CONSTITUTIONALIST.
V ATTGUJSTA. QA.
FRIDAY MORNING. OCT. 4. 1867.
CONVENTION.
From the adroitness and party juggling
manifested by registration in this State,
not less than from the sweeping disfran
chisements of Congress, it is very generally
conceded that the friends of Convention
outnumber their opponents. It is idle,
therefore, to vote against a Convention with
the hope of defeating it; but, inasmuch as
Congress has ordained that, without a ma
jority of registered votes, the Convention
question becomes a dead one, it would not
be amiss for those who have hitherto op
posed the call to abstain from voting, with,
at least, the chance of helping by such
vis inertia to cause the scheme to fail by de
fault of the necessary ballot.
This we hold to be the only method left;
and it is, perhaps, the better alternative of
washing our hands of a dirty business. We
will retire from a contest where laurels are
impossible and leave the Held to negroes
and white mountebanks 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.
If this withdrawal of a large number of
votes prove inoperative and a Convention
be decided upon, we feel assured that this
extraordinary assemblage will be a specta
cle for gods and men—a convocation of
politic worms equal to the late Geneva
Peace Congress and just as wild and im
practicable. If the enlightened w'isdom of
New York has failed, after many months of
deliberation, in bringing order out of the
partial chaos of the Empire State, the as
sembled ignorance and duplicity of Geor
gia will have a famous time in changing
the organic law to suit the State, the Con
gress or themselves.
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 influence to be {arrayed against them ?
If we had a grudge and w ished to gratify
it, we should be satisfied to see our respect
able private enemy put to bay and brought
to shame in the Convention. The objects
relied upon by the Radical party are sim
ple enough, viz: Universal suffrage; Radi
cal domination, for the present, through de
cisive majorities; and Radical perpetuity
which shall bind posterity. Any other ac
tion must prove futile, and, since this is
the only line of progress permissabie by
the ruling faction and its adherents, we
think it cruel to subject our “ best men ”
to such an abominable test.
To show the Conventionists that their
labors are to be by no means, light or cer
tain of favorable results, the New York
Citizen propounds the following queries :
“1. Will the convention be ordered ? 2. If
Ordered, and it succeeds in framins the draft of
a State constitution, will it be adopted by the
popular vote f If not, then there is end of No. 2
of the reconstruction plan. 3. If adopted, sup
pose the Executive should not transmit it, as
is clearly within his power ? 4. If transmitted,
Congress may decide, for any reason, to reject
or not admit the Btate making application. 5.
If admitted, will Congress admit Senators and
Representatives from the ex-rebel States to
seats in that body, a question which it declined
two years ago to answer in the affirmative, and
■which Mr. Thaddeus Stevens has answered in
the negative.”
As to the first query, about the call of a-
Conveutlon, we think it highly probable
that the same ingenuity displayed in find
ing more negroes, by thousands, over twen
ty-one years of age than the State can pos
sibly contain, will be brought to bear in
returning a sufficient number of votes to
secure a Convention.
Query No. 2, as to the adoption of anew
Constitution, if framed by the
depends upon the temper of the people and
the impartiality of the registrars.
The remaining interrogations are for
future decision. Whether Mr. .Johnson
will submit such a Constitution or not,
must depend upon his treatment by Con
gress or his peculiar notions with regard
to the exact limits of obedience and endur
ance.
The acceptance by Congress of a Consti
tution that gives the people of Georgia any
present or future loop-hole of escape from
the dominion of Radicalism is, at best,
problematical.
Granting that a Constitution can be
adopted, by fraud or disfranchisement, suit
able to Thaddeus Stevens, those who
vote for such an instrument in hope of re
lief Will assuredly get such amelioration as
Browni.ow affords and none other.
Between this date and the day of election,
the people must make up their minds upon
a proper course of procedure. Each pre
cinct should have some organized form of
action. These three alternatives present
themselves to the opponents of Convention:
First. To vote against a Convention with
the certainty of helping swell the vote ne
cessary to make its call certain.
Second. To keep away from the polls al
together, with the chance of defeating the
scheme.
Third. To refrain from voting on the
question of Convention, but steadily vote
for negro candidates in opposition to white
adventurers.
The people at large should think over
these matters and come to some definite
conclusion.
