HuW DO YwU KNOW VV3AT WE
ARE FOR?
Tile .Vnriiht(/ Jfiirr cbeK'*tw mn ag the
opponents t > the tVißhtitntioiul C-onven
tion. We <liil not toy w>. We cai.l v <
fivon-il some chilngSs ift the, Const! to Hen.
or rather, tlmt some changes might 1h)
nr,jet? with propriety. Wliilu wo thought
that changes might t>? mode for the gem
rai weal, we simply presented the tjn 4i°i>
to tlio people wtiether they worn able at
present to pay for tho weal or not. We
are not the strictest eebnemixt in the
world, for we believe in paying the tid
dler, bat onr enquiry was, “couldn’t the
fiddler he dispensed with until we were
able to have n donee without involving
ourselves. ” Onr friend is a man of dm
taste and really want', n new house for In
wife nml beautiful daughters, but, his crop
f bled in quantity mid quality and the
prices' were rodnceil on account of the
financial crisis. Will my friend, already
hurthened with debt for tho snUo of per
sonal comfort and tho gratification of
tiute, iucrriv'.o his financial embarrass
ments. If a person ought not nor will
not involve liimself beyond his nldlity to
pay, ought he to involve by a deliberate
net# corporation of which lie is a member.
This is a question we submitto tho people,
for onr opinions lire not infalliable; there
fore, wo will not dictate to onr renders,
lint will cheerfully abide by tho de -eion
of the people. lint wlmt are the proposed
changes in tlio Constitution that i.e -c >si
tnte an immediate convocation of tho
people’s representatives to itmke ? One
urged is to alter tlio ft<institution so ns to
pornmuently locate the Capital at Milledge
vdie. And what ia the argument in ml
vocaicy of this elinugc ? “Tlmt it was re
moved to Atlanta by corruptionists.” This
we think is “too thin” ever to attain'to
the dignity of logic. If an unrighteous
assembly do a righteous net, slull the ac t
with its good e(Teels be ignored. If tlio
removal of tlio Capital to Atlanta wim
wrong, attack it upon that high ground;
don’t, even by implication, admit that the
thing donu w#s unexceptionable, but ob
jected to because it was done by the wrong
party. If Atlanta is the wrong place for
the Capital let the why’s be shown in ar
gument, If Milledgeville is the rit lit
place, let the reasons bo given. Is the
Capital at Milledgeville more aecr.ssablo
to the people’s representative than At
lanta? Will tho mileage, lie less? Will
money expended on a Capital in Millodgo
vilh—-a town now dilapidated, with no
prospective growth boa better invest
ment than money invested for State pur
poses in a rapidly growing and prospiT
ons city. If no, lot that bo the issue. The
argument that the sale of the State's
property in Atlanta will pay the expenses
of a Convention doesn't lessen the ex
pense* of the Convention. It is imma
terial whether tho funds to meet tlio ex
penses of a (iwiventiou is raised by taxa
tion or by the sale of property belonging
to thu State—the cost to the people is the
same.
That the State should dispose of prop
erty valuable and at all times convertible
into money at its full value, on account of
its locality, and spend the proceeds of the
sale in removing to properly valueless, on
account of the obscurity of its locality,
npenks very little for the pride, enterprise
and prosperity of the State. That onr
. judiciary ry*!ey ought to be chan,-rd so
as to revert back to the old antiquated sys
tem, long fince abandoned on account of
its inefficiency, wo think is all bosh.
That a Lumpkin, a Colquitt, a Stephen*,
and others practised in tho Inferior
Courts of former times, with profit mid
honor, we don’t, pretend to doubt; lmt
that either of them or indebted to the
Inferior courts for their legal uttainmon!-
Mld judicial greatness, is simply prepos
terous.
We make no war upon the present or
tho former judicial system of the.slate;
. it);er-v.il suit us, lmt we would rather .- •
the State progressing tlmn retrograding.
If the people wish to make tho change of
the Capital an 1 alter the judicial system,
with womanly amiability wo will nequiese.
Tlio press is warming no all over t! o State
upon tho subject. The argument in btvor
of the Convention and change of too ('(in
stitution is about as weak as the objections
urged.
We see tlmt the Indwexmcnt is els-c 1
among the epp ments to the Convention.
If the report given in the papers be cor
rect, we are in a hopeless minority, and we
are willing to bo so considered until the
necessity or utility of the change is better
established.

