The attendance, thought rot quite *o large a* usual was quite rsspseiwblo i» nnsibera. Tim ueual business *m transacted. Col. Es'ill, of the Bt»v»nr sah AVer#, preaided, an he always does, t» the entire satisfaction of the body. The old officers were all re-elected, with the eicepliou that, Cha* P. Hxn eell, el tho Thomasville Enterprise was elec‘el Secretary vice 11. 11. Cabsoiss, of the Monroe Advertiser. Approsri ate resolutions in regard to tbs death of Col. J. 11. Christy, ol the Athene Watchman were passed. Gainesville wss selected as the place for the next meeting. A detailed account of all the proceedings would be of no iaterest to most of our readers, and lor that reason, and for ibe lack »f space, wa will let this outline suffice, for the present, on that poixs. Os the noble, generous, kind, hospi table, sultnred and refined people of T!iOtnasviHe,and the welcome reception and kind treatment we received at their hands, we ean not speak in terms of too high praise. They enter tained the whole “pres? gang,” free of eharge a* tho Mjtchii.l llocsi, a hotel recently erected by one of ti e wealthy and enterprising citizens of that place, and leased and kept by Messrs A. L. Fabyen k Cos. Thia house is second" to but one in the state iw siae, and to none in beaatyjof ar chitectural design and construction, and pleasantness in all its arrange ments and appointments. It was on ly opened laat fait, but we understand that it has been* crowded all tho win ter and spring with boardaiaand tran sient gursts. Notwithstading its already Urge size, we learn that an addition containing fifty rooms is to be built to it during the summer. The propiia tors haveciosed ihe house (or the pres ent, as it is intended, mainly, for the areotntcodation of pleasure and health seekers who visit that healthy city during the wsnter. It will be reopen ed the firet of October asxt. During their leisure houre, the “pres* gang” made their head-quar ters at the offices of Mossra Triplett eud Hansel), editors of the Ttmss and Enterprise, where they ’net a hearty • - welcome, a feast ol reason and a now of soul and wins; the latter of home manufacture, of excellent qual ity and free and >!enly ae water, was supplied by the liberality of the edi ted aforeseid. Ws visited th# Thomaavilte Library, and found an elegant reading room with walUliuad wtth booksand tables covered with newspaper* and periodi cal*, and, also, in nooks and corner*, many curious article* as- a start for a museum. We ware'told that Thom atville has two moat excellent schools which with her library afford unsur passed educational facilities. Os the >iiK or tus scum sa. aoricui.tvral avc- mechanical association, which was held on the 24th, we know that we cannot daacithe it. No pen ia Georgia but tbe graceful and pro- HSte one of <Get “H. 11. J.” of the Ms eee TelegranK and Ueuenger, eau ap proximate a juat description of it.— The display of fruits sod vegetables surpassed any thing of the kind that we erer saw or dieamsd of. Cab bages, potatoes, turnips, beets, on ions, squashes, tomatce*, radishes, applet, peachea, tigs, grapes strawber ries, sad everything else that grows in this generous c'inmte were there in inunetrous size and bouudiesa profu sion. If we were to ssy how large some of the specimens were we would hardly be believed by any ore who has never attended a fair at Thornas tille. Flotsl lie)! was simply a Paradise ameng whose windingand intricate me ets and perfumed walks vs were lost sad bewilJeved. Caltivated flewers and wild flowers of every variety and •peciae,—flowers in boxes in bouquet*, ‘ in wreaths in crosses, in the form of 1 fairy houses,.and ia every other shape end combination in which thedeiicate bauds of tultnud ladies could arrange t’ #m were there mingling and blend iag their blight hues and sweet perfumes in a thousand way* delicious »n<f enrapturing to the sense*, but very perplexing to the pen that would attempt to describe them. Hut, after all, the moet interesting part of the fair, lo us was those fair ones who were not protessedly on ex hibition, and tor whom no premium was offered. Even now, in oor lonely desolate sanctum we ato cheered and inspired by a vision of a sylph-like form with blight sparkling eyes, mov ing like s houri among the pel fumed wa’fes of that terrestrial I’uradise, and with soft silvery voice making a luueic that angels in Heaven might hear. And, if ire could only have had the privilege of selecting;, awarding, and bestowing a premium upon the fairest of that living, breathing mov iug group of fair flowers, why then, well, bro. Triplett might enjoy aleae the distinction and the glory, if there are eny attached to the position, of be ing an old bachelor wire-grass editor, —that's all. We have omitted in the above to •peak of many things that might have seen mentioned. We have not spoken of tiie grand ball given by the citizens, to the prewe association, at the Mitchell House. It was a grand affair, and much enjoyed by those who are fond of, and participate in •uch amusements. We have not spo ken of the address of welcome with which the citiiensof Thotrasvill greet* ed us through the voice of her silver- I tongned orator Capt. Hammond.