Frets Sit Atlanta Opinion.]
State Constitutional Convention
MINBTtIVTH DAY.
Wkdnksday* Jan. 15, 1868.
The Convention met »t regular hour.
Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and
approved.
Mr. Akebman moved a reconsideration of
the vote of yesterday in adoptiug the report
of the Committee on Relief. The avowed
purpose of those who brought this matter
belore the Convention was to quiet appre
hensions as to the course this Convention
would pursue in reference to the public debt.
The action taken would have the contrary
effect. If.it was the intention of the Dele
gates to preserve the faith of the State, let it
be expressed unmistakably. lie would offer
an amendment providing that, ail bonds
issued, and iudebtedness incurred, since
1865 should be recognized and paid in good
faith.
Mr. Shropshire opposed reconsideration.
The administration ol affairs may have been
extravagant —be had heard it asserted that
such was the fact. He only wanted to express
the opinion of the Convention that no action
would be taken by this Convention inter
fering with the public indebtedness referred
to. The Legislature could decide upou such
questions hereafter.
Mr. Caldwell favored the reference to the
Legislature.
Mr. Caldwell, from the Committee on
Education, made a report, which was read
and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Bedford thought the amendment of
Mr. Akermau was too sweeping. lie was
opposed to State repudiation—and when it
was ascertained what iudebtedness had been
legally contracted, no delegate would go
further than himself in supporting the faith
of the State.
Mr. Dunning thought it was natural that
discredit should exist, with reference to
public indebtedness. Day after day propo
sitions for relief had been introduced- Pub
lic repudiation would be but the crowning
act of the movement to repudiate private
debts. He was opposed to any action that
would impair credit.
The motion to reconsider prevailed, when
the whole matter was laid ou the table.
Mr. Martin, of Habersham, offered the
following:
Resolved, That Major General Meade be
requested to order the Treasurer of Georgia
to deposit in the hands of N. L. Angier, the
Disbursing Agent, subject to the order of
the Convention, funds sufficient to pay all
expenses of the Couvention.
Resolved, That the Secretary furnish
General Meade at once with a copy of this
resolution.
The rules were suspended and the reso
lution was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Bradley—Moved a suspension of the
rules to allow him to introduce a resolution.
Motion agreed to, when the following reso
lution was offered and adopted :
Resolved, That the delegates of the peo
ple of Georgia, in Convention assembled, do
request the Major General Commanding to
have examined all the jails and other
prisons, and have released therefrom all
persons unlawfully deprived of their liber
ties. And all persons tried ex parte, the
right of appeal denied, and bail refused, in
violation of the Constitution and laws of the
United States, and the Stato of Georgia.
Mr. Trammell, from the Committee on
Privileges and Elections—Made a report
with reference to the right of Mr. Ander
son, of Houston, to a seat. The report
states that Mr. A. was one of the Registrars
in the 23d District, had served as one of the
managers, and made out the returns sent
np; therefore he was not eligible. The re
port was laid on the table.
Mr. Richardson—Moved to suspend the
rogular order to take up the report of the
Committee on Bill of Rights. Agreed to,
and the report was referred to the Committee
of the Whole.
On motion, it was ordered that in consid
ering the report it should be considered sec
tion by section.
Mr. Waddell moved, as a substitute to
the preamble, the preamble adopted by the
Convention of 1865.
A long discussion ensued, and a number of
substitutes and amendments were offered.
On motion, all the substitutes, except that ot
Mr. Waddell, were the table, ami
the preamble of the Convention, of 1805 was
adopted unanimously.
Mr. Clift moved to amend the report by
adopting the caption, so that the word “pre
amble” should precede the preamble adopted,
and that the words “Constitution of the
State of Georgia” should follow the pream
ble. Agreed to.
The committee proceeded to consider the
Declaration of Rights.
Mr. Whit-SLY and Mr. Higher moved
substitutes for the first and second sections,
which were laid on the table.
Mr. Akerean moved to amend the report
by adopting the following in lieu of Section
1 and 2, by inserting the following, which
was agreed to:
Sec. 1. Protection to person and property
is the paramount duty of government, and
shall be impartial and complete.
Mr. Bryant offered as a substitute for
Section 2:
That all residents in this Stats horn in
the United States, or naturalized, or who
shall have legally declared their intention to
become citizens of the United States, are
hereby declared citizens of the State" ot
Georgia, possessing equal civil and political
rights and public privileges.
Ordered to be laid on the table and
printed.
Sec. 3. No person shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property, except by due process of
law.
Adopted without amendment.
Mr. Conley moved to amend section four
of the report so that it would read—“ There
shall be no imprisonment for debt,” striking
out the words—“ except for (rnud, or when
debtor resides beyond the limits of the State,
or is about to remove therefrom.”
Mr. Davis and Mr. Akkbman opposed the
motion, and Mr. Blount favored it. He
was no lawyer, but his observations in the
courts of the State taught him that the
chicanery of the law hail often oppressed
honest debtors.
Mr. Clift moved to amend by striking
out the words “except for fraud or”—so
that the section would read : “There shall
be no imprisonment for debt, when the debtor
resides beyond the limits of tho State, or is
about to remove therefrom.”
Mr. Bryant favored the original amend
ment, and Mr. Crane advocated the original
section, but before concluding, on motion ot
Mr. Waddell, the committee rose and re
ported progress, when the Convention ad
journed until 10 o’clock to-morrow.
