TUB CONSTITUTION. ATT. A JIT A, GEORGIA, APRIL. 26. j Gov. Itiillock’s Humbug About Kn- forclng Law iu Georgia. Gov. Bullock Is la Washington slander ing Georgia abont her quiet, lie says he can’t enforce law here. This is cool in the face of the fact that he refuses to appoint a Judge for this Circuit in the place of Pope, resigned some time ago. We are informed that he declared he would not appoint a Judge while Georgia remained a provisional government. Good. Senator Sumner a few days ago, finding that the Constitution of the United States wouldn't cover his broad Radicalism, tried to stretch tbc Declaration of Independence over it. That was hardly clastic enough, and lie mustered in the phrase, E Pluribue Cans. Senator Carpenter gave him thegenteel- cst Carrying about bis E Plurilms Unum. that we have enjoyed in-many a long day. lie seemed to think that Sumner has rath er over-done the tiling, when he was so far outside of law, reason, sense and usage in his notions, as to make E Pluribue Unum the basis of bis political chimeras. We re gret that we have not space to reproduce the debate from the Globe. It is rich. Car penter rings his Irony upon Snmncr ex quisitely. Sumner got furious, and charg ed him with being a Secessionist, and wearing the blood-stained habiliments of John C. Calhoun. But Carpenter squelched him with the EPlurtbue Unum irony. Its Withers Wrung- The Radical organ squirms much over the exposure of the true statement of Dr. Angler’s taiegrapb -abont Gov. Bullock’s drawing *20400 from Mr. Rice’s National Bank. What particularly harts is that U should have stated as a suspicion what Angler did not charge, viz: that thedrart was to he paid ontof the State Road funds. Mow did it come to think that Angler had charged thief Angler simply stated that the bank on which Gov. Bullock drew was the deposi tary of the State Road funds. The guilty connection between the two was first an nounced by the organ. The organ thinks Angler’s dispatch an implied imputation upon the Bank officers, the State Itoad Treasurer and Governor Bullock. This is strange. The facts of the dispatch are undented by the organ. If trnc, nobody has a right to complain. If the organ’s statement means any thing,then it is that the facts are an Implied imputa tion on these gentlemen mentioned. The organ knows why. It certainly lias not helped the matter by patting itself in the position of having to explain why the statement of facts hurts these parties The Boml or the State Bond Treas urer Inadequate — Another Evi dence or Itullock’s'Vigilance in Protecting the State’s Interests. The Treasurer of the State Road is re quired to give bond and security, approved by the Governor, in the sum of one hun dred thousand dollars. The wisdom of this requirement will not be questioned, when we reflect that the Road has cost the State six millions, and is now valncd at ten millions. The Treasurer is the custodian of Its earnings, and his office is, therefore, impor tant to the people of Georgia, and should lie carefully guarded. Hence tho legislature requires the Gov ernor to take an approved bond of the Treasurer before lie enters upon tbc duties of his office. The present Treasnrcr, Isaac I*. Harris, returns, as shown liy tho Tax Digest of 1869,91,950. Ills securities, six in number, viz: John Harris, Augustus II. Lee, Jos. Harris, Charles L. Bowkcr, S. N. Stalling, and J. W. B. Simmers. Returns in the ag gregate *31,886, and our dear Governor, nrho lovea Ills people so devotedly, and -guard* their Interests so scrupulously, ap proves the bond. Allowing the homestead af *3,000 in gold to each of these securities, and it would make *1400 in gold. Reduce this to the currency In which their tax returns are made—estimating the premium of gold at fifteen per cent.—and It makes 520,700 of the property of these securities exempt from levy and sale. Deduct this amount from the *31,886, returned under oath by zaid securities, and it leaves *11,ISO subject .to their liabilities. But two of these securities are not worth as much as the homestead gives them. Joseph Harris does not return a dollar. Chas. L. Bowkcr only 81,250. Add Harris’ homestead, and also Bowker’s, less the 81,- 250 returned, to *11,180, It will make *16,836 worth of tho property of said securities subject to their liability. Yet, the Gov ernor Is required, by law, to take a bond with approved security in the sum of *100,- 000. Truly, our Governor guards well the State Interest. „ Tho Gnat Policy of the Radical Organ. Keep It up, brother organ. It will snit exactly the calibre of yonr non-reading African subscribers. Forney Secured in Bullock’s In terest. The following pa ragraph from the Wash ington correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette, may throw some light on Forney’s persistent devotion of his paper, the Wash ington Chronicle, to the advocacy of Gov. Bullock’s schemes. In the light of Col. Forney’s past record, no one donbts that bis services have not been gratuitously given. His antecedents furnish room for suspicion. The Worst feature of the matter is that he should use the. weapons' of falsehood to serve his Gcorgta employees. His deliber ate garbling of an editorial from the Macon Telegraph and Messenger is In point to show the unscrupulous character of bis ad vocacy : Governor Bollock will leave for Georgia to-morrow. He leaves no friends here, and will find none at his journey’s end. He ought, however, to remain until the Judic iary Committe have time to ventilate his lobby schemes. Apropos to this matter, Forney has an editorial on it this morning, full of his usual misrepresentations. It wasnotthe statements in the Gazette which led Mr. Edmonds to call for an investiga tion; his information was received direct ly from two Senators to whom bribes had been offered for their votes against the Bingham amendment. Forney’s misstate ments are fatly accounted for, however, in the following extracts from a Washington letter to one of Bullock’s organs in Geor gia. “They” (Bullockand Blodgett) “have secured to their interest the Chronicle, and the persona! efforts of its able editor, Colo nel John W. Forney. HU personal influ ence with Congressmen is great,” etc. How “ secured f” The admissions contained in the foregoing sentences are no less remark able than truthful. What did it cost to “secure” the Chronicle and the “personal efforts of Forney ?” Georgia New& The LaGrange Reporter says Mrs. Wal drop, of Henry county, U107 years old.

