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. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS. DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN DICE, NAUSEA. SICK HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS. It is eminently a Family Medicine and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a dollar in time, and doctors’ bills. After Forty Years’ trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons of the highest character and responsibility. . Eminent physicians commend It as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain in the Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and r orebpdings of Evil, all or which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the dis ease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness, and DEATH will ensue. IF you feel Dull, Drowsy, Debili tated, have frequent Headache, Mouth Tastes badly, poor appetite and Tongue Coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or ‘ Biliousness,” and nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently. “I have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant rem edy in my lire.”—H. Hainek, St. Louis, Mo. llon. Alex. H. Stephens. “I occasionally use, when my condition requires it, Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator, with good effect.” — Hon. alex. H. Ste phens.

Gill Shorter, Alabama. “I have used the Regulator in my family for the past seventeen years. I can safely recommend it to the world as the best medicine I have ever used for that class of diseases it purports to cure.”—H. F. Thig pen. President of City Bank. “Simmons’ Liver Regulator has proved a good and efficacious medicine.”— C. A. Nut ting. Druggists. “We have been acquainted with Dr. Sim mons’ Liver Medicine for more than twen ty years, and know it to be the best Liver Regulator offered to the public.”—M. R. Lyon and H. L. Lyon, Beliefoutaiue, Ga. “I was cured by Simmons’ Liver Regula tor, after having suffered several years with Chills and Fever.”—R. F. Anderson.

Professional. “From actual experience in the use of this medicine in my practice, I have been, and am satisfied to use and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.”—Dr. J. W. Mason. M. E. Florida Conference. “I have used Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regu lator in my family for Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, and regard it an invaluable remedy.
