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 of - official paper."’ is a “ case in point: ” the appended communication. wul be seen that the New Era has been •wected as THE organ for the publication of the official reports of the proceedings of the Convention.

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.

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: Hall of Georgia Convention, January 21 1868.

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. S3. 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. ron, Christian, of Newton: Christian, of Early* Chatters, Claiborne, Cobb, of Hous ton ; Dews, Flynn, Fort, Foster, of Pauld ing?

Charleston, Jan. 20.—To-day the Con vention was occupied in receiving resolu tions, all of which were referred to the committees for action. The first business probably will be the report of the commit tee providing for the payment of the mem- ben and officers of the body. Among the resolutions is one which proposes that all State institutions, universities, public schools and colleges shall open their doors to negroes; another, that negroes shall be, admitted at hotels and places of entertain ment. Propositions are abundant to relieve the people from indebtedness. Virginia Convention. Richmond, Jan. 20.—In the Convention, among the resolutions this morning, there waa one for disfranchising ex-mem bers of Congress and all State and city of ficers, from Governor down to policemen. It was laid over. Tbe eighth section of tho Bill of Rights was adopted after the defeat of an amend ment declaring suffrage inherent, by a vote Of 47 to 80. The amendment offered to the Bill of Rights Saturday, declaring Virginia a co equal member of the General Government, and entitled to all tlie benefits and subject to all the burdens as other States, was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Arrival of Gen. Grant. General Grant and lady arrived here this afternoon, and is stopping with Post master Sharp, Grant's brother-in-law. Among other trustees of the Peabody fund who have arrived, are Ex-Governor Fish, Samuel Wetmore, of New York, Wm. A. Graham, of North Carolina, John H. Gifford, G. W. Riggs, ot Washington, and William C. Rives, of Virginia. Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina, arrives to-mor row in time for the meeting of the trus tees at the Spottswood Hotel. Congressional. Washington, Jan. 20.—Senate—Among the memorials, is one from the City Coun cil and Chamber of Commerce of New* Or leans, relative to lands for building the Opelousas and Orleans Great Western Road. The Secretary ol the Treasury was called on for vessels purchased during the war and their cost. The Senate reiused to recede from its cotton tax amendment. Wade appointed Messrs. Sherman, Conkling and Morrill for the conference. The Senate refused to recede from its amendment to the anti-contraction bill. Committee of Conference was ap pointed. The consideration of the case of Senator Thomas, from Maryland, was resumed, and, without action, the Senate went into ex ecutive session and adjourned. Mouse.—Among the bills introduced was one to compel Bteamboats to carry the new- invented fire exterminators. One to amend the bankrupt law. One to pay of ficers, musicians and soldiers for horses lost during service. Several regarding immunities of American citizens abroad. Tho reconstruction bill was resumed.— Mr. Butler’s amendment, vacating the of fices and allowing the Conventions to fill them, failed without reaching a vote. 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 citizens are worthless, and suggests care in their selection. Allred Kent, Postmaster at Gonzales. Texas; Wm. Hebbner, Postmaster at 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.
