The Constiti: i’ionai, Convention. —
The convention movement' appears
to be gaining friends daily at the
State Capital, and oti last to.tmfflay
the special committee on the lull to
rail n constitutional convention rc
ported a bill authorizing the Govern
or to submit tho question to the peo

to have on their ballots “For Conven

a majority he cast Jin favor, tho con

first Wednesday in June. The basis
of representation is eleven delegates
from each congressional district, mak
ing 99 in all. Electors can vote for
delegates at the election on the same
ballot. $25,000 is appropriated for
the expenses. The bill was read the
first time.
An “enjoyable affair” on tlie leap
year plan is thus reported in a letter
from Louisiana., to the St. Louis
] ul>li<vn: “The young gentlemen
wore invited by tho ladies and re
quested to assemble at a certain dry
goods store, where tho girls called at
the appointed hour and escorted them
in an omnibus to tlio hall. Instead
of gentlemen rustling round with pen
cil in hand to mark engagements on
the progamines, the order of the even
ing was reversed, and the fair dam
sels beseiged their gentlemen guests,
calling for their cards and engaging
their partners for tlm ditfbrentdances.
When tho mission refreshments ar
rived, fair ladies were to ho seen
leading brave men to the oyster sup
per, as lambs to the altar. Supper
was served in Womack’s restaurant,
under the hall, where again the girls
showed true leap-year grit by paying
for the boys’ suppers. The gentle
men wore their coats pinned back,
and were addressed as “Miss,” while
the bewitching ladies assumed the
role of “Mister.”
The debate on tho amnesty" bill
threatened to he tho beginning of a
troublesome and dangerous stale of
things. If lias turned out to bo only
the end of Mr. Blaine as a political
loader. “The tears live in an onion
that should water this sorrow.”
the bluster that Mr. Blaine could sum
mon yesterday did i. it serve to con
ceal his consciousness that lie was
beaten. A man boat in such au at
tempt as his to fan the embers of civ- i
il war to a flame, is in a situation as I
odious and contemptible as any party
could wish for its rival, or any party
for its leader. In his confusion Mr.
Blaine resorted to a demagogue’s
trick which lie has sense enough,
when ho is not confused, to know is a
very shallow trick. It was an at
tempt to wriggle out of his original
proposition to inflict a peculiar pub
lic disgrace upon Jefferson Davis by
representing it to Vie merely opposi
tion to pay him peculiar honor; as il
it were not absurd to describe as an
honor that which everybody pos sens
es by being horn and growing up to
he twenty-one years old in tho United
States. If ho iiad succeeded in what
he set out to do, ho would have suc
ceeded by an appeal to sectarian hate
and sectional hate, which are as low
passions as any low politician ever
tried to stir up. If lie had succeed,
therefore, be would lmvo become in
-1 famous. But lie has failed to do any
thing hut waste four days of good
time, and nobody in his souses will he
likely to pickup Mr. Blaine, of Maine,
for a political leader agaiu.— New

