TION, AND THE CONVENTION SNUBS POPE-SPEECHES
OF THE INDIGNANT DELEGATES-GREAT DISTRESS
OF THE CONSTITUTION-TIN EERS-WHO ARE TUE
SUFFEBERS.
ATLANTA, December 23.-The convention took a
recess this morning, to give an opportunity to ne?
gotiate for the payment of its expenses. The
afternoon convention was exceedingly stormy.
The Finance Committee failed to secure a lean;
and reported an ordinance to authorize further
efforts, which was defeated, on the ground that
nothing could be done. The report of the com?
missioners sent to Hiiledgeville to draw $40,000
from the State Treasury was read. It says that
they showed to the State Treasurer the ordi?
nance of the convention, with General Pope's au?
thorization and direction endorsed, and tho Trea?
surer said ho must declino to pay out any
money on such authority, being Bworn to
obey the constitution and laws of Georgia, and
bonded to pay only warrants signed by the Gover?
nor. During the debate that ensued, one delegate
said that the Treasurer had snubbed the conven?
tion. Another said, "Would to God that tho con?
vention could snub Pope." The uegro Bradley
said "the sergeant-at-arms should be sent w''b a
tile of soldiers to bring thai, ixaputlont folio? thc
Treasurer, to the bar of the convention." Another
negro said, "What did they bring us here fjr?'
Great confusion accompanied tho adjournment,
which took place to January 8. Extremo indigna?
tion is expressed by the delegates, a majority of
whom have not money enough to take them home.
The hotels, boarding-houses, and tho convention
printers and officials sutler severely.
Gen. Sweeney Pardoned.
AUGUSTA, December 23.-Gen. Sweeney, who was
suspended by court-martial from rank nod pay for
six months, has had his sentence remitted by tho
President, and has been ordered to report for duty
to General Pope.

MACON, December 23.-A detachment of troops
left here to-night for Milledgville. Their move?
ment is supposed to have some connection with
the refusal of tho State Treasurer to pay money to
the order of General Pope and the Convention.
Rocherlea and Murders Continue.
RALEGH, December 23.-A negro was stabbed
yesterday in fracas with two or three colored eol
diers, and died in a few minutes. The inque?fc im?
plicates three blacks who have beeu committed for
trial. Robberies and mmders continue in the
Counties of Craven, Jones aud Lenoir. Tlioy are
committed by armed blacks upon unoffending
whites. Prompt action its necessary to restore
quiet and confidence.
The Freedmen in District No. 5 Ordered
to AVork or he Arrested as Vagrants.
MEMPHIS, December 23.-General Ord bas issued
general orders scuding Assistant Commissioner
Gillern to Washington to represent the starving
condition of the freedmen in portions of his sub?
district. He also declares, in auother order, that
the freedmen shall work in tho coming yeur or bo
arrested as vagrants, if work can be had, and they
remain idle.
The Convention in Louisiana-Auother Fi?
nancial Muddle.
NEW OBLEANS, December 23.-During tho moru
iug session of the convention a resolution was of?
fered by a negro directing that the first legisla?
ture convened under the new constitution should
issue six per cent, bonds to redeem the State
debt, an annual tax of two mills to be levied to
pay the same. Consideration postponed.
At the afternoon session a certificate from the
State Treasurer was read to the effect that no
funds had been deposited to the credit of the con?
vention. He therefore moved a suspension of tho
rules and tho adoption of his resolution repealing
the bond ordinance. This resolution authorizes
the payment of the members warrants out of any
funds in the State Treasury. Tho motion to sus?
pend -AS lost. In the course of the debate on the
bom. question, a colored delegate said that ' when
he reflected upon the bond scheme he felt ashamed
of the convention. He felt that the i^sue of three
hundred thousand dollars of eight per cent, bonds,
for which but one hundred and ninety-five thou?
sand dol?ais wero io be received, was an infamous
swindle." Adjourned.

HORE A1ICCT TUE COTTON' TAX".
Continuation of tho Debate on its Repeal in
the United States Senate.
in the United States Sonate on Friday last,
Mr. SHERMAN called up the unfinished business
the bill to repeal thc cotton tas. He said the first
tax on cotton was but ona per cent, of the value.
