ATLANTA.
The Convention-Constitution Adopted-Conservative Republicans to Nominate a Candidate for Governor.
ATLANTA, March 11.—In the Convention to-day Congress was requested to pass laws to remove political disabilities from all citizens of Georgia. Yeas 102, nays 26.
A motion to adopt the Constitution as a whole was carried—yeas 112, nays 14.
Farrow made a speech before the delegates indorsing the Constitution and the Radical nominee for Governor, Bullock. This unites the respective friends of the two Radical aspirants.
Mr. Farrow, on leaving the stand, offered his hand to Colonel Carey Stiles, of the Albany News, who refused to accept it, and denounced Farrow.
The Conservative Republicans of the Convention propose to nominate a candidate for Governor. Judge Irwin, a delegate elect, who refused to sit in the convention, will probably be the nominee.
At 5 o'clock, after a day of great excitement and confusion, the convention adjourned, subject to the call of the President.
