NationalEepnbltcan AU6UBTA. »A. FRIDAY MORNING January IT. 18«8 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.] SPECIAL NOTICES.
