THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF ALABAMA.
We learn that the new Constitution of the
Mate of Alabama was ratified by not less
than 60,000 majority.
The Atlanta Constitution, in commenting.
Bays : “It was a glorious victory. The in
strument itself is an admirable one, protect
ing, as it docs, the rights of all, and cutting
off every unnecessary expense of govern
ment.” With this comment, we agree to a
great extent, for this new Constitution is a
vast improvement on the old one. We hope
at some future day to review it critically, es
pecially if the people of our own State should
decide to change their fundamental law.
We think the new instrument has some
grave defects, but it is sufficient now to sug
gest only these : that it provides for too many
elections; especially, that it makes the Ju
dicial officers elective; that it subordinates
the two other co-ordinate branches of the gov
eminent to the legislative; that the whole
instrument is too full of old-fashioned Fed
eralism ; it says, “ The fact is established,
that from the Federal Union there can be no
secession of any State” ; and also this, as it
Beems to us, serious defect, “ that the law
shall make no educational or property quali
fication /or suffrage or office,'' —(Does this
mean that a man may be elected Governor or
Judge who cannot even read or write ?): and
lastly, we think, amendments to this funda
mental'law can-be made too easily.
Notwithstanding these, and other minor
defects, the instrument is one of great merit,
and it was strongly advocated by leading Re
publicans, as well as, Democrats. The ques
tion naturally arises, why this immense ma
jority in favor of, apparently, a party move
ment, and that a party of doubtful majority ?
It must contain some principles which met
with a response from the great heart of the
people. What were those grand measures ?
They are, evidently, the provisions against
corruption and extravagance. The people
have been taxed and swindled, since the war,
by our government and officials, until they
are ready to adopt any measures that will
stay the hand of robbery. Democrats have
cried out against the corruption of Radicals
until the latter have become odious to the
public heart, and have been driven from al
most all of the offices of the Southern States,
and Democrats have been put in their places ;
yet the expenses of government have been
little reduced, and taxes are almost as oner
ous as ever. It is charged that new “rings”
take the places of broken ones; the barter
and sale in office seems still to go on, and
though we abuse our State Constitutions,
which were made by Radicals, for their cor
rupt provisions, yet our politicians seem ex
tremely eager to accept offices under them,
and enjoy all the salaries and emoluments
thereunto attached; and though the Demo
cratic party rules in almost ever}' Southern
State, still those States are not redeemed, and
the .people still groan under their heavy
burdens and oppressions.
What does this 60,000 majority mean ? It
means that the people are recognizing the
ahove facts, and the additional fact, that all
parties, when in power, will be extravagant,
unless restrained by fundamental law. It
means, too, that the people are tired of econ
omizing, as the politicians tell them they
must do, while those in power enjoy all the
luxuries and abundance of former prosperous
days. The people know they must economize.
The ruins of a long war, the scanty larders,
their bare, bleak homes, the hard-earned pit
tance decimated by taxation, and the care
worn faces around them, every day plead for
economy.
The people are trying to retrench their ex
penses, and they wish the politicians to do
likewise. The 60,000 majority in Alabama
does not mean that the people of that State
are tired simply of a Yankee Constitution,
but it says to the politician, in a manner not
to be mistaken, that you must economize as
well as the people.
So say the masses all over the South, and
even in Georgia, which is probably the most
prosperous, many are clamorous for a Con
stitutional Convention, to reduce the number
of offices and diminish the expenses of gov
ernment, by restricting the powers and privi
leges of those who shall administer affairs.
We know that it is urged that this would
be an unfavorable time for such a Conven
tion, when we are just on the eve of a Presi
dential election. We know that it might com
plicate the issues in that contest, and might
furnish the Radicals with some arguments
against the Democratic party; yet, we are
almost persuaded, in face of * all danger, to
favor such a movement.
