Speaking To-Nigiit.—In compliance
with the expressed wishes of a large portion
of our citizens of this city, and of the mem-
liers of the Constitutional Convention, the
lion. JosnuA IIii.l will deliver an ad
dress this evening at the City Hall, com-
m >nci ng at 7 o'clock.
A large attendance is anticipated.
Thf. Congressional Districts or Geor
gia.—A convenient table for reference,
headed Georgia Congressional Districts,
will be found in another column. It gives
the names of the counties composing each
of the seven Districts, and the representa
tive population of each district, as deter
mined under the constitutional rule that
controlled in 18G0.
Correction.—Our report of the resolu
tion by Mr. Burnett, yesterday, should
have stated tluit after some discussion, It
was withdrawn by that gentleman. And
in another point the reporter erred In
naming Mr. McCoy as replying to Mr.
Caldwell. It should have read Mr. Aker-
max.
The Gubernatorial Question.—By re
ference to our reports of to-day's proceed'
ings of the Convention it will be seen that
the question of petitioning Gen. Pope to
appoint a Provisional Governor who will
assist in the work of reconstruction has
been carried by a decided majority. The
debate was an able and lengthy one—com
paring favorably with any we have ever
heard in the legislative halls of the State.
Almost the whole session was consumed in
the debate. At the close both sides came
to a fair and final struggle upon the main
is«ue, with the result announced elsewhere.
The Convention and Mr. Chase—Cau
cus Meeting Last Night.—At a caucus
of the Republican memlwjrs of the Consti
tutional Convention, held last night at the
City llall. the following resolution was
adopted with but one dissenting voice,
there being about eighty delegates present:
“ Resolved. That we, the Republican
members of the Georgia Constitutional
Convention, and citizens of the State of
Georgia, do hereby express our high admi
ration for the eminent statesmanship of
Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, and ex
press our most implicit confidence in his
fidelity to all the principles of equal jus
tice embodied in the platform and adorn
ing the triumphant history of the Repub
lican party; and we furthermore take this
method of declaring to the world our hope
that the American people will, at the com
ing Presidential election, transfer Mr.
Chase from the head of the Judicial to the
head of the Executive Department of our
tiovernment, with assurances, however,
that we will cheerfully support the nomi
uce of the party whomsoever ho may be.'
The State Load.—A rumor being cur
rent in Chattanooga Monday of a proba
ble change in the management of the W
and A. Rail Road, the Union of that city
says:
We sincerly hope that this report will
prove incorrect. No better road than the
State Road exists in the South. Under the
masterly management of Campbell Wal
lace, its' fame has been so widely diffused
that every traveler in the laud knows of
the quick time, the smooth traveling and
courteous officials of the Western and At
lantic Railroad, and its stockholders are
semi-annnally reminded by their premiums
that its management is of the best.
We presume there is no reliable founda
tion for the rumor to which the Union re
fers. If ability, efficiency and integrity
are among the requisites for superinten-
dant of that Road, we do not see how Maj*
Wallace’s place could be better filled.
Supreme Court of Georgia.—The Re
corder, of the 17th, says:
It Is understood that the Court, for the
accommodation of the members of the Bar
engaged in cases from many of the Circuits
which have not yet been reached on the
Calendar, will take a recess from Friday
night next until Thursday after the first
Monday in January. 1868. The Court meets
daily at 9 o'clock, a. m., hears argument
until half-post 1, resumes at 3 and hears
argument until oandle-light. Every Mon
day «nd six nights of the week are devoted
to the examination and decision of cases.
As yet very few annunciations of points
have been made. One of these is in accord
with the United States Supreme Court, that
greenbacks are a legal tender. , >
pg* A hill will soon be introduced, it fas
said, reorganizing the Patent Office, abo
lishing the oflice of Commissioner, and in
vesting the power confided in him in a
board of commissioners to be appointed by
the President, similar to the method pre
vailing in France and England. From this
board of commissioners there is to he no
appeal, except to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
THI TBUS ABO TEA fiUI
In pasaing the stratfthe other day we
caught a glimpse, at different points, of
two reigning belles, whose characters are
so opposite, that they “paint a moral and
adorn a tale.”