Proposed Change in the Great Southern Mail Route. So frequent of late have been the irregu larities and failures of the great mails be tween Now York and New Orleans, both by the Western route, via Louisville, and Southern route, via Knoxville, that the Post-office Department has commenced in quiries as to the practicability of procuring better service by diverting the mails from the Western route at Jackson on the South western route at Corinth, and cany them over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad as faras Meridian, and thence by way of Jackson, or by diverting them from the Southwestern route at Cleveland, and carrying them thence via Atlanta, Kingston, Romo, Selma, Meridian and Jackson, or by dispensing with tho Southern route SouUi of Wash ington, and running thence via Richmond, Weldon, Wilmington, Kingsville, Augusta, Atlanta, Kingston, Rome, Meridian and Jackson. If it shall be found tho great through mails can he convoyed with greater regularity by either of those routes, the change will be immediately ordered by tho Department. ' Fact.

A Ricli Debate in flic Colored Lit erary Society, of Atlanta—Wo man's Rights front a Dark Stand point.—What the “’Scendants” of Ham Think of the Question. A letter from Atlanta to the Springfield Republican says:' - At the last meeting of tho literary socie ty connected with the Store School for freedmen. the question for discussion was the popular one of woman suffrage. Each member had an opinion and a reason for it, and several of them evinced great quick ness in answering an argument from the opposition. Some of the point- made were decidedly original. One girl about fifteen years old said: “ Why jus’ see how it was in de garden ob Eden; Eve ate dc apple fnst, but dcre wasn’t any fu-8 made about it till Adam ate one too, and den de Lord called him to account for dem both, ’cause the commandment was giben tode man, though Eve was ’sponsible for her own ac tions, ob course!” One several years younger, replied to the statement that wo men did not understand matters connected with government, by saying that she lived once near a liquor store, and saw the pro prietor bring a number of men who “ had not good sense,” and after giving them all the whisky they could drink take them to polls. “ Now.” she continued, “I think a sober woman i3 jus’ as fit to vote as a drunken man.” Another said that the polls were surrounded by rowdies, and were not suitable places forladies, and was followed by still another, who thought that difficulty could be obviated by having separate places for the men and women, opon which the first one remarked that the white men would not vote at the same place with the colored men, and the women would certainly haveas mnch feeling about it, “an’den I’d like to know how many polls dere’d have to be!"- The question, proposed by one of tbc scholars, for the next meeting was, whether the negro or Indian had the most cause for complaint. In the regular school exercises I was sur prised at the attainments of some who have known the alphabet only three or fonr are. Feminine.

