Alabama Conservative Convention

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept So clock ?.
NV iliams and Holmes, the colored Con
servatve speakers from Tennessee, spoke here
this evening in front Of Montgomery Hall -
Williams denounced the League, and was fire.
quently interrupted by blacks belonging to the
League AT one time they drew off over half
the crowd, and created such confusion that the
speaker could not proceed Several col,red
speakers followed Williams, all advocating
harmony between the races. At the conclu-
sion, the negro leaguers mobbed Williams
He was rescued by the citizens and Federal
officers, and carried into the hotel com
pany Of cavalry was on hand as precautionary
measure, and with drawn swords rode through
aud dispersed the riotous blacks and protected
the orator The black leaguers were in session
last night, and it is reported that they decided
to allow Williams to speak, but to handle him
if be did not talk right. Threats we're freely
made by the blacks on the street yesterday and
to day to lynch him. His speech was generally
conciliatory IN tone. He declared that the
leagues deprived freedmen of their political
freedom, and made them mere tools of Northern
white Radicals, whom he dashed without mercy.
Everything is quiet now but the blacks still
threaten loudly.
The Conservative convention to-day passed
q resolution requesting Williams aud Holmes
to address the blacks throughout the State
They will 80 TO Mobile and speak there Gen.
James n. Clonton was conspicuous in defend
ing Williams.

The PROCLAMATION OF AMNESTY. During
the deliberations Of the Cabinet yesterday, il is
understood that it became evident that, 10 the
opinion Of every member present, the legal
effect OF the contemplated amnesty procama-
ton would be to relieve all persons included
within its terms from all disqualifcalions, as
we'll as all penalties incurred by their compli
civ ia the late rebellion, add, of course, $50 far
as the action of the General Government is
concerned, from disability as to the exercise Of
the right of suffrage. We may, therefore,
congratulate the country upon the prospect of
speedy settlement OF all our difficulties upon
principles comfortable to the Constitution and
in harmony with our republican form of gov.
eminent That such will be its effect no sound
lawyer entertains doubt, nor is it to be pre-
sumed that it will be seriously denied BY any
considerable number of respectable men Of the
Radical party in or out of Congress. Nat Int.

Mr.. ETHERIDGE, according to appoint
meut, addressed a large assembly, com
posed of white and colored voters, at this
place on last Friday His speech was just
such an one as he alone can make and that
we nor any one else can describe. It had
exactly the effect desired. 1t set the peo-
pie to thinking, and there a are great many
more Etheridge men in Giles county to-day
than there were a week ago. We only
wish the election could be put off for a
month or two, that he might be able to can
vass the whole State more thoroughly, for
we feel sure that the people cannot listen
to him without being convinced.
Col COOPER followed Mr. ErHERIDGE
with one of his convincing addresses, re-
plete with argument, oratory and facts,
and public speaker was never listened to
with more marked attention than was Mr..
Cooper. The intelligent colored people
present. of whom there was goodly num-
Der, seemed very much pleased with his
speech, and if the countenances and OK
pressions of those present is any indioa-
ton, old Jim Mullins lost votes here on
that day.
After Mr. COOPER had concluded, ELIAS
Polk, the distinguished colored conserva-
tive orator, was loudly called for, and sur
prised the audience with his bold decIara-
tons and logical argument in a speech of
about an hours length His speech was
received with audible demonstrations Of
appreciation by the colored people. Polk
is decidedly the most intelligent and elo-
quent colored orator that we have heard.
The crowd dispersed at night in good
order, and we didn't see drunken or dis
orderly man during the day. Mayor BAL
LENTINE very considerably went around
early in the morning and requested the sa-
loon keepers to close up at 10 o'clock, with
which all oheerfully complied, and did not
open again until late hour in the after
noon. Everything passed off harmonious
~, and the Conservatives went home very
much elated.