The first, a beautiful creature, gay frivo
lous, and mercurial in temper, like the but
terfly in spring, delights more in personal
display, than in those excellencies which
give to womanhood its real charm. Fasci
nating in form and feature, she has studied
w ell the art of pleasing. Mo wonder, with
all her personal attractions, that society
should accord to her the crown of a reign
ing belle. In her girlhood favored by for
tune, the highest advantages of education
and society were hers. Yielding, however,
to the fascinations of display, the grace of
person was fostered to the neglect of mind
and heart. Ignoring the true mission of
of her sex, her life has been given to the
vanities of the world. Her estimate of self
fails to embrace the beauties of the mind
in tbeir truthful development of the inner
life, nor in her sympathies and affections
so much in common with humanity, as
with the tinsel trappings ctf display. At
the social party, the ball, the theater, and
on the street, she is an object of attraction,
basking in the sunshine of admiring eyes,
with honied sentences of empty nothing
ness whispered into her ears by a score of
votive tongues. Graceful in every step,
she is a walking poem in the symmetry of
form. But, with all her native charm, and
the fascination of a well studied art,
through which she creates s palpitating
sensation in the world, she is yet lacking
in the true claims of woman to the queen-
ship of society.
The second, unrivalled In the beautiful
perfection of face and form, and in her
youth possessed of wealth, was educated
in that school of accomplishment which
educes from mind and heart the wealth of
latent intellect and the graee of refining
sentiment. \f ith a mind rarely endowed
and adorned by carefill culture, she is more
deeeply versed in a knowledge of the
world, in literature, science, history and
philosophy, than in the frivolous arts and
and caprices of society. Seldom seen at
the theater, her seat Is rarely vacant at the
church. At social parties—in society, she
is the focus of thought and wM. Books
are her themes, and learning her discourse
As the light of the stars the scintillations
of her thoughts, whilst her conversation
holds with a spell of enchantment the at
tention of her admirers. The butterflies
of ftuhion swarm about her, but the light
of her presence eclipses their flickering
wings. She dwells in an atmosphere of
roses, sweetened by the breath of her own
inspirations. Her mind is a casket of jew
els culled from the sea of thought, and her
heart the home of all beautlfiil and holy
affections. Her life is a feast at the fonn
tain of Truth made brigher by the reflec
tion of her image in its crystal depths. She
makes no noise in the world. Display is
as distasteful to her as the vanity In which
it is conceived. With a true appreciation
of womanhood, it is to her a rational
thought—the guardian spirit of humanity
Her distinguishing trait is purity of char
acter, her thoughts and feelings the emana
tlons of goodness and love.
Her life is a sanctuary by angels guarded
against the ingress of unhallowed guests,
with each thought and sentiment pure and
spotless as the Alpine snow. In these ex
treines the world with its usually false
estimate of true character, recognizes
what it is pleased to term the true
queens of society. And, yet, how strange
a paradox do they present! The one
is all mind, the other aU matter. The
one a perennial spring blossom, the other
a sentimental flower. The one a bright
star, the other a pale glow worm. The one
a model of true womanhood, the other
polished counterfeit. The one “ of the
earth, earthy,” the other counterpart of
Heaven
Convention met at regular hour; prayer
by Rev. Wesley Prettyman; journal of
yesterday read and approved, f
The unfinished business of yesterday—
the gubernatorial resolution Of 1ft: Cald
well—was resumed, Mr. BRADLEY hav
ing the floor. He resumed his argument
in substance to the effect that Qovi Jenkins
had not been asked to continue in office—
he was, under the reconstruction lavs, dis
qualified, inasmuch as he could not take
the test oath. All officers who could not
take this oath held their positions illegally,
in violation of the constitution and laws of
the United States. Not only thte—many
of the provisional officials had labored dil
igently to defeat the work of reconstruc
tion, the purpose for which this Conven
tion was called. .
