In accordance with a call published in
the Hkbald, a meeting of Republicans was
held in James’ Hall last night. The seats
were all filled and a number were stand
ing at the stove and in the vacant space.
Two thirds of the number present were
colored; among the whites were several
prominent citizes of Atlanta.
At 8 o’clock Col. Farrow came forward
and moved that Mr. Jonathan Norcross be
made Chairman of the meeting, which
was unanimously carried.
On taking the Chair, Mr. Norcross made
a brief address.
Constitution. Mending and tinkering it
makes it appear less precious, diminishes
the sentiment of reverence and causes the
people to think it of little value. A breath
makes it, and a breath unmakes it.
Down to 1801 we had what is now called
the “old Constitution.’’ This was the
original constitution of 1797, after having
undergone several amendments. In 1842
there was an amendment making the ses
sions of the Legislature biennial,—what
some are proposing now. After several
years this was found to be not so com
patible with the public interest. If you
wish to see a very vigorous argument in
favor of returning to annual sessions, read
the message ot Gov. Howell Cobb in 1853.
In 1857 it was changed, prescribing again
annual sessions instead of biennial.
As to this Constitution, although some
what of a disjointed affair, it iiad many
excellent points. The style and arrange
ment were “wretched.” This quotation is
from Hon. T. R. H. Cobb, and I am will

of his castie, aud s > directed. But his wife. Mrs
Polly T onut., too* a decidedly different view of
the matter, and coustimted herseif as '‘boss’’ of the
premises. She’s very naturally led to domestic
trouble, in wnich two of the day boarder took a

working right lively for a quiet neighborhood. The
R>?corler put down tines to the amount of S60 and

Another Troupe.
Yesterday the advance agent of Hairy Robinson’s
minstrel troupe arrived in this city and secured the
Opera IIou«e for two nigh is. beginning next Friday
While this troupe is a new candidate for public
favor, it is highly spoken of by our exchanges from
places where tney have exhibited. The Cleveland
Leader In speaking of their entertainment in that
city says: “This excellent minstrel troupe appeared
at the Academy of Mu“ic last evening »o a cr >wded
house, aud the satisfaction whicn they gave on the
first evening was more than duplicated. The great
point with Harry Robinson is vhal he employes no
second-class talent, all his men being of au order of

This is a very good idea on the part of the Senator,
as his views on the hard money question are on
record in his own handwriting. His arguments are,
neverLhele*s, sound and of great weight. The Sen
ator's familiarity with a:.cient times, men ana cus

four counties each, the other forty Districts being
civiuea into three counties each—making in all
forty-four Senatorial Districts of the one iiuuure i
and thirty six counties in the State. The new
county of Oconee is not down on the printed list of
the session, which makes one hundred 8nd thirty-
seven c'unties. This county is attacked to the
2ith District, Senator McDaniel.
A large number of spectators were early on hand
yesterday, and not a few fought tne balmy atmoa

blasts oi the street corners.
Mr. Brimberrv, of the 8th District, is the only Re-
pa blican member of the Senate. He lives at Ca

A very beautiful gentleman came into the hall
yesterdar, and after standing around 'awhile and
taking a look at the Senators, he retired, apparently
satisfied.
Senator Lester occupied the chair yesterday dur
ing the reading of bills the second time.
A House bill was read the second time yesterday
iu the Senate, authorizing the Ordinaries of the
various counties to pay two dollars each for wolf
scalps, one dollar each for wild cat and red fox
scalps, and fifty cents each for grey fox scalps. This
bill relates to the sheep busint ss.

lars lo pay a debt that could have been canceled »U
months ago for oue and a half million, and If they
are retired they will oppoee Ihe ietue of new bonds

was a suspicion, looking package, and when the
Senator attempted to open it sumo one suggested

this only served io bring a smile and blush to the
young Senator's face as he quietly stored It away In
desk. He doubtless knew, from the odor that

grounds for collusion In the matter. He had no
interest in the world in the matter, and merely in*
traduced it at the request o Rutherford.

