yention to-day the bill of rights was taken up.
Seven sections were adopted, including one de-
clarine Virginia q co-equal member Of the
general government, and entitled to all the
benefits and subject to all the burdens as other
States. The Judiciary Committee reported ad-
versely to scaling debts, prior TO 1866, at twsn-
ty-fiye cents on the dollar.
NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, N. c., January 1S.-Much confusion
prevailed in the convention to-day, and nothing
was accomplished. 800
There was marked disposition on the part
Of the Northern and black delegates to control
the native whi to Radicals. 10 -

the convention this morning. which, after
acknowledging tne recoipo vi teSoiutlOn ASK

formation from the treasurer that there are no
funds in the treasury at Milledgevile. have
also been reliably informed that some of the
public institutions of the State have been suf-
ferinp on account of the non-payment OF the
appropriations for their support. Whether
this failure of payment has been on account of
the want of means in the State treasury, or
for other reasons, I am not at present advised.
I shall use my best efforts to secure, without
delay, the means Of paying the incidental ex-
penses of the convention, and, at least per
centage Of the per diem and mileage of the
members. If find, on Investigation, that any
funds which should be in the State treasury
have been placed beyond my reach, l may
deem it necessary to suspend temporarily the
payment Of portion Of the current salaries OF
all officers who receive their pay from the
State treasury Or the State road. You will
nerceiye from the facts above stated that it is

redniest Of the convention, much as I desire to

The Senste's adjournment from Thursday tc

apathy Of that body is denounced. tits almost
certain that the bills changing the Supreme
Court and degrading Gen. Hancock will fail Of

MIR. Anthony's paper opposes the emasculation
of the Supreme Court, and letter from soldiers
in all parts of the country are pouring in, pro
testing against the degradation 1T Hancock
The bill mastering out General '--ancock will
probably die in the House.
MIR. Greene of the Boston Post, telegraphs to
his correspondent here that the excitement
throughout New England is intense.
Gen. Howard has written letter remonstra-
ting with the negroes, who, having been pro-
vided with homes at The North. and West, are

Kentucky and Tennessee.
The Senate wss not in session to-day. In
the House, the entire day vas devoted to set
speeches on Mr.. Stewards purchases and the
finances.
Members Of the Military Committee con-
suited General Grant previous to the recent
action adverse to reducing the army. General
Grant strongly advised against reduction.
He said that over half the army was in the un-
reconstructed States. and in Tennessee and
Kentucky. There WAS q serious lack of men
both in the South and on the frontiers. In the
Department of the Lakes barely enough men
had been left to take the proper care of the
forts.
