Her abilities are quite ‘ ^.ifl to her personal attractions. When che arrived in New York three years ago, n idi her jiarents, wlio travel with her, she created a greater turor than ever Dickens did. For »ix months scarcely a hall could be found sufficiently large to accommodate her audiences. She proposes to deliver, it U ill be seen, a single lecture in this city.

A man who can rise ft-oni . h meals as are always spread for the • -u of the Ficken House, in an unamia- mood, is a walking cruet of crab apple tin-gar and don’t deserve any better ur«- than pickles and sour krout.

Mrs. C., it “•’•ms, left her babe asleep on the bed and iWnted herself for about twenty mm ol’ - '. On her return she found her child in the lamentable condition above described. How the tire was communicated to the bed upon which the child was asleep remains a aiistery to the bereaved and heart strick en mother. I>r. Roach was called in. but alas, nothing could be done for the amelioration of her condition, and death served as a Heaven sent messenger to relieve the little sufferer.

Whereas, The low price of cotton, the scarcity of money, the unsettled condition of the political affairs of the State, and the derangement and inefficiency of labor, render it impossible for the debtor to make even partial payment; and Whereas, To undertake to force the pay ment of indebtedness would only result in bankruptcy and utter ruin of the great masses, and concentrating into the hands of a few the little remaining trotn ruthless war: and Whereas, All, or nearly all, the indebted ness was based^either directly'Or indirectly upon the property thus destroyed or de preciated, while the amount of indebted ness is held unditninished; therefore, Wc, the people of Georgia, in Conven tion assembled, do solemnly ordain that, from and after the passage of this ordi nance, no court in this State shall have jurisdiction at any time to hear or determine, or render judgment against any citizen of this State, upon any contract or judgment^made or entered into, or for any tort or injury committed prior to the first day of .June, 1865; nor shall any court or ministerial officer of this State ever have jurisdiction to enforce any judgment or execution rendered or issued upon any contract or agreement, or for any tort or injury committed prior to said first dav of June, 1865.

RErORTOE THE SUNORITYOFTHK COMUIl'lU OX RELIEF. '■ The undersigned, memliers of the Com mittee on Belief, re spectfully present some of their reasons for disagreeing to the re port of the majority, and certain resolu tions which they recommend to the adop tion of the Convention : The majority propose, both by ordinance and by a provision in the Constitution, to deny to courts and officers all power to collect debts originating prior to June], 1865; that is, in effect, to abolish all such debts. No exception is made, even in favor o the most helpless and dependent classes, or against those who still hold valuable prop erty for which they owe. Widows and or phans, whose property went before that date into the hands of faithless trustees, vvUl.be left friendless and without remedy by this merciless enactment. The instincts of justice and humanity which impel us to protest against it are in strict harmony with the principles of the supreme law of the land. Without discussing the question whether the proposed measures can be reached by the courts so as to be set aside as unconsti tutional. we content ourselves with saying that one ot the most important provisions in the Constitution of the United States will become utterly worthless if such at tempts as tlii-s can succeed. When our fathers ordained in that sacred instrument, that no .State should pass laws impairing the obligation of contracts, they meant that no State should prevent a creditor from getting his dues; and it this is done by withholding jurisdiction from court* or in any other way. the spirit, if not the let ter of the Constitution is vio ated. and one. of the ma n purposes for which the Consti tution was made is defeated. We can he parties to no contrivance, however skillful, for evading the Constitu tion of our country. We wish to return to tiie Union, from which Georgia unwisely tried to sever herself, with unfaltering loyalty to the principle.- on which t ie Union rests. The best atonement which our State can make for her past alierrations is an increased alacrity in performing everything that the Constitution com mands, und an increased carefulness to ab stain from everything that the Constitu tion forbids, in letter or spirit. Rebellion against the principles of the Constitution is moral) j r as criminal as rebellion against the Govemmeiit which the Constition cre ates. -*W)F ► the Hi *3 to the interests of another, be tter I*, more jnqmeroqi.

Why undertbk® to pre vent impossibilities ? No law on. earth can collect what a debtor cannot pay. Perhaps the majority simply mean that it is incon venient for the debtor to nay. Tbis we aid* mil. But when the legislature of the State was controlled by the classes to which most of the present friends of-‘Relief ’ belong, they solemnly enacted that all Of an insole vent’s property, except a moderate exemp tion, should be sold to pay his debt; They cannot complain if the law metes but to themselves with the same measure. If the present exemption was enough when the standard of wealth was high, it is sorely enough when the standard js low. We do not oppose a reasonable enlargement of it as to future debts. But let the debts of the past be settled on the principles that con* trolled in the past. The argument that forced sales at present prices will not bring enough to benefit the creditor is sufficient ly answered by the consideration that in all such cases the creditor will have no in ducement to bring the property to sale, and, of his own acposd wilj wait’ till better times. . The majority cite the ordinances of the Convention of 1865. repudiating the state war debt as a reason and a precedent for the.action now proposed. It is remarka ble that the action of a body which the call for this Convention assumes to have been unauthorized, should be expected to influence ours. But supposing that Convention to have been legal, there is nothing to warrant the inferences which the majority draw from its action. If the tax paying debtors of the State have been relieved .from their part of a olihlic debt, tltey are so much the abler to pay their private debts. The prin ciple Of the ordinance of 1865 was one well established at common law. that debts con tracted for an illegal purpose, such as to aid in resisting a lawful government, are void. We cannot see how the repudiation of an unlawful debt can justify the repudi ation of debts made in the ordinary and lawful course of business. We also object to fhe proposed action be cause it leaves to a noil-resident creditor, whose claim is large enough f° r juris diction of the Federal Courts, advantage* over creditors who reside in Georgia. A creditor to whom those Courts ard open will collect his debts in spite of our ordi nances and the prohibitions in our Consti tution. While willing, that citizens of other States should enjoy equal rights with ourselves, we art' not capable of that ro- mantic generosity which would accord them privUeg -s that are denied to our own people. It bus been said that ordlnary rules are not nppliculde to tlie present question because a large amount of prop erty has been lost by tlie action of tlie government. We cannot see why x de struction ot property bv public authority should affect tin* legal relations of debtor and creditor- any more than Fsd- struction by private person.- or by usual Providen tial cutises. . ... , _ ....
