the convention and pchi.ic
Mi'll OOIjM.
One of Georgia's most honored citizens,
who is a member of tho Constitutional
Convention was asked his opinion as to
tbo New Constitution. lie replied, “I
fear the Convention will offer a Constitu
tion that I cannot vote for, myself.” We
have carefully read the proceedings of
tbo Convention and we feel satisfied that
they will offer a Constitution that few,
who have the intoros. of tho State at heart
osn vote to adept, in the last few days
they have retri.gs.jed fearfully. There
appears to be a legislating programme
adopted by onr Constitution makers. In
stead of giving tbo peoplo fundamental
laws, they want to “fix" ovorything oven
to the smallost details, leaving nothing
for the cbnngos that are likely to occur in
any government. The fixing of salaries
is a legislative duty. What may be
a good salary this year, may be a poor
ono ten years henoe.
Now everything is, ss railroad men
would say, down to “bard pan.” Nearly
every speoies of property and every class
of labor has depreciated to an oxcecding
low point. A honse that ten yoars ago
ooBt $10,000 to build osn be bought, in
many ibstsnoes, at ono-thlrd the amount.
Book-keepers and salesmen who, a few
years ago, readily oommandod $2,000 per
annum, are now seeking situations at
$700. Mechanics who formerly were
sought aftor at $2.60 to $6.00 per day,
sro now forced by the stringency of the
times to work on half time at $1 to $2
per dsy. The same slate of affairs is ap
plicable to Governors,Judges, Treasurers,
and other State offioers. If flush
times were to corns upon us,those offioers,
being forbiddon by the Constitution to
roooive more pay, would have to abandon
their positions or go to stealing to snp-
port themselves.
The Publio School question has given
onr Conslitutionsl Legislator some
trouble, aud thus far they have agroed to
prohibit the peoplo of Georgia from
giving an education to their children.
The "Conventionists” say that two-thirds
of tbo qualified voters of a oounty rnnst
voto in favor of a tax for sohool purposes
before such a tax oan bo levied. Now it is
well known that nothing hut a general
olootion, with some important issue at
stako can seonre a poll of two-thirds of
the qualified voters. This is nothing but
a trick of the enemies of public education
to kill the system, and they want it in the
Constitution so as to prevent the people,
when good times come, adopting a sys
tem of instraotion suitable to their wants
and ability.
The olsp.trsp argument that the State
has no right to authorize a tax to be lovied
against one man to ednoate another man's
children, is freoly used liy our Constitu
tional Legislators. Why not say that the
State has no right to authorize a tax to
build jails, poor bouses, assylums, and a
thousand other things, from which a ma
jority of the peoplo reciovo no benefit.
We would say to these Constitutional
Legislators that the people want a Con
dilution, and are tired of their legisla
ting. If they don't know how to make a
Constitution, let them take the Constitu
tion of Kentucky, Tennessee, or even our
sister State, Alabama, either of which are
better than the bastard that is now being
engineered by a aetof Georgia politicians.
Wo hope “the thing,” if not materially
changed from its present shape in many
respoots, will be overwhelmingly con
demned by the peoplo and our Constitu
tional Legislators sent to their homes to
remain, or provided with emigration tiok
ots to other climes more congenial to
tboir legislative proetlvitioB.

In tho last Legislature of Kcutucky tho
Itepnhlioanir had six mombors of the Son
ate and cloven of tho House. lu the Leg
islature eleeted last Monday they will have

Cincinnati Gazette: About flour.
Wheat is selling at $1.26 por bushel.
Four and a half bushels makes a barrel
of first class flour. The offal pays for
the cooperage and the oost of manufac
ture. The wholesale prioe of first class
flour, therefore, should he $5.02$. The
retail price Bhould be about $0.60 deliv
ered. If wheat should be quoted at le-■
thau $1 26, flour uught to be lower in
proportion. As for extra »ml patent flour,
thst is all humbug. Coutrivauoes that
take the life out of flour are all in the
interest of dyspepsia aud the dootors, and
ahould bo suppressed. Auybody who
asks over $0.50 a barrel for the best fam
ily Hour, delivered in the city should not
be patronized.
Blonnt Nprlnir- Convention.
A correspondent, “Alabama,” suggests
tho propriety of changing the time of the
Blonnt Springs Convention to nn oarlier
day. Thu 4th of September has been
agreed upon after consultation with
number of gentlemen in different parts
of the State, and it would be impraotica-
bio to change tho day now, without pro.
duoing confusion, and Inconvenience to
soveral parties who have oonsonled to
tako part in tho programme. Moreover,
arrangomeuts have been made with the
proprietors of the Springs for tbe enter
tainment of the Convention at tho time
•elected, and a change iu the time of
meeting might disarrange their plans.
Tho correspondent apprehends that
tlie attendance upon the Blonnt Springs
Convention may be affeoted by its coin
cidence with the meeting of tho Amerioan
Scientific Association at Nashville. I
think the Scientific Association meets on
the 2<ith of tbiR month, and its session
will probably close shnnt tbe time the
convention meets at Blount Springs,
have understood, also, that tbo Scientiflo
Association will ho itivilod to msks nn ox
enrsion on tho South Ik North Alabama
ltailroad, and it is probable that this
excursion will be so timed ss to enable
those of its members who may desire to
do so, to nltond the Blount Springs Con
vention.
At nny rnte, it is now too late to make
a change in the time for holding (he con
vention at Blonnt. Springs, nnd it will,
therefore, ho held at tho time appointed
Tuesday, tho 4th of Heptomber.

Among the ears whioh were destroyed
by the fire of Saturday right and Srniay,
during the prevslonna of the riot, were
teu or twelve which contained freight
sbippod Iry the Pennsylvania Lead Com
pany, of ManRtlold. It was generally
supposed that all of these cars ooutained
pigs of lead, and amid the surfeit of
oilier more valuable and more
easily transported goods, no one
thought of lot ding himself with
heavy metal On Tuesday after the fire,
it was discovered that three of
tbo oars contained pure silver,
which had been smelted at the Mans
field establishment, and whioh was on
its way to the Philadelphia mint. The
silver was iu (he fouu of pigs, a little
smaller than tbo pigs of lead, and, like
tbe lead, it was melted and run down be
tween the ties and the gutters. Of oourse
there was uo effort on the part of the oom-
pany to dissipate the impression that the
oars contained nothing but lead. As the
metals looked muoh alike, there was no
attempts to steal any of the more precious
aubetauoe. On Tuesday, the proprietors
visited the ruins and removed tbe metal.
Tbe value of the silver that was in the
cars is not definitely known, but the
amount was several thousand dollara.

from change of weather or of ollmato, wan* of
exercise, Irregular diet, or from any other
oause, tbe Vegetlne will renew the blood, car
