A curtain class ot political theorists assert that
the right to vote is au attribute of Immunity.—
These advocates ol niauliood suffrage attempt to
maintain this proposition by utlvuuciog another
which is equally untenable; viz: that as every
man is bound to obey tho laws of the State in
which he lives, it is Just that lie should have a
voice in the making of those laws. That this
reasoning is fallacious, will appear when wo
consider that every man is Ivm a subject of law
Every member of a Stale is subject to its tumla-
mental law- the law of Justice. If it were pos
sible for a man to bo horn out of society—entire
ly tree and independent, he might, with some
show of reason, object to entering into civil so
ciety, and yielding obedience to the lawa of the
State ol which he Is nbout to become a member,
unless he was allowed to have a voice in choos
ing the rulers und law makers ot that State.—
But as it is apparent to every one that this hy
pothesis i.uihot l>e realizcd.it follows that the
elective frauohise is not an attribute of humani
ty, hut as thu name indicates—nfranehine.
Were all the members ol a State equally in
telligent and patriotic, it would be uqjust to deny
them universal suilrage. They would all lie
equally capable of discerning tbe true Interests
of the body politic, and equally desirous of pro
moting them. But tills is not true of our coun
try, norol any other on the globe.
A few years ago the elective franchise was
limited in all the American Slates. And this
limitation or restriction is essential to the health
ol the body politic. Most of the States have
now abolished these restrictions, aud the ten
dency is towards universal sutfrago.
Universal suffrage is tha dream ol Utopian
theorists; it Is the prolific source of {actions dis
cord ; it begins in folly and ends in ruin, Ames
said a good deal, when he said, “Faction and
enthusiasm are the instruments by which popu
lar governments are destroyed." All history
testifies that those governments whoso powers
were generally diffused amoug the people, were
the weakest. They traveled along the same
pathway; passed through tha “upper and nether
mill-stoucs" of contending factious, uudured the
horrors of anarchy, and in the end, yielded to
the iron rule of military despotism. This sad

In the course of a month or two, it is probable
that tbe Georgia Constitutional Convention will
commence the long-delayed work ot reconstruc
tion. What doe* this body intemf doing 7 Ev
erything. What will they do? Quieheabtf—
Rumor says that tho Convention will diatran-
cldse a large number ot- whites, and enfran
chise the black race. Rut this is merely rumor.
It can hardly be possible that the white mem
bers of the Convention will rimaeut to degrade
their own friends and brethren, l,y placing them
under tire rule ot their former slaves And even
if they had fallen so low as to entertain the
thought, eclf-ihtercet alone would restrain, and
smother the devilish iutent.. No, it is altogether
improbable Hint the white citizens of Georgia will
bedlslrauchised; in the flsrt place tlie white mem
bers of the Convention are aware that tlie enlight
ened public sentiment, not only of the North, hut
of tlie whole civilized world, would frown upon
such an act, and brand them with everlasting
infamy. And secondly, they dare not do this
“deed without a name," lor tear tlint their sable
co-adjutorx would turn upon them, alter a while,
and mete out to them tin- same fate.
The members of this Convention are nearly
all new men, unknown to fame, and it is natural
that they should desire to make their debut in
public lile well all possible splendor aud eclat.—
We have a rigid to expect from this Iwidy some
of the ratest legislation that ever* originated in
tbe human brain, iu Hie expressive language
of Domine Bumpson, it will be “pro-dig-l-ousl'’
Historical examples should be thrown ■ away
upon the representatives of great “moral ulcus,”
who compose the approaching Convention ; they
look upon all that is venerable and time-honored
with supreme contempt. But the temptation to
oonclud* this article with a philosophico-histori-
cal example Is irresistible.
Cheops desired to peipctuutc iiis name iu the
remembrance of mankind, and therefore he
built a pyramid. A vuln project, you will say.
Quite right, hut tlie sensible manner in which he
went about its execution, redeems halt ol its
folly. The pyramid was broad, firm, and solid
at tlie base, and tapered regularly to its apex.—
Had Cheops rcjucted Hie teachings ot experi
ence, and in Ids crazy desire to produce a nov
elty, built an inverted pyramid, beginning with
a pointed base, and gradually enlarged its dimen
sions as it continued to rise, Hie outraged laws
ol gravitation would have sent tbo whole fabric
tumbling about hi* ears, and buried him beneath
the ruini of his own monument.
Now tho moral to lie druwn from the above is
this!
If the Convention, in their desire to dis
tinguish themselves, disregard tlie voice of ex
perience, and erect a political structure, plnciug
the intelligent few at the boltorn, and elevating
the iguoranl, many to Hie topmost height of
power, they will have a kind of inverted pyra
mid, far more absurd iu design and execution,
than that which Cheops had too much sous* t o
build. II the incompetent architects era crushed
beneath the fall of this anomalous fabric, the
people will not mourn them long.

