THURSDAY MukNING, Ang.
11n* Convention.
This bcdy has now been in session
just twenty nine days. It is j roc cl
ing very slowly. The reconsideration
Fiend sti'l holds ! igh carnival in the
hal! every morning,—emitting a gr at
deal ui gas, and consuming a great
deal of time. The mania for speech
tuakirg has got so'high and In ', that
members even move to iccio e e i
something simply for the purpose of
securing the floor in order to lot off
some siij posed smart \hing-, that they
have studied up the night ! efure, and
nursed and groom rd for tiie orctLon.
Constitution making is a serious
business, and should not be buni iiy
performed. It is better to incur a
little expense now, than to still r se
rious inconvenience hereafter. Theie
aio important ltnittoie, occasionally
coming before the body, that require
and should have long and serious con.
sideration, CohsuTntion and discus
sion. But, the difficulty seems to bo
that too much time and wind are
spent on small matters. The long
speeches, as a general mle, throw no
light on the qtn stion before the house,
they are usually, .-imply expressions
of individual opinions, that mi. ht bo
more eloquently, forcibly and p inn 1-
ly expressed by a simple Vote,-- “Ave”
or “No” Besides, some of the long
harnnqttes sertn to us to he ontiie’y
irrelevant, out of orrh r and out of
place, if, for instance, i loud mouthed
demagogue wishes, for his own private
and ulterio.’ puip s s, to “horiey-lugglo”
and bcslabbcr negroes, he s.touhi hiie
a hall, and do so at his own expense,
dames’ Hali is convenient and com
modious. We once heard and saw,
(for as long a time as weiould hol t
our nose and breath,) ho Hon. Ho
race Maynard addressing a boiling,
seething and bubbling crowd of apes
iu that hail, and think that :om one
or two of the convention speeches,
reported hy the i onJitut'on, would
suit its rostrum better than the floor
of the house ot delegates.
The little tv lk done so far, wo
believe, with the exception of the
reduction of ihe salary of theQoveru
or, meets with general approval.
The past week has been mostly
spent on the report ot the commute'
on the judiciary. The Supreme an 1
SupAior Court Judges and Solictors
General are to be dec! and bv tho legis
lature in joint assembly, ihn salary
of Supremo court Judgos is fixed at
three thousand debars, in currencv,
instead of thirty-five hundred in gold,
ns here'olore; and that of Superior-
Court Jtldge# at two thousand, curren
cy, instead of twenty five hundred,
gfdJ. Ihe salaries of So'icitors Gen
eral remain, as heretofore, —two bun
dred and fifty dollars.
A paragraph in ihf> rep >rt ns adop
ted declares that tile Genova! Assem
bly may provide for an aj poal from
ons jury to another in the superior
and city courts.
There are many other unimportant
changes from the old law that wo
have not space to note.
The committee on Homestead linvo
made a report, which is not yet acted
upon. It gives a homestead ut reality
and personal'y ,or both, not to exci t'd
in value sixteeu hundred dollars, wi h
a right to waive it all except house
hold arid kitchen furniture and pro
visions te the amount of three hun
dred dollars ; and the right to soli and
re-invest, with the sanction of tire
judgo of the superior court; also, tho
right tn supplement it by adding to
that already sot apart, if less than the
whole amount, a sufficiency to make
it equal to sixteen hundred dollars
Nights under the old homestead not
to be affee'ed. 'ihe property of a
wife given to her nt tho time of her
ruairiage jr in limited or acquired by
her to he exempt Irani tho debts of

We surrender a large portion of
our space this week to a lengthy and,

schools of our State. I his article is
from the pi n of an able and brilliant
young writer, and will be found quite
interesting Bead it.

