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. OFFICIAL proceedings; of council.

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.

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. Louisiana. New Orleans, Jan. 11.—Fair grounds closed to-day on account of tho inclemency of the weather. Gen. Mower has bceu ordered to report to Gen. Buchanan for duty, with his regi ment. The Convention, in last night’s session, adopted articles, by CO to 72, disposing of Stato officers. Washington Items. Washington, January 11.—It is under stood that in yesterday’s Executive session, a motion was mado by the Democrats to consider the Stanton case in open session, but was defeated, and that Doolittle asked that as Howard’s report had been published, the minority report might be published also.
