Convention or No Convention.
The all absorbing question before the pre
sent session of the Legislature, was the call
ing of a Constitutional Convention. We think
the people expected that a Convention would
be called ; that the question of Convention
or No Convention would be submitted to
them at the polls, in the early spring of this
year; that if a Convention was called it
would meet in carl}’summer, and that the 4th
day of July, 1876, would find us r s ‘ng
peacefully under the protection of a Consti
tution framed by representatives chosen by
the good citizens of the State. But the peo
ples' hopes were destined to be blasted ; the
House bill, which was passed by a very large
majority, denied them the right of voting on
the question ; the Senate refused to pass the
House bill, alleging this as an objectionable
feature. After fillibustering for several days,
the substitute of Mr. Slaughter, which is so
vague and indefinite as to be meaningless,
was passed ; of course the House will not
agree to it, and the result will be that no
Convention will be called by this Legislature.
We had hoped that the General Assembly
wonld grasp this question, and that they
would give forth no uncertain sound. A fair
way to test the question was to submit it to
the people (the dear people,) and let them
decide at the ballot-box whether Georgians
should be governed by an organic law\ fram
ed by our enemies when our hands were tied,
or whether we should frame our own Consti
tution, unawed by bayonets and Federal
interference.
We believe it is high time that the shackles
placed upon us by the pernicious provisions
of the Constitution of 1868 should be loosed,
but, we think the Senate did right to reject
the House bill, and we will say amen to the
action of the House if they refuse to pass
Mr. Slaughter’s substitute. In fact, we think
that neither the bill nor the substitute is wor
thy the occasion ; but as it is hardly proba
ble that either of them will pass, we deem it
useless to discuss their merits—or rather
their lack of merit.
Programme of the Republican Parly.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, one of the
“head-centres” of the Republican party, has
published a letter on the coming “Presiden
tial campaign,” which is thus analyzed by the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun of a recent date :
“It means hoisting the bloody 9hirt, and
the campaign is to be conducted on the poli
cy of suspicion, alarm and hatred. All the
bad passions of the war are to be evoked in
the Northern mind. Instead of being passed
into oblivion, all that can excite prejudice
and animosity are to be aroused. Instead of
a year of peace, it is to be one of sectional
partisanship on the part of the Republicans.
They have unfurled the black banner of op
pression. No spark of generosity is to illu
mine their progress ; no love of country ani
mates their bosoms. The interest of country
is last in the desire of party triumph. Sher
man declares the renomination of Grant will
be an act of suicide. He advocates Govern
or Hayes, a bitter partisan of the bitterest
stripe. The course of the South is plain.
Passions must be subdued. We must pursue
a manly, dignified course. When attacked,
defend with fact and cool reason. Never al
low a single instance of mob law. Let the
false attacks of our enemies be exposed in
the open manner that Ben Hill did. Hurl
back false accusations and prove them false
hoods—answer cowardly and lying assertions
with facts. The tideof hate and sectionalism
must finally turn to that of peace and justice.
We know what to expect. Sherman's letter
teaches the lesson. He means business on the
“bloody shirt” line.*'
The Ninth District.
Hon. John Hockenhull. of Dawson county,
chairman of the Ninth district executive com
mittee, officially calls upon the different coun
ties to elect delegates to the district conven
tion, which meets at Gainesville on the 26th
of April, to choose delegates to the national
democratic convention. Mr. Hockenhull is
working vigorously for the party, and is de
termined that the Ninth shall do her duty.
We give the call as follows :
The state democratic executive committee, at a
meeting held in Atlanta, passed resolutions calling
upon the different congressional districts to meet
in convention and nominate delegates to the na
tional convention. As chairman of the democrat
ic executive committee of the Ninth congressional
district, I hereby notify (in addition to the special
notices sent to chairmen of the democratic com
mittees of the different counties) the citizens, and
especially chairmen of the democratic committees
of the different counties of the Ninth congressional
district to hold their primary meetings on or be
fore the first Tuesday in April next, for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to a convention to be
held at Clainesville on the 26th of April next, to
nominate delegates to the national democratic
convention.

National Democratic Headquarters.
The National Executive Democratic Com
mittee have opened rooms in Washington city
under the charge of Mr. Banks, of Mis
sissippi, the secretary of the committee. These
rooms will be kept open until after the Presi
dential election in November next. Corres
pondence will be immediately opened with
the Democratic State Committees in all the
Commonwealths of the Union and measures
taken for the inauguration of the most vigo
rous campaign measures. State Committees,
who desire speakers to take part in the State
or the national campaigns, will obtain all the
information, desired by application to these
headquarters.
The Legislature.
That oft referred to individual, a “Phila
delphia lawyer,” would find it a very difficult
matter to “sift out,” from the great mass of
the legislative proceedings during the past
week, anything that will interest or benefit
the people at large—if we except one or two
measures. In the Senate, on the Bth, the bill
to exempt from taxation cotton, corn, and
other produce of the previous year in the
hands of the producer, was passed ; as also
the general tax act. In the House, on the
9th, Mr. Candler offered a resolution request
ing our representatives in Congress to use
efforts to procure such modification of the law
as will stop prosecutions where the acts com-
plained of date back two years.
