Attorney General Williams.—
J t is a hard matter to say whose hide
is the toughest. The Attorney Gen
erals in allowing his name to remain
so long before the Senate or the Pres
ident, in refusing to withdraw a nomi
nal ion which he knows is distasteful
to the American people. It is to he
sincerely hoped that there is enough
“Old Romaus” in the Senate to defeat
this Jack-leg-lawyer.
Spinner who spun out so many
greenbacks since, and during the war.
is recuperating his health in Florida.
Notwithstanding the immense amount
ot the gran which bears Mr. Spinners
well known signature, it is said that
h » is comparatively a poor man. It
ho should die poor in these piping
times of stealing, he ought to liav-
inonamcni erected to his memory, set
ting forth this one rale virtue.

Spanish steamer Arapilcs was being
overhauled, has just added additional
edat, to its sinking powers, by allow
ing the famous Virgiuius to go to the
lx»ttom oi old ocean, off Cape* Fear.
Tiiis w ay of treating and dodging great
international questions, is mean, con
temptible, and far beneath the digni
ty of any rcsj.ecl ilU government or
administration. There appears to
ljc but little* doubt, hut that the offi
cers of the Ossipeo could have saved
litis famous vessel, if the proper exer
tions had been used. Rut the Gordi

A State Convention — Letter
from Hon. A. C. Walker,
1 he letter below sums up the argu
ment in favor of a Convention with
laconic brevity and in term* character
istic of its author, short, quick and in
cisive. I endorse every word, point
and proposition. Cleanse the augean
stable, go back to Milledgcville, abol
ish that judicial nuisance—the Su
premo Court, shorten the roll of offi
cers and useless functionaries, put
honest men in power aud if possible
restore the old enu J/r. Walker is ot
the old regime; able, honest and served
ihc Slate well when Georgia was
Georgia.' Please give his letter an
insertion that the people may see that
there is at least one man that has not
bowed the knee to Baal. Let us
strive to increase the list to at least
the five thousand that the prophet

Editors Chronicle t0 Sentinel;
Gentlemen—I cordially agree with
}on 10 your views of the necessity of
calling, at an caily day, a .Slate Con
vention lor amending the present
State Constitution. So far as I am
concerned, I will give you the reasons
which prevent me from complying
with your request. After the Consti
tution was published, 1 received a copv
which, without turning a -eaf or read
ing a word, I threw it into the fire, and
1 have no kdowledgc of it since. It is
foul emanation from semi-savage
grocs and Yankee thieves, and ns
ig as it remains uncleansed from
this taint, it wil! stand a landmark 01
the then negro dominion over the peo
ple. of Georgia. If this were the sole
objection to it, it would be well worth
Ihc cost of removing the stigma.
The manner ot constructing the
stituliou I infer to have been, that th^
few members who could read or knew
ihc meaniug of the word, copied from
previous like instruments, adding now
and then transcripts from the Consti
tution of Maine, Massachusetts, etc.
It is not difficult to understand, with
out readiug it, that it requires impor
tant amendment, aside from that allu
ded to.
This is an era of laxity or principle
ol dishonesty. It pervades the whole
country, and wilh the same induce
ments and temptation brought to hear
I would no more trust the Legislature
ot Georgia than I would tlnu of New
York, and it is only in the Constitu
tion that checks and restraints against
the ruin of the impoverished people
can hi*, made effectual. It is there on
ly that wc may ever look for retrench
ment, that we can compel Legislatures
to meet hut once in two years—three
would he better. It is there only that
you eau restrict their sessions uncon
ditionally to a certain number of days,
their pay perpetually to six dollars per
day, and 10 specific number of hang-
ars-on, called clerks. It is there only
ibal we can prevent contracting debts
or pledging the credit of the Slate for
any sum or any purpose. It is there
only that you can cut off excrescences
—a prominent one in my opinion is
our Supreme Court. A howl I know
would rend the skies that the hare
idea of invading the sanctity of this
w ell-paid refuge ot favorites aud third-
rate lawyers—but nevertheless there
is not a common sense farmer in the
State hut who, if he could understand
die material of its composition, its
uselessness and expeusivencss, would
vote for its abolition. I would infi
nitely prefer to trust my rights by ap
peal to a special jury under a Superi
or Court Judge, who is almost certain
lo bo u better .Judge than those very
expensive three.- I ‘1° n °t earc what
tax hooks may sluiW, uiC solemn truth
is that the great mass of farmers are
growing poorer every year. A &a«S
Convention could not provide ggait.st
his, hut it could save tens of theu-
ands annually if they choose to do

There are, I presume, various other
amendments needed, the fiuaticial
question being the mof>t important.
I'o those who coinplain of the expense
of amending the Constitution, it may
be said that iu November, 1805, the
whole Constitution was revised, alter

CONVENTION.
We refer our feadeis to the com
munication elsewhere on the subject
of a Convention. The subject is ably
discussed," aud will repay perusaL—
There is a strong feeling in the State
on the subject of a convention, and
we believe that,the people'of Geofgia
are in tavor of one. The people have
a right to vote on the question of the
location of the Capital at least. It is
a notorious fact, that irresponsible,
designing men, removed the capital
to Atlanta, to subserve i»crsonal aims,
without any regard to the interests of
the masses. There arc many good
features in the present constitution:
let them be retained; but expunge
the bad ones; and give the intelligent
properly holders of Georgia, an oppor
tunity of saying, what kind of a State
Constitution they shall live under. -
This is nothing but simple justice.
Nor Guilts'.—General I*. M. B.
Young denies over his signature, that
he is in any way connected with the
notorious Washington Ring. We
hope for the sake of the fair name of
the honorable gentlemen, that hH dis
claimer will relieve him of the odium,
so justly attached to rings and dishon
est combinations of politicians nowa
days. Georgia Congressmen have
enough to carry in that hack pay bus
iness, without the additional weight
of tho thieving Washington ring.

'J he many who have had business
in the office of the ‘’Morning News,”
will miss the genial face of Thomas
II. Rankin. After a very brief illness,
fie lias been called away by an inscru
table providence, and his place is va
cant in the office; but far more poign
ant, there is a vacant chair in the
family circle, where a fond mother,
sisters and brother*, miss his kindly
beaming smile, //c was one of na
tures noblemen, and had he lived,
would have been an honor to himself,
his family, and his country. Wc
knew him well aud would add this
tribute to the high moral worth and
integrity of our departed young friend.