Nearly all industrial products had been partially
relieved, while herc was a tax of twenty-five per
cont, on tho product of thc richest form of agri
col tura! products.
Mr. CONNESS said ho would vote with thc Sena?
tor to reduce tho tax proportionately with others
now, and in futuro to throw it off altogether when
other burdens could be remove,I.
Mr. SHERMAN continued his argument for the
justicoof the repeal. Thc House had passed thc
bill without debate, recognizing its necessity, in
view ol' tho fact that enough would not bo left to
the producer, after paying thc tax, to provide the
necessaries of life.
Mr. SHEEHAN earnestly opposed the motion to
postpone, saying it involved a postponement of
tho bill until tho whole question of revenue should
bo decided, while it was indispensable to the
laborer ana planter to know immediately thc tax
to be paid on next year's crop. More than one
half ot' the cotton crop, p rhaps, was pledged to
the laborer. They were really partners; but the
planter was obliged in the meantime to support
tho laborer. No ono denied that tho tax was
onerous, absorbing one bale of cotton out of four
I one-fourth of tho product-one-fourth of his "corn?
dodgers"-a tax that could not l?e endured, and
one that was laid on no other product, lt was not
a question ot politics. Thoso poople wore not re?
presented herc, and ho spoke ?ts much in tho in?
terest of loyal black men as of rebels. Political
lol ling, therefore, should be kept out of tho dis?
cussion. The already deplorable condition of
poverty, broken in spirit as thev were, should ap?
peal to senators not to heap coals of fire on their
heads. Ho took up and replied to thc arguments
that other kiuds of products bore an equal burden,
as alleged by Mr. Stewart, Mr. Ferry, and others,
and asked what other bore such a tax.
Mr. FERRY. Thc sale of manufactured goods.
Mr. SHEEHAN. How much is that ?
Mr. FEKRY. Fivo per cent, on sales.
Mr. SHERMAN. That is undoubtedly paid by tho
consumer.
Mr. FERRY explained that his argument bad been
that tho tax cn his constituents should bo removed
to sonic extent. He thought all interests ehould be
partially relieved, not cotton alone.
Mr. SHERMAN continued, contending that tho in?
ternal revenue tax had been partially removed
from manufactured goods, and urging the imme?
diate passage of tho bill.
Mr. STEWABT briefly rop?ed to Mr. Sherman's
remarks in regard to mining interests.
Mr. CORBETT followed, quoting statistics in sup?
port of tho bill.
Mr. MORT.'.LL, of Vermont, denied that thc tax
would work oppression. At all events, to postpone
the bill until February or March, when tho report
of the Revenue Commissioner came in, was not
oppressive. Why should not tho exports of the
South bo doubled ? he asked, arguing that such
would bc tho result of the continuation of thc tax.
Mr. GRIMES gave tho reasons why he should vote
agaiust the postponement, in order to vote for the
suspension of tho tax.
Mr. Sinuous spoke at some length in favor of ?
tho repeal, saying that he was bound again to ex- |
press tho alarm he felt in regard to tho commer- i
cial interests ol' tue country, especially of thc i
North. Tho fact that English labor had made In- j
dia cotton equal to thc best sea island was the true j
reason of the fall in price. He denied that the i
country was richer now than before the war; it was 1
poorer' to thc extent of the $5,000,000,000 spent i
during the war. If the amount producod during I
the war were deducted from this, they should add
to it what $1,500,000 had destroyed. i
Mr. DRAKE contended that while, from tho im?
poverished condition of thc South, the tax should
be suspended, cotton should still bo made to bear
??j pction of the country's burdens. That the
manufacturers of the North, enriched* by thu war, i
were now burdened somewhat, did not justify the I
entiro removal of those burdeus. Eut he urged I
strongly that a helping hand should bc held out to :
the South, to lift it up lo comparative prosperity, i
It was the dictate of wisdom to suspend the tax '
now-not to keep them in btispense, thc produc- 1
tion of cotton requiring a commencement at tho
beginning of tho year. He would opposo thu post- ,
poneraent.
