EXTRA SESSION.
The Portland daily press., 1868-02-01

TIE ALABAMA ELECTION takes place on
Tuesday and the three succeeding doys Of next
week. 1t Is of momentous importance, though
the result is hardly doubtful. Besides voting
on the ratification of the new constitution,
State officers, members of Congress and of the
Legislature are to be chosen. If the Reoubli-
cans are successful it is probable that Con-
gress viii regard it as unnecessary to amend
the reconstruction acts. The efficiency of the
present law will be clearly demonstrated by
the restoration of Alabama to its normal re-
lations with the Union. The Senators and
Representatives from that State will no doubt
be admitted to Congress as soon as elected
under the new constitution. The preliminary
steps to be taken before this contamination,
are the ratification of the constitution by the
people, its transmission to and approval by
Congress, and the passage of the 14th consti-
tutional amendment by the State legislature.
The approval by Congress of the constitution
is foregone conclusion. 1t has been for
long time before the country, and it's proyis-
ions are thoroughly understood. Practically
it does not add to the number of persons dis
franchising under existing United States laws.
The Conservatives of the State would have
but small chance of defeating the constitution
ifthey shoald vote. But they have concluded
not to go to the polls, hoping that by taking
that course they may prevent a total vote
equal to a majority of all the registered voters
and SO accomplish their object indirectly
Gen. Swayne, late military commander of the
& State, has Just arrived in Washington, and
predicts that the Conservatives will be defeat
ed whether they adopt an active or passiye
policy. The registration of Alabama shoue
1880 whites and 90,350 blacks. On the ques-
ton OF calling convention the vote was co.
23S in favor and 1928 opposed. The aggregate
vote ofthe State in the Presidential election of
1860 was 9O,357. l. 4enu.s .sI tv

THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE on MOVING Ice
At ST. Louis, on Thursday, about four O'Clock
in the afternoon while 200 or 800 people, men,
women and children, mainly passengers by the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, were crossing
the river on foot, the ice suddenly broke loose
from each shore and f1oated down the stream.
Great CONSERVATION was Immediately created
ann the people ran hither and thither in terri
BILE fright. They could not get off at either
shore as the ice had left the river banks and a
broad open space of water intervened between
them and the land. 1t seemed as though there
would be terrible loss OF life, and thousands
of citizens gathered on the levee and watched
the scene with intense excitement. Luckily
the immense field of ice did not break, and az
ter floating the distance of a couple of blocks
it struck a steamboat connected with the shore
and all safely landed .F aF i--

During the last ten years, in the winter sea-
son, according TO our daily record. we have
noticed the manner in which 1000 who called
for work have opened, shut-or not shut our
door; this, you may say, is a futile and useless
undertaking.; but we entertain very different
opinion. What are the facts, and THAT the de-
ducions?
First, out of 1000 persons recorded, 325 OPEN
ed the door and shut it carefully when they
came in and when they went out, without
much noise. .-.-.-.-
Secondly, 226 opened itin a hurry, and made
au attempt to shut it, bnt did not, and nearly
pulled it to when they went out.
Thirdly, 800 did not attempt TO shut it at all,
either on coming in or going out.
Fourshly, 96 leftit open when they came in,
but when reminded OF the fact made ample
apology, and shut it when they went out. =

L The first class of 1885, were those who knew
their trade, and commenced and finished their
work in a methodical manner, were quiet, had
but little to say in their working hours. and
were well approved of by those for whom they
did the work. They We're punctual to time

8 HE FERRILL CAsE.-The opinion Of the
court granting new trial to Luther J. Verriu.
fconyicied last July of the murder of Mrs. Sus.
annah Kingsley, has been published. The new
evidence in the case is chiefly the confession of
the negro, Harris, that be committed the muir
der alone. As Yerrill was convicted mainly
on the negro's testimony, the presumption
when that testimony was retracted was in
favor Of the prisoner. Judge Walton declared
in his Charge to the jury in July, that the facts
alone Independent Of the negro's testimony,
were Of very weak and inconcusiye charac-
ter, scarcely sufficient to create a welEfounded
suspicion" furthermore the most important
confederation Of Harris testimony was the
evidence Of two witnesses, Berry and Hill,
who swore that they saw man going in the
direction where Harris says verrill was going,
at the time he would have been likely to meet
Harris, according to Harris story. The man
whom these witnessns saw has been discoy-
cred since the trial, and makes affidavit that
he was on the road near that place at the time
mentioned. The court regard S this evidence
as fully justifying the motion for new trial
and also justifying the Attorney General in
abandoning the prosecution.
