THE INDEPENDENT DODGE.
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.
The Convention will ba almost unani
mous for biennial suasions, and tha pay
of members will be limited to kbout $4

in such s critical condition as to oauae
very grave apprehension that war may ba

action upon the party of tba Mexioan
authorities. 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
