This announcement will ell every trooly
loil heart with joy. Several Of the lead
ing Republicans Of Atlanta have already
called on Private Fluggins, and the New
Fry is to have a poem on Drum-major
Thump in the morning. It begins; +
"Oh! Thump, my noble Thump,
Thou art going to the Rump
That holds sway
Bless the day
Over all America;
But remember the Era,
When thou art far away,
For its very fond Of Pay; i
So don't forget thy friend,
When at thy journeys end,
Noble Thump!'
The whole poem is very beautiful.
There are also other indications Of patriot
ic fervor in this connection in various quar-
tiers, but time does not permit me to dwell
upon them as would, though I may say
that the prevalent sentiment here is that
we stand by General Meander as long as
the money holds out. The new constita.
ton progresses finely. Five lines have
been adapted in three days. There is to
be no Imprisonment for debt, and as soon
as the convention passed that section, it
went ont and bought enough paper collars
and red eye on tick to run it year. This
is true wisdom. A disloyal man attemp-
ted to read an ordinance the other day
against miscegnatlon. Mr.. Bryant said Il
'carn't allow it," Mr.. Richardson said, ~
wun't' stand it." Mr.. Bradley flied his
eye-glass on the offender, and had him
bro ught to the bar Of the house. The
Committee of the Whole sat on him. This
action fully demonstrates the mingled pow.
er and magnanimnity Of the best Govern
ment the world ever saw. In the language
Of the Fry, when hard up for something to
say, s'this is as should be-" Miscegnation
is one Of those relief measures by which we
hope to carry the new constitution. qhe
conservative members Of the convention
are going to withdraw Christmas Con-
stitutionalist.