Mr. THAXEB was surprised to hear from tho Sen?
ator the same argument that had boen used at the i
the South-that Congressional legislation was die- I
tated by malice. 1
Mr. DRAKE denied that his words could bear I
such an implication. 1
Mr. THAYER. 1 understood the Senator to say
that he would not be actuated by malice. What is
the inference ? That if we do" not repeal it, wo 1
are actuated by malice.
Mr. DRAKE. I intended none such.
Mr. THAYER would not misrepresent tho Senator, i
but would take his explanation. He went on lo
say that the South hud shown no contrite spirit, i
bul a disposition to abuse Congress, and did not
really deserve any special favor.
Mr. NXE asked the chairman of the committee 1
(Mr. Sherman) if the intention was not to place :
on Northern industry the burden taken from tho '
South.
Mr. SHEEHAN referred him to tho report of tbe
committee
Mr. NYE accepted the roply as a confession. He
referred to the various cries of povoity from thc 1
woollen interests, tho iron interests, and the min?
ing interests-which last he said was true. "I en- 1
dorse it.'' (Laughter.) He especially wanted to i
know whether tho Committee on Finance had ar?
ranged to sn >ply this deficiency. The South had
given no evidence of thankfulness for the magna?
nimity ot Congress, hut tho contrary. To ask 1
the soldiers who had done so much tor tho nation
to bear th;s additional burden from tho South was
too much. In the Darno of humanity, he objected.
If the tax was too onerous, takeoff a part of it.
Because business was coming back to its legiti?
mate standard, the Northern manufacturers, who
during tho war kept clerks to count their profits,
claimed that they were suffering from tho war.
Let future generations pay their proportion of tho
nation's liability, lo open the rich mines of the
West, to set every spmdlo going, to complete the
Pacific Railroad, was the true nay to pay the debt,
lie entertained none of the fears of his more
financially experienced friend fron, Rhodo Island.
Let the Finance Committeo stop trying to paj this
debt. Let 'ose tho oncrgies of thu people, and
remove the unnecessary taxes from all industry.
Di conclusion, bo prayed tho committee to con?
sider whero this burdon was ultimately to rest, and
place it where it could bo borne.
Mr. SPEAOUE said that, while boastfulness and
brag was being indulged in by the American peo?
ple, other nations had labored and prospered.
Mr. SHERMAN denied that this repeal was pro?
posed as much for the benefit of the rebel aristo?
crats of the South, so often denounced by the Ren?
ator, as for the benefit of the four millions of black
men. It was upon them that the Senate wonk1
fasten this burden. Not Ohio alone, mr any par?
ticular section, favored this repeal, but the whole
, cone tay. Would thev wait while people starved V
Ho hoped they would* follow tho example of the
lin-", and pass the bill. Doubtless, by amore
careful apportionment of the taxes, the public
debt could ho curtailed.
Mr. FESSENDEN moved to go into executive ses?
sion, saying it was evident no action could bo taken,
and certa??y no evil could result from ti postpone?
ment lor sixteen days.
Several Senators objected, when
Slr. CONELINO said the House bad adjourned,
and consequently it was useless to pass tbe bill,
Tho bill was therefore luid over.

SPEAKER COLFAX ON RECONSTRUCTION, -Wc find
the following in the New Orleans Republican of
Tuesday last:
WASHINGTON. December 2, 18f?V. "I have bat
a moment amid multiplied duties to say, in reply
to your letter, thal you need not fear that Con?
gress will take any backward Bte ps in reconstruc?
tion. We have staked our political existence on
the principle that tho States lately in rebellion
shall be reorganized on thc enduring corner-stones
of loyalty and justice, and shall be led back to
their old places in our council bulls by tho re who
dared amid thc tornado of treason that Bwcpt over
thc South to stand faithfull) for liberty and the
Union. While I do not believe m confiscation, or
anything looking like rove.ige, and hope to see
suffrage as universal us safety to the cause of loy?
alty will premit, aud t ito restored States guaran?
teeing education to all, I would not modify tho
terms of reconstruction in any essential feature
one hair's breadth. If the former rulers of the
South, whose baffled ambition plunged ti peaceful
country into the carnage of civil war, refuse to ex?
ercise the right ol'voting, which Congress proffer
cd to thc great bulk of them, on their own beads,
not our*, will bo tho responsibility. Yours, very
truly, "SCH JYLER COLFAX. '
-We aro accustomed to think that we are a
great manufacturing people, but our large estab?
lishments, particularly in the working ol' metals,
are eutiroly overshadowed by some of the huge
English workshops. And even thc English are
left behind nov., and little Prussia, which bas latter?
ly grown to be great Prussia, boasts an establish?
ment for thc working of steel alone which sur?

