National Ucpublican TANARUS" 4UOtW t'A. t*A, BATUR"AY MORNINB February It. IMS From tb« Atlanta Opinion.] SUUclonsUtuUonnl Convention Thihsoay, Feb. 13, 1868. Convention met et regular hour. Prayer by the Chaplain. The journal was read and approved. Quo rum Mtßent, Messrs. Cmattkbh, lUrrisok of Unucock, Davis and Stewart asked leave to change their rote on the passage of the third sec lion of the article of Franchise from nay to yea: Messrs. Jotssa and Sikes from yea to nay : snd Mr. Waltox asked to record hts rote in the affirmative. On motion, leave was granted. The first businees in order was the motion ol Mr. CorriNc, to suspend the rules, for the purpose of allowing the following resolution to be considered : . Whereas, sotuo unauthorized person baa undertaken to institute proceedings in the Supreme Court of the Uuited States, in the name of the State of Georgia vs. Generals Grant, Meade, and others, there fore. Resolved by this Convention, represent ing the people and sovereignty of the State of Georgia, that no person has been em powered by any statute of this State, or by any ordinance of this Convention, to com mence or prosecute any snch suit, and that the people of Georgia, as plaintiffs, will not litigate said suit, and demand that it be dismissed from said Court. Resolved. That as it may be necessary that an Attorney should bo employed to represent the State of Georgia in said suit, the Hon. B. 11. Bigham, of Troup county, be authorized and empowered to represent .the State in the above mentioned case be fore the Supreme Court, and procure the dismissal of the same. . D. G. Cottikg explained his position and the motives which induced him to offer the resolution. The resolution only provided for the ap pointment of an attorney to represent the State of Georgia in case it might be neces sary. Contingencies might arise that would require such a representation. The Gov ernment had, it was said, employed counsel to represent itself, but it appeared that the suit was brought in the name of the State of Georgia, and the State did not appear to be directly represented in the case. It was to provide against any contingencies which might arise, injurious to the State, that this resolution was offered. They could not tell, from the meagre information before them, what was the ground of the suit, but the design was plain enough—it was a part of the warfare instituted against reconstruction, in which the Supreme Court had been attempted lo be made a weapon. As to the objection of the expense of employing an attorney, it might boa matter of sound economy. If the State of Georgia is cast in the suit she would be, so far as anything appears to the contrary, cast in the cost, and it was not to be supposed that the Hon. Mr. Black was going to work for nothing, nor that Governor Jenkins, if lie was the person instigaring the suit, was going to pay him out of his own pocket; Black would demand bis fee from tbe Treasury of Georgia. Therefore, the ques tion was, whether it was more economical to run tbe pecuniary risk of a prolonged and expensive law suit, or to dismiss it at once. Mr. Prince moved the previous question, which motion prevailed, and the main question, the motion to suspend the rules, was lost—yeas 48, nays 55. The report of the Committee on Fran chise was taken up, and the fourth section was read, as follows: Sec. 4. All persons before registering must take and prescribe the following oath : “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the Constitution and laws of Georgia; that I :yn not excluded from registering by any of the clauses of section 3, article —of the Constitution of Georgia; that I will never countenance nor aid in the secession of this State from the United States. So help me God.” Mr. Whiteley moved to strike ont tlio whole section. Mr. Dunning offered the following as a substitute. Sec. 4. All electors, if required to regis ter, most take and subscribe the following oath : “I do solemnly swear, (or affirm), that I will sopport and maintain the Con stitution and laws of the United States, and the Constitution and laws of Georgia, and that I will never countenance nor aid m the secession of this State from the United States, So help me God.” Mr. McCay moved to strike out ot the last clause of the substitute, the following words : “and that I will never countenance nor aid in the secession of this State from the United States.” Mr. Dunning asked leave to withdraw his substitute, which was granted. Mr. Dunning moved to amend the oiiginal section by striking out the words “persons” and "before” in the first line, and insert "electors if required to register ” Mr. WfiITELEY moved the previous question, which motion was sustained, and the question recurred upon the amend ment of Mr. Dunning, which