AClamta, August U.—The Oonrention
met in the Capitol this morning, the
President, Hon. Oharlaa J. Jenkins, in
the Chair.
The educational report was resumed.
Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth
Uetxiet, mored to-reeonaidar the adop
tion of Hr. Howaii’a amendment (os sec
tion two. He thought the offioe of State
Bobool Commissioner ought to be retain
ed. Everything nooda a head. If you
want to kill the system speak out like men
and do it,but do not thus maim the sohOol
system after appropriating, already, mnoh
money to it.
HAHAOtxa emoxa waxtxd.
, Mr. Hesse, of the Twenty-ninth Dia-
triOl, thought as they had put heads to
every department of the State, and to
every publio and’ private enterprise, so
they ought toll a managing offloer for
the State sbhool system. We should not
leave the jpptter .us yesterday’s amend
ment does, to the whims and eaprloes of
the General Assembly to put any one or
no one at the head. Now that the system
la beginning to work well we should not
tear down the mode or management The
instability of onr people is likely to prove
the curse of the land.
Hr. Hammond, of the Thirty- fifth Dis
trict, also thought the system ought to
be fixed and the oflloera named and duties
defined.
Mr. Little, of the Twenty-fourth Dis
trict, oalled attention to the faot that the
amendment adopted yesterday did not
dispense with the present management or
the present able and effloient offioer. The
entire school system of Georgia is ah ex
periment and the Convention should not
irrevocably fix its management. He op
posed reconsideration, for in some boun
ties the school system did not give satis
faction.
Mr. Furman, of the Twentieth District,
hoped the matter would be reconsidered
ana that the valuable offioe of State
Bobool Commissioner would be restored
to the State.
HXCONBIDKBATXOH FBXVAIUI.
The motion to reoonsider prevailed and
Mr. Howell’s substitute was rejected.
Mr, Davis,of the Twenty-third Distriot,
offered an amendment striking out the
words "competent eelary’’ inthe original
seellon and inserting "salary not exceed
ing f2,000” in lieu thereof, wbloh was
oarried and the original aeotion was
agraed to.
Hr. Augustus Beesc, of the Twenty-
eighth Distriot, moved to reoonsider sea
tlon 4. He thought this thing of dele
gating snoh powers of taxation to mu
nicipal ourporations dangerous.
Mr. Dawson, of the Twenty-eighth Dis
triot, thought that as the ttate fund was
insufficient, counties and municipalities
should be allowed to sustain the sohools
by taxation. He bad yat to bear of an
-instanoe where .the people had overtaxed
themselves for education. Beoooaidera-
tion prevailed.
Mr. Matthews, of the Thirtieth Distriot,
moved to amend the aeotion by inserting
in line three, after the-word "vote of the
qualified voters,” and in line four, after
the word "corporation,” the words, "and
supported by two-thirds of said qualified
voters.” Adopted.
wao should votb f
Hr. DuBose, of the Twentieth Distriot,
thought these matters should only be
voted upon by the tax payers or property
owners In each county, and moved to so
amend the section. The motion was ta
bled.
Hr. Augustus Beasa, of the Twenty-
fifth District, moved to amend section
four, by adding after the word “oounties,’
in line one, the words, “upon the reoom
mendation of two grand juries,” and add
ing after the words "municipal corpora
tions,” the words, "upon recommendation
of the corporate authorities." Adopted.
Hr. Simmons, of the Twenty-seoond
Distriot, moved to strike out the section
Hr. Johnson, of the Thirtieth District,
aeoonded the motion. He thought the
whole thing superrogatory as amended.
. The motion to strike out was tabled,
and the section, as attended, adopted.
At LAUD SOBIPT quxanox.
Mr. Wellborn, of the Fortieth Distriot,
eontinued the discussion upon section six,
- opposing Mr. Boyd’s amendment to donate
one-third of the University land script to
theDsblonega College. Though a trustee
of that ooliege, he believed this aotion in
bad fsitb, as the trustees had agreed to
aooept two thousand dollars from the
University. If the North Georgia Agri-
onltural Ooliege had taken any subsequent
action he did not know it. He believed
Hr. Boyd was aotiug on his own respon
sibility in introducing the resolution.
