NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
SAVANNAH:
WEBNCSUAy BiOHNlftU, NOV. 8tli.
New and Populur aiu*tc Just Re
ceived by J. tl- Scbrolnor 4 Co.
Messrs. Hall Ac Son, New York, have
just published the following new pieces
of musid : Joke Polka, by Paul Stein -
hagen, a sparkling and very amusing
piece, with comic frontispiece. The
Waterfall Gallop, l>y the same author,
is a most brilliant and beautiful compo
sition and is meeting with a great sale
North. The Wedding Lanoeks as per
formed by Bernstein’s celebrated baud is
also debtined to become a favorite
piece.
Among the new publications emana
ting from the press of this prolific musi
cal repository, we have listened to no finer
piece than the gem from TV allace s
famous Opera Lurline, “Sweet Spirit
Hear my Prayer.” The title is suggestive
of a charming composition, and the
master musician, Professor Charles
Fradel, whose productions have en
tranced the souls of the lovers of pure
music, has succeeded finely iu trans
cribing the piece for the piano.
For new waltzes the same firm give two
very winning pieces, which cannot fail to
waltz into popularity from their genuine
sparkling beauty. “Perche non vieni
uncora,” the Guard’s Waltz,composed by
Enrico Bevignani, sung with bril
liant success by Teresa Titieus, will be
found a welcome companion to eveiy
music folio. “I’m Longing For Thee,”
will surely be admired for its delicacy of
touch, while there is a vein of poetic
sympathy sounding from every line that
charms the ear.
“False Love is Changing” (a waltz)
is the title of one of ‘Luigi Arditi’s best
and latest compositions. We need not
enlarge upon the attractive style of all
the works produced by this Italian mas
ter, for he is pronounced a tiuished musi
cian. He exhibits a grace and finished
touch in his pieces that render his pro
ductions popular with the musical public.
For Ballads Messrs. Hall .fc Son pn -
sent three : “My Bud in Heaven,” the
words by Spencer W. Cone, music by
Stephen Massett. Madam Anna Bishop
is singing this piece with great edo> to
appreciative audiences throughout the
country.
“The Past That Breathes of Thee” is
a .splendid ballad, full of reminiscences
well painted by the trenchant pen of
Alohonso A. Dayton, and appropriately
expressed in pleasing melody by M. Kel
ler.
Stephen Massett's old and deservedly
popular soDg, “Our Good Ship Sails to
Night,” is issued in elegant style, new and
revised in edition, with an artistic and
well executed lithograph frontispiece..
In addition to the above, our readers
will find at Schreiner’s Musical Empori
um the largest stock of music and the
finest assort meut of musical instruments
in Georgia. At this establishment can
always be found the latest novelties in
the musical world, both of foreign and do
mestic production.

■ The Convention met this morning at half
past nine o’clock. The proceedings were
opened with prayer.
The Salaries of Judges.
Mr. Thomas, from Coweta, moved to recon
sider so much of the proceedings of yesterday
as had relation to the salaries of the Judges.—
The third paragraph, first section of the Con
stitution for the regulation of this matter, was
as follows : “The Judges shall have salaries
adequate to their services, which shall not be
diminished during the continuance of their of
fice.” A motion was made to insert after the
words “shall not be diminished,” the words
nor increased,” which he (Mr. Thomas) con
sidered improper, and he would, therefore,
move to strike out those words, “nor in
creased. ” He regretted to obstruct the
progress of the action of the Convention
even for a few moments, but he con
sidered the importance of the question required
it. There was certainly good reason for the
insertion of the words “not diminished” in that
paragraph; but he certainly could see no rea
son for the words “ nor increased.” There al
ways existed and always would exist parties in
this country, and whenever a judge got on the
bench whose politics might be objected to by
the Legislature they could decrease his salary,
and by that means drive him off the bench.
There was a provision in the Constitution au
thorizing the holding of extra courts, and if
that was extra labor performed by the judges
it was only right and proper that they should
have extra pay. The judges formerly received
their pay in the currency of the country—in
Confederate money—and they wonld, during
the next four years, receive their pay in na
tional cuirency. Now, that currency was de
preciating in value every day, and before four
years were run out. it would not be worth one-
fourth or perhaps one-eighth what it was at
present. If they established, by this provision
in the Constitution, that the judges’ salaries
should not be increased, and it being impossi
ble for them to receive their pay in any other
way than currency, the result would be that
they would all have to leave the bench, and
the office turned over to some fifth-rate lawyer
who would not be making more by this prac
tice than the office was worth. It was only
proper that the highest legal talent should be
kept upon the bench, and in Order to secure
that the pay of the judges should be ample.