The Polls.— The miserable farce of going
through the routine of votiDg was commenced
at various places in this city, at the early hour
of 6 o’clock yesterday morning, and kept up
until 6in the afternoon. All day Monday a
Bteady stream of negroes poured into towu.—
'Yesterday the uumbers were greatly augment
ed ; so much so that about 12 o’clock the streets
■were almost impassable. The side walks were
monopolized by the negroes, and business, as
a general thing, was suspended. The negroes
■were marched to the polls in droves, like so
many sheep, by a few adventurous, office seek
ing whites, tickets placed in their untutored
hands, and then dropped into the ballot box !
The Conservatives very wisely stood aloof, and
allowed the negroes and their white manipula
tors to do all the voting. Not a dozen white
men were to be seen at any or all the polls
combined.
The scenes yesterday were disgusting to all
intelligent men, who could only stand idly by
and see the ballot prostrated to such vile and
ignorant uses. The scene was well calculated
to make any intelligent, honest American blush
with shame for his down trodden country.

Raimno the Merkimac.— Captain Under
down, who has been engaged in raising the
wreck of the Merrimac, will recommence
work on the hall next week. He has already
removed the guns, chains, anchors, kentledge,
and all moveable matter, and will now operate
on the hull. This involves a great amount of
labor and patience, and caDnot be completed in
less than ninety days, at the end of which time
it is thought that a large amount of valuable
metal will be brought to light, and the wreck
cease to be longer a terror to passing vessels.
Captain Underdown has the iron prow of the
Merrimac, which be anticipates disposing of to
some museum in Baltimore, New York, or
Philadelphia; and it would be a good invest
ment, and would aitran crowds of the curious
even at this late day. It is to be regretted that
we have no museum in which to place so val
uable a relic. —fforfolk Journal.

New York, September 29.
There cannot now be any doubt that the
democratic party will no longer stand as
lie chainpiou and defender of Mr. John
on’s administration, but that he must ex
«ct to be left to his own resources. The
democratic leaders begin to discover what
have endeavored so often to show, that
my responsibility for Mr. Johnson and Mr.
leward is certain defeat, and that the
oonor they are repudiated and left to set
le their account with the Radicals as best
hey may, the sooner the Democratic party
vill be relieved of an entangling alliance
hat brings only evil continually.
eonro back.
Mr. Johnson’s Republican office holders
n this State, who supported the Democratic
lominations last year, have made applica
tion to be again admitted to the Republi
can fold ; they have bowed themselves very
low, and have been allowed to take places
m the anxious seat, as probationists.—
They are now the most bitter enemies of
Vlr. Johnson, and before six months shall
roll round, will be furious and out-spoken
in denunciation of him.
In view of the embarrassment by which
lie finds himself surrounded, Mr. Johnson
has made overtures to the Democratic
leaders to come in and make up for him a
new Cabinet as a preliminary to the inaug
ration of a more rigorous policy; and the
Democrats have declined the proposition,
is coming too late. You will see from the
proceedings of the Republican State Con
vention, just held at Syracuse, that they
said nothing of the Democratic party; but
the whale of the speeches aud resolutions
were in denunciation of Mr. Johnson. In
this course, much sagacity was shown, for
it is not easy to imagine how much Mr.
Johnson is distrusted and disliked by all
parties. It is useless to disguise this tact,
and the Democrats have come to act
upon it.
ELECTION PROSPECTS.
The prospects of tiie fall elections are
not quite so favorable as a month ago. In
Ohio the Republicans have practically
thrown over the negro suffrage scheme and
will thereby save the State to them. Penn
sylvania will probably go Democratic, but
this is not certain, while as for New York
State the Democrats will lose in New York
city and environs and gain iu the rural dis
tricts. The explanation of the probable
loss in New York and Kings will be found
in the fact that a large proportion of the
population is composed of well-to-do Ger
mans and English who care nothing for the
principles involved in the questions relating
to reconstruction. They come here to make
money and are disgusted with the political
agitation of the past two years and the in
terruption of business which it occasions.