A late New York scandal is of n married lady who fell vety desperately in love with her daughter’s fiancee. The daughter sus pecting it, dismissed her lover, who wont ’to Europe, and the mother went after him in the very next steamer with her maid. A story is going the rounds of tho press that there is a place in New Hampshire where there are never any old maids. When n girl reaches twenty-nine, and Is still on tho lndder or expectation (the last round), the young fellows club together and draw lots for her. Count C- a Paris dandy, recently per sistently annoyed one of the prettiest American ladies in Paris, by foliowing her wherever she went. At last the American spirit of independence could stand it no longer being tracked step by step, and Miss boldly turned to the petit creve and asked him politely, but energetically, to “vanish.” Hereupon the gentleman (sie) Indulged in an ardent declaration, which was interrupted by the young lady’s breaking her umbrella over his head. The Count swears he will take his revenge upon .tho first American who falls into bis hands. With that liberality of commendation for good things that has always marked this journal, wo hasten to bestow the proper meed of admiration upon that feature of the Radical organ’s administration, that wc do not know better bow to designate, than its “Gnat Policy.” The feat arc is on the large minded order, and so thoroughly conforms to tho noble mission of dignified and comprehensive JonrnalUBi, that wc should be derelict of duty If we did not call attention to it.

No less than fifty infants, between tho ages of fonr months and four years, were changed in as many seconds, and the party mado their cscapo just as the anxious mothers, fresh from their triumphs of the German, were making their way to the nursery to visit and refresh their * tootsy wootsics.’ Snch a sceno as took place!

BAY BEFORE THE MEETING. . A number of the delegates are already here. Dr. Mell, the President, who enjoys an enviable reputation as a presiding offi cer. Dr. Landram, the popular pastor of the 1st Baptist Church. In Savannah, where he has labored with great success for near ly a dozen years, and still possesses the un- diminished confidence and affection of his people. Dr. DeVotle, of Columbus, who has been held to his present field for four teen years, by the affectionate regard and entreaties of an appreciative congregation, who, notwithstanding his feeble health tor a few years, refused to release him as their pastor. But if I should mention none hnt Doctors, you might suppose we had no worthy brethren in the University but snch as enjoy this distinction. Then here is M. J. Wellborn; of yore he enjoyed the prefix of honorable—a title earned on the bench and in the national hall of legislation, in the purer days of the glorions past, when onr judiciary was un tainted by corruption, and onr Congress unbiassed by bribes; hut Mr. Wellborn is now an humble, zealous, useful and pious minister of the Gospel.

