GEORGIA, W KLY OPINION. THE WF.F.KT.Y OPINION. “Relief” Aom*—We give pleee tJile evening to another short communication on the iubject of Relief. It I* the upper most topic of the hour. It l* * aubject in which the people are directly interested*— Its advocates are represented in all factions. It stands independent of all political par ties. It Is questionable whether there lias ever been any one issue upon which the masses, independent, of partisan leaders, have been so united. This being the case, the Convention now In session cannot af ford to disregard it. The members thereof must take i>ositlon—must act upon tills all- absorbing Issue, There is one feature in this discussion which cannot have escaped the observation of the reading public. Those public jour nal which have rei>eatediy declared their purpose to oppose any Constitution which the Convention may adopt, arc especially interested on the question of Relief. They well understand public sentiment on this point, and their great solicitude now is to deter the Convention from <jranting relief. Relief, like the ghost of Banquo, will not down at their bidding. And since it is a strong measure with the People, they dread its adoption by tho Reconstruction party. They well know that If the Con vention manifests a disposition to re lieve the people, tho people will ratify the new Constitution. Their purpose Is unmltakable. “ Relief” is a hobby which they themselves want; and they now see their mistake in not tak ing position upon that point in the Macon Convention. If, however, tho Constitu tional Convention can be brow-beaten or hoodwinked out of it, tho Opposition takes it up. This is the programme. Mark the prediction. The signs are unmistakable. But In considering measures of relief, we hope no hasty, revolutionary, or illegal scheme will be urged, much less adopted. The p an, whatever it may be, should be based upon Equity and Justice. Jxo. M. Daniel.—Of John M. Daniel the former editor of the Richmond Examiner, Dr. Bagby says: He was not a fop but lie was fond of dress, and had an eye to ap pearance, not only in person but in print, lie had a horror of all slovenliness. A careless written editorial was his abomina tion. lie used to say that a man who goes into print ought to remember that he is making his appearance before the verj best society, and that he owes it both to himself and to that society not to appear in undress. Disgusting.—From tho manner in which c .tin papers in the interest of botli po ll 11 parties in Alabama, arc carrying the discussion, one would suppose that State to be inhabited by a community of lisli women. Do such conduits of obsceni ty and abuse ever llnd their way to the Jiresldo of a res|>ectable family ? >Ve have papers of the same calibre in this State, but their circulation is generally confined to low groggcrles and to the haunts of vice. Military Titles.—A Mr. McCardle, (or Caudle,) a wild irishman connected with a Mississippi paper, was arrsted and lodged in jail (very unjustly no doubt) by Gene ral Ord, on account of something which McCardle published in his-paper. Since his incarceration, he has become a “Colo nel and very recently we observe that he has been made a fall “General.” Having attained to the Ugliest rank in the profes sion of arms, we suggest that lie now be restored to Ids liberty. A Slight Contjudicton.—“Negro su premacy” is the favorite cant of a class of men represented by the Macon Con vention. Tliey oppose Reconstruction, because tliey affect to fear “negro su premacy.” And yet these men declare, as ex-Brlgadler General Wright did at Macon, that the “Conservatives” “are able to vote down any Constitution that the Radicals and niggers may make!” Either they arc insincere In -their appre hensions of “negro supremacy,” or‘else they assert what they do not believe whpn they assert their ability to “vote down” thd Constitution. 1 V . .

