The Alabama Senate has refused simple
charter to a company which proposed to facil-
itate the introduction of white labor into that
State. That seems to us a sensible proceeding
There are to-day thousands of whites In the
State who are idle, and suffering for the neces-
saries Of life and, in the absence of proof, we
assume that these would rather work than
shiver In rags If they had the chance. Before
importing labor, we advise Alabama TO give
employment and comfort to what she already
has.--TriIane s n 800 "a -

CONCLUSION.

We add to the letter of our correspondent
the sequel of the proceedings he describes,
which being communicated by telegraph
messages, give no details. These messages
announce the defeat of consolidation by a
majority of one hundred and sixteen; and
they also announce the reelection Of Colo
mel Owen by majority Of forty-seren hun-
bred and Mity-nine rotes.
1t is plain that the vote not being an.
nouuced, aud indeed the absent proxies
not being all called on Friday night when
the meeting adjourned, the opponents OF
consolidation gathered up as many proxies
as possible, and were thus enabled on Sa-
turtlay morning to overcome the majority
against them. The result is gratifying and
astonishing. 1t is a most difficult matter
to beat the unit vote Of the State.
We understand that Mr.. Wyndham Ro-
bertson, although coming to Lyncbburg
entirely uncommitted and undecided, was
convinced by the argument that consolida-
ton was wrong, and that it would be seri-
ously injurious to some Of the cities Of the
State, and especially to Richmond. He
opposed it in argument with his colleagues,
the State proxies, with great emphasis and
force.-Editors Dispatch. so

0Aronicls bases it1is objection Upon the fact,
which be assumes to Ibe such, that people
naturally prefer the dictionary system, or
reducing quantities by continually re-
peated process Of halving or dissection. Tho
Scientific American, good authority on such
questions, has repeatedly expressed the
opinion that even for ordinary srithmetieal
and geometrical calculations the decimal
system I. not so good as an dictionary one
that might be established. But as for our
selves We decline to discuss the question.

! ar, nnahle TO learn that there has been
&C vet the least disposition on the part OF
the President 10 admit the propriety OF
sncb 4 course. 1t Is very definitely set
fled that the objection which manifested
itself with few Of the extreme Radicals
with regard to the amendment on account
OF the insufficiency Of its provisions against
the admission Of the southern States will
be revived at the next session, and receive
additional strength In the support OF all
those who endorse the dogma OF congress
sioual guarantees for the admission Of States
into the Union.
The next session will be, fortunately for
the country, . short one; but in that time
il il contemplated to inaugurate various
new laws and measures which have been
in the Radical mind for long while. First
and foremost It is asserted there will be
the appointment Of another Of those partl-
san Star Chamber committees, of which. Mr..
Boutwell,, OF Massachusetts, will be chair
man, aud whose duty it will be to investi-
gate the conduct Of the President in order
to ascertain If there be any cause for i'm
peachment. This will occupy large share
of attention, and it is predicted now that
the results Of their labors will be to quietly
lay aside the question Of impeachment
which Is now so extensively canyassed.
