II is only o-day that we read an editorial in

State Constable for that county attempted TO
arrest the murder ers, he was met by band of
mounted men armed with 16- shooting rifles
who compelled him to desisG. On September
20, as Mr.. James Martin, a white member OF
the Legislature from Abbeyville county, was on
his way home. he was followed from the Court

of his home was by them deliberately murdered
irofiensive man. and there could have been no
other provocation TO the murder Than the mere
fact tnat he was a Republican member of
the Legislature. The same letter reports
the murder of two colored men in the same
neighborhood, who were found shot in several
places and with their throats cut from ear to
ear. The villains who commit these crimes
openly defy the State government to punish
them, and the Government is powerless to do
anything in tine premises. l write from the

another gentleman, who said that all the
(Dem ocralicl clubs should secure some of these
arms. Mr.. Perry added that when in New
York he heard General Forrest say that he
could at any moment call out sixty Thousand
armed men In Tennessee. Nothing but the
presence of United States troops will preserve
the upper counties of this State from being the
scene of terrible violence and bloodshed. In

poor in Sweden. A resolution pro-

Treasury for per diem, and to recon-
mend Congress to donatejpublic lands

opportunity to- demonstrate any capa-

RICHMOND. January 14.-The Con-
vention to-day adopted Constitution
declaring that Virginia shall forever
remain in the un;ca, and piedging
her to resist all efforts to break it up.
An article was also adopted, that
slavery in the State is forever abo-
lished. A resolution from the Re-
publican side, inviting Gen. Butler
to address Convention was adopted.
Another from the Conservative side.
inviting Gen. Wise, was offered. At
this point, n Republican moved to
reconsider the vote inviting Butler:
and pending the discussion, and amid
motions to adjourn, Butler entered
the door, and shortly after the Con-
servatiYe members left the hall in n
body, with one or two Republicans
who had opposed the invitation.
Butler, in his speech, said there
should be as few changes in the Con-
stitution as possible; as few disfrnn-
chised and as few test oaths. With
reference to disfranchisement, he
thought it should apply to controlling
officers of corporations and cities
The Legislature to have power to re-
move these disabilities upon proof of
loyalty. The tax for education sh hould
be laid on persons, and other taxes
should be borne by property and per-
SONS alike. He said if the Convention
would be diligent, they could get
through their work soon. Suffrage
could not be taken from man after
it has been granted, but the Legisla-
ture might hereafter, rs an incentive
to education, confer it only upon
those who could read and write. The
Convention then voted thanks to
Butler and adjourned.
