Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 25ih, ’7. r >.
During the tun week* which the le
gislature has liecn in session, the im
portant general questions in which ev
ery (fforgian feds n <U*ep interest,
have not yet been reached.
," A large nuinl>er of bills have been
introduced in both branches of the
General Assembly, and while the
large majority thereof are of a local
character, still, a number of them are
measures concerning the general inter*
rest and welfare of our grand old
( (immonwealth. It would lie occupy
ing too much space of the weekly
columns of the Georgian to give each
bill which has been entered up'in the
calendars of the Legislature; therefore,
we will only call attention in our ar
ticles, to such as are of a general char
acter.
Several bills calling a Constitutional
Convention for the purpose of chnng
ing the organic laws of our Slate, have
been proposed. Some look to the im
mediate calling of the Convention by
the legislature ; others, propose sub
mitting the question to the people.—
An able committee composed of the
very best men of the legislature,
havp under advisement these bill
and will, after due consideration and
delilicration, report back to the Gen
eral Assembly such an one as will host
suit the exigences of the times. For
one, without the slightest disposition
to deny’ to the people of Georgia their
full right and privilege to act upon all
questions pertaining to their interest
and to have a voice in matters relating
to Uieir government, still, I think
there are certain questions ns to which
the legislature, from the greater fa
cilities for becoming acquainted there
with, than the constituency so repre
sented, should assume a full responsi
bility. It seems pretty generally the
opinion now, that if a Convention hill
is passed, it will he one to submit the
question to the people. As to this dis
position of the matter, it appears to
me that this danger obtains: It
and will be urged by the Radical lea
ders, that the object of the Conven
tion is only to so amend the funda
mental laws of our .State, as to pre
clude the rights of the colored people
bv a too rigid establishment of Consti
tutional guard to State rights, as well
particular section, has as yet, been in
t roduced. a
It is said by some of our oldest,
ablest and most experienced Georgians
—those longYamilinr with the Legis
lative bodies of the State—that the
present ia as able ami competent a
General Assembly, as ever convened
in Georgia. This is saying very
miii'h. and I greatly trust, that their
legislation may only prove it a just
and well deserved compliment.
We have hail quite an exciting time
for a few days past, over the subject of
Steto Printer. The spirit of the
House seems fully to lie, to practice
eeonomv in the strictest degree, in eve
ry department of the State govern
ment. Then, of course, some reforma
tions are necessary and will lie inau
gurated, which will invariably bring
animated discussion and earnestness
of delmte. There evidently appears
a decided disposition to return to the
good old days nl the republic, when
honesty and economy w ere the “ Watch
words” of legislation. Nothing cer
tainly is more essential now to our
prosperity and happiness, our mate
rial and educational advancement and
our higher order of civilization, than
the absence of so much legislation
upon matters of minor importance,
and the direction and application of
legislative ability to the education and
elevation of the moral sentiment of
our whole people. This day and time
may lie hailed with jov and gladness
by every Georgian, as the period when
true law will be the adornment of our
Statute hooks; when crime and cor
ruption will be the evils of days gone
by, and when jieacc, plenty, happiness,
prosperity and good government, will
lie the proud boast of every citizen of
our 11 Empire State.”
We have had interesting and highly
entertaining speeches here at the Ca|>-
itnl within the past week, from Dr. W.
H. Felton, Congressman elect, from
the 7th District, and the Hon. B.-H.
Hill. As much has already been
said by way of comment upon these
different speeches of the honorable
gentlemen by the Press throughout
the State, and which doubtless, has
been presented to the renders of the
Georgian, we forbear further com
ments. There seems to be a growing
interest in Mr. Hill’s Congressional
prospects in the 9th District, not only
in Georgia, but throughout the South.
The general impression seems to be,
that the 9th District, though in douht
as to Mr. Hill’s bona-fide citizenship
thereof, still, having it in their power
to send him as their representative to
Congress, has no right to roh the
whole Southern country of such talent
as a statesman, and ability as a Con
stitutionnl lawyer nnd debater—which
all must ascribe to Mr. Hill—and that
the people of the 9th District should
waive all question on that point and
send him to Congress by their unani
mous vote. We are clearly in favor'of
a strict adhereneejto party organization
our District, and shall most cer-
i-1 The Last Ukase of Sheridan.
It lias been officially announced, that
General Sheridan has recognized
Crosby as bfaeritf of.'Warren County,
Mississippi, and planed him id office;
driving put, it the point of the liayo-
heriff who was elected by the
experience that peculiar poignancy of much of his time to experimental
grief which shed* the bitterest tears. * f;
Yes, fellow representatives, the boy
soldier of 1SG1, possessed of that in- prai
i.ate, inborn and tru?patriotism, which J$e
developed the gajbint hero and brave
Sender of Soutfi-n tights; » able,
as an almost entire exclusion of tainly support the nominee of the
“ Homestead” protection. These nnd
other erroneous impressions, will
prove the defeat of the Convention
which is in our judgment, so much
needed. If the Convention should lie
directly called by ihe Legislature, the
protection and full rights of the people
will lie secured in their elect ion of del
gates to said Convention. Wit h a Con
vention eom]Mised of the liest and
truest men of our State, with such
good ns may tie found in the present
Constitution, and then with the new
one before them, we may,l»o|ie the
adoption, of such foitdamental or or
ganic principles for our future govern
ment, as will give the greatest of secu
rity, protection, happiness and justice
to the whole (leojile of Georgia. It
apprehended by some, that the recent
“ Louisiana affairs” might make it in
advisable to rail the (.'(invention at
this time. Some of our liest States
men hold this opinion. As for our
selves, we cannot see how a Constitu
tional Convention on the part of the
)ieople of Georgia, called and eondue
ted with that prudence nnd propriety
which should at all times characterize
movements of such import, and esjie-
cially when coupled with times prog
nant with events of such grave im|*or-
tance to American liberty and Consti
tutional sacred ness, could jeopardize
or endanger the public good.

