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. f Montgomery Mail , 2d. 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. Our New Tork Correspondence. 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. Willoughby. 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 week have been very cold. W. I Correspondence of the N. V. World Franoe. 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 lia.” Horlenza Schneider, who may be said to have had the name,of doing the honors of Pa ns (after the Imperial family) as the Grand Duchess de Gerolstein, the richest actress on the Parissian boards. She has a very large house, and has $200,000 worth of diamonds. 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. f ßuffalo Commercial Advertiser. A young Scotchman named Hugh Crawford Pollok, who arrived in New York about two years since, and shortly afterwards enlisted in the Fifth United States cavalry as a private sol dier, has, by the death of his father in Scotland, fallen heir to a baronetcy and £5,000 a year.— Through the intercession of the late Sir Frede rick Bruce, Gen. Grant has discharged Pollok from the service. For some months pa6t the youthful baronet had been discharging the du ties of farrier of his regiment.
