The Reconstruction Convention in this
State has met and adjourned 1t has adopt
ed a constitution and form of government
which, while ii contains some features upon
which there could be an improvement, is in
every respect credit to its trainers and a
complete answer TO all calumnies which the
enemies of reconstruction have endeavored
to cast upon it. For the benefit of our
Maryland Bourbons we may say that fully
one-half of the provisions of its declaration
of rights, are almost identically the same as
their convention framed last autumn, while
the remaining half are decided improve
from them. The first article is a copy Of
the sublime truths of the Declaration of
Independence The franchise article limits
it to all save those who are DISTINGUISHED by
the Constitutional Amendment proposed by
Congress, and certain others who inflicted
cruel and unusual punishment upon 10y
alists during the war. We think it unwise
in obliging every one to take ian oath that
he will not attempt to enact any law by
which there shall be any legal distinction
on account of race or COLOR" not because
we do not favor such proposition, but we
cannot see how such an oath can have any
practical effect. Contrary to all the rumors
| so basely circulated by its enemies, the con-
stituton docs not contain a single provision
by which any body's lands are divided
amongst the negroes, nor are the latter class
each awarded mule, &C., or u horse apiece,
&C., nor any ones property oonfiscated in
any manner The Constitution thus formed
will no doubt be extensively copied in the
other un-reconstructed States, and when the
passions engendered by the war have passed
away, men will wonder that nation which
had been oppressed for more than two hun
dred years shonld on the flush of its newly
acquired freedom, unite in forming a consti-
tuition so moderate in its terms and so wise
and prudent in its various qualifications, -

Mr.. saulsbury, Of Delaware.

Washington Correspondent Cincinnati Commercial ]
Senator Salisbury, of Delaware, has not
appeared in his seat this session, and the
general impression is that he will not do So
1t will be remembered that in April last, Mr..
Sumner introduced a resolution TO expel him
from the body on account of intemperanee.
The wife of the unfortunate Senator inter
posed to prevent his disgrace, and promised
that ii the resolution were not pressed to lis
passage she would prevail on him to return
to bis home and resign his position. Sauls
bury had offended 50 often against the de-
corum of the Senate and the detlencies of
official life, that it required strong appeal
in behalf of his family to prevent the pas
sage OF Summers resolution. The subject
had been thoroughly canvassed, and the
| necessary number of votes had been pledged
to its support. On the morning of the day
upon which that action was to have been
taken, Mrs. Salisbury sent for Senator VIII
son, and made such an appeal to his sym
pathy, not for herself or her offending hus-
band, but for her little children, that he
Immediately interested himself to postpone
the verdict of the Senate ON Mr.. Salisbury
case. When he asked Sumner to withdraw
the resolution for the present, on the promise
of Saulsburys' resignation. Sumner asked
him if his Judgment dictated such course.
enc" said Wilson, "my judgment doesn't,
but my heart does"
In the July session, Mr.. Salisbury appeared
on the floor of the Senate one day, perfectly
sober, and well conducted, but on the fol-
lowing day he had fallen as low us ever, and
made most indecent exhibition of himself
in the streets of Washington. Fortunately
for him, he kept away from the Capitol, for
had he presented himself there his expul-
sion would have been summarily voted. His
friends were sent for and he was taken to
his home in Delaware and has not been in
Washington since.
Mr.. Saulsbury's case is remarkable one,
pity his weakness while they condemn his
offence. If there was any virtue in good
resolutions he would be as temperate as
Cough for he never RECEIVERS from one de-
bauch without registering a VOW never to
enter upon another. But it's the old, old
story, after all. Pretty soon he feels that
just one drink will do him Il great deal of
good and no harm, and when he INDUCES in
that one he is gone. He has no control over
himself thenceforward, and has no copsci-
BUSINESS of what he is doing until he learns
from friend that he has been drink for
three days, He is the more to be pitled be-
cause he is naturally u man of fine talents,
and by education, one of the best informed
men in Congress. He is an excellent schol-
ar and an accomplished linguist. He speaks
and reads the Greek, Latin, and Hebrew
languages with accuracy and ffuency, and is
in every respect, thoroughly educated m IN,
besides being man of fine personal APP
pearance and good public speaker.

General Grants ''privaie" letter to the
President on the removal of Secretary Stan
ton has utterly crushed the Democratic hope
that they could so misrepresent the Gener-
ais position as to destroy the confidence of
the Republicans in their chosen leader, and
perhaps thus neutralizc his influence with
as their own nominee. The National Intel
ligencer of Friday in its usual vulgularly
abusive style, opens three column battery
on Stanton and Grant. The Gazette of Bal
timorc joins in the refrain. General Grants
letter is SO ''arrogant and absurd as to fatal
''ly damage whatever character for good

FIRE.-The alarm on Monday night was caused
by the burning ola portion of the second floor of
the house furnishing establishment of Cotter,
Finn & Co., at No. 2i9 Market street. The fire
broke out at about one o'clock, and the firemen
were quickly on hand and extingushed it before
the flames had made any Roadway. The damage
sustained from the water was considerable, but is
fully covered by insurance. From the fact that
the hoisting rope which the Waterman says was
not down when he first discovered the fire, was
| down before he got back from the front of the
store 1t is supposed that the fire was the work Of
an incendiary who escaped by this means.