Picnic at Bluff ion.—On Sain-day
the 11th inst.jthe Blufftonitea propose
to have a “grand picnic. ’
The following are the names of the
gentlemen composing the Committee
of invitation :J. J il iyes, B ultor.;
0. Ii Harris, Uuihbert; E A West. Ft.
I Gaines; J. L, Me illan, Blakely; M
R, Barnes, Arlington; 0. P. Blocker,
Damascus; T. G. Strong, Morgan;
Ju i in Davis, Leary.
A simple examination of the compo
sition of this Committee is conclusive
evidence that a “large” time ls.expec
ted and we are requested by one of
the Committee to say that ail and es
pecial v 'lie young people of Calhoun
and adjoining counties, are cordially
invited to be present, and partnipaio
in the amusements offered to the vo
taries of ph asuro upon that occasion
and enjoy the hospitalities, for which
the people of Bluflton and that imme
diate section are to greatly noted.
R. R. Agent at Witr.ramsburgi.— We
learn that Judge J. 11. Giilfi i, for several
years past the clever anil gentlemanly depot
agent at Williamsburg, has been superceded
by Mr. Joe! 11. Crawford, of A merieus, Ga.,
wh@ takea charge until the services of an
other and permanent agent can be procured.
The cause of Judge Grifii i’s removal by the
railroad company is unknown to the public,
and has created no little surprise and dissat
isfaction among the citizens of that commun
ity, Judge Griffin is yiqsresented as having
been very courteous and accommodating in
his dealings with the patrons of the road at
that poim, and we cannot believe that it
was from any negligence on his part, as we
have heard him spoken of by ruilroid men,
as being very etlicietit in the discharge of
his duties as an employee of tbe toni. We
are gtad to b arn, however, that there is a
movement on foot to have hint reinstated,
and we earnestly truo, that he m y be suc
cessful iu regaining his position.
Bale of New Cotton —Beaty re
ceived the first hale of cotton of this vein’s
crop on last Men lay evening, the Gth inr.—
It was raised by Mr. J. G Sasser, a promt*
Dent planter, one mile south of town, weigh
ed 403 pounds, classed “strict low iniu
d'it!g“ and was purchased by Mr. P. E. Boyd
at 15 cents per pound.
Mr. Sisjer lias a splendid cm tv. crop the
present year, and he informs us that it is
opening very rapidly, by the war speaking of
Mr. S., reminds us of the fact that a more
tnorougb and practical farmer is seldom
i found in this country, and by his euergv,
perseverance, and strict application to busi
ness, is one of the few who have made plant
: iug a financial success since the war,
fciinee the above was written and sent ?
the printers, Mr. P. YV. Hammond, of Baker,
brought to town a bale of the new crop, and
failing to get anything above tho market
price, offered, concluded to carry it to D.iw
son, at which place he has doubtless arrived
ere this, nud sold to an advantage. We also
learn that a bile pissed up the road on the
morning of the 7th, from Arlington, consign
ed to a popular ware house firm in .4'hinv,
It was grown bv Mr. \7. J. Bice, of (his
county.
Pi Mi ixo at Sai.km. — On Friday
morning of last wok, no phu M onr
si’lf under the especial Ghapirnnoi,' of
nnr excellent Fiend, B. J McKennv,
r.T.J eras .I behind his ; uhlo pacer (O
vre made pur way ‘through the molt
ing rays of an August so - to Salem
church, in the fourth Di.-tiict of This
;■ ’ tufy. to be pr< ?■: nt at th< cl ijig •
cruises i.f it “B : g three dnvs si-rg.”
Arriving lute,, we b und that ail had
assembled in the new church, a largo
nni commodious s incitin', inn! wero
listening to s me excellent nui-m dis
coursed by a class of over fifty ill
number under tho 1 udership of Mr.
J. Bigby, Jr. This cl-ss hvl been
studying and practising <>:. ly six days
nnd reflected great ered t up: :i ’hem
selves nnd much honor upou their
teacher by tHe elegant manner in
->-. loch hey handled tho Gamut, and
their ready and c it c! answers to all
!l e question- propounded them.
Our chuhh >/ Uhok of the court occu
pied a conspicuous p< s tiuti it. iho mass,
and was exerting It.s vocui curds to
theii utmost capacity, while the pot-
Rpiration s’reamed from his forehead
and Itis right hand worked a largo
Palmetto fan, rapidly and vigorously.
M o wero it. formed after ward.-, by his
companion, I). II Miller, Lq , that
I.C wa3 doing tl.o singing tor both
parties and that his extraordinary ef
forts meant ‘'Beef ” for two. Judging
from the pleased con ten a nee 8 pf these
gentlemen, about one p. nr., we con
clude that his labors were crowned
with success. Preeisey at 12 o'clock
the audience and class were dismis-ed
for dinner aud sa titering out of tne
church, we encountered oUr clever
friend and scho 1 mate of yore, Mr.
Julian Davis, who ijnu.edia’eiy claim
ed us for bis own and informed os that
dinner would sown 1 e ready Our
Chaperon not interposing any objection
to such treatmen', we soon found our
selves in the leafy shades formed by
tho overhanging boughs of a formida
ble oak disposing of the variety of
edibles furnished by the hospitality of
Messrs. Plowden, Davis and Davis,
with an avidity equal to that possess
ed by any member of tbe “hungry
army” around us. After dinner Mr.
E J. Piowden set before us a basket
of fine peaches and opened several
nice watermelons. Of coutse we ate
un:il there was room for no more and
then sighed because of th - small css
tit our “food racfptacle.” But with
l ea’s assistance, we think we evinced
a proper appreciation of our friend’s
kindness, and did full justice to the oc
casion.
Before th3 class was ca'led to their
place in the chtitctt agai. , we strolled
through the Cemetery and found it
to be one of the handsomest and best
arranged cemeterie- in our county,
Tho smooth mounds, the tidy walks,
the lovely flowers and tho beautiful
shade trees, so appropriately and taste
lully arranged, all conspire to impress
a visitor with ‘.he opinion, that 9 e
people in tho neighborhood of Salem,
delight to do honor to the memory of
their depatted relatives and friends.
Liter in the day we left for home,
delighted with our tiip, only regret
ting that we tiad not come eailier and
been permitted to remain longer.