[Special Tolef'rapliio Corrospoudeuco of the
Courier-Journal.]
Washington, January IL- Tho sen
sation of to-dnv is Ben. Hills great,
j speech in reply to Bluino’s arraign
: ment of Jefferson Davis. Had con
siderations of mere parly policy con
trolled tho quo. lion, Mr. Hill might,
I perhaps, have remained silent. But
! there was much more than policy to
be consulted. Mr. Blaine Lad delib
erately and in tho foulest language
denounced Mr. Davis, as tho head of
tho Confederate Government, for the
J horrors of Andersonville; and his
1 charge, if true, was, as all felt, an in—
-1 delible stigma upon the humanity and
civilization of tho South. Asa per
! sonal friend of Mr. Davis, it was not
manly for Mr. Hill to sit still and heui
him libeled. It was felt by nearly all
i from tho South that somebody should
get, up and tell tho truth in her vindi
cation.
Mr. Hill did this duty to-dav, and
to a crowded house and gallery. Bare
ly h&S a speaker commanded closer
attention or a higher audience. So
far as Air. Blaine was personally con
cerned, ho avoided all person; l ’dies,
and he took pains to express hi3 re
gret, at being called from Ins proper
field of duty to fight over the iusues
of the war." Taking up the subject of
Andersonville, Mr. Hill proceeded to
show chat the cutircpolicy ofthe Con
federate Government on Hie subject
of prisoners had been humane and
i framed according to the usages of
j war, and that tho sufferings of tho
I brave men of the North in Andcrsoii
ville were chiefly attributable to tin
action of tho Federal Government,
and that tho Confederate Govern
ment bad earnestly and repeatedly
striven, for an exchange of prisoners,
and that the Federal Government had
refused it on considerations of policy.
Mr. Hill showed, moreover, that the
sufferings of the Confederates in
Northern prisons had been greater
than those at Andersonville, and
proved by Air. Stanton’s official re
port in 18'io that the per cent, of mor
tality was three percent- greater in
the "Northern than in the Southern
(prisons. Speaking of the Union army
’in the highest tonus, Air. Hid made
no reflections oil the body of the
Northern people, and he especially
complimented those war Democrats
who wanted to stop tho war after
Loo’s surrender.
Air. J]ill’s peroration was striking
ly eloquent and impressive. Ho said
the South was in Congri as and tho t n
| ion, and meantto stay there. They ielt,
jat homo. Tho argument was from a
i Union standpoint, and was conciliato
ry to all save the Radicals, whom he
; defied. Asa vindication of the honor
; and humanity of tho South in the war,
j and especially on the subject of the
i exchange of prisoners, the speech Was
; t riumphaut. In eloquence and power
|of argumentation, in dearness, readi
ness and rhetoric, it wan indeed a re
markable oration. Some Democrats
are of opinion that Air. Hill ought to
have be< n less unf irgiviug to the Re
publicans, while speaking for amnes
ty, and that lie might, without injus
tice to his own ci*so, have met tlm
malice of the Republican leaders with
; li appeal for a general reconciliation
all around on the basis of mutual re
spect and confidence.
THE RETUiILICANS UNCOMFORTABLE.
The Republicans were very uncom
fortable during the two hours’ speech.
Palpably, they hud not dreamed that
such a powerful vindication could bo
made, and based upon unimpeacha
ble testimony. Blaine looked badly
hacked to-day, and out of spirits. No
honest smile lias illuminated his
countenance since tho dressing he got
yesterday from Sam Cox. Garfield
was evidently unhappy, and showed
by his interruptions how sore he felt.
TUB NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.
The Northern Democrats listened
with great eagerness and solicitude,
ft is, indeed, a great and perhaps a
doubtful question, whether, even in
this the Centennial year, tho public
mind of the North will tolerate a vin
dication of Southern character, honor
and humanity, even in reply to the
foulest, bitterest denunciations on the
! floors of Congress. It is a common
remark in all political circles here
that the game of Air. Blaino and his
associates is to excite sectional con
troversy, revive the discussion of the
war, and, by renewing passion and
hatred, elect a Republican President.
Tho Democrats are very anxious to
block this game. The trouble, how
ever, is that there are hero a lot of
ignorant provinicai mediocrities in
Congress from the South, who are too
stupid to adopt the proper methods
to counteract and foil the catanic tac
tics of the enemies of tho people.
These small moil cannot see beyond
their own districts, and appeals to
them to take a broad and bold course
of patriotism seems to fall on deaf
ears.
'-iiwrr.onTi.\:\T!rn’.
Mr. Garfield is booked for the next
speech on the amnesty bill, Joe Black
burn, of Kentucky, comes next; then
Reagan, of Texas, and a number of
others. There is a decided disposi
tion among the Democratic members
to let Garfield have his say and then
take the vote. The result is very
doubtful. If tho amnesty bill is car
ried, it will be by the Republican
friends of the Centennial. The two
measures are apparently in tho same
boat.
[New York Tribune, Editorial. \
Air. Hill’s speech in the house yes
terday ou the amnesty bill was not
quite so lively an easy as that of Air.
Cox the day before, but it. conveyed
some more startling assertions. Most
northern readers will be surprised at
tho comparison made between the
treatment of prisoners on either side
during tho war, and will licsitato to
accept tlm charge of cruelty that arc
brought against, our government.
(Tribune Washington Special.)
Air. Hill is regarded in (ho South
an one of tho strongest men sent, from
that sec toll to congress; and tho an
nouncement in the morning papers
that ho had the floor for to-day, drew
to the capitol the customary crowd of
curious listeners. Selecting a spot on
the Demmocrc.tic side of the house,
from which ho could bo easily hoard,
ami ranging before him on the desk
half a dozen books, from which he
was to quote, ho entered upon the
task as one accustomed to speak in
that place. His former service,
though long years have intervened
| since if ended, seemed to make him
| feel perfectly at homo. Almost every
member was in his scat, and listened
to the orator from boginiug to end ot
his long speech. It was strong in ar
gument, much stronger than it was
supposed a speech ou that side of the
question could ho, and was fortified
throughout with quotations from offi
cial documents and letters. It was
| no doubt a strango revelation to more
J than one veteran northern Democrat,
|to see the government of the United
| States arraigned for sufferings of un
| ion prisoner,-; in the South, to hear an
cx-Ooufodßrato senator quote history
to prove that tho po’icy of tho South
j was humane and that of tho i uitecl
| States brutal. One of the most start
ling assertion ; made by the speaker,
which he said was supported by the
| reports of Secretary Stanton and Sur
j geon General Barnes, was that of the
confederate prisoners in confederate
1 hands 12 per cent, died, while the na
■ ion prisoners in confederate hands,
only 9 per cent. died. Thcelosicg
: portions of tho speech will be those
i uio.-,t upon to criticism, it would be
j difficult for him to have found stron
ger words than ho used when li!) said
! that the South had come back, was
here in this chamber, and hero she
proposed to stay.
pdjtoewl to the Constitution.]
Washington, D. 0., January 11.—
Ben Hill’s reply to i.-laine to-day was
;ui unanswerable relrntal of tho let
ter’s slanders yesterday upon Air.
Davis and the Southern people. It
was listened to with marked atten
tion and applauded dining delivery
and at its close. While it was ealcu
: kited to offend fanatics arid fools, it
! was throughout a staunch Union
speech, and :..s such honestly reflected
the sentiments of the Southern men
iin Congress. Home milk-and- water
i Democrats think that Air. I bill was
too bold in his utterances, and de
| dare that Diane’s purpose was to pro
; voke just such a reply, but all tin
[capital Blaino and the third termers
| can make out of this speech will not
avail them much. They have been
taught a lesson %-day, and that is I
t hat hereafter they cannot slander the i
! South with impunity.

