t!ic same.
The remarks of Mr. Trammel were
to the effect that the purpose ol Ash
bum's resolution was to crush out the
1 st vestige of civil government now
remaining in Georgia, and he hoped to
Fiive the State from a day so dark, and
would therefore urge upon the Con
vention the adoption of his substitute.
Jl there was no intention to wrest from
Gen. Meade the power he enjoys, and
if there was no want, of confidence in
the ability of that officer to forward in
a proper manner the matter of recon'
sirueiion, .ere was an opportunity to
so express themselves. I'iie issue was
a plain one, but it wouid not be met.
The triu purpose was plain to the
v xde country. There were vulture
b *aks seeming the 'flesh pots,’ and the
q i enii.xi >1 spoils would be brought to
an easy solution if the civil govern*
nient <>f Georgia could be swept out ot
existence—
Here Mr. Trammel was requested to
yield (lie lloor in order to have a read
ing of the Ashburr resolution, when
.Mr. Trammel gave way to Dr. H. V.
M. Miller, who desired to remark up*
on it, and did so at considerable
length. II is line of argument was able
and conclusive, and Ids opposition to a
scheme so mendacious was open and
in an IV, It was the legitimate business
of this Convention to make a Consti
tution for Georgia, but he had observ
ed, from day to day, no matter what
sort of a beginning was made in the
morning, that before two o’clock (the
hour for adjournment) arrived, the
Convention would veer around, and a
dash would he made at the Treasury,
o* some effort looking to the spoil s of
office roar its (Applause
in the lobby.) Tnat was a poor way
to make a Constitution. He alluded
to the letter of.John She-man, M. 0.,
read on the previous day, and criticis
ed it sentence by sentence. It seemed
that someone in the Convention had
intimated to that gentleman that there
were fears about reconstruction. How
afraid ? Not if personal violence, cer
tainly, for there was law, civil and
military, to protect every man. The
Convention was assuredly in peaceful
assemblage, and nothing within the
limits of tha State to make it afraid.—
Its duty was plain and specific?—the
military bill clearly stated what was to
be done. Then why had Mr. Slier*
man teen informed that fears were
entertained about reconstruction ! And
what more power did the Convention
want that Mr. Sherman should send
and request that it he asked for? (The
speaker pursued this at some length,
hut want ol space will not allow us to
1 .llow him.) Lit. thought the Ashburn
resolution was discourteous to General
Meade. In fact, it implied a want of
confidence in, anil amounted to little
* Ise than a direct insult to that distin
guished soldier. Lie eould not vote for
the resolution because it would be say
ing to Congress, to the country, and to
(Jen. Meade himself, that ho had no
confidence in him. He was not pre
pared to say that the General would
tiot I'.iitiifully perform his duties, for lie
! til not been tried, lie believed, and
hoped that he would. In regard to the
0 splaci meut of civil officers (the only
purpose of the resolution) Dr. Miller
said that such a step was not necessary
to the completion ol the work this body
had been created to do. There were
io the State about 6000 civil officers,
and should Congress be stupid enough
to trraot the power asked, it was utterly
impracticable for this Convention to
lid that number of places with loyal
men. It would take until the next
fl md to do it. From the difficulty
experienced in officering this body at
the outset, be was safe in asserting that
there would be wrangling for at least a
week, in many instances, in finding a
suitable person to fill a bailifl’s office,
not to mention others of more iinpor*
t nice and more pay. Thus it would
operate, and the idea of this Conven-
tion taking charge of the six thousand
civil offices in the State was too ab
surdly redicnlous to be entertained for
a moment ! The State ot affairs in this
once proud old commonwealth under
such a pretty reign of power would
indeed be amusing! (Applause in the
lobby, when J. E. Bryant asked that
the lobby be cleared. Chair said such
would be done it it was not stopped.)
Think of the aspirants, continued the
speaker, w hose claims would at once
he urged for the Gubernatorial Chair.
njj man who happened to be within
the borders of the State would be eligi
ble. It did not matter, under the reso
lution, if he had only resided here 1J
hours. A gentleman from I imbuctoo,
Katuschatli a. or the chief of the Ara
pahoe Indians, il he should chance to
get the inside track, would step into the
chair of the State Executive. Even
the leader of the Savannah delegalir n
( Aaron Alpeoria) might be placed in
the position, lie could not find lan
guage to depict a proposition so im
measurably rediculou* / (Repeated ap-
plause in the lobby.)
G. W. Ash bum arose to inquire it
civil officers were not required to take
an oath ? And if so. had those now in
position taken that oath. If they had
not were they legal officers? All who
had or could take it, were eligible and
might remain, perhaps. The resolu
tion said nothing about removals, and
be did not see why the gentleman from
j Fulton should harp ou that point so
! much.
