We of the Bouth, in the present times, when parties are developing a style of taotioa comparatively new,to the country, cannot afford to have offloers whose views are not well defined, and in eoeord with the prevailing political opinion of the ma jority of intelligent votera. We cannot afford “mixed" men. The Republicans wall ktjow this, and are aware that when they oppose Democracy Openly they have uo chance of anocesa. Their course in Mississippi shows they mean to altar theii own policy. They will now propose no candidates of their own, but lie in wait aud support the Independent, who oomes nearer suiting their purposes—those who are weak in the cause and have bolted Democratic Convections. Senator Ben Hill in a grand speech to Democrats in our Opera House last fall gave the following wiaa counsel : “Vote for no man of doobtful avoeiationa." This shonld be graven on every heart that loves hie southland. Of tbs merits of independent candidates wa have nothing to aay. Very frequently they are the superiors of the nominees. Often the latter become the ohoioe of oonventione by means of paoked delega tions, bat it ia beet to keep the party in tMH and maintain those who are recog nised exponents through the regular channel* of party. Republicanism, yet hopes to win a viotory through “indepen dents,” and (hay may aumad aalaaa D—noorata and OonaarratiTaa «i<n( Vo their organization. In conventions ali theoretically have an equal advantage, and candidates rarely bolt nominations uuioea they are assured of Radical support. That ia not given, exoept in lha fewest possible instances, unless the independent ia deemed leas devoted to Democratic principles. Remember to vote for UAAue of doubtful associations. In Alabama wa note occasionally inde pendents are running. They cannot yet be supported with aalety, and the Demo crats should rally to their nominees. The Republicans hops by their newly adopted Uotias and indirect methods to win beck power, and their design should be thwarted at the outeet. Alabamian* should have a special view to Una ia the August elec lions. CIANUEI IN THE BILL OF EIGHT!. Id comparing the Bill of Rights as re ported by the committee with that of tbe present Constitution, we find that sub- tantially it is the ssrae. Borne verbal hangee are mads, and also some changes in the arrangement of sentences and in expression, but these are not material. The following ohangee, however, are proposed: 1. That all government, of right, orig inates from the people, ia founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole; that magis trates are their trustee* aud servant*, and all times amiable to them. 2. Thet a long continuance in the Ex ecutive departments of power and trust, is dangerous to liberty, a rotation, there fore, in these departments, is one of tbe best securities of perfect freedom. These ere proper declarations and are well expressed, end we take it for granted will be adopted without objection. Beotion 8 is as follows : No peraon accused shall be compelled to pey costs, exoept after oonviction, on Anal trial. This is an amendment, and is one very proper to be made. There was a law passed some years ago providing that no person shonld be allowed to give bond in a criminal oase until he paid the eoste, and we understand that a similar act was introdnoed in the last Legislature which applied only to Chatham oonnty. 18. Banishment beyond tbe limits of s Btate, as a punishment for crime, shall not be allowed. This is an amendment, and we hope will also bs adopted by our sister Btstes. It is right that ws should keep our crimi nals within our owo borders, and that other Btates should do the same. Bection 19 provides that “tbe General Assembly shall have the power to provide for tbe punishment of fraud,’’ whilst the 15th section of the p/eeent Constitution reads: “The punishment of ail frande shall be provided by lew.” Qua confers the authority; the qihftt Meins to impose tbe duty of moulding by law for the pnn- iebnont of frand. The seotion in relation to taxation is the same with this amendment in the 21st seotion: The Legislature may, howaver, imposo snob a tax upon domestic animals who from their nature and habits are de structive of other property, aa may be rea sonable and proper." This is a strike at i.be dogs. Herstofore oue of the objections urged against dog laws was that a tax of so much per head, Instead of such a per cent, on their value would be unconstitutional. This amend ment removes this objeotion and we sup pose will be adopted. 