New Constitution Free.
We will furnish our Georgia subgeri
liers next week with a correct copy of
the New Constitution. This will en
able our subscribers to read the Consti
tution carefully for themselves, and vote
intelligently. It will be considerable
expense to us; but then, you know, we
are running a mail every week at our
own expense. We arc no old fogies,
and will keep our rentiers posted in all
matters affecting their interests, whether
we make or lose money by the operation.
For Senator.
It will lie observed that F. B.
Hodges, Esq., of our town, has been
announced in this paper as candidate
for the responsible position of Senator of
the 31st District, and it is hardly neces
sary for us to say that he is in every
way worthy and well qualified to fill this
position with honor and credit to himself
and to the satisfaction of our people.
We do not think that he will have any
-opposition, and have no doubt of his
election.
Brigham Young Dead.
This remarkable man died on the
29th of August, aged 76. For thirty
three years he has been the head of
Mormonism. During all this time he
has proven himself a man of great re
sources intellectually and physically, as
is evidenced by his masterly control of
his followers, as well as his wives. He
leaves a large community of widows
and orphans to mourn his loss. Our
sympathies are with the bereaved. It
is said that John W. Young the young
est son of wife No. 1, will succeed him
as President of the Mormon Church.
Eighth Congressional District
If, in the course of human events, it
should become necessary to elect a mem
ber to Congress from this District, we
hope Hon. William Gibson, of Au
gusta will be the man; having good,
hard common sense, with all the ability
and qualifications for making “ A No.
1 ” Congressman. This District needs
a live, energetic, bold, working man,
who will attend to auy of the numerous
little wants of constituents, which we
know Gibson would take pleasure in at
tending to for the rich or the poor. We
have no doubt that one week spent in
Hart by him would secure every vote
in it.
War News.
From the latest dispatches we gather
that a battle of seven days duration has
has been waged in the Schipka Pass of
the Balkan Mountains, and that the
fighting on both sides has been heroic
and losses enormous. The Turks have
gained a decided advantage, having
captured nearly all the Russian posi
tions. Two prominent Russian generals
were slain. It is said that the Turks
are receiving strong reinforcements, and
are preparing to take the offensive at
Plevna. The hero of the recent Turk
ish victory at that place, Osman Pasha,
is said to be Marshal Bazaine, the
notorious French General who w as court
martialed and imprisoned for surrender
ing the fortress of Metz during the
Frauco-Prussian war, and who through
his heroic wife, took French leave of
his prison. Suleiman Pasha tele
graphs, August 28th: Our entrenched
line of investment is only 150 paces
from the enemy’s fortifications. We
still hold the commanding AlikridJebel
Heights. The Russians are blockaded
on three sides. Every effort is being
made to complete the blockade by cut
ting them off from the road to Gabrova.
The Russian forces have been cruelly
decimated, and have retired to their
fortified positions. Cannonading and
outpost engagements are carried on in
termittently.
Trip to the Falls.
Last Monday, a small party of us left
for Toccoa, wishing to leave off fora while
the dull monotony of home life to breatho
the pure mountain air and drink of its min
eral waters. The sky being softened with
its calm white clouds, made the day lovely,
and the merry voices of my little friends
all lessened the fatigue of a seven hour’s
jolt. We were met with open arms at that
thriving little town of Toceoa and spent the
evening pleasantly. Next day we visited
New Holland's Springs, two miles north of
Gainesville, the heighlh of this place, com
bined with its tine water, makes it a very
popular resort. We returned by Athens,
it being nearest ami best way. Heard
many compliment* paid The Sun. Our
good friend Major lturkc said it was the
best County paper he knew of, and read it
first of all his papers. Next we visited
Toccoa and Tahlulah falls. I will not at
tempt to describe these places, the scenes
of each are full of things to interest the
imagination or move the heart, we being
young, and part of us beautiful, will glow
ing hearts still alive to the scenes of nature,
were almost lost amid its beauty and gran
deur.
The country from Toccoa to Tahlulah is
grand. There are valleys with beautiful
fields of corn, with swelling elevations ofj
higher laud all around, while higher still
you can see parts of the Blue Ridge which
crowns the scene with grandeur. We met
our friend Erskine Heard and lady, who
joined our party and added much to our
enjoyment. VV e constantly saw Snow on
our trip, but it had the effect of cold wine
or a woman’s no, it cooled but to inflame
the more. One of our party loft us for
Vanderbilt University. He is a noble boy
and goes to make himself worthy of his
birth-place. Would have lost others but
stole home with them.
It is said man’s life is a tragedy: his
first voice the cry of pain, his last the groan
of death, and the interval a brief space of
smiles and tears. Surely this trip was our
part of our lives where smiles came in. Me.
Reaaon* Why the New Constitution
Ought to be Katlltetl.
Ist. Because it was made by the good,
true and intelligent sons of Georgia, and
not by foreign adventurers.
2d. It declares the great truth of Geor
gia’s State sovereignty, and indulges in no
sycophantic twaddle about being a part of
the “ Nation.”
3d. It makes lobbying—one of the most
heinous evils of the day—a crime.
4th. It makes Legislative sessions bien
nial, and reduces their pay to $4 per diem.
sth. It provides that when the Legisla
ture repeals a section of the Code, the law
repealed shall be given in the repealing act.
6th. Life insurance and fire insurance
companies must deposit collaterals in this
State for the protection of those who in
sure.
7th. It makes it the duty of the Legisla
ture to regulate railroad freights and pre
vent unjust discriminations.
6iV\. It puts corporations on the same
footing with the people, by providing that
their property and franchise may be taken
for public uses.
9th. It requires corporations already in
existence to hold their charters subject to
the Constitution whenever they get amend
ments to them from the Legislature.
10th. Governor’s and other officers’ sal
aries reduced and public “ pap ” otherwise
curtailed.
11th. It gives the Legislature power to
provide for appeals in the Superior Courts,
and for juries in the Justices’ Courts.
12th. It provides for the election of
Judges of the Superior Courts and Solici
tor-Generals by the General Assembly.
13th. It provides a sinking fund for the
gradual payment of the public debt.
14th. It prohibits the lending the State’s
credit to corporations and “ wild cat ” rail
road speculations.
loth. It establishes a system of reform
that will annually save our State at the
least calculation two hundred thousand
dollars per annum. Reform.
The New Constitution.
The newspapers are full of praises and
peans of glory over the new Constitution.
We have read the thing over once and can
not see as yet that it is making any very
important changes, and we would admon
ish your readers that there is some time
yet until the day of ratification, and that
it would be best for them to read it care
fully for themselves, and if the the changes
proposed are good and cannot be made by
the Legislature, w'hy then vote for the new
Constitution. But there is no use in going
wild over something we know nothing
about.
We are inclined to think that the new
Constitution has several experiments in it,
and we believe experiments are always
dangerous.
The County will soon be full of candi
dates, who of course will advocate the new
concern—because their object will be to be
elected. They have a risk to run, which
is, if the new Constitution is not ratified,
then they are not elected, and all their
wind and labor will have been spent in
vain. S.
’Tend to Your BuNiiiewn.
Messrs. Editors : In your issue of the
29th ult., 1 see some long-headed sharper
states that l had built anew smoke-house
and would throw the key away, and thus
keep meat enough to do me. This is all a
mistake. I have built no smoke-house,
and have not had my smoke-house locked
in fifteen years, and have meat plenty for
my family and friends. I see a candidate
for matrimony among the same items, and
if all the girls are of my opinion, he will
remain a candidate a long time.
