Constitutional Convention.
As tLis qne.lion will probably engage the seri
ous attention of the Legislature, at (ts next annu
al seflion, we Oder our readers a few suggestions
on tbe subjech A question of such magnitude—
involving great politic-;! p 'Reifies and the gener
al weal—should be i is cm sed by the prets in a
bold, bank, and candid manner, in order that our
Legislators may <-i.te upon its consideration with
all 'he ai! o: ;tu Ct.bgt- en and public rpinior.
In erdt-: t t iv-- arc me ption of the ques
tion, .' v.. :-y to review, briefly, the
history t;i- , \fm tti close of the war be
tween she Si i'i s, th ad; p'.icn of the Constitu
tion of 1868.

the suit v... si, ; .; . i.tly n -lo til lo her fo. uier
relatiotib v% r■ t ■.. . Aral GoV;i uint-Dt. When
Congress met, further illegal and base txaciiOLS
were made, which resulted in the calling of an
other Convention, and, by its acts and the mas
teriy coercion of Congress, the newiy enfranchised
were allowed to vote. A third State Convention
assembled end adopte3 the present Constitution,
which war submitted to a vo.'e of the people iu
April, 1808. A tbite days’ election was held for
its ratification, and tor the election of State and
county officers under its provisions. A registia
tion of voters was required under military dicta
tion, the registrars being appointed by the same
corrupt and base power. A large uumber of the
most able, experienced and worthy citizens of the
State were disfranchised. It was alleged and
charged that immense frauds were perpetrated,
by what was called “repeating," against which
there was no possible remedy in a three days’
election—in fact the innovation was conceived
and execuled for the avowed purpose of furnish
ing an opportunity for the practice of this fraud.
The truth is, a three days’ election ua6 foited
upon the people of the reconstructed States alone
—for what other sensible and tenable reason could
the innovation have been made?
A large, indeed preponderating majority of
those who voted for the ratification of the Consti
tution, were ignorant, ii responsible, and corrupt,
and had no comprehension cr conception ot the
meaning of the word Constitution, much less the
provisions it contained. The whole instrument
might have been couched in a single line, which
would Lava clearly expressed tbe object, as they
thought, of their vote: “That each colored man
should get forty acres of land and a mule!" Such
was the mass ot voters who were in favor of the
ratification of the Constitution. But there were
a lew designing knaves aud ignoble villains, who
foisted themselves upon these deluded and sense
less creatures ns leaders. Their objeet was plun
der and jobbery. They differed but little trem
the predatory bauds of Dunes, who invaded
England, to desiroy aud ravage the effects ot
the people. Some of these creatures, outlawed
from sell-respect, and alienated from conscience
and honesty, were natives: others from thb North
—such as Bullock, the Kimballs, Blodgett & Cos.,
who are now sneaking and troweling from public
justice. These men were first class developers; and
if their dishonest souls and loathsome persons
should ever be caught within the jurisdiction of
the State, we donut cot but that our outraged and
wronged people would demand, at least, that the
lash of Grant, Alexander & Cos. should be applied,
and that the ignomiuy which they so richly de
serve, for the record of their accumulated and
and damnable offendings, should follow them
through life, aye, pursue them to the grave.
The eatch-vvords of Homestead aud Relief,, were
skill fully dovetailed into the Constitution, to de
lude, and thus gather tire support of the unfortu
nate class ol debtors, which included many of our
best citizens, who, without any fault of their own,
were left hopelessly involved by the results ol the
war. This smooth valley promised r. quick and
safe retreat from their difficulties; but
* * * “Like that Serbonian boy
’Twist Damietta aud Mouut Cassius old
Where armies whole have suuk.”
it only lured them to certain ruiu. Creditois, as
a general proposition, were willing after the war
to make liberal compromises, and debtors were
willing to respond, until “ this juggling fiend that
paltered in a double sense,” misled them. The
Supreme Court ot llic United States, by its decis
ions, lias stripped the Homestead aud Relief
laws of their benefits. Bankruptcy is the ouly
hope left, aud that is meagre and uncertain.
Now that the catch-words, which (aided by
fraudulent votes) contributed largely to the rati
fication of the Constitution, have been dispelled;
now that many ol the ring-leaders in its adoption,
are skulking and hiding iu stcrct places, and, to
escape the punishment due to their crimes, must
atay away; and now that a large number of the
purest, wisest, and best citizens of the State, who
were disfranchised by the fourteenth amendment,
have been eniranChised, is there any good reason
why the people of Georgia should uot in solemn
Convention alter, amend or ratify the fundamental
law, which is to be the rule of their conduct and
to which they mirnt look tor protection to life,
liberty and property ?
