[cossrsroxDEccx of nm naonuur.J \ . " Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2 b, 1876. Dear Georgias:—We are this morning in the middle of a most discursive debate on the question of Convention or no Con vention. The antis are preparing a com promise. This is, at the next election for members of the General Assembly to have an expression of the popular will, by an en dorsement on the voters’ ticket, for or against the Convention. At this writing, the offer of the opponents of the Conven- Fon 1876—The Georgian and the old and trustworthy “Cultivator,” 13.50, in advance.

Wheth er this bp (roe or not, one thing is very certain, that among some jof^is warmest supporters for other and higher honors, the idea prevails that if the Governor has not arrived at this conclusion, the sooner he docs bo the hrtter for him. With great force, it is contended that it is ae.ting a bad example of greed and immodesty tor any inan to be sticking like a barnacle to the public teat Ordinarily, this gluttony in the abuse of public office excites only sharp criticism or quiet disgust But while 8TATB HEWN. ^ Neivnan has leap year parties. ^ of Aopw, b„ be.,,1 y ° U 07 W ° Uld mak ® “ 8003 A valentine fair will Vtko place on the Monfort Hall, tion does not seem to please the supporters j it may be a small matter in piping times of A Picture of Bankruptcy—(After “de ole raaratew”)—A dusky agricultural Moses perched upon the Pisgah-an heights of a cargo of’^juano,” looking into the “promis ed land” of 1876 for a bale of cotton at ten cents per pound. Our local editor, Mr. P. A. Stovall, will visit Angusta next week in the inter* ests of our paper. The business men of the above mentioned city will find it to tbeir advantage to cultivate The Geor- ! of the measure. Here, to our mind, is a slight inconsistency. The most aggressive and defiant tone has been assumed by the Conveutioniles, when they have demanded to know. “ Are you afraid to trust the people?” .It does not sound exactly and as implicitly trusting in the discretion of the dear people, to hear the friends of the Con* vention argue that it is better to act now for the public, and without any reservation say what we had better do in this matter of an appeal direct to the sovereign will. There was a mythical lake well known to the Romans, which had very shallow, clear water, resting on very deep, unsavory mud. They reduced and popularized a most sig nificant proverb from this peculiar state of things, and we, asan old politician,have often felt the force of that proverb: “ Don’t dis turb Camerina.” How easy it would be for us, if hasty Tbb pocket-book of an Atlanta merchant caught a pistol-ball a few days ago, and saved bis life. Our bookkeeper says there would have been a funeral if the shot bad been fired at a certain subscriber to The Georgian. committals and bad feeling were out of the way, to get the- right gauge for testing our arguments for or against the call of a Convention. That gauge, to our inind, would be this: Are the grievances we now suffer under the present Constitution, so mighty and unbearable that there should be no ad- • journing of redress?

A CEXTEXSIAL PICTURE. PARADISE REGAINED—ITS REALIZATION. “ In adeepvale shut in by Alpine hills from the rude world,” here let us lead thee, gentle reader, for here we find the home of the happy farmer. His residence—a cottage constructed upon the most approved principles and style of modern architecture—cheap, but comforta* ble. A kitchen and laundry conveniently arranged for the labors of the household, whilst a “ flower pit" and a well cultivated garden express volumes of appreciation and love for his “ better half." “ The busy bee” having changed its resi dence from the primitive “ gum’’ to the im proved patent ** hive,” exhibits itself as an example of industry, and gathers its winter store from “Jevery opening flower.’’ Here stands the pigeon house, aboundiug with tender “ squabs” for the breakfast table. There, the barn-yard filled with cackling hens and aristocratic Shanghais. In tbe wood lot, hard by, the operatic squealings of the swinetic band make musical 44 the early morn,” and from the broad pas- tore 44 the lowing herd” at 44 dewy eve" re spond with plaintive notes to tbe call of the dairy maid. Tbe fish pond in view, with its 44 backing waters” nearly filling the month of tbe gen*> erous spring, abounds with the finny tribe; the latter more palatable than Cincinnati bacon, and much easier to obtain. The barn and corn cribs groaning with the products of the self-sustaining farm. The stables well constructed for the pro tection of tbe mules and horses. Tbe well roofed boose for composting fertilizers. The orchard and vineyard loaded with fruitage ready for the band of tbe husbandman. In tbe far off confines of the plantation, (onr former now looks at it with a field-glass) reduced to one-fourth its former dimensions, stands tbe cotton patch—a true Botany Bay, to which these Southern upas plants have been justly banished. In its centre is seen m small-gin