The Tax on Spirits.— The Ways and
Means Committee have reported one or two
amendments to the laws for the collection of
the tax on spirits, in advance of the general
revision of the Internal Revenue laws.
Commissioner Rollins has recommended the
repeal ot the provision which permits spirits
to be withdrawn from bond for redislillation
without the tax being paid, and the Com
mittee will, without doubt, agree to the
proposition, and repoit it to the House,
The abuse of this provision has boon one
of the greatest sources of fraud in the whis

State Constitutional Convention
Atlanta, Jan. 10,1867.
The business of the day WW importamt
in respect to several reports made by the
tomiaittccs, *Dd the deVfttes which ensued
upon the resolutions Hiking Congress to
empower the Convention to roroovo disloyal
officers.
a.rrott offered an ordinance amenda
tory of the ordinance suspending sales un
der Execution, adopted some time since,
and providing for a penalty against such
officers os should violate the ordinance. Tho
amendatory ordinance was postponed for
future consideration.
Tho same gentleman offered a resolution
setting forth tho manner in which reports
of committees should be made, etc. In
definitely postponed.
Br. Asbbubn, from tho committee on the
of rights, made a report, 500 of which
were ordered to be printed. The changes
made by it in the constitution of 1865 were
few but important.
Mr. Atckrhan, from the Judiciary com
mittee, made a very long and elaborate
report, making many alterations in the pres
ent system, especially in tho tenure of office
and mode of election of the Judges of tho
different courts. It places the County Court
and Ordinary in the bands of one officer,
who is also to perform the duties of the
Inferior Oourt, wnich is abolished- Clerks
and Sheriffs are to be appointed by the
Judges, and many other changes are made.
It is impossible at present to procure a copy
of the report.
Gen. Meade visited the Convention, nnd
was received by President Purrott in his
usual felicitous style. The General ad
dressed the Convention as follows :
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con
tention : I appear before you to day in
compliance with the courteous resolutions
you nave been pleased to pass, inviting me
to a seat upon your floor. I came hero
principally for the purpose of returning to
you in person my thanks for the kindness
and courtesy indicated by your resolutions.
At the same time, it appears to me that this
is a suitable occasion for me to state to you
and through you to the people of Georgia,
Alabama and Florida, certain points in
regard to what I conceive to be my duty in
the position assigned to ire by the Govern
ment of the United States. lam assigned
to the position I now occupy, under a law
of Congress, by direction of tho President
of the United States and tho Secretary of
War. My duty is to execute a law which
has been passed by the Congress ol the
United States. Asa soldier, I conceive that
I have no right to question the validity of
the act from which I derive my powers ;
nor cau I permit it to be questioned by
those under my command. There is a
proper course to be pursued in testing the
validity of all acts, but I am not the agent
for that purpose.
The question arises, what are my duties
under this law ? In tho words of the law,
it is “to protect all persons in their rights of
person and property ; to suppress insurrec
tion, disorder, and violence, and to punish,
or cause to be punished, all disturbers of
the public peace and criminals,” and when
this cannot he done through the proper
functions of the civil officers, then the law
makes it my duty to assist these officers and
afford the proper protection, and this duty
shall be taithfull)' and honestly performed.
[Applause.]
Furthermore, the law requires that an
opportunity shall be given to the people of
Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, to say
whether they will accept the Constitutions
which the Conventions ot their respective
States may frame. My duty is to see that
“all the registered and qualified electors in
the State have an opportunity to vote rreely,
and without restraint, fear or influence of
baud,” so as to enable them to state whether
they will or will not accept the terms offered.
Now, that duty I shall to the best of my
ability endeavor to execute. [Applause].
Your duty, gentlemen, which you are called
upon to perform, is to frame a Constitution
nnd civil government for tho people of
Georgia, and, if accepted by the people of
Georgia, then to ho submitted to tho
Congress of the United States. I trust that
as Military Commanders, we shall coOperate
as far as may be necessary. I do not see,
however, that there is so much cooperation
necessary. Your duty is specific, aud mine
is similar. Ido not consider that your ordi
nances, within the limits of the acts necessarv
for the discharge of the duties prescribed by
Congress, are to be enforced by me pending
the adoption of the Constitution; but I
conceive the powers with which I am
invested are sufficient to authorize my
adoption ol any of your acts as my acts, in
case in my judgment the well being of the
people imperatively require such action on
my part; and, among such measures, I have
under consideration the relief laws as pre
pared by you.
In conclusion, I beg you will pardon so
much reference to myself and actions. But
coming among you as I do, a stranger, never
having been in your State before except pass
ing through as a traveller, it has occurred to
me that this plaiu expression of my views as
to my duties and determination to conscien
tiously discharge the same, would serve, per
haps, to remove some of the obstacles that
might otherwise be placed in my way. I
trust, gentlemen, you will proceed to frame a
Constitution and frame a Civil Government
which will bo acceptable to the qualified
voters of Georgia. It is not my duty to
dictate, to recommend, or to advise—but I
feel justified in counseling moderation, and
earnestly hoping that wisdom, calmness, aud
reason will govern your proceedings. Again
1 thank you most sincerely for your courtesy.
The General's speech was well received
and applauded by the Convention, and was a
subject of universal commendation.
Mr. Ashbutne submitted the following
letter from Hon. John Sherman, member of
the U. S. Senate :
UxiTBD STiTKS SknAIS, )
Washington, Jan 6, 1868. }
Dear Sir—l don’t see how it is|possible
for you or for other members of the Conven
tion, to have just ground of fear from the op
ponents of reconstruction. Go ahead. Con
gress will unquestionably do all that is ne
cessary for your protection. What do you
want? You have the matter iu your own
hands. If additional legialatiou is needed,
stated what it is, and it will be provided.
Very truly, yours,
John Shkrman.
C. H. Uojtkins, Esq.
Mr. Ashdurn’s resolutions, asking Con
gress to vest iu the Convention the power of
removal and appointment of the civil offi
cer- of tho State came up, and on tht
motion to refer and print, an excited discus
sion arose iu which Messrs. Caldwell, Bry
ant, Davis, uud others participated. Fiually
Mr. Tkamuei.i. obtained the floor aud spoke
against time. Time was distanced, Tram
mell beat the race, and the hour for adjourn
ment arrived while Mr. T. was still speaking i
The Convention is making very good pro
gress, and will commence tho serious work
of putting together the reports of tho com
mittees into a Constitution al an early day.
That the Constitution will he just aud modo
ato is fair to infer, from tha reports already
made, but because it is so will not dimiuish
in the least tho efforts of those whom no
Constitution would satisfy, to defeat it. He'
lying, however, upon tho justice and sense
of right of the people, tho Convention will
submit their work to the popular judgment,
with confidence.
RAILROAD ITEMS.