FIFTH DAY# ■ Friday# Dec. lfc 1967. Convention met punuant to adjournment. Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal readi and after unimportant correction* was adopted. Mr. AKERMAN row to move a recon sideration of tho action of the House on tho ordinance of Relief, passed yesterday, hut gave way to Mr. Dunning, who intro duced the following: Resolved, That tho Secretary of this Convention be authorized and instructed to furnish the necessary stationery, and appoint such clerks as he may require for the efficient discharge of Ids duties. Mr.WJIlTELY objected to the passage of tho resolution. The tendency of Ikjuio* eratic governments was to create ofllcca; he wanted no more, in the present depleted condition of the public treasury, than was actually necessary. He proposed that an Enrolling Clerk would be sufficient at pres ent. Mr. WADDEL moved that the resolution be so amended as to allow the Secretary to appoint a sufllclent number of clerks, not exceeding seven. The amendment pre vailed and the resolution as amended, was adopted. Mr. AKERMAN rose and addressed the Convention at length In support of his motion to reconsider the vote on tho pass age of the Relief Ordinance. He was op posed to the ordinance in its present shape. He desired that relief for the present should be limited to the features of the stay law of 1866. If the motion to reconsider prevailed, he would propose an amendment, which he read. Mr. BRADLEY opposed the motion to reconsider Officers, he said, would not levy uiK)n destructible property, when tliey could not sell. It would not be their interest to do so—they would not do so.— The laws of the old Legislature, and the decisions of the Supreme Court are not au thority for this Convention. Mr. AKERMAN replied briefly “r. Bradley, he said, was mistaken. Tb no law- in Georgia to require pla give bonds to sheriffs, before lev some States such laws existed. Jle . not discuss tlie legnllty of the action ol old Legislature, or tho binding opciation of judicial decisions. Mr. IIOPKINS hoped the motion to re consider would not prevail. The people of the State were suffering—the masses were at the mercy of the few—hordes of officers were obeying the orders of tho Shylocks who have bought up claims nt 10 cents the dollar, by sacrificing the possessions of the producers. But few would lose by the operation of the law, and these were such as could afford to wait as contemplated by the ordinance. At the same time thous ands would be temporarily relieved, Mr. HOLCOMB ndvocated reconsidera tion. The ordinance as it was passed, would work to the injury of the poor only. He had observed its effects in this city. The laborers were feeling it already, and would continue to feel it. Public ami pri- iite credit would be destroyed at home and abroad. Mr. STANFORD, of Harris, favored the reconsideration. He regarded the ordi nance as revolutionary. It would destroy, unless amended, the little credit that has been built up. Mr. BRYANT opposed the measure. The laboring classes would not be affected by tlie operation of the ordinance unfa vorably. On tlie contrary, it would protect them, it would prevent the property of ployers from being sacrificed, at present, and until an equitable relief law can be passed. He moved to lay tlie motion on the table, but at request he withdrew tlie motion, when Mr. SAFFOL1) rose and urged that the ordinance was passed in an inconsiderate manner; that its effect upon the business, and credit, uud good faith of the State, ould be ruinous. Mr. BULLOCK denied that the ordi nance would uot- operate to prevent tho lionest man from paying Iris debt*. He did not desire to prevent the ultimate collec tion of debts, except such as might he In terdicted by a well digested relief law, w hich would be passed af early as possible. To prevent, immediate sacrifice.*, was hi/ only object hi introducing the ordinance, nml he should opixwo *a reconsideration of tin* vote bv which it was parsed. Mr. BLOUNT claimed to bo an old Lampion of relief, his soul was hi tjic vork. but lie could not sustain such a weeping measure.,' Its legitimate opera tor!. Ire claimed* would lead men to acts of hap* than It would a majority < white population. Mr. DUNNING stiff there was no relief; In the true sense of tlie won!, In the ordin ance. It only postponed for a time what must be ultimately met. If ttmo was al- lowed, or tills ordinance was sustained# the Convention would, lie thought* in due time pass as equitable and favorable a bill for relief as tlie Constitution and laws of the Uni ed States would sanction. Mr. A81IBUUN opposed reconsideration, The courts and officers of the State were ready to seize two-thirds Of the property of tlie State. To prevent tlie sacrifices that would ensue is the only purpose of tlie ordinance. So far as the laborer Is con cerned lie would not be affected. The laws of tlie United States protected him, and created liens upon the crops and stock of tlie employer, to secure tlie payment of the employee, Air. BLODGETT gave tho reason for the introduction of tlie ordinance, and for his action in moving tlie previous question, The Supreme Court had just decided tlie Stay Law unconstitutional, and tlie object was to give the people time* and an assur ance that relief would be perfected by this Contention.

[During tlie debate, Mr. BLODGETT said, that to obviate some of tlie objections made to the bilk he would, if permitted, move a proviso to the hill, hut this lie could not do at this time. The contempla ted proposition, which was read, was as follows: “Provided, that tills ordinance shall not apply to persons about to reinov TELEGRAPHIC^INTELLIGENCE From the New York Press Association. Congressional# Washington, Dec. 11*—Senate.—A peti tion Worn an immense number of natural' ized citizen* complaining of grievance* and asking that their rights be defined by Congress, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Anthony Introduced a bill declaring null all confiscation and forfeiture acts by the rebel Legislatures, which was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

