Or th? principle of the political a';<i civil tqnal itv of all men, or of affiliation with any polit i ja! party." Resolutions were adopted expressing entire Sitisfuction wilii the military administration of Major General John Pope, and. tendering h m thc thanks of the people Cl' Alabama for tue lirm and impartial course he has pursued. Three votes were given against these resolu tions. Several branches e-f the Constitution were considered and adopted, involving unimpor twjt changes in the old Coiistiiuiion excep: the creation of the office of Lieutenant Gov ernor. The Convention will probably Com plete its work this week. MONTGOMERY, November 22, p. m.-The article cf the Constitution o:i thc Judiciary, as reported, provides .that the Governor shall appoint all judges of the-several Courts. Solicitors and Chancellors to bo confirmed by the Senate. Magistrates gun11 be appointed by thc Governor, but the Legislature may change the manner of appointing them. The Chancellors shall appoint registers, and the Judges shad appoint the clerks of the severa1 courts. Tuc term of all these officers is to bc six years. The appointment of judicial officers is in order to prevent elections being controlled-by colored voters. The black delega:es strongly oppose this policy. An ordinance . was introduced to assess a tax of twenty cents a gallon on liquors to pay thc expenses of the Convention. Referred. An ordinance was introduced and referred providing that the loan of two hundred and twenty live thousand dollars to the Alabama and Tennessee Railroad, which was repaid to the Stato in Confederate currency during the war, is still undischarged and said road i b ?und to pay the sum now in cood money. MONTGOMERY, November 22. p." m.-At the evening session of the Convention an amend ment to an article on the Legislative Depart ment was offered, to empower the Lcgislature at thc next session to go further in disfran chising persons who participated in the rebel lion and have not aided iu thc work of re Construction, was tabled on a test vote of firty-thrcc to thirty seven. MONTGOMERY, November 23. p. m.-The Convention passed an Urditiar.co imposing an aldi.ional tax of ten per centutn'on the taxes otherwise assessed on the taxable property it: this State for thc purpose of paying the ex panses of tiie Convention, to b? assessed and collected during the tax year of ISGS. The franchise article provides that those who shall be convicted of treason shad no exercise the ri.^ht of suffrage. It is believfi that all persons who came within the twenty thousand dollar clause of President Johnson'. amnesty proclamation, and against whom pro cc-edings were instituted in thc State's Dis trict Court, who, on being pardoned by the President, had to appear in Court and enter the plea of pardon and guilty, are disfran cbised by the new Constitution. If this ii correct, thirty or foi tv thousand whites an disfranchised at one blow in this Sta-e. At the evening session of the Convcntior an amendment to the bill of rights was of fered, that common carriers shall not make a iy discrimination ou account of color bc t veen persons travcliic-; on public conveyan ces, which caused great excitement. S .vcral black delegates delivered inflammatory ha rangue-'; demanding entire social equality, and the right to ride iu sleeping cars, ?c. Two whites favored the amendment-Griffin and Keffer-making violent speeches. Several whites opposed it iu 6trong speeches. After >t heated and protracted debate the subject was postponed till Monday. BOTTOM RAH, ON TOP-A NEW JSDGE. Sherriff Harris walked up into the court room on Monday morning last, to make prepara tions for |he holding of the County Court, when he beheld David Taper, a copper col ored darkey, sitting in the Judge's scat, lo ik ing as bold and dignified asa billy-goat Mr. Harris a?ked him what he was doing then'1, when he replied that ho was going to hold court-that the botton rail wa3 on top now, and he had been selected as Jud?c of the County Court, and was going tn see that ne groes had justice done them. Mr. Harris or dered him to vacate the chair, but he posi tively refused to do so, said he was determined to preside at this term cf the court, and defi-'d the Sheriff or any other white man to attempt to put him out of his seat. The SherifT again ordered him to leave, when he picked up a water-pitcher and told the Sheriff to stand back. The Sheriff grabbed thc other pitcher from tho Judge's stand, and the fight com menced. Roth pitchers, several tumblers, and a chair or two, were smashed info atoms in a few moments, when Taper commenced yelline murder and broke for the street. Ta per is the same black rascal that had our Mayor arrested a few weeks since. He is a great scoundrel, and should be made to leave tho State at once.-Brandon (Miss.) Rep. THE RICE CROP.-Ti e Georgetown Times of tL? Mth says : "Many planters we have conversed with are sadly disappointed at the yield cf their crops-in many cases not reali zing one-half of their expectations-there be ing an abundance of light grains, the result of :;he unpropitious season and the dppredations of the b:"ds. The grain crop of the.district is certain.;.' inadequate to feed the population, ;uid we fef!r disastrous results to the poor du iring the long and dreary winter before us. Verily, wo have endured much, enough to ticken tho heart and envelop us in the dark ness of despair. But stern necessity compels tis to hope on, hope ever, and not to admit lh?t fore is such a word ? hil" Congressional.