24. No oity or other municipal corpora tion shall ever issue any boud, for any purpose wbatevor, except to pay its debt now in exietenoe, or to redeem ita bonds now ootatauding; nor shell it oreate any other debt, exoept to pay current 6xpen- aes, and publio improvements within cor porate limits. Tbia is an amendment, and introduces a most important restriction upon tbe power of the General Assembly in refer ence to granting power to municipal cor porations. Tbe flrat step taken towards the restriction of tbe issue of bonds by cities was the passage of an act in 1874, providing that no such bonds should be issued unless authorized by a vote of two- tbirds of tho qualified voters. This aot was introduced by Mr. Fee- body, of this oouuty, and it was by his effort It was pawed. Tbe amendment proponed, following tbe spirit of this law, forever puts an end to this evil. We most heartily support it and trust there will be no opposition to its adoption. 23. Tbe Legislature huoI* uoi uavo power to delegate to any county tbe right to levy a tax for any purpose, exoept for educational purposes; to build and repair the public buildings and bridges; to main-' tain and anpport prisoners; to pay jurors and expenses of oourte; to support pau pers and pay debts heretofore existing. Tbia ia a substitute for Section 28,which reads aa follows : “Tha General Assembly may grant the power of Taxation to coun ty snthoritiea and municipal corporations, to ba exorcised within their several terri torial lituite.” The difference between the two is that the one proposed limits the objeots of taxation whilst the present Constitution leaves that to the discretion of the county authorities. Ws think the better plan would be to limit tbe amount of taxes to be levied. Even with the utmost care it will be found impracticable to include all the va rious items of county expense nnder a faw specific heads. 26. No bill of attainder, ex poet facto law, retroaotiva Isw, or any law impairing tbe obligations of contracts, or any law making auy irrevocable grant of special privileges or immunities shall be passed. Tbia much of this paragraph to-wii : “No bill of attainder, eat poet facto law, or any law impairing the obligations of oontraots;" is unnecessary as the same provisions are contained in the Gonstitn- of the United States, and are there fore as ninding as though in the Goneti- tution of the Btate. That part prohibiting the passage of a retro-active law ie a mere principle. It oula off all power In the General Assembly to ratify and make valid any aet of any peraon or offioera, or oi any municipal county authority. We suppose lawyers ill be divided in opinion upon tbe wis dom of this amendment. Tbe balance of the paragraph ia, we think, good polioy, 32. Lews of a general nature shell have UIll I orUJ 0|Mtiiiuu iliiuMjjuuui iki and no special law shall be enacted in any , for which provision haa been made by aa existing general law. This ie a substitute for the following: Bnc 26. Laws shall hava a general op eration. and no general law, affecting private righta, shall be varied in any par^- tionlar case by special legislation, except with the free oonaeat, in wnting, of all persona to be affected thereby; and no P reon under legal disability to oontract capable of auoh‘free con sent. We uunn me amendment is a decided improvement on the Constitution. It may be qneationed whether the provision aa to special laws goea far enough. We would prefer it should read thus t “No special law shall be enacted in any oaaa for which provision haa been or could be made by a general lau,” *6. The people of thie Bute have the inherent, sole and axoloaiva right of reg ulating their internal government, and tha police thereof, and of altering and abolishing their Constitution and form of government whenever it may be neeraca- ry to their safety end bapploetw, tot every such right should be exercised in pursuance of lav, and consistently with the Constitution of the United Btate*. 36. Tbe Goremmont of the Unites Btates is s Federal and not a eoosolidaUd Republic, and tbe integrity of tbe Union, nnder tbia Government, composed of co equal States, depends upon the in viola- billy of the powers reserved, as well aa tbe powers prohibited to, and delegated by, the Btates in tha Constitution of the United Btate*. These two sections are intended as sub stitutes for Bection 83 of the present Con stitution, which we join that tbe ohange may be seen: Bee. 88. The BUM of Georgia shall ever remain a member of tbe American Union ; the people thereof are a part of the American Nation; every Citizen thereof owes paramount allegiance to the Gonatitntion and Government of the United BUtes, and no Law or Ordinance of this Bute, in oontravention or eabver- sion thereof, shall ever have any binding force. Tbe following section In the present Constitution is omitted : Bee. 30. Mechanics and Laborers shall have liens upon the property of their em ployers for labor performed, or material famished, and the Legislature