been Ukaa, wo villlay I ie who 0 h. or* <*v j arrangement appeared In meat the approbation
renders. of the delegates from the cumties nsiued, but
The 18th Section of the lat Article of the
present Constitution, disqualifies every person
from serving as * Senator or Representative,
who shell be convicted of “hiving given or
offend* any bribe or treat, or eauvnaeed for
such election," and disqualifies lor one year
thereafter, from holding e seat in the Legisla
ture, any unsuccessful candidate, who shall
have offered any tribe or treat or canvassed to
secure an election.
The 19th Section further requires all mem
bers eJeot to swear that they have not obtained
their election by 41 bribery, treats or canvass
ing," before taking their seats.
Iostoad of these two sections, the revision
Committee have recommended the following:
“Every Senator and Representative, before
taking bis seat, shall taka an oath or affirma
tion to support the Constitution of the Confed
erate States and of this State; and also, that
l.e hath not practiced any unlawful means, either
directly or indirectly, to prscure his election."
Wa approva of this change. We are deeply
sensible of the eorruption and demoralise ion
of treating and canvassing for votes, as prac
ticed by many candidates, and should rejoice if
it could be effectually prevented in someway;
hut Lha practice is not half so demoralising as
for a man to do these things while a candidate,
„nd then go to Milledgeville and swear on the
Holy Evangelist of Almighty Ood, that he has
done no such thing. This practioe must be cor
rested by a wholesome public opinion, or it
never will be done. If the people are sufficient
ly demoralised to vote for any man who will be
guilty such ofundignified or dishonorable means
to procuring on election, there will always be
found men who will take such places at their
hand by such means, and then swear they
have not done so. This evil can ouly be cor
rected by the people-the source, not only of
all power, but likewiee of all virtue. If the
fountain be impure, the stream will be also.—
If we want men to go to the Legislature who
will not swear falsely, we must vote for men
who are sufficiently honest and honorable to be
abovo such low conduct. If we send good men
to Milledgeville, Ihore is no need of requiring
an oath that they have not abtained their elec
tion by improper means. If we send bad men
there, no oaths or Constitutional obligations
will bind them.
Public virtue aloue can put down tbis vice,
wbicb experience baa abundantly shown.
Another provision recommended by the
Committee is as follows: The Legislature “may
alter the boundaries of counties and establish
new counties; but every bill to establish a new
county shall be passed by at least two thirds
■if the members present in both branches of
the General Assembly."
We heartily endorse this amendmeht. The
facility with which counties havo been multi
plied, for the last ten or fifteen years, needs to
bn checked. It has become a great nuisance.
It provides that the Governor may veto any
part of an appopriation bill, without rejecting
the whole bill—another wise provision.
It forbids tho Legislature from granting cor
porate powers or privileges to any private com
pany; prohibits the changing of names, legit
imating children, or establishing bridges or
ferries; but provides that these thiugs shall bn
done by the Courts, in a manner t> bn pre
scribed by law. Banks, insurance, railroad,
canal, plank road, and telegraph companies,
are exceptions to this rule.
It prohibits the Legislature from authorizing
bank suspensions, except by a two-third vote
of both branches.
The Legislature is prohibited from loaning
the bonds or money of the State, or pledging
its credit or resources for the encouragement of
any private enterprire, except by a two-thirds
vote of both Houses.
Tho African Slave Trade is prohibited for
ever; and lha Legislature is authorized to pro
hibit the introduction of slaves from any State
except that immigrants shall be allowed to
bring their slaves with them.
It provides that the Judges of the Superior
Courts shall be appointed by the Governor, by
und with the advice and cocsentof tho Senate,
for the period of six yoars, instead of being
elected by the people. The Solieitor Geueral
and the Attorney General for the State (a new
officer provided for) shall be elected by tie
people, and hold their offices for four years.
It provides that tbo Constitution shall not
Its amended except by a convention of the peo
ple called for that purpose.
In oar next issue we hope to be able to tell our
readers what bas been the action of the Con
vention on the Committee's report.
biipsriiiteudeut of Public Printing.
We notice that George E. W. Nelson, Esq., at
present the book-keeper and accountant in the
office of the Augusta “Constitutionalist," has
been appointed Superintendentof Public Print
ing by President Davis. Mr. Nelson is a na
tive of South Carolina, where ho learned the
printing business. He hae resided in Alabama,
Mississippi and Washington City, and was
foreman of the “Constitutionalist" office for
many ytars.
We know Capt. Nelson well, end are very
sure that e better selection for the important
post could not have been made.
California.
There are iatiaatioae of Secession in Cali
fornia. The Chairman of tke State Commutes
of one of the political partite in the State, has
railed e meeting of the Committee to consider
the perilou# condition of Use country. Re saji:

Califs—la remain with the.Jiin.SUlMA.iLs
it wee voted down
On Thursday morning, Mr. Tidwell, of Fay
ette, moved to reconsider so much of the jour
nal of yesterday as relates to the action of the
Convention in adopting the majority report of
the Committee on Senatorial Districts.
