Such scheme was once carried through

Scarcely had the ink dried upon the article
we published yesterday In relation to proposed
reforms in our mercantile marine, when &C
counts of the total loss by fire Of the steamship
Andalusia, off Hatteras, came to hand. This
disaster, accompanied, unfortunately, by loss
of life, was the result OF carrying combustible
articles as freight without proper precautions
being taken for security against 6re-a danger
aimed to be guarded against by the bill in re-
lation to the merchant marine Of the United
States presented to the last Congress by Mr..
Eliot, Of Massachusetts. 1t too frequently hap
pens that combustible and explosive materials
are shipped on steamers and sailing vessels as
dry goods or other harmless merchandise, the
true character Of which masters Of vessels are
criminally kept in ignorance of by the shippers
until some direful calamity makes their real
nature known. In the proposed new law this
point is covered by the most rigid regulations,
in the face of which it is next to impossible to
disguise the character of any dangerous or
explosive commodity placed on shipboard.
We hope the present Congress will take this
matter in hand at once and adopt measures to
prevent, as soon as possible, the recurrence
of these melancholy casualties at sea, the cata-
logue of which is daily becoming more and
more extended.

II is a striking fact that the actual reduction
Of the national debt within single year, from
March l, 1866, to March l, 1867, amounts to
Slsl, 0s6,llO. AT this rapid rate Of reduction
the entire debt could be wiped out in fifteen
years. But it would have been done at the
expense of the present generation, who have
already borne their full share of the distresses
and burdens Of the war, and might, both fairly
and advantageously, be relieved in part of the
crushing weight of taxation which 1t would
impose. Those shortsighted economists who
would fain force unnaturally premature
resumption Of specie payments would but pre-
cipitate disastrous financial revulsion. The
national debt will melt away fast enough with
out any artificial forcing Of the process Within
o very few years it will form scarcely per-
ceptible element in the swift current of our
national prosperity.

The state Constitutional Convention.

The two houses Of the Legislature are at
loggerheads on the subject of the State Con-
stitutional Convention. The Assembly passed
the bill in good form, in conformity with the
recommendations Of Governor Fenton, pro-
viding for the election OF one hundred and
twenty-eight delegates by Assembly districts
and thirty-two delegates at large, to be divided
equally between the two political parties in
the State. The Senate, after wasting much
valuable time in Hlibustering, decided upon
bill which provides for thu election OF dele
gates by Senate districts, excludes the thirty
two delegates at large and extends the sui.
frage to negroes.
1t is said that the difficulties experienced by
this measure grow out Of i'll feeling towards
Governor Fenton on the part Of the friends of
Lieutenant Governor Alvord, who was thrown
overheard at the last republican State Con-
vention. II these parties have any in
juries to avenge they should seek some
other opportunity than that afforded by
the bill to provide for the election of dele
gates TO the State Constitutional Convention.
The constitution requires them to enact the
law necessary to carry out the popular will as
expressed in the November election, and the
people of the State are anxious that the Con-
vention of Revision should assemble at as early
day as practicable. There are great inter-
ests involved in the amendment of the funda-
mental law of the State, and as the revised
constitution will have to be submit ed to the
popular vote next November, it is important
that it be perfected in time to be thoroughly
examined and understood by the people before
they are called upon to decide for or against
It's adoption. II the subject is to go TO q COM
mittee of conference the President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House should be
careful to appoint committees made up Of the
friends Of the Assembly bill, who will push 1t
through without any further delay.

The House OF Representatives yesterday
adopted resolutions empowering the Judiciary
Committee, as soon as formed, to continue the
investigation into the charges made against
the President of the United States in the last
Congress, during the sessions Of the House, or
during any recess which the present Congress
may take. In the debate which preceded this
action OF the House Mr.. Ashley made
an unnecessarily violent attack upon
the President, in the course of which
he repeated the silly and unfounded charge
Of completely in the assassination Of
Mr.. Lincoln, and was called to order by the
Speaker. The country understands that Mr..
johnson is to be impeached for usurping the
powers Of Congress and for obstructng the
work Of reconstruction, and would prefer to
see this done without the display Of personal
malice and maiignity in which some crazy
radicals indulge. Brooks, Fernando Wood
and others took part in the debate, but John
Morrissey does not appear to have raised bis
voice in defence of the President. The resolu-
tions, after . great deal Of unnecessary dis
cussion, were adopted without division.

A CoIored P.ll.lca, Meeting in Richmond

n COl0red FoIitlcal Meeting In RicumOno
For the first time in the history Of Virginia
public meeting, composed exclusively Of
colored people, having for its object matters
Of purely political character, has been held
at the capital OF the Old Dominion. The pro-
ceedings are Represented as having been con-
Quoted in quiet, orderly and dignifed man
ner, and altogether relieved from those wild
and senseless harangues with which white
Northern fanatics are in the habit of disturbing
similar meetings in other parts of the country.
1t is by conducting themselves in this intel
ligent and orderly manner, and by utterly re-
pudiating the white scamps who profess to be
their sympathizers and allies, that the colored
people of the South will in due time attain
political status and power which must COM
mand the attention of the communities in
which they live. 1t rests with leading
Southerners TO decide whether this power
shall be used for their own benefit and
directed to the purpose Of regaining their
former political influence in the Union, or
whether by cruelty, oppression and contempt
it shall be cast into the scale of their oppo-
nents. Now is the time for the Southern
leaders to throw aside their old prejudices
and ask themselves the very imrqrtant ques-
ton, whittier shall this new political element
go! 1t will be wise for them to take this
matter in hand in time, else they may see slip
through their fingers the very means by which
they may regain political strength and recog-
milton, and the bridge that has been erected to
carry them safely over the bitter waters Of
secession and disunion be destroyed, never,
perhaps, to be restored. The colored people
of Richmond have started off very well for
first attempt. Let them continue moderate
and orderly, Danish from their councils all
white fanatics and revolutionists, who only
live on agitation, and they may in due time
not only be worthy Of, but influential enough
to command respect.
