By the arrival of the steamer Huntei, from "Sew York, we receive newspapers of the 20th con thing one day’s later: The examination of witnesses in defence of \Vir 7 was progressing. The tendency ot tin evidence was to shift the responsibility <Jt the atrocities upon Winder and others supe rior in authority to Wire. The Mexican news is, tor once, defmate and highly important, The Imperial forces rire closely beseiged in the city of Matamoraa l>y a superior force of liberals. A series of guerilla outrage* of the most atrocious character are reported from Robert son county, Tennessee. A great Feniau meeting was held at the Cooper Institute, New York, on the 27tb. The official report of tiie famous dock-race betweenj.be W inooski and the Algonquin, declares the failure of the latter to meet the requirements of the contract. THE HEALTH OP SAVANNAH. A friend informs us that letters recently received from New York mention a report in circulation there that yellow fever had made its appearance in this eity. We ale glad to have it in our power to state most positively, that there is uot the slightest foundation, in fact, for the report. Not only, is there no yellow fever in Savannah, but on the authority of practising physicians of the best standing endorsed by our own oliservation and experience, we do not hesi tate to assert that the city was never freer trom leveror sickness of every kind than it is at, this time. loan experience of many years we have never known the city to be more healthy at auy season of tho year than it *i9 at present. When wo consider that August was a remarkably sultry month, that our city is full of uuftcclimated persons from the North, and the poorer class of our population greatly crowded, in consequence of the scarcity of houses and high rents, it is a matter of surprise, as well as a eauso for gratulation, that tho general health has con tiffined to be so unprecedentedly good. Tlu* Fenian Movement in New York. Our New York correspondence says the Fe nians of that city chuckle not a little ovei the alarm felt by the English Government, ns shown through the columns of the London Times and other organs of the aristocracy, concerning the movements of the Fenians.— They explain this alarm by not alone citing the fact that the movement is the best or ganized one ever started iu Ireland's behalf, hut the equally important one that as soon as the first blow is struck our Government •will acknowledge the rebelling government and award them the rights of belligerents; that vessels without number will he furnished them for naval operations and for blockade running, and that while the Fcuians in Ire land attract the attention of tha home gov ernment, those in this country and elsewhere will find profitable work to do ! n the British possessions, which will make short work ol any attempt to suppress the movement. This is but a slight part of the programme, they say. Compensation to Lovai, Men. —The Bristol Tennessee News of the Bth inst. says: “It is the intention of Col. Taylor, the repre sentative of the First District in Congress, to ask lor an appropriation by the Government to reimburse loyal East Tennesseeans for ah their losses by the war during the existence of the same. To enable him to do so, with a prospect of success, he desires that eacb County Court appoint a committee of three, who, in tarn, shah appoint as many as they think necessary for each civil district of theii respective counties, to make out a list, undei oath, of said losses or damages. It is bis desire that the report of each county be mad> out iu tabular form, containing a correct list of the number of Union men killed and “Wounded during the war, the number of families and children left thereby without a support; the number and value of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep taken by either army; the amount and value of gram takeu, as web -.19 such other items, houses, timber, etc., etc., destroyed, us may suggest themselves to th<’ committee. Ke wantß the reports by the Ist of December—when Congress meets—so that, when asked, “ what has been, the loss ot tin loyal men in East Tennessee? he can lmw the items and figures, which, it is said ‘wou't lie,’ to back his demands. Wc will send a number ot this paper to the countv cletks oi each county in this district, and they can, i: tuey are proper, bring the matter before tin County Courts.'’ , [communicated ] TO TIIK VOTERS OF l H AT HAM COUNT V Our attention having been called to the card of Messrs. Norwood and Guerard in the Herald of this morning, we ask leave briefly to state that AVe were nominated in the pub lic papers as candidates for the Convention sometime piior to the nomination of any other gentlemen for that, position, and did not decline the nomination. As no public meeting has been called by the citizens ol the county for that purpose, we must con sider ourselves as the prior nominees and de ference to the wishes of our ft ieuds, induces us to continue in the position.

