The Convention.

The Legislature has now under con-
sideration bill. authorizing conven-
ton of the PEOPLE, with indications
that it will be passed. The selection of
men to compose the convention should
be done with more wisdom than the
selection of men to fill the highest Of
fees in the land. The delegates to the
convention will be exposed to two
fold danger, the two extremes of which
moderation is the happy medium.
There is mu IN TO do, which will require
considerable courage to perform, and
and there is a point i'm the needed icon-
oclasm, at which it will require the
highest wisdom and prudence to stop.
In the ordinary duty of making new
laws for State, it is not serious mat
ter if Legislature is composed of men
of very strong prejudices, as the sue
ceeding body can annul all pernicious
legislation; but it is far different with
the action of a convention metto frame
a constitution for a State, which will
be likely to last for generations. 1t is
highly essential, then, that the men
whom We shall send to this convention
shall be prudent and wise; men whose
wisdom will be stronger than their
prejudices. In our county we have
many such men, but none whom we
conceive to be more alive with the
spirit of the age in which we live, and
the demands of The occasion, than our
fellow-citizen, F. c. HUNTINGTON, Esq.

Will They Resign ?

EDITOR COLUMBIA HERALD Now
that the dark cloud of our oppression
has been swept away by the returning
sunlight of emancipation, from its
CALLING chains, is it not meet that we
prepare for the full fruition of our new
found immunities?
The Legislature is rapidly proceed
ing to undo all of the evil doings OF
their unlettered and traitorous pre-
decessors. Bill after bill is being in
troduced, and fast becoming laws, to
repeal their atrocious and ubiquitous
measures. The odious illegal notice"
law and test oath, fare rapidly being
dropped from the statute book. But
there are some things the legislature
cannot do at very early day, without
the assistance of some office holders.
Many officers were elected under the
old regime, who still hold a long lease
on their present positions.
1t is impossible for these gentlemen
to know whether they reflect the will
of the people or not without another
election. When they were elected,
nearly all the voters were negroes,
scalawags, and imported paupers. AS
the case stands now, they are the
of this loathsome, feet
id and abandoned class. We think
that many of officers are clever
gentlemen, and might be elected again
before the people. But this time they
were not elected by the people, and
do not therefore represent their wishes.
OF this class are the Hon. A. NJ.
Hughes and Hon. John G. Walker,
circ i and cl.ancery judges of this dis
tgicf. We open this correspondence to
call the attention of these gentlemen
to this fact, feeling assured that they
will be more than willing to resign
their places at once, and suffer an cleo
ton to be held by the people. We
would like to hear from these gentle
men. Will you give this an insertion?
Will not our fellow citizens from the
adjoining counties let us hear from
them?

embracing in addition to all the fundamental
branches, the higher Mathematics, the Physical,
Moral and Mental Sciences, and an admirable
course in English Literature, the Bellies Lettres
&c. The various kinds of Fancy work may be

lection Of models in these studies. The Athen-
aeum is furnished with superior and costly

ments, instruction is given BY Professors and

led here

Principal will take pleasure in assigning to our
Normal Pupils such work in the duties of In
strcction as they may be fitted for, and in max.
ing due compensation for services rendered.

as well as q cultivated mind, he can
tell accurately what are both the inter.
ests and opinions of the people on all
questions, without allowing his own
feelings to color his decisions. We
repeat, We have many men worthy to
represent our people in the convention,
but our preferences are for Mr.. Dun
NINGToN.
Before this reaches many of our read
ers, the Convention Bill' will proba-
bly, have passed its third reading in the
Legislature. 1t does not call the con-
vention, but submits the question to
the people whether it shall be called.
This is entirely unnecessary, as there
can scarcely be doubt as to the will
of the people. Another Objectionable
feature of the bill restricts the franchise
for delegates to the convention to those
who are at present qualified voters for
members of the General Assembly.
The Convention will be farce if the
great masses of the people are not re-
presented in it.

Election OF United States Senator.

After balloting several days without
result for U. S. Senator, last Friday
Judge HENRY COOPER, of Davidson
County, was elected. The vote stood,
COOPER 55, JOHNSON 81. Mr.. JOHN
SON received majority of the Conser-
vative votes, Judge COOPER getting the
support of all but two of the Radicals.
Mr.. JoHNsoN's vote on Thursday was
As, and it was conceded that he would
get enough of the scattering votes to
elect him. But Thursday night eau
Gus was held by the ETHERIDGE men
and Radicals, and ETHERIDGE with.
drew his own name from the contest,
and proposed tina. they concentrate on
Judge COOPER. The conspiracy, of
course, was successful, and Judge
COOPER was elected. He is son of
Col. MATTHEW D. COOPER, of this
County, and lie calleda christian gentle
man and a man of ability. During
the war he was appointed Circuit Judge
by ANDREW JOHNSON, then Military
Governor of Tennessee, and made con-
siderable reputation by the finn stand
he took against the tyranny of
BRowNLow.
Mr. JOHNSON was our choice against
all the gentlemen that were balloted
for, because he was the ablest of Them
all, and would have done more for the
Democratic party, but Mr.. COOPER is
far preferable to Mr.. ETHERIDGE or
Mr.. BROWN. He will make a good,
earnest working member, and though
he cannot hope to do as much as MIR.
JOHNSON to destroy Radicalism, he
he will accomplish probably more for
the material prosperity of Tennessee.
We do not believe that he shares the
Banner Republicans hostility to the
Democratic party, (which hostility was
the cause of the conspiracy, etc. and
we are confident that he will cooperate
with it, OH all occasions. He is doubt
less as jealous a Democrat, but far from
being as able and experienced states
man as Mr.. JOHNSON, and this consti>
tutes the main difference between
them.

No More PardOns.

We are exceedingly glad to learn
that Governor SENTER has determined
not to grant pardons to Penitentiary
convicts, unless it be very meritorious
cases, and that he will be sparing i'm
his pardons. We repeat, We are glad
the Governor has come to this deter
mination, because the social condition
of this country greatly demands that
punishment for criminal offences be
more sure and certain. The frequent
and alarming shedding of colored blood
by negroes, shows how little they re
gard the punishment which has of late
years been melted out to the murderer.
Confinement and involuntary man
ual labor, at best, brings no great fear
to the colored mans mind, and when
the fear is further lessoned by promise
of Gubernatorial clemency, it Is not 10
be wondered at that blood is shed with
almost as little compunction as water.
Punishment is not commanded by the
law in a spiri: of revenge, but i'm
spirit of love for the prevention of
crime. 1t is a kindly feeling for the
negro that inclines us to hope that some
more adequate punishment than i'm
prisonment shall be instituted to pre-.
vent negroes from committing murder.
They should be made to feel that their
own lives are endangered when they
take the life of a fellow-man. A con-
slant reader of this paper has no doubt
been shocked at the great numb, r OF
murders committed by black people of
this county Indeed, the heading,
"a Negro Killed." mieli be left
standing in cur columns with fair
prospect of being used each week. 1t
is a noticeable fact that numbers of
colored men who have been in the
Penitentiary, come back and live
among their fellows without receiving
Contume,y or social disgrace. The
weaker the humanity the stronger
should be the inducement to virtuous
life.
