Sljc Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA, OA.:
Wednesday Morning, October 13,1875.
CURRENT TOPICS.
The New Constitution of Alabama.
We are indebted to the Eufaula Times
for a copy of the new constitution of
Alabama, which will be submitted to
popular vote November 16. The con
vention was called by an act of the last
Legislature. There can be no doubt
that the old constitution stood much in
need of revision. The convention which
adopted that instrument was called by
Gen. John Pope, commander of the
Military District of Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida, in 1867, uuder the Recon
struction acts of Congress. It was sub
mitted to the people in February, 1868,
and defeated, a majority of the
registered voters of the State fail
ing to vote in its favor. By an
act of Congress, passed March 26th of
the same year, however, the constitu
tion was declared adopted, and Ala
bama was admitted to Congressional
representation. The disturbed and
chaotic condition of affairs in the State
at the time of the drafting of that con
stitution was not favorable to a work
requiring so much wisdom and dis
crimination as constitution-making,
and it has never been regarded with
feelings of satisfaction or admiration.
We proceed to give a careful abstract
of the new constitution:
The bill of rights of the new instru
ment is, in its general provisions, the
counterpart of our own in this State.
All men are declared “equally free and
independent.” Section 2 declares that
“all persons resident in this State, born
in the United States, or naturalized, or
who have legally declared their inten
tion to become citizens of the United
States, are hereby declared citizens of
the State of Alabama, possessing equal
civil and political rights.” The
right to change their form of
government as may be deemed ex
pedient is declared to be an in
alienable right of a free people, in
whom political power is inherent. In
dictment by grand jury is dispensed
with only “in cases of petit larceny, as
sault, assault and battery, affray, un
lawful assemblies, vagrancy, and other
misdemanors.” Section 15 provides
that the State of Alabama shall never
be made defendant in any court of law
or equity.” The General Assembly has
heretofore had the power to cause
suits to be brought against the State
in her own courts, a practice which has
proved vexatious and expensive. The
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus
is put out of the power of the State
authorities. Personal and property
rights are amply guarded. Sec
tion 27 gives to every citizen “the
right to bear arms in defense
of himself and the State.” Immigra
tion is encouraged, and “no form of
slavery shall exist in the State other
wise than for the punishment of crime.”
Section 35 reads as follows : “ The peo
ple of this State accept as final the es
tablished fact that from the Federal
Union there can be no secession of any
State.” There was an animated dis
cussion over this section, and it was re
garded by many delegates as an un
necessary acknowledgement of past in
discretions. Legislation imposing “ed
ucational or property qualification Tor
suffrage or office, or any restraint upon
the same on amount of race, color or pre
vious condition of servitude ” is prohib
ited. The Senators and Representatives
are elected as before, the former for four,
the latter for two years, one-half the
former and all the latter being chosen
at each election, but the elections are
made biennial, occurring upon the first
Monday in August. They were form
erly annual, and occurred on the Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem
ber. There are careful safeguards
against improper special and local le
gislation, and the State is prohibited
from engaging in works of internal im
provement, or lending its credit in aid
of such; nor can the General Assem
bly authorize cities or towns to lend
their credit or grant money to private
corporations, or to become stOv.k hold
ers therein. The State has lately suffered
severely by the unwise use of this
form of subsidy. Church, charitable,
and school property is exempted from
taxation, and the State tax levy is
limited to three-fourths of one per cent.
The State debt must not be increased,
save for purposes of defense or to pro
vide for public safety, but temporary
loans may be negotiated to meet de
ficiencies. County, city and town tax
levies are limited to one-half of one
per per cent, after the payment of ex
isting indebtedness, to which the ex
cess allowed must be exclusively ap
plied untii it is extinguished.
The Board of Education is abolished,
and the provisions relating to education
are somewhat carefully drawn, and
legislative in their character. The
General Assembly must establish free
schools for all children between the
ages of seven and twenty-one years,
“but separate schools shall be provided
for the children of citizens of African
descent.” The supervision of the
schools of the State is vested in a Su
perintendent of Education. The abuse
of corporate power is pretty fully pro
vided against. Stockholders in private
corporations are individually liable only
for the amount of their unpaid stock.
A curious, but perhaps useful, piece
of special prohibition is that of forbid
ding any telegraph company to consoli
date with, or own a controlling interest
in the stock of any competing line, or
to purchase or in any way acquire such
lines. Banks must always be estab
lished upon a specie basis, and all their
notes must be redeemable in gold and
silver, and their suspension of specie
payments, directly or indirectly, is for
bidden, and banks and banking com
panies muet close tbeir business in
twenty years from the time of organ
ization, unless the time is extend
ed by the General Assembly. Trans
portation companies are forbidden
to grant free passes to members of the
General Assembly, or sell to them tick
ets at a discount. Extortionate rates
are to be provided agaiust by legisla
tion. A married woman’s property, real
and personal, is exempt from liability
for her husband’s debts, and is to be
in all respects enjoyed by her as if she
were femme sole. The Bureau of In
dustrial resources is abolished, and the
laws requiring .a decennial census in
the year 1875 are annulled. The in
crease of salaries during the term of
office is forbidden. “ Gerrymandering ”
is prevented by a provision that the
apportionment of representation to be
made as directed, in 1880, shall not be
altered until after the next decennial
United States census.
In the eyes of Judaism no sinner has
sunk too low, has receded too far from
the original fountain, but that sincere
repentance and an earnest will to reform
might bring him back to God and re
establish him in the ranks of the good,
the virtuous, the pure ; and the day of
Atonement is instituted as the period
in the year in which all Israel should
appear before God, and every individ -
ual repenting earnestly of his past mis
deeds should make earnest resolve to
open anew leaf and begin anew life.
[Jewish Times.
A woman down at Martin’s Ferry,
Ohio, keeps a barrel behind the house
for her husband to sleep in when he
comes home and finds the door locked,
and that man would lay down his life
for her.

DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN
DICE, NAUSEA. SICK HEADACHE, CON
STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS.
It is eminently a Family Medicine
