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. BTMcDermed sells the cheapest Oli •ad Lamps, at Kilgore's stand, Athens. 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. STATE NEWS ITEMS.

Last Thursday, a little son of Dr. A. I. llendr} r , of Taylor’s Creek, while eating persimmons, and laughing at the same time, swallowed a seed, which lodged in his wind pipe. All efforts to eject it were in vain *, and, after the little boy had suffered great agony, his father made an opening in the throat, and succeeded in removing the seed. On yesterday the little sufferer was doing well, and no doubt of his recovery is now entertained. —HinesviUe Gazette. The grand jury of Greene county found ; thirty-two true bills against persons prose ■ cuted as vagrants. This body also recom mended “that our Representatives in the Legislature use their influence to have a law passed, to compensate parties who may sutsain loss by having property stolen or damaged, out of fines imposed upon the con victed part}', for such offence.” Here is a recommendation of the grand jury of Greene county, which might well be applied to other counties of the State: “That a law be passed especially for this county, imposing a tax of $1 per head on each dog, and also a tax of $5 on each pistol in said county, and that said tax be applied to educational purposes, after paying the claims of school officers and teachers for the year 1871.” Among the cargo of a steamship which has just sailed for Europe from Philadelphia were thirty dressed beeves, one hundred and fifty dressed sheep, and a large quantity of poultry and oysters, which it is proposed to land in good condition by means of the “refrigerating process.” Gold begins to crop out in every part of upper Georgia, except in the people’s pock ets. The latest “find” is reported by the Marietta Journal on Mr. Cyrus Dial’s place in Cherokee county. The Journal claims “it is by far the richest mine in Georgia. The dirt in Mr. Dial’s yard and garden are liter ally full of particles of the precious stuff. Mr. John Durham visited Mr. Dial’s place, and he informs us that he saw Mr. Dial take a frying pan full of dirt from his garden and from it he extracted one pennyweight of gold, while from two small rocks he got two pen nyweights without any trouble. Gold as large as grains of wheat shine in rocks —true indications of abundance. Mr. Durham says in two hours time Mr. Dial washed out eight dollars’ worth of gold. We have two speci mens from this mine. Mr. Dial was a poor man, but he now finds himself suddenly rich. tdF 1 A railroad accident occurred on the Charlotte Columbia and Augusta railroad, not far from the latter place, last week, which though killing but one person, bruised and otherwise injured a great many more; and it seems a miracle that more lives were not lost. The accident was the result of carelessness or recklessness of the engineer and conduct or of one train running into another which had stopped and was ahead of the first named.