You do not expect me to give you. particulars of this meeting, since they shutout persons not members of their body. Listening through the key holes, or otherwise, I learned that the in come of tbe college from dividends and tuition the present year amounted to 812,- 000. That the institution has an endow ment of $130400. besides the property in Penfield. Among other difficulties men tioned as hindering the full prosperity of the University was that of location. It is away from the railroad, without a town to sustalD.and capacity to entertain persons who may desire to attend commencements. It is inaccessible to the pnblic. and hamto be hunted np by such os love it so well as to carry their boys there. Nothing is recommended directly 'as to removal. Yet the Board are almost unani mously in favor of moving the University from Penfield. The selection of a location is a matter of the first importance. Once removed it must remain forever. It is a question worthy of consideration by the influential friends of the College, as to whether it is not right and best lor educa tion to be carried to the doors of as many as possible of those who ought to receive the oentits arising from it Tho policy of the friends of education in Europe has al ways been to bnild their Colleges in large cities, and populous centers. This is the trite policy—their success, many of them for centuries demonstrate this fact. A Col lege should be placed, if possible, where the local patronage will sustain it. . Your people have done well for them selves in securing the location of OOLETnORFE COLLEGE, but they have not done so well for it. They want an institution of high order and self- sustaining. You ought, therefore, to have f ’iven it at least one hundred thousand dol- ars as nn endowment fund, in an addition to the buildings you propose to erect. Yonr city is wide awake and holding out its hands to catch every passing enterprise that proposes to increase its population and ■finances, but it does not seem willing to cay for the advantage it seeks. Let onr cities pursue the most generous course towards our institutions of learn ing. and then tliey will so far increase their efficiency as to realize the highest advan tages from them. MEETING OF DELEGATES. The delegates present met this evening at the church, and instead of a sermon, as manv expected, they had, I believe they callc'd it a “ talking, or informal devotional meeting.” These Baptists are great talk ers. when you get them started; but to night, they talked to good purpose.

ORGANIZATION. At 3 o’clock Dr. Mell called the body to order and after the report of the Committee on Credentials was read, an election for of ficers was ordered. The former officers were re-elected, to-wlt: Dr. P. II Mell. President, Rev. G. R. McCall, Clerk, and Rev. A. A. Baiiy, Assistant Clerk. On motion of Rev. Mr. Chandoin twenty- five minutes were spent in devotional ex ercises. '• ; -. . CELEBRITIES .. Among the distinguished visitors pres ent; were A. D. Phillips, for fourteen years missionary In Africa. Rev. Mr. Iloguc, for twelve years missionary among the Chock- taw Indians. Rev. Dr. Teasdale. of Mem phis, Tenn. Rev. Dr. Snmner, of Marion, Alabama. Among the absentees whose presense has for long years in the past cheered and blessed the Convention, were those of Rev. Jesse H. CampbellandTIiomas'Stocks; the former for many years one of the most popu lar, zealons ana efficien t ministers of his de nomination; the lattera layman of distinc tion, who, for . twenty-five years, was Speaker of tho House of Representatives, in tlio better and purer days of the Empire State of the South. He was also, for a number of years the presiding officer of this body. Now, both these gentlemen are growing old. Mr. Stocks has already past sis four- score. How melancholy the thought that these vnlued and useful men are henceforth lost to us, because standing on the border of tho better land, only wait- cst, and tender, and with all, manifested a power of analysis and construction which promise growing usefulness, with growth in grace and years. Objection. I love these social religious gatherings, the influence is good, but it is not unmlngled with evil. I do not mean so much moral evil as so cial, or physical. It may be more a mis fortune than an evil. However, it is an evil, a very great evil. Were you ever In bed with a man who snored? Did you ever return late, alter a day’s fatiguing work, and feel it was important yon should obtain some refreshing sleep to prepare you for the labors of the ensuing day, and just as you became quiet and composed yourself for the night, a sound, something like the dying straggles of a suffocating man, proceeded from the open mouth of your bed-fellow? Well, sir. this is the greatest evil to be found in these bodies. 1 don’t suppose that Baptists snore worse tbau others. J hope it is not criminal In a religious sense to snore. Bnt snoring is certainly an evil, a great evil. Have you any insurance companies that issue poli cies against snoring bed-fellows? If so, send me one by tclegraoh, if you don’t get this in time to send by mail, for I can’t stand it another night. Is there no cure for snoring? Please ask the medical fac ulty of your city. If they have none, sug gest it as a query to the next session of the Medical Association of the State. Echo. SECOND DAY. Newnan, April 23,1870. According to the resolution of yesterday a half hour was spent in devotional exer cises. This “sweet hour of prayer” kindles the fires of devotion, softons any asperities of nature, and increases the fraternal feel ing of tbe brotherhood, and thus they are the better prepared for the religious duties of the day. A special prayer was made in view of the important interests involved in tho discussions of to-day. Mr. Clark opened the disenssion. He stated that the LOCATION OF OUR COLLEGE had never been free from agitation. Dr. Mercer, for whom it was named, was op posed to Penfield as a suitable location. Now was the time for a full, free and Ira. ternal disenssion of tiie subject. He had moved an indefinite postponement yester day. because he desired a discussion of tbe subject on its merits, which he would now enter upon. 1. There was too little water to supply the wants of the few who lived there, mnen less for the commencementQccasions. John the Baptist selected “ Enon because there was much water there;” the Baptists of the present day did not want less. The location was soobsenro that the out. side world did-not know where it was—the people called it the PENFIELD INSTITUTE AND SCHOOL. He had graduated there, and yet some of bis friends were surprised that the farm la bor performed at the Institute had not promoted ids physicial development. He was rather delicate for one raised in a manual labor school. Its want of reputa tion with tho outside world prevented many from sending their sons to Mercer. He was the friend of tbe University at Pen- field or elsewhere, and lienee he desired to place it where it might enjoy equal advan tages with other institutions. In the midst of the discussion, the hour set apart for preaching arrived. The REV. MR. EARLE, now engaged in conducting meetings in your city, delivered a forcible and a very affecting sermon, on the Divine Family. I sat id the rear of the church where I could observe the effect on - the people. There were many who wept frequently, and all were attentive, and listened to every word spoken. Mr. Earle -is a remarkable man— not for Ids any tlthical power—not for Ids ;racc and eloquence- not for his learning. Hit certainly for ids faith, which is an ele ment of power wherever found in the min istry of the Gospel We all feel better since we heard Mr. Earle’s sermon. I think wc will now dis cuss our differences on tho removal of our College with more deference to tbe opin ions and feelings of each other. Were you ever in NEWNAN? This is the centre of hospitality. Here you find generous and polite gentlemen, who greet you with unaffected cordiality at the thresholds of their homes. Here you find ever-glorious woman adorned with smiles and graces, and presiding in her sphere as the soul of Intelligence and ease. In the parlor, entertaining and at tractive; and in the dining room, a queen dispensing the richest viands to her guests, GOOD LIVING. These Baptist delegates are fond of good t, and enjoy with the keenest relish. BY TELEGRAPH. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. ing the opening of tho pearly gates that they may enter the Celestial City.

