ResoyUsG. That the delegates from Shelby
county 90 the constitutional Convention be
and they are hereby instructed 10 vote IN SAID
convention 70 submit the question OF negro
suffrage 10 the vote Ofthe people OF the State,
il being submitted as an independent prOpo-
sitiOn, separate and apart nom all other ques-
uOus.
For the avOwed purpose Of compro-
mise and Cancellation, the above reso-
luton was offered and adopted by the
County Convention Of Saturday last.
As a delegate we accepted it at the
time in the spirit in which it was Of
fered and voted for by the Convention.
From that moment we neither sought
to impose on the Convention u own
views Of a disputed issue, nor were
willing that any other gentleman
should impose his. We were not
afraid to trust the people, and pre-
ferred, as the only conclusive means
Of coming to a final and satisfactory
result, that the resolution should be
both adopted and carried into effect.
When no man was longer to be asked
his opinion relative to the issue in
volved, good faith required that no
negro suffrage or ant-negrO suffrage
man should be presented or voted for
as such, and because Of %favOritism on
that account one way or the other.
The gentlemen selected by the Con-
ventiOn, by a unanimous voice in the
final vote, are now accordingly the
nominees, without a question being
asked Of either of them. They viii act
on their own Judgment, wisely and
well we have not a doubt. No Cic-
tory has been gained ia this matter
5y aRy party or any men, and it Is
especially wrong that any should be
pretended. There UGs a victory OBJ
tanned, and a great one. 1t was that
Of unity and harmOHy-the triumph
Of true Conservatism and patriotism,
where ~partisanism! was undesirable,
and where time was wanted for the
sway Of reason over passion, and for
deliberate investigation of question
for statesmen alone. We would not
have "White mans government as
a partisan triumph, liable to be re-
versed or lost by the same
means in another election. The great
right viii be determined on calm re-
Election, after full discussion, and on
matured Judgment, or it is not worth
securing at all. Let Lot one party
boast Of victory over the other, when
a common patriotism has produced
unity Of action for a common benefit,
lest that unity itself should be des-
troyed, and all the advantage Of con-
cert Of action be lost with it. We
may make liberal treaties, and yield
advantages to antagonists, rather
than 20 to war, when it can be
avoided without dishonor. But when
the treaties are once made and rati-
fed, We do not wish to hear shouts Of
victory, over what has been volunta-
rily, and we hope wisely, as well as
periodically conceded.

MERCHANTS and property holders

hope, soon be adjusted, and, at an
early day, the road viii be finished

those Of Northeastern Texas, demand
the immediate completion Of the road

GIDEON, the author of the +" Decline

that after the assassination Of PERTH
max. Clodius Albbtus, Governor Of
Britain. PeseenDius Niger, of Syria,
and Septimus Severus, a native OF
Africa, declared agaiEss the murderers
of that Emperor; and adds, IN a note,
that "a verse in every ones mouth at
that time seems TO express the general
opinion Of the three rivals, 'OptimUs

the Constitution of the United States
should be adopted, and Cuba be an

alteration, may soon be repeated by

TIE second session Of the Forty
first Congress viii commence to-day,
December 9th, but it's believed that no
legislation Of any importance will be
effected until after the middle Of Jan
uary. The only business that will be
done before the Christmas holidays,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, will be
the introduction Of important bills,
such as Senator Sherman's Funding
bill. A report viii be made on the
Paraguayan difficulties, and the Cen
j Committee VIII present a report,
and a bill organizing the Census Blu
reau for 1870. The Election Commit
tee win also submit Its report relative
TO the Southern elections, and several
contested seats from the Northern
States; and the Ways and Means
Committee viii present a statement
Of its observations relative to the
commercial condition Of the country,
derived from its Investigations in diff
fereut sections.

THE Fenians in Ireland are again
agitating. In Clonmel, in the some
what noted county of Tipperary, and
in the cities Of Cork and Dublin, de-
monstr8tions have taken place that
excite the fears Of the British govern
ment. There is but one solution Of
the Irish difficulty, and until it IS
avaied OF, we may expect that /" agi-
tations" and disorders viii be chronic
in the Z" Green Isle" An Irish Par
lament, encouragement Of local in
dustries and protection for the farmer
and peasant against the rapaeity Of
absentee, spendthrift landlords, is
what is wanted to secure peace for
Ireland. The curse Of q State Church
removed, the Irish ought to have the
right Of seIf-government. That grant
ed, all else viii follow.

A GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING sWINDLE

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune thus reveals how Honest John
w. Forney and others, in the newspaper line
have been defrauding the Government, and
how Stanton and Gen. SchOfeld as Secretary
of War, each lent their sanction to the swim
die He says:
Secretary RaWiins is about to adopt new
system regarding the advertising of the War
Department. He has discovered, since he has
had charge Of the War Office, that there has
been the most fragrant abuse of the law on the
subject of the distribution of the advertising
patronage of the Department. The number of
newspapers receiving those advertisements is
very large and the amount expended enormous.
There is now pending settlement in the De-
partment a claim from the proprietors of Tie
M0fNiNg Chronicle of this city for over $50
600, claimed TO be due them for printing adger-
tlsementS. The pr0piictors of this paper in
sist that they have legal right TO print every
advertisement issued by the War Department,
or any person connected with the army in this
way: They clip War Department advertise
ments that appear III any OF the papers printed
throughout the country and insert them in their
newspaper and claim pay therefor. For in
stance, il Il post-Commandaut i'll Texas, or in
Washington Territory, should advertise in Il
local paper 4 sale Of condemned mules or old
lumber, or proposals for beef and hay. they
would fake the same from the local paper pub
IiSh it in Thc CdroHicic, and charge regular ad-
ycrlsrmcut rates to the Government This is
in direct violation Of an Act of Congress at its
last session, and previous similar claims have
been 50 declared. Heretofore there has been
way Of eyaling the law by having the Sccrr-
t4gy ii War issue special orders for the pay
mrnt Of such Claims bat in he present case
Secretary HaWinS refuses to grant such an or
der and says hc is determined To break up tie
sW.4llr, aud by his proposed new :! stem Of
advertising save thousands Of dollars annually
to The Government.
