THURSDAY, JANUARY 29. 1874
TO THE PUBLIC.
The distribution of presents as announced
in an advertisement running for some time
in the Herald, over oar signatures, will come
of to-night, as per announcement in onr lo
cal columns.
It may be proper to say that in carrying
out to the letter the scheme eutered into, the
undersigned involve themselves in some tem
porary loss.
While, as will be seen, we have sold about
three times the number of ticket* ever sold
bs any similar institution in the city in any
similar (enterprise, we have not realized
sufficiently upon them, to reduce the
amount given away to a reasonable per cen
tum of profit aud loss. Our cash receipts,
as the tickets will show, have been a trifle
over $22,000, making the amount given
away about 30 per cent, of gross receipts.
Seven thousand dollars, (or about six thou
sand, to speak more precisely 1, is no trifle.
The present proprietors of the Herald
did not believe the scheme, just now
coming to a close, feasible or politic; and
have carried it out to the full,
simply because we believed it was
a matter in which tb.-ir good faith was
involved.
However, the prizes are all ready for the
sacrifice. The drawing will be conducted
fairly, and all will be satfofiid that we have
done all we ever promised to do.
The next surplus $7,000 00 that we spend,
shall be spent legitimately npon the col
umns of the Herald, ia advancing it to
the front ranks of Southern journalism.

‘•THE PUBLIC ABE INVITED TO
ATTEND."
Owing to the feet that James’ Hull has
been previously engaged by the Y. M. C. A.,
the Herald distribution will come off at
THE GEORGIA STATE LOTTERY ROOMS.
The Distribution will commence at 7:15
o'clock, and will bo superintended by the
Commissioners.
We will publish, ia fall, the number which
draws every single present in to-morrow
morning's paper.
Parties holding lucky numbers can receive
their prizes upon presenting their tickets.
We cordially invite all interested to visit
the State Littery Rooms and see that the
whole matter is fairly administered.
A CORRECTION.
The clerks in adjusting the books, cou
pons, and tickets, find that, owing to a cleri
cal error, there was one batch of numbers is
sued by two different agents, to two differ
ent sets of subscribers. As it is impossible
f or the numbers to go to the wheel as the
property of two separate parties, we have de
cided to cancel the right to these especial
numbers owned by the parties to whom they
were last sold, and have adjudged these par
ties new aud unoccupied numbers, which we
publish with their names below.
Of course as the whole thing is a matter of
fairly adjusted chance, one number Ss as
valuable before the drawing as any other
number.
The numbers annexed to the names below
belong exclusively to these names, and their
right to the numbers given them by the agent
who took their subscription is hereby can
celled.
With these exceptions the kooks and the
coupons are “illegantly adjusted."
We sincerely trust every man, (and espe
cially every lady) who holds a ticket will
draw a prizo; and it it is a good day for prizes
We think they will. * * * *

No Southern Confirmations —Report of De

Washington, January 28, 1S74.
The Senate discussed the finance in a
short Execntive session. No Southern con
firmations. Detective Smith who made the
affidavit upon wbich a warrant tor the search
of Mr. Morris’ bouse was issued, states that
on his arrival here from New York, he hail
been on important police business and he
was instructed by his Chief, Badger, to se
cure certain papers that had been stolen from
the State House at New Orleans. Detective
Smith withholds the information on which
he based the affidavit, which leads to the in
effectual search of Mr. Morris’ house. He
claims however, that tbe information come
from responsible parties and that he simply
did bis doty as a police officer.

