The journal of ye.-terdiiy wa« read, coi
reeled, and approved,
Mr. IIAHIDS. of Newton, moved tore
consider t!m net inn of the Committee o
the resolutions relative to the tax on col
ton. A motion t,» lay t!ii> question on til

tended the privileges of the floor to the
Governors and Ex-Governors, and sup
ported the motion at some length.
.Mr. TURNER opposed the motion. Tills
was no time to refuse conciliation, or
cherish old prejudices. Ho was willing to

vate such feelings among the people of the
State as would result only in union and
harmony. .Air. BRADLEY addressed the
Convention to the same effect. Air. BENT
LEY supported the motion. Air. ASII-
BUKX opposed the motion; and upon a

Montqomkry, Dee. 11.—Gov. Patton lnv5i
perfected financial arrangements in New
York for paying the Interest on the foreign
loans due January 1st, IsUS, and also
cured an extension of time for the payment
of the temporary loan heretofore negoti
ated In New York, until the tfunuV’ean

Ale—r*. llenry C. Semple, of Alontgome-
ry, Joseph il. Speed, of Perry, and eleven
other Conservative Republican members of
the Reconstruction Convention, who pro
tested against tho Constitution, have
issued an address, which ably vindicates
their position. They assume that the ac
tion of the Convention Is in opposition to
the sentiment of the Northern people a*
expressed in the recent elections, and that
the Constitution adopted, violates the
dltions of the formation of the Republican
party in Alabama, by trascending the re
quirements of the Reconstruction Acts,
and adding features of proscription and
disfranchisement not authorized by there
measures.
They lxdleve the Northern people will
not permit the power of their government
to he directed to the abasement and do
dntlon of the white population of the
South; t!ia they will not sentence the
white race of the South to be the servants
of tlieir former slaves, even as a punish
ment for rebellion. They argue that the
vil liberty of the Northern people will be
.ilangered by the continued exercise of
ro-coiisulM' rule maintained by force
over an impoverished and ruined people.
The Mmtli admits the thoroughness of the
conquest, hut trust to the magnanimity of
the conqueror and appeals now to the tri
bunal of List resort, to the people. The
political power of the blacks is coveted un
der the proposed system of suffrage by
political adventurers, having no interest
in common with the Southern people, as a
weapon of offense to l»e wielded for the ac
complishment of tlieir selfish schemes of
personal aggrandizement, and ’'that the
race will readily surrender Itself to the
acts and intrigues of designing persons
who Hatter tlieir vanity and encourage
them in a jealous hate of the white inhab
itants or the State.
The colored delegates in the Convention
moved ns subserviently at tho beck of their
Radical managers, as ever slaves did at the
command of tlieir masters.
The amendment* to the bill of rights, in
troduced by Air. Iveffer, that common car
riers should make no distinction between
citizen* of the States I* designed to secure
to colored p -oats at tables,and berths
with w uite- inboats. at hotels and
on earn. arm *i durable opposition,
and is threaten. produce serious dis
cord in the Convention, and was with
drawn by its author* and advocates, but
the colored delegates, the protesting mem
ber* arc informed, obliged the Radical ma
jority to promise them that the Legislature
liouUI and would carry it into effect.
/l'lic address alludes to the fact that the
Convention refused to provldo separate
schools for whites and blacks, and simply
provided in the Constitution for the estab
lishment of one or more schools In each
school district by which, If only ono school
should he established in a district, the
children of both race* must attend the
same school.
One of the standing committees unani
mously reported an article of the Constitu
tion prohibiting intermarriage of whites
and black*, which was defeated In deference
to the sensibilities of the colored members,
many members of the Committee that made
the report, receding from tlieir prsitlon
and voting to table it.
The signers of the address further declare
that, entertaing the views they do. they
owe it as a duty to the people to warn them
against lending themselves to the rut idea
tion of the Constitution. They know not
what fate majr be In store for the people,
but It can reply be worse than that
which they ^4“bring on themselves by
aiding hi currying the Constitution into
effect.
Affair* lu Virginia.
Richmond, Dec. 11.—Senator Wilson and
8enator Pomeroy arrived here to-day and
were present to-night at a caucus of the
Republican members of tho Reconstruction
Convention at the Capitol. Senator Wil
son, It la stated, advised moderation and
forbearance In legislation, and on the mat
ter of dUftranchiaement not to go beyond
the reconstruction acta. «
The temper ot the Conservative Conven
tion seems to be 1 y reflected In the
speech of it* Presided, who expressed his
entire willingness to accept the result of
tho war as final, but an earnest opposition
to the State’s being under tho control of
tho colored race.
A Family Quarrkl—A domestic muss
between a colored “gen’man” and his de
voted /row, tills morning, on Prior street,
attracted considerable attention, drawing
together a largo nutnlwr of colored
persons. They indulged freely In mutual wherea
personal thrust*, seeming to forgot that (•»' «f 1
they were no longer “twain” hut have, by
the marriage vow, been made onk. No
blows were passed, and we think it decid
edly lucky for the husband that tiiero was ’“cjivvn
not, for it i* evident that tho exasperated j Ms
Ala Lime is tho I c-t root of tho tico.
