TOWN MICTION.
The election for Town Commis
sioners on last Saturday did not
pass off so quietly as was expect
ed. The opposition ticket was
announced early in the morning,
which created considerable inter
est until the leading citizens were
informed that the new ticket were
not in opposition to the previous
regulation and inoral government
of the town. Later in the even
ing it was developed that th op
posing ticket were not committed
to any policy, and that they were
opposed to much of the policy car
ried out by the present Council.
This impression set to work men
who had not before felt any inter
est in the election as the only
issue was thought to be a personal
preference for the candidates.
The interest increased until the
polls were closed which was sev
eral minutes before the time for
closing. The managers counted
the votes by keeping only one
tally sheet, by which count one ol
the opposing candidates w r as just
one vote ahead of one on the
nominated ticket. It was propos
ed by one of the managers that
they Would postpone issuing cer
titicates until Monday morning.
The other tw’o being desirous of a
new count anyhow, accepted the
proposition, turned over the bal
lot-box,unsealed,to the Justice ol
the Peace, and on Monday morn
ing met to make a new count.
To this new count one of the man
agers objected because he said
the ballots could possibly, not
probably, have been changed
during the intervened time. But
as he had kept the only tally
sheet on Saturday he consented
to assist in the counting. Accord
ing to this count the two candi
dates above mentioned “ tied.”
In the meantime one voter came
in and acknowledged he had vo
ted when he had no right to vote.
On making the report two of the
managers contended for Monday’s
count amd the other for Satur
day’s count. After much quib
bling and some hard sayings the
two managers turned over to the
Justice of the Peace the ballot
box, sealed. Thus stands the re
sult. Both parties favor a contest
—some favor a new election, oth
ers say there can be no election.
Some desire one foolish thing,
others a still more foolish thing.
The matter will be rightly ad
justed by the proper authorities.
The great indifference in regard
to the election on the part of
many—indeed most—of the lead
ing citizens caused this confusion.
But they are now waked up, and il
the matter again comes before the
people, they will easily convert
Saturday's tragedy into a triumph
and Norcross will still be control
ed by the representatives of her
ni>r:il, inhdiiircnf, enterprising
and virtuous citizens.
HON. 11. P. BELL’S RETURN
TO CONGRESS.
Hon. 11. P. Bell passed here last
Thursday on his return to Con
gress. He was accompanied by
his most excellent wife who will
lend a refining influence to the
society at Washington. The ex
ception has become the rule.
Twenty five years ago there were
seldom more than twenty Con
gressmen whose wives accompa
nied them to Washington. At
that time Washington was an im
moral city, and many of the
brightest intellects succumbed to
its manifold temptations. But to
day forty-five Senators out of sev
enty two, and one hundred and
seven Kepiesentatives out of two
hundred and thirty-five are ac
companied by their wives. What
a potent influence will these one
hundred and fifty two wives of
Congressmen exercise 1 Besides
the wives there are also congre
gated at \\ ashington the accom
plished daughters of eighteen
Senators and twenty-five Repre |
sentatives. We regard this as a
change for the better. We ex
pect much geod from so much j
female intelligence, morality and
virtue concentrated at the Capi
tol of the nation.
Colonel Bell regards .he future
as gloomy. He says the Demo
crats have but little influence in |
C ongress, and is of the opinion
that Summer’s Civil Rights bill j
will pass bathhouses. This bill,
as nur readers are aware, will g.ve I
the negro every political an d xo •
eial right enjoyed in this govern |
jnent. In fact it will guarantee
thv Itvgro position in our church
es, schools, hotels, trains, etc.
Colonel Bell expressed to us his
opinion that this bill will become
law, in spite of all effort on the
; part of the Democratic members.
Our people of late have been ac
customed to many obnoxious
congressional measures, but this
Civil Rights Bill will prove the
most humiliating of any that have
ever disgraced our national legis
lation.
STATE CONVENTION.
> The Savannah News states
; there are forty two papers in
s Georgia in favor of a Con vention
[ and thirteen against it. The At
lanta papers seem to think a Con
. vention would remove the Capitol
[ and hence strongly oppose every
> argumant offered in favor of a
. Convention. The other papers
opposing coaly discuss the ques
i tion and base their oppos tion
. solely upon Hie expense it will
incur. Tiis is the only valid ar
] gument against a Convention, we
do not think it so strong as imag
j ined. Our proposition at the out
. set was to call a Convention o:
[■ men who are patriotic enough tc
1 frame for Georgia a Constitution
free of charge. We have in the
f Slate patriots men who grew
I wise in the Legislature of Georgia
when it was an honor to be there
. and who are to day ripe in wisdom
I and patriotism—that will respond
. to tho voice of the people—meet
in General Assembly ami give a
1 Constitution worthy of the Com-
> mon weal th.
Has not every county in deor-
I gia one such patriot?

valuable services. She will prove
hers-. If competent for whatever
she uadeitakes ar.d will infuse an

THE S f TATE CONVENTION.
Our Atlanta exchanges and a
few others, oppose the call of a
State Convention to enable the
I’eo?le of Georgia to form a Con
stitution for themselves instead of
recognizing the miserable abor
tion brought forlli by carpet-bag
gers, Ac., as the organic law, chief
ly on the ground of the cost of
such a Conve ition. We have re
peatedly shown that it need not
cost one fourth as much as the
I pie bald convention of 1867-’6B.
The Savannah News briefly
i sums up the reasons lor holding a
I Convention. a‘s follows :
1. As a means of providing a
! people made famous by the learn
ing and statesmanship of Troup,
! Lump in, Berrien, Cobb and oth
i ers, with a charter of Government
' framed by tlieir own hands, and
■sailed to their intelligence and
patriotism.
2. Asa means of removing the
j Bullock bond controversy out of
; domain of the legislative lobby
an.l burying it beyond the hand
1 of resurrection.
3. As a means of limiting the
Legislature to biennial sessions,
and fixing the per diem of mem
bers.
4. As a means of reducing the
amount of homestead and person
alty exemptions, which, at pres
ent, are .unjust and extravagant.
5. As a means of revising our
judiciary system, and reducing
the terms of office.
6. As a means of relieving the
Spreme Court of a vast amount of
labor by allowing trial by a sec
ond jury, in accoidar.ce with the
old system.
7. As a means of limiting or
prohibiting special legislation bv
the General Assembly.
8. As a means ot providing a
positive inhibition against reck
less and unnecessary donations of
State aid.
lhe second, third and seventh
ol those propo'-ed changes would ■
save to the people in one year. I,
ten times the cost of a conven-1
tion. — Sifutherii L

THE CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE.
On Monday and Tuesday last

tlemee above named. We, how
ever, do not believe these speech
es will avail anything further than
remind the nation of trampled
Constitutional principles of which
Stephens and Lamar are the
ablest expounders and defenders
upon the continent.

We believe in the co-education of lhe sexes; we limit their association ; they meet
only i i the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during lhe
suspension of regulations pertaining thereto. I heir association to this extent makes
them more attentive to p< rsonal appearance, and more refined in speech.- It gives boys
higher of honor, for they dread the opinion of girls who scoff at meanness
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, arid makes t eni
more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and
