W* publish this week (he re mainder of (he Le/rislalive and Ihe Exerntive departments. Ev ery, Bill appropriating: money will require the yeas and nays of each floqse (o bo recorded, and an ac count of Die receipt and expendi ture of all pqblic money shall be published every three months, that the people may know “where T6ny hid the wedge." A committee will be appointed, one from each Congressional Dis- to examine into the merits of orcry Bill sought to be passed, and see whether or not, there ia any “gum’' in it; and every Bill sought to be passed, must be pre sented within fifteen days after the body convenes; and no local or special Bill will be received nnlesS' it has been published in the locality that is to he affected thereby at least thirty days prior to the meeting of the General Assembly; and a considerable portion of )he local business is transferred to the courts, where it will cost but a trifle to be acted upou. We think the above are excellent provisions, and a marked improvement, on the present Con stitution. The oniiro expanses of the cler ical force in the Houho shall not exceed seventy dollars per day; and in the Senate, sixty dollars per day. Tins feature, alone, will save its thousands annually. We will venture the assertion, that the biennial sessions and the great reduction in the clerical coat, together, will save to noble old Georgia twenty-five thousand dollars annually. In fact, the en tire oaunal saving to the poople of this State in the Legislative depttf nstenjt and its various auxil iaries, and incidentals will not fall pouch short of one hundred aad fifty thousand,dollars. And when tho people know these facts, yon had jnat as woU “sing psalms to a 4#a4 horse!’.as to try to pre venVlhuni from ratifying the new Constitution. The common peo pie—rkhe substantial yeooianry of the geufttry are tho true guar safest, tfHftr&ftltf of Ihl Hu uncial interests of the country. We did not think that tho salaries of the officers .connected with the Exec utive department were too much, but the Convention did, and the people will sustain them; and as Bob Toombs says, if they don’t like it, piey can just “pour it back in tho jug.’’ Wo don't think that any qf them will pour back into the We never have had to draft men to hold office in this State, yet, and we never shall. The JJjMjculive department in the main is an improvement upon the Constitution, TB|B KLLUAY COURI]SR was aevei-ftfa more prosperous condi tion than now. We took charge of it 'ip panic times and have passed through the dall Summer, without even dunning oar sub scribed*. Wo reduced the terms to meht, the hard times, and have built the healthiest and most sub stantial circulation that THE COURIER has ever had since its existence. We are now publish ing the Constitution in full, which to the, public' is of great value. In a few days THE COURIER will be enlarged 1o a seven col umn paper, and it will give you more reading matter than it ever has. ,Our people should not fail to appreciate the importance of sustaining this home enterprise. It is substantially the people's or gan. tt will represent the inter ests and wants of north Georgia generally. Its local and editorial columns will be replete with just such matter as our people need and want No pains wil be spared to make it the best advertising medium m all this section. THE COURIER has a bright future, aud will be able to stand the pressure of the times and grow and flourish. It is the only paper in the 48?*. Senatorial district. the cossrmmoN.-1877.
