Chicago, Fred Douglas made a j
speech in which lie almost went in
spasms over the occurrence of the
negro Lynch being made temporary
chairman of the convention, and !
boisterously claimed present equal-j
ity and prospective superiority to
the white race for the negro. Well,
Freddie, dear, you are doubtless the
equal of the white woman whom
you married several months ago,
and all Northern white women of
her style and taste, but that’s all
we can allow you, Freddie, darling.
Wherein It Should lie Amended and why.
Atlanta is aggressive, progressive
and enterprising. It was there that
the walking mania broke out in the
State and whence it has spread all
over the South. And now, after a
tramp of the intellectual bummers
of the city, the Constitution coolly
informs us that a young ladies’ two
hours go-as-you-please match had
been arranged for Wednesday, and
it doubtless came off at the appoint
ed time. Atlanta should be careful
of her examples, as they are so ea
gerly sie/.ed upon and followed by
the other towns and cities of the
State.
We had heretofore considered
Atlanta the most enterprising city
in the State, and did. not believe a
citizen could be found within her
borders who would place a straw
in the way of her progress. But at
last a set ol town officers has been
put into office who have dealt her
advancement a severe blow. These
unwise city authorities refused to
accept the offer of the company
which had formed to construct the
great canal from the Chattahoochee
river which has been so long talked
of there, and to supply the city with
an abuiulace of pure, fresh, cleap
water for all purposes, - at a cost
of not one cent to the city, provided
the citv authorities would grant the
water franchise to the company,—
The company has permanently
withdrawn its offer. This canal
is a great enterprise, and its con
struction would be of greater value
than any railroad entering the city.
It will yet be built.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio,
dated June 7th, says that a compa
ny of the salvation army, number
ing 24 men and women, was arrest
ed last evening for disturbing the
peace, by parading the streets, sing
ing, shouting praying and playing
musical instruments. The army
was kept in jail over night, and in
the morning were carried before
the police court. Captain Walker
and three others were tried jointly,
and convicted. Walker, being the
leader, was fined $15 and costs. The
others $5. The remaining twenty
demanded jury trials and were put
under bond. In passing sentence,
Judge Hutchins said the salvation
army has become a nuisance, and
must be suppressed like any other
nuisance, lie would impose a light
fine as a warning, but if arrested
again he would inflict the full pen
alty of the law every time. The
Cleveland authorities served these
howling lunatics right, only a little
too softly. Religion is not fanati
cism, and per contra fanaticism is
not religion, and the sooner these
lunatics are made to understand
that Christians will not submit to
these sacriligious acts the better for
the true Church of Christ.
The great Democratic journals
all over the country claim that the
nomination of Blaine and Logan
was the weakest ticket that the
convention could have picked from
among all the candidates offered,
and assert that the ticket can be
easily beaten. While it must bo
confessed that both members of the
ticket is in bad odor with one or
more factions of their party which
are just now loud and hitter in their
objections, and declare they will
not support the ticket, an^ are call
ing on the Democrats to nominate
a ticket that they can support, a
vigorous campaign may bo expect
ed all the same. All these com
plaints will be soon soothed into
silence, and the faces which are now
corrugated with frowns will pre
sent smiling countenances before
many weeks of the campaign have
passed. The Northern Republican
leaders are not such fools as to al
low this state of things to remain
long in existence. They know it
would insure defeat—and defeat to
them moans loss of office to them
selves and annihilation to their
party. Encouragement may, how
ever, he drawn from it. it would
be folly amounting to egregious non
sense for the Democrats to under
rate the strength of the Republican
ticket—such a blunder would be fa
tal. The Democratic leaders should
pay no heed to these muttorings,
lint should proceed to nominate a
ticket composed of our wisest and
purest men; then let the party
organize, as it were, Into one sol
i<l mass. With such leaders and
such organization we can, we will
triumph!
At Inn ta Const It lit ion.
