Thk New Hampshire Democrats have decided to hold their State Convention at Concord on Janmry 5th. The candidates already in the field for the Governorship include lliram K. Roberts, M. N. B. Ed* gorly, W. H. Gave and Warren F. Dan iel!. Thb Mobile and Montgomery Railroad was sold on Monday, at Montgomery, under the first mortgage, and bought l»y the first mortgage bondholders for the aum of three milliona of dollars. It is said that this protects the State, which has a second mortgage, from all loss. James H. Caubten, Esq , an old and well known lawyer and claim agent in Washington City, died a few days ago, aged 87 years. Mr. Cauaten had long de voted his attention to the Fronoh Spolia tion Claims, and was assiduous in collect ing the testimony and presenting these claims to Congress. Ho was a man faith- fnl to his trusts and untiring in his work. Executive Dxp't, St a; ■ or Alabama, ) Montgomery, November, 1874.) To tike Senate and Iluuee of Hepresent/i- tises of the Stats of Alabama: Gentlemen—No preparation is so fit ting for tbo proper discharge of the im portant daties for which you have assem bled in your annual session, as an humblo thankfulness to God for his kind super vision during the past year. Our beloved State has been free from pestilence, floods, and extensive disaster to labor, and from financial convulsions, which threw such gloom over us twelve months siuco. And it is sincerely hoped tbat causes aro operating which may avert calamities which the apprehensions of somo deemed imminent. The operations of tbo financial Depart* meut of the State in her present crip pled condition are so simple, and aro so clearly shown in the reports of the Auditor And the Treasurer, acccotn- panying this message, that a reca pitulation of their contents is deemed unnecessary by me. It is proper to state, however, in this connection that the amount stated in the Treasurer’s report as total receipts for the year is exclusive of the amount set apart for common school purposes, which, by the act approved April 10, 1873, entitled an aot “to keep in each county of this State a proportion ate share of the public school money,” is paid by tho Tax Collector to the Treasurer of each county respectively, and not passing into the State Treasury, does not appear upon the books of that deport ment. The Mobile Hegister calls attention to the fact that the question of Judge Du- rell’a impeachment will Come before Con gress next winter, upon a report adverse to him by the Judiciary Committee, which censured his conduct in the judicial pro ceedings sanctioning tho Kellogg usurpa tion. The Register wonders how Mr: Stephons will meet this question. The Brunswick Appeal of Saturday says (hat James R. Lee, who was shot more than a month ago by Mr. Willis, a conductor on the Macon aud Brunswick Railroad, died Wednesday afternoon. Mr Willis, we learn, canuot bo found, was admitted to bail at the time of tho shooting in tho paltry sum four hundred dollars. It will bo re membered that Willis claimed that the shooting was accidental.; We give up much space to-day to the message of Gov. Lewis of Alabama, which contains much inforumtiou in reference t? tho finances and institutions of that State, presented in as favorable a light as possible for tho retiriug Governor’s party and still a very unsatisfactory exhibit. The Governor’s concluding remarks aro ill-natured and greatly out of date. But nobody could expeet him to be in a good humor, and we can therefore excuse this exhibition of weakness aud spleen. Two corrections of previous election reports aro rnado by late dispatches, the Second Congressional District of Vir ginia, amended returns from three coun ties show the election of John Goode, Conservative, instead of J. II. Platt, Re publican. Previous reports gave Mr. Platt a majority of 2!>4 votes. Kentucky is now reported to have elootod one Re publican to Congress—John D. White, in the Niuth District. Previous accounts claimed for the Democrats an undivided Congressional delegation from Kentucky. title learning.

