It was much regretted by a large portion of the people of Georgia, that the Legislature, at its last ses sion, failed to pass a Bill, which was introduced into the Scnato by Judge Reese of Wilkes county, to submit to the people of Georgia the question of the adoption of a new Constitu tion. It failed in that body by a vote of yeas li, nays 20. We have no doubt this result was owing in part to the fears of some that it might lead to an interforanee by President Grant in our policy of lo cal self-government. Tire cases of Louisiana and Arkansas were tlier. j attracting painful public attention iu j our section of the union ; but tliot ; I fears have disappeared, and recently, j North Carolina and Alabama h;;ve ! peacefully held Conventions uad I made very desirable changes in their { objectionable Constitutions. There ! has been no interferanee on the ! J indirectly of ignorant neg j unprincipled scalawags. F j ly for the Stale a few men [ members whose talents a I pride raised them above the political J pedleis in trade, whose only object ! was to obtain power for plunder. ! ' These men in a great ru isure ccn- ti’olled the mechanism of the funda mental law, and saved the State from , degrodation and ruin. But the con stitution was not the work of the people of Georgia. The sword was in power and the wishes of the peo- i pie were indirectly if not directly disregarded by satrap and subjects. It is proper to say that the con- ! stitution as a whole is not destitute of merit. But its chief merit con- I sists in copying from the framers of the constitution which it supplanted. A few leading spirits, having some regard for the credit of the State, perhaps, distrusting their own abili ty, stuck to that, with some illegiti mate exceptions. We thank them for the good they did. We recogs nize their prudonco in this. Still '"it was ostensibly the work of a Radical Convention. Where sleeps the pride of our Legislators, that they recog nize this as the work of patriotic | Georgians ? As well might we rex I cognize the glory of Mahomet in the ! production of the koran, because j much of that plausible work was ! copied from the Bible. It was not - the work of the real intelligent peo- 1 pie of Georgia. Wo take it from the hands of the Folhs, the Vandals, : and Scalawags. What we desire is made by our true and patriotic peo ple. We want it free from trickery, quackery, and radical pretention. Any other constitution subjects us to the charge of obtaining our funda mental law from our reconstruction doctors and enemies. If wc wish to live under home rule and homo su perstructures, we must call to the task our own chosen actors and put on the cup of liberty and govern-- ment which they shall manufacture for this great State of the South.’ Madisoj (Concluded next week.)

There is noth- | mg in this method to draw out the latent talent in the child, and fit i him for the sphere ho was born to till The root of the trouble is that the text hook takes the place of the I teacher. Routine questions are ask ed and the result is marked down m a diary, and there the matter of education is supposed to end. But for this purpose only a machine teacher is needed. The book becomes thc rcaI instructor, and not the liv- ‘“o man or woman who properly should impart knowledge to the pu pil. The scholar answers through ConsHtnf;™ ' tlj< A channel of memory. There °is Constitution nothing to suggest, nothing to im part an idea, nothing to search out and find the responsive chord. To preside at a recitation, to put ques tions and receive answers, to fellow out a specified and rigid rule of ex- animation, is supposed to be the sum of a teacher’s duties, when it is the mere external husk of what should be a living process. It is one thing ; i0 commit a book to memory, and recite its paragraphs with the pre From the Southern Watchman ANNUAL SESSIONS OF Tf^E LEGISLA TURE. Col. John . Wofford has resign- e.l his seat in the Senate, in conse- I (juence of the Courts of his Circuit j coming on during the session of the Legislature. In his address to his constituents, he lias this to say re garding annual sessions : “Aside from all this, the approach ing session of the Legislature is wholly unimportant so far as I know or believe. Several years experience in that body has convinced me that there is no public demand for annu al sessions of the Legislature, and | that yearly sessions of the General Assembly is a yearly wash part of the 1 ederal authorities, nor : public money. In a time of is there the least probability of such a result. Thc people of Alabama, j especially are rejoicing over the im*. : provements which have be-cii made j iu their fundamental law. Tn Mobile