Ae a qaeetiea very aimllar to that diaeuaaed by Mr. O'Oonor haa been raiaed in reference to pending amendment* to the Oonetitution of Geor gia proponed by the Legialature, we have read Mr. O'Conor’a opinion with aom* care. The eouatltntion ef New Yolk provide* a mode for the amendment of the inetru- meot exactly like that provided by tha oonetitution of Georgia, i. e. concurrent raaolntion* of two auoceaeive legialative bodiM, and a final approval by the peo ple. But the New York Legialatnre of 1878 propoeed one Mt of amendment*, and the Legialature of 1874 modified them by atriking out aom* proportion. i and the amendment* were eubmittod to the popular vote aa propoeed by the laat LegUdtfar*. In Georgia, aa our reader* are aware, one Legialature ba* already propoeed for tha popular vote a eerie* of amendment* to the State conatitntion,and it ia now found that the amendment in referenne lo the Stale bond* pronounced “bogua" iaaot aa f nil m wm intended—doM not embrace all the bond* dMfgned to be embreoed; and tha question ariaea, oau the Leglelafure ebortly about to meet amend the propoeed amendment* by am- plifying the one named? Mr. O’Conor maintain* that the foot that the two Leg- ialatura* of New York paaaed proposed amendment* aomewbat different in their detail*, doee not invalidate them after their ratification by the popular vote. The paaaage of the amend ment* by the first Legialature waa merely diaigned aa a notification to the people of wbat waa propoaed, *o aa to give them warning, and it ia the action of the aeoond Legia- lature which more nearly refleoto the pop ular will upon the matter. He hold*, however, that the aeveral proposition* eubmittod ahould be distinct, bo that a fair exprearion of the popular voice upon each can be obtained. A punctilious ob- servanoe of forme, be aaye, can never be inalated on nnlam they are prescribed in the law governing the oeae. It thua ap pear* that in the opinloo of this able law yer the omiuian by the second Legislature of some amendment* propoaed by the first doM not ao alter the proposition aa to require atill another legialative passage. The quMtion which then remains ia whether an addition to the amendments by the second Legislature (as is propoaed in Georgia) would require action by a third Legllaatar*. Mr. O'Conor aeei be of the opinion that it would not. This opinion of Mr. O'Copor ia inter esting In view ef another application. It is stated that Mr. Poland, of the Con gressional inveetigating committee, will report that the new constitution of Ar kansas ia a nullity, and the new State Government eleoted under it la illegal, because the forma prescribed for amend ing the late constitution were not fol lowed. It prescribed that amendments ahould be made by their successive pea sage by two Legislatures and subsequent ratification by the people. But the laat Legislature eubmittod to the people the quMtion of calling a State Convention, the people voted for and eleoted delegates to it, and this Convention ' proposed amendments which tha people ratified.

Jfr^ MdumrdBrandon, Chairman, da., Data Sib—I have jaat received -poor communication of the llth that., together with copy of letter* of John Jonas, treas urer, end of yourself. Yea call my attaa- tioa especially to the feet that payment of interest is refused on bonds of the State of Georgia, taausd under the act of De cember 15, lH7D, No*. 788, 845, 948 and 1,619, each for on* thousand dollars, and, after stating in snbstanos that these bonds The aupreme power at every point of time realties in that portion of the people who by tha then existing fundamental law possess the elective tranohta*. They constitute in politico-legal terminology the People: they are the State. Written constitutions differ essentially from ordi nary aud temporary law* in thi* only, it, that the latter are enaoted by a represen tative agency of limited powers, while the former emanate from the People themselves in tb* excrete* of their origi nal and porsonal right M individual mam. bars of that polities! god social unit, the state. When enacting a Constitution they are rroponaibls to their own oonaciencm only, and are subjeot to no limitation or rmtraint from any human institution, or from anything ooming within the notion of law save and exoept only anoh as may be imposed by the term* or import of the Federal Union. It follows M a neosMary consequence that wheuever they see fit the people of a State can altar their writ ten Constitution. The power of the whole body so to do by the voioe of a simple majority ia inherent, and in- oapeble of being natreined by law. They cannot meet in one plaee, or pro ceed without organisation; aad this forms the only impediment te their action under thi* pre-eminent power at any instant. The rMtraiot named te not imposed by law; but, arising from the nature of the thing, it exists iu fact. To meat the noosaeity of organisation, an authority to convoke the people for the purpoM of making changes in their fun damental law, or considering proposal* te that end, must exist in some official de partment. Otherwte* the principal power could not be said lo exist. It would be annulled by its own impracticability. It would be a still-born product of the vain imagination in whioh it wm conoeived. This authority to oouvoke the people vmIb by necessary implication in that of. flclal body or department to whioh the existing constitution sextans