trict.^iuidJl^rqt^b Ajr^lly providing
party; but from our present stand
point, we are fmnk to say, that we
think the best interest of our District,
of the whole State of Georgia, nnd of
the whole South, could best be served
now, by sending Mr. Hill to Congress—
and we are equally positive in assert
ing that our views are by no means
based upon or formed by outside pres
sure; but sol; lv njion a clear convic
tion of what, in our bumble judgment
is best for onr whole country.
The weather has licen exceedingly
disagreeable since the convening of the
Legislature—quite a number of the
members have been sick. The Gate
City presents an unusual gay appear
ance—auy number of theatrical enter
tainments and shows of different kinds,
These legislative associations draw
goodly portion of the members per
diem. Well, “ such is.life.”
More anon. H. H. C.
net, tht
people.
It is a popular belief, which is daily
lieconiing more general, that the peo
ple of the counties of the several States,
alone, have the power to elect their
Sheriffs, and that, wherever a dispute
arises as to the validity of aineleqtion
or as to the qualifications of the permn
elected, the Courts of the State alone,
have the power to decide. If there lie
any valid law that takes this power
away from the |ieople and their local
judiciary, and vests it in the Army of
the United States, we have never heard
of it, and we are inclined to believe
that no such lalt can exist, so long as
that musty old scroll called the Fed
eral Constitution continues of force.
It is true that if the Lieutenant-Gen
eral could eject members of a State
Legislature, determine the qualifica
tions of its members and dictate bow
it should be organized, there is no rea
son whv he should not remove one
Sheriff and install another in a little
county in Mississippi. It docs not mat
ter perhaps, that the ejected Sheriff was
elected by the people, and that the
man who was put in his place by a file
of soldiers was disqualified by law,
and had summoned bands of armed
negroes to burn nnd pillage the city
of Vicksburg. The people, Sheridan
savs, were “ handditti,” and the fact
that they objected to having their
throats cut nnd their houses burned by
the loyal Crosby and bis friends, is
itself, sufficient to convince the
Lieutenant-General of their lawless
character and the entire validity of
Crosby’s claim to any office he might
select.
There is no other reason under the
sun, why Crosby should have been put
office. According to the laws of
Mississippi, passed by a judicial legis
lature. he could not hold the office.—
He had been ousted by the Courts for
inability to execute the necessary bond,
and his successor was elected accord
ing to lnw, duly qualified and installed
in office.
At all events, under the old-fash
ioned way of doings, the Courts, and
not the soldiers, would seem to be the
proper tribunal to decide in cases of
quo wnrranfo, unless the decided tin
willingness of the “ Imnditti” of Vicks
burg to be murdered, pillaged and
burned by the enthusiastic followers
of Crosby, operates as a Constitution
al amendment nnd gives to the oracnla
dicta of the Lieutenant-General the
f<vce nnd validity of the supreme law.
It has been recently remarked, that
Sheridan “ looks more like an An?
trian than an American officer.” This
is probably, quite true. He has de
cidedly Austrian ways. He is, ne
doubt, strikingly like Hnvnnu.

