An effort to change the line between ]>ee and Terrell failed. Govomor Cenley lias returned the bill to order a special electi on for Gov ernor without approval. • See interesting Legislative proceed ings on first and third pages of this paper. The seat of Mr. Pierce, membor elect to tho Legislature from Calhoun count} 7 , has been declared vacant. Marshal Sharpe has cul ed the at tention of the Attorney Gen. Ake-r --man to tho advisability of erecting a Government Jail in New York. We copy elsewhere from the Savan nah Ann a communication from Citi zen in regard to the duty of the Legis lature in investigating Bullock’s con duct Brunswick and Albany Kail road. The Atlanta Era, of yesterday says: We are glad to learn that the reor ganization of the Brunswick and Al bany Railroad is complete, and that this work of internal improvement will soon be perfected. Some changes have been made in tho Board of Di rectors. Mr. Stephenson, President of of the Ocean National Bank of New York, was elected one of the directors, to fill tho vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Lewis Scofield, Esq., of this city. Charles L. Prost, Esq., was elected President of tho road. The new organization assumes iu full all liabilities of the road, and will pay all debts that may have accrued. Fur thermore, arrangements have been made by which sufficient funds will be available for the immediate completion of the road, not only to Cuthbert, but also to Eufaula, Alabama. If the views of tho Telegraph and Messenger arc correct in regard the State Aid Bond question, and that seems to boa fair representation, Messrs 7 Clews & Cos. will yet suffer at the hands of Bullock and Kimball.— The Constitution of the State limits the powers of the Legislature. What the Constitution warrants, they may do, and what it prohibits they may not do. We copy the following from that paper on this subject: Their action against a constitutional prohibition is a dead letter, and all pro ceedings under it are null and void. Now, the Constitution of Georgia has no other provision authorizing the Legislature to pledge the faith of the State for the benefit of private corpo rations, except one limiting that power. It is the last half of the fifth para graph of section sixth, article third, creating the Legislature and defining its \>owers. It reads as follows : The General Assembly shall pass no law making the State a stockholder in any corporate company ; nor shall [he credit of the State be granted or loaned to any company without a provision that the whole property of tho compa ny shall be bound for the security of the State, prior to any other debt or lien except to laborers ; nor to any oth er company in which there is NOT AL READY'AN EQUAL AMOUNT IN VESTED BY PRIVATE PERSONS; nor for any other object than a a ork of public improvement. French Emigration to Ucorgia. A Letts* to a Geoboia Legislator. —Baris, Oct. 16, 1871.— Dear Sib : I have just had a conversation with M. Edmond Farronce, editor of the offuial journal of the French Government, in which he assured me that if proper steps were taken a largo tide of the French emigration could be turned to the State of Georgia—The class of emigrants too are the very kind that we most need—cultivators of the soil —men who know how to work aud who are not afraid of work. Knowing the importance to our State of securing such emigration, and knowing the interest you take iu the subject, I take tho liberty of suggest ing that it would bo well for you to correspond with Monsieur Farrenee who wili readily give you any infor mation you may require. Os course you have been astonished, as all the rest of the world has been, at the immense amount of surplus capital in France whioll recent events have brought to light. lam informed by French citizens of high intelligence that proper invitation and inducements might secure the use of some of this capital for business enterprises of any kind in the State of Georgia. As Ido not propose to negotiate in business transactions myself, and as I desire no appointment either from the j State or from any of its citizens, you , will perceivo that the hints I have' dropped are entirely disinterested. I You are at liberty to make such use l of this letter as you think best. I am, dear sir, very respectfully and truly yours, 11. H. Tulcer. Acting Governor f3o«ley has par doned Adeline Eva*i«, who was convic ted of the murder of James M. Den man, in Bartow County last Spring The petition for her pardon was signed by a large number oi *' e nost respect able citizens and ladies of the section. “HOW TO BEAT till A NT." Tho Savannah Republican says that under this caption a correspondence of tho Nashville Union and American presents a plan for acoomplishing tho great desideratum in American poli tics —the overthrow of a man who is fast driving the country into a military despotism. Wo lot the writer speak for himself, only premising that we are willing to any honorable expedient that gives promise of so desirable a result: The imniiment prospect of General Grant’s renonunation