THE CONSTITUTIONAL ooNvENTION-INDIGN

THE CONSTITUTIONAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
L. TON AGAINST THE STATE TREASURES.
ATLANTA, Dec. 23.-The Constitutional Con-
vention met this morning, but Immediately
took a recess until o'clock this afternoon in
order to give the finance committee an oppor-
tunity to negotiate loan to pay the expenses
of the convention. m
The afternoon session was exceedingly
stormy. The finance committee failed to Sc
cure loan and reported an ordinance to au-
thorize further effort, which was defeated on
the ground that nothing could be DONE The
report of the commissioner who was sent TO
4 Milledgeville to draw $4,000 from the State
Treasury was received. He says he showed
the State Treasurer the ordinance of the con-
vention with Gen. Pope's authorization and
direction endorsed upon it. The Treasurer
said he must decline paying out any money on
such authority, he being sworn to obey the
constitution and laws of Georgia, and was
bonded only to pay warrants signed by che
Governor.
During the debate that ensued one of the
delegates said the Treasurer had snubbed the
convention. Another said he "Would to, G cd
the convention would snub Pope" The negro
Bradley said the sergeant-at-arms should be
sent with file of soldiers to bring the impu-
dent Treasurer to the bar of the convention.
Another negro said, "What did they bring us
here for?D There was great confusion when
the convention adjourned. Extreme indigna-
ton is expressed by the delegates, a majority
OF whom have not money enough to pay hotel
and boarding house expenses. The convention
