A Constitutional Convention.
In to-day’s issue we publish two
articles on the above question, one
from the Monroe Advertiser and the
other from the Chronicle & Sentinel,
both in favor of a Convention to mend
our present Constitution. We believe,
outside of the city of Atlanta, that
ninety-nine out of every hundred in
telligent men see aud feel the necessi
ty of altering and amending our pres
ent carpet-bag Constitution. Travel
which way you please, east, west,
north or south, and nearly every man
you meet is in favor of a Convention.
The question then comes up, why
can’t we have one ? A large majority
of the members of the Legislature
were in favor of a Convention when
they first went to Atlanta, but after
they had been there a few days some
of them began to doubt. The atmos
phere of Atlanta bad produced a re
markable change in their mental or
moral condition. They knew their
constituents wanted a Convention, but
there were some men in Atlanta who
.did not want a Convention, aud the
arguments of the Atlanta men were
more powerful with them than the
voice of their constituents. The peo
ple should instruct their representa
tives on this subject, and strengthen
and fortify their constitution so that
they may be able to withstand the mi
asmatic influence of the Atlanta
mosphere.

AUantn Chivalry.—-Modern Duels.
It is generally believed that the
publicatiou of Dou Quixote put a stop
to Knight Errantry by turning the
whole thing into ridicule.; ^and we
should think that the duels that have
lately l*een gotton up about Atlanta,
and correspondence on the subject
published in the Atlanta , papers, had
completely nauseated the public stom
ach. Formerly when men were
about to engage in a duel the thing
was kept secret from all but the par
ties and their seconds lest they might
be arrested and the meeting prevented.
But in this affair the intention of the
parties was proclaimed beforehand ap
parently on purpose that they might
be stopped. The authorities of Colum
bus and Eufaula were informed,
and were aware of their coming, but
judging probably that there was no
danger, every one seemed disposed to
let them amuse themselves as much as
they pleased. "When it was discover
ed that no one would interfere to pre
vent their fighting, the parties could
never find each other. Whilst one
party with a retinue of seconds, sur
geons and grave diggers, were wait
ing patiently on a sand bank in Flori
da for the fun to begin, the other par
ty was enjoying liis otium cum dignitate
in the State of Alabama, thinking that
the time for fighting had hot yet ar
rived. After waiting until out of all
patienfte? the party in Florida, it is
saiJ, picked up a stable door, aud after
marking the size of- their antagonist
on the door, set it against a tree and
alter measuring off the distance sanc
tioned by the code, drove a ball through
the center of the door. If this is true
the party in Alabama ought in honor
to acknowledge if he had been-. there
in place of the' door he would have
been shot too, but instead of that, he
pertinaciously denies through the
newspapers that he 'has been killed,
either in person or vicariously. And
now the fight has been transferred from
the Florida sand bank to the Atlanta
newspapers, and it has been a wind
fall to the enterprizing conductors of
the Atlanta press. They have served
it up to their readers hot and cold,
and made hash of it. They have
cooked it as many ways as Murat
cooked the Turkey Buzzard, but like
Murat’s bird, itisnotgoot. Still the
■unsavory dish is served up every Sun
day for the readers of the Atlanta
newspapers, until it has soured upon
their stomachs, and produced a chron
ic nausea. But this controversy has
revealed a perfect prodigy in the per
son of Colonel or Dr. Lay. If we knew
which title hepreferred, we would give