— i The address was a perfect jour of elo quence, elegance wisdom, wit and dig nity. Ws hope to give it to our read era in full before long; | We made many new and p'easant : arquaintansee at Tbomaeville, — re newed some vary pleasant old ones, and , will only say, in conclusion, that eo far as we, indivi.lu.aly, are concerned j we would be glad the Press Associa -1 tion would meet in ThomasvHle every yeer. Some of the opponents of a cenati tutional convention would like to havs our present constitution changed in many respects, hut fear the test, and claim th it the Legislature can make the changes at no additional expense to the people. The Legislature ean change any of the provisions of the constitution, hut the very least lime in which it can he done is two years, as an act changing the constitution has to be passed by two successive Legislatures and then j submitted to the people. Two sessions ' of the Legislature will cost the people, under the present regime, at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ; that much must l>e spent before one jot or tittle of the constitution can be changed by legislation. We want all this extravagance stopped right note, without waiting two years, and with ent spenoing such an enormous sum of money. Besides our legislature has spent more money every year for the last four or five years talking about changes in the constitution and holding a convention than it will coat to make half a dozen new ones. | Georgia dees not need bali of a | hundred thousand dollars worth oi ! legislation per year, and why pay so extravagantly for what we do not need. us call a convention of tb# people and etop it. If Georgia had been free when tbe present constitu tion was made such a reckless squan ! derrsg of money would never have 1 been permitted. But she was then in the hende of carpet-baggers. She is now free. Let he rise up in her m<>g esty and in her might and repudiate and kick frem her borders the last vestige of carpetbaggary, and be the jGeoigiuef old, true to bersei? once more. The Cwlinrd l,enf. " e are in receipt, this week-, |of life first number that' we have seen of a splendid little paper, ! called the “Collard Leaf,” published in Warrantee, Gu., by Thos. 8. Huh* ert. The paper ia small but well filled j aid well gotton up. We hope our j young friend Hubert shoes acquaint ance we made at Thomaeville, last week, a prosperous career io journal ises, B. B. Bullock was one of the roc kers of our constitution. R. B. Bul lock is to be tried in tbe superior Court of Fulton county, in a. few days for cheating and swindling the etate, j and tor breach of trust in turning over to H. I. Kemhall $130,000 of tbe bonds of the City o( Atlanta without warrant of lew. Yet, some people had rather live under the constitution made by him and euch as he, than to trust tbe best men in Georgia tomake a batter one. Col. W. T. Tiiomp-on, editor of ttia Savannah Morning Newt, has bean nominated for the convention. We have yet to hear of a single prominent and distinguished white man in tiie State of G.'orgre, who is opposed te the convention. We al lude to such men a* A. If. Stephens Cliae. J..Jenkins,Gen. Kobe?! Toombs, Judge Hiram Warner, 11. V. Johnson, James M. Smith, Gen. A. R. Lawton, Col. John Screven e’e., etc. The rent of opposition run* far below the standing and ability of such men as these-. Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, a man whom the people of Georgia once mad* their Governor but who- was driven from bis seat by federal bayo nets |bns been nominated and will be elected to the convention; and yet there are raeti wl.o had rather live under a constitution made by radical carpt t-hnggers, and that calls Georgians rebels, than to trust such men to make anew one. Shame! Sharne! ! Judga Hiram Warner, who has been on the Bupretne Bench of Geor gia nearly ever since the creation of the world, and, of course, is thoroagh )y familiar with our laws, and is moreover regarded as one of the best and purest man of the State, is in favor of a constitutional convention. Where is the men of equal standing and ability that is opposed to it? Col. John Bcravrm, of Savannah, late President of ’lie Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, has been nominated for the constitutional convention. There will be no abler or better man in that august body when it assembles than Col. Screven. Ben. E. Russell, editor of the Bain bridge Democrat has been aoinim.ted by the anti-eouveationists of Decatur county, as a candidate fur the conven tion. The Newt and Courtcr, of Chatlestnn 8. 