are frozen !; the Welland canal stopped. The
rivers of Maine, the Connecticut river, the
Upper Mississippi and the upper part of
the Hudson are also frozen over, whilst

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Dec. z. 1866.
The bogus Alabama Convention adjpurn-
ed here yesterday. after session of twenty
eight days, which will cost the burdened
people of the State the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars, not to speak of an amount OF
trouble that no money value can estimat, :.
The new Constitution differs in quite a
number OF important respects from that
adopted i'm the Convention of 1865 The
document is too long to send you verbatina,
orcupy ing many columns. bur the essen
tial points are about as follows:
Section OF the Declaration of Right.
reads: ''All persons resident in this State,
born in the United States, or naturaliz. q.
or who shall have legally declared their
intention to become citizens of the United
States, are hereby declared citizens ot the
State of Alabama. possessing equal ctuu and
political rights and public prtUtleges." This
latter clause is understood TO confer social
equality on all public cOnveyances. on
railroads, steamboats,, in sleeping cars. &C..
and, in the hands of Radical interprete
will be made to mean any excess ct this
kind that may be necessary to prOpitiate
the negro vote. No person is hereafter T.
be in any way imprisoned for debt. All
navigable waters are declared public hgn-
ways, and the permission OF the Genera al

imposition or collection of anv charge for r
the use of shores or wharf. No property
qualification whatever is to be required for
election to, or holding of. any office. M

How the Radical. FiiIibustered.

The New York Times gives the following
account of the manner in which the Radi-
Gals fillibustered on Friday in order to en-
force their demands of impeachment. The
sharp thrust at SCHENCK is another illus
tration of the harmony that pervades the
Republican party:
At the conclusion of his speech he NOV
ed. a test question. to lay the majority
report and resolutions on the table. and OF
that motion demanded the previous que>-
ton. 1t was evident at once that the m
ton would prevail, and the impeachmer
men had practically conceded its defeat.
But some of the extremists, like Schenck.
Logan ard others, who had not their
say, insisted upon having an op-
portunity TO speak, and being for once in
an uncomfortable minority they resorted
to the disgraceful practice of fillibusterina
to enforce their demands. OF the four hour
of debate yester 'ay and to-day, impeach.
ment had two hours and three quarters
and anti impeachment one hour and
quarter. The Democrats and antrim
peachment Republicans objected to this
the former because they did not want
talk themselves, and the leading member
of the latter because the clamor for five an''
ten minute speeches would inevitably leat
to a personal wrangle aud illtempered de-
nunciation, unbecoming the dignity o
the subject, and not in keeping witt
the character of the debate thus far, whici
had been marked by the most calm. dis
passionate and non-partisan tone and TEN

and Wilson and to the House. But Mr.

the cause OF placing him at the head of the