Editors • (,’oNSTrTL'TioN: — The
Constitution adopted by tne people
of Georgia in ls77 has been in opera
tion for a period of nearly seven
years. It has in some respects
worked well, particularly those in ;
which the Constitution of 1868, and
the proceeding Constitutions of the
State were defective, viz: The pro
tection of the people ot the State
against all abuse of the credit of the
State by the Legislature, and the
protection of the inhabitants of
cities, towns and counties from all
abuse of their credit by municipal
governments. Its provisions as to
taxation are sound, and command
the homage of all honest men. Its
provisions as to the regulation of
railroads will be heartily endorsed
by a great majority of the people so
long as the regulations actually
made, whether by the Legislature}
or by a commission created by the
Legislature, and based on princi
ples of wisdom, justice and mode
ration. In other respects the Con
stitution of 1877 has worked badly
and contrary to the expectation of
its framers. Wo propose to discuss
some of its provisions, and to sug
gest practical remedies for the
same without the call of a Conven
tion. First, then, let us consider
that which astonishes and grieves
the tax payers of the State beyond
measure, the extraordinary length
of legislative sessions, under the
Constitution of 1877. Legislative
sessions intended to be biennial un
der this Constitution, by an abuse
of the adjourning power, have be
come annual, and are longer than
two annual sossions as formerly
held. Comparing sessions of the
General Assembly held under the
Constitution of 1877 with sessions
held under the Constitution of 1808,
from 1871, the era of the restoration,
until the Constitution of 1868 was
set aside, and the result astounds
us. The session of 1871 continued
forty-five days; that of 1872, held
in midsummer, (one of the most
remarkable in the history of the
State) continued forty-six days, in
which seventy general,four hundred
and seven special and local acts,and
forty resolutions were passed. The
General Assembly of 1876 contin
ued in session forty-two days; that
of 1874 forty-three days; that of 1875
forty-eight days; that of 1876 forty-
four days; that of 1877 forty-three
days. The session of 1878-9, the first
under the Constitution of 1877, con
tinued one hundred and forty-three
days, nearly live months. Of this
session it can be said that the great
length was partially necessary, as
upon it devolved the Important
duty of executing many constitu
tional provisions and of trying two
impeachments. At this session 150
acts of a general nature and 205 of
a local and special nature were
passed. It appears that this session
of 1878-’7D exceeded the sessions of
1871 and 1872 by forty-three days.—
The session of 1S8U-’81 continued 115
days, twenty-five days more than
the two sessions of 1871 and 1872.—
The late session of 1882-’83 contin
ued 129 days, thirty-nine days more
than the sessions of 1871 and 1872.
It cannot be said of these sessions
of 1880-1, 1882-8, that such impor
tant reasons for their great length
existed as in 1878-9. In the ad
joining State of South Carolina, the
Legislature of 1882 lasted thirty
days, during which fifty-three gen-
ral and one hundred local and
special acts were passed. In the
same State the legislative session
of 1888 continued thirty-two days,
during which 250 acts and 88 joint
resolutions were passed. While
some of the enormous consumption
of time, and of course money, (as
the Legislature usually costs about
41,000 daily) by the General Assem
blies of 1880-1,1882-8 may be charged
to absence of members from the
capital attending private business
at home and elsewhere, this cause
will not fully answer the question
constantly asked by thinking men
throughout the State: “Why are
legislative sessions now so long?”
The true answer is, that a large
part of the time so consumed Is di
rectly due to the provisions of the
Constitution of 1877, paragraph 15,
section 7, article 8 of this Constitu
tion, regulating the introduction
and passage of local and special
bills a prominent cause of these
protracted sessions. While under
all of the Constitutions of this State
from the first until 1877, local and
special legislation originated in
either branch of the Legislature, and
was acted upon without the inter
vention of a special committee.—
Now, under said paragraph 15, local
and special bills cannot orig
inate in the Senate. All local and
special bills must originate in the
House, must be referred to a spo-
chil committee, and must be report
ed upon by that committee, unless
by a two-thirds vote such reference
! is waived. The concluding clause
of said paragraph 15, requiring lo-
1 cal and special bills to be intro
duced within the first fifteen days
of the legislative session has been
practically expunged, as the same
! may be set aside by a two-thirds
vote. The result of this provision,
requiring (in the House) so many
two-thirds votes on the action of a
special committee, prohibiting anv
action of the Senate upon local an I
special bills unless they have been
first acted upon by the House; leav
ing the Senate with nothing to do
for so many days in the beginning
of the session, thereby protracting
its labor at the end of the session,
is a great waste of valuable time.
