ALABAMA.

MONTGOMERY, August III. 81. Tar
bic brought into the city to day the first
bale Otpew cotton; eisssed as good mid
ding, weighed 500 pounds and sold at
auction for 424c per pound.
Quite tiutIer was caused in the Leg
islature to-day, by the Governor sending
back TO the Senate veto of the bill au-
thoTizing the Legislature to cast the cleo
tOTal vote OF the state. Gov. Smith says /:
AFTER most mature reflection l am
forced to the conclusion that the bill is
wrong in principle, and would be a dan
gerOus precedent in q Republican Gov
eminent. As my Judgment does not an
prove the bill, il is my constitutional Gu
" to return it TO the Senate, with nv
objections. Il cannot but be regarded "a
remarkable that the first Republican
Legislature convened in Alabama hall
in the face of the PRINCIPLES
of its organization, and which ev-
cry Republican processes 10 hold
dear, deny not 10 the colOred but to the
white mRu the right by his vote to jndi-
cate his choice for President and Wee
President Of the United States, and take
the matter in their own hands. What
excuse can there be for it? Is IL mere
party eXpediency? II so tits an absn.
edgement that the material Of which the
Republican party is composed cannot be
trusted-in other words the eOlored man
won't DO to trust. This action of the
General Assembly will be regarded as
still more remarkable when considered
in connection with what seems to have
been the almost unanimous action of the
leading members Of the Republican
party of Alabama. It was believed by
most OF them, and so represented at
Washington, that large m8jority of the
voting population OF this State were
in favor of the new Constitution.
This was as much as to cay that the Re-
publican party was in a large majority in
the State, for 1t is well Known that none
but Republicans voted for it-some OF
them even opposing it. II the party is
so strong IS is contended, then the necas-
sity Of party expectancy does not exist.
Even if it does exist, we would not be
justifabie in resorting TO it. AS much
as desire the election of Grant and Col
fax, l am unwilling to further that object
by sHch scheme, which practically de-
MES the very principles to which those
standard bearers stand pledged before the
country
The message gave rise to a warm dis
eussiOn, and caused much bitterness.
The debate was conducted altogether
by Radicals, there being but one Demo-
erat in the Senate.

One Of the colored members of the
House was so drunk yesterday that he
fell asleep in his chair, and after long
snore, finally awOke, gazing stupidity
around and mumbling, "Mr. Speaker,
am in favor OF Grant and Colfax." This
drunken beast is one OF Alabama's law
makers.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Coon
declared that il the franchise bill were

From the same paper We learn that
the Nashville Board OF Aldermen have
passed q bin fixing the rate of taxation

no EyFRANCuIsEuENT-No PEA,

NO ENFRANCHISEMENT- PEA CE
On the 4th instant, the House of Mis-.
representatives of Tennessee, by a vote
of fifty to twenty, adopted a resolution
declaring the present not the time to
consider the franchise question. Mr..
Hamilton, OF Shelby, had asked what
guarantee there was for future peace.
The Bulletin had in time published g
clamorous article accusing the C0nserva-
tives Of intending violence, while the
most honored and trusted Of the Con-
federate Generals, aided by rejecting
and moderate Radicals, were at Nash
vile endeavoring to prevent the adcp-
tion Of measures sure to precipitste the
State into anarchy and bloodshed.
These have proved 70 be vain and idle
efforts. No man doubted the sincerity
Of the representatives Of the Coaserva-
tive men of Tennessee; and yet a vim
dictive and besotted Legislature has
spurned the proffered olive-branch, and
insists on blood.
Since the conference, that body has
definitively refused to consider any pro-
position TO amend the franchise law, and
Mr.. Stokes, we learn, announces that it
is the unsltersb!e determination Of the
Radical leaders in Congress to continue
for life the disfrsnchisement OF every
rebel now disfrsnchised by law.
The bill providing for arming, equip
ping ssd calling into service the State
militia has passed with clause which
in advance assures every vagabond
among them Of immunity for Enything
that be may do while in the service.
This is a new Kind of letter OF marque
and reprisRl, authorizing the Safe
troops to cruise on land for purposes Of
violence and plumber. Already the ne
grOes are jubiaDt st the prospect so ill.,
willingly spread out before them, and the
feast Of fat things To which they are in
vited.
We did not know, until yesterday, that
on Saturday night, about eleven O'Clock
while a peaceful party Of some thirty
Democrats were serensding the APPEAL,
office, on Jefferson strest, q band OF ne
gro desperadoes, fresh from harancue
on the bluff by one or more of those who
iDcite them to acts of violence. marched
down Jefferson street, three hundred per
hsps in number, each man having a
bludgeon in one haud'snd pistol In the
other, and with yells and howlines forced
tine serensders to give them the way.
We refused to sign the petition OF citi-
gems of Memphis, begging the Legisla-
ture TO snfranchise sll white men. We
did not choose TO minister to the cratia-
cation of the Governors revenge and
malice by becoming q suppliant 10 him or
the Legislature, with the certainty OF an
insolent rebuff We do not look for relief
in that direction, but rely entirely on the
Democratic victory to be achieved, we
hope and believe, in November next.
The proposal to call a Convention for
the purpose Of modifying the franchise
law, was a mere trick to postpone the
matter until after the November cleo
tion. The Legislature itself hiss ample
power 70 remove ali disabilities, by a
simple enactment to that effect. But
