The Senoia Farm and Home lisa s laughable cartoon showing the compara tive si see of the editor of that paper and OoL Acton, of the CunJUvtion. It looks like a forked lard-barrel punctuated with an exclamation point. Senator Morton, of Indiana, is still dangerously ill, and mneh nneasineaa is felt by his friends sad leading politicians ii view of his probsble destli at this time. If he should die Gov. Williams will sppoiot a Democrat to succeed him in the Senate, and the Republican majority in that laxly is already too slender to be pleasant.

Gin. Bureau Howard continues to ebasa Capt. Joseph Lo through the woods and mountains of tlie far West. He has utterly annihilated the Indiana a dozen times, but invariably has to fight again the next day. He is winning for himself and posterity an imperishable crown of Peter Funk glory. The bureau general, sooth to say, Will he crowned with a cabbage instead of a bay. The Ohio Republicans are divided and split into ft doxen factions, and are utterly demoralized. No two of their lenders are agreed as to (he l'op !>>*.? lor success in the October elections.

Why, oh, why do they not resurrect the illustrious "J. N. t” He alone possess the power to raise the veil and lift the pressure. The Constitutional Convention omitted one important duty.

It vras just prior to Governor Camming’* administration that the great Mountain Meadow maaecre waa perpetra ted by the Mormons by command, as it is asserted, of Brigham, in which a Urge colony of emigrants, consisting of men women and children were butchered iu cold blood.

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. •[Brigham'* ■bo! I£ K .1 mmßfir •' ■Ruauding 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. !
