by telegraph.! associated press dispatches. Louisiana. Nkw Orleans, Match 2. The convention to day adopted the remain ing articles of the constitution, and theu adopt ed it as a whole, by a vole of 64 to 6. A com mittee of three was appointed to enroll and have it ready for signature by to-morrow noon. New Orleans, March 8. In convention yesterday some of the mem bers, voting for the adoption of the constitu tion as a whole, entered a protest against por tions of it. Protest of Judge Crawford, who voted against adoption. In the Bill of Rights social equality is at tempted to be enforced, aud the right of citi zens to control their own property attempted to be taken from them. A judicial system has been adopted, which is radically defective, and will render uncertain and insecure the rights to property, and lives, and liberty of the people. A system public education has been adopted which will force heavy contributions from tax payers, and will entirely prevent any public schools from being carried into effect and tend to prevent the rising generation from being educated, and entail upon the State a large class of ignorant inhabitants and subject the State to exclusive control of the ignorant and unedu cated. A system of proscription has been adopted, which attempts to deprive a large class of citi zens of the privilege of voting or holding office, who are liable to pay taxes and assist in bearing the burden of government, and the manner of the restoriation to franchise is calculated to invite the unprincipled to participate in voting and office and to drive away the good and honorable. The oath of office is inconsistent with the constitu tion, and is absurd, disgraceful and ridiculous. The direct tendency of the constitution, as a whole, is to engender and perpetuate a state of strife between the citizens of the State to such an extent as will tend to hostile collisions, an archy and the utter subversion of all law and government. That the adoption of the consti tution will drive many good citizens from, and prevent emigration to, the State, retard her progress, and destroy her internal improve ments, blight her prosperity and destroy her peace and happiness. Thos. P. Harrison protested against the con stitution as a whole, in addition to reasons as signed by Crawford, that he was opposed to any disfranchisement, and in his opinion the whole plan of reconstruction is agrarian and ad verse to Christian civilization. Article 158 was amended yesterday to make New Orleans the Capital of the State instead of Baton Rouge. Against this also a protest was en tered. The convention to-day adopted an ordinance relative to the collection of a special tax. Adjourned till Thursday. New Orleans, March 4. To-day is very generally observed. The fire men’s parade was a magnificent turn out. No evening papers are published and the convention is not in session. New Orleans, March 5. In convention another attempt at amend ment of article 98, to relieve from disfranchise ment. The Chair decided any motion to amend after the adoption as a whole was out of order. The constitution not being ready for signa ture, the convention adjourned. The Democratic State Convention is in ses sion to-night. New Orleans, March 6. The following order was issued last night : Headquarters Fifth Military District New Orleans, La., March 6. General Orders, No. 50: Extract 2.—By direction of General Grant so much of paragraph 4, Special Orders, No. 26, current series from these headquarters, dated February sth, 1868, as relieves William Baker from the office of Street Commissioner for the city of New Orleans, and appoints Geo. D. Field in hts place, is hereby revoked, and the said William Baker is hereby reinstated, and will resume the duties of said office ot Street Commissioner for the city of New Or leans, the same as if said order of removal had not been made. By command of Maj. Gen. W. 8. Hancock. Geo. L. Hartsuff, Assistant Adjutant General. Gen. Jas. B. Steedman was nominated one of the delegates for the State at large, to the National Democratic Convention by the State Convention, last night. The other dele gates at large are B. F. Jones, Jas. McCloskev and Duncan S. Cage. City currency has again decreased ; a few brokers buy it at 20 per cent, discount, and most refuse to purchase on any terms. A card is published, to the effect that vendors in public markets will wholly refuse to take it as cur rency after the 10th inst. General distrust prevails, owing to Grant’s action in reinstating deposed city officials. This evening’s Picayune has a caustic edito rial upon the partizanship manifested in Grant’s late action with regard to the municipal gov ernment of this city. In convention to-day a resolution approving the impeachment of President