Of the State of Georgia, met in this city yes
terday. The old officers were re elected, viz,
Dr. S. G. White, President, Dr. W. II. Hall,
Vice President, Dr. G. D. Case, Dean. The
Board meets annually, in this city, for the
purpose of examining and licensing applicants
to practice medicine and compound and sell
drugs. Physicians and Druggists who have
not been licensed should not neglect to make
application for license at the present session of
the Board. We havo heard of at least one
Judge of the Superior Courts who charged the
Grand Jury to enquire if physicians aud drug-
ists had the license required by law.
The Chronicle & SeDtinel of the 4th contains
an able editorial in favor of a constitutional con
vention. The Laurenceville Gazette also con'
tains an article in favor of a convention aud
produces arguments that are unanswerable.
We are unable to publish all the articles we
find in the papers urging the Legislature to call a
convention. We hope to make room for some
of them hereafter.

We invite attention to the advertisement in

Ga. They are extensive wholesale and reta’l
dealers in Farming Implements, Seeds, Fertili- j Slicll token of
zers, Wagons, Buggies, Carriages, Portable
Steam Engines, Guns, Harness, &c., sSre. They
have the best assortment anti largest stock of
the above named articles, that we have ever
seen in this state. Their stock of farming im
plements consists in every imaginable tool ever
used on plantations, and are the very best and
latest improvements. They claim that their
seed depaitment is as complete as can be found
Xorth or South. Planters should not fail t > no
tice in the advertisement the 2000 bushels of
German Miliet; this is something that every
farmer should be sure to plant, as it yields in
great abundance, and is very profitable. We
will not attempt to give a description of the dif
ferent kinds of the immense stock, for time would
fail us. Bead every word of their advertise
ment, marking what they say relative to prices,
and send In your orders at once.
Democratic Harnjoijy it) Congress.
The very able and patriotic speech of Mr. La
mar of Mississippi and th? noble conduct of Mr.
Randall of Pennsylvania, are indications that
the very best spirit exists among the Democrat
ic members of Congress at present. All seem
determined to go to work and correct the abuses
which have grown up under the present admin
'stration. They now have a chance to expose
the corruptions of the party in power ; this they
will no doubt do andalivilgo on harmoniously
unless Mr. Hill shall discover some crevice into
which he can drive a wedge of discord. If he
should let such an opportunity siip lie would no
longer be Ben Hill. We should as soon expect
to see him transformed into an Angel of light as
to see him act harmonious y during the session
with a majority of the Democratic members.
We hope the Democrats will not give him an
opportunity to divide the party.
J) CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
In this isaue of our paper will be
found several articles from various
parts of the State in favor of a Cons
vention to mend our Constitution.
The people of Georgia are sick and
tired of living under a Constitution
imposed upon us by our worst ene
mies. A constitution framed princi
pally by carpet-baggers, scalawags
and negroes, and intended to insult
and oppress the white citizens of
Georgia; and we believe to day the
wishes of the people of tho State are
more nearly unanimous in favor of
a Convention, than they ever were
before of any other political meas
ure. The members of the Legisla
ture must be aware of this fact, and
if they longer refuse to call a Con
vention, it will be absurd to call
them the Representatives of the peo-
of Georgia : They will be the Rep
resentatives of the Atlanta ring. In
deed it will not be necessary any
longer to go to the expense of hav
ing a Legislature. If the State is
is to be governed by the ring, we
may as well receive the decrees of
the ring directly through the columns
of the Atlanta papers, as to receive
them second hand through the le 0
islatuve. \\ e hope the Representa
tives of the people, this winter, will
assert their rights and give the peo
ple a chance to have a Convention
to form a Constitution, which can
in its true sense be called a Georgia
Constitution.

