The district convention for this the 67th Senatorial district.jiiet at Frank lin on last Tuesday, the Bth instant, for the purpose ot nominating can* didates lor the constitutional conven tion. :V The convention was organised by calling B. L. Harris Esq., of Troup county, to the chair, and requesting Col. S. J. Johnson ot the Fianklin News, to act as .Secretary. Upon the roll of the counties being called, it was louud that all ol the counties were fully represented, ex cept Carroll, J. 8. Pentecost, one of her delegates being absent. It was agreed that the two-thirds rule should pretai) in making noinina fions, and also that each county should be entitled to twice as many votes, as it had Representatives in the loWet branch ot the [General Assem bly. At the request of the delegates from Carroll, the nominations front that county were put off last, hoping that her absent delegate might be present btiore her nominations were made. It was decided by the convention that Heard county was entitled to but one delegate, and thereupon the name ot T. M. Aubrey was put in nomina tion and he uas unanimously elect ed. Troup comity put in nomination the names of W. O. Tuggle, N. G. Swanson and L. L. Hardy, and they having received over a two thirds Vole were declared elected. The delegates from Carroll, when the time came for making nominations from that county, explained the some what embarrassing position in which they appeared in the convention. Car foil had hid a county convention tor the purpose of designating their choice for delegates. This conven tion had failed to agree upon but or.e man, Col. S. VV. Harris, whose name they took pleasure iu presenting as the choice of the county, and a& a gentle man worthy of nomination by the district convention. They begged to be excused f. om naming the other man from their county, but would place before the convention, the names of the most prominent candidates in their county convention, and let the district convention decide between them which should be the man. They then placed in nomination the name of Col. 8. VV. Harris and he was unanimously elected. The names then of Judge Z. Bonner, Capt. L. Kendrick and Dr. R. L. Rowe, were put in nomination. On the first bal lot the vote was pretty equally divi ded. On the second. Dr, R. L Rowe received just u two-thirds vote and hence was declared the nominee. A resolution was passed requesting the delegates to the district conven tion, from the several counties, to no tify the nominees of their respective counties, of their nomination and re quest an acceptance of the same. The convention then passed also, by a unanimous vote, the fol lowing resolutions, after which it ad journed: Resolved, That in case of vacancy on the the nominated ticket by death or otherwise, the citixeus of the* coutiv ty in which the person so vacating shall reside, shall have authority to fill the- vacancy in any maimer they •think best. Resolved, That tin.' candidates uoni-’ mated for the convention be request ed to eauvass their respective conn., ties, as far as possible, in advocating the convention au.l explaining tlieii positions. In conclusion, we would state, that the utmost harmony prevailed in the convention, throughout its Session. Everything passed off agreeably and pleasantly. - -» -» Troup county was represent, and in the district convention by JT Waterman, E A Reid, L L Hardy and B L Har ris. The latter gentleman presided over the convention, iu quite an ac ceptable manner, and made a speech just before ndjour ling, which pul him decidedly on the retrench ment and reform platform. . 1 T 1 resident Hayes has issued his proclamation convening and extra October*- CoDgress "P OO the lsth of Old papers for sale at 60 cents tier oaodred at tbit cfljoet Toomb’s Trumpet Tones. TUB ANTE'BF.LLUM VETERAN RUSHES IN TO THE THICKEST OF THE VU»IIT. Washington, Ga., April 26, 1877. Dear Bir— Your leiter.it the 17th ult. requesting my ‘views upon the subject of calling a convention of the ! people’ to icview the present recog nized constitution ot this state, has | been duly received. Other pressing \ engagements have delayed this reply, j I do not know a single reason against the call and the public security and safety demands it. The existing con stitution is not the act or deed of the people ot Georgia. It was forced up- I on them by force and fraud, large | numbers ot her most worthy, intelli gent and virtuous citizens were deni ed the privelege even of voting for members of the convention who with but tew exceptions, were hungry, hos tile, alien enemies, domestic traitors and ignorant and vicious emancipated slaves. The last legislamre passed an act to allow the people to meet in con vention ami review the work ot these military appointees, and to amend, change, and alter it, or accept it it they like it, and thus make it their organic law. It is a public shame that this permission was not given by the first free legislature and its successor which met after the flight of Bullock. Every other one ot our sister provin ces exeicised the right as soon as they were able to do so, and have g;eatly benefited themselves by so doing. The present government of Georgia is a usurpation. It has no moral or legal claims to the support or obedi ence ot the people. It is wanting in the consent ot the people, the founda tion stone ot all rightful government. Therefore