[Aft TO A CONVENTION.
The Convention issue is prominently
before the people, and but a few weeks
more and the people will vote upon it.
The question as to whether our Consti*
tution shall be remodeled shall have
then been put at rest, now and ulti
mately. When the matter of a Con
vention wad first discussed its inexpe*
diency was questioned by a great many.
Our laws were not exactly what the
country needed, yet when the matter of
changing them was thought ot, there
were great fears that they might be
made even worse. For this reason, the
reason of its expense to the State, and
other reasons, it has been opposed, but
we candid’y believe, judging a great
deal from the feeling in our immediate
feection that the sentiments of the peo
ple are rapidly changing, and we would
not be surprised, though the contrary
has been continually asserted, if Gordon
county should vote for the holding of a
Convention. Even those strongest in
opposition to the Convention willingly
admit that our laws could be made bet*
ter, yet the mode of changing them is
where they differ in opinion from those
who want a Convention, many urging
the suggestion that amendments made
by our legislative body can bring about
the changes needed in a less expensive
way than by the holding of a Conven*
tion. Yet this body has hammered
away with its annual sessions and amidst
a good deal of gas and confusion have
not made a change worthy the enconi*
urns of their constituency who sent
them there, and it is not likely in the
sessions to come under the present man
ner of their legislation that they will
improve on their past works. Every
one, almost, admitting that these
changes are necessary to our prosperity
as a people, the idea that the people
cannot trust good men of their selec
tion to leave the good points in f heir
laws and supplant those objectionable
with better ones, suited to our present
conditions and requirements, should be
abandoned. If our laws, as a whole,
are even good, they were made by a
carpet bag Radical faction, at a time
when our best men had but a weak
voice in the framing of such instru.
ments as a State Constitution and now
that the State has been some time since
full} redeemed from the corruption
which then reigned in high places,
and we look to a prosperous future, the
pride of every Georgian should be
aroused to call our best citizens to the
front to give us such laws as we need
in our own right, unadulterated, and
meeting the necessities of the times.
As to the expense of a Convention, it
is more than likely our Legislative sys
tem would be changed to sittings less
often, and this alone would soon save
to the State thii expense, and while be
lieving that a Convention would benefit
the State in many ways we earnestly
urge upon the people in voting for del
egates in caso a Convention is to be
held they should support only the best
men the country contains, and men
with whom they could trust with su
preme satisfaction their every public
interest. The selections will be few
out of a great many, and if every voter
will put upon bis ticket only men whose
honesty and capacity will meet the re*
quiremeuts there will be no danger that
a Convention if called will not give
us a Constitution Georgians will be
proud of.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Mr. llayes Without a Political
Home Shall the Democrats
Pity and Forgive Him—Old
Ben Wade— You Give Johnson
his Mileage-Personal, Etc.
Washington, D. C. April 23,1877.
Editor Calhoun limes :
Though we may imagine President
Hayes to have the wisdom of Solomon,
the prudence and patriotism of Wash
ington, and the infinite assurance of
Blaine, we still cannot understand how
under existing circumstances he can
become the head of anew party or
maintain his standing in the Republi
can organization. Ho has takeu a po
sition on good Democrat ground just
now, and is attempting to induce his
friends to follow him, but it may as
well be understood that this is merely
an accession to the Democratic strength
and by assuring that party of future
victory, will consolidate instead of dis
organizing it. The fear, still felt by
some, that Democrats will assi-t Mr.
Hayes in organizing the next House—
snricnder to him after he has made
himself powerless to injure them—is
idle. The geuuine representatives of
the people will accept from Hayes
“with thanks,” any assistance he may
have the power to give in restoring the
government of the country to Constitu
tional methods, but he and his friends
must come as followers and not as dic
tators.
He has also put himself beyond the
hope off dure favor from bis own par
ty, and though he has not formally en
rolled himself among Democrats, he
ca l have no political associates hereaf
ter except with them. The Republi
cans would have forgiven him many
offences, but the one he committed was
unpardonable. He restored Constitu
tional Government to two States.
The text of old Ben Wade’s letter,
attacking Hayes, is published this
morning. It is very bitter, but the
onlj offense charged against the Pres
ident is his supposed abandonment of
the
litical letter whteh, in a time like this,
does not touch upon the peace of the
country or the happy restoration of le
gitimate government in the South, but
eonfines itself to a growl over mere
party lossea. Everything goes to show,
however, thet the bulk of the Repub**
lican party take the same view of af*
fairs as Wade, and will make war to
the knife on the man ‘‘who meditates
the destruction of the party which
elected him.”
The final collapse of Packard’s leg
islature on Saturday had its humorous
features. One of the Africans named
Johnson who went over from the rump
Legislature to that of Governor Nich
ols seems to have expressed in a few
words the desires of Southern Repub
licans. Said Mr. Johnson : “All 1
say is, just you give Johnson his mile
age, and let him go home.”
No more wine will be used on any
public occasion at the White House
during the term of this administration.
This change is said to be the work of
Mrs. Hayes. Whether this is proper
or not, it is certainly better than what
was once done—distributing cham
pagne to high government officials, and
cheaper liquors to others at the same
entertainment.
Washington spring weather is such
as cannot be excelled, and we are now
in the enjoyment of it at its best.