Tho negroes, wo nru told, drop ped one of the nominees of thoir own color on tho day of the election, accept ing in his stoad Mr. Moreland, a white Democrat. Mr. Moreland, and 8olomon Clark, colored, were tho eaudidatos who received tlio largest number of tho votos cast. But Messrs. Ryder and Guldens, Democrats, wore declared olectod, as they had a majority of the legal votes of the Boat. This correction only affects tho persons mentioned, and does not at all weaken the proposition which wo wore making, vi/.: that confusion and compli cation arose from permitting men to vote outside their Beats. Alabama l^lalaturr! Tuesday, \ltfi. — I u tho Senate, tho committee to whom tho matter had been referred made a favorable report on tho certificates of tho four new Senators elect, and they were qualified aud took their seats. Among them was Mr. Harris, of Lee. Tho Senate completed its organ ization by tho election of tho following officers: 8. K. Brewer, Secretary; W. V. Chordavoyne, Assistant Secretary; ‘Pat Doran, Doorkooper. These were nil nom inated by Democrats. A joint committee was appointed to wait ou tho Governor and inform him of the organization of the two Houses, aud he Bout in a message, which we copy elsewhere. Iu the House, sovcrul additional mem bers presented themselves aud were sworu in. Mr. T oannelid, from a select com mittee to investigate us to what officers were needed, reported : That in tho opin ion of tho committee ono assistant clerk, one on grossing clerk, one assistant door keeper, two pages, and the employment by the doorkeeper of one fireman, would be sufficient to meot the demands of the House. A negro mem ber objected to the report, contend ing that tho Ho use would need more help than the resolutions contemplated. But the report was adopted, with a resolution to begin with a small number and increase the force if found ueoossary. The House eleoted Cicil Whiteman Assistant Clerk, Elmore Garrett Engrossing Clerk, and Mr. Kuight of Lee Aasiasant Doorkeeper. Messrs. J. E. Crows, W. Andrews aud J. 8. E*py, Democratic Representatives eloot from Barbour county, made a claim for tbeir Boats, and n resolution was offered referring tho matter to n special commit tee to exauiiuo tbo returns of the Supervi- proved February 25th, 1873, ontitlod Act to maintain the credit of Alabnina,” authorized tbo issuing, and negotiation, of one and one half million of bonds of the Htate for tho liquidation of tho exist ing indebtedness of the State. The fifth Rection of this act provides “that no bonds other than those therein authorized and those yet unsold of the issue of De cember 15th, 1871, shall be issued or sold for the liquidation of tho present indebt edness of the State, or for any other pur pose, unless ordered by subsequent legis lation. ” My special message of February 3d, 1873, in response to which this act was passed, informed the General Assembly tbat no bonds had beeu or would be issued by me under tho act of tho Gen oral Assembly, approved December 21st, 18754, entitled “An Act to maintain the credit of Alabama,” for reasons well known. Of the bonds issued under tho act ap proved 25th February, 1873, one hundred and oighty-flve have been sold to pay debts owing by the State on liabilities contracted by my predecessor iu office. Tho State has now bonds of tho issues of 1872 and 1873 to the amount of oue mil lion seven hundred thouaaud dollars, in the bauds of the following depositaries : IIonry Clews A Co., of tho city of New York, the sum of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars; Giudrut mid Bailey, as assignees in bankruptcy of the Alabama aud Chattanooga Railroad, Montgomery, Alabama, the sum of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars; Now York Guar antee and Indemnity Company, New York city, the sum of oue lmudrod and thirty thousand dollars; aud in the hands of Judah Morris, of the city of Montgom ery, Alabama, the sum of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. These bonds are hold for money advanced or owing by the Hta’e of Alabama to these several deposi taries, excopt the bonds held by Jusiali Morris. Those last are held by him to he delivered to tho trustees of the bondhold ers of tho Alabama and Chattnuoogn Hail rond ou tho compliunoo of Adnu Batch and associates with the terms of n contract entored into by them with the State of Alabama, for the sale and purchase of certain rights aud property of the State in tho said railroad. In the event of non- compliance of said Batch and associates with said contract tho trusts on which said bonds aro held ceaso, and their cus tody remitted to the Stalp. No bonds have been issued by me trailer (ho act ap proved 17tli March, 1871, entitled an act “to provide for the prompt payment of the suras now authorized by law, for tho support of tho indigent and iusnuo of the Alabama Insane Asylum, and for the maintenance of the deaf, dumb nrud blind asylum. No arrangements having been comple ted for the unnexatiou of West Florida to tho State of Alabama, with the assent of tho State of Florida under the provisions of an act of tho General Assembly ap proved 27th March, 1873, the bonds an thorized by that act have not been issued. Under tho act “to authorize the pur chase of lands and mules for the State of Alabama, to be used in connection with the penitentiary,” approved 29th March, 1873, bond* of the State to the amount of fifty thousand dollars havo been issued to Thomas WilliumH for the purposes con templated by that act, in accordance with the terms and peculiar provisions of the ruuio. Under tho sot of the General Assembly entitled an aot to provide for tho funding of the domestic debt of tho State, ap proved Decoiubor 19th, 1873, obligations of the 8tate of Alabama to the amount of one million of dollars, of tho kiud aud denomination authorized by said act,have boon issued, signed and certified into the Treasury of tho State, on which tho semi-annual interest has beeu paid us pro vided in said act. Nov. 17th, 1874. PENITENTIARY. The condition of tho inmates of the pouitoutiary confined within tho walls is satisfactory. Every care and comfort’are extended to them consistent with tho security necessary and proper in thoir jwnal coufluoment. Tho reports cou- noctod with tbo workings of the institu tion will bo laid before you with this message. INSANE ASYLUM. The Insane Asylum is in unexoeption^ ally good condition. It is full of inmates, aud more room is needed to meet tho ap plications made for admission. CURRENCY. Oar depreciated curreucy is n great drawback to all tho functions of tho State Government. The aorvants of the Htato are made to bear a loss that is enormous to them, while this loss ill no respect exonerates the Treasury. The fluctuations of tho currency aro uot sought to be diminished by speculators, as their profits depond ou the margiu of the suuie. But tlio worst feature oonueoted with this depreciated currency is. that «n the bulk of the State tux is collected in the same, there is a standing temptation for officials who col lect aud handlo the same, to deal illegally or wrongfully with it, to thoir profit and to the diminution of the receipt of legal tenders in the Treasury And to specula tion on the tax payers. How carefully soever a law may *l»o guarded, experience shows that the puri ty of the administration of the laws is beat secured by the most careful avoid ance of opportunity aud temptation to commit wrong.

Their work has been completed and I have the honor to lay tho aauie before your honor able body, together with their report therein. Tho examination which I have been able to give the same has not been so thorongh as I desire. There seems to be a full, careful aud laborions compli ance by the commissioners with the di rections of the act. I recommend its oarefnl consideration by the General As sembly and the adoption of the same. As the statute laws -are the subject of changes at each session of the Legisla ture the question under this act is to ob tain a faithful copy of the public aud gen eral acts in existence, arranged und codi fied, iu pursnauce of the provisions of the act, leaving imperfection in the law of correction in subsequent legislation. Iu accordance with tho direction of the 8th sectiou of the act in question, I re commend that tho commissioners be al lowed the sum of three thousand dollars each as a compensation for their labor. The depreciated currency in which they are paid renders this, in my judgment, a reasonable compensation for the painful and careful labor, which none but loaruud lawyers could properly perform. I have the honor to submit to yon a communication from the Treasury De partment of the United States, asking the pass ige of a general law’ by you, ceding to the United Slates jurisdiction iu all cases of sites of light houses and other aids to navigation*, built on submerged foundations, and where the land under tho water is owned by the State, provid ing for the cession to the United States of the land also. The form of a law sup posed to cover all such cases, accompanies tbo communication. The Name is here with respectfully submitted for your con sideration and action. The present condition of the Alabama •and Chattanooga Railroad is of the great est importance to the credit of our State, in her liability for the oudorsed debt of that corporation is the only obstacle to the resumption of the payment of interest on our debt. Tho liability of tho State a* endorser uuder tho nets of tho General Assembly of Alabama for $4,720,000 of the bonds of that oorporutiou has never been questioned by any department of tho 8tute. On that liability the State paid, during tho administration of my immedi ate predecessor, in interest, the sum »>f about eight hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars ($834,000) and there are now in arrears the sum of nine hundred aud thirty-four thousand dollars ($034,- 000) as iu intoront—and it is believed this is short by ono hundred aud ton thousand dollars ($110,000). Tho State also be came responsible for the stun of three hnndrod and twelve thousand dollars ($312,000) ns purchase money bid by Governor Lindsay at bankrupt sale—and has paid large sums its fees to attorneys— one bundled and forty thousand dollars have been paid to the employees of the road, under the receivership of tho State, when first seized by Governor Lindsay. Besides, there are quite a number of suits now