ths general duty of declaring the will of the State. Hence the oonoluslon that a new funda mental law, or aa amendment of that in existence, will beMtabllshed whenever, ou a fair and orderly submission to the people by the Legislature, a majority shall approve it. And thi* rasult may be TMohed without the obMrvane* ol any other form or ceremony whatever. A written constitution cannot effectually for bid the subversion of its provision*, or in any way divest tb* people of power to modify their institutions in a peopoeful and legal aray. Thi Bom* Commercial says that “Hon. Joshua B. HiU, who has been confirmed U. B. Marshal for on* of the North Caro lina districts, is the gentleman ef that asm* who wm Senator from Georgia just after Ih* war.” But thia must be a mis take, m our Joshua Hill of Georgia bM no B in his name, and is moreover a gen tleman of ao much wealth as to make offioe-holding only desirable to him oa aooouut of Its supposed honor. Wiuj waiting tor Justice *1 us take to Charity. She at least should have no delays. but don't b* personal. ” Out upon such arrant cowardiM—the wretchm who shield the lawless, for tb* sake of gain, would IhemmlVMb* lawless with tb* same motive. We have ao language in whioh to *xpr*M our horror of this crime. It wm not that a brave young man, a Chris tian gentleman, a true husband end a kind fstber died in tha discharge of bis duty, by the pistol of a desperado, it is that in tb* person of Morphy and our officers our municipality was act at defiance, and every good man outraged by the drunken braggarts, with whom not only the officers but cilixsns claiming to be law-abiding were only too lenient. The police should here arrested theM fellows at once, and in the event of their resisting thsy should hsv* taken ths promptest measures to subjngate them to the law. Murphy bad too much physical courage, and wm too ept to think others were equally warm hearted, generous and brave. His life te the forfeit of his mistaken kindneM, and his death a lesson to every offiosr who bM to do with a d-sperado, drunken or sober. There te on* fault connected, in onr be lief, with every officer eleetive aud other- wise In our country. We except Gov ernor Smith. They are too much afraid to hurt tha feeling* of a voter or a friend by a strict, determined and impartial ad ministration of their who’s dnty, unoar ing for that fickle, delusive, and unrelia ble thing, “Publio Opinion.” Had the Bagleya been poor follows, who ran no big aeoonnta at stores, and spent no ex cessive sums in bar-rooms, does any msu think the officers would have had such so-called “patience" with them? Cer tainly not; they would have been arrMted in a moment. If Eiland did not buy goods would msn run to shake the hands still rad with tb* blood of Davis? No, it te pptfy gain opposed to eternal justice; it ■ moral cowardice opposed to every law, human and Divine, and the man who oountenanom such crimes with thedread of losing the paltry dollar, or the fear of bringing on himself the hate of murderers and their friends, will see his efforts fruitless, his own life blasted and hie country still impoverished. From the first we have raised our voice, uncaring on* fig for “publio opin ion,” against the lawleaaneM that has cut off eighteen Uvm within the last year and a half, inside of a radius of thirty-five mites of our city. We had hoped that the oowards and bulliM would cease to duty pistols, but so lenient hM the so oalled “Law” been with the murderers of our lend that the blood-thirsty have taken oourage, end here, under the court-house wall, they killed the Chief of our Police. W* want capital and emigration; we want law and order; but the first will not come till we show the world w* oau main tain the latter. As for this journal we pledge it now to do everything iu it* power to thi* end. Uncaring for threats w* shall denounce the persons who break the law and carry concealed weapons, and w* shall keep that oommand before tbs desperate, “Thou ahall do ne murder," 0. any taint or irregularity, whatever, you state that “the -governing committee hap accordingly adopted a resolution prohib iting fnture dealings at the Exchange in any.pf tha State bond*, and thalal qf them shall be stricken from the list, uu- lem tbesd four bonds Are recognised ana acknowledged v*Ud, without needless de- anoe mar follow, and that tb* m*Murse proposed to be adopted may be averted j” end you reqUMt an early reply to your letter.

Wb learn from a special to the Mont gomery Nevi that tb* Bjerly-Warmoth difficulty eroM from Warmoth’s publish, ing in th* lieayune a letter addressed ta Byerly, manager of the Bulletin, ohsrging that gentleman with “unmitigated lying,' and indulging in a series of inuendoes against Edwin L. Jewell, the principal editorial writer for the Bulletin. It appears from the eocountsof ths New Orleans papers that Mr. Jewell had chsl- lenged Warmoth, on amount of this letter, and that a duel had been agreed upon but that Mr. Byerly, meeting Warmoth oa th* streets, wm so atasperated that he attacked the ex-Governor with a stick, knocking him down, when Warmoth, while they were clinched upon th* ground, drew from hia coat pocket a long-bladed apring knife, which readily opened by a touch of tha spring, and with this be stabbed Byerly five or six times, with fa tal neulta. While there wm muoh sym pathy for Byerly, the general opinion wm that Warmoth acted on th* dafeoalve.

