nra on earth than that he found his lilghes happiness at homo around hU own heart stone. Sir I could extend these remark but useless. We have lost from lh house one of the most valuable men iu tb state of Georgia one of tbe best workers ever saw iu my life. Hb aims wer right and hb hands ready to what hisheart and inind conceive It is our loss and a great loss it is.

Merfo my age will soon pass the goal but he was in the bloom of manhood. Yet hb services and connection with this genera tion had be survived. woul have been exceedingly valuable and tbei loss will be. felt. I saypeace to bia asDea and God blesa hb family.