0., has this to say in regard to an occurrence Hat took place notfarlrom Dawson a short time ago. It will be [erceived that that paper makes a slight mistake as to the locality of the occurrence; “The saying of Hamlet that “The funeral haked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage table,” was practi cally illustrated a few days ago io Georgia, although in this case the man, not the woman, offended the proprieties. In April last the wife of a Mr. Caraway, a farmer, near Atlan ta, in tha* B‘a‘e, was found lying in her own home, brutally murdered. Suspicion was directed against Cha*. Tommey.anegro.and being arrested he confessed to haring enmmited the crime. The husband ol the murdered woman was apparently overcome by grief, but prevailed upon the popu lance not to lynch tha murderer, who was safely lodged in jail, tried, con victed, sentenced to death and exe ecuted on Friday last, and now comes the curious pert of the story. On that morning Mr. Caraway, the be reaved husband, bought a license for a second marriage, put it in his pock et, witnessed the hanging, and then quietly went off and got married. It is not every man who can thus crowd a double amount of enjoyment into a single day, and Mr. Caraway my lie congratulated on the nerve and cool ness he displayed. Xerxes is said to have wished that someone would in vent anew pleasure, and ce-tainly the idea of witnessing the hanging of your first wife’s murderer, with a mar riage license to unit* you to a second paid for and carefully stowed away in your vest pocket, ought, we should think, to he sufficient to satisfy the most epicurean old barbarian, either aneien-fc or modem.” The Griffin Ifews sayd; “Charlie Sesgraves,a young man,twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and son of Mr. Benjamin Seagraves, a respec table farmer of this county, was found on Wednesday hanging by a trace chain from tho limb of a trse not far from his father’s houre No cause can be assigned for the rash deed, other than what he him-elf says in a note which was found by his friends. In this he states that be had contem plated killing himself far a lon;r time, and that while he knew it would be a sad blow to his reiati<es, he did not wish them to grieve for him. He willed his land aud other property to bis mother, after tbs payment of a few small debts, ft is thought by some that he was laboring under a fit of mental aberration, which was to some extent hereditary with him Charlie Seagraves was a quiet, moral, and respected young man, and his death is vstj much regretted by all who knew him.” The Macon Teegruph says; ‘ \fr A M. Pounds was krllWat Stewart’s Mil! in Jones county on last Wednesday eveniug by a young man by the name of Lincoln. It is reported that the parties had met at a store near the mill, and after diinking together, had proposed a wrestling match in which Pounds cauie off second best. This aroused his anger to such an extent that he showed fight, and followed Lincoln to the miH, where he was em ployed, and Lincoln struck him in the bead with a hand spike, breaking the skull aud causing aimoet instant death.” Postmaster General Koy and the Postal Commission arrived at Atlanta on Saturday. A grand banquet and an entertainment were among the pleasures of the trip. A leiv tVnrdv on lh«- lottlrtt tiou question. Txkmki.l Ct cxtt, May 2(5, 1877. , Mksssks. Editoxb: A few woids on the subject of a Constitutional Convention, as thot is the ab sorbing topic of the dai In our community. I can give only a/«<* ot the many reasons for holding a convention. It is the only way in which the people car get relief Irom their heavy taxation. The opponents ot a con vention. say that it can be done br legislation, but the experionce of th* p**a six tenches us that the legislature either earn not or will net give us the action needed to reduce our heavy expeuses and lessen cur taiew. With all their annual talk about re trenchment and reform, the per diern and v ileage of members of the legislature re mains about the same as wheu Bullock, one of the chief builders of our present consti tution, fled the rextsr to escape the piiTrSih ment due for his many misdeeds. Bat let us figure a little, aa ‘figures don't lie,’ aud see how it is and bow it ought to be. By transferring a great deal of local bust ness front the Legislature to the Superic r Courts, where it can be well done ’.n a lew hours at each session of the court, we th ink the annual session of the legislature could be shortened at least fifteen days.