ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WlffiN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT-’’—Jefferson.
ATLANTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1865. =
NUMBER 15.
A
further reference ia made to the second wife of
Viscount Palmerston than that her name was
Mary Mee and that her father was Benjamin
Mee. Burke calls him “Benjamin Mee, Esq.”
In the absence of all allusion to her family con
nections the inference Is almost if not quite inev
itable that the lady was of obscure birth. Mary
Mee became a peeress in the right of her hus
band, by her marriage, on the 7th of January,
1784.
Of Lord Palmerston’s relations with Queen
Victoria the following incidents are related
Palmerston’s relations with Queen Victoria were
never so cordial as those of his political oppo
nent, Lord Derby; and between the Prime Min
ister and the Prince of Wales there was till re
cently an open feud. The arrogant bearing of
the Minister was at the bottom of this dislike.—
At times he assumed almost the functions of roy
altv. In 1850, when Lord John Russell was
Prime Minister and Palmerston Foreign Secre
tary', tbs Queen addressed to Lord Russell the
following piquant note
The Queen requires, first, that Lord Palmer
ston will distinctly state wliat he proposes in a
f iven case in order that the Queen may know as
istinctly to what she is giving her royal sanc
tion ; secondly, hating once given her’ sanction
to a measure, that it be not arbitrarily altered or
modified by the minister. Such an act she must
consider as failing in sincerity to the Crown, and
Justly to be visited by the exercise of her consti
tutional right of dismissing that minister. She
expects to be kept informed of what passes be
tween him and the Foreign Minister before im
portant decisions are taken based upon that in
tercourse; to receive the foreign dispatches in
good time, and to have the drafts for her approval
sent to her in sufficient time to make herself ac
quainted with their contents before they mast be
sent off. The Queen thinks it liest that Lord
John Russell should show this letter to Lord
PalmerstoD.
Russell did so. The imperturbable Palmerston
sent word back that lie had taken a copy of the
memorandum and would not fail to attend to the
directions given, and went on just the same as
before. A few months later he recognized Na
poleon’s coup d'etat without authority from either
Queen or Cabinet. The Queen indignantly de
manded an explanation, and Palmerston coolly
replied by renewing his dispatch of recognition,
leaving poor little Russell aghast at his temerity.
After this the Queen iiad no option but to dismiss
her rebellious Minister, and she did so. But
Palmerston’s object was accomplished, and Na
poleon has since held undisturbed possession of
the throne of France.
The following relation of Lord P.’9 marriage,
and of an amusing mistake made by Ex-Presi
dent Buchanan, when lie was American Minister
at London, upon being introduced to Lady Pal
merston, will cause the reader to smile if “noth
ing more.” “Old Buck,” it will be seen, “put his
foot in it” for once:
Lord Palmerston was not married until he was
fifty-five years of age. His chosen wife was the
widow of the Earl of Cowper. At the time of
their marriage Lady Palmerston was about thir
ty-seven years of age. She also had four chil
dren, the issue of the Earl of Cowper, and all of
whom were married at the time of her second
marriage. One of the daughters, Emily Caroline
Catherine Frances, was married to Lord Ashley,
heir to the earldom of Shaftsbury, and the other
to the Viscount Jocelyn. Her eldest son by Earl
Cowper is the present peer of that name. Lady
Palmerston was an accomplished and fascinating
woman, and after her second marriage attained
a celebrity in the social life of the metropolis
scarcely inferior to that which the political abil
ity and active genius of her husband have won
for him on the Continent of Europe. She was,
like her husband, a great diplomatist. It was
through her efforts that the reconciliation took
place between her husband and Lord John Rus
sell, which resulted in the formation of the Cabi
net now dissolved by Palmerston’s death. She
was an early flame of Palmerston’s when she
was Lady Emily Penniston, and he faithfully
waited for her many years, gladly taking her
when at an uncertain age and with her four in
cumbrances. When Mr. Buchanan was Minister
to England he met and was introduced to Lady
Palmerston and her children by Lord Palmer
ston, who alluded to his stepsons and daughters
as if thej r were his own children. Mr. Buchanan
was not very well posted,in the English society,
and the Book of Peers, and the noble lord was
rather taken aback by his complimenting him
on the remarkable resemblance which they bore
to him.

JOHN H. STEELE, - - - - - Editor.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
1805.
