JOS. TILLMAN. Editor.
THURSDAY. APRIL 5. 1877.
Breaking (iai's Failli.
If anything were wauling to prove
thnt 'lr. H '■'<••• is more of u trickster
than a states man, his conduct for the
short time be has been in the Execu
tive chair would determine that point
in anyone’s mind save his estimable
wife, and the happy congregation at
tho Foundry church where ho wor
ships.
Mr. Foster gave assurances to the
Southern Congressmen that if they
would not aid the filibustering scheme
indulged in by Northern and South
ern members alike, of the XLTVtIi
Congress to force anew election, that
the Federal troops would be with
drawn from tho States of South Car
and Louisiana immediately after his
inauguration.
Air. Stanley Mathews entered into
a negotiation also with prominent
Southern statesmen, beaded by Sena
tor Gordon, to the same effect, olily
with this marked emphasis, “ subject
only to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, and the laws made in pur
suance thereofand we are told from
Washington that the friends of Air.
Hayes, fearing that his Presidential
cake was becoming all dough, and
that very rapidly, visited Grant just a
few hours before his term expired,
and induced him to issue an order
withdrawing the troops, which order
was handed 10 Gen. Sherman ; but
for some unaccountable delay never
got any further than Don Cameron’s
pocket ; and it was hidden in the
Hayesy atmosphere which was then
surrounding Washington as a besom
of destruction to civil liberty.
What feelings of contempt and
scorn must now arise in every honest
heart at Hayes's keeping his friends'
promises to tho ear and breaking
them to the hope ? Can the stream
rise higher than its fountain ? When
it is recollected that Morton, Blaine
& Cos. are the recognized leaders of
the Republican party, the brilliant
Colliding not brooking the great
fraud, and tiiat Hayes was but a crea
ture of compromise at Cincinnati ;
that all his public life displays a weak,
negative character ; how can tho
Southern people have any hankering
after office under tho ‘great un-elect-,
ed,’ surpasses our comprehension.
We arc informed that the gallant Gor
don almost weeps and is tempted to
swear over this weakness of office
seeking 7 , as is being exhibited daily
by the hundreds of applications he is
receiving for place and pelf.
Let the headers of public opinion,
and the Press of tho South, labor in
and out of scisoa, in warning tho
people of the inevitable consequences
likely to follow the consummation of
such a scheme of office-holding run
mad. Why, accept an office from a
man who has no decision of character,
or respect for his oath of office? Is
there any cause, human or Divine, for
quartering and keeping the military
foisted over the civil law in Louisiana
and South Carolina? We notice that
Gov. Hampton lias returned from his
visit to Washington, where lie went
iu the interest of peace and reconcil
iation ; and while wo read tho char
acter of Carolina's noble sou, through
his burning words, “so help me God
to take nothing else, - ’ we feel sure
that his life is of no eonsoquence if
his countrymen are to suffer the hu
miliation of Chamberlain’s reign of
plunder and self-aggrandisement any
longer ; and we feel certain that no
Chamberlain will ever lied and board
in the State House again, or return to
the State he has so conspicuously dis
graced.
Louisiana’s cass is very different.
Hayes’s right to the Presidency comes
front the decision made by the infa
mous Grand Higb.-low-jaek-and-game
Commission, and we are fearful that
military government awaits that im
happy State, or else Ilayes decides
against himself, and thus ackowl
edge his baseness as well as weak
ness, and hell only will be a refuge
from the storm of obloquy yet to ho
heaped upon him b\ the American
people.
But there is a crumb of comfort in
the reflection that Congress will in a
measure right the wrong, and that
this great ltepublic will soon be with
out a standing army to do the Presi
dent’s dirty work.
The suspense is still kept up, busi
ness is languishing, and everything
uncertain and unstable in the Peli
can State.
The President dosen’t trouble him
self much about Washington eti
quette. Wanting a little talk with
Garfield Wednesday he jiißt put on
his hat and strolled to the Congress
man’s bouse, instead of sending a
messenger to summon Garfield to the
White House. He has also decided
to abolish the old practice of having
visitors at the White House reception
introduced by the Marshal ot the
District of Columbia. — I'hda'Mphvj

lit 1 warding Iniquity.
Stearns never forgets a friend or a
favor, even if he has to lie to get, his
friends in office.
News reaches us that. Samuel B.
Ate Lin, late Secretary of State under
Hart, who appointed him to that pos
sition because they were both scala
wags, and later under Stearns, has
been appointed Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of New Alexico,
by His Fraudulency.
