The State Constitutional Convention*,
Now that the smoke has cleared away
from the great national battle-field of the
nation and we find that the eonntry is
about again to pass under the peaceful
and benign control of the Democracy.it is
time to turn onr eyes to Georgia and ask
what can be done to better the condition
of our own State. In the first place we
do not live under our own constitution.
We have for several years been living
under a constitution formed by onr ene
mies and forced upon us by the pressure
of the times. The time has come when
onr citizens can assemble in convention
with none to molest or to make them
afraid, and it will be the duty, as we hope
it will be the pleasure, of our legislature at
their next session to call a convention of
the people to form a Constitution for
themselves. The numerous amendments

meut of the next session of Congress.—
In this conference each member is ex
pected to tell his experience and give his
advice what to do next, as they all feel
that they are in a terrible condition and
that something must be done, and that
quick. It is intended to rope Grant into
this conference and compol him to deny
1 hat he has now, or ever had, any notion
of running again for the presidency.—
lint wo prodict they will never be al>le to
get Grant into any such meeting, nor
wiil they get him to deny being a candi
date for a third term, because he intends
to run for a third term if ho lives. He
ridicules the idea that the question of a
third term injured the party in the late
election, and cites them to facts that in
South Carolina, where he was nominated
for a third term, his party was victorious,
and in Now York and Pennsylvania where
his party repudiated a third term, they
wero defeated. Every indication from
the President shows that he intends to be
a candidate for the presidency again and
that he is not discouraged in the least by
the lato elections Ho does not admit
that the reverses of his party wero caus
ed by anything that ho had done, bnt
lays all of the blamo on CoBgress. We
suspect that tho leaders in Congress will
resent these imputations on their con
duct and try to ship tho blame to the
President. Tho people will decide that
both are guilty and turn them all out to
gether. Hut during the quarrel between
the President and liis party we may ex
pect same rich developments, and many
a rascally exposure may be expected from
both sides. Ben Butler also says he has
been betrayed by his political friends and
ho threatens to tell some awful tales and
make some disclosures that will make
somebody’s ears tingle. Altogether wt
may expect some fun at the next session
of Congress. But of one thing the
country may rest assured. Grant intends
to be President again, if he can.
So we want a Standing Army in
timo of Peace ?
This is an important question which
the people of tho United States should
ask and answer. In tho pure and eco
nomical days of the Republic our people
were very jealous of a standing army.—
Then we were weak as a nation and had
many more hostile tribes of Indians in
our immediate neighborhood. Now, when
we are strong and the Indians have been
in a great measure subdued, it is difficult
to tell what we want with a large stand
ing army when wo are at peace with all
the world, except a few weak tribes of
Indians. Our army, small as it is, costs
an immense sum overy year, which comes
out of tho pockets of tho people, and
what good does it do ? Instead of being
used to protect onr citizens on the fron
tiers the soldiers have been used to over
awe and harrass the people of tho South
and prevent them from voting the demo
cratic ticket : and in the case of Kellogg
the army has been used to place a tyrant
and usurper over the people and to drive
from office tho legitimate Governor of
their choice. In short, for several years
the standing army has been a potent in
strum cut in the hands of tho Adminis
tration to oppress and enslave tho people.
There is no necessity for a standing army
and it is tho duty of every friend of civil
liberty to vote against keeping up a use
less an<l expensive establishment which
can at any time bo used to oppress and
enslave the people.
‘‘In the SKidst of Counsellors there is
Safety.”
If Solomon was right when ho wrote
the Proverb at the head of this article,
then the Democratic party is safe, fir
thero is no lack of counsellors and advisers,
each one anxious to give advice to the
Democracy in this its hour of triumph
and of peril. There seems to be a gener
al impression that the Democracy when
they take control of the government will
commit some error or make some blnnd
er which will agaiu deprive them of thocon
fidenee of the people, and this is the only
hope now left to the Republicans. Vice
President Wilson comforts himself with
the hope that before tho next Presidential
election the now victorious Democracy
will commit some blunder that will ruin
them with the people. What grounds
have they for such an opinion? "We heard
it charged last summer at the north if tin
Democracy was placed in power the South
ern wing of the party would demand pay
for their emancipated slaves. But the north
ern Democrats denied the charge. If
they should do that it would throw the
Democrats again into a minority, for the
Northern people would never consent to
be taxed to pay for southern slaves and
any such movement would not only be
unsuccessful at present, but would ruin
tho party. We hope the Democracy have
loamed wisdom and prudence by adversi
ty and will do nothing rash to destroy
the conlidoneo of tho country in them, for
it is on the Dcmocraiic party row that
every hope of a republican form of gov
eminent depends. And why should any
one distrust them, they had control of t’a<
government for a long time and the couu
try prospered nnder their guidance, and
it is to be hoped they are not less wise and
prudent than they were fifteen years ago.
But are they honest? Ah! there is the rub!
Some of them voted for back pay and
every man that did that needs watchs
ing*
The
l.iey have seen the attempts which a
former legislature made to amend it and
they want no more of such botch work.
Tho last legislature were evidently afraid
to trust the people. The present legisla
ture haa been elected under the purer
light of a brighter day and they may
profit by the mistakes of their predeces
sors.