OUR SAINT LOUIS LETTER.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 25, 1875.
Editor Union <k Recorder:—
The great Convention held in this
city on yesterday and the day before,
in the interest of the proposed Texas
Pacific, or Southern trans-continen
tal railway enterprise, deserves a spe
cial notice in your columns. In an
enlarged and just sense the enter
prise is a national one; but the
Southern States are more directly
interested in it than their Northern
and North Western brethren. Arri
ving in St. Louis on the morning of
the 23rd we found the leading hotels
crowded with delegates and visitors.
The Convention assembled at noon
on that day in the immense Hall of
the Temple building, and was said
to number between five and six hun
dred delegates, subsequently swollaqj
to nearly nine hundred. Almost every
State and Territory in the Union ex
cepting Alaska was represented. Gen.
Anderson of Richmond was elected
temporary Chairman, and a Commit
tee of one from each State was ap
pointed to report officers for a per
manent organization.
On the withdrawal of this Commit
tee for consultation, the time of the
Convention was occupied by various
proceedings, one especially worthy of
mention, (ten. Sherman who, as
commander-in-chief of the U- S. Ar..
my, has his Head Quarters in St.
Louis, was invited by motion to a
seat on the stand, and stepped for
ward with firm military tread amid
applause to the position assigned
him. This was speedily followed by
a motion to invite Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston to a similar seat which was
carried amid great applause; and
while General J. (who was Chairman
of our Georgia Delegation) rose and
stepped firmly on the platform, the
cheers were deafening. Even this
enthusiasm found an intenser climax
when these two foes on so many
bloody battle fields grasped each
others' hands with smiles and good
words, illustrating to our minds the
fine passage of Horace.
In amore h* sunt mala—bellum,
Pax rursum.
The scene was almost immediate
ly re-enacted by a similar call on Gen.
Beauregard, and the trio stood bes
fore the thousands of spectators as
the representatives of a reconstruc
ted Republic. This was, however,
marred by an unexpected turn of afs
fairs. A motion was offered to in
vite to tho platform Ex-President,
Jefferson Davis who was on the floor
as the chairman of the Mississippi
delegation Cries of “No! No!
came up from a few certain North
ern localities of the house ; and al
though in no very great number,
the circumstances brought Mr. Davis
to his feet with a prompt and ener
getic declination of the proffered
honor. We confess a large degree
of disgust at the illiberal pigmies of
of souls that could mar the whole
some enthusiasm of the occasion by
such mean and illiberal objection to
kind feeling toward
Mr. Davis; but the opposers of the
proffered compliment were not nu
merous even among Northern dele
gates.
The Committee on permanent or
ganization re appeared and their Re
port was speedily succeeded by its
adoption making Hon. Stanley Mat
thews of Cincinnati, President, and
Gen W. Preston of Kentucky Y'ice
President, with a number of addition
al officers. On the evening of the 23rd,
the Delegates were honored by a ban
quet of which we found glowing ac
counts in the city papers the next
morning: but having traveled the
two preceding nights, and being
sleepy, we resorted to tbo more
agreeable Franklinian method of
“Early to bed and early to rise”—a
procedure worthy of commendation
whether the vaunted rewards of
health, wealth and wisdom really be
come ours, or not.
On the following day (yesterday)
the Convention completed its busi
ness, and reached adjournment, hav
ing transacted a large amount of
business looking to the main object
of the assemblage. At one stage of
yesterday’s proceedings there was
considerable danger that an under
current of conflict known to exist
between the North and the South re
specting the Eastern terminus of
the Road might break out into open
conflict; but happily this was avert
ed. and Shreveport was carried as
the point. The preamble and gener
al resolutions reported by the com
mittee appointed to frame them cover
the whole ground in favor of the
construction of the Road and of aid
from the General Government to
that end—the Road to be built from
Shreveport, via El Paso, to San
Diego, California; and they recom
mend that Congress be asked to
guarantee payment of interest on a
limited number of Bonds of the
Company in aid of the enterprise.
During the proceedings of yester
day, a long and interesting commu
nication from Col. Tom Scott setting
forth, in a manner acceptable to the
friends of the great enterprise in
all sections, the plan for issuing
and using these bonds, and other mat
ters connected with the objects of the
Convention. The Report of the
Committee, and Mr. Scott's, address
were unanimously adojited by the
Convention. These documents, too
long for embodiment in this letter,
will doubtless be spread before your
readers through the columns of the
newspapers. There can be no ques
tion that not only the South but the
whole country needs a Southern
Pacific Railroad which shall be free
from the obstruction of snows in
winter, and shall afford healthful
competition to the Pacific Road now
in operation; and that Government
aid should be extended to our South
ern road, as it was lavishly bestowed
on that already built.
To day, the Delegates are enjoy
ing the festive pleasures of “Cham-
paigne and chat” in a steamboat ex
cursion on the Mississippi River;
but we chose to remain here, and
write this letter to your readers.—
We have also had the pleasure of
meeting Judge Pope formerly of At
lanta, now a lawyer in large prac
tice in this city ; and of the celebra
ted Pi of. Tice whose predictions of
tornadoes have been wonderfully
verified. We have procured a copy
of a volume on the subject of tornas
does written by this wonderful man,
and shall endeaver to give your read
ers some account of it hereafter.
Such subject cannot fail to interest
the people of Georgia who have suf
fered so terribly from the storm-rav
ages of 1875. We endeavored to
find time to listen to the prosecu
tions in progress in the U. S. Court
in this city against the magnates of
the St. Louis “Whiskey Ringbut
we were able to remain in the Court
Room only a few moments.
St. Louis claims a half million of
inhabitants ; is growing rapidly, and
will become hereafter the greatest
city in America. Its advantages of
location are ton great and numerous
to admit any other conclusion. We
are impressed everywhere with its
greatness, and its rapid growth to
still mightier magnitude. The mighty
Bridge which spans the Mississippi
River at St, Louis is not to be neg
lected by a visitor hither; and ac-
cofilingly in company with an ardent
young lawyer of Rome, I walked
across this immense structure, more
than a mile long, yesterday morning.