Ate Lin is one of the most unsavory
and contemptible of all the scalawag
crew who lorded over the Floridians
during the Republican regime in
Florida. He was such a drunkard
that even Purtnan could not keep him
as a clerk in the U. S. Revenue office
at Gainesville. When he edited tlie
Lake City Herald, his paper was
known because of his peculiar fitness
in abusing men better than himself ;
hence Hart rewarded him by the ap
pointment of Secretary of Stale, tor
I Ins dirty work during tho campaign
!of 1872. His confirmation was a
matter of doubt for four long, event
ful (lavs to him in the State Senate ;
but at last, after a promise to quit
getting drunk, any lying about loose
ion the streets like a mangy cur, he
; was confirmed.
His services were required on the
Tallahassee Sentinel, and he , continu
ed to edit that paper until it died, of
rottenness and corruption. AlcLin is
| a lawyer in name only; he was States
Attorney before crawling into tho
j cabinet. He will stifle justice and
screen Lis party friends'from merited
punishment; and if Tilden had been
inaugurated would have died, because
| of an opportunity to play the rascal
any longer. If a meaner man lives
than AlcLin, it is J. Madison Wells.
If it will only he cold enough to
; kill him, ho has no vitality, the peo-
I pie of New Alexico will be really
blessed by such an indirect visitation
of Providence.
We are sorry to be able to inform
the Now York daily journals that he
1 has a white skin. He is not a color
!ed man, and it is really a slur upon
the “ man and brother” for the usu
ally well informed journals of New
York city to make such a mistake.
Reed’s Secretary of State was a
j colored man, who died of grief, his
: race nominating Pnrman for Congress
in the fall of 187-1. His name was
Jonathan C. Gibbs.
The Question of :i Const itulioiia! j
Convention
j
The experience of the past nine
years has developed the necessity foi
a few important changes in the pres- J
cut Constitution :
Ist. There should be embodied in j
the fundamental law an absolute pro
hibition of “State aid” in any form
whatever.
2nd. The General Assembly should 1
only once in two when
convened in extra jsetfsion by the exe
cutive, and the compensation of the
members and officers ought to bo fix
ed iu the fundamental law.
3rd. There should be one uniform
tribunal for the management of coun
ty affairs throughout the State. Some
counties now have Commissioners for
this purpose ; in others the county
business is in the bands of the Ordi
diuarv, and in others still, it is lodg
; ed in the hands of the County Judge.
These changes in our present sys
tem would secure to the State an av
erage annual saving of seventy-five
thousand dollars. We must have
these changes, or raise the taxes !
Private rights ought not to be dis
j turbed. If we are to have a now
Constitution, it ought to have the
hearty .sanction of the whole people.
I The best way to secure the popular
| sanction, is to send the ablest, the
most unselfish, and the most prudent
men in the State to make the Consti
tution. Let the people summon such
: men as Charles J. Jenkins, and Her
: schel V. Johnson to revise our funda
mental law and all will be well. But
iif political quacks, scramblers for
place, and journeymen pretenders to
statesmanship are to take charge of
the movement, then it would ho well
to vote down the Convention.
Ex-Gov. Brown writes a three col
umn letter to the Chronicle and Con
nlitulionalid, in response to a query
as to what his views are on the sub
ject of Southern men taking office
under Hayes, from which we extract
the following:
“Whatever view' individual Demo
; crats may take as to the inexpediency
ior inexpediency of accepting office
under the present Administration, the
Democratic party, and each individ
ual member of it, should bear con
stantly in mind the injustice and
fraud bv which their gallant leaders,
Tilden and Hendericks, were cheated
! out of the positions to whicli the
people, following the lead of the Dem
: ocracy, had legally and fairly elected
| them; and each and every Democrat
j should resolve, whether in or out of
: office, to do no act, and make no con
cession which can in any way divide
j us, or endanger the triumphant .sue
■ cess of the party, in t he next election,
' by overwhelming majorities.**

ATLANTA MUST HAVE A SENSATION.
SUNSET COX LECTURES TO A I
HATTY AUDIENCE.

(Solid Joke on Hampton The Con
vention. Etc.
Atlanta, Ga., March 29,1877.