Trcnhohn an i Maqrath. We have icceivcd the Charleston Courier of Saturday, which contains an editorial -ummary of the proceedings of the South Carolina Convention, down to the hour ot adjournment. Not having roceieved the in termediate Cates wo are tumble to present the entire action of that Ik) iy on points of en grossing interest,such as the election of Gov* , ernor aud Electors of President and \ ico Preuident, etc. Among the first acts of the convention, and of which our readers are already ap prised, were: Ist The repeal of the Ordinauce of Se cession. 2d The Abolition of Slavery. These were among the earliest of the acts adopted. An ordinance was subsequently passed “declaring in force the Constitution and Laws heretofore iu force iu that State, and the acts, official, public aud private done, and appointments aud elections tirade under authority of the same " Tiie last day of the session was principally Jevoted to the consideration of the ordinance reported by Mr I.ssscue in favoi of the admission of negro testimony It was referred to a Committee to recommend appropriate action and suggest enactments in reference thereto for the general Assembly, which will convene in Novcinbor next. With a view to the protection of those civil rights, both of person and property, with which they are now endowed, the Con vention has established competent Courts in each Judicial District, the Judges of which shall be elected by tiie Legislature, to ad minister and deeids upon all causeß, civil aud criminal, in w hich they may be inter ested. The basis of Congressional representation remains unaltered as arranged under the cen sus of 18G0,» t. one representative to .every 24000 iubabitants, giving South Carolina tour representatives. With regard to contracts aud other obli gations, &c., incurred during the progress of the war and of settling the basis upon which claims thereunto arising, should be adjudicated, a substitute was proposed and adopted for the 4th section of the ordinance I which allows for their adjustment on ! equitable principles. The following resolution was unanimously 1 agreed to : Resolved, by the, De/eyates of the People of South Carolina, in Convention assembled. That we endorse the administration of President Johnson, that we cordially approve the mode: <it pacification proposed by him, and that we : will co-operate with him in the wise meas ures he has inaugurated for securing peace i and prosperity for the whole Union. The foliowing resolution was also uuani- j mouslv adopted : “Resolved, That the I Chairman of this Committee organized for j the purpose of drafting suitable memorials | ! to the President in behalf of Hon. Jeflersou Davis, lion. Geo. A. Trenholm, and Hon. A. j G. Magrath, be a committee with Judge Wardlaw, the President of the Convention, Hon. Alfred Huger, &c., to present the me morials to the President and use their personal influence in behalf of the distin guished prisoners." Since we made the above summary (which was accidentally omitted from our issue yes terday morning) we have received the inter mediate dates from Charleston, which ena bles us to complete the proceedings of the Convention which adjourned ou the 27th nit. The Charleston Daily News makes the following summany ot its proceedings: The Ordinance of Secession lips been re pealed : slavery lias lieen abolished; proper ty qualification for flic Senate has been re voked ; foreigners, after two years' resi dence, without citizenship, may vote; the principle of taxation, according to value, has lieen adopted ; representation is to be upon the basis of white population; the Governor is to be elected by the people and serve for four years; no district is to have more than twelve Representatives; and each district Is to have but one Senator, and Charleston is to have threo. a— a Mr. Tcomas Thompson introduced the followiug resolution, which was agreed to: Rcso/rcd , That a commission, consisting of two persons, be appointed by his Excellency, the Provisional Governor, to prepare aud re port to the next Legislature what laws will bo necessary aud proper in couscqueuce ot the alteration made in the fundamental law, md especially to prepare and submit a code for the regulation of labor aud the protection and government of the colored population of the State, aud that the Legislature fix the compensation of said Commissioners. A resolution from the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution was amend ed so as to read as toliows: “Hereatter, thete shall be a capitation tax laid bv the General Assembly, wuich, upon each poll, shall never be less than one-fourth of the tax laid on one huudred dollars’ worth of land, it being left to the General Assembly to determine wLiuL inhabitants of the States hall be excepted from the operation of the law was appealed to. Mr. F. Pickens introduced the following clause for the Constitution, which was refer red to the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution: “For debts hereafter contracted to real es tates shall be subject to levy or execution ; but this shall not tie constiu.