The War la Europe.
Tim Turks have drawn the first
blood at Kars, and the Russian col
umns. wawriug and bleeding have
bucu driven back; it is said, with
great slaughter. Kars is a Strongly
fortified place over which the banner
oi the Sultau floats, it is the first
strategic point assaulted by the Rus
sians. Tlius the bloody drama baa
opeued. No one can tell where it will
stop. Iu the language of a young
man from Tbomatville who wrote
back during the first year of the late
war that, “the duration of the war
depended on circumstances;' 1 so in
this case; the duration of the present
war, depend on •‘circumstances.*^—
These circumstance* however, stand
boldly out. If the other great powers
become involved, and there Is every
probability of it, then the war will be
come general, wide spread and ruin
ous in'the highest degree; and its du
ration cannot be very short On the
other hand If the great powers bold
oil', and Russia and Turkey arc allow
ed to fight it out single handed, then
ono or Uie bloodiest, and most relent
less wars of ancient or modern times
may be looked lor. In cither event,
there is but little hope ot an early ad
justment The whole of Europe is
fast becoming a vast military encamp
ment England is putting her bat
talions mpidly in the field, and con
centrating her powerful iron clad
navy, tbe most powerful in the world;
France is not quite ready, but with
the spring of the tiger she rests couch-
ant ready to jump at the throat of
Germany, Austria is resounding with
military preparations. Her geographi
cal position is such that she can
scarcely avoid being drawn into the
mad whirl. Germany, confident ot
her legions and trusting to her diplo-
mancy, looks on, with perhaps as
much complacency os any of tho great
European families. Sbo it ready for
war or peace; though her financial
condition will warn herlhat the former
should be the last alternative. Tbe
smaller powers, Iloumania. J/erzogo-
viniu and others, will be di
drawn into
tho whirlpool, like chaff. They could
not stay out, n they would. Upon tho
whole ft seems that red handed war,
desolation and death will stalk with
bloody tread over some ot the fairest
porlious of Europe. How long it will
be until reason and diplomacy shall
resume their swav substituting the
pen for tbe sword, time alone can tell.
Bui, as liefore Intimated, we see no
slgus of an early peace.

or to hold office under a man whom

Tho action of the administration
in pnHtponing the extra scssiou of Con-
gitss until the loth of October, is se
verely commented upon by the hangers
on nl*oul Washington. Tlioy expected
some good pickings iu June and July.

General Toombs on tbe C<
volition.
We have, in the main, refrained
from discussing the convention ques
tion, believing that tbe less said about
it was the better. We. arc satisfied
that a majority ot tbe people of Geor
gia are in favor ot such convention,and
that they will so proclaim at the bal
lot box on the 12th day of Juno Re
living this, we have avoided the dis
cussion of the subject, to tbe end that
harmony and party uuity might be
maintained. There arc honest differ
ences ol opinion on tbe subject, aud
these differences, if fanned, might
eventuate jn a .serious split iu the
party. To avoid even the possibility
of such a dire result, we have thought,
and still think, that the safest and
best plan is to allow the solid, com
mon good sense of the people to de
cide the question. They are indi
gent, and understand the issues ir fol-
ved. Let them go to the ballot box
calmly and dispassionately, without
excitement or being inflamed by parly
demagogues, and decide Uie question.
Believing that many of our readers
would like to sec the views of Genera)
Toombs on this question,wc make tbe
following extract from a private letter
written by this distinguished Georgian
to a gentleman in Thomasvllle. The
letter was not intended for publica
tion, but all who know General
Toombs, know that he never writes
anything which he would hesitate to
have the world sec. The letter is dated
Washington, Ga., May 3rd, *77, and is
in response to an iuvitation from the
officers of the Fair Association to
visit Thomaaville on the occasion of
the approaching May Fair, and to ad
dress the citizens of South Georgia at
that time on the convention question.
General 7oombs after expressing his
sincere regrets at being unable to do
so, goes on, iu speaking of the con-
tion, to say:
“The right of the people of Georgia
to make their own organic law, is of
Divine origin, perfect and inalienable,
yet for twelve years we have been
deprived of it. Tho present Consti
tution is not the act nnd deed ot the
people of Georgia. It was put upou
us by force and fraud, not for tbe pub
lic good, but for the purposes of spoli
ation and plunder under the forme of
law. It has been fastened upon us by
our own faithless representatives in
the Senate and llieir allies at home
aud bioail for the last six years, lor
persobal weal and corrupt purposes.
It has cost us millions in taxes, mort
gaged the brains and boues, sinews
and sweat ol* out selves and our poster
ity lor other millions iu the sliapo of
State bonds aud the endorsement cf
corporation bonds, and covered with
crime and fraud, aud scattered over it
debt, denioraliz&tiou.povcriy and ruin.
has lessened and weakened tbe
l»owers of tbe governed by the prolon
gation of the terms of office, aud en
larging the patronage oi rulers. It
maxes the Senate practicfallj,indepen
dent of the people both by the basis ol
•is representation, and tbu tenure of
its members; it degrades that ancient
pulladium of individual rights aud the
public safety, the jury box; aud gives
no security, no protection to tbe pub
lic monies or the public credit, except
tbe fidelity of the legislature. Wc
waut new safe guards for the vital iu
tcrcsts of society. legislative corrup
tion is a recognized element in our
legislative assemblies in the United
stales. We must providcagnimt It Call
a convention,write it down so ail men
cau read it, that the legislature stall
have no power to borrow money ex
cept for the public defense, shall ucver
endorse the bonds of a corporation for
any purpose, or under any pretence
whatever; that municipal corpora
tions shall never endorse bonds,
issue bonds, or contract debts for
any purpose outside of their respec
tive corporate limits, and that their
power of taxation for even internal
purposes shall be limited, aud shall be
forbidden for any other purpose what
soever. The present Constitution al
lots voters to impose burthens upon
others, which they do not feel them
selves. IFe must correct all these things
before the day of prosperity will dawn
upon us. Ruin has aroused the people
they have already spokcu; let the con
vention of (be people be called to con
sider all these evils.**
