A TLA NT A, G A : DECEMBER 26. FOUR O’CLOCK, P. M. Disturbances nr Alabama.—Our dis patches from Montgomery, though doubt less highly colored, as the telegraph reports from that point have been for some time indicate a bad state of feeling. It is to be regretted that there is no legal meas ures in that State of reaching a class of miserable agitators who would plunge the State into anarchy and war rather than content themselves with positions they were bora to. M km beks or tiie Coxvextiox.—If there were no more potent reasons for distrust than the alleged fact that too many mem bers arc Northern born men, the friends of Reconstruction in C eor £> a would have more to hoi>c for. That there are one or two worthless creatures in that Convention, no man ot candor, who is acquainted with the pcrsonel of that body, can deny. But as a general thing, the men of Northern birth, who hold seats in the Convention, have come to Georgia to make the State their home. We presume the people of Ohio would not be willing to exclude Mr. Vali.anmc.iiam, Mr. Cox. Mr. Wade, or Mr. Chase from ofiice merely because they were not born in that State. The people Iowa. Kansas, or Nebraska are not, we pre-ume, willing to exclude the majority of their citizens for the same reason. We doubt whether any of the Northern States would do o. Why, then, should Georgia? I- not the old Chinese wall of Slavery beaten down? If so. let us remove its traces and open new Geogia to emigration and intercourse with the outside world. \notuki: Sensation Spoiled.—The Ma- eon Telegraph, of yesterday, learns that the troops who left that place for Milledge- ville Monday night were called for by the Mayor oi that city, in order to keep the I twice during the Christmas holidays. So much for the opinion of the Associated I»rrss Agent at Macon. Can't he get up another sensation ? own case, but in thousands of others. De prive the poor man Of credit and you make him a hewer of wood and drawer of water for some landed aristocrat during his own life and that of his children after him. In States where there are but few poor peo- ple, these large homesteads are well enough, where no one is defrauded by them; but where the great mass of the peo ple are as poor as they are m Georgia, I consider it bad policy to confer them. I will give a very short illustration: In the Spring of the present year, many poor men were obliged to have a little cash to enable them to finish their crops. They got it by giving liens on their little farms and crops, and thus made plenty for their families, and paid their debts in good faith. Will it not be so with many next year and for many years to eome ? Now' if all they have and much more is exempt, who can loan them money? Who can credit their wives a few months for a calico dress or a pair of shoes or cdtton cards ? Ex-Gov. Brown says the great landed aristocracy are broke, and they ought to sell off their lands in small farms. I don’t doubt but many of them arc broke, if their just debts were paid ; biit the Ex-Governor proposes to “release'’ them from these debts; some entirety and others for an in definite period, and thus enable them to Governor Brown an*“Relief.” Hon. J. R. Parrott, President of the Georgia Convention: Sir—I notice in the Atlanta Dajlt Opinion, of the 10th, the substance of a conversation between yourself and Ex- tiov. Brown, which he has reduced to writing at your request, on the subject of “Relief,” so-called. On that question, the Ex-Governor and myself differ, as gentle men have a right to do. I propose briefly to examine Jhe position he takes, and in doing so, should I handle bis “views” & little roughljyit is not on account of any unkind feelings toward the Ex-Governor. It is true, we have differed heretofore, on great and vital questions, but the stand taken by him for the last twelve months has caused me to hold him in high esteem. The ex-Govemor sets out by saying the war has resulted in the destruction of hun dreds of thousands of property in this State, to say nothing of what has been de stroyed in other States. Much of this was destroyed by the Government, but much the largest loss grew out of the abolition of slavery. Now I deny that the Govern ment of the United States destroyed slave ry. Gov. Brown knows better than I can tell him that the war destroyed slavery. Every intelligent man knows that Presi dent Lincoln never would have issued the Emancipation Proclamation had it not j keep their land.*.’ and instead of selling been for the war, and that the war never them off in small farms, call around them would have existed but for that odious or- ! poor mu—vhjte and colored—and make dinancc of Secession which caused the | fliem tomuirs at will, thereby building up wholesale destruction of life and properly.

Dobbins, addressed to the President of the Constitutional Conven tion. will arrest the attention of the reader. Mr. Dobbins is well and favorably known in this community as an upright, success ful businessman. As a financier, he has few equals, perhaps no superior, in Georgia.