MB. BOYD BUIS TO BXFLAIN.
Mr. Boyd here arose to a personal expla
nation, contending that, though author
ised by no formal action of the Dablonega
Ooliege Trustees, still they were with him
in spirit, and he waa bat conforming to
their wishes.
MB. WOFTOBD is tablxd.
Mr. Wofford’s resolution, that the in
terest arising from the $240,000 in land
soript be equally appropriated to Dahlon
ega, Middle and Southwest Georgia, was
lost, but was a fine buncombe buokeye
withal.
Mr. Boyd's amendment appropriating
ona-IUrd of the annual interest to the
Ndrth Georgia Ooliege was also defeated,
and aeotion six, unamended, was adopted.
THX XDUOATIOH BXFOBT ADOPTED.
The report of the Education Committee
was agreed to as a whole.
Mr. Tift, of the Tenth Distriot, offered
two additional sections as long as the hun
dred and nineteenth Psalm, whiob, with
the assistance of Mr Holoombe, were
consigned to the table, where many of
their oomrades lie.
THI TAXATlok EXPO XT AOA1H.
The taxation report was here reverted
to, and line 3, in paragraph 1st,so obanged
as to read : "Taxation may bs levied and
ooUactad for the support of the State
Government and public institutions.”
Ibis was done so as to inolnde the Lune
lle Asylum and the like. The Finance
Committee's taxation report waa now
dosed up.
APPOBTIOHDIO THI LXOISLATUBI.
The Legislative Department was taken
up, and section 1st agreed to.
Hr. Bass, of the Forty-eeoond Distriot,
offered an amendment to the eeooud sec
tion, first paragraph, allowing only
three Senators from caoh of tba nine
Congressional DiaMota.
Hr. MeDoaald, of the Fifth Distriot,
moved to amend s6 at to preserve the
Hen ate as now, but allow tbs House of
. Bepreaentatives only a hundred members,
this to be done by. giving eaehSenato-
rial District ftao Bepreaentatives and al
lowing tha twelve largest counties three

TOOMBS OK CONVENTIONS,
HE IS OPPOSED TO NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
In his speech in the Constitutional Con
vention on Friday last Gen. Toombs gave
expression to tbe following views:
“Why? You talk about representing
tbe people; letting the people do this,
that and tbe other, and yet you bold your
State Conventions snd nominate your
Governor with a parcel of delegates who
may not represent the expressed will of
twenty people in the oonuties. It is a
scheme to defraud tbe ''people. How to
get around the people is the ruling prin
ciple in all snoh organizations, and they
put thta scheme iu operation all over the
State. They get up their oouoty meetings
in the eonrt bouses and get their friends
to go and send delegates up here.
How do I know who they are going
to nominate, and how am I to be
bound by what they do? Look
at this, gentlemen who are for having this
thing done. They are prepariag to de
fraud tbe people. You nominate these
men while the people are at home at
work, and if a man says be won’t be
boand by it, and that he is going to vote
for somebody else, that be is going to
vote for sn independent, you bring all
the power of the party and tbe press, and
you bound him until you virtually disfran
ohise him and ostracise him in the oora-
mnnity. I have been to none of them
for a good while. I have had nothing to
do with them heoauae I did not think
them proper engines to express the will

TING THE OrriOE OF SOHOOL COMMISSION-
HAS V£OM IBS CONSTITUTION.