shall pro vide for tbs summary enforcement of the same. *Ve do not nndersUnd that this is in tended as a repeal of the mechanics’ lien. The same lien ie given by statute whioh will remain in fores. It only Ukea it ont of the Constitution where it doos not . really belong, for If the mechanic*’ lien I should be put in tbe Constitution so ought all other liens. On the whole we think (his a good be ginning, and are encouraged to hope that the new Constitution will be a great im provement on the one of 1868. (Comm antes tad.) DANG El! IN CDWBTITtJTlON ■AKIlfi. The greatest danger in the way of a success/ul performance of the work be fore tbe Constitutional Convention now assembled in AtlanU la that of legislat ing, instead of simply enacting funda- menUl laws. We would call attention to the 28d seotion of tbe propoMd bill of righta in whioh is proposed to regulate the matter of county Uxatlon. Tne section is as follows: Tha Legislature shall not have power to delegate to any county the right to levy a tax for any purpose, exoept for educational purposes; to build and repair the public buildings and bridges; to main tain and support prisoners; to pay jnrora and *TT><*na*N» of eonrt»- to minnnrt pern, and pay debts heretofore existing. Now, a county in older to be managed sucoesafnlly must be manged with tbe same degree of care that a prudent busi ness man manages his own sffairs, and whils we approve of every purpoee men tioned in said 23d seotion, we hear tily dissent from its limiting taxation to those special purposes, and none othere. The insertion of this seotion sn endeavor, no doubt, to cover tbe ground now better oovered by section r>18 of the Code. If tha object is to lessen taxation, and God grant that it may be done, why not limit the per oent. of tax to be levied and leave It to be applied by tbe present laws, or snob laws as tbe Legislature may en- aot. Limit the oonnty lex at three mills, four mills or five mills, but don't try to prescribe the manner in whioh the ma chinery of a county is to be run in six lines. We will suppose that the power to levy thie tax is to be plaoed in tbe hands of some offloer, and that when levied and collected eome offloer of the coun ty will have to draw a warrant on the County Treasurer for auoh amounts aa may bo required for the purposes specified. Now this officer will, of oouree, be a law-abiding man, or should be, and will be sworn to npboid and obey the Gonatltution of tbe Btate of Georgia. Now wa will suppose that t lunatio is rosmiog about the country naked, and with a mania for setting fire to every thing nhd oan (such a caae haa ooourred.) Now could this lunatic be arrested, tried, and a man hired to earry her to the asy lum at MUIadgeville, if so, on what fnnd could tha ordsr be drawn under seotion 23? A mao la found in a room dead, rotten, and stinkiog in the midst of a settlement of people, too poor to bnry him, even if their charity prompted them to do so. lie mnst not lay there and breed disease and pestilence. He does not come under the olause, “to support paupers,” for he is deed and unknown and may not have been a pauper when living. The Coroner must hold ac inquest, a madioal examination must be mede and the man must ba buried, but hold' on what tnnd nan the order be drawn ? Again, tbe Court eentenoes a man to tbe chain gang, in fact many men. Will the new Constitution ao alter men'sminds that they won’t run away if left without guard*? Wo think not, the 23rd seotiou will allow them lobe fed and clothed, bat it will take a strained construction to al low Ik* hiring of half a dowen guards, if required, buying ahaoklee, tents, oarts, •craper« for roads, and a pair of mules. Won’t it? Again, suppose a oonnty should see fit to hire a man In taka charge of ita jail at a salary, and than boy ita own provisions end feed tha prisoners at a ooet cent* a day instaad of forty or fifty cents per day. is it to be met by tbe imped! men! that snob a oourse is onoonstitn ttonal 7 Grotioa, so says Blaekstone, defines equity to be “the oorreotion of that where in the law by reason of ita universality Is deficient." Tha Convention might joat aa well try to make the common law cover every possible oase and do away equity, aa wall as dueretion in ita county offioera. Fix a limit to tbe tax and the people through ita grand juries will aee that it ia not squandered. * Tmat Grover investigation pans out badly for Morton and Hipple-Mitobeil. Tbs evidsnos shown that n Federal officer hired men to make affidavits to tha affect that they saw money p*id to parties to vote for Grover. Tho job, for each it seems to bo, waa pat no to “help the Re publican party” and ruin Grover * charac ter. The testimony of tbe man Btiles has been shown to bo false by a number ©t witnesses.

