The meeting was well attended, and there was a large crowd present from North east Georgia. The Convention was organized by electing Col. Hillnps President, and Messrs. Cobb and Randall Secretaries. On mo tion of Col. Mitchell a Committee of sisting of Messrs. Mitchell, King, Wright. Jones, Dupree and Phinizy, was appointed to prepare business for the Convention. The Committeo reported resolutions favoriug the extension of the Georgia Railroad from Ath ens to Clayton and requesting the peoplo along the line from Athens to Augnsta to aid the work; which wore adopted.

We submit tnat this is unkiud to our Democratic friends. Tim "nigger” is no longer available ; the great debt and tbe necessarily heavy taxation are their only capital, and by all their rnlos of logio this debt ahoald bo rapidly increasing. But tho President has so Improved the collec tion of revenue, and ko dcoreaaed current ex penses, that everything goes wrong; tho vast debt created by Domocratio Rebellion, and fostered as far as possible by Democratic knavery, is rapidly diminishing. If things aro to go ou iu this way, wbut on ouith will the World do for eomothiug to howl about? Fifty-seven millions wiped ORl in se ven months, with tho best poasiblo disposition to keep doing so! Thu World charges the late tornado in Wall street to tbe Republican party, and iu its vague generalization shows (or tries to) that we arc all going to everlast ing smash because of the election of Grant. Now if Grant keeps up this reduction of eight millions a month for his four years, ho will show a duaroaso of throo hundred aud eighty- four millions, and bring tho rato of taxation down by fifty pci eont.

Will our good neighbor, tho Constitution, please tako a searching look at tbo above and give us another loatuod lecture ou tho beauties o' modkbn Democracy? Important Derision. False Alarm. The Savannah Republican is alarmed at what it considers a "prospective coalition” between certain Democrats and Republicans upon the basis of the XVtU amendment, tears the "Democracy" is preparing to surren der its last hobby, aud tlmt consequently, the colured members will be restored, and tbo proposed Constitutional Amendment adopted by the next Legislature. We presume the Legislature will rostore tho colored members to their political rights un der the Stato Constitution; but will tho moeracy" voto to enforce tho XIVth Article'; If so, well; if not wo npprehond that the fears of tho Republican arc wholly groundless. There may be a coalition effected upon the basis of tho XVt’i Amendment; but unless it goes fur ther and tu-rforms to tho reconstruction Jaws of Congress it will »* nply amount to nothing. That is to say, when Democrats nreept th© Republican policy of reconstruction, and manifest an honest purposo to comply with the Law a successful "coalition" will be in the range of probability—not before, other words, Democracy must abandon its dogmas, its foolhardy editors, aud como to tho Republican platform. This they on and retain their old worn out party name if they choose, as names aro simply matters of ta«do. Wo would, however, advisi that they dispense with that also, and thn com. iu with clean bauds!