I rise, Mr. President, in response to n
remark of the gentleman from Milton,
Mr. Holoomb, as one who voted for the
snbstitnte sought to be reconsidered, sod
’ eannot be considered unless gentlemen
misrepresent me as being opposed to s
system of common sohools; nor, Indeed,
of uncommon sohools. I yield to no man
In the desire to see the people of this
country, white and blsok, eduosted, snd I
take no issue with gentlemen on this
floor, who insist honestly end ainoerely
that a Bystem of pnblio education as to
matter ot detail, shall be settled. It is
comparatively a new thing in tMa State,
snd we know that the workiuge of the
system as at present organised, ore not
satisfactory to tbe people in every part of
the State, snd I desire, if it be possible,
that there may be improvements
made. How shall we sooomplish
this object? Certainly, by not
raising objeotions to the gentleman who
has vary scoeptably filled the offioe of
State Sohool Commissioner, But we
sho.nld not, in my judgment, prescribe
the constitutional offioe ol' State Sohool
Commissioner. And why? Because in
this matter of pnblio edoostion, in taking
the pnblio money and applying it to the
ednoation of the cMldren of the State, it
may not be neoesaary to hava a State
Sohool Commissioner. What is neoesaa
ry? I frankly oonfeaa that I am not able
tossy. Oertaiuly we have gone to a suf
ficient length in this article not to be
misunderstood. We say that there shall
be a system of pnblio sohools; not that
the Legislature may provide snob 8 sys
tem; not that it shall depind npon contin
gencies, but that there Bhall be auoh s
system; furthermore I would not leave it
to the Legislature to say what funds shall
be appropriated to maintain the system.
We provide iu this organio law that tho
fund Bbatl be raised and we
designate how, and I submit
that when persona from
abroad, outside the limits of the State,
call upon the gentleman from Fulton, to
know what onr. State is doing for the
cause of ednoation, it would be k full
reply to the question, to say, that we pro
vide s system of publio ednoation and s
fund to support it, more than that, we
tell tbe Legislature that it must inaugu
rate the best system to do the greatest
amount of good to the people! I deny
that all of us who voted for this substi
tute, on yesterday, are against a system
of pnblio sohools, and I would prefer be
fore the system should be done away
with, to vote for a Ststo Sohool Commis
sioner, and one,two or more oonnty Com
missioners, if necessary. Let os have the
system although we may have to take an
offioer whom some of us do not consider
neoesaary. I do not understand that by
adopting this substitute we dispense with
the servioes of the able and effloient offl
oer now at the heed of the department.
Our statutes provide the present system
and fix the present head, End ha remains,
until it is deoided by the Legislature, not
to have a Btate Sohool Commissioner.
But do not let us prevent the Legislature
from determining whether it is best that
other oflloerB be appointed to carry out the
details, and if so, that they shall be ap
pointed. Let them be permitted to take
this matter, consider it oarefully and hon
estly, having done so, if they believe it
is best to oontiuue as at present, they oan
do so. Bnt suppose that they should
come to the oonoluaiou that they oan ex
pend this money to much better advantage
under a different plan, then I say let us
leave it bo that they oan dispose of it in
that way. -Who ia opposed to the gentle
man who has bean at the head, of this in
stitntion ? I oan only aay, I am not. Who
is opposed to the system of publio sohools?
I oan not answer further than to say I am
not; but I do propose to leave tbe system
as we have organized it, and let the Leg
islature fix the details.
The gentleman from Wilkes, says that
we have not done this way with the Gov
ernor and Judges of the Supreme Court,
but I contend that these are not parallel
oases. Experience has demonstrated that
in their departments they are necessary,
but it has not been so deoided in thlB. It
is yet an experiment. I attaoh no blame
to the present head of the department for
tbe faot, but I do say that in some coun
ties of the Btate, there is dissatisfaction
with tbe workings of the system. I am
inolined to believe that it is not due io
him that it is so, but to the
operation of the system in those
oounties. Let the Legislature if it find
that it can establish a board In eaoh
oonnty, to take charge of tbe fundB, and
who oan distribute it to the greater ad
vantage of ths people and to the oause of
edoostion, make that disposition of tbe
matter. To me this is not merely a
question ef economy, whoever may be
obosen as to the bead, if one be chosen,
let him have a liberal salary, for in this
field of all others it ocours to me, that the
laborer is worthy of hla hire. The dnties
are onerous, and if we continue him be
Bhould have competent pay for his ser
vices. This by no means is the oause of
opposition to a State Sohool Commis
sioner, but is in a wCrd, beoause the Bys
tem is yet an experiment with the people
of Georgia. In framing a Constitution
we'eannot afford to experiment, we should
frame no system and place it in the oon
stitution, while it is still an experiment.
