The Atlanta Negro Constitution Oppres ses the Poor Man, and Degrades His Children to the Social Level of the r* e s r °. See. 1ft," Article Gth, of this so-called Constitution makes it imperative upon the first Legislature, at its first session, to es tablish, at the expense of the tax payers, a thorough system of free schools, which shall he open to all children.regardless, of rare, or sex or color. Its language is tfii3 : "The General Assembly, at its first session after, the adoption of this Constitution, shall pro vide a thorough system of general education, to he forever free to all the children of the State—the expense of wh ich shall he pro vided fir hy taxation, or otherwise. To <; provide a thorough system of gen eral education,” as contemplated in this Constitution, will require five million of dollars to begin on. To be thorough, there must be a school house built, and a teacher furnished in every neighborhood iu the State—where the neighborhoods are donse- ly populated, as in towns and cities, more than one must be provided. Think of the immense amount of machiuery necessary to make the system thorough, and enter upon a calculation of the number of children in the State, including the blacks—the ex pense of building and organizing this mam moth scheme, the wages of employees, and who among us does not know that, in the present prostrate condition of our people, that such a scheme is utterly impractica ble. The taxes necessary to support such a scheme must fall upon the poor land holders, and let it be borne in mind that even the boasted “homestead” is expressly made subject to the tax. Such a burthen imposed now would render your lands val ueless and leave your wives and children homeless. Take Floyd county fot example. She has about twenty thousand inhabi tants—allowing one school to every thous and inhabitants—and it would require 20 schools, (which is a meagre estimate) for the county. Estimate, tho cost of suitable grounds for the location of r.hese schools— the expense of building, seats, desks and tho necessary apparatus, tho wages of the teachers, the salary of the State Commis sioner, and of his numerous clerks and other expanses, and each school will cost at least $1500 to begin-on. The twenty schools for the couuty would cost, at that rate, $30,000. How is this money to b raised! 1st. By ‘-Poll tax" and this is all the tax tho negro pays. IIow much will this amount to ’ In 1SGG the total amount of polls in Floyd cjunty, was 1955, at 61 per head, this would be less than 62,000, leaving §28,000 to be .raised by other means. - 2nd. Special tax on shows and exhibi tions. This tax, in the county, will not average, annually, over 6200. 3d. The Legislature is authorized to levy a tax “ou spirituous and malt liquors.”'-. •1th. “By the commutation for militia service.” All the revenues above enumerated would not amount to $5,000. That would leave a deficit of $25,000 to be met hy the white tax payers of Floyd. How is it to be rais ed. The Constitution says : “If the pro visions herein made shall at any lime prove insufficient, the General Assembly shall have, power to levy such genera! tax etc., as may he necessary for the support of said school sys tem.” Suppose this Constitution is ratified, and a radical Legislature elected to carry out its provisions, is it not apparent that the depreciated - remnant of your property would bo exhausted to carry out this infa mous school system. And for what arc these heavy burthens imposed ? To give you—white men of Georgia, the inestimable privilege of send ing your children to the Same.school with the negro children—to have them taught by the same Yankee school “Manns,” and masters—to have their minds poisoned by the false isms there taught—to have their by daily contact and asso- ciation i’.'ZxuA degraded negro—in fine, for the privilege of degrading your chil dren to the same social level with the black race. But, is it true that this Constitution, re quires you to equalize your children with the negro, in the school room. Let it speak for itself. It saysthese schools are “to he foreverfreeto all the children of the State.’ “All tho children of the State”—include both white and black, male and female.