The Chair stated that, in bis opinion, a re
consideration of tbis part of his journal might
influence the whole arrangements of the Sen
atorial District#.
Mr. Tidwell supported his motion for recon
sideration, wishing to have his minority report
adopted as a portion of the plan. Some of the
Districts in the upper part of the State did not
exactly suit the delegates of those counties.
Mr. Glenn hoped the motion would prevail.
Under the plan adopted yesterday, the coun
ties of Fulton and Cobb were both in one Dis
trict, and Marietta and Atlanta waged a sort
of “ irrepressible conflict" with each other, and
he feared, unless those counties were put into
different Districts the entire vote of each coun
ty would be given against ratification.
Judge Rice, of Cobb, entertained similar
views as those expressed by Mr. Glenn, and
favored a reconsideration.
Mr. Singleton hoped that the motion wculd
not prevail. He did not like exactly his own
district, but be believed if the subject'were
once opened again, the Convention might sit
for a year, and appoint a Committee every day,
and still there would nlways be some to ob
ject.
The motion to reconsider was voted down.
Thus, it sppears that we are not to have our
Districts arranged os we would like. We hope,
however, that Mr. Glenn’s fears will not be re
alized. If the question bf submitted to the
people, we advise them to adopt it, whether it
suits us or not. If the arrangement should
not be agreeable, or not work well, we can get
the Legislature to make the necessary chang
es. By all means, let us adopt the principles,
the plan of this much needed reform, and look
to the arrangement of unimportant details
hereafter.
Texas.
By reference to a telegraphic dispatch from
New Orleans, which we publish to-day, it will
be seeu that Sam Houston has been summarily
ejected from the office of Governor on account
of his refusal to take au oath to support the
Government of the Confederate States, and to
carry out the acts of the State Convention.—
This was not unexpected to us. Old Sam Hous
ton is the most unscrupulously ambitious man
weaver knew. He was willing for Texas to
secede, but was opposed to her uniting with
the Confederate States. Ifo wants Texas to set
up on her own hook, and to place him at the
head of affairs. Henro he haa steadily used
every effort to carry out his disorganising and
sel fifth schemes.
On the 6th of this month, he transmitted to
the Convention a communication, denying its
right to do anything further than pass tbeordi-
nauce of secession, and submit it to the people.
He Intimated that the Convention did not rep
resent the will of the people; and announced
that he would recommend to the Legislature,
(which was to assemble on the 18th instant,)
such measures of policy as he thought proper.
It was on account of tbis letter of his, in which
he intended to prorogue the sovereign Conven
tion of the State, before they consummated a
union with our government, by sending dele
gates to the Montgomery Congress, that the
Convention passed an ordinance requiring all
State oTcers to take an oath of allegiance to
tho Confederate States, and to carry out, in
good faith, the acts of the Couvention. Hous
ton refused to take it, and was very properly
removed from the office. He had actually gone
so far as to commence raising troops and ap
pointing officers without authority, for the pur-
]>ose of setting up the State of Texas as an inde
pendent republic. We think the Convention
hni acted wisely.
The Capitol.
The Columbus Enquirer is urging the claims
of that city to having the Capitol of the Con
federate States looated there. He says it should
not be located in the interior of any one State,
but on or near the line of two States, as
was Washington; and that it it at the head of
navigation on the Chaltahooche, at the mouth
of which must be the principal naval station
of the government, Ac., Ac.

Iu a preamble and resolutions, they express
the opinion that a fair i/idioation of public
opinion was Dot obtainad in the late cledion in
that Bute, wherein they voted against the as
sembling of a Convention Kf a very small ma
jority—a little over 600. This is attributed to
the fset that delusive informatioa as to what
the Peace dongress at Washington was doing,
was circulated all over the State, just at th#
time of holding the election ; and that its fi
Dal propositions, an unjust and dishonorable to
the South, had not been made public; neither
hud Old Abe’s Inaugural been promulgated.—
The Convention expressed the belief that the
u honor and the vital interests of North Caroli
nu require her immediate connectiou with the
Government of the Confederate States.”
They believe the proposition to hold a Con
vention of the border States, or to establish a
Middle Confederacy,as “calculated to distract
public attention injuriously, and to separate
the interests of the Slaveholding 8tetes;" that
it is, “in the nature of things, impracticable
and unnatural"—" a delusion and a sham.'
They call for a Convention to be held at
Goldsboro' yesterday and to-day, “ for the pur
pose of mutual consultation, and to adopt such
measures as will secure the end proposed. We
will keep our readers posted on this matter.

has given notice of au appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Both houses of tbo Legislature have ogrrel
to go into a joint conveutiou on the 9th for the
election of a United States Senator. No caucus
nominations will previously be made by any
party. Mr. McDougall’s partial nomination
by the Douglas democrats is being still ad
hered to.
The general tenor of advices from Sacra
mento maintains the election of either Danvor
or McDougall is hardly possible, and that if
any election takes place the successful candi
date must be some new man not yet prominent
as an aspirant.