Dr. .Miller replied that she present
officials were in position and had not
taken such oaths; and while tiie reso
lution did not say as much, a man with
one idea could see taut no one ol them
! could retain their places u”der the
I resolution. They wire men of honor,
I and would not perjure tiiPinfelves. —
I They differed from the multitude now
j clamoring for displacement, for they
could swear to anything—could take
any oath. (Ashburn in constant in
terruption, aided by several negro
delegates.) The absurdity he contin
ually heard about there being no law in
Georgia was all wrong. We had the
! laws Georgia always had—provisional
though they he. Everything done was
legal, for the very Military bill which
i created this body made it so. Over*
! throw the present civil government of
Georgia and this Convention becomes a
body en permanence. It must remain
in session to wield the Legislative and
Judiciary power of the State.
Ashburn said that this Convention
would remain in session until Georgia
was restored to the Union.
“Precisely.” replied Dr. Miller. “I
am obliged to the gentleman for his
canJor. lam well aware that uis not
the purpose of this Convention to ad
journ. If the people ol Georgia reject
the Constitution, here you will remain
in perpetuity to grind tiie already
downtrodden people—and to further
wrong and outrage them. Such a pro
gramme is monstrous , violative of every
principle ol civil liberty, and can only
end monarchy! Your Constitution is
mere clerical labor until the people of
the Stale shall give it vitality. The
Military bill imposes that task upon
them. The people were indifferent
about the Convention, and hence the
small vote upon the question. They
knew that it was left them to condemn
or approve its action, and they held
hack to vote on tiie Constitution, and
lie thanked God that Gen. Mead told
this Convention yesterday that the
people should have a fair chance to
decide the question at the ballot boy..
The power sought by the resolution
he free to tax without limit, control,
and ruin this or ce great State. (Con
stantly interrupted by Ashburn.) It
was an eflort ol persons now in acci~
dental position to usurp power. (In
terrupted by half dozen negro dele
gates.) We stand here not the repre
sentatives of the property of Georgia,
and it becomes us to use care how we
usurp rights, or interfere with that
property and people. The form ol
government sought to be set up by the
resolution is worse than the mind ot
man ever before conceived. It is a
species of Jacobinism ot which the
people ol Georgia should he warned in
time. The people should know that
this Convention, instead of confining
itself, to its 1 gitiinate business of mak
ing a Constitution, seeks to wield a
power not belonging to it, and a power
that will ruin them. (Dunning and
Ashburn both rose to a question..) It
was boldly charged outside that this
Convention does not [impose to make
a Constitution that the people cun ac
cept. 1 the people should reject, the
Convention would not care, for the
power would be in its hands. He did
not charge that such was its intention,
but was compelled to admit that the
proposed measure looked that way, and
he desired to lift his voice against it,
and he would to God that he could
make it resound in the halls of Con
gress. [The reporter regrets that lie
can give but an imperfect report of Dr.
Miller’s able and rnanlv speech.]
A. T. Akerrnan followed, lie de
sired to approve much that the gentle
man had said. It was evidently the
purpose of the Convention to get pos
session of all the offices in the Stales.
There were, in his opinion, but two
persons who had the power to remove
civil officers —Meade and Giant. lie
thought some officers should be re
moved, and would he, hut lie was
opposed to the Ashburn resolution.—
Mr. Akerman’s remarks were extended
to some length, but want of space will
not permit us to follow him. He
concluded by offering an amendment
to the Ashburn resolution, in the event
it should pass, to the effect that nr,
man in this Convention shall accept a
civil office.
J. E. Bryant made a rambling speech
in defence ot the measure, during the
delivery of which Mr. Waddell asked
him if be would accept the Akerman
amendment. This question lie evaded
at the time, but being subsequently,
pressed to an answer, said that s > far
as he was individually concerned he
would. Mr. Trammel inquired if he
would accept the Military Bill as it is,
and close the whole argument. Bry
ant dodged again, and promised to
answer alter a while. He thought the
government set up in 1865 should be
abated ; it was troublesome ; he wanted
to know if ibis was a legal body—ts
this Convention or tiie disloyal gov-
ernment of the State is to have the
power. It is a vital question, and
should be decided. Let us remove the
men now in office, put our friends in
their stead, and a vast difference would
be made in votes in the ratification
election. General Sheridan was thir
man for him —he had the nerve to act.
He had heard that General Rousseau
would be sent to command this Dis
trict. and bis course would prove sim
ilar to that of Hancock. He would not
favor the resolution if be bad any
assurance that Gen. Meade would re
main here, but down would corne Gen.