Wednesday, November 10,
The Oi.d “Richmond Enquirer.”—This once
highly influential Southern journal, which, un
de'- the direction of the elder Ritchie for more
than a quarter of a century, became famous
throughout the “Union,” especially during that
period of its existence when it advocated the
election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency
and sustained his administration afterwards, has
passed away like other good old thingB in the
proud old Commonwealth $f Virginia, to be re
vived, we notice, under the new jjolifical regime, in
which we all have to play new parts, surrounded
as we a re, by new circumstances brought about
bv the sword’s extinction of an institution, to
maintain which, in the South, her people went to
war. In announcing the appearance of (he new
“Richmond Enquirer” the editor in his salutato
ry says:
So many end so great changes have taken place
since the’ last issue of the Enquirer that we
scarcely know how to introduce this our first ed
itorial. That great cause at whose cradle we sat,
and whose hearse we followed, has gone down
forever ; its great issues are dead, ana its princi
pies lost. Itowever tender and dear may be its
memories, we shall not seek to revive its issues,
or reanimate its hopes. We shall turn our atten
tion ami devote all our energies to the living
present, and endeavor to exercise some influence
for good to our people and State in the uncertain
future.
The oath of allegiance taken by ourselves, in
common with our fellow citizens, has afar differ
ent significance now than the same oath could
have had before the unsettled question of su
premacy between the State and Federal Govern
ments had been decided by the arbitrament of
war. Now we acknowledge allegiance first to
the Union; before we held obedience to be due
first to the State. The same honesty and sinceri
ty which made the sons of Virginia brave the
dangers of battle, and suffer uncomplainingly
the hardships of lour years of war, will make
them true aud faithful to their oath of allegiance.
The distrust and suspicion that throughout the
Northern States attaches to the people of the
Southern States is the natural result of the pas
sions of four yearn of civil war. Such feelings
are passing away from the great mass of the
Northern people, and becoming odious in those
thut retain them. Our people have so home
themselves in the trying ordeal of the last four
years that they can afford to wait for that magna
nimity which their heroic conduct must eventu
ally excite in the minds of the people of the
Northern States. The time must come when
Stonewall Jackson will be as much admired
North as he is beloved South; and then the cause,
and him who illustrated it, will be rightly judged.
We notice also the following appeal in an edi
torial article, in behalf of Jefferson Davis, which,
for rare eloquence, is worth the reader’s atten
tion, and which, of itself alone, bears testimony
to the ability with which the new “Enquirer” is
being conducted;
The policy of President Johnson for the resto
ration of the States to equal rights in the Union
commends itself to the gratitude and affection of
the people of the Southern States. In mitiga
ting the exercise of those rights which conquest
gave, he has exhibited a magnanimity and kind
ness toward the people of these States as great
as it was unexpected. He has won their grati
tude, and will not fail to receive their cordial
support. That he is moving onward in the work
of restoration quite as fast as he deems prodent
cannot be doubted, and that he means to make
the restoration cf the Union the great distinguish
ing feature of his administration, must be appa
rent to every one. But the work of restoration
applies to individuals as well as to States, and
while Mississippi is restored, Jefferson Davis,
whom she carried out, languishes in prison. His
pardon and liberation would crown the work of
restoration with completeness, and leav6 nq is-
■ue between the North and the South. His im
prisonment agitates the public mind, unsettles
national thoughts, and disturbs the harmony of
the Union. One-half of the nation would trem
ble at his trial, the other half would blush at his
conviction, and the world would stand aghast at
his execution. What good en.l doesdiis impris
onment serve 1 Does it make treason odious ?
Was the memory of Emmett made odious by
his execution ? Were Louis Blanc, Ledru Rol-
lin, and their fellow-exiles made odious by ban
ishment from France What impartial jury can
try him ¥ What unprejudiced judge can admin
ister justice? Shall loyal men only sit upon
that jury? Shall only a loyal judge try the
case ? Then as well condemn him without the
formalities of a trial, as bring him before men
whose passions aud convictions, influenced by
the issues of a four years war, have made them
prejudge and predecide the ease. Jefferson Da
vis can never be made odious by trial, conviction
or execution, or by all combined. There is not
one man in these Soutlieru States less guilty of
treason or patriotism, whichever it may be called,
than Jefferson Davis. He was the agent; the
people, the principal—and all are guilty in kind
and degree. The war was the work of a con
stitutional construction, which the framers left
unsettled, and which disturbed the politics of the
country from ’80 to ’60, and which culminated
not in treason, but iu blood. That question of
constitutional construction was settled fiilly and
finally at Appomattox Court House, by the sur
render of General Lee—and the trial of Jefferson
Davis would give to it no greater finality. There
fore, in the name of the people of Virginia, we
most earnestly ask the President for the libera
tion of Mr. Davis.
