THE STATE CONVENTION *
If the reader has patience to read
through the preluding partisan twaddle
of the courteous press-agent at Atlanta, it
will be seen that the Georgia Convention
adjourned yesterday afternoon, subject to
the call of the President.
The thanks of our people who favor a
speedy return of peace and prosperity, will
be heartily accorded to their faithful repre
sentatives in the Reconstruction Conven
tion.
iMPEA CHMENT—A PRECEDENT.
All history protests that liberties arc im
perilled, and nations driven to bloodshed
and revolution, by acquiescence in Execu
tive aggression, by toleration of crime in
high places, and by neglect of legislative
bodies and their constituents to make
prompt and sturdy stand for their rights
and privileges. Democracies may fall into
transient excesses; but these excesses cor
rect themselves, and, instead of growing into
precedents, tend to produce reaction.
Mexico furnishes no exception; its evils
arise from the conflicts of petty despots,
from the appeal to arms on trifling pre
texts, from the overthrow of the supremacy
of law. In that unhappy country are ex
hibited the evils of trampling on constitu
tions and statutes, and neglecting to cor
rect wrong by peaceful means.
No precedent can be so dangerous as
impunity in crime on the part of the chief
magistrate. The enforcement of law, even
with a stem hand, against so exalted a
criminal, is the strongest lesson which the
world can have that our institutions are
just and equal, and the application of legal
penalties impartial. Experience has proved
that our Executive is not lacking in
authority and influence. In directing
legislation he has acquired a control which
thoughtful men have long regarded as
dangerous. In the Kansas-Nebraska
struggle, Mr. Buchanan exercised as inti
mate a control over legislation as Louis
Napoleon would dare to assume in France.
During Mr. Johnson's career he has wielded
the vetoppo r er to an extent and in a man
ner such as no sovereign of England, since
the Tudors, would venture upon. The
drift of events has exalted the President
to a control and weight in our system,
which, aside from specific offences, has
grown to be ominous of danger. When
that control is carried by crime into at.
tacks on written laws—when the exagger
ated powers are intensified into despotism
—when deliberate war is waged on the
law-making branch of the government and
tire functions of the judicial authority are
usurped, the need for vigorous and de
cided action in defence of popular liberty
can not be denied ; and refusal to assume
the attitude of defence on the part of
people and legislature becomes a crime
against humanity and its progress, as well
as against the republic.
The Senate is to' establish a precedent.
Its action in this individual case will
define and fix the limits of Executive
power. Acquittal of Mr. Johnson will be
approval of his assumptions, concession
that he may at pleasure enforce or suspend
or nullify laws, and may rule without
counsellor or restriction. Here is the real
danger of precedent. Nor are the conse
quences remote. Such acquittal would
render Mr. Johnson at once the autocrat of
the land. Above his caprice no law, no
authority would stand. On the other
hand, the contingency of harm would be
slight. Suppose doubt were to exist of
the propriety of his conviction, removal
from office would be the only wrong which
would happen to him. The constitution
would stand os heretofore. No new power
would attach by precedent to auy branch
of the government.
Every way the danger to the republic
threatens, not from the conviction of
Andrew Johnson, but from the possibility
of failure to convict and remove him.
Let no precedent be established that any
American in any station is beyond the con
trol of law. The removal of Mr. Johnson
will demonstrate that on no head shall
rest a crown—no hand shall wield u sceptre
in this land—but the Constitution and the
luws are over all, and will be enforced im
partially for and against every citizen. *
From tbs Atlanta Naw Brad
State Constitution ul Couientloii
Aylaitoa, March 10, 18&1.
The Convention mot pursuant to adjourn
ment, Hon. J. R. Parrott, the Proeident, to

On motion of Mr. Hotcukiss, the action

motion of Mr. Whiteley, the words “or dia
suade” were stricken out.
Mr. Martin, of Habersham, introduced
the following:
Whereas, It is ascertained that there
wjll be on hand fifteen thousand dollars for