pending against tho State for dama ges to person and property, happening du ring tho holding of tho road by that re ceiver. Ou the 30th day of May, 1873, the trus tees of holders of the first mortgage bonds tiled thoir bill on the chancery side of tho Circuit Court of the Unitod Statu*, hold in Afobile, rejiroseuting, aud being tho only parties who can, in a court of chan cery, represent the said boud-holders, on which s>»id court, by decree, authorized Receivers therein appointed to issue cer tificates to the amount of ono million two huudred thousand dollars to be used in repairing and equipping said railroad, in order to prevent its deterioration and ul timate total loss, which said certificates by said decree, aro declared to he n prior lien to tho first mortgage bonds, en dorsed by the Stale. It does not yet ap pear what amount of said certificates have been used by said Receivers. But it is well kuowu that tho condition of said road was not thereby improved. By a decree of August 24th, 1871, of the same court, the said road was placed iu tho hands of the Trustees of the holders of tho mortgage bonds of said road, who now control and manage tho same, under the said decree. The South and North Alubiina Railroad has complied with tho Act of the General Assembly, approved April 21st, 1873, and has surrendered her endorsed bonds to tbo amount of $3,3515,000 (three million six hundred and thirty-five thousand dol lars^, aud received from tho State bonds to the amount of threo hundred and forty- one thousand dollars ($5141,000.00) under said aot of tho Legislature. Tho Savannah and Memphis Railroad has made no default in paymontof bor in terest, and has completed twenty (20) miles of additional road, for tho examina tion of which Commissioners have been appointed, but have uot yet reported. Tho other railroads for whom tho State has endorsed bonds are in default in the payment of interest on thoir bonds, and thoso whiob are incomplete, are doing nothing iu the construction of thoir roads It is to be hoped that the impatience ami rostiveuoss of many of our people uudor the operation of reconstruction will abate into patriotic submission tb law. It is believed that this reluctant recognition of the national authority docs not penetrate tho hearts of the masses. They uatnrally dosiro peace and quiet, that they may reap tho frnitiou of labor and thrift iu the education and ooiufort of their families. This dianffection is cher ished and pronounced by u cIorh a politi cal speculators, who imugiuo that profit may be developed from alarm and chaos. The good sonso aud benevolent courage of the masses of the people, in demand ing a cessation of these alarms, which are as unprofitable as they are unpatriotic, conRtituto tho only remedy for this chron ic evil. A calm retrospect of tho acts of tho political leaders of the States Rights party in the South for the last fourteen years show that they have only brought disappointments to their adherents and disaster ou tho whole country ; ninl every effort to build up what they torm the rights of (he States has only consolidated aud crystalized the national authority. The* war which they inaugurated, be cause of embarrassments to tho asserted rights of carrying slavery in the Territo ries, caused in tho order of Frovidcuoe its destruction in tho States. Their persist ent refusal to accept tho results of the appeals to arms, manifested iu their re pugnance to the amendments of tho Con stitution of the United States, seriatim ; tho unjust and illjudged legislation of sev eral of the State* regulating labor-con tracts and vagrancy; and the association- al hostility to the rights of citizens, have all resulted in the exercise of national au thority, both legislative aud judicial, which tho situation naturally suggested as essen tial to vindicate the paramount law of tho land. While we may naturally regret that these issues, with thoir attendant disas ters, were thrust upon this generation, we yet have just reason to rejoice that the national authority has been vindicated, aud that our country is exempt from the I announce myself a candidate ftorre- election as Marshal of the city of Oo- Davxd P.

Montgomery Blaxb.—This gentleman war an original Republican, and was Air. Lincoln’s Postmaster General during the war. His “loyalty,” therefore, cannot bo questioned. But he talks most disloyally and impudently about the nation’s wards, and shows that he kuows a good deal about them, as witness the following ex- tract from his remarks in a late interview with tho reporter of a New York Radical paper: “Now,” said Mr. Blair, with the opin- ateineKB of Baillie Nichol Jarvis, “you needn’t tell me anything about niggers. As the Kentucky Congressman said he knew all about bogs because he was brought up amongst ’em, I know all about niggers. They have just learned to sell out their votes, and for the remainder of the history of tho country the negro will be up for sale. He’ll get that forty acres and a mule out of trading his vote. You have jmt put n solid chunk of everlasting corruption in tho Southern States, and os tho whito natives are picking up a littlo money there now, they have the means to buy that black mass to the end of days.