tion and a vote was called tor, one Hens tor who had
been engaged in conversation with seviral other

lias too much patronage. Although I
have no very hign opinion of Gov. Smith
as a politician or statesman, I am willing
to trust these appointments to him. He
has made a goon many good appointments
and done a good many good things.
Another objection, made by a speaker
whom I heard in the House of Repiesent-
atives a few days ago. was that the consti
tution declared that Georgia must remain
in the Union. He said he was willing to
s rear allegiance to the constitution of the
United States, but did not want that arti
cle in the constitution of Georgia. [Laugh-
ter.]
I would have been glad to see this meet
ing called without relerence to party, but
as my Republican friends have called it,
it is all right. The Democrats will do the
same. They can not afford to do otherwise.
SPEECH OF MR. AKERMAN.
Mr. Norcross then introduced Hon. A
T. Akerman, who made a speech over two
hours in length, in whieh he discussed the
question of a Constitutional Convention
very thoroughly. He reviewed the argu
ments advanced in favor of calling a Con
vention, and in a forcible style dealt them
some heavy blows. Mr. Akerman can lay
no particular claim to oratory, but he is a
man of strong sense, and understands the
putting together of points in a striking and
telling way before the people. His man
ner is i lain, his language well chosen, and
his style vigorous and at the same time
ornate. He understands the powers of
satcasm aud humor, and knows how to
make a telling point to suit his auditory.
He came briskly on the stage and
BEGAN HIS ADDRESS THUS."
Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Citizen*:
As a guide to what I shall say, I propose
the following resolutions:
l Resolved, That the ectlon of the House of Repre
senutives of Georgia in pissing the bill for a Con
stltutional Conventioo merits the course of the cit
izens of this State.
2nd Resolved. That the refusal of the House to
submit the measure to a popular vote, is an effronl
the sovereig ity of in : people, and a proof that
friends are determined to accomplish, in de
fence of the popular will, and objeet.which they are
sensible that the people, if fairly cunsulted, would
condemn.
;ld. Resolved, That the opposition of the more'.vi
oleut members of the Democratic party to the pres
ent convention, is largely prompted by their en
mity to Union, to liberty and to equal rights, aud
by their desire to place labor in oppressive subjec
tion to capital: and we call upon patriotic men of
all parries to frown upon a spirit whieh tends to
strife between races, and to the impovishment of
the State by drawning away its laboring people,
and repelling useful immigration.
Resolved, That iuasmuehfas our present Consti
tution was legally established by the people of
Georgia after great deliberation, is t wise, just and
convenient in its general provisions (and 'all be
easily amended! from time to time by legislative
and popular action, if found necessary. It should
remain our fundamental law until the test of time
shall show it to be radiesliy unsuited to the charac
ter and circumstances of our people.
Resolved, xffia. chairmen of the following Re
publican committees: the State Central Commmee,
the Executive Committee of t -e Fifth Congressional
District, and the Executive Committee of Fullon
County, are requested to communicate witn all the
local Republican organizations iu the State, and to
take propersteps to turn the attention of the people
to this measure, in order to awaken due indignation
against the Democratic party, wh'ch ia responsible
for it and to report to the Convention, if it should
be held, men who will resist pt rnicious innovations
and submit to the ratification of the people any
changes which may be proposed.
Mr. Akerman then proceeded to say that
it has been represented to him that the
people of Atlanta disapproved of this call,
and yet it was feared a Republican meet
ing would have a result in its favor. And
whereas the Senate might possibly not
endorse the House bill calling a conven
tion, they certainly would do so, if the
Republicans opposed it. He did not know
whether these would do or not, but if it
was true, there was so much more the
reason for this meeting and a demonstra
tion over the whole State.
Sixty-four thousand Republican voters
have aright toexpress their views on ant-
measure of ordinary public interest, much
more on one of extraordinary interest. If
the 44 gentlemen who (ompose the Senate
of the State of Georgia would be influ
enced in their action by the speaking of
so large a portion of their constituency,
let them have the benetit of their position.
[Applause.]
This is
OCR COUNTRY.
That is, it is the heritage and possession
of all its citizens, the minority as well as
the majority. Every one is a citizen, and
eacli lias hts individual rights. I do not
wish to try to influence the Senate of the
Stale of Georgia—I wish to influence those
that are here.
It is a singular fact that not one of the
journals published in this city has publish
ed the text of a bill as important ns this is
to the people. I therefore cannot tell what
are its exact features. I know one thing,
that it is not to he until March, 1877. Men
who denounce the present Constitution, in
making efforts for another, state that they
are witling to live under the denounced
one another year. [Applause.]
To come to the main uuehtion in record
to the Convention. Is it wise? Is it
proper? Is it necessary? The expense
involved is a serious consideration at this
time. Rut if there is any necessity for it
I do not object to it on that score. No
matter how expensive legislation is, if it is
wise and just, if the people get value re
ceived for it I am willing to have it. If
this Constitution is so had, down with it.
If it is wise, just, pure, true, patriotic, and
adapted to the people of Georgia, then let
it stand. [Applause.]
review of constitutions of giorgia.
In fifteen years we have had no less
than fonr constitutions. A constitution
of a government ia the fundamental law
