H. H. CARLTON, - Editor.
Ahskni.—Tito c<Hlor-in-oliii*f of
this Journal having lxii*n solve:oil by
Itis Excellency Governor Colquitt, as
O’.tu of ihe visitors to witness the com-
inviiveinvnt exercises of tlie North
Georgia Agricultural College, at
D.ihloitega, Ha., left this city yes
terday ami will be absent for a
week.
Elsewhere wo publish an e xtract
from the Eastman Time*, concerning
Col..T. Cooper Nisitel’s candidacy for
Clcik of the Constitutional Cmiven
tion. Col. Nisbet is too well and loo
favorably known iu Georgia to make
comment necessary from our pen.
Ilis experience in legislative matters
certainly qualities him in a high de
gree lbr the posiiion In* seeks, and
this together with the many other
qualifications which so favorably com
mend liitn 10 the members of the
Convention, doubtless makes his
chances for the Clerkship exceedingly
Halt. ring. From onr acquaintance
with Col. Nishet and our familiarity
with his capacity tor such a position,
we arc free to say, no bctte v s 1 ctijn
could be m ule.
The Constitutional Convention
which is to meet Hie second Wednes-
day in July, has a great work before
it. The vote by which the Conven
tion has been called, shows that there
is a great difference of opinion among
our |H!Ople iu regard to our uinda-
iitental law. This can hut lie re
garded as an unfortunate condition of
affairs, and would rather argue a dis
contentment if not demoralization,
which must prove detrimental to that
confidence which alone can secure
that unanimity of sentiment and ac
tion which is so essential to good
government, the happiness and pros
perity of our people. This all comes,
doubtless, of the fact that our people
of late years have been controlled
more by their prejudices ami passions
than by good judgment and sound
reasoning. This trouble has been
especially noticeable in onr legisla
tive assemblies of the past few years,
and tv'll more than likely be found
to exist in no small degree in the
Convention soon to meet. Represen
tatives or delegates fresh from the
people are greatly prone to be biased
or influenced by popular prejudices,
w hich prejudices can but prove harm
ful to the true and best interest of
their constituency. Then, the great
and important duty of avoiding this
evil ar.d arising above all prejudices,
the adoption of such an organic law
as consults only the true welfare,
happiness and prosperity of the peo
ple, urgently commends itself to the
Comention. Let the work of the
Co vention he faithfully, honestly
and wisely done, and then, whether
it he ratified or rejected by the peo
ple, it will ever stand a high testis
ittouial to the honesty and integrity
of its purpose and the rightful ac
ceptance of the high trust impose \
Now, to say nothiug of the injustice j
of delinquency in paying for your
paper, it is simply impossible for
any one to run a newspajrer under this
plan for any length of time, without
running inevitably into bankruptcy.
It is furthermore ini]ios.sihlc for any
one to issue a ru*ulab!u and accepta
ble paper without sufficient cash to
meet the, reqirements of the business.
Then, justi.e to mtr • aying sub
scribers demands that ^ali should bo
required t> > pay ; justice to our busi
ness and to our daily demands, under
the cash system which is practiced
towards us, forces us however reluc
tantly it may he, to Vary front the
golden rule, and do unto others as
others do unto us. fli conclusion,
let us add, that nothing is aiscrted
in the columns of the Georgian
more reluctantly that ^a dun to our
subscribers. It is douhthss t morc a
-ottrec of painful regret to us, than to
those to wl-oin it addresses itself.
Then, to avoid such ustTof tlie space
which might be much more pleasing*-.. .
ly and interestingly filled, just let
every one who is on the delii^pieut
list come up and settle and we give
our solemn proinisi-, that no more
such pronuncinnicntocs shall annoy
the readers of the Georgian.

the sou-in law of General Toombs,
was in liie city \e.-tonlay. We re

the sigh*, of one of his eyes. He did
not know that any thing was the mat

On that day, he went to hear BUliop

in Washington. While attempting

great disasters which have been vis

storms ami other causes during the
present year, we begin to con
clude, there must be something in
this rather singular and ancient sign
or prophecy.
“Christmas Day falls on a Monday
this year. It fell on a Monday also
in 1865, and on that occasion the
following was unearthed from, it was
stated, the llarlei.-in MSS., No. 2,252,
folio 153-4:

singularity of the case is the fact that
General Toombs’ father was affected
in the same way fi- - -- or six vears
prior to his death.
We are informed that there a
number of youths—both male and
female—in the comict force of our
State, who are scarcely more than
chi drer. That these youthful vio
lators of the law should be disused
of in the usual or pr« sent manner of
disposing of our ro sviets, is simply a
disgrace to the civilization of the
age. By all manner of means, this
disgraceful feature in the convict

* Some of those who are in arrears
with the Georgian think our recent
proiiiincianiento rather hard down
ujHiii them. Well wo canuot so re

would, if they would only look at
the matter aright. There are quite

Hotel, at Saratoga, refuses lodgings
in his hotel to Mr. Joseph Seliginiin,
a wealthy Jewish blinker, of New

New York Sun thus caustically al
ludes to the ease.
“ What an illustrious company
would have to he turned out if onr
suiium-r hotels if the Jews were not

would riave to take up Ids lodging in
a second-class house. King David,
over whose songs the whole Christian
world l agers, would not bi> allowed
by the gentleman-like clerk to enter
his sacred name on the hotel legister.
St. Paul, who laid the foundations of
v *
modern theology, was a man of an ap
pearance so poor and mean, barring
his being a Jew, that no model hotel
would think of admitting him. St.
John was so rapt i.i his visions of
heavenly scenes that the hotel cl rk
would indubitably have sent, for a po-
| live officer to carry him off if lie had
appeared at the desk seeking a suita
ble room, while the exclusive patrons
of the hotel would at once have
packed up their baggage if the idea
of his admittance i ad for a moment
been entertained. Spinoza, Neander,
Mcndelsshoii, David, Ruhenstcin, and
a host of others conspicuous in letters
and arts would have to depart atnid
the sneers of the exclusive guests.
Disraeli, the Karl of Beaconsfield, the
Prime Minister of England, could not
enter there, for he is a Jew, and bears
in bis lineaments the unmistnkeable
marks of his descent. The hotel
clerk would detect him at once, and
see the damage his presence in the
model house would, do.’’
