This will be about October 1st. The

He came from Africa and landed in

Independence. He still has all of his
teeth in a perfect state of preservation,
hut has lost two from the same point, and
Dow the third tooth has grown in that

ABOUT THE PASSING OF
COUNTERFEIT BILL.
THE
THE W 7 RONG MAN ACCUSED.
As was stated yesterday in our columns
John Deeze was arrested at the instance
of Mr. Schubinsky, the aggrieved party,
on the charge of passing a twenty dollar
counterfeit bill, and w 7 as tried before
Judge Williams and required to give a
$150 bond to appear at the next term of
the Superior Court.
Yesterday morning B. F. Ketchnm,
after reading an account of the trial on
the day before, immedately fled across
the river. His conduct was being watched,
and it was then thought that he was the
man who passed the bill, which
fact he (Ketchum) did confess
after returning from Alabama and giving
himself np to Bailiff Pryor. The identi
cal articles, that were purchased of Mr.
Schubinsky by the one who passed the
countefeit, were shown to have been ob
tained by Ketchum. The latter confessed
after giving himself to the officer, that he
gave the bill to one of the Italian band,
July 23d, to have it changed, and that the
Italian returned it to him and informed
him that it was counterfeit. A five hun
dred dollar bond was required of Ketchum
to appear Monday before L. T. Downing,
United States Register, and we learn that
he did not succeed in giving security.
Grigsby Thomas, Jr., is on Deeze’s bond
with the latter's wife, and he (Deeze) will
bo released Monday after the trial of
Ketchum. Ketchum states that he can
prove where he got the bill, and stated
that he did not believe that it was coun
terfeit when he passed it.
MUTUAL LOAN AND BUILDING
ASSOCIATION.
We beg to call attention to the adver
tisement of W. II. Williams, Treasurer of
the Mutual Loan and Building Associa
tion, calling in the Bocond installment on
Tuesday 21st inst. This association is
now a fixed fact, numbering over eleven
hundred shares. The directors are anx
ious to'increase the gnumber of shares to
at least fifteen hundred, if not more.
Each additional shareholder decreases the
ratio of expense for shares and
increases the profit to the asso
ciation and thereby each individual
member is benefitted. As an investment
it offers good returns with the best secur
ity, and to those desirous of obtaining
homes, it is the very best method yet ad
vanced. As stated in these columns of
18th of August, there are over 450 co-op
erative and building loan associations in
Philadelphia, in which working men have
nearly $70;000,000 invested. Mr. Wil
liams will furnish copies of the constitu
tion showing the working of the Associa-
tian to all who will apply at John Black-
mar, E-q’s office in Georgia Home build*
mg. Go up Tuesday and subscribe.
The New Clothing Manufactory.
A brief visit to this establishment,
made a few days since, where the writer
found so good an organization of labor,
order, Ac., as to prompt the penning of
this article in the way of commendation.
Some 200 suits of the ready-made were
to be seen on the shelves and counter,
mannfactured of the best material, fin
ished in good style, and at prices that
cannot fail to attract attention of the
public. The principal material used in
this Dew industry is largely mannfactured
by the Eagle & Phenix Company, and
known as their superior 9-oz. jeans, em
bracing Georgia jeans, standard doe-skin
and extra dos-skin jeans, a good substan-
tail article that will be serviceable and
economical for the consumer.
With a force of twenty-five hands and
four sewing machines about twelve suits
per day are being turned out with a pros
pect of an increased production as the
season advances; at this early stage of the
business orders have been received be
yond the expectations of the proprietor;
to fill present orders the stock on hand
will be nearly exhausted. Mr. Peacock,
the proprietor having called to his assis
tance in this enterprise Mr. Joe Daniel,
so long and favorably known in the
clothing business of former years, may
be considered a guarantee of good work,
finish, Ac.
The production of this apparent small
enterprise amounts to about one hun
dred dollars per day, or thirty thousand
dollars per annum, a very pretty sum to
add to the productive capacity of Colum
bus. Yisitok.

