Bill ol Right*.
The Bill of Rights reported from the
■tending committee on that subject contains
the following provisions:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
shall ever exist in this State except as a
punishment for crime, of which the party
shall have been duly convicted.
The Elective Frauchlso shall be enjoyed
by all male citizens of this State, twenty-one
years old and upward, except such ns are, or
shall be disfranchised by the United Slates
or any one of them, or for felony at the
Common Law, of which the party shall have
been duly convicted.
Illumluatlnir.
The thousands who nightly bewail the
dingy dullness of our city gas light may
look with envy at the Parisians, in whose
behalf anew enterprise has been under
taken. A company has been formed there
for the manufacture and sale of oxygen to
bo mixed with the common illuminating
gasses. It is calculated that by adding one
third oxygen to the ordinary Parisian gas
(which is in itself far more brilliant than
ours), the illuminating power is multiplied
eight times. The oxygen is sold at two
and a half times tho price of tho common
gas. This combination has been usod with
fine effect in lighting the International
Lecturo-rooni of the Exposition, and is rap
idly attaining popularity.
Private JTlnrkc t*.
We sincerely hope that the City Council
will give encouragement to, aud pot place
restriction upon, the enterprising men, iu
different parts of the city, who have opened
private markets for the sale of game, fish,
meats, etc., where at auy hour of the day
any of these necessary articles may be
obtained. This assurance would be a wel
come piece of information to those who have
been accustomed to early rising and going
to market at day break, or who, on tho other
hand, have depeuded in too many cases upon
pilfering servants to discharge that duty for
them.
As competition is tho life of trade, it
might very reasonably bo expected that
those who have already patronized the
private markets have found them both cheap
and convenient. There are numerous
benefits in thi3 system which must be
obvious to every reader, as well as to our
municipal authorities.
Co-Operative Associations.
In addition to the three Loan and Building
Associations already in operation here, efforts
are making for the organization of another
—the Co-operative Building Asgociation,
which, we are informed, will require smaller
monthly payments than the others.
It is almost impossible to overstate the
usefulness of such an institution, rightly
managed, in enabling persons of small
income to provide permanent homes for
themselves and their families. About every
laboring man of family, who pays rent, pays
more than enough of it to buy him a lot and
build thereon a comfortable house. Often
the laborer pays three and four times in rent
the price of a much better house aud lot
than ho can afford to occupy ! Having thus
paid, he is still poor, ami the payments knust
continue, or he and his wife and little ones
be homeless. Conceive that the rent money
paid by hard working men and women were
honestly aud judiciously applied, each year,
to the buying of house lots and erection of
dwellings for such people. The growth of
cities would not then, as now, witness “ The
rich man’s joys increase the poor’s decay.' 1
Yet the sole necessity is wise co-operation.
Every one who relies only upon his wages
ought to become a party to some co-operative
building association, by which he can, at
least, end his days beneath his own roof, and
leave a home to his children.
Supreme Court Decision*.
The followiug legal points, decided by the
Court of Errors, at the recent term in
Columbia, S. C., are of material interest .
The Statute of Limitations did not run in
that State during the existence of the Stay
Law.
The Tax Collectors are not compelled to
receive the bills of the Bank of the State of
South Carolina in payment of taxes.
That slavery was not abolished at the
date of President Lincoln’s Proclamation,
bnt ceased to exist wheu the State was
captured.
The Court decided that the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad might cross the South
Carolina Railroad at Columbia. But the
case was retained for a compromise between
the two companies in regard to the crossing
and other matters.
Hoinocpatliic Insurance.
We see that a charter has been obtained
in New York, tor Homoeopath:® Mutual Life
Insurance Company, the books of which will
be opened for subscription on the 27th of
this month at the Tenth National Bank.
The principal peculiarity of this new
enterprise is that the lives of those who
adopt the homoeopathic treatment of diseases
are insured at “judicially reduced rates” in
comparison with those who are treated in
the old manner. The gentlemen who are
engaged in getting up this company give, by
adopting this feature, a very decided proof
of their conviction that the homoeopathic
method is the safest and most efficacious.
It remains to be seen whether the allopathic
school will get up a rival institution.
The capital stock of the company will be
two hundred thousand dollars. It is to be
paid in cash and invested in State securities.
The stockholders are to receive" seven per
cent, interest, payable in gold. The enter
prise is recommended in a circular by some
of our ablest homoeopathic practitioners. *
Another Antl-Rcconatruction l.ic.
We find the following in yesterday morn
ing’s Chronicle:
A Significant Fact.— Colonel Charles
TANARUS, Pollard returned on Wednesday night
from his Northern visit. Ho was not able,
says the Montgomery Mail, to negotiate for
any means to assist in carrying on the rail
road enterprises in his bands. The people
of the North express themselves ns unwill
ing to risk money at the South in such a
state of anarchy, and call upon us to vote
down the proposed Constitution.
We know whereof wo speak when we say
that Colonel Charles I’. Pollard, President
of the Montgomery and West Point Road,
never mode tho above statement. What he
did say was, that until a civil government,
in harmony with tho general Government,
was established in the Southern States, local
credits were dead. Reconstruction is essen
tial to the restoration of confidence.

Ex-Gov. Brown’s Address.
