Governor to preside over the con

. Another fact of importance in this
eo'inection : we hold that, under our
State -Ci-nstitn-ioji, Governor Colquitt
is ineligible for ce election to tlie po
sition of Governor. The Constitution
says, in Article. V., : Suction 1, and
Paraoi Sjili 11:
‘•The Executive power ' shall lie
vested in a Governor, who shall hold
hi* c.tlice dnrinir the terra ofltwo years,
and until-his sueecs-or shall lie chosen
and qualified. He shall not he eligi
ble to re-election, alter tlie expiration
of a second term, for the period of
four years. He shall have a salary of
83,000 dollars per annum, (until other,
wise piovided by a 'aw passed l,y a
two-il-irds vote of both branches of
the General Assemble) which shall
not be increased or diiiituislied during
the perii'd for which he shall have
been elected ; nor shall he teceh-ve,
will in that tint--, uuj «>th« r eniolii*
inent from tliu Uuite-l Slates, or ei
ther of them, or from any foreign
(lower. But this reduction of aalnry
sliall not apply to the present t -rm ot
the present Governor.
“Par. III. The first election for Gov
enter, under tltis Constitution, shall
be held on the first Wednesday in
October, 1880.” * * *
Now, we submit that Governor
Colquitt, having held tlie office for four
years, is just as amenable to this pro
vision ot tlie organic law as any other
mao in the Si ate. The latter portion
of Paragraph Il.'.'distinctly *a\a, “that
the r< due-lion of salaty shall not ap
ply to the present t»rm of the preaent
Governor.” If he was exempt, by
reason of Ids incumbency of the office
at the time the Ctohstitniion was made,
front the provisions ot tlie Constitution
shortening the term of the office, it
would haye as distinctly said so, as i:
did iu regard to his salary. Again,
Paragraph lit. says “tlie first election
for Governor, .under this Constitu
tion, shall Ite held on the first
Wednesday ip October, 1880.” Can
Governor Colquitt |ioswbIy be re-
elected. Wider jlhia Constitution 1 His
re-election, in the face of such plain
provisions of our new Constitution,
wonld unquestionably bean open vio
lation of the spirit, yea, indeed, the
plain letter of tiie organic law of our
State. Hence we hold that Governor
Colquitt is ineligible for re-election,
and could not be nominated and re
elected Governor of Georgia, without
esVatilishitio the. dangerous precedent
of Utterly disregarding aud overrid
ing the eonstitiitionallaw of the State,
and that loo in the very, first election
for Governor under our new Concti-

denly taken sick. He complained nf
a pain in his stomach and nituaea, and
threw up some thick maous fluid.
Much alarm was felt at first for fear
tlie sickne-s would prove too much
for the doctor in hi* feeblp condition.
An alooholio vapor bath was- ordered
by the physicians to quicken circula
tion and secure, if possible, free per*
*piration. After taking theilmth, the
doctor spoke of feeding Iwtter, and
after's few minutes lay down and fell
asleep. At midnight ho was face more
n-Htimr quietly, being very o)o*ely
watched. At lialf (out ottb o’clock