The Grapd Lodge of Georgia L O.
G. T. met at Augusta last Wednes
day, in annual session. Four com
missioners of the United Friends of
Temperance presented propositions
for consolidating the two Orders, in
Georgia, which were respectfully con
sidered and decliued. As the former
Order predominates west of the Chat
tahoochee and the latter east and south
of it, the combination would cover
the State. The Secretary’s .Report
shows that the I. O. G. T. have 136
live Lodges in Georgia, with a mem
bership of 4,212, and that 30 of these
136 Lodges have been formed within
the past year. It also shows that 10
Lodges have transferred to the U. F.
of T. Whence we infer that 91 of
the 107 Councils of the latter Order
have been formed within the past year.
The growth of the I. O. G. T. from
106 to 130 Lodges, within a year, is
thought to be “flourishing ”—the
growth of the U. F. T. from 16 to 10/
Councils is equally gratifying, as evi
dence of vigor in a great Charity.—
The U. F. T. claims a total member
ship of about 6000 in the State and
100,000 in the Southern States.
The “inevitable nigger” seems to
have crept into the counsels of the I.
O. G. T. to disturb. And the Grand
Lodge at Augusta sundered their con
nection with their Supreme Head, and
called a convention of Good Templars
of the South to determine what next.
Below we copy their resolutions :
“Reports being called for, the Com
mittee on the State of the Order pre
sented the following:
•In view of the action of the R. W.
G. L., at its last session, with reference
to negro Lodges of Good Templars,
be it resolved that the W. G. L. of I.
O. G. T. of the State of Georgia—
1st. That we emphatically dissent
from said action of the R. W. G. L.,
deeming it not in accordance with its
former decision on this matter, and
not in accordance with the interpreta
tion thereof given to us by our esteem

G.C.
2d. That this Grand Lodge elect
delegates to a convention to be call
ed by the Grand Lodges South, to
confer upon this grave question, with
power to act for this body in such
manner as in their judgment may
seem best.
3d. That this actio# be communi
cated by the G. W. Secretary to such
Grand Lodges as are yet to have their
annual meetings, and to the G. W. C.
T. of such as have already met, leav
ing the time and place of said conven
tion to be determined by such corres
pondence.
4th. That until such conference can
be had, and concert of action be
agreed upon, this Grand Lodge sus
pend all affiliation and connection
with the R. W. Grand Lodge.
5th. That we exhort the subordi
nate Lodges of this body to cleave to
their organizations and their work; to
hold good the vantage ground already
gained; to cling together in th@ spirit
of fraternal love and forbearance until
this unhappy question can be settled

For Urn UnAfl*JL, order/
Sp«*eh “On a fiew Land and Labor
System for the South,”—By Col.
McKinley. N r ;
We have before us, in pamphlet
form, the above discourse. The name
of its author is sufficient guarantee of
its excellence. Col. McKinley has
been long known to the State as a
gentleman of enlightened views upon
all subjects which could enlarge the
interests of his beloved Georgia.
Many years ago, when the present
band of rising politicians were in “lead-
ingstings,” Col. McKinley “held listen
ing Senates spell bound,” with his elo
quence.- Ever the advocate of liberal
views, Georgia would have benefited
herself, had she followed in many in
stances, the advice of this distinguish
cd gentleman.
Like Cicero, he is noted for elo
quence, learning and profound ability,
and we hope the State will yet show a
proper appreciation of his services, by
placing him either in the Gubernato
rial Chair or National Senate. Col.
McKinley’s distingue bearing and ele
gant manners, would make him a man
of mark in any court of Europe.
The “New System of Labor” for the
cotton States, has been most ably
advocated by Col. McKinley, before
the “Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety.” This speech displays an
amount of erudition and practical
knowledge of the subject under dis
cussion, seldom met with. He por
trays in vivid colors, the present sui
cidal labor system, and traces with a
bold, but truthful pencil, the horrors of
the dark future. He conjures you
with a rare eloquence by all that you
hold sacred in the past, by all your
hopes of the future, to seize the
present moment, and make.a new sys
tem for the South. Such is the deep
import of his language, that you can
TfMl and VirjfUM*. V
Who It#* qpt read the* fqpahilig story
of jplaul aud Virginia 2 Whoever has
not shed over its tnagio^pages tears
of sympathy with the sorrowing, and
has not been thrilled by its passionate
passages, has never read the volume.
Its readers well know that the story
is located in the Island of Mauritius in
the Indian Ocean, and that its inci
dents arc (in the main) facts. Mons.
Dc Pcrumon became Paul, and Madam-
oiselle Mallet became Virginia in the
hands of Bernardin de St. Pierre, the
author of this unsurpassed story.
A tourist in the interest of Harper’s
Magazine has lecently visited this
wondrous island, pen and pencil in
hand; and the result is that a charm
ing sketch with numerous illustrations
appears in the October number now
before us. The first of these illustra
tions is a magnificent jet d'eau created
by the forcing of the ocean-waves by
tempests into a rock-bound fountain
through the apex of which a jet of
water is thrown to an immense height.
Nothing else like it is found on our
globe. Other illustrations appear,
and the entire article, indeed the whole
Magazine, is full of interest both from
reading matter and engravings. The
Editor’s “Record” for the past month,
Scientific and Historical, are replete
with interest of paragraphic brevity.