The Atlanta Opinion of yesterday says
that Ex-Gov. Brown read a lengthy but
able address to the members of the Consti
tutional Convention, at the City Hall last
evening, a large number of citizens being
present. The Hall was so densely crowded
that it was impossible for all present to gain
admittance, or for all those who were in to
obtain seats.
The ad 'ress treated mainly of the Recon
struction movement, combatting the assump
tion that the law's of Congress contemplated
the establishment of negro supremacy in
the Southern States ; defended the admin
istration of General Pope against the popu"
lar charge that ho had so gcremamlcred
the State as to place the political powor of
the same in the hands of negroes; advo
cated measures of Relief for the people ;
counseled moderation by the members of
the Convention, and advocated some meas
ure looking to the relief of stockholders in
tho defunct banking institutions of tho
State.
The address was well conceived, deliv
ered in a forcible and impressive manner,
and was listened to with profound interest.
Good for Irishmen.
Dr. W. 11. Russell has accepted the most
responsible and influential outside position
connected with the Loudon limes, and is
about to proceed to Paris as its own regular
correspondent. In his new character Dr
Russell will be able to influence the foreign
policy of the empire to some extent, for the
British press takes its tone on many ques
tions from the admirably selected extracts,
as w'cll as the thoughtful remarks on conti
nental affairs, which have, as a general rulei
characterized the Paris letters of the Thun
derer. The Times’ proprietors conduct their
Paris office on a scale of great magnificence.
The salary is $20,000 a year in gold, besido
a splendidly furnished house, carriages,
wines, servants, and secretaries. In its
saloons the most celebrated statesmen and
wits of Franco and Europe assemble and are
entertained, and the correspondent thus
gleans from original sources the current news
of the day. Dr. O’Meara, an Irishman of
culture and literary attainments, has for a
number of years filled this position, and is
now succeeded by Dr. Russell, another
Irishman, thus again illustrating the fact
that some of tho leading positions on the
London press are occupied by persons of that
country.

FROM ATLANTA. ’A
CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Removal of Gov. JenUas.
Atlanta, Jau. U.—Tha Convention was
almost exclusively occupied during the day’s
session in debating a series of resolutions
petitioning Congress to remove the present
State officers, or give the Convention the
power to do so, with authority to fill the
vacancies thus made. Adjourned, pending
discussion.
A general order appeared from Gen.
Meade, this morning, validating an ordi
nance to stay the collection of debts in
Alabama up to tha Ist of January, 1860, 0£ J
cept claims for labor and hire—adopted by
the lute Convention in that Stale—validation
to take effect from to-day; aud further
ordering that the several officers, judicial
and otherwise, in Alabama, respect and obey
this order.
A similar order is looked for as to this
State when the Convention adopts a perma
nent relief ordinance.
There is considerable excitement hers
to-night over a report, on high authority,
that Gov. Jenkins has been removed, pnd
Gen. Dunn, formerly of Gen. Pope's staff'
appointed Governor.
Congressional.
Washington, Jau. 11. — Senate: Sumner
presented a petition from the negroes of
Fulton couuty, Georgia, setting forth their
miserable condition, and nskiug for relief.
Sumner introduced a joint resolution,
declaring the adoption of the fourteenth
Constitutional Amendment. Referred.
The Judiciary Committee, after unimpor
tant business, went into Executive session
and adjourned.
Home. —Tho House was devoted entirely
to speeches-
The Agricultural Department promulgates
the following: The returns relative to cotton
indicate fully 20 per cent, aggregate increase
over tho crop of last year. The actual crop
of 1866, as sold and shipped, making due
allowance for receipts of the previous crop
and amount not Sent forward on the first of
September, 1807, was very nearly 1,900)000
bales, while the estimate of this Department
in October, 18G0, was 1,835,000 bales. The
total estimates made in view of all the De
partment data, as well as outside informa
tion, is placed at 2,340,000 bales.
Tho House Committee on Reconstruction,
this afternoon, agreed upon a bill, to be re
ported on Monday, declaring that there are
no civil governments in the lately rebellious
States, and that the provijeional govern,
ments shall not be recognized as valid or
legal, either by the Executivc-or the Judi
cial authority of the United States.
In order to the speedy enforcement of
the several reconstruction laws, the General
of the Army is authorized to remove all
officers now employed, and appoint others
for the performance of all acts required by
those statutes, to tho end that the people of
the said several States may speedily organ
ize civil governments, republican in form
and restored to their political power in the
Union.
The Geueral of the army is also empow
ered to remove all civil officers, and appoint
oihers in their places. So much ot the
reconstruction acts as authorize the Presi
dent to detail the Military Commanders or
remove others is repealed. The bill declares
it unlawful for the President to order any
part of the army or navy to assist by force
of arms the military of those Provisional
Governments to oppose or obstruct the
authority of the United States.
The hill further declares that the inter
ference by any person, with intent to prevent
by force the execution of the orders of the
General of the army, shall be held tote a
high misdemeanor, and that the party guilty
thereof, on conviction, shall be fined not
exceeding $5,000, and imprisoned not ex
ceeding two years.
The bill repeals all parts of the Recon
struction acts inconsistent with the above
provisions.
Stevens voted against the bill in com
mittee, asserting that it was intended to elect
Grant.
This evening's Express has the following:
Tho House Judiciary committee will, on
Monday, report the Senate bill, defining a
quorum of the Supreme Court, with an
amendment providing that it shall be
necessary that two thirds of tho court shall
agree before any law of Congress is pro
nounced unconstitutional.
