FERENT KINDS OF LOVE.
Love is an innate emotion of the liu-
j man mind, and cannot be subjected to,
: or reasoned out of existence by the mere
jforce of reason. It is an instinctive
principle and an involuntary passion; a

force than reason. Reason ; Our legislation costs us too much—great-
than half what it does; and this can and
should be effected by reducing the num
ber of the members of the legislature.
We should not have more than 25 or oil
Senators and 75 or 80 Representatives.
If tJiis could be done, I believe the legis
lation would be better for the people and
at less than half the present cost.
I see that some one in the Atlanta Con
stitution newspaper is again. t the hold
ing a Convention because', as ho seems t
think, the making of a new Constitution
will remove from office all the office-hold
ers in the State. I hope that no one will
be so selfish and so stupid as to oppose
a Convention on that account. A new
constitution will not necessarily take
from any man any office, and if it did,
could not and would not the same men.
if worthy and competent, get the same
offices? Surely no one will be influenced
by such an argument as that
And then too, many valuable changes
could, I think, be made in our Judicial
system. I, myself, want to see a change
in the manner our Judges and Solicitors
are appointed. I do not want them ap
pointed by the Governor on the advice ol
the Senate. I never did want them ap
pointed in that way. I do not by any
means, join in the hue and cry against

’ suffice to precipitate upon us utter and
irremediable disaster. And yet the ex
penditure of a hundred or two thousand
dollais (perhaps not more than, if so
much as, the cost of a single session of
the Legislature) is seriously urged as a
price too great to be paid for the erection
of a constitutional rampart against ra
parity, bankruptcy and rain.
I confess that this argument of the cost
of a Convention, upon which its opponents
ring their everlasting monotone when ad
dressed to a people who, in happier days,
were accustomed to tho usages of free
government, and who but recently, aftei
a long and dreary night of oppression
offices are to be exercised, and who arc
less liable to bo deceived, mislead or cor
rupted in bestowing their suffrago for
men to fill these offices ?
But I write for your paper to be sent

HE FAVORS A CONVENTION.
Perht. Ga.. DecY. 22d, 1873.
Editor pnion & Recorder:
My Dear Sir:—I wns a subscriber to
the old Southern Recorder over forty
years The late Richard Orme, so many
years its Editor, was an honest, honora
ble. truthful and patriotic man, and Chris
tian gentleman. My remembrance of him
,md of his spotless character is pleasant
to me. The consolidation of that paper
frames wherein the louses are set some
times, there is a shocking revelation of
oil age in their use. We have Seriptual
authority for saying that “age is honora
ble;" but we have our own authority for
saying that (in ourself, at least) old age
is abominable.
But away with spectacles We have
just learned how to dispense with them!
A blessed doctor named Foote, of 120
Lexington Avenue, N. Y., has devised a
pair of little cups made of box-wood, to
fit exactly over the rotund closed eye,
connected together by an India-rubber
tube from which is a branch tube. The
branch tube is just long enough to insert
between the lips of the venerable sufferer
who wishes to rejuvenate his eyes; the
cups are placed over the pupils of the
eves; and he (or she) sucks away very
much after the style of imbibing certain
agreeable beverages through a straw—
except that the imbibition in this instance,
j consists in mere, atmosphere. But the
I suction reaches the eye-ball; its rotundity
! —the rotundity of youth—is restored;
the perfect vision returns, and with it. the
coveted youth, and the contempt for spec
tacles
orient beams of another cLiwn of eivi
liberty—does not so cm to be even specious
—it does not rise to the dignity ol
sophistry. I beg to be understood a;
not intending to reflect upon the intelli
gence or integrity of the able and honoi-
able gentlemen who urge it—but the facl
that they are able and can present no
argument more respectable than this a-
gamst holding a Convention is to me t
strong argument why it should bo held.
Let there be no fear that the trifling
expenditure of money necessary to de
fray the expenses of a Convention would
be an extravagance. It would be a meas
ure of economy rather. Von might Wit'Ll
as much propriety call paying your pre
mium upon a policy of insurance to pro
tect your property against firo an extrav-1
agance.
Tne s’iddenees of our redemption from
Radical rule by the election of a Domo-
icratic Legislature and Executive illus
trates the imminence of the danger which
a single election may bring upon ut