Jatitps Roper, mulatto, illegitimate sen of an ec centric Englishman, died near Petersburg. y.j_ a tow days since. He is said to have Ki‘ii worth over half a million. IVr the Opinion.] Atlanta, December 2.x, 1S67. it appears that “Senix.” supposed to be an old seersb, but now one of tlie Grant t'j u b, says, through the Era of the 25th. that the vote of the Republican caucus on the first night ot its meeting, was a farce, and that the Grant men, what few there v. ere there, did not see force enough in the move to arouse any opposition. But why does he not give the result of the same caucus the next night? The Grant men there, by an insider, and of course with the thing well understood, ottered a pre amble saying that the resolution the even- in,«• before was not understood, and ottered a regular Grant resolution and it was voted down as unanimously as the other was passed. Why did Mr. Seuix not re- j«ort that? Ah! it was because the truth would hurt. Capt. “Senix" is supposed to bo one of those tarseeing prophets that in secession days told the people how rich this country would be if they would se cede. and there is about as much common >ense in his prediction about Grant as there was in advising treason. Anti-vahney. Reticense.—A Straw.—The New Orleans Republican, the organ of the Grant party in that city, says: We are now and always have been in fa vor of banging them, (the Rebels) and have no objection of seeing Horace Greeley d-nsrlin" by their side: and if Judge Chafe has planted himself upon the uni versal amesiy and universal suffrage plat form, to such an extent that the ballot of Surratt and Jefferson Dav.-s shall weigh as much as the ballot of Langston and Doug- Sm, be too, may swing from the same scaf- fcU to charge all these ills to effect and noth ing to the cause. Now, sir, avIio is it that demands “Relief?” Is it the poor men of the country, white or colored? Is it poor ragged, starving widow and orphan that we meet on the streets every day, whose husbands and fathers were slaugh tered in a war gotten up by a set of crazy politicians? Nay. verily! Not a word said about “ Relief” for the truly needy; but the honest debts of the landed aristocracy must be speedily repudiated, else they will be turned out of doors! This is a very strong term of the ex-Governor's, when he knows that the homestead law now allows each head of a family fifty acres of land and five additional acres for every child and a house not to be worth more than three hundred dollars, besides other per sonal property. How, hen, can you turn anybody out of doors? I ask again wlio is it that demands “ re lief? ” The answer is plain: It is the very men that brought on the war, many of whom are now worth more than they were before the war, and of whom it is well known ninety-nine out of every hundred could have paid their debts in ConfeJerate money if they would, but who took shel ter under an odious Stay Law and refused to pay their just debts, even in that trash, when the debts were contracted to be paid in gold. These are the men that now come before the great State of Georgia in Convention to have themselves “relieved” Irom their just debts. They first destroyed the property of the country, and now they claim that a great State should disgrace herself in the eyes of all the civilized world in order to reward them for their evil deeds ? The Ex-Governor says such debtors have not involved themselves by bad manage ment. In this he is simply mistaken. It is known that they refused to pay their debts even in Confederate money up to January. 1863. After that time, it became no crime to refuse Confederate script in payment of old debts. Previous to that time, any man's neck was in danger who refused to receive it at par for debts contracted for on a gold basis. Again: The Ex-Governor says the Supreme Court will soon declare the Stay Law unconstitutional, and then property will change hands rapidly, and go into the hands of speculators. Another mistake. There is no one at this time who cares to speculate in land. In such an instance, the man that holds the debt would have to buy the land. Is that hard upon the debtor? Does not the property justly belong to the creditor, if the debt be just ? It is a strange system of “relief]” to take money from the rightful owner and put it into the pocket of one who has already had value received for it. I would like to know how that is going to “Believe” the State? Better adopt an Agrarian system at once. The Ex-Governor says something about the Judges of the Courts being sworn to support the Constitution which he pro poses. I will not argue Courts with him. lli is a lawyer; I amjnot. But it oc curs to me that there are Judges who hold Courts in Georgia, that will not take that oath, nor do I believe that any conscien tious Judge oan take it. I believe all officers of Courts have to swear, first, to support the Constitution of the United States. And, if I recollect aright, there is a clause in that instrument forbiding any State to pass any law violating the obliga tion ot contracts. The ex-Governor is liberal in the way of homesteads. To that I have no objections, if made to act prospectively; but I don’t want to take one man’s land and give it to another. I give it as my opinion, however, as a business man. that the exemption at this time of $1,000 worth of land, besides other property, would be the hardest lick the poor men of this country have had for a long time. If a man be worth $1,000 be is thought worthy of credit to the amount of $500, and can get it if he is a prudent man. Now, there is not one man in ten in Georgia, who digs his living out of the ground, that is worth what Gov. Brown proposes to exempt. What then have these men upon which to base a credit? Noth ing. What is he to do ? Of course some impractical men will say, let them live without credit. That is easier talked of than done. Rich men cannot do it in any civilized country, much less can poor ones. Credit is the poor man's capital. I know this from fair experience, not only in my that uUI sell these lands at low prices when they can rent them for one-fourtli of tiie cotton, .