Uosseau to ride rough-shod over the
people of Georgia. Therefore, let us
act now while we have the power —it
is necessary to our salvation. He
wanted the Constitution ratified, and it
would be done if the proper measures
were taken. The proposed measure
would have that effect, and so we must,
adopt it. It is the opinion of very
distinguished men that this Convention
should be paid out of the Stale Treas
ury, yet an order to that end has been
tn-ated tv it If contempt. Here is an
obstruction to our operations, and we
should not hesitate to remove it. We
are charged with an effort to get our
hands into the Treasury. Well, is it
not better that tlxsa hands should be
loyal than disloyal? Os course, lie
would admit that me power which the
resolution asks for should not be grant
ed save under extraordinary circum
stances, and surii now surround us.—
The emergency is an extraordinary
one. It must be met. He favored a
postponement of the question until
Monday. As the gs mleroan was tak
ing his seat, Mr. Waddell pressed his
question as to the Military bill, when
Bryant answered (hat he would, with
some alterations or amendments, or
changes.

Attcuiioal- People of Harlow.
A Convention, for the purpose of or
ganizing the Union Conservative Club
for the county of Barlow, will be he’d
in Cartersville, on the first Tuesday
in Febuary next. Each Militia District
jn the county is requested to hold
preliminary meetings and appoint dele

One of the Ga. Convention white delegates
offered some resolutions in that body, on last
Tuesday, making the qualifications of voters
hinge upon being able to read the Bible and
Constitution, provided that no free person of
color be allowed to-hold any office in the state,
and furthermore prohibiting the intermarriage
of whites and negroes, upon a penalty of from
ten to twenty years imprisonment in the pen
itentiary or exiled to Africa or Liberia, both
on the part of the parties marrying and the
officer who performes the ceremony. Efforts
were made, on the part of the sable members
and their Citerfds, to squelsh the reading of the
villainous document, but without success.—
Great indignation and wrath was manifested
during its reading, it was decided out of order
under the rule and was dismissed, when two
or three negroes moved that the author him
self be sent to Liberia.
Tiie Acws.
The latest intelligence from the City of
Washington is that Staunton has walked into
the War Office and taken his seat, with his
pockets full of greenbacks, drawn for pay du
ring his suspi nsion from the functions of his
office, and that he had issued his orders tak
ing control ot matters about that chebing,
and that Gen. Grant had gone about his bu
siness, leaving Mr Staunton to keep house,
while President Johnson was setting cross
legged at the White House wondering what
would *urn up next-.
Gen. Pope has been sent to the lakes.
It is understood tha t lhe President will not
recognize Mr. Staunton, in any way ; and that
charges of insubordination hang* over Gen
Giant. Great excitement about it,
An Address-
We publish, on the first page of our
paper, an address from the committee
appointed by the Stale Union Conser
vative Convention, recently hi Id in
Macon, Ga, to the people of the Slate
It is an able and unanswerable docu
ment and, we trust, will be read and
pondered by every citizen of the State
that it mey constitute the future basis
of action in reference to the momente
ous questions that now agitate the pub
lic mind.
It is characterized by the pure spir
it of American statesmanship, and is in
consonance with the spirit ot Constitu
tional Liberty and republican institu
tions. It is not expedited in any spir.
it oi partisan prejudice, but from the
out-gushings of honest hearts prompted
by the love of that sacred instrument
known as the Constitutionofthe United
States and the execution of the laws
under it. It is not the reflex of opin
ions entertained by a clique of design
ing demagogues for the perpetuation of
party ends, but the sentiments of
true and tried men beating responsive
to the requirements of justice and equi
ty, It prospectively scans the whole
political arena, and sets forth truths as
immutable as holy writ, and suggests
plans and policies by which the Re
publican Government of the compact
known as the United States of Amer
ica can be perpetuated and handed
down unimpaired to our posterity for
generations to come. 'This is the ob-
ject and the only object for which it
was indited. It remains to be seen
whether the order-loving and peace-a- j
biding citizens of the empire State of
the Sou.h will still cling to the patriot
ic principles of their illustrious forefa
thers, who sealed their devotion to
these principles with their blood, or
whether they will let the madness of
the day over-ride their judgements, and
doggedlv abandon these principles ar.d
tie on to a party whose whole powers
are pledged to their everlasting over
throw. Let us consider well a gov
ernment founded upon the principles
of Justice and Wisdom, propelled alone
by the power derived from the love of
office and the accomplishment of self-
“Sonny, dear, you havp a very dir
ty face.” “Can’t help it, marm, dad’s
a black Republican.”