We hate oppression from whatever party
it may come, and we hate it more in friend
than in foe. We have loved the Democratic
party with a hopeful, confiding love ; but we
are not willing to submit to oppression, that
it may succeed. Indeed, we are not sure,
when looking back over the corruption of all
these old parties, but that the people would
do well to sweep them all out of the country,
and establish new ones on purer principles
of honesty and economy. lias the old Dem
ocratic party a record pure enough to be re
established in the hearts of the people ? Has
any party after having been dethroned so long
as this , ever been recrowned? What savs
History for the past ? and what hopes do the
late elections give us for the future ? These
are great questions. The people are tired of
strife and corruption, and we think, they
would unite in any new party which seeks
only peace, self-government and, above all.
honesty and economy. The ratification of
the Alabama Constitution by 60,000, seems
to point that way.

For the Forest News.
Tpp to Southwestern Georgia.
Jefferson. Ga., Nov. 23<1, 1875.
Mr. Editor: —Thinking that a narrative
of a trip to Southwestern Georgia may not be
uninteresting to the readers of the News, I
place it at your disposal.
Leaving Athens on Tuesday, in company
with the Rev. C. W. Lane, on the “Lightning
Express,” which gave that excellent man
ample opportunity for making pastoral call 9
along the line of travel, we reached Union
Point, and thence along the main trunk of
the Georgia Railroad to Cara&k, without meet
ing with any incident worthy of note. After
leaving the latter place for Macon, we met
Dr. T. O. Powell, first Assistant Physician at
the Asylum for the Insane, who had been
North for the purpose of visiting similar in
stitutions in some of the older States. He
gave an interesting account of the manner in
which the inmates are treated by furnishing
them with employment and amusement, which,
in a measure, contributes to their support and,
at the same time, diverts their minds from
the particular hallucination which holds them
in its relentless grasp. Thus, many are re
stored to sanity, and become useful citizens.
But this requires means. Would that our
wise legislators could be induced to place an
adequate sum of money at the disposal of the
proper authorities for this laudable object.
Further on we passed “Sunshine.” the
home of Bishop G. F. Pierce, and we were
immediately carried back to the time when a
school-boy at old Emory, our eager ears drank
in the melody of his impassioned eloquence.
And thus a long stream of happy College
memories came flowing in upon me. While
thus musing, I was aroused by the familiar
face of an old class-mate, whom I had not
seen for eight years. Very singularly, he
showed me a paper signed by a former citi
zen of this county, now the Sheriff of Rock
dale, which stated that there formerly lived
in Jackson county three old ladies—sisters
—who had conjointly raised fifty-six children
viz: Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Williamson each
eighteen, and Mrs. Arnold twenty. This I
have always heard to be true, though I can't
vouch for its accuracy.
After passing Sparta, I noticed an old lady
on board belonging to that sect of religion
ists called Christian Israelites. She was a
minister, (or ministress, giving it a feminine
termination.) and had been to Sparta for the
purpose of preaching, but the authorities be
lieving with Paul—that women ought not to
teach—refused her access to the churches,
and lienee she was going back to Milledge
ville, very much dispirited.
We reached Macon in the evening; after
a short stay, took the cars on the Southwest
ern Road for Cuthbert, and arriving there in
the forenoon of Wednesday, were in waiting
for the meeting of the Synod of Georgia,
which convened that night. The meeting
was much smaller than usual, but was, never
theless, represented by some of the best t alent
ofthc Synod. The Moderator of the last
Synod, (Dr. Irvine.) being absent, Rev. Mr.
Stacey opened the meeting with one of those
good sermons for which he is proverbial.—
After the sermon. Rev. W. J. McCormick, of
Florida, the Moderator of a previous meeting,
occupied the chair, and, upon motion, Rev.
Mr. Martin, of Atlanta, was elected Mode
rator and Rev. Mr. Clisby and Rev. Mr.
Stacey temporary Clerks.
Among other things, I may mention that
Administrators w r ere appointed upon the es
tate of Oglethorpe University, deceased, with
power to sell the Neal building, in the city of
Atlanta, if necessary, to liquidate the indebt
edness of said deceased. Thus a question
which has harassed the Synod for years has
been satisfactorily settled. The apparatus
and library were presented to Talmadge High
School, at Milledgeville.
The committee appointed to examine the
records of Atlanta Presbytery, took excep
tion to the fact that they had dismissed a
minister, to join the Methodist church, as be
ing in good standing, when he had stated
that he had adopted Arminian views. The
action of the Presbytery was defended in a
very able speech by Dr. Leftwich. of Atlanta.
