The Senate occupied Thnraday and
Friday last in discoaring aWH pro-ri
ding for anew Coart for each Senato
rial District The Judge and Solicitor
to be appointed, the same as the Cir
cuit Judges, and Solicitors are now se
lected. In districts of under ten thou
sand population, the Judges salary to
be SSOO 00; the Solicitors, $250 00;
between ten and twenty thousand, the
salary of Judge, $750 00; Solicitor,
$375 00; and bo dfi up to a population
of 40,000, when the Judge shall have
$2,00(7 QO, and Solictor General, 1,000-
00, This Cotart to hare general civil
jurisdiction and ariminal jurisdiction
in all cdses not amounting to felony.
The Clerics of Superior Courts shall
act as Clerics of the new Court The
expense of the salaries are to be
paid by special tax in each distrct—
Much opposition was manifested, and
several Senators moved amendments
to have their Districts exempted. The
bill was finally set down for next Fri
day.
The House spent the same days dis
cussing the Bill to change the Charter
of Savannah, to give colored voters
better chance at the polls. The con
sideration of this bUI caused great dis
order, and almost amounted to a little
revolution. At one time the negro mem
bers, and other friends of the measure,
stampeded the house and left it with
out a quorum. It was finaUy indefi
nitely postponed, to the great disgust
of Bryant and his white and colored I
allies.
Saturday—The Senate spont the day
in legislating against railroad trains
rnnning on the Sabbath day, and suc
ceeded in passing a biU, prohibiting
trains from between the hours 6 a. m.,
and 6p. xn. This is the most foolish
piece of legislation that ever passed
this senseless body. A few hypocriti
cal parsons and demagogues are trying
to cover their short-comings and vil
lages by a pretense at piety. Do they
expect to fool the Almighty by allow
ing the cars to run in the dark ? Away
with such tomfoolery.
The House did nothing; but they
did more than the Senate.
The Devil to Pay.
We publish elsewhere a remarkable
letter from Linton Stephens, Chair
man of the State Executive Democrat
ic Committee. Mr. Stephens accept*
the Chairmanship, but repudiates the
action of the four committee-men that
elected him. We are now having erect
ed a bronze monument to commemo
rate the memory ol these four dun cep.
We are ashamed of Lint Stephens’
letter. Unde Cabiniss was bad enough,
so far as old fogyism is concerned, but
compared with Stephens, he is a mere
lad 1 In fact, if Georgia was raked
and scraped with a fino tooth comb,
we don’t believe a bigger fool, politi
cally, could be found than this same
Lint Stephens 1
The concluding paragraph of Mr.
Stephens’ letter, is an open, flagrant
insult to men who fought for Southern
freedom, while Lint Stephens tread
on velvet carpets in Richmond ! He
is a nice man to talk of courage 1 A
man who never raised his arm in de
fense of his country in her hour of
peril, now prates glibly about courage!
It is to be hoped that Aleck Stephens
will come out soon in a card, denying
that Lint, is oven his half brother 1—
As for the Executive Committee of the
Democratic Party of Georgia, we don’t
consider them now of any political ac
count whatever 1 They recommend
one coarse and their presiding officer
another 1 Which shall we respect and
obey ?
The truth is, each Beetion of the
State, and eaeh particular locality, will
have to be governed by the surround
ing circumstances. For instance, the
Fifth District has only one man com
petent to fill the office of Congress
man; and that man is Lint Stephens;
consequently the people should send
him! True, he never can get in, but
what does that matter ? His brother
Aleck has been U. S. Senator for about
four years; an outaide member, how
ever. How if Lint could be sent to
the other branch of Congress, it would
be so nice for the Stephens brothers !

