Carlton, (our able Representative in the Legislature) to bo found in this issue of our paper It is considered desirable that there should be a treneral expression of opinion on the subject-matter of that communication and a discussion of the- policy of making the changes suggested in the organism of the institution. Whether with or without cause—whether rightfully or wrongfully—still, the fact is patent to every observer that there is a want of interest in the University, if not a strong prejudice against it, bn the part of a large majority of the people of tne State. It is believed by tbosc who have taken the trouble to inquire, into the facts, that this is based upon a very prevalent idea that the college is a mere local school, and not a great State institution. We shall not stop to inquire whether there is sufficient reason to justify such conclusion. The fact exists, and it is the part of wisdom to deal with tacts as they exist. It is certainly very important to the great interests of education in our State, that the University should be popularized. Until this is done, all attempts at “ unifica tion” will prove abortive. When it is done, there will be no difficulty in securing weighed the subject as to have maintained more of consistency in his positions as re gards the University and its wants. It is just ns important that the Press should take positions upon such grave and impor tant questions, with great care, as “tint reforms should be attempted with great caution.” We cannot account for this strange shifting of position on the part of the Watchman, unless it be upou the idea that journalists, like doctors, are born to disagree. True it is,* “ that times change and men change with them,’’ but we would respect fully submit, that if our worthy contempo rary would only be a little more careful to keep his record before him, he doubtless would be more likely to maintain himself upon that line of beautiful consistency which is the strength of true journalism. £ggm^SSsMWM I S SOW RECEIVING DIRECT FROM NEW YORK • choice and (elect stock of MILLINERY AND FANCY GOODS, next March, when a new congress shall come .. a liberal endowment for the University. m, upon the Madisonian principle that mem- How can this bu dono? i s t f )C1 4 any bers shonld not control in any wav, their men I l, e tter plan than that suggested by Dr. compcnsu I n Another Resignation to Escape Justice.—Governor Ames of Mississippi, lias resigned to avoid impeachment.

Il strikes us that the selection of a Trustee, Curator or Regent from each Sen atorial District in the State, ns suggested by Dr. C., will do more to popularize the institution than any plan heretofore sug gested. All will admit that something ought to be done. Instead of our young men obtaining collegiate training in other States, the University of Georgia should not only educate all the sons of the State, but its halls should be crow ded with stu dents from neighboring States.

It is with pleasure, and we trust, with patriotic consideration, commensurate with the necessities of a speedy return of our republic to its former better days, that we endorse the able, eloquent aud forcible editor rial of the Constitutionalist, of the 29th ult., presenting the name ot Senator Thos. F. Bayard, as the man to become the stan dard bearer of the democracy in the insuing presidential campaign. We had the honor of iormiug the acquaintance of this distin guished gentleman at our late State Fair, held iD the city of Macon, and ot hearing his address upon the financial, os well as other grave and importaut political issues of the day. In both his private conversation and his public address, we were so impressed with the purity of his principles, the sounds ness ol his judgement and the high order of his statesmanship, that we were fairly won and fully persuaded that the interest of a common cjuntry could not lie better sub served by the democracy, than iu the selec tion of Senator Bayard ot Delaware, as a suitable candidate for the presidency. In our future issues we shall endeavor to come to the aid of Col. Randall, by presenting to the public additional reasons which we think, should induce the St. Louis Convention to make choice of this peerless statesman of Delaware—a man surely acceptable to the democracy North, South, East and West.

We furthermore, fail to recognize any good or justifiable grounds for a change of opinion, when the necessity for a popularizing re formation in the College is certainly as great now as when the original letter was written. If the popularization of the Col lege is til.* one great need, aud we believe that is conceded by all who have given attention to the subject, and even positively announced by Col.

We publish on our first page, a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia, . setting forth the right of the head ot u funds ly, in behalf of himself and family, to waive exemption from execution under the Hume: stead law, and give a valid mortgage on the .property in security for incurred liability. This was the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court, as delivered by Chief Justice Warner, ‘ in the case of Simmons vs. Anderson, Homesjead from Monroe. This decision makes the bill introduced by Senator McDaniel, and passed by the Gener al Assembly, durifig the session of 1875, but declaratory of the existing law as deter mined by the Supreme Court. It is on ini- ■ portant decision to the people of- Georgia, aad, together with the recent amendments S{| tq the Huiuesteud law will do ranch towards restoring that confidence and security, the lack of which has heretofore so completely stagtered the material interests ot our country. jSSMBShSHuEG lively and so earnestly in 1874, the neces sity and importance of some speedy and saving . reformation in the University, when latterly, he lias held out the idea, both directly and indircotly, that all this talk about the necessity of reformation or reorganization in the government of the College was wtihout foundation. That the College was never in a more prosper ous condition, aud that the discipline and government was never better. As to the importance of a change in the University at the time tho question was first mooted, tfrere might have been, and doubtless was, an honest difference of opinion. But if -there was need of change then, no one can successfully deny that the necessity has .gradually increased since that time, until it is now evident to the mind of every true Mend and well-wisher of the College (CoL Christy himself again shifting back to that admission,) that such reformation as will thoroughly popularizo ■ the institutin' in the hearts of onr people, is the one great and pressing necessity “The facts exist, and it is the part of wisdom to deal with facts as they exist,” and it would have been equally the part of wisdom and i prudence for Col.