They would have assented with the same
readiness to the terms originally granted to
Joe Johnston by Sherman (then repudiated
by President Johnson), as they now agree
to the Radical reconstruction programme,
asking only in either case that it be a
“ finality,” and that it divorce politics and
business. We have, also, reached that stage
in the career of the United States wheu
business cannot hope to be separated from
politics again. The class of people I have
described favored President Johnson last
fall, but now they favor the Radicals on the
principle, I presume, that “ Whatever is, is
right.” They think the Radical programme
can be carried out; therefore they favor it.
The whisky interest will not be so strong
against the Radicals as last year, owing to
the operation of the teuure-of-offlce law
and the Sabbatarian law. has rather gained
friends the past year. From these causes
do not count too strongly on the Democrats
carrying New York this fall. Their pros
pects are best; that is all.
NOTABLE STRUCTURES.
We. have in progress in New York two
structures that promise to attract attention
as they approach completion. One is in
tended to be a freight depot for the Hudson
River Railroad, and the other is the Roman
Catholic Cathedral in the Fifth Avenue.
Mark the fact, a Roman Catholic Cathedral
iii Fifth Avenue, where New England
aristocracy has for years found homes.
The Hudson River Railroad depot will
cover the whole of St. John’s Park. One
million dollars were paid for the ground
alone; and the structure now being erected
will cost into the millions. Its dimensions
on the ground will be larger than the largest
of the pyramids of Egypt—larger than St.
Peter’s at Rome; it is larger than any of
the celebrated amphitheatres of afltiqtiity-,
except the Colosseum, of Rome. It will be
four times as large as the Tombs (city pri
son.)
The Romau Catholic Cathedral in the
Fifth Avenue will far susp&ss Trinity
Church in dimensions, and it is intended
that the spire will approach in height
some of the highest in Europe. It pro
gresses slowly, and it will probably be many
years before it will be finished. The new
Court House iu the City Hall Park, 180 feet
by 300 feet, now uearly finished, is an ele
gant edifice. The present Custom House,
200 by 300 feet, makes a most imposing ap
pearance. The latter is a product of a simi
lar mania for improving structures that
raged thirty years ago. It then cost two
millions, and would cost five millions now.
The period of its erection was followed by
a general collapse, from which this city did
not fully recover in a dozen years or more.
New York is now building as if the found
ations of the city had just been laid. But
great as are its opportunities, a check to
the rapidity of its growth cauuot be far dis
tant. In fact.
. the course op population
is now seen by the more observing to be
too strongly set towards the cities and
towns, until it has become a question wheth
er there are a sufficient number engaged in
tilling the ground to grow a sufficient quan
tity of agricultural products to supply the
people. liecent advices leave no doubt that
the West of Europe will, during the coming
year, require one hundred million bushels
of foreign wheat. England, France, Belgium,
Spain and Algiers have all had deficient
crops. The most the United States can pos
sibly furnish is twenty millions ; the other
eighty millions must be picked up wherever
it can be found. Shippers have thus far
taken nearly all the wheat that has arrived
here at advancing prices. These facts mean
high prices for food for at least two years
to come, and probably longer—for Ido not
see how granaries can be filled, except with
two good crops all over the world—and
they mean dull trade, low cotton, low wool,
low coal and iron, every thing in abeyance
(luring a scramble for food. The lesson
again brought home to the South is, raise
bread. Let everything be secondary to this.
Thousands will be starved out of the cities
in the coming few years, and forced to re
turn to the country; and until we have
cheaper bread, through the accomplishment
of this process, dull trade and unsatisfac
tory returns will be the rule.
RITUALISM.
The high church practices, which have
been inaugurated in Trinity Church, of
this city, and its chapels, were forced upon
the great body of the Episcopal clergy and
laity, at the annual convention of the Dio
cese of New York, held in this city on the
25th, at St. John’s Chapel. Not only was
the music of the most ornate character,
but it was performed with all the 6tage
tricks that are introduced, into an opera.
The organ was made to take the place of
an orchestra. No attention was paid to
the language of the chant that was per
formed—not one word in ten was intelligi
ble ; and a person attending the opera, with
a good translation, would have less difficul
ty in understanding the “ libretta ” of the
play than did the real worshipper on this
occasion encounter in following the jargon
that emanated from the singers. It is in
the rubrics of the Episcopal church that
the worship shall be in the language under
stood by the people; but this chanting
might as well have been in Choctaw. The
abundance of labials In the English lan
guage renders it difficult to be sung per
fectly ; the first-class artists get over these
difficulties satisfactorily. I have heard
Jenny Lind and others of her class 6ing
the English language with almost as
much distinctness as it can be read.—
But the sort of “ artists ” which make up
high church choirs “ can’t sing English,
and the result is most offensive.
