The state Constitutional Conven.ion.


The State Constitutional Convention has
finally adjourned until after the November
election, and the members have returned to
their homes. For this, az for the whole work
of the Convention since its organization, the
republican majority are alono responsible.
attendance Of n quorum, to push through all
the necessary work to completion, and to sub
nit to the people such amendments to the
organic law Of the State rs they might deem
desirable II the whole Of the democratic
members had absented themselves from their
seats from the first day of the Convention the
republicans if faithful in their attendance.
could have completed their work in time for
the next general election.
There is no possibility, therefore, for the
party of the majority to evade the RESPONSE
bility for the disgraceful failure of the Conven-
ton, and that failure can be attributed only to
one OF two suses-incompetency or dishonesty.
Either the republican members were made
quate to the task Of framing revised consti-
tuition, or they were unwilling to burden
themselves at this time with the issue Of negro
suffrage, which is 10 form the leading feature of
their new organic law
To the republican party In Congress the
country owes the reconstruction laws, which
are 80 framed as to nullify the amendment to
the constitution Of the United States upon
which the elections of last fail were fought, and
to secure negro supremacy at the South by
disfranchising large number Of the white
citizens and enfranchising all the blacks, rebel
and loyal, without distinction; and yet we find
this same party, SO willing to force the rule Of
the negro upon the South, fearful Of submit
ting their iavorite doctrine OF negro suffrage to
the people of their own State. 1t was to avoid
this issue before the people in November that
the Convention WAS adjourned over with its
work unfinished, and the action of the majority
shows the utter Generalization OF their party
and foreshadows the overthrow that awaits
them in the approaching fall election.

Our sou,beru Corre.poudence.

The contest between black and white in
the South is growing warmer every day. In
Virginia the convention soon to assemble will
make negro supremacy one of its vital topics
of discussion, and it is hoped that the strong
conservative element will be able to carry the
day and still preserve the State from complete
wreck by the radicals. If Virginia is awaken
ing to the necessities of the hour, North Caro-
lima is not less alive to the fact that she is
threatened with negro rule. The conservative
element there has already taken the prelimi-
nary steps for State Convention to be held on
or about the 10th of October next Following
in line comes South Carolina, which, though
the most radical pro-slavery State during the
war, has the good sense to accept the results
of the contest and trim her political sails for the
new course. The only trouble reported from
there is what naturally occurs under the new
order of things, and is, as elsewhere, between
black and white.
In Tennessee the old trouble between rebel
and Unionist still continues. The horrible out
RACES perpetrated on the Union people Of this
State during our war were SO fearful that even
now the hatreds which were thus engendered
have not died out From time to time blood
still flows, and now the murder of q Union
man, now that of q former rebel, tells to what
fierce extreme the passions may be carried in
a civil war. On both sides the accounts are
much exaggerated, and it is to be deprecated
that both radical and conservative will still, by
false reports, stir up the passions which should
by every means possible be allayed.
From Mississippi we have the meeting Of the
radical convention at Jackson About one
fourth Of the convention were blacks. One
half the counties of the State, more or less,
were represented The organization was most
ludicrous, and the election of presiding officers
resulted in such an admixture of white and
black as might have suited the most radical Of
all the radicals. Color ran up or down in all
gradations. from a stove polish to pumpkin
and-mlk tint II was decided, too, that all
committees should be half blick. The plat
form adopted was fully up to the times. 1t en-
dorsed Congress and its acts, and under
took to educate every black and white child in
Mississippi. Certainly magnificent under
taking.
Texas, the least damaged Of all the Southern
States by the war, appears to be making
vigorous efforts at improvement, and rapid
gr Owth indicates that she will soon be the
most important and powerful of our subdi-
visions lying upon the Gulf Her population
is, however, Of all the South, the most indis-
posed to accept the results Of the war; and
there are too many indications that the strong
est feeling against union is to be found in
Texas. Here, as elsewhere in our latc rebel
territory, there is q terrible revulsion of feel
ing against negro supremacy, and the white
population are willing TO undergo any trial
and make every effort in defence against the
evils which threaten.

A modern PoliIlcal Parable.

There were once two young men,
dwelling in the same country, who
were about to commence career in
life. They were neis hbors-indeed,
they lived IN the same house. One OF
them was rich, straight, strong, hand
some, intellectual, well-schooled, and
trained in all the knowledge necessary
for success. The other was poor,
cripple, weak, homely, dull, ignorant,
aud unrestrained in everything except
severe toll. As they were about 10 com
mence the world for themselves, the ru-
Ter ofthat land decreed that they should
luke "A fair and even start, and the
one who succeeded best should receive
the honor due his success. But
the rich, strong, handsome. intellectual
and well trained young man objected
to giving the poor, ignorant cripple
fair start with himself, or allowing Inc
poor cripple TO compete with him at all.
Having all the advantages OF wealth,
beauty, strength and schooling, and
claiming to be the superior beyond
doubt, he was afraid TO compete with
his inferior upon equal terms, and
Threatened violence if The poor cripple
was allowed an equal chance in the
struggle. He demanded that law
should be passed which would not al

could. Because the ruler of the land
would not pass such u law, he threaten

evil. Is anybody in doubt as to the

Mr. DICKENS REApINGs.-The re-
port which came from Boston that Mr..
Dickens was to give his readings in
Dodworth Hall, WAS of course errone-
Gus. Mr.. Dolby, Mr.. Dickens agent,
engaged Steinway Hall in August last,
and all the readings in New York will
be given there. The first reading will
be given on the evening of Monday,
December 9, and the selections are the
"Christmas Carol" and the Trial,
from "Pickwick." The price of tick
cts is fixed at 81 80 for admission, and
81 for secured seats. The first season
will consist of eight nights. Mr.. Dick
ens will leave Liverpool in the steamer
Cuba, on the 9Th OF November, aud
probably arrive in Boston on the 23d.
His first readings Will take place at the
fremont Temple in that city. Only
eighty readings will be given in the
United States, as Mr.. Dickens must re-
turn to England in May next.-N. Y.

STORMY SABBATHs.-Under this head
ing Rev. Theodore i. Cuyler makes an
appeal in the New York Independent
to the large class of church goers, who
may be styled fair weather Christians.
He urges that church going is duty
that should never be postponed on ac-
count of the weather. and says that
since 1t is practically impossible TO get
our congregations all out to their own
churches on stormy Sabbaths, he has
often felt Inclined TO make this sugges-
ton "Let every one go to The nearest
church. For example, let all who live
hear DIR. Tying. And let those OF DR..
rs congregation who live near
DIR. Adams church, or DIR. Thompson's
tabernacle, worship with their breth-
rem of those churches. It will do the
Baptist or Methodist on Stuyvesant
Square solid good TO hear the elo-
quent Tying, and 1t will do his Episco-
palians equal good to worship with
their Presbyterian or Congregational
neighbors, even if they use no venera-
BILE litugy. Three benefits would arise
from this arrangement:
First-Every pastor would have
large audience, even on the dreariest
days.
.Seeond-People would have an op-
portnnity TO hear other preachers be-
sides their own.
Third-The edge of sectarian preju-
dice would be taken off, and spirit of
Christian harmony would be engen-
dered among different denominations.
For there is many man who would
lose his narrow prejudice orsecret hos
Lility to another denomination the mo-
ment he began to Worship God in their
company, and hear the blessed Gospel
from the lips OF their minister. We
recommend this suggestion for prac-
teal trial on the first stormy Sabbath.
1t would save our churches from the
disgrace that now belongs to them
whenever the weather interferes with
their comfort or the lustre of their Sun
day silks and satins.
