KOBINS, Col. HO?'T. A THOMPSON was called to the Chair, mid J. ll. G068ETT requested ti; act ss Secretary, On taking thc Chair, Col. THOMPSON said : fallow-Oitizf.m : I lln?nk you fur tho hon or done me. Wo have been called for the purpose of taking counsel together, and, I am sure, we have'never before met under circum stances of a more trying and difficult chamo* ter. A grave responsibility rests upon us. bm, I tru*t, you ure fully prepared to do your duty in the premises. I,ot us havo a full and" free interchange of views and opinions, such as will, I hope, enable us lo proceed with har mony amongst ourselves; and, with a fair prospect of realizing, at no distant day, that which it) dear to the heart of every good mun -the restoration of all sections td* this great, country to that high position of peace, pros peri ty and happiness, which was. at one time, the pride and honor td' every American citizen. You have been culled together, my friends, for the purpose of taking into consideration thc recent legislation of Congress, looking lo a restoration of the Southern States to their rightful position in the Union of these States For two years, we have been doing everything required of us by the Prcshh'titof the Hutted States to effect this most desirable object. The vi n f. ?rt una tc differences of opinion between thc President and Congress, on this subject, have prevented a consummation devoutly to be wished. .Congress, after an appeal to the people, has been sustained. What wc have dime for the Pr?sident has proved nugatory, because thc power in the. government (Con gress) b is intervened to prevent its being car ried out. The terms and conditions impeded by Con gress, upon which we m y be received back into thc Union, are not such as to commend thrm as the cindee ol' cilht r yoe. or 1. Put they are such as ibo conqueror prescribes, and ? accept them asa means of restoring peace and quiet to the ch ill it ry'. And. f How citi zens, that coUrso which I have marked out for myself, 1 have no hesitation whatever in commending to you for a like purpose Hy thc terms of thc reconstruction act. mil itary law prevails in South Carolin*?, lt is the highest tribunal in the State ; but. undct tlie wis?* and humane orders of mir military Chief, civil authority, such as you yoiirsclve? have lou dly authorized, is to govern us durtnji eur good conduct, or until we have shown. b\ our own acts, that we reject tho termsofferei to US by Congress. And here, fellow citizens I cannot too ea rn? stly admonish you to I.e. a: I the great majority have been sine? tint termi nation ol' the late unfortunate strutJg'o, quiet peaceable and 'aw abiding. Ksecming you own State laws diligently ami faithfully, :.r>. issistinii the mi-it try, when calhd un, to pr?, tect life ?lid property. A section ?if this act. confers lb? right c ?uffrago on all citizen-? of every r'uee and colo! who have attained the age of twenty-one yean This is the greatest of ?mr unjust and ungei emus punishments. Not thal we cared toi exclusive, in this respect, with th? chlore .nan, but from our intimate knowledge of t', w ant of ?ditent ion. culturo ami experience, 0 his part, in so important a matter. Iloweve with the negro five, we imagined that HI would iii uncndi'.r'?hld. Put what arc th facts: The black man, like tho "red men< the forest," aie pissiii!_r away, nail neither ai Hoy us hy their number or bad conduct. T admit him to .. equality before tho law?" invest l im with tho right to testify in nv oourts, was the "last hair on tho camel' bick." Novoi th el ess, we h.ive suffered n positive detriment thereby. The colored ma sues or is sued, and gives evidence in th omits cf I he.State, very much like thc white; and now. with less th ni -i twelve months es porience, we scarcely think ol' the novelty. This, my friends, is too much a thing of pre judice with ns-natural enough, it is true, bu it should n. t move ns tn acts nf unkindness t these unfortunate people, much less to dine? of person or opinion, Let us hope that thci investiture willi suffrage, by a power beyon our control, may not produce circumstances! a moro damaging or unpleasant character. And now that these, people are not only frei but invested with eveiy right and privilep enjoyed by the white man, there can bc ri lui thor ea use ?if t rouble or antagonism bet wee tho races. On the contrary, there is cvci reason why th?i;e should be none. Wo ill citizens of tho S uno Stato. Our destiny his destiny-our fate is his fate. Lot u then, divest ourselves of passion and prep dice, and como forward and give bim t.licfu measure of just iee. If lie is taxed, let hi participate in tho benefits of that taxation, 1 Others may do. It is unnecessary for mc say anything in relation to association, on th subject; for, I presumo, it is the desire 1 both races to have separate schools, ohurohc &o., kc. That section of the act, which disfrnnohis certain persons therein enumerated-men ability and distinction, mid to whom we Ituv in former days, looked with confidence-is penalty inflicted on tho few to save the man llenen, they