We refer to the revival of this old journal, and
publish the lbregoing extracts from it, in order
to enable its old patrons in Georgia to judge of
its position, and to renew their subscriptions to
it. In its now acknowledged allegiance to the
“Union,” in its efforts to promote peace and good
will between all sections thereof, there is both a
sincerity and patriotism which should commend
it to a renewal of their support.
Romance in High Life —The New York pa
pers of the 1st instant, contain interesting obitu
ary notices of Lord Palmerston, late Prime Min
ister of Great Britain, whose death occurred on
the 18th ultimo. This British nobleman, and
statesman for over half a century, had he lived
two days longer would have reached the ad
vanced age of eighty-one years, having been born
on the 20th October, 1794. Among the obituary
notices of him which appear in the New York
papers, that of the Herald is most extended and
interesting, embracing as it does many facts and
anecdotes connected with the deceased and his
family. The following piece of romance which
we extract front that journal's obituary notice
will, we have no doubt, interest our readers:
Henrv John Temple, Visopunt Palmerston, of
the peerage of Ireland, was Lorn at Broadlands,
In Hampshire, on the 20th of October, 1784, and
had he lived two days longer would consequent
ly have been eiglity-one years of age. He was
tie first bora of the second and verv romantic
marriage of his father, Viscount Palmerston,
with Mary Mee, the daughter of an Irish hatter.
The story has been fully authenticated, but has
t ever been authoritatively denied, and has been
frequently reproduced in various novels and plays.
The storv is as follows; The Vi9connt, after his
bereavement of his first wife, was riding on
horseback through the streets of Dublin, and was
thrown, and had one of his limbs fractured. He
was carried into an adjacent house, and, upon
medical assistance being summoned, it was found
that it would be dangerous or fatal to have him
removed. The house was occupied by a respec
table hatter in middling circumstances. The
hatter’s daughter undertook the task of nursing
the injured peer. The consequence of her atten
tions was that they fell in love with each other,
and the result was their marriage. We cannot
at all vouch for the accuracy of this gossip, but,
to say the least, a colorable posibility is lent to it
bv the fact that in Burke’s peerage and in such
temporary authorities aud chroniclers of aristo
cratic doings as the “Gentleman’s Magazine, no
Convention Items.
In the adoption of the new State Constitution,
and in the passage of various ordinances, several
important changes hare been made affecting the
election of Judges, and other important interests
of the State, by the Convention which adjourned,
we think, on Tuesday afternoon. For instance,
the Judges of our Superior Courts are hereafter
to be elected by the people of the several judicial
districts, and the Judges of the Supreme Court
by the General Assembly. This is going back
ward, we think, instead of forward.
The next General Assembly is to convene at.
Milledgeville on the first Monday in December
next, the fourth day of that month. No reduc
tion was made in either branch of that body.—
It stands as it did under the old Constitution—
forty-four senatorial districts, and one hundred
and sixty-nine representative members of the
House of Representatives.
By resolution, a committee of seven has been
appointed to inquire into all matters connected
with the purchase of cotton on State account
during the war, the committee being clothed
with power to send for persons and papers.
The Convention by a large vote adopted a
clause in the Constitution, requiring the Supreme
Court of the State to hold its session only at
Milledgeville, the seat of Government.
An ordinance was adopted requesting the Gen
eral Assembly of the State, at its first session
under the new Constitution, and annually there
after, to make such appropriations and provisions
as may, in their judgment, be necessary for the
support and maintenance of the indigent widows
and orphans of deceased soldiers of the State,
and to provide for disabled soldiers who are with
out means of support, and whose disability is
such as to render them incompetent or unable to
make a living by their own exertions.
The following ordinance was also adopted:
“That all contracts made by guardians, adminis
trators, executors, and trustees, with freedmen
and freedwomen, for the benefit of their wards’
estates be, and the same is hereby legalized; and
that they be authorized to make such contracts
until provided for by the Legislature.”
The new State Constitution is ordered to be
published; as soon as we receive a copy of it,
we shall lay it before our readers.
The fikst steamer from Baltimore to Savan
nah, the Baltimore Gazette, of the 30th ultimo,
says left the former port on Saturday last for
Savannah, with a valuable cargo of assorted mer
chandize. This steamer is Called the “North
Point,” and is the pioneer of a new line of pro
pellers which is to run regularly between those
two ports, under such arrangements as will result
in uninterrupted communication between them.
