THE REcoNsTRUeToN CONVENTION.

=
JACKSON, Jan. 22.-In. the Constitutional
Convention to-day the rules were suspended
to receive the report Of the committee an
pointed to confer with the General command
ing to request him to suspend the collection Of
the taxes for 1867, from all persons not allowed
representation. The committee on the me-
mortal to Congress, requesting the removal of
State officers, made a majority report, recitne
that the loyal people Of Mississippi require I'M
mediate relief from Congress to remove the
instructions impeding the action of their rep
resentatives in Convention assembled; that
the State Government is administered by reb.
els, not merely in name bat la heart head
policy, and indeed, that the great mass of tie
Southern people manifest absolute, unmistak-
able hostility TO reconstruction; that the faith
full Union men and loyalists have met pro.
scription with calm defiance and an unfalter-
ing devotion to the country to liberty, and to
the Union, and now rebel sentiments have
eliminated on the floor of tins Convention in
a members report TO this body ayerring that
the Convention is an unauthorized assembly
called by an unconstitutional law of Congress,
and has therefore no legal or binding power id
the S tate OF Mississippi In compelling 7obedi-'
ence to its ordinances The officials admins
tering the provisional government of the State
whose terms OF Office have expired, but who
have been continued in office by the forbear-
ance of Congress, have neglected to protect
the lie and property of loyal men; have used
and will continue to use their power TO pre-
vent tne CROWN ol iOydily anu tue resLOratloil
of peace and order. At least their action or
non-action may result greatly to the embaI-
rassnlent of the Convention in the work of re-
construction. Wherefore, In the aame a2d
behalf Of the loyal people OF Mississippi In
the name Of justice, liberty and humanity, we
most earnestly and respectfully petition your
honorable bodies to authorize this Conveu-
ton to declare the civil offices of the State va
cant and to I'LL them at once by tho appoint
ment of true loyal men, who, we believe, will
greatly contribute to the success OF the Con
gressienal plan OF reconstruction.
A minority of the same committee reported
that as Congress had confided the State affairs
to the military commander of the district, and
as the bill now pending before Congress in all
probability will soon pass, giving Gen. Grant
supervision over all the military districts, thus
securing a more just and efficient government
IN tins and all other Southern States. aud as
Congress recently defeated the resolution to
saca,e such offices and to empower the Con
vehtiohs to I'LL them, and as probably the
speeay caaiise nom military to civil govern
ment VIII be established by the vote of the
people, thereiore 1t Is deemed inexpedient to

AUGUSTA, JAN %. I'm the House, Yesterday,
the Judiciary Committee reported. through
Mr.. Hale of Ellsworth, that the OonstabuIary
law ought u be repealed. The question to-day
was on the final passage of the act. Mr..
Hale, Republican, of Ellsworth, made an elo-
quent speech in favor of repeal He showed
that it was exceedingly unpopular, entirely
useless, and that its repeal was demanded by
majority of the earnest temperance men of the
State. Messrs. Hubbard and Bradbury, DEM
ocrats, urged the Importance of delay, and Civ
ing the subject all that calm deliberation to
which SO grave a natter was entitled This
kind OF procedure was opposed by Alessrs.
Hale and Porter, Republicans, who succeeded
in showing the inconsistency of those leaders
OF the democracy, by the previous records OF
the House where they had decla red themselves
IN favor OF the most rapid legislation by sus.
pension OF the rules and otherwise, to repeal
forthwith what they had heretofore declared
so obnoxious The debate had become inter
esting aud exciting, and Mr.. Hubbard had re-
qnested the ling OF the records that he
might find his true latitude when the voice of
Fessenden was heard a motion ito adjourn"

wards late dinner, pleasantly discussing the

seem to exercise the feelings of the Republic

TRENTON, Jan. 23-Ata convention of prom

dress and resolution set5ing forth the blighting
influence on the State of the monopoly of the
Camden and Amboy Railroad were adopted.
The resolutions say That the State has lost
millions of dollars ia revenue and value by
the non existence Of a tree railroad system:
that a million acres of lands now lying waste
within our borders would be speedily occupied
by thrifty population were the barriers inter
posed by the monopoly removed; that the
power to regulate inter-commnnication is con-
ierred exclusively upon the federal govern
ment, and that consequently no State can com
stltHtionally impose-any tax other burdp n
upon the tree transit OF passengers or mer-