of that government in its aggregated ca
pacity. A constitntion of a State is the
fundamental law of that State.* Reverence
of it is necessary. We have no gorgeous
throne, we have no imperial city to rever
eace; we must be taught to reverence our
tion made by the convention called under
authority of President Andrew Johnson,
under the Provisional Governorship of
Jas. Johnson. He contended that the
work of this convention was never sub
mitted to the people, and as proof cited
tiie fact that under the first Gubernatorial
election under it there were* only 38,000
votes, of which Jenkins received 37,000.
He then defended Congress for
doing away with this Govern
ment, and ordering a new convention
which met under the reconstruction acts
in 1808. The main objection the Demo-
ciatic press urged against the Constitution
then adopted, was that it embraced negro
suffrage. Yet in June, 1872, the Derno-
craticjiarty declared itself opposed to dis
turbing the questions settled by the Con
stitutional Amendment. The amendments
included negro suffrage. [Applause.] Here
I would like to have light from the Demo
crats. They talked as if the Constitution
of the United States was an object of wor
ship. In February, 1872, James Brooks, of
New York, introduced a resolution in Con
gress declaring that these amendments,
c nferring suffrage on the negro, were valid
parts of the Constitution. Twenty-two
Southern Democrats, and every Democrat
from Georgia, except A. T. McIntyre, voted
against it. Now, I want to Know what the
Democrats consider the Constitution, the
Constitution without the amendment, as
their 22 Democrats did, or the Constitution
as it is? [Applause.]
We have lived utnler the present con
stitution seven years. There have been
changes, there have been some instances
of popular violence, there has been finan
cial distress, a new svrtcin of labor intro-
iuced. Yet there lias been a considerable
increase of material prosperity and of po
litical and moral improvement. The tax
books show an advance of; property
from 11)1 millions in 1868 to 273 mil
lions in 1874. [Applause.J
W'lIAT KIND OF A CONSTITUTION
and what changes are proposed? I have
been struck with one thing, the want of
unanimity in the arguments advanced for
a convention.
■The most general complaint is, it allows
too large a homestead. I opposed this
measure originally in the convention on
Constitutional grounds, but those Consti
tutional grounds have been guarded by the
courts deciding that the law does not apply
to past debts. But the sense of the people
can be taken separately ou this point at far
less trouble and expense than by calling
a convention. It is practicable to make
any change required before the convention
could meet. [Applause.]
■The speaker then presented his objec
tions to a convention, on several grounds.
The first was the
EXTREME CRUDITY OF POLITICAL IDEAS
in the minds of those that favor it. As an
illustration, he stated that he had seen in
an Augusta paper an argument, in bohalf
of a Convention based on the idea of hav-
ng only one legislative body. He
agreed that the having of two legislative
bodies, one smaller and cooler and slower
than the other, was a fundamental idea of
good government, instancing France, Ger
many, the United States, and each indi
vidual S'ate as an example of their ne-
:essitv, ami France in the first revolution
as an example of the danger involved^
not having them. It rushes a people head-
long into anarchy and despotism, sangui
nary and disgraceful to humanity. One
legislative body makes the national Legis
lature subject to impiojier external infiu-
ences. The old Yazoo act, givingaw-ay so
much of Georgia, and causing such uni
versal indignation, was passed in 1795 by
forty or fifty legislators. Two bodies may
:ost more. Be it so, I am willing to pay
a good deal for good government, nothing
for bud government.
Another reason advanced for adherence
to the present Constitution was
THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION OF THE SENATE.
This is one of the wisest provisions ever
made in any Constitution. If there was a
senator for every county there would he
too many, 138. If the term was for onl\
two years, uuder the system of rotation
from county to county in choosing Sena
tors, there would never be anything but
fresh, inexperienced material in the Sen
ate. As it is, a smaller number, with a
tuber on hand who are acquainted with
the,business is secured.
A third good feature in the present Con
stitution is the
TERM OF TIIE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.
It is a conservative feature. If the Gov
ernor is a had Governor, four years would
be test much, 3, 2, 1 years—aye one day
would he too much. If the constitution
cannot he so framed as to elect any but
bad officers, then give the people no gov
ernment at all. [Applause.] In that ease
hereditary or aristocratic government
would be the best. Then, too, you have
a Legislature changed every year in one
f it s branches that is a check to the Gov
ernor.
The speaker then dwelt on the manner
of appointing the Judges and their terra
of office, maintaining tiiat there was a bet
ter chance of getting good Judges by gu
bernatorial appointment than by election,
because both honesty and ambition would
lead a Governor to make a good selection,
and there was less liability to be swayed
by tiie idea of popularity and unpopulari
ty. And the length of terms gave a stead
iness to our laws, whieh could not he at
tained any other way, and was extremely
desirable. Besides all this, the convention
provides that by a
LEGISLATIVE ADDRESS
two thirds of that body can rid tiie State of
an unworthy Judge in one w.ek.
Finally the speaker alluded to certain
objections made against the Constitution
which he said he found it difficult to deal
with without using harsh language. It
was urged that this Constitution was
FORCED ON UB BY CONGRESS.
I deny itl It is the work of the people
of Georgia. [Applause ] It had more of
popular authority and credentials than
any constitution of Georgia ever had. [Ap
plause.] Congress passed the Reconstruc
tion acts, and gave the people the right to