vided upon this issue for a Convention ns

BAD WORDS!
!He in Gone! Lhc is Goeo !It is Gone !
What words convey to the heart a great or
burthen of amines.-, than those uttered by
•v lung aufl known friend to n son-owing
husbiiod, in ttccerita of grief mid mournful
whisperings, “She is gone.” Who can
I probe aud find tlio depth of that wound
| when the piercing words, though uttered
|in deepest sympathy, falls upon hi* ear,
“She is gone.” Though it comes at tin
! sid hour of twilight, or in the dirk gloom
if thi* noon of night, or v.-hen Aurora's
earliest beams first guild the eastern hori
zon, the pain is none the 1, It itrue
it intensifies t he darkae*# of the night and
makes the lonely spirit gloomy. But, Oh 1
docs it not veil th - spirit in gloomy snd
ueri 1 .), even in tho light of the brightest
day. “She's gone I” tlio companion of
his lioßom, the sharer of his joys and sor
rows, the mother of his India i gone.
With the utterance of these words, what u
panoramic view burnt* npon the vision of
Ida undying memory. Every geutlem-is
and kind olliee are painted there with the
reward of tier sweet and grab ful smile;
hi* every lmrsli word ia w ritten in legible
character# there, with the pain that it
inflicted and the sad face she wore, to tes
tify nguin-t, him. Hut, is the pain le
\ severe when n weeping wife is nrouaed
■ from her clnnihei-M of exhaustion to hear
the sad news that, the husband over
whom she has watched with wifely tender
ness and vigilance through a protracted
illness, alternately hoping and despairing.
"He is gone. I” Oh, how weighty the be
reavement; whftt a host of responsibilities
rush upon her mind; lier provider, her
protector, the guardian of In-r every
interest, her confident, her friend, her
companion is g*ie. What a mournful
sadness the sound of that word brings---
“Gone I” A dear friend ho* left us to he
gone for years “or it may be forever,"and
our hearts arc sad and lonely. Is it. l<-<
tt.ul when we itay of the old year in which
wo liavo enjoyed mid endured much, “it
is gone." It will never return; it. has per
formed its mission; it lias carried us on
nearer to that homo whither it will-soon
be announced of ns he or she is gone. What
talcs of sadness it linn borne away in its
sable robes, into the eternal gone. II; tv.
many hearts have bled, how many eye ;
have wept, how many widows have rent
the air with moans, and how oft have the
breezes of heaven w.uftM away the or
phan's pitiful cry, “He is gone 1”
Now we nay the Old Year is gone.
AV’lmt is its rocord against ns, to he re
vealed in eternity ? Can we review it with
pleasure or shame ? Can wo say we have
improved every opportunity it afforded ns,
or shall we, weeping over the past that
can never return, in mournful sadness say,
“It is gone ! Jt is gone I”
Tax, the Old Year is gone; it's events
lire recorded and sealed -no new trials, no
reinvesitigutions, no changes can bo made. I
It is God's record; his Angel has written
it. Many events, perhaps, if an angel can
weep, ih blotted with tears of pity. “It is
gone I” Tho bright sun mid the pale
moon will shine on it no more. Its pros
perities and disasters, its storms and culms,
its pleasures and pains, its joys and sor
rows, were till foi led in tho dark drapery
of the noon of night, and “it is gone.”
In it our loved ones pa, s ,1 away, and
“they arc gone.” Tho melodies we heard
then are hushed into silence, and the
songsters are gone. Tho flower# that
bloomed then liavo faded, and their fra
grance is wasted and gone. Lurid flumes
have been extinguished, and nothing of
the Old Year remains but its ember:;, to
torture memory.

AGAINST THE CONVENTION.
The following is an extract from the
Grand Jury Presentments of Gwinnett
county, made last w eek. It is sensible and
to the point:
“The subject of tlio calling of a State
Convention to revise our State Constitu
tion is engaging the attention of the pies;
and people ill some .sections of the State.
While we arc free to confess that .some
amendments to Hiat iuetmincnt •'< necei;-
sai-y, yet inasmuch as these amendments
can be made by the Legislature in the
discharge of their legitimate duties, w.t
think a convention of the people nt the
present is uncalled for and impolitic. ‘The
homestead' is too largo and we think
should be modified, and several otlnr
amendments probably should 1 amide, but
it iin the power of tlie Legislature to
make these amendments without the in
tervention of a e mvi ntion of the people.
Under our present organic law our people
arc prospering, and are as well protected
in their per .eu and property as at any pe
riod of our history, it we* a maxim of
our fathers ‘lo tinie r ns little as possible
with Constitutions,’ and they were ns wise
and far-seeing and us patriotic as their de
seeudents, and it is not unsafe to follow
their counsel*. The expense of a conven
tion, which, in our opinion, there is no
immediate n:eessity for. would add to mil
already heavy bill then of taxation, without
any corresponding benefit.
Governor Sam Third took tho Kimball
House by storm last Saturday, and told the
people how much he loved Grant ami Dun
ning, and afterword sent n marked copy of
the daily papers to Ulysses in order tlmt
the lntt r might know how good n friend
he had in Saumel.
Hmn is a creature of circumstances.
Three years ago we heard him in a speech,
from the balcony of the National Hotel,
denounce Grant as a fraud and the Re
publican party its having so degenerated
that h' could no longer remain a member.
But, like the dog, he him gone back io his
vomit; mid. like the old blue sow,returned
to tin 1 wallow ia the mire.
It was Platt l’v him, of Cincinnati, who
taught hia friends how to buy tender
geese, but he could not always get them
ill maikct. One morning he saw n lot and
inquired of the farmer how many there
were. “About n dozen," was the replv,
"W-w well,” raid Platt, “I k-k-kivp b-b
--lioarding-hou.se, and my b-b-b. unders are
the dnrndest e-e-eaters you over s-s-saw.
P-p-piek me out nil-nine of the t-t-tough
est you've g-grgnt.” The farmer com-1
plied, and he'd aside the other three ten- j
der ones. Platt picked them up carefully, 1
and puttin'*thorn into hisbnskut. said: “1