■reply ot Mra Thompson to Mr. Holt*
The National Intelligencer of the 18th cun-
tains a caustic respotipe from Mr Jacob
Thompson, late Secretary of the interior, to
Mr. Holt, who recently reviewed the conduct
of the former in an ex parte and, as it appears,
gratuitous statement of the facts. The fol
lowing extract, which comprises the principal
portion of the letter, does not reflect very
creditably upon the portiea to the Star of the
West expedition in any point of view :
On the iid and 4th of January ultimo, in
ply to the interrogatories from Judge Long-
street, of South Carolina, a devoted Chris
tian sod a man of peace, I telegraphed to' him
no reinforcements had been ordered lo Fort
Sumter, and, in my opinion, none would be
sent if the authorities of that State would re
frain from an attack on the fort. Judge Long
street thereupon addressed a written appeal
lo the Governor and those officially associated
with him, basing his argument on Ibis infor
mation, to withhold the first blow. It had its
effect; an attack was not made. On the morn
ing of the 7th, the Constitution newspaper
contained a telegraphic dispatch from New
York that the Star of the West had sailed fro
that port with 250 soldiers on board, bound to
Fort Sumter.
This was the very first intimation I had re
ceived from any quarter that additional troops
had been ordered or sent.“This information to
me was not 44 official ;" it was a fact conveyed
with electric speed to every part of the Con
federacy, known to be true by every well in
formed man in tbe city of Washington as soon
as known by roe. While engaged iu wriliug
my resignation iu the presence of Judge
Black, then Secretary of State, a dispatch
was reoeived from Judge Longsireet, making
inquiry as to the sailing of the Star of the
West with additional troops. Honor, truth,
justice to myself and Judge Loogstreet re
quired of me the reply I made, that the Star
of the West had sailed with reinforcements,
and ought theo to be in Charleston.
1 make this statement for tbe reader, not
for Mr. Holt; because Mr. Holt knew when he
asserted that I, “ while yet a member of the
Cabinet, disclosed to those in open rebellion
againtt the United StaUt information which 1
had derived fiotu my official position, and
hich 1 held under the seals of a confidence
that, from the beginning of our history as a
nation, had not been violated," he uttered n
vile falsehood aud calumny.
But Mr. Holt inserts in his communication
my letter of resignation and the President’s
reply—tbe very point in issue in which was
that this expedition of the Star of the West
was fitted out without my kuowledge, io vio»
lation of an express understanding. But when
tbe President admitted, in his reply, that he
expected my resignation when his decision
was mado—and as I did not resign, of course
I did not understand him as he i bought he had
expressed himself—and as I well kuew the
acting Secretary of War, in his eagerness to
crush out those win in he considered “in open
rebellion," was ready lo seize upon any loose
expression of tbe President to justify himself
in adopting any suggestion of General Scott
which he supposed would effect that end, I
did not choose to push a controversy with the
President involving a question of veracity.—
But if Mr. Holt inteuds to be understood, by
quoting tbis correspondence, that this order,
which the President claims to have made, was
the “official" information held by me under
the seals of confideuce, and whioh 1 communi*
cated, I prooounct him a dishonorable aud un
qualified falsifier.
All my correspondence with the Preside.it
has never been published, and I append a copy
of that portion which has uot yet been printed,
aDd hope you will insert it in your paper as a
part of this letter.
On Wednesday, 2d of January, tbe question
of sending reinforcements to Fort Sumter was
formally discussed in Cabinet. The letters of
Major Anderson were read and as the infer
ences drawn from them were different by the
several members, the President decided (bat a
special messenger should be sent lo Maj. An
derson to learn hie true condition, and suggest
ed to Mr. Holt several interrogatories to be
propounded to him. This conclusion was
resched, as admitted by every member of the
Cabinet. As soon as this question was d.j
posed of Ihs reply of tbs South Carolina Com
missioners was taken up, read, and rstnrnsd
After that the conversation was desultory, and
if the President used the expression that “re
inforcemeutri must now be sent" it is certain
that neither Judge Black, Gov. Thomas, or
myself beard the remark.
These ere the only two members of tbe Cab -
inet with whom I have had a special eoaver-
sation ou this particular subject. U ia certain,
however, the then acting Secretary of War,
moved upon by Qea. Scott, did inaugurate
this eeeret expedition of tho Star of tho West,
with the belief that he oould throw twe bun
dred and fifty soldiers into Fort Sumter by
stealth. It is also certein tbet tbe President
ordered the tending of the troops to be errest-
ed, end entrneted tbe cerrying out of this
countermand to Mr. Ifolt. It Is also certain
this order of (he President wss made in full
time to havo arrested the expedition if all par
ties had promptly discharged their duty. It
Is certain that it did eo happen that (he Star
of the West set seil without receiving the erder
of countermand, and H is certain that after her
return to New York U was evident to ell that
the eendiog of her wes a great mieteke. I
deal with thwlhcte, not the reasoning, involv
ed fa the transtcrioa. It ie further certein
that history wilj not record this expedition ea
one of thoeo brilliant strategic movements
whioh will mark the military carter of tha
