lutions were adopted by the State
Convention of Georgia, held in At

WHEREAS, The peculiar condition
of the colored people in the South

judgment Of this Convention, de-
mand a more practical understand

now assembled, do authorize the
President of this Convention to is
sue call, in the name of the said

Having been deputed, in pursuance
of the above resolution, as President
of the Georgia State Convention, and
by the endorsement of the distinguish
ed gentlemen whose names are sub
joined, we do hereby call the above
named Convention to meet in the city
| of Columbia, South Carolina, ON the
! 18th day of October, 1871, at twelve
o'clock NJ.
As the Convention did not advise as
to what sliould constitute the ratio OF
| representation, we suggest that the
respective States be representatively APP
pJrtione,l the same as they are in the
Congress Of the United States, to wit,
One delegate from each Congressional
District, and two from the District OF
Columbia. The several Congressional
Districts will elect their own delegates,
which elected delegates may meet and
elect two for the State at large, unless
The respective States shall otherwise
provide by State Conventions.
Those who may be accredited as
delegates, should meet the Convention
prepared to remain in session one
week, if necessary, as questions requir-
ing mature deliberation will doubtless
come before it, and should not be dis
posed of precipitently.

JOE COBURN TAKEN DOWN.

The New York Sun of recent date
relates this incident:
i On Thursday night Sun reporter
dropped in refreshment saloon in six.
ty-ifth street and Second avenue, where
he found Joe Coborn holding forth to
an awe-struck audience. 1t seems that
Coburn had infringed on the order of
Jones Wood on that day, and bet rath-
er heavily on Fitzgerald as the winner
Of the "long race" Fitzgerald had
about two years ago carried off the
first prize at this race, but has on the
last two occasions been distanced by
others. This was too much for Joe, so
he felt very irate at the whole race of
Scots. A brawny and stallwart Scot,
in full highland costume, stepped upon
the scene. Him Joseph instantly seized
as a most fit object on whom to vent
his wrath toward the whole Scottish
faction. He rudely seized Sawney by
arm, and told him that he could click
any Scotsman on the grounds" The
Scotsman told him coolly there was a
doubt on the subject, and ordered him
to remove his hands.
"Do you know who | amp" reared
Joe.
NO." beloved the other, "nor do l
care"
I" am Joe Coburn"-
Before Joe could finish the sentence
he found himself face upward on the
floor. Once, twice, thrice Joe tried
to recover his ground, but in vain.
Bafiled in his great energy, Joe thought
it was high time to resort to some
other weapons to decide the difficulty
in his favor; but the cool and why
Caledonian seemed instinctively to
know Joe's intentions. Taking hold
Of Joe's cropping dexter, he shook his
head depreciatingly, and said:
ma, ma, mon; We munna do that.
Pistols dinna mind a flea for"
Saying which he gave Joe's hand
wrench and squeeze. Joe started to
lis feet, and after little bursting and
preliminary explanation, offered to treat
he whole party.
