ATLANTA, GA.,::::::: DECEMBER 27.
POUR O’CLOCK, P.M.
Rumors.—There have been quite & va
riety of exciting rumors on the streets
this morning; among others that there
had been a disturbance of a serious nature
between the whites and blanks of Alabama,
and that Montgomery ha^ been placed un
der a reign of terror by some lawless
blacks, headed by reckless and irresponsi
ble white men. The idea that Gen. Swayxe,
with an adequate force of United States
troops at his command, would permit such
a state of affairs as this, is simply ridicu
lous.
We have another rumor, based, we pre
sume, upon the special dispatch to the Cin
cinnati Commercial, dated the 34th, rela
tive to the removal of General Popb, and
the appointment of General Mki.dk to his
place. Our dispatches this evening, will,
we resume, set this last report at rest;
and in this connection, wo have the opinion
of the Associated Press agent at Washing
ton that Mr. Johnson wishes to ** hold the
republican faction together” in order
that it may compass its own destruction.
What this opinion may be worth, we leave
a discriminating public to judge.
tW When Newnanville, Florida, was a
county seat, in 1845, Judge Robert
Raymond Reid was on the Circuit Court
bench. A military guard escorted judge,
members of the bar, suitors and witnesses
to Tallahassee, to attend the Court of Ap
peals. The commander of the escort was
Lieutenant (now General) Ulysses S Grant.
OF“ ‘‘Colonel Parker” was married pri
vately, in Washington, Monday evening,
General Grant giving away the bride.—
Thousands who attended at the church,
yesterday, to witness the publio ceremony,
were disappointed.
Planters’ Convention in Alabama.
The Planters’ Convention lately held in
Selma. Ala- adjourned on the 19th instant.
Among the resolutions adopted are the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That we, the Planters in Con
vention assembled, believe it to be incom
patible with the interests of the planters
to make cotton our chief staple, and that
the mania for the production of this staple
has caused us to neglect, heretofore, the
important and profitable production of
grains, the raising of stock, as well as the
growing of fruit.
Resolved, That it has been a grievous
error on the part of planters to look to the
West for our supplies, when these can be
raised with profit to ourselves at home, and
that our interests as planters must suffer
until this error be remedied.
Resolved, That we believe it to be in
compatible w ith the interest of our plant
ers and with the interest of the country,
for the planters to exceed one-fourth of
their entire crop in cotton, and we do re
commend that the remainder of the crop
shall consist of corn and other cereals.
nOflUM OF EEOOHfTEUCTIOH.
Who First Proposed Gkn. Grant fob
the Presidency?—Thurlow Weed claims
the honor. In the Commercial Advertiser
he says:
We can reflect pleasantly upon the first
]>opular movement in favor of Gen. Grant,
originated in this city, by our friends,
political and personal. Ana it may not be
out of place to remark, that the first journ
al that named John Quincy Adams, for
President (in 1822) was the Rochester
Telegraph, then edited by the writer of this
paragraph; that the first popular demon
stration in his favor was at Rochester, and
under the same auspices; and further, that
the first intimation General Taylor re
ceived of running for President was de
livered to him in writing from us, by his
brother, the late Col. Joe Taylor.
The Rochester Democrat take* him to
task as follows:
The impudence of Mr. Weed is really
amusin^. The “first popular movement in
favor of General Grant” wag made in this
city on March 1,1866, not by the friends of
Thurlow Weed, but by those who were
anything but the friends to him and his
peculiar"principles. It was made by the
Rochester City Convention, which nomin
ated Grant with great enthusiasm, prompt
ed. we presume, by an article in this pa
per on the morning of the nomination, ad
vising i‘ as a measure of expediency de
manded hv the recreancy of Andrew John-
fon. On the following day, March 2, the
Democrat raised the flag of Grant for
President, and has kept it flying ever
t-ince.