Mr. Mallard, of Liberty, could not see why
there should be a distinction in the fixing of
the salaries between the executive, the legis
lature, and the judiciary. There was no rea
son why tire legislature should have the
power at any timo to increase the salaries of
the judiciary and not meddle with that of those
who held other offices. The reasons assigned
by the gentleman across the way were that the
currency was in such a deranged condition, and
might at some future time get so low, as uot
to be sufficient to command the services of the
ablest men and induce them to remain on the
bench. But the same reason might apply to
the executive. The Constitution now passed
stated that the salaries of the executive should
be fixed by law, and not increased during
their term of office. Everybody koew the condi
tion in which some of the members of the Legis-
lature were placed during the past three or four
years by the constitution that was passed in
1800, saying that the Legislature should fix the
pay at the first session, and which should not
be increased during tbe continuance of office.
Currency went down to no value at all. Gen
tlemen were receiving but six dollars a day
and were paying at the boarding bouses at the
rate of from $20 to §30 a day, and if he (Mr.
Mallard) was not mistaken the pay was re
duced down to one dollar in gold which made
about $50 in currency. He could see no rea
son for allowing changes to be made in the
salaries of tbe judiciary, and uot extend the
samerule to the salaries of other officers of
the Government.
Mr. Thomas said that the very predicament
in which members of the Legislature were iu
at the period mentioned by tbe gen'lemau from
Liberty, showed the great importance of remov
ing these obstructions. They had to resort to
schemes to receive their pay in gold, and it
would have been much better for the Stale if
the pay was fixed at the rate of from $20 to
$30 a day.' In preference to all other officers, it
was of the greatest importance that the sala
ries of judges should be ample.
The question was then put, and the amend
ment was lost, - j
The Criminal Business—Changes of Vtmut.
Mr. Marshall, of Cobb, moved to amend tbe
4th paragraph in tbe Constitution relating to
criminal business. The paragraph be wished
to amend was as follows:
“That all criminal business shall be tried in tbe
counties where the crime was committed, except
m cases where a jury cannot be obtained.’ ’
He proposed to amend that paragraph by in
serting. after the words “m cases,” tbe following;
' except in cases whe e the fudge is satisfied by
evidence that an impartial triaf cannot be had.”
Every one who was at ell convorsant with tbe
practice of tbe courts would agree with b m in
the proposition that there weie cases of a capital
character occurring from time to time in tbe
State of Georgia in which, to procure an impar
tial trial, theie should be a change of venue.
Be would not detain the Convention by at
tempting to show under what circumstances that
necessity arose. There were in existence in por
tions of the State of Georgia, to day, untried ca
ses of a nature that never existed before. It was
knowD that in the Southwestern portion of tbe
State, on tbe question of secession, there wag a
great variety of sentiment entertained by the
people. In many of these counties tbe people
were about equally divided. Iu some few there
was a decided majority against secession. Those
counties had been peculiarly situated during tbe
eventful campaign ot ’64, when the gallant Tittle
army under Johnston was battling tor tbe inde
pendence of the country. Those people were al
ternately under the rale of one army mod another;
and the consequence of these changes was, that
dur.ng the occupation of the contending armies,
those who entertained Confederate or rebel opi
nions, during the occupation ot the Federal ar
my, were driven from their homes, their houses
burned, their women insulted, and every variety
pf outrage that human brutality could suggest
was perpetrated. After Sherman vacated that
again occupied that country to gratify that i. el-
ing by reprisals for those thus outraged. There
was, in many of these counties, a slate of things,
gro wing out of tbe fact of their being occupied
By different forces, that up to this time bad been
unprecedented in the history of Georgia. The
courts were at present crowded with indictments
implicating a large number of porsone—the rebel
on one side and the Unien man on the either.
Could it, therefore, be expected that an impartial
trial con Id be bed under circnmstancea like
those V Could they hope to get a jury of twelve
men to try enoh a case - -that there would not bo
found one or more on that jury who would isror
the defendant 1* Tbe opportunity should ttere.
fore bo left to the presiding Jtragt, whs would
exercise his discretion of removing that trial to
another county in the Srate, where the same
cause did not exist to the same extent.
The question having been j ut, the amendment
was lost

Constitution he had reference to ho.

posed to restricting this matter to the election of
Ordinaries, and for his part, be was willing that
it should apply to ad He was actuated by
motives not restricted to anything beyond a
principle ot justice in making such a motion.
Tbe present Convention was assembled for tbe
purpose of re-organization ; they were called to
gether to build up a new fabric of government.