STANTON BEFOSE TUE SUPREME COURT Ol' TUE DIS
TRICT OF COLUMBIA-THE SOUTHERN RADICALS
COMPLAIN OF THE ACTION OF THE REPUBLICAN
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN FIXINO SO EARLY A
DATE FOR THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL CON?
VENTION.
The Washington correspondent ol" the Richmond
Dispatch says:
A sait was o .'?led np to-day in tho Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, in which Stan?
ton is charged with falsely and arbitrarily impris?
oning Mr. Smithson, a banker in this city, on the
charge of sending information to thc Confederates.
Smithson was tried by a military commission,
convicted, and sentenced to imprisonment in tho
Albany penitentiary, and afterwards pardoned on
the ground that there was no semblance of ground
tor tho charge against him. Thc case was to-day
postponed.
There are hundreds of cases like this, or \v0r3e,
now brought against tho "Haman of America."
The Southern Radicals send here their com?
plaints against thc action of the Republican Execu?
tive Committee in fixing soourly a dato as the 12th
of May for the meeting of thc Convention. They
say it is not possible that the Southern States can
bu admitted to representation in Congross by thc
date of tho meeting of the Convention, and thc
South is therefore virtually debarred from partici?
pation in the nomination of thc candidate 1er the
Presidency by reason of a rule of thc committee
that only such States as aro represented in Con?
gress shall be entitled to send delcgat 'S to the Na?
tional Convention. They allege that this rule was
adopted to secure tho nomination of Ccnoral
Brant; and they, the .'Southern men," being in fa?
vor ol' Chase, threaten a special convention on thu
lld of February.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE FASHIONABLE WEDDLNO THAT
DID NOT COME OFF.-The Buffalo (N. Y.) Commer?
?ai, alluding to the case of Colonel Parker, the
inissiug bridegroom, says :
There are sonic people in this locality who pro?
fess to bo well acquainted with Colonel Parker,
and give au explanation of his mysterious disap?
pearance quite diflercnt from any t.iat we have
seen stated in thc papers as current nt Washing?
ton. They say that the gallant aboriginal has a
full-blooded squaw and a family of "one little, two
little, three little-uobody knows how many little
-Indians'' of his own already. They say that
though bc desired to indulgo iii the rather expen?
sive luxury of a pnle-faco wile among tho other
blessings of civilization to which ho has accus?
tomed himself, when it carno to tho sticking place
be could not screw Iiis courage up to it. Ho did
not dare to brave the prejudices of his tribe
apain>t marrying a pale-face, and especially dread?
ed the vengeance of his true squaw's kindred.
Wc do not vouch for the truth of this explanation,
but should not like tc stamp it as an untruth
either.
Wo have heard very interesting descriptions of
Colonel Parker's habits when spending brief sea?
sons with his tribe. At such times, it is said, ho
puts off all tracen of his civilized life, and lives and
acts just as the other Indians do. He divests
himself of tho white man's dress, and puts on the
trappings of a great Indian chief, with feathers,
war-paint, and all the other accessories. At such
times bis civilized friends would find it difficult to
recognize the gallant, chief of thc staff, for tho
whole man appears to bo metamorphosed. His
demeanor partakes of tho solemn stolidity of the
Indian, and he is, to all appearance, a nonchalant,
lazy, haughty, redskin chief of tho truo aboriginal
type._
THE EARTHQUAKE.-The accounts brought by
newspapers from Canada and Western New York
respecting thc earthquake of Wednesday morning,
agree as to tho time of tho occurrence and in the
description. The Montreal Gazette ol Thursday
Bays :
The earthquake which occurred yesterday morn?