was adopted. The question then recurred upon the motion to strike out the whole section, and the yeas and nays were ordered, and re suited—yeas 72, nays 60. So the motion to strike out prevailed. Section five was read as follows : Sec. 5. Electors shall, in all cases ex cept treason, felony, or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest and civil process for five days before the first day of elec tion, on the day of election, and ten days subsequent to the last day of election Mr. McCay moved to amend by striking out all after tbe word " process,” and iu sorting the words, “ whilst going to, re maining at, and returning from election.” The main question was ordered Mr. Conley called for a division of the question, and the motion to strike out was lost. Mr. Whitely moved to strike out the words " and civil process,” upon which motion the yeas and nays were ordered, and resulted, yeas 71, nays 60. So the motion to strike out prevailed, and the section as amended was adopted. Sec. C was read as follows: It shall be tbe duty of the General Assem bly to enact adequate laws, giving protec tion against the evils arising from the use of intoxicating liquors at elections. Mr. Conley moved to strike out the words “at elections." Motion lost. Mr. Murphy offered the following gub stfute, which was adopted: Skc. 6. The sale oUintoxicating liquors on days of election in mis State is hereby forever prohibited. Sections 7 and 9 were read as follows, and adopted. Sec? 7. Returns of elections lor all civil officers, elected by the people, who are to be commissioned by the Governor, and also for tbe members es the Generul Assembly, shall be made to tbe Secretary of fctate, un less otherwise provided by the General As sembly. Sec. 8. It shall be the duty of tbe General Assembly to enact adequate laws giving pro- tectioa to electors before, during, and subse quent to elections. Section 9 was read, ns follows t ' Sec. 9. The election of Governor, Sena tors and Representatives shall be on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, unless otherwise provided by the General Assembly. . ... , Mr. Bryant moved to insert the words “members ot Congress” after the word Gov ernor : the words “after the year 18G8" after the word Representatives, and to strike out the word “be” and insert “commence” in lieu thereof. Lears of absence was granted to Mesbrs. Shields and Roberts. Mr Bryant moved tho previous qnostion, which motion was sustained, when the ques tion recurred upon the amendments of Mr. Bryaxt, which were agreed to, and the section as amended was adopted: Sec. 9. The election for Governor, Mem bers of Congress, Senators, and Representa tives, after the year 1868, shall commence on Tuesday after the first Monday in No vember, unless otherwise provided by the General Assembly. Sec. 10 was read : Sec. 10. All qualified electors, aud none others, shall be eligible to any office in this State unless disqualified by the Constitution of this State, or by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Martin, of Habersham, offered a substitute, wnich was lost. Mr. Crane moved to insert after the word electors the words “ who have been citizens of the United States for seven years,” upon which motion tho yeas and nays were ordered and resulted, yeas 31, nays 69. Mr. Harris, of Newton, moved to strike out the 10th section. Mr. McCat offered tho following amend ment : Insert alter the word “ election” the words “ citizens of the Uuited States, who can read and subscribe the oath of office, except and squalified by physical disa bility.” After discussion Mr. Whitely moved the Convention adjourn. Agreed to, and the Convention adjourned PERSONAL ITEMS. Susan Benin has had more husbands than any other American actress, the ever-marry ing Menken always excepted. Isaac 11. England is the managing editor, and Thomas Hitchcock the principal leader writer on Dana’s Sun. Ristori still talks of making this country her permanent home, and of selecting New York as her place ofkycsidence. It is talked in fashionable circles that Robert Lincoln is soon to marry Secretary Harlan’s daughter. Mr. Donn Platt, the noted Western politi cian, a brother of the poet Platt, is writing letters from New York to the Cincinnati Commercial , J D. Osborne, for many years the busi ness manager and one of the proprietors of the Louisville (Ky.) Journal, has retired from that office. An admiring Virginian has presented to Gen. Lee “the most magnificent hat ever seen in Alexandria—broad brimmed, high crowned felt, elegantly trimmed." ’1 he New York young ladies most admired in Paris this winter are Miss Fanny North, Miss Fanny Jerome, the Misses Baldwin, Miss’Reyuolds and Miss Ildger. M. Benazet, the proprietor of the groat gaming palace at Baden-Baden, who