situation. The colored people were allowed
equal rights befoie the law. We need appre
hend no divisions iu tue State. The people
who constitute the Convention wt uld be the
best in the State, fresh from the people, aDd
acquainted with their wants. The object o!
good government was to obtain the greatest
good to all, without detriment to any; aud no
measure of government was right which did
not emanate from the governed; and who was
Iprepared to say that the present Contribution
■ Received the sanction of the intelligent
majority of the citizens of Georgia?
The eigkt millions of fraudulent bonds
were clamoring for recognition, aud without
a Convention to prohibit their payment, they
would assuiedly be, at some time, paid in
part, or entirely. While he bad confidence
in the members of the Legislature elected by
the good citizens of our State, yet he would
sooner trust the honest yeomanry of tbe
State.
Gentlemen opposed the question lest it
might effect the interests of Atlanta, lest tbe
convention should remove the Capitol. He
entertained no prejudice against Atlanta, this
great and growing city. He bud seen it in
its smoldering ruins aud he had seen it sin< e
with pride m its grandeur aud gl<-ry. Yet if
tbo people of G .orgia desire to remove the
Capitol they had the right to do it.
Gentlemen had said that if the people
called a convention they would live to repent
it in “pack cloth and ashes.” What couid
we feai? Were not the people honest and
intelligent? Now was tho opportune time,
the golden opportunity aud it should not be
suffered to pass.
The people had no reason to fear that the
pood and honest citizens who would represent
them in this convention would take from
them tbeir little homestead. This was a
new ‘ bugaboo” to frighteu the weak, timid
and undecided. Thirty thousand dollars was
a trifl-3 to the State when such momentous
interests were at stake. Another reason. The
Constitution should be so amended as to pro
hibit the Legislature from extending aid in
railroads that began nowhere aDd ended in
nothing, aud thereby involve the State'iu an
enormous debt and oppress the people with
intolerable taxation.
Mr. LONGLEY of Troup—The public
good does not demand a convention. It is a
dangerous experiment to tamper with. Are
you willing to turn over the black bolt of
Georgia to the negroes ? If you call a Con-
venti >n you will unite the negroes who will
carry eac h Congressional District, the Radi
cals put the homestead in the constitution.
The Democrats objected to it. We can ac
complish the same object without it that we
cun with it; legislative enactments will pro
tect ns. This subject should be approached
with great caution The people of Georgia
dont want a Convention ; the people have
not called for it, every effort to br ng it up
has been defeated. If the people wanted a
Convention, why did’nt they usk it of this
body, as the matter was up last year? He
took tho responsibility of voting on this
question, if Troup county did not approve
it, let them condemn him. Let every man
come op squarely to the lssno, don’t shift th)
responsibility. The Dext was the expensu :
it was no light question, when wo can avoid
an expense wo ought to do so. People want
a great many things chingad, that now exist,
and if we call a Convention we could
nat get a batter constitution than we have
Mr. DELL of Screven, would aaswer the
objections of those who had preceded him.
The opponents of this measure have intro
duced bills in this House to amend the Con
stitution. Gentlemen have said this move
would disintegrate the Democratic patty. If
these forebodings be true, the result will be
tbe same, whether we have a Convention or
not. It this is trne, gentlemen should vote
down every proposition to alter the Constitu
tion. The gentlemen said the Convention of
18G8 was adopted because of tbe homoxtead.
Maimed soldiers voted agaiiiHt this Con
stitution, aud it has been said Unit this thing
was really defeated, had the people not been
under Republican rule. No danger from
disintegraiion. Take away the homestead
aud everything ebe, but the people of
Georgia will never com bin.' on questions ot
civil rights, or any other. Separate this
from politics, and a largo majority will be
given for this measure.
Mr. CALHOUN of Fulton—He accorded
to all the speakers tho fullest integrity in the
argument of the question. If the convention
is called, it will result disastrously to the peo
ple of Georgia. A great evil will lesult troin
this. Thought tho plan of a two thiid vote
of two consecutive sessions of the General As
sembly would e;>ab!e the people to accomplish
any measure of great importance. There are
some things a Stap* can d *, and some things
she cannot do. 8be cannot restore an> form
of servitude nor deny equal protection of
of tbe law to fll. What great question is
thereto remedy that demands a convention ?
Only a few people desire it. It is a bad plan
for the Leginlaturu to call a convention, unless-
the p c pie dmnaud it. The constitution
though made by the Republicans is good
with some exceptions. There is no necessity
tor calling u convention; it was no child’s play
to place tbe changing of an orgauic law'm
the hands of the people; the result would be
rninous to tho public. We have a good Gov
ernor, good Legislature, aud are doing well;
we are peaceful and bnppy. Tho people ot
Atlnnta bavo sacrificed no principle to get
the Capital here, nor will tbey ever sacrifice