The old government had passed away, the old
legislature had passed away, and they were
called together forthe purpose of re-establishing
and ii aking a new govei uuient. Sir, he con
tinued, when our armies surrendeied; when tbe
illustrious banner of Lee, in the language of an
other, ‘'bright with many triumphs and un
dimmed by any defeat;” when tbs berioc army
of Johnson followed iu his way the Confederacy
for which they were struggling fell, and every
component part ot that Confederacy fell with it.
There was no civil law in this land after the sur
render of our armies, and when the Governor of
Georgia undertook to convene the Legislature he
was rebuked by the Executive Alter the sur
render of our armies every body admits that we
had no Judicial system.
The offices were filled by men who sought to
avoid the obligations of duty. A great many
of the soldiers of the Confederacy, to their
honor be it spoken, "'ere not candidates for of
fice at a time when their country called for
their services in the field. They did not de
sire it. Sir, there was a time when all over
this land, from the mountains to the seaboard,
the prayers of the people ascended from morn
ing’s dawn to evening, joining in one holy
prayer to invoke the blessing of God on the
hiave men who left their homes and families,
who tore themselves from the embraces of
those they held most dear, to devote them
selves to the cause to which Georgia had in
vited them. Sir, to a great extent, that feel
ing has passed. The end of the great struggle
which so much inspired the virtues of Georgia
seems to have blighted the sensibility of her
people, and their warm sympathies seem to
have fallen like the dew drops from the flower
when the wind passes over it. I come to-day
lo urge the claims of the soldier. Four years
ago the great State of Georgia determined that
she should “wrest,” in the memorable lan
guage of a distinguished member of this body,
every tie that bound her to the Union.” AH
determined to pledge their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor for Georgia, who called
on her sons to come to her defence. They
came, and they lost all.
“The widow - , sire,
The matron gray,
And the fair bride of yesterday,
Saw the loved warrior pass away,
And deemed it sin to weep.”
Their ghastly, blesc ring bones lie on many n
battle field exposed to the sunshine and the
storm, eDdless monuments of their courage and
devotion, or it may be that by tbe kindness of a
comrade, many of them sleep in so'diers’ graves,
“far truin home, uuknelleJ, uncottined and un
known.” But,
“Honor decks the turf that wraps the clay.”
Immortality is their heritage and that of their
children.
"Each lit .le rill,
Each mighty river,
Rolls mingling with their fame forever.”
Now, what is the spectacle that is presented
by this resolution - ; It is proposed that their re
turning comraoes, who have returned home with
aimless sleeves, shattered limbs and broken
constitutions then property ail swept away
by the war, their families impoverished, their
negroes gone, and their homes desolated,
should be excluded, whilst these men who
lived qnietly and safely in their cradles when
the storms of war were sweeping over the land,
still sleep fat end sleek in leather beds to the
exclusion of these brave soldiers. I cannot
bring myself to believe that the majority of the
members of this house will lend their sanction
to such unjust discrimination, and I close my
remarks by recommending the reconsideration
of this matter.
Mr. Mallard did not consider it a question
that should couie before tho Convention now.
Mr. Hammond said his office would be vaca
ted in a few days, t.fiicb, so far as ha was con
cerned, would give a soldier an opportunity of
filling it. It was not proper to ascribe bad mo
tives to anybody, lie took it for granted that
the gentleman did not mean what he said when
he stated that the people of Georgia did not re
spect the soldier as they used to do. That was
a mistake; and whenever the question came up
honoring the soldier it would be seen that the
people of Georgia would do so. But that was
uot the question. The simple question was
whether the thing could he done or not, and
whether it could be done according to law.
There was no doubt if, as the gentle
man over the way had remark'd, Geor
gia was a State, and liad a Constitution,
it could not be done, because that Con
stitution contained the clause: “All civil
officers shall continue in the exercise of the
duties of their offices during the period for
which they were appointed, or until they shall
be supe; ceded by appointments made in confor
mity with this Constitution.” Having quoted
further clau es in tbe Constitution, sbowiug tbe
illegality of tbe proposed amendment, and the
impossibility of its being carried out according to
law, he concluded by stating that there was no
man would go further than te would to serve a
soldier when it would be possible to do so.