Johnson was offered and laid over. A resolution was offered by Cromwell (ne gro) to the effect that as the presence of Jeffer son Davis, thearcA traitor, etc., was detrimental to peace and order, he be notified to leave State within twenty-four hours. The resolution caused considerable indigna tion. Blackburn said it was barbarism to order Davis, who is now, in one sense, in shackles and a prisoner, out of the State. He said he re garded him personally as a brave and candid man, but politically a traitor, and moved that the resolution be returned to the delegate from whom it emanated. Carried by 66 to 5. A resolution to print 10,000 copies of the constitution in pamphlet form was adopted, but subsequently reconsidered and tabled. In debate upon this resolution, it was stated by a member that the amount expended by the convention for printing will reach one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. A resolution was adopted that no member be elected a registrar who is a candidate for any office under this constitution. A motion to go into an election for registra tion was adopted. Adjourned. New Orleans, March 7. The city Finance Committee to-day tele graphed to New York to stop printing city notes, as no more will be signed or issued from the treasury—probably be entirely withdrawn from circulation. The constitution was signed to-day by 76 members of the convention, 7 refusing to sign. A resolution was adopted that the pay of del egates cease from this date, though the conven tion adjourned to meet on Monday for the elec tion of registrars. A resolution was offered and tabled yester day, authorizing the publication, by Republican office, of 10 000 copies of the constitution in pamphlet form—taken up to-day and adopted.

I Comptroller Burns’ Books Again—The Truth I in a Nut-Shell, Ac- Milledgeville, March 2, IS6S. Editor Columbus Enquirer : Dear Sih : In iny letter of February Ist, published in the Enquirer of the 9th ultimo, 1 made but one charge as to Mr. Comptroller Burns, and it was as follows, to wit: “ Mr. Burns, upon retiring from office, turned over to Gen. Ruger, or left in the office for Capt. Wheaton, his successor, the Tax Digests of 1867 (132 In number,) together with an ac count book against the different Collectors of 1867, showing the original amount charged, the amount paid, and the amount due by each, &c.” This was the only charge made. The balance ot my letter went on to show the importance of withholding these books from the new au thorities, to prevent them from collecting the taxes, contrary to Gov. Jenkins’ order, and stating what 1 would have done, tic.., «fcc. For simply doing this, and nothing more, the Rome Courier assailed me grossly, charging me with slandering Mr. Burns, and of being governed “ more from personal pique and malice than patriotism,” &c. Having address ed a letter to the editor, referring him to a let ter in the hands of Mr. Sneed, editor of the Macon Telegraph, to obtain further informa tion that would satisfy him he was wrong in his assertions, &c., I will say no more about it here. But was my original charge true? My letter to Mr. Sneed (one of Mr. Burns’ special friends) contained evidence upon evidence on the subject. But since writing the letter to the Rome Courier, it occurred to me that I would establish the truth of my charge in a more simple and plainer way, and consequently on the 20th ult. I proceeded to do it. Below you will find a note addressed to Capt. Wheaton, the present Provisional Comptroller General. You will perceive that I copied my “ charge,” from your paper, only leaving out the words “ 132 in number” as unimportant, and to save Captain W. the trouble of counting the digests. Here is the note and the prompt reply: Milledgeville, Feb. 20, 1868. Capt. C. Wheaton, Comptroller General: Dear Sir : I have stated publicly, as a fact, that “ Mr. Burns (the late Comptroller) upon retiring from office, turned over to Gen. Ruger, or left in the office for Capt. Wheaton, his suc cessor, the Tax Digests of 1867, together with an account book against the different Collectors of 1867, showing the original amount charged, the amount paid, and the mount due by each, Ac.” Please say whether or not I have stated the truth. Very respectfully, &c., Peterson Thweatt. Comptroller General’s Office, ) Milledgeville, Feb. 20,1868. ) Peterson Thweatt, Esq. : Sir : Yours of this day is before me, and I have to say, in reply, that you have stated the truth. The Tax Digests and account book against the Collectors, alluded to in your note, are now in the Comptroller General’s office, in my pos session. Very respetfully, yours, &c., C. Wheaton, Captain U. S. Army, Provisional Comptroller General. This, I think, is plain enough for even those who “ don't want