— Thia would reduce the sessions to twenty five days. Then reduce the per diem of the members and attacheea of the General As aembly to five dollars per day, and their mileage to 10 cents per mile,- • pay for cier gical work in the Senata $87.90 par day, and, in Übe House, SIOO.OO per day, this being what they got from 1861 to 1864, when their work was well done, aadf we have bv these simple chancta, as a short calculation will show, a saving of $40,662 each year in the one matter of legislation. If, in addi tion to this, the people, in convention as sembled, should see ptoper to change the meetings of our Legislature from once every year to once every two years, there whould be a further reduction of expense, taking the session of last year as a criterion of $111,163 00 in two yearr, or half that sum each year, which added to the amount saved by the reduction of aaiaries, above spoken of would make a saving of over $96,000 each year. Tbit is ensught to pay I for two conventions, and it is absurd to talk about the c 9« of convention, when a few simple changes like that* that can be made without detriment to the State’s interest will effset such a vast saving. It is like talking about Ibe coat of a stopper to atop a wasting leak in your syrup bar-el. Under tha reduction that we have spoken ot and with aeisions once in two years and 40 days to the session, our legislature would tost us only about $29,000 per year, whereas it now costs us over SIIO,OOO per year— more than four times as much. Before thsi*Xr,we had about 100 counties with, 1 think, eievan Superior Court Judges, at a salary at SI,BOO each. We now have about 187 counties, with twenty Judges at a salary of $2500 each, an increase iu our expenses, in that matter, of $28,200 00, gold, jD tha jugdashipe alone, outside of the pay of the Solieitera General and costs to the couotie*. We see that the amount to be raised in the state, this year trp taxation, is one mil lion seven hundred and fifty thousand dol lars, — ajarge increase over the taxes of last year. WAh, a state debt about twej've millions, and) such tasetron as the above, can the opponents es convention point out a remedy agaiast such wholesale extrava* gtDce but by calling a convention? Some say they are in favor of aconventioa and would vote for it, but are fearful in the matter, as there are a fern lawyers nominated as delegates, and they fear the constitution will not be submitted to Che people for rati fication or rejection. Let us not assume s* much,—let us have no more night mares on thia point. The lawyers are in iavor of sub mitting the constitution, when made, to the people and will so vote. The act calling a convention says it shall be submitted to the people, and we are eatiafied, Messrs. Editors, that the delegates to the convention will not disregard tl.e instructions ol the body that created them. A large majority of the Legislature refused to vote for the bill call ing a convention unless it should be submit ted to the people before it would be allowed to meet, aud that the constitutution made by them, should be brought hack to the people tbr ratification or rejection. We think it much better to hold a couveu* tion now than to wait, as seme suggest, for more prosperous times ; beaause the longer we wait the deeper in debt we get, and we ueed now a constitution sorted' to the times and the wants and circumstance* of the people. We are willing to leave it the wis dom of the convention to frame a consti tution that will sow, and in the future, re* do nw to the prosperity and wellfare of the whole state. To say that a convention elect, ed by th* pecpls would fail to do this would tell to the world that Georgians are incapa ble of seif-government. We cannot bnt be lieve that, with the above and other facta scaring the people in tbe face, they wili eee the necessity for a convention in the money line, and if they den’t rise up as one man and hvve thsese reforms made, they deserve to have these high and heavy berder-s of taxation continued upon them, aad also to ! continue io have their money wasted and squandered aa it has been done and will continue to he done amfer the carpet bag Bullcck constitution.

