RKnOVAI. OK COVKHSOIl JESHK1N
AMD TRISASURKIl JONES*
The :.ir lias bten thick with rumort for
Several days that our worthy Executive ami
tl>e State Treasurer were to be removed. Wc
were, therefore, prepared for the Dews that
reached us on Nondf.y, tha! an crdoi from
Ckneral Meado had been issued removlD
them from office. Wo regret exceedingly
that General Meade has seen proper t» call
upon these otliccrs to appropriate fundi from
the Treasury of Georgia, to thepaymentof the
expenses of the Convention. Holding that,
S3 sworn officials of Georgia, they have no
right to make auy such disposition of the
public money, and that, even under the Re
construction Acts, tlie General Commanding
has no right to call for any such action on
tlieirpartjtheso faithful guardians of our State
interests could not do " otherwise than de
cline.
General Meade, we apprehend, will £.ud it
difficult to show any reason why this money
should be paid. Even those charged with
the Reconstruction scheme front its begin
ning to the present time never held to any
such* doctrine. In this matter, therefore, wo
think General Meade made a great mistake.
Perhaps though, as some surmise, them may
be a motive better than wc can imagiae for
bis action.
We anxiously await further developments.
As to ti a course of our Governor wc have
but one opinion. He has always faithfully
discharged his duly to Georgia, and wo are
confident ho will continue to do so, and by
such leg ; tops as are necessary, proceed to
make a«:<w, which will bring the question of
the const. Mtionality of these laws before the
Judiciur) ot tnc country, in snch a manner,
as will socure a decision one way or another.
If there is a fair hearing and an honest de da-
ion wc do not fear the result.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
The Rumor of Gov. Jenkins’ Removal
Acochta, January 12.—The report of Governor
Jenkins’removal cnuscsintense excitement. Private
accounts from Atlanta nre conflicting. One report
statins that General Meade's order matins his re
noval will be published to-morrow: while another
•tries that there are many who believe tho rumor of
Governor Jenkins’ removal premature.
From Atlanta.
Atlanta. January 12.—The rumor as to the removal
of Governor Jenkins snins renewed credence to-day,
Lost night nn Aid left Headquarters here for Mil
ledseville. It is stated by Governor Jenkins’friends
that he will test the legality of removal by a quo war
ranto.
The Convention enters on the formation of the now
Constitution to-morrow.
Fearful Mortality on Shipboard.
New York, January 12.—Tho ship Zibntcz, from
Hamburg, after a pa.- age of sixty days, arrired at
quarantine, had one hundred and five deaths from
cholera, seventy adults and thirty-fivo children, and
has on board thirty-five eases. The ship is ordered to
quarantine and the sick will ho transferred to the
hospital ship. No new eases occurred during the last
icn days.
tTire Bknior Editor Arsknt.—By tho let
ter, which wc publish this morning, it will
bo seen that the Senior Editor of this journal
Is in "Washington city, where he has gone to
attain a more perfect insight into the politi
Cal parties and measures of the day. The
trip lias been in contemplation for some time,
but it was only lately that he could con
veniently leave home.
Our readers may expect some interesting
letters from him; and a better acquaintance
with political projects and schemes of the
politicians, will enable him hereafter to give,
wc hope, such counsel as tho- South may
honorably follow. Ilis opportunities for
gaining information are excellent, and be has
already been in contact with some of the
ruling minds of the land. Speaking of Wil
son’s bill giving new powers to the Conven
tion, he writes in a private letter:
“Blodgett is here representing the Conven
tion and uiging the necessity of the bill, and
4o tell the truth the Radical members seem to
look upon us opponents of reconstruction, or
rebels, at the South as having no rights and
entitled to hut little consideration in any re
sppet except to annoy and oppress us. Still,
tlio Lest men among them are getting tired
of controversy nud afraid of populat com
plaints at tho North, and if they cat find
ample justification will refuse to take part in
.further hostile legislation against us.”
S3S r ‘Pr. Bard, of the New Era, is inf armed
that the Senior Editor of this paper i3i.bseat (
and has been for several days. Ho had better
reserve his wit at Mr. Sneed’s expense until
liis return. Otherwise, it is all lost.
Radical newspapers in this Stale have
not allowed a day to pass, since Gen. 31 cade’s
arrival at headquaaters, without endeavoring
to taunt the Conservative press with allnsions
to their rejoicing at Pope’s removal, the idea
being that in bis successor we arc not much
better off. We have only to say that so lar
as wc are concerned, it is agreeable lo us to
have a man who waa so illy spoken of by his
brother officers who knew him beet, more es
penally one who was charged with being a
liar and did not defend himself from the
charge, displaced, and ono put over us who
enjoys tbo reputation of being a gentleman
and brave soldier, and who at least will, if wc
aro to judge from the tone of his address to
tho Convention, give us a conservati ?c ad
ministration of an obnoxious law, 'tontine
himself to. what he conceives to be its re
quirements, and not go beyond it in oi dcr to
secure the success of party measures.

Richmond, January 13.—General Butler addressed
an immense crowd at the African Chureh to-night-—
He ndv'ooated equal political rights for the blacks:
cqnal honors in the Government, and equal burden in
supporting it. Tho land should bear its part ofthe
taxation, and the burden not be thrown on the Iatroi
ingman. He said the time for confiscation, whether
right or wrong, was gone, and he did not think bis au
dience now expected it. [Cries of no, we don’L] He
advised Southern men to divide their land, and it
mast come to that at last. The men Who worked land
would eventually be the owners. He did not believe any
war of races would occur. If it did, it wonld not
come from the blacks. He argued against the folly of
the Southern people remaining out of tbo Union
hoping for better terms. These they could not get,
for whatever other changes might take place the Sen
ate would not change for six years, and before two
years eould expire the admission .of the States to their
rights in the Union would bo accomplished on the
present terms. _

franchisements and as few test oaths with rcfcrenco
to disfranchisements as possible. He thought it
should apply to controlling officers of corporations,

remove these disabilities upon proof of loyalty. Tho
tax for education should bo laid on persons, and other
taxes should be borne by property and persons alike.
He urged the Convention to be diligent and get

Legislatnre might hereafter, as an incentive to educa
tion, confer it only upon those who could read and
write.
