HF. HI Nil THE CLOVB ■■ THE RON
■TILE SHINING.
The South hag been politically per
fected, though suffering. This remark,
made by a distinguished Georgian in our
Opera House a few years ago, in a public
address, wss never truer then now. The
future oeema more bright and hopeful
than even in what seemed our palmiest
history. Vie have had our days that were
dark and dreary, but tbe beauteous bow
spans the horizon as a signal the
storm has passed. All the clouds
that lowered above our bouse are
in the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
In politioal feeling and opinion the South
ia a unit, and in theeounoilsof the nation
has a power and influenoe whiob has
never been surpassed in her proudest an
nals. She demands nothing but wbst is
right and just—only equal patronage with
that whioh has bean lavished so freely on
other sections. Her people en masse be
long to the only national party in this
oountry, the Democratic, and all the end
they aim for is (heir oountry’s good. They
are true and loyal to tbe Constitution, and
yield in love snd veneration to the time-
honored principles of Government to
none.
The South bolds the balance of power
in this oountry, and wields It, and intends
doing so for tbe oommon welfare. She
has gained tbe position in direct opposi
tion to the ltepublican party. That or
ganization, to defeat the Confederacy and
fill tbo shattered ranks of its army with
blacks, freed tbe slaves. After tbe revo
lution they made the freodman a voter to
doatroy tbo supremacy of the Southern
whiles, firmly establish on ourseetfon and
perpetuate the rule of Republicanism.
By this they increased the Southern rep
resentation Ihirty-fivo members in the
lower House of Congress and the same
nnmbcr of votes in tbe Eleotoral College.
They dreamed, poor, deluded souls, that
ednoation and wealth would be forever
under tho fetters of superstition and
ignoranoe, and the Southern world, at
least, would go baokwarda.
How all their sohemos have reaoted to
their disoomfiture. The Democrats have
oupturod those thirly-five votes, and led
and animated by Georgia,the entire South
has boon redeemed, and presents an al
most unbroken front. Stirred by their
example tbo Democrats of the North, with
their allies, have very nearly obtained
control of tbo Uoitod States Senate, and
m two years more it will be more of
national representative body than at auy
previous time in tbe last sixteen years.
At the same timo, these schemes of tbe
foiled ltepublioans have given ns the
obeapeBt labor on earth. Farmers are
no longer troubled with olothing, food
and medioinek of their employes.
These now oumo from tbo wages of the
laborers, who appear oontented under the
arrangement. Now that bad men who
fostered and enoonraged difficulties to
provoke bloodshed, and piotnred imagin
ary horrors to fire the Northern heart
for party effect have fallen from power,
tho raoos are living in peaoe, friendship
aud harmony. Aa a result, tbe onoe at
tractive ballot has lost Ub oharms, and the
froedmen had rather til the fields than
spend the days in voting, and even when
they ohoose to exeroise the privilege they
go willingly with the better olaas of em
ployers. So mnoh for tbe frustration of
ltadioal plana. The reanlt is qniet reigns
end the land teemB with bounteous har
vests.
The blaoks are being eduoated by the
States. In process of time this will furn
ish a butter informed olass of labor and
the tenant system he more universally
adopted to tho advantage of the aonntry.
Having this, immigrants will be attraoted
thither, for there will be no eanse for the
old prejudice against the ignoranoe of the
oommon band. They will then know the
schoolmaster is abroad and all oan share
his teaohing, oaoh raoe separate to its
plaoe. Out soil and olimate are superior
to auy on earth, and tho States are pursu
ing the oorroot course to draw population
and wealth.
The South has regained her politioal
prestige, and the future is bright with
hope and prosperity. The rainy days
have past, so he still sad heart and oease
ropining. We have beaten ltadioalism
with its own woapons, and while the labor
of the North was on the verge of revolu
tion a short time sinoe that of tho South
was still and plaoid as the oalm of
her summer skies. Talk hopefully, leave
doapomlenoy where none oan see or hoar
it, speak of tho pleasant features that are
ao abundant, and loavo tho vales of gloom.