Remember that we will offer for a short
while our entire stock of Spring and

WESTERN RAILROAD ITEMS.
Another change of schedule on Ihe
Western Railroad takes effect to-day.
The time remains unchanged on the Co
lumbus division. The mail and passen
ger train on the main line will run be
tween Montgomery, Alabama, and We3t
Point, Georgia. Mr. J. M. Webster will
be conductor in charge. Mr. George
Hughes, formerly of tho Columbus divi
sion, will run the mail and passenger
train on the Selma division, making close
connections each way with Webster’s
train.
The Montgomery and Columbus bound
mails and passengers from Atlanta, were
yesterday one hour and ten minutes be
hind schedule time at Opelika. The de
lay was caused by hot boxes on the Atlanta
and West Point Engine. Our mails ar
rived only thirty minutes late.
The negroes at and around Salem gave
a Sunday school picnic at Concord church
yesterday, about three miles from Salem
on the Western railroad. While some
were enjoying themselves under an old

Northern Capitalists Coming to This City.
From a private letter we learn there is
a gentleman who is interested in cotton
factories situated at Armsbnry, Mess.,
which are now idle, who speaks of com
ing to this city, and probably will invest
eight or ten thousand dollars in factory
stock. Come on and see the “Lowell of
the South,” and be convinced that we
have the finest water power South, and
the cheapest labor in the United States.
Open Air Meeting.
Rev. J. S. Key, D. D.,discoursed, from

A very large crowd is expected to-night,
and all those living near the yard are
requested to bring a lamp or lantern
which they can carry back when the
services are over.
The Condition of the Cotton Crop.—
The following percentage of the Btate of

noticed that its general product is rather
less than at the same time the two previ

Worked to Death.
We pity that much abused organ, the
liver. It is held responsible for every
little ache and pain. It is censured on
every hand. It is made to daddy nearly
all diseases, and is worked to death. This
is detrimental, unwise and unsafe.
Let the liver rest. Use no
strong medicines. Keep your bowels
open now and then by the
use of mild and simple remedies, those
which are pleasant and received kindly by
the stomach. Such a remedy is Bailey’s
Saline Aperient, which is pleasant, re
freshing and effervescent. It is sold at
one-half the usual price, and is all you

CANADIAN FISHERIES.
ANGLO AMERICAN COMMISSION.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Toronto, August 18.—A special cable
gram from London to the Globe states
that the Times in a lengthy editorial on
the Fisheries Commission says: No sooner
did the Commission begin business than
the conviction arose that another com
mission and another treaty would be nec
essary to settle the dispute. This would
be a very lame aod impotent conclusion
of its labors. It was urged as an excuse
for the treaty that no other terms were
obtainable. It woald have been better to
have had no Washington treaty than to
have failed to provide for a settlement of
the difficulty. It was intended to remove
all points in dispute, but they are as
much in dispute as ever. It is a question
of commercial policy on which the
Times pronounces no opinion, whether
the Canadians would not act wisely, im
porting fishermen of any nationality to
come in and buy bait and ice freely,
There can be no question, they have the
right to exclude foreign fishermen if they
choose under the convention of 1818.
The Times says there is no clear water
out of the numerous difficulties. The
best course, perhaps, would be for the
two governments to como to a prelimina
ry agreement to give the commissioners
power to decide the whole of the cases
laid before them, giving such an en
larged interpretation to the clauses of the
treaty as would do substantial justice be
tween the disputants.

FRANCE.
COURSE OF FIGARO AND MONITEUR.
Paris, August 18 —Tho Figaro, whioh
attacked Duke DeBroglie, President of
Council and Minister of Justice, as being
an obstacle to the proclamation of a state
of Beige, now makes a similar complaint
against Gen. Berlhanl, Minister of War.
The semi-official Morateur, which de
fends Gen. Berthaul, charges Duciat, who
commands at Bouges, with being the in
stigator of these attacks. The Moniteur
thinks it quite allowable that Gen. Ducrat
is approving a policy of force, which he
should regret not being in the Cabinet to
carry out his programme, but considers
it deplorable and serious that he should
stimulate a break up of the Ministry.