This Dirrcßlxci. —Whilst a*majorityof
planters in the Southern and Western por
tions of this State have become bankrupt in
their attempt to raise cotton, ulm6st every
farmer in Northern Georgia has made
money by raising wheat and corn. One
farmer, in a county north of this, who never
made any money, evon before the war, on
the cotton sensation, cleared three thousand
dollars this year by raising wheat.— Atlanta
Opinion.
NEWS PARAGRAMB.
—The Hon. George 11. Pendleton has
been nominated by the Democratic State
Conventions of Ohio, Indiana and Weet
Virginia as the candidate of that party for
the Presidency.
—Mr. Wells says that the apple crop in
New York is enough to pay the yearly in
tereafon its State debt, and liquidate the
principal in ten years. Twenty millions
and more. A fruitful source of revonue.
The superintendent of the theatres in
Paris has ordered an enlargement of the
dresses of the danscuses in the new spec
tacular play of “Gulliver.” It would do
well to have superintendents of theatres in
the United States.
—The Black Ckdok has at last been with
drawn from Niblo’s Garden, where it has
had possession of the stage for the past
fourteen months. It has been performed
four hundred and seventy-five times, and
tho total receipts at tho Treasurer’s office
amount to $760,000, of which somo $15,000
has been paid to tho government.
A man in Wisconsin was recently
buried by the caving in of a well which he
was digging, seventy five fegt below the
surface. For one whole day no attempt
was made at rescue, but when two days more
had, been spent in excavating, what all sup
posed to be a tomb, the man was found
alive, but very hungry.
—The Washington Star says of Mr.
Charles Dickons' anticipated visit to Wash
ington, that his agent, Dolby, after survey
ing the ground, concluded that he could not
net more than $2,Q00 per night, and at that
rate but for a single course of four readings.
So he will not go there until later in the
season, after ho has skimmed the cream of
the big cities.
—Samuel Nicolsou, inventor of the
“ Nicolsou pavement,” an improved steering
apparatus tor vessels, and several other con
trivances, died in. Boston on Monday, after
a brief illness, at the age of 76 years. He
was a native of Plymouth, Mass., and in
early life was partner in a large commission
house in Charleston, S. C. He returned to
New England on account of his wife’s
health, and established himself in
where he lived until the time of his death.
—“The Revolution” is tho title of anew
weekly newspaper, published by Susan B.
Anthony, and edited by Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Parker Pillsbury. One of the
chief contributors appears to be George
Francis Train. The objects of the paper
are too many and various to be enumerated
in less than half a column, but m the most
prominent among them are the advocacy of
woman’s suffrage, total abstinence, and
paper money, the abolition of standing
armies, and the prohibition of foreign manu
factures.
- —The Cotton Famine in England, during
the American war, was very distressing,
but recent reports from official sources show
that it was not unattended by the compen
sations which urc a law of nature. The
death-rate in Lancashire decreased during
the period of the greatest inactivity in tho
cotton mills. Moreover, tho beer-shops
“were not taking a quarter of tho money
received in ordinary times”—for the suffi
cient reason that there was very little money
to spend. Longer life and greater sobriety
were certainly good offsets.
—Pope Pius IX. is described as a very
good-looking man, with wonderfully grace
ful manners, stout and corpulent, though of
a very agreeable exterior, and clothed as he
is in white, from the shoes to his capote,
with gilded crosses embroidered on the fore
part of his shoes, and his rich white hair
falling upon his shoulders, he impresses
those who see him first as having an un
commonly venerable appearance. His white,
transparent cheeks become slightly colored
by the effect of tho air; his face is of a
beautiful regularity, and in spite of his
acqniline nose and his rather piercing eyes,
meekness and benevolence are the very
characteristics of his features.
Useful SCefnrm.
Both Houses of Congress have passed a
bill prohibiting the removal of whiskey
from bonded .warehouses until the tax has
been paid. This is a useful reform. It
will check, if it cannot stop, the enormous
evasions of the whiskey tax which have
been greatly aided by the permission given
to transport whiskey from one warehouse to
another—even if they were hundreds of
miles apart—without payment of the tax.
Thousands of barrels go to New York from
Chicago, Cincinnati and other Western
cities “ under bond," —hut by the time they
arrived they either had been branded or
spirited away in some other shape.
ANnrtlamc o( Euchre.
The English have made an improvement
in the mode of playing this game, a descrip
tion ot which will no doubt prove interesting
to euchre players. Por example, with every
pack of playing cards sold there is one
blank card at the top of the deck, used in
this country frequently as a “marker.” But
the English make a better use of this white
faced card. They include it in the suits,
making fifty-three instead of fiity-two, and
to the euchre deck twenty-nine instead ot
twenty-eight cards. This blank card at first
was called “Louis Napoleon,” but has been
subsequently corrupted into the less eupho
nious title of "Yerker.” The “yerker,”
then, is the highest ranking card in the
cachro deck, having capacity to capture
either of the “bowers,” or the ace, so that a
matt may be euchred even with the ace and
two “bowers." Whenever the “yerker” is
turned up by the dealer that person has the
privilege of “making the trump,” and can
make it to the most advantageous suit in his
hand. The game is novel, and we under
stand affords much diversion to the players.
[lu place of using the regular euchre
pack of thirty-two cards, add in tho “sixes,”
making thirty-six as a “euchre packthen
scrape off nicely tho tour corner spots on the
“five of spades,” leaving the centro one on
the card, thus making the “one of spades”
tho best caul in the pack. The object in
increasing the number of cards to thirty-six
is, that the chances of tho “new ace" being
dealt out will bo better for players than tho
usual number.
The “new ace" being llius the best card,
tho holder need not play it on either “bower”
unless he chooses, thus giving his partner
an opportunity to take the trick.]