Prof. Woodrow, of Columbia, S. C., and Dr.
Irvine, of Augusta, who had by this time
reached Cuthbert, thought the action of Pres
bytery irregular. In the course of his speech,
Dr. Irvine asked what the Presbytery would
do if this brother, after having received his
letter of dismission, should conclude not to
unite with the Methodist brethren, but ask
to be received into the Presbytery again ? It
reminded him of a story he had heard of a
Roman Catholic who had been guilty of some
gross wickedness. He went to his Priest for
advice, and the Priest replied, “ I will tell
you what to do. I will give you a recom
mendation, and you can go to some other
place.” Upon reading it, he said, “you have
given me such an endorsement, I will remain
where 1 am.” “ No,” said the Priest, “ and
if you attempt this, I will carry the matter
before the Pope.” “ And so will I,” replied
the other. Arrived in the presence of His
Holiness, the letter was exhibted, and the re
ply received, “go, sta} r where you are.” At
the close of the speech, the vote was taken
and the exception sustained. The Hybernian
wit of Dr. Irvine in everything he says, in
dubitably proclaims him a native of Green
Erin.
The action of Augusta Presbytery in elect
ing a ruling elder Moderator, was declared
irregular, although in accordance with the
fundamental principles of Presbyterianism.
I cannot pass without mentioning the ex
cellent singing, led b3 r a choir composed of
young ladies and gentlemen, the whole con
gregation joining in the songs of praise.—
Would that all our churches could catch the
same inspiration, for worship consists not
only in the preaching and the prayer, but in
the praise as well.
The next Synod meets in Augusta. It
ought to have been in Jefferson, for then we
certainly would purchase anew bell and re
pair our church buildings, which are sadly in
need of a fresh coating of paint, and other
repairs.
During ray stay I enjoyed the hospitality
of a young friend whom I had known fifteen
years before as a little Sabbath-school boy,
and to whom, and to his accomplished lady,
I am indebted for much of the pleasure of my
visit. But, while I will ever remember them
with pleasure, I cannot forget the kindness
of another valued friend —a native of old
Jackson—whom I also met. And there are
yet others to whom I would return thanks.
But all pleasures must have an end. So bid
ding adieu to Cuthbert, its generous citizens,
its green groves and blooming gardens, (for
the frost had but just touched them,) I enter
ed the train, and was soon flying along the
rails homeward bound. Reaching Macon, I
learned that I would have to remain till next
morning, and wishing to get a good night’s
rest, I retired very early, but, alas! “The
best laid schemes of mice and men aft gang
a-glee,” for “tired Nature’s sweet restorer,
balmy sleep,” fled from me under the com
bined influence of the revelings of a devotee
at the shrine of Bacchus, the noisy gabbling
of a flock of geese, belonging to a rot und rep
resentative of “ Fader Land,” and the mellow
notes of big mosquitoes, little mosquitoes, old
mosquitoes, and young mosquitoes. Dewy
morn, with rosy fingers unlocking the gates
of the East, found me still tossing sleeplesslv
upon my couch. Well I guess it was mos
quitoes, &c., that kept me* awake ; but, some
how or other, I also kept thinking
Of the girl I left behind me.”
But for fear I may weary you, I will close
by saying that I reached Athens Tuesday,
and that night found me again at, “ home,
sweet home.” Timon.
The New Congress.
The interest in the new Congress, which
comes together early next month, of course
centres in the organization of the House of
Representatives. It will be eighteen years
since a Democratic Speaker has been elected,
and in that interval the Republican party
has controlled the House for nine consecutive
Congresses. Of the 292 members of the next
House, the Democrats have 178, the Repub
licans 108, and the Independents 6. Of the
various candidates for the Speakership, Kerr,
of Indiana ; Randall of Pennsylvania ; Cox
and Wood, of New York ; Sayler, of Ohio?