for the Presiden cy forbid any discussion of probabili ties on that hand. It is foreordained, and it is doubtful even whether the formalitv of a nominating convention will be indulged. The Radical party belongs to Grant and is tho Grant par ty of the country. Now, if gentleman connected with the Republican party desire to defeat even Grant, there is but one practicable way of doing it,! and that is to call in each of the Blates an an ti Grant Convention and let that convention nominate an electoral ti-k --et, composed, say, equally of Demo crats and anti-Grant Republicans, sel ecting for the places the purest and best men in the respective States Lot tbis ticket be run in each of the States on its own merits, uncomplicated with candidacy for the Presidency. l.ct this college of electors, if elected such, go on the day prescribed by law and cast their votes for a President and Vice President. I verily believe that such a ticket would prevail over the Grant ticket in New York, Pennsyl vania and Ohio, and in enough other States to insure tho defeat of Grant bo yond peradventure. This w 7 as tlie original intention of the Constitution The convention sys tem practically did away with it and made the electors mere cyphers. This plan recurs to fundamental principles, und the advantage of taking the whole field against Grunt A Democrat. To Hie Point. Savannah, Ntv. 18th, 1871. Editor Morning News : I read, with great satisfaction, yjur remarks in the paper ot this morning on tho tardiness nndseo ning indifference of the Legislature in re gard to investigating the frauds alleg ed to have been committed iu the dif ferent departments of the State Gov ernment within the past four years. It is not remarkable that whilst ev erybody believes and, in fact, knows that tho grossost and most stupendous frauds and abuses have been practiced by public officers and agents, and whilst everybody desired and expected that on the assembling of the Legislature the most vigorous steps would bo im mediately taken to investigate and ex pose these frauds and punish tho per petrators, yet no decided action has been taken by that body on the sub ject, although half the time allotted fur its session has expired 't How is this state of things to be accounted for t It is known that there are ceitain per sons who from selfish motives, do not wish these investigations to take place. But surely they are so numerous and powerful as to control a Legislature fresh from an insulted and injured people. The truth is, the people should take this matter in h-ind hoid public meetings in the several counties and, by proper action, arouse their Repre sentatives to a proper sense of their ob ligations, and require thet they promp tly discharge them or surrender their trust. There should he no dallying about this matter. Tlie people owe it to themselves to see to it that their rights are not to be defeated in this way. Tho next we shall hear is that the Leaislitive term is too short to accom plish so great a task. But the Legis lature should he told in advance that no such apology will be received ; that no excuse whatever will or can justify the neglect of so important a duty They can, if necessary, piolong the session, or adopt the suggestion made of organizing an outside commission to make the investigation for them and submit results. The latter of which they have had already ample time to do; but nothing has been done. 1 sincerely hope that you will continue to speak out, and iu plain lur.guugo on this subjuet, until members of the legislature are brought to a sense of their duty, or the people to a proper appreciation of their rights There is nothing at present upon which a pub lic journalist in Georgia can better be stow his time and labor than this. A Citizen. The carpet-lmggers are trying to disturb the titles to real estate in New Orleans in order to grab some of the most valuable property there. A large portion of the real estate in Louisiana is held under grants and ti tles from the former French and Span ish Governments. These titles, under old surveys, have been held as good, without confirmation by* the United States ; but under some recent act of Congress, the provisions of which are not generally known in Louisiana, it is claimed that in all cases where the title has not been confirmed, or where the surveys cannot be found in the Laud office, the property is public land, which must be turned over to the United States, subject to entry under the provision* of the home stead law. Attitude of Napoleon. —According 1 to the Journal de Paris, Napoleon 111. considers himself as still the legitimate sovereign of France; consequently he refuses to release from their oath of fidelity the officers who have wiitten to him to ask whether they ought to place themselves at tho disposal of the present government. “Should a ques tion arise,” 6ays ho, “between order and anarchy, combat for the former ; but you remain bound by your oath ; until the moment that the country shall have been directly consulted, I am tho legitimate sovereign.” rROJI ATLANTA.