any to retain it. They have complied with
every legal and moral obligation requited of
them.
Mr FREEMAN of Meriwether-Raid that
he spoke from a sonso of duty. He did u<>t
consider it our prerogative to deny the people
the privilege of saying whether or not they
want to chauge tbe organic law. Our man
hood forbids that we should submit to a con
stitutiou born iu corruption and enforced by
the bayonet. Thecio gloomy anticipations in
dulged in by Ihe opposition regarding a com
bination of <-ur people with the bond ring to
change the politics of the State are not to bo
feared, for when politics is brought into the
question and patriotism demands that the
people should stand firm, they will disregard
all other considerations and rally with tho
Democratic party. They will not sell their
birthright for a moss of pottage. In order to
build up the waste places we must return to
tbe land marks of onr fathers, and Georgia
will yet become the pride of her children, the
joy ot her sisters and the glory and admiration
of the worfo.
Nr. HOGE of Fulton said that he
bad no apology to make for con
auming the time ot tho House. He agreed
with the opposition that tbe present Consti
tution wes coneieved in sin and brought forth
in iniquity. He voted against it, but did not
ooneider that the Hoase woe dealing with the
past except to gather wisdom from expen
ance. That the gentleman from Cobb had
have heretofore been the strongest advocates
of railroads desiring State aid.
Now say that you are not afraid of the
present legislature beiug bribed by the bond
ring, but you can not vouch for future legis
latures. Are you not assuming too much in
b lieving that 3 011 are the only honest legis
lators that will ever represent the people?
As the Constitution now stands it is utterly
impossible for tho bondholders to have tho
repudiated bonds acknowledged, do it
they would have to buy first tho House, then
the Senate, then the Governor; afterwards a
second House, a second Senate and probabl) -
another Governor. How much easier would
it be to buy up the Convention, when at least
one-third of the delegates would be radicals
or negroes, Laving the advocates ol ihe home
stead and other i-sius opposed to the Con
vention. I apprehend that the reason why
the bond ring has not put in an appearance
this session is because they are at homo pray-
iugfior a Convention aud knowing that tbeir
interference would kill the Convention, fhe
opposition speAk in high favor with magna
charter, but denounce the present Coustiui
tion when there is not a principle in magi.a
charter that is not incorporated iu tho Con
stitution of 1868.
Proper legislation is a better method than
by* a convention. Iu adopting a new Consti
tution, we must take bli or none: amend
ments by legislation can be voted for sepa
rately. It i-i a false idea ubout there being
antagonistic interests between the legislature
and tho people. The legislators are the ser
vants of tne people and accountable to them:
they as truly represent tho wishes of the peo
ple as delegates to a convention would, t he
trouble is, legislators run with the popular
current instead of giving the people the beu-
i.tof their judgment. The amendment is a
proposition to {submit the question td tho
people. Why?
There is no precedent for it. In all the
conventions ever held in ihe State the ques
tion of submitting the calling of the conven
tion was never left to the peoDle except by
the Radical party. They speak ot Cobb,
Troup, Crawford aad others, beckoning
them on. No one of the distinguished states
men mentioned ever voted for a convention.
They' picture the shadow hand doing what
the real h ind never thought of. The ques
tion is not of sufficient imp rtance to justify
onr tronbleing the people with, especially
when they have not demanded it. There is
no change suggested that will materially affect
the people. If tho people really want a cou-
eution we cannot deprive them of it. When
they want it j ou will know it. Many things of
much more importance h.is beeu done with
out submitting the question to the people.
Last session you passed a bill issuing one
million and two hundred thousand dollars iu
nds without cjnsultiug the dear people
The amendment offered is a dodge to shirk
the responsibility so, if any evils spring
from it you can S4y it was yanr fault: you
called the convention, you elected the dele
gates; we are not to blame. It is a confession
ot defeat, hooting the white flag, drowding
men catching at straws.
If, as you say, Georgia is in a depraved
condition—that every day we live under this
vile Constitution, boru in corruption, is cast
ing a new blot on the bright escutcheon of
the State.
If the people are suffering under tho pree-
«en* Constitution, as you represent them, it is
un insult to them to dally about tho matter,
aud to ask to decide what was best to be
done. You should, if such was the case, give
them immediate relief—tako the responsibil
ity of calling the Convention yourselves But
thank God, such is not tbe case; if it wa : >, it
would be as meet for you to ask the shackled
if he would be fico - the flowers if thov
desired spriog- the < xrie if he longed for
home—the patriot if he (wanted freedom, as
ask the people if they wanted a Convention.
What has Atlautu done, that any pirt of the
people feel unkind towards her. It seems to
3 her past nod present should rattnr excite
»ur sympathy and your pride. Standing un
