United States: Provided, That neither
the numbers of districts nor the number
of Senators from each Distriot shall be
increased: And provided, That the Dis
tricts shall be of equal population, so far
as may be practicable.
Mr. Bass, of the Forty-second Distriot,
moved to amend paragraph 1 so as to al
low three Senators from eaoh of the nine
districts.
Mr. Collier,of the Thirty-fifth Distriot,
moved to amend this amendment so as to
Bllow four from eaoh District.
OEN. TOOMBS FAVOBS A LABOE SENATE.
Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis
trict, favored eight from each district,
seventy-two beiug the total. He thought
the present system of representation was
wrong. Yet gentlemen wished to con
tinuo it. The people ought to be repre
sented somehow in the Legislature, but at
present the Senators represented no one.
Fiom some two counties a third was out
off in order to form a District
and send 6ome man to the Senate and
enable some man or other in two counties
to have a chance every third eleotion. The
rotary system thus instituted was moBt
pernicious and killed any good man. An
drew J. Miller, of Riohmond, was the
only human being who ever lived through
the system and was not dropped by the
people. He thought Senators ought to be
also elected every two years instead of
four. In times like these, of great issues,
power ought to be kept close down to the
people, and four years’ loose is too long.
Senators, as well as Representatives,
ought to go before the people every two
years. He was not afraid of popular elec
tions. These things ought to be kept be
fore the people. Senators, as at present
eleoted, do not represent the people but
subserve themselves. This system is f
hereitage of woo. The basis of irregnlari
ty iu representation is also scandalous and
gross.
Mr. Gartrell, of the Thirty-fifth Dis
trict, thought the present system of elect
ing the Senate was as equal and inr
partial as possible. It had always worked
well.
Mr. Collier, of the Thirty-fifth District
thought the great curse of the land for
twenty-five years had been a super-abun
dance of legislators. He was satisfied
reduction could be had without detriment
to the public interest. For proper delib
eration and the consideration of impor-
taut subjects, smaller bodies arc better
than larger ones. Large legislative bod
ies are more unwieldy than smaller ones,
as iu the cases of the Lower House and
the Senate.
JL’rfOE BEEBE FAVOBS LABOE G0N6TITUEN-
Mr. Reese (Augustus), of the Twenty-
eighth District, considered this the most
important subject yet before the Conven
tion. He agreed with Gen. Toombs that
in the present Seuate the system of rep
resentation was neither on property, pop
ulation or territory, but on political ar
rangements and nothing else. Congress
.• and the Senate of the United States stand
4 on a different basis, one representing pop-
% ulation and the other sovereignty. The
^ idea prevailed that the same distinction
ought to obtain in the State Legislature ;
' but this is a mistaken idea. Two Houses
In the State represent precisely the same
interests and same constituency. An idea
I, prevails that the Senate is to act as tho
^conservative branoh, but this iB false.
^Iffhe two Hojines are organized so as to
trevent hasty or nnwiae action on bad
neasures of each othnr. Each one
is guard on the other. One great ob-
jeot of representation should be economy;
hence both branches of the Assembly
ought to be reduced as low as consistent
with the public interest. I do not think
largo bodies, where the responsibility is
divided, insure better laws. Would the
Senate where there is so large a field to
■elect from, and a body more seleot be
espsble of bribery ? I think not. Only
high-minded men would be sent instead
of demagogues, many of whom had been
Jwetofore sent. You would elevate the
standard as you decrease the number.
Therefore, both ou principal and economy
the membership of the Legislature should
be reduced.
Mr. Mynatt, of the Thirty-fifth Dis
trict, thought our representation should
be purely on population. As the number
of legislators increase, the deliberation
becomes less. Obviously this Bhould not
be made too small, else the opinions and
wants of the people would not be con
sulted. Therefore it should he neither
too large nor too small. He was sure,
however, that our Legislature can be
made more deliberative and less expen
sive.
THE PBESENT 8Y8TEM RETAINED.
Mr. Davis, of tho Twenty-third Dis
trict, favored tho present system. The
object of the Senate was to represent ter
ritory. Honco ho moved to table the Bass
aud Collier amendments. Carried by 111
to 33.
Mr. Hill, of the Twenty-eighth Dis
triot, opposed the present rotton borough
system. The people want the best pos
sible government which can be gotten
with the least possible expense. The
principle was to reduce members and in
crease the section to select from. This
ought to commend itself to every thinking
mind.
Mr. Harrell, of the Twelfth Distriot
thought the people had been associated
with each other under the present sys
tem for many years, and are well ac
quainted with in lheir respective districts.
Therefore it ought not to be changed.
Mr. Buohauan, of the Thirty-seoond
Distriot, considered the present system
totally defective, as under it a Senator
from the Fifteenth Distriot, though rep
resenting one-ninth of the constituency,
had an equal vote with a Senator from
the Thirty-fifth Distriot. He thought
the report of the committee ought to
stand so far as the Senate was concerned.
Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth
District, considered that the report of
oommittee made tho districts entirely too
large.
Mr. Lawton, of the First District,
thought legislators ought to represent the
people. No system resembles the Eng
lish rotten borough as ours, which gives
a population of 500 equal power with a
distriot of 5,000. Let us have a system
so seleot and perfect as to attraot ex-Gov-
ernors, Judges and Congressmen to the
Senate. Let the Senate be established
on prinoiple and not on aooidents consist
ing of establishing new counties for
framing dist lets so we may Beonre for
representatives grave and reverend sen-
iors.
Mr. Lawton then offered the following
resolution :
The Senate to consist of 44 members
from each of the 44 districts, to be com
posed of contiguous counties arranged
os near oh may be acoording to population
until otherwise provided by the General
Assembly. Tabled.
Mr. McDonald, of the Fifth Distriot v
offered the following as an amendment
to paragraph 1 section 2:
The Senate shall consist of 44 members
from 44 distriot# as now arranged by con
tiguous connties, eaoh district to have one
Senator. Adopted by a vote of 103 ayes
to G8 nays.
All the following paragraphs to section
seoond were now striokon out in accord
ance with the previous action of the Con
vention.
Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-niuth
District, moved to strike out the last pro
vino of seotiou second, but the motion
was tabled by a vote of 88 yeas to 78 nays.
Adjourned.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
CONSTITUTION OF THE HOUSE OF BEFBE
BENS ATI VES.
The Convention reassembled at four
o’clock this afternoon.
Section second of the report on the
Legislative Department, as amended this
morning, was agreed to.
Section third was then read sb follows
Par. I. The House of Representatives
shall consist of one hundred and seventy-
five Representatives, apportioned among
the several counties, as follows, to-wit:
To the six counties having the largest
population, viz—Chatham, Riohmond,
Burke, Houston, Bibb and Fulton, three
Representatives each ; to the twenty-six
counties having the next largest popula
tion, viz—Bartow, Coweta, Decatur,
Floyd, Greene, Gwinnett, Harris, Jef
ferson, Merriwether, Monroe, Muscogee,
Newton, Stewart, Sumter, Thomas,
Troup, Washington, Clarke, Carroll,
Cobb, Columbia, Dougherty, Oglethorpe,
Pulaski, Talbot aud Wilkes, two Repre
sentatives ouch; and to the remaining
ono hundred and five connties, one Rep
resentative each.
Sec. II. The above apportionment may
be changed by tho General Assembly
after each cousus by tho United States
Government but, in no event, shall tho
aggreate number of Representatives bo
increased.
A DELUGE Of AMENDMENTS.
Mr. Imgrnm, of the Twenty-fourth
District, moved to amend paragraph first
by making tho number of representatives
one hundred and sixty. The amendment
wan laid on the table.
Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth
District, moved to amend by making the
nnmber of reprsentatives one hundred.
The amendment was laid one the table.
An amendment to strike out Clarke.
Newton, Colombia and Pulaski from the
list of counties allowed two reprsenta
tives eaoh, and to insert in their plaoes
the counties of Walton, Macon, Hancock
and Jackson was adopted
Mr. Featherstone, of the Twenty-sixth
District, moved to amend by making the
number of representatives eighty-eight—
two to each Senatorial District. The
amendment was laid on tho table.
Mr. Warren, of the Twenty-third Dis
trict, moved to amend by making the
number of representatives seven y-fivo.
The amendent was laid on the table.
Mr. Warren, of the First Distriot, mov
ed to amend by making the number of
representatives one hundred and six.
Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis
triot, opposed the amendment. He said
he taonght the neoplo wanted a reduction
in the expenses of the Legislative Depart
ment of the government by reducing the
number of sessions and tho per diem and
mileage of members, but rot by a reduc
tion in representation. No county would
be willing to forfeit representation in the
General Assembly. Ho therefore moved
a call of the previous question.
Pending the putting of the motion Mr.
Warren moved to adjourn, and the mo
tion was carried amid a good deal of ex
citement and confusion.
Nome of the Southern Working:
Women of New York.
Washington Capital.]
When tho war clouds cleared away from
the Southern land one vast wreok lay ex
posed. Houses and lands, stock, furni-
tuie, all were gone, and Poverty, the grim
King, ruled the South. Then it was that
the Southern women, throwing the tradi
tions of the past behind them, arose to
the dignity of work and went forth with
resolute hearts to meet their strange new
destiny. Never wore warriors on the bat
tlefield braver thau these women who
wero now called upon to fight the groat,
hard battle of life. Undaunted by dis
tance, or the loneliness that they knew
must await them in strauge cities, they
sonttered themselves over the United
States, going wherever they thought they
could earn an honorable maintenance.
While many sought employment in Wash
ington, a number wended their footsteps
to the great city of New York, and took
up cheerfully whatever work thoir hands
found to do. Among those who are at
work in Gotham we may mention the fol-
lowiug:
Mrs. MoNiel, of South Carolina, a ven
erable and lovely lady, has established
herself in a very successful boarding
house.
