"NEWSY, SPICY, RELIABLE," The Atlanta Constitution. Vy N DER its new management, Tim atj,4 'lT A WBj Constitution has won for itself tne title oi <he leading journal of the South, its en terprise, during the recent election excitement, in sending correspondents to different portions of the country, and its ssries of special tele grams from Washington wh;te the. elector.d commission was engaged in consummating the iiHiid that placed radicalism oi.ee more' in power in out national councils, are evidences conspicuous enough to prove that no expense will be spared to make The constitution not onlv a leader in the discussion ot matters ol public concern, but a leader in the dis-emiinc tion of the latest and most reliable news. 'There is no better time than now to subscribe for A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper. Albeit, there has-been a quasi settlement of one of the most di jiieult and dangerous prob lems o: modem federal politics, the discussions springing therefrom and the results likely to ensue have lost nothing of their absorbing in terest. Jn addition to this, the people of Geor gia arc now called upon to settle The Convention Question, and in the discussion .of this important subject (in which Thk const! rtf IDS yyjlt take a lead ing part) ever\" Georgian is interested, ll a convention is called its proceedings wili find their earliest and fullest embodiment in the columns of The constitution, and this fact alone wili make the paper indispensable to ev ery citizen of the fetate. To be brief, The Atlanta Daily Constitution will endeavor, bv all the means that the prog ress of modern journalism has made possible and necessary to hold its place a- a leader ot Southern opinion and as a purveyor of the la test news. Its editorials will be thoughtlul, timelv and vigorous—calm and a: gumeutative in their methods and thoroughly Southern aud 1 Democratic in liiejr sentiments. Its r.ews will be fresh, reliable and pjjfeluUy digested. It will be alert and enterprising, aud ftp expense will be spared to make it the medium ot m>P latest and most important intelligence, lie Weekly Constitution.

To the Editor of The Express: Bv the recent brilliant commence ment, President Cox has proven to the woild that the Southern Female College is the grandest old institu tion for the thorough education of daughters, in the South. Adding more to the already un sullied reputation and bringing to light the genuine character of the college, the commencement was the grandest given in many years. A perfect success ! Like some great machine put up by the most skillful workmen and rolling as to bs every wheel in nice harmony, it passed oft without a single perceivable mistake, thereby extorting wonder and ad mit alion from visitor and raHlent. So great was its effect upon the ; minds of the fathers of our town that they voluntar.ly and almost “with one accord*’have raised enough j money to erect a larger chapel or at least one which three times as large as the old would he mere nearly suf- 1 flcient for seating the immense nuin-1 her of people who usually flock to the commencement exercises of this college. We would like very much to go j into the minute parts of the exer cises, for they were sufficient of themselves to have formed an exceed ingly good show, but, the shortness of hur time allows us to touch the cardinal features only. On Sunday morning, June Pith, the Baptist church was filled to hear the opening sermon by Rev. J. If. Hall, ot New nan. His text: “His name shall be called wonderful,” was handled in a very beautiful, analytical and effect ual manner. On Monday the exer-; cases of the junior class (and a more shining arch of junior and beauty and accomplishment was never seen) took place. The reading was clear, ladylike and pleasing. The annual address was made by the lion. A. 11. Cox. It was short, but very spicy. On Monday night the pleasant little operatta, “Fortune’s Caprices, was j played. The characters were well sustained. On Tuesday we re-assembled to witness the Cionian j celebration, The recitations were | exquisitely rendered. A picture, of Clio “from whose lips the sweet stream of history and tradition flows” and after whom the Society i named, was pesented to the Clios by Miss Fitgerald, of Stewart county. This picture drawn by the donor is one ot remarkable finish. Then came the address of Juo. A, Me.- Whorter, of Greenesboro. His was a masterly piece of oratorical advice. Oi) Tuesday night the hall was crowded to hear the grand concert. Indeed, in truth it was grand ! An epistolary pescription of it is impos slide. It pfpved and proves beyond a doubt that the Misses Uox, mkqj tresses of the musical department, cannot be surpassed in the art of teaching music. The prpgfaftifpg verifies the assertion. Oil Wed tics 4sy morning eleven Graces, remark able for advance during their colle giate life, were, on the withdrawal of flip curtain, arched in beauty before our eyes. Their compositions and the reading of them were superb, Never before had a more intelligent class issued from those walls to grace society with excellence. Trained by such experienced and good teachers, how could they fall short ot excellence ? Their diplomas being