ATLANTA, QA.
FOUR O’CLOCK, P. M.
A Hixt.—We have had frcquentToc-
emsion to notice unfair and ungenerous in
termeddling with the business affairs of our
office. Heretofore we have been unable to
present facts, names, circumstances, etc.,
«a plainly as we could wish. Yesterday
developed an invasion upon our rights and
immunities which we are grestly tempted
U> expose. Wc forebear jet once more,.
Another demonstration against us, and we
ahall come out publicly with names, man
ner and matter, so that the community
la *- v w the disinterested friendship of some
or our neighbors, and the dignified and
commendable means they adopt to evince
"Official Paper/*—Fairness in bnsiness
is commendable. But with some people it
is a rare virtue. The following from the
Anc 2i>a of this morning, under the head

Hall of the Georgia Convention.)
January 20th, 1868. $
Dr. Bartf. Editor and Proprietor of the Daily
New Era:
Dear Sir : The Committee on Printing,
as per order, have instructed me to have
the “official proceedings of the Convention
be published in the * Daily Nexe Era ’ ” and
“one copy of each paper,” say in all one
hundred and sixty-nine (169) copies. “ he
furnished each delegate during the ses
won.”
“The Committee determined that the
matter published, should be a succinct re
port of the proceedings, omitting the re
marks of delegates.” Yours truly,
P. M. Sheibley,
Secretary of the Convention
The article we have capitalized conveys
an unwarranted assumption. To have
given the facts as they exist, the sentence
should have read. - The New Era has been
selected as one of the organs,” etc. We
were in receipt of a similar note from Mr
Sheibley, and certainly never thought of
announcing the Opinion as “ TIIE organ.”
We would ask which it “ the organ.” It is
our opinion “ honors are easy.” We copy
Mr. Sheibley’s note of the same date ad
dressed to this office:
IIall of tup. Georgia Convention.
January 20.1868.
Editor Opinion—Sir: The Committee on
Printing, as per order, have instructed me
to have the “official proceedings of the
Convention be published in the -Daily
Opinion,*" and “one copy of each paper,”
say in all one hundred and sixty-nine (169)
copies, “be furnished each delegate during
the session.”
“The Committee determined that the
matter published should be a succinct re
port of the proceedings, omitting the re
marks of delegates.”
Yours truly,
P. II. Sheibley,
See. of the Convention.
That this effort to misrepresent Mr.
Sheibley, and make capital out of a bald
assumption, may appear in its trve colors,
we publish the following:

Editor Opinion—Sir: The note I sent
you yesterday was precisely. “verbatim et

is no more an organ of the Convention
than is the “Daily Opinion.*’

GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION.
:: JANUARY 21. twenty-fifth day.
[reported expressly for the daily opinion.
Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1968.
Convention met at the regular hour.
Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and
approved.
The Convention resumed the regular or
der—the consideration of the Resolution
of Mr. Ashburn, asking that Congress
confer upon the Convention the authority
delegated to the District Commanders in
the 2d section of the Supplemental Recon
struction Act, passed July 19th, 18*7, and
for other purposes therein named, with the
substitutes offered by Messrs. Trammell and
Whitely, and the amendment of Mr. Aker
man was resumed. •
The matters under consideration was
follows:
RESOLUTION OF MR. AKKRMAN.
That we, the Representatives
of the . . p ®°P le of Georgia, in Convention
assembled, respectfully represent to the
Congress of the United States, that it is
essential to the successful execution of the
Reconstruction laws that the Provisional
Government of this State should be execu
ted by such persons only as are made eli
gible by the following clause of the 6th
the “Act to provide for the more
efficient government of the rebel States,”
viz: “And no person shall be eligible to
any office under any such Provisional Gov
ernment who would be disqualified from
holding office under the provisions of the
5th Article of said Constitutional Amend
ment.” Said Section 3d of said Amend
ment being, “No person shall be eligible
who, having previously taken an oath as a
member of Congress, or as an officer of the
L nited States, or as a member of any State
Legislature, or as an Executive or Judi
cial officer of any State, to support the
Constitution of the United States, shall
have engaged in insurrection or rebellion
against the same, or given aid or comfort
to the enemies thereof.” And we there
fore respectfully recommend that, this
Convention be clothed with an operative
authority the same as delegated to the
District Commander, in Section 2d of the
Supplemental Reconstruction Act, passed
July 19, 1867.
Resolved, That the Secretary be and he
is hereby instructed to transmit, at once, a
copy of this resolution to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives and to the
President of tho Senate.

Encouraged by the large sale of the first
edition. Miss Mason was induced to en
large the work by the addition of many
new poems which are embraced in the sec
ond edition. From sales of the first edi
tion. Miss Mason has alrcrdy provided for
the support of twenty-five Southern girls,
orphans of deceased Confederate soldiers.
Should the seeond edition meet with alike
generous reception, it is the purpose of
Miss Mason to devote its proceeds to the
same noble work, many of whom she de
signs to qualify for teachers.
The undertaking of Miss Mason is cer
tainly a praiseworthy one. She is entitled to
the aid and sympathy of the friends of the
“lost cause.” In point of merit, this is
the best selection of Southern War Poems
yet given to the public. Eschewing all
favoritism, it fairly and fully represents
the Southern muse, from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande. Whilst many of the
poems betray an absence of the classic
touch and finish incident to less turbulent
times, they fitly represent the excited state
of the public mind in a time of revolution,
when the fiery passions of the heart are
stirred to their remotest depths.
Our young friend, Moss Barrick, is the
agent of this work for Atlanta and vicini
ty. He will call on our citizens generally,
aoliciting their subscriptions to the work.
We bespeak for him a liberal patronage at
their hands.

doing are not only seriously retarding the

ficers, from Governor down to policemen.

invented fire exterminators. One to
amend the bankrupt law. One to pay of
ficers, musicians and soldiers for horses

The House adjourned.
KlsesllAneous.
Gen. Grant has gone to Richmond.
Gen. Sewell, who has traveled from
Holly Springs to New Orleans, thence to
Vicksburg via Baton Rouge, reports to the
Bureau a very unsettled state of affairs
and there ia no telling what the result may
be. Great destitution exists, hut no star
vation. The planters without means, com
paratively few plantations will be worked
this year, with comparatively more atten
tion to cereals. Few contracts have yet
been made with the Freedmen. No organ
ized plan on the part of planters for gov
erning freedmen’s wages. A limited
amount of rations will be required in the
river eountry in Louisiana, Mississippi and
There is little cause for appre
hension on the inlands. Gen. Sewell re
ports that many of the Bureau agents and

their selection.

Shreveport, Louisiana; and Albert G
Grigley, General Appraiser of Merchan-
dise for the South, have been nominated.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent a
communication to the Senate regarding
c®tton claims. It appears that the Court
of Claims denied the appeal to the Supreme
Court, and that the Secretary, after ascer
taining as nearly as possible, the net
•mount due oa judgments of the Court of
Claims paid them.
