PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. The New York Nation defends the Alabama Con vention, endorsing the saying of its friends that no political body so orderly and sensible, and few so able, has ever been convened in Alabama. Its members, trustworthy accounts state, are men long resident in Alabama ; three-fourths of them, to say nothing of the sprinkling of blacks, having been old Alabamians of good standing, and not Northern adventurers, as asserted by the Mobile Times. The Nation speaks in very high terms of the Constitu tion it has framed for the States as a fundamental law, such as any American State might well be satis fied to own :—" It sets apart for the education of all the children of the State between five years old and twenty-one, not only the proceeds of all the lands which the United States has granted or may grant to the State for educational purposes, and of all swamp lands, and of all property left by intes tates without heirs, but also devotes to the support of schools one-fifth of the total revenue of the State. Furthermore, the General Assembly may permit the school district authorities to levy a poll-tax on the inhabitants of the district in aid of the general school fund. It is made the duty of an incorpo rated Board of Education of the State to establish in each school district one or more schools. Let us hope that hereafter a majority of white citizens of Alabama may know how to write their names. The rest of the Constitution—as the clauses relating to imprisonment for debt, to the right of men of any colour to bear arms, and so on—are of equally enlightened a character. The illiberality of the disfranchising clauses is more in the reports in regard to them than in fact. They for bid registry as voters to all persons who, during the war, maimed or in any way inflicted unusual or cruel punishment on persons in the employ of the United States ; and, secondly, to persons whom Congress or the Constitution (Art. XIV.) has dis franchised. But it gives to the General Assembly power to remove the disabilities of the second class, and there is little doubt that it will be, in the truest sense of the word, the fault of the obstinate seces sionists if within three years they are not voting." We sincerely hope the Nation may be right, but there are strong grounds for considering its opinion as altogether too favourable, and that it is so is seen by the silence of the Republican papers on the sub ject, or their condemnation of it generally when they do allude to it. The Test Oath, in which men are made to accept the political and civil equality of all men, and to agree not to deprive any one on ac count of colour, race, or previous condition of any political or civil right, will disfranchise a numerous body. The New York Evening Post thinks that Congress will be compelled to correct the narrow ness of the Constitution's proscription. "As the controlling classes of Southern society—the men of character and leadership—they need to be recon ciled, not repulsed." General Pope doubtless en deavoured to moderate its action, holding that its proceedings were doing incalculable harm to Re construction. The party leaders at 'Washington have also bestirred themselves in this direc tion ; and whatever may be the merit of the Constitution proposed —to their exertions and strong hostile criticism it will in no small measure be due. If the Montgomery Adver tiser be correct there are other emissaries than those who urge to good. A man named Shorter was arrested, who claimed to be the agent of certain Illinois Republicans, but who appeared to be more a sort of negro Fenian. A letter was found in his pocket decreeing death to the Treasurer of the revolutionary Government, directing the sentence to be carried out by Jeff. M'Call, who was to raise regular bands of. troops for the purpose. The Con servatives of the State, at whose head are twenty members of the Convention, are rallying to defeat the Constitution. They are holding public meetings, and have issued an address, which is said to be powerfully written. There is also a negro element against the Constitution, headed by the Negro Union League, in Montgomery, who consider that it will, " if ratified, inevitably result in the debase ment of the ilhite race and the destruction of the black race." A negro party has been formed under its auspices " to cultivate a spirit of mutual confi dence and good feeling between the two races of the South." Whatever may be the case in Alabama, there can be little doubt that the strong feeling raised by the negro proceedings in Richmond has had a powerful effect in quieting the tone of Mr. Hunnicutt and his followers. The members of the Convention have voted themselves 8 a day. In the opening prayer the ex-Confederates are included as well as loyal men, and the Convention has ended a discussion on the subject by concluding not to take an oath. The Convention enjoyed the advantage of being near the seat of Government, and was therefore more controlled by such men as Senator Wilson, and others who earnestly desire to elevate the negro race. In Richmond also there is a strong Conservative opposition, a Convention attended by 3,000 dele gates, having been in session for some days, which did not adjourn till the 12th December. Alexander H. IL Stuart was elected president, and among the vice-presidents were Robert M. T. Hunter, John Letcher, Thomas S. Bocock, John R. Tucker, Thomas S. Flournoy, R. T. Preston, William H. Macfarland, and several distinguished Virginians. The resolutions adopted by the Convention declare that slavery is abolished, and the people of Vir ginia do not desire again to reduce to slavery the emancipated freedmen; assert the right of Virginia to be restored to the Union ; protest against the present military government of the State ; and de nounce the system that would reduce the people of Virginia to the rule of a race just emerged from slavery. An address to the people of the United States asking for their sympathy and support is to be prepared, and a committee was authorised to test in the United States' Courts the legality of the Congressional system of Reconstruction. As about a third of the regular Convention are Conservatives, so powerful an opposition aids moderation. Louisi ana is the State in which the negro element so pre dominates that there will be difficulty in controlling their legislative absurdities. One delegate offered a resolution that no other Convention should be called for seventy years after the present one another fixing eight hours as a day's w ork ; a third guaranteeing lawyers' fees at a minimum of 10 per cent. on collections and do ctors at p a visit. They were almost unanimous in fixing their pay at $8 a day, to begin from the date of their election or appointment, giving as a reason that having been slaves so long they now desire to enjoy some of the luxuries of freedom. The Georgia Convention met on Monday, the 9th December, and the Conserva tives succeeded in electing J. P. Parrott, of Bar low, President, over J. L. Dunning, of Atlanta, by a vote of 103 to 46. P. M. Shelley, of Floyd, a member of the Loyal League, was elected secre tary, and A. E. Marshall, of Monroe, assistant sec retary. A white man was chosen sergeant-at-arms, with negroes for door keeper and messenger. The Convention has recommended Gen. Pope to remove Governor Jenkins.—Anglo-American Times.