Col. Cutts, of Sumter: There ore but few of tbe
soldiers who will ask tor favors at tbe hands of
Georgia, and especially official positions; I
certainly would ask for none. I believe that
when an opportunity may be affo'ded, that the
people of Georgia will remember those who are
wounded and disabled. 1 do not, however, con
sider they have any claims to office. If they left
their homes at the behest uod mandates of the
State, and Dobly stood in the iron', they simply
did tbeir duty. They claim no honors, I claim
no honor for them, and 1 say again, that I be
lieve tbe people ot Georgia, whenever an oppor
tunity may be afforded them, will remem
ber the dsabled soldiers and give them any po
sition that their competency may enable them to
fill. 1 expect yet to call on tbe Convention to re
member the widow nnd the orphan of the
soldiers hut for the soldier himself 1 expect to
ask nothing. I think it is very unfortunate that
this question should bo so frequently brought
up—this question of the war. ) hope gentle
men wilt remember the facts in connection with
it. The sufferings we bore, and the feelings we
have in our bosoms to day are deep and lasting
enough to impress it but too forcibly oo our
minds, without being jeminded at every step of
our degradation, our Tosses, and our mistortuoes.
They stare us in the face, and gentlemen, it is
do ure to diecu6s the matter here. Let us pro
ceed with tbe regular business of the Convention,
aod not consume time in discussing such ques
tions. 1 hope, sir, the motion will not pre- j
vail.
The Colonel’s hopes were realized. It did
not.
The Lost Cotton.
Mr. Hopkins moved that the committee for
the investigation into this affair should be vest
ed with the power to procure document-,
swear witnesses, and sit permanently and re
port the result of thoir inquiry to the next
General Assembly-
Mr. Cohen, from Savannah : As one of that
committee, I object to the passage of that re
solution, and on these grounds : The Conven
tion of the State of Georgia is a limited body
—limited in its duration, and in my opinion
limited in powers of action. It is a very com
mon thing in legislative bodies to appoint
committees who may ait in recess from time to
time, and the reason of that is this—-that all
legislative bodies are of perpetual duration ;
they never go out j they are perpetually in ses
sion. The legislature of to-day may keep a
standing committee in being during its entire
existence. It is to iniiui a matter for the
Legi-latu ,- e, and not for a Convention, whose
existence is only for a season, for when we ad
journ we are gone and no more j we are num
bered among the things that are past. I say it
is an anomaly for a Convention to create a
body who are to sit when they themselves are
extinct, and it is anoth r anomaly that a Con
vention is to ait in judgment upon a matter,
and make a report Of it ton body of which
they are not members. Why, eir, tbe Legisla
ture of tbe State ofGeorgia. consulting its own
dignity and province, wonld not listen to a re
port from ns. We are to them a foreign body,
and hare no right to report to them.
After some farther discussion, an amendment
wasadipted simply empowering tbe committee
to procure witnesses mud documents, and not
speci ying the time for their sitting.
Reduction in the House of Representatives.
Mr. Jenkins, in briDgiog forward this matter,
said : With the consent of the Committee ot six
teen, lie reported a plan for the reorganization
ot the General Assembly. Tbe committee came
to ’he conclusion that they could not effect any
reduction. They koew it would be a bone ot
contention, and that the present was an inoppor
tune time for it. When they c -me to tbe section
having rtferecce to the Senatorial districts, a
resolution was introduced recommitting it and
instructing the committee to report a p.an for
the reduction of bo’h Houses. Now he would ask
gentlemen of experience if that coold possibly
be done with any sort ot satisfaction to. the Con
vention or to their constituents V For his own
part, he believed it could not be done, and he
therefore again reported a proposition to come
back lo the original report of the committee.
A discussion followed, after which it was
finally agreed upon not to make any redaction
and to adopt the report of the committee.
A resolution having been adopted to me
morialize tbe president of the United States to
pardon Commodore Tatnall, the Convention
adjourned to half-past 9 to-morrow morning.
Miixedgbvillk, Nov. 3.
Tbe Convention met half-past 9 this morn
ing.
The University of Georgia.
The question of endowment of this Univer-
versity was the subject of debate early this
morning.
Mr. Hammond made an eloquent appeal in
favor of tbe endowment and the education of
the youth of Georgia.
It was argued by other gentlemen that the
State was too much indebted already, and that
the amount necessary for the endowment of it
was far too large to be added to tbe taxes of tbe
country, which would have the effect, as one
gentleman stated, of tearing the bread from the
mouths of the widows and orphans of those
who were sleeping in bloody graves. The
general tone of the debate, however, went in
favor of endowment and of holding on to the
old institution where so many of them had pass
ed their youth.
Jg'Mr. Candler, from Decatur, delivered a
lengthened address in favor of tbe endowment.
He held that when Georgia was almost a wil
derness, in times gone by, and could then af
ford to keep up that institution, it would be a
lasting disgrace to the people of Georgia to let
it go down now.
