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.

(From the Columbus Enquirer. 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. ”

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.

been an advance, somewhat fluctuating, and the price

gave more confidence, and the basis of sales was 23@

Atlanta, Ga., March Sd, 1868.
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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

REMARKABLE CURE OF CANCER ON THlfi
FACE OF FOURTEEN TEARS’ STANDING.
This will certify that I have suffered with caacer
on my face for the past fourteen years. It has re
sisted all treatment, until I applied to Dr. L. DeLacee,
at the Augusta Hotel, the 10th day of last month.
He took the cancer out, roots and all, thd Bth day, by
medicines. It healed of its own accord, and now I
am entirely cured of cancer, and able to say to all that
may be afflicted with tbis most terrible disease that,
if you apply in time, while your case is curable, you
will be cured. The Doctor has cured others in the
same time, some that I am acquainted with, who
live in this city. lam sixty years of age, and have
resided in Augusta four years.

MORE EXTRAORDINARY CURES.
Augusta, Ga., November 21,1867.
This will certify that I have been afflicted with can
cer in the root of my mouth. It was so painful that
I could not rest night or day. It was with great diffi
culty that I could get fcod enough by it to support
life. It resisted all medical treatment, and finally eat
entirely through the roof of my mouth into my nose.
I applied to Dr. Ds Lac be just four weeks ago to
day, and am cow able to announce, for the benefit of
those that may be suffering from this terrible disease
that I am entirely cured of cancer, and restored to
perfect health, and am as well as I was before being
afflicted. Miss Beulah Guillarg.
STILL ANOTHER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA
CURED OF EATING CANCER OF SEVEN
YEARS’ STANDING.
I certify to the facts in my case for the benefit of
those that are afflicted with cancer. I have suffered
with eating cancer upon my lace and nose for the past
seven years. I was prostrated in general health and
as weak as a child, and was unable to walk to see the
doctor; my son took me in a carriage. My cancer at
that time was eating away and spreading faster every
day. I applied to Dr. DbLacbb, at tbe Augusta Hotel,
four weeks ago last Saturday, and now 1 am healed
of cancer, restored to health and strength and have
an excellent appetite, and am gaining more strength
daily. I cannot express my gratitude for my deliver
ance. My cancer was taken out by one application,
and dropped out the seventh day. lam sixty-seven
years or age, and have been a resident of Augusta
nineteen years, and my health is as good now as it
was twenty years ago. Hundreds ot the citizens of
Augusta will attest to the above.