Paragraph 15 should he stricken
from the Constitution at once and a
provision inserted in its place al
lowing local and special legislation
to be introduced into either branch
of the General Assembly within the
first twenty days of the session and
not afterwards. Another prominent
cause of the length of legislative
sessions, under the Constitution of
1877, is that the General Assembly
is required by it to elect judges of
the Superior Court and solicitors-
general. The people of this State
should be willing to make the sac
rifice of time and money required
by these elections, if the officers
elected were in any respect superior
to those nominated by the Govern
or and approved by the Senate. No
one, however, claims any such thing
for legislative elections, and it is
not the fact. As members of tbe
Legislature are required to vote for
judges in every one of the twenty
circuits, it is plain that each mem
ber as to nineteen of the circuits is
voting without information except
such as may be derived from par
tisans and opponents of the can
didates. Besides these objections
to the legislative elections of judges
and solicitors, there are others, such
as the combinations between can
didates on purely personal and self
ish grounds, and that humiliating,
repulsive and demoralizing system
of personal solicitation, foi»influence
and support, which are part and
parcel of the legislative system.
The General Assembly should be
released of this duty; judges and
solicitors should bo appointed by
the Governor and confirmed by the
Senate. Try striking from the Con
stitution of 1877 paragraph 6, sec
tion 4,article 8,which allows the ses
sion of the Legislature to be extend
ed, and inserting a provision which
would limit the length of a session to
eighty days, still retaining in the
Constitution the power of the Gov
ernor to convene the Legislature
whenever an emergency may arise,
ample time would be allowed to
transact the business of legislation.
The judgment of public men in the
State, familiar with legislation, is
that sessions ot forty days annually,
or eighty days biennially, is as much
time as should be allowed to an or
dinary session of the General As
sembly. The history of annual ses
sions, the opinions of public men,
the history of annual sessions in
our sister State of South Carolina,
all demonstrate that the length of a
legislative session is not an un
known quantity which cannot la*
fixed by a Constitutional provision
beyond the power of extension. Be
sides paragraph 14, section 7, article
8, which prevents the passage of
any law unless a majority of all the
members of each House vote for it,
the Constitution should prohibit any
legislation by either branch of the
General Assembly unless five-sixths
of the members of each House were
present. This would allow an ab
sent list of twenty-nine Represent
atives and seven Senators—a num
ber so small as not to interfere with
the transaction of business.
In conclusion, then, we say that
tin* provisions of the Constituion of
1877, which should be repealed us
unwise and hurtful, are those re
specting local and special legisla
tion, the election of judges and so
licitors, and the power of extending
the legislative session; wo would
insert in their places the protection
of preceding Constitutions as to
local and special legislation, with a
clause limiting the time within
which it could be introduced, the
provision of the Constitution of
1868, as to election of judges ot the
superior courts and solieltors-gener-
al, a provision limiting the length
of the legislative session to eighty
days, with no power of extension,
and a further provision that no leg
islation of any kind could be trans
acted unless live-sixths of the
members elected were present.

Miss Nettie Brott^of Oswego Falls, I -—- .
is the heroine in a rather romantic ! T Jtu ” es G,lles P Ie Blaine was born
marriage. Some time ago she read fan. 31,1820, at the I ndian Hill Farm
an advertisement in a newspaper
soliciting correspondence with some
lady, with a view to marriage, if all
was “proved agreeable.” After cor
respondence and the exchange of
photographs the gentleman sent for
the lady to visit Jiim at his home in
Montana. She left here about the
first of May for the far West. He
met her for the first time about two
hundred miles this side of his home
at tins town of Billings, in Montana.
