~jl constitution a t. t osrt:\ Tiox.
This continues to be the prominent
theme of discussion by the Press of the
State, and n majority of our exchanges
favor the calling of the Convention. The
object of the discussion is to elicit public
sentiment for the information of the leg¬
islature soon to assemble. The definite
proposition is that the Legislature, at its
next session, shall make the call and pro¬
vide for the Convention.
We are no better convinced than we
were when wo last noticed this matter,
that now is the proper time for calling a
Convention, but we arc fully satisfied
that it ought to be called and will be call¬
ed at an early day. No one can fore¬
tell whether the year upon which we are
about to enter will be one of continued
hardship nnd monetary stringency, or
whether business will quickly resume its
activity and industry regain its prosperity.
We do not know whether there will be
money in the State Treasury to defray
the extraordinary expenses of the Conven¬
tion, or whether uuother loan will have
to be resorted to.
] saying this, we do not, wish it to be
understood that wo are influenced by the
extravagant estimates of the cost of a
Convention which some of the press op¬
posed to it are making. Some suy it wtl!
cost $130,000, and some $200,000 or
more, and they refer to the “Reconstruc¬
tion" Convention of ISO’S as an example.
But that Convention Rhould lie no criteri¬
on, for the simple reason that it was con¬
trolled and managed aud its session pro¬
longed by de’ogntes, a majority of whom
made the plunder of the State and the
people their paramount object—carpet¬
baggers, negroes nnd others who paid no
taxes. But in 1865, a Constitutional
State Convention of the real people of
Georgia—representatives of the property
holders nnd tax-payers of Georgia was
held, and was managed aud controlled by
such men as Chailea J. Jenkins, H. V.
Juhnson, Hines Holt, A. H. Chappell,
Cahiuess, Phil Cook, Joshua Hill, John T.
King, H. C. Walker and others, and this
Convention passed various ordinances
necessary to our new stute of affairs since
the close of the war, and adopted a far
better Constitution than the one of 1868,
and the cost of this
CONVENTION IN 1865
was but $45,366 35—the Convention be¬
ing in session but I t days, and the mein
bora (301) voting themselves $6 per day
and $4 for every twenty miles of travel.
We can see no necessity for any future
Convention consuming a longer time than
two weeks, but say that the next one
should sit three weeks,then the cost ought
not to be over $60,000.

In tho Conventions heretofore held, in
addition tho number of Representatives
of each country, ono member to the Con¬
vention has been allowed each county for
a Senator. There being but 161) members
of the House of Representatives in 1865,
there were but 301 members of the Con¬
vention at. that time. But at present
there aro 175, and 180 counties, which
will make 311 members to the next Con¬
vention, if tho old basis of representation
is adhered to. lint why should not this
number be reduced by allowing Senatorial
delegates only for (be 44 Senatorial dis¬
tricts, or be still further reduced by hav¬
ing no Senatorial delegates at all, or oven
bv grouping counties into Representative
districts, if that is not a proposition that
would defeat tho call of a Convention al¬
together?
THE TEX A S S Q UA B Jt L E.
We have already mentioned the f‘ict
that tha defeated party in Texas row' dis¬
pute the regularity of the late election,
and of *‘prolongation ’
raise the same cry
that has of late years become .so common
at the South. The New Orleans Pica¬
yune of Friday has this special dispatch
on the subject :
Houston, Texas, Dec. —Trouble is
anticipated regarding the validity of the
State election. The Radical officials die
hard. It is rumored to-night that the
Supreme Court will decide against the
legality of the late election on account ot
an informality in the manner of con¬
ducting it. Some of the liad:cat officials
of this county could not he found when
the candidates elect demanded their seats.
Possession, however, was taken, nnd at
the same time the law was complied with.
A L ARAM 1 NEWS.
Mr. S. Corzelius states, in a Montgome¬
ry paper, that one of the members of. the
Alabama Legislature (a white man, too.

Friday, on route for Texas.
A motion for a new trial in the case of
Parsons vs. Busteed, made on Thursday

“RILING A CANAL.”
Some of (he New Yolk prints are seri¬
ously discussing a project to keep the Erie
canal open this winter by means of steam
pipes, running its entire length and kept
full of steam by stationary boilers at reg¬
ular intervals along side of the canal. A
good many of them seem to consider this
proposition a feasible one, and perhaps it
might be so if they could fall on any plan
to first utilize the steam for tho purposes
of propelling the boats. canal kept
But then if tho were open,
the lakes and t he river which collect and
receive tho freights at either end would
be closed, so that very little benefit would
result from the operation. On the whole,
the proposition seems about as chimer¬
ical as that other one to dissolve the
snow and ice obstructions at exposed
points on the Great Union Pacific Rail¬
road with stationary burning glasses. It
is bard to tight against nature, aud the
result of such battle is seldom doubtful.
The sensible way is to build both rail¬
ways atid canals in more southern latitudes,
where they can be utilized all the year
around.
Will some statistician furnish the people
with a just estimate of the annual loss
by the closing of the great Erie canal
route during the five cold weather months?
Will he also givens the figures showing
tho annual cost of keeping the Union
Pacific railway opeu, and the annual loss
by detention of trains by snow? Both,
we are iticliued to believe, will be found
to amount to handsome dividends from
those gigantic investments, aud leave the
remaining seven mouths to operate ex¬
clusively on expense account.— Macon

CLOTHING,
At a reduction of 20 to 25 per cent, on former whole¬
sale cost prices, which will enable them to sell at less than
Cost prices for the same class of goods purchased earlier
in the season. As we were able to get a still further re¬
duction of from 5 to 6 per cent, for the cash, we will sell
at corresponding low prices. Now is the time to buy good
Clothing at lower prices than ever sold in this section.
