There have been no jibs piassed (
that particularly portion !
of the State. CuWvV’Xi.’fiiVrpier in
troduced, in tile House, a bill to,
change the road law, which has pass
ed, and is now before the Senate. No .
doubt but that the bill will pass, and
we advise road commissioners and |
overseers to suspend working the
roads a few days, ns tlio bill will re
lievo them of at least one third tlio
work that is now required. The bill
provides that tlio roads arc to be j
twenty feet wide in-tend of thirty.
Wo would have placed before our
readers, the able speech made by Hon.
V. B. Wooten in the Senate oil the re
solution to postpono the election, if it
had been received in time. It is an
able argument against prolongation,
and is replete with sound, democratic !
doctrine. It will appear in our col
umns next week.
This being an odd numbered clis- j
trict, bis term of office expires thisj
full, and though Randolph or Clay
county may claim the right to send tin
next Senator, we doubt capitally the
propriety of changing Col. Wooten
for anp- man in 'ho district. We know
there are ablo men in both counties,
,ut it should be recollected that the j
pi re sent democratic members of the
lejnslature have had to contend with I
an element so powerful in numbers
that the eloquent apipeals, logical rea
sonings and strenuous efforts of Woot
en and others to vindicate tie law,
have not yet had the effect that would
have been produced on unprejudiced
minds. Send him back and our wee and
for it, no part of the district will have
cause to regret so doing.
A corrosptondent in the Cnthbert Ap
peal i-alls loudly for Col. Fielder, who
is a good man in every respect. We
have no objection to him nor to
Judge Clark, aud others that might be
named ; but will Randolp.h urge the
claim of those gentlemen or any one
of them, simply because Terrell has
had the -Senator for one term t Will
she opjpose the elec iou ot 001. Wooten,
when the Democratic piarty through
out the entire State demand Lis ser
vices ? Will she mge her claims at
ail hazards ? The wish and intention
of Col. Wooten is to decline a nomi
nation—this we know ; —but these
times demand that he should sacri
fice his pecuniary interests still far
ther, and regard the voice of the peo
ple-

In a paper on “The Civil and So
cial Chimes of Mongrelism. ’’ in “ Tbs
Old Guard for August, the writer does
not give a very flattering picture of j
the origin of the Kepublican organiza- 1
tion. He gays:
That party was born of confusion
and disintegration. It cornea up out
of an unnatural combination oJ the
worst elements of Puritanism with
the most grotesque and licentious
style of infidelity. Its foster-father,
therefore, had to be a trinity of hy
pocrisy, duplicity and falsehood. In
the whole history of this party, we
behold the spirit of the Puritan and
brigand united. In it prayer and
murder have gone hand-in-hand.—
But it all began in prayer—iu the
prayers of the New England Puritans
about negroes, aud “slavery,” and
“liberty,” of which they never'iiad the
slightest conception. The “liberty’
which the Puritan has always made
such a noise about, means only bis
own right to bend or bleak everybody
or everything to his own will, In
Europe, the Puritan was a /regicide
but only becauso the kings did not be
lieve with him, on points of laith. In
this country he began his career by j
drowning Baptists and burning Qua-!
kers, lor a simple non-con tenuity of!
faith with Iris own, and he has ended
with the murder of more than a mil- j
lion of men, because they did not en
tertaiu his views about niggers. But
to accomplish this object, he uuited i
with ail the social outcasts in the
country —w ith iaiidels socialists, free-!
lovers, spiritualists, and every type of j
intellectual, social aud moral rene- j
gades. Wnat a superstructure it is, j
this “Radicalism !” A grotesque con-1
glameratiou of every species of inti-!
delity and licentiousness, resting upon
a foundation of the most interne and
fiery kind of Puritanism the world
ever saw. Springing up out of the
Puritan pulpits and prayer-meetings
of New England, it shook hands with
such roaring atheists of the West as
Josh Giddings, old John Brown and
Jim Lane, 01 such scoihng “deists ’ as
Lincoln, Ben. Wade auU bulniun P.
Chase. Then it naturally attracted
to its bosom all the odds and ends of
all the isms which ever afflicted the
country with unrest and disorder—us
socialism, spiritualism, liee-loveism,
and every 601 1 ol diabolism which the
imagination of man can conceive. All
these lestlees -spirits, animated witn
the hot breath of Puritanism, came
together in one lcid, and gave bii ih
to the “Radical” pa.ty.