The report stated that the build ings of the University needed repairs, the apparatus required replenishing and the living! the bountiful and excellent preparations mado for their entertainment. It Is pro posed that our University be removed to this place, and that we have two com mencements a year, just to enjoy the good living which the Newnaq housewives are proverbial for preparing.

REMOVAL OF MERCER. After the report was referred to a special committee. Rev. Mr. Irwin offered a reso lution, that the present location of the University is unsatisfactory, and that it onglit to be removed. Rev. John T- Clark then moved the in definite postponement of the resolution, and arose to address the body on the mer its of the removal question, but the hour having arrived, the Convention adjourned till 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. It Is nnderstood, I believe, that tiie object of Mr. Clark’s motion is simply to secure a full discussion of the subject, without any side issues or proposed amendments. Rev. Mr. Kilpatrick lias on paper a com promise of the whole question of removal and location, by referring it to the Trus tees and a similar nnmbcr of delegates, folly empowered to act after a calm and full investigation of the whole subject. It this proposition can secure npanimitv and removal, it will be most happy for the de nomination; and' will'distinguish the au thor of tbe~scheme. But I most not an ticipate.

Objection was made, and the resolution was not entertained. Subsequently, Booker offered the same resolution, and the House again, by a vote of 69 to 90. refused to second the demand for tho previous question and allow it to be entertained. Several honrs was consumed in hearing excuses of members absent Friday even ing, when the House was called to order. The tariff bill was resumed. No pro gress.

