It will be seen that tho business In the
staple Is still very light. Sales yesterday
did not reach fifty bales, while the re
ceipts fell short of twenty. No improve

large crops. But after home supplies of

Last evening, at the residence of Col.
W. L. Salisbury, was celebrated the mar

Campbell, of the Baptist church. Them
were no attendants, but the happy young
oouple wore surrounded by noarest rela

bright this first hour of their wedded life
by sincere blessings and warm eongratu

the bridegroom is a brilliant young edi

What ails our neighbors over the river?
We hear of much noise, some cross words
and a little hostile movement of hands
This is all wrong, neighbors; you have
too nice and orderly a community over
there, to lot your "angry passions arise,”
and create a disturbance. When neigh
bors fall out in a small town It Isa source
of constant regret and embarrass
ment, for they must necessarily,
meet dally; and frequently many times
a day,and It Is always unpleasant to come
in frequent contact with those with whom
we aro at logger heads—no matter who is
most at fault. Then, get cool; make up;
stay cool—“don’t do so anymore;” any of
you, and ton years hence you will all feel
better.
In five minutes of thoughtless heat,
men sometimes do wiiat it takes ten years

A New Same at llaae Ball.
Wu understand that some enterprising
bodies have introduced anew game at the
Base Ball Grounds. We don’t know what
name it goes by, by tho players, but it is
called the game of stealing by the unini
tiated, and It is practiced on the books of
the school boys, who are too interested in
lAeir game to watch their books. One lit
tle fellow had three of his books stolen
yesterday, and he Is mad about it. We
don’t blame him for being mad, for it was
a mean thing to do, and the one who did
It ought to be thrashed from one ond to
the other.

Business.
We were glad to see such a show of
business as was made yes tor flay on Broad
street. Wagons were being loaded at the
different provision stores, and the streets
were well lined with buggies and other
vehicles, in which ladles catno into the city
to soe what our dry goods merchants,
shoe dealers, and dressmakers could do
tor them. All must have been pleased
with what thoy saw, for we havo seldom
known a hotter showing of bundles and
packages than was made by the throng
of shoppers.
Our merchants are now offering extra
ordinary Inducements to parties wanting
goods of any kind. They have large
stocks, bought at a time when prices had
touched the bottom, and now they are
offering their customers the advantage of
their fortunate purchases.