Aiuxta, Geuuoia, -Inly 21, 1870.
To the Jlonondle Member 4 of the G,n*-
oral Hu people of Geor
gia :
The Ftato having Won again ad
mitted by law to representation in
Congress, the responsibility lor tile fu
ture peace aud welfare of Georgia
rests upon the members of the Gene
ral Assembly uipl the oliicers and p»oo
ple of the Ftute.
There arc two questions of over
sliadouing inquutai.ee which wi-1 en
gage the attention ol the Legislature
and people—an election under the
Conrtituiion, and an organization ol
the militia.
The Constitution of tlie Ftato pro
vides lor an election on Tuesday alter
the first Monday iu November, 1870,
for members ol the General Assembly
and other State officers aud members
of Congress.
Au attempt is now being made iu
the Legislature to avoid tho election
aud continue the pirosout occupants in
power beyond their legal terms with
out an election in violation of the
Constitution.
Various pretences are stated for
such action, tho sum of which is, that
I some act of Congress, or of tin- Feder
al oi- Ftate Government or of all those
! combined, has made a violation of the
State Constitution aud a postponement
of the elections under it a necessity.
These pi utilises have no shadow of
truth to bUppiort them On the con
trary, Congress having boon informed,
by Governor liuliock in porsen, of tho
purposes of the would-bo usurpoi's,
added U the usual act of admission
for a -Southern Ftato the following pos
itive- declarations, recognizing tlio ab
solute supremacy of the constitution
ol Georgia relative to the -State eloc
tions and the tonus of office.
The act of July 15, 1870, after de
claring Georgia “entitled to represon- j
I tation in tho Congress of tho United
States,” continues—“but nothing in
this act contained shall bo construed
to deprive tho people of Georgia of the
right to au election ot members of tao
General Assembly of said -State, as
■ provided for in the Constitution there
of; and nothing iu this of any Other]
act of Congress shall bo construed to i
affect the term to which any officer'
lias been appointed or any member of |
the Gouerul Assembly elected as pre-1
scribed by tho Constitution of Gcor ■!
'ibis adds the sanction of Congress'
to tlie validity and supremacy ot the
Ftato Constitution, wipes out all ques
tions of admission of members to Con
gress. military government, previous
acts of < ’engross of the -State, and lias
tho bamo loroe and effect as though
Congress had repeated and enacted
the tanguago of the -State Constitution
on tho subject of election word for
: word,
j The Constitution of Georgia, then,
| Is tho supreme law, which is to rogu
] lain the times of election aud the terms
lof uflico. It is too plain to be argued
or to be misunderstood. Tne Gover
nor, tlie several members oi the Gen
j oral Assembly, and every officer in
| tho Flute, is sworn to support tho
Constitution on this subject ol election,
as on every other sub j ect of which it
treats.
Is there any one of them all who
will daro to stand up in the presence
of his constituents, aud violate that
oath ? Do the men who propose this
wic-ked sacrifice of their own honor,
and the trust which has been reposed
in them, intend to provoke a conflict
with the people which shall be mark
ed by strife, bitterness and blood ?
\\ hat public interest do these men
2>retend to serve ? >\ hat necessity
exists for their attempted usurpation ?
i Are they ready to destroy Republican
I government in Georgia ? Have they
no respect for the people who sent
them there ? Are they prepared tor
the storm oi indignation and me hisses
of scorn which t\ lii greet them as suc
cessful usurpers ?
it cannot be. There must be some
mistake. Men will not knowingly
and publicly brand themselves with
crimes so terrible, nor bring upon
themselves the swift retribution which
would inevitably follow.
There is another subject of scarcely
less importance to tho people. The
organization of tho militia in Georgia
would be a measure so clearly unnec
essary, or so disastrous to ail the in
terests of the (state that it would not
se<'m to require any a guaient.
The sheriff’s posse is sufficient to
enforce the law, aud keep the peace
among oui citizens ; and, should ex
traordinary eases occur requiring more
forco, Federal troops w ill be the saiest
and least expensive.
There is not a single good reason
for organizing the militia. On the
contrary, it would involve great ex
pense, loss of time, and demoralization
of labor. It would cause loss of troops
and millions ol dollars to the (Mate ;
and it would engender discord and.
conflict between tile tw'o races of our
l citizens.
If an organization of the militia is
| attempted it will be in the interest of
| tyrants aud usuipeos against the lights
I and interests of Uie people.
Every good man, woman and child
!in the btato will have reason to bless
: the men who will aid in saving them
j from tho threatened calamity.
j We Lave had enough of war and its
consequences, of usurpations, and its
! oils. Let tho men in Georgia sot ex
amples of disinterested patriotism.
i Let the Constitution be respected and
adhered to as the supreme law for the
protection ot the rights of all classes
of our people. Let truth, justice,
peace and good will prevail and Geor
gia shall boon be foremost among her
sisters in all tho elements that minis
i ter to the happiness of civilized life.
The wise moderation and dignity
with whith the citizens of Georgia
have borne the trials through which j
they have passed, and are passing, I
has disarmed our slandoteis, gratified 1
our friends, and extorted the udmiia-l
tion ol our enemies
Let us continue lo do our duty with
an untraveling fsi.h th it truth, ju»-
two «nd right will finally prevail,
crushing the oppressors, and estab
lishing tlio constitutional rights und
liberties of the people.
Very respectfully, your obedliut ror