-d »o at to pre vent any legal process against the rents and profits of the same.” PLAN OK BANK REDEMPTION. The managers ot the New York city banks are quarrelling over a plan for redeeming their notes proposed for general adoption Several meetings have been held, and it is difficult, if it may not prove impossible, to obtain general concurrence among them.— The old and sound banks seem impressed with the necessity for some plan of redemp tion. Where there exists a multitude of banks of unequal credit and resources such a measure ‘s absolutely necessary to preserve uniformi ty of value fora circulating medium of paper, at a great financial and commercial ceutre like New York, to which funds find their way from ad parts ol the couiifv. To com pel all banking institutions situated iu the same place to receive the notes of other hanks at par is to remove all checks against ihe over issues of the weak bauks. Wherever there has existed a number of these institu tions, great inequality in the value of their issues must resu’t unless some plan of re demption is adopted. The plan recommend ed by the committee appointed by the New York banks indicated three places of re demption, New York, Philadelphia and Boston, as the three financial centres of the States of which those cities were respective ly the centres. Such a scheme of redemp tion would giro a principle of uniformity to .nr paper currency which It could not pos sess by any other mode. Before the war the New England States hud a scheme of redemption that worked most fcxrmoc.oua’y, c lied ’bffiS'iSolfc B ink System The Suffolk Umk of Riston was made ’he ageut ot ail New England banks, with which an account was kept, and with which they had a fund or a credit equal to the average i excess ot the ci.culaliou of each hank. I's effect was that of a clearing house between all the New England banks. Those banking institutions of the city of | New York, which have entered into the ar rangement by which their respective bal , auces ate adjusted at regular periods, cauuot with any consistency retuse to enter into this further arrangement ot a central redemption. REPUDIATION. The Milledgeville Union says the Conven tions of the States of Mississippi and Ala bama have by decided majorities expressed their disapprobation of the proposition to re pudiate the debt of their respective States. I and expressed the conviction that the Geor gia Convention will do likewise. The vote ! of the Alabama Convention alluded to by the j Union, was taken on the loth ult, and I stood In favor of repudiation, 34 to .18 against the proposition. Bit a telegraphic report of the proceedings r.f the Convention published several days since in this paper, states that on the 28th of September, the Convention by a vote of til to l'J, passed an ordinance re- I pudiating ail debts contracted by the State lin aid of tiie late war. The statement of the debt of the State of Alabama on the ?4th of May 1865, is as follows : Old Bonn Debt, at 5 percent. Interest, 2,757, OOP 00 Old B mil Debt, at finer cent, j interest. ass,(too go— 3,445.000 no Common school fund, 1,710,008 44 I Valueless Dith Sectional Fund. 87,n:>t 21 I University Fund, sui.njo 0n—2,107.099 65 Nrn' Bond Debt, at S per rent, interest, 3,544,500 00 Nsw Bond Debt, at 6 per cent. Interest, 2,0*5,M1) 00— 0,929,.700 00 Treasury notes, without Interest, 4,042,0-0 OT Treasury note change bills, .3,123,551 95 7,165,231 95 $18,646,521 00 As wc have received no Montgomery paper, and have no detailed account of the proceedings of the Convention other than the brief synopsis furnished by our telegraphic coires[MTudeut, we ate not fully informed iu regard to the action of that body in reference to the State debt. It will be seen by the above statement that five and a half millions of tiie debt of the State is old indebtedness, and if tiie “new" 8 and C per cent, bonds were issued previous to tiie war, the legiti mate debt of the State would he some six millions more, leaving only about seven millions of war debt. If, however, these bonds were issued since the secession of Alabama lor war purposes, the war debt would stand at $12,094,731. It is possible, that the action of the Couvenrion on