AN ACCOUNTING CHOICE.

The Memphis (Tenn J Appeal re-
lates the following in its account of
the recent burning of the steamer
Governor Garland in the Arkansas
river. Captain Nowland's conduct
was heroic. Finding it impossible
to rescue his wife aud two children,
he was compelled to forsake either
the former or the latter. He had no
time to hesitate, for the flames were
already scorching the passengers.
Captain Rowland kissed his little
children farewell, and selling his
wife plunged into the water. He
looked back, but the children he
could not see, for his eyes filled with
tears, such as only a father or moth
er can know the meaning of. A
deck hand, named Billy Staples,
whose home is in Memphis, witness
ed the sad farewell. Selling both
the children in his strong arms, the
brave man leaped into the water
and carried them safely to the shore.

u Atlanta Constitution has won tor itself The
title of the leading Journal of the South. It's

THE Constitutional Convention to
assemble in July, next, ought to be
composed of not only our most SEN
sible, prudent and best men, but our
very ablest men should be sent to it,

The action of such a Convention is
not like that of Legislature, whose

can be corrected in year or two.
On the contrary, it is intended and
expected of such a Convention to do
work that will wear we'll and last
we'll for fifty or one hundred years,
or more. Very important questions
have to be acted upon and settled
hence we should obtain ell the wis

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The plan proposed for tho selection
Of delegates to the constitutional con
ventiou, is as follows:
There is to be District conven-
ton to nominate Delegates. In this
convention Fulton will have twelve,
Cobb eight, and Clayton four Dele
gates. This convention will proceed
under the usual two-thirds rule, and
nominate Delegates to the constitu-
tional convention, and will nominate
one from Clayton, two from Cobb
and five from Fulton, leaving one as
a hoater, to be selected from the
whole District. Each of the coun-
ties may offer candidate before the
nominating convention for the Floa-
ter, and by this arrangement the
Floater can not be nominated but by
the consent of at least portion Of
two counties, or by two counties as
it will take l6 votes to nominate the
Floater. We have heard the above
plan discussed and 30 far as we are
able to ascertain, it will give general
satisfaction if adopted. Besides we
have heard the name of j. w. Rob>
ertson, of Roswell, suggested as a
suitable candidate for the Floater,
especially as he represents the man,
ufacturing interests, and is in every
way a worthy, able and good man.
Should the selection fall on him,
Clayton will be satisfied. However
we shall claim the right to put in our
nominee for FIoater if we see props
or to do so. -J0n6SbOr0 Meas.
Under the Constitutional Conven-
ton bill passed by the last Legisla-
ture the 35th Senatorial District is
entitled to nine delegates one to
every six thousand inhabitants. Ac
cording to this apportionment Fulton
is entitled to a fraction over five del
egates, Cobb fraction over two,
and Clayton fraction over one. 1t
is insisted, that Cobb under these
figures, is not entitled to three, and
that the ninth delegate should repre-
sent the fractions in tho three coun-
ties, who should be classed as "hoat-
err" The question is, what county
shall furnish tho floater Clayton
county suggests Col. J. W. Roberts
son, of Roswell, county>line man
between Fulton and Cobb, claiming
that his known integrity and ability
qualities him for The position, and
that he will represent the interest of
one county as much as another, as
the Constitution is to be for the whole
people and not a part. 1t is assur'
ed that Col. Robertson will be ac~
ceptable also to Fulton as he will be
to Clayton and Cobb. OF course
wrangling and petty jealeuses are to
be obviated and the best thing 10 do
is to define some line of policy that
will amicably settle the disputed
question of who is entitled to the odd
delegate. We believe Cobb is, and
it will be just as acceptable to US to
have him styled ''hoater" as
dalaoata