CINCINNATI COMMUNISTS.
THEY NOMINATE A STATE TICKET AND AN
NOUNCE A STARTLING CREED.
Cincinnati, August 12—The State Con
vention of the Workingmen’s Party was
held last night in Arbeiter Hall, in this
city. It was a small but very earnest af
fair, composed mostly of people of this
county, with very few delegates from
other parts of the State. In fact, the
only other cities actually represented
were Cleveland and Xenia, and there
were only two delegates from Xenia, and
only ODe from Cleveland. It was there
fore almost entirely a Cincinnati affair,
and the ticket was almost entirely a Cin
cinnati ticket. Col. L. H.
Bond is at tho head of the ticket,
for Goernor. Here is the platform
adopted:
Resolved, That in the comiDg political
campaign we invite the co operation of
all voters who believe that to the laborer
justly and of right belongs the result of
bis labors in the following demands:
First, the payment of wages to the laborer
in the lawful money of the country, and
at intervals of time not greater than one
week, and that suitable penalties be pro
vided for failures to do so ; second, eight
hours for the present as a normal workmg
day, and legal punishment to all viola
tions; third, strict laws making employers
liable for all accidents to the injury of
their employes; fourth, prohibitory laws
against the employment of children under
fourteen years of age in industrial estab
lishments; fifth, prohibition of the use of
prison labor by private employers ; sixth,
abolition of all conspiracy laws; seventh,
sanitary inspection of all conditions of
labor, means of subsistence and dwellings
included; eighth, gratuitous instruction
in all educational institutions ; ninth, la
bor statistics in all States as well as by
tbe National Government—the officers of
these bureaus to be taken from the ranks
of the labor organizations and elect
ed by them ; tenth, the repeal of
the patent and all other laws or
charters giving special privileges
to individuals or companies to the detri
ment of labor; eleventh, the repeal of all
tariff and other acts which provide for the
collection of public revenues by indirect
methods, and the substitution thereof of
a system of direct taxation graduated in
proportion to the amount of property cr
income to be taxed; thirteenth, railroads,
telgraphs, and all means of transporta
tions to be controlled by the Government;
fourteenth, for the purpose of abolishing
the wages system, all industrial enter
prises to be placed under the control of
the Government as fast as practicable and
operated by free co-operative unions for
the good of the whole people ; fifteenth,
that the Constitution be so amended as to
require that all officers of the General
and State Governments shall be elected
by a direct vote of the people.
Garfield and the Reform Orders.—
Congressman Garfield is an acknowledged
leader of the Western Republicans. His
views of party principles are therefore
entitled to some consideration. The fol
lowing is an extract of a reported inter
view with him, which is published in the
New York Tribune:
Question.— “ What is the effect of the
President’s order to the office-holders ?”
Garfield—“I think it has given us
mora of a bick-ret than the Southern
policy, and awakened moie distrust. The
argument I hear against it is that Hayes,
after receiving from the Republican party
all it can bestow, is now endeavoring to
destroy all the methods by which the party
has kept itself in vital organization. This
feeling does not prevail alone among
machine politicians, but is expressed by
the best class of Republicans. If it gains
ground, Hayes will break down.”