Removal of the Governor.
One stroke of the pen of tiie Military
commander of this District has deprived
the State of Georgia of her lawful Gov-i
ernor and Treasurer. The very last
semblance of State authority is thus
swept away and Georgia is a Military
province. The entire machinery of
State administration and legislation is
changed to suit ideas which are foreign
to the good people this quondam i
State. A Milne* « officer of the Uni- j
ted States army is now the Chief Exe- ;
outivc and a rabble Con vent ion is the
legislative power. Neither the execu-
tive nor die Convention is in sympathy
with die people. They do not under
stand their wants and if they did are
totally indisposed to meet them.
No sensible man believes that Gov.
Jenkins in anywise opposes reconstruc
tion or that ins official action obstructs
that desirable result. But every body
does know he tried to keep Radical fin
gers from clutching the monay of the
State couira-v to law. The State had
better use for her funds than to employ
them in th u hire of a number of negroe s
at nine dollars per day to sit in a Con
vention so called. She could make
details enough of the required color from
her penitentiary to answer the purpose
at no cost at all except the usual
rations.
But the deed has been done, and it
will he remembered. Fhere a.e names
now conspicuous in Georgia history
which no true man would bear who
wishes to transmit a fair memory to
his posterity and these are days which
the chronicles will refer to a3 the age
of greatest odium in the annals of this
country.

With tiie aid of the microscope in

ible to the naked sight may he seen,—
Our scientific men call these little crea
tures animalculae and have vexed them
selves a great deal to discover and ex
plain tlie purposes for which they were
created. In general they are agreed
that these insignificant things ate scav
engers which do a great deal of the
dirty work of the world, while a hirae
class of them are breeders of decav and
rottenness in every thing which they
infest. So also in the genus Homo we
discover without microscopic assistance
a pestiferous sot of H-.tmolculae who are
at this day specially visible particularly
scavengeous, and wonderfully prolific
in the matter mentioned above. One
has only to look over the daily news
papers to find their oft repeated names,
and if he is curious or at all interested
in scientific enquiry let him spend one
day in Atlanta where he can inspect a
mass of the little things at work. This
is the day of small men and their bad
deeds. The great and good men of the
State are not only out of power but
their wise counsels, their enlarged pat
riotism, are unavailable to the State.—
the Ilomoleulae ol various lengths and
colors are working in and through the
body politic ofa dead State, feasting
and fattening on the putridity of their
own creating. We do not covet their
place nor envy them their stomachs'
Uiieinplojedlegrocs.
Already does the Radical rule begin
to tell sadly on the deluded negro, who
is likely to become a miserable victim
of the folly of his pretended friends.—
But for Radical legislation against
Southern agricultural and Commercial
interests every able bodied negro man,
woman and ehild throughout the South
would to-day have been constantly em
ployed at remunerative wages. But in
their venom against the Southern plan
ter, the Radicals have ruined the pros
pects of the negro. He is literally in a
starving conditon in a large part of the
South and is hopelessly poor every
where. Employment for these labo
rers is not being offered for the current
year and their labor last year left nei
ther them nor their employers any sur-
plus after expenses were paid. Wiio
is so blind as not to see that all tins re
sults from the embarrassment which the
Radicals have created ! Much of the
negroes indisposition to labor has been
caused or encouraged by the false iiopes
whispered to him by bis treacherous
friends :—lnfilled radical Currency has
aided to keep everything which he had
to buy exclusively high : and radical
taxation, and that radical management
which has inspired the ballanee of the
world to compete with us in cotton
culture have all joined together to cause
a short crop and to bring the price oj
that Staple below a remunerative rate.
Hence the Radicals are working to
keep the negro forever in abject, squal
lid poverty. He is adrift, now, w ithout
shelter, without employment, without
money, without clothes and without
food. Will he continue to follow hi?
task master? Yes he will, until he and
they go down together.

Augcl I’Qotprints.
BY FANNIE WAYLAND.
Every little kindness,
Every deed ol love,
Every little action
Prompted from above —
E'en a cup of waWr,
In His great name given ;
These are angels’ footprints
Leading up to Heaven.
Every little sacrifice
Made tor others’ weal,
Every wounded brother
That we stride to heal,
E’en a word of ki dn ss
To mis ortune given—
All ure angels’ footprints,
Leading up to Heaven.
Then let angels lead us
Whereso’er they would;
Even let them teach us
What is tor our good ;
May they cross our pathway
When from Heaven they roam,
Let us follow aiter
Footprints leading home.
Artemus Ward said that the man
who wrote “I’m saddest when laing,”
was a tool to sing much.
