Imtud of defining the persons
^rasing the militi*, as is done ia the
act constitution, the report at the
xnittee leaves it with the Unnarel
td; to declare how the militia be or*
ganized, and of whom it shall consist.
The report leaves crat the otiose pro
viding that the organization ie “subject
to the paramount authority of Congress
over this subject'’
The report does not excase persons
conscientiously opposed to bearing arms,
as doss the Constitution, bat it does pro*
vide, very properly, that no pay, returns
or emoluments shall be received when
C?t in active service by authority of the
{State.
The Committee on Elective Pram him
have made some important changes. They
change the qualification of voters from a
residence of thirty days in the oounty in
which he offers to vote to three months.
They require him to pay all legal taxes,
etc., except for the year of the election,
instead of only the taxes for the year pre
ceding the election. The oath is also
changed in the same particulars. Under
the Constitution any person who shall en
gage in a duel or shall accept a challenge,
or be aider or abettor, etc., shall not vote
or hold office in this State, whilst the
committee recommend that s person must
be convicted of these acts in order to be
disqualified.
The committee also add to the list of
those who shall not be permitted to regis
ter, vote or hold office “those who shall
have been convicted of larceny. ”
Under the Constitution electors are
privileged from arrest except for certain
crimes for “five days before an election
and two days subsequent thereto.” This
has been restricted by the committee to
“daring the attendance on elections and
in going to and returning from the same.”
The Constitution simply prohibits the
Bale of intoxicating liquors on days of
election, whilst the committee provide
that the General Assembly shall, by Iaw>
require the closing of the retail liquor es
tablishments, and forbid the sale of intox
icating drinks within two miles of elec
tion precincts on days of election.
This will of course prohibit the sale of
liquor and close all the bar rooms within
the limits of the city. These changes
are all proper and right and we suppose
Will be adopted.
Since writing the above we find from
the report of Friday’s proceedings that
the report on the militia system has been
adopted just as reported.
The election franchise was also amend
ed bo as to make the qualification of
voters a resident of one year in the State,
and three months in the county.

Alum, Saturday, July 21.
The great talk of the town ia the Capi
tol question. It had rather lolled into
second rate <. |rr fit until AHwb came
forward with an offer of a most extraor
dinary nature. Since that hee happened,
nobody talks of anyth mg but the location
of the Capital and there ie such a tremen
dous wire polling both for Atlanta sod
Mill edge ville that I don’t believe the
Convention will do anything until this
liter is settled. If it were put now to
a square, (dam vote of the Conven
tion, whether its preference were
for Atlanta or Milled geville the chances
would be about even. Bat every day de
velops some new stratagem, and there is no
telling bow the matter will stand a week
beoee. Miliedgeville has a hundred loby-
ista here, every one working like a badger
and promising all sorts of things. Atlanta
is playing the same kind of game, and
button-holes all the members of the po
tent body on every occasion. But the
boldest stroke this city has yet made is
what is called the “capital memorial. ”

A New Orleans correspondent of the

The reoent announcement by some of
the savings funds of New York, reducing
their mortgage rate of interest, is fol
lowed by a statement from the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, one of the
largest corporations there, that it is ready
to loan money on bond and mortgage,
with approved security, at 6 per cent.
These straws show the downward ten
dency of the rates of interest, for it ia
obviously impossible to get 7 per cent.,
which is the legal rate for mortgages in
New York snd New Jersey, when money
can only with difficulty be pat oat at 6
per cent, in other States, where first-class
real estate security is offered.

reading of this proposition created no
little stir, though its effect will not be
very great. Those who were in favor
of Miliedgeville are yet of the same opin

The interest on Atlanta’s debt is large,and
she finds it aheavy load to carry. Under
all these circumstances how is she to
build a fine State Capitol, and we want
no more common ones, without subject
ing her people to a most cruel taxation
against which many of them would justly
rebel. The true way to set
tle this difficulty is for the
Convention to name no place for the seat
of government. ^«et the people vote on
that question, and if a majority of them
should prefer Atlanta let the State build
a Capitol here, and a good one. Geor
gia is mnch better able to do so than is
Atlanta. The building which is to belong
to the people ehonld be built by the peo
ple's money. The Convention will, in
all likelihood, take no action on this
memorial. Every day the conviction ia
gaining ground that the only true and
just way to decide the question is by sub
mitting it to the whole people. The con
sideration of Atlanta’s proposition will
come before a committee, of -which Hon.
Miles Lewis, of Greene, a firm friend of
Miliedgeville, is the Chairman, and I be
lieve s majority of the Committee agree
with him. So, after all, Atlanta is likely to
reap no benefit from her memorial, while
in some quarters it is already construed
the printing of the Convention to the
lowest bidder. Lost.

POLICE DISPERSE THE MOB IN BALTIMORE.
Special to the Enquirer-9u*.)
Baltimore, July 21.—Long before dark
the streets in the neighborhood ot Cam
den station began to fill with people, and
the excitement increased aa the crowd
gathered. A girdle of soldiers was placed
around the depot and in front of them
were the police. Between 8 and 9 o’clock
several shots were fired at the intersec
tion of Eataw and Bane streets, and the
soldiers loaded their pieces with
ball. The officer, however, or
dered the men to withdraw the charges,
and it was done. In the meantime
erowd on Entaw street, which numbered
about 3,000 persons, cheered, fired off
pistols, and acted in a very disorderly
manner. Finding, however, that they
could not provoke the soldiers to fire,
they massed their forces at the corner of
Camden and Eataw, where a drunken
m«h made a furious speech. About this
time a railroad torpedo was fired off a
square or so below, and a general panic
ensued. The erowd returned again in a
few minutes and openly discussed the
feasibility of breaking into the Camden
station from the front.
Between 9 and 10 o clock a force of
about 150 poiioe marched up Camden
street, where the rioters were most nu
meroos, and after coming to a holt, or
ders were given to charge. The crowd
instantly started to run snd the police
followed, discharging blank cartridges
from their revolvers and completely dis
persing the crowd. Abont 50 of the
rioters retreated to Little Paca street,
where they began tearing np the pave
ment for the purpose of arming them
selves, bnt their operations were inter
rupted by the police, who scattered them
with a round of blank cartridges. This
dispersed the crowd, and those who re
mained and were at all inclined to be
disorderly were at once arrested and
corraled in the gentlemen’s waiting room
at Camden Station. The police made about
60 arrests in all, bnt none of them were
railroad men.