Mr. NUNNALLl offered as a substitute lor the whole, a resolution that a commit tee be appointed to wait upon tho Gover nor and inform him that tiie General As sembly hail met, and were ready to pro ceed to business, and to receive any mess age or communication from him.

Prayer by Rev. W. M. Crumley, pastor of Trinity Church. Mr. BRYANT moved that the nousc do now proceed to transact sucii business as properly come before it. Mr. BRYANT thought the House should either proceed to business or adjourn. Tho tax bill, appropriation net and school bill ought now to be acted on. The affairs of the State Road ought to be investigated by men outside of tiie members of the Legis lature, known for honor and integrity. Grave charges are made against its present management, and those charges should be Investigated. . Thc'charges of Treasurer Angler against Gov. Bullock should be investigated, and If sustHinwl) the Governor should be im- leached. As one who helped to elect Hill ock, he stood ready, when the charges were proven, to vote for his inqicaclimeiit. Mr. RICE, a Northern colporteur, hero called Mr. Bryant to order. The Speaker thought Mr. Bryant had taken too wide a range. DARNELL,of Pickens,offeredasasub- stitute, that a joint committee of three from the Senate and five from the House be appointed to wait upon Provisional Gov ernor Bullock aud ascertain what is tho proper course to be pursued by the Gen eral Assembly under the circumstances. Mr. PHILLIPS, of Echols, made a forci ble speech in favor of transacting appro priate busincs and going home. Mr. PRICE, of Lumpkin, offered as a substitute for the whole, a resolution that a committee of threo be appointed to wait upon Provisional Governor Bullock and inform him that the House Iuul met and was ready to proceed to business, a id re ceive any communication I nun him. Mr.BUY'ANT withdrew Ids motion. Mr. SCOTT, of Floyd, raised a constitu tional point of order that, under article 3, section 3, no session can be prolonged lon ger than forty days, nnlcss by a vote of two-thirds. Mr. SCOTT contended that members had sworn to support the Constitution of Geor gia, and even as a provisional Legislature were acting under It. The Legislature has been In session 47 days, ami any act now K irformcd is unconstitutional, unless the ouse should resolve to suspend tho rules and extend the session for ten or fifteen days. The SPEAKER ruled that tho point was not well taken. Mr. SCOTT appealed from that decision. Tho House refused to sustain tbe call for tiie yeas and nays, and sustained the Speaker's decision. . Mr. PRICE., of Lumpkin, supported his resolution in a pointed speech. He was in favor of treating Gov. Bullock with duo courtesy, but he was unwilling that Gov. Bullock should do bis own thinking. Gov. Bullock was a Provisional Governor. The legislature should act. He would stay here until the State Treasury was ex hausted of its last dollar, or a Common Scliocd bill was passed. Mr. PR ICE called the previous question on his resolution. Mr.TWEEDY, of Canada, said it was unfair to gag the Republicans. Mr. PRICE said that, as he disliked to act discourteous to the Governor, and sun- posing the gentleman had something offi cial to state, and with that understanding, ho would withdraw the call. Mr. TWEEDY, of Canada, then “ spoko n piece" (what he paid for it is not known) inveighing' against the Democracy in par ticular. At tbe close of his remark*, lie moved that Mr. Price’s resolution be laid upon the table. The yeas and nays were called, with tho following result : yeas 56, nays 53. So tiie motion to lay on the table pre vailed. The previous question was called on Mr. Darnell’s resolution. TURNER, of Bibb, and PORTER, of Chatham, wanted to change the phraseolo gy nf the resolution. TURNER was opposed to asking Gov. Bullock what the Legislator should not do. Tiie previous question was called upon the passage af Darnell's resolution. The Speaker decided the motion lost. Mr. BRY’ ANT moved to adjonru until 12 ., to-morrow. Mr. TWEEDY mado a statement, npon which tbe Speaker reversed Ids previous decision. Tiie Spoaker announced the resolution adopted by yeas 53, nays 52.