I Hon is too much to pay for it a the peace and quiet, when there is nothing but “hard times” to break the mo notony of current events, an annual expense of a $100,000 for ’ a hundred guns were fired in honor of the action of their Convention. | Recent developments have shown j that President Grant ha» become i sick of carpet-baggers, and is much j more disposed than formerly, to J leave to the people of thc South the ! management of their own concerns, i Whether this is so from prudential, or greater patriotic sentiments, it is a recognized fact. Hence this idea of probable interference should no longer influence our Legislators in the performance of a duty which they owe to themselves and their con stituents. Somo were fearful that a convention might make a material change in the homestead laws, or perhaps abolish them altogether. Others that Milledgevillo would bo made again the seat of government. Others seeme' present Constitution is a good one in the muin, and that there is no ad equate reason for a change. Others objected to the expense in these times of monetary stringency. With whatever force these objections may be urged, we ask what right has thc Legislators to refuse to let the people of Georgia decide up on these questions for themselves? Is that body afraid to leave it to the people to say whether they will have a change or not ? Are they afraid to trust their constituents ? Are they ready to say that the people are not capable of self-government ? Is that their real opinion cf the intelligence and patriotism of their constituents? ! Or do they imagine that the intelli- I gence and wisdom of the State are | embodied in themselves ? If so it is j time for the people to take matters j in their own hands or abjectly place j their rights, liberties and fortunes, j in the keeping of their drill-sergeants whom they have selected to issue j their decrees and demand acquiess ; ence. The latter would be a detest- ed slavery, the more disgraceful be- | cause voluntarily inaugurated. We j have been seeking to throw off Rad ical imposition and would in that 1 case, seek a rule not less violative of j all our former opinions, that the ; people are capable of seif-govern- I ment. Look at the question in its naked simplicity. The Legislature was ask ed to let the people decide whether they would have a Convention or not, and it was refused. A proud constituent might regard this as an act of dogmatism on the part of his representative, but if he should he in favor of a Convention, he would be apt to consider it as an insulting and insufferable dogmatism- He dif fers in opinion with his representa tive, but is not the press free, does not the right of speech still exist and does his repreaentative perform bis duty when he says my opinion must govern my constituent He must not think and decide for him self, I will think and decide for him. In these times of For a year or so after Gc... luck absconded, a good deal of law making and investigation v,\ , neces sary in order to readjust the disjoint ed affairs of the State government. But all that has been done, and for the future a session every two years is quite as often as there will be auv ter and page. A poor scholar may recite well, so far as memory goes, ; while one who is to make his mark | world may, under the system of a close following of the verbiage ; of an author, appear decidedly at°a disadvantage. A book of marks, in which the accuracy of a memory is put down, is no fair gauge of a schol ar s attainments, nor is an examina tion, conducted on the same princi ples, any test of his efficiency. The essence of education, the moulding of the scholar for life, is entirely lost lG sight. There are few parents I umong those who have sons and daughters at our public or private schools, that have not been disap pointed at the method pursued- B -to teachers and pupils are the vic tims of text books. The scholar ■ ! -'ings home a pile of dreary books on which he spends the hours when he should be at play, and the teach er is tied down to these straight- j vekets of education. It would be no bad idea to banish all the text books from the schools for a \ ear. I i hat experiment would soon prove ! whether the teachers were fit for 1 their position, and what rank each j Pupil was entitled to take in his class. The following extract of an inter esting letter from Wei-heyn, in the Province of Shantung, appears in the London Times. Mr. Thomas Fergusson, the writter of the letter, : is the principal merchant in Ciiefoo, I arj H is a iso the Belgian Consul at ! that port: “Wei-hyen, Shantung, j (-'hina, May 30, 1875.