Upon leaving the wharf in Baltimore the “North
Point” was loudly cheered by a large crowd that
had assembled to witness her departure. J.
Brandt, jr., and others, it is said, have established
this new and important line of Southern steam
ers.
Fob Clemency.—The Northern papers con
tain a memorial from Garibaldi, Tomageo, and
three hundred other distinguished Italians, ad
dressed to President Johnson, in which they elo
quently plead for clemency to Jefferson Davis.
What Stephen Girard Said.—I have al
ways considered advertising fibertlly and- long,
to be the great medium of success in business,
and prelnde to -wealth. And I have made it an
invariable rule to advertise in the dullest times
as well as the busiest, long experience having
taught me that money thus spent is tveH laid out;
as by keeping my business continually before the
public, it had securedmemany sales that I would
otherwise have lost.
THE GEORGIA Sim CONVENTION.
OUJt SPECIAL CORRRSPOXDEXCE
Monday, Nov. 6.
The Convention met pursuant to adjournment;
prayer by Rev. Mr. Flynn.
After the reading of the journal, Mr. Jenkins’
resolution was taken up in regard to “the print
ing of 1000 copies of the new Constitution.” An
amendment was offered by Mr. Dorsey, of Hall,
“to include all ordinances of a public and gene
ral interest up to the time of adjournment,” which
was adopted.
In my report of the 31st ult. I made a mistake
in alluding to some remarks of Mr. Hammond,
of Fulton, for want of clearly hearing what was
said.
Mr. Seward J moved to amend the stay law so
that it would prevent levy and sale “until the
Legislature shall otherwise direct,” and in sup
port of it said, that it was a question of expedi
ency; that it might be expedient to postpone one,
two, five, or perhaps twenty years, and that this
should be left to the Legislature.
Mr. Hammond replied that “this indefinite
postponement of levy and sale looked to him like
repudiation of private debts.”
Mr. Seward, (interrupting,) the gentleman was
certainly lawyer enough to know that an indefi
nite withdrawal of levy and sale only affected
the remedy and not the obligation of the debt.
Mr. Hammond replied that an indefinite refu
sal of a remedy was impairing the obligation
of the contract, and cited various cases from the
Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Sew
ard then withdrew his amendment.
I make the correction cheerfully, for during
my report of the proceedings here, I may have
reported some remarks which were not true, but
it was not intentional, and I am always ready to
make amends through the same channel in which
the representation was made.
The Convention proceeded to read, as a whole,
the new Constitution.
After its reading Mr. Jenkins moved for its
adoption.
Mr. Hill, of Morgan, asked if the Constitution,
after the motion to adopt the same, would be
open to any amendment hereafter by the Con
vention.
Mr. Jenkins replied that he understood that
since it had been adopted by paragraph, if his
motion now to adopt as a whole prevailed, the
decision was final and it could not be open for
amendment, but if the gentleman wished to add
an additional paragraph and not an amendment,
he was at liberty to do so, and asked if the gen
tleman had his paragraph ready.
Mr. Hill replied that he had uot, but he spoke
for others.
Mr. Chappell, of Muscogee, said that the ob
ject cf the gentleman was, he supposed, to incor
porate the ordinance he had introduced, and
which was made the special order of to-day, in
reference to the repudiation of the war debt.
The rules were here suspended in order to take
up, on motion of Mr. Whitaker, a message which:
was received from the Governor in relation to
certain inquiries made by resolution as to how
much money had been drawn for the purchase
of cotton, &c. This was accompanied by a
lengthy document from Mr. Jones, the Treasurer.
The documents were, on motion, referred to
the committee of seven.
Mr. Kenan said that the motion he was about
to make to the house, he hoped would not be
considered a captious one. The gentleman from
Muscogee, in endeavoring to incorporate his or
dinance in the Constitution, he thought was ger-
main to the subject. His object was simply to
harmonize the body.
Some gentleman called Mr. Kenan to order, as
there was no motion before the house. '
Mr. Kenan continued, and said that he would
have a motion before the house, and for the rea
sons stated and to dispose of this matter he called
for the previous question.
Mr. Chappell rose and Mr. Kenan said the
question was not debatable, but Mr. Chappell
was heard to say, “I hope the motion will not
prevail.”
Mr. Seward rose to a point of order, inquiring
how Mr. Kenan obtained the floor, as hisj
Mr. Saffold’sngiticm.was lost.
