law, excepting property to the amount OF @25o0
from levy or seizure. III was reietfeu 10 the

ADDRESS OF GOV. ORR 10 THE CONVENTION
GOV. Orr addressed the Convention tonight
tor over an hour. He recommends first, that
suffrage be restricted by a property or ed
ucational qualification. Second, that the Con-
vention remove the disabilities from all white
men dsPanchised. Third that education be
provided for all, and that poll tax rather than
tax upon property be levied for this purpose.
Fourth, that the diSabiltiss be removed from
the Judicial officers Of the State, and that they
be Continued in Office. Fifth, that proper
homestead law be enacted-say fifty or one
hundred acres of land in the country and a
house aud lot in wn--these not TO be liable 10
attachment for old debis. Sixth, that the Con-
ton pass an ordinance afiording relief to debt
ors in general, inasmuch as the military stay
law applied only TO debts incurred during the
war. Seventh, he recommends tie repudia-
ton of all eh cations incurred in the purchase
OF slaves and the addition OF imprisonment
.or debt. Eighth, he said the treasury is emp
ty, but urged the passage Of an ordinance rec

THE REcoNsrRUCTIoN CONVENTION.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. i8.2In the convention
to-day Mr.. Cromwell said he was opposed to
any steps looking toward the speedy compile
ton of the business OF the convention and per-
manent adjournment until the question of
funds had been definitely settled,
A communication was received from Gen.
Hancock, stating that having received intor-
NATION from Gen. Sheridan to the effect that
he had intended to pay the Commissioners of
Eection for delegates to the convention, Gen
Hancock has ordered their payment out of the
reconstruction fund a4N2t4S LsHh sHl4i. .
communication was received from Gen.
Hancock 10 the committee appointed to confer
with him, relative to the collection of the tax
levied by the convention. Gen. Hancock says
that by the ordinance leyying the tax, the con-
veution has prescribed Its mode Of collection.
That ordinance makes it the duty of the Audi
tor to direct the. sheriff and collectors to en-
force payment should any such persons forci-
bly, resist it. The Major General commanding
will probably use military power to retain the
supremacy of the law to this extent. He.has
altholity. TO act, but it is not his province TO
interfere IN the matter any other way. t,si