She would not marry him until she
had visited his home and learned
more of him and his character.—
She found in his home his mother
and two nieces, who cordially re
ceived her. Suffice it to say that
this daring orphan girl two weeks
later fully determined to remain
and grow up with the country. The
agreement was that if she did not
like him or he her enough to marry
he was to pay her expenses back to
this place. She paid her fare out to
him. The young lady, was a mem
ber of the Baptist church and bore,
we believe, a good reputation. The
following is taken from a Montana
paper and tells the sequel to the
story:

A dispatch from London dated
June 4th, says: Mr. Vanderbilt
was waited on by a deputation of
English ship builders and cotton
manufacturers, who wished infor
mation from America’s money king,
regarding manufacturing prospects
in the United States. Mr. Vander
bilt received tbe. delegates in the
most courteous manner, and seem
ed anxious to impart to them de
sired information. He expressed
great confidence in the future of the
southern states, as where the cotton
and iron manufacturing industries
will be the most profitable. He re
fers to the wonderful growth of
Atlanta and the enterprise of its
people. The coming centennial
cotton exposition at New Orleans
which he urged British manufac
turers to visit and witness for them
selves the products and resources
of America in miniature. Mr. Van
derbilt recommends the states of
Florida, Alabama and Georgia as
desirable states for the manufac
ture of the finer fabrics, and the
gulf ports of New Orleans, Pensaco
la and Mobile for shipbuilding
yards, and where property can now
bo bought at lower rates than ever
again in the future. The certainty
of America’s again becoming a
great maritime power, Mr. Vander
bilt believes is an assured fact. He
urges the British shipbuilders to
establish ship yards at the gulf
ports, and prepare for work which
will surely come to them in the
near future.

On last Friday, the 28th ult.,
Messrs. R. Q. Houston, B. R. John
son, George McMillan and W. K.
Roberts went on a deer bunt in the
Alapaha river swamp, about three
miles from town. After taking
their respective “stands” Mr. Hous
ton went below about three miles
to “drive” up the swamp. When he
was near the Brunswick and Wes
tern railway bridge which crosses
the Alapaha three miles east of this
place, on his return an immense
rattlesnake sprang from the brush,
and buried its fangs in the calf of
his left leg. He at once called for
help, and fortunately Mr. J. 1’. Loyd,
section master, who was having
some work done near, heard and
responded to his call. By the time
Mr. Loyd reached him Mr. Hous
ton’s leg below the knee was swol
len to twice its usual size and he
was suffering great pain. Mr. L.
bound a ligature around the log
above the knee, and then boarded
Ills hand-car to come to Alapaha
for a physician. Dr. Fogle was soon
found and hastened to the scene of
suffering. When they reached Mr.
Houston’s side, wonderful to relate
he was found sweetly sleeping and
the swelling was almost gone from
his leg. Around him were lying
dead near a half bushel of mosqui
toes, who had drawn the poison
from him. The gentlemen, in great
surprise, aroused Mr. Houston, who
barring a little weakness from the
loss of blood was as well as he ever
was. This is a wonderful story, and
some may be inclined, just as we
were, to doubt it at first but we are
personally acquainted with all the
parties mentioned, except Mr. 1 lous-
ton, and we do not believe they
would vouch for a story not true in
every particular. The snake was
killed by the section hands and

Washington county, Pa. His
father was one of the heaviest land
ed proprietors in the State, and the
son spent several years in early
youth at school in Lancaster, ().,
living in the family of the Hon.
Thomas Ewing, who was at that
time Secretary of the Treasury, and
whose (lecendants have since been
prominent in Ohio politics. He en
tered Washington College and
graduated at the age of seventeen,
and for a time taught school in his
native State. 1 Ie was an occasional
contributor to the magazines and a
writer of fugitive pieces for the
newspapers during his leisure
hours. He accepted, in 1858, a call
from Maine and assumed charge of
the Kennebec Journal which, in
conjunction with the Portland Ad
vertiser, he edited for some time.—
He was elected to the Maine Legis
lature in 1858, and served four years.
At the beginning of his last term of
two years, he was chosen Speaker,
and performed the duties of that
office to the satisfaction of the law
makers of the Pine Tree State, It
was during the war in 1862 that he
was sent to the Thirty-eighth Con
gress, serving on the committee on
postofliees and post roads. He at
once devoted himself to a careful
study of the rules of the House, and
it was not long before he began to
be regarded as one of the best par
liamentarians in that body. He
was re-elected to the Thirty-ninth
Congress and repeatedly thereafter
from the same district, and in 1869
was made Speaker of the House.—
His rulings were always prompt
and accurate.
