LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.*
Washington, Jan, 12, 1867.
■ ASS MISTING UPON THI SUBJECT OP
CITIZENSHIP.
In response to « call issued a few days
previously, a tolerably well-attended mass
meeting was held at Carroll Ilall, or Friday
night, to consider —or rather to pass resolu
tions already prepared—on tho subject ot
American citizenship generally, and natu
ralised Fenians particularly. Major Wallach
presided, and Major James M. Dalton, Com
mon Councilman, was elected Secretary*
Among the notable personages on the plat
form were Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,
and Montgomery Blair.
The preamble adopted recites that the
Government of Great Britain has, without
sufficient justification, seized and thrust into
“unwholesome” prisons, and confined for
months, without trial or conviction, Ameri
can citizens voyaging or sojourning in that
empire; that she has denied to American
citizens the. right of aliens to a trial by a
mixed jury, adhering to Blackstone’s doctrine
of “once a subject always a subject;” that
“the Ministry of this country for the Court
of St. James, Charles Francis Adams, has
failed, in spirit or in letter, to represent the
interests of this country in Great Britain aud
Ireland during the late trials of American
citizens in Great Britain, and has shown
himself faultless of his trust, aud careless of
the honor of his country ; and the same
spirit has been carried out by Win. B. West,
Consul of the United States at Dublin and
that the “rights of naturalised citizens have
not evidently been legally deferred at this
time.”
In view of these considerations, the reso
lutions passed maintain that allegiance on
the one hand and protection on the other
being reciprocal duties of citizens and gov
ernment, and the Constitution of'the United
States inviting foreign citizens to transfer
their allegiance to her laws and institutions,
this Government should not only “clearly
define by acts of Congress, what are tho
privileges of American citizens when
abroad,” but that the present is tho fitting
and urgent time for such authoritative defi
nition. The resolutions request the President
to remove “Charles Francis Adams, Minis
ter to England, and other subordinate
officials who so inaptly represent the in
terests of this country in Great Britain.”
The preamble and resolutions are of diplo
matic wordiness ; but I think I have given
you the gist of them.
Montgomery Blair was the first speaker.
The real undercurrent of the meeting mani
fested itself in tumultuous applause when
this gentleman asserted that “the war in
Ireland has never ceased, and never will,
until her independence is acknowledged.'’
A letter was read from the lion Schuyler
Colfax, couched in firm, but dignified terms.
He asserted that to demand that natural
ized citizens “shall fight, and bleed, and
die as American citizens for their country
in war, and fail to protect them as American
citizens in peace, at home or abroad, would
be a national shame.” This letter did not
appear, however, to give general satisfac
tion. “The green” was not sufficiently
visible “above the red."
Letters were also read from Hon. N. B.
Banks, and Senator Conness, of California.
The latter gentleman, although himself of
Irish descent, gave expression to the truism
that “this Government cannot hold harmless
those of its citizens who go abroad with
hostile intent and who commit hostile acts
against the constituted authorities of other
nations.” “With our duty properly per
formed” on this subject, wrote he, “I do
not believe that at this time any Govern
ment in Europe will persist in outrages
upon the personal rights of naturalized
citizens of this republic.”
Hons. S. S. Marshall of Illinois, Van
Horn of Missouri, Wilson of Mass., James
R. Kavanaugb, of Montana, and several other
speakers, addressed the meeting, and sev
eral other letters from distinguished person
ages, were read.
The allusion to the subject in the,Presi
dent's last Message among other things, has
' once again called the earnest attention of
the American people to the matter of the
protection due their naturalized brethren,
not as against England only, but Prussia
and other nations. It is unfortunate, how
ever, that in many of the meetings which
have been held upon the subject throughout
the country, the organization and committee
business have been almost entirely manipu
lated by well known Fenians whose ideas
of the protection due naturalized citizens
conspiring against the peace of their native
country certainly go beyond all tenets of
international law.
EXPIRING TERMS.