Cheerful faces and words will wonderfully
aid tho prosperity. Blight, bravo words
and acts over produce benefioent offeota,
and one oxhilarating nature is of more
uso to the world than hundreds of croak
ers.

Angnr—Well, Mr. Stephens, what do
yon think of the new Constitution ?
Mr. 8.—I like it very much an a whole.
It is mnoh better than tbe existing one,
snd better, I think, then any we have
ever had—even superior to that of 1798.
Specially do I like that portion whioh se
cures perfect eqnality end protection to
life, liberty end property to ell alike, and
whiob ensures equality, before the lew to

The Milledgeville Recorder has this :
Prof. Joseph LeConte.—This well known
scientific and literary gentleman, at prej
sent a citizen of California, spent a few
days in this oity, daring the past week.
His visit to the East waa induced by the
pnblioatlon of a new work, mainly soien -
tiflo, which he has been anperintending in
the oity of New York for the past three
months. On his return to California be
took in Colombia, S. 0., and Milledge
ville, Ga., where big daughters, Mrs. Davis
and Mrs. F. 0. Forman respectively
reside. The brothers, John and Jossph,
are well known as professors, formerly
of the State University, subsequent
ly of the South Carolina College and
at present of the University of the State
of California. They are native Geor
gians, and graduates of onr State Univer
sity. They are widely known as cultiva
ted obristian gentleman, and eminent lit
erary and scientific men. They have not
been inaptly termed (alliterative as well as
literate.) Siamese Scientists, for they
oling closely together, and refuse to be
separated. They are as devoted one to
tbe other, as to their Soientifio pursuits.
Georgia ia proud of such boob ; and it
would be well for her if they oonld be
persuaded to return to their first love.

liens or mechenios end laborers, who ere,
by the existing Constitution, entitled to
liens on all property on whioh they
work?
Mr. S.—No, sir. The provision to that
effect in the existing Constitution has no
business there. It is proper subject mat
ter for the lew makers bnt not for tbe
framers of a Constitution
Anger—Has not tbe Convention gone
too far into detail ? That is the general
complaint.
Mr. 8.— I don't think it baa, I would
not have cared if it had gone farther in'
that direetion.
Anger—How about tbe provision af
fecting railroads ?
Mr. S.—Well, I don't think the provis
ions relative to them allowing the Login
latnre to regulate freights, eto., amounts
to mnoh either way. It merely asserts a
right which ths State already posse
a right whioh most be examined with
justioe towards the railroads.
Anger—Whst do yon think of the olanse
relative to lobbying ?
Mr. S.—That provision making lobby
ing a penal offense pleases me very mnoh.
It Is a good move in the right direetion.
Anger—Do yon like tbe provision al
lowing appeals from one jury to another ?
Mr. 8.—Yea ; it ia a return to the old
praotiee, and in its working it insured
justice. Its adoption will greatly lessen
tbe labors of the Supreme Conrt, the
doeket of whioh is over-orowded nnder
tbe existing law, and will bring the ad
ministration of jnstioe boma to tbe peo
ple. Its adoption will prevent so many
motions for new trials having to be dis
posed of by the Oironit Judges aa is now
the oase, and a party who ia oast in the
first trial, and who thinks he has not ob
tained jnstioe, oan on the appeal have a
full opportunity to present hia entire
case. I also like tbe privilege the pro
posed Constitution gives of allowing par
ties who are too poor to pay coats in Su
preme Conrt to make affidavit in forma
pauperis. That is aa it should be. I am
also greatly pleased with another olanse
affecting the Judiciary; I mean that
whioh makes tha jury, in eriminal oases,
jndgea of the law aa well as of the faots,
The Supreme Conrt has virtually abroga
ted the existing law whioh entitles juries
to tbe same power, bnt this provision in
the Constitution will annul these deci
sions and will put juries in possession of
tbiB power whiob rightfully belongs to
them.
Anger—Don’t yon think the Gonven
lion made a great mistake in redneing the
salaries of the Jndgea.
