The Alabama State Convention.

MoNTaoMrRY, September IA The new
ly elected State Convention of Alabama met
here day, and there were about ninety
members present. Ex-Governor Fitzpat-
rick was chosen president by acclamalion.
The delegates comprise many Of the abIest
and best men Of the State. 1t Is supposed
that the action of the body will pretty close
ly follow that Of The Mississippi COnven-
ton. Governor Parsons believes and hopes
that resolutions permitting negro testimony
in the courts will be passed. In any event
the doings OF the convention will be Of q
decidedly conservative tone. All the mem
bers present have taken the prescribed oath
OF loyalty.

A VALUABLE RGcEIrr-The Scientific
American says: "The unpleasant odor pro.
duced by perspiration is frequently source
of vexalion to persons who are subject to it.
Nothing is simpler than TO remove this
odor much more eifeclnally than by the
application of such onguents and perfumes
as are in use. 1t is only necessary to pro-
cure some of the compound spirits of am
monia and place about two table spconfuls
in basin of water. Washing the face,
hands and arms with this leaves the skin
as clean, sweet and fresh as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless and very
cheap. 1t is recommended on the authority
of on experienced physician.

For the privilege of selling books and
newspapers on the Hudson River Railroad,
it is said that no less than $4,000 year is
paid. For the same privilege on the
Central Railroad, the tax is $1,000 per wear
This seems large sum, and yet it is said
that a large income is derived from the op-
erations. On the Hudson River road the
sales average 800 10 each through train
On the Central the average is $3.50 pei
train. The books and papers are not sold
by the owners of the right, but by boys
employed by them. Tie boys receive fif
teen per cent. on oil sales, and make larg'
wages.

The New Bedford Mercury says they
have positive intelligence that the British
Pirate Shenandoah had burned twenty five
whale ships in the North Pacific ocean up
to the 29th of July, and bonded ten. Six
teen Of Tie burned and three Of the bonded
belonging to that port. The persistence of
Waddell in this foul work, after the news
Of the surrender of Gen. Lee reached him,
creates the apprehension that he has carried
out his threat to destroy the entire whaling
fleet.
| The loss Of this fleet to New Bedford
and another whaling ports is immense, so
great that it cannot be repaired for many
years to come. The people there are de-
pressed but not dispiried.

A Member of the Bar Indicted.

The Grand Jury of St. LOUIS county on
the 10Th inst, returned into the Criminal
Court an Indictment against Samuel T.
Glover, Esq, for practising as an attorney
and counsellor at law without first taking
the oath of loyalty prescribed by the new
Constitution Of the State. The indictment
is preferred on the information Of Mr..
Glover himself, and at his request, and that
Of other leading members of the bar, for
the purpose of testing the validity Of the
section which prohibits attorneys from
practicing unless they first subscribe to
the oath.
The case will be disposed Of in the
Criminal Court at an early day, and pro-
baby without trial. In lieu of it, the matter
will come up on demurrer, and if over
ruled by the Court lie will plead guilty, and
judgment will be entered against him from
which he will appeal. The Supreme
Court can decide upon it at the October
term, and if the decision be adverse to the
defendant further appeal will be taken to
the Supreme Court of the United States.

THE YUBA LIGHT INFANTRY AND THE FIX
Passive should judge by the reading OF an
item in Mrs. Surratt's organ, that the editor had
appointed himself the special attorney Of the
1uba Light lnfantry-a company We believe to
be made up of loyal men. But what has ired
the old lady is the lie" which was given her
by the 0roville Guard. That's what's the mat
ter. If we may be allowed to express an opin-
ion about this, in a sense OF etiquette. we would
say it was ungallant in the Orovie Guard TO
charge a lady with ''lie." But this is not
our funeral. We only allude to the matter to
show the impotence the Express manifests in
taking the Iuba Light Infantry under its rebel
wing. We only refer to the matter for the pur.
pose OF making quotation or two. The deeply
afflicted old lady of the Express remarks: I'VE
intimated there would be more of this matter
between the Orovie Guard and the Express,
for we could hardly believe OUR Light Infantry
would allow US to be placed in false position
when they could, so easily, place us right" II
the editor "intimated there would be more Of
this matter between the Oroville Guard and the
Express" he has kept his inimation. BIT let
that 60. The editor assumes the card of the
Iuba Light Infantry was written expressly to
exonerate him from the charge of lying We
understand the card differently. The card would
never have seen daylight had there been no
other object. The Yuba Light Infantry card
was published in the APPEAL and Express in
reply to the card from the Orovie Guard, ap.
pesring in the Oroville Union Record The
fuba Light Infantry did not care whether the
Express told lie or not the truth so far as the
lie or truth affected that paper. But we cannot
close this item without referring to one word in
the extract. The Express says "our" Yuba
Light Infantry. We hardly think the Company
will acknowledge the paternity. The relation.
ship we think, extends too far to suit the \ uba
Light Infantry. The Express, the other day,
in comparing the Fenian movement to the rebel
lion, remarked: Will it 60 down as it has gone
up. with same rapidity of motion, or will it.
like the rebellion of our otrn SUNNY South flash
for time, like a brilliant star in the political
heaven, and then fall back to worse chains and
slavery than before" How does the Yuba
Light Infantry like "our own sunny South ?"
1t Is "our" private opinion, publicly expressed,
that the Yuba Light Infantry does not &C.
knowledge the Express as its organ The
members of that Company have some slight
recollections Of reading something in that rebel
sheet about "Llncoln't birelings. So appeal.