those who complained of the ignorance of
the Convention. During this part of the
speech, there was much merriment, caused
by the sallies of the speaker. He said B.
H. Hill said we were in the Union, and in
tended to stay, and there was a very good
reason for it, we couldn’t get out, [laugh
ter,] and he hoped Mr. Hill really didn’t
want to go out.
Tiie conclusion of the speech was taken
up with the Bourbons, who want, among
other things, to have the Capitol changed.
He urged that this was a real intention on
their part, and humorously dwelt on
their antiquated notions and the
hoary aspect of Milledgeville suiting them
better than the life of Atlanta. He
suggested that as there was a railroad
there, ami perhaps a factory, there was
altogether too much life, and t hat he knew
of no jdaee better for them, as a cajiital,
than an island in the Okeefeenokee swamp;
and periiaps the recent exploration of
that famous swamp was found on a pre
science which foresaw the future capital,
aud was locating for its organ.
In conclusion, the speaker alluded to
some who said they wished it not to be a
part of Georgia’s organic law that she
should ever remain in the Union. He
said, we say that in >Vashii!gton; say it
here. I'erjietuate it in tins glorious Cen
tennial year. We became free virtually
in 1776, in form in 1787, in form and fact
in 1861-65. Let us cheerfully, heartily,
and in good faith carry out the principles
of that freedom.
Mr. Akerman then moved the resolu
tions above mentioned, which were unan
imously carried. Col. Farrow moved that
Mr. Akerman he requested to furnish a
cojiy of his speech for publication, which
was also unanimously carried. Three
cheers for the speaker were given with
a vim and the meeting adjourned.

VEGETINE
WILL CUBE
Scrofula,
SCROFULOUS HL IOK.
V taint of Krofu a and Scromlous Humor.
has permaut ntly cured thousands in Boston and vi
cinity who had been long aud painful sufferers.
Cancer, Cancerous Humor.
The marvelous effect of Vegetink in case of Can
cer aud Cancerous Humor challenges the most pro
found attention of the medical fuculty, many of
whom are prescribing Vegetink to their patients.
Canker.
Mercurial Hseates.
Pain in the Bones.
In this complaint the Vegetine is the great rem
edy. as it removes from tne system the producing
cause.
Salt Rheum.
Tetter^ Salt Rheum. Scald Head, etc., will cer
tainly >ield to the great alterative effects of Vigb-
TLNE.
Erysipelas.
Pimples and Humors of tho Face.
Reason should teach us that a blotchy, rough, or
pimpled skin depends entirely upon an internal
came, and no out want application can ever cure
the defect. Vegeti^k is the great biood purifier.
Tumors, Ulcers or Old Sores
Are caused by an impure state of the blood. Cleanse
the blood thoroughly with Vegeiink, and these
complaints will disappear.
For this complaint the only substantial benefit
can be obtained through the blood. Vegktine ia
the great blood purifier.
Constipation. v
Vegstine does not act as a cathartic to debilitate
the bowels, but cleanses all the organs, enabling
each to perform the functions devolving upon them.
Piles.
Dyspepsia.
It Vkgktine is token repulsrly. according to di-
rections. a certain and speedy cure will follow its
use.
Faintness at the Stomach.
Vbgetine is not a stimulating bitters which cre
ates a fictitious appetite, but a gentle tonic, which
assists nature to restore the stomach to a healthy
action.
Female Weakness.
Vegetink acts directly upon the causes of there
complaints. It iuvigorates aud strengthens the
whole system, acts upon the secretive organs and
allays inflammation.
General Debility.
In this complaint the good effectsof the VEGrrofE
are realized immediately after commencing to taka
it: as debility denotes deficiency of the blood, and
Vegetink acts directly upou the blood. m7
Vegetine is Sold by All Druggists.