Holman, of Indiana; and Lamar, of Missis
sippi, were members of prece ding Congresses,
while Payne, of Ohio, and Walker, of Virgin
ia are new members. The relative strength
of the various candidates is variously esti
mated. and by the first week in December
figures alone may be brought into requisition
for the first time to show who is ahead. A
correspondent of the World says those Dem
ocratic members ivho have visited Washing
ton express their desire to vote for a candi
date whose record as a Democrat is free from
local and “entangling alliances,” and who
will reflect the highest honor and credit on
his party and the country. Next to the
Speaker the Clerk is the most important offi
cer of the House, and for this as w r ell as for
the minor offices there is no lack of candi
dates. It is generally conceded, however,
that the Clerkship will go to the South, which
advances no claims to the first position.
The Rabun Gap Railroad,
Is an enterprise in which, we are inclined
to think, the people of this section of the
country have and feel, at least, an indirect
if not a direct interest; we therefore, as a
matter of news, give place to the following
extract from the Atlanta Constitution, bear
ing on this subject:—
The Rabin Gap Road.— Knoxville isjwide
awake to the importance of promoting the
building of this road. An adjourned meet
ing of its board of trade was held on Tues
day last to consider the report of a commit
tee appointed at a previous meetinjr. That
report is before us. It enthusiastically en
dorses the project, and urges the people of
Knoxville to take steps that will lead to an
early extension of the road to a point south
of Rabun Gap.
The project looks to a short cut from Cin
cinnati to the South Atlantic states, and was
first mooted in 1835, and has never since been
abandoned. The completion of Cincinnati’s
southern road will leave a gap of only 135
miles between that city and Clayton, Ga.,
which is south of the gap and the point from
which lines are expected to radiate through
out Georgia and South Carolina. The road
is completed to Maryville about twenty miles
south of Knoxville, and from thence the pro
jected line runs up the valley of the Little
Tennessee to and through Rabun Gap until
it reaches Clayton Rabun country. Of the
uncompleted portion thirty-seven miles are in
Tennessee, eighty in North Carolina, and
seventeen in Georgia.
The proposition before the Knoxville board
of trade comes from the proprietors of the
road to Maryville. They offer to build a nar
row guage road to Walhalla if the city of
Knoxville will agree to pay them fifty thou
sand dollars as soon as the road is completed.
Walhalla is twenty-two miles from Clayton ;
and the gap between the two points must be
filled in order to tap the railroad system of
South Carolina.
To reach the Georgia roads a line must
be constructed from Clayton to Belton on the
Air-Line road, a distance of forty-five miles.
This, as the Knoxville committee says, would
give East Tennessee a competing line to At
lanta, and the shortest line to central Geor
gia and the Georgia coast in connection with
the Northeastern road. They claim that it
would place Knoxville on the shortest possi
ble line between the northwest and the south
Atlantic ports.
On motion of Mayor Staub a committee was
appointed to get a definite proposition from
the proprietors of the road to Maryville on
which they would undertake the completion
of the line to Walhalla. A railroad conven
tion is to be held in Knoxville on the 20th
of January to consider the subject, and at
this convention it would be well to have north
east Georgia and Atlanta well represented ;
for Knoxville means business in connection
with the extension of her great trunk line to
meet the railroad systems of Georgia and
South Carolina.
Johnson and Imboden.
Richmond, November 20.—Just previous
to the departure of the 9 :20 p. in. northern
bound train, an exciting scene occurred on
one of the cars between Gen. Bradley T.
Johnson and Gen. John D. Imboden. The
latter, who was about going off on the train
was approached by Gen. Johnson, who, after
telling Imboden he had been looking for him
all day administered sundry blows on his
person with a cowhide. Imboden at once
made at Johnson, when the latter drew a pis
tol, but before he could use it they were sep
arated and both arrested. They were taken
to the station house and placed under bond
of SI,OOO each, for their appearance at the
police court Monday. The cause of the as
sault is attributed to the evidence given by
Imboden in the contested election of the
case between Johnson and Knight for seats
in the state senate.
It is estimated that the government will
recover $1,500,000 by the raid on the St.
Louis whisky thieves, or about one half of
what has been stolen there in the last three
years.

“That a law be passed especially for this

in said county, and that said tax be applied
to educational purposes, after paying the