Mrs. Sadlier, of South Carolina, daugh
ter of the Hou. George Buist, of Charles
ton, keeps a popular boarding house, well
patronized by her Southern friends who
summer in Now York.
Miss Florouoo de Trevillo, whose father
was tho lion. Richard de Treville, once
Lieutenant Governor of South Carolius,
also presides over a popular boarding
house. Forgetting that she was a petted
society belle in Charleston, her native
city, with a courage and energy most ad
mirable, she went heart and soul to work,
aud success crowned her efforts. Youug,
frail in form, delicate in health, for years
she fought a glorious fight—as glorious
as any hero ever fought on the tented
fields of battle—and Bhe has come off
victor.
Mrs. Edward White, the wife of Col.
White, of Charleston, S. C., presides over
au educational establishment for young
ladies. For this her accomplishments
eminently fit her, and her Murray Hill
home is the abode of refinement and oul
tare.
Madame le Grand Coulson, the genial
and accomplished wife of Dr. Rowley
Coulson, of Virginia, instructs classes in
the French language.
Mrs. Patton, the widow of Mr. James
Patton, a lawyor of Ashvilie, North Caro
lina, and daughter of tho Rev. Dr. Chap
man, is teaching in tho school of the Sis
terkood, established by tho late Rev. Dr.
Muslenbnrg.
Miss Alice rii turnons, the gifted daugh
ter of the late Dr. Hume Simmons, of
Charleston, South Carolina, and groat nice
of Washington Alston, tho oelebrated
painter, teaches in one of the public
schools of New York. This young lady
also writes for the press. Reared amid
tho refinements and what may be termed
tho exclusion of that proud oity, Charles
ton, she came to New York aud, liko the
rest of her Southorn sisters, plunged into
the thickest of the fight, making her way
with a resolution and energy which place
her iQ the foremost ranks of indomitable
women.
Among those who have entered the
training Bohool for nurses at Bellevno
Hospital wo may mention Miss Lnoe, of
Arkansas, who has recoived her diploma,
and Miss Laborde, of Soutb Carolina*
Mrs. Jordan, tho widow of a physician
of South Carolina, came to Now York to
better her fortunes. She established her
self as a dressmaker, having a peouliar
aptitude for tho work. Her suooeBs has
been most complete, and “Madam Jor
dan” is now one of the oelebrated “glasses
of fashion” in New York.
MiBs Mary Cheeseborough is a daughter
of the late Mr. John W. Cheeseborough,
a prominent shipping merohant of
Charleston, South Carolina, and sister of
Mr. John Cheeseborough, for many years
cashier of the Bonk of Charleston. As
an artist she has met with much success.
Among the Southern women who have
entered the field of literature in New
York may be mentioned Miss Sallie Brook,
of Virginia, whose name appoars in “South
land Writers.” Miss Brook was connected at
one time, perhaps still is, with one of
Frank Leslie’s publications. She has also
published two novels, and contributes
to many of the leading periodicals.
Mesdames Sallie and Emily Battoy, of
Georgia, wield most siiooessfal pens as
reporters and fashion writers.
Mrs. Sturgis, formerly Miss Upshur, of
Virginia, known in tho literary elrcles as
“Fanny Fielding,” is a forcible and pleas
ant writer. She cumo to New York
to make hor way with her pen, and fell
into the inches of matrimony. She writes
for various publications. Her article on
tho Florida Murats, contributed to tbo
Galaxy, wqr widely noticed.
Miss Carolina Adams is a daughter of
late Rev Jaspar Adams, an Episcopal clergy
man, who was at ono time President of
the Charleston, S. O., College. Full of
energy and porsevearnce, she never falter
ed in the task she bad undertaken. With
resolute will she sot to work to conquer
fate, and has succeeded. She is connected
with Demorest’s publications, and is tbo
fashion correspondent of several loading
newspapers.
Miss E. B. Cheesborough is a young
sis'er of the artist of tho Hamo name, and
is a native of Charleston, S. C. Her name
appears iu Buchanan Road’s “Female
Poets of America,” “Women of the South
Distinguished in Literature,” published
by Derby A Jackson, of Now York, and in
“Southland Writers.” For many years
after the war she edited the Darlington,
(8. G.,) Southerner. She is now the
proof-reader in tho office of the Family
Journal and Pulpit of tho Day, New York
oity, and contributes to those and other
publications.
Those, then, are a few of some of the
“lazy Southern women” of whom we have
often heard. Are they lazy? Let their
works speak for them. Theirs is a record
of which they neod not be ashamed.
Born, as most of them were, to luxury,
when tho God of Battles decided against
them they did not sit down and fold their
hands in useless repinings; but starting
out, they filled the workshops of America,
and to-day stand side by side with their
Northern sisters, not ashamed to bo claw
ed among tho working-women of the
land.