it is a public shame, suppor ted only by base and wicked men for selfish purposes. But independent of the workmen, the work is not good. The present constitution denies the right of the states, subordinates them to the agent, the federal government, asserts in effect that this is a consoli dated government, and that we owe primary allegiance to the the United States/ We deny it. Let us assert the truth and maintain it when we can, or leave the truth to be defended by our t hildren and children’s children when ever opportunity offers. The people wish to review the executive depart ment of the government. Its tenure is considered by many too long and its patronage too great. Its power over the judiciary department presents formidable objections to it. The judi ciaiy system itself is defective—total ly inadequate to a speedy and impar tial trial ot either criminal or civil oa ses. The jury system is vicious and subjects the country to constant dan ger. The old grand jury system was far preferable to the present. The legislative department demanded re view by the people. The senate is a mockery and a nuisance. It has gen erally defended all the abuses of the corrupt rule of Bullock and his gang, the instruments of all corrupt organi zations to deplete the public treasury and use the public credit for the pro motion of local and personal objects, and not for the general weal. It is true there have been a considerable number of able and honest patriT otic men in that body, but too few to defeat the greater portion—or estab lish a sound policy for the state on many great and vital questions. It has defeated the call ot a convention tor four years, and last winter sought to defeat it by annexing various’condi tions to the bill. The senate insisted upon submitting the call to the people hoping to rally ignorant treedmen.— All the remnant ol the Bullock gang both inside and outside of the demo cratic party; all the friends of spuri ous bonds, all ‘developers of resources’ generally to defeat the convention.— They remembered that the call tor the present constitution was not submit ted to the people, but was the work of ‘sabre sway.’ Besides the represen tation in the senate is grossly unequal. It is neither based upon population, territory, protection ot all interests, nor upon any sound basis of represen tation. It is purely arbitrary, and was intended by its authors to perpetuate as long as possible the power of the usurpers in spite of the people. The tenure of officu is long, and ought to be shortened. Let the people meet in convention and try to adopt a better system. But the greatest detect in the constitution is that it does not protect the property of the people against in vasion ot the legislative power. It is true that was the defect in our old constitution as well as the present one. The same causes have greatly increas ed the danger from this source. Tn all tree representative governments, the failure to limit by organic law the power of the legislative departments have brought the federal and state governments and municipal corpora tions to the verge ot bankruptcy, and impoverished and ruined the people. This has been the most fruitful source of ail our calamities. We must re-mark and plainly define the dividing line between individual rights and public authority. The age in which we live has developed new r dangers to free representative governments. Even the inventions and discoveries of ge ; nius ol the arts and sciences with their new betirfits and blessings to mankind ! have also brought dangers to good 1 governments This is specially true lof those inventions and discoveries ! which contribute so largely to the ! production and distribution of wealth and the spreading of intelligence aiming men and nations. The im provements in the application of the illimitable power of steam and the utilisation of electricity nre especially noteworthy elements in their effect up on modern society and government.— They have made great associations of capital, innumerable tud gigantic cor porations necessary tor their dvelop meut. These corporations with large capitals are powerful, and therefore dangerous to society. They first ab sorb individual capital*—all right , enough-then they can borrow still still right enough—and next the treas uries of municipal corporations, public lands and all other public property, then the treasuries credit ot the na tional and state governments. This is all wrong, violates justice, transfers I he sweat of the poor to the coffers ot the rich, appropriating the public funds to private use and profit,-opens the floodgate of fraud and public de moralization. What is the remedy tor these great evils and dangers? We must find it somewhere or abandon representative government; we have seen congiess corrupted, slate legisla tures corrupted, city authorities cor rupted, all of our guards of public property and private credits corrup ted, anew power is discovered and political burglary is enrolled among the useful arts ot government. The remedy is plain and sufficient for all these things. We can accept uo other security but this. We must put it out of the power of our rulers to injure society if they wish to do it. Let us make anew constitution, by that con stitution make the depository ot the public treasure and public credit po litical burglar-proof and put the key in the pockets ot the people by de claring that no debt shall ever be cre ated by the legislature or binding up on the state except tor the public de fence, that the stats- shall never be bound tor ‘the debt, default or mis carriage ot another.’ This will save the people and the state from ruin.— Nothing else will and it must be done now or we may be too late. Munici pal corporations should be confined to their own limits and not permitted to indorse at all or borrow, except for the good government ot their respec tive corporations. The principal pur pose and necessity tor a call of a con vention is to consider these and such others as the people may desire. All acknowledge the e.'ils. What pres ent reason can be found against the proposed search for a remedy by the people? The people have demanded it again and again, almost unanimous ly through their house of representa tives and all the recognized exponents of popular will. Thu people have spoken, let the convention meet.— What are the objections to it? The covert enemies of the convention those who hope to profit bv its abuses, in cluding others >vho have nut well con sidered the nVatier have suggested many. The principal one is that the convention might euiauger the home stead law. One of my own great ob jections to the present constitution is that it does not secure a sound, Sub stantial, real homestead to the women and children cf the state. I want such a measure. It is far better for for society that the women and chil dren ot the state should be secured an ample and sufficient homestead where they can be comfortable and happy, and the children can support them selves and be brought up Under virtu ous influences, than to be thrown on society, houseless and homeless and pennyless, outcasts and wanderers subject to all the temptations to crime in its worst form, and finally to be come tenants of jails and poor houses. Let us demand such a homestead ot the convention; it will injure nobody; it will only withdraw from trade and traffic crime or misfortune, a sacred sanctuary, dedicated to humanity. — The details may be safely trusted to a convention of the people. We have no such homestead. It may be wa»v ed by the head ot the family. It is but a life estate in the head ot the family, and an estaie for years only in minors and terminates at arriving at age. It is a sham, but even such as it is, the objectors well know that such rights as have been acquired under it are so secure that no convention could trouble them if they wished to do it. The objection is only intended to de ceive the ignorant and unwary, But it is also objected that the convention may remove the capital from Atlanta. Well, snppo-e they do, shall the sup* posed personal interest of a few thous and people weigh a feather against a good constitutution wieh will protect the rights, liberties and properties of all. Away with such nonsense. This is not true reason. The new constitus tion would certainly dispose of all fu ture bond questions, there would he no further use for the lobby. Make your constitution right and then there will b& but. one remaining question as to the capital and that would simply be the comfort and convenience of our public servants in discharging public trusts. Atlanta would have no competition ir. such a contest. It is not worth a thought with freemen. — Some of the not very ardent triends of the convention have taken anew dis ease, which a distinguished senator, calls the ‘apprehensions.’ They tear that the convention will put them selves aud everybody else in jail for debt; will establish Moses’ mode of punishment, and do divers other old and wicked things if ever people let them come togther at Atlanta to con sider their organic law. I believe it is not the practice of organcic laws to adopt penal codes, that has hitherto considered the \ tculiar province of the legislature, and we are content Jlhat it shall remain there. But per haps the wicked flee when no man pursueth. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R Toomih. Col. L. N. Trammell, Dalton, Ga. Special Correspondence of the Carroll County Times. Our Washington Letter. SILVER. The Treasury r ffioials are somewhat alarmed at the Legislature of Ohio which recently passed a legal tender act making silver receivable for eilher } public or private debts to any amount within the State. This may be a wise Cf-nrse, but it is thought by Secretary Sherman to be exceedingly ill advised, as being calculated to retard full and compute specie resumption. As the Legislature ot Illinois is about to fol low the example of Ohio, knowing onus aurmioe it is a political dodge tc unite the inflationists cf both parties in carrying those States at the com ing local election, Democratic. It is rumored in this city among the wise acres that the Kepresentatives from the West at the coming session, will demand a national law to this effect. Sec. Sheriuan is opposed to this bi metalie policy, and declares his inten tion to give it his earnest opposition in Congress, and prevent, it possible, its adoption. The new administration had hope that silver would be kept from local politics and as efforts would be made into the financial policy ot the general government, so that it could be observed whether or not the path we are now following would lead us to such a specie standard that gold, silver, and notes would Dirculate upon an equal tooting as :n times of yore. A BIU. is in course ot preparation, and will be introduced in the House at the ex tra session, reducing the army to 10,- 000 men, thereby effecting a saving to the government of many millions ot dollars. Now that the Indian wars are at an end, and the troops ai e to be used uo longer for police duty in the Southern States, we contend there is no need ot a standing army in lliis country, and it should bo abolished altogether, and make a big retrench ment that will be ot some good to our Uncle Sam’s pocket, TEXAS PACIFIC. It is confidently asserted that ‘the President’ will in his message to Congress, at the coming extra session, recommend as a part of his [South ern policy, ‘The Texas Pacific R. R.’