Tin: Terrible Heat in New York
—More Deaths from Sunstroke.—
The New York Times of Wednesday
says :
The distressing heat continued yes
terday, and is having serious effect
on the lives of the citizens. Hereto
fore the deaths have been contiuen to
old men and young cliildred, but from
the returns of yesterday it will be per
ceived that young and middle-aged
men are tailing victims to tho sudden
mortality. The ambulance system
has doubtless saved many lives ; for
tlie victims of the heat are thereby
quickly supplied with medical assist
ance, and as promptly removed to the
hospital, where fully two-thiids recov- :
er from the effects of the prostration. !
The thermometer yesterday marked j
95 degrees in the shade, and in the 1
sun it was fully twenty degrees above
fever heat. But for the sanitary meas- j
ure adopted, there can be but little j
doubt the intense heat would have ere 1
this produced a serious epidemic. |
A long list of those stricken down is i
given, aud among them we note the 1
name of John (Sheffield, an athlete,
aged fifty-four. He was prostrated ns j
he was starting for Exhibition Hall, j
and survived only a few hours.
The reporter in the Senato for tho
Sun became so interested in the de
bate ou Campbell’s resolutions on
Thursday as to crodit the very able
I and sound argument made by senator
Wooten, in opposition to the prolon
gation measures, to Senator Hinton.
The Reporter can only correct his mis
take, and add that on Friday Senator :
liinton followed close on Senator
Wooten’s argument. The districts
represented by these two gentlemen
have a just right to be proud of their
representatives, for they have battled
ably and manfully for the rights of!
the people.— Atlanta Sim.
The Covington Slipper Club has

(Comb-cod from tlio Afl.intii Constitution.) J
Fbidav, .July 23, 1870.
.SENATE.
Mr. Smith (7th, offered the follow- \
ing resolutions as a substitute for
Campbell's prolongation resolutions,
and also substitutes :
Whereas, The constitutional term -
of tho several officers of the -State, in - j
eluding that of this General Assent- ,
bly, are Necessarily dependent upon '
tho tinio when under the several acts j
of Congress tho constitution goes into
operation as the paramount law, freed J
from military influence ; and
W 1 lc re as, Tlio act of Congress of'
July lfith, 1870, does not fix said time
and the same cannot now bo definite
ly settled until Congress shall decide
by the actual admission of our sena
tors and Representatives ; and
Whereas, It. is unwise further to
complicate affairs by the election of
new officers while the period when the
Government as such under the Con
stitution begins its existence is uncur
tain.
Therefore Resohcd, That the Gene
ral Assembly so shape legislation as
that no election shall bo held for the
vatious officers provided for by the
constitution, until Congress, by tho
admission of our Senators and Repre
sentatives, or in some other way, shall
definitely determine whether the Con
stitution of this State is held to go in
to operation as the paramount law in
1808 or 1870.
Mr. W ellborn took strong consti
tutional grounds against tho rebel
lious prolongation resolutions, aud
moved to postpono further considera
tion of them until the 16th of August.
Mr. .Morrell advocated the resolu
tions
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley opposed
the rebellious prolongation resolu
tions. It was revolution to go agaiust
the expressed will of the people and
] the acts ot Congress. Representations
I cannot be admitted into Congress un
! til they are elected ; and if the elec
j tion laws are not repealed, they can
not be elected. If the constitution of
Georgia is not the law of the land, tho
Legislature has no right to be in ses-
sion. Tho Governor and all other of
ficers derive their authority and power
from the constitution and nowhere
else. Gentlemen argue that tho
first Legislature had no existence.
They go back upon their own record
and Governor Bullock’s messages.
His constituents demanded an elec
tion, aud whatever might be his pri
vate feelings, he was bound to consult
their wishes, or, as an honorable man
and a gontlomau, resign at once. Ho
moved that the matter be referred to
the Supreme Court instauter.
Mr. Mathews said that he could not
vote for the resolutions because the
people who voted for him did so under
ihe belief that liis term expired in No
vember, 1870.
ifr Smith (7th) said that ten days
ago he would have voted for an elec
tion at this time. He wanted repor
ters to report him correctly as stating
the internal sentiments of his he;r.
Aaron Alpeoria asked him to inform
reporters how they would got at his
heart!
Mr. Smith (7th) said that he would
not stand in the way of bis district
being represented if they wanted an
election, but out of self-respect bo
] would resign. He knew no govern-
urent but tho United States, nor no
flag but the United States flag—a flag
that God unfurled and intended to
hold unfurled.
Mr. Hinton made a profound, legal
and logical argument, showing that
| the General Assembly had taken an
! oath to support the Constitution of
Georgia, and of tho United States,
and not to support the Reconstruction
i acts They hud simply taken an oath
that they were not obnoxious to the
provisions of the Reconstruction acts.
But admitting, for argument’s sake,
that we were in a provisional state,
the General Assembly cannot prevent
an election this fall.
The Constitution of Goongia is tho
supreme law, unless it comes in con
flict with the Constitution of tho Uni
| ted States Congress lias not prolrib
ited it—the constitution provides for
it. The act of Congress of July 15,
1870, repeals all other acts. It says
that nothing in this act or any other
act, shall be so construed as to pre
vent an election as prescribed by the
constitution of Georgia.’ Congress
and the constitution are in strict ac
cord and do not conflict. The terms
of the members of the General As
sembly began on tho 6th of Novem
ber, 1868, and expires on. the Btb day
of November, 1870. If General Ter
ry says that an election cannot be held
in accordance with instructions from
Washington, the people as good ioyal
citizens will obey.
Mr. Higbee advocated a modifica
tion of the resolution.
Mr. Hungerford called the previous
quest on.
A motion to put tho main question
was carried by ayes 15; nays 11
Motion to postpone until the 15th
of August was lost, ayes 15; nays 19.