Mr. SAFFOLD rose to a point of order,
The resolutions of Mr. Caldwell were, he
claimed, not proper matter 1 for considera
tion, under the resolution reported from the
committee of ten, and adopted yesterday.
The CHAIRMAN ruled the resolutions
proper matter for consideration; w hen Mr.
BRADLEY resumed and continued his
remarks at‘ some length. *
Mr. BLODGETT referied to the past
political course of Gov. J., which he con
demned so far as connected with the histo
ry of Georgia during and since the war.
The Provisional Governorhad opposed, in
the courts, as the last res>rt. the laws ol
Reconstruction, and had jemained passive
after defeat. The friends of Reconstruc
tion wanted a Governor who would aid
and assist them. Such a nan was named
bj r the resolution under caisideration, and
inasmnch as it was only ^commendatory,
and could not control the action of Gen
eral Pope, he hoped the tesolution would
pass.
Mr.
iBO “
GIA STATE CONVENT}
eighth day.
Wednesday, Dec. 18
Good Hits.—The Tribune, of the 14th
has a few admirable hits. Here Is one for
Americans to consider:
The Hon. Anson Burlingame, United
States Minister in China, is soon to leave
Pekin for the United States on a special
mission for the Chinese Government. As
the ruler of the Celestial Empire has much
land and little money, we should not won
der if Mr. Burlingame had been commis
sioned to offer some real estate for sale.
A second possibly reflects upon some
body else. We quote:
It is rumored, but we trust without any
authority, that a horrible plot has been
discovered on the part of the Fenians to
kidnap Queen Victoria while visiting the
sanctuary of the late very much lamented
Prince Albert, and shipping her on board
a gunboat for Abyssinia, where that fero
cious savage could have carried out at his
leisure his intention to compel her to mar
ry him. The plot, however, seems to have
been discovered in season, and the queen
only visits the aforesaid sanctuary at pres
ent under the protection of a regiment of
cavalry.
The Chattanooga Murder.—Mrs. Rog
ers, the woman who was assaulted by her
husband, in Chattanooga, last Saturday
night, died on Sunday morning. The
Union, of yesterday, says:
The murderer has./ been arrested and
placed in confinement. He was taken ont
on Sunday morning, at his earnest request,
to view the corpse, but seemed so over
whelmed with remorse, when In the pres
ence of his murdered wife, that he quickly
desired to be returned to prison. He is
named William Rogers, and is believed to
belong to Acton, Ga.
The receipts from internal revenue
to-day were $405,968^2, making the total
amount for the week ending to-day $2,253.-
906,82, and the total since the begining of
the present fiscal year $04,047^84^6.
The Baltimore American of the 14th
says: It is rumored that Governor Swann,
Comptroller Leonard and Treasurer Fow
ler—the Board of Public Works of Mary
land—have disposed of all the State s in
terest in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
excepting in the Washington branch, to
the railroad company, In exchange for
State bonds.
PARROTT—Judge Harris in the
Chair—said this was an ^nportant ques
tion, when considered in ronneetion with
Reconstruction. He objected to the course
of Governor Jenkins in relation to the
conscription laws, and to kia course since
the war with regard to restoration. But
he was not prepared to vote for the resolu
tion. He was willing to tryst this and kin
dred questions to the Geserai command
ing, which officer he defended from charges
made upon the floor. Gen. Pope had stood
by Georgia, was earnest inalding the work
of Reconstruction, and Ms past conduct
was sufficient guarante* for the future:
and hereafter, as now, tfie people of this
commonwealth would hive cause to com
mend his official conduct. Mr. Parrott
concluded by moving to postpone the
ftirther consideration to January 8,1868.
Mr. DUNNING opposed the resolution.
He eould see the secret springs that
prompted the contemplated action, and did
not believe honesty impelled the active
outside influences working so vigilantly
to carry the proposition.
Mr. BRYANT favored the resolution at
length, replying to the arguments of gen
tlemen in opposition. lie wanted some
one at the head of public affairs tpho would
stand by the reconstruction party in the
canvass that would inevitably ensue upon
the question of ratification. This was not
done by Gov. Jenkins anJ ciyjl officers
generally, during the late canvass; but it
would be done in the next canvass, if the
gentleman named in the resolution should
be accepted by Gen. Pope. Mr. Bullock,
he said, was no party hack, but was and
had been a Union man, a Mend of Georgia
and her people, and would devote the best
energies of a long and active experience to
the advancement of their Interests.