Business in New York.—They are ex
] erieneing one of the dullest seasons in
New York that has occurred in that city
tince 1S37. A correspondent, writing un
der date of the 13tli inst., says:
-Business men tell me they never knew
trade so doll as it is now, and most of them
look forward to great difficulty before
spring. Failures continue to be reported
—there were sixteen the week before last-
end the prospect is that many pretty large
Louses will have to go down. A great
many clerks have been notified that their
services will not be wanted alter the first
of January, hundreds of girls and tens of
hundreds ‘of men have lost employment
during the last two months, and it is esti-
mated that there are sixty thousand work
iiigmen and women idle in New York at
Sip present time. I think the present win
ter will be the hardest on the working
glasses that has been experienced in many
fears.
lx a Big Drunk.—Dolly Davenport
recently received the following telegram.

This journal was the first in the State to
Advocate Reconstruction, on the bads of
the Godgreasional Plan. We did this not
because the plan In itself commanded our
entire approval, nor yet because the meas
ures provided for its execution were in ac
cordance with the spirit of our republican
institutions; bat because we realized the
helpless condition of the Southern people,
the importance of a speedy restoration to
those rights forfeited by unsucessfttl revo
lution, and the purpose on the part of the
oonqueror to exercise the prerogative of
preecribing terms to the vanquished.
It oost something at that time to advo
cate such a measure. In time, however, it
responded to a popular sentiment, and
other journals joined us in the campaign.
Men irrespective of old party lines affili
ated with the movement, and the work has
already progressed so for as to produce a
Convention, representing the Sovereignty
of Georgia, and charged by the people
with framing an organic Law in accord
ance with the specifications In the Flan of
Congress.
That Convention has had a session of two
weeks. The result has been anything but
encouraging. Much has transpired to dis
gust the publio and dishearten the advo
cates of Reconstruction. Less than a
dozen small men, possessing neither educa
tion, character, natural ability nor politi
cal experience—men who have neither the
talents to conceive nor the plodding in
stincts to copy a sensible ordinance; nor
yet the prudenoe to keep silent when
silence alone wonld have screened their
shameless ignorance—these are the men
who have assayed to shape the policy of
the Convention, and render the officers of
the State subservient to the interests of a
clique. They have succeeded thus far only
in chattering themselves into notoriety;
their schemes of plunder have been too
transparent to deceive, and too flabbily
executed to command success. The coali
tion formed with this disinterested clique,
by certain parties in Atlanta, and in dero
gation to the best interests of Atlanta, has
only partially succeeded. The State Road
is still out of their hands, and let us hope,
for the sake of the tax payers of Georgia,
that It will remain so.
The Convention re-opens on the 8th,
proximo. Delegates who have accepted
seats in that assemblage at a sacrifice of
their own personal interests, and with a
view only to aid in restoring peace and or
der to our distracted country, will be pres
ent. Let us hope that all others may be
absent; and that the quorum thus formed,
will addrms Itself promptly to the legiti
mate work before it. It is Important in
more respects than one, that this should be
done. Another two weeks of scrambling
for oiUce and plunder; another session of
wire-pulling, intrigues, and combinations,
looking alone to the personal Interests of a
few small men in and out of the Conven
tion, will cause every respectable Union
man in Georgia to wash his hands of the
whole affair.
We speak plainly because we feel that,
under the circumstances, it is a solemn du
ty to do so. And we do this, too, in the
foil knowledge of the fact that it will cost
us several subscribers, and perhaps the en
tire printing of the Covention to do so.—
Nevertheless, the Opinion can afford to
lose both, rather than squint at or endorse
the disgusting roU of a faction who seek to
make the whole reconstruction movement
subservient to their own base and selfish
purposes. We have already sacrificed
more than any other public journalist in
the cause of Reconstruction. We have
done this from principle alone. Ne sneak
ing desire for office, public patronage, or
emoluments of place has prompted our
course. We desired, above all things else,
to see the country settled and at peace;
for this and this only have we labored, and
will continue to labor.
For the Opinion ]
PeUat Remedies.
