THt KHDAY MOHMNG, MARCH *, 1H77 Congress has adjourned, and the mem bers returned to their respective homes. The calling of an extra session of Con gress, has not, as yet, been fully deter mined upon. (ion- John T. Morgan, oleetcd to tho United States Senate from Alabama, had his scat ooutested by certain republicans of that region, but right has prevailed, snd last week was unanimously admitted to his seat. Fred. Douglas, of African doseont, has been confirmed by the United States Senate, Marshal of the DistriTi of Colum bia. Wont this create an odor about Hayes's administration? Mellifluous! hpap. The New York Sun says: “It was the Democrats in the Senate who secured the confirmation of the Cabinet with a demo eratic member. ’’ Has the time arrived, when “the lion ami the lamb shall lie down together, and a little child shall lead them?" Is it not an anomalous condition of affairs, thnt a President acceding to power after an embittered partisan contest, has at once deserted his supporters, and gone squarely and boldly into the ranks of the opposition for one of the heads of depat t - lnents? Mr. Hayes has done this, and yet, he receives assurances tin t it chime, in with the poplar sentiment ol the hour. Notwithstanding Mr. Hxyei was not, in our opinion, legally fleeted, yet, we say, now give him a fair chance. Hut it seems the more rabid of the republican, in tho Senate, did not thus view the ousc. For they not only hesitated, but fumed and raged amongst themselves about it, bofore they would confirm his cabinet nominations. Convention. T* the Editor of Th Gturtle: The Presidential contest has been set tled, and quiet restored without war, or bloodshed. Our Superior court has just closed its spring soesion; judge, juries and the legal profession all performed their several duties impartially ami with great ability. The next great question now before the people, is the Constitutional convention, which will assemble at the seat of govern ment next July. I do not feel that I have much personal interest in the con vention. My advanced age admonishes me that, according to nature, l shall soon go from whence no traveler returns. But it would afford me great pleasure in my last expiring hours to know that the present generation was in a prosperous and happy condition. In my judgment, the people no: have it in their power to so change tho organic law, as to greatly benefit tho whole State —at least the working portion of our peo ple. For this purpose, I propose to sug gest a few alterations and amendments to the constitution. In the first place, the homestead should be made secure. It matters very little about tho amount, but it should be guarded 10 well that judges, juries, nor legal gentlemen, could not over ride it Make it permanent, not to be alienated in anyway whatever- In the second place, the salaries of the executive, judicial and legislative officers, should bo regulated by constitutional provision. Tho Governor should he regulated by constitutional provision. The Governor’should be elected by the pooplo for a term of two years, at a salary net to exceed three thousand dollars per with one secretary of his choice, m salary off 150 U. The State house hrs should be elected as they now are. of t wu years, at a salary cm It xwith one clerk, each of their ftxut a salaay of $StKt. The Superior court should be Bv now are, for the term a salaty ol #2lkiu. talented men say, that no county would be satisfied without one representative. This is a great mistake. The same was suid lie fore the change was made, to re duce the number of ormtors. Since the reduction of senuto* thera has been no compla'iit; all art* | eased with the re duction. Then let our representatives be elected from Poriil districts, ap portioned according to number of inhabi tants, and on will sc 1 1,• > people all well sati lied with the reduction. The, general assembly should meet b'armtially instead ol annually, and sit sixty days, once in two years and no longer, at $4 tier diem, and K cents miie nge to and from the seat of g- 'eminent with a limited number of elo;-k and they paid a sum adequate only for the services rendered. The justices of the peace should he elected by the people of their militia dis tricts, for tho term of two years, with the privilege of selecting five jurors to be drawn as other jurors, to tiy all appeal cases that may arise in justices courts, and also all little petit larceny eases, and assault and battery cases, arid if found guilty to be sentenced by the presiding justice to fine, or imprisonment in the common jail or in the chain gang, diacie tionary with the presiding justice. The legislature should forever he pro hibited from passing any enactment uu thorizing the governor to endorse State bonds for railroad companies, or any other incorporation whatever. While I favor the call for a convention and believe a great deal of g od might bo done for the people, yet 1 fear it will not he a success. Because, first, the convention, when organized, is an omnip oter.t body so far as organic law is con cerned, and may or may not submit their acts to the people, and his course was pur sued by the convention of 1860. That experiment should satisfy the approach ing convention, and all others I hope for all tin.P to come of the