Mr. S.—I think it was a mistake
to eat down the salaries of. tbe Judges, or
Legislators or the Executive, bnt it seems
to have been done nnder the impression
that it was yielding to tbe imperative de
mand of the people for retrenchment,
will aeenre tbe onrtailmnnt of a large
amount of annnal expenditure. I have
made no exaot estimate bnt I believe the
onrtailment of salaries end expenditures
proposed by the new Constitution will
save folly $200,000 annually to the State.
Anger—Should not some uroviaion have
been made by whioh ohums againt the
State might be passed upon otherwise
than by the Legislature?
Mr. S.—Yea, air; that waa a mistake,
The new Constitution should have eatab-
lished a tribunal for the trial of claims
against the State, bnt, in this respeet, it
w no mote defeotive than tbfi existing
Constitntion, end if in the fntnre this
omission and the onrtailment of salaries
shall be fonnd to work in jnstioe end in
convenience, all this can ba remedied by
amendment properly made.
Anger—Do yon like the Idea of biennial
sessionsjof the Lrgislatnre ?
Mr. 8.—Yes, sir. That ia a good pro
vision, as also is the portion limiting the
number and regnlating the salaries of tbe
olerks in tbe Executive and other depart
ments. Tbe election of tbe State Honse
offioials, tbe Seoretary of Btate, Comp,
trailer. General, Treasurer and Attorney.
General by the people is right, and
heartily approve of it, aa I also do of the
provision potting the eleotion of the
Judges in the Legislators, and by the
whole Legislature. The provision lessen
ing tbe patronage of the Governor is wise,
Anger—I suppose yon approve of the
olause whioh direota that no money shell
be drawn from the Treasury exoept by a
vote of the majority of members elected
to eaob Honse?
Mr. S.—Yes, sir. I like that very
mnob. It is, I think, e new feature in
Auierioan Constitutions.
Angur—Whst do yon think of the pro
hibition against speoial legislation ?
Mr. S.: That ia right. It has been
truly said that Legislatures cannot be
chained down too mnoh, I don’t think
the Convention has gone a step too tar in
that direotion. I also earnestlly approve
the prohibition on municipal corporations
and oounties from inearring debts exceed
ing seven per oent. of the assessed value
therein, and requiring them first to pro
vide for repayment of the debt about to
he incurred. I wanted Gen. Toombs to
introduce a measure prohibiting snoh cor
porations or counties from incurring debt
unless two-thirds of tbe grand jnry
should first recommend it.
Anger: What about the prohibition
against making new eonnties?
Mr. S.; There should be no more new
oounties. I wish, however, the Gonven-
tion had increased the membership of the
two HoaneB of the General Assembly. I
wonld have a Senate of one hundred
members, and a Honse of two hundred,
bnt in this respeat the proposed Constitn
tion does not differ from the existing one.
Anger—Mr. Stephens, do yon like the
educational provisoes ?
Mr. 8.—Yes. They do nothing, that is,
they do not disturb existing systems.
There is one provision in this oonneetion
whioh I heartily endorse. It is that whioh
allows the General Assembly to make ap
propriations for the benefit of tbe Uni
versity for the oolored people in the-same
way as for the whites.
Anger—Of ooarse yon are pleased with
the provisions relative to taxation ?
Mr. S.—Yes, it is the best provision to
that offoet ever incorporated in any fun
damental law in the history of civiliza
tion.
Anger—Does tbe homestead snityon
Mr. S.. The homestead provision has
perhaps been disposed of as well as i'
could havo been, by submitting it sepa
rately to the people. I prefer the new
homestead, as proposed, to the existing
one. but I wish it had not allowed the
head of a family to waive it. The family
should be insured against destitution,
even Bgaiust the eat of its heed.
Anger: Do you favor tbe removal of
the oapital ?
Mr. 8. ; Well, that question has also
been disposed of beet by submitting it,
separately from tbe Oonatitutian, to tbe
people. For myself I prefer Atlanta.
Here the dinner bell rang and th$ bor
ing prooess wee stopped. Evidently re
lieved et this cessation of hostilities, Mr.
Stephens wheeled his chair in which he
eat out of the room, remarking, “As I
said before, I like the proposed Constitu
tion as a whole, and think it will be
adopted. I doubt if there will be any
organized opposition against it."