The terms ol two of our ablest Senators
are about to expire. I allude to Reverdy
Johnson, of Maryland, and Senator Morrill,
of Maine. Hon. Hanibal Hamblin, who is
also beginning to be mentioned as a catrli
date for the Republican nomination for the
Vice Presidency, is a formidable candidate
for Mr. Morrili’s seat, and would make a
worthy successor to that gentleman. It is
not, of course, in the nature of things that
we can have a Republican Senator to suc
ceed Mr. Johnson ; and therefore it is to be
hoped that Ihe Maryland Legislature will
reelect Reverdy Johnson to the seat he has
filled with such marked talent. Asa states
man, he is able, honest, and comprehensive ;
as a lawyer, he has few equals anywhere ;
his long connection with public life has
furnished him valuable experience, and his
moderation and dignity win the respect' of
his most earnest opponents.
A BIRTH IN THE CAPITOL.
An affair that was entirely “out of order”
occurred at the Capitol on Thursday morn
ing, the particulars of which have been spar
ingly and tardily given lothe public. Between
two aud three o’clock that afternoon, a well
dressed female was observed pacing up and
down one of the corridors of the building,
apparently suffering from severe pain. She
finally approached one of the building police
and requested him, in an almost inaudible
tone, to set a chair outside for her that she
might get the fresh air. He did so, and she
seating herself, he left; but returning in a
few moments, he found a vacant ’choir.
Under it, however, laj a dead infant, with
unmistakable marks of having just been
born. A physician examined the corpse,
and pronounced that' it had been still-born’,
and lacked at least two months of maturity.
The missing mother was then sought for,
but could not be found. It has since been
ascertained she entered a street car, rode a
short distance, then got out mid hired a
hack, and was conveyed to the home of some
of her friends, where she died within a few
hours. Though it must he known who was
the poor creature, no additional particulars
than those mentioned have been vouchsafed
to the public. The affair is n very singular
one, both as to the circumstances of tho case
and the secresy preserved in tho matter. I
have been told the name of the miforttnmte
woman, but having a very slight donbl|as to
the accuracy of my information, I will not
io it.
TWKNTY i’KIl t ENT,
The Department clerks have not yot en
tirely given up ihe idea that they can induce
Congress lo tack on an addilinunl twenty'l
per oent. to their salaries for the past year.
The Im* Congress did so, why shouldn’t this
one f say they. There is a proposition afloat
to start a small weekly paper in tbs interest
of this Movement. There is only one little
impediment to the project—a lack of’foods.
It's coolly proposed that such of the olerks
as understood type-setting should devote
their leisure hours to “composing" the paper.
This proposition is decidedly refreshing,
coming front a body of as well paid men as
the Department clerks of Washington. If
the Weather was only as frigid there would
be no complaint of want of good skating.
A RADICAL FRENCH PAPER,
There is a good prospect of tho establish
ment of a Radical paper here, printed in the
French language. There are not many
French pcoplo residing in Washington; but
it is designed to trake this journal a sort of
national organ for Franco-Americans.—
There are several ably edited French papers
in this country, tho chief one probably
being the Courrier des Elects Unis of New
York; hut almost all of them are bitterly
Democratic.
A BANQUET.
The Washington Correspondents’ Club
regaled themselves with a banquet on Sat
urday night. Among the invited guests
were such members of Congress as are or
have been members of the press. Speaker
Colfax, Senator Anthony of R. I-, Hon. J.
G. Blaine of Maine, Hon. W. E. Robinson
of Brooklyn, Hon. J. Lawrence Getz of
Pennsylvania, and lion. James Brooks of
New York, were among the number. The
toasts were such as might have been ex
pected at a gathering of tho knights of the
quill. Mark Twain responded to the last
toast —“Woman, the priue of all professions
and the jewel of ours.” Tho Hon. Schuyler
Colfax responded to “Tho Honorary Mem
bers of tne Washington Correspondents'
Club.” The affair was a pleasant one—
that' is as much so as such affairs usually
are. Very few of the Club, however, felt
any the better for it upon the following
morning* Vigilant.
From tho Atlanta Opinion.]
State Constitutional Convention
Tuesday, January 14, 1868.
Convention met at the regular hour.
Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and
approved.!.'
Mr. Ashburn—A resolution asking Con
gress to pass an act authorizing this Con
vention to form a civil government for this
State that will aid the majority ot tho
voters in the work of Reconstruction.
Mr. Parrott—Mr. Shropshire in the
Chair—opposed the resolutions; first, be
cause they doubted the powers of the Con
vention on the question of relief. Asa
Republican he could not make such an
admission. If we failed to act wisely down
would go all the fond hopes of the Repub
lican organization, the great question of
relief, and the Constitution that might be
formed. But pass equitable relief meas
ures, make them operative by constitutional
provisions, and all would be well.
Mr. Bryant was surprised at the line of
argument taken by Mr. Parrott. Relief had
no connection with the matter introduced.
A letter had been read from a distinguished
United States Senator, asking this Conven
tion to say what additional legislation was
needed, and promising to give it. Measures
were already before Congress. The Senate
doubteAthe propriety of the House proposi
tion to give the Genera! the power of appoint
ment, and seemed to prefer to leave it with
the question. This a majority of this Con
vention desired, and wished to ask for it.
But further discussion was useless, and he
would move the previous question.
The yeas aud nays wore called upon (jie
question of sustaining the call for the previ
ous question to suspend the rules, aud
resulted yeas 74, nays 70.
The question then recurred upon the sus.
pension of the rules, and tho yeas and nays
were called, and resulted yeas 80; nays 66.
There not being two thirds in the affirmative,
the motion was lost.
The call was proceeded with.
By Mr. MarLer—A petition fur the
relief of certain classes of colored persons.
Referred to Committee on Relief.
By Mr. Martin, of Calhoun —An ordi
nance to provide that none shall vote who
cannot read the Bible and Constitution;
that colored persons shall not hold office,
and prohibiting intermarriages.
Great excitement ensued, and several
motions were made, when the Chairman
(Mr. Saffold in the Chair), ruled out of order
as being matter of a legislative character.
By Mr. Whitley —An ordinance on
relief (proposed by Mr. McCoy, who was
absent).
By Mr. Moore, of Columbia—An ordi
nance providing for the collection of twenty
five per cent, of debts contracted prior to
June Ist, 1865 ; provided said debts were
not contracted for the purchase of slave
property. Referred to Committee on Relief.
By Mr. Roza a—A resolution author
izing the Treasurer of the t-tate to pay out
$60,000 to defray the expenses of the Con
vention, and providing that no greater sum
should be paid out until the tax, authorized
by the Convention, was collected.
By Mr. Smith, of Coweta —An ordinance
to provide equitable relief lor the people of
Georgia.
By the same, a resolution directing the
order in which reports of standing Com
mittees be taken up and acted upon.
By Mr. Rozar — A resolution for the en
couragement of agriculture. Ruled out as
being of a legislative character.
l!y Mr. Smith, of Thomas—A resolution
directing the suspension ol taxes. The rules
were suspended, and the resolution was
taken up and laid upon the table-
By Mr. Speer — A resolution iu reference
to repairs to the Hall.
By Mr. Surri.E— An ordinance to prevent
levy or sale of property until the meeting of
the next Legislature of the State.
By Mr. Strickland —An ordinance on
suffrage.
By Mr. Trammell —A preamble and reso
lution favoring the, colonization of the col
ored people upon public lands to be donated
by Congress, aud asking Congress to make
such donation.
By Mr, Turner —A resolution to instruct
the Committee on the Executive Department
to report a provision for the election of a
Lieutenant Governor.
By Mr. Waddell —A resolution compli
menting Maj. Gen. Hancock, etc. The rules
were suspended, and the resolution was
taken up.
Mr. Akerman opposed the resolution be
cause he was not well enough advised as to
the course of Gen. Hancock, and after a
brief discussion the resolution was indefi
nitely postponed—yeas 123, nays 13.
Mr. Wmitkly — A resolution that all
matters pertaining to relief, now in the
hands of delegates, b<J handed to the Cbm
mittoo on Relief, and henceforth no new
matter shall bo presented to the Convention.
