trail Executive Committee adjourned this morn
Ing. The following resolutions comprise the
material part of its action:
Resolved, That for reasons founded alike upon
the llegtimacy Of its origin and Its odious char
acter, we urge upon our friends throughout the
State sternly to oppose, BY all lawful means, on
the hustings, the ratification of the Instrument
recently promulgated at Atlanta as a constitu-
stitution may be imposed upon u.s., notwith.

event II will be OF vital Importance to all
the people of Georgia TO have good and
sound men to administer the State Government
has declined the candidacy for Governor OF Geor.
gia, rendered him by this committee, and II is
deemed Impractical for want OF time to hold a
nofninating convention In which all parts Of the
State shall be fully and fairly Represented and
causes, numerous and serious entertainments
surround the question Of astrictly party nomi-
nation for Governor at the present time, for
these reasons,
make any nomination for Governor at the ap-
preaching election, and advise and urge the
Democrats and Conservatives OF the State to
cast their votes as q unit for the independent
candidate now in the field, the Hon. David Irwin.

LONDON, March 27.-In the House Of Lords
tonight, the question Of the Alabama claims
came up and gave rise TO debate. Russell re.
viewed the relations Of Great Britain and the
United States during the war of the rebellion,
and defended the policy pursued by him in the
case Of the Alabama and other confederate cruis-
ers. The course OF Lord Stanley In the contro-
versy with the American Government on the
Alabama claims, was sustained by Lord Cairns.
westburg defined the laws Of England bearing
on the question At issue, and denied the justice
Of the claims urged by Seward.
In the House Lord Stanly gave notice that on
Monday next he should offer a resolution that
the question OF Irish Church reforms be left to
the next Parliament.

The question whether this constitution has
been adopted at the recent election is still In
doubt, though the probabilities are that It has
been ratified. A dispatch received at the Rcpub-
lican committee rooms, In this city, states that
II has been carried by from three to five thousand
majority.
Per Contra, another dispatch from Democratic
sources declares that the constitution Is defeated
We may have to wait yet some days before we

WINTER AND THE CROPs-sPRINa
PROSPECTR.

We have had long, cold, and an extremely
severe winter, and It 10 by no means certain that
we have yet seen the end. The birds In this lat.
itude have heralded the approaching spring, but
these little warblers may have been rather too
hasty. Instinct Is great thing, but instinct
may sometimes be at fault. Natures laws are
peculiar, and though harnoaiousiy adjusted by
the Great Author Of all things, II 10 not ALWAYS
the province OF finite precedence to fully under
stand the operation OF natures laws, and predi-
cato with unerring accuracy just what is to
occur. All things under the control of the wise
Ruler OF the universe, which not unfreq neatly
nave the guise Of seeming evils, still working
out to their legitimate ends, produce great good.
1t not unfrcquently happens that what Expresses
us the most disastrously results In the largest
compensation in the shape of benefits. Thus

abundant crops in harvest time.
