mistaken. It was liy no act ol ours that
we have been eniaiiC'puted and invested

Cl
| Tlic I'onvfntloirmVliHt is the Best
I’olicy-
After mature delitieration on the sub
ject and aof ivttij survey ol the whole
ground, we have arrived at the conclu
sion that the bent course for Die Conser
vative* to pursue in the corning election,
will he to abstain from voting on the
question ot “convention” or “no Conven
tion.''
Some time since wo urged the assem
blage of ft Convention of the Conserve
t vo elements in the State with a view lo
harmonizing upon some plun which
might save the .State from the control of
the Radical negro pm ty. Wo felt,, and
so staled that, in unify of action and har
mony of feeling alone could wc hope to
succeed. Onr advice was not heeded.
A large majority of the Conservative
presses of the State favored the move
ment, but the apathy of the |icop!c pre
vented its cotisninaiion. If thstCouven
lion Imil lieeti held we would net he in
sea of doubt and uncertainty which now
threatens to swump the best interests of
the Stale. This allusion to the recent
past is not made for the purpose of com
plaining with our people. It is too late
now to attempt concert of action throngh
the medium of a Convention The only
alternative left us is for the press of the
State to unite upon Dial line of conduct
which promises the best chance of suc
cess und urge, throuuli its columns its
acceptance by the people. We believe
all the opponents of Hie Reconstruction
Bills can lie united upon the proposition
to avoid voiting for or against a Conven
tion.
The Third section of the Supplemental
Reconstruction Bill is as follows :
.Surrinx ft. That at said election the registered
votera ot each Ktnle 1-hiill vole lor or agriblst a
Conven I ion lo form a Constitution therefor, un
der this net. Those voting in favor of such a
Convention idiall have written or printed on their
ballot* try which I hey vote for delegates as afore
said the words "Fora Convention.’’ Those vo
ting against wiob Conveiidon slmll have written
or printed on Koch ballots tile Words “Against a
Convention.” I’ersona appointed to superintend
said election and to make return of voters given
thereat as herein provided shall count and make
return of the votes given for and against a Con
vention and the ronimntiding General In whom
the same shall have been returned shall ascer
tain and declare the total vote in each -state lor
and ngulnat a Convention II a majority ot the
v oles given on Hint question shall lie for a Con
vention then such Convention Hbull lie held as
hereinafter provided ; but it a majority of said
votes shall lie ugnlnsta Convention then no such
Convention shall lie held under this act ; provi
ded that no such Convention shall be held
unless a majority of all sneli registered voters
shall Imre voted on the question of holding such
Convention.
It will he seen Unit the proviso to this
suction requires that "» majority of the
registered voters of the State shall vote
upon the question of holding the Conven
tion,” or there shall lie no Convention
held. We Iwlinve that by the skillful
manipulations of the registry lists by the
Registrars in the State, and the absolute
control which tlio Radicals liuve obtain
ed over the negro population a majority
of the registered voters are in favor of
holding a Convention. If the opponents
of Convention then vote upon that ques
tion, they will only aid tlm Radicals in
securing a call of the Convention. We.
therefore, fully agree with our esteemed
cv.fcmpcrary across the street in the fol
lowing remarks upo;: I his question which
appeared in the Coiuslilutionalidi oi the
4th instant.
That paper says :
From the adroitness and party jugling
manifested by registration in this State
not less than from the sweeping disfran
chisements of Congress, is very gener
ally conceded'that the friends ot Conven
tion outnumber opponents. It is idle,
therefore, to vote against a Convention
with the hope of defeating it; lmt inas
much as Congress has ordained that with
out a majority of registered votes the
Convention question becomes a dead om
it w mid not bo amiss for those who have
hitherto opposed the call to abstain from
voting, with at least the clmnco of help
ing, by such vis inertia * to cause the
scheme to fail by default ol the necessary
ballot.
This we hold to lie the only method
left ; und is, perhaps, the better alterna
tive of washing our hands of a dirty
business. We will retire from a contest
where laurels are impossible and leave
ttie field to negroes and white mounte
hanks, who may revel for a time in the
triumph of villainy, but shall not revel
forever unless the people of this country
are knaves and imbeciles.