A few months since, I read, with interest,
an article In one of the Medical journals,
in relation to the use of chloroform. This
article, although a great blessing, fulfilling
many important ends in surgical opera
tions, yet we are compelled to admit
that its administration is often followed
by fatal consequences. The medical jour
nals both in America and Europe have re
corded numbers of deaths, and in conse
quence of which, a large majority of the
intelligent and scientific part of the pro
fession, in both countries, have almost en
tirely abandoned its use. No Intelligent
physician will dare deny but that it is
a remedy of doubtful and uncertain powers,
and its effects hard to overcome; and when
used as an ansthetic agent, no human mind
can always predict the result. Its favora
ble or unfavorable impression upon the
human organization must depend upon
the idlosyncracy of the person; therefore,
if the danger is alone dependent npon a
certain condition of the individual consti
tution, and all admit oar Incompetency to
judge correctly, then to give It at all, is
but a “leap in the dark,” and unau
thorized, upon correct physiological
principles. When once its dreadful
influence has been produced in any given
case, it will require an equal amount of
judgment, and more guess work to find
the remedy to counteract Its effects; as the
antidote must, to be successful, depend up
on the idlosyncracy of the patient at the
time.
It is exceedingly strange, to my mind,
that while the most scientific part of the
profession are throwing the weight of their
influence against the indiscriminate use of
chloroform, that men are found in almost
every community who are carrying in
their pocket* daily a vial of this dangerou*
remedy, and giving it In almost every case
with as little fear for its results as if they
were using eugar pillt. If I were permit
ted to discriminate between a Chloroform
and Sugar-pill Doctor, I should in every
Instaiot decide In fcYor of the latter. While
no good could result from the use of sugar-
pilia, I am pertain my life wonld be safe.—
On the other hand, should I be put under
thejuiflueaee of chloroform, I am certain the
result could not be foretold. It might be
unfavorable, and death possibly end tjfe-.

The Georgia Convention—Its Personeli
The Atlanta correspondent of the Cinctar
nati Commercial, speaking of the misregb
resentations of the press respecting tlk
personel of the Convention, says: *
And there are moreover, men in the
Gen. Pope Not Removed.
Washington, Dec. 27.—Undoubtedly
Pope’s and Swayne’s conduct was highly
disapproved at the White House, but no
action has yet been taken for their remov
al. The Executive policy is to avoid irra-
Convention who have displayed more true' ration, if possible, which may tend to hold
the Republican faction together end ena-
We them to pass more stringent supple-
than the bravest man in Lee or Johnston’s
army.
My eye rests on such a man as I write.
He is a Georgian of many generations; a
man of fine education and capabilities;
has been all his life a slaveholder; has not
a solitary tie of kindred or connection
with the North; has filled offices of the
highest responsibility in the State; was in
the Georgia Convention in 1861; again in
1865; is in the depth of wealth, and the
owner of several plantations; is neither
politician nor office-seeker; is neither Re
publican nor Democrat; is independent of
the favor of any man or any party; asks
nothing, wants nothing; is in Convention
to the detriment of his private interests,
and under the seal of social ostracism. He
is there wholly and solely for the good of
his country, for the sake of his native
State, and ‘because he desires to see her
once again happy, and, at last, really free.
And this man, and several like him, (for
this portraiture may be applied to more
than one in the Georgia Convention.) are
described to you as “adventurers,” “scala
wags,” “pickalds,” “miscreants,” “scoun
drels.” and to use the elegant phrase of
Mr. Ben. Hill—“scum of hell.”
And wretched Bohemians of the press,
who for so much pelf would describe
heaven itself as a low-flung place, (and
swear they had been there, too,) will write
to order absurd and mendacious travesties
of the motives aud sayings of men consci
entiously bent on the performance of a
duty whose sacredness and elevation
neither they nor their employers could
possibly comprehend! If you doubt this,
read the first Atlanta letter you chance to
meet in the columns of the great Metro
politan Scavenger.