A Conatitutional Convention.
The Monroe Advertiser calls for a
Constitutional Convention to frame
such an organic law as will suit the
needs and wishes of the people of the
State, the Advertiser hardly takes us
with it in declaring that, “Like the
testaceous covering of a mollusceous
animal,the constitution of government
should conform to and fit the living
mass within.” We have never heard
a State Constitution compared toe
crab’s shell before, but the Advertiser

SPONDENTS.-—The alarm felt through
out the country at the suspension of
Jay Cooke & Co., was made particu
larly manifest vesterday, says the New
York Sun, by the receipt of numerous
telegrams at the post office from the
South and West, requesting the post
master to withhold the delivery of let

and addressed to Jay Cooke & Co-
Postmaster James found that he was
powerless to comply with the requests,
as section 172, chapter 9, of the pos
tal regulations, provides that “after a
letter has passed from the mailing of

vented or delayed by the . alleged wri
ter.”
The right to detain letters in tran
sit was first raised in February last,
in a case where "the First National
Bank of Buffalo telegraphed for the
stoppage of a mail packet addressed
to Mills & Gibbs, 412 Broadway. The
Post Office Department instructed
Gen. Jones, the late postmaster, that
after a letter left the mailing office it
passed from the control of the writer,
and must be delivered to the person
addressed if he could be found.

Should Col. McKinley’s* sugges

bloom in everlasting verdufc; for
Georgia alone can produce,* by proper

to the condition of Jamaica, or Hayti,
Islands once flourishing, now nothing.
Although our own race is more en
lightened, yet our present labor sys
tem will make our condition analogous
to that of Mexico. This country, un
der the Aztecs, was a beautiful and
fertile laud, full of agricultural re
sources, supporting a teeming popu
lation, with no help from without.
Now having a labor system somewhat
similar to our own, its resources are
totally undeveloped, and it actually
imports nearly if not all its provisions,
when it could produce every luxury
and comfort known to man. Alas!
The glory of Montezuma has departed
forever. The mighty Aztec no longer
lingers in the streets of his beautiful
citv, and bis wondrous country of
Mexico lies at the feet of the Castilian
conqueror, its life blood oozing from
every pore. Such, as Col. McKinley
has shown in words of glowing elo

South if it does acT’&njnee in the
right direction

'Flie Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says Jay
Cooke’s failure did not surprise some
people of that city, who had watched
his career closely for several years
The other banking houses at Washing

solvency some time, and itigg’s bank,
for one, made it a rule never to hold
a check on Cooke even for an hour
They were collected right away. In
short, adds the correspondent, “ there
is little excuse for anybody of ordinary
sagacity losing money with the Cookes.
Mr. Knight, a director of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, told me three months
ago that Jay Cooke was passing over
the critical months of his career, and
that there was the barest possibility of
his survival, dependent wholly on the
sale of his railroad bonds in Europe.
Mr. Hamilton G. Fant, a banker of
Washington, told me only a fortnight
ago that Jay Cooke had not madeacent
sincethewar, that in a single operation
of Cooke in New York, namely, Mari
posa stock, the firm had lost seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, which
frightened E. W. Clake out of the firm;
and it is well known that Governor
Cooke’s mansion at Georgetown has
stopped at the foundaton ever since the
same event. Mr. Cooke’s villa property
is of an extensive character, and at a
time like the present would not bring
above half a million dollars, although
he has upwards of one thousand acres
in it. About ode year ago he cut down
his large retinue of servants, committed
the housekeeping to one of his married
daughters, aod stopped his former lav
ish hospitality. It was observed also
that at Cape May this summer his fam
ily stopped at a small cottage hotel
aud dispensed with a carriage.”

