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 the Chair. Mr. Uiokk, from the Committee on Jour nals, reported os duly enrolled and ready for the signature of the President and attention ot the Secretary, the following: Resolution to print two hundred copies of the Constitution. Resolution tendering (hanks to the Mayor and Council ot Atlanta. Preamble and Resolution requesting a loan of SIOO,OOO for the South Georgia A Florida Railroad. Resolution Ot thanks to General Meade. Resolution requesting Union Re publican Association at Washingtou to print and publish 20,000 copies of the Constitution adopted by this Convention, for circulation in Georgia. Resolution to authorize the Business Committee to employ a clerk. Or dinance to establish Congressional Districts in this State. On motion of Mr. Hotcukiss, the action on the voter’s oath was reconsidered, and on 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 the use of the Convention ; be it therefore Resolved, That the Disbursing Agent pay to the President, Secretary and Journalizing Clerks SIOO each, and to each of the mem 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. GENERAL ITEMS. lowa does not owe a dollar. Population of St. Louis, 230,000. Vermont raised 59,000 pounds of tobacco iu 1866.

A lady and her daughter do all the work in the printing office in Ossipee, N. H. In Jail for Libel —the Troy editor who published a list ol the old maids in that city. 244,720 letters mailed in Boston the first week in January, and 62,850 drop letters. The London Times lost 5,000 subscribers last year, but its profits were $700,000. On Dit—James Gordon Bennett has not written a line for the Herald for five years. Length of the Ohio river, nine hundred miles; number of steamers upon its waters, five hundred. A forlorn editor says it is hard to live without a wife—no gentle heart to get up mornings to build the fire. England uses 220,000 pounds of paper annually ; France 195,000 pounds, and the United States 400,000 pounds. Montana is three times as large as Mis souri; square miles, 172,800; population, 65,000 ; total valuation, $6,308,118. An editor says his cotemporary driuks so much whiskey that mosquitoes biting him die of delirium tremens. Providence, It. 1., in proportion to its population, is the wealthiest city in the Union. A Canadian editor, attacked by a ruffian on a bridge, threw him into the river and made an item of him. It will require nineteen votes in the Senate to defeat impeachment. The number of Democratic Senators is eleven. The offer of George Francis Train to be one of the jurors to try the Fenian General Nagle, at Sligo, was declined. A lady of Moble recently captured a bald eagle while it was endeavoring to carry off a kid in her back yard. The estate of Elias Howe, Jr., of Bridge port, the great sewing machine inventor, is represented to be insolvent. California is to have a paper in the Rus sian language for the six thousand persons of that nationality in the State. Bernard Tully, a Catholic priest ot New London, Connecticut, has been silenced for associating too freely with Protestants. The farmers in the vicinity of St. Joseph, Missouri, are already breaking up their land, the frost being entirely out of the ground. A member of one of the cooperative socie ties in London, writes that he has saved enough by it to take his family on a conti nental trip. In the good old times a Persian girl who ow.ied a little property—a hut or a fishing boat—was thereby legally authorized to pick out a husband. Prince Iturbide, the heir of the unfortu nate Maximilian, lives on Georgetown Heights. He is now between six and seven years ot age. The latest story about Edwin Booth’s matrimonial intentions, is that he will soon marry Miss MeVicker, the popular Chicago actress. According to a statement in the New York Evening Post, upwards of three millions of dollars per annum, are spent in that city for charitable purposes. Criminal and fancifully illustrated newspa pers are not allowed to be sold on the Penn sylvania Railroad. We hope their sale will te generally prohibited soon. House rents in Chicago average from S2O to $250 per month. Tenements are said to be very scarce there, notwithstanding the extraordinary number of buildings erected last year. An insurance company has been started in New York that insures against loss by bur glars. One of the papers demandsacornpany to insure householders against thefts by maid servants. A good sort of a man was recently asked to subscribe to a chandelier for a church. “Now,” said he, “wha't the the use of a chandelier? After you get it you can’t get .any one to play on it.” A man in New York who was fined ten dollars for fast driving paid the Judge ten dollars more, remarking as he did so that he should drive fast again that same afternoon. He was committed for contempt. Edwin Forrest has sued the Memphis and Louisville Railroad for $2,000, on account of the loss of his trunks with all his wardrobe, which prevented his fulfilling his engage ment at Bt. Louis. “Is this what the ladies wear around their waists ?"’ asked a country youth of a friend who was a clerk in a dry goods store in the city. “Os corset is,” replied the counter jumper, with a mischeivous wink. Ritualism has reached anew form in Bromptom, England. The music is performed by an orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Sullivan, the promising composer. The authority for the practice is found in the psalms. By means of that wonderful optical instru ment, the spectreßcope, the existence of watery vapor around the as well as in the atmosphere of Mars and has, it is asserted by Jannscn, been clearly indicated. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania will issue “The Correspondence of William Penn and Family with James Logan—l7oo, 1750.” The work will comprise two vol umes, and will bo edited by Edward Arm strong, Esq. The Springfield Union thinks that tlio ladies of that city have exercised their leap year privileges, from the fact that thirty-three marriage certificates were issued from the city clerk’s office during the monthof Febru ary. f|At a recent tiro in Dixfield, Maine, John itltlcr sat on the ridgepole of a house and poured water over on tbo end of it until his arms, face, and breast wore blistered ; but he thereby saved a large village from almost total destruction. An English paper states that the new edition of Lamb’s works has “been intrusted to some parsou so devoid of tbs sense ol literary congruity, that if the critics do not influence the publishers to stop him, he is going to let George Augustes Sala write tbe introductory essay.” In Philadelphia, a few evenings since, three females were occupying one room to gether, when a quarrel arose between them. Finally, one threw a lighted kerosene lamp at another, and it exploded, spattering the oi! over the third, burning her so dreadfully that she has since died. A Savannah letter, alluding to the recent rise in cotton, says: “More than one firn. prides itself on haying made a neat piece of trade during the shost lived upward flight. One house, that of Moses k Brady, are said to have netted fifty thousand dollars by tbe sadden rise.” There is some speculation as to the length of time that will be allowed the President to prepare for trial, after settling the prelimina ries and notification has been served. The general impression is that he will get from ten to twenty days to arrange his defence. Meantime the two houses will proceed with thnir regular legislative.business. It is announced thaf in England, whilst the poor marry, the well to-do avoid marriage to such an extent that two women in every five of the whole number of English women are unmarried, and the total of these unmar ried amounts to the great number of .1,527,- 000. Id London, forty-one per cent, of the women of marriageable age are spinsters, and in five English cofhitiea there are forty five per cent. Said a fond mother to a young hopeful of eight: “Tommy, my boy, fetch in a atick of wood.” “Ah, mother, responded the youth, “the grammatical portion of your education has teen sadly neglected ; you should have said : ‘Thomas, my son, transport from that recumbent collection of combustible mate rial upon the threshold of this edifice, one of the curtailed excresences of a defunct log.' ” Surprise has often been manifested by philologists at the fact that the word “sack,' 1 variously spelled, is found in many lan guages. One of the most ingenious ex planations is that of Recanus, who said that at the tower of Babel, every one took away his valuables in a sack, the most indispen sable article for a long journey, and that no one forgot the name of the thing which was all in all to him. A tall Eastern girl, named Short, long loved a big Mr. Little; while Little, thinking little of Short, loved a little lass named Long. To make a long story short, Little proposed to Long, and Short longed to be even with Little’s shortcomings. So Short, meeting Long, threatened to marry Little before long, which caused Little in a short time to marry Long. (Query).—Did tall Short love big Little less because Little loved Loug 2 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. NEW SPRING GOODS!