flinching by the right, she was made by the
i ; dal's band a -pectacit* of otter desolation;
and almost as > ou as the- de-vs and rams of
heaven hud cooled her smouldering embers,
she spruug to new life from amid the ruins
made by the c.moon and torch.* She is
not responsible for tbe evils that afflict
you, there bus never beeu a town of any size
in any S‘ate where a legislature ever sat
whose citizens did not, mat Last as great
degree contribute to rings and unwholesome
legislation, those who have plundered Geor
gia were not of us. Bullock was au alien and
Blodgett a stranger to us, aud ihe crew th\t
oppressed yon, under tho following laws,
walked onr streets a* much despised and
sbunued by our people, as though the hand
of retribution had already stricken them with
leprosy.
Mr. Speaker: I desirire to say not by way
ot argument, but as a personal explanation,
that 1 do i.ot regard ihe location of the
capitol hero as essential, or eveu conducive
in aoy great degree to the moral, mental or
commercial prosperty of this city.
What are the elements ot the substantial
growth and maintenance ot a city? Why,
sir, tho willing arm of the mechanic, who
rises in the morning at the crowing of the
cock, and the ring ot whose hammer lingers
on the night air. The enterprise that wakes
wood and iron, and tin and copper and brass
from their useless sleep, nud compels them
to staud ever ready to answer the require
ments of civilization and progress; the em
ployment of capital and business tact in pro
curing from the producing sections all that
luxury or necessity demands, and then dis
tributing to those who want; the education of
all classes of the people—the high and the
low. the rich and the poor—and the erection
of temples for the worship of the Living God.
AU these Atlanta has; all these she will have,
remove tbo capital when aud where you will.
You will not by removal, hush tho screoin of
a single engine, nor hinder the revolution of
a wheel. Trade has a capital of its own, aud
makes its owu laws, and >ou cannot control
it Not a child will be turned aorrowiog
from the doors of the public schools, nud not
a song or sermou Its* will utter praises or a
warning
Mr. PIERCE of Hancock —He could cou-
oeive no question ot greater moment, or ono
deserving more attention than this question.
It looms up high above every other one; take
all other questions in consideiatiou, but this
was the great* st ot ail. These may be worn
out issues, but if it be so, it is the demoral
izing work or a Constitution we are trying to
aineud. There can not bo too many safe
guards thiown arouud this thing; these
rights were purchased by our foreinlhers at
the price of their blood, and the sacrifice of
a king.
1m reply fo the Gentleman lrom Fulton,
Ail the good in the present Constitution
has been held up before us, but that which
should Dot be there is covered up. The ques
tion of our bon. s alone is enough to demand
that the people should meet and settle
forever this question. Notwithstanding tho
8.tfe gurrs ot tbe cons iiution, there w re
eight millions of dollars in bonds
issued; let the people declare they were issued
in fraud, and that not one dollar shall be
ever paid; let the people meet and speak
their sentiments, nnd let them be engraven
ou stoue. The provision io the Constitution
allowing the RUie to grant aid to Railroads,
is another serious cousidera'ion. Two ro%ds
have already come on our hands, and God
onl\' knows how many more are to come.
These roads and others had aid given them
by Democratic legislation. They showed that
the people should be guarded against all loss,
and would compel all who discharge public
duties to be bound up by restrictions.
How do we kuow that the people do not
want a Convention ? Some ot ihe members
say they want it; others, that they do not.
Even couutits arc divided iu this House.
Now, what ai ewe to do? Tho people are
divided, and let the people decide ihe issue.
If the people did not desire U, they would be
litre thundering their opposition at the doors
of this House. Upou the question of Con
vention he would vote for it, it for no other
reason thau to let the people decide the Cap
itol question.
To provide for a special expression of
public will, it may cost mouey, but it is the
in on of the people. If they want to spend
it in that way, it is their business; don’t deny
them this privilege. (A beautiful eulogy on
the State followed here).

Madame Parepa Rosa, whose death was an

of Mrs. Seguin by her marriage with Baron

but iu England in 1855. In 1863 she mar
ried Captain Carvil, an officer iu the East In
dia service, just retired. He was brilliant
and promising, aud most respectably con
nected. The venerable Edward Seguiu, Pa-
repa’s grandfather, then iu bis eighty-fifth
year, gave the bride away. The
marriage was not altogether happy,
and he died at Lima in 1865, and
the widow returned to the stage. Madame
Parepa visited this country in 1867, and ap
peared m concert at Irving Hall, New York,
on the 18th of September, nnder the direction
H. L. Bateman. In this troupe were H. L.
Hatton, the composer, and Carl Rosa, whom
she subsequently married. Her second mar
riage proved happy in every sense ot tbe word.
The following year Madame Parepa organised
an Euglish opera company which traveled ex
tensively through tho country. She returned
fo England on the 6th of March, 1873, and
subsequently organized an English opera