As a proof that women would be

ing au example of all the loveliest Christian virtues,
dispensing her charities, making glad the hearts of
the suffering and afflicted, aud keeping herself “un

DIED,
In Baldwin county, August 23d, 18/3, Agnes, third
daughter of J. Wesley and Mrs. Kate M. Bonner,
aged 3 years and 10 months.
It has ever beeu ft deep mystery why God should
remove the young and strong, the pure and .holy, and
spare the weak and infirm, the vile and ungodly.
The Christian lias this strangeness made plain by
remembering a Kind Father sees best tor liis children
and never Wounds but to heal; yea in the midst of
wrath He remembers mercy.
Dear little Agnes may not return unto us but we
may go unto her.
She’ll Do?—Tbero is young lady
in the Western part of'this county wha
has maketed from the first day of May
to September first, from six cows, 311
pounds of fine butter, besides supply
ing a large family with as much as
desired. Two good porkers have been
raised and fattened on the buttermilkj
[Exchange.
Undert'lopvcl Vigor.
The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they are in
a more hopeless condition than they really are. The
resources of nature are uot ea.-ily exhausted. Even
when strength and appetite fail, when the eyes
heavy aud lustreless, the eomplexi >n pallid, the uerves^
tremulous, the body attenuated, aud the uiind depress
ed, there is generally a reserve of latent power be
hind such palpable evidence of weakness. \ arious
modes of treatment are resorted to by physicians in
the hope of developing and rendering available this
store of sleeping vitality, but the sorest, and indeed
the only thoroughly gafo^and reliable means of awak
ening the dormant euergies of the system is a course
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Electricity, shower
baths, the flesh brush,sea bathing; &c., may be well
enough in their way, as auxiliaries, but they do not
reach the source of the evil. All physical debility pro
ceeds either from a derangement ot the functions oftl^e
assimilating, secretive and vital organs. #r from a slug-
glish constitution. In either case, and also fu cases
where both causes exist, the Bitters will iu variably
produce an immediate and salutary change in the con
dition of the patient, and eventually effect a complete
care. None of the dangerous alkaloids, too often ad
ministered as tonics, can be otherwise than deleterious
under such circumstances, and to give mercury is pos
itively criminal. The direct effect of the great vege
table specific will be manifested iu au improved appe
tite, a more ohoerfal frame of mind, a gradual return
of strength, an in crease of flesh, and a healthier edm-
plection. Meanwhile, however, the constitution, if inert
and feeble, will have been roused and renovated by
the subtile element of invigoration contained in the
Bitters. G ina*

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by PERRY
DAVIS SON hat- won for itself a repu atioh unsur
passed in medicinal preparations. The univeriility-of
the demand for the Paiu-Ktiler is a novel, interesting,
and surprising feature in the history of this medicine.
The Paiu-Kiiler is now regularly souL iu large and
steadily increasing quantities, not offiy’ti general
agents in every State and Territory of the Union, aud
every Province in British America, but to Bueuos
Ayres, Brazil, Uragnay, Peru, Chili, and other South
American States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba
and other West India Islauds;to England an J Conti
nental Europe; to Mozambique, Madagascar. Zan
zibar, aud other African lands; to Australia, and Cal
cutta, Rangoon and other places in India. It lias also
been rent to China, and we doubt if there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia, which is
frequented by Amer'cau and European missionaries,
travelers or traders, into which the Paiu-Killer has not
been introduced.
- The extent o! its usefulness is another great feature
of this remarkable medicine. It is nut only the best
thing ever knows, us everybody will confess, for
bruises, cuts, burns, &.C., but for dysentery or cholera,
or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsur
passed for efficiency and rapidity of action. Iu the
great cities of British India aud the West India Is-
btuds and otlier hot climates, it has become the stand
ard medic’ne for ail such complaints, ns well as dyspep
sia, liver complaint, and other kindred disorders. For
coughs an i colds, canker, asthma and rheumatic d'.ffl
culties, it ha beeu proved by the most abundant and
convincing trials and testimouy, to be uu invaluable
medicine. The proprietors are iu possession of letters
iroui persons of the highest character and responsibili-
tv, testifying in unequivocal terms to the cures effect
ed and .lie satisfactory results produced, in and end
less variety of cases by the use of this great medicine.
Thattiie r’din Killer is deserving of all its proprietor:
claim, for it is amply proved by the unpuralled popu
larity it has attained It is a sure and effective reme
dy. * It is sold in almost every country iu the world,
nnd is becoming more and more popular every year,
Its healing propel ties have been fully tested, ail over
the world and it needs ouiy to be known tube prized.