Os course, the performance at St. John’s
Chapel created a sensation which the re
ports for the press carefully ignore. Several
lelt the chapel; there was an almost uni
versal expression of pain and disgust upon
the countenances of those present; and the
result will probably be i*n effort to rescue
the holding of future annual conventions
from the direction of Trinity Church; or
by dividing the diocese, relieve a portion
from the domination of that gigantic cor
poration.
Bishop Potter is much adverse to these
ritualistic practices ; he is reported to have
said he wished they were in the bottom of
the sea, regarding them a melancholy ex
ample of the revival of those Pagan ideas
which the Protestant Church nearly shook
off at the time of the Reformation.

P. S.—Saturday, 28th.—There is scarcely
a remaining doubt that we are to have al
most as high prices for breadstuffs during
the coming year as we had last year. It is
rumored to-day that the Spanish ports have
been opened to breadstuffs free of duty, and
the cable reports another large advance in
the English markets.
We are having sundry cases of yellow fe
ver, but it is thought itr is too late for it to
become epidemic. The nights the past

The French Government Responsible for the
Maximilian Decree of October 3—A Fight
About Cemeteries—Death of the Oldest Pris
oner and Oldest Executioner in France—The
Imperial Family.
Paris, September 17.
In default of stirring events of the moment,
Mexican affairs are the reigning topic of the
day iu Paris. M. Emile de Gerardin, in the
fierce war he is making against the Empire,
lias disinterred a secret circular order of Mar
dial Bazaine’s, the ferocious character of which
is most damaging to the glory of that distin
guished servant of his Majesty Napoleon 111.
Hiis order proves that the famous bloody de
cree assigned to the unfortunate Maximilian
really originated with the French General.
After enumerating certain cruelties practised
by the Mexican insurgents, the General says:
Alter these savage acts reveuge becomes a
necessity and a duty. All these bandits are
outlawed by the Imperial decree of October 3.
I beg you to make known to the troops under
your command that I do not allow prisoners
to be taken. Every individual, whoever he
may be, taken with arms in his hands shall be
put to death. There shall be no exchange of
prisoners in future. Our soldiers will by this
understand with what class ot adversaries they
have to deal. It is war to the death—it is civil
zation against barbarism. We must either kill
or be killed. Bazaine.
The Government authorities have as yet taken
no notice of Gerardiu’s attacks upon Marshal
Bazaine, but they will have a difficult task if
they attempt to brighten up his tarnished fame,
proofs are too strong.
Prefect Hacessman and the opposition pa
pers are having a fight over cemeteries, in
which it is likely that the Prefect will, as usual,
come off victorious. It is proposed to estab
lish a burial ground outside of Paris, funerals
to be conveyed to it by railway. The site se
lected is one on the road which is iu full view
of one of the favorite pleasure resorts ot Paris
ians—Momnorency—thence arise any number
of protests.
Would it not be better to take a lesson from
antiquity, and burn tlie dead ratber than contin
ue the present system of poisoning tbe living by
leaving the remains of those so loved in life to
corrupt tbe earth.
The Frenfeh papers announce the death of
two noted personages—the oldest prisoner and
the oldest executioner iu France. The former
individual was eighty-four years of age, forty
five of which had been passed in prison walls.
He opened his career in 1815, by personating
Marshal Breme, of whom he was the valet, and
reviewing the French troops at Valenciennes.
Railroads and telegraphs not then existiug, the
imposture was not discovered until the impos
ter had received the homage of the whole city.
