LONDON, October 4.-The following
particulars of the recent movements OF
Gen. Garibaldi have been received from
Italy: While in a passion at Alexandria,
Garibaldi persistentIy refused to give his
parole not to engage in any hostile enter
prise against the papal States. Mean
while the Italian government, hoping to
allay the excitement which was caused by
his arrest, gave orders for the transfer of
the prisoner to his home at Caprera, with
out insisting upon parole. The General
was accordingly taken 10 the island,
where he was apparently set at liberty.
Soon after his arrival he suddenly disap-
peared from the island, and succeeded1n
reaching the main land but his move
ments had been carefully watched, and
he was again arrested and sent back to
Caprera, where he now remains, under
guard-a prisoner in his own home.

EA- From the Radicals having failed
N secure an effective majority in the re-
cent election in Louisiana, and, proba
blv. also. in Alabama, it by no means
necessarily follows that an effort to
foreibly and fraudulently carry said
elections was not made. When it is seen
by the census of 1860 that Louisiana had
within her borders not exceeding 10000
black males above the age Of twenty-one
wears. and that her registration returns
exhibit 1856 negro voters, it quite
ceases to be matter Of surprise that the
returns of her late election do not ap'
proximate the registration figures. There
is every reason to suspect fraud and I'M
lawful procedure throughout the State,
from the opening of the registration to
the closing of the polls, and innumera-
HE facts are adducable to confirm the APP
prehensiou. The treseherous memories
of the negroes at the polls, in their ina
bility TO reeollect the names by which they
registered, is, to say the least, an intima-
ton that some Of the new sovereigns
may, possibly, have registered under
more than one name. Their failing
memories may have been overburdened
with patronymics, aud bewildered in a
cognomenous mist To recolleot his
real name we cannot think would puzzle
the brain of the most stupid and thickest
skulled of the race, while to call at will
to memory the election nom de plume
put in his mouth by the aspirant for his
ballot, Tould be quite another matter
and might, we dare say, be at
tended with greater difficulty. That
hundreds and perhaps thousands under
age were permitted to vote in both
States there is every reason for believ
ing. Little challenging, if any, was
done anywhere, aud, as white men held
themselves aloof, the purity Of the
ballotbox was a matter solely intrusted
10 those anAAUuo anu ANNPtf AAA-A N-~N@'
in seeing the vote swelled TO as large
numbers as possible. How all this must
necessarily have operated can very well
be imagined b. those who were witnesses
to the late farce of similar character
in Tennessee, which was limited in its
duration to a single day.
Truly, when these facts are considered
the inscriptions aud determined effort
to foist, by force aud fraud, an obnox-
ious form Of government upon rcsistlesH
and powerless communities Of white and
intelligent men - Conservatives in
Louisiana, Alabama, and wherever libe'

uea- Some idea of the manner in which
the courts in the Fifth Military District
are being run may be formed from the
following, which comes in the shape of
a telegraph dispatch from New Orleans
to the morning press:
Judge Abell counsel for Henry Smith,
accused of perjury, filed an exception
yesterday. The case is being tried before
assistant Recorder Dunn, of the Second
District Court. Dunn is negro, lately
elected by the new Council. Judge Abel,
in his exception, sets forth that Dunn
being a negro, not recognized by the laws
of Louisiana as a citizen, is not legally
an officer. Dunn overruled this excep-
ton, tried the case, and discharged the
prisoner. The prosecuting witness re-
fused to take the stand or be sworn.
The negro acting Recorder asked him if
he intended to insult the court. He
replied he did, and was fined $25.

code which may give all white men
equal rights.
For the better information OF the an'
thor Of this bit of fallacy, and others who
may, with him, be perplexed with doubt
upon the subject, we reproduce so much
of the organic law of Tennessee as
touches the authority OF the people, in
dependent of the Legislature, to call a
convention, and in that convention
modify, change, amend or abolish their
form % government, as their judgments
may dictate. Article one, section one
of the Declaration of Rights reads;
That all power is inherent in the peo;,
pie, and all free governments are founded
on their authority, and instituted for
their peace, safety and happiness; Tor
the advancement of these ends they have,
AT all times, an inalienable and indie
feasible right to alter, reform, or abolish
the government in SUCH manner as they
may think proper.
The eleventh article and twelfth Sec
ton of the Constitution further says
The declaration of rights hereto pre-
fixed is declared to be part OF the Con-
stitution of this State, and shall never be
violated on any pretense whatever. And
to guard against transgression OF me
high powers we have delegated, we
declare that everything in the bill OF
rights contained is excepted out OF the
general powers of government, and shall
forever remain inyiolate.
We might pause here, as no comment
or calculation could possibly render
more clear or unmistakable the purport
and spirit of the law clothed in the
language quoted. We believe we have
discovered, however, the basis on which
the Commercials correspondent and
others with him have rested an impress
sion of the necessity of the assent
of the Legislature in the calling
of convention to reshape or reform
the organic law. Article eleven,
and section three of the Constitu.
ton, provides that "Any amendment,
or amendments to this Constitution may
be proposed in the Senate or House of
representatives, and such amendments
being proposed, it further provides how
and under what forms they shall be
made. But how this provision can in
any manner affect the right of the people
ii all times to alter, reform or abolish
he Government, we cannot discover
my where in the context The right of
he Legislature as expressed in the pro-
Vision, that they may propose, etc, is
imply sub modo and permissive, while
hat Of the people on the other hand is,
" the very language of the section, alb.
olUte, and indefeasible. After having
pointed out these clauses in the instru-
nent, we feel assured doubt can no
onger exist in the mind Of any one as
o the right of the people to call con-
'ention and therein modify the organic
aw of Tennessee, so as to ;" give all
White men equal rights and that too
without the assent of the Legislature.
We again suggest the calling of such
believing mo constitutional
bstacle or hindrance exists to its assem-
ling, and that it would not only not be
evolutionary, but in strictest conformity
o organic law and to the cardinal prin-
iples upon which the Government is
,ased.
