- The planters in Georgia are taking steps to
procure supply of foreign labor, in time for next
years crop. A meeting was held at Vadosta, in
the Southern part of the State at which Major p.
e. Pendleton was appointed agent to proceed to
Europe at once The Valdosta Times says:
''He was instructed to contract with laborers for
two and three years if in his opinion practicable,
and to allow minister Of the Gospel OF the faith
of the emigrants and also brewer to accompany
them if desired by them. Each subscriber was
required to give descriptive list Of the number
and kind of aborers wanted, and the ageata1t@hor- nor
the laborer supporting himself.
It was the expressed and emphatic opinion OF
the meeting that no planter ought to employ u
freedman who has been discharged b. his employ
er for misconduct, but that the freedman should
have q recommendation from his former EN-
ployer." .... .......- ....
The agent selected seems to be man Of energy,
as he writes to the Macon Telegraph that parties
wishing to avail themselves of his services, may
address him at Savannah up to the 25th Of Sep
tember and from that time to the 3Oth, at New
York, care Of VIM Bryce & Go. If his schedule
has not been delayed by Provdential causes. he is
probably on the Atlantic by this time.
Who Can be Candidates for the Conventiona
Some days ago, letter was addressed to Gen.
Scho6eld, commanding the first Military District,
making inquiries as to who are eligible to seats
in the State Conventions, to be called under
the laws of Congress. The General decides un-
hesitatingly, that all qualified voters are eligible.

SIR: I have received your communication ask
ing my decision of the question whether delegates
to the State Convention will be required to take
the oath prescribed by act of Congress for officers
of the United States, by section 9 Of the act
of July 10th, for 'a persons hereafter elected or
appointed to Office in said Military District, under
any socaed State or municipal authority, or detail
or appointment, Of the District Commander" In
reply, have no hesitation in saying that delegates
to the State Convention cannot be required to take
the oath referred to- Section 9 Of the act OF July
18th refers to officers elected under the authority
of the so-called provisional States Government.
This cannot be construed to include delegates to
State Convention elected under authority. of the
Congress of the United States. No oath what
ever has been prescribed by law for delegates to the
State Convention, and there is no authority but
Congress competent to prescribe such oath. The
only restriction imposed upon the registered voters
in the selection of their delegate to the Convention,
is that contained in the fifth section Of the act OF
March Goth, viz: "No person excluded from the
privilege of holding Office by said proposed amend.
ment to the Constitution of the United States shall
be eligible to election as member of Convention
to frame Constitution for any of the said rebel
States" Yours, very Respectfully,
.... j. NJ. ScHoFIELD,
Brevet Maj. General, U. s. A.
The Snare of Reputation.
In recent speech in Butts county, Georgia,
Hon. B. d. Hill, the Southern Henry of Navarro,
whose white plume floats wherever the war against
Radicalism RACES fercest, thus exposes the falacy
of the CRY, Convention and Relief.
'Recently, as have shown you, your avarice OF
dishonesty has been appealed to. Secret circulars
have been issued from the very shadow Of head
quarters by tools there employed, whispering that
repudiation can be accomplished through Con.
vention. Convention and Relief" is the last eli.
matte note of the sedueing serpent. have shown
you how deceitfuly wicked this pretence is. RI
the Constitution of the United States which forbids
repudiation. Our State Constitution only con-
forms to that Now can State Convention
change the Constitution Of the United States
No; and the Door creatures that seek to have you
deceived know it. This is nare-intended as q
snare They know that clause in the State Con.
stitution DESTROYING or impairing the obligation Of
contracts" would be in violation Of the plain Ian
guage of the Constitution of the United States,
and that clause would be declared voa. I have
also shown YOU that the very Radical Congress
which is to pass on your Constitution, has been
furnishing more new remedies to facilitate the col.