The original and the substitute from the gen
tleman of Tlmmawwas decided to be the only
legitimate subject matter, and Mr. Hammond’9
amendment was therefore read, wliieh looked to
the payment of the debt, and was lost.
Mr. Simmons’ amendment was alSo lost.
Mr.-Warren offered an amendment declaring
all war debts nul) and void. The amendment
was lost.
Mr. Brooks’ amendment was lost.
Mr. Dart’s amendment was lost.
Mr. Cohen introduced an ordinance as a sub
stitute for the whole, in effect “that as the people
have not yet had an opportunity to express then-
sentiments, the whole matter be referred to the
Legislature.”
Mr. Chappell moved to strike oat in the sub
stitute in the second paragraph the words “by
partrial proof” and insert “competent testimony,”
which was agreed to.
Mr. Hill offered an amendment “that all debts
of the State created daring the war shall be con
sidered as abetting^ the same, provided the Legis
lature shall have the power to appropriate money
for the payment ©t claims where it clearly ap
pears they were founded upon a consideration
that such claims w^re not used for the prosecu
tion of the war.” Adopted.
Mr. Chappell offered an amendment to the
substitute declaring the ordinance as part and
parcel of the Constitution.
Mr. Kenan called the gentleman to order, as
that matter had been previously disposed of.
Mr. Seward said the previous question did not
imply action, and this was all that was done.
The chair did not sustain the point of order,
Mr. Chappell made some points at length in
support of his proposition to incorporate this or
dinance as apart of the Constitution. His prin
cipal reason was that, as we had taken an oath,
to support the Constitution, if this was incorpo
rated in it, it would be made binding upon alL
Mr. Matthews followed in opposition. It wa9
not necessary that this measure should be incor
porated in the Constitution, because it was a fun
damental law, and the Legislature, if they should
repeal, the Judiciary would decide against them.
He himself was opp^ged to repudiation. Pass
the ordinance if . you will, he would always think
weil of every man--here who do this under a
solemn conviction o&iuty. If you pass it from
necessity, let it be deposited in the archives
cf your State, where future generations
can'look for and hunt it up. If you de
sire it, incorporate in it a clause binding
future generations to observe it for hundreds
and thousands of years, and let generations per
petuate it forever, but do not place it in that in
strument. This was one of Mr. Matthews ’most
happy efforts.
Recess until 3ft o’clock. :

omission. For instancy Mr. Hammond’s “amend
ment” is not inserted where it should have been,
though it is subsequently referred to.—Ed. Int.]
mileage at $5 for every 20 miles by the most
practicable route.” The previous question was
called for and sustained. ;The..ordinance was
adopted. This gives to the delegates the same
pay and mileage as of 1860.
Mr. CliappeR, of Muscogee,, called the atten
tion of the Convention to his motion to re-con-
sider the ordinance introduced by him and lost
yesterday, to incorporate the ordinance of Mr.
Alexander as a part of the Constitution. Mr.
Chappell accompanied his motion-with some
lengthy remarks why his motion should prevail.
The Convention refused to re-consider.
The Committee of 7 appointed to confer with
the Governor in reference to ; the cotton pur
chased by the.State, etc., reported an ordinance
“to authorize the Governor to appoint three com
petent commissioners to report upon the finan
cial condition of the State from 1st January
1861, up to the present time; that said commia
sioners have power to administer oaths and send
for persons and papers—the Governor to pay
them a fair compensation. Also, calling for an
assignment of 1600 bales of cotton in the poses-
sion of Mr. Brigham, of Savannah, paying him
for his expenses lor the same not to exceed 200
dollars.”
The ordinance was adopted.
A resolution was offered to adjourn the Con
vention, sine die, at 12 M. to-morrow. Adopted.
The ordinance of Mr. Cohen, of Chatham, in
reference to leaving the matter concerning the
public debt to the next Legislature, was taken up.
The previous question was called for and sec
onded bringing the Convention to a direct vote
upon the ordinance of Mr. Chappell, of Musco
gee, which i9 the repudiation question. The
yeas and nays were called for, and are yeas 183,
nays 117.

friend had only gave way as an act of courtesy:
to hear the Governor’s Message.”
Mr. Kenan said “that this was only an indirect
way of arguing the question Mid he hoped the
chair would so remind the house.”