-inti one-third of the corn ? Not the “many. I i; engine. Now, sir. i have written more than I ex pected. W hat I have said I know is poorly said. Lain no scliolir, but what is here stated, and what I say in conclusion, are my honest sentiments, and I feel inclined to put them on record. I here state that I am not only opposed to ex-Governor Brown’s views of “ relief” as it is modestly called, hut I am opposed to all plans of re lief that look toward interfering with the sacred m obligation of contracts. Have the people of Georgia met in Convention in this enlightened age of the world, to form a government, the very corner stone of which is to be Repudiation ? I trust not. What is gold, lands and houses compared with honor and strict integrity, even with individuals, much less in States? I beg' you and the honorable body over which you. preside, not to attempt the establish ment of a government on any such rotten foundation. If yon do. I predict it will cause trouble and confusion. Well, j'ou may ask, “Whatis ycrurpiano! relief, or have you any”? I say any plan is better than robbing one man to “relieve” another. If the Convention in its wisdom thinks *• relief” is necessary, let them issue the bonds of the State, sell the State Road, or do anything else they think best rather than act unjustly and in bad faith to any of her citizens. Let them loan tl»e money to the people, take lienson their lands and wait until they can pay it back. I><» all j'ou can, sir. to build up the credit and honor of j'our State, and nothing to tar nish it, and future generations will rise up to call j ou blessed. It maj' be said, that in all this I am sel fish; tfiat I owe no old debts, and that I have much due me. To some extent. tiff.* Is true; but L here state, that there is not a man w ho owes me with whom I would not compromise, and givehim his papers it lie will make a fair and honest settlement with me. Nor will I turn one of them outof doors. And I believe ninety-nine creditors outol every hundred will do the same. If they will not, the Bankrupt law stands ready to make them compromise. Where, theft, I ask. is the necessity for a great State dis gracing herself by Repudiation? Verj' respectfully, M. G. Dobbins. Disturbances in Alabama. Montgomery, Dec, 25.—The negroes were out in force to-day, contrary to the municipal regulations and military orders, with guns, pistols, etc., and in full uniform.

I should think, ever since we first knew her in iter little brown pinafore; I wondered, us 1 shut them all up for tiie night between their green boards what it was that made these stories so fresh and vivid. Why did not they fall to pieces, vanish and explode, disappear, like so manj' of their cotemporaries and descend ants? And j-et far front being forgotten and passing awajq it tvould seem as*jf each generation in turn, as it came into the world, looks to he delighted still by bril liant pageant, and never tires or wearies of it. And on their side princes and princesses never seem to grow any older; the castles and the lovelj'gardens flourish without need of repair, or whitewash, or plumbers, or glaziers. The princesses’ grows, too—sun. moon, and star color—do not wear out, or pass out of fashion, or require altering. Even the seven-leagued hoots do not appear to be the worse for wear. Numbers of real istic stories for children have passed away. Little Henry and his, Bearer, PoOr Harry and Lucy, have very nearly given up their little artless ghosts and orattle, and ceased making their own beds for the instruction of less excelleutty brought up little boys and girls: and, notwithstanding a verj' in teresting article in the Saturday Review, it must be owned that Harry Sandford and Tornrnj' Merton are not fantilliar play-fel lows in our nurseries and school-rooms, and have passed somewhat out of date. But not so all these centenarians—Prince Riquet, Carabas, Little Red Riding-hood. Bluebeard, and others. They seem as If they would neveT ^row oldl Thej' play with, the children, they amuse the elders'; there seems no end to their fund of spirits and perennial youth. IL, to whom I made this remark, said, Irom the opposite chitnuey corner, “No wonder; the stories are onty histories of real, living persons, turned into fairy princes and princesses. Fairy stories are everywhere and every day. We are all princes and princesses in disguise, or ogres or wicked dwarfs. All these historiesare the histories of human nature, which does not seem to change very much in a thou sand years or so. and we don’t get tired of the fairies because they are so true to it.” Jiliss Ihackeray.

From the character and ability of the Convention now sitting it Atlanta,’it is but reasonable to infer that a good Consti tution will be framed for Georgia, and there is little doubt in the minus of tile leading Unionists that such a one will be adopted hy a majority of botli white votes and colored. It is reasonably certain then that the three States comprising the Third District will all be represented in Congress bj- June, and resume their places as States in the Union, and devoted to its best in terests. Franklin's Wife.—To promote her hus band’s interests, she attended in his-little shop, where she bought rags, sewed pam phlets, folded newspapers, arid sol^ Hie few articles in which he dealt, fcueh as ink. papers, lampblack, blanks and Other sta tionery. At the same time, she was an ex cellent housekeeper, and besides being economical herself, taught her somewhat careless, disorderly husband to be econo mical also. Sometimes, Frafkiln was clothed from head to foot in garments which his wife had both woven and made, and for a longtime she performed all the- work of the house without the assistance of a servant. Nevertheless, she knew how to be liberal at proper times. Franklin tells us that for some years after his marriage his breakfast was bread and milk, which they ate out of two penny earthern vessels. With a pewter spoon; but one morning, on going down to breakfast, he found upon the table a beautiful china bowl, from which his bread and milk wag steamii g, with a silver spoon bj* its side, which huu cpst a sum equal In our currency to ten dollars. When he expressed his astonish ment at this unwonted • splendor, Mrs. Franklin onty remarked, that she thought her husband’deserved a silver spoon and china bowl as much as anj- of her neighbors.