Editor Morning News:
Tlm active efforts of tbo above com- ;
pany to encourage the cultivation of
vegetables in Southern Georgia and
Florida are likely, I think, to promote
alike the interests of tho railroad and
the farmers in these sections. But
one very important —not to say essen
tial -step on tho part of the railroad
authorities, in furtherance of this en
terprise, they have failed to take; that
is a ri'iluefivn in the rate of freight on
fertiU:ers coming front (Savannah, i
'they have, on the contrary, as f am j
informed, actually increased it.- A
few years since tho charge for trans
porting a ton of manure from Savan
nah to Tullahassco was four dollars;
now it is five dollars, the advance be-1
ing on tho Savannah end of the line.
Ills well known by all who know any
thing on tho subject that vegetable
culture can only lie made profitable
by the use of fertilizers in immense
quantities. Near Now York the rule
is from one thousand to twelve hun
dred pounds of Peruvian guano per
acre, or an equivalent in other ma
nures.
Inasmuch as it would be safe for
(lie railroad to anticipate return
freight on a thousand tons of vegeta
bles for every ton of fertilizers which
it should send out to the truck grow
ers, might it not wisely and well trans
port the latter, without charge, to the
vegetable growers, looking for profits
on the crops to bo grown. At all
events, let the matter bo- considered.