Mr. SAFFOLD thought’much was made
sometimes by people attending to their
own business, and he dii not think this
Convention w'as. by any means, engaged
in a legitimate work, should it pass this
resolution. He represented one of the ne
gro districts of the State—himself and col
leagues did not receive more than 75 white
votes—they were Georgians by birth and
interest, and as sucii were sent up here by
a large negro constituency to make a Con
stitution, and not to make Governors.
There was nothing in the Reconstruction
laws that devolved any duty upon this
Convention beyond preparing a Constitu
tion. General Pope would attend to eve
rything necessary to advance Reconstruc
tion, and he was willing to trust the
matter with him. By doing too much the
Convention might endanger all, and being
a Union man he should oppose this and
other resolutions. Let this Convention do
its business as well as General Pope has
done his, and all will be well.
Mr. PRINCE regretted that gentlemen
boasted ot their place of birth. As an off
set, he would say that he was born in New
England, but had adopted Georgia as his
home. He was here to do all in his power
for Georgia and his constituents. He un
derstood the wishes of those who had sent
him here, and one of their wishes was the
removal of all obstacles to the advance of
Reconstruction. Governor Jenkins was
one of these, and he should be removed,
and a man put in Ids place who would
eompel the civil officers to protect loyal
men, which was not now tlie case, as was
daily being demonstrated.
Mr. HOLCOMB was cm posed to the in
troduction of party tactics into this Con
vention. If this was avoided the work
would soon be dond and ddne well. Keep
ont firebrands, and all will oe well. The
people of Georgia are in favor of restora
tion—true they differ as to the best means
to be pursued. Keep down party spirit,
and eschew scrambling for office, and Geor
gia will soon resume her old place. Gen.
Pope W’as the instrument of the United
States Government—he was here to pre
serve peace and order—had called this Con
vention, and delegates were here to fulfill
their portion of the duties assigned them
by the laws of Congress. He wanted the
Convention to do nothing more, and would
vote against the resolution.
Mr. McCOY spoke in opposition to the
resolution. He believed office AekinMWas
the great curse of the country^ and «uld
see in this proposition that a strong fffort
was being made to continue the evil.
Especially, he said, should a scramble for
office, for p&rtiz&n purposes, be condei
Gov. Jenkins could not retard the
reconstruction, as he could not direct the
action of a half dozen officers in the State.
He believed the key-note of this move
ment was something else—the question of
aiding the work of reconstruction was a
subterfuge to veil efforts to get charge of
the offices and emolnments of the State
road. He also claimed that Gen. Pope
did not dare remove Gov. J. unless he was
an obstruction to reconstruction, and that
point Gen. Pope must decide himself; and
this Convention could not be his con
science keeper.
Mr. CALDWELL wanted to make a
proposition In connection with his resolu
tion that would remove all the objections
that had been made. He cared nothing for
men, cliques, or this or that wing of the
Convention, but the great prize or measure
he had in his heart was restoration. He
knew personally but little of Mr. Bullock,
but learned that he was a gentleman of
ability and Integrity, whose name he pre
sented without much consultation. He
would drop the name, however, and let the
Convention decide upon the principle of
his resolution; if favorable they could then
decide upon the man—and if it was found
that Col. Bullock was not the right
man, select another to recommend to
Gen. Pope. He hurled back the charge
that he was influenced by the pride and
power of office in his action. He only
wanted, the principle sustained—did not
desire to command Gen. Pope, simply to
request him to change the chief magistra
cy. He moved to adjourn until 10 o’clock
to-morrow, which motion was lost.
