The committee obeyed nnd nearly a mouth of val uable time was purposely consumed by the railroad lawyers In quibbling over technicali ties and in discussing whether all discrim ination should bo prohibited , or only bueh as could bo shown to bo "unduo nnd unreason able. " They finally succeeded in emasculat ing the semite bill by adopting a clnuso legalizing discrimination ! ) in cer tain cases , mid all the work went for nothing , The house , meanwhile , had per fected , with grout care , House Kilo "JI73 , " to prohibit nil discrimination nnd extortion , and investing the railroad eommlssloneis with power to fix rates , and scat it to the senate. This bill , the senate , after vainly endeavor ing to amend r.nd strike out it * clauses the ralhoads objected to. was forced to pass , Tbiv. house followed up its good work by passing a maximum tarifT bill almost Identical with the rates that prevail in Illinois , and n two-cent faro bill ; also n lull providing for the elec tion of railroad commissioners by the people. This bill , which was demanded by both po litical parties , was agreed to by the senate , but neither the maximum tariff nor the 8- cent faro bill were considered by that body. When brought fai o to fto with the last named mcabi.ro , the scsnnte , after rotlnp by twrnty-two to uventy-flvo not to take it , per mitted itself to bo Rtaoiported by the railroad senators Into setting n dny for the final ( ad journment. anJ literally ran away from mini- orous good measure1' , anil iriuny private bills , leaving its v.-uils scarcely half Uono. The house , having nothing to do , niul with many members very nnxinus cither to get homo or to attend the anmml encampment of tint G. A. K. at Cedar ICupids , was persuaded that it would not bo proper to hold the senate by refusing tu concur in the resolution to ad journ , and force that body tfl consider tticso bills. So all the railroad legation tbnt was cr.nctud ilocs not necessarily reduce cither passenger or freight rnlci cno jvnny. The qucsiio-.i of passencer fairs will remain unchanged for two year * at least , nnd thn freight iirvbli-m must bo solved bj thuraUioadcomtr.isflcir.uri.

" The democrats have not yet named any can didates but Chairman Hunter of the Central committee who has long been employed by the "Q" may bo depended on to run in some niilioud democrats in duo time , on hoping to draw enough icmiullcan votes from railroad employes to pull them through. TUB r.utMnn SUNATOIIS , Strnngo to say , the railroad legislation in the senate was defeated by farmers. Five fanner senators--Drawer of Hancock , Kent of Lee , Payncer of Taina , Mills of Marshall , nnd Wclumnn of Montgomery deliberately jollied hands with railroad lawyers , like Wnalson , Halter and Cinrlt , to strangle the house bills. Of these , Mills and Wcidman , repicscnt strong anti-monopoly constituen cies , and it will bo interesting to note the excuse they will make for deliberately be traying their interests , To bo called a liberal 11 mi high-minded statesman , n rising man , by the corporation press seems to bo the height of ambition by some farmers who acciden tally become legislators. The railroad lobby ists murk such for n victim at once , nnd is seldom unsuccessful. A coon sacisunc TIHT FAILED. Among tha good measures that failed to become n law in the general hurry nnd scramble was the bill regulating the charges of sleeping cars m the state. The trust bill pulled through nt the very last mo ment The railroad attorneys assembled in force to witness the final scenes. They ox ] nressed themselves ns well pleased with the result , uud predicted that few of the antimonopoly - monopoly members would over again bo heard of in a legislative capacity. IIOK J. o. imituuiiu , . The good work of the house is duo In n great measure to the. matchless leadership of Hon. JnuicsG. Uerrj hill of this city. De clining the unanimous nomination for speaker , lie took his ix > siton ! on the lloor of the house as tbo acknowledged leader of the progressive element , nnd. with consummate eklfi nnd ability , thwarted every effort of the lobby to lead the members astray or prevent them from carrying out the pledges of the party. He vfua tliu uuthor of house file U73 , which went through without a single dissent ing vote , nnd in face of the bitter opposition Of the Register and otaer leading party j.apers. Ho also took n prominent part In Irafting the maximum tariff , and carried eignty-bix members with him In his eflort to give Iowa as good a rate ou Uual freights as prevail in Illinois Ah i ilu rmui. of the com mittee en appropriations , ho successfully ro-t sisted every elToit to raid the treasury , ill ( he interest of extrriYasant. and reckless appropriations , nnd managed to so reduce the expenditures that two years hence will sec the state entirely out of debt. Mr. Ucrry- hill belongs to the young and progressive cle ment of the republican party he is scarcely thlrty-flvo and is both hated nnd feared by corporation strikers nna boodlers of every description. His course in the legislature has atti acted the attention of the people of the state , and should ho so desire , ho could easily secure fuither political honors.Hex. Hex. MUSICAL AND DKAM/1.TIC.

The machine very mucli ref > c > inblcs a lady's sewing machine , and is worked in the same manner bV a jmilnl. The instrument is used in this wise : When one of the principal stone * grnphors concludes his lloor report ho goes to tliis machine , reads his report into a funnel connecting with the main cylinder , which is gulta porchacoated ; and revolvers while the point of a , nccdlo connecting with the tube front the funnel mouthpiccu rests against itj The cylinder envc-lops a screw which prevents the nocdlo tracing a firmer lino. When the stenographer finishes reading his report another operator attaches tubes to the cylinder , connecting with his oars.work the machine and the woruq of the stenographer arc repeated to him in the same tone of voice of the provU ous talker. The rapidity of the tullt can bo regulated and the operator can thus , with case , take down the exact words by the use of n typewriter or an ordinary pen. The machine is cor * tainly wonderful and enables a person with the assistance of a typewriter todd the work of two ordinary stenographers who first have to take llm report in shorthand and then translates it , Those guttn norcha cylinders , I nog * lectcd to mention above , can bo fatored away , and years after , if placed upon the machine , the Biuno words used to day n ill bo repented in the oxnct tone of the speaker of to-day. Thus bhould nnv record become destroyed these cylinders may bo resorted to. Another thing about thi.i machine 13 that a person hero can talk for an hour into one , mail the cylinder to Atlanta , , , , where by the usoof a machine the exact - act words here will bo repeated , thug saving the labor of writing long com munic.iticms.