Editor Enquirer : The CooveoMon is making progress, but no final action oan be bad on any sabject till tha several oommitteea have acted and mada their re ports. There are thirteen regular com mittees, besides some special ones on par ticular subjects. Two or thfM have al ready completed their labors and report* ed. The Committee on TOIL OP B1P-TB tJ baa reported to the Revisory Committee, end their report baa been prlhted. They have left on. eouaiderabl* unnecessary trash that was in the present Constitution. All matters relating to Federal relations are left where they shonld be, and are to be found in the Constitution bf the ted States. The BUI of Righta aa re ported, booms to be oonotae, plain and lily understood—nothing extravagant, radios! or nnuanal; and I aee no reason why it should not receive the endorse ment of every voter. Mr. Little of your delegation ia on that committee, and haa taken a prominent part in ita delibera tions. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT—IMPORTANT The Committee on the Exeentive De. pertinent has oompleted Ita labors and has reported to the Committee of Twenty I have just seen in print the reault of tbeir labors. Borne important ehanges have been proposed by this committee In referenoe to this department. The de partment ia to consist of the Governor, Secretary of Btate, Comptroller General, Treasurer and Attorney General. The mum to be eiveied for two yes ia, auu to be ineligible after the second term. The first eleotion under this constitution to take place in October, 1800. Judge Ingram, of your delegation, is on this committee, and I am informed that upon his suggestion, the Secretary of Btate, Comptroller General and TVeaettrer shall be elected by tbe people, and at the same time and in the same manner aa the Gov ernor. This ia a new departure, and one, I think, that will be cordially endorsed by the people of the State. Theee are important offioee, and tbs people Should have some hand in eeieoting them. We have just been informed that Mr. In* gram's proposition, for the election of these offioera by the people, inoluded, also, the Attorney General; but a major ity of the Committee reported that he should be appointed by the Governor; but Judge Ingram, with taro others who agreed with him, will appeal by minority report to the committee of twenty-wix, and finally to the Convention, and Will insist upon having all of thm filled by elections by tbe people. Bo far as I have heard any exprasaion of opinion by the delegates, this meaaofe will adopted by the Convention. THE CAPITAL QUBSTXON is the theme to-day. It haa suddenly assumed a new phase, brought about in this way: During the first days of ths Hemion of the Convention, all were aa silent as the toomb cp the matter; Mr. Ingram, of your oity, threw a ■hell into the camp, by introdndng a res olution, leaving the looation of the Capi tal to the Legislature, tuidfcr oertain re strictions, and suggesting 1 of the places. As sdon as miggested, and ventilated a little, it was feared that if the Capital should ba moved at all, it never would go to Milladgevdlo, but would stop in Macon. Thai Is ths geographical oentre as well as tha railroad centre of the State. MilledgeviUe haa never stood the ghoct of a ohanoe for U, but Maoon would become a powerful petitor with Atlanta; and If the objeot of Mr. Ingram waa to stir up Atlanta, ha succeeded most admirably. Mr in lem than three days tha city fathers of Atlanta were in oonaultation, am as follows: That Atlanta will donate tea sores of ground, in tha vicinity of tha city, or the Oity Hall lot, containing ten aoree, and erect upon either, a State House better in every reapet than the one in Jiilledgevilie. A have proposed to bm lees than $100,000. sens propose to give bond in the sum of $600,000 that the above shall ba carried out. This will virtually end tbs evarlaat- ing hubbub about tha removal of the Capital. Tha chief question has been one of expense and that la now knocked oat of the ring. As connected with the Capitol question, Judge Ingram has also before tho Com mittee a proposition to cell both the Ex ecutive Mansions, and to fix tho salary of the Governor at a definite sum, and allow him to arrange for his own mansion. And in connection with this subject It la anid that tbe annual appropriations for tha uae of the Governor average arnica than $10, 000. Many of the delegates are in favor of tbia arrangement in order to atop this great leak. BIENNIAL SBaatom AND $4 PAT.

As previously stated Presi dent Diaz has directed Gen.Trevino io uitbdrsw from the agreement with Gen. Ord in regard to co-operate movements against Mexioan cattle raiders. This action on the part of the Mexican authorities ia interpreted in Washington aa giving full force to a late order directing Trevino to resist by force of arms any attempt of tha United States troops to oroas tba Mexioan border Id pursuit of cattle thieves. Aa Gen. Ord’a instructions on this snbj.ot have not been modified, a I (filial on be tween the two forces ia considered as like ly to oocuc the first time a oattle raid is made in Texas. While there is no dispo sition to provoke a disturbance with Mexico, Mr. Hayes is fully determined to aee all the foroe at his oommaod to give ample protection to our frontier in teres ta.