A a important decision, recently road ©rod by tho Supreme Court of Louisiana iu relation to tho construction of tho fourteenth amend ment to tho Federal Constitution, has been ived here by the Attorney General. Tho waa that of the State in the relate Aturin against Garriqno, and the decision of tho Supremo Court is ihat when one has taken |oath of oftico bofore the war to support the [Constituturn of the Unitod States, and during the war hold au office in a Stato in rebellion, which required him to take an oath to support tbo Confederate States, such a person connot bo said to have engaged in insurrection auil rebellion Against the United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof in the meaning of section throo of tho fourteenth amendment. This decision will be found very important, and of large scope in reduc ing and limiting disfranchising clauses of the Constitution anil acts of Congress. We clip the nbove from a Washington letter to tho Augusta (Go.) Tress. It covers very important ground, aud should bo considered with attention. When will the National Debt be Paid Of all the heavy blows which Republican orators, financiers, and statesmen havo dealt to the despondent Democratic suggestion of repudiation, none are so effective as the late official ostiuiAtes, by officors high in the favor of the Administration and equally high in the confidence of tho people, os to the exact way aud time in which the uatiouul debt, principal and interest, will be paid. When wo learn from nil authority like Commissioner Delano that tlio revenue receipts for a siugle quarter, under President Grunt, exceed by ten millions those of the same period under his predeces sor, wo know on what facts and figures these welcome prospects of paying the national debt aro based. Tho letter ot Commissioner Wells to Mr. Dudley, our Consul at Liverpool, tallies with tho recent speech of Mr. Delano, os to tho in creased surplus of revenue which Presidgat Grant's administration will coitainly briugus. Mr. Wells assures us, to begin with, tliut the surplus revenue for tho fiscal year ending Jnue 30, 18G9, (comprising but four months of General Grant’s administration,) was at least $48,000,000 ; i. c., receipts, $371,000,000 ; i penditures, $323,000,000. The average annual increase of elasticity the revenue from tho growth of the country is fully $15,000,000; while, adds Mr. Wells, "the gain from the rigid system of economy inau gurated by tho present Administration, and from a more faithful collection of taxes, will undoubtedly equal, aud probably exceed, $30,000,000.” Taking tho last years's basis of $48,000,000 to guide us, wo may expect, therefore, with this addition of $-15,000,000 a year, a surplus next Juuo of $93,000,000. But, in reality, tho surplus of last year was reduced by a payment ot $18,000,000 on extra bounties auil oue of $7,500,000 gold ($9,500, 000 curroncy) for Alaska. These sums vee shall gain each year hereafter; and, adding thorn t j our account, wo get a total of $120,- 000,000, ou tho Commissioners’ estimates, our probable surplus revenue for tho current fiscal year. How shall this grand surplus ho applied?] From tho first we havo argued that, for tho present, a fixed annual amount of $50,000,000 should bo devoted to reducing tho national debt, nnd all tho rest should go to reducing thu taxes. Wo havo little doubt that thiH policy will in time prevail. Mr. Delauo hat said that with continued frugality and faith ful collection of tho revenue, so as to make it yield, us at present, a minimum surplus of $100,000,000 overall expenditures, to be ap plied to tho national debt, tho latter will be reduced in oight years to $1,200,000,000. Mr. Wells tells us that nn annual investment of this same surplus sum of $100,000,000 at six percent., in a sinking fund, will extinguish tho entire principal of our debt in less than fifteen years. But suppose that wo take simply the surplus revenue of $50,000,000, which was found to be annually collectable under tho Johnson Administration, and ap ply this regularly to tho reduction ■ the debt ; suppose, also, that, taking tho gain under the present Adminis tration purely from economy of expense anil the more faithful collection of taxes—a probable amount of $30,000,000, according to Mr. Wells—wo reduce by this amount tho taxes, how then shall wo como out? Mr. Wells answers us specifically. The annual in vestment, he tells us, of $50,0(H),000 at six per cent., in a sinking fund, will extinguish tho national debt iu twenty-threo years, ns thu investment of $100,000,000 would extinguish it in less than fit teen yet rs ; "mid between these periods,” ho adds, "you have, in ray opinion, the exact time whou tho present pub lic debt of tbo United States will bo extin- guished.l In other words, at our present rato of taxa tion, thn debt will bo wiped out in fifteen years, while, oven at a much reduced rato of taxation, it can be wiped out in twenty-three years. So much fur the policy of frugality and fidelity as opposed to that of rocklossness, repudiation and ruin.—AT. Y. Times. Virginia. General Oanby yesterday issm-d an order to this effect : " Upon the election of a Clerk of the Senate and a Clerk of tho House of Dele gates of the General Assembly of tho Stato of Virginia, the duties devolved upon the Secre tary of tho Commonwealth, by paragraph three ot general orders No. 58, of May, 1869, will cease, and tho records and other proporty pertaining to Ins offie.* will be transferred to the custody of thu clerks who may be elected by the respective houses of the General As sembly.’’ Tins order indicates that tho Legislature must orgftnizu permanently by tho election ol elerks and other officers.