— Nothing that he could do would bo more popular with the Southern 'mem bers as well as the Southern people, than such a recommendation. They hive been so wrought upon by this enterprise that they look to the com pletion of this road as the dawn of their prosperity. There is scarcely an ambitious little towu from the Poto mac to the gulf that does not expect to profit by it in a more or less de gree, and the politicians and business men get almost as much excited on this subject as over the wrongs inflicts ed by carpet bag governments. THE SOUTH CAROLINA CUXAKD. The write! ot the letter detailed the alleged murder ot the colored preach er Scott, in South Carolina, which threw the New England conference in such spasms of indignation, was Alon zo Webster, postmaster at Orange burg, S. C. As it has since appeared that Scott was only not murdered, but no attempt was male to do so. Our Post Master General is now inquiring ot Webster how and why he connect ed himself with such a transaction and thereby reflecting upon the Depart ment and its proper uses, and it is believed the P. M. will have to stop ‘down and out.’ GOV. MC CORMICK. A good story is told ot the assistant Secretary. One ot his eyelids has a tendency to irregular closing. In a recent interview with two pretty girls who were applicants for positions.— He treated both very politelv, but cane neither much encouragement. When they came out one said to the other ‘well it looks blue fo>* us dont it’ ‘yes' was the reply ‘it may look blue tor you, but I t hink I am all right tor when he was discovering you he was winking at me as much as to say, ‘you don t believe what I am telling her.’ ASPIRING YC UNO DOCTORS. Any number of young doctors all over the countiv have written to the Turkish and Russian Ministers here, offering then services for position on the army medical staff of die two gov ernments. Neither of the embassa dors has the power to accept such ot fers, bill should the war continue long the applicants may receive considera tions and yet icalize their brightest visions. THE REPUBLICAN AX. S. 11. Colbath. a brother of the late Vice-President* Wilson, has been dis missed from his position of doorkeep er of the Senate, and given to a per son who can command more present influence. FrotnaCol(d) bath to a cold shoulder. 'Twas even thus. So in the Treasury reduction the luck less weight whose political influence was departed by death or other cause, was ordered to take up his bed and walk, as Mb Sherman hid no further use for him. Ciyil service is a most admirable retoi rn to those who are backed bv prominent politicians. Rut the reform dors not apply to the Clerk wtio has nothing but individual merit to recommend him, LOUISIANA. There is a strong probability now that the true inwardness of the Louis iana returning board proceedings will in a short time be made public. Pack ard feels much embittered against Hayes, and those who know him best say that since he has threatened cer tain exposures, he will be as good as his word. The principle interest at tach#! to the confession of Packard, Wells, Anderson & (Jo , will be their recital ol ill- ir seciet transactions with certain leading Republicans. Now that the parties to the villainy have fallen out there seems no room to question that board did actually re ceive a large sum of money from the Republican managers, besides the promise of lucrative Federal offices. Democrites. Washington, D. C., May 4, 1877. • —»«•>« ■ —• We place at the head of our col umns the names of the delegates nom mated by the convention at Franklin on last Tuesday. The ticket is a strong and acceptable one. • Mr. Aubrey, the candidate from Heard, we are assured, is an intelligeut farmer, a gentleman who will vote right, in case a convention is called, upon the questions that will come up for consideration in that convention. VV. O. Tuggle, one of the delegates from Troup, has given no little con sideration to the st idy of our state government and the best means of a.L ministering it, upon an economical schedule, and no man in the district is probably belter qualified, for the position of delegate to the convention than he is. N. G. Swauson and LL. Hardy, the other delegates from Troup are practical intelligent farmers men ot sense and worth, who have conect views of the reforms needed in our present organic law. Os our own delegates it is not nec essary for us to apeak. Our people are well acquainted with both of the gentlemen As to their position up on the questions that will come up for consideration in the constitutional convention, in case one is called, we leave them to speak for themselves.
