BQP- The vote in the House on yesterday
was a triumph of right over might, of con
stitutional freedom over usurpation and
tyranny. Let the good work be perfected.
JQT Let every anti-prolongation^ be at
his post to-day, ready to act and circumvent
the efforts of the friends of freedom and
equal rights. Georgia expects every man
to do his duty.
QT That they may frighten certain
members into voting for a reconsideration
of the “prolongation resolution!,” which
were defeated In the Uon«e on yesterday,
the threat is made by some parties, that if
they do not so vote the prolongatlonUts
will move to adjourn tine die.
Remember, conspirkors, you are watch
ed! Members having pet schemes, who arc
honest, cannot be frightened by threats
openly made on the public streets.
0T As American cittzcns we extend the
right hand of fellowship to those twelve
Republicans in the House of Representa
tives who voted against prolongation yes
torday. However much we may differ
from Republicans us to how we shall vote
. and wliat we shall vote for. wo can greet
such men as these as American, citizens,
and make charitable allowance for dlffer-
cncea of opinion. But they who say by a
solemn vote that we shall not exercise the
elective franchise guaranteed by the con
stitution occupy a very different relation
to the freemen of this country.
The Opera House.
The communication of “Observer,” dis
cussing the question of the purchase of
the Opera House, which appears in this
issue, was admitted in obedience to the
policy of this journal to give those, who
may differ from its conductors upon a
question of as great local interest as
tills, an opportunity to be heard. Tux
CossTrruTjos’s position on this question
lias heretofore been defined on more oc
casions than one. Its advocacy of the
purchase of the Opera House on fair terms
as to price and mode of payment dates
back to February, I860. We. sec no reason
now to dissent from the opinion then
formed. The settlement of tills vexed
question is now in the hands of a commit
tee of the Legislature, and lias been acted
on by tbe Council. As matters of equal
moment are now pressing on our columns,
we decline, at present, to add to what lias
already been said on the subject.
Letter of the Hon. Amos. T. Akcr-
* man.
Wo publish this morning the full text of
the letter of the Hon. Amos. T. Akerman,
every word of which we hope all who read
It will ponder well. Its contents are ol no
little moment. In many respects they are
significant of dangers ahead irom political
man traps and triggers stealthily set by an
adroit and cunning partisan, whose attain
ments as a lawyer and experience as a par
ty leader must not be underrated, if the
Democrats and Conservatives of Georgia
wouftl succeed in overthrowing the present
regime at tho next election.
Mr. Akerman in his letter vindicates bis
reputation as a good lawyer, while his ut
terances abate not one jot ortittlo Irom bis
well earned fame as an able, cunning and
unscrupulous partisan leader. His legal
argument is complete, exhaustive, and to
every honest man who reads it, convinc
ing. No honest lawyer can dissent from
bis conclusion on tbe constitutional ques
tion be discusses, however ho may deny
some of the premises or find fault with his
logic.
The letter arrived at an opportune mo
ment to earn for him somewhat of credit
for the victory achieved on yesterday by
the friends of constitutional liberty over
tho prolongation conspirators.
How much honor may be due to him, let
those judge who are cognizant of tbe vari
ous steps that were taken to secure the vic
tory, after they attentively read his letter,
and consider at bow late a moment it ar
rived.
That the letter arrived in time to contri
bute a mite to the result is cheerfully con
ceded. ;But nc opine that that was a very
little mite, which the legal argument con
tained in the letter contributed to the de
feat of prolongation. Whatever it may
have contributed to the turning of the
scale in favor of constitutional right is to
be sought chiefly in the last third of his
letter, which begins with the sentence:
“You are all Republicans, and, there
fore, I will say a word to you of the party-
aspects of the matter.”
In this part of the letter the motives
that influenced the iuditing of it, and the
party programme which the writer thinks
should, in certain contingencies, be pur
sued, is plainly marked out. Every word
and sentence in it should be carefully stud
led and weighed.
From them Democrats and Conservatives
will he able to draw some suggestions
which, if they are wily and discreet, may
enable them to meet and circumvent—in
part, at least, tlic schemes of the party
Ur. Akeruiau plans fur, and to whose
fortunes he is so thoroughly wedded. Read
and study it well, we say again.

ty, Indiana, cut off the cars of twenty-three

that its own will ? I am arguing upon the
assumed ground that its action is left free
by Congress. Ttien, is it bound by the
constitution of the State ?