Judge Jenkins also made an eloquent ap
peal to make a permanent endowment in favor
of the institution. It was a guarantee for one
of the greatest blessiogs that could be given to
a people—education. lie saw no other way to
open the doors of that noble institntion. Would
they allow it to go to ruins, and with it leave
also to go to ruins tbe education of the youth
of Georgia?
Tbe ayes and nays having been called for, the
majority a ere in favor of endowment.
Mr. Jenkins introducefrom committee of
six'een, the ath reotion of the Constitution, reg
ulating the manner of electing members of the
General Assembly, and deolariog valid alt laws
previously passed not contrary or derogatory to
the laws of the United State:. The electors to
members of the General Assembly should be free
whi e male citizens, who should have paid all
tsxes, resided two years in the State; should be
citizens of the United States, and sb'<uld have re
sided six months in the county for the represen
tation of which they were to vote; and no persons
not qualified to vote for members of tbe General
Assembly sbonld be allowed to hold office in the
State.. All marriages between blark and white
people were prohibited, and any ifficer or Minis
ter of tbe Gospel, who should marry sneb persons
togotber, to be liable to indictment.
This concluded tbe Constitution, and the Con
vention adjourned to half-past three this after
noon, when it is expected the eonimittee of six
teen will report to the Convention on the subject of
repudiation, a - d the long expected great debate
will commence. I shall send yoa t e debate in
full whenever it occurs. T. W.
MlLLEDOEVILLE, NOV. 4.
The Convention met this morning at half
past 9 o’clock. The proceedings having been
opened with prayer, the question of mileage
and expenses of tho members of the Con
vention and the officials, was brought forward
and was tbe subject of an amusing debate. The
question was simply whether the delegates
should get $6 per diem, exclusive of mileage,
which was $6 for every 20 miles, or have $8
per diem, exclusive of mileage. Cue gentle-'
man remarked that the question, brought for
ward iu the manner it was, was good evidence of
tbe value to be set upon “mouth patriotism,’’
as those gentlemen who held that the State
was too poor to grant an endowment to the
University of Georgia, did not now consider
that it was too poor to pay a good round sum
to themselves. After considerable debate the
gentlemen in favor of $8 a day succeeded, af
ter a closely run division.
The final reading of the Constitution waa
then proceeded with and suspended at the sug
gestion of tbe Chairman, in order to allow Mr.
Chappell, of Muscogee, to introduce some
resolutions on the death of Mr. Hines Holt,
and after an impressive tribute to bis memory
by Messrs. Chappell, Jenkins and others, a
full synopsis of which we gave by telegraph
on Monday last, the following resolutions were
submitted snd unanimously adopted :
1. Resolved, That tbe members of this Con
vention deeply lament the death of their late
associate in this body, tbe Hon. Hines Holt,
delegate from the county of Muscogee, and
tender to bis bereaved family their heartfelt
condolence.
2d. Resolved, That as a mark of respect for
his memory and sorrow for his death, the mem
bers will wear the usual badge of mourning on
the left arm for the space of thirty days.
3d. Resolved, That a committee of four
members of this Convention be appointed by
the President to superintend the arrangements
touching the remains of the deceased, and to
attend them from this city to his late home in
Muscogee county.
4th. Resolved, That the members of the
Convention will, in a body, attend tho remains
of the deceased from his late lodgings in this
city to the Railroad depot.
5th. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be transmitted by the Secretary of the
Convention to the family of the deceased.
The Convention adjourned aa a mark of re

date of October 17, reports that as yet there is bo
abatement of tbe plague among tbe cattle,

has in a few instances broken out with great
violence in flocks ol sheep. As there is danger
that the diseuse may be transmitted to America,

IN JIEJIOItUiU.
Died, on the 2d Of November, 1365, MOLLIE,
daughter of P. and F. Warner, aged 5 years and 10
months.
Only one short year ago, death hovered o’er that
little band and bore away their brightest one, dear
little Tedy, and now another, their darling Mollie, is
called away. Fond Parents, think not of your little
darlings in the cold and silent grave, but ef the happy
little band awaiting yon around the Father's Throne
on High.
, Shining and beautiful angels
Saw this bright sunbeam of earth,
And they were anxious to win it,
To give it immortal birth;
As to their Father they hastened.
To Him their story of love.
He sent the brightest among them
To carry our Mollie above.
Mourn not the roee-bud that's faded—
Greeve not the cherub decayed—
Weep not the jewel departed,
Plead not for the sun-beam that’s strayed.
Oh! she is blissful and happy—*
Angelic crowns wreath her brow,
In fields of glory she’s straying,
Mollie's a bright Angel now. 8. E. B.