impropriety, of not submitting their acts and doings to the people. In the second place, the members to the convention will ire elected by the same electors that have elected elected the legislatures for tho last ten years, and jf any proposition has ever been made by any legislature to benefit tho laboring classes, it has escaped my observation. But on tho other hand, every enactment that could be devi-ed, has been passed to cripple, paralyze and dcstioy the laborer of the poorer classes of our people. For instance, the indorse ment of railroad bonds was the most gigantic fraud ever pei | etrated upon the laboring classes. The passage of an act allowing the governor :o issue, and throw upon the market millions of Georgia bonds at ft per cent interest. payable semi annually, not taxable. These bonds all have fallen in the hands of capitalists, as well as railroad b nils, and no tax paid on them by the holder The law authi riziug a conventional interest by the parties, or in other words, this ruinous usurious in terest bill will ruin any pc lple. Again, the authority given capitalists to invest their capital in manufacturing enterprises for ten years after the enter prise is completed, is unjust and iniqui tous. See how it will work, Any com pany can organize with a large or small capital; commence work, get their manu facturing interest nearly completed, and will work for five years then complete or finish tho work, then run on without tax ation for ton years longer. But if I sell my neighbor land, horse, or any property whatever, and get the money or liis note, I have to pay tax on the money or note, and the purchaser has to pay tax on the property purchased from me—we are double taxed, while the bondholder, the manufacturer pay no tax at all. In my judgment, if oar members to the convention do not take a different view, and pursue different policy to what our legislatures have taken, we are a ruined people. The laboring class of met., in Georgia, are now paying tax to pay the interest on untold millions of bonds issued and sold to capitalist* that cannot benefit them one cent. How can the laboring man support his family under this bur densome taxation, getting higher uml higher? Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, l hare laid down the line of policy pursued by the people of Georgia in relation to sala ries from 1820 to 1860, forty years of tho most prosperous and happy period of the world that man ever lived in. Why not our people now fall back upon the old land mark? 1 have also pointed out some of the wild and reckless arts of our legislatures, which are now causing our trouble in burdensome taxation, and will for all time to come, unles repudiation cures the evil.

To the Editor oj i he G' irette. “King Alcohol seems to have around the indignation of more than one member of the Gwaltney lodge of Good feiiiplurs, out, to my thinking, they have not an swereij a single position that he has taken with this exception that time arc mem bers of Gwaltney lodge residing without tho town of riuiumerville. What “King Alcohol” has said of Gwaltney and Cold water lodges, may be said ol eyery lodge that has had an existence within the knowledge of the undersigned. lire lodges at Dirttown and Subligua, are in the same predicament, and though what “A Member" hassaid of (Joldwater Edge, viz; that “she still retains her fair and brave material, who are true to their God, and to the cause to which they have p.edged a life-long fidelity, ’ may be said ol tl.• lodges of Dirttown and Subligna: yet it does not, in the least, go to .-how that the Good Templars of t i-day, are the zealou-, ready ban icd Templars of a few years ago. Although not a Templar myself, I have never used intoxicating drinks in my life, and 1 wish the Templars God speed in their sacred cause, hut uu less they arouse themselves from their lethargy, their organization will soon be a thing ol the past. Let those whoure most ready tocoudeura “King Alcohol” for stating what sectns to be patent facts, show what the Tem plars of Chattooga are accomplishing, and that will be much m >re satisfactory than denouncing communications on the sub ject, and chiding the editor for publishing them. If the Good Templars are simply keeping themselves unspotted fruui the world, and drawing tlieir own mantles proudly about them, saying that “I am - j member of the 1 O. G. TANARUS., they are no better than if they did not belong to the order. If l understand (lie object of ibis or ganization, u is to array as large an army as possible against the demon Alcohol; to snatch the cup of death troiu the drunk ard's lips; and bis soul hum tho pit it possible; to restore the husband to hi wile, and the fat her to his children, il u be within human | twor; ami in oider to accomplish llu.-. th- lemptars must Luci*ie oil their armor ami voter da field as they did a taw years age. I'h.u tin Templars have accomplished much, I do not deny; but il going out upon the streets and hr hways to arrest the drunk ard, and ptoclaiming tlieir miisiou upon the house-tops, be die duty of Templars, it cannot be denied that the order has re ceived a paralytic stroke that must seal its doom ere long, unless the electric fires of zeal infuse into its life channels once more the elements of anew life.