— “To be forever free to all the children,’’ means that no future legislation shall ever debar the negro child from an equal par ticipation of the benefits of eac-h and every school established under this system. The Constitution says, in another place, “That the social status of the citizen shall never he the subject of legislation.” The negro is a citizen, under this Constitution. Education is (1m very foundation of the so cial system. If the “social status” is not to he the subject of legislation, and the school room is “to be forever Ires to all the chil dren of the State,” how are you to prevent the negro from an equal social relation with the white child, under this “thorough -sys tem of general education,” provided for by this “so-called” Constitution ? What then is to be its effect ? It com pels you either to send your children to the schools established at your expense, and place them upon the same “social status” with the negro, or to withhold them alto gether. One thing is eortain, you cannot shut out the negro. If you keep your children iu school, you degrade them by as sociation. If you withhold them, you still pay the same burtheusome taxes to sup port these schools, for the benefit of the blacks, and in nine cases out of ten you will he forced to raise up your children in utter ignorance. The few rich men of the country may employ private teachers to educate their children, but the poor men, and the great mass of our people are poor, aud taxed already to the utmost degree of endurance, will have no alternative but to associate their children with the negro, upon terms of social equality, in the school room, under this system, or let them grow up in ignorance. They are not able to hire private teachers. “Oh, shame, where is thy blush. 7 ’ Proud old commonwealth of Georgia, how fallen. To what depths of degradation have some of thy degenerate sons, in concert with yankee adventurers, and degraded negroes, iu Convention assembled, dragged thee. •Tax payers, Temeniber that when you vote for this Constitution, you vote to pay over five millions of dollars taxes in addi tion to what you already pay, for the priv ilege of sending your children to the same school with the negro, and these burdens y6u entail upon your children. Aud re member that this is only one of the iniqui ties of this infamous scheme to degrade and ruin you and your children. Can this Legislature Change the Con stitution, if Ratified. The Radicals here pretend to oppose the Democratic nominees for the Legislature, on the ground that they, hy a two-thirds vote, can change the Constitution. This is not true. The concurrence of a two-tliirds vote of two successive Legislatures nmy submit to the people for ratification, any amendment to the Constitution which their wisdom may dictate. But it does not be come a part of the Constitution unless rati fied by the qualified voters of the State. The first Legislature cannot even sub mit an amendment. The unanimous con currence of a dozen Legislatures cannot amend, change or modify, in the least par ticular, any’ article of the so-called Consti tution. All it can do is to recommend such change to the people. Those who. favor the Constitution, therefore, may vote for the Democratic nominees, with porlect as surance that if elected that they cannot an nuli, or change a single provision of the Constitution. See Article XII. new Constitution. right totheir property, whilst those whose trustee still survives, can recover the whole of theirs. Does that Constitution declare the truth when it says it is the paramount duty of government to afford impartial and complete protection to property and person? If so, out of its own mouth, it stands con demned. CttITO. Correction. Mr. Editor—A mistaken idea, in re gard to the duty of Tax Collector and Re ceiver, seems to have prevailed in the Grand Jury, while making their recent Presentments. The following quotation, and the accompanying remarks explains all: “The Treasurer of the county informs us that no coney, for license fur the sale of spirituous liquors, has been received by him since he has been Treasurer of the county, nor has he received a dollar on ac count of sales of Estray’s. We respectfully call the attention of the proper officers to this flagrant neglect of duty on the part of either the Tax Assessor or Collector, and suggest that the matter he at once inves tigated.” Grand Jury Presentments, Adjourned March Term, 18GS. The above is calculated to do 8. C. Trout, Tax Collector, and myself great injustice, though not intentionally, I hope. By reference to the new Code of Geor gia, Page 120, Section 563,.and Page 279, Section 1432, you will see that the Collec tor aud Assessor have nothing to do with either the sales of estrays or collecting the liquor license. K. W. Berryhill, T. R. Rome, Ga., April 7, ’08. The Proposed Constitution. The first Section of the 1st Article is as follows : “Protection to person and prop erty is the paramount duty of government, and shall be impartial and complete.’’ This is a correct prinoiple, and did not the Constitution, of which it forms a part, violate it, that Constitution would be much less except ionahle. But, in utter disregard of this declaration, the same Constitution goes on, aud by the rigid and discriminat ing provisions of the relief feature actual}’ forbids protection to a large part of the cit izen’s property, so that the protection of property, which is provided, is not com plete — neither is impartial, but it is wickedly and foolishly partial. This will appear evident by reference to some of the discriminations made in the relief section 1. A debt contracted on the 31st day of May, 1865, cannot be collected, but one contracted Juno the 1st, 1865, canhe. And this partiality iB shown from the mere un- importaut fact of their different dates, al though, in every other respect the debts may be the same. And so the whole pro vision allowing debts to be collected, be cause contracted since June 1st, 1865, aud forbidding the collection of those created previous to that time, is based upon no ad equate or just distinction, hut is wholly ar bitrary and partial. 2d- As to suits against trustees, the dis crimination is not only partial, but unrea sonable. If tho trust property, or other specific effects is in the hands of the trus tee, he may be sued and made to pay for it; but if the trustee has wasted the property, used it for his own benefit, or has even sold it and obtained money lor it, and spent that money, he cannot be made responsible, although he may be rich, and the person whose property he has used is poor, help less, lunatic, and in some cases a minor.— What partiality and injustice is this ! Our laws had already provided that, if from the war, emancipation of slaves, or other una voidable cause, trustees, or guardians, had lost the property they held as such, they should not be held personally responsible for such property. And was not that all that an honest trustee could ask, or a just ■Legislature.permit ? 3. As to suits by trustees, for the bene fit of minors, the discrimination and protec tion of the-property of minors is not impar tial nor reasonable. Trustees of minors appointed before June 1, ’65,arepermitted, ou behalf of such minors, to sue for and collect debts contracted before June 1st, 1865, but trustees appointed after that time are forbidden to sue. Why is this distinction made ? What has the time of the" appointment of the trustee, to do with the rights and property of the minor ? Why such-discrimination ? Why such ar- bitrarv partiality ? Is such the fruits of an intention to do right, and to afford impar tial protection to property ? Surely- not— some ignoble, sinister motive, must have prevailed in making such a distinction.— Suppose two trustees were appointed before June, 18G5—each of a separate family of minors. One of these trustees dies—the other still lives. In place of tho deceased a new trustee is appointed since June, ’65. Under this Constitution, which the people of Georgia are asked to ratify, those chil dren whose trustee died aro debarred all Mr. EDITOR.-Sir: I have heard" Messrs.

Ammonia has a Motive Power. Galignaui says: Visitors to the Great Exhibition may recollect having seen an euginesetin mo tion hy the application of ammonia, which wtts exhibited in class 53 hy M. Fort, a na val eugineer. This engine attracted the Emperor s attention, as well as that of the public, tlie saving resulting from tho sys tem being enormous. It appeared from the experiments made, that a common fif- tecn-liorse power steam engine working four hours,, consumed 247 kilogrammes of fuel, while the ammonia engine, working four hours and eighteen minutes, did not consume more than 107 kilogrammes. The saving wa3, therefore, about sixty per cent. The new apparatus has, moreover, the ad vantage of being easily applicable to the old boiler. The chemical theory on which M. Fort’s system rests in tliis: The latent heat of the dies Jutiou of ammonia in water is the al gebraical sum of the latent heat of liquifac- tiou of that gas aud of its heat of combina tion with water. The new engine, how ever, docs not employ liquified ammonia cal gas, but a dissolution of that gas in water, and commonly known as liquid ammonia. This solution only absorbs 126 units of heat in its vaporization, while that of water ab sorbs 606 of these units. Moreover, com mon liquid ammonia boils at 50 degrees cen tigrade, and affords a pressure of six atmos pheres at 111 degrees in order -’to produce tho same pressure. Nevertheless, an objection to this new system had to b& removed.- Ammonia will attack" copper and brass, with great avidity; and as many parts of a steam engine con sists,of brass, their speedy deterioration might be looked forward to. Fortunately, however, ammonia, the enemy of copper, is the friend of iron, that is iron indefinitely in contact with it will'be preserved from rust instead of suffering from it, and all the parts of the steam engine now made of brass may henceforth be made of iron. The es cape of ammonia from the engine is not to be "dreaded, because the fatty substance with which engines are greased being sa ponified by contact with that gas, will only make them more air-tight than be fore.