the I.lth, alluded to by the Union, was in reference to tbe debt contracted by the State for legiti mate State purposes previous to the war, and that only the war debt has been repudi ated. There could be no possible justifica tion of the repudiation of the former debt, while the policy of repudiating a debt con tracted by the Confederate States Govern ment for war purposes, is a question that ad mits of argument. Tun South Carolina Convention, it ap pears to us, has travelled out of the record. It lms gone beyond the powers of a popular body representing the sovereignty of the State, having assumed a branch of tiie legis lative authority. The imposition of taxes, both as to mode and degree, is within tiie exclusive jurisdiction of the Legislature. The Convention has prescribed a poll tax and fixed its amount. This is assuredly a legis lative lunction or duty. The Convention has revolutionized the State government nearly entirely. It iias converted it from an Oligarchy into a Demo cracy. It has not only given the election of Governor and electors of President and Vice President to the people, but they have aban doned the property qualification for the Sen ate while returning it for the House. The reverse of this should be the rule, in consti tuting a Legislature, as it is the p"nctiee. There is a counterpoise to this in making the Executive term four years instead of two years as under the old Constitution. This is giving a more conservative tenure to the Executive office. A veto is conferred on the Governor, but instead of a majority of two-thirds of both Houses being necessary, a bare majority have the power to pass laws notwithstanding tiie Governor's negative. Tue right of foreigners to vole after a resi dence of three years without citizenship, wo agree with I lie Char eston News, is auli-con xervative. While the Convention was mak ing radical changes in the organic lawi, this feature of the old Constitution should have been modified. It is supposed to offer, as a compensation lor giving foreigners a share iu the government of lLie's,ate, a premium ou emigration. In the present state of the labor question, this might be deemed an equiva lent for such a concession On the whole the changes must be deemed salutary. A better equalization ot the taxes—and a longer term ot the Executive office are decided improve ments, while giving the most important elec tions to the people is a concession to popular privilege which assimilates Suiitu Carolina to aud renders her more homogoucous with the rest of tiie States of the Confederacy. [communicated, j To the Editors of the Herald : Gcntlkmks —ln your issue of the 30th inst., an address has been published over the signature of Messrs, Guerard and Norwood, in which my name has appeared ns one of those gentlemen who were iuvited to attend, and were also present at a meeting, at which those gentlemen were nominated as Candi dates for the Convention. While it is true, that I accepted the invi tation, and was present at the meetiug. it is equally due to truth to say, that I retired soon alter the rejection of Mr. Russell’s reso lutions, and knew nothing of the nomina tions and final proceedings uutil the next morning, when I saw the names of the can didates announced for the first time iu the colums of the Savauuau Republican. This course I persued because, while per sonally, I entertained no prejudices towards the worthy gentlemen, whose names are ap pended to the address, 1 did believe in so Important a juncture, the utmost harmony should prevai', and an cfTort made to unite all parlies, aud that to secure this end, a public meeting of citizens should tie called, candidates uominated and their names sub mitted to the people. These were the rea sons for ray withdrawal. As I understood the meeting to be informed, 1 did not deem it necessary to make a formal application to be excused therefrom, which, doubtless, may have led to the belief that I was present du ring the whole proceedings, which I could not consistently do with the sentiments I en tertained, and as above indicated. We H Mii.lek . TO THE VETERS OF CHATHAM COURT r. To morrow ap election will be held at the I Couit House in thb city for three deb-gates I to the State Convention, j The principal objects of this Convention | are to annul tbe Ordinance of Secession, ratify the abolition of slavery, and to recoin* , mend all measures that will contribute to plan iug our State back into the Federal Union, in |’be same enviaole position in which she I stood before the war. For this purpose we have before us three or four sets of candidates. One set was nominated, as we are informed through the papers, at the sl#e or office of one of the prompters of au impromptu meeting. Avery speci'U and primte invitation was