His position and skill as a parlla-
mentariaiV brought him conspicu
ously before the public, and even
when temporarily displaced by the
advent of a Democratic House and
the election of a Democratic Speak
er he led the forlorn hope-of his par
ty with great brilliancy on the iloor.
When the Republican Conven
tion was held in 1876, Mr. Blaine
was the most popular leader in the
party. But the Grant administra
tion was against him, and its forces
defeated him. He received 851
votes in the final vote as against
879 for the Hayes’ combination en
gineered by Roscoe Conkling, who
had never forgiven the “Plumed
Knight” for his severely vivacious
reference to him on the floor of the
House, in which Blaine compared
Henry Winter Davis to him “as a
diamond to a dunghill.”
Blaine, after his defeat, entered
the campaign for the Republican
candidate, and worked night and
day for his election. It is said, how
ever, that after the election, and af
ter the Southern policy of the ad
ministration had been enunciated,
he never went to the White House,
feeling that President Hayes had
not done his duty by the party
which had elected him. As a Sena
tor lie voted against the electorial
commission bill on the ground that
it was unconstitutional. In 1880 lie
was once more a candidate for the
presidential nomination, and suc
ceeded in so using the influence
which he had ns to defeat the third
term scheme and to overthrow the
Conkling-Cameron-Logan Trium
virate. lie did as much as any
other one man to elect President
Garfield. The history of his connec
tion with the President during his
brief administration and after the
fatal bullet of Guiteau had done its
work is too fresh in the public mind
to need repetition here. Shortly
after Arthur succeeded to the Presi
dency Mr. Blaine retired from the
Cabinet, and has since devoted him
self to the preparation of his politi
cal memoirs, many chapters of
which have already been publish
ed.
of Jackson county. In 1852, 1858,
1856 and 1857 lie was elected to the
Illinois Legislature; from 1858 to
1857 he was prosecuting attorney of
the county, and in 1856 he was a
presidential elector and voted . for
Buchanan. During all this time he
was a Democrat, and a very en
thusiastic and vigorous one, the
section of country he lived in being
strongly Democratic and pro-South-
ern in its sympathies. Ho was
elected to the Thirty-sixth Con
gress in 1858, and again to the
Thirty-seventh in I860, lie left
Congress to enter the army, serving
first as a private in a Michigan regi
ment. He was present with that
regiment at Bull Run in July, 1861,
but returned to Illinois after that
light and began raising a regiment.
At that time Logan’s political senti
ments were regarded as suspi
cious, and it was even charged that
he was raising these troops to enter
the Confederate service, as many of
tbe people from Ills section of Illi
nois did. His regiment, however,
was brought into the Union forces,
with Logan as colonel, and served
with the Western army. Col. Logan
was wounded at Fort Donelson in
February, 1862. In the following
month ho was made a brigadier
general, and in April ho was pro
moted to a major generalship, and
commanded a division in the Vicks
burg and Atlanta campaign (1868-
1864).
In 1865, at the end of the war,
Logan was appointed minister to
Mexico, but declined the office, lie
was elected to Congress in 1867, and
again in 1889, and succeeded Rich
ard Yates as Senator in March,
1871. In 1877, at the end of his term
as Senator, he returned to the prac
tice of the law in Chicago; but was
again elected to succeed Oglesby as
Senator, and took his seat in 1879.—
Ilis term ot service will expire in
1885.
Logan is one of the readiest and
most fluent speakers in the Senate,
particularly strong in invective.—
With a powerful voice, a vigorous
and energetic mind, and great volu
bility, he has hammered through
many measures. Almost alone and
unaided he conducted the late de
bate against Fitz John Porter, and
this debate well showed his powers
and force.
In person, Logan is large with a
dark, swarthy complexion which
has given rise to the soubriquet
“Black Jack,” Immense muscles,and
heavy stiff, wiry hair, which gives
him the appearance of an Indian.
In politics, he is a Stalwart Re
publican, holding the most extreme
views. He was an earnest sup
porter of Grant in 1880, and has had
the Grant influence in his present
campaign. He is undoubtedly pop
ular with the soldiers, and was the
favorite candidate of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
