) THE (ONVKNTION, GREETING !
A Disgusted Sovereign Writes an Open
Letter to the Constitutional
Convention.
(For the Chronicle end Constitutionalist.)
Gentlemen of the Convention : A
friendly word or two with you. You
do not constitute the “ablest and most
intellectual body of men ever assembled
iu Georgia.” The provincial press has
told you this, and it is cruel to unde
eeivo you. But it is necessary. Your
autobiographies in pamphlet form have
deceived nobody, not even yourselves.
This device of an Atlanta bohemian
was a pleasant little prelude to your
labors, flattering to your personal van
ities, and altogether harmless to any
one, save the future readers of bio
graphical encyclopaedias. The mem •
hers of every Constitutional Conven
tion, save that of 18G7, were your peers
in everything, your superiors in many.
Even that military mulatto hybrid
contained men who have proved them
selves to be better Constitution tinkers
than yourselves. They have left upon
record the draft of an organic law
which you seem unable to equal or
surpass. You have been in session
eighteen days, have nearly exhausted
the legislative appropriation, and have
accomplished but one certain result,
viz : the rejection of your work by tne
people, of which you are but a fraction,
aud a vulgar one at that. You are not
really deficient iu intelligence or pa
triotism. Among you are some, emi
nent men. You all had been iu the
habit of going about among your
neighbors without special care or es
pionage, and your constituents and
masters had come to believe that you
were capable of attending to the ordi
nary duties of every day life. Because
you desired to go to the Convention,
they reluctantly sent you with fear and
trembling as to the result, and their
worst forebodings have been more than
realized. After a great waste of wind
you have framed a bill of rights which
would have reflected credit upon the
composing powers of a boy of thirteen.
If there is a boy of thirteen in the
State who would father its grammar,
no argument is needed to nrove our
common school system a failure, and
the educational bureau an expensive
and useless excresence. You have
tackled the Executive Department
article, aud with pragmatical ignor
ance have plastered it all over with
the protoplastic notions and ideas
which seem to pervade your minds
upon all points of Constitutional law.
Indeed you seem to be animated, but
by a single purpose, viz : to emascu
late a great State which for the time
being lies prostrate and power
less in your hands. My pen has done
you rank injustice in that last para
graph, and I hasten to make amend.
You all seem to be candidates lor
Bometning, from Governor down to
Justice of the Peace. It is safe to say
that not more than half a dozen of
your body have parted with political
and official aspirations. And you seem
altogether oblivious of the errand upon
which you were sent. The call under
which you have assembled was to revise
the Constitution of the State. The
people did not desire anew one. It
is problematic if they even desired a
revision of the old one. The incessant
agitation of the Capitol question at
length forced the call of a Convention
through the Legislature by a bare ma
jority. Avery small popular vote after
much personal persuasion and the ap
peals of the press sent you to revise a
good organic law as to those portions
in which it was defective or objection
able. And under this warrant you
have dipped your hands into the pub
lic purse and have presumed to dig
down and overtopple the social and
political fabric of the State. Your boast
that you are doing work to last for
generations is bosh and balderdash.
Constitutions do not outlast the parch
ment upon which they are written.
The world moves, society changes and
States grow. Courts, the special
guardians of const! utions, do not let
them stand. Yours would not stand a
minute before a Justices’ Court.
In these dull days your sessions are
not without matters of interest and
amusement to the lookers on. But,
gentlemen of the Convention, the peo
ple are paying too dearly for the
amusement. There’s a piquant relish
of the old times in witnessing Toombs
bully and badger with his dogmatic as
sumacy and bald assertions. It is the
first time since the war that he has had
an audience so respectable in numbers
and intelligence, aud ho makes the
most of tho opportunity. And Gus
Wright, as a religio-political acrobat,
is unequalled. He is always fresh,
lithe and full of impossible notions
aud ideas, which he gets off with a
grace and agility novel and pleasing.
The mere political student can find no
better school than that afforded by
Squire Wofford, who, true to the Cher
okee, skilfully lays the pipes for Gu
bernatorial campaign, by calling to
Cuffee to come up to the ballot box
without money aud without price.
The political economist and financier
may ponder upon and learn wisdom
from the solemu sentem es of the Rev.
Josiah Warren, of Chatham, as he an
ticipates the thunder of Toombs'strike
at railroad corporations. It is funny,
but even my old friend Jack Guerrarffi
of Savannah, who is apt to jerk out his
chunks of legal lor j very much after
the fashion of chucking dice from a
box, has caught the infectious afflatus,
and upon so dry a point as imprison
ment for debt, indulges in an undula
ting eloquence and a voluptuous rhet
oric which recalls the best efforts of
Tom Hardeman and Lochrane in pre
senting tin trumpets at a fireman’s
tournament. Aud where, permit me
to ask, in the annals of the world is
there to be found a nobler example of
misdirected courage in the discharge
of duty than that afforded by Mr. Key
who rallies and rises, and rises and
rallies, amendment in hand, to be im
mediately and incontinently doored by
those parliamentary athletes, George
Pierce and Porter Ingram ? Pardon
his diversion, and I proceed with
he matter in point. As I have already
a erved, it is an unpleasant necessity
the truth. But outside of
you have driven Herbert
J_ 3 ink-stand, you have
nothing so far beyond
- rejection of your “olla
by a popular vote. The lie-
s will rally, organize and strike
.y. They will be actively aided
il the outs, and bv all of those
-oials and their friends to whom you
have applied liffi saiai-f, gtiiiioliiie.