A Tocchmo Bc*** I— Coming down
from Atlanta one Ate morning last
week, we encountered Pwt Williams,
of the Georgia Blind Aayhrm, return
ing to MiQedgeville with a dosenor
more of his blind pupils. They ware
an interesting and intelligent little par
ty. At Jonesboro’ a blind lad named
Borlra, about twelve yean old, joined
the party. He was accompanied to the
train by his mother, a Confederate sol
dier’s widow, whose plain bonnet and
sun-burnt features showed plainly that
she was a daughter of toil, and ac
quainted with the hardships of pover
ty; but her whole soul seemed wrop
ed up in the little blind orpiian ! We
have never seen a more affecting part
ing. Great tears stole down the cheeks
of this poor mother, yet not a sob or
murmur escaped her lips ! She evi
dently didn’t want the little boy to
know her heart-strings were swollen
almost to bursting! But the little
boy’s sensitive finger rambled over the
care-wOrn features of the mother, os
if determined to see her through the
nflnttfttinn of touch, though sight was
denied him; and when he encounter
ed the evidence of weeping, it seemed
as though his little manly heart would
buret 1 But the loaomotive waits not
for sentiment, and the little blind boy
was torn from the bosom of his moth
er, and joined his comrades in the car.
They expected him; they appreciated
his grief at parting from his mother,
for they hod gone through similar part
ing soenes a few hours before. Young
Burks was doubtless a favorite with
the pupils of the Asylum last year; at
all events, almost with one acoordthey
hailed him with rapturous greetings;
caught his hands and squeezed them;
congratulated him on his improved ap
pearance; called him “Mister Burks”
—and soon made him at least partial
ly forgetful of his grief. It will be nut
ny a day before we shall forget the
scene!
Unanimous I —The sentiments of the
Democratic and conservative people of
the State, and most of tho reliable pa
pers, are urging that Lint Stephens
shall immediately withdraw from the
Chairmanship of the Democratic State
Executive Committee, as he does not
represent the views of the party, and
was not elected by a quorum of the
Committee!
Here’s Richness !—Last week we
saw Senator Tom Speer calling Sena
tor Brock to order on his pronuncia
tion and grammar—one the clown of
the Senate, and the other the—mule’s
father 1 We don’t suppose either one
over wont to school three months in
his life ! Their being in the Senate
has deprived two public institutions of
tho State of one boarder each 1
19* The Constitutionalist is the on
ly real Democratic paper, of all our
exchanges, that we have yet seen, who
approve of Linton Stephens’letter. As
this paper nominated him for Chair
man,we suppose it feels bound to sus
tain him.

for lour years, and I have two years of
ft
may be permitted, as a voter, to ex
press myself upon the question of who
ahould be nominated. The nomina
tion is so replete with interest to the
people of theDistriet that no Georgian
should suffer personal presences to con
trol him in the selection of a candidate
either for Congress or the State Legis
lature. I have, as other men, my pref
erence, but do not propose, at this
time to suggest his nomination, or to
mention hu name. Either of the gen
tleman you have named would suit me,
and wonld fill the position with credit
to themselves and honor to the State;
two of whom In days gone by, I had
the pleasure voting for, mid felt proud
of their election. J
But it is not now a question of whom
wo perfer, but a question of who we
can support, that can and will take hip
Beat if elected. I commend your views,
so well expressed, in regard to caution,
prudence, eto. « m '
The. Democratic members of Con
gress have published an “Address” to
the people of the Sonth, in which they
impress upon them, that, “in no event,
to nominate candidate who cannot take
the test oath, or whose disabilities
have not been removed.” To elect a
man who cannot take his seat, is virtu
ally to elect a Radical. It k now an
established rule of the majority of the
present Congress not to seat any one
who is ineligible under the Reconstruc
tion Acts, and who cannot take the
test oath; and in all such cases, if the
next highest is a Radical, they seat
him. We should, therefore, be pru
dent and catltious. I have heard that
the wise suggestions made by the Dem
ocratic members of Congress would
not be regarded. I cannot believe that
this is true of the controlling influ
ence in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict Suoh action is what the Radi
cals most desire.