OLD WILKES FOR A
The Grand Jury o^\Y*flkes“county,
at a late session of the Superior
Court recommend, in their present
ments, the call of a convention to
frame a constitution by and under
the authority of the people of Geor
gia. Wo regret that ulL Ahj^Grand
Juries throughout tbe',4jn£Oid not
express their opinions on tliis sub
ject during the Fall riding. Here
is what tho Wilkes jury say in their
presentments :
“We would recommend our repre
sentatives to use their influence in
calliDga constitutional convention to
undo the work of the corrupt Radi
cal party, which framed the unjust
Constitution under which we, as
Democrats, still continue to live ; and
especially the iniquitous homestead
law, which we consider unreasonably
large for the present impoverished
condition of our country, and entail
ing endless litigation and unnecessary
taxation, and a premium for dishones
ty and the violation of contracts, in
juring the credit of the honest, m-
dustrous planters and crippling that
of the merchants, and enforcing stag
nation of the mercantile and agricul
tural interest of the country.”
secretary.
On taking the chair, Col. Lamar
addressed the caucus as follows:
Gentlemen: In calling me to this
position of responsibility and dis
tinction, you have conferred an hon
or which I appreciate most highly
and for which I thank you most
cordially. We here are confronted
with a crisis in the history of tho
Democratic party and of the country,
which brings to our party grand opr*
portunities; but is at the same time
freighted for us with solemn re
sponsibilities aud if we do not im
prove these opportunities and rise to
the measure of these responsibilities,
the fruits of tho great political rev
olution, which has brought ns hero
to-day, will be for us like tho fruit
which grows upon the shores of tho
accursed sea.
Tho people of this, country, by
overwhelming majorities of States
and majorities in States, have placed
the Democratic party, after a long
period of exclusion from power, in
The grandest aspiration of tho
Democratic party is, and its crown
ing glory will be to restore the Con
stitution to its pristino strength and
authority, and to make it the protec
tor of every section and of every
State in the Union, and of every hu
man being, of every raco, color and
condition in tho land.
Apprehension and distrust of one
part of the nation, that that por
tion of tho Southern people who
were arrayed against the authority
of the Federal Government in the
late war, would bo nn element of <Uh
tnrbance to the American Union,
has mainly disappeared, and is ovi
dcnccd by your election. In its
Btead has grown a more frater
nal feeling which regards us of tho
Southern States, as fellow citizens
of tho same great nation, and, on
the other hand, tho people of whom
I speak, of whom I am one, are here
to-dny, by their chosen ropreHonta**
tion, ready to honor any «I raft which
tho American people may draw upon
their patrotism or their faith in the
glory and the beneficent destiny of
American institutions. [Applause.]

ho placed in the way of its vigorous
devclopcmeut aiul itH amplest sue

It has been said that tho day of sen
timental politics has passed away;
but, gentlemen, there is one part of
this Union—that part which I know
best—which asks for the great mor
al nutriment to a spirited and noble
people. We want a government
that we can lovo and revere and
servo from tho motive of reverence
and love. We hunger for a patriotism
which shall knit all the people to
gether in a genorous and loving
brotherhood, and which shall bo as
broad as the territory over which
the national flag floats. Let mo say
hero that no government, no nation,
can prosper without this vital fire.
It is the sentiment which, acting up
on free institutions and reacting
through them upon a people, consti
tntes their public spirit aud political
genius.
Gentlemen, we are here as Demo
crats—members of a political party,
which has a glorious history. Let
us, in our duties this winter, recall
and revive those principles, tho faith
ful maintenance of which, by the
fathers of our country, secured for it
for so long a period the confidence
and support of tho people. Let us
seek to renew the prosperity, to ad
vance the greatness and glory of
our country. Let us resolve to win
the confidence, the affection of the
whole American people for our par
ty by showing them, that we, its
present representatives, have states

partment of tho Federal Government.
When I say important, I do not
mean that tho individual members
are invested with imposing prerog
atives or great personal distinction.
The departments of patronage—
those which hold and command the
glittering prizes of governmental
emolument and honors—aro the co
ordinate branches of tho Govern
ment, which are still under tho cons
trol of our political opponents. The
members of the House of Represen
tatives have no patronage whatever
beyond that of the appointment of a
military or naval cadet, and their !
compensation is barely adequate to
a life of republican simplicity and j
prudential economy. There are j
many offices in the gift of the Execu- j
tive far more profitable, and in the l
public esteem far more distinguish j
ed, than that of a seat in the House i
of Representative; but tliis branch
is nevertheless, under our matchless j
system of government, the corner |
stone of our fabric of liberty, be- !
cause it is the only department of
the Federal Government directly re
sponsible to the people of the coun
try, and receiving its powers directly
from their hands. All tho other
branches of the Government are two
or three degrees removed from the
people in the mode of their selection,
or in the nature of their responsibili
ties; but while the House of Repre
sentatives is thus immediately re*
sponsible to the people, all the other
branches of Government are respon
sible to this body.

six years your Expectorant. I deem it due to
yourself and the public to elate that I have uui-
formly found it efficient in relieving and curing
pulmonary diseases I am strictly opposed to
quackery, but touching this very pleasant and ex
cellent medicine “I have testified that which 1
do know and that which I hare experienced."