It is gen orally believed the cotton tax will be re pealed. Hon. David A. Wells, Commissioner of Rev enue, has prepared a report favoring the re peal of the cotton tax. Wilson announced in the Hou?e that the Judiciary Committee would be ready on Mou day to report un in peachm nt. The di. eu-sion on referring the whole Ten nessee delegai?'<n to thc Election Committee, which was sp. ^ng by Democra s, elicited an angry debate. 1 he vote excluding Brier, on wbi.'h thc roi! was called, resulted-yeas, 117 ; nays.

NEW OKLKANS, November 23, p. m.-The Republican of this morning has an editorial beaded " Who is Responsible ?:' alluding to the suspension of removals by Gen. Mower in orders from Washington, in which it uses thc following language : " The day will come, ..nd perhaps it may beablooJy one, when the loyal people of Louisiana will bold thc authorities of this interference in the progress of reconstruction to a strict account. The war of the rebelliou is not yet over-the Suies of thc South are not yet reconstructed. The grand army of the republic, double in numbers of the old grand army of the Poto mac, tried soldiers with dusky faces, still love their old profession and cherish the old mus kets they carried so bravely on many a well fought field. The lowly and humble have learned their rights aud know how to fight and, if needs be, to die for them. No power, save that of the Almighty God, can keep thc loyal people in the cud from achieving their own liberty and trampling to the dust the minions of the old anti still dominant slave power." Thc same article calis Andrew Johnson " That arch traitor and assassin." The Convention met at noon to-day and elected negroes as temporary Chairman and Secretary until z permanent organization is arrived at. Adjourned till Monday. Forty-four negtocs and twenty five whites were present iu caucus and Judge TallaforrO seemed to be the choice for permanent Chair man, but probably the negro members will elect one of their own color. It is ur.der.-tood ii was resolved in caucus la?t night that the first step of the Conven tion would be to declare all State offices va cant and bil them with appointees accepta ble to the Radical party. Recent appoint ments by Mower, with oueor two exceptions, don't satisfy. ARE NECKOES ELIGIBLE TO CONWRESS. The New.York Herald has thc following per tinent inquiry : "Under the famous Drod Scolt decision the Sup-eme Court of the United States de cided that negroes were not citizens within the meaning of the Constitution. Whatever the popular sentiment may be in regard to that decision, if was never reversed, and re maitied the Uiw of the land, at least until the proelamation of emancipation issued by Pres ident Lincoln, in September, ISO'.'. If that proclamation made negroes citizens they at tained their citizenship at that time. The Constitution of the United States provides that no one shall be eligible to the United States House of Repr?sentatives until he has been seven years a citizen, or to the United States Senate until bc rdtall have been a cit izen niuo years. These facts may dash thc hopes of some of the ambitious Sambos and (?uashees who have anticipated the honor of representing some of thc Southern districts in the next Congress." It will only dash thc hopes of those aspir ing to be Senators. The seven years of pro bation will expire in September 1868. But as everything is worked " outside the Consti tution," the darkies can put ina plea of high er law, a la Thud Stevens.-Constitutionalist. CONVICTION AND SENTENCE or AARON LO CAN.-Ii will l?e remembered that during the process of registration last August, Aaron Lo ?an, a negro member of thc Board for Christ Church Parish, caused the unlawful arrest of Mr. J. S. Frazer, impeded the work of the BjHid, harangued a riotous assemblage, and was guilty of other disorderly conduct, which resulted in bis arrest, confinement and trial hy the muilary authorities. Fie has been found guilty and sentenced to six months ira prisonmcnt at hard labor at Fort Macon, North Llarolina, and General Cauby has approved the action of the Court.-Charleston Cou rier, 22J. PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE STATE OF TEX IS.-Thaddeus Stevens has under considera ron the advisability of dividing thc State of Texas into two or more States, and has an ?ounced his intention of introducing a Bill br that purpose during the coming session, saturday last he was for a long time engaged ti collecting information,respecting the popu ation, condition and interests of tho diff?rent lections oT the State, and he requested a Tox in editor, to furnish him with all the infor natioti obtainable bearing upon the question.