A Visit to Washington Bounty.
Editors Union and Recorder :
I made a visit to Washington county
last week and found the people cheerful
and happy since their County Fair, the
week before. There was so much said
about the pleasant company and inter
esting and amusing scenes and incidents,
it made me feel sad not t<> have been
thero.
In some portions of the county fair
cotton crops have been made. Average
crops havo been made in the neighbor
hood of Warthen's Store.
I saw Mr. T. C. Warthen's two acres
of Cluster Cotton. Mr. W. has picked
five and a half bales, and half bale more
to open. The weed is as large as last
year but not so well fruited—badly in*
jured by the storm in August.
Mr. Warthen had forty acres of thin
sandy land in his Prolific Corn, and says
'ie made twenty-one bushels j per acre,
with only a little cotton seed to the hill.
He is an industrious and enterprising
young man.
I again saw Mr. A. Smith's Berkshire
pig—did not grow much during and af>
ter the hot spell in August—weighed
235 lbs. at five months old, time of the
County Fair and took the premium.
I attended Magnolia Council, U. F. T.,
Friday night A fine looking crowd was
present, mostly young members. All
appeared zealous in the cause of temper
ance. Alter going through with the reg
ular order of business, and a few re
marks, for the good of the order, by a
visiting brother, Mr. Charlie Mitchell,
who had been appointed to speak, re
sponded, and gave us a very interesting
address, urging all to bo more zealous in
the cause, and the ladies to go forth with
renewed energy, as they seem to be un
conscious of their controlling influence;
and they should not encourage or coun-
tensnem young men in drinking The
2d degree was conferred on five members
from Camp Springs Council, as they have
a charter to work in that degree. Mag
noiia and Camp Springs Councils are am
bitions to accomplish all the good poasi-
ble for temperance.
On my return home I stopped at Dr.
Carr’s Monday night, where a fine colleo
tion of young people had assembled to
have a social party. I was well enter
tained by the many beautiful and charm
ing young ladies from Washington and
Baldwin counties, in innocent plays and
social ch3t—some enjoying a little dance.
The night soon passed off finding nearly
all there at the break of day.

MiLi-Zix)kyiiak, Ga., November 8th, 18»4.
The Annual Meeting of the Baldwin
Connty Bible Society vaa held this day
in the Methodist Church, all the churches
in the city uniting.
At'll O'clock A. M.. the sermon was
preached by the Rev. G. T. Goetchiue, to
a larga and appreciative audience
text was from the 119 Paalm, 129
The Bible a iconderftd Book waa the
theme. It was shown to be wonderful in
its origin, wonderful in its preservation,
and wonderful in its effects. It has
never been onr pleasure to listen
to a more entertaining and instructive
sermon. The speaker certainly show
ed himself to be master of his sub
ject, displaying a knowledge of the
history of the Bible seldom, if ever, attain
ed by one of his years. More solid mat
ter could scarcely be condensed in a aer..
mon of ordinary length, and the whole
was delivered in a style and with an en
thuaiaem that held his audience spell
bound. Ws have heard many excellent
sermonsfrom Mr. Ooetchius,butwe have
no doubt this was tbs master effort of his
life.
After the sermon the Rev. W. A. Parks
offered a fervent prayer:

ealls attention to the fact that aft * March
4th the Radicala art net likely to have
more than ten majority in tlm Senate.
This can be overcome by a gain of six
Senators in 1876. The terms of twenty-
five Senators expire March 4. 1877, and
whose successors are to ba determined
by the elections held in tha fall of 1876.
Of these twenty five out going Senators,
fifteen are Republicans, and the defeat
of four of these is absolutely certain.
They are Clayton, of Arkansas; West, of
Louisiana; Frelinghnysen, of New Jersey,
and Cragin, of New Hampshire. It is
very probable that, in addition to these
four, Logan, of Illinois; Harney, of Kan
sas; Ferry, of Michigan; Windom, of Min

of Nebraska, and Howe, of Wisconsin. ■

At last we begin to see daylight in the

that the north for many yean has been
overwhelmingly republican, and that the
truth has been misrepresented by the
carpet baggers imposed upon the people
by military violence, the democratic
strength in*the United States senate sunk
down to less than a dozen members. But
for the last two or three years we have
bean securing heavy reinforcements. The
south has been diligent in weeding out
the carpet-baggers, putting democrats in
their places. In the north, too there has
been a great revolution. Tha United

The recent politicial revolution is so
collossal and astounding that people can
not fully comprehend its magnitude till
they withdraw their gaze from the whole
and look at it in some of its mere signifi
cant particulars.
In 1872 the states of Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, which extend
in an unbroken line from the Atlantic!
coast to the Mississippi river, and every
one of which Grant carried, gave an ag
gregate majority of 397,000.
This fall these seven states have all
gone against Grant by an aggregate ma
jority of 133,000.
The history of politics in all the free
states of the world does not furnish a
parallel for so great a change as this.
In the present honse of representatives,
elected two years ago, Grant secured

Gsx. Nathoisx. P. Banks writes : “I
accept the important results of tho elec
tion which has just closed in Massashu-
setts, as in other parts of the country,
not only with satisfaction, but with a
feeling of thanksgiving, in the fullest con
fidence that they will be need for the
reunion and pacification of estranged
sections of the Republic, the restoration
of its prosperity, and the protection of all
classes and races in tbe enjoyment of all
their rights. "
The chances of a rupture between the
President and Congress are very threats
jning, more especially if the conference
should develop an attempt upon the part
of Senators and Representatives to foroe
.’ie responsibility of the party defeat
apoa the Executive. If such hostility
should become positive, somebody's back
bone will bo broken, and Grant is capa
ble of making a tough fight to preserve
the proper curvature of his political spine.
The South is in an excellent attitude

which leads to the flood of fortune.

| The ostaeomha of Paris are simply the
receptable of the bones of s number of
the grave-yards of the city, removed to
vast quarries in the southern part of the
town, and consecrated with great solem
nity iu 1786. They are thought to con
tain the remains of at least 3,000,000 of
human beings. The long galleries, lined
with boncB from top to bottom—the arm,
leg, and thigh bones, and the grinning
skulls piled in front—make one of the
ghastliest exhibitions I havo ever witnes
sed. When I had gone through these
dismal corridors, and extinguished my
torch as I emerged from the darkness,
I fancied that all the people of the Conti
nent must have been interred there.
Those hidden vaults are really dangerous.
There are manr chasms yawning along
the journey, and the roof looks aa if it
might fall in at any moment There is
imminent peril, too, of being lost unless
J rou keep close to your guide, and once
ORt, there is slender hope of your recov
ery. Tbe effect of th* light and shade
cast upon the skulls rad bones and drea
ry walls by the burning tapers was such
as to make it appear that the broken
skeletons were getting themselves togeth
er, and striving to join in a hideous dance
of death. Some of the jaws seemed to
wag, rad the eyeless sockets to wink at
onr melancholy procession as it filed by,
our voices awaking dismal echoes that
sounded startlingly unnatural- There is
something grimly grotesque in the jour
ney through the catacombs, and persons
of a nervous temperament seldom feel
tempted to repeat the experiment J sm
not surprised that men who. have been
lost there for leas than twenty-four hours
have been made insane by the indefinable
horror of their sitoatian.—Harper's
Magazine.
The average value of the trade between
Paris and the United States is said to be
somewhere near §75,000,000 per annum.
This estimate, however, includes the sum