the Chair.
the pay of delegates.
Af^er the reading of tbe journal of yes
terday’s proceedings, Mr. Edge, of the
Twenty-first District, called the attention
of the Convention to the question of the
payment of tbe per diem and mileage of
the delegates. He offered a resolution
that as the State Treasurer, under the ad
vice of the Attorney General, declines to
pay out any money on account of the
Convention in excess of the twenty-five
thousand dollars appropriated by the act
of the General Assembly, the President
of the Convention appoint a committee
of nine, one from each Congressional
District, to consider the mattor and report
to the Convention what is proper to be
done in the premises. The resolution
was adopted.
the branch bonds.
The President presented to the Conven*
tion a communication from Maj. Thos.
P. Branch, of Augusta ["published in the
Chronicle and Constitutionalist yesterday
morning], asking that the Courts be
opened to him to adjudicate his claim
against the State, on acconnt of the Ma
con and Brunswick endorsement bonds
puchased by him on the faith of the
action of the Legislature of 1871-’2 de
claring them to be valid and binding up u
the State. In presenting it the Presi -
dent said that strictures had been made
upon him for presenting memorials rela
ting to the disowned bonds, but he
esteemed it his duty to present all memo
rials which were respectful in tone and
language.
A motion was made to lay the memorial
on the table, but was lost by a vote of 49
yeas to 62 nays, and the memorial was
referred to the Committee of Final Revi
sion.
LAWTON ON THE RAILWAY REPORT.
The consideration of the report on the
power of the State over taxation was re
sumed, and Mr. Liwton, of the First
District, spoke in opposition to section
two, giving the Legislature tbe right to
regulate the rates of freight and prevent
freiggt discriminations. He said that this
report was emphatically General Toombs’
report, and was endorsed by none of the
thirteen committees of the Convention.
Mr. Fontaine, of the Twenty fourth
District, interrupting him, said that
whether a committee endorsed it or not
sixty or seventy delegates who were not
on the committees favored the report.
Mr. Gartrell, of the Thirty fifth Dis
trict, also called attention to the fact that
he had introduced an original resolution
on this subject soon after the assembling
of the Convention.
Mr. Lawton said he wished to detract
not from the credit of the gentleman as
the originator of the resolu ion, but
though introduced by him it was not acted
upon by a single committee. The gentle
man from Wilkes, like all other men, has
a monomania, aud that is opposition to
railroads. His report contains utterances
not tru9 in principle nor tenable before
intelligent minds. The man of true cour
age will be cautious about taking posi
tions that are unreasonable, but it is no
thing new that “fools rush in where
angels fear to tread.” After all the ques
tion is whether the interests of the great
State of Georgia and not of particular
localities or corporations are to be Bub
served. Who constitute corporations?
Individuals, many of whom are the peers
of any man in the Convention. All of
them are hard worked and many are great
and generous. Nearly all railroad stock
is owned by private individuals, earned
by the sweat of their brow. Widowp,
young women and children own stock
invested by invitation of the Slate of
Georgia. Then has the State the right to
do them injustice? Now who gave corpo
rations chartered rights and induced men
to invest capital but the State? The
great city of Atlanta has grown np within
the last forty years as a railroad cetre
through the instrumentality of chartered
liberties. Referring to the South
western Railroad, he said Amer
icas may suffer from temporary
fluctuations of rates but the farmer
who carries his cotton a little farther to
Albany pockets the difference and the
State never loses a dollar. By discrimi
nations railroads have furnished power
and capital to Georgia, though at times,
by accidents, the trade of some places
obtains an advantage and a discrimina
tion over others. But there is no equal
ity any where save before the law. Men
differ and are inferior to each other, as
one star differs from another. Shall the
Creator be arraigned for this ? Then, why
attempt to beat down temporary advan
tages or subvert accidental benefits ? It
is too late to say charters are no:, contracts
between States and corporations. The
very last Supreme Court decision an
nounces this fact. I am unwilling that
sixty millions of capital should be ground
to the dust and railroads be rebuilt
by the gentleman from Wilkes. He
knew nothing of his capacity to rebuild.
Herbert Spencer says the greatest diffi
culty in the age is too much legislation.
We try to make water run up hill and
prevent men from reaping inevitable ad
vantages. The term “disc imination,”
so vaguely used, prevents excursions for
Sunday School celebrations, accommoda
tions to ministers or agricultural fairs.
Shall not persons who own the property
be allowed to encourage struggling in
dustries ? Are we prepared to put such a
sweeping term in the Constitution ? We
are treading on dangerous ground. The
cry of “the people” is only a blind to
cover the idosyncrasy of the gentleman
from Wilkes. This scheme can have no
practical interest. Let gentlemen beware,
lest the people of Georgia, in an evil
hour throttle their own prosperity. Rail
road management in Georgia is most skill
ful, and everywhere is considered an ex
ception to the wild schemes which finally
turn railways over to receivers. Until
something is done to give me the mag
