The Reconstruotion Conventions

CHARLESTON, January 30.-The
Convention to-day elected the police
sent by order Of the post commander
to preserve order, and appointed
committee to wait on Gen. Clitz and
ascertain the cause of his action.
The discussion concerning contracts
based on slaves wns postponed. An
ordinance securing the per diem at
$l1, in State currency, was adopted.
Gen. Candy has instructed the Trea-
surer of the State to forward funds.
Several propositions were introduced,
)petitioning Congress to loan from one
to three millions to the State, for the
relief OF the people. and to enable
the planters, to recupsrate and pay
cash wages. A proposition was also
introduced to cut lands offered for
sale into small tracts, permitting the
poor to purchase on credit from the
State. ,7
ATLANTA, January 3O.-In the Con-
vention, resolution was introduced,
asking Congress to loan the destitute
planters of the South $50. 100000 to
be secured by mortgage. Seven Sec
tions of the bill of rights were
adopted. if2' ,''
There is great activity in radical
political circles, and Country meet
ings TO nominate candidates for Go
vernon, under the new Constitution,
are being held in this section of
Georgia. There are rumors that
Gen. Meade has asked to be relieved.
RICHMOND, January 30.-The Con-
vention adopted four sections of the
Finance Committees report; one sec
ton was amended 30 as to prohibit
the payment hereafter of any part of
the State or municipal debt incurred
in aid of the rebellion. During the
adoption of this amendment the
epithets "cowardly and ungentle-
menly," were exchanged between q
conservative and republican member,
hnd the latter, when leaving the hall
3 few moments afterwards, was fol-
owed by his antagonist. Great con-
Fusion followed, with cries of ''shut
Ehe door," 'scall the sergeant-at-
srms;" and members from both sides
provided the aisle. No fight took
place outside, and the Convention
: adjourned.

How TO CURE CoLD.-The moment a
man is satisfied he has taken cold, let him. do
three things: First eat nothing, second, 90
to bed, cover up in warm room, third, drink
as much cold water as he can; and in three
cases out of four, hc will be we'll in thirty
six hours. To neglect cold for forty eight
hours after the cough commences, is to place
himself beyond cure, until the cold has run
its course, of about a fortnight. Warmth
keeps the pores Of tho skin open, and relieves
it of the surplus which Expresses it, whilo alb
stinence cuts off tho supply Of material for
phlegm which would otherwise be coughed
up. ~ rJonrnaz of Health.

THE WASHINGTON ELEcrIoN Tho "In-
telligencer" crows over the result, which, at
the worst, is a gain ofsover two thousand
votes since last year. It says:
We have carried the Councils, and proba-
bly, our Mayor, in tho faoo of tho greatest
difficulties, and over conspiracy of faction
suchas it is difficult to make understood abroad.
The Capital sends greeting and cheer to the
whole country. We have won handsomely
to-day. The signal,gun of the campaign has
been fired amidst the applause and rejoicing
Of people removed from sectional bias, who
know no North or South, no East or West
nothing but thoir whole country. We firmly
believe that this result to be the omen of still
grander victory in November, which will re-
place distrust with confidence, revive frater-
nal feeling and fellowship, and restore in har.
mony and vigor under the old flag, all parts
Of glorious Union, which Radical outrage,
oppression, and cruelty have kept purposely
dismemborcd, in order to prolong political ag.
itation by tanning the flames Of sectional
strife.
But notwithstandir- all tho network Of
fraud aud wrong, the Jaoobins stand defeat
ed.
They had tho eclat Of General Grants pres
ence here.
They had that of tho usurping and revolu.
tionary Congress.
They had with them, or sympathizing with
them, the standing army Of five or six thous
and Radical Office holders here.
They held out to the people menaces of sc
we're congressional pains and penalties should
the white people assert their honor and prin
ciplc. BY this means they paralyzcd many o
the moro timid and crodulous of our citi
zcns
But all in vain. There arc some shan, cfu

Curious DEcIsIoN.-A singular decision
is reported in Cincinnati A householder of
that city sued his tenant for dcfacing his
house. One plea of his case was that man
tel had been so injured by placing the feet
on it, that it had been found necessary to take
it down. The Judge, in his opinion, decided
that "our habits of chewing tobacco and
splitting everywhere, and putting the feet on
tables and mantcls, are NATIONAL" and there
fore nonsuited the plaintiff The Southern
reader will breathe moro freely when he finds
that he is safe from all prosecution for his
" national habits" It would be perfectly
excruciating to be liable in damages for every
little injury done by elevating the feet or
spirting tobacco juice. The Cincinnati Judge
is right when he decides that these are "na-
tional habits" and we arc delighted to know
that the pcstiferous plaintiff who attempted
to abridge our privileges was non.suited.--

drive your extract of tobacco.