given out to a few choice spirits by a very influential prompter of this impromptu meeting, and the meeting took place, as we an: in formed by one of the prompters, “not secretly or iu a corner,” and tbe nomination was made Were we at all disposed to quibble we might show this Impromptu up in very fiishy colors, and were it not tor the ruptured state of things we would most certainly do so. Wc would ask why a few choice spirits, such as Messrs. Holcomb, Russell, Swoll and a few others were prompted to form an Im promptu Meeting ? Why a few choice spirits received ja-ivatc aud special invitations to meet not "secretly or in a comer" to nominate candidates, and why the bone and sinew of the community was ignored. Who prompted this f Why was it prompted t and what induced them to prompt this Impromptu f why were the Mechanic. Laborer, and Uuion men left out iu the cold I why were they not invited also! Did the special cards of invitation run out before they got to them ? We can hardly forego the lemptatioa of answering these questions, but as we said, we did not wish to engender bitter feelings, we therefore leave the answer to every true and honest voter of Savannah. Ou the heels of this Impromptu meeting, as wc have been iuformed, a secoud Impromptu meeting was called at the office of Julian Hartridgo and Judge Chisholm; no prompter has as yet said by what prompter or prompters this second Impromptu was called, by who or how those attended were invited! Were special cards of invitation sent out to a few choice spirits, and'did those cards run out as in the first Impromptu before the bone and sinew of the community, the Mechanic an.l Laborer were readied ? We are informed by two of the candidates through the city papers, that Messrs. Rus sell, Swoll and Gobel seceded from the first Impromptu ; we can therefore in absence of I letter information, easily conjecture, who prompted the secoud Impromptu, how maoy there were there ? who they were '! How in vited ? and what they met for ? In short this second Impromptu brought out a second set of candidates. The ticket of tiie first Im promptu consists of two Lawyers aud oue Ex-Confederate Colonel. The ticket of the second Impromptu consist of an Es-Con federate Colonel, and two Lawyers. Where in does one ticket differ from the other ? The first was brought out by an Impromptu meeting “not secret nor in a corner" —the second was brought out by an Impromptu meeting, not “secret nor in a corner." How will the election of one ticket benefit the people of Chatham county or the State, than the other ! The candidates are all able men, but tbe political positions of all are about tbe same. “Strange that such high contests should be swixt tweedle dum and tweedle-dee.” Let us now briefly review the Union tick et. Some time ago the Uu'oa Club of this city uominated three candidates for the State Convention, but on reflection the men nomi nated detei mined to resign, in order that a Uuiou meeting might be called, aud that evert/ Uuion man who chose to attend might do so, and have a voice in the nomination. Accordingly the meetiug was advertised several days in both the city papers, aud furthermore, iu order that all might be noti fied and have a chance to attend, bills were posted in Various parts of the city inviting all unconditional Union men to attend. The meeting as has been already stated iu the jour nals of the city was held on the 20th of Sep tember. The same men previously nomi nated by the Union Club were re ■nominated by this meeting without'one dissentiug voice. The ticket consists ot the followiug names: A. W. Stone, Dr. F. Y. Clark and L S. Ben nett. The first is a representative mau who has beeu practicing law in Georgia over fif teen years. The other two are old citizens of Savaunah, one a professional man and the other a me chanic, aud all Union men. Thus it will be seeu that this ticket is fairly and honestly before the voters of Savannah. This is the only ticket that has had sufficient cour age, to put Union on its front—now can we afford, even were we so inclined, to elect any set of men on any other platform than that of Union. It would have a very dam aging effect upon the whole community in more ways than one. We are now mostly fleperdent on northern patronage and capi at. Those at the North who are anxious to eoinc here and spend their money in laud and other property, are now waiting and looking on to see it the Union feeling through out the State is sufficiently strong to justify their coming here to invest. Tlius, then, this election to Savannah is a very important one, and we sincerely hope every man before he votes will carefully con sider this matter, and have the interest and good of Savannah and the Stale at large at heart in casting his vote.
