A Good Biu- —Mr. BHXter, Rep
recent alive from Gwinnett, lias in~
troduced a bill Co exempt maimed
and indigent Confederate soldiers
from poll tax.
The bill to revive the Geor.
gia Military Institute, at Marietta,
was defeated in the House of Rep
resentatives, on Saturday last, by a
vote of veas G 6, nays 75

OoT. Smith asked the I.egis

sand dollars to pay his secretaries,
but the legislature had anecv.no

i Mfc i
Shalt we have a State Conven
tion"/
The Atlanta Sun sav*, the resolu
tion introduced by Senator Gilmore,
calling a State Convention te revise
l lie present* Constitution is da ;ly
gaining strength. The Legislature
could cettianlv p*#* no resolution
wlii«‘h would give more geueial sat
isfaction.
The present Constitution lias many
provisien* which do not meet the
approval of the people. It was got
ten up bv ti e Radical Convention of
1868, and the ma : n ruling idea with
a majority of its framers, at least a
majoiity of the controlling element,
«as to perpetuate this party iu pow
er. 11l central idea, around which
even thing else seemed to revolve,
was to concentrate as much pewer
as possible in the handj of its leaders.
Hence they discarded the old Demo
oiatio idea that the people should
rule, and placed in the bands of the
Governor tlie power to appoint, not
only Judges of the Supreme Court,
but Circuit and District Judges,
and even created in each Militia
District of the State a new office
known as “Notary l’uldic,” and vest
ed bis appointment m the bands of
the Kxeeuiive. And fearing that an
ontiaged and indignant people would
drive them from power, they extend
ed the terms of the various impor
taut officers of the Stale. Judges
of the Supreme Court were to hold
for twelve years, the Governor for
so r and Judges of the Superior
Court for eight years. Thus by de
priving the people of the right which
they had heie’ofoie enjoyed of elect
ing thvil officers who should lule
over them, and by extending their
terms of office it was ■ xpected that
a few wire pullers would be able to
control the Stale.
No man who lias watched the
working of this system can certainly
advocate its continuance. It places
too much power in one Rian’s hands
no mailer though he cairied the
honestly of the tMate of Georgia in
his breeches pocket.
There are other provisions of the
organic law which the people ol
Georgia do not approve, and there is
but two ways by which it can be
changed; either hy calling a conven
tion of the people, or by having the
amendments passed bv two Legisla
tures. The latter method, it is eon.,
tended, is the cheapest and therefore
ought to he adopt*d. We are not
prepared to say what the expense of
a Convention would be, nor to cal
culate what the amoui t ot time
the Legislature would occupy in
discussing it, but a Convention which
assemble* for the [impose of merely
revising a Constitution could in five
or six days do its wotk and do it
well. The Convention of 18(55,
with all the important matters which
came btfoie that body which would
not come in-lore another, convened
on the 23th of October and adjourned
on the Blli ot November, and ill that
time trained a constitution witb
which the entire State was satisfied.
It is objected to by some for fear
that the Capital might he moved
back to M.ileilgev ille. We aie uot
in lavor ol removal, but if a majority
ot the people of Georgia prefer its
removal, then let it be done. The
people need no guardians to choose
for llienr We hope Mr. Gilmore’s
resolution will pa-», aud that a Con
vention, re»uc-enting the intelli
gence and worth of the Stale will be
assembled at an eaily day.
I* H.—Sin. e the above was in type
the Atlanta papers bring Hie iutelli
get.ee, dial the “Convention bill"
tabled, on baturday, by a large
majority.
Tlie Legislature.
The Legislature has passed a bill
to adjourn on the 15th instant sine
die -
There lias been but few general
laws passed vet, although a large
number of bills are pendipg in the
two bouses. The general laws of
the State need very little doeteiing
The great danger is in having too
much legislation instead of too little.
We have noticed since 'lie war that
at each session of the Legislature
there are hundreds of local and pri*
vale bi’ls which occupy two-ihiids
of the time of the Legislature. Such
as changing county lines, authorizing
John Doe to peddle without license,
chattering manufacturing companies,
«fce. There ought to be some pro
vision made by which the courts
could’ dispose o: these matters, by
amendment of the constitution, if
necessary.

