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 ing to turn aside from my argument a mo ment to lay a flower on his grave, ix 18(11 a convention was called to consider the relations of Georgia to the United States.

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 phereof the Senate galleries, to escape the biting 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 milla in South Georgia. 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. The garnishment bill passed the Senate yesterday. Hereafter the wages of a day laborer or mechanic' are not aubject to garnishment for debt.

But this only served io bring a smile and blush to the young Senator's face as he quietly stored It away In desk.

Leave of absence was granted to the Senator from the 22d District (the President), and also to Senator NoUnson, of th* 16th District, 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.

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. COMMERCIAL. Hkbald office, Atlanta, feeo. 4, ia ATLANTA COTTON MARKET. Cotton closed at 11>£ for middlings.