Editor Reporter: Atlanta must
have a sensation; if she can’t get up
! one in the shape of a murder, a sui
cide, or a fire, (all of which she has
had very lately,) she will send to the
j Northwest and bring down a lot of
I excursionists, or to Texas for a big
flag. One of the latest sensations was
a New York lecturer in the person of
Hon S. S. Cox, euphoniously called
Sunset Cox. This gentleman deliv
ered a very entertaining and amusing
lecture lust Friday evening on “Irish
Humor.” By tho way, tho telegraph
wires made quite a mistake in telling
us that, his theme was, “Just Hu
man.” If the mistake was calculated
to mislead the expectant hearers, it
furnished to tho lecturer a very pleas
ant way of introducing himself and
his lecture. It was not the privilege
of the writer to hear the eloquent
gentleman, but tho general verdict
! is that tho lecture was intensely in
teresting and enjoyable.
When you organize your Library
Association, you too may enjoy the
same pleasure which the Atlanta Li
brary Association provided for our
1 cit : zens. I am glad to know that the
people of Quitman have determined
to have a Library. It is a sure sign
of progress and improvement, and I
hope that the highest measure of suc
| cess will crown this laudable effort.
Somebody has said, “One great
need of our country is good, books
and more of them.” I generally, as
you do, form my estimate of a man
by the company he keeps. I also
form my estimate of a family by the
books I find in the house.
The same may be said of a com
munity. Its culture and refinement
will generally be in proportion to the
books and periodicals read anil circu
lated. I once asked R. D., a member
of H. 11. church, why it was that his
church was so much more active,
I wide-awake and liberal than many
others. He replied about as follows:
| “Weinke the Index and Slute Grange,
attend the associations, conventions
and other gatherings, and know what
is going on in the world.”
One of the most painful things to j
me iu niv peregrinations is to see the
absence of books and papers in many
families that I visit. Sometimes I
see only a Bible, a patent office re
port, and an almanac, and occasion
ally that is out of date !
I once spent the flight vitli a
preacher (not in Georgia), and had
occasion to ask for our denominational
paper. “Don’t take it,” said he. “Do ;
you take any religious paper ?” I
asked. “No,” ho replied; “if they'll
let me alone, I’ll let them alone."
“Do you take any secular paper?” I
again asked. “No.” “Don’t you
want to know what is going on in the
world?” “No, so I make a livin';
that’s all I care for.” (!)
A poor living, I thought, for his
wife and children—no books, no pa
pers. This same man fed mo on fat
middling meat, when he had a line
lot of nice hams hanging up in his
smoke-house! Yon would’ut expect
much of him, would you ?
Give ns books, good books and
plenty of them. Give us papers, good
papers (not too much politics in
them), and plenty of them. Give us
books, and we can talk with Socrates,
Plato and Aristotle. Give us books,
| and we can hear Hall, Wesley and
Whitfield preach. Give us books,
and we can hear Copernicus, La Place
and Newton talk of nature and her
wonders. Give us books, and we can
travel on land and water with Colum
bus, Humbolt, Kane and Livingstone,
(five us books, and we can enjoy the
I company of the muses with Spencer,
Sbakspeare, Milton and Young. Give
us papers, too—religious and secular,
with a slight sprinkling of the politi
cal ! That father who proposes to
rear a family of children without
books and papers has but a feeble
sense of responsibility, or a very
slight conception of tho truth that
“knowledge is power.” Then go on
with your Library movement, and
don’t stop til! all classes of good
books and papers are accessible to
young and old.
To change the subject, we are all
wondering hero how Hampton and
Chamberlain will settle their troubles
at Waulnnghrnt Mauy think that it
is an effort on the part of Mr. Haves
to get Hampton down and out. We
shall be surprised if Chamberlain and
Packard are not recognized in thiity
days.
I must tell you a good joke on
Hampton. During the recent heated
canvass in South Carolina, everybody,
old and young, except the Radicals,
■were wont to cry out on all proper
occasions, (and on some improper
ones, as will be seen,) “Hurrah fur
Hampton ! Hurrah for Hampton !’
On a Sabbath, during the excitement,‘
a child was taken to an Episcopal
church to be christened. As the
father held tho little fellow ill his
arms in front of the clergyman, who,
by tlio way, was a Republican, ho
raised himself up and cried out at the
top of his voice: “Hooyinv for Hamp
ton !” His brother, about a year
older, sitting near by, said: “You,
dog you, wlmt you holler ‘hoovaw for
Hampton in do church for?” Tho
audience found it difficult, if not im
jpossible, to maintain their dignity, as
j you may imagine, and the preacher
hurried through with the ceremony
! as rapidly as possible.