The Committee of Ways and Means
says a \\ ortd’s V\ ashington dispatch
of Friday, discussed the bi.l for re
funding the cotton tax again to-day.
and although the majority es the
Committee are hostile to the bill,
they decided to let the hill come
before the House with an adverse
report, in ordet to allow the South
ern mem bets the satisfaction of de
lating it. The Committee take the
ground that only the taxes on ex
ported cot ten ought to be repaid,
which would reduce the amount to
be taken from the Treasury from
960,000 to $30,000, but they deem
it imp.aclicabie to do even this, as it
is extremely doubtful whether the
producer can prove his cotton beyond
»be port of exportation.— Telegraph

THE LEGISLATURE.
Business in the Senate—Bills
Passed by the House.
The following bill was intro
duced in the Senate: To amend
the char.er of the Georgia Masonic
Mutual Life Insurance Company.
The following l.ills passed : To
.mend the garnishment laws ; to
instruct the State Treasurer to de
stroy all bonds, coupons and cer
tificates of the Slate’s indebtedness
that may become the property of
the State; to repeal the act to
protect the people of the State in
the sale of kerosene oil; to change
the law of evidence, so as to allow
the introduction of books of hank**
»nd other incorporated companies
as evidence.
The bill extending aid to the
Camilla, Ctithhert and Columbus
Road was lost.
The bill to authorize the Georgia
Railroad Bank to settle with pri
vate depositors, and providing for
surrendering the State’s deposits
tor that purpose was lost by a vote
of 22 to 12.
The following bills passed in
the house : To relieve the securi
ties of S. C. Shivers, of Hancock
county ; To provide for the pay
ment of insolvent costs to the
county officers of Lincoln, McDuffie
and other counties; to authorize
the Ordinary of Glasscock county
to levy a tax to crept a court
house: to create commissioners for
frlasscock county.
A bill to prevent cruelty to ani
mals, and 1o impose a penalty for
cock fighting and dog lighting,
occasioned a warm debate
Mercer, Morris, Jones, of Burke,
Peabody and Huge t a voire d the
bill, claiming that, besides prevent
ing cruelty to animals it will check
the demoralizing effects of wit
nessing cock lights.
Anderson, Hudson and Dell op
posed the bill on the ground that
it is not the province of the Legist
lature to enforce morality. At
first the bill - provoked merriment,
but passed by a vote of 77 to 62.
The bill incorporating the Ark
wright Manufacturing Company,
of Savannah, and favoring the
policy of exempting manufacturers
front taxation for the first ten
years of their existence, was called
from the table, and passed by a
vote of £4 to 35.
Mercer and Walsh made telling
arguments
Gureton, of Dade, introduced a
bill providing for the sale of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Road
by the State, to pay the interest
on bonds and laborers* liens.
The Senate resolution, authoriz
ing the Governor to bid at sales
when the State is interested was
concurred in by tho House. The
object wan to allow the Governor
to bid on Hoyt’s property, which
was sold to day.
The House has three sessions

Now York Trials by Jury.
The recent failure of the jury to
agree in the Tweed trial, and
their consequent discharge have
brought out many excited coin
ments in the New York press, and
public sentiment seems deeply
stirred up. The Times devotes
several columns to the subject,
and analyses the personnel of the
jury, the antecedents of the differ
ent jurors, and presents altogether
a raiher damaging picture of the
system. It would seem as if jus
tice has a slim allowing sometimes
when it has to c >utend on the
criminal side of the court with
such a wealthy defendant and in
tluential politician as Boss Tweed.
The manner in which the jury box
is filled, may be judged from the
statement of Mr. Tremain, to the
Times reporter, that one of the
jury was an idle and worthies
loafer about the city, provided
with a new suit of clothes espe
cially for this trial, probably by a
kind Providence. Another jury
man bad boasted that if he could
only get on the Boss’ trial, he
could make a good deal of money
out of it. Still another lias served
a year in the penitentiary. These
facts only come to light after the
jury were sworn.
The vote by ballot has become
of late ears very much degraded,
and a strong reactionary teeling
is springing up iu the South
among intelligent circles in favor
of some remedial measures, or
influences in reference to it. The
purity of the jury box is of quite
as essential importance to society.
Let us take warning from the
downward career of other commu
nities and States. When such re
stilts as the failure to convict a
man like Tweed is possible iu so
great a city as New York, let us
hope that we have and can main
tain some superiority over tire
most prosperous people.
Successful proflgaey like this
would baldly be possible iu a
Southern Community. Hence we
see such men us Bullock fleeing
from just ice. Had his offences
been committed in New York lie
would have stood hi* ground