Resolved, That the Disbursing Agent pay

bers S9O, and that the balance of said fund
be paid pro rata (o the officers of this Con
vention.
Resolved, further, That the balance of all
the expenses of this Convention, to wit:
The pay of members and officers together
with all contingent expenses, be settled up
in scrip or warrants by the Disbursing Agent
and Auditiug Committee.
On motion of Mr. Whiteley, the resolu
tion was amended by inserting after the
word “Secretary,” “Assistant Secretary,”
and as amended was adopted.
Mr. Welch offered the following, as an
additional article to the Constitution :
STAT* INSTITUTIONS.
Section 1. It shall be the duty of the
General Assembly to provide by law for the
support of institutions for the education of
the deaf and dumb, and for the blind, and
also for the reception aud treatment of the
insane.
Sec. 2. The General Assembly shall have
power to provide houses ot refuge for the
correction and reformation of juvenile
offenders, and also to provide farms as homes
or asylums for such persons as by reason ol
old age, loas of limbs, or other extreme mis
fortune, may have a just and proper claim
upon the aid of society.
Mr. Bryant offered the following as
.section 2, to the Committee on Miscellaneous
Matters, which was adopted:
1. All officers, except the members of the
General Assembly, shall hold their offices
until their successors are elected and
qualified.
2. When the duration of any officer is not
provided by this- Constitution, it may be
declared by law, and, if not so declared,
such office shall be held during the pleasure
of the authority making the appointment,
but the Legislative Assembly shall not
create any office, the tenure of which shall
be longer than four years.
Mr. Bryant offered a report providing
that the elections of cities, towns and
incorporated villages, for Mayor, Aldermen,
and other municipal officers, except such as
have been appointed by the military au
thorities, be elected on and at the same
time the Governor, members of Congress,
and of the General Assembly of the State,
are elected.
On motion of Mr. Whiteley, the report
was amended by striking out “except such
as have been appointed by Military au
thority.”
Mr. Parrott offered a substitute providing
that when the time provided by law for the
election of municipal officers in the cities,
towns and incorporated villages of the Stale,
for 1868, has passed, the election for such
officers shall be held cti the first Wednesday
in June, 1868, and persons so elected shall
hold their offices until the regular election
provided by law for said elections, and until
their successors are elected.
The amendment was lost by a vote of yeas
63, nays 68.
Mr. Harris, of Chatham, from the Com
mittee on Printing, submitted a report
recommending the printing of 50,000 copies
of the Constitution for distribution in the
State, and printing of 1,000 copies of the
debates and proceedings.
The report was discussed until 1 o’clock,
the hour of adjournment, when the President
adjourned the Convention.
AFTEKNOON SESSION.
The report of the Committee on Printing
was taken up, and the "Convention resolved
that the Printing Committee be instructed
to provide for the publication of 5,000 copies
of the Constitution for distribution in the
State.
The Convention laid on the table the ques
tion of publishing the Constitution in certain
newspapers in the State, and also the propo
sition to publish the debates of the Conven
tion, and resolved to publish 1,500 copies of
the Journals.
The rules were suspended, aqd Mr. Con
let moved to rescind the action of the Con
vention to adjourn on Wednesday, the 11th
inst., at 12 o’clock ni.
On this question the yeas were 74, nays
42.
The Chair decided that it required two
thirds to rescind the resolution, and that the
motion to rescind was lost.
Mr. Conley appealed from the decision of
the chair, (Mr. Saffold in the chair), main
taining that the two third rules had ope
rated to suspend the rules for the purpose of
taking up tho motion, and therelore only a
majority was necessary to pass the motion
to rescind.
Pending the consideration of the appeal,
the hour of 6 o’clock having arrived the
President took tbe chair and declared the
Convention adjourned.
ONE WORD FOR HARMONY.
In a few words we again urge harmony
among the reconstruction party. There are a
few defections; but all such are urged to
come back and work for the cause as they
have done heretofore. The doors are still
open, but the first and second calls have
been made, and the bolters are urged to
come back at once, and they will find the
true friends of reconstruction ready to wel
come them.
The nominations were made by the Con
vention without a dissenting voice. They
will go befbreithe people sanctioned by the
Only body that had power to send them out,
and they will receive the support of the
great reconstruction party of the State. Op
position is useless and foolish. It will avail
no one anything. The so-called Democracy
are singing Te Deunis over what they con
sider a rupture in 'the party. Ben. Hill is
here helping his friends to gloat over it, and
to-night he may speak, and if so, will attempt
to show that the reoonstructionists have
overthrown themselves, nnd that there is a
chance to defeat the pnrty.
Our plea for harmony is again urged with
the kindest feeling for all, and with an
earnest desire to promote the cause of recon
struction. Wo are not willing to separate
from a single individual who has worked
with us so far. We want all to harmonize
by lading aside all individual preferences,
and giving their full and individual support
to the action of the Convention.
This, above all others, is the time when
the party should act as one man. It muet
move upon the enemy in solid phalanx, pre
senting an unbroken front. Adopting such
polioy, succees i* sure; for the enemies of
reconstruction have no means of overcoming
the overwhelming movement now going on
in the State.
Colonel Bullock is a good man, and will
devote his whole energy and talents to the
interests of the people of Georgia.. He is
earnest in the work of reconstruction, is a
gpod financier, is identified in every interest
with the people of Georgia, has no interest
that is not in common vnth the masses, and
will, without doubt, make a most efficient
Executive officer. Let the people inlly
around him as the standard bearer of the
great Constitutional Reconstruction party,
and ero long the old State will be lifted up
and placed again in her proper orbit among
theAither States, coequal with them all in
her rights and immunities under the Na
tional Constitution.— Atlanta Era.

The Great Eastern steamship seems to be
a decidedly unlucky vessel. The last great
contract with the French Company, to carry
passengers to the Paris Exhibition, proved
an utter breakdown ; and the ship has been
lying idle for some months, at a cost of $350
a week for expenses. At a recent meeting
of the company, a stockholder proposed to
turn the ship into a floating hotel. But the
chairman of the meeting thought more
cables would be laid ; and that the Great
Eastern was the only ship fit to lay them,
aud, therefore, that a good time was yet
coming to the company.
Bullock Elected—Ben Hill's Speech.
Ben Hill took an emetic at Davis’ Hall,
yesterday afternoon, and puked all over the
Constitution, rubbing the vomit in. We had
a phonographic reporter on hand, and mean
not only to publish the speech in the Era,
but in pamphlet form also, that it may be
placed into the hands of every voter in
Georgia, in order to insure the ratification of
the Constitution, and the election of Mr.
Bullock by at least forty thousand majority.
Ben came just in time to heal all woands in
the Reconstruction party, and cause it to go
forth as one man to battle. He has been in
training for some time, hut he was not
trained well, for ho kicked out of all the
harness and smashed things generally. He
balked, reared, and plunged, and wrecked
the vehicle he was sent here to draw.
Howell Oobb, his secret manager, had better
get him into anew harness at once, and
force a stouCcurb bit in his mouth, and then
lay on the lash pretty heavily, and perhaps
he may trot around the ring all right. But
his speech will be a fine reconstruction cam
paign document, and as such we mean to
send it out.— Atlanta Era.
