—The probability now i Q that the
Legislature will r.ot adjourn its present
session as soon as was expected last
week. A resolution to continue the
session hevond the Constitutional limit
of 40 days has already been passed.
Many members advocate a continuance
of the session, without any adjourn
ment till summer, until the business is
fully transacted
—On Tuesday lust the Legislature
eleeted Mr. W. R. Hammond to fill the
vacancy rausel by the resignation of
Hon. George Hillyer as Judge of the
Atla uta Circuit.
The nominees for the position were
Marshall J. Clarke, Robert L. Rodgers
and W. R Hammond. The vote was
as follows :
Hammond, 122; Clarke, 69;
Rodgers. 5.
Mr. Hammond is a young man of
ur.eotnuion legal ability; anil will grace
the heneh of the Atlanta Circuit with
a dignity and learning becoming so
high and responsible a position.
Some members of the Legisla
ture with ethers outside continue
to complain about the workings of
the present Constitution of the
State. They claim that therestric
tions'it throws around the Legisla
ture materially impede the progress
of legislation.
It can not be deniel that the
Convention which framed the Con
stitution was composed of a body of
men that illustrated the patriotism
nnd ability of the best statesmen
of Georgia. The people wero un
usually careful in selecting their
best men to frame this organic law;
and they subsequently ratified the
nets of these men hy an overwhelm
ing majority. There are some
provisions in the Constitution
which wo believe to be unwise.
Rot it is a matter next to im
possibility to ftame such an instrux
ment, which would suit all in its
every feature
The fact, however, that there
•re many provisions in the present
Constitution which are exeeeilingly
ttnw'se in the estimation of the
average Legislator is no proof that
it shouM Ite amended. It was
adopted in the interest'of economy
in tlx* administration of the govern
men!; and one leading idea which
ila framers had wa3 to discourage,
hy the very restrictions coraplainad
of, the tremendous amount of un
necessary legislation with which
the B'atute books of tho State had
been so burdened ns to confuse tho
best legal minds. Is not the great
difficulty in the way of its enforce
ment found in the fact, that the
average legislator has nevor yet
caught tbo spirit of wisdom and
political economy which actuated
those who drafted the instrument,
and the people who ratified and
adopted it as their fundamental
law by which all legislation should
be governed ?
The Atlanta Constitution in a
recent article makes a valuable sug
gestion in point:
“There are great complaints
against the new Constitution.—
There ought to be a compromise
here. If the Constitution refuses
to adapt itself to the Legislature, as
it probably does, the Legislature
ought to endeavor to adapt itself to
the Constitution. It was the in>*
tentio'u of the framers of that in
strum: nt ’.’set son e effort should be
Ujk-tt n that dir •.tion.'’

Just think of him whose work thus helps
To near away the Winter,
And put this query to yourself—
Have 1 paid the printer?
From East nnd West, from North and

From lands beyond the water,
He weekly brings you lots of news
From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth toils more than he,
Through Summer’s heat and Winter;
How can you for a moment, then,
Neglect to pay the printer?
Yonr other bills yon promptly pny,
Wherever yon do go, sir ;
The butcher for his meat is paid,
For sundries is the grocer ;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The hatter and the vinter,
All get their pny—then why neglect
To settle with the printer?

Farmers, if you possibly can do so,
bold your cotton for better prices,
which are bound to be offered. The
last year’s crop has run out and this
year's crop has run short. The Facto
ries have shut down on halftime. If
the merchant wants your cotton sell it
to him at 11 cents, for the next three
weeks, and after that sell it to him for
12 cents. It would pay you better to
give one dollar per mooth storage than
t sell your cotton now.
Id the large markets cotton is stead
ily advancing, owing to short crops
made in the oountry.
CAPITA L*NOTEB,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28th.
The Legislature has finished its
numerous elections • and for the
past woek has dispatched business
very nicely. A recess will prob
ably be taken next week until the
first Wednesday in July. The
climate is hard here in winter and
the Capitol a dreary place. Sev
eral of the members are sick and
others look as though they are
about to fall through. A few
local bills, several charters and
some general bills of no special
importance will be passed. The
redistricting of tbe State will hard
ly be considered before next sum
mer and then it is going to be a
hard matter to settle. Several pet
schemes are already talked but
none of them will probably pass.
One thing already noticeable in
this Legislature is its liberality.
A lavish and reckless expenditure
of the public money will noc be
probable from these men but I am
glad to see them free from that niggard
ly spirit which has so often char
acterized our Legislatures. Atlanta
is banking on the progressive spirit
of the Legislature and confidently
expects anew capital bill to pass.
It has many avowed friends in both
branches, Mr. Rice of Fulton has
already introduced a bill to appro
priate 1,000,000 in five instal
ment’s of $200,000 each for this
purpose and 6ays it has flattering
prospects.
Quite a war has been had before
the Judiciary committee on a
resolution directing the discontinu
ance of the suit no* in the courts
to forfeit the State Road lease.—
The resolution (declares the suit
will involve the State in endless
and and that
if the lease were forfeited no better
return could be gotten from the
road now because of the lively
competition that has sprung up by
the new East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia line. The lessees
however, seem anxious to hold on.
They have employed several of the
most expensive lawyers in the
State to represent them in the
courts. The same gentlemen have
been before the Legislative com
mittee to argue in favor of the
resolution. The prospects are
that it will not pass and the stub
born fight will proceed in the
courts.
A strong effort will be made to
get larger appropriations for public
schools. Dr. Orr is tireless in his
efforts to secure for Georgia a
better sys f em oi public education.
Ho has done a remarkable work
with the limited means allowed
him but he feels deeply the need of
bettor facilities. The sale of the
public lands by Congress and the
distribution of tho proceeds among
the State school funds is a hope
long deferred but growing stronger
all tho while. It has been pre
vented heretofore because the
South would get such a large pro
portion of it but a more sensible
and mere patriotic view may gain
ascendency after a while. I)r
Curry who is to speak here to
night promises to get ns big a slice
as he can out of the Peabody fund
to aid us in establishing a normal
school.
The rising generation in Goorgia
will have many advantages over
thoir predecessors. Besidos seeing
our many faults and thus being
able to avoid them they will be
better educated and equipped to
find the way to true success.