house and packing screw—tbe latter with its primitive arms amputated and it* lofty bead humbled. (Alas for 44 King Cotton,” its glory hath departed.) Gentle reader, dost thou like the picture ? Mr. Farmer, this is no fluey sketch, no dream of an ideal land; but, ou the contra ry, one which can be fidly realized with only a little enterprise and energy, a little brain work and a Kttle band work- If you have not the ambition to attempt its realization, then you, had better make up your mind , to 44 go Weet”—place at once, your few household goods within your dimfo mated bob-tailed bovine to tbe same, whistle has for blundering in the face of the enemy. Last Tuesday night we were treated, or rather, mal-treatcd by Mr. Toombs to one of his most characteristic speeches in favor of a Convention, and in abuse of everything on earth which was opposed. We declare, on our honor, that in manner, matter and animus, the whole performance was pitiable. Has Mr. Toovus, at his time of life, not a single friend left? one solitary sympathizer who could tell him the truth ? If he has, that despondent man will surely tell him that his public ravings no longer embitter and anger—no longer arouse—but excite only a sorrowful moralizing upon the fall of man and the wreck and ruin that one may survive in a short three s.ore years and ten. If Gen. Toombs is really respon sible, we remit him back to the tiraud Jury of the county of Wilkes. They, and not we, must deal with hi admission in his last tirade, that the Georgia Democracy carried the late elections by “ intimidation and bribery,” and that having been parti- ceps himself he knows the Imputation to be true. Of course, Seuator Morton, gushing with gratitude, will now force a pardon on our great “ unreconstructed.” We have a prospect of a protracted ses sion. Tour corre*|K>iident heard a most in fluential and active m mber of the House say, yesterday, that in uo v it would his brauch of the Legislature adjourn till our financial trouble Was fully investigated. But apart from the little breeze which sprung upon the Couvcntion debate, there has really been a very dull session thus far. There is feeling here, however, and a good deal of it among our politicians. In my experience, I have never known a Guberna torial campaign open so early and so vigor ously. It would be no misrepresentation of the facts, we think, to affirm that Speaker Hardemak has been in the field, coat off, for the last two years. Upon very many occasions he has made | rofer* of himself, and in .representing his interests, he has been most energetic striving for the prize in season and out of rfeason— principally oat. We have many good and able men in the State. Some of them have never yet been Congressmen or Speakers, and never asked to be. The gifts are few; distributees nu* raerous and uneasy. The idea se ms to be gaining ground that as long -as all cannot be served, it is about right to discuss ar.d settle claims. In candor and perfect good feeling, let it be said that this just mode of dealing with candidates has not, in the last few moons, advanced onr worthy Speaker any great ways up towards the seat of Chief Magistrate. It is just as true that this line 1 •f thought has not helped Gov. Sirtni’s claims. .Ho been Speaker—twice elected Governor, and now, though he persistently peace and while dealing with a harmless S.ate Governor, what about a third term for a President, and that President a thing like Grant? In one and the same year, the friends of Gov. Smith would have us beat Grant down and raise Smith up with the same third term pole. As you happen fo know, somehre for Gov. Smith against the field in a certain event, but as an honest man and true patriot, I am dead against him or any living man whose ex travagant self-love wonld perpetuate a hold on politicalj>ower at the expense of safe prec edent and the integrity of a true spirit of liberty. No man living is dear enough to the hearts'of Georgia patriots for this sac* rifice. No man, living or dead, ever was of consequence enough to the State or the world, that safe principles should be sur* rendered for his benefit or pride. In one term more, if by some strange vagary of public favor Gov. Smith were re-elected, every solitary officer in Georgia bolding un der Executive appointment, would be under obligations to him. In evil times and the reins in bad hands, who can fail to see the ruin of such n policy ? Why, if Gov. Smith had children and cared to establish a dynasty, here is the way to plume him for this flight. When he shall hare been thrice elected and appointed his two thousand friends and sup porters to office, then ho! for a fourth term or life tenure. Such counsellors as advise such a felo de se as this, are a delusion and a snare. The Albany Metes says that the tax pay* ers of Georgia wonld not object to Repre sentatives in the General Assembly paying one-half their per diem of one day for the relief of sufferers, provided they would dis pense with the purchasing of checks for one night. 14th in Gainesville.