the most corrupt administration which
ever characterized the government of
Georgia; the Christian gentleman
whose iuthieiioe and example as such
stand<tt(idnv nu imperishable‘and in
destructible monument to the high
morality and virtue of North Georgia,
was truly and rightfully, our pride and
our hope. The complimentary refer
ences and expressions di the gentlc-

of our common sorrow, .with no show
of external garb of mouthing to mark
our sadness, hut with %arts clothed
in that painful and mournful grief
which, on the results of a true realiza
tion of our loss, we bow in submission
to the sad dispensation of Providence,
with the sorrow of an appreciating
constituency.
The Hon. Mr. McMillan, having at
tained at flic early age of thirty-two
years that position in the politics of our
country, which could only be reached
through the coufidence^f a constit

public servant, has beenSule'd from
the political arena af our land at an
hour when he would not only have
proven the grandest champion of
Southern rights and constitutional lib
erty in the counsel of the nation, but
he was 1 aliout to add fresh laurels to
that crown of glory already no noblv,
so justly won, so worthily and so mod
estly worn, nnd which does’ and ever
will entitle his memory to the lasting
love and admiration of the now mourn
ing peopie of his native State. The
loss of this member from the honorable
corps which constitutes our representa
tion in the general government, has
added one more to the noble hand of
departed patriots nnd statesmen, who
now contribute to form the quorum of
the spirit land.
Then farewell, noble young states

loss, though grievous, is thine eternal
gain, meekly we will bow onr beads
and onr hearts of sorrow in submission
to that Providence which doctli all
things well, and with that feeling which
the sorely bereaved alone can experi

A Suggestion.
Obstacles to Definite Action
by Congress.—The difficulty in the
way of Congressional action on Lou
isiana affair- is found in the Consti
tution and the laws. If there was no
doubt about the constitutional power
of Congress to order a new election in
the State—if that power was clear to
the Democrats and to all Republicans
as it seems to be to a few, there would
probably lie little hesitation in ex
pressing dissatisfaction with the ex
isting condition in n law providing for
a new election under the superinten
dence of the General Government.
There is some talk of setting up a
Provisional Government, but the same
objections are raised against this action
as against the other. If a new elec
tion, or a Provisional Government, is
not authorized, the only alternative is
to recognize the Kellogg Government,
and authorize nnd empower the Pres
ident to support it with the whole
power of the Government.— Washing-
ton Corrnpondenre of the New York
Times. . . ., : i;.7 V '
There is .mother way of settling the
Louisiana case to which the Constitu
tion and laws present no ohstade
whatever, and many people would
probably think much preferable to a
new election, a provisional govern
ment, or an out-and-out recognition of
Kellogg by Congress. It is to obey
the Constitution and laws and allow
t lie people of the State of Louisiana to
elect their own government.
There is a simplicity in this method
which ought to commend it to persons
who are reully anxious to find a way
out of " the difficulty. It is old-fash,
ioned, but still perfectly efficacious,
and it has this great advantage of be
ing the only way that is possible with
out a palpable violation of law.
Our Honored Dead.
Remarks of Hon. H. H. Carlton, on
the resolutions of Hon. Mr. Bacon in
the House of Representatives:
Resolved, by the House of Representa
tives, That in the deaths of Hon. Gar
nett McMillan, Colonel Charles T.
Goode, Captain James H. Hunter and
Hon. Dunlap Scott, the State has lost
four of her most distinguished and pa
triotic citizens, whose services in the
House, in rescuing her honor and re
storing a just and constitutional ail
ministration of the government for all
the people, entitle their memories to
the lasting gratitude and faithful re
metnlieraucc of every citizen of Geor-
gia.
Resolved, That this preamble and
these resolutions lie spread upon the
Journal of this House, to remain upon
the State’s most solemn record an im
perishable attestation of our high aj>-
preeiation of their excellencies nnd
worth.
Resol veil. That the Clerk do certify
and send a copy of these proceedings
to the respective families of the de
ceased.
The rules were unanimously sus
pended for their introduction, when
Air. Bacon with deep jwthos and ear
nestness said:
Sir—I shall attempt no eulogism on
the character of these men. In their
lives, short but brilliant, aud devoted
to the interests of the State, will lie
found tliier best eulogium, and iu the
universal utterances of regret liy the
whole |ieople for their untimely loss is
their fittest requiem. And if those
were wanting, language hut poorly
translates the sorrow of hearts stricken
by the loss of dear honored friends. To
those of us who had the li nor to serve
with them on this floor, the memory
of their excellencies will never lade. In
recollection there are still present to
our ev&s those tiolile formes all aglow
with zeal for the State, and in our
ears there still rings the sound of tliat
wondrous eloquence which we have so
often heard echoing through this hall
and which was almost drowned in the
storin of ungovernable applause, which
it evoked. Those were perilous times,
and like true Knights, they bore them
selves through it all. Hero was the
place of their labors; here the scene of
their triumphs; and it is proper that
here a tribute should be offered to
their memories. I, therefore, ask that
the House will agree to the resolution.
Mr. Carlton, -of Clarke, said—As