Mr. Chappell again rose for an explanation,,
but was not permitted to do so folly, although he*
had no objection to the call of the previous'ques-j
tion. ' . * ;
The chair explained to the Convention how*
the matter stood and deckled that Mr. Kenan;
was clearly entitled to the floor when he.yalfod
the previous question.
Mr. Seward inquired if the Convention refused;
to sustain the call, would not the matter under
the parliamentary rule have to lie over one day.
The chair decided in the negative.
Mr. Chappell begged that the chair wouldataie
what would be the effect if the call was not sus
tained. ..
Mr. Kenan called the gentleman to order;, a? A
decision had been made. . \
The chair decided that if the call was sustain
ed, it would bring up the main question; feritfie
adoption of the Constitution, and cuts off .t^e
ordinance as an amendment •.
Mr. Kenan’s motion was then voted upon/ami'
by a division obtained a majority of 58.
Mr. Chappell said that he only wanted to ip-1
corporate his ordinance in the ConstjtutfopJ
through deference to other gentlemen, although!
he himselt would prefer to introduce it as a—
Mr. Kenan—“I call the gentleman to order.”
The Chair—“The gentleman from Muscogee.
clearly out of order.”
The main question was then put. which was a
motion by Mr. Jenkins to adopt the Constitution
just read. It was adopted unanimously.
The regular order was then resumed, which
was the ordinance offered by Mr. Chappell'in re
gard to declaring null and void all debts created
for the prosecution of the war.
Mr. Alexander, of Thomas, offered as a -sub-j
siitute an ordinance declaring all debts contrac
ted for the prosecution of the war illegal, null
and void. ,i J.
Mr. Dart, of Glynn, offered an amendment
to provide for the payment of the war debt, by
authorizing the Legislature to issue bonds bear
ing 7 per cent interest to the amount of the gold
value of bonds issued by the State for the prose
cution of the same.
Mr. Black, of Screven, offered an’amendment
to the substitute of the gentlemen from Thpmas.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, offered an amend
ment to the substitute, also, of the gentlemen
from Thomas.
A great deal of discussion here ensued con
cerning parliamentary rules relative to the in
troduction of so many amendments.
Mr. HanselL of Cobb, was in favor of suspen
ding all rules restricting the delegates from in
troducing any matter throwing light upon the
subject
Mr. Safiold, of Morgan, moved to refer the
original and all substitutes to a committee to re
port at 3 o’clock.
Mr. Hammond, of Fulton, said that a substi
tute to a substitute could not be entertained. He
had offered the only amendment and hoped it
would be read.
Monday, Nov. 6, Si o’clock, P. M.
The Convention reassembled.
The: question was unbn the amendment of Mr.
Chappell, of Mnsoogeopto amend toe substitute
of the gentleman of Thomas, “by incorporating
the. ordinance a9 a part and parcel of the Consti
tution.". ;!
The debate on the measure was lengthy, and
both sides had the benefit of able counsel in the
persons of Messrs.' Hill, of Morgan, Hammond,
of Fulton, Seward, of Thomas, Matthews,' of
Oglethorpe, and others. Much interest was mani
fested ; every delegate seemed to listen attentive-!
ly to every word that was said. The speech of
Mr. Matthews against the adoption of the amend
ment was one pfethe ablest he* has ever made.—
At one time, in alluding to wliat was left us as
elements to constitute us as a great nation, the
ladies in the gallery clapped their hands as a to
ken of their appreciation of his sentiments. The
chair promptly suppresed this manifestation on
the part of the fair ones. The spechea made were
all ably rendered. Upon the final question, the
yeas were 111; nays, 135.
I presume that a re-consideration will be moved
upon the,same subject to-morrow. The clause
in Mr. Chappell’s ordinance on the same subject
was stricken out Yeas, 150; Nays, 107.
Adjourned until 9# tomorrow morning.
Tuesday, Nov. 7.
The Convention met pursuant to adjournment;

During thereading of thejoumal, Mr. Chappell,

Tuesday, Nov. 7, o’clock, P. M.
The Convention re-assembled.
Mr. Thomas, of Coweta, offered a resolution
in regard to slavery; that the clause in the Con-
stituion adopted, gives no opinion as to jvhether
we yield slavery as our own choice or not, there
fore, yielding to the necessity we will acquiesce
in that portion of the Constitution, which prohib
its slavery. The resolution was lost.
A resolution was offered to appoint a commit
tee to memorialize the President invoking his
clemency in behalf of our fellow citizens who are
yet unpardoned. Agreed to..
An ordinance to make claims and all contracts;
valid made during the war against the United!
