The Convention in Georgia.
The Convention for the State of
Georgia, will, doubtless, be soon con
vened. From an examination of the
list of delegates, which we publish in
this paper, it will be seen that there are
thirty-three colored and one hundred
and thirty-three white delegates fleeted
to the convention. We have some rea
son to hope, from the names of gentle
men whom we recogniz j in the list, and
who wield a great influence in legisla
tive bodies, that the deliberation of the
Convention will be tempered by mod
eration and reason. If the Constitu
tion, to be adopted for Georgia, is not
too eggregeously obnoxious to our
people, we doubt not its ratification by
the people. But an enlightened judg
ment would dictate that an expression
of opinion should be withheld until the
work is done. If at all acceptable let
the people ratify it, but if too oppress
ive and burdensome, then let the peo
ple—the voters —of Georgia, set too
their solemn protest, but not go before
unto condemnation. What we want
most is the restoration of Georgia to
her w onted place in the galaxy of
States, upon an honorable and equita
ble basis. Not a Union cemented by
bayonets, but of hearts and hands.—
The South can promise herself nothing
until this restoration and union is ef
fected. She is now suffering in all her
interests, both public and private, on
account of her disintegration. Once
again restored in the Union upon, at
least, respectable terms, peace and
prosperity will again flow to her bor
ders, which will oil the wheels of
progression and stimulate the energies
of the people. When the Convention
convenes, we hope that reason will rule
the hour—not passion, prejudice, nor
spirit of revenge. Let us be patient
and hopeful, determined to do what is
right, nothing more, nothing less. Let
us avoid extreme men and measures,
and act in reference to the future wel
fare of our country, people, and gov
ern me lit Let crimination rpm.in.i
illation cease, and if the teims dictated
be sticii as we can accept, let us accept
them, it too intolerably obnoxious,
reject them and submit to the conse
quences.
Tlie Alabama Convention,
This Convention is now in session,
at Montgomery, and we have been
pretty closely investigating its pro
ceedings, in order to form an idea ol
what the Conventions succeeding it will
be likely to adopt. The Convention
in our State, for instance, supposing
that all the unrepresented States will
be apt to incorporate similar peovisions
and ordinances in the Constitution to
be drafted by said Conventions for their
respective States, Most of what has
been done, however, up to the present,
has been submitted to committees.—
Among the measures is one to revoke
all contracts based upon Confederate
money, especially in reference to guar
dians, trustees, Administrators, Execu
tors, &c., who invested funds in con
federate securities, and give minors
and orphans possession of real and per
sonal estate sold under an order of tiie
Confederate Government, This was
submitted to the committee.
An ordinance to declare the State
Government of Alabama null and void
after an expiration of thirty days, and
the offices to be filled by appointment
and election, by those who can take
the test oath.
‘■By Mr. Ilaygley, AYhereas, since
tilt JOtli day of January, 1801, no legal
government lias existed in Alabama;
and whereas, such illegal or pretended
government as now exist therein is ad
ministered by men who have been ele
vated to power and authority on account
of servitude rendered in behalf of trea
son end rebellion; and whereas, said
pretended government does not ade
quately protect loyal men in there rights
ot iite, liberty end property.
Therefore, liesolvcd, That this Con.
venUon should proceed to organize a
Provisional Government for the State,
and to tins end all important offices in
the State should be declared vacant
within thirty days after the first day of
Dec.. ISG7. Also, that a Provisional
Governor should be appointed by this
Convention, whose first duty should be
to till by appointment all offices thus
vacated, with competent men who can
take and subscribe the oath prescribed
by Congress. Also, that during the
exisunce of said Provisional Govern
ment, and after the various offices are
filled as provided by the preceeding
resolution, all vacancies occurring in
slid offices shall be filled by election.
Provided, however, that no person shall
be eligible to fill any office whatever
under said Provisonal Government who
cannot lake and subscribe the aforesaid
oath.
It was moved and feeoned that the
resolution be laid on the table. The
ayes and nays were called, and resul
ted, 25 ayes, 47 nays. The resolution
was thereupon referred to the appro
priate committee.”
An ordinance was submitted to the
appropriate committee to derlare who
shall vote on the ratification of the Con
stitution to be drafted, when again sub
mitted to the people. The committee
made two reports, a majority and a
minority report, as follows :
“The majority report disfranchises
all who refused to vote for or against
Constitution, when submitted to llie
people, and is otherwise proscriptive,
These reports were made the special
order for Wednesday.
That laborers have a lien upon the
crops and all personal property of their
employers for wages due; that said lein
shall have precedence of all others, ex
cept for rent and supplies. Referred
to committee.
Mr. Gregory, a resolution that the
Committee on Preambles and bill of
rights be requested to incorporate in
their report a special ordinaucc abol
ishing and removing all laws, regula
tions or customs, heretofore or at pres
ent in existence, wherein distinctions
are made on account of color, race or
caste, or formes condition of servitude,
with such penalties as the committee
may deem just and proper. Referred
to committee as asked,
Mr, Carrawav, (colored) a resolution
that provisions be made by appropriate
committee for the protection of colored
orphans. Referred.
Mr. Carraway, (colored) offered a
resolution, which was adopted, requir
ing the Sergeant-at-Arms, and Door,
keeper to make suitable arrangements
for the accommodation of ladies, who
wish to visit the convention, Adopted.
By Mr. Graves, an ordinance, to-wit:
Be it ordained tfee., That such real
property as may be selected by the
head of the family, to include the home
stead, it desired by the head of the
family, be, and is hereby exempt from
levy and sale for debt, except for taxes
on the same.
Provided, That such homestead shall
not exceed eighty acres, and ill value
not above fifteen hundred dollars; Re
ferred to Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Garrison, a resolution that the
Committee on Finance and Taxation
be requred to report that no citizen
shall be required to pay poll tax. and
that lhe revenue of the State shall be
raised off of the property of the State
according to value, Relered to Com
mittee on Finance and Taxation, as
asked.”
These are only a few of the meas
ures proposed by the Convention,
which we give, in order to enable our
readers to form some conception of the
work of a convention, llow these
measures may terminate —which amen
ded, revised and adopted, will ohly be
revealed by time,

Sir : As there is stiil quite an amount
of abandoned properly on ycur returns,
and much of it occupied by the former
owners, who abandoned it according to
the definition of the law, and who
through contempt of the Government
of the United States and the President’s
authority, decline to make any appli
cation, under the orders approved by
him, for its restoration, you are hereby
directed to give notice to all such
persons, through your officers and
agents, that their property, coming un
der the above head of abandoned lands
held by the Government, and now on
your returns, will be taken formal
possession of on the first of January
next, and lented to refugees and freed
men in accordance with the provisions
of the law. In case they make appli
cation in accordance with the law,
formal restoration will be immediately
made and reported to this o'ffice.