On the 10th. the appropriation bill was up
in the House and was discussed with the usu
al speeches about economy and retrenchment,
and any amount of buncombe about the dear
people groaning under heavy taxation. After
discussing it ail day the hill passed, making
the same appropriations for each department
as last year. A bill was also passed in the
House on the 11th, to provide for the admis
sion of colored deaf mutes into the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum.
The bill consolidating the office of Tax
Receiver and Collector of Jackson county
has been withdrawn.
In the Senate on the 12th, the Convention
hill was taken up for consideration. On this
subject there was a “lively fight all along the
line.” Several amendments to the bill as
passed by the House were proposed and vot
ed on. and during the time lengthy speeches
were indulged in by several members. At
length Senator Slaughter, from the 37th Dis
trict, offered a substitute for the entire bill
and its amendments, and we give a synopsis
of the same.
See. 1. That at the county elections in Jan.
1877. managers of elections shall receive from
lawful voters their vote on the question of
“Convention” or “no convention.”
Sec. 2. That the words “convention” or
“no convention”* shall he written or printed
upon their tickets if the electors desire to vote
upon the question.
Sec. 3. That the managers shall consolidate
and return these votes.
Sec. 4. That the ordinaries, within three
days after the receipt of the returns forward
the same to the governor.
Sec. 5. That the governor give notice in the
newspapers of the state, for three months pri
or to the election, of the manner, time and
object of said election.
Sec. 6. That the governor upon ascertain
ing votes shall lay the same before the gen
eral assembly of 1877, and make proclamation
of the same.
Sec. 7. Repeals conflicting laws.
After a warm debate participated in by
Senators Reese, Howell, Cooper and Lester,
Mr. Slaughter's substitute was passed—Yeas
*2l ; Nays, 20. Senator Cooper offered an
amendment to the substituted bills, which
was laid over.
A bill in the House on the 14th, to pre
scribe the duties of Tax Collectors of this
State was passed with this amendment—by
inserting “five days” for “fifteen days” time
required for collectors to be at court house
before closing of books.
Anv amount of local and minor legislation
has gone through the “mill.” In this how
ever, the public feel little or no interest—ex
cept that the people have to pay dearly for
all this work—which could be done just as
well by the Sup. Courts and other legal tri
bunals.
Repeal of the Bankrupt Law.
Speaking of the action of the lower house
of Congress in repealing the Bankrupt law,
the Atlanta Constitution has this to say :
“Our merchants (the Atlanta Board of
Trade) declare their belief that the bankrnpt
law has wrought untold injures to the inter
ests of the whole people of the country, and
that it has become the cloak of numberless
frauds and wrongs. They also compliment
in high terms our representatives. Messrs.
Candler and Hartridge, who voted for the
repeal.
We hope to see the repeal speedily passed
through the senate and become a law, The
bankrupt act has served its day, and while
many deserving men have sought relief
through it, it is now too often the means
used by dishonest debtors to rob their credi
tors of their just dues. A true man will
always feel keenly his inability to meet his
obligations, though it be his misfortune and
not his fault; but there are too many men,
who, after possessing themselves of the prop
erty of others in one way or another, unfeel
ingly and iinblushingly proceed to defraud
them by recourse to the bankrupt act. We
therefore trust to sec it repealed, and thus
have removed a most prolific source of ras
cality.”
As the bill of repeal is both important and
interesting we give it in full:
To repeal the act entitled “An act to
establish a uniform system of bankruptcy
throughout the United States,” approved
March 21. 1867, and all laws and parts of
laws amendatory thereof.
Be it enacted, etc., That the act entitled
“An act to establish a uniform syslem of
bankruptcy throughout the United States,”
approved March 2, 1867, and all other laws
and parts of laws amendatory’ of said act
and supplemental thereunto, and all amend
ments thereto be, and the same hereby are,
repealed.
Sec. 2 That all suits and proceedings now
pending in the courts of the U. S. wherein
an adjudication in bankruptcy has been
made shall be proceeded with and governed
by the provisions of existing laws, w hich are
hereby' continued in force only for the pur
pose of closing up suits and proceedings now
pending.
Sec. 3. That this act shall take effect from
and after the first day of January, 1877.
Hard on Grant.
A negro named Bruce, who is a U. S. Sen
ator from Mississippi, said in a speech the
other day, that “President Grant was not on
ly a hypocrite but a liar, who had made prom
ises in words to break them in acts.”
Washington, February 11. —The President
has requested Senator Bruce to call on him
to-day in regard to the rupture between him
self and Senator Bruce, which culminated in
the speech in secret session of the Senate
yestereay.
Washington. February 11. —It has at length
transpired that the president and Senator
Bruce are mutually and equally indifferent
about seeing each other. Bruce will repeat
his speech in open session.
“How beautiful it is for brethren- to dwell

The State Road Lease.