to see the truth." The Rome Courier says some “frieudi” or “ statesmen” advised Mr. Burns to leave the Tax Digest in the Comptroller’s office, because duplicates could have been obtained in the dif ferent counties. Any one who has read my letter of February Ist, published in your paper, will be satisfied that these “ friends” or “ states men” (if the statement be true) did not know much about what they were advising. The Comptroller beintr familiar with the books and business of the office, ought to have been able to have properly advised them about the matter. But the Rome Courier (publishing Mr. Burns’ and Capt. Wheaton’s letters, and conducting his defense) says nothing about the most import ant book of all, viz : the account book against the different Collectors oflWt, showing the original amount charged, the amount paid by different Collectors, at different times, and the amount due by each, Ac. This book could not be duplicated without the original or blotter, which the new authorities now have in possession. The giving up this book completely put the Tax Collectors under the control of the new Comp troller General, and at least defeated Governor Jenkins' purpose to delay the collection of the texes until the Ist of May. The giving up this book not only did this, but it “ let out” im mediate trouble Mr. Comptroller Burns, and it “put in” immediate trouble all the Tax Collec tors who had not settled their accounts in full. Surely no “ statesman” or “ statesmen” advised the giving up this book (upon a “ demand” or “call” from an unlawful Governor), with these consequences ! I am, Mr. Editor, very respectfully and truly yours, Peterson Thweatt. ” Convention Tax. The following instructions to Tax Collectors have been issued from the Comptroller Gener al’s office : Office Comptroller General, ) Milledgeville, Ga., February 25,1868. )" Tax Collectors of Counties: In compliance with an order this day issued by the Provisional Governor of Georgia, di recting the Comptroller General to collect the tax directed to be raised by the Georgia Con stitutional Convention, in the manner and for the purpose therein provided, and as required by General Order No. 24, Headquarters Third Military District, Atlanta, Ga., February 14th, 1868 (a copy of which is furnished with this), the several Tax Collectors are hereby ordered to proceed immediately to the collection of the tax, aud to forward the amounts required by this order to Bvt. Captain C. F. Rockwell, U. 8. A., Provisional Treasurer of Georgia. The Collectors will be governed by the same instructions as heretofore in relation to the collection of tax. The tax required is one tenth of one per cent, on ail the taxable proper ty of this State as returned on the Digests for the year 1867, which will be one-third of the aimount assessed for your county on the gener al tax of that year. A strict and prompt com pliance with the provisions ot this order will be enforced. 11. Tax Collectors will immediately proceed to forward to Bvt. Captain Charles F. Rock well, U. 8. A., Provisional Treasurer of Geor gia, all money now in their possession, collect ed on the general tax of 1867. Those whose accounts are unsettled are hereby required to have them ready for settlement on or before the 15th day ot April, 1868. Uncollected spe cific tax on liquors, for 1867, will be forwarded by the same time. Very respectfully, &c t , C. Wheaton, Capt.JU. 8. A., Comptroller General. Receipts of Cotton in Athens.—Through the courtesy of Capt. Jones, Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue for this district, we are en abled'to present the following statement of the receipts of cotton at this point from Sept. 1, 1867, to March 1, 1868: Received at the three factories 2,730 bales Other receipts 3,701 bales ' Total 6,431 bales We have included in “ other receipts ” 150 bales in store in town and not yet weighed. The receipts for February, weighed by Cap tain Jones, were 1,754 bales, making, with the amount received at the factories, about 2,000 bales during that month. It is thought that there may be between one and two thousand bales more received during the present cotton year.— Banner. San Francisco, March 4.—Gov. Haight, in a message to the Senate, declines to forward resolutions indorsing the action of Congress on the impeachment of the President, on the ground it would improperly influence the judgment of the Senate, sitting as a court.— The assembling resolutions expressing sympa thy for the President were not liable to the same objections, or he would not have trans mitted them. The message was sustained by he casting vote of the Lieutenant Governor. Patrick told his sweetheart he “ could not slape tor dreaming ot her.” ' AUGUSTA MARKET. Reported for the, Constitutionalist.

