Georgia and Tennessee.

A few days since Mr.. Nisbet, a
member of the Georgia Legislature
from Dade county, introduced a Sc
reis of resolutions proposing the ap-
pointment of Commissioners to visit
the Convention and Legislature of
this State for the purpose of negotiat-
ing for the transfer of the State of
Georgia of the city of Chattanooga,
and that part OF our territory there
unto adjacent. As counter propo-
sition, Mr.. James, of Hamilton, intro
duced i'm the House of Representa-
tives on Monday, a preamble and Sc
ries of resolutions proposing the ap-
pointment of Commissioners to visit
Atlanta for the purpose ofnegotiating
with the State authorities OF Georgia,
whether civil or military is not speci-
fled, for large slice of Northwestern
Georgia. 1t Will be seen that the res
lutions of Mr.. James, which are pub
lished in full in our Legislative pro-
ceedings, pledge to all residing with

of civil and constitutional liberty en-
joyed by the citizens of Tennessee,
without regard to race, color, or
previous condition of militaryservi-

neighbors that Tennessee has not the
romotest idea of parting with her
City of the Mountain and the Flood.
1t would certainly be more in conso-

Death Of Burlingame.

Arson Burlingame, of Massachu-
sets, late the American Minister to
China, died recently in st. Petersburg,
Russia. He was native of Chenango
county, New York, where he was born
i'm 1922. He was educated in univer-
sity in Michigan, but studied law and
wasSadmitted to practice in Boston.
lie was member of the Thirty-fOurth,
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Con-
crosses. He was appointed Minister
to China by Mr.. Lincoln, in 1861. He
became so popular with the Chinese
that, after his resignation as the Ameri-
can Minister, they accredited him as
their agent to the leading Courts in
Europe, as well as to this country. In
his politics he was an early Ablitionist,
and, in the days of bleeding Kansas,
shrieked as loudly as any man in the
country. When the war, which his
violent and incorporate course had
helped to kindle, came on, he made
haste to leave our shores, preferring a
rich embassy abroad to risking his
precious person in the strife he had
provoked. He was a fluent speaker,
and possessed considerable ability, but
he neverrose to the dignity of states

Prince Arthur i'm New York.

Prince Arthur has now been with
us for a week, or all but a week. He
has behaved very, very well. We
had no absurd expectations but our
expectations have been met in a very
agreeable shape. The Prince has
seen the best of New York society,"
Our best people have been kind,
thoughtful, considerate. The Prince
has been sensible, wise, judicious.--
We have all learned to admire a
young, well bred, well conditioned
gentleman. We do think that Prince
Arthur, on the other hand, has had
good reason to admire our New York
society. We have every reason to
believe that he does. In the Princes
Judgment New York has no cause to
be ashamed of London. Whatever
may be the future of Prince Arthur,
he will never have any reason to
think or speak lightly of our Repub-
lican institutions, at least in so far as
these are reflected in our better social
centres. This, however, does not
fully state the case. New York is
VIGOROUSLY the hotbed of Fenianism,
although we do not know if there be
a live Fenian in our city. Some Jour-
mails, disposed to talk wildly always,
did speak of Fenianism,and did go
the length of suggesting danger
With lively remembrance of Fenian
troubles in Great Britain, and not
wholly forgetful of his brother AL
fred's experience i'm Australia, Prince
Arthur, if he had not, might have had
some fear to show himself in our
street, without body guard. But he
has shown himself, he has walked
our streets, he has driven through
our magnificent Park, he has gone to
our theatres, he has even been brave
enough to appear at our fireman's
ball. and no voice has been rude, no
hand has been rough, except in the
way of hearty greeting. We have
no doubt that the Prince is a good
and faithful correspondent, at least
to his excellent mother, Each sue
cessive mail, and occasionally tele.
graphic despatch, conveys to Wind
sor, or Buckingham, or Osborne,
young Arthur's thoughts. 1t would
not surprise us to learn that the
Prince has been telling his mother
that he is half converted to Republic
canism. Gentlemen without titles he
hes found to be gentlemen. Ladies
without corOnets he has found to be
both beautiful and accomplished. AS
for Fenianism, he has not seen it
The warmest words he has heard, the
heartiest grips he has experienced,
he will ever associate with the SONS
or daughters of Erin. In auy case he
will have to confess that the Ameri-
can people, as whole, know and full
ly understand the meaning and prac-
tice of hospitality. Of the value of
Republican institutions it is long since
the people of Europe were convinced.
1t is something to know that we be-
gin to convince princes. Princes as
princes we care little for; but youth,
good birth, good breeding, good
looks, spirit, pluck and genuine man
hood we admire and honor.-Nesc

This gentleman, who made many
warm friends during his short sojourn
in our city, has left his more recent
home, Franklin, and taken up his abode
in the city of Knoxville, East Tennessee.
On his departure from Franklin, the
following complimentary sentiments
appeared in the RerfeW 8. ,.gs.qe 49,.
Captain III. H. Taylor, one OF our most
promising young lawyers, has left this
place for Knoxville, The Captain was a

with sincere regret of the departure of

The New Constitution.

Most of our readers have doubtless
made themselves acquainted with the
proposed inew Constitution, and formed
their opinion of its merits. 1t bears the
marks of the genius of the able and ex-
perienced men who were chosen to fran
it, and fully meets the demands of our
altered condition, and comes as near
rejecting the will of the people as could
gave been expected from body of men
embracing every variety of opinion. 1t
is infinitely superior to the old Consti-
tuition, because it enfranchises a large
number of our fellow citizens, which will
restore peace and prosperity to cur State
for all time to come. The voter is left TO
choose between the old and the new
Constitution, and who will hesitate? He
that refuses to vote for the new, chooses
the one which DISTINGUISHES about 5000
of the best citizens of the State. 1t is no
whether we could have better Consti-
tuition, but, is the new better than the
old?
Now is the time for the colOred people
to show what sentiment they entertain
for their white friends. Their political
advisers and leaders taught them in
times past that the professions of the
whites were not to be relied on; and that
no sooner would they gain power than
they would attempt to strip the colored
man of all his political privileges. Time
and circumstances have proven how un-
true and unjust their charges were. The
whites have attained power, and what
do we see? The negro reduced to a cob
dition of virtual slavery? Let the pro-
proposed new Constitution answer the
question. The cOlored man is allowed
vote upon the same footing with the
white. The white people have been true
to their pledges, and the negroes know
that they can be relied on. The Consti>
tuition is not in the least danger of being
defeated, and the united vote of the col
ored people could not affect it, and we
only appeal to them for their own good.
1t is time that they should show some
regard and respect for the whites, upon
whom they are dependent for the COM
mon necessities of life.