While wo sdvise our people to abstain
from voting on the “question of holding
the convention,” we are n6t prepared to
go further and insist "pon their “abstain
ing from voting at all ” Wo believe that
it would bo the better policy for
the Conservatives in every District where
there is the slight'st chance of success,
to put iu uouMtiation and vote for their
best men for the Convention, abstaining
at the same time from making any en
dorsement en their ballots either for or
agai; st a Convention. By this plan we,
secure all the benefits which coaid possi
bly arise from not voting, and in case a
majority of the registered voters of the
SialoVtonld cast their ballots for a Con
vention, we secure in that body son.o
gentlemen of respectability and inlelli
gence, who even though they should be
in the minority there might do much good
iu correcting, amending and shaping the
action of the Convention in such a, man
ner as to make it less objectionable to
the people, and less destructive to the
true interests of the State. Upon this
p lint wc difler.fiom the CundUtUumatishs,
which says :
“It is argued by some that we should
send our best men to the Convention.
How many of our “best men'’ could or
would go; and, if elected, what good
could they accomplish in the face of mob
leaders and mob itiflner.ee to bo anajed
against them ’ If w • had a grudge and
wished to gratify it, we would bo satis
fied to see our respectable private ene
my put to bay and brought to shame in
the Convention.”
We believe much good might be ac
complished iti the Convention it it is held,
hv the presence there id “our best men,”
and for ourselves we can see no good
reason why any gentleman and patriot
,-!„mld decline to serve the people in this
bouVuf tiiai and danger. I pon this lat
a
ter point however, we desire no contro
versy with our neighbor, or those who
entertain similar views. The objects
which wc all have at heart is the same
the deftftoclkin of the Radical party in
the State and -the preservation of the
rights and liberties of the white race.—
We are net disposed to quarrel about the
best method of obtaining this desirable
result. This line of policy which we
propose does not conflict with the lead
ing idea of the CohklUhftjnWiM— the do
i feat of tlie Con ren tion tots. We only
propose to go a little further arid "Wye”
against the posibility of the success of
the cmiventionists.
This plan of abstaining from voting
lias just been tried in Alabama. It wits
not suggested very generally in the
State until within a few days before the
election. In many parts of the State the
Conservatives were net fully advised as
to the course which their friends would
pursue. The returns however, so far as
received, show that if the Convention is
not defeated in that State, the majority
sot it will bo very small. From partial
returns of the two first days voting in
fifteen comities, which we find in the
Montgomery Advertiser, it appears that
but 35,528 votes were cast where there
had been 61,400 rrgislcml. We are
quite confident that the Convention can
be defeated in this State if the Conserva
tives will abstain from voting on the
question. Many thousands ol register
ed voters will not vote, and if to these
he added the Conservative strength, we
have strong grounds for the hope that
these inquilies of the Sherman Dili can
not he saddled upon tis.
[We copy the foregoing article from
the Augusta Gh'onicle Sentinel, and
recommend the suggestion advanced as
the true policy to be pursued by those
who desire to defeat the proposed State
Convention.]
Wilkes Booth Alive.
A strange story is published in the St.
Louis Democrat (Radical paper), going
to show that Wilkes Booth is really alive.
It is an entirely different a flair from the
Fast India story that went the rounds a
while back. The substance of it in brief
is, that a refugee from the Stale of Ala
bama, employed in 1864 and 18G5 in the
Quartermaster’s department at Washing
ton, has knowledge of the fact that lie,
(Wilkes Booth) was alive, in the city of
Washington, June Ist, 1865—several
weeks after the Lincoln assassination—
and that 1.0 Qlic deponent) has reason
to believe he now resides in some foreign
country. Deponent also states that he
was under the same roof with Booth, one
night, and on geting up in the morning
(Booth meanwhile, being gone) he pick
ed up a note, of which the following is a
wpy:
Dr. Friend—l shall ever remember
your kindness. The J. 1). Government
cannot aid me now, and if I fail to es
cupe, God only knows my fate, and your
arm will be powerless. If you succeed
in yinn- !>r-> V I shall returm otherwise,
never. Yes, I leave lounorrow. Yours,
in life and death. J. W.B.
Kiuliciilism In Florida-
We are informed by the Quincy (Fla.)
Commonwealth, that the white and color
ed radicals held a meeting in that town
on the 2nd inst., at which candidates for
the State Constitutional Convention were
nominated. The following is the plat
form of principles adopted:
1. Universal suffrage.
2. Eligibility of blacks as jurors and
ofiioo holders.
3 A general disfranchisement of South
era whites.
4. Social equality.
Jefferson Davis' Trial.
The Washington Chroncln of the Ist
says : The Government has not author
ized the publication of any intimation as
to its course in the trial of Jefferson Da
vis at the November term of the Circuit
Court in Richmond consequently all the
statements that have heretofore been
published are mere surmises. It is semi
officially stated, however, that the Gov
ernment will be obliged to ask for a fur
ther postponement of the trial, which re
quest will assuredly be followed by a
motion on the part of the council for the
defence to enter a nolle prosequi.