There are a few men in the Fourth
Congressional District, good and true
Democrats, with sufficient ability, who
are not ineligible, who would repre
sent us for the present until a general
amnesty wilU relieve those laboring
under disabilities whom we now wish
to represent ns in the national coun
cil.
My object in writing this article is
to have your assistance in urging upon
the delegates to the convention to for
get personal preferences anil select
those candidates who can take their
seats if elected. You say, “We trust
the same care will be exeroisod in the
future, that was exercised in the At
lanta Convention.” I hekrtily endorse
the suggestion. I know that the quiet
action of that Convention inflicted a
greater wound to the Radical canse
than all tho speeches that could have
been made. No' Democrat who was
present at the National Hotel on the
evening after the adjournment of the
Convention can forget the effort that
was mode by the Radicals to have some
ill-timed, Knklux speeches. Some of
their leading men were seen passing
through the assembled crowd suggest
ing the names of those Democrats they
wished called out to speak; and when
they had signally failed in their pur
pose, bv reason of tho speakers who
responded to the call not indulging in
that strain that they so much desired,
but discussing other subjects than that
of politics, the Radicals dispersed in
perfect discomfiture, and their long
faces have not yet attained their prop
er form and features.
In all our Conventions for nomina
tions, either in the Districts or coun
ties, let ns abstain from resolutions and
speeches that will tend toward excite
ment or stir up the passions and pre
judices of any citizen, and in all cases
treat the colored man with kindness
and consideration. Their interest is
identified with the Sonthem white man,
and the last few years have convinced
them of the fact. Many of them will
unite with us in preserving the liber
ties of the people and their rights to
choose their rulers. There are butfew
of them, ontside of the Legislature,
who were in favor of depriving the
people of their right to an election this
fall. The attempt of the Radicals to
prolong their term of office in the Leg
islature, has shown what may be ex
pected if “Carpet-Baggers” and “Scal
awags” are to control the country.—
Let our motto be, the Constitution;
The right of the people to choose their
rulers; Wisdom, Justice, Moderation.

Judge Linton Stephens Accepts the
Chairmanship of the Democratic
Executive Committee.
Sparta, Ga., September 6,1870.
Colonel 11. A. Alston, Secretary of the
Democratic Executive Committee of Geor
gia— Dear Sir: Your letter was duly
received informing me that I was cho
sen chairman of tne Democratic Exec
utive Committee of this State at a
meeting held .at Atlanta on the Ist in
stant, in pursuance of a call from the
President of the Democratic Conven
tion to assemble at tbo time and place
and complete their organization by
electing a chairman ontside of their
own number.
While sending to the committee,
through yotl, my acceptance of tho po
sition assigned, and ray sincere ac
knowledgement of the honor conferred,
I take this occasion to express my own
views on a subject, which tbe commit
tee have brought before tho public, by
taking action on it before their selec
ted chairman hod accepted hie appoint
ment, and before, therefore, they bad
a complete organisation, or ovon the
number required by the resolution of
the the convention providing for the
formation of an Executive Committee,
The subject to whieh I allude Is the
ecWUon of candidates in the approach
ing election with a reference to their !
el uil'illty tinder existing eo-ealled laws,
Niid (he oertainty of their being allow*
§a|s as can take the iron-dad or test
The difficulty of making areoom
uniform rule applicable alike tofileo
tions for Congress and elections for the
State Legislature, was foreseen bf the
-recent Democratic Convention, and in
duced the Business Committee of that
body, and that body itself, to forego
the attempt I must also remark that
the gentlemen who have put forth the
recommendation in question have fal
len into a mistake as to there haning
been any recommendation on this sub
ject from the Democratic Executive
Committee of the United States. On
the contrary, the whole subject of eli
gibility of candidates, as affected by so
called disabilities, bas been left by the
National Democratic organization, and
by the Democratic State Convention,
without any recommention at all, low
ing the members of the party every
where perfectly free to shape their own
convictions of principle and policy in
the different localities. But since the
subject has been brought before the
public in a quasi official form by mem
bers of the Committee with which l am
officially connected, I deem it due to
myself to make known my own distinct
and strong convictions as to the course
required by sound policy and sanction
ed by sound principles.
