The Alabama Convention.


Probably no body Of men that ever
assembled has been made the subject of
more bitter and unsparing abuse than
the Convention now engaged; at Mont
gOmery, Alabama, in the arduous and
highly important task of remodeling
the Constitution of that State under the
reconstruction law. The whole rebel
and Copperhead press have let loose
upon it the fen is of detraction, and
has poured out torrents of abuse upon
the individual members, as if bent upon
smothering to death with caIumny the
loyal sentiment of the State. But in
the midst of all this the Convention
quietly pursues its work with a firm
dignity which is worthy example to
its vilifers. The sympathies Of every
man and woman who loves justice and
loyalty should be with this body of men
who are breasting the tide of treason
and hate, and patriotically laboring to
redeem their State to loyalty and Union.
The following sketch of the Conven-
tion, by a correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, is a good offset to the
many bitterly partisan and unfriendly
criticisms that have been made of It.
1t seems to be written in the spirit Of
truth and candor:
The convention is held in the hall
usually occupied by tho Lower House
of the Legislature Of Alabama.
The delegates are one hundred in
number, and of these sixteen are freed
men. The seats having been drawn by
lot, the members are, OF course, seated
irrespective of color. AS I looked at
them I could not but reflect that I be-
held magnificent exhibition Of poetic
and retributive Justice, for these men
now occupy the place where sat but
seven years ago, the proud, defiant Con-
federate Congress, that made slavery
the keystone of their arch gof govern
meut.
As to the general aspect and bearing
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1867-11-22

I of these men, my first impression was
1 also my last. A more earnest, serious
/ aud orderly deliberative body I have
4 never seen, and this impression is con-
/ irmed by the general admission in
( Montgomery, that they are much bet
] ter looking set of men than the Ala
/ bama Legislature.
| OF the eighty-four whites, twenty
J two are Northern men, who have taken
up their residence in the State since the
war. The remainder are all old citi-
zens.
I made special inquiry as to their va
rious callings and social position, and
found that among them were:
Nine members Of former Alabama
Legislatures.
Eight present or former judges Of va
riOus courts Of the State.
Twelve lawyers.
Seven officers and sixteen nOn-cOm-
missiOued officers Of the rebel army.
Six physicians, and number of plan
ters, merchants, &c.
The President of the convention is
the Hon. Z. ". Peck, for forty years
resident of Tuscaloosa, formerly Chan
cellor Of the State, recognized as pos
sessing one Of the first legal minds in
the country, and a man of unblemish-
ed purity of character.
Among the rebel officers is Major
Semple, a lawyer by profession, and a
graduate of Cambridge Law School,
who for some time commanded the arr
dIIery in Cleburne's division, and dis
tinguish6d himself at Chickamauga.
I made the acquaintance of, and con-
versed with, some twenty members,
Judge Peck, Major Senple, Judge Mar
tin, Mayor Horton, Messrs. Safold,
Griffin, Keffer, Miller, and others, and
found them far from being nOnentities.
On yesterday Gen. Pope arrived from
Atlanta, and was invited to a seat with
in the convention. He made a short
address, strongly marked by good
sense, and indicating a high order Of
ability hear on all sides praises from
the IOyaI-and admission from the reb-
ell, as to the prudence, energy, and
moderation of his administration in
Georgia and Alabama.
Although only at their second and
third days session, with very few MEM
bers familiar with parliamentary usages
the convention dispatched business rap
idly, and appeared to understand that
their real work was to be done in COM
mittees.
If this convention is a fair index and
exponent of the conventions to be held
in the nine other Southern States, it is
riszing bat little to say that their intel
ligence, honesty and ability viii soon
silence Misrepresentation and abuee.

The Greenbaok Scheme.

The leading objection to the PROPOSE
ton to give the country an exclusively
greenback currency, retiring the Ma
tiOnal Bank notes, is the fact that it
would give permanency to that which
was never designed 20 be other than
temporary; it would indefinitely post
pone return to specie payments; it
would place absolute control of the cur
rency, the trade and business of the
country, and the prices of all cOmmod-
titles, in the hands Of a constantly
changing administration; and above
all, it would be a most powerful temp
tatiOn to government extravaganza and
corruption. Let it once become the fix
ed policy of the government to furnish
the country with its circulating paper
currency without a return to and con-
tinuance Of specie payments, and trade
and prices would no longer be govern
ed by the laws Of trade, by demand and
supply, but by the caprice Of Congress
and the Secretary of the Treasury for
the time being. AS, under the propos-
ed system, the greenback currency
would be pracii ically frredeemable, de-
signed to circulate forever except when
worn out and exchanged for new notes,
the advocates of eXtFaVagant legisla-
tion would argue that their ruinOus ap-
preparations could be met by an addi-
tiOnal issue Of greenback legal -tenders
without taxing the people, and that
thus nobody would be the poorer. 1.-THE
country needs more currency" would
be the cry of every lobby-rascal who
nad fraudulent claim to put through
Congress, and every administration that
wished to aggrandize itself by the pur-
chase of more worthless territory; tickle
the unthinking portion of the people
with light taxation, or secure the pOlit-
ical support of eX-rebels, by paying
of Southern claims for billions of prop
erty destroyed in the war. Each fresh
issue of greenbacks, each new expan-
sion of currency, would seem to cost
the country nothing beyond the eZ-
pense of printing, while with each in
tiatiou il would depreciate in value un-
til a pOcketful would not buy a break
fast. In this matter we might learn
lesson from the experience of Brazil
There the Government mOnopolized
the issue Of circulating medium,
which each successive administration
adding 10 the irredeemable and almost
worthless paper issues without even
caring to repudiate the issues Of former
administrations. This continued until
the Brazilian paper dollar was worth
five and one-half cents in gold and the
government was in fact bankrupt. I'M
der similar system our own currency
would have a similar tendency and
very likely. a similar ulti mate fate. It
would be fatal TO financial soundness
and safety in time of peace to grant
this unchecked liberty to the various
parties in power, to il ue money from
the Government printing presses for
any and every purpose which party
pride or party corruption might sug-
gest.--Saalda8hy Register.

EDUCATION OF FREED8T EN.-Gfen.
Howard, in his report of the operations
Of the Ereedmens's Bureau, mentions
some interesting facts illustrative Of
the continued eagerness of the cOiored
people for education-faets which show
that their haste to avail themselves of
the privilege Of being taught sprang
not from lOYe of novelty, as some sup
posed, but from a genuine appreciation
Of the advantages of education. The
total number Of day, night, and indus
trial schools under the supervision Of
the Bureau is 2, 2,207 with ?, ,442 teachers,
Of whom 500 are c0lOred. The number
cf scholars is 13O, ,735, showing an in
crease of 10000 since the last annual
report. The freedmen own 39I school
houses, support wholly or in part 1,056
Of the schools, and pay on an average
Sl4, $50 month for tuition. These fig
are certainly encouraging, and other
portions of Gen. HOward's report are
not less so. For example, the eXpend-
itures of the Bureau have been so much
itures of the Bureau have been so much
less than the appropriations that there
are funds enough still on hand to carry
till July, when its existence terminates
by limitation COmmissary supplies
to a limited extent have been issued to
the INDECENT, but every effort is making
to induce the civil authorities to under
take the relief Of their own poor.