I sincerely favor the law that providea for
the maintenance of schools, and I hope
the day will oome and come soon when
educational advantages will be extended
to every child and every adult in the State
of Georgia. I would not interpose one
word or one obstaole to such a Constitu
tion, but I think that the substitute aB it
stands, is best for onr system of educa
tion. For these reasons I voted for it,
not for opposition to a system, nor to tbe
Commissioner, nor upon tbe simple
ground of eoonomy.

put bis hand in his side pocket and drew

Waseington, August ’10. — For the first
time sinao Ospt. Eads began hia work at
the month of the Mississippi river a re
port has been made by the army engineer
in charge, which substantially admits tbe
Buooess of the jetty system. Uapt. Brown,
of the United Stales Engineers, tbe offloor
in charge, has just forwarded a full report
to the Secretary of War on the present
condition of the jetties. He states that
more work baa been done there during tbe
past four monthi than during any pre
vious four months sinoe the commenoe
ment of tbe improvement.
He states that over one million six
hundred thousand onblo feet of mattress
work has been pnt in position on the jet
ties snd at tbe need of tbe pass, sod shunt
s<xty thousand oubio yards of stone; that
tbe settlement previously observed at the
end of the east jetty has stopped, and that
no further observable settlement has oc
curred sinoe last Maroh. During the past
four mouths one million five honored
thousand onbie yards of deposit have been
aeonred ont from between the jetties and
oarried ont to sea. Abont a quarter of s
million onbtc feet of deposit have been
removed from the shoal at the head of the
pass, and the only obataole to the passage
of a ship drawing 22 feot of water is near
tbe end of the jetties and ia only 145 feet
in length. There is a dear ohannel of
20 feet and six-tenths through the whole
improvement.
Captain Brown thinks that there ia ev
ery probability that Captain Esds will be
entitled to Ms next payment of halt a mil
lion dollars at an early day.
He alluded to the Gulf surveys which
have been made out a mile beyond the
end of the jetties, to ascertain the altera
tions In the Gulf bottom made by the
jetty currents, and ends by a comparison
with previous snrveys, that there has been
a alight average deepening. The twenty
foot and thirty foot otirres have also re
ceded. These two faots are regarded as
dearly proving that there has been no re
formation of the bar io advance ot the
i etties. The extreme ends of the jetties,
e says, are permanently established and
not likely to be damaged by severe storms.
The report oontains a large amount of
valuable scientific and explanatoiy statis
tical matter. Its tons is highly enoonrag-
ing to Captain Eads, who is confident that
he will obtain his next payment from the
Government in ninety days nr sooner.

A Ooiumbia (South Carolina) corres
pondent of the New York Sun, writing
at length of tbe proceedings before tbe
State committee of inveetigation, says of
tbe testimony given before the oom
mittee :
Tbe revelations show that tbe State
Treaeurers have received thejbnlk of tbe
stolen income of the Btate wince recon
struction. There wbh nothing whiob
peesod the Treasury mill which did not
pay from 10 to 25 per oeut. toll. Tbe
more rascally tbe job the more to pay.
As a specimen of these disclosures, one
man deolared that he had a claim of
|il 16,000, out of whiob, after paying all
his tolln, be only netted $40,000, and then
waa well paid. Tbe scope of tbia investi
gation baa now taken in all tbe Gover
nors, Lieutenant Governors, Btate officers,
tbe old Bupreme Court Judges, several
members of tbe Cirouit bench, tbe officers
of tbe Legislature, and many bankers,
wealtbly merchants, brokers, editors and
lawyers.
Most of these revelations have been
obtained through tbe testimony of ex-
Governor Mosee, who has opened bis
astounding budget without sparing friend
or foe. Already tbe cry has gone up from
the stricken game. “Who would beleive