The Bogus Bond Compromise
Between the vaikty of vlie Du
lock and Kimball swindles, first
mortgage railroud endorsed bonds,
second rnoitgage railroad eudors
ed bonds, gold bonds, currency
bonds, Clews* $47.0 •<( claim, and
the terms of the compromise pro
posed by Mr. Snead, it is feared
that our Legislature is liable to
get into much the same slate of
mind with the old woman who
traded in groceries and got involv
ed iu a complicated business trans
at turn:
A customer came in one day and
said, ‘‘Old woman, what do you
ask for herrings ?”
“Three cents a piece,” said the
old lady.
"I’ll take one,” said the custom
er ; and the aged vfcnder proceeded
to do it up.
“What do you ask for beer?”
said the customer, as tire parcel
was handed him.
‘ Three cents a glass,” said she.
“On the whole,"’ said he, “I'll
take a glass of beer instead of the
herring.” So he took the beer and
started to go,
“Beg your pardon,” said the old
lady, "hut you haven’t paid for
the beer. ; ’
•l’aid for it! Of course not.
Didn’t I give you back the herring?”
"Well, but.” persisted the old
lady, "you didn’t pay for the her
ring.”
“Pay for the herring! C f course
I didn’t. I didnt take it, did 1?”
‘‘Well, said the old woman, after
a pause, in which she strove in
vain to master the mathematics of
it, “I presume you’re correct, but
l wish you wouldn’t trade here any
more.”
The old lady may have been ap
prehensive of the loss of her finan
cial credit if she rejected the very
fishy compromise proposed, but
bad good sense enough to know
that if she continued to do busi
ness on those princples she would
soon be a tinned woman. We
think BuMock. Kimball, Clews &
Co. have made enough money out
of the tax payers of Georgia, and
that it is time the Legislature
should tell them that “we wish they
wouldn’t trade here any more

FOR 1873.
A Democratic Newspaper,
DAILY AND WKEKLT
The Favorite of all Classes,
Lawyers. Merchan's. Farmers, Etc.
12 Reasons for Subscribing.
1. The Constitution is published at the
capital of the, State, and contains pro
ceedings of the Legislature in full, to
gether with constant and accurate infor
mation of the actings of all the depart
ments of the State Government.
2 It lias the sole and exclusive right
ol publishing the Decisions of the Su
preme Court from the Reporter of the
Court. These decisions are* delivered
on Monday of every week and are im
mediately published in the Constitution
Hence every lawyer in Georgia should
take the paper, and the great proportion
are subscribers.
3 The Constitution is the official jonr
nal of the State, of the city of Atlanta
and a large number of counties.
4. The Constitution publishes a weekly
cotton editorial, embracing remarks on
the gold premium and all matters affec.
ting the cotton trade, with statistics diffi
cult to be obtained elsewhere. Producers
and dealers in cotton, not alone in Geor
gia, but all over the country, procure
TliaConstitution for these articles.
5. The Constitution furnishes tele
graphic dispatches and news Irorn all
quarters of the globe, including markets,
domestic and foreign. Hence the paper
is popular with merchants everywhere.
6. B sides our daily as ociated press
dispatches. The Constitution has specials
from Washington, the National Capital.
7. Its correspondence department is
unsurpassed in the South, having special
correspondents at Washington,New York
and in various parts of the country.
8. The Constitution publishes a month
ly fashion tetter from New York, written
by the most celebrated ’female fashion
writer in the United States. The ladieF,
therefore, all want The Constitution.
9. A new feature for this year will
be weekly European correspondence, by
which the readers of The Constitution
will be taken on a tour throngh Europe.
10. The ablest writers and statesmen
of Georgia seleqj The Constitution to
give their views to the public, and so do
the people, and hence it is the admitted
leading Democratic journal of the State
-11. The two great spicilatii-s, our
Supreme Court decisions for the lawyers,
and our cotton articles lor the merchants
and farmers, make The Constitution
unrivaled in this part of the '-'otith.
12 For the reasons given alone, The
Constitution is the paper for all classes,
lawyers, merchants, farmers, mechanics
and others, circulntes in every county of
Georgia, has the largest State circula
tion and is. therefore, the favorite medi
tru for advertisers.
Every Georgian should, after takng
his own local paper, subscribe for the
Constitution, published at the capital of
his State; and we would here return
thanks to the people for a patronage, that
Ins culminated in the grandest newspajrer
success known in the Southern States
The Constitution, not yet five years old.
has attained a circulation never reached
by a daily patter in Georgia, and has
rented a magnificent five-story building
nt its own. as complete as any in the
United Slates, giving employment to
seventy or eighty persons daily, and run
ning a da'f dozen pres es by steam. Vis
itors to Atlanta are cordially invited to
call and examine The Constitution build
ing and its powerful presses, printing
four or five thousand papers per hour.