—I arrived here ! on the 27th inst., after a most inter- | esting journey of two hundred miles through the Province of Shantung; and, though I have had a deal of fatigue, owing to the bad roads and wretched inns, I feel much better in health than when I left Chefoo on the 10th inst. I have traveled in my large consular chair, with four bearers and four more to change, so, in all, I had eight men at my service! I also have a cart for my servant, my trunk, my provisions, and cook! ing utensils, and my bed, for in the inns there are only eggs and chick ens, and in some places fresh fish. I generally started at 5 o’clock in the morning, and traveled till 12, then had a good meal, and started again at 2, and reached my evening resting- place at 6 or 7, when I had supper and went to sleep. This sitting in the chair so long every day was tir- ing, but the novelty of the journey, and the interesting country through which I passed, made me feel it less than I fear I shall do on my return, when the novelty of the affair will ex! ist no longer. I had no idea of what the real China land is until now, or rather my idea of it was incomplete; and now I have seen this admirable country so closely, I feel that it is a most wonderful place in many ways. From the time I left Chefoo until I reached this place the fields of wheat extend on both sides of the road as far That thought of tliee, ami him, and my beloved land, Nerved me to eeaaelees effort. Fearleee, ewitl, and strong, I pressed the foe with the stern braves of my command, Till faltering and shatter’d, they could not pro- ln D g. Thc tight. With one resistless rush they turn’d and tied, In this hour of triumph a bullet pierc ed my side ; 1 iiey bore me off, but faint, yet conscious, as I bled, I felt my life was flowing in the ruddy tide. Gladly would I see my verdant home again, my dear, Fold tliee in my arms, and smoo'h thy soft au burn hair, Pluck flowers lor tliee, hear thy voice so Bweet and clear, Look in your tender eyes and on vour cheeks so fair. Gladly wouid I take from your arms our darling boy, j See its bright blue eyes and rose-dimpled cheeks again, But death destroys the hope ot tasting more that joy, And far away from both, I sink to rest, in pain, Phe shadows thicken; Oh withering thought! Death steals apace to triumph o’er my mortal frame; Would you were here ! but vain that wish—Us all for nought, To die for you, tny child, my home and native land, is fame. Aias 1 two leai ful years have flown since we were wed, And I shall see thee oa this treacherous earth uo more ; farewell my wife! my child! remember me when dead; I tru-t we ll meet agaiu on a celestial shore. S For the Union &, Recorder. MARRIED LIFE—No. 1. hen men return homo and seem to be gloomy and troubled, instead The startling facts brought to light in this city in connection with the whisky frauds have so engrossed our attention that we have overlook ed the scarcely less important pro ceedings of a similar nature in other quarters- M hat has been confessed, and what, besides, is suspected here, is so staggering that we easily im agine that St. JLiouis was thc centre of the whisky ring, and that our city enjoys an infamous pre-eminence in the wretched business. But this may be a mistake after all. "the promise of a San Francisco paper, if opportunity is afforded, to exhibit whisky frauds “before which those of St. Louis and Chicago will grow pale,” and the dispatches of yester day stating that the ring at Chicago defrauded the government out of the tax on two and a half million gallons of spirits, suggest the possibly na tional character of this wonderful conspiracy. This significant feature of the business has already been de monstrated—that the ring was a confederation of distillers and reven ue officials. When wo bear this in mind, and reflect that the vast part nership was formed five years ago; that it extended over the whole coun try, from New York to Sait Francis co, and from Milwaukee to New Or leans; that its operations had all the method, regularity and organization of government business; that it possessed a system of cipher com munication with Washington; that notwithstanding the undisguised boldness of its transactions, Secre tary Bristow’s two latest predeces sors in the Treasury Department never exhibited a symptom of know ing anything about it; that its divi dends amounted, probably, to $5,- 000,000; and that the late Commis sioner of Internal Revenue steadily refused, when his attention was again and again called to it, to take°the first honest step towards breaking it up—it looks almost as though the internal'-revenue bureau had trans formed itself into a whisky ring and lent its powerful and elaborate ma chinery to the business of defrauding j the government.