States not contrary to the Constitution ofthej
United States as introduced by Mr. Hill 1lik
en up, It embraces tbe period from June 1861,;
and the 1st of June 1865. The ordinance was
adopted!
Mr. Jenkins offered a resolution in relation to;
tax upon real estate. ^“Authorizes a . .committeiej
to be appointed to memorialize the Hon. Hugh:
McCulloch to suspend the collection of said- iaxj
Until the meeting of the United States Congress.”
The resolution waa .adopted. . ... ‘
The committee of Iff ottered & series of resolu
tions of thank' to His Excellently the Governor ,i
also requesting him to forward a copy of ail or
dinances to the President, passed by this Conven
tion. Adopted.
They also offered a : memorial to the President
affirming that we ^ad abolished slavery aiid Com
plied with, all requirements, in order to become;
again a State with* the rights and privileges of
other States, debiting peace and harmony, and
confiding in the good intentions of the Presi
dent, &c„ .;.■»! .
Mr. Hill moved to recommit sp as to incorpo
rate in the memorial the ordinance passed, de
daring null and void the public debt.
Mr. Kpipn saw 40 good reason why this should*
he done. .Why place this in the memorial and
no other ? - TVhy emblazon it to the world ? and
why tell President Johnson that we liad by ordi-i
nance repudiated the war. dept of Georgia? We 1
have had enough of telegrams from the City of
Washington influencing this body. It was hu
miliating enough to pass the ordinance without*
incorporating it in this memorial. He hoped the'
measure would not prevail.
Mr. Hill replied, “The Resident would not
consider it humiliating to place this in the mem
orial. We m^nfion in the memorial that we
have abolisheffelayery,”,
* Mr. Kenan—-That was required.
Mr. Hill—The gentleman says that was re
quired... Was not the measure spoken of re
quired?,,. '
Mr. Kenan—No, sir; in my opinion there has
been no requisition:
Mr. Hill read from, the memorial:
Mr- Kenan said that there telegrams were re
ceived in other States, including Georgia, and
nothing was said by the'President 1 requiring re
pudiation. He had a pardon in his pocket for
himself, and nothing in that pardon requires him
to forfeit by his* vote the honor of'Georgia, He
■Was a Union man five yearS ago in thisi flail, and,
when Georgia, secedffi-’hf / W&t! ; witi4, kyr, and
“ 90 help me God, if I had my way, we to-day
would have been & separate and distinct Gov
ernment.” [ApplaUse.] 1 He did not tell Presi-;
dent Johnson in'order to get a pardon That he
was a Uniop man. He stood upon his merits.—
He had heard of applications for special pardon
at the White House because men were using the
pjea} that they > 1 were Union men. Ofie party used
tins plea to ..olptam. a pafdon 1 ,' whfls^ hear, him
Stood, a young man of 21 years. Thejque^ionj
was asked the Union man, “What did you do?” 1
“Oh, I am for the Unlqh;” “Did you fight for
it?’’Turning to the young, man, ‘‘Afid

the ordinance to organize, a .police foree in the
several /eoupties of the State to preserve, ppdqr
and keep' down* parties of marauders, met, his
hearty concurrence. “ The Chair cptod hot keep
down the applause which ^teetCd tiife feiffifrljpolj
the gavel from the presiding officer, that I could
not hear what was really said. Mj\ Kenan not
being able to be heard took his seat. Order was
soon restored. >
Mr. Jenkins said that the committee had had
this memorial under careful consideration, and
he hoped that if it was desired to put anything
more in the document it would be done now.
The previous question was called and sus
tained.
The main question was upon the simple memo
rial as introduced by the committee, which was
agreed to.
Adjourned until o’clock to-morrow.
I notice the arrival of the Hon. O. A. Loch-
rane in this city. The Judge seems to be in no
way worsted by his tour North on business. The
reason why I mention this gentleman’s name in
connection with my report is, that whilst I was
in New York last month, the question was
asked me frequently if Judge Lochrane was in
favor of negro suffrage, and from a knowledge of
that gentleman’s views, I answered emphatically
“no.” When I returned South, rumors reached me
me that impression prevailed here that he was for
the measure. I deem it but an act of justice to
say that he entertains no such views, and while
North I heard him, in high circles, repeat again
and again his objections to such an infliction
upon the people of the South. I have heard him
say often that this was a white man’s govern
ment, and must be ruled by the white man.

