u a Capital (jussTion.
AI the election on the first Wednesday
iu December uext ttvu people of Georgia
will decide the qtffctjtion of the permanent
location of their capital. Whether the
Constitution is ratified or not, this vote
will become a port of the organio law
and will be Anal.
Our readers very well know our poai
tion on this question. No well-informed
or disinterested person will deny that the
reipitt*! was removed to Atlanta liy the
liftsest of frauds, and for this, if for no
other reason, it aluiuld be returned to
MUledgevilte, where it justly ami prop
erly belongs. In former numbers ol this
(taper we have given onr readers a host
01, to ns, good and sufficient reasons for
M|vocating the claims of Milledgeville.
AH of these arguments are as atrong and
3nswerabl now as they have ever
.
mring the session of the Into Couven-
Atlanta discovered tiie strong tide
of public sentiment iu favor of the return
of tlifT'.Kt at of government to the old
capital, aud aroused herself to notion to
prevail H4h a movement being effooM
The City Uuucir{ield a meeting ami
proposed to donate to the State oertain
real estate within the city limits, and
erect thereon for the use of tbs State
Government, aa anbatantial and oommo
diona public buildings aa thoee at MiU
edgeviilc, provided the Convention fixed
the Capital permanently in that oity.
The Convention, however, determined to
refer the deoision of thU question to the
people, but inserted a section in the
Constitution authorising Atlanta to carry
out this offer in oase the vote should
locate the capital tlierfc We do not see
the necessity for any snoli section in the
Constitution. The offer made by Atlanta
was to be binding only upon the express
condition that the Convention itself
should permanently locate the Capital in
that oity. This the Convention refused
to do, and there tho proposition ended.
Tle offer waa not made to tho people,
but to the Convention, and l>y that i>ody
declined, and uow should hare no effect
whatever in influencing the voters.
Wo shall have more to soy on this
question hereafter.

The New Cos nstitut to w.
In this issuo of the Journal wo give
onr readers the remniiulor of the Consti
tution framed by the recent Convention,
and submitted to tho peoplo of Georgia
for ratification or rejection. We urge
every citizen, who hits the benefits and
blessings of good government at heart,
to read carefully aud study the now in
strument, and compare its previsions
with those of Uw Onstitution under
which we are now living, so that his
vote, whether for or against ratification,
may be baaed upon intelligence and ma
ture reflection.
That the people will ratify and ap
prove the work of their representatives,
we have not the slightest doubt. It was
endorsed and adopted by every member
of the Convention present. Not an ob
jection was offered when tho final vote
on its adoption ns a whole was taken.
Every d<'‘, ate, from the reticrxble Tr -
ident to ihe youngest > ember, is pledg
ed tii its support. livery lAunvnitio
paper in the State, so far as we have
seen, favors its ratification.
We do not claim that the instrument
is perfect , A law without error or weak
point, a i long aa human nature, is fallible,
is an impossibility. But, in onr humble
judgement, it is aa good as any and bet
ter than rnauy of the Constitutions of
of onr sister States. Indeed, it is bo far
superior to the one under which we now
live that we do not understand how any
thoughtful, sensible, disinterested man
can hesitate to give it the preference.
It is true tl-at there is probably not a
section or paragraph iu this uew instru
ment to which au objection cauuot be
j raised; and we see that onr Augusta
I cotemporary is publishing the opinions
! of certain prominent citizens, pointing
out several faults and flews. But where
they designate one objection to the new,
their good sense must certainly enable
; them to detect a dozen of graver impor
tance to the old Constitution.
There are many good and wine provis
ions in ths new Constitution, to whieh
McDUFFIE WEEKLY J okTli NAL. September 5, 1877.
every t .ougbif. 1 mail must g.ve uis ap
proval. One of the gravest difficulties
enoonotered by the Convention wa the'
framing of the fundamental law in sucli ’
a manner as to secure every citizen, both
white and black, {in the enjoyment of
equal and impartial privileges, rights
and remedies before the la r. But this
has been substantially roermplished in
the Constitution. It protects alike every
man, woman aid child, black and white,
within the limits of the State, as it does
the boarded thousands of the millionaire
and the humble pittance of the poor.
Even the education of the poor is pro
vided for as far as practicable, black and
while sharing alike in its benefits.
The sessions of the Legislature are
made biennial, and local legislation is
prohibited. Thus an immense amount
of useless legislation is aluiished, and
expenses in proportion saved to the tax
payers.
No more new counties are to be cre
ated, and here another aonroe of endless
bickering and contention is stopped.