should ever bc remembered us with feelings of devotion and gratitm for thc servieCB rendered by them to tin State and country. And, if it is your des1 to Servo thom, as I have no doubt it. is. y can most effectually do so by promptly rigl ing tho good old ship of Stato, and phiei her in her former rightful position in thc L ion, and then asking that- this disability ni he removed by Congress from them. Another section, declares tho present St governments provisional, nm] subject to 1 paramount authority of the Congress of I United States. Undoubtedly, wo shall main, then, in our present provisional con tion, subject to tho rigors of martial h?w, III wo may accept or reject the fenns proffered Congress. If wo acoept thoso terms, and < ry them out in flood faith, I firmly beli your Representatives will he received in C srress, and your State, toftscd and driver blood and suffering for four ovuntful ye i will bo restored to her former relations v I the States of tho Amcrioan Union. If reject ilics? terms, or fail to carry them out faithfully, then Congress might, und 1 believe would, sweep away every vestigo of State au thor i ty, disfranchise very many, if not all of you-reduce us toa territorial condition, with general confiscation. 1 know, fellow-citizens, that it is considered an unworthy object to ??^ peal to thc fears of a people. Had you the power to resist, the allegation might have some weight. Hut boro tho oaso is different. You are powerless-helpless. It is not only not unworthy to .say this much ; but to say fur ther, that tho man who rejects thc terms of the conqueror, and refuses to be governed by the circumstances which surround him, and which he cannot control, is not only unworthy of your confidence, but is evidently a mailman --a political monomaniac. For one, I prefer to act the part of prudence, believing that, in the end, it will also be found to bc thc part of wisdom. Thc Supplemental net, among other thing?, requires thc Commanding General io cause a registration of thc voter;?: of this Stnte t:> be made. An oath is required, not retrospective in its operation, but prospective. It is such au one. ns Gen I ?v.r. saya, can betaken by ?my ime not disfranchised.

When the election is bold for delegate? te form a State Constitution, it is also necessary for you to indicate, by ballot, whether you J fa vor or oppose the Convention.

G088ETT, Sce'ty. WASHINGTON. April 15.-in tho Supre Court, to-day, Chief Justice Chase dell vc 1 an opinion in tho case of tho State of M ssippi against President Johnson and fl Ord, on u motion for leave to file a bill restrn ing them from tho execution of tho ree struction Act. Tho court diesentcd from 1 argument of counsel, that.tho President is quired merely t > porform a ministerial r and held that tho terms ministerial and ecntivc aro by tm means equivalent in til import. A minlsterinl duty, the pcrforinn rd" which may, in proper cases, berequiroi tho hoad of a department hy judicial prom is ono in respect to which nothing is to discretion. On the tither hand. it. is duty of tho President to soo that tho laws faithfully executed, and among thc IHWS the reconstruction Acts. Art attempt on part of tho judicial department to enjoin performance of such duties by the Presid might justly bo characterized, in tho langa of Chief JnsticA Marshall, " ?B an absurd ! excessive extravagance." Congross is tlic legislativo department of tito Government the President ()j tho executive department. Neither can be restrained in its notion hythe judicial department, though tho acts of both, when performed, arc, inproper cases, subject to its cognizance. Thc court proceeded to show thc impropriety of such interference, by considering tho orobablo consequences, and concluded tis follows : *. lt has been sug gested that the bill contains a prayer that if the relief sought On tl not be held against An- . drew Johnson as President, it may bo granted | against him asa citizen of tho State of Ten- j unesco. Hut it is piain that relief against tho | execution of lill Act of Congress by Andrew Joliusqn is relief against its execution by the President. A bill praying foi* sn injunction I a gili list the execution of an Act of Congress I by the incumbent of the Presidential Ollice cannot be received. Whether it describes him as President or simply as a citizen of a State." , The motion to file thc bill is, therefore, de nied. I T i the o-so of the State of Georgia against certain ?l'oOrs, the Attorney General ma h ea no objection to ttl'*) policy of the bill, and bc will, therefore, grant leave to lile that hill. Judge Sharkey said thc objection to thc* hill be attempted Ip file seemed to be thal it was nil effort to enjoin tho President. The bill was not filed, and ho cot.ld reform it to suit the views of the court, and present it again. The Chief Justice replied, thal leave; to file thc motion is refused. When another b!ll is j presented, lt will be considered. Judge Sharkey - I undcrstan 1 the court to say that application eau bo made on Thurs ! day. j Tho Chief Justice replied : On Thurs ! day.