Wholesale depot, 17, Southampton-row, Holborn, W.V. Bold 41 all 01.10IniAt0.—(A.PYL) Mr. Digby Seymour has addressed a letter enefosing a ::opy of the following proposed address to the Queen, to the best known employers of Irish labour, begging that they will facilitate the object he has in view, by permitting the address to lie for signature at any place under their authority which they may deem most convenient for the burpoe "To hei Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. " May it please your Majesty,—We, the undersigned Irish subjects of your Majesty residing in London and its vicinity, desire respectfully to convey to your Majesty the expression of our indignation and sorrow at the recent outrage at Clerkenwell, perpetrated by certain evil-dis posed and misguided persons ; and we beg at the same time to assure your Majesty of our unaltered devotion to your person and throne, and our determination to support your Majesty's Government against all treasonable at tempts to disturb the peace of the realm." A. recent visitor to Ireland writes :--" Fenianism appears to me to be a much more serious affair than people in England suppose. It may not be generally known that the cost of maintaining order in Ireland amounts in all to £870,000 annually, and that the county force of consta bulary in that country exceeds that of England and Wales. This of itself is a very significant fact. No place in Ireland is so small as not to have a constabulary station. The constables are not, as with us, even in our rough mining districts, provided simply with a baton, but are armed with rifles and bayonets, and are, indeed, nothing less than irregular soldiers. But even this force has not been found sufficient. It is admitted by the military authorities in Dublin that nothing could have saved the country from general dis order but the suspension of the Habeas Corpus. This proved effectual ; and the Irish proprietors are now con gratulating themselves on a respite from anxiety, whilst the active spirits of sedition are giving their English friends a taste of what they can do in the way of mischief. But, in regard to Ireland, the important point is as to the future. How long is the Habeas Corpus Act to remain suspended? How long is Ireland to be kept in order by an armed force? How long are Fenian plots to go on being hatched? For the spirit of Fenianism appears to be one of determined and patient enmity to England, which can afford to wait any length of time till an opportunity comes for inflicting a blow. And, though many may be sceptical as to its power to hurt the Empire, yet all must confess that even now it is a thorn in our side. In Ireland all thoughtful men know well that it is a very serious matter. One cannot fail, in conversing with Irishmen of education, position, and also of refine ment—laymen as well as priests—to be struck by their de liberate opinions as to the grave and critical character of the occasion." The Weekly Register says that the priest named in the evidence of Vaughan, the informer, as Father O'Connor, who, according to the testimony of the informer, presided at a Fenian meeting in Cavanagh's public-house, near Golden-square, " is a young priest of the diocese of Cashel. He was sent over to London by his diocesan for the pur pose of collecting some funds to aid in building the tower of the cathedral in that town, and on his arrival applied for the usual leave to say mass in the diocese of West. minster, which was granted as a matter of course. From all we hear, he gave great offence to such of the London clergy as he called upon by his denunciations of the En, o lish Government. He left Landon some time ago g having been recalled by his archbishop, Dr. Leahy." A curious episode in the special constable movement is reported. A few days ago the working men in the em ployment of Messrs. Holland and Son, builders, of the Ranelagh Works, Pimlico, were invited to enrol themselves as special constables. They are some hundreds strong, and would have been a formidable addition to the body: They held a meeting at the vilrks, at which the proposition was fully discussed, and, after mature deliberation, they passed a resolution which set forth in effect that, while they yielded to no one in their Loyalty to the throne, their love of the laws and the constitu tion, and their hatred of the outrage in Clerkenwell, they yet believed that the extent of the Fenian conspiracy was exaggerated, and they declined to be sworn in as special constables under the present Government, lest they should be called upon to suppress perfectly loyal public meetings. After passing this resolution they determined to form a guard over the property of the firm employing them, and they have since kept daily and nightly watch. A rumour has been current for some days past that two vessels supposed to belong to the Fenian had been seized by the naval authorities at Wcolwich as contraband. £he authorities have given a direct contradiction to the rumour. During the last few days a .large number of revolvers have been issued from the armoury stores of the Ordnance establishment, Chatham, it being intended •to arm