Insurance companies are taken in
hand and surrounded with such restric
tions as will compel them to secure
i their policy-holders against lose. Those
who have paid their herd-earned dollars
, to insure their homes and property from
fire or accident, only to find their poli
; eies worthless when the trouble comes,
will appreciate this section.
The people are protected against exor
j bitanl and nnjnst discriminations in
freight and passenger tariffs charged by
the railroads. There is a difference of
opinion as to the wisdom and policy of
j this provision ; but those who have suf
! fered on account of the wide difference
| betweon through and way freights, will
j give this section a hearty endorsement.
State aid to railroads and other corpo
' rations is forever forbidden. If this
section had I men in our present Consti
tution, wlmt an immense amount of
trouble aud money it would liavp saved
our people. This state aid business has
enriched more infernal earpet-bnggera in
the Southern States than all the other
reconstruction devilment combined.
Cities, towns and counties are prohib
ited from contracting debts, except for
tl.e necessary government expenw and
for bridges, roads, ferries, public build
ings, aul repairs thereon, support f
prisoners, Ac.
The Attorney Goneroi, Comptroller
and Treasurer are to lie elected by the
people.
The Governor’s term of oflloe is reduc
ed to two years, and a large jxirtion of
the official patronage which he now oxer
cisea is taken from him. Tiiia is right
and proper. An unscrupulous and am
bitious Executive, holding offloe for four
years, with the immouse power and pa
tronage now conferred upon him, oould
practically bid defiance to the law, and
create a great deal of trouble.
The Judges are to be elected by the
Legislature. This avoids, on one baud,
the possibility of corruption and favor
itism, which so often influence the ap
pointments of the Governor; and on
the other hand, it saves aspirants for the
judicial ormiue from the temptation of
becoming political demagogues.
The settling of the vexid questions of
the Homestead, and the location of the
State capital were wisely excluded from
the Constitution, and referred to the
people for decision.
These are only a few of the many
excellent provisions ip the nefr Constitu
tion,. which ihe people of the State are
called upou to ratify or reject, We pro
pose to oomment more at length upon
these and other sections of the new in
strument, before the election in Decem
ber. At present we see no necessity for
advocating the* ratifiication 'of the new
Constitution, for the reason that, as far
as we can learn, the people of this sec
tion, and, is fact, of the entire State,
are almost unanimously in favor of it,
and need no argument to inflnenoe them
to vote for it.
Raphael Seumkr.
Admiral Semraes died at his residence
in Mobilo, Ala., on Thursday last, after
a brief illness. Perhaps no character
among the illnstrioua patriots who bat
tled for the Lost Cause, will shine with
brighter and more enduring glory in the
unuala of history than that of Raphael
Sommos. He was born in Maryland, in
1709, of one of tho best families of that
old Commonwea'tb. At an early age he
entered the U. 8. navy, where he soou
distinguished himself ; hut when the war
between the States wns commenced he
promptly resigned his office and espous
ed tho cause of the South. His first
exploits on the high sens were performed
in the “Sumter,” nn old, half-rotten
craft, with which lie oleared the Gulf of
Mexico of all opposing vessels, aud bold
ly set sail for Europe. On arriving there
he abandoned his old boat and secured
the “Alabama," with which he perform
ed many of the most heroic aud daring
deeds on record.
Success ooutinued to erowu his efforts
untill lie rashly accepted a challenge
from Commodore Winslow, of the U. S.
man-of-war, K. in , id a naval duel
off the coast of I ine >. The Km-.- .go
had been converted into an bon-cl -d Ivy
means of her cable elm ns, and, therefore?
had greatly the mi vantage of th> Via
barns. The light was stubborn and oourn
geo a*, lint terminated in the sinking ol
: the Alabama. Seoiuioa and a number of
is men, who plungod into tho Gnlf
rat her than become prisoners, were
picked up by French fishermen, and
saved, but the hero of so many glorious
victories never appeared again ou (he
high seas as commander of a vessel.
He returned to the Confederate Stab's
by way of Mexico, and was given the
command of a brigade iu Virginia, but
ouly arrived at his post of duly in time
to witness the oollepse of the cause for
which he had fought so bravely. His
subsequent history is uneventful. After
suffering several months imprisonment
iu a Northern dungeon he was released,
am I returned to hia home in Mobile
where he resided till hia death, support
ing hia family by practicing law.
No purer, braver, nobler patriot and
hero ever lived than Raphael Scinmes ;
! and long may the record of hia glorious
! achievements be embalmed in the mem
i ory of the warm-hearted children of the
| South.