gressional District, recently so honored,

University of Georgia.
Mr. Editor :—My time has of late,
been so much • ngaged, that I have
not before furnished you with the
dots” concerning the University,
which I promised. The boys have
nl! returned from ihe Christmas trips
home, and everything and everybody
connected with the college, have re
sumed the routine of daily life. Sev
eral new students have entered during
the year; there are now, in all, about
225 students attendant upon the Uni
versity and Agricultural College.—
This is a falling off from the numbers
in attendance during the two previous
years—but the showing is not bv any
means a bad one.
At the opening of the last session,
there was a great deal of dissatisfaction
among the students, caused by the
passage of several unpopular measures
by the Board of Trustees at their last
sitting. This feeling has, for the most
part, died out, and there is a great deal
of harmony and good will pervading
the whole institution. At the last
Commencement, several new Profes
sors were chosen; and at the beginning
of the last term, they took possession
of their respective departments.
Dr. H. II. TrcKF.R
Is at present, Chancellor of the Uni
versity. He was chosen nt the last
Commencement, nnd entered upon the
duties of his office at the opening of
the session. He is a gentleman of|
noted ability and of no mean reputn
tion, and will doubtless, prove an able
and efficient Chancellor.
Dr. Eustace W. Steer.
This eniiuent scholar aud divine,
was elected to fill the vacancy in the
department of Rhetoric and Belles
Is-ttres, caused by the death of Prof.
F. A. Lipscomb. The Doctor is well
known throughout the State. As a
Professor, be is quite popular, nnd fills
his Chair with grace and ability.

The Chair of History in this college,
is at present, filled by. Gea’l Browne,
the. Professor of History in the Uni
versity. The General thus, has double
duty to perform, and it is a fact
worthy of commendation, that he fills
the Chair of the Agricultural College
without remuneration.
THE NEW COLLEGE BUILDING
Is nearly completed, and will, we
suppose, be ready for occupancy in the
course of a month or two. It is a
large, three-story brick building—of
beautiful design, and presents an im
posing appearance. It is quite an or
nament to the University, and an
honor to the city of Athens—by the
liberality of whose citizens it was built
The only thing requisite to make the
Department of Sciences in our Univer
sity equal to any in the country, is, the
NECESSARY APPARATUS.
We have a fine building, constructed
reference to the Department of
Science and Art—and Professors, sec
ond to none in the South. But
great part of the benefit to be derived
from these different schools, is I:i3t for
want of a proper and sufficient appa
ratus, for the purpose of illustration
and experiment.
We are glad to hear that the subject
is so ii to be brought before the Slate
Legislature, and we sincerely hope
that it will grant an appropriation suf
ficient for the purchase of everything
necessary to make the schools of
Science and Art complete in all their
appointments.
TIIE MILITARY.
There arc now in the University,
three regularly organized companies
of cadets—each, with a full staff of
officers. One hundred of the 250
tand of arms given by the Legisla
ture, have already arrived ; and very
soon, the students will he made profi
cient in the drill. The extremely bad
weather has of late, prevented the
regular drills, but they will shortly lie
resumed, and at the next Commence
ment, there will be a Grand D'-e.-s
Parade of the University Battallion,
This department is under the super
vision of Capt. Charbomiier. The In
structor in Ta- tics is
Captain James Boniiam,
A graduate of the Virginia Military
Institute. Capt. Bonham is » true
soldier—and under his instruction,'the
Military De|iartmeut of our college
will be a success—and will bee une
quite a feature of the college.