As to members of the Legislature, I
think the people Bliould select only
those who are free from all the so-call
ed disabilities, and this this simply as
a matter of policy. The Legislature
will be subject to the manipulation of
the dominant party at Washington,
and that party will certainly exclude
•from it all persons who may be subject
to any of the disabilities which tney
have prescribed for and attempted to
fix upon that elass Os officers. For the
Legislature we have abundant sound
material, which is free from all disa
bilities preesribed for that class; and
by electing a Legislature from this ma
terial, we shall either got a sound ad
ministration of State affairs or else
drive the enemies of constitutional lib
erty into the perpetration of somehow
outrage, and thus pile up and acceler
ate the retribution which awaits them
at the hands of an indignant people.
It must be borne in mind that the iron
clad or test oath has not yet been re
quired for members of the Legislature.
Members of Congress stand on a dif
ferent footing, and withregard to them
I believe a different polwWia demanded.
In their case the iron-clad or test oath
is required. Let not our people per
suade themselves that the party now
dominat iu Congress will dispense with
that oath individual cases or by gener
al repeal, except for a consideration—
a price paid or to be paid. That price
wul be nothing leas than the accep
tance of all their usurpations as “fixed
facts,” without even a pledge against
unlimited usurpations in the future. I
firmly believe it would be fur better
that our people should remain forever
unrepresented, than that they should be
misrepresented by men who can either
the oath or get a dispensation from it
It is idle and foolish to expect the Rad
ical party, in the present condition of
affairs, to admit into Congress any real
representatives of our people. They
will accept only those who would de
stroy our moral power by misrepresent
ing and debasing us. Let us, there
fore, dismiss all idea of getting real
reprerentatiyes into a Congress whore
there is a Radical majority; and let tas
not forget that a true Democratic Con
gress will admit any members who may
have the qualifications required by the
true constitution, stripped of the de
structive usurpations which are attemp
ted to be foisted upon it by no higher
authority than Congressional enact
ments and Presidential proclamations.
There are, and can be, no disquali
fications or disabilities of members
of Congress, but such as arc prescribed
by the constitution itself, and by th§
constitution, I mean that sacred instru
ment in its purity as contra-distinguish
ed from the so-called 14th and 15th
amendments. This doctrine was sol
emnly and repeatedly adjudicated by
Congress itself in its better days. It
has never been violated bat by Radi
cal revolutionary violence. And never
let it be foigotton that this violation
now perpetrated in the name, and un
der color, of the 14th and 15th amend
ments, was equally perpetrated by the
same revolutionary party before tbe
passage of either one of those so-call
ed amendments. I remark just here,
in passing, that the 13th amendment,
abolishing slavery, stands upon an en
tirely different footing, and, in my judg
ment, constitutes a valid part of the
constitution.
This doctrine—that the only possi
ble disqualifications or disabilities for
members of Congress are those to be
found in the constitution itself—always
observed in the better days of the gov
ernment, and violated only by revolu
tionary radicalism, will certainly be re
spected and enforced by every true
Democratic Congress in the future.
I think, therefore, that we should se
lect members of Congress without the
slightest regard to so-eaDed disabili
ties, except that we should not fail to
send, at least, some who are subject to
them, and who have ability to show
their invalidity and enormity. They
must havo have a hearing on the ques
tion of their right to seats, and that
question well argued on the theatre of
Congress wonld shake this county from
centre to circumference. Our strength
lies in attack—in attacking the usur
pations and enormities of the party
who are seeking to overthrow our
whole system of government, by fin!
crushing out the States which aland as
the obstacle iu the way of their scheme
of centralization and ooneequsnt nnob
atuatod public plunder. Our strength
is in the truth, and their weakawa is
in their guilt. Our policy is not to
