The portion Of Scnator Doolittlc's Madison
speech, which We publish this ruorntnc, re-
!ates 20 The power exercised by the President
fnappointing Provisional Governors for Sya.es
Token with lis context, which we published
yesterday, It would seem to he M argument
to show that the State may be still alive, md
yet .le President do 30 violence to its life In
appointing Provisional Governor for it. II
would also seem to be m argument to show
that the President may lawfully and constitu-
t1onaily appoint Provisional Governor for
ssnfe, but cannot lawfully or constitutlonally
require negro suffrage in State. Tlc ar,~u-
mcnt is curious one, and Us NC have not
secn 1t anywhere else, VIC conclude that 1t is
original with Senator Doolittlc. He
holds that the power to appoint a
Provisional Governor Is part Of the
peaet-naking power Of the wnr-makins power.
whatever that may he, and that these Pro.
y7sional Governors are not Governors, but
a97as, ttor whatever yon choose 10 call
thcm," designated by the President to 20
into the lately rcbeliious States and bring
him Information. In Other words, they are
"ep'es " DIR. Doolittlc applies that term to
them In one place. appointed 10 60 into The
cncmy's country, and ascertain for the PresI-
dent whether the Stale is ready to return TO
its alleseiance to the United States. This In
formation The spy mcy obtain by calling the
people together and putting the question to
them, or In any other way he chooses and If
they say yes, then the President is authorized
under the peace making power to lay down the
war-malins power and disb1nd Ills
armies. What lawful and constitutional
powers the President has, or these spies hare,
TO require The STATE TO abolish slavery, and to
declare that nobody Elau vote in the s..te
VINO does Lot take m oath PRESCRIBED blythe
President, Is not stated by Mr.. Doo1i.tle. So
We ere Lett as much In tie dark Is before MS
10 the real point in issue. Couceclue that
the Provisional Governors arc nothing but
mcnb1s Of the Presidents secret service. Tic
great question, where the President derives |
the power to Impose conditions npou State
which Is still In the Union, remains unsored.
But these Provisional Governors are some.
thing Eoce tllan spies. They a.e exactly
what their name implies, executive officers
dc 5deto, Of their respective States- Have
they not appointed snd commissioned sheriff,
and other civil cfllecrs NIL orer those siatcss
!. This dodge will not nnswcr, and Senator
Dooljttle should be ashamed OF It. Lori
enlly, It Is not n whit more respectable thsa
the old method Of proving that horse chest
mt Is 3 chestnut horse. It skips the real |
Issue, and gives 10 the Provisional Governors
Characters which do not belong 10 them,
which every one Of them would resent, and
which the President never dreamed Of when |
he appointed them, as is plainly shown in his
several ptOclamations Cf apDofufrnou} fp

We publish elsewhere portion Of the tes-
tfmony In the Harris divorce suit. 1t Is sad
case. A couple married in 1876, md poor
when married, live through twelve years OF
comparative poverty, in virtue and happiness,
Eight children are born to them md they
congratulate each other on their domestic
felicity. A few years more pass. The hus-
band becomes suddenly wealthy In qunck
medicine trode. Absorbed In his business, he
sces little of his family Changing Their.

whim TINT wealth aud opportunity conld sus-
gest, ard painfully deficient In The tastes,
habits and manners beAtting her wealth and
opportunities.
Her husband seems to have nlternatcd q
st1enec disregard or obliviousness to
the suspicious circumstances which con-
stantly surrounded her, with IN occa
sional flight Of temper or gust Of weak
violence, that apparently expended itself In
scIzing her wrists or boxing her cars instead
Of horsewhippiug or shooting her paramou1s.
shc sinks into disgusting seusua!ity, carries
on her numerous md shameful a,nours with
the knowledge Of her children and servants,
and finally boHowa the language as well as
the morality of q common street lral,, and
h1ls her palntial home with continued round
Of profauc obscen1ty. The lesson taught by
this wrctcbed fate Of fanily ts1at, had it re-
maincd poor would doubtless have con-
tinued yirtuous md respected, Is
that mere wealth, without those quail
ties OF mind and heart which reader It

only hastcns the fall, and udrcrtises more
widely the shame Of the supposed "fortu.

then, rs In the cases Of the Forrest fan1lly, tho

is told. In others, which have never come
into court, the real facts are almost as widely

ibis being the Last dny for the Convention
to sit, considerable business IVES despatched,
Mr. Jones, Of Marcngo, introduced a reso-
.lut1on requesting the Withdrawal Of the Fed.
eral forces Gom tho State, which was adopted.
An ordinance providing for tho Issue Of State
bonds to pay interest on Stale indebtedness.
incurred prior to the 11th Of January, 1861, was
ndopted, after seycal attempts to amend 60
rs to inclnde TIC Confederate war debt.
Probably tho State would have boen bur1ened
with this illegal Indebtedness, had not des-
patches been received to the effect that tho
convention must abolish elnvery FOREVER, and
rcpndiate the Confederate war debt, or they
could do nothing In Washington. These
despatchcs, although from selEcoustitutcd |
delegation Of Aabamians In Washington, had |
n decided influence upon the members Of the |
convention.
Rather sererc comment upon the tendency !
Of the clivalry, was the passage of resolu. !

an act 10 prohibit the intcrmarriase OF white !
persons with negroes, making the parties to !
such marriage subject TO criminal psosecu. |

A committee of three was appointed to |

something to communicate, which, according
10 the report of the COMMITTEES, be did not.
except to tender bis thanks for the COURTESY.

CAPT. BowERs.-We were much pleased
at receiving call this morning from our old
friend and army correspondent Capt Henry
Bowers. Capt. Bowers was on Gen. Wood
bury's staff, and was in active service in the
army of the Potomac during the first two
years of the war. General Woodbury. being
then ordered to Key West, Florida, Captain
Bowers, of course was included in the order.
Wt:,o there nearly all of our officers and
men had that terrible. scourge, the yellow fe-
yer. Gen. Woodbury. died. Capt Bowers
barely escaped with life, and with his health
permanently impaired. He was afterwards
stationed in Tennessee, land is now at home on
sick leave His health has been destroyed in
the service of the Union. We trust he may
find among his family and friends here, rest
for his mind and recuperation of body. He
is gallant officer and most accomplis he'd
gentleman.