I am informed that some respectable per
sons sre possessed with the v.himscy that
the constitution Ins not yet been In opera
tion, because, as they say, the Government
of the State has been provisional.
IV itliout discussing ttie question, whether
the Government is now provisional or not,
or when its provisional character ceased,
or will cease, I will remind you of what
everybody knows that the constitution of
Georgia, as framed by the Convention of
18G7-C8. as ratified by the people of Geor
gia in April, 1SG8, as approved by the Con
gress of the United States in June, 1868,
has been, for all practical, legal and politi
cal purposes, the fundamental State law
ever since July, 1868. In that month
a legislative body assembled in At
lanta as the General Assembly under it,
and every member swore to support it In
that month a Judiciary was appointed, of
Judges sworn to support it; and ever since
that time those Judges have officially re-
i;ardcd it as the fundamental law of the
State, (in subordination, of course, to the
constitution, and laws, and treaties of the
United States,) have been squaring the
statutes of the State by it, and, accordingly,
as those statutes were found to be warrant
ed or unwarranted by it, have declared
them valid or invalid. The same oath to
support it has been taken by every other
official of the State, from the Governor
down to the humblest constable who exe
cutes a magistrate’s precept. In the Legis
lature, measures have been supported and
opposed on the ground of their agreement
or disagreement with that constitution, and
his Excellency the Governor has often re
fused his assent to bills passed by the Leg
islature, because he deemed them in con
flict with that constitution.
The popular belief in tbe State, has been
in harmony with this official action. There
is not a man between the 33th parallel of
north latitude and tiic State of Florida, who
has not, for tbe last two years, supposed
himself to be living under that document
as the constitution of his State. Have all
the officers and people of Georgia been la
boring for two years under a stupendous
mistake?
Concede, for tbe sake of the argument,
that the government has been provisional,
has that word any magic poison fatal to
constitutional life ? May not a provisional
government still be a constitutional gov
ernment? The only definition of a provi
sional government applicable to our case is
found in the reconstructiou'act of March
2,1867, which declares that, “until the peo
ple of said rebel States shall be by Jaw ad
mitted to representation in the Congress of
the United States, any civil government
which may exist therein shall be deemed
provisional only, and in all respects subject
to the paramount authority of tiie United
States at any time to abolish, modify, con
trol or snpersede the same.” A provision
al government is, then, one which may at
anytime be abolished,modified, controlled
or superseded by the authorityof the United
States. That paramount authority, exer-
crciaed by the national Legislature, has bad
Georgia under serious consideration for
the last two years, and has thought proper
to affect her civil government in impor
tant particulars; but it has not destroyed
her constitution. A prime reason for its
action was a departure, by the legislative
bodies of tbe State, from that very consti
tution, In the case of the colored members.
Concede, then, that Congress bas had a
right to destroy that constitution; stil! the
right has nas not been exercised, and the
constitution has stood, and still stands in
force.
Docs flic constitution require an election
next fall ? It provides that the Senators
chosen at the first election from the twen
ty-two odd districts shall only hold their
office for two years, and that the members
of tbe nouse of Representatives shall be
elected for two j cars. It provides that the
first meeting of the General Assembly shall
be within ninety days after the adjourn
ment of the convention which framed the
constitution. So that the Senators who
were to hold their office for only two y ears,

Washington, D. Cn August 8,1370.
Meters. B. P. Farrow. B. L. McWhorter,
Janies L. Dunning and others. Atlanta,
Georgia:
DkarSiks—I have received yours of the
2d, requesting my opinion on tbe question
whether an election should be held In Geor
gia next November.
It is thought by some that the
late act of Congress requires an
diction. Such, I know, was the un
derstanding of some of the wisest
members who voted for it. Other mem
bers, of great authority lathe Republican
party, insist that tbe act leaves the matter
in the bands of the General Assembly. If
the former arc right, the election should be
held, of course. If tho latter are right,tiie
election will be held, as required by the
present law of the (state, unless the Gen
eral Assembly shall change that law. Ac
cordingly the opponents of an election are
laboring for such a change.