Another of our oldest, most widely-known and most universally-respected citizens, one whoso fam?y has been identified with Edgcfield from time immemorial, has departed this life:-WILEY GLOVER, Esq. On Monday last, while in town, Mr. GLOVER was stricken down by paralysis, was conveyed on n bed to tho residonce of his son, Mr A. A. GLOVER, near this Village, and die* on thc samo night. Kt?ult of the Late Protracted Meeting. On Friday afternoon l?3t, in tho stream running by lae Malo Academy, wore immersed twelve young persons, eight male, and four female. The afternoon was fine, and a large assembly witnessed thc beautiful and solemn rite, impressively per formed by the Rev. LUTHER R. GWALTNET, pas tor of the Edgcfield Baptist Church. And on the Sunday following, in the Methodist Church, by its zealous and well btlovod pa*tor, Rev. 1'. IIt:nji ?N, wcro baptized throe young per sons; four or live of those who b.ivo so lately connected themselves with that Church, having been airca Jv baptized in infancy. Profoundly Contemptible and Unfath omably Ridiculous. Wc mean the scrcullcd election which took pince in our District and State on Tuesday and Wednesday last. As regards the result at any other box than that of tba Court Ilouie, wo can say nothing. We have heard nothing. We have not boon able t?> heir anything. White people seem to drive th J affair, with loathing and coiu tcmpt, even fron their very thoughts. At our Villugo Box, during ILT two duvs, 1,1)94 votes were polled : a? colored. Sot a tingle white man in Edgtfitld forget himself ! The fallowing were the only 2..n.)idates voted for; in fact, there wore no othtrs to vote for. And these will, in thc coming burlesque Conven tion, be called the Representatives from Edgcfield. It is unnecessary to say thnt they will not rcpre sont thc whites of Edgcfield. And it is scarcely more necessary to say that they will not represent thc Hacks. Neither whites nor blacks know them. They will only represent the interests of the lowest, wretchedest and fiercest type nf Radical ism. Their names uro Rivers, Elliot, Bonham, (tbroo low-country negroes) Burris (an Edgefield negro) Wooly, Medici;, (two white men living at Grantville) and Arnaim (a white man living in Hamburg.)

Purple-Top or Ked-Strap? Our friend BENJ. MAYS Esq., has brought us a largo bag of most emphatically largo Turnips. Very peculiar looking they arc-and very beauti ful. They are globe-shaped and of a bright pur ple color, toning off towards tho root end into a delicate lilac. Really they aro the prettiest things wo have seen lately ; and the biggest things, ns we did not seo Robinson's elephant. Wo were not present when our friend deposited this welcome civility j and, therofore, we know not what name to call those Turnips by. They are afc of a new fangled and very valuable sort however.

COHEN keeps on hand every possible variety of goods in the Shoe lino. His fine and fashionable goods for Ladies and Gentlemen arc ravishingly beautiful. We assure you wo do not exaggerate. .More beautiful and stylish Shoes, Boots, Gaiters, Slippers, than aro to bc found at COHEN'S do not exist " in the heavens above, or in tho earth be neath, or in tho witrr? um'-ir the earth."

Thus, to our infinite amusement, is the august Mnjor-Genl. John Pope, Commander of the 3rd Military District, apostrophized by tho Augusta Conttitutionalitt. This old nindquartors has mmmoncd his Georgia Convention to meet in At anta on the 9th December. His Alabama Con :orn, as is well known, bas been in its hey-day for two or three weeks.