Theuk are times in the expetience of almost evert one when the mind becomes wasry and inactive, and ar stupid apathy : steals over ones entire being. At such times nothing sets to much like a charm in ‘dri ving sway dull care,’ and reviving one‘a whole nature, as to |»y aside business and the thoughts of business, and to give on»‘e self wholelv to recreation, to l eco-ae one of a bend formed for fun, frolic and enjoyment. Therefore, we spent the larger portion of last week iu the beautiful and flourishing little city of Thomaaville, in attendance upon the Georgia Pr ss Association, which con vened on Wednesday, the 28rd instant, and the Floral and Horticultural Fair, which was held on the day following. We had quite a pleasant time curing our sojkmrn, and had hoped to give our readers, tLis week, a full and complete history of onr trip—what we saw, heard and did while in Thovnasville, and give a griphic account of the beantiea and attractions es this picturesque little city, but fate has seeD proper to place us on the sick list, aDd we will have to be content with only a brief synopsis ; besides the Senior Editor of the Journal was present, and will doubtless “do up” every feature of this grand occasion, and preseaf itt to the readers of the paper “according to Hoyl.“ I We found the people of Thomasville courteous, hospitable and attentive, xnd fully up to the standard in every particular intercat conducive te the happiness of their invited guests. The Georgia Press Associa j tion (of which body we now have the honor of being a member,) was entertained at the Mitchell House free of charge, and alt the in terest possible was manifested to make oor stay pleasant. The address of welcome was delivered inAn able and eloqnent manner by Col. llamm&nd, a prominent member of the present legislature, from Thomas county, and responded to on the pan ol the press by Dr. J. D. Heyl, the Senior Editor of this paper, in the absence of the regular appoin ted respondent. Dr. Hoyl's address, though impromptu, was an able effort, appropriately rendered and brought froth immenee ap | p'ause from the entire assembly, and many were the cocdplimests bestowed upon him by bis brethren of the quill. The Grand Ball given at He Mitchell House to the members of the Pi ess, was a most brilliant affair, largely attended and the la dies present on the occasion, in point of beauty end loveliness, would vie with those of any other city in Southwestern Georgia. There were also present quite a nomber of chaiming yi ung ladies from Savannah, Al bany, Americus, Valdosta, Quitman and even Florida, that added much to the enjoy ment of the occasion. In this department of the Press Asrcciation, we represented ;he Journal to the best of our ability, and we are quite sure the Doctor did hit duty, also, and enjoyed it, as he was placed under the special charge of a ocainoittee appointed for the express purpose of seeing that be bad a fair oho wing. The fair was a grand success in every particular. The horticultural department consisted ©t vegetables of every conceive, ble variety and some of them the largest and finest we have ever witnessed. Floral Hall presented quite an inviting appearance indeed. The waits were adorned with garlands of evergreen and the fragrnce dispensed by the various flowers was trul) refreshing. Every conceivable space was bedecked with an immense profusion ol wild and cultivated Sowars, giving sufficien 1 eid nee of the industry and superior taste and culture of the fair ladies ol Thomasvilb and Thomas couity. Mr. S G. McLendon the gentlemanly Becretarv of the snsociatien whose cleverness, by the way, is only equal ed by liis goed looks, snd to whom we are under obligations for courtesies rendered, informed us that the number of visitors to the fair was largely in excess of sny pre vious one ever held, and the attendance was estimated at between 1700 and 2000. The people of Thomasville are liberal and enterprising, and fully alive to every inter est that will tend te the pleasure of those who go among them. The city furnishes many attractions that win the sdmriation of her visitors ; chief aroeng thei* is her hotel, situated right in the heart of the city, and erected at a cost of over one hundred thousand dollars. This hotel is well furnished, well kept, and in point of architeotnal beauty will compare favorably with any hotel in the State.— Thomasville also has two staunch journals, of which she might justly feel proud. The able editors, Messrs. Triplett and Hansetl are elever, courteous and hospitable gentle men. and the writer, as well as every other member of the Press, have been placed un der listing obligations to thorn for their untiring energies and efforts to make our viait pleasant .Long live the 71 met and Em fernrss*.
