GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION.
THE WEEKLY OPINION.
TIIE REIGN 07 CLIQUE#.
It was Intimated by the Opinion several
w eeks since, that a scheme had been organ
ized whereby the State Constitutional Con
vention w as to Iks turned into a gambling
party for the benefit of a certain clique
therein represented. We gave warning at
the time, that unless this schema should be
abandoned, u c would expose the miniitkc
of the whole affair, and wo now repeat the
admonition.
The People of Georgia did not elect del
egates to a State Constitutional Convention
In order that the pockets of certain indi
vhlua’s might i>e tilled, nor Is It an assem
blage for the election of a U. S. Senator.
It is a body chosen to frame a Constitution
in accordance with the requirements of the
Reconstruction law*. Coalitions between
certain parties In the Northern portion of
the State who have political aspirations,
and a clique in the Southern portion of the
State who seek to line their pockets, have
been formed and defeated. Other combi
nations, now in process of formation, look
ing to the same ends, had better 1x5 aban
doned. They will sink the parties impli
cated *o low that no resurrection can ever
reach them. The exposure of this whole
trick is certain to be made some day. and
then woe unto those men who have partic
ipated in this disgusting scramble.
Where men cease to act from Principle,
and resort to expediency and bargain mak
ing in politics, they simply become con
temptible. They forfeit the respect and
contidcnce of honest men of all parties.
Such men arc found in all political organi
zations, and the reconstruction party of
Georgia has its share.
These men have acted, by turns, with all
parties. They have no principles. They
care nothing for either the party or the
State, further than both may 1x5 made sub
servient to their personal gain; and the
sooner their correct status is known, the
better for all concerned.
Once more we say, that unless a certain
clique in that Convention shall abandon
Its schemes of plunder, and address itself
to the legitimate work of that body, the
people of Georgia shall know' who it Is that
is thus retarding the work of reconstruc
tion. _
Ml*, ('llASK AND TUB PRESIDENCY.—
As announced In the Opinion yesterday
tho caucus of the Republican members of
tho Convention, held night before last, at
w’hiclt there wero more than eighty mem
bers present, passed a resolution with but
two dissenting voices, proclaiming their
preference for Chief Justice Ciiask for the
Presidency in 1808. This resolution was
introduced by f’ol. Hkniiy P. Farrow, and
advocated by him in a most happy man
ner hi a brief but (whited and Impressive
speech. It was eiitliiisi istically received
and passed with but two ills sen ting voices.
Last night the caucus inot again, with
more than ninety members present. Alter
attending to other Imsiuee.s resolutions
wero introduced declaring that the resolu
tion introduced the evening previous by
Col. Farrow', and passed by the caucus,
did not express the sentiment of tie* Re
publican members of the Convention then
fn caucus,and that U. S. Grant was their
preference for the President. Instantly
voices wer«* heard over the hall. ••No,”
**I»o,” and a motion being made to table the
resolution. teas otrrW mill» l»u the die-
ttnling void*.
Thus we ha\e am tlior demount atlve In
dication of the preference of the Republi
can Party of Georgia for Chief Justice
Chase. Still there are person* who have
nicthcr consistency nor Influence, who pre
tend to have every tiling their own way for
Grant. There is no mistakin j where the
“ground-swell” i*. We will endeavor to
procure a copy of the resolution voted
down last night, ami present it to our
readers.
qrriio Democratic politicians and Con
gressmen, at Washington, are discussing

Antiquity Modernized.—We learn from

after three hundred years existence, that
Ancient City Is at length able to commu
nicate with the outside world by telegraph,
tbo wires having reached that place from
Jacksonville, and will aoon be in active
•operation. Our cotemporary says all they
want now to bring them up with full dig
nity of a city la a railroad.
VSenator Hendricks, It Is said, will be
nominated for Governor of Indiana by the
Democratic Convention to be held In In
