BRAXToN COUNTY, I
CLAY TOWNSHIP.

The election is over, and the vote
is l26 against the amendment of the
onstitution-ttat is of the votes that
were registered-and there was 90 con.
stitutional voters that were on differ
ent poll, likewise against the amend
ment. There was not one vote in this
township in favor of the amendment
The radicals would not face the music,
but they think that Governor Boreman
will have to do the dirty work himself,
of setting aside the elections so that
the amendment may succeed. His tools
in this county did their best to defeat
the wishes of the people, but the dog is
dead. You may count on 400 of a major
ity in Braxton county. OK.

observer" writes in the National In
telligencer:
The course Of the majority in the pre-
sent Congress upon many measures OF
great public interest has achieved for it
a reputation most disgraceful to the Ma
tional Legislature and degrading TO the
country 1t has carried corruption TO
such an excess that a scale of prices has
been fixed by lobby agents for votes in
Congress npon the various piunder
schemes presented. The success of even
most m ritorious matters can only be Sc
cured by subsidies to managers in he
lobby and the payment Of the sums ex-
acted for votes on the door II has come
to'such pass, that after measures in
volving large pecuhiary emoluments
have been voted upon aud defeated, as
sertions are openly made that they can
be revived and passed upon the payment
of so much per capita for the votes re-
quired. In the case of the Mexican
loan against which there was, at one
time very decisive vote in the House,
Notwithstanding a majority Of the mem
bers have expressed themselves strongly
in favor of the Monroe doctrine, the adj
vocates of the measure have had their
confidence Of ultimate success revived
by assurances that the requisite number
Of votes can be procured at the rate of
nine thousand dollars apiece. As this
proposition involves fixed sum, upon
which the per centage Of the lobby fund
can be calculated, it will be easy TO de-
termine the rate Of per centsge neces-
ssry to inquire the success Of any other
measure involving attainable values,
from the extension Of the Freedmens
Bureau, to the prohibitory tariff.

Yesterday, while the members of the

immense congregation Of negroes, armed
with clubs, was arrayed in front of the
State House, where the convention was
assembled On every thoroughfare,
blacks with clubs in their fists, were tend
ing in tides to the capitol
Between IL and o'clock a procession

headed BY band Of music, crossed Canal

A gentleman, in passing them, was
knocked down by one of them. Mr.. Gre
yon, aid Of the Chief Of Police, witnessed
the outrage, and, although assailed by
several of the negroes, arrested the per
son who broke the peace and secured hi,
irnprisonment The procession marched
on In the vicinity Of the State House,
as we have heard, some white and col
ored boys got into a quarrel. White
men. standing on the steps of the State

From New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug l.-Gen. Sheridan
returned this morning from BRACES San
tiago. Y 3 = s.
Gen. Baird has appointed military
commission to investigate the Conven-
ton riots, with Gen. Mower as President
Mayor Munroe has addressed letter
10 General Baird, saying that without
attempting to dispute his martial
law order he must respectfully
express sstonishment at such step, at a
time when none of those exigencies ex-
listed. The aid of the military, says the
Mayor, would have been gladly received
TO rebress violence at the time when such
Intervention was needed, but | am at
loss to ascertain by what authority it is
made to assume the virtual suppression of
civil authority, which we have been
taught that it is the principal duty of
military officers in this country, to sus-
tain and enforce. If am to understand
from the words of your order that it is
your desire to prevent recurrence of
the NOTORIOUS and unlawful proceed
ings" of Monday, ] would most res
specially suggest that your re-
lease of all the rioters and their
accessories, who had been arrested by
the police-being the first act Of admin
istration of martial law, is not well cal
culated to accomplish your object. Nun
roe concludes by declining to act as
Mayor until civil authority is restored
