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, Satarday, June 2 1877. THE PROPOSED CONVENTION On next Tuesday week, the 12th in* slant, the people of Georgia will vo e upm the Convention question. There are many already with their minds made up for or against, and many also who will treat the matter with indifference. Iu fact, we are inclined to believe the vote will be a very light one. At first we felt disposed to be in opposition to a con** rention, but after having decided to the contrary wo feel greatly strengthened in our convention opinions by the!men the people are putting forward as cans didates, everywhere apparently selecting the purest and wisest. We safe with oar interests in the hands of such men as L. J. Gartrell, Chas. T. Tenkins, Robert Toombs, Wm. M. Reese, Wm. T. Wofford, E. W. Beck, Hugh Buch anan, and others of like ability and honesty, which the pooplo have put for ward in nominations. “Good” men wiil surely piedominate to guard against “manipulations” and |the small politi cians, if they be tjiero, will “sing low.” The time is drawing near, and the to think for themselves should decide for the best, and if in duced to belieye the convention can be beneficial in releaving us of the objec tionable features in our laws and crea ting better ones for our guidance in the future, they should make The sacrifices necessary to bring about such a result and make up to cast their ballots for men in whom can be reposed the most implicit confidence, and who knowing their duty will do it to secure the welfare and prosperity of the peo ple.

The sea holds 50,000,000,000,000 tons of salt.

The Czar ought to be a popular sot* ereign, for he knows how to ride and be courteous to hii subjects. His horsemanship is perfect; although his face is seamed and careworn, in the sad dle he shows no signs of age. At Odessa, on May 2d, he noticed a poor woman by the roadside, who saluted him as he rode by. Turning in the saddle and looking back, he bowed and touched his cap to her as politely as though she were a Princess. The old King of Gaboon, in Africa, is dead, at the age of nearly one hun dred.

May 28,1877. Editor Calhoun lime* : The sensation of tho week is of courso Senator Morton’s letter concern* ing the President’s Southern policy.— It is not intended to assist Messrs Kel logg and Corbin in their efforts to se cure seats in the Senate of course, for the Senator kuows it is impossible to push those gentlemen in. The letter is meant, evidently, to put its writer in a position to take advantage of any course events may take and to keep him before the people. But adds nothing to the public knowledge of affairs ; it offers no rallying point for the scattered col umns of the Republican party. In short, one is puzzled to find any excuse for tbe writing of the letter, except it is to be considered as entirely in tie interest of Mr. Morton himself. Somo llad’cal, with a keener sense of what the necessities of the party are at this time and of the needed qualities for leadership, has now all the better op portunity to proclaim a policy. Somo* body will no doubt improve the occa sion. Morton has made it impossible for him to be the coming leader. Then came the sensation caused by the reported organization of a “Blaine party” by a hundred and fifty dissatis fied Republicans here. I believp two in every three are really of that class. Blaine, too, is their idol. But there was no meeting of consequence, and certainly Blaine had no knowledge of the movement. He is far too shrewd to have any connection with the half dozen hungry imbeciles who met to gether atid growled and hired them selves put ioto the newspapers. The meeting here of the council of t v e Ladies’ Mt. Vernon Association has shown an increased interest throughout the country in its affairs. By ar rangements now being made it is hoped to increase considerably the receipts of the Association, and at an early date to collect a fund sufficient to make the possession and preservation of Wash ington’s old home as secure as anything can be on earth. Tbe President bas deoided to retain the son of Stephen A. Douglass as Marshal of North Carolina. A few ap pointments are'decided upon from day to day, but the number of appointments so far made is in reality very small.— The removals, of course, ate still less, as vacancies occur through expiration of term, death, and, very rarely resig nation. The question arises, Grant’s appointees having been bad, why this reform administration does Dot make haste to turn them out and to fill the offices with better men ? The Ca|ital of this city, Don Piatt's paper, published Sundays, claims a reg ular circulation of over 20,000. The Suuday Herald has about 8,000 regu lar purchasers, and the Sunday Ga zette about 3,000. Theso are ail con* servative papers. The Sunday Chron icle with about 4,000 circulation is “in dependent republican” in tone. The Capital alone of Washington papers has a circulation throughout the coun try, and is the brightest and liveliest of Sunday journals. The daily papers are the National Republican and The Nation, published mornings, and the Star and Critic, evenings. The Re publican and Nation are not profitable and have very little advertising patron age. The former lived for years n government favors, and feels their with drawal sensibly. It was lately reduced in size, and appears this morning in larger type than heretofore Tbe Star circulates daily about. 17.000 copies and is excellent property It b not a po litical paper, but a newspaper. It nev er offends those in power, but does not seek government advertising at govern ment prices. The Crtio is a penny pa per, and in busy seasons 15,000 to 18,- 000 copies of its several daily editions are sold. It is supposed to be profita. ble. Very truly yours, Reno.