awarded by the one under whose protecting care they had been lead to the period of educational thoroughness and who was sad to see them leave but proud to see them done, the annual address was made by the Hon. liobt. M. Ely, of Atlan ta. His remarks were fraught with sound instruction The levee at night—you know what a levee is--- closed a commencement which will be fresh in the memory uf LaGrange ygars from now. Long live the Southern Female College! Long may she flourish ! Her portals have been opened for the receipt of South ern daughters as long as any institu tion in the land and from the success which has attended her, they will hr thrown open until the popular decis ion shall be: “She is the fairest Alma Mute? in '‘the South.” Sa R. " THE CONVENTION. In Session tit tiie Cj>4J, Aflapta, Ga., c. J. Jenkins, President, SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Thursday, July 12th, 9 a. m. MORNING SESSION. At tn&f a. vf. president Jenkins called the convention t‘p prtiet : The president, f ha ye no Jopht that it will be the pressure of Mbs convention to appoint a chaplain to oben the meetings with prayer. I have no doubt that in the hurry of yesterday was overlooked, and in anttcipfldipft oi that this morning I request Rev. Mr JJuncan to opep the convention with prayer. The roll of members were called and the journal of yesterday read and approved. Leave of absence gmpt.ed, Messrs. McCriminon, pent On, and ganford on account of sickness. A naptjop was made by Mr Gar treil to appoint a phaplajp tp open the sessions with prayeV. Many substitutes for MrGartreU’s raotiou* CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 19,1877. were offered and which after much | debate were tabled. Mr. Hamilton, of Floyd, offered a •'resolution that the State printer do i the printing of the convention upon | the 84iine terms as he does the State printing. Mr Seward. I move to postpone the consideration of that resolution i until nexl Wednesday. The motion was put to the house and was agreed to. The re5e11...v,.. .as therefore jnist poned, Mr Hamilton, of Floyd, offered a resolution that the messenger appoint three pages, with compensation of one and a half dollars per day, each. Mr. Russell, of C'hatnam, offered a substitute that it has be< n the tiuiy of the secretary to appoint pa_es, and that he be authorized to appoint them. Mr Hamilton, of Floyd. That cannot be a substitute for my resolu tion. Mr Russell, of Chatham. I with draw it for the present. ilie president. Do I understand that Mr Russell withdraws his reso lution ? Mr Russell, of Chatham. Yes, sir. Mr Cooper offered a resolution that : the doorkeeper employ two servants j at seventy-five cents per day ea:-h, ; and that the messenger employ two ; pages at one dollar per day each. The president. The question is \ upon the substitute, [of Mr Cooper], whether you will receive it. '1 he question upon the reception of the substitute was put to the house and agreed to. The substitute was therefore re ceived. The president. Upon that vote the house agrees to receive it, and now the question is upon its aduptior . The question was put to the house and the substitute was adopted. A VICE PRESIDENT. Mr Hunt offered a resolution that the convention proceed at once to elect a president pro tempore , or vice president. Mr Harrell. I move to lay that resolution on the table for the pres ent, for the purpose of making a re port from the committee appointed yesterday, to report rules for the government of the convention. 1 hope the gentleman will withdraw his resolution until that report is made. Ti.e president. Is the resolution withdrawn ? There was no response, and tlie resolution was put to a vote of the house and agreed to. Mr. Davis, of Dougherty- I move that Hon A R Lawton, of the coun ty of Chatham, he declared vice president of this convention, by ac clamation. The motion was seconded, put to the house and unanimously agreed to, amid applause, RULES FOli TIIE CONVENTION. Mr. Wellborn called up the report of the committee on rules, which report, with the rules, was read, arid after slight amendment, adopted. Three hundred copies of the rules were ordered printed for the use of the members, Mr. Colder offered a preamble and resolutions for the reduction of the membership of the General Assem bly; which was read and referred to committee on legislation, when ap pointed. The chaplain matter was again brought up by a resolution offered by Mr. Pierce, this was the signal fop another debating skirmish, wfiiph was indulged in principally by Messrs. Pierce and Hill. A compro mise was effected by the passage of the following resolution by Mr. Tug gle. ivesftlm], y/f.ereaSj there are several ministers of the gospel who are members of the convention they he requested to open the con vention each morning with prayer. After this matter was disposed of president pallpcl vice-presi dent Lawton 'to the chair and tpe latter assumed gave), Mr. Reese, VYilkes, offered the folio\vif,g fpsqjuitun. Resolved by this convention, That a committee of three be ap pointed by the president thereof to announce to his excellency, the Gov enor of this State, Rad the constitu tional convention, called in pursu ance of the iaw is duly