Choosing a Vocation.—There is nothing
which puzzles and perplexes a parent more
than the task of deciding upon a vocation
for his boy. If the parent be poor, the
question is generally with regard to this
or that trade; if he be rich, it hinges upon
the choice of a profession or some other
vocation that requires no soiling of hands.
The whole field of handcraft is explored by
one, and every sphere of brain-work by
the other, in the attempt to reach a conclu
sion on the important subject. The result
is that in one case the ranks of manuel la
bor are recruited by a shoemaker’s or a
tailor’s apprentice; and in the other case,
the professional field receives the addition
of an embryo lawyer or doctor.
This selection of vocation by parents is
well meant, but unfortunateiy it is a lead
ing cause of bad work in the field of labor,
incompetency in the profession, and un
congenial employment in every sphere.
Nature kindly gives every new-comer in
the world, the talent necessary to fill some
position in life acceptably to the world,
and both profitably and agreeably to the
individual. This end all men reach who
are not led out of the natural path, elttier
by vice or by a disregard of Nature’s gift.
It is the latter for which parents are too
often accountable. A man determines that
his boy shall follow a certain vocation, and
into that field the youth is thrust, although
he may have no natural aptitude or taste
for the business. For instance, a boy may
have talents which, if properly directed
and cultivated, would make him eminent
as an architect, or as an engineer. It is
decided, however, that he shall become a
harness maker, and the result is that the
world gets from him nothing but bad har
ness, while he ever feels that his own life
harness is a bad misfit. To the same cause
may be traced a large part of the profes
sional misfits—lawyers whose cases ought
to be in printers’ composing rooms; doctors
who ought to be amputating limbs of
trees in the new settlements, and
clergymen whose forte is the mending
of boot-soles. In every sphere of life
men are thus to be found out of their
business element, and as uncomfortable as
a fish out of water. There are cases in which
men break over the barriers of an uncon
genial business, and seek the field that na
ture designed them for; but such cases
are comparatively rare. If every man
were given the talent necessary for a cer
tain neld, and could do nothing at all in
any other field, every one would eventual
ly get into his proper channel. But unfor
tunately most men are sufficiently versa
tile to enable them to make some progress
in almost any sphere of life. The best plan
for a parent to pursue, in respect to a vo
cation for his boy, is to watch the bent of
the youth’s talent and inclination, and see
what Nature designed him for. It is natu
ral for a parent to think that his boy is a
prodigy, and that he is capable of filling a
nigh station in life. For the boy’s sake,
however, it is better to start him right in
life, even though the starting place be low
upon the ladder, than to put him in a posi
tion where he can make no progress. The
aim should be to place the boy in a sphere
where he will take pride in his work,
throw all his energy into it and thus train
and develop to the fullest extent his native
talent.—AT. Y. Sun.
Financial Famine in tee Louisiana
Convention.—The Georgia Convention is
not alone in its money troubles. A dis
patch, dated New Orleans, the 24th, says:
The Convention to-day almost unani
mously adopted) Mr. Cooley’s resolution
repealing the bond ordinance, and adopted
instead the ordinance reported by the
Finance Committee, with some amend
ments. As adopted the ordinance provides
that a direct tax of one mill per cent, on
all real and personal property, be collected
by the sheriffs.
An ordinance was also adopted appoint
ing a committee to negotiate a loan, to re
lieve the immediate necessities of the Con
vention. If successful in negotiating the
loan, the money collected as taxes is to be
5 laced to the credit of that loan in the
reasury.
Postage Stamps and Stamped Enve
lopes.—Post Master General Randall has
issued the following order:
For the better accommodation of the
public, Post Masters are authorized to de
signate agents for the sale of postage
stamps and stamped envelopes within the
delivery of their respective offices, and to
supply such agents with said stamps, etc.,
of the several denominations, in value not
exceeding $50, and allowing them a dis
count of two per cent, on the amount of
their purchases.”