Six years, long and weary, marked with the
most wonderful political developments and the
ories known to history, have passed since the
adoption ot the Constitution. Passions have died
away, prejudices have changed, txperienoe has
pointed out many delects, an suggested many im
provements in our organic law; and above all,
time has confirmed the opinion that it does not
meet the approbation ot our people.
Governments were instituted for the protection
of society ; and constitutions are necessary to de
fine and limit its powers, and to prevent en
croachment upon the inherent and reserved
rights of the people. Like the testaceous cover
ing of a moluseeous animal, the constitution of
government should conform to, and fit the living
mass within. Growth and development in the
one, should be followed by expansion in the other.
Now it will not be denied that there has been
growth and development in public opinion In the
State, within the last six years.
Let us as men look the situation 6ternly in the
face, an enter upon the work, mindful of the
memories of the past, the realities of the living
present, and the promises of the future.
The timid and uncourageous may suggest that
there is danger of involving the State in re-re-con
struction by Congressional interference. New
York, and other Northern States, haye but recent
ly met in Convention and revised their Consiitu
tutions, with far less necessity, and no more con*
atitutional rights. As no one proposes to inter
fere with the rights of any on account of race,
color, or previous condition ot servitude, we
should not fear to discharge a duty which the
highest interest of all alike demands.
Postal Cards.— The British Post-office Depart
ment reluses to enter into any arrangement for
the exchange of postal cards with the United
States. They argue that “ the use of postal cards
is not popular among the English people; that
even the lower classes are not induced to use
them, although they are the cheapest, being jeal
ous of any device by which their correspondence
is open to public inspection. The British Post
office, therefore, prefers that the present rates of
ocean postage should be maintained, and if postal
cards are transmitted, they should be charged the
usual letter postage rates.”
A Qvietcs. —Hiram Powers, in his early days in
Cincinnati, wishing to put a quietus upon a scur
rilous, black-mailing sheet in Cincinnati, thrust
some burned-out matches and a few shavings un
der the door of ibe office, one evening, alter its
editor Lad gone away. The next afternoon the
paper had au article about the base attempt ol a
Tile incendiary to destroy the freedom of the press,
etc. The owner of the premises becoming alarm*
ed, expelled the libeller ; nobody else would rent
Lim any place to print the sheet for fear ol flie,
and so the paper,’as Powers had anticipated, was
forced to suspend.
Faith and Reason. —Faith says many things
concerning which reason is 6ilent, but nothing
which reason denies ; it is often above reason, but
never contrary to reason.

PAIN“KILLER.
HAS been tested in every variety ct climate and
by almost every nation known to Americans.
It is the constant companion and inestimable
friend of the nnssieuery and traveler, on the sea
or laud, and no one should travel on our Lakes or
Rivers, without it.
Since the PAIN KILLER was first introduced,
and met with such extensive sale, many "Lini
ments, Reliefs, Panaceas, aiul other Remedies
have been offered to the public, bat not one of
them has attained the truly enviable standing ol
the PAIN-KILLER,
Why is this So?
It is because DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER is what*it
claims to be, a Reliever of Pain.
ITS MERITS ARE UNSURPASSED.
If you are sufleiing from internal pain, Twenty
to Thirty Drops in a little water will almost in
stantly cure you. There is nothing to equal it for
COLIC, CRAMPS, SPASMS, HEART-BURN,
DIARRHEA, DYSENTERY, FLUX, WIND
IN THE BOWELS, SOUR STOMACH,
DYSPEPSIA, SICK HEADACHE, etc.
In sections of the country where
Fever and Ague
prevails, there is no remedy held in greater es
teem. Persons traveling should keep it by them.
A few drops in water, will prevent sickness or
bowel troubles from change of water.
From foreign countries the calls for PAIN
KILLER are great. It is found to Cure Cholera
when all other Remedies fail.
•When used externally, as a Liniment, nothing
gives quicker ease in Burns, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains,
Stings from Insects, and Scalds It removes the
fire and the wound heals like ordinary sores. The
suffering with Rheumatism, Gout or Neuralgia, if
not a positive cure, they lind tbe PAIN KILLER
gives them relief when no other remedy will.
It gives instant relief from Aching Teeth.
Every housekeeper should keep it at hand, and
apply it on the first attack of any pain. It will
give satisfactory relief and save hours of suffering,
Do not trifle with yourselves by testing untried
remedies. Be sure you always call for and get
the genuine PAIN KILLER, as many worthless
nostrums are attempted to be sold on the great
reputation of this valuable medicine.
