In the course of his able speech at Atlanta last week, Hon, B. H.

To the Editor of the Register: In the communications which I recently submitted to the consideration of your readers perhaps more space was consumed than was necessary to show the propriety of separating the State from the Federal elections. The subject is of very great importance, to the well being of the people of this State, aud reudered Immensely so by the legislation of Congress, which has placed the supervision of the Federal eleotions under the control of Fetleral officers. That legislation was conceived in hostility to the pejple of the South, aud is based on the assumption that our people are disloyal to the government of the United States, aud therefore cannot be trusted to manage the elections of their own representatives in malteis of Federal concern. Experience has shown that this theory has been carried into practice, and Federal power has been ruthlessly employed to control elections both Federal and S'ate. There is a man now in the- United States Senate cl liming to be Seiia'or from Alabama George E.

Spencer who is there by that sort of interference In our domestic concerns. Certainly the cose Is not calculated to conciliate our favora ble regard to this interference, aud is more than sufficient to overcome any argument wulcn may oe urawu irom the convenience of navlng the elections held on one aud the same day. The convenience of the thing is no answer to the danger which the practice creates nothing short of the loss of the independence of our people in their domestic concerns. Theory and experience then imperatively require the separation; aud this separation can only be obtained by the call of a Convention. It cannot beobtalned in any other way.

It cannot be obtained by proposing to the people as an article of amendment to their Constitution, to change the time of election, because such course requires a two-thirds vote of each House of the General Assembly; and the Conservatives do not possess that amount of strength in the General Assembly. If they had that strength, it wpuld he voted ou by our people, only at a general election, and such general election can only be held at a time when a Federal election 13 held, and when will be brought into Operation all the Influences of Federal power and agenclej to defeat the scheme, and we will be Obliged to vote upon the amendment under all the adverse influences Of which we are seeking to rid ourselves, in order that our people may vote freely, and be relieved of these adverse influences Now It happens that to call a Convention, only a ma jority is required in the Legislature; wuereas, to propose a speciuc amenu-ment, a two-thirds vote Is required. The evil cannot be cured by tbe Legislature making the elections for State offices to be held the Intervening veafs: because the tkinstitutlon as it now stands declares that the terms of office of the members of the General Assembly begin on the day after the general election, Tbe present members Of tbe General Assembly, by the Constitution, bold their office till the day after the general election in 187S, Tbe Legislature can neither lengthen nof shorten their term. If It passed a law providing for their election in it would shorten their term one year, because the terms of the newly elected members commence on theday after their election. It seems, then, very clear there Is no mode of making a change in the time of elections except by the agency of a convention.

If, therefore, the necessity of separating the State from the Federal elections is as great as the writer believes, and lias attempted to show it to be, tbe argument In favor of a Convention would, from this one topic alone, become unanswerable.

Election Day The Blobiio Aiegister. It was foreign to our purpose to "ac cuse the Register of captiousuessor to intimate a doubt of its earnest de sire for a change of the present Constitution.

At any rate we did not be lieve that any other thau the most patriotic motives prompted its criticism of the points at issue, and if our language couveyed a different idea it did injustice to our thbuchls. With this explanation we introduce the following manly utterances from the Register of May The Register has said that the question of changing the daw for State election is one of those lesser questions which do not offer a vital ob jection to the existing Constitution, rue lace tnat tms ques uou is not alluded to in the Legislative Report. confirms our opinion. It appeared to us tnat tne discussion or tins, question is ot sucn propriety tnao, not having a copy of the Constitu tion at hand when the subject was mentioned a few days ago. we did not think it Important to glance at its provisions wun respect to election day.

The comment of the Montgomery "Advertiser" upon the suggestion thrown out by us as to holding the State election on alternate years with the Federal election, while conclusive as to the ineonvenieJce of doing so under the existing Constitution, does not convince us that it is good policy to put this question in the foreground while so many more important questions are left in the bacb-grouna. The question is uudoubtedly a most important one, as is so clearly shown by our correspondent "Amicus," in our issue of this morniug and our desire to have united action all along the lines is such that we refrain from discussing certain features of it which are open to oat and patriotic criticism. wune recognizing tue importance of this and the other questions treated of in Governor Houston's speech and In the report of the Executive Committee, we repeat that we have far totter and stronger grounds than these to stand upau. Upon the propriety of retaining the Lieutenant Governor and Commissioners of Industrial Be-aourctaj upon the propriety of retaining a Board of Education with simply ministerial powers, and upon the propriety of letting the election day alone, there is wide difference of opinion among men whose patriotism and devotion to the Democratia and Conservative cause cannot be questioned. But upon other questions thore is no difference of opinion.

We would inform the Advertiser that we have not been remiss In bringing thoseother and vital questions uelore (lie people. The preservation of State oredit by taking away from the General Assembly the power to abuse and destroy it; tho relief of corporations from the personal liability clause; the enlargement and liberalization of the Judiciary: tho restriction of the State debt to a certain limit, and tho refusal of alt power to the uenerai Assembly to increase taxes beyond a certain amount, are the greut questions which render necessary a State Convention. In this dlecueslou The Ilegitter has no wish or design to be captious. We simply fear from the apathy which exists among our party, mat mis question of a Convention has not thus far been pat in its strongest light. But does not that word "Inconveni ence" in the first paragraph "draw it a little mild?" The South and the Centennial.

The of July 1778 Was rendered immortal by Southern men. Where-eveHt read the Declaration of Independence is associated witb the name of Thos. Jefferson.