organized and iu session and wi 11 respectfully receive any pojmnunpiatiou which he may deem it necessary to make to it connected with the objects ot the convention. Mr, Seward. I move to lay that upon the table. I have Ihe very highest respect for the Governor, hut 1 object to his invading this con vention and givingany of his views. I prefer to leave him in his chamber to attend to his duties and let us at tend to burs, give the peqplp a constitution and go home. [Ap plause.] Mr Harrell. I hope the resolution will pass, for this reason—as a mark of respect to . Mr. Hunt. I Qljept and raise the point that the motion is not debata ble. The vice-president. The point of order js WOd taken, Mr. Seward, l withdraw il, if we have nothing else to do but to let gentlemen talk. [Laughter.] Mr. Harrell. I said it would not only be a mark of respect to the Chief Executive, but he may have information vyhiph it may be nec essary for the convention ao obtain, j He knows more about the finances ; of the State, probably, than any one , else and as we are here to inaugurate j reforms and seek economy, it was ' for [fiat purpose that I favor the reso lution. Mr. President Jenkins. 1 can say with all sincerity, as my friend to the left has said, that I have the most perfect and cordial respect for his ex cellency, the Governor, but it seems to* me‘that thji? nctifjeiUion to the Governor that we ha ye asgembjetj and are ready to receive any cpm munication he may haye to make, is Ofit of order. Tiie Governor as Gov ernor of Georgia, has nothing to (Jo with this movement of the people, after the assembling of the conven tion '[applause] ; no more than the members of the j ud ieial departmen t— not one whit. As the executive officer of ihe State, he was directed by an a.Ct of the L‘gjc4>tijrp to per form certain qutje.4. Ihe retqrns of , the ejection were to be made to him and he way directed toannpunpe wjio j were elected and on certain clay the convention would assemble. All these things have been done, and when they were done, the Gover nor's .duty ;n relation to this matter was fujiy performed. I think it is important in matters of this sort to avoir! all bad prece dents, This, sir, is a convention of; the people of Georgia, an(j the only) reason why tney aYe not all here is j that, while it'is im|)ossihle, it would be inconvenient for the purpose of j making a constitution, hut their del egates are here, 1 and the moment i (they organize they have no sort of ’connection or communication with the different departments of govern ment now organized under the exist ing constitution—none at all. If this convention should desire any infor mation which is in the executive de partment, during its deliberations it would be perfectly proper for them lo caLl upon the Governor and ask him to communicate it to them ; and 1 there is no more reason, for their | purposes, why they should conomu i nicate with the executive than with ! (he judicial department. I think it would he a had prece | dent. If you establish it, what would he the consequence? You I will have upon the assembling ol your conventions a message from the | executive department to ‘he deie | gate? of the people —or, to the people | iu convention assembled—to instruct them in what they should do. I think the precedent would he a had one ifnd 1 hope the resolution wili not pass. Mr Seward. The motion to lay on the table is renewed. The motion wits put to the house and agreed to. The resolution was therefore laid upon tle table. Mr. Davis, ot Dougherty, offered a resolution, as follows: Resolved, that the messenger he directed to furnish seats arid desks on the floor of tiie had to ail editors and reporters of the public press. The question was put to the house upon this resolution and the reso lution was adopted. A motion to appoint two side door keepers and three pages for the con venience of the convention was tabled after a little discussion. The subject of the per diem pay of the nu mbers was then brought up ami after a lengthy discussion was laid on the table until Monday. The hours for the daily sessions were fixed at from 8:30 A, M. to 1 p, M. Mr. Cooper offered the following resolution: Resolved, That, (he doorkeeper be required to remove the biaze doors at the several entrances, to the hall of representatives and place lattice doors at entrances of the halls, to prevent improper ingress and egress. Mr. Wallace. I move to amend the latter ciase by saying “if found necessary.” The vice-president. Your proper motion will he to divide the ques tion. Mr. Wallace. No sir; I mean only i to add the words “if found necess- i ary.”l Mr. Cooper. The amendment; offered by the gentleman from Tay lor. (Mr. Wallace,) is accepted. Thd vice-president. You are will ing to add “if found necessary.” Mr, Cooper. Yes sir. The resolution was put to the house and agreed: Mr. Rass introduced an ordinance relating to the legialatve department which was read and referred, under the rules, to the committee on legis lation when appointed. During the reading of the ordi nance the following occurred: Mr. Hunt. | uiuve to refer tfie of didanpe by hjs’jittlp lb its appropri ate committees. Mr, Bass. Tiie rule requires it to he read. If