A discussion ensued, during^which Mr. McCulloch was charged w ith illegally dis posing of several hundred thousand dol lars, and the bill was postponed The adjournment resolution of the House, from the 20th instant to the Gth proximo, came up, but Mr. Sumner objecting, it 11 over. Mr. Sumner presented a memorial from Gen. Rlsben and thirty thousand negroe* containing allegations which Mr. Davis pronounced foul and mendacious libels on Kentucky. The memorial was referred. Mr. Morrill's bill to raise legal tenders to par came up. Mr. Morrill delivered an elaborate speech. After an Executive session, the Senate adjourned. Route.—1Several members rose to person al explanations, explaining their votes in favor of impeachment, in which the Presi dent was soundly abused. The Judiciary Committee reported back the bill in relation to tlie government of the rebel State* and it was referred to the Reconstruction Committee. The Committee on Military Affairs re ported adversely to paying tlie army weekly. The Committee on Claims reported ad versely on the petition of citizens of Chatnbersburg for compensation for dam ages done by McCausland’s raiders. The House w*ent into Committee on tlie state of tlie Union. Mr. Washburne opposed Seward’s terri torial purchases. A general debate ensued and tlie House adjourned. The testimony before tlie Southern Rail road Committee is voluminous. Among other tilings it shows that tlie roads were freely used by tlie Confederates without objection on tlie part of the Presidents and Directors. Tlie service was freely rendered. A letter from Gen. Grant to the Chairman states that tlie total appraised value of property sold was seven millions four hundred and fifty-six thousand dol lars. Total payments lo November 1st, from tlie State, or has absconded, is ab-* ^ ,rce million four hundred and fifty-nine seonding, lias removed, or is removing III* or her, property from tlie State.”] Tiic next business in order being the resolutions relating to tlie tax on cotton.

That tlie Convention do commend the repeal of tlie cotton tax, and if practicable, the application of tlie re peal to the present crop. Resolved, That the Convention considers its repeal as essential to tlie continued suc cessful cultivation of cotton as tho great staple of the country and as a measure of relief to Iwth agricultural capital and labor. Resolved. That the Convention having confidence in tlie earnest desire of the Gov ernment of tlie United States to aid in re storing the prosperity of the people of Georgia, and tlie development of all her material interests, do hereby request tlie President of the Convention to forward a certified copy of these resolutions to the President of the United States, tlie Presi dent of tlie Semite, nnd the Speaker of the Jlonse of Ronmewtaitive* with a rc- illicit that they be presented mt- an aarjy day to both Houses of Congress; The Delegates'then proceeded to select* th6 priority of^ selection being. de- tfermlnid by drawing.

That in the opinion of tills Council, the said Constitution is an infamous fraud upon the rights of the people of this State, and will, if ratified. Inevitably result in the debasement of the white race and destruc tion of tlie black. ✓ 2. That we cannot, consistently with our obligations.as members of tlie Union Loyal League of America, give.aid or support in any manner whatever to this nefarious scheme to destroy at one fell swoop the peace, happiness and prosperity for all time to conic, of the whole people of the State of Alabama. 3. That we, as Union Republicans and as members of the Montgomery Council, Union League of America, call on all law- abiding and l -m-loviug colored men of Alabama to tiime with us in our efforts to defeat the adoption of this Constitution, which embodies principles dangerous to constitutional liberty, promotive of civil war between tlie two race* and destructive of all tlie ends of good government. 4.

Tlie sixth declares that the peopleof Vir ginia will co-operate with all men through out tlie Union, of whatever name or party, who will labor to restore a constitutional union of the States, and contiutie its gov ernment under the control of tlie white race. A resolution was adopted authorizing tho Central Committee to take steps testing the constitutionality of tlie Reconstruction acts in the United States Supreme Court. In the discussion of this resolution Gen. Imboden, who had sued out a matidamus against Gen. Schofield, stated that his case, with similar ones relative to suffrage In Alabama and Mississippi, would be carried to tbe Supreme Court. A resolution that the object of the Con vention was to organize a “ white man’s party,” and no subjects foreign to this should be discussed, was laid on the table. The President was authorized to appoint a committee to prepare an address to the people of Virginia and the United State* and the Convention adjourned nine die. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 12.— Senate.— Mr. Sherman reported tho House bill repealing the cotton tax. It will be considered to morrow. The bill coverting the proceeds of cap tured and abandoned property into tlie treasury was resumed. Mr. Fessenden said it amounted to thir ty-five million* blit opposed the bill. There are claims now pending in the Court of Claims for twenty million dollars’ worth of tills property, to whom tlie bill would work injustice. Postponed. Tlie joint resolution censuring the Presi dent, was resumed, Johnson having tlie floor. Tlie Senate refused concurrence in tlie House resolution to adjourn. The bill striking “white” from the Dis trict laws becomes a law. Tlie committee reported tlie cotton tax bill without amendment. It will probably pass to-morrow. After a Executive session the Senate ad journed. House.—Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, offered a bill relating to the Freed men’s Burean.— Referred to the Committee on Freednien’s Affairs.

Mr. Sclienck made a point of order that, under the Constitution, no distinction should be made. Tlie speaker said tlie point was well taken. A resolution was adopted urging a re duction of tlie army to tlie smallest possi ble limit. The Ways and Means Committee was di rected to inquire into the expediency of de stroying spirits seized for frauds, and re- ing the income tax from incomes not exceeding 82,500.
