The Alabama State Convention adjourned after com-
pleting a constitution, repealing the secessionoartnclonQ
for ever abolishing slavery, and yepudia
created by the State of Alabama in aid of the late re-
bellion, either directly or indirectly. The Convention de-
cided, by a vote of sixty-one to twenty-five, to submit
the amendments to the constitution to a popular vote.
A memorial was adopted praying President Johnson to
grant a general amnesty and pardon to the Southern people.
A resolution was adopted declaring that, whereas the
people of Alabama have given unmistakable evidence of
their loyalty, they, therefore, pray that the President will
withdraw the troops from the state. The constitution, as
amended, was adopted. The resolution of adjournment
provides that the convention may be called together by the
President of the Convention on or before the 24th of
September. The Convention also passed an ordinance by
a vote of fifty-nine to sixteen, which practically establishes
the right of admission of negro testimony in courts of
justice in all difficulties arising between negroes them-
selves, or between whites and negroes.
The cargo of a New London (Connecticut)
whaler, just in, is worth $150,000. The New Bedford
Mercury says the master of a whaloship, which not long
since arrived from a voyage of thirty-seven months, took
as his part of the proceeds the handsome sum of $42,000
—a larger amount than was ever before received by a
whaling captain for a single voyage.
