The Flnnnctnl Italn of Georgia.
It will he seen in our telegraphic col¬
umn that the Mulatto Convention has
taken the first grand step towards the
financial ruin of Georgia. After deci¬
ding upon the removal of Gov. Jenkins,
the Augusta Ring has succeeded in get¬
ting an endorsement of Bullock, the
man selected as his successor. This plot
which has been studiously laid and in¬
ducted, with the full knowledge and
consent no doubt of John Pope, has
been so far successful, as only to need
the action of the Military satrap to
make its consummation complete.—
When this news is flashed to the
financial and commercial circles of
the country it will carry consternation
with it. The credit of Georgia, which
has up to tiiis time stood unimpaired,
must fall. Those who, trusting to the
well known integrity of Gov. Jenkins,
have invested in tho bonds and securi¬
ties of the State, will fed, and justly
feel, that notwithstanding the wonderful
resources of Georgia, that they now
hold no good and sufficient guaranties
for the return of the monies which they
have invested. The Banker and Mer¬
chant who hold Georgia bonds, will
know that when the Slate Government
is turned over to the hands of an urihri
died mob of hungry adventurers and
niggers, and that rich Slate property
the Slate road is given over to be plun¬
dered by a pack of irresponsible vaga¬
bonds, that the security for the payment
of the plighted faith of tho State is
gone. We can see but one way in which
the threatened danger may he averted.
Gen. Grant still has the power to con¬
trol John Pope, in the matter of remo¬
vals from office. If lie will use this
power promptly and vigorously lie will
put the people of Georgia under a last¬
ing debt of gratitude. No other power
can save our people and this we invoke
in the hour of our direst distress. We
cannot hold out to them the hope of re¬
lief in the removal of Pope, which is
again bruited in political circles. While
we would he glad to exchange him for
Franklin, Reynolds or even Thomas,
neither of whom will believe him upon
oath, yet we have reason to know Unit
neither of these officers would so lower
his own self respect as to occupy a posi¬
tion already disgraced by Pope,
We have reason for the statement that
Gen. Meade lias threatened to resign
his commission in the army, in prefer¬
ence to I lie acceptance ot any position
which would compel him to become in¬
strumental in the execution of the infa¬
mous military edicts of the Ruma Con
gross.
If then Gen. Grant should not inter¬
fere to save the people of Georgia from
this new and unwarrantable outrage and
oppression, we may soon expet to see
the political offices and patronage of the I
State and its rich revenues divided
among the unwashed rapscallions who
compose the majority of that unconsti¬
tutional conclave now in session at At¬
lanta.
Even while we write the mandate
from Military Headquarters may be on
Us way to Mtfiedgeville, commanding
the able, honest, and patriotic Executive
of Georgia to vacate the position con¬
ferred upon him by the people, iu favor
of a man unknown beyond the narrow
limits of his own bailiwick.
The hounds may be unleashed already.
If so. God save the State.

CiiisEMLNT. — On Tuesday, the Hon.
Joshua Hill, on moiiou of a Conserva¬
tive member, was tendered a seat in the
Atlant Convention. The night of the
same day he returned tho compliment
in the course of a speech at a public
meeting, which is thus characterized by
the Iutelligencerof yesterday :
The speech of the Hon. Joshua Hill,
a: the City Hall lust night, was most
extraordinary disjointed; ‘ in many "respects, It
and was rambling, disconnected,
without shape or form. He in¬
formed his audience, composed princi¬
pally of tho white and negro delegates,
that he had loved tho Union from his
infancy, and lor that reason, had been
pronounced by a distinguished Geor¬
gian, “a fool.”
lie said that at oue time he had been
in favor of Georgia adopting the Con¬
stitution of Massachusetts, upon the
subject of suffrage ; his mind, however,
had undergone a change. It was now
aud necessary to enfranchise the “loyal”
Georgia. proscribe the “disloyal” men of
The speaker told his hearers, and
much to the delight, of the Yankees pre¬
sent, that he had determined in the be¬
ginning of the war, if the Confederates
were longer successful, the South would no
be his home, lie believed, how¬
ever, that the cause would fail, and
thauked his God that it did tail.
We have not time, or space, or incli¬

the Association adjourted. sine die , at
C o’clock, p. m.
The proceedings of this meeting was
exceedingly expected interesting, as might natu¬
rally be from an assemblage
of cultivated minds, all prepared to dis¬
cuss the subjects brought before them.
Many very interesting speeches were
made, and some of tlie reports are valu¬
able. Ideas that will operate beneficial¬
ly upon the minds of the teachers were
envolved, and the enthusiasm of all
present was inuch increased, The
members will go home more determin¬
ed in every way to elevate the standard
of instruction.
A committee was appointed to examine
text books and endeavor to attain a uni¬
formity in all the schools of the State in if
this respect—a very important move,

The assembly was composed of many

easily he assembled in our State. The
proceedings were characterized by an
agreeable freedom, without undignified
informity, and left upon the minds of
feelings of the most pleasant nature.