To avoid the impropriety of declaring, in
this way, my construction of an act of Con
gress, which I may possibly be called on
to construe officially, I shall here treat the
question as if it were to be decided by the
General Assetnby without any instruction
from Congress as to the character of the
decision. As a citi/.cn of Georgia, a sharer
of her fortunes, a snficrar by her errors,
and deeply anxious for her welfare, I know
no reason why my lips should be scaled, or
my hand should be palsied by an official sta
tion, when her General Assembly is abont
to take action in a matter of extnordinaiy
moment. If I can contribute in the least to
make that action wise, I ought to do so.
You think that my views may be useful,
and therefore I respectfully submit them.
In determining npoutbat action, is the
hold their office for two years, were to be
long to a body that should assemble within
ninety days from tbe lltb day of March,
186S. The present Legislature of Georgia
did so assemble, and no other body pre
tending to be a Legislature of that State
did the same. A special ordinance of the
oonvention added to tbe first terms the
remaining fraction of the year 1868; hut
in no other way extended the terms.
Congress, last December, rectified errors
in the composition of the General Assem
bly, but in tbe main, the men who were
elected in April, 1868, as members, and wbo
were sworn as such to support that con
stitution in July, 1868, have ever since
been acting as sucli. They have passed
laws as such; chosen certain officers as
such; taxed the people as sueb; received
pay as such.
And now it Is claimed by some that these
gentlemen may, by their own act, extend
their terms for two years longer, make
laws for two years longer, tax the people
two years longer, and receive pay as mem
bers two years longer, in the aoctrino that
legislators are tbe agents of the people.
If a two years’ man, by virtue of a legisla
tive act, serves after 1870, he will not be
serving as tbe agent of tbe people, but by
virtue of an unprecedented usurpation of
his own. His commission has expired.
Let him return to the people, give an- ac
count of his stewardship, and then receive
a new commission, if they choose to give
him one.
If the government has been provisional
all tho while, by whose fault is it? If the
Legislature was improperly organized in
July, 1SG8, by whose fault was it? If an
outrage was perpetrated in September, 1868,
in excluding the colored members, if the
nation was aroused by that outrage to a
stern indignation against the power who
thus got control of tho Georgia Legislature,
by whose fault was it? If our State has
remained in an anomalous condition, if our
people have been in painful suspense and
uncertainty, if the whole country has been
offended and perplexed by the state of
things in Georgia, by whoso fault has it
been? The answer must be, “ by the fault
of the Legislature of Georgia.” And shall
that Legislature make its own errors the
excuse for prolonging its own existence?
Shall those who havo grievously offended
be specially privileged because of that very
offense? «
A small argument is sometimes made that
tlic terms ought to be extended in order to
do full justice to the colored members, who
were shut out from September, 1SCS, until
January, 1870. I call it a small argument;
for its consummate pettiness will appear
upon a slight examination. Tbe principle
wnich it would establish will demand tbe
doubling of the official term of every Leg
islative body whenever, in a case of con
tested election, a member lawfully chosen
shall be found to have been kept oot of bis
seat for a time, an occurrence at almost
every session of every Legislature^ ational
or State.
Less than thirty men was shut out of a
Legislature to which they lawfully be
longed. Thereforeone hundred and nine
ty men, in addition to the thirty, most be
allowed to make laws for the people for
two years longer than th^pple have giv
en them authority! Beflnsc the people
wore, for a season, deprivaf of the services
of about one-seventh of the men who had
been chosen to represent them, therefore
they must submit to the remaining six-
sevenths for two years longer than the au
thorized period! Because the people have
been wronged in ;one-sevcnth, they must,
therefore, be wronged for two, years in six-
sevenths! To state these propositions
plainly is enough to show their absurdity.
Whatever rights to compensation the ex
cluded members had have been satisfied by
payfor tbe period daring which theydid act
ually serve. Whatever erroneous legislation
there was during that period, could have
been corrected by the body since their re
sumption of their lawful places. So neither
justice to the excluded members, nor just-
tice to the State, requires that the Legis
lature should be kept in being two years
longer on their account. They and their
injured constituents have received all the
just reparation which tbe nature of things
allows.
Some draw an argument for prolonga
tion, from the provisions in the constitu
tion that, “the General Assembly mav
change the time of election, and the mem
bers shall hold until their successors are
elected and qualified.” That strangers to
Georgia politics should be misled by this
language is perhaps not very wonderful;
but when an intelligent Georgian uses it
for sueh a purpose, I find it hard to believe
him serious. Every sueh man mast know
that a constitution should be so construed,
if possible, that all parts or it can stand
together, and that the above provisions
were not■intendul as a repeal of the oilier
and four years. He must know that tlic
first of the above provisions was intended
merely to give tbe Ligizlature a discretion
to change tbe day of election, if anothtr
day should be found more convenient, but
never so to change it as* to affect the con
stitutional terms, and that the other was
intended to give the eld members a right
to sit. if a session should be held in the in
terval between the election and tbe time
fixed for the assembling of the new body.
