NEw York, January 3l.-The 1ra-
5unes Atlanta special says that the 24th
section of the Bill of Rights provides that
the social status of citizen shall never
be subject to legislati on.
The Times Atlant special says the
convention yesterday passed a resolution
limiting the speeches to twenty minutes,
with view to accelerate business. A
letter has been received from Washing
ton, to leading Radicals, expressing fears
OF an adverse decision by the Supreme
Court. Tomorrow resolutions will be
offered with the object of reducing the
pay of delegates to two dollars after the
first week in February.

No DissenfiOn.

The Cincinnati Enquirer states that
the National Democratic Committee at
Washington has made an appointment
of several worthy gentlemen to repre-
sent the Southern States in the COM
mittee meeting to be held in that city on
the 22d proximo, to fix the time and
place for the National Convention. This
action is wrong, because so premature
and unnecessary as to have no reason
able guarantee of being ratified. There
is time enough for the States South to
make their own selections. Let them do
it, and the gentlemen selected by the
committee will of course resign. There
is no reason TO distrust the good faith Of
the National Democratic Committee in
this matter, who doubtless intended we'll
But as there is time, different mode of
selection will be preferable, and bar the
possibility Of complaint from any quar-
ter. But be the manner Of arriving at

hare either by exactions or concession.
Tennessee and Mississippi have desig-
mated their men.
We see that eur contemporary OF the
Nashville Gazette objects also to the
manner of appointing the gentlemen
from Mississippi. But in this, and when
the selection has come from the State to
be represented, and with the tacit if not
the actual consent Of the people, we must
regard the objection as untimely and
captious, though doubtless intended to
produce greater and more certain har-
mony in political action. In these pre-
liminary proceedings, and where a selec-
ton has been made by recognized com
mittees. Of men to whom it would be diff
cult to find an objection, we hope there
will be no sticking for forms, but on the
contrary unanimous ratification. Our
Nashville contemporary must not rein up
those of us who arc wing recruits under
tie democratic banner too severely. We
are not much acquainted with party rules
but we will do the work Of patriots for al

New York, January 3l.-The 1r'-

that in the Florida Convention yester-
day, a resolution was offered prohibiting
the Legislature from reviving the Florida
railroad chart sr, which was referred. A
resolution was passed requiring the
State Treasurer to send in a report OF
the amount of money in his hands, and
to hold il subject to the action OF the
Convention and prohibiting any OF the
officers of the Convention from drawing
spy funds from the Treasury without
vote of the Conve ntion.
A resolution authorizing the issuing
of State scrip for the purpose OF defray'
ing the expenses of the Convention was
referred to the Finance Committee.
A resolution WAS introduced and re-
ferred prohibiting any distinction on
account of color in railroad cars, on
steamboats,, and at places OF public
amusement or instruction.

but no result was reached. The oppo-
sition openly declared its intention to

Mr.. Edmunds introduced an important
an elaborate bill, which was referred to
the Judiciary Committee, providing that
whenever the House of Representatives
shall have agreed upon articles of i'm
parchment, it shall appoint, in such
manner as it may direct, managers, not
10 exceed FIVE in number, to conduct and
maintain the impeachment; and upon
the Senate being informed by the House
that articles of impeachment against
any person shall have been agreed
upon, and managers appointed, the
Senate shall resolve itself into high
court of impeachment for proceeding
thereon. A quorum of the Senate shall
constitute a quorum of the court, which
shall continue in session from day to
day, Sundays excepted, until fiual judg-
ment shall be rendered. The Chief
Justice shall preside whenever the Presi-
dent or Vice President of the United
States shall be on trial under articles of
impeachment, bat said Chief Justice
shall have no vote in the proceedings.
Power is given for summoning and com.
polling the attendance of witnesses, and
the presiding officer of the court may, by
discretion Of the said court require the
aid and assistance of any officer or per-
son in the military, naval or civil service
of the United States to enforce
and carry into effect the orders. Any
disobedience to orders, precepts, ETC.,
etc., on the part of persons above re-
ferred to is made punishable by fine

In the Northern States there has been
not a little casing as 10 the importance
Of encouraging aud fostering Southern
interests and resources And while we
doubt no, many Northern men have the
best intentions Il would be well enough
they should know how some Of their race
are aiding US in this respect Perhaps
they will give less heed to the charge that
Northern men are ill-treated or not
highly esteemed in this quarter Some
Of them are now holding our property by
dishonest means, IL it is dishonest TO buy
for ten dollars property worth ten thou
sand, sold illegally under the bayonet,
and hold Il or else refuse to give Il up for
less than half its value. Thousands and
tens Of thousands have been taken from
our citizens in this way, by rascals who
ride in fine carriages, grow fat, and with
portly mien, lord it over us from day to
day; writing back withal to their Yankee
friends that we are very proud and stub
born rebels in not being quite able to see
angelic purity and perfect right in the
full accomplishment of their thieving
prepcnsities
Besides these cases which in great part
arose from the enforcement of direct
tax on our citizens, and which are innu'
merable, very much the same thing is
still going on under the blessings oil
negro radical rule. In proportion as the
country is impoverished by the encour-
agement given to idleness in tbelaboring
population, and as in consequence, also,
thefts and crime increase and abound
more and more, the business Of agricul-
.ture becomes more and more unproht-
able and hopeless And IN such con-
dition Of things lands are daily depre-
ciating in price, and in many quarters
becoming almost or wholly unsaleable.
Thus the scamp, without honor or con-
science can buy at his own price, and
does so of course. We hear of men offer
ing lands worth before the war twenty
dollars per acre for one, and even less.
Then comes in our dear friend Of God
and humanity and gobbles it up. Very
many instances of the kind have
occurred and are occurring. We hear
of one of the best improved farms
in the country, worth intrinsically
fifty thousand dollars selling for one
thousand dollars to one of these gentry.
And the New York Day Book thus re-
lates some other instances, of which in
formation has been received. Thus I'm
Liberty county, Georgia, a well known
gentleman having died, the estate had
to be settled. The property was adver-
tised, as required by law, and sold on
the last court day; a handsome residence,
four acres, outhouses, and all the append
ages of frstclass planters residence
were sold for sixty dollars The pur-
chaser ioas the agent of the negro bu-
Yeou. A plantation Of $50 acres of prime
land sold for one hundred and fifty
dollars. Sixiy-six acres near Walton
vile sold for three dollars. These were
bona fde sales, and for cash down. The
poor Southerners had no cash, and were
obliged to stand by and see the valuable
properties pass into the hands of North
ern spectators. And yet, the South are
abused for not welcoming these disin-
terested strangers to their homes and
fresides."