recently died, has had solemn funeral music per* formed for his obsequies in that city. GENERAL ITEMS. A Paris Princess has just paid $20,000 for a single ball dress. Edward Edwards, a Cincinnatian, was murdered near Vicksburg on the 24th ult. Judge Busteed has recovered from his wounds, and is again holding court in Mobile. The Duchess de Morny is to marry the Spanish Duke of Samgaud, and Nap doesn't like it. Why is a son who objects to bis mother’s second marriage like an exhausted pedes trian 1 Because he can’t go a step father. Figures can’t lie,” says the arithme tician. - You can’t say that about wo men’s figures in these days,” responds the slanderous dressmaker. Thackeray thought childicn should be taught whilst at ten or twelve, as a part of their educatiou, and favored a professor of the game. A Paris actress fell near the footlights, bnt escaped injury from the circumstance that she had nothing on which could take fire. A correspondent of the Carlinville Dem ocrat says there aro eight hundred and fifty students in all the departments of the Illi nois Normal University. The Astor House (N. Y.), it is under stood, will soon be temporarily closed for complete renovation, repairs, and refin ished from saloon to liuils-eye parlor. Mrs. McGooty, the mother of fourteen children, committe i suicide at Newport, N. H., last week, by hacking herself with an axe and then cutting her throat with a razor. Colonel Edward Maynard, United States Consul at Turks Island, and the eldest son of Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, died at Turks Island on the 10th of January. The Astor House, in New York, is to remain a hotel for seven years longer, a new lease for that term having just been executed. One of Mr. Gladstone's speeches, con taining 16,882 words, was lately tele graphed from Liverpool to London, for the morning papers, in two hours and ten minutes. When a young gentlemau kisses a \ ourig lady, she very naturally says, “ Oil, Dick, the idea !” And he, also naturally, replies, “ No, love ; not the eye, dear ; but the check, dear.” Which Is perfectly true, •• Why do you set your cup of coffee on the chair, Mr. Jones?” asked a worthy lady one morning at breakfast. “Itis so very weak,” said Jones, " I thought I would let it rest.” The Chicago 'l'imes says there are, 25,000 unemployed men, and 19,000 recip ients of charity in Chicago, nnd reminds them that $1,000,000 were lost to their families by their uncalled-for and unavail ing strike last summer. Miss Caroline Richings, whose marriage we recently chronicled, was a little waif upon the world, picked up in the streets of New York by Mr, Kitciiings, adopted and educated by him, and at an early age placed upon the stage. It is said to bo dangerous to be working with a sewing machine near a window when there is a thunder storm.

According to statistician Dclmar, of Washington, the increase ot tho aggregate length of railroads in tho country in 1867 was 5,719 miles, built at a cost of $61,506,714. The total length ot roads is 38.605 miles, which cest sixteen hundred millions of dollars. The South Carolina Reconstruction Con vention is said to bo becoming more liberal thau any other of the unreconstructed States. It is likely that it will pass a bill allowing everybody to vote without regard to past records, but will disfranchise the late rebels from holding office. Mr. Augustus Young, and his wife, Cath erine Young, of Polk county, both seventy years ot age, died on the 2d instant. They were old citizens, prominently identified with the history of that portion of Georgia, and highly esteemed by too people among whom they had lived so long. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, shocked at tho terrible, and as he says, needless torture of criminals by hanging, suggests that hereafter they may be made to touch a wire communicating with twelve Leyden jars, when death by electricity would be instantaneous and painless. We find a fish story in a Western paper. Beaver Lake, Wisconsin, froze over wholly this year, with only one small air hole, to which the fish crowded in such numbers that many were pushel out upon the ice, so that the farmers carried them off liy the sled load to feed tbeir hogs.

The newcomers represent a capital ot SIOO,OOO, nml it is anticipated that, within la few weeks, an additional tract of 4,000 acres will bo bought for the mme purpose. Thrifty immigrants from abroad, who bring strong arms with them, and are willing to work, should always be welcomed. Among the fashionable weddings reported in New York was that, last week, of Colonel Randall Lee Gibson and Miss Mary Mont gomery, who gave several fine entertain ments last season. Tbe ceremony was performed in St. Ann's Church. The at ten lance was large and iashiomible.
