The Radical Can-Ca I'm the Georgia
Legislature.

The efforts of the Radical dstruc-
tionists TO reorganize the Georgia
Legislature i'm their own interests,
presented the most disgraceful scene
that has been witnessed since the ef-
forts of the Radicals of this State to
organize their Convention inNashville
i'm May last. The Senate appears TO
have had but little difficulty in effect
ing its organization. 1t was noticed
that the negro, Aaron Alpeoria Brad
ley, who was expelled from the SEN
ale last year, and was subsequently
concerned i'm the Ogeechee insurrec-
ton near Savannah. and has been hid
ing in the North since that time, in
order TO avoid arrest, was on hand
and took his seat. 1t has been estab-
lished beyond question that this cul-
prit was, while citizen of New York,
sentenced to the penitcntiary, and
served term in that institution. In
their dire extremity the Radicals in
Georgia will take anybody who will
help them. The House of Represen-
tatives was the bear-galden Of the
occasion, and the Atlanta correspon-
dent of the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel, gives the following graphic
description of the Radical can-can:
AT twelve o'clock the members of
the House of Representative assem-
bled in their chambers, and it was
found that Bullock had appointed A.
l.. (better known as Yankee) Harris,
the State Road Supervisor, TO act as
clerk and ringmaster of the MENACE
rie in the House.
Gin the House, as i'm the Senate, the
Bullockites had gotten up printed
protest against allowing several Dem
ocrat:c members to take their SEATS
When the protest was presented,
Harris ordered Potash Farrow's
opinion on the subject TO be read,
knowing that the protest had previ-
ously been gotten up in accordance
with the views expressed by the At
torney General.
LAS soon as Harris had ordered the
opinion TO be read, j. L. Bryant, of
Richmond, rose and opposed the read
idg of the document. Harris imE,.-
diately ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms
10 arrest Bryant, and this latter Off
cial attempted TO obey the command,
assisted by Ed. Blodgett, son of the
Little Perjurer. who officiated as
volunteer OH the occasion. As soon
as these two stepped forward TO take
Bryant into custody, scene of the |
widest excitement and confusion
oommenceh. and the House of Repre-
sentatives was quickly transformed
into another pandemonium. BRYANT
very properly refused to allow him
self to be arrested by young BIodgett-
and the Sergeant at Arms. and pistols
were drawn upon him. The Demo-
cratic members, however, immediate
" rushed TO Bryants assistance. and
prevented him from being arrested
At this point the noise and confusion
was almost overwhe lining, and it was
utterly impossible TO distinguish any
thing that was said for some time af-
forwards.
FINALLY, Young Blodgett and the
Sergeai-at- Arms were run of, quiet,
comparatively speaking, was restored,
and Bryant obtaining the floor, de-

THE CONVENTION.


Last Monday the delegates elected
by The people of Tennessee, to frame
a Constitution for the State, met in
the Court House at Nashville.
Hon. 4. Q. p. Nicholson read the
proclamation of Governor Senter, an
nouncing that the vote for convention
was carried by q majority of 40, 300
Mr.. Nicholson said this was the evil
dence upon which the Convention
met, and moTed that Col. Boiling
Gordon be appointed temporary
Chairman. Col. Gordon, who was in
the Convention of 1884, was unani-
mously elected Chairman, and spoke
as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION =
For the honor conferred upon me,
uasuited as am to preside over this
body during its organization, accept
my thanks. / receive it at your hands
the more properly because / am sort
of connecting link between the past
and the present generation. l stand
before you as the sole return delegate
to this body, being one who met with
others almost on this identical spot
thirty-five years ago, to give to the
State a Constitution. Whether that
instrument has been acceptable it is
not for me to inquire, but it certainly
has 10 the great majority of the peo-
pie of the State. / was associated
with class of men who performed
great services of the State. / make
mention of Blouni, man venerable
i'm years and profound in erudition;
Walton, an upright, sensible man, who
occupied the same position in the
Convention of 90 which / occupy in
the present. To this class of men /
may add the names of Mckinney, Of
East, and Weakley, of West Tennes-
see. We had among us various dis
men, whose deeds it is not
necessary for me to recount. i may
name the venerable Francis b. Fogg,
of this city, who left his impress upon
the Constitution. But society, like
everything else, moves on, aud we
are now called upon 10 remodel that
Constitution to adapt it TO the wants
of the age. May l not invoke this
Convention, i'll which / see SO many
grey heads, and so many distinguish
ed men, to aid i'm making constitu-
tionai government which shall answer
all the ends deslgned-may / not ir-
woke yon to discharge the duties of
the occasion with credit to your
selves, and with benefit to the State?
