If subscribers move to other pi s are sent notifying publishers, and the paperd responsi to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. 6. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” 6.

If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue tak ing it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to and it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher , Saturday, April 28. 1877. [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. Til E TIMES. A bill offeting a bounty of five cents for every rat killed in the State has pas-ed the Missouri Legislature. Divorces cost $5 each in Nevada. The family of Ex President John ston will erect a monument over his grave. A portrait of JMFersou Davis adorns the War Department gallery iu Wash ington. A representative ia Congress wod J 5500,000 from a rich Californian, at poker, during the last session -of Con gress. - 1 Thursday, April 26, will be the fifty eighth anniversary of the establish ment of Odd Fellowship in the United States. Strawberries arc in the market in Cincinnati and only worth a dollar a piece. Germany still sends us the most em igrants. Of 7,250 who arrived during the first quarter of the present year 1,085 were from Faderland. The exact quantity of national bank notes and greenbacks now in circula tion is not known, but it is approxi matively about $665,000,000. The legislature of Minnesota has passed a bill authorizing women to practice law in all the courts of the State. Since the accession of Queen Victo ria to the British throne, forty years ago, it is calculated that eighteen mem bers of the royal family, including the Queen’s uncles and cousins, have cost the nation £20,217,000, or about £lOl,- 085,000. Prominent Europeau capitalists have been negotiating for some time, and at last successfully, with the Land Com* missioners of Florida for $8,000,000 worth of orange lands. They intend to bring into the State 2,000 or 3,000 hardy farmers from England, Germany, France and Italy. The bee pastures of California em** brace a very large area of country, ex tending from South Barbara, in a nar row belt, to Lower California. This land is very precipitous, and the bee keepers are in no danger of being.en croached upon by civilization tor many years. San Diego county alone shipped last year 100 tons of pure honey. The exports of fresh beef continue to increase. The quantity shipped to Great Britain from New York and Philadelphia in March amounted to 6,* 707,355 pounds, valued at $590,085, making a total in nine months ot 29,- 908,810 pounds, valued at $2,677- 383. The site of the monument erected at Karakakoa Bay, in the island of Owhy hee, to the memory of Captain Cook, is to be improved, and twelve old 32* pounders are to be taken to the Sand* wich Islands for the purpose of build, ing a suitable fence. The monument is a plain concrete obelisk, twenty feet high, and stands on the spot where the great navigator was killed by the na tives on the 14th of February, 1779. The roll-call of the next House in dicates a Democratic majority of about twelve. Thus far of the 293 certifi cates 285 have been received. Clerk Adams has not completed his list or given any authority to any one to state its composition. His duties under the law are very plain and simple, and he proposes to execute them in deciding on the prima facie rights of the mem bers of the next House. The ques tions involved in the case of the Col* orado member have not been disposed 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. Very truly, Reno. You say consumption cannot be cured.