Tb* Reeovsrr oT •<■• Haapten Family
fewelrv,
Yeatefday morning a young and rather ver
dant looking man entered the jewelry store of
Meesrs. Smith A Lyons, and offered lor side n
gold curb-chain. After some questioning tlie
chain was purchased by the proprietors oi tlie
store st regular prices. The man then produced
s ladies' diamond pin and ear-rings to mutch,
for which be offeree! to take $12. This was also
purchased. Leaving Hie store lie was gone a few
minutes when he returned, Hud producing a gold
chain with a diamond in the side, lie off red it
also tor sale. Ouo of tlie firm, Mr. James A.
Lyons, suspecting the property w*s stolen, sent
out to find the Mayor, while the other partner
kept the man in conveiaation. One of tlie police
returned to thu store wttli tlie first gentleman,,
and utter some conversation, nrrested Hie man.
He produced two gold watches, one of which
had the name of “W. C. Preston, 1852,” and “M.
Hampton, 1817,” on the ease; and also, a mag-
nificeut gold bracelet, witli a very large solitaire
diamond in it, set in blue ennme), anil a broken
gold pen holder. He first gave his name as Rob
ert Marion McClain. In regard to the jewelry
lie had told several storieR, but the most proba
ble one is that lie found it iu a box, with a large
lot. of silverware, near a small stream in York
District, Sooth Carolina. lie admitted Hint lie
knew hv tlie name who tlie probable owners
were, liut could not give any very good reason
why ho had come all the way to Knoxville, irom
South Carolina, to dispose of it. The jewelry is
mostly old style, but is very valuable, parties
versed in the prices ol such urliccs estimating it
as being worth $0,000 to $8,000.
Mayor Lnttrel! sent a telegram to tlie Hamp
ton family, nt Columbia, South Carolina, inform
ing them of tlm arrest and recovery of the jew
elry, no 1 a dispatch has been received Irom
t\ udu Hampton claiming tlie property aa his,
and requesting tho Mayor to hold the prisoner
nmi the jewelry until lie could get here.
In the box with tlie silverware, the prisoner
says, ure a large number ol papers.
Appeal from Atlanta.—Mr. A. B. Sharp,
of Georgia, is now in this city endeavoring lo
raise funds lor the erection of a house of wor
ship in Atlanta. He comes endorsed hy fifty
merchants of that place, and hy the pastors oi
its various churches. He ha> also strung recom
mendations Irom Hie Rev. If. Fuller and tlie
Rav. Franklin Wilson, of this city.
Atlanta is now tlie moat thriving inland town
of Georgia. It i* already fifty per cent, larger
than it was in 1880, and would have increased
even more rapidly but for the effects of the luck
less devastation ami ruinous destruction visited
upon it nt Hie close oi tlie war. its citizens are
struggling bravely, aud gradually building up a
valuable business. They have themselves sub
scribed one-liidf tlie nmoiiul required lor the
purpose referred lu. Tlie many persona here
who arc directly intcrc;,led in tin* success of
Atlanta, and who are cliutilably Inclined to this
object, will find .Mr. Sbarp's announcement in
auother column.—Baltimore Qaietlt.
Mrs. Bidpons as Lady Macbeth.—To Miss
Edgeworth, Mrs. Bidilon* relates tut Incident in
her career which il was worth going a long ways
to hear from her own lips; “She gave us tlie
history of her first-acting ol Lady Macbeth, and
of her resolving, in tlie steep scene, to lay down
Hie candlestick, contrary to the precedent of
Mrs. Pritchard und all tlm traditions, before site
began to wash her lunula and say, “Out, vile
spot!” Sheridan knocked violently nt her dour
(liiriug the five minutes she had desired to have
entirely to herself, to compose her spirits betore
the play began, lie hurst in, uud prophesied
that she would ruin herself forever if she per
i levered iu lids resolution to lay down Ihecsndle-
stIrk. She persisted, however, in her determi
A Terrible Story.—In one oi the Cincin
nati papers we have a story which, worked by a
master hand, would make a thrilling dime novel,
and we recommend it to tlie masterly hand ot the
cliiel in that department of literature, whoever
he may he. Two girls, one sixteen and the other
eighteen, handsome, accomplished, aud of spot-
less reputation, left their mol bet ’s house, and
were not lieurd ot tor several dHys. They were
at length found iu s house ol ill-fume, and taken
to tlie police office. Here they displayed what
the papers characterize tis a cold effrontery, liut
Wlmt seems to us ttte coolness ot despair. The
elder, lately a teacher in oneot the public schools,
spoke for both, ami iu everything that site said,
her sister appeared to sustain her. She stated
that she bail lmd enough ol tbe school-rooms —
that her mother had abused her lor years, and
Hint she had taken this last step deliberately, und
did not Intend to retrace it. Shu would not un
der any circumstances, go buck to Iter home —
Her sister could do so if she desired to. The
sister appeared to lie offended tlint a liiut of such
a desire on her part should be uttered, and finally
stated that site would iollow her elder sister.
From the Chiefs Office Hie girls were taken
to tlie office ol the School Board, where they
were contronted by their grey haired mother.—
They met her coldly, and responded to her tears
and'eiitreatie9 by reminding her that since their
Itillier's dentil, aud up to the hour of their flight,
site had abused them, and had frequently said
sliq did uot care how soon tlie eldur one left in r.
Cold as icicles they sal there before their weep
ing mother nud half a dozen men, uud adhered
to their terrible choice. They were threatened
with the House ot Reluge, nud finally with being
locked up all night in jail, it did not move them.
Shame, prison bars, anything seemed preferable
to tlie home rendered lmlelul hy years of abuse
and ill-treatment.
Was there ever a more terrible story than this?
Is it not a tearful lesson ? Parental restraint and
parental guidance are necessary. Without them
children are apt to go wrong, und tlie parents
neglecting them may find all hopes wrecked
through their false luduigeuce. But there is such
a thing as pulliug the bow too lightly, when tlie
string breaks, and ruin follows.—Aeu> fork Cou

Terrific Hurricane on the North Pa
cific Coast.—Tlie United States steamer Ossip-
pee was nearly wrecked on tlie night of the 2SHi

in the most terrific hurricane witnessed on that
