From the Jackson miss. Sun.
The Condition Of the Negroes.

The condition of a great many of the
negroes around this city is really one to
excite the humane. Many of the poor
foolish creatures have left homes Of CON-
fort, under the delusive idea that they
had nothing to do but to come to town,
draw ratiOns, and live without labor
This did very well through warm wealth
er, but how are they to get through the
winter?
Many CT them are living in brush
houses, which kept off the warm rays of
the summers sun. but which will be to-
tally inadequateIto keep out the piercing
colds of winter. We saw yesterday
family of blacks-women and children
living under shed made of planks, one
end resting upon the ground, the other
upon pole elevated upon two forks
Under this rude shelter the poor crea-
lures were huddled like pigs; and thus
they are to meet the inclemencies Of
winter Their fate can be easily surmis-
ed.
Near this family there is another, liv-
ing under au old ragged tarpaulin, which
merely answers the purpose of a sieve to
filter the water through upon them.
And this is the case with hundreds of
negroes around this city. There is not
employment for all of them here, even if
they were willing to work, and they
seem determined to fight it out on this
line," rather than go into the country
where they eau be usefnlly and profita-
bly employed

The Georgia State Convention.

New YORK. Oct. 26.-The Herald's
special from Milledgeville, Ga, dated on
Yesterday, says the Georgia State Con-
yention met in the State House to-day.
President Governor johnson called the
meeting to order in a brief speech. Over
27O delegates were present. The amnes-
ty oath was administered by Judges Ar,
eron and Harris, and tie Governor called
for a vote by ballot for permanent
President. 1t was expected that Mr.
Charles J. Jenkins, of Richmond county,
would be unanimously nominated. but
he declined peremptorily, and renomina
ted Herschel V. Johnson, OF Jefferson
county.
After discussion it was decided to vote
riua roce. Mr. Johnson received all the
votes cast with the exception OF few
complimentary ones for Mr.. Jenkins.-
On taking the Chair, Mr.. johnson made
a speech, in which he suggested the duty
of the convention, and clearly Indicated
what, in consideration OF surrOundinS 3
circumstances, must be done. Inc past'
he said, cannot be corrected, but we can
reserve our posterity from its consequen
ces. A message was received from Gov'
johnson on important matters. lie an
nouuced that all the cotton purchased by
the State had been captured or burned;
that all assets of the State abroad had
b .eu drawn to the full; that all sources
of income are unavailable, and that,
therefore, it had become necessary 1or
him TO provide for the immediate emer-
gencies. He invited attention to propo-
sails for borrowing such money to the
amount of $50, 1000, and to the re-dlstrlct-
ing of the State for members OF Congress
under the new appointment: He also
recommends a change in the mode OF
representation to the General Assembly;
After some local suggestions, he stated
the debt of the State to be S2O, ,Sl3,o29;; OF
which only S5667,7 $50 was contracted be
fore the war. The debt contracted be-
fore the war, he said, is an honorable one

Happily Put.

Governor Seymour, in his speech at
Buffalo OH Saturday very happily drew
the dividing line between the two par
ties now contending for ;power. He
said:
/ do not deal in denunciation Of the
Republican party but as party they
almost always come out wrong In public
affairs, because they never start right
They are as intelligent as ourselves in all
respects but they labor under the mis-
taken idea that the great object of the
American government is to build up n
great central power that is to deprive
the people of their home rights. On tho
other hand we take our stand on the
hearthstoue and declare the great object
of the government to he to make the peo-
pie happy and protect them in their
constitutional rights and privileges. We
write upon our banner home rights and
equal taxation. Go on in Gods name
and fight this great battle for the good
of your homes, for the honor of your
country and the glory of the American
flag. Great applause.)
In struggle for the laws which bring
happiness to the hearth-stone; make
those around it secure from lawless in
reference by party which regards tho
interest and happiness of individuals rs
the chief end for which governments are
established, victory is certain

The Adams.Russeli Correspondence.

