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 among themselves tho best timo and place for holding the Democrats National Con vention. Somo favor Boston, in view of the lato elections there. Baltimore, St. Louis und Philadelphia are spoken of. Tho Convention will bo hold, It !• thought, very soon after tho 20th of May. Antiquity Modernized.—We learn from tho St. Augustine (Fla.) Examiner, that 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 dianapolis on the 8tb of January. If elected, ho will resign tho Governorship and be re-elected to tho Senate. Efforts arc being made to get up a big Convention. fST The number of hogs received in Chicago thus far this season, has been 707,- ‘22ft, of which number 455,241 liavo been packed, against 233,210 received, and 101.000 packed for the corresponding period last year.

Under present laws the Gov ernor lias a discretion to suspend the col lection of taxes for a limited time, and the committee desire that this discretion be now exercised sd us to accommodate the tax payer, If it can be done without injury to public interest.