nificent proportions of my friend from
Wilkes, until something is done to pre
vent Atlanta from outstripping my own
City by the Sea, until something be done
to prevent the unequal shining of stars,
the time will not arrive to prescribe rail
road rates of transportation.
Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth Dis
trict, said that Illinois had fixed rates of
uniform transportation but abolished
them. Iowa repealed the same law in a
year. Pennsylvania in 1873 adopted it
in her Constitution,but never incorpo
rated it in her public laws. Missouri
copied it, but has had no experience upon
the subject. If abuses have always ex
isted then the Cobbs, Jacksons, Jenkins
< nd Toombs, who did not regulate this in
times past, were faithless to duty aud
recreant to honor. Iu 1G91 England reg
ulated teamsters’ rates. In 1827, when
the first whistle blew, the act was repeal
ed, and Parliament with its power never
enacted it since. There are no laws on
discriminations in France. These facts
only show that even empires find it inex
pedient to enforce such laws. We cannot
regulate freights in Georgia without reg
ulating them in all the States of the
Union. It is a sacred thiDg to shake the
pillars upon which the property of one’s
country rests.
Mr. Toombs—“Better shake the pillars
of property than the pillars of liberty. ”
Mr. Hammond, continuing—“Look at
the history of Georgia from the time rail
roads were first built. Cities have grown,
farms have bloomed and wealth been
FORFEITING CHAETEB3.
Paragraph four was read, as follows:
Par. IV. Any one or more citizens of
this State may, in his or their own name,
or in the name of the State, at his or
their own expense, institute proper legal
proceedings, by quo warranto, or other
wise, in the Superior Courts of this State,
to inquire into any and all violations of
the charters of any railroads, or other
corporations of this State, and have judg
ment of forfeiture against said railroads,
or other corporations in the same manner,
and to the same extent, and for the same
causes, as the State may now do for vio*
lations of law.
Mr. Johnson, of the Thirtieth District,
■aid he opposed the adoption of this par-
pressed into the coffers of the State. I
would not have helpless widows’ incomes
swept away by blows at railroads. It
takes a stronger power th uthe Convention
of Georgia to subvert contracts and over
turn principles established by long lines
of legal decision or firmly rooted in tbe
hearts of the people. When learned men
on one side tell me the move is right, but
cannot among themselves agree, while
others with unanimity tell me the reverse,
I will say the move is too hazardous,
and I, for one, decline to make it. But
no two gentlemen seem to agree upon the
objects or means. All mean to do good,
but this scheme is a hydra-headed mon
ster, of which I em afraid. If this is
wise, it is strange these gentlemen did
not agree or did not insist upon amend
ments before the committee. This is a
business affair. Let us deal with it, not
with passion, but as our best interests
dictate.
Mr. Wofford, cf the Forty-second Dis
trict, said ihe common platform of equal
ity aud justice was based upon middle
ground, so as to fix uniform maximum
rates not inconsistent with the interest of
stockholders and the public welfare, be
ing alike just to both.
Mr. WarreD, of the First District, in
sisted that we are here to legislate for no
class, we are not here as stockholders nor
as the hereditary enemies of railroads.
He wished merely to regulate local
freights and not build a Chinese wall
around the State to drive out through
freights.
Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth
District, favored restraining corporations
within just bounds, just as he would re
strain individuals from going beyond the
bounds of justice; but do not let tho Con
vention endeavor to fix these matters
There are not five men here who can
frame a railroad schedule between Atlan
ta and Chattanooga without killing every
one ou the road. I admire the gentle
men from Wilkes, but unfortunately he
has always been more powerful to pull
down than build np. Do not let us vote
in the dark, gentlemen, but consult the
best interests of the State. Do not let us
follow either extreme.
Mr. GartrelTs amendment as accepted
from Mr. Coats yesterday was tab.ed.
Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis
trict, said that where there can be com
petition the principles of Mr. Liwton are
correct, but where there can be no com
petition, as in the case of railroads, they
are wrong. Monopolies are spoliation,
and railroads being monopolies are spoli
ators. Competition is liberty. If the
gentleman can show mo free trade in
transportation I give np. What greater
power has the King of Eaglaud thau the
people of America ? Both are sovereign
and have power to prevent monopolies,
and a corporation being tbe creature of
the law has no power save that given it
by its great master, tbe State. Equal
rights embody free trade here. The
State has already exempted roads from
taxation, aDd they stand to it like the
grip the devil has on a lost scul. Legis
lation is necessary to protect the stock
holders. We wish to protect the igno
rant against the artful and skillful. Gov
ernment in Georgia and in nearly ail
States has power over corporations.
Railroads in France, England aud Ger
many have not broke through unif< rm rates
They are not big enough fools to fix un
alterable rates. In the Constitution the
State has contributed to railroads rights
and money. Competition is liberty to
the people and prosperity to the State.
Without action the Convention adjourn
ed until 4 p. m.
