WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY fl, 1876.
Constitutional Convention.
One would naturally suppose that some
scarcity of money, with a probability of
more next year, or some vague impending
evil which will have passed away by that
time, influenced our Representatives to put
off until January, 1877, the calling ot a con
vention of the people for the purpose of
making a new Constitution. It is to be
hoped the Senate will not vote for that bill.
We want a convention now. All admit the
necessity; why delay ? It is true th? Rad
ical howl in Atlanta looks fearful in its ap
peal to the people. But we are willing to
risk the people. It is the people who want
a Constitution made by themselves and for
themselves; and in this glorious Centennial
year is the time to have it. “But it will af
fect our chances in the next Presidential
- election to hold a convention.” Ah, there’s
the rub. Some men will argue thus at the
North: “Those people down in Georgia
Jiave shown their hand, all for a conven
tion.” (To do what ? They will guess for
the worst.) “But they did not have the
nerve to hold it now; they want to wail till
jitter the elect ion,” etc. Let us be men
‘worthy of Georgia, nnd meet the issue now,
and show the people up North that that we
never had an idea of changing the status of
the negro, nor of attempting to make a Con
stitution that would be in violation of the
"Constitution of the United States. It has
cost the people more money to hire legis-
Liters to nibble at it, by suggesting amend
ments first and last, thin a convention will
coal, and the nibbling will never end until
the people end it D.
• What Shall be Pone with the Convicts?
_, Tbis is one of the many pressing ques
tions now before the Legislature. llow
. ought it to be solved ?
, Put them only on public work*. The farm
ing out of convicts to individuals, or put
. -ling than on private enterprises for hire or
|oherwi«e, is wrong. The treatment inci
dent to this mode of disposing of them, in
many if not in all ca«es, is a duplication of
thidr punishment. It is demoralizing to
them, as well as to those who, for money,
ImzirdS the enterprise where money is the
motive power. Justice and mercy drive
not the chariot wheels.
‘ Convict* ought to be cla»*eil. The working
of white men and black men together,
linked by chains, eating and sleeping to
gether aide by side, —all mixed up in socisl
disorder, —is nothing less than a shame. It
is degrading. You may say they are com
panions in crime, aud all that; but this
does not make them equal What God has
made unequal no man can make equal.
The only place in the South where the very
quintessence of the Civil Rights bill is seen
• and enforced is with these unfortunate men.
We would not disparage the negro; we
only contend for the supremacy of the
white man. This would ald to their effi
ciency. The mind has much to do with
the body-—much to do with physical effort.
Degrade a man by his surroundings, by his
. associations, where he has no power to
help himself—in a word, break down the
mental man, and you have but a dull au
tomaton left. Show these men that you
regard them by classing them according to
color, and a new and brighter hope will
spring up, and they w ill learn to love the
State that so carefully guards their health
nnd morals, and so icluctantly punishes
them for their crimes. Let them know—
white and black—that they are men yet,
and that they mny make good and useful
citizens, notwithstanding the calamity that
has befallen them.

Uhvu this lk«ws«r.<.d was fut ju our
Constitution, and the Legislature macle it
effective, men fled to it by the thousands for
refttge from tlreir just liabilities; but that
Gibraltar of justice, the Supreme Court of
the United States, said iu no doubtful lan
guage, “You can not hide your property
thus from your creditors.” These p< ople
had spent their money to gain admittance
into the urk, and found it to be a refuge of
lies, as they will always find it; and, after
all their expenditure, had to pay their old
debts. That decision becometh the law .
virtually, and that Homestead a cheat and a '
swindle: for who wants a Homestead, w’ho
is out of debt? Now, like the man who,
out of pity, warmed the frozen serpent, they
felt the bite and sold out of this tangled
web; but, (horrible to relate!) the Supreme
Court of Georgia tells them, in thunder
tones re embling an earthquake shock:
“You can not sell that Homestea 1; it was
put in the Constitution to make you stay
in and love Georgia”—thus revoking the
Divine law of moral agency. And your
Homestead can not pas*. Instead of you
taking a Homestead, as it is called, it has
taken you. But, cries the advocate of
Homesteads, “it is for the protccti >n of
women and children.” It is? The writer
knows of no better protection to women
and children than an honest husband and
father. Protection to women and children!
Why, the Supreme Court has very recently
decided that a woman who has a husband,
can not take the Homestead if he object.
For the benefit of your readers, the writer
requests that the decision last referred to
Ire published with his letter. The people
will learn from a full examination of the
subject, that our consti'utional Homestead
has been and will be a cheat and a swindle.
Judge Jackson delivered the following de- I
chion in a case coming up on appeal from
Jones county:
1. The system of homestead an 1 exemp
tion provided for by the constitution is vol- |
untury, not compulsory; and the laws en
acted for the setting apart and valuation j
thereof should be so construed as to har
monize with the voluntary character of the
constitutional system.
2. Th< refore Section 2022 of the Code,
which enacts that “should the husband re
fuse to apply for the aforesaid exemptions,
bis wife, or any person acting as her next
friend, may do the «ame, and it shall be as
binding as if done by the husband.” should
not be construed to mean that if the hus
band not only refuse to apply hisiselt for
homestead, but solemnly object on record
as a party defendant to bit wife’s doing so, i
that then the application shall lie granted I
and the homestead carved out of his origi-.
nal property over the objections so made
by him. . I
3. No man’s property can be set aside as :
homestead a d exemption without his con- ,
sent, expressed or implied; if his wife, or ;
•some one as her next friend, apply and he I
fails to int» rpose objection by plea, the pre
sumption is rebutted, and the homes’ead
can be set apart out of his property. The
distinction is clear between his refusal to
app’y himself, and Iris objecting to another
applying in behalf of his family: and the
statute will be coastru d to mean that
though he refuse to act, his wife’s app ica
ti >n will be granted unless he object by
pica ; then it will be refused.

A vacancy now exists in the Military
Academy at West Foint, for our district,

The bill calling a conventi »n has pao>>ed
the Hous?, and will become n law provided

•It makes it shsol-tr. I do think that a
j question of such magnitude should be left

, fixed fact, aud while it may meet the wishes
of men in various sections, I think with due
rcsp et to those that entertain diff rent
j views on tl is subject that Tigv. L«**l, Muse

i Five hundred and sixtv five bills had

all of a local character, bad been passed ;
twenty lost, elexen tabled, nine withdrawn,
two reconsidered, and one indefinitely post

laws, we will give a synopsis of all the
acts interesting to or affecting this section.

Fare ti e- well, our voting, st, t.iires’.—
Dear little Bobbie, fire the will!
He who lent thee has recnlh-d thee
Back with him and his to dwell.
Fifteen moons their silver light
Only o’er thy brow had shed,
When thy spirit joined the seraphs
And thy body joined the dead.
Like a sunb-atn through our dwelling
Shone thy presence bright and calm ;
Thou didst add a feast of pleasure—
To our sorrows, Inaling balm.
Brighter beamed thy eye than summer,
And thy first attempt at speech
Thrilled our heart-strings with a rapture
All the muses could not teach.
Yet, while thinking of our lost one,
Oh, how dear he was to us !
Whvshould drenmsof doubt and darkness
Haunt our troubled spirits thus?
Whv across the cold dim church-yard
Flit our visions of dispair ?
Although we see the grave so lonely,
Yet our .Bobbie is not there.
Lo, in Heaven with the angels,
With all the sinless children blest’
Who have h* aid the "Come unto me,”
Our little Bobbie is at rest.
