Sxtr It is generally believed that the State Convention will l>e ordered to as scmblc, not at the Capitol, tmt at Allan fca. It \« swr mised that more jxncertul influence* can behrought to bear iu At lanta than Millcdgeville. A Telegram from New Orleans, with reference to the election recently held iu xjiat city, says “tbc ncwly-entranchised £ fVeedtnen have the election all to tbem "" selves, and enjoy the change hugely, parading the streets in their holiday cos- tunics, and armed with knives, revolvers, and heavy bludgeons.” The Montgomery Mail says the elec tion farce passed off quietly in that nty, and to the entire satisfaction of the bo gus voters, the white swindlers who nt in aged it. No conservatives went to the polls. The negroes were driven to the polls like sheep, and deposited their bal lots. Over one thousand negro boys i minors I voted. Vv. 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. ■ NWr* if' Herald. SUnte Item**.

Welles has ordered a naval officer to be court martialed for saying that the [’resident ought to be impeached. A Mr. Whitney, of Texas, was lately fined fifty dollars for speaking disrespect lully of a negro Bureau agent. There is great excitement at Victoria, British Columbia, over a supposed vol canic eruption sixty-five miles distant, in the Cascade range. The “Rising Sons of Liberty” is the title of a negro organization in tho sever al Southern States, of a military charac ter which is creating no little anxiety. Bresident Johnson has declared to a friend that he shall make a stand in op isition to Congress if it attempts to suspend him during tho impeachment trial. It is proposed to hold a public moot ing in New York soon to consider a pro ject for an Atlantic Branch of the Union Bacific Railroad or an air line toad from the Atlantic ocean to St Loifis. At Jackson Barracks, New Orleans, and at the military Hospital at Green ville, Louisiana, there liavo been more than a hundred Ccaths of soldiers of the First United States Infantry from yellow fever. It is reported that Sec. McCulloch is about to commission a number of agents to examine into the financial affairs id tic National Banks in ail the large cities, with a view to ascertain the actual amount of deposits in each. It seems that enough votes have been east in Louisiana to enable the Radicals to carry out their scliomc ol reconstruc tion. The Convention to frame anew Constitution will meet at Baton Rouge next month. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, says in his dispatch of September HO : “It is known positively that the Bresident has made a foimu 1 tender of the »Secre.tary.ship of the Treas ury ti Robert J. Walker, lie is to as sume the duties of the office after the elections next month. Whether the post tion was made contingent upon the char acter ■ f the elections is not known.” 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. Gex. Bkacrkgard’s Opinion.—“ Being still an “outlaw” in my own native coun try, I do not feel called upon to publicly uphold its Government, especially at this time when the country is divided in opin ion as to whether Congress or the Exec utive constitute “the Government.” But 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.” A writer who has kept a record, states that during 1866, two hundred hives were lost and six millions ol prop ct'.y destroyed, by kerosene explosions.

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.
