Special to tlM OhioBlato and Oooetltutional- lit] inuni, July 80.—The OoMtitatlon.nl Convention met thin morning, et half- Mat eight o’clock, in the Capitol, the Prealdent, Hon. Gharlee J. Jankioe, in the Chair. OBAXOIXO OOUKTT UM. After the reading of the journal of Batarday’e prooeedinga, Hr. Donaldson, of the Eight Diatriot, moved to reeon- aidersection three of the reporter the Committee on Conntiee and County Offl- eere, in relation to dunging oonnty lines. He said he saw no reaeon any the people should not be allowed to ohange the lines of their oonnties if they wished to. Coun ty sites and oonnty organisations were left to the control of two-thirds of the a nelifled electors of the oonnty; why loold hot the fixing of oonnty lines be anbjeet to the same disposition t He did not believe in overriding the will of the Mobley, of the Twenty-ilfth Dis trict, said the object of the committee in reporting the danse was to prevent local legislation, which had reoently grown into snob a great evil. He thought, however, that the Genenl Assembly would have the right to pass a general law enabling counties to ohange their own lines without referring to the Legislature in particular instances. The motion to reconsider was lost. SAX COLLECTORS AMD BXOXIVIBS. Hr. Warren (Eli), of the Twenty-third Diatrid, moved to reconsider so mnoh of the report of the Committee on ConntieB and Oonnty Offloers providing for the election of Tax Collectors and Beoeivera of Tax Heturns, for the purpose of offer ing au amendment, that these oflioials be appointed by the Obunty Boards of Hoads and Bevenue. The motion to reoonaider was lost. rise, runs amd oorrs. Hr. Hynatt, of the Thirty-fifth Dis trict, moved to reoonaider the notion of the Convention Saturday, adopting Ur. Tift’s amendment in relation to the com pensation of county offloers, wbioh was os follows: “The General Assembly shall provide competent and uniform fees, commis sions and costs for ail oonnty offloers, and they shell receive no other compensation for their services. Eaoh oonnty offioer Shall keep a record of fees, commissions and costs reoeived, to be submitted to the examination of the grand jury at eaoh regular term, and shall pay into the oonnty treasury, at the end of eaoh year, all suoib collected for fees, commissions and costs, over and above the sum of $2,000." Ur. Mynatt said this amendment did great injustice to the offloers of oonnties in which large oities were situated. In Fnlton oonnty the Superior Court was in session for seven months during the year, and the Clerk of the Court and the depu ties whom he had to' employ oannot be supported on two thousand dollars per annum. The same foots applied to the sheriff. The pay was totally inadequate to the service performed, and good and faithful offloers oBnnot be obtained at suab figures. These offloers should have a pecu niary interest in the collection of fines, executions, eto. It the fees and costs are taken away, who will be interested in making snoh collections? The offloers Mrtainly will not be. How was the oonnty interested in scouring the oosts due upon an execution as a matter of revenue ? Hr. Tift, of the Tenth Distriot, said if two thousand dollars per annum was not snffloient compensation let the amount be made larger, but do not let the county be deprived of the large perqusites and fees pocketed by officeholders annually. Furthermore, he said,an offioer was sworn to dc his duty, and being under the oon- trol of the Court is bound to oolleot exe cutions whether he gets oosts for doing so or not. The most proper thing now to do was to out off expenses of every kind and diminish extravagance. He did not wish to allow inadequate compensation for work done, but neither did ne wish to im poverish the people in order to enrich offloe holders. WOBDS or WISDOM. Hr. Lawton, of tbs First Distriot, said he was uneasy the whole time the Conven tion was disouBsing matters beyond the ■cope of constitutional law, and bs knew of none bo glaring as the prejsnt. This whole discussion is now condnoted in open violation of the existing law. In 18TC the General Assembly passed a lew prescribing the rate of compensation for the Tax Collector and Beeeiver of Tax re turns in Chatham county. The rate es tabliahed was three per eent., wbioh wonld yield these officers three thousand ddUars. The law went into effeot this year. The Collector employs two olerks to assist him. In consideration of this fact, of the large bond whiob has to be given, and of the services actually render ed, the compensation is reasonable The theory of a uniform rate of compensation, though very plausible on its face, is very nnjust in fact. A rate of compensation for Collector and iteoeiver moderate in a small county wonld be entirely too high in large oonnties. The same rule applied to the Sheriffs. The fees obtained in perfecting servioe and issuing servioe arc solely those of