Mr. TRAMMELL rose to correct an as
sertion that had been made. It had been
asserted that no Union or colored man
could be employed on the Western and At
lantic Railroad. It was not true, ne knew
two-thirds of the employees, many of them,
in all positions, had served in the Union
army; nine-tenths of them had voted for
Reconstruction. The officer at the head of
the road was an earnest friend of the great
cause in which we are engaged, and it was
a fact that upon entering upon the dis
charge of the duties of the office, the pres
sure upon him to remove men for opinion’s
sake was so strong, that he found it neces
sary to publish a letter on the subject. He
made this correction for the purpose of
doin justice to a patriotic and honorable
citizen and an efficient officer.!
Mr. BLODGETT moved the previous
question, which was sustained, and a vote
on the question of postponing to January
8th, was ordered; which being by a call of
the yeas and nays resulted—yeas 77;
nays 78.
A motion to adjourn was lost bn divis
ion—yeas 48; nays 71.
A division of the question was called for,
and a vote was uften bn that portion of
the original proposition, which reads as
follows:
We the representatives of that majority
are now striving to overcome the obstacles
in the path of restoration to civil law, and
therefore respectfully petition the General
commanding this District that a Provis
ional Governor be appointed who will
assist in this great work.
Upon this question the yeas and nays
were demanded and taken, as foHows:

The Alabama Constitution.—Com
menting upon the Constitution prepared
by the State Convention of Alabama, the
New York Tribune says:
None in any of the Free States is more
nobly dedicated to the principles of uni
versal freedom and equal rights. Already
the clause relating to suff rage, however,
has been subjected to some unfriendly
criticism. Neither Congress nor the Con
vention has seen fit to carry out the recon
struction policy of the Tribune, which
has been and still is in favor of Uni
versal Amnesty and Impartial Suffrage.
Had the generous policy of universal am
nesty been adopted, a much larger white
vote in favor of reconstruction on the basis
of impartial suffrage would have been
polled in every Southern State than can
now he polled for any constitution that
may be framed under the proscriptions in
cident to the Congressional policy.
The people of the South would now unite
with Mr. Greeley, or an}’ one else, on the
Platferm of “Universal Amnesty and Im
partial Suffrage.” A State Constitution
for Georgia, based upon that Principle
would meet with but very feeble opposi
tion in Georgia. But the law of Congress,
known as the “Military Reconstruction
Act” renders that scheme impracticable.
Reconstruction must be accomplished ac
cording to terms imposed by the Law, un
less Congress shall yet make such a modi
fication as will enable the people to carry
out their wishes in this particular.
Financial.—The amount of securities
held by the Treasurer of the United States
in trust for National Banks, reported on
the 14th, was as follows: For circulating
notes, $341,107,750; for deposits of public
moneys, $37,917,950; total $379,025,700.
The New Yore Post on the Alabama
Convention.—Commenting on the Fran
chise measures of the Alabama Convention,
that staunch Republican journal, the New
York Post, says:
We have heard of a great many tests as
qualifications for the franchise—property
qualifications, educational qualifications,
religious qualifications, and various loyal
qualifications—but it has never before been
required that a man should take an oath to
his belief in the political capacity of others
before he should be enfranchised himself.
Carry out this test and we shall next hear
of conventions that require subscription to
the Chicago platform, or the Philadelphia
platform, or the Baltimore platform, or
some other shibboleth of a party eased.
Parties, in fact, will soon come to disfraL-
chise each other, as the Mexican and Span
ish parties often do, till political contests
are no longer a struggle of votes but a
struggle or force. J *

Withholding Cotton on which Ad

ticed In some of our Southern exchanges
articles referring to the very discreditable,
or to speak more to the point, absolutely
dishonest course which has been pursued
by some planters in obtaining advances on
their crops from factors, and then disposing
of their cotton crop to other parties, with
out reimbursing the factor to whom they
had obligated themselves to consign it. in
any shape whatever. At the present time
there is, we regret to say, a case of this kftid
pending in one of our own courts. The
laws of this State are exceedingly strin
gent, as they ought to be, respecting tlie
duties of both factor and planter, and it is
to be hoped that in all cases involving
either the interests or the honor of one or
the other, the law will be enforced in its
fullest extent.—N. O. Trice Current,
