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. Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railway, with all its branches aud lateral lines, measures 1,006 miles. The Chicago street Railroads earned $720,000 during the past year. The mss receipts for the pest month were $59,180.40. At tho recent New York Central Railway election, Mr. Vanderbilt voted upon 187,948 shares. JIFor six months, ending tho 7th iusL, tho Chicago and Northwestern Railroad earned $1,294,362, or $1,386,658 more than the same tiino last year. The managers of the Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis Railroad are going to put their employees in uniform after the manner of the New York Central Road. Work on the partially completed Memphis and Little Rock Railroad is to be resumed, a contract having been entered into to finish the road by Jan. 1,1869. Gen. Grant reports that the balance due from Southern Railroad Companies to the United States, November Ist, 1867, in cluding interest, was $4,884,500. Evans’ Pnss, tho highest point between tho Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—elevation/ 8,242 feet abovo tide level—will be reached by the Union Pacific in Railroads in January. The earnings of the Union Pacific Rail road for the month of October last were $267,171. The working expenses in the month were $120,146, leaving a net balance of $147,025. An eight wheeled car, which the inventor claims one horse can draw, if it is loaded with twenty thousand persons, is the greatest Boston novelty. The object is to prevent friction in the running gear of the car. Tho fireman on a train of cars near St. Joseph, Mo., recently fell from the engine, while outside oiling, and though tho train was going thirty miles an hour, he was not killed, nor seriously injured. Railroad companies are not compelled to pay for stock killed on public crossings or within corporate limits, neither for bulls, stallions, jacks, rams or hogs. None of these classes having rights at large which railroad companies are bound to respect. The underground railway in London has carried in six months’ time, over 12,000,000 of passengers, or about three times the population of London. The actual number transported over the line since its opening in January, 1863. is about 70,000,000. The construction of anew railroad has been authorized by the Emperor of Brazil. The road will have its terminus in the city of the Rio Grande de Sul, and is expected to reach the coal regions in the interior of the empire. SPECIAL NOTICES. U. S.
