No. 6.
I. Whereas, The Convention of the State of

that State, adopted the following ordnance
AN ORDrJANCE TO STAY COLLECTION OF DEBTS
BE ordained by The PEOPLE Of Alabama in Con-
Uentaon assembled, That when any writ of execu-
ton, Oend2tl0n1 eTp0ndS, or other legal process,
requiring the sale of property, shall be- or has
been issued from any court of this State it ls

full force until the 1st day of January 1869 Pro-
! ylded, This ordinance shall not apply to judg-
ments IN favor OF laborers and mechanics for SER
| vices rendered since July Il, 1866.
| And whereas, the passage of this ordinance
which was intended to afford relief to debtors in
that State has, on the contrary, caused increased
distress to them by occasioning very numerous
attempts to evade it's provisions by foreign sales
under execution IN the interval between the time
! of its passage and Of it's taking effect; and
whereas, such sales, in the present unsettled con-
dltIon OF affairs IN the State Of Alabama and in
consequence of the low price of cotton result in
snch sacrifices OF property are ruinous to
debtors and of but little benefit to the creditors
and whereas, the people of that State have no
method OF enforcing their Will, as expressed in
said ordinance, until after the ratification of the
Constitution framed by said Convention which
has been submitted to them for their ratifca-
ton or rel ctlOn Oh the 4th day of February
next.
H. Therefore, by virtue of the penary powers
invested by the Reconstruction Acts Of Congress
in the ommanding General of the bird Military
District, and for The temporary relief of the people
of the state Of Alabama;
1t is ordered: That said ordinances sha i from
this date be deemed to have taken effect in said
State, and shall continue ia full force and validity
until the result of said election the ratification
of said Constitution shall have been ascertained
and published from these headquarters the force
OF this order then to cease should said Constitu-
ton be rejected. But should said Constitution
be adopted by the people, this order shall
continue in force until such Constitution shall
have been submitted to Congress for examination
and approval as provided for in said Reconstruc-
tion Acts, and until Congress shall have approved
or re iected said Constitution.
III. 1t is further directed that this order be re-
spe cted and obeyed by the several civil officers,
judicial and otherwise in the State of Alabama.

Mr. Thurlow Weed, one of the founders
of the Republican party, says in the New
York Commercial Advertiser
"For every bad act like this, impairing
the independence of the Judiciary, Con-
gress makes handwriting on more than
one WALL the reading of which will make
the knees of modern Belshazzars trem-
ble.'"
And again:
''Our regard for Mr.. Stanton is strong.
What we suggest consists with his duty and
honor. A Cabinet Minister who is either
radically opposed to the measures or per-
sonally hostile to the President, from
whom he received his confidential trust,
ought to resign. This is so plainly duty
that no argument, no sophlstry, and no
vindictive action Of Congress can pervert
or mystify it,

ton ceased just there.

Alexander II. stephens' Views Of Affairs In

Alexander II. stephens Views Of Affairs In
the South
Alexander I'll. Stephens, says q dispatch
to the New York Herald, in conversation
with friend who saw him recently in Phil
adelphia, took very despondent view of
affairs in the South. He pronounced the
future before that section Of the country
fraught with gloom and disaster, and can
see nothing in the policy of reconstruction
but the operation of fearful scheme, whose
ultimate result will be the destruction of
either the black or the white race Every
day, he says, it becomes more painfully
evident that the estrangement between the
races is Widering-on the part Of the ne
grOes from the effects of such instruction
as teaches them to distIust and oppose the
whites, and on the part of the latter from
an abhOrrence of the negro leaders, and an
instructive aversion to be ruled and legis-
lated for by ignorance and semi-barbarism
From what fell under his own observation
IN Georgia, he was unable to detect any
thing like q spirit on either side tending to
mutual sympathy of sentiment and interest.
Radical emiSsarieS from the North have
sown the seeds of evil dissension with ter
rible earnestness, and the diametric oppo-
sition Of the races now visible all over the
South must, in the very nature of things,
lead, at some time or other, to fearful col
lisions. This inevitable result, Mr.. Ste
phens declares, as a dispassionate observer,
forces itself irresistibly on his attention. A
war OF races, desired by some, and indiffer-
emily needed by others, is, to his mind, as
sure to happen, under the Radical method
of reconstruction, as it is impossible to
avoid, if the precedents of history or the
impulses that control human nature be ia
ken into account