" What isthe Ethnological Status of tl Negro!? Last week we spoke of a very rcmtirkablo pa .phlet, lately published in Cincinnati, on the e nological status of tho negro, designed to prc that be is not thc descendant of Ham ; that ht a beast; that miscegenation was the cause of I flood, of thc destruction of the tower of Babel, Sodam and Gomorrah, and of the Canaaniti nations ; and that miscegenation is " the unpi ch nable .-in" which in the nature of things, ci not bc forgiven, but must be punished by the < struction of those who commit it. This pamphlet, as wo hofore rer&rked, is : trading great attention among whites an'd L'.ac both North and South ; and is being answered, more than one placo in the South, so far as it ; tempts to make th? negro "a beast" and inca] ble of moral and religious elevation. This wei glad to see ; for surely in this attempt to make t negro a beast, thero is something blaspheme inhuman, and absurd. "Ariel," tho author of this work, asserts tl tho ve< plo of India, China, Turkey and EgypJ who are very far from being negroes-aro the ( scendunts of Ham; and that tho negro is a prut tive race, older than tho white, and very far in rier; in whih opinion, to be sure, he has be furo*talUd by a vsry celebrated British travel and cxploror-Sir Samuel Baker, tho discovoi of the source of tho Nilu. The lattor thinks that Africa gives unmistai ble evidence^ of nevor. having been flooded, a that its animals an'd races may, therefore,., older than any others upon thc earth. However, it were vain for us to follow "Ari? through all the scriptural and historical proofs his position. But wo may remark that, af! showing that tho Canaaoiti.-h nations, whose m crable and terrible destruction has often seom hard to Bible readers, were miscegenation's, I whom nothing but extermination would do, t cause nothing elso would obliterate their crin he lays decided stress on thc fact that their ci of iniquity was full in tho fourth genoration," that tho cxtcrnnl vengetinco agreed with t ordinary laws of nature. And, at the same time that we are shocked any attempt to prove so fatal and horrible a thii as the negro being a "beast,"'wi:hout soul moral nature, yet, in view of the indisputal moral, montai and physical inferiority of t negro to tho white man, we think it woll cnout that something should be written to startle tl masses of the North, and unito them against n gro suffrage, supremacy, oquality, and amalgam tion. And we understand that this pamphlet well calculated as it is for popular effect-is ha ing a wide circulation thero. In conclusion, it asserts that, from tho time Abraham, who owned several hundred slave down to the days of Washington and Jcfforso Divine P.-oviJence " never conferred, and nev designed to confer, any great blessing on tl human family, but thntit always selected awhi slave holder, or one of a white slave holding ni tion, as tho mcdiutu by or through which thi blessing should reach them." It is also argued that the negro just either I sent back to Atrien, or bo ro-cnslavod; and thi thc formor is much the preferable alternativ The people of tho South are exhorted to see th finger of Providenco in passing ovents, to d nothing to invite negro equality, to submiLto to laws, and to bdijve that tho right will finliljHb triumphant. And another striking point in this pamphlet one which we had forgotten until this moment-i that " Ariel" dwells, with considerable cmphasi upon that injunction of the law of Motes forbid ding any one with a " flat nose" to approach th altar. As wc have said abovo, this argument, so fara it attempts to make tho negro "a beast" and in capable of moral and religious elevation, is bein, ably answered here and there. And very lately ?nan ol.iborateand carefully confered discourse by Rov. Dr. GirarJeau of Charleston, a Presbyto rian di', i oe of great learning and ability, and o the highest character. This striking and remarkable pamphlet may b had from the " Holmes Book House" in Charlot ton, or from Quinn, in Augusta. -? ? ? A HANDSOJIB PIECH or WORK.-Wo havo beet shown, by our townsman, Mr. C.

Show me a family without a newspaper, and I will venture lo say thero will be mannorsof igno rance most strongly in contrast with tho neighbor who allows himsolf such a rational indulgence. Young men, especially, should road newspapers. If I were a boy, even of twelvo years, I would read a newspaper weekly, even though I had to work by torch light to earn money enough to pay for it. The boy who reads well will'learn to think and analyze; and if so he will bo almost sure to make a man of himself-having vicious indul gences, which rcadicgis calculated to beget a dislike {or."