when it was a crime to be a naAive Geor

when the reeking fumes of the wards ol

It is estimated that the new Constitu
tion of Pennsylvania has been adopted by
at least 150,0 J0 majority. We will not
hear so much, after this, of the ring ras
calities in Philadelphia.
• The Kentucky Legislature on "Wednes
day passed a bill providing for the calling
of a constitutional convention to revise
the organic law of the State.
The State tax in South Carolina this
year has been fixed at 15 mills on the dol
lar—calculated to yield a revenue of $2,-
654.347.
at a cost of a million, or more, dollars to
our people—-a people already heavily
stricken with poverty and burthened with
high taxes—when we already have in
Milledgeville s grand and most suitable
old State House now ready for the recep
tion aifad return to it of the Representa
tives of the people in their representar-
tivo capacitv, where they long and often
ntefin days* of old and legislated for the
good, the wellfare and happiness of the
people—in the good old days of Troup
Forsyth, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Schley, Me
Donald, Crawford, Towns, Johnson and
Jenkins. Without any prejudice against
or objection® to Atlanta, i want to live
to see the legislature of Georgia meet in
their old time-honored, comfortable and
suitable old Capitol. And all the argu
ments used against it on account of the
expense of holding a convention is fully
answered and overcome by the fact that
if the seat of government remains at
Atlanta, we shall soon have to build an
other State Hbtise that may cost us five
time* more than the holding a convention
wiB. And-then *bo, there are, as I think,
mnn'i tlr^tftl’ICMQIft why a convention
should be oft&dd, and among them, allow
del to mention one or two in addition to
moving th® sent of government back to
Milledgeville:
•* We nieah much said about the present
shortly have to be erected in Atlanta, if | his tent, for Brisri was evor^his) had been
the seat of government remains there; ’ rTn tU *“
that the money invested by the people in
the beautiful and substantial buildings at
Milledgeville has been thrown away : that
the people of Atlanta have never fulfilled
their promises to those who abetted the
fraud : and that the whole thing from in
ception to consummation, so far as con
eerns the parties pecuniarily interested, is
as thoroughly corrupt and damning as
any ring fraud that this generation of
easy virtue has developed.”
“The Nows is certainly mistaken in ’ f s
assertion that a “ new capitol will shortly
have to be erected" in this city. The
charge against Atlanta in regard to the
fact that she has not complied with her
obligations in this mattor is simply gratu
itous. The people of this city are incapa
ble of any conduct that would reflect se
riously upon their integrity. They have
done all they promised so far as they have
been able to do so.—Atlanta Herald.
The Herald admits a bet in part (nnin
tentionally however) in the last sentence,
and makes a statement it cannot sub
stantiate. Atlanta has not done what she
promised to do—the records will Bhow
this. She not only failed to comply with
her agreement, but is not able to do it.—
Her people abetted in the carpetbag and
negro fraud in moving the Capital, and
are now doing all they can to fasten it
down forever upon the tax-payers of Geor
gia. They know that if the Capital re
mains in Atlanta the tax payers of Geor
gia will, ere Jong, have to build another
Capitol, notwithstanding we already have
one in your city. If the citizens of the
State wish to hold a convention and con
sider the matter, why should the citizens
of Atlanta raise such a hue and cry about
it—why should they manifest such anxie
ty about itl Messrs. Editors, they know
that when that question i® left to the xojb
oi the tax-payer® they will vote for the
capital to go back to your city, where our
forefathers, in good old honest times, lo
cated it North Georgia will rollup a
large majority for your city-
I have talked with a great many people
in reference to this matter, in this section,
heard. There with inimitable arace and
dignity Mliler had presided over the Sen
ate ami Jenkins over the House. There
too, the polished and elegant Johnson,
tho sagacious and eloquent Stephens,
Toombs, who had
"T-tk^n nectar on Mffh Olympns,
Ami migiity mead ifl VaIRaIU”—
Hill, with hie silver eloquence, and Cobb,
the petted child of genius, had instructed
and delighted the people of their native
State. There our fatnars had gathered
in council and ruled -.vith “ wisdom, jus
tice and moderation.” The traditions ol
tne proud, the happy, the glorious past,
were garnered there. There, too, were
government buildings that were good
enough for us when we were great,
wealthy, happy and free, which had just
been put in excellent repair. No doubt
could bo entertained but that an over
whelming majority of the people were
opposed to removal. But a large portion
of the wealth, the refinement, the virtue,
and intelligence of the State was either
exiled or ostracised, and the remainder,
listening to tho suggestions of anill fated
policy, kept away from the polls. Phae
ton had taken the chariot and horse® of
Phoebus and was driving with reckless
madness and ignorance. Now was the
auspicious time to remove the capital and
make the removal permanent by making
it part of the Constitution. The people
have never been satisfied with this remov
al. It was not their action. It was against
their wishes. Why not give them an
opportunity to be heard ?
I beg in this connection to disavow any
sentiment towards Atlanta other than