This certifies that I have suffered exceedingly with a large tumor on the left side of my face for twenty-five years. During this age of tor ture it has been removed twice by painful sur gical operations, which only seemed to aggra vate its growth. When Dr. Roberts came to Atlanta I took treatment by Animal Magnetism, and have been greatly benefitted by him, in point of truth, more than by the entire twenty seven “ regular” doctors who have attended me. Under the treatment, the tumor softened and reduced in size, the hearing in my left ear has been restored, and my left arm, which was al most useless, has been restored to its original strength. I can now sleep on my left side, a thing I could not do for many years before. I firmly believe if I could continue the treatment the tn mor would entirely disappear. Mrs. J. G. McLin. Prof. Roberts will continue to heal the sick, at Augusta Hotel, until March 35, or longer. mhs-d2*cl (From the Huntsville (Ala.,) “Independent,” Dac. 25th, 1867. A Most Wonderful Case.—Jesse Redford, who is well known in this county, who now lives at Monte Sano, but who formerly lived at Whitesburg, in this county, has been afflicted with sore eyes for about three years. He has been treated by several physicians, who did not give him much relief. He continued to grow worse, until his eyesight seemed to be wholly gone. He could not see to walk, but had to be led about. About ten days ago he put himself under the care of Prof. Roberts, the great Magnetic Doctor, who has been treating him since, and a most wonderful improvement has taken place. His eyesight is being gradually restored, and he can now see to walk anywhere without assistance, and can also distinguish large letters. This is truly a wonderful case, and shows Prof. Roberts to be oue of the great est men of the age. Mr. Radford made the statement to us in person, and we can vouch for its truth. We trust he may be fully restored. Prof. Roberts will heal the sick, at Augus ta Hotel, until March 25tb, or longer. mh4-d2<fccl. [From the Huntsville (Ala.) Independent, of Dec. 28th, 1867. Since Prof. Roberts, the great Magnetic Doc tor. has been in our city, he has treatd over three hundred patients, and has been success ful in many severe cases of affliction. We have witnessed his treatment of several patients, and were astonished at his success. The Doctor will remain until December 31st, and those who wish to consult him here, should do so before that time. He goes from here to Atlanta, Ga. mh-dlicl Great Triumph of Animal Magnetism in Augusta.—Augusta, Ga., February 29th, 1868. This is to certify that I have been treated by Prof. Roberts for a dropsical tumor in the left side, with which I have been afflicted for the last seven years, and am confident that I am en tirely cured, not having experienced any of the unpleasant symptoms which I did before the treatment, and this by animal magnetism. Martha A. Gordon. I am cognizant of all the tacts contained in the above statement, the lady having been a member of my family for a number of years. Andrew G. LaTaste. Prof. Roberts will continue to heal the sick, at the Augusta Hotel, until March 35tb, 1868. mh3-d6&c3 RHEUMATISM CURED BY MAGNETISM I Augusta Hotel, March 6,1868. This certifies that I have been a great sufferer with rheumatism for five years, my left ankle being much swollen, very stiff and painful. I was treated twice, only, by Dr. Roberts at the Augusta Hotel, February 18th and 20th, 1868, and now have not one symptom ot rheumatism or pain in my body. All the medicine I had taken seemed to make me worse ; and I never had any relief until I was treated magnetically. People may laugh—but I have no more rheu matic pains—that’s so. I work in Augusta Hotel. [Signed] Nancy Mason. mhß-d4clt EORGIA, GLASSCOCK COUNTY.-Where as, William R.