REPORT OF MR. COX'S SPEECH.
Hamilton, Ga.. April 11, 1877.
Editor Hints:— '(hit I .useless of the
court pfog Mutes wltff the majestlo slow
ness usual to the law, and to an outsider,
it is exceedingly tiresome. The claim
docket is now under consideration and
will perhaps be gone through with today,
at any rate, the crimlual ducket will be
taken up to-morrow. It is not thought,
however, It will oonsurne more than one
day, when the civil business will be re
sumed.
In speaking of the representatives of
the Columbus bar, we omitted Col. J. F.
Pou, who is here. I was pleued to fi|ppt
a former citlnen of Columbus snd an qfd
friend, M. W. C. Ctterry nowjel N#wnfc.
Hu is mai l led nod says has the
“s-in-a-r-t-eat" baby In the world.
At noon to-day, according to appoint
ment, Col. Blandford Bpoke on the Con
vention, which was reported by the effici
ent phonographer of the court, Mr. G. Y.
Tlgner, for the Times, and which I will
forward you by the next mail. It was an
able and eloquent effort, eliciting frequent
applause.
By invitation of ttie people of Harris,
Hon. Albert 11. Cox, of Troup, last uight
also spoke on tho Constitutional Conven
tiyo, to a fui£ audience. He was prefaced
and in trod need in a short, but well timed
speech, b'y lion. L. L. Stanford. I will
give you an imperfect report of this gifted
young orator’s remarks, but of course
cannot infuse Into it tho Itery eloquence
that accompanied its delivery. Ho said:
Fellow Citizens: I thank you for the
compliment of requesting my views upon
tho Convention issue, and I appreciate the
interest in that subject which your pres
ence exhibits. The issue demands and de
serves the most earnest consideration,
and while, for the interest of the ladies, I
might be tempted to.try the gathering ofr
garlands of spoeefc, and while*, if I were
an Ivapho* In oratory, it WOldAe
ant Indeed to coat a wreath pit Die tout of
Southern ltewetias, meii Cf i [arris, my
argument is to you!
To change tho fundamental law of a
State is the greatest of propositions; for
a Constitution is to the State Government
what the roots are to the tree. If well Un
bodied in good soil, the tree flourishes,
the roots themslvos become stronger, and
the fruit Alls out to perfection. If not so,
tho fruit is corrupt and tho tree must
perish. So a Constitution, if properly
Implanted in principle, gives vitality and
Jruit ty, all-the. branches of government;
the \ykdlrformed tree Is a shade to the
people; it grows stronger and stronger in
their affections and lives a blessing to all.
But an evil Constitution fruits In corrup
tion and should die.
The present Constitution is a contradic
tion to tho fundamental principle of free
government, which is announced to be
the "government of tho people, and by
the people, and for tho people." This
Constitution was of a faction, by a faction,
and for a faction, and that the vilest fac
tion known to record. Thu Convention
which framed it was itself a product of
usurping power; was ordered to assemble
by a stranger in arms In a land where
government is held to be at the will of
the people governed; was made a necessi
ty by tbe destruction of a State which
helped to create the power which destroy
ed her and Commissioned them; and was
composed of enfranchised ignorance and
aliens to our soil and far further aliens to
our sentiments. Thla Constitution of Geor
gia Is not the Constitution of Georgians.
The present Constitution wrongly de
fines the relation of Georgia to tho Feder
al centre. It prescribes, in Article 11, Sec
tion 11, that "should this Constitution be
ratified by tho people, and Congress accept
the same, with any qualifications or condi
tions, the Government provided for and
the officers elected shall exist and continue
In the exercise of their eoverul functions as
the government of this State, so far as
the same may be consistent with the action
of the United States in the premises. Surely
such doctrine is heresy to Georgia; it is
contrary to our politics, our precedents
and our principles. The Congress has by
no grant tbe power to dictate u Constitu
tion to Stab's. That proposition once
granted, our theory of government is
wrecked. Even tire Republicans of the
Joint High Commission are recorded
against suoh a monstrosity. Secession is
burled, state sovereignty Isparalized; but
State rights, under the Constitution, not
under Congress, is still sound doctrine
North and South.
If the people of Georgia refuse to call
a convention, they ratiry the present
Constitution. They perpetuate it in our
history as endorsed by thorn; they
estop themselves from honorable recur
rence to that trying time who* unawed
by power and unsoducod by btiiio, they
stood fast and true to their honor be
cause to their principles. Shall this be
done? In the name of your honor, your
.history full of tried and true honor, for
the sake of your country to bo preserved
only by principle. I entreat you no!
But there are many reasons for a con
vention, especially practical to our own
people. Different thinkers advocate
diverse measures. This conflict is
natural, is best, for every proposition
should be weighed, but forms no ground
for opposing the main movement—rather
theopposlte, as showing that from various
promises the same sequence is reached
that there should be a convention, If the
people will but do their whole duty to
themselves in selecting their delegates,
they may rest satisfied that a better Con
stitution will be adopted than that advo
cated by any one man. The sensible sug
gestions of all will be brought to a focus
on the work, and the result, I make no
doubt, will be a high mark of the provi
dent patriotism of the good people of
Georgia.
I would suggest that the lower House of
Representatives be reduced to about one
hundred. My observation has been that
the Senate of Georgia transacts business
with far more dispatch than the House.
In the one (and with tho best presiding
officer I ever saw) there is confusion, mul
tiplicity of quibbles, and tangled manage
ment; not, I think, attributable to mem
bers, but numbers—for the members of
the House compare pretty favorably with
the members of the Senate. In business
at $1,225 per day, efficiency Is economy.
But it is said, the lesk done the better.
Very well; let the efficiency be directed to
killing bills. At last, Representatives are
sent as servants of the people to work—
and to work on important matters; and
that plan is best which secures the proper
work—done be6t—done with most absence
of turmoil—done with most efficiency.
t*f' the Constitution, by all means, fix
tho pay; and eliminate from stump dis
cussion tho thome of the prolific dema
gogue-which ho often takes the place of
grave dlifloksfon ot Important principles
and measures—and retrench tho breath of
the General Assembly on a subject about
which so much is said and so It ills done.
And this will all be economy.
Our business demands a change. The
homestead Is a subject of grave Impor
tance. It underlies everything. It stretch
es from our Northern border to Florida,
and across tbs other way. The present
Homestead was calculated os a bribe to an
impoverished people to secure support to
the Constitution. The real people of
Georgia scorned the bribe. It was fixed
too high to have beeu honestly intended.
The real and noble purpose of a right ex
emption Is a life boat sent out to a wreck-
It is not sound State policy to have It so
large that Its prospective shelter will
tempt carelessnoss|iii contracts or reckb s
iioes Ln business, nor after taken, to Insure
a support without the most active Indus
try. But it is sound State policy to have
it known that no subsidy Is given to sy
barites—that labor to live is Georgia's law
as well as God’s law.
The Homestead destroys confidence.—
What does that mean? It means that ln
business good pay Is charged an enor
mous per cent, oil actual value to cover
the margin of loss created by bad pay.
This Homestead destroys securities, or at
least beclouds the general value or securi
ties ana htdgjjtegs What dues this,
mean? li means high interest always at
tcridaat on bod securities and legal uncer
tainties ; it means languishing commerce;
it means that the body of business Is
cramped and cold for want of a healthy
circulating medium. It destroys competi
tion ami creates monopolies; it Is notori
ous that men of small capital can do no
general business. The system makes the
poor poorer, for his property is a
corpse; and the rich richer, for his capital
is in undue demand. There should be an ex
emption houorublc to bold—a poor man’s
homestead, not a rich man's luxury. Let
It be small—say SSOO to $750 for each head
of a family (consisting of two) and for each
child or independent reiativo, SIOO addi
tional, in such property as the debtor
wight select, being equitably adjusted to
to the necessity ot applicants.
, The effect of such a homestead would
be to tend toward farms of small area—to
intensive, not extensive culture—a state
of things forming the first factor In a
really progressive and developing agri
culture— the basis of all other industries.
Nor should the educational interests of
the State be neglected. All statistics show
that education prevents crime—that edu
cation prevents pauperism—that a fright
ful percentage oi criminals and paupers
are of the uneducated masses.
To preserve and to elevate the charac
ter of our peopto; to augment labor force
by allying brain force with it; to make
competent to the high privilege the fature
sovereigns of our State, now tho children
of the State -these objects are worthy
our deepest seHcUsdo.
People of Georgia, there was once dis
covered a fraud in Georgia. By solemn
act of Assembly, fire was caught from
heaven to destroy the fraud. This Con
stitution is and was a fraud enforced on
the people of Georgia, and I would I had
tho power to draw down the flames to
consume it—to destroy it from our histo
ry and destroy It to our memories.