I regret that yon it proper to iadujguta i purpose ef hfial ttas of tb* Mate into a demand of your board, to indulge in harsh expressions, and there fore will not characterise thia particular fMturs in the action of your board, in the language it deserves.

Smith. interest upon the 'erred to Wm refused upon the ground that no satisfactory explana tion had been made of th* manner ip which they were put Into oireolstion, or of th* capacity in wbieh they wirte held by those claiming them. It is sufficient to my, just here, that th* treMurer, whose especial duty it is to gutid th* treMuty against fraud and imposition, hM found it neeesmry to require such explanation upon the part of holders of bonds belong ing to the asm* series M the four men tioned by you, but who did not explain their ownership to the bond oommitt** appointed by th* General AsMuibly in 1871. Thi* information might havs been obtained, at any time, by applying through th* financial agent of the State in New York, or by writing directly to this department. It seems, however,that neither of them modM suited eithar-th* holders of th* four bauds or the 1 ‘com mittee on seouritiM,” and th* action of the New York Stock Exchange hM been invoked ia the premises. New. while begging to expr*M my rMpect for your institution, I take th* liberty of airing tbat/Do reeolu tion which it Is hM peered, or can pass, will be Buffered to control, in the slightest degree, th* action of th* treMurer, or of this department, ia in- ■istingupon a oompliance on lha port of public creditor*, with th; simple rsgola- lions shown by experience to be neoessa- ry for the protection of tb* State's inter est and credit. It is with regret I learn that you seem to think that this action on the part of the treasurer hM already mulled in th* depreciation of our Mcnrittee in your market. Bat I moat, sven at th* risk of incurring th* censure of th* “New York Stock Exchange,'’ Mill insist that th* au thorities of this State have ths sola right of deciding what seouritiM eoaMitate legal or equitable claims upon her tma- nry. Neither the government nor the people of this State have ever refused to pay any portion of our just publio debt. 1'ber* is, however, a fixed purpoM upon th* part of all not to pay or to recognise M valid sny illegal or unjust claim. The right to determine what olaima are legal aud just, m hM already been intimated, will be exercised by the proper authori ties of the State, end will never under any eirouinstanoM be oeded or transferred to the “New York Stock Exohang*.” As you an doubtlsm swam, it hM been the misfortune of this, M well M other Southern States, to have th* markets of the world flooded sinoe the late war with their, bonds, which, in many instances, wore issued fraudulently and without au thority of law. It ia hardiv n*o*M*ry to state to one so aoourateiy informed M yourself that thesj fraudulent isauM wen made from motive of private gain, and not in the interest of the public. Th* investigations whioh have been had and the regulation adopted at the trMtuiyhav* been intended to seaun such information m would enable the proper authorities to eliminate all fraudu- Snt securities from th* bonded debt of the State. The effect of this would be to protest the interest of those persons who hold ear legal securities. Indeed, th* internt of this class imperatively demand each a course of action npon onr part, for an in discriminate recognition of all bonds pur porting to have been issued by the would so increaM our public debt M to seriously impair ths value of that por tion of the same whioh te in reality gennins. I have already intimated, but will her* state more distinctly, that a committee wm appointed by the General Aseembly in 1871 to invMtigate and report upon ths bonded debt of the State. In dfeeharg. ing their duty, tb* committee found it necessary to trace M far back M praotioa- hle the history of eaoh on* of ths bonds purporting to have beeu issued under th* authority of the act of September 15, 1870. To this end notice wm given both in this eonntry and in Europe to holder* to present their bonds for examination, and to furnish tb* committee with the information required in reference thereto. A large majority of the holders nspended to this notice and furnished.such inform*, tion m enabled the committee to submit a satisfactory report to tb* General Assam, bly, touching the bonds so presented. But many of the holders failed to pr*Mnt their bonds, or lo submit to th* commit tee any information in reference thereto. A due regard for th* pnblio Interest required that th* his tory of ell theM bond* should be fully developed. Henoe the treasurer has required that when the ooupoas of bonds not reported to th* committee are presented for payment, a satisfactory his tory of their ownership shall ba given. When th* reason for this demand hM beeu understood bona fide holders, recog nising its propriety, have never beaitated to furnish tha explanation desired. It seems to have remained for th* “New York 8took Exchange," however, to de nounce this regulation, and in behalf of tbs fortunate holder* of the “four bonds” to give notice that it will no lengar be tolerated at ita board. If b simple pre caution not overburdensome to the bond holder, aud adopted solely for th* pur pose of preventieg frond end imposition upon the treasury of the State, should be .loomed a sufficient reason by th* “New York Stock Exchange” for attempting to Wa may forget the dead, but lat ua re member th* poor, who are with as always.