New YORK, Oct. 26-All the morning
papers comment on the Adams Russell
correspondence concerning our claims
AGAINST England for the damage inflicted
by the Anglo-rebcl pirate The Trl-
bnne. after stating the question. says
Should England ever be troubled IN
serious foreign war before her dlfhcnlty
with the United States is settled. IL
would probably not require much time
to cause her to discern her present prin-
ciples.
The Herald says the trouble arises
from the existing unsettled and unde-
termined international law, aud argues
n Congress of the great powers to settle
certain principles which will perpetuate
neace between the new and old world.

WHEELING REGISTER.
FRIDAY MORNING. OCT. 81, 1865.
The Election Yesterday.

The returns of the election in this
county, as given elsewhere, show a Re
publican majority considerably below
the estimate made yesterday by promi-
nent members of both parties. The re-
suit does not at all either surprise or dis
courage the Democracy Those most ia
miliar with party affairs have predicted
defeat for several weeks past, and they
are agreeably disappointed to find the
Republican majority 80 small. The fault
has not been in the gentlemen compos-
ing the Democratic ticket. They are
unquestionably able and honorable men,
whose reputation is above reproach.-
They have not sought Office, and only
consented to be candidates at the earnest
solicitation of their friends. That they
have been beaten reflects no discredit
upon them, neither will it bring them
single personal regret. The fault has been
in the radically defective character Of
the Democratic organization. 1t was cum
brous and unwieldy and while one man
waited upon another, the campaign pass
ed by without the necessary work being
done 1t was conceded by our opponents
some time ago that victory would rest
with the party that did the most work.
The event proves the prediction correct.
If the Democracy had been as thorough
ly organized, and labored for success as
earnestly and harmoniously as the Re-
publieans, we would assuredly have cleo
ted our ticket The Democratic strength
was not nearly brought out.
However, we may learn wisdom from
past folly and from present disaster pluck
future success. We will "pick our flint
and try again." confident that we will
vet succeed. Let us go to work again,
remedying the defects in our organiza-
ton and avoiding the errors which alone
have caused our defeat, heretofore, and
we will yet see Ohio county redeemed.
regenerated and disenthralled."

WHICH SHOULD RULE 9-The New
York Ners says: Under radical rule the
price of clothes and all things else rate
at one hundred per cent. more than un-
der the rule of Democrats. Allowing for
the incidental increase of the war ex-
penses and for other outside pressure, 1t
has been carefully aseertained that the
cost of radical rule, under NEST favora
vorable circumstances, is on the work
ingman forty per cent. more than 1t
would or could be under the rule OF any
other party. This is stout item foI
voters to digest. Will they swallow it
Will any sensible man refuse to recog
nize the party which is the working
mans friend.

IT cannot be successfully disguised,
that it is the deliberate purpose OF the
Radical leaders to open broadside of
opposition this winter upon President
Johnson, all the more to be deplored be-
cause at this period of all others, har-
mony should prevail for the more auspl-
cious result of the critical experiment
now pending. fit was disloyal to crit,
icise the policy of the President while

NATIONAL BANK Stock TAXABLE
The Court of Appeals of the State of New
York has rendered very important and
gratifying decision-that shares in the
National Banks are subject to State tax
alton. The judges of the Court are unan-
imous in this decision, and the reasons
they give are so clear and forcible that
it is hardly possible that any United
States Court, to which the case may pos
sibly be appealed, can reverse the deci-
sion. The Court holds that money loan.
ed to the Government-invested in its
bonds is not subject to State taxation,
but investments in shares Of the Nation
al Bank does not come under such dee-
ignation, and is therefore taxable. A
contrary decision would have exempted
millions of dollars in this State from tax
alton, throwing all the burthens Of sup
porting our governments on real estate.

Henry 9. Foo,e i'm New York Courts.

This morning, in the United States
Court, before Judge Nelson, Hon. Daniel
S. Dickinson, United States District At
torney, moved the court that Henry 5.
Foote, member of the defunct Confed-
eracy's Congress, be admitted to the bar
as counsellor in the Supreme Court OF
the United States The motion was
granted, and Mr.. Foote stepped up to the
Clerks desk to take the oath. The first
of the oath, to support the constitution
of the United State and of the State of
New York, he took without wincing, but
the oath of allegiance was too stiff for
him. After listening attentively to its
stringent requirements, Mr.: Foote de-
clared that his connection with the late
rebel government rendered it impossible
that he should subscribe to such an
oath, and he left the court room.
