The defeat in tbe House of the “State

and satisfactory conclusion of a long and
fieroe straggle to commit tbe State again
to tbe rninens policy of offering bounties
on railroads.
'Whatever difference of opinion may
have existed on this subject heretofore,
the practical results of this policy in Geor
gla should leave none now. The State
has lost whatever she has adventured in
this business. She has sunk millions in
it, with no corresponding benefit to tbe
poopie; and wbat she has done in Ibis
business, to her own hnrt, has established
a bid precedent, which cannot too scon
be repudiated, disallowed and abandoned
for all time to come.
Let us return to tho true Democratic
theory of government. Its legitimate
duties are simple and plain; but when
it goes beyond these into the shadowy
realms of business speculation, develop
ment, fostering, cherishing, stimulating
and so on, it is on bod and dangerous
ground. The State Legislature has no

the right to recommend the call, and the
Honse has already by a respectable major
ity so derided. Why, then, if really friendly
to tbe convention, intimate, “that there
are at least reasonable grounds upon
which tbe Senate may base a reversal of
tbo action of tbe Honse of Representa
tives in failing to remit the question to
tho people.”
Wo have only to S3y that such a course
would do much to revive old excitements,
and exploded antipathies between the
races, and the Legislature ought to bo
willing to assnme all proper responsibili'
ty in tho premises.
If the Capital question was out of the
way wo would hear of very little opposl
tion to the convention. Why not, then,
introduce and pass a separate bill provl
ding that the words removal or no removal
be indorsed upon all tbe ballots cast at
tbe proposed election for delegates to the
Convention ? This would place the mat
ter where it ought to be, directly before
tho people for their decision. What

It was the privilege of tho writer to

Darmouth College.—Concord, N. H:,
February 1.—At a meeting of the trustees
of Darmouth College, held to-day^ Prof.
Samuel C. Bartlett, of Chicago, was
chosen President, ice Rev. Aea D. Smith,
resigned.
Constitutional convention, which every
principle’of self-respect, dignity and jus
tice demand.
The Co nsiitution, which says it favors
the call of a convention, still asserts
that there is a very general apathy on the
subject, particularly in Southern Georgia,
and to prove it, cites from an economy
article, of the Valdosta Times.
Now, if any such apathy exists, it is tbe
apathy of i-ositwe assurance. No one
has deemed that there wonld be any seri
ous opposition to tbe measure, and so con
fident were the people of this, that it was
I tainly to swamp tbe whole document:
First, to so amend tho present oharter
as not to allow tbo City Conneil nothing
bat a lioense tax to pay toe onrrent ex
penses of tho city. This we hold to be
wrong from prinoiple, because if granted,
it wonld foroo tbe council to levy snch a
license tax as wonld deprive its poor citi
zens from doing business in tbe city, and
farther it wonld amount to class legisla
tion, whioh is unconstitutional.
Two negatives in the foregoing brother
Ecu’s, bnt wo see what yon are driving at,
and indorse every word in that para
graph. If Macon had to run her city
machinery by tbe licenso tax alone there
would soon bo no merchants here to take
out licenses.
Beaver Trifpiko is Georgia.—Mr.
G. S- Johnson, of Atlanta, has captured
recently and sold tho furs of twelve
beavers, threo otters and several
coons. Ha is now operating on the Ook-
lockoneo and will spend the winter in the
trapping business.
Not Constitutional. —Hon. R. J.
Moses, of Muscogee, has discovered that
the act creating toe University of Geor
gia has in it a section having its origin
as far back as 1783, which is also pro.
scriptive, and not sustained by the con
stitution of toe State. VTo refer to the
following section, to amend which Major
Moses has taken action, that its religions
proscription may be extracted:
§1, 203 (1.208). Ofieers shall le of the
Christian Religion,—All officers elected
or appointed for the University shall be
of the Christian Religion, but no person
of any religious denomination shall be
excluded from equal advantages of edu
cation and tbe immunities of tbe Uni
versity, on account of their speculative
in sentiments in religion, or being of a
different religious profession from the
trustees or faculty.
No Hazard in That Hazard.—The
Savannah Kerrs says tbe Hazard family in
this city and State are to be congratulated
on falling heir to an estate worth $15,000,-
000, in Bristol, England. " This infor
mation comes through legal gentlemen—
Colonel W. G. McAdoo, of MilledgveiIIe>
and Colonel W. Robert Gignillat, of Da
rien. These gentlemen state that all
that is requisite to establish a claim to
this property is the proof of descent of
the American Hazard family from the
family in Bristol, England. This sine
qua non is not difficult, and it is therefore
most probable that the few surviving di
rect heirs, if the matter lie properly man
aged, will soon be enabled to enjoy this
goodly windfall. The legal heirs of this
estate, as far as we are enabled to learn,
are Mrs. Issabella Fioyd, now deceased,
who has two children residing m Savan
nah—Mrs. Miry Hazard Hamilton,
mother of Harmadnke Hamilton, Esq-,
and Mrs. Dr. LsRcacb, and other sons
and daugters living at various places in
Georgia and Florida. Mrs. Mary J, Ba
con, sister of Mrs. Floyd, also deceased,
hose only living child is Mrs. S. A. Fra
ser, residing at Hinesville, Liberty
county, Georgia. Wm. H. Hazard, se
nior brother of Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Ba
con, was the third of the direct heirs.
Surviving him are only two children, Al
len B. Hazard, Esq., and Mrs. Louise
White, of this city.”

Q.—Does that conclude your question?
The Chairman—Oh, answer the ques
tion or not,
Mr. Tusker—Wo will take a vote to Eeo
if such conduct on too part of the witness
should be tolerated in the committee.
Tho Chairman—Tho question is wheth»]
er the committee will require tho witness
toanswer. The sentence of reprobation

ing.
The Witness—Then I am a vassal.
The Chairman—Keep order, sir.