SOME NEW’ DEVELOPMENTS MADE BY THE COM
MITTEE —BUYING THE PRESS.
The committee appointed by the General
Assembly to investigate the charges made
against the lessees of the Western & Atlantic.
Railroad for using money to procure said
lease, is composed of the following gentlemen
of the Senate and House; Senators Mc-
Daniel, of the Twenty-Seventh, Chairman,
and Du Bose, of the Nineteenth ; Representa
tives Walsh, of Richmond, Peeples, of Gwin
nett, and Smith, of Lowndes. At the meet
ing last night, at the Markham House, the
committee examined Mr. Hemphill, of the
Constitution, in relation to the charge that be
had received $5,000 from the lessees of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad for aiding in
the procurement of the lease. Upon the di
rect question being put, Mr. Hemphill stated
that he had received that amount of money.
This settles the question at issue, and estab-
lishes the fact, beyond peradventure, that the
lease was fraudulently obtained.
In the course of the examination of Gov
ernor Brown last night, he stated to the com
mittee that $21,000 had been used in the pro
curement of the lease of the State Road. He
stated that there was a great deal of opposi
tion to the lease, and he thought it was right
and proper to use the money to secure it.—
He mentioned, among the papers to whom
money had been paid, the Macon Telegraph
<s• Messenger, the Augusta Constitutionalist,
the Columbus papers, and stated that .about
SI,OOO had been paid to the country press,
though he did not name the papers. He also
stated that an editor, now dead, had been
paid money to advocate it. and that JaCAprk
Swavze, who edited a Radical paper at Macon,
had been paid money for the same purpose.
Mr. Knight, an attorney, had also been paid
to advocate it. We regret that the names of
all the parties who had received money for
that purpose were not given, but we suppose
that they will at once declare themselves, as
they consider that nothing discreditable is
attached to it.— Atlanta Commonwealth.
OF 5 The Griffin News is preaching re
trenchment, and hits our legislators hard
when it says: “There is the members of the
Georgia Legislature getting seven dollars
per day for their services, while skilled me
chanics, the farm hand, and every other oc
cupation has been reduced almost one-half,
on account of the hard times. The members
of the Legislature of the State of New -York
only get four dollars per day, when the same
men would gladly work for three or four
dollars. This is all wrong, and the people
should speak out in their public meetings,
and let their representatives know that they
will no longer* submit quietly to a wrong
that is fast driving them to ruin and bank
rupt}’ ; that they are determined these ex
tortionate rates shall be retrenched at home
and abroad.”
fqF’Some remarkable observations have
lately been made in regard to the heat of the
human body. By means of an ingenious in
strument recently invented by Dr. Lombard,
of New York, it is ascertained that a woman’s
body is warmer than that of a man by about
three-fourths of a degree, and sometimes as
high as one-half a degree. It is also definitely
ascertained that children are decidedly warm
er than adults, the difference being
degree Farenheit, and that the younger the
child the greater the diversity. A difference
in the heat of the sides of the body, is dis
covered to be an invariable law. The left
side of the head, and extending downward to
the base of the neck, is much hotter than the
right side. These curious facts open np to
medical men anew line of research and in
quiry.
Another Civil Rights Case. —An inter
esting case under the civil rights act was tried
in the United States Circuit Court at San
Francisco last week, before Judge Sawyer.
It was a case in which a colored man .sought
a remedy for having been excluded from a
theatre. There was some strong swearing on
one side or the other, for the testimony was
very contradictory on the simple facts, and
it was charged by the Judge that in ttye ab
sence of any rule of the theatre that “ negroes
should be excluded,” there was no evidence
to show that the man was excluded on ac
count of color, and that he might have been
excluded for some other reason. Under this
charge of the Judge the jury found a verdict
in favor of the manager without leaving their
seats.
Mr. Carlton's bill to reorganize the State
University has passed the House without op
position, and will be adopted by the Senate.
PF’A warehouse containing 500 bales of

tdpFrom a Cartersville letter in the At
lanta Herald, we extract the following:
The noted case of the Rev. Mr. Pierce has
finally received its quietus at this term of the
Court. I will not recall its painful details.
The charge that a minister of high standing
was guilty of criminal conduct, and stood in
dicted before the Courts of the country for
such offence, was a grave one, reaching deeply
into the moral sensibilities of the public.—
Opinion was divided. Without any partisan
ship, and in the cause of public morality, all
will be pleased to know that the matter has
been finally dismissed from the Courts. Mr.
Pierce, by his counsel, made a demand for
trial at two successive terms of the Court,
and the prosecution not pressing the matter,
under the statute, the case goes out of the
law forever. I give you the fact without
comment. ’ • 9
JdF*The Thomaston Herald thinks “it is a
matter of grfcve doubt whether any good will
be accomplished by a Convention. The points
in dispute are strongly contested, each side
having strong friends, and when we note with
what folly the General Assembly handle all

doubt that much good would come of a Con
stitutional Convention. Like the boy that