You are all Republicans, and. therefore.
I will say a word to yon of the party as-
>ects of the matter. An apprehension bas
ieen expressed that we shall lose the State
if an election is held next fall. We may
better lose the State than keep it wrongful
ly. If we lose the State in a fair election,
though it may be disagreeable, yet we shall
have no right to complain. It is one of a
freeman’s privileges to vote perversely
when so minded, and if the majority choose
so to vote, the rest of us must submit for
tbe time, and trust that reflection and ex
perience will bring them in the end to
sounder politics.
I do not see how we can lose tbe State
Government wholly. In the worst possi-
Jle event half ol the Senate will remain for
two years longer, and most of that half are
Repnbiicans. A Republican Governor will
hold bis office two years longer, and can
interpose his constitutional check to per
nicious legislation.
But we shall not lose the State in a fair
election, if oar party shall be organized
with tolerable efficiency, shall put forward
suitable men for office, and shall take a
stand on no false ground, that is, no
jround that will isolate ns from the Repub
licans of the whole country. Let tbe party
be properly organized; let It be managed
in no individual interests; let it commit
itself sternly, thoroughly and boldly to an
economical administration of tbe State
government, to the cause of popular edu
cation, to an energetic administration of
the local law, to the principles of the Re
publican party of the nation without
abatement, without exception, without any
compromises with local prejudice, and we
shall not fail if the election be fair. But
will the election be fur? Here is the seri
ous rub. An unfair election is worse than
no election. I have not forgotten the atroc
ities of November, 1868. But I trust that
the Democratic phrenzy which then ex
pressed itself in one of the most homhle
pages that has ever been written in the his
tory of Georgia, has subsided. If our peo
ple have not been brought to reason, mode
ration and fairness by two years more of
reflection, two years of general prosperity,
almost two years of liberal and just na
tional administration, when will thoy come
to reason?
Let us try the experiment of trusting
them. At least, let us prepare to try it. li
the savage disposition of 1868 should re
appear in formidable strength, then there
will be a reason, which does not now exist,
for postponing tbe election. If tbe election
sbonld be held, and should be grossly un
fair, perhaps some lawful means of correct
ing the wrong may be found, either in tbe
State or out of the State. However that
may be, it does not become us to do wrong
for fear that our adversaries will do worse.
Hitherto the excess ol wrong has been im
mensely on their side. Let ns leave it there.
It is true that they will have no just
right tocompiain if the election should not
be held, and if the official terras should
bo improperly prolonged. Such a com
plaint might justly come from the Re-
mblicans, but the Democrats lie un-
er an estoppel. The Democratic party,
in September, 1868, imposed upon the peo
ple of Georgia a legislative majority which
the people had not chosen. In November,
1868, they prevented a free'election, and
made the formal voice of the State express
a falsehood. Having kept the people of the
State for several months under a Legisla
ture of different politics from that which
tbe people chose, it does not become them
to clamor if they are kept two years under
a Legislature which has not the sanction
of a popular choice for that time. Their
example would justify the Republicans in
an abuse of present power. Bat we owe
it to ourselves to disregard such depraved
examples, and to act on higher principles.
For these reasons, l think that an elec
tion should be held this year. The Legis-
ture has control, under the constitution, of
the particniar time of the election, provi
ded it shall not be so long deferred as to
extend the terms beyond the constitution
al period. I see no grave objection to a
. nement of the election until about

WALTHAM
WATCHES!
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engi
ne rs, and Expressmen, the most exacting ol
watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy ol
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all
these respects, is to decide the question as to the
real value of these time-keepers.
More than 450)000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo
ple—a proof and a guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent ol
the Company’s Works at Waltham, enable them
to produce watches at a price which renders com
petition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from 35 to 60 per cent, more lor their
watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is no other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
lat a long experience hat proved of real prat * ’
cal use. Having bad the refusal of nearly cvi
a watch-making originating in t
country or in Europe, only those were finally