On the contrary a dispatch from Rich
mond on the 7th, says that the following
facts in relation to the coming trial of
Mr. Davis arc from the best autority :
Tho trial is set down for the fourth Mon
day in Novemt>cr, and as the Govern
ment will not interfere, there will be no
postponement by council on either side.
The offence of levying war against th
United States will be testified to by
Judge Scarborough, of Norfolk, Hon.
John Goode, mombe:' ol the Confederate
Congress, and Capt; Hendrix, who were
compelled to appear before the Norfolk
grand jury, and testify to the facts upon
which the indictment was made. There
will lie very few it any witnesses for the
defence. The fact of leving war being
admitted, the prosecution will then pro
ceed with the legal argument that the
I prisoner is guilty of treason and the conn
stl for defence will argue that, being a
! citizen of a State and under its law pris
oner’s allegiance was duo to it, and not
first to the United States.
It lias been positively asserted that
Judge Chase would preside, but as the
Supreme Court commences its session on
the first Monday in December, this is not
possible. The trial is expected to last
several weeks.
Capt. Fnrgeson, of the schoonoi Abide
8., which arrived here from the Satilla
yesterday, reports a disastrous freshet
on that liver. The rice fields are flooded,
and the grain, which has been cut and
stacked in the fields, is floating over the
I fields and in ti c river. This news is ex
j coedingly unfortunate, and it is to be
i Imped that the injury to the crop will
not prove as bad as the Captain reports.

War Sensations in Knrope.
Foreign correspondents continue to re
port that the opinion is gaining ground
that there will lie war in Europe next
summer. There is but little trade in any
tiling but breach loaders. Every word
uttered by’the French Emperor is scan
cd with a feverish curiosity. The ranks
of his army are full. Immense quanti
ties of oats arc going from the North of
Europe to France. As fast as a French
regiment is trained iu the nse of the
Cliassepot rifle it is moved toward the
Rhine Frontier. Sixty thousand men
are massed near Luxembourg. The new
cannon which fires twenty balls a min
ute and mows down a forest a mile off is
exciting a great sensation. If half repor
ted of it is true nothing can stand be
fo>-e it. Then night battles are being or
ganized and night signals arranged, so
that if the French cannot shoot their op
ponents, they can attack them with the
bayonet under cover of darkness. Na
poieon is to be the master of the situation
however the war may begin. Though
who will be his enemies and his allies, is
not yet apparent. Brivate letters from
influential persons speak quite as gloom
ily of the threatening aspect of affairs.

I am free to state that unless the Con
sevvative element of the nation soon a
w» ens to the dangers which threaten
the liberties of the country, I confiden
tially believe that its form of govern
ment will ere long be changed to a mili
tary despotism, after a period of anarchy
more or less prolo ged.”

The Northern Election#.
Otl Tuesday last, elections took place
in Oiiio, Bonn-ylvaiiia, Minnesota and
lowa. Tire result is locked for with
great interest, and it is possible wc may
have sufficient returns before going to
press to enable us to give an expression
as to tire result. But, like tlie Tallahas
see Floridian, wc frankly’ confess that
we are somewhat consoled in advance by
the proverb which saith: “Blessed are
they who expect nothing, for verily they
shall not I e disappointed.” We advise
our readers to betake themselves to the
same sort of philosophy. The few small
drops of comfort drawn from wh vt was
so unexpectedly achieved in California,
and tho gains in Maine and elsewhere,
are apt to excite undue expectations,
which may not be realized. There is un
questionably a reaction taking place
among the Northern people, but wc
have not seen sufficient evidence of it as
yet to inspire us with much hope tiiat
the large majorities by which the States
mentioned were carried by the Radicals
a y’car or so ago, are so soon to be over
come. It is possible, and if you please,
probable, that in Pennsylvania the Dem
ocrats will elect their candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, but nil the
others Will go Radical, beyond question,
though by diminished majorities. In
Ohio, the destructives have abandoned
negro suffrage as an issue, leaving their
adherents to vote as they please on the
question, with the assurance that vote
how they will, their standing is not to be
affected with the party, provided they
sus ! ain the State ticket for Governor, etc.
Tliis abandonment will save them.
We trust we may be mistaken, and if
it shall turn out that we are, no one will
rejoice more lustily. The Northern Con
servative press is quite hopeful—in fact,
is rather jubilant in prospect of "the
good time coining.” Iret it come; God
knows it is very much needed.
The Democracy Triumphant!
By dispatches in the Savannah papers
es the 9lli, wc are enabled to announce
tlie gratifying intelligence, that the elec
tion# in the Northern States on Tuesday
last, resulted in a glorious triumph of the
Constitution and Conservatism.