Editors Calhoun Department , Dawson
Journal-. I certainly ought to feel
grateful for tho “pity” so generously
bestowed upon me in an editorial wiit
ten for the Macon Telegraph x J(' Messen
ger of the 22nti of July, iu r piy to
an article written by myself for the
Calhoun department of the Dawson
Journal, on the subject of free schools
i am aware of the fact, that il a man
puis himself up as a political target
he will ceitaitiiy be shot at by poll i
eul guns, and that whenever ho ex
presses himself on any question
through tho columns of our public
J' URNAi.s, Di oli i wi-e, he need not
fall back on bis easy chair anil recon
cile himself with tho vain thoughtthat
every body else will be of tho same
opinion, hence, I read the coin passion
ate remarks of the Telegraph Messcti
ger with very little concern, aud at
first, intended to let the matter pass
without further notice; for my commu
nication had already accomplished
the purpose for which it was designed.
But, upon reconsideration, I have de
cided to take up the matter again so
far as to reply to the “preposterous
mone'osity” hurled lack at me.
In the llist place; the editorial cor
respondent on y quotes my illicit? un
til he comes to tho stem and incoutro
vei'i'de truths therein contained, ns ap
plied to coir distant; there he stopped
olf, and denies his numerous renders
tlio opportunity of reading my whole
communication, thereby do; riving
them of the t eut fit of the grounds
upon which 1 deem 'he present i-ysteni
ot public schools a tnilure, and ’.he
reasons why I thinx ttie free school
law should lie abolished unless there
be added a g.and improvement.
“lhe steady increase of pupils from
year to year, :he i stiuction utl'.rded
! to thousands of impecunious childien,
j helpless victims of tho war; the em
ployment given to many nobiaard s{-
fei ing Southern women, whose gentle
manners, puijty iuid <x* ccllence are
impiosseil upon ail within the nidius
, (if their influence : nud the imposihili
; ty of providing a hotter system of ed
ucation i T tho mas-, s," are no argu
j monts against the abolishing of the
free school law, nr radical.v changino
tiie present public system lor the bet
; ter. It is hardly pi estimable that a
J body of as intelligent men as make up
our present constitutional convention
will ini; use a law upon tiie state of
Georg: i -imply because it may give
employment to a few Sou'hern wo
men, however noble and gentle they
may be, when they know tho law will
iio ruinous to the people at large, and
a perfect draw-back upon tho • dura
tion of cur country: and the bare fart
that tiie uu tuber of pupils in the pub
lic schools is inciems.ng from year to
year, is no argument at all going to
show that tl o said system ot educa
tion is complete, ami that the imp cu
nioiis children .ro being hem fj ,<1
thereby. The id* a see ms t ■ in.* l d.e

ru ? p ... tie eligh-ost at: fctiou to the
schools out ti lo of n v own countv
but tbe piesumption is that delects
which hav) shown themselves in Ca -
houn ?eiintv tire the same throng out
almost eveiy southern county in tho
st ile, and, I ventuie to s v, that as
the number of pupils of the public
schools increase so'in the same ration
does ’.he tn.mher of pupils of the pri
vate Softools decrease, which only,
bears me out in the assertion that tho;
t.ee schools b .ve alniast utterly do-j
s'.royed the private schools of our
county and hence, as I said before,
our i'cltocls have been cut down to
terms rtf five and three mon'hs in ■
eottements where there once w?tc j
schools averaging from twenty 'o thir- j
ty students during terms of ton j
months Now, 1 ask, how in the
name of common sense tan Georgia
ad vnnee in the arts and sciences of litera
ture and civilization, if her general
intelligence is to be dependent upon a
system of education whose schools
can not afford to run longer than
three months out of twelve? %
So far as its being an impossibility
*o provide a bet'.er system of educa
tion for the mas os, I le' V° the mat
ter with the “law makers” of curt
State, anti if they think they have
not the brain to devise a.better plan
by which the joor chi dten ot Georgia
may leap the belief! a of a liberal En
glish educa: on, then I say, let tis
make a clean sweep, and wipe out the
whole affair.
Now rs to Mr. Ot r, I have nothing
to sav, for, nu doubt he i- as good a
man in the p ace as could be found in
the state.
I am opposed to free schools of any
kind, but if wo mils' have them, give
us free high schools as well as free
“common schools.” Bit>ee the system
is desig- ed for the benefit of the poor,
helpless victims of the war, le. it fulfill
it purpose, f r there are young men
and yettng ladies in every distibt,
wlio-e advancement render it imposi
b!e tor them to derive any benefits
from the present free co', moti schools.
But the idea of “voluntary taxation in
each community” is indeed a dead
limb on a dying tiee. You had al
most ns well spit in a man’s face ns
| io talk to him ale nt levying a special
1 rax. Our people ha\e paid taxes up
on taxes, until they are sick and tired
of it, and the very thought itself would
render the most laudable enterprise, a
! dead letter ir. the alphabet. I' we
| must have a pubic fund for the heiio
| tit of the proor of our State, let it iiv-
I deed and in truth, he a j)°or school
j fund, and let it lie appropriated only
; to tne educating of the poor and help
j !t?.-s children of the rout try, and not
;io the pioor and rich a ike. Let a’i
who are able pay fji their own edu
cation. Junius.