the police constables on duty at the naval establishments at the port with that weapon. Sir John Eardley Eardley Wilmot, the Recorder of Warwick, in charging the grand jury at the borough Quarter Sessions, referred to the commercial depression in the metropolis and the country, and said it was not in any way attributable to Fenianism. They might congratulate themselves that up to the present time, although there had been apprehensions that an outbreak might take place in the neighbouring town of Leamingtcn and some pros perty be assailed, yet that throughout the county, and especially in Birmingham, where large numbers of artisans were employed in the different branches of trade, the hearts of the people were sound to the very core, and they had everywhere evinced a determination to come forward and assist in upholding the cause of peace, law, and order. They should all, in their respective stations, and to the utmost of their power, endeavour to uphold the integrity of the empire, and maintain England in that position among nations which it bad so long held, and which it was to be hoped it would continue to retain. An amusing incident occurred yesterday in the Wharf' road ,Paddington. A half-tipsy Irishman went in front of the bar of one of the public-houses there, and delivered him self of a speech which had for its burden the woes of Ireland, and a peroration in which he cursed all that was English. A party of dustmen got hold of the man, and so trounced him that he was glad to recant his seditious language, and drink a health to the Queen. lie was then kicked away from the place.

EXTRAORDINARY STORY.—According to a COM .pondent writing from Berlin, St Petersburg has lately been the scene of a horrible tragedy. The patroness of a boarding-school for young ladies had expressed her disapprobation of their coiffure, which she con: sidered as too coquettish. The lady who had the superintendence of the class was so much affected by this censure, that she ordered all the young ladies' hair to be cropped quite short. This was regarded as a great indignity, and as soon as it was dark the young ladies attacked the supposed offender, threw a sheet over her head, knocked her down, and maltreated her so seriously that she died in a few hours. It turned out afterwards that these paragons of feminine propriety had made a mistake in the dark, and vented their fury on the wrong person. The unhappy victim was what we should call in England a parlour boarder, who on the evening in question had undertaken to discharge the duties of the usual class teacher. ILL-TREATMENT OF A SERVANT GIRL. —At a meeting of the Greenwich Board of Guardians a letter was read from Mr. Wilton, surgeon at the Sutton district school, describing the horrible condition of Sarah Wright, aged 15, belonging to the Greenwich Union, who had returned to that establishment after being in service to a family resident at Wandsworth. Mr. Wilton states that on Sunday evening last he was called to see the girl, whom he found sitting by the fire, complaining of cold and of feeling sore all over her body. She was in a very pros trate condition, and was removed to the infirmary, where it was found she was much emaciated, the body being a mere skeleton and extremely dirty. She states that during nine months she was in her situation she had scarcely any food except bread and water, and had to sleep on a mattress in the kitchen, with no other covering than a small quilt. There were scratches on her face, caused by her mistress, she said, beating her, and a large bruise on the right shoulder from the same cause. There was a sore on each buttock, and the skin was abrased in three places over the dorsal vertebra, and also three weals on the left thigh, and the mark of a burn on the Ibreast. She states that fourteen days after entering ser vice her mistress commenced beating her, and was in the habit of striking her with fire-irons, clothes-lines, and brushes, and that for two months she had been kept without boots. Those she was wearing, and which had been given to her by her mistress, had to be cut from her feet, when she was found to be suffering from chilblains n on the also on ball of the great toe of the size of a crown-pece, ad one each heel. She states that during the nine months she received no wages, and that on one occasion when a penny was given to her her mistress took it away. When ad. muted to the infirmary she was so ravenous that it was 1 ronsidered dangerous to give her solid food, and in Mr. Wilton's opinion it will be a month before the unfortunate creature is able to leave her bed. The board unanimously agreed to a criminal prosecution against the girl's master and mistress, under the Act of Parliament specially passed for the protection of pauper children sent out to service, and directed their solicitor and clerk to take the necessary Proceedings. . • '%,.--;1" ~1 ~?~G~ ~-~-r~ DISCOVERY OF GUNPOWDER (TEA.)- Large quantities of the very finest descriptions have been discovered in Great St. Helen's, at the Warehouses of the " EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY," and are going off rapidly at importers' prices.
