CALLED TO REVISE THE CONSTITU TION. First Day—Wednesday, July 11th. In accordance with a proclamation isstied by his excellency, Alfred H. Colquitt, governor of Georgia, in pur suance of the provisions of an act of the general assembly “to provide for the holding ofa convention of the peo ple of Georgia for the purpose of revis ing the constitutson of said state,” ap- j&eyijidi February 26th, 1877, a conven- AiWfifth* state of Georgia assembled thjiUhy in the hall of the house of rep resentatives, in the state capitol, at 12 in. Mr. Gartrell, of Fulton, called the Convention to order and moved for the purpose of temporary organization, that Honorable T. L. Gueny, a di from the county of Quitman, be called to the chair. The motion prevailed unanimously and Mr. Gueny took the chair. Mr. Guerry on taking the chair thanked the convention in a short and appropriate address for the honor con ferred upon him, and pronounced the Convention ready for any motion or proposition. Mr. Trammell, of Whitfield moved that Mark A. Hardin, of Bartow and E. B. Thomas of Fulton act as tempo- rary.Secretaries. The motion was agreed to and Mr. Hardin and Mr. Thomas took positions at the desk. The Secretary then proceeded to call the roll. All the delegates were presr ent except Messrs.

To the unknowing masses Grant’s European jaunt seems hut a pleasure trip ; but in reality it is the biggest ilunk movement known to history : a flank which sweeps across the broad ocean; swings around through the old world, and to complete which, years are required. Its objective point is the Presidency in 1SSO. We learn from the Washington tele gram to the Baltimore -SW that one of the most intimate friends of General Grant says that his European tour and the honors showelwl^upoh him will be 'but tlm prSude to grealet honors to await him on h Late turn to the United States. He says thht if General Grant remain&abroad, as he probably will, for two years, on his return the Ameri can people Will have b«comsso enthu siastic over him ’that tlien.vill receiye such ah ovation as was never known, tfnd that he^will inevitaTh'-b'e noimna- ted and elected President in 1S80. He says that every speech made hy Gen eral Grant, in Englaiffl. lie. shows that he is looking aheaiLto 1889, and. he in stances particularly the speech made by General Grant & th* rBoivI.Qn wosSirjg; men. This-speech die says while ail- dresed to the.'ears of English working men, was intended to meet.the eyes iof the workingmen of America, and to be treasured up in their hearts. ’ In con- nectibh with .JHis ^BtatffiPtotatriPAde by one who possesses General Graft’s JuU- ■^t.taonlidfflide, is sjgjSSfijps'nfc to bote the expressions which are dropped by the adroit And unscrtipulous men who have controlled national .