kindness. It ha® been my privilege to
enjoy her elegant hospitality, and many
dear and valued friends claim Atlanta a®
their home. I rejoiced to see her rising
from the desolations of war, like Phoenix
from her ashes, to newness of life and
beauty, and I take pride, a® a Georgian,
m her growth and increasing importance.
Nevertheless, I think the capital should
be moved back to Milledgeville. The
Opera House could well supply the defl- .
ciencies of DeGive’e—though tf it should l
fa l and crush an assemblage of Atlanta’s 1
Ho had come impressed with
he idea that Washington was a rather
. tigh priced place for a man to live in, and
,o, to save expense, he packed his whole
lamilyinto one hack, at nice o clock in
the evening, and ordered the driver to
proceed to Willard’s. Arriving at the
no tel, they paid the hackman. ordered
their tranks off, and trudged wearily half
isleep, into that famous caravansary. The
nusband, wife and four children were
escorted into the supper room, after which
elevated by the coffee and the elevator,
they were carried beyond the jurisdiction
jf the board of public works, to rooms
under the roof. We wiBli to explain here
that as one gets near heaven he gets
! further from theboard that excavates only
and is not odorless either. When the
.rood lady entered her bed-room, she en
countered the nurse, and both exclaim
ed:
“Where’s Bobby?”
“Why misses, " said the nurse, I thought
vou had him. ”
“Nancy!” screamed the Mrs. M. C.,
“didn't you fetch him in?"
“No, mum. I had the three carpet sack®,
die cloaks and baby's clothes, and I
thought you had him.”
Now Bobby was the baby, and the
frightful discovery was made that the
oaby had been left in the hack. There
,vas a frantic rash for the elevator and
die stairs. The insane M. C. tried to
jnrst open the door so as to precipitate
uimself down the well. He them palled
iway at the bell until he broke it; then,
shouting “fire,” rushed down after his
wife and four children, who, by this time,
vvere in the clerk's office, trying to make,
he corpulent and amiable Mr. Bagley
understand the horrible situation.
Some one suggested the telegraph, and
ill tho police stations were advised of this
oss of congressional infancy. But th®
worst part of it was that the crazy represen-
ative could not remember the number of
die hack, and hacks are not remarkable for
iiieir ready return of lost parcels. W®
never had bnt one sent us, and that was
i volume of the president's message with
accompanying documents.
In the meantime the unhappy husband
nade a short excursion into the neigh
borhood. He hurried through the hacks
ju the hackbtands and had ad the retired
■onvicts who drive those vehicles volun
teer to go and search for the iost child for
iwo and a half an hour. Each one was
eady to make affidavit that he knew th®
lack, and one Irishman, who ought to
lave- been hung long ago, swore tnat he
leard the child cry as tne hack drave by.
/ram the hack-stand the husband hurried
;o Newspaper row and stirred up the
3ohemians to the highest pitch of ex
citement by his tale of woe. The cor
pulent Bamsdell sat down and wept: Ad-
uns blew his nose, while Boynton phi-
osophically remarked that the Iobb of a
>aby was somebody’s gain, and Preston
iddedthatit was a loss easily repaired: and
so the night wore on.
What became of that hack, with th®
precious little burden, is the most inter-
resting part of the narrative. It seems
that our old friend Zach. Chandler, the
jreat Michigander, who goes mooning a-
bout at all sorts of late hours, found him
self on Fonr-and-a-half street in such a
slate of abs nt mindedness that hi ouldn't
ceil where he was or whereheouguttobe.
in these emergenoncies he instinctively
calls a hack. All the hackmen in town
know the great Michigander, and, entirely
regardless of what he orders or sayB, they
invariably drive him home, stopping it
all the sample rooms and bars on the way.
On this occasion he halted a hack, and gat
ing in, said as he did so;
“Takeme'omedamnyou.”
Sitting down upon the back seat, he
was startled by a wild cry that almost
sobered him. This will sound like exag
geration. but it's a fact. It came very
near being a case of spoiled child, for old
had hinged two hundred pound® of
of senatorial beef and whisky on the lost
hild of the lower house. He smarted up
with such violence that his head struck
the top of the hack, nearly bouncing the
driver off his seat, more, however, with
astonishment than jolt.
Old Zach, resolved himself into an in
vestigating committee, and sitting down
on the front seat, felt round. He gathered
up the child, and for a minute sat turning
the situation over in his gigantic intellect,
then sticking his head out the window, h®
shouted with that voice which has made
the British lion tremble:
Drivergo’omequick—I've-got-a baby.
A® the infant continued its screaming,
the driver had no doubt as to the truth of
t-hia startling revelation, and so he tore
along the street at a frightful rate, con
sidering that ins team consisted of one
vicious kicker and one runaway. Pulling
up at the palatial mansion, the great
Michigander tumbled out and rushed in
with the child in his arms. Presenting it
to the astonished Mrs. Chandler, he said:
“Hosts tranary'foir.—sot-down-b&by-on
hack. Going-to-depot-him.”
The good lady did not receive the new
comer with the same enthusiasm, but sent
for a policeman, not to arrest the senator,
but to remove the encumbrance. Through
this means the poor little waif was return
ed to its frantic parents.
We are happy to say that both Chan
dler and baby are as well a® could be ex
pected.