Wofford is eminently correct. There is no earthly use for annual sessions. The Constitution needs 3to‘£Mr*asrsi« ta « h « in this ^ 3a 10 t t!mt tbe 1 respects. The opponents of a Con vention pretend to think it would involve a tremendous expense. The late Convention of North Carolina cost the State thirty thousand dollars. Suppose ours should cost as much— what of it? In this one item of bi- j ennial instead of annual sessions of the Legislature, it would save the j Stato in twenty years at least two j millions dollars—as it costs from j one hundred thousand to one hun dred and twenty thousand for each ! session of the Legislature Let the i sticklers for economy put this in I their pipes and smoke it. Dral instruction takes a far more permanent hold of the mind than :ul; iorizmg from books. It affords the learner an opportunity to ask j questions as the lesson proceeds, i and gives the teacher the entire con trol of the youthful minds that lie fallow before him. It opens also a field for enthusiasm in teaching and i learning, where everything now is drudge work. It would give life where there is nothing now but worn and worthless machinery that wastes the powers of educators and educa ted. Possibly the reform suggested is too radical. If so, it may be at tempted in part, in order to gather the result of the experiment. Cer tainly some change is needed. The successful scholar in our schools to day is a mere memorizing machine. The teacher is an automaton that asks questions put into his or her mouth by others. The text-book is a stumbling stone in the way of pro gress. In the meanwhile the cause of education suffers, and a change is ueeded. Who will speak to put an end to the waste of power in our schools? 4 WESTERN PRACTICAL JOKE. A GIRL IN Ti^E PULPiT. 1 Miss Annie Oliver, the girl preaeh- ' er, whose sermons have been listens ; ed to by many persons at Sea Cliff and other places, was born in New York, and is a graduate of Rutger’s Female College. She is a slight built young woman, with coal black eyes, abundant brown hair, and very graceful manners. To a reporter who called on her she said “I preach because I feel that I have been called to the ministry. I was reared in thc most retired circles, and never dream ed of public life when I was a school girl. I loved art, and began to learn landscape painting in Cincinnati. When the crusade against liquor sel lers grew strong in Ohio, I was drawn into it, and I helped them all that I could in Trumbull county. Then in Cincinnati. I went with ladies to the temperance meetings, and, by i talking to little knots of men, I gain- 1 ed confidence enough to address a j throng and I preached to clusters of ; the poor of the city. Then I ad- I ; dressed a throng in the Exposition j building. I made up my mind that 1 I could not bo contented any more A Chicago paper of a recent date says : “Day, the handsome dramat- I ic critic of tho Chicago Evening Journal, spent Sunday at Spring- Lake with two friends. It seems that.his companions had visited the A enice of America before, and they were loud in their praises of the man ner in which tho negro attendant, ‘Fred, administered the baths. So it was not remarkable, soon after the arrival of the trio, to see Day mean- : dcring down to the bath-house. He wits closely followed by the two friends, who, as soon as Day was | assigned to a bathroom, drew the darkey to one side, slipped a fifty- cent scrip into his hand, and instruc ted him to tho effect that Day wfis just out cf an inebriate asylum at Chicago, and that the only hope of his recovery was the proper adminis tration of a mineral bath; that they wanted him completely exhausted, etc., and if ever he worked on a man they wanted him to work on this one; no matter what tho bill was, they would stand the expense. With oth er parting injunctions Fred hasten-* ed to the bathroom of the unfortun ate Day, and soon the listening friends outside heard the slash of the Water the ‘slap, slap, crack crack, of the palm and fist of the brawny Af rican upon the flesh of tho victim, accompanied by grumblings and curses, smothered in magnetic min-, Of course I thought that girls had to be educated, _ if they became preachers, as well as boys.

This is too much like the rescript of a despot. It seems to be a sin to Radicalism itself. Our con stitution originated in tho dictation Of military power. It was the work they were doing a great tiling for me and said that no other church would do so much. I have a year more to study in Boston, when I expect to apply to the Methodists for license to preach.—JV. Y. .Sun. , ‘Jus you be quiet dar. I’se got : orde’s on dis ere bath. I’m a teach er, I tell you.’ And then would fol low another terrific series of thuds and slaps on the body of the already half-exhausted and infuriated man. Then in his breathing spells would come in tho voice of the darkey: ‘Tell you what ’tis, boss, this yere | nigger haint been round dis ere slaughter-house no seven years for uffin’.’ Slosh, slosh, slap. Finally they subsided and the listeners slid hack to the liotc-l. Day’s wreck soon dragged into the offio# and up to the clerk s desk, and this, inquiry came forth : ‘Does that black ras cal use every one that way ?” The i clerk was not given time to reply i 38,000,000, if ono can judge of it from the inhabitants of the plain I cams across. I passed the large city of LaLchu-foo, with high walls of stone, and another city of Chang-yi with very fine stone \valls, and the place where I am now is a vast city of 250,000 inhabitants, with magnifi cent stone walls about seventy feet high, with battlements, and most grand in appearance. I had my surveying barometer with me in the | chair, and, by its help, I have been able to get the profile of this whole country as i came along, with the exact height of each hill, and the lev el above the sea of every place through which I passed. I went to the coal mines, about twelve miles distant, aud I was much struck with the helplessness of the Chinese to work those mines properly. It was a curious feeling to find myself and a missionary gentleman (living here) among a crowd of Chinese miners, about five hundred men keeping a ring round us as we advanced, look ing at us with astonishment and con cern, but with no hostile feeling or a word expressive of dislike, and there was the appearance of respect arising out of the feeling, ‘These foreigners can help us to keep the water out of our mines and allow us to work them and gain our bread.’ This is what they seemed to be saying to them selves all the while. It was a strange sight as I stood in the midst of the crowd, with an umbrella over my head, and the people staring at me and good-naturedly walking with me to the coal-pits. I have had visits from several people, to whom I have shown how to work these mines, and I have visited one of the most an 1 - cient and wealthy families of the city. Chin is the family name (his visiting card is ‘Chin Ghiai See,’) and I am to dine with him to-day. His house is remarkable—the first I have seen in China, The reception room is furnished with ancient armchairs at least three feet wide in the seat, like thrones. The place of honor had a beautiful drawing of a bamboo grove in the wall. Wo never saw such a 1 thing in China. Before it a large i porcelain plate 700 years old. On one side is a bronze vase of the ‘Chen’ | dynasty, or GOO yeajs before Christ. | The old man introduced his grand- ! son, a charming boy; and on our re- j quest to see some old curiosities he went to his room and brought a sa crificial bronze cup on three legs, which belonged to a noble family 1,- 100 years before Christ, justthe same as one sees printed in thc books of the ancient Chinese classics. It was most curious, and it seemed to say, ‘I show you a thing which was used Ly my ancestors in their worship nearly 3,000 years ago.’ In fact this cup was contemporary with Solo mon’s Temple, and was made before Rome was built. He only showed us that, as if all the rest were too modern for our admiration. In his grand room, where he received us, was his library of books, in beauti- fu^cc-dar cases, and his family ban ners of silk, with gold letteis on them, which are borne before the coffins at their interments. I also him. Remember that he may have j much to discompose him. Business i may have gone wrong, obligations ; may not have been met as he desired, j Attend to your work, go on with j your sewing or knitting, as if every thing is right and you may be sure that ho will soon be in a bettor mood, and will tell you of everything that has disturbed him. Y'our smiles, prudence, and good nature, will be grateful to his feelings and he will say to himself, “However trouble some out-door affairs may be, all is quiet, tender, affectionate, at homo.” His home will be the sweetest place on earth. He will be always glad to get there, for there his highest hap piness will be found. Do not imag ine that your husband has changed. He has to encounter the struggles of life, and often, his gloomiest moods may be caused by temporary inabil ity to gratify you in your wants. Never upbraid him if he tells you you must postpone the purchase of a new dress or hat, for it may be in convenient to get them at present. Say rather, “I am always ready my dear husband to await your conveni ence. It would distress me to be the means of adding to your trou bles, or embarrassments.” Such con duct will endear you the more to him, and he will strive the harder to please you. He will feel that you are his greatest earthly treasure. Never tell him he cannot supply your wants because of his bad man agement, his personal extravagance, his want of affection for you. If you differ with your husband upon any subject do not indicate by your words that you consider yourself wiser than him, even if you think so. Never contend for the last word. You gain a victory by leaving that to him. You will rise in his estimation as you seem to yield. He will esteem and love you the more for it. Do not think that because you have ob tained a husband you may be more independent, and disregard his wishes. Do as you did when j'ou won him. Be polite, be kind and attentive. It is perhaps more diffi cult to retain his devotion than it | was when he was a lover. He link- j ed his destiny with yours to secure a lifetime happiness. He paid you tho compliment to select you for that purpose. Remember this, and do all in your power to fulfill his hopes. 1'ou, more than he, is the sun and centre of your common homes. If you are joyous, and good tempered he will be so—your children will be so. No man. unless he is a brute by nature, can maltreat a good temper ed wife. If she proves to be a femi nine thunder-bolt, no one can vouch for the universal good conduct of her spouse. The best security for domestic happiness is the affection ate amiability of the wife. S.
