The ALABAMA RECoNsrRUcTioN CONVENTION
A special dispatch from Montgomery, Ala,
says the question Of prescription and disranchise
ment was discussed in the convention. Some very
violent speeches were made by Bingham and Grit
fin. A resolution to leave Acknowledgement where
the military bill had left it was defeated by vote
of sixty-three to twenty two. This vote shows
the strength of the extreme party, who are deter
mined not merely to have universal negro suffrage
but also to pass sweeping measure Of disiran'
chiscmcnt. The moderate men say they will re.
open the question on Monday and have il decisive
ly settled.
Another dispatch says the republican party pro
pose to elect all the State and county officers a
the same time. The constitution is to be submit
ted to the people in hopes Of getting a larger vote
on its ratification and prevent any loss to the Re
pubicans on account Of the freedmen changing
their homes on the first of January.

may be detected by the paper being a tride thick

glance fully as correct that Of the genuine but
a close scrutiny shows that it is good wood cut

candidate for President Col Foruey wrote the
article after a conference held Yesterday with
Grants friends. In the opening Of it Col. Fomey
says:
1.-THE only matter for discussion, we will not
say dispute, is whether Gen. Grant is in hearty
accord with the great republican party. 1t is be-
cause we believe answer this inquiry salts
factoriIy that we enroll ourselves among those
who hail him as the providentia instrument to de-
feat the renewed Vaccinations Of the enemies OF
the republic"

Gen. Grant to de6ne his position, and state il be

presidency, and who openly announces himself as
very decidedly against Gen. Grant.

DAsTARDLY OurRAGE.-Last Sunday evening"
about o'clock, Mr., Goodelrs boy, of Woodstock
aged H. stepped to the door to procure some ar
ticle hung out ON tree in the yard, and as he
opened it he says a man presented pistol to his
breast and fired. The ball passed through his
coat sleeve, between the and his chest setting
the coat on FIRE, but doing no other injury. The
neighborhood was instantly aroused and strict
watch kept, but one was discovered lurking
about and the whole transaction remains mystic
ry The boy supposes the attack upon him was
made by the parties who were stealing his fathers
turhies few evenings before, and upon whom he
fired at that time. The officers and neighbors
have their suspicious, but as they may not be well
founded, no names should be given.

PHYSIOLOGY AS APPLIED TO LIFE INSURANCE.
II. S. Lambert, M. D., Vice President Of the
American Popular Life Insurance Company, de-
livered lecture last evening, at Village Hall,
upon the above named subject The lecturer said
but very little about life insurance as a business.
thus relieving his remarks from any unpleasant
odor Of the shop" but stated facts in an inter-
estng way, and dressed up illustrations in form
pleasing and instructive that an hour and half
passed off before any one thought of becoming ia
tigucd. The lecturer believed in brains, and
dwelt at some length upon the influence which the
diet had upon that important part Of the human
being, Some ofhis illustrations were very anus
ing and excited an occasional demonstration of
satisfaction on the part of the audience. The
subject Of longevity was the main feature of the
lecture, and was treated with a familiarity that
showed the speaker to be master of the situation.
DR.. Lambcrt's second lecture, at Village Hail. on
the of the 9th inst, drew a crowded house. The
large audience was both intelligent and attentive,
illustrating how much interest can be aroused in
the minds of all by discussing the practical affairs
of every day life in an ineligible and familiar
manner. Such lectures are always good for the
people and such lecturers benelactors, whether
Life Insurance or any other great question Of pub
lie or domestic policy is the theme.

We learn that at the Democratic pow-wow in
Montpelier, recently i. j. Phelps, Esq, of Bur
lington, was called out and made speech closely
after the bad style Of Vallandgham, denouueing
the tariffs and taxcs--even upon his own dog when
he imported that luxury from Cane1aas design
ed, not for the payment of debts forced upon the
country by rebels and their Democratic sympa-
thzcrs at the North, but for the support Of thieves
who hold the Federal offices Mr.. Dickey follow
ed, and very infelicitously informed the audience
that Mr.. Phelps had himself held an Office in Wash
ington, and therefore the audience were much in
doubt whether Mr.. Phelps thieves were not his
own associates aforctime, or those with whom he
now associates, who are quite willing to take the
crumbs that fall from Andy Johnson's table. Ger
tainly Mr.. Phelps was and is unfortunate. Pos
sessed of powers worthy Of his lineage, and unsur-
passed by any man olhis age in Vermont, he gives
himself wisely to his profession rather than to
craftsmanship or politics but, very unwisely. he
permits himself TO be called out by those whom
The accidents of former party times have unfortu-