Mr. Burns gave notice that he
would move a reconsideration.

The irrepressible Bradley again
endeavored to create commotion yes -
terday in the Senate, it was a res
olution of censure to Smut or Nunnnl
ly, for words spoken in tho Senate.
The President at once pronounced the
same out of order.
Tlio galleries ut an early hour were
crowded with au eager, anxious, and
listening crowd, exacting more than
an ordinuaJy interest, viz: Shall there
be an election this fall?
Their expectations were certainly
realized, for immediately after tlio
Bradley fiasco, Senator Wooten rose,
and commenced ltis argument upon
the question Which is to-day exciting
the interests of the wholo state, and
which is shared by the people of tho
whole country.
His manner was pleasing, dignified
anil earnest, liis points were clearly
defined, a synopsis of which will be
given in to-morrow’s Fun.
But oli. what a contrast! Ye shades
of (’icero and Dmuosthon.se, look down
and fin-give poor Higbeo, for he knows
no better. Y'es, Jiigbeu, followed,
und inasmuch as he intends to publish
liis speech, wo will not make a synopsis
of it. Wo cannot but pity liigbee.
Why will not some kind Iriond urge
him (if he really loves to speak) to
select some subject of less importance,
aud oue that requires loss study aud
ability to manage.
But it was about this hour that sev
eral Senator# became thirsty but feel
ing in their pockets they found “nary
a red.
Money we must have,” quoth one.
“How shall wo obtain it ?” said an
other “By using tho School Fund, ’
says a tlfird; and after a plain expla
nation by Senator Wooten, that it
was not “unconstitutional” —Candler s
version of it notwithstanding—tho bill
passed, and no sooner parsed, than it
flew to the House; and to-day, what
happy homes there will be! How
many landlords aud landladies will
sniilo, when so many board bills arc
paid. The Magnolia, Kenny and Leo
Smith will all come in for their just
dues, provided tlie Treasurer does not
reluso to acknowledge tlie law-.

I certify that J. C. C. Carlton is
clerk of the committee on the judiciary
of tho Fenate, and that liis services
were required, and actually performed,
beginning on the 11th instant, aud is
entitled to tlio same per diem pay as a
member.
(Figned) YV. YV. Merrkll,
Chairman.
J uly the 28 th, 1870, two hundred dollars
were paid by tlie Treasurer and re
ceipted for by Carlton. Now, for the
points, reader. Frst. The Parliament
ary usage, we believe, has uniformly
been to appoint these clerks of com
mittees by election in committee. If
this rule is varied wo believe it is only
a concession of courtesy on the part of
the commute, allowing the chairman
to make the appointment. But, we
believe, tho rule is as we state it.—
Now, we are informed that no appoint
ment has ever been made, and we
i.now of two deserving young friends,
who are candidates lor this clerkship,
that will be ustonishod when they re
ceive this number of The Constitu
tion. But whose, far worse than this.
We are informed that this committee
has never yet boen convoked, never
met, never perfumed as a committee
on an act, and consequently could
never have called Mr. Carlton’s
services into requisition. We do so
believe, that Mr. Carlton has never
performed one hour s service for this
two hundred dollars, which his father
in-law has certified for aud abutted his
abstracting from our much abused
Treasury. How long, O Lord, how
long? Will never again sharno come
back -to the heart# of our people and
public opinion have the weight of a
leather? Comment is useless. Words
fail us, and we cry in our desperation
at the intolerable nuisance of Radi
calism, “Who shall deliver us from
tho body ox this death!”