his offloe. Upon what principle, then,does the State appropriate 'to her revenue the property of an unfor tunate debtor ? From the way in whiob the Convention was proceeding it seemed to be assuming that nothing right bad been done for the past forty yean, and that nothing right would be done daring the next deoade. If the Convention would only confine itself to organising the difforent departments of government, putting checks upon the Legislative and Executive power, and enabling the peo ple to oontrol their own affairs, it wonld do all that any Constitutional Convention eonld rightly or legitimately assume to do, bat if it attempted to pauder to every passion and prejudice and spend its time In diaonssing expenses of the people in stead of rising up and calling the mem bars blessed, wonld blame them for ex seeding their power. USOONSIDIBATION OABBIED. Hr. Fontaine, of the Twenty-fourth Diatriot, thought Hr. Tift’s amendment wonld save the State muoh money. He was not willing to leave this matter to the Legislators. The Legislature had always failed to take proper notion. Hr. Hamilton, of the Forty-second Dis trict, favored reconsideration, and said be hoped some of these matters of detail would be left to the Legislature. The motion to reconsider prevailed. a vxav vrouaxT supposition. Hr. Tift, of the Tenth Distriot, urged the adoption of his amendment. He said that several counties of the State were under the oontrol of ignorant men. Sup pose in such a county an ignorant and wicked man should bs elected tax collec tor. He would have the oonnty complete ly at bis mercy. The amendment was finally, on motion of Hr. ttmmons, of the Twenty aaoood piatrict, indefinitely postponed. Hr. Davis, of the Tenth District,: of- fared an amendment abolishing the offloe of Tax Beoeiver and devolving Its duties upon the Clerk of the Superior Oourt, who snail reoeive snoh fees as the Commis sioners of Bonds and Bevenue might Mlow. The amendment was laid on the libit, Hr. Wallaoe, of the Twenty-third Dis trict, offered an amendment inserting after the word “year" in section six, line four, the words “and a qualified voter.” Adopted. Hr. Bpenoer, of the Fifth District, moved to strike out the entire danse following Mr. Wallace’s amendment. Adopted. Section six, as amended, was agreed to. oounty oomnasioMKxs. Hr. Collier, of the Thirty-fifth District, offered as a substitute for the section a section establishing in each oounty of the State offloers to be known as Commission ers who shall be elected by the people biennially, and who shall constitute a Board of Finanoe, controlling the flnanoaa of the county, fixing the compensation of oounty offloers, and having the manage ment of county affairs generally. Hr. Collier said he did not agree with those gentlemen in the Convention who meet every one undertaking to establish finan cial restrictions and fixing proper limits to the expenditure of money with the de claration, “You are attempting legisla tion.” This was only dodging. the ques tion, and did not meet the approval of bis judgment. It was our du)y to an nounce fundamental principles of govern ment, but it was also our dnty to fix i limit to the expenditure and extravagance of government. This the Legislature never had done, and consequently baa never met the demands of the people. Their voioes still oome from every hill-top and valley in the State, demanding a duotion in tbe expenses of government, and he, for one, was willing to take his share of the responsibility of making snoh reduction. Fulton oounty, for instanoe, >aya one hundred and five thousand dol ors State and county tax, aud the Tax Beoeiver and Collector get nearly nine thousand dollars eaoh out of this amount. He wished this Board of Finanoe, wbioh be proposed, to aot as a bulwark and breakwater between tbe tax payers and the officeholders. The people of Georgia are always willing to pay a competent salary to their officials, but they do not relish much taxation. The officer who does not find it his dnty to oolleot taxes without a commission will only hold hia offloe for two years, and in that time may subject himself to serious penalties. Mr. Little, of the Twenty-fourth Dis triot, said '.that many -of the counties of the State did not wish this Board of Fi nanoe, as they were getting along very well without it. In some counties, too, men might be elected who would fix the salaries of oounty offloers at very large amounts. Mr. Collier's substitute was finally laid on tbe table. Seotion soven was agreed to without amendment. The previous question was ealled on the report and the report on Counties and County Uffloera was agreed to as amended, as a whole. On motion of Mr. Beese (W. M.), of the Twenty-ninth Distriot, the sessions were extended from half-past one to two ’olook. The following report of the Committee of Final Bevision on the Judioiaiy will be taken up to-morrow. Section I.—Par. I.