Will You Believe It.
Woman's Best Friend.—To relieve the
aching heart of woman and bring joy where
sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission before
which the smiles ot kings dwindle in
to utter insignificance. To do tliis is the pecul
iar province of Dr. J. Bradtield’s Female Regu
lator ; which from the numberless cures it lias
accomplished, is appropriately styled Woman's
Best Friend. The distressing complaint known
as the “whites,” and the various irregularities
of the womb, to which woman is subject disap
pear like magic before a single bottle of this
wonderful compound. It is prepared by L. U.
Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga , and sold at
$1.50 per bottle by respectable Drug men eve
rywhere. Physicians prescribo it. Its action is
prompt, sure and decisive.

“Ttjrow Physic to the Dogs; I’ll Notje of It
We do not in the least feci like blaming Mac
beth for this expression of disgust; indeed, we
are rather inclined to sympathize with him. Even
nowadays most of the cathartics offered to the
public are great, repulsive-looking pills, the
very appearance of which is sufficient to “tnrn
one's stomach.” Had Macbeth ever taken Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets he would
not have uttered those words of contempt It
is really encouraging, when one is ill, to find
that a Tittle, sugar-coated Pellet, no larger than
than a grain ot of mustard, will as prompt
ly produce the desired effect as a dose of
great, nauseating pills, These little Pellets, un
like other cathartics, are really nature's physic.
They do not debilitate, bat tone and iuvigorate
the system. No family should be without Dr.
Pierce s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

public revenue of the country, both
in its collection and its disbursement.
That all the public accounts shall be
scrutinized by us, as it is the solemn
privilege and duty of tlie House to
do, and that corruption be fereted
out, and wrong-doors, no matter how
high or low, shall be fearlessly ar^
raigned and fully exposed and pun
ished.
There is a growing and irresista-
ble sentiment in the country, that
under the specious theory of protec
ting and fostering particular indus
tries and interests, a system of miss-
called revenue laws has been in oper
ation, detrimental find blasting to all
the other great interests of the coun
try, and maintained at the expense
of the general revenue and to the
injury of the great majority of the
people, or of those -classes—the far
mers aad laborers; who are least able
to bear the burden of oppressive
laws.
One of the highest and most pres->
sing demands upon us will be, not
only to insist on bringing down the
expenses of the Government to the
needs only of economical administra
tion, but to perfect and adopt such
a system of taxation as will bring in
the required revenue with the fewest
restrictions upon commerce and with
the least burden to the people, and
that burden equitably distributed
and skillfully adjusted. Owing to
the exigencies of one of those great
internecine conflicts incident to the
life of almost every country and also
to a pernicious system of legislation,
our people, our business investments,
our commerce, and all the diversified
interests of the country are suffering
from the evils of an irredeemable cur
rency. In meeting and grappling
with the difficulties of this vital and
perplexing question, it will be our
duty to take care that nothing is
done which would impare the good
faith of the country, or tarnish the
public honor, or lower or disturb the
credit of our Government; but we
are to remove those obstructions
which bar the progress and check the
prosperity of the American Repub
lic.
It is the duty, and is to be the
glory of the Democratic party, while
it controls the House, to see that
the national debt is paid in full
and that the currency of this Demo
cratic Republic is made equal with
that of any nation on earth. Upon
the part of those who have been in
vested with the political power and
destiny of our country, during the
last ten or fifteen years, it has been
a frequent remark that the era of con
stitutional politics had closed ; that
questions of constitutional limita
tions and restrictions were no longer
to hinder or delay the legislation of
the Government in its dealings with
financial, economical or social sub
jects, which were, it was assumed,
now the only matters worthy of pub
lic attention; and yet amidst their
grand boastings, the Forty-third
Congress found themselves faced
with the gravest questions of consti
tutional law, reaching down to the
fundamental system and involving
not only the relations of the State
to the Federal Government, bat that
of the people and their own home
government

Mr. Randall said: Mr. Chairman
—Let the wish of the majority be
the voice of all. From this moment
the differences among ourselves
must be at an end, and thus present
a united front to our adversaries.
Our mission on this floor must be,
as far as we all are able, to restore
the Government to its constitutional

more of a personal character to those
