IMPEACHMENTS. —THE OATH Or MEMBERS—-LENGTH OF SESSIONS—AGE OF SENATORS—TIME OF RESIDENCE—IMPEACHMENTS. Special to the Chronicle and Constitutionalist. Atlanta, August 15.—The Constitu tional Convention met in the Capitol this morning, at half-past eight o’clock, the President, Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, in the Chair. promptly tabled. Mr. Moore, of the Forty-third District, moved to reconsider paragraph 1 of sec tion 8. He said there is no justiee in ad hering to this plan. This is the last chance the people will have for years to correot an irregularity and injustice. Should we fix it too low the people may be able to change it, but the Legislature will never consent to reduce its own mem bers. By the present system the people are not fairly represented. County or ganizations are not the only things to be subserved, blit the interests of the people of the great State of Georgia should be guarded. The motion to reconsider was promptly tabled. the first election. Mr. Hamilton, of the Forty-seoond District, moved to reconsider paragraph two of section four, which read as fol lows: Par. II. The first eleotion for members of the General Assembly under this Con stitution shall take place on the first Wed nesday in October, 1878, after which elec tions for the same shall be held on the same day, biennially until the day of eleotion is changed by law. The motion to reconsider was carried. Mr. Hamilton then offered the follow ing substitute for the section: The firs!~eleotion for members of the General Assembly, under this Constitu tion, shall be held on the fir* t Wednesday in December, 1877, the second eleotion on the first Wednesday in October, 1880, and biennially thereafter until changed by law. The substitute was finally adopted by a vote of 95 to 85. A PROTEST. A memorial from the State Agricultu* ral Society, now in session, was read, protesting against the abolition of the Agricultural Bureau. The memorial was laid on the table until the report of the Committee on Publio Institutions came up. Paragraph two was read, agreed to, un amended. Paragraph three was read as follows: Par. III. The first meeting of the Gen eral Assembly after the ratification of this Constitution shall be on the first Wednes day in November, 1878, and biennially thereafter on the same day. THE GOVERNOR MAY CALL AN EXTRA 8ES< SION. Mr. Davis, of the Tenth District, moved to append the following to the prargraph: Provided, That nothing shall be here construed to prevent the Governor calling an extra session of the General Assem bly before the first Wednesday in Novem ber, 1878, if the necessity exists there for and the publio good requires it.

THE SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE. Paragraph five was read as follows : Par. V. No session of the General As sembly shall continue longer than forty days, except by a vote of two-thirds of each House. Mr. Underwood,of the Thirty-first Dis trict, moved to make the sessions of the Legislature thirty instead of forty days. Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis triet, considered the proposition absurd, as it did not allow sufficient time to trans act the public business. Mr. Underwood’s motion was tabled Mr. Beese, of the Twenty-ninth Dish trict, moved to insert the words “who'e number of ” after the word “of ” in line three, which was adopted, and the para graph was agreed to. The next two paragraphs were read as follows, and adopted unamended : Par. VI. No person holding a military commission, or other appointment or office, having any emolument or com pensation annexed thereto, under thiH State, or the United States, or either of them, except Jnstioes of the Peace, and officers of the militia, nor any defaulter for publio money, or for any legal taxes required of him, shall have a seat in either House; nor shall ony Senator or representative, after his qualification such, be elected by the General Assembly or appointed by the Governor, either with or without the advioe and consant of the Senate, to any office or appointment having any emolument annexed therto, during the time for which he shall have been elected.

Mr. Johnson, of the Thirtieth District moved to amend so as to make the age of State Senator twenty-five instead of tbir ty years. He said the qualified age of a United 8tntes Senator was but thirty years, while that of a Congressman was but twenty-five, and he did not see the use of fixing the ago of a Georgia State Senator at so high a limit. The amend ment was adopted. THE RESIDENCE CF SENATORS. Mr. Ingram, of the Twenty-fourth Dis trict, moved to amend by making Sena** tors residents of the State for four years instead of two. This was adopted, and the paragraph, as amended, was agreed to. Paragraphs two and three were read as follows and adopted unamended: Par. II.