Wit is suggested that Dickens has as
yet reached only two-thirds the hight he
may attain. For, as yet, he has only shown
his proficiency in two R’s: Readin’ an’
’Ritm’. There still remains for him th#
wide field for achievement presented by
’Rlthmetic.

After-Dinner Doings.—The Pall Mall
Gazette tells a queer story of which the
hero seems to be Edmund Yates, who
earned on a recent occasion, the title of D.
D. For, in the early days of California
journalism, the cases of arrest for inebriety
were so common that instead of writing
“drunk and disorderly” after the culprit’s
name, the clerk simply affixed'the initials,
D. D. This seemed to the reporters so
good a joke that they transferred the prac
tice to their printed reports, and the cleri
cal and religious world were duly shocked
at the appearance of the abbreviation D.
D. in so disreputable a connection.
But to return to the Pall Mall Gazette’s
story of Yates. Alter the dinner, some of
the literary men. such as Mark Lemon
Wilkie Collins, and Horace Mayhew, who
make a point on such occasions of not
going home till morning, adjourned to a
pot-house known as the Hall of Ancient
Druids. What passed there the journal
thus recounts:
“There they sit, the ex-publican, Mark
Lemon, hobnobbing with the writer ot
mysteries, Wilkie Collins, who gets an in
come out of a novel which it makes one’s
head ache to read; and the whitehaired old
young man, Horace Mayhew, whose con
versation is not of the choicest, and who
has knocked about town and comic litera
ture these thirty years past, talking as lie
should not to the son of the great hero
whose berth is secured for next week
But what is the matter ? The man with
the acarlet face is getting obstreperous.
He is wild, noisy, blasphemous, unfit as
ever for the society of gentlemen. Not
even the slimy persuasion of his white-
haired Daman can still the fury of this
sensation Pythias! He is making a drunk
en sensation speech. The music stops, and
every one in the ball gathers round to lis
ten to his tipsey drivil. What is it all
about? Why, they did not put this grand
penny-rag hero on the Dinner Committee,
and he has been insulted. Hark to his vio
lent vanity! ‘He has lived on my brains,’
he says; ‘this man you have been feasting.
I have helped to make a success of his two
penny mag. I won’t be put down! I won’t
stop talking! I—I—I am too clever to
live!’—Bah! come away from the filthy
scene. This, then, is the end of the great
feast of reconciliation and love, and this
poor tipsy creature is a literary man of
1867. lie has already been forgiven too
often. ‘The devil was sick, and the devil a
saint would be!’ But we will have no
more burlesques of repentance. He has
offended us all, offended the man that Eng
land loves best, and he is past pardon.”
Proposition to Remove the Capitol.
A Washington letter of the 20th says:
General Logan’s proposition to remove
the Capitol westward, like a great many
other important measures and needed re
forms, comes too late to warrant the indul
gence of any hope of its adoption. It is very
true that Washington City is far removed
from the center of population, which, ac
cording to the census of1860,is in the vicini
ty of Zanesville, Ohio; it is also true that
its geographical location is neither eligible
nor convenient. But there are two objec
tions to the proposed removal, which can
not be easily overcome. The first is the
amount of money expended in the public
buildings here; and the second is,’the
length of time it would take to prepare a
new Capitol for the transaction of public
business. Washington has been in a 6tate
of preparation for the last thirty years, and
there are children now living who will die
of old age before it is finished.
Misdirected Letters.—According to
the Postmaster General’s report, not less
than a million letters were mailed last
year without signatures, and misdirected,
or so badly directed, that the address was
totally unintelligible—these were de.
stroyed. More than a million and a half
others—1,611,686—were restored to their
writers by the care of the dead-letter office.
Thus it seems that at least two And a half
million of mistakes were made in an op
eration which one would think likely to
enlist the sufficient care of the writer, the
addressing ot a letter. These letters con
tained nearly $150,000 in money, bills of
exchange, deeds, checks, etc., to the value
of over $5,000,000, and over 49,000 contained
photographs, jewelry, etc.