The rules were suspended, and the resolution
was laid on the table.
Mr. Shropshire, from the Committee on
Finance, reported the following i
Your Committee beg leave to report that
pretermittlng any opinion as to the validity
of the Constitution of 18G5,0r the acta of the
General Assembly that existed under and
by virtue of its authority, wu beg leave to
recommend the adoption of the following
resolution ;
That in tho opinion of the
Convention, it is unwise and inexpedient
to directly or indirectly interfere with tho
legislation of tho General Assembly, au
thorizing tho issue of bonds for tho purpose
of paying the indebtedness of tho State,
Wksi.ey Shropshire, Chairman.
On motion, the rules were suspended, and
the resolution was taken up.
Mr. Cohlkt moved the adoption of the
resolution.
Mr. Bedford advised tho Convention to
be careful The resolution wu a broad
one, and covered an immense amount of
financial legislation. It has been reported
that improper legislation had occurred
since 1865, and thought delegates had better
reflect.
Messrs. Shropshire and Whitely ex
plained, and advocated the resolution.
Mr. Blount stated that the last Legisla
ture had carefully examined and classified
tho public debt. The war debt had been
set aside, and the bonds now out were
issued for the ante-war debt, and the debt
oontraoted since the surrender.
A motion was made to lay the resolution
on the table for the present, and that three
hundred copies be printed. Lost.
The question recurred upon the passage
of the preamble and resolution, and they
were adopted without division.
Mr. Cottino offered a resolution request
ing the Commanding General to investigate
all proceedings connected with the late
election. Objection being made, the motion
was withdrawn-
Mr. Bryant, from the standing Committee
on Franchise reported the chapter on the
elective franchise. The report provides for
universal suffrage, except such as are dis
qualified by Article XIV of the proposed
amendment to the United States Constitu
tion, or by the laws of Congress. Registra
tion is also provided for. The report was
laid upon the table, and 500 copies ordered
to be printed.
Mr. Parrott moved a suspension of the
rules to take up the reports from the Com
mittec on Relief, and make it the special
Oruttt fur to-morrow*
Mr. Turner read a resolution declaring
that no business be transacted until a Con
stitution was Iratned.
Mr. Bryant opposed the proposition to
suspend the rules. He preferred to consider
the reports of the committees on the Consti
tution, in the order that had been decided
upon.
Messrs. Parrott and Hopkins favored
action on Relief, immediately, and called
upon the Convention to suspend rules, that
the subject might be disposed oi.
Convention adjourned.
Gen. Meade. —There is something unu
sually significant in the action of General
Meade. He is sent into the South as a
Conservative to carry out what the National
Intelligencer calls President Johnson’s great
work of eostitutional freedom. Pope, ac
cording to tho President, was only the agent
of the Radical party, and laboring for the
success of the Republican organization.
Meade is a General of Conservative iustincts,
and popularly supposed to be a Democrat.
Yet, before he is fully warm in his command,
he removes the Governor of Georgia, the
State Treasurer, and a Clerk of the Court,
besides giving the support of the military
power to an act of the Convention.
This does not surprise us. Gen. Meade is
an honest, straightforward man, and knows
his duty. He finds certain laws, and he
executes them, not as President Johnson
desires, but in accordance with the will of
Congress. He might imitate Hancock—the
President’s second edition of Washington—
and give us a Tammany Hall administration.
He might remand the whole region under
his command to the control of Rebel Courts
and treasonable executive officers. He
might very speedily induce anarchy in his
command, and secure a Democratic nomina
tion for some office, by reducing the South to
a condition of ruin.
110 could hope for little from Congress.
Ho saw Sickles degraded because he stood
by reconstruction. He saw Stanton driven
from the Cabinet. He saw promotions at
tend the Rousseaus and Grangers—promo
tions that the Senate were willing to con
firm ; so that his professional interests, as
well as the tendencies of his mind, led us
to expect a conservative, retrogressive ad
ministration. *
Gen. Meade has certainly no such pur
pose. He will do his duty, whether it
pleases the President or not. And the
country will honor him for his boldness,—.