AFTERNOON SFSSION.
When the Convention reassembled Mr.
Hudson, of the Twenty-ninth District,
said he thought the Convention should
dare do light, and tint if the Convention
adopted the amendment of the gentleman
from Wilkes their action would meet the
hearty endorsement of tho people. To
bring the body to a direct vote he moved
to table the amendment of Mr. Warren.
Lost by a vote of 80 yeas to 95 nays.
Mr. Warren’s amendment was now
read as follows:
“Railroad companies operating rail
roads in this State are hereby declared to
be common carriers. The General As
sembly shall have power to pass laws
regulating freights and passenger fare on
railroads, and when local freights are un
reasonable and extortionate it shall be the
duty of the General Assembly to pass
such laws. The General Assembly shall,
from time to time, establish maximum
rate9 of freight aud passenger fare in this
State, which shall be uniform on all rail
roads in the State and which are just to
the people and not destructive of the
property or rights of the stockholders aud
creditors of railroad companies, and such
as shall make no discrimination nor give
any advantage to the people along the
line of a railroad in one section of tbe
State over those living near and having
business relations with a railroad in any
other section of the State. But such
laws shall not destioy the distinction be
tween local and through freights, which
exists and are recognized generally
throughout the United States; nor shall
they be so framed or executed as to cut
off through business by making rates
upon it uniform with local business, or
to drive through business armiDd the
State, which would otherwise pass over
the railroads of this State; nor shall they
give competing lines between commer
cial cities, which pass around the
State, snch advantages over lines passing
through this State, as to cripple the lat
ter and divert their business in favor of
lines outside the State ; nor shall they
give any advantage to one lice over
another competing line in this State.
Rebates shall never be paid, directly or
indirectly, by any railroad company in
this State, on any through or competitive
business. ”
Adopted by a vote of 100 yens to 76
nays, as a substitute for the section.
PAY OF DELEGATES.
The President announced the following
as the committee under Mr. Edge's res
olution to look into the qnestion of the
payment of the per diem and mileage of
the delegates : Messrs. Edge of tho Sixth
Congressional District ; Screven, of the
First; Davis, of the Second ; Furlow, of
the Third; Buchanan, cf the Fourth:
Crane, of the Fifth; Roberison, of The
Seventh; Lewis, of the Eighth, and
Reese, of the Ninth. Messrs. Lewis,
Reese and Buchanan asked to be and were
excused from serving on the committee.
DISCRIMINATION TABLED.
Paragraph two of section two was read,
as follows:
Par. II. No discrimination in charges,
or facilities for transportation, shall be
made between transportation companies
and individuals, or corporations, or in fa
vor of either, by abatement, drawback, or
otherwise, and no railroad company, or
any lessee or manager or employe thereof,
shall make any preferences in furnishing
cars or motive power.
On motion, it was laid on the table.
BIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN.
Paragraph three was read and adopted,
as follows:
Par. III. The exercise of the right of
eminent domain shall never be abridged,
or so construed as to prevent the General
Assembly from taking the property and
franchises of incorporated companies and
subjecting them to public use, the same
as property of individuals; and the exer
cise of the police power of the State shall
never be abridged, or so construed, as to
permit corporations to conduct their busi
ness in such manner as to infringe the
equal rights of individuals, or the general
well being of the S’aie.
agrapb, because it exposed sixty millions
of property to reckless and wasteful liti
gation.
Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis
trict, advocated the adoption of tbe para
graph. He said that every man ought to
be able to defend public rights as well as
his own. “The Legislature refused me
power to sue Simon Cameron, Delano
and others for stealing the property of
the State, under cover of a corporat on.
Any man, at bis own expense, ought to
be able to stand up for public rights.
You may sue yourselves, sue a negro, bat
not railroads. To this complexion has it
come at last. Any corporation in the
State can sue me, but I can’t sue a siDgle
corporation except for personal injury.”
Mr. Jenkins, of the Eighteenth Dis
trict, said he did not favor allowing cor
porations to violate their charters with
impunity. In England complaint is
lodged with the King in Council. Forty
years ago the Georgia Legislature was
notified that a bank in Augusta had vio
lated its charter. As the Attorney Gen
eral he filed a writ of quo warranto id
Richmond Superior Court, and after a
thorough sifting tbe charter was forfeited.
Here was a dignified proceeding, out if
any and every man be allowed for every
imaginable offense to sue corporations,
the persecution will be intolerable.
Again, a man afraid bimse-f to sne corpn
radons, might hire others to instilu'esnit
Vindictive men may thus blackmail cor
porations. I hope never to see the day
in which the sovereignty of Georgia is
thus degraded. Georgia has now several
roads on her hands which it would be
wise to sell, but yon cannot do this with
out transferring to the purchasers the
charters now of force You will offer to
sell in vain if yon so incumber the corpo
rations with vexatious burdens.
Without action the Convention ad
journed.