One of the chief topics of conversa
tion, and the most fruitful theme for
newspaper articles, is the approaching
conventional election. Fulton county
has an abundant crop of candidates,
who iiro willing to serve the county
and State “to the brut of their abitili/.”
Every other county may say the same,
I presume. How about Brooks?
V.
The Convention.
Editor Reporter: Tho State of
Georgia will, from all indications,
have a convention to make anew
Constitution or change the old one
tho present year. The organic law
to be fashioned by that hotly is not
to bo designed for any particular pe
riod or emergency, and should not he
regarded as a temporary make-shift
or emergency, looking to present dif
ficulties or defective legislation—
should not bo made in the interest of
any clique, caste or race—but should
be enacted for the conservation of the
rights and liberties of all who are
citizens and belong to the body poli
tic, and for all time to come.
Great care should, therefore, be i
exercised to exclude mere local puli- J
ticians and partisans who may be
aspiring to seats in the convention;!
and to this end all agitation should !
bo deprecated, and every appeal to j
the passions and prejudices of the j
masses should be frowned down.
What we want is an assemblage of j
the wise and pure minds of the coin- j
monwealth, embracing, if possible, all
the sections of tho State. The jn-1
diciary and legal lore of the State
should he represented there —the
intelligent farmer, the educated me
chanic, and experienced statesman
and skillful financier.
All those parties should he sought
for by discerning public opinion, and
he who would resort to electioneering
tricks to secure a place in the con
vention should be severely rebuked.
There are men within the boundaries
of this district, ex-Congressrnen and
jurists, former Senators and Repre
sentatives, and agriculturists, who,
like Cincinnntus, are driving the
plow—learned professors of colleges
| and schools, commissioners, and in any
other noble citizens out of the politi
cal harness —who would grace and
adorn this convention or any other.
We trust, therefore, that there will
be no eabaling, treating, bull-dozing,
or any other tricks for seats in the
convention. Let the people speak
through the press, or in primarily as
sembling after mature deliberation,
and so choose who they want to rep
i resent them. Georgia is able to
gather together a convention of citi-
S zens who would be an honor to any
.Slate or country, and this can be
done if politicians and party backs
can be induced to stand aside, and
allow tho people to select their man
or men without any. undue influence
i or interference.
This district is entitled to four del
egates. Thomas' ‘county thinks she
is entitled to two. If this is so, then
Brooks and Colquitt are entitled to
! each one delegate, 'the Thomasville
papers have declared in favor of a
convention, but our local press is
mum. Citizen.

THE
Atlanta Constitution.
I yXDER ITS NEW MANAGEMENT,
C The Atlanta Constitution has won
for itself the title of the leading journal of
the South. Its enterprise, during the re
cent election excitement, in sending corre
spondents to different portions of the coun
try, and its series of .special telegrams from
Washington while the electoral commission
was engaged in consummating the fraud that
placed Radicalism once more in power in
our national councils, are evidences con
spicuous enough to prove that no expense
will be spared to make tlqp Com titution not
only a leader in the discussion of matters of
public concern, but a leader in the dissemi
nation of the latest and most reliable news.
There is no better time than now to sub
scribe for a fresh and vigorous newspaper.
Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement
of one of the most dilh ult and dangerous
problems of modern mleril politics, the
discussions springing therefrom and the re
sults likely to ensue have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to this,
the people of Georgia are now called upon to
settle the convention question, and in the
dissension of this important subject (in
which the Constitution will take a leading
part) every Georgian is interested. If a
convention is called its proceedings will
find their earliest and fullest embodiment in
the columns of the Constitution, and this
fact alone will m ike the paper indispensable
to every citizen of the State. To be brief,
The Atlanta Daily Constitution
will endeavor, by all the means that the
progress of modern jounmli-m has made
possible and necessary, to hold its place as a
leader of Southern opinion and as a pur
veyor of the latest news. Its editorials will
be thoughtful, timely and vigorous -calm
and argumentative in their methods and
thoroughly Southern and Democratic in
their sentiments. Its news will be fresh,
reliable and carefully digested. It will be
alert and enterprising, and no expense will
bo spared to make it the medium of the latest
and most important intelligence.
The Weekly Constitution.
Besides embodying everything of interest
in the daily, the Weekly Constitution will
contain a Department, of Agriculture, which
will be in charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson,
the well-known Secretary of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society. This depart
ment will be made a specialty, and will be
thorough and complete. The farmer will
find in it not only all the current informa
tion on the subject of agriculture, but timely
suggestions and well-digested advice.
