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.

nesday in October, 1878, after which elec
tions for the same shall be held on the

Mr. Hamilton then offered the follow
ing substitute for the section:

General Assembly, under this Constitu
tion, shall be held on the fir* t Wednesday
in December, 1877, the second eleotion

The substitute was finally adopted by a

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

trict, moved to insert the words “who'e
number of ” after the word “of ” in line
three, which was adopted, and the para

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

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.