member# cannot make known their views here in tills man ner how is the convention to know what views are being brought for ward. Ido not think you can pre vent this; Mr. Harrell. I think that tlio pop yentiou j' t a§ quopieu a rule upon this subject and to get at the subject which the gentleman desires to ac complish would require a suspension of the rules by a two thirds vote. I make the point that the gentleman out of order, The vice president, The point is well takem. It requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules. Mr, Hill. I hope that the rule will not be suspended and the reading will be had. The motion to suspend the rule vyas tjien porppleted. reference ordinances, Mr, UammQßdj of Monroe, offered the following re,solution ; Resolved, That all ordinances hav ing reference to the constitution be referred to the appropriate commit tees without reading, and that the rqjes he suspended fur that purpose, j Tabled. Mr Trammell offered the following resolution : Resolved, That all ordi nances and resolutions read and re ferred to appropriate eommUfeej un der the rule of the convention shall not constitute any part of the journal of the proceeding of the convention. This resolution was intoned into by several of the delegates and quite a lengthy debate ensued. It was final ly agreed to refer it to the committee on Printing. A resolution offering seats op the floor to visiting members of’congress j was passed. Convention then adjourned to Fri day 8:30 A. M. third day’s proceedings. Friday morning, Jnly jflth, fIA. Iff. The convention was called to or der by Mr president Jenkins, pursu ant to adjournment, Rrayer was offered by Rev. Mr, Tharpe, delegate from the twenty third district. The President. I take this occa sion to request that the reverend gen tlemen of the convention, who have consented to open the convention with piayor, wili utrange the matter among themselves, and that the one whose turn it is to open each day will be kind enough to he on ray right at the meeting of the convention. There are being printed proper JUfIS of tJ]p ijjenjberg which nmke it much easier to cuil their names, but they are not ready ytt, and as it is manilest that there is a quorum pres est, the reading of the journal will next he in order. The journal of yesterday was read, corrected and approved, Mr. VYright ’tffoved Jo reconsider so much of the journal of yesterday as rpjates tq chaplain and supported Ate motion with an able speech of some length. lie was replied to by Mr Hill, of Morgan. Other members participated in the debate. The mo tion to reconsider, was lost. THE CAPITAL. ifr Ingram qffvfeff thp following resolution: . Resolved, That the pommitlee on Jopation of capital he instructed tQ report to pon yeptton, as q pact or the constitution the following: “The legislature shall have power to provide, by law, for the permanent location of ihe capital: provided inch iaw shah cecefye two-thirds pf the votes cast ’in qaep branch of thq general assembly ; provided further, that either MiHedgeyiJle, Macon or Atlanta shall be seieptpff as thp place. ' provided further, thijf no §ueh act of ! tffe general assenfhly qhall he bind ing, providing for such location pf the capital, unless ratified by a ma jority of all the votes cast at a special election to he held for that purpose. Mr. Seward. I live in a large town and I move to insert the word Thomasville, after the word Macon, |in that resolution. [Laughter.] The President. 1 believe there is no second to that motion. Mr Seward. Yes, sir; there are two. [Renewed laughter.] Mr. Barron. I move to lay it upon the table. Mr. Seward. I second it—for the whole matter. Mr Pierce. During the absence of the president from the chair yester day, I understand that a rule was adopted that all resolutions go to their appropriate committee without debate, and without amendment, of course. The president. There is no com mittee on capital; if so, it was not provided for in the general resolu tion. Mr Ingram. I move that it go to the judiciary committee. The rule is to refer to an appropriate commit tee, and 1 move that it go to the committee. The president. The thirteenth rule reads as follows: “Every ordi nance, upon being introduced and read, shall be referred to iu appro priate committee without debate.” That is a standing rule of the house, aud I would he at a loss to determine which would be the ap propriate committee to which this resolution should go. Mr Ingram. To the judiciary. Mr Mathews. It seems iff the ab sence of any mention in the commit tees of the capital, this would most appropriately go to the committee on miscellaneous provisions. The president. It seems so to me. I If it comes within the rule it would he referred. If It does not 1 should consider the question to he on the motion to lay upon the table. With the impression that the chair lias it will direct the reference of the reso lution to the committee on miscella neous provisions. I would announce that the proper course is for gentle men to rise and announce that-he has a resolution to offer; it thou takes its place as he names it. As it is now the matters get confused on the sec retary’s desk. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES.