Six years ago, when seveDty-eight years of age,
this hardened 6inner managed to get possession
of a large sum of money aud a horse and car
riage belonging to a commercial traveler, but
was caught aud eommitted to prison, say
ing as he entered that he had finally re
tired from business. His conduct during his
various sequestrations from a more extensive
social existence was most exemplary, and
he was always on the best terms with the jail
ors and their assistants. The deceased execu
tioner, in his latter days, enlivened the fireside
of his grandchildren, by boastful accounts of
the part he took iu the scenes of tbe Revolu
tion, and especially delighted to dwell upon the
latter days of Robespierre, as during that time
he was assistant executioner at Paris, and claims
to have aided the chief headsmau in guillotin
ing Robespierre himself. Berezowski, the un
happy young man who tried to avenge the many
wrongs of Poland by a single pistol shot, has
just arrived at Toulon aud been assigned his
place among the mass of hardened criminals
who are usually collected at this French penal
establishment. As soon as he arrived he was
clad in the red vest common to all galley slaves,
with the green cap worn only by those con
demned for life. He was the first of the gang
to which ho was attached called upon to receive
the chain of infamy, which he is also condemn
ed to wear always. The larger ring is placed
around the ankle, to which a heavy chain is
rivetted by a {smith. Berezowski, even iu this
humiliating guise, looked dignified and self
sustained, iu strange contrast to the degraded
beings to whose companionship he is perpetu
ally con emned. He, with a number ot other
criminals, will embark in a few days lor the
French Botany, New Caledonia.
Paris is at present full of provincials, takiug
advantage of the school holidays of their young
people to come with them to the Exposition,
but it is, nevertheless, dull in contrast to the
summer’s brilliant show of great personages
and their brilliant corteges.
The imperial family is enjoying a short re
spite from official eremonies at Biarritz. Their
Majesties will probably return about the 10th
of October, and will receive the Emperor and
Empress of Austria at Corapiegne.
■3We hear of a grand fete to be given on the
31st, October, by the exhibitors at the Exposi
tion, but it is scarcely probable that a sufficient
number of “ the contented ” can be brought to
gether for an occasion of this sort. The Im
perial Commission, as well a certain com
missioner whom we wot of, has contrived to
displease much more than half the world.—
Charivari has a good thing, it wood-cut, in a
late number. The “ Exposition,” a colossal
female in excellent condition, offers condescend
ingly a glass of beer to a modest, retiring little
lady named Peace, saying, “ I beg your pardon
for not asking you to take a chair; we are
really not well off in that article.” “Do not
give yourself any trouble,” replies the meek
guest, “ I am not accustomed to being well
seated.”
Another witicism from the same sort, as at
tic in its flavor. It is the custom at the “ Hal
les ” (the great centre market) to crown the
largest pumpkin brought to Paris as the “ king
of the pumpkins.” This year’s gourd weighed,
more than two hundred pounds, and was seven
feet in circumference. The ceremony consists
in decorating with flowers and ribbons the
huge vegetable, and bearing it triumphantly
around the market, followed by all the market
Deople, singing the popular songs of the day.—
Charivari says: “We hear they have been
crowning the ‘ king of the pumpkins just as
well crown him as any other.”
Ambrose Thomas ’is rewriting the role of
“ Mignon ” (his opera taken from Goethe’s
Mignon) for Patti’s voice. The same compo
ser is preparing as operas the libretto from
“ Hamlet.” Christine Nillson will play "Ophe

have had the name,of doing the honors of Pa

Colored Children Ejected from the
Public Schoos in Buffalo.— For a time past
a degree of excitement has been occasioned in
some of the public schools on account of the
fact that a number of colored children insisted
upon attending, and remained, despite the ef
forts of the teachers to compel them to leave.
Recently, a petition by colored people, asking
permission to send their children to other
schools than that set apart for them, was re
ferred to the Common Council Committee on
Schools; the committee reported that the
Council had no authority to grant the permis
sion asked, and the report was adopted. Not
withstanding this action, the parents of the
children continued to send them to the schools,
and yesterday Superintendent Fostick went to
Districts Nos. 11 and 12, and ordered the colored
children to leave. This they refused to do,
when they were ejected. This morning the
colored children in No. 32 were also ejected bv
the Superintendent. It is understood that Mr.
Fosdick has adopted this course in pursuance
of the action of the Council, and it is rumored
that the parties considering themselves ao-griev
ed, threatened to have him arrested and arraign
ed before the United States Court under the
Civil Rights Bill. The school set apart for
colored children, on Vine street, will accom
modate two hundred, we are told, though ‘be
average daily attendance is only forty-five.