Three Young Ladies Drowned by the
Sinking of a BoIt.—One of the most shocking
casualties by drowning which we have for along
time recorded, occurred on Saturday afternoon
last at Spring Lake, about 16 miles below Pekin.
According to '■ the statement of our informant, a
femily by the name* of Glayton reside mear the
lake, and twogoirng ladies from Iowa—relatives
of the * family, 1 and of the same name—were ohj
a visit to them. On Saturday afternoon it was!
propos4d :to take-h boat rifle * upon; .the lake, to
whfoh,alL joyfully,assentefl/ind a boat was pro
cured: which it was thought would answer the
.purpose- although old and leaky. Thei-party

another young ladyr’by; the name-of Kane/ to

man by. the name of McLean—in all eight per-

possible spirits, with the expectation of enjoying
a: pleasant 'afternoon, upon the water, little dream-

their; number, then in :the bloom of health and
happiness; would be in eternity. When in about

The San Antonio Express is the name of a new
paper, the firet issue of which we have just re
ceived. It is published by Siemering and our old
friend Pointer, and edited by our friend Judge
W. E. Jones in San Antonio. Those who know
Judge Jones will not be surprised at le&mingthat
the editorials in the Express exhibit ability. We
trust that as the malls are about to be again put
in order that we will often receive the Express.—
Flake's Bulletin.
This paper has been elected State printer for
Texas.
This morning we were shown a telegraphic
dispatch from Gov. A. J. Hamilton to Gen. Kent,
in which the Governor states that “the action of
the new City Authorities is suspended until fur
ther orders. This news will give general satis
faction to the people of Galveston, and the old
municipal authorities will continue to act for the
present, as formerly.—Oct. 25.
The Houston Tdegraph saya:
We have just returned from a trip to Washing
ton county, and found the drouth had nearly
ruined the com crops, and it is estimated that
only one-half a crop will be made this season.
The same will prove true of the potato crops.
Cotton looks well and we have been informed by
old citizens that they have never before seen
such a fine and heavy yield as this season. We
hear loud complaints everywhere of the scarcity
of hands to pick and save it. Anti we saw acres
of the finest cotton that ever grew, dropping out
of the bolls and wasting for the want of hands to
save it.
The planters made contracts with their former
slaves to remain with them and save the crops,
but they proved unfaithful and deserted the first
opportunity. Thousands of bales of splendid
cotton will be lost in Washington county by this
cause, and the neighboring counties are ho better
off. We have heard good judges estimate the
loss by this cause throughout the State to be 40,-
000 bales. It is a deplorable sight to witness
large cotton fields wasting.
The weather has been beautiful for picking for
some time past, but the negroes left at tlie very
time they "were needed. We have heard some of
the largest and wealthiest planters say they would
not hereafter depend on this kind of labor, but
they would rent their plantations to enterprising
German emigrants and give them a liberal share
of the crops. We find that many of the largest
planters in Washington county are satisfied that
the labor of freedmen can no longer be profita
ble, for the reason that it cannot be depended
upon when wanted. Many planters have com
menced ginning and baling this season’s crop
and rushing it off to market. The high prices
cotton commands stimulates them to sell now.
Every station on the Central and Washington
county railroads is crowded with cotton bales,
and the railroads cannot ship it off as fast as it
corned for the want of sufficient rolling stock.
We learn from gentlemen from Burleson eoun
tv, that parties were in that country who came
from Tennessee for the purpose of buying hogs
to ship to that State. They paid gold for the
property. They intended to drive the animals to
Alexandria, Louisiana, and there to butcher
them and ship them by steamers.
A great amount of wool is now awaiting pur
chasers throughout Northern and Centraljfexas
Many of the wool growers are anxious to sell
out.
Country merchants are doing a good business
everywhere, and they realize large profits upon
their goods. We learned from gentlemen who
resided near the Yegna creek that several bodies
of negro children had been found floating in the
waters, which were doubtless thrown there by
heartless mothers to get rid of them.
The Texas Central and Washington county
railroads are well managed and seem to be doing
a thriving busiues. The bridge across the Bra
zos river is bfeifijf 1 rapidly repaired, and teams
now pass oyeT it as usual. It seems that a false
report was started some' time ago that this
bridge had fallen: Branham is alive with busi
ness, and prosperity*^- visible everywhere. A
few national soldiers.garrison thfftown, and they
manage to get along Very wfell with the people.
Hempstead is as busy a town as ever, and render-
ed more so by Geri. Castar’s division of cavalry
which is camped in the neighborhood.