Colquitt is not partial to you. He Was
supposed to be avere£ to yiitir assembl;,
though he voted ah open ticket as a
matter of policy. He has a strong fol
lowing of henchmen inside and outside
the Grange He did not mean any
thing by trying to preside over your
organization. Bob Eley told him that
such was the law, and Ike Avery as
sured him it had beenjthe etiquette of
all similar occasions. Don’t imagine
that Colquitt is a fool. Some intelli
gent and discriminating people may
have so thought after looking at him
and listening to him talk. But I know
him, and such is not a fact.
Another threat from jou in regard
to the Agricultural Bureau, and the
State administration is on your back.
But I weary your patience, and per
haps intrude upon the precious time
of men engaged as you are. My only
excuse is your good and the welfare of
the people. After a careful reading of
your proceedings and speeches, my
heart goes out to the poor victims of
your economy, from old man Warner
who will not have money enough to
buy a ‘black veil,’ which he so delights
to wear, to the petty page who will
have to forego the pleasure of peanuts.
And as I scan your work at Constitu
tion making, I am amazed at the pro
vidential foresight of the much abused
Legislature which could provide for
certain coming contingencies, by an
enlargement of the State Lunatic
Asylum.
Good-bye, friends ! Give Nat Ham
mond, Gus Reese and Aleck Lawton
fair compensation and a competent
clerk, and they will make a revisiou of
the Constitution in three days that
will give universal and entire satisfac
tion. As for the balance, come home,
and come at once. We have not look
ed on a picture so pitiable as that pre
sented by you, save the one uncovered
by the strikers in the North. There,
States, weakened by a centralized Gov
ernment, quailed and cowered before a
mob. Here, the sons of a Common
wealth are shearing her of her strength
and glory just as the American people
are beginning to see and appreciate
the true theory of State governments.
Come home! Georgia does not
need politicians and Constitution
patchers. Come! The plow stands in
the furrow, fodder ripens under a har
vest moon, the cotton boll smiles to
the kiss of an August sun, and the
crow-feet from the crest of potato
ridges waves defiance to the sable
statesmen of the land. The field is
inviting. Your State calls. Come!
A Sovereign.
OH, MOSES !
The Children You Have Led aud Failed to
Show The Promised Laud are Sow
Alter You.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
Columbia, S. C., July 30. —Ex-Gov-
ernor Moses was before the Committee
yesterday and to-day, and will be again
brought before them to morrow. The
revelations made by him, with the
documentary evidence alluded to in
Saturday’s dispatches, are perfectly
startling. I am not permitted, without
violating the confidence of a faithful
informant, to give the particulars, but
am at liberty to say this much: That
the work accomplished by the Com
mittee heretofore is perfect child’s play
compared with what will follow.
The crowning result of the Ex-Gov
ernor’s testimony will be the arrest
and conviction of Ex-Governor Daniel
H. Chamberlain, who managed to cov
er up his tracks so well.
One of the members of the Commit
tee, in secret session to-day, while
speaking of Chamberlain’s case, said
that burnt brandy wouldn’t save Cham
berlain. While it has always been
known that Chamberlain was one of
the biggest scouudrels iu all the bands
of robbers, there has besn a feeling
and belief that he would by some
means escape just punishment. The
: apers submitteed to the Committee
yesterday by Ex-Governor Moses dis
pel that idea forever.
Can you tell the readers of the En
quirer whether or not a requisition
upon positive documentary proof of
Chamberlain’s guilt will be honored ?
A general belief exists here that he
would not be surrendered. Woodruff,
the Chief Joseph of the printing-ring
thieves, arrived here to-day in custody
of an officer, having been captured in
Philadelphia. He has been among the
boldest of the thieves, but is getting
very weak and shaky, and, it is
thought, will squeal, now that they have
him iu the toils.
JOHN BltlGH US VIEWS
Of the Cause of the Tremendous Upheaval
in the United States—Our Iniquitous
Tariff System at the Bottom of the
Mischief.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
London, July 20. — 1n John Bright’s
address at the unveiling of the Cobden
memorial statue, at Bradford, yester
day, he referred to the disturbances in
America as a local insurrection. He
said regarding the strike: ‘lt is one
of the most deplorable and discredita
ble events that have ever happened in
the Northern States, so far as my
knowledge goes.’
Mr. Bright continued by saying that
he attributed these disturbances to the
evil effects produced by the policy of
the United States in locking them
selves up from the rest of the commer
cial world, by onerous duties levied
upon the very class of manufactured
articles which, if competition were
open, would prevent labor from becom
ing unruly. He declared that the pros
tration of the great iron industry was
owing to the collapse arising from the
general impoverished condition of
capitalists, which of itself would ne
cessitate a great fall in wages.
Mr. Bright concluded by saying that
he believed that the excessive system
of tariff' heretofore levied for the pro
tection of labor in America, had re
ceived a death-blow, and that Dothing
could avert a change.
A young lady who lately came out
in Goose Pond society, ate a bait of
onions the meal previous, and was
spoken of as the “scenter of attraction”

not clear the conscience of a foul trick
done during the day, nor will going to
church on Sunday atone for the wilful

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever,Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &e., and indeed
all the p flections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of lutermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its sucecss
that ithas gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Kheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and dcrange
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Aver’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers ami temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if ttiey avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