ing appoars to have been of a moro serious nature
than wo at first supposed. The shocks were suffi
;i> ntly violent to awaken a great many. A gentle?
man residing in St. Catherine-street statos that a
rapid succession of shocks continued during near?
ly three-quarters ot a minuto, or while ho could
20unt forty. He and bis family were awakened
by tho rocking of thc house. After waiting for
about a minute to see if the movement continued,
ho aroBO and striking a light ho found thc time
precisely 3.10 A. M. Tho motion was between
north and south; he could not be certain from
which side tho impulse came, but thinks it was
from tho north. The sound was very distinct; it
was a rushing noise, and his first impression was
that a high wind bad sprung up with a strong
gust f-om tho north, to which point his bed-room
looked. Ho was immediately set right by thu mo?
tion so poculiir to earthquakes. Tho noise is de
icribed by others as a rumbling noise; as for the
difference* in tho time of duration a heavy sleeper
would, of course, describe it as shorter than or.e
who is easily awakened.
The Syracuse Journal, of Wednesday afternoon,
lias tho following:
A very considerable shock of au earthquake was
experienced in I his city this morning at about ten
minutes past "bree o clock. It was so violent as
to awaken many people. Its duration is variously
estimated .tl from one minute to two or three min?
utes. Tho sensation produced by it is described
as like the rolling of waves from south to north,
rocking beds gently and yet decidedly, as a light
boat would rock upon rapid but. steady ruuning
waves. There was no noise accompanying tho
3hocK, except that caused by the rattling ol' win?
dows or the jostliug of crockery, which was quite
i-iolont in severrl instances reported to us. About
a month ago, a shock of au earthquake-much
less violent than this, however-was reported to
have occurred in the southern part of Onondaga
couuty. Two earthquakes in so brief a period aro
raro luxuries l'or'.he people in this northern lati?
tude.
The Utica Herald has the following with refer?
ence to thc Bhock in that city:
From the reports which reach us from all parts of
Oneida County, it is quito curtain that Central
New York was, Wednesday morning, visited by an
earthquake ! Thc reports are generally of tho
same character. They sty distinct rocking ot
bouses was perceptible; that washbowls and
pitchers wore beard to strike against each o'her;
that stoves were moved out of their pince?; that
crockery was distributed upon the shelves. Per?
sons who were awake at tho time describo it as a
kind of heavy, rumbling sound, similar to the con?
tinued breaking of an immense body ot ico.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT APALACHICOLA.- A MAN
M?RBERE?, HIS HOUSE FIBED AND HIS BODY
BURNED. -By a correspondent at Apalachicola
(Fla.) we have particulars ol a terri bio tragedy
which occurred in that place on the evening of tho
15th instant. About half-past nine o'clock an
nlarm of lire was sounded, which proved to bo in
tho store of Mr. Price, at the upper end of Wator
strcot. A la lire crowd assembled, and it was ru?
mored that Price was in thc building, and various
conflicting stories were allout as to tho origin of
the fire ; some said that ho had lallen asleep while
reading and knocked over the lamp ; others that
his kerosene lamp bad exploded, but all felt satis?
fied that the unfortunate man was perishing in tho
ilnmos. As search was about to be instituted a
keg of powder in tho store exploded, which blew
oil the roof of tho building and scattered thc
debris in -.very direction, ami causing the crowd
to run fi - safet}. They crowded one upon anoth
or inn marsh back of the burning building, but
fortunately no one was hurt. Efforts were made
io Btibduc thc flames, which wore finally success?
ful, and a search w is then mad.' for the missing
niau. His body was found near the centre of tho
building, ?md presented a sickening sight. The
arms, legs and budy wi re completely and entirely
barned, and tho face terribly disfigured. Every
part of thu body was burned lo a crisp, save thc
nt ck, around which a rope was drawn lightly. Mr.
Price lived in (be store, and was supposed to have
had considerable money is bis possession, and thc
probability is that ho was murdered by some vil?
lains to secure ibis, and having committed the
atrocious deed, they resorted to tue plan of firing
thc building to cover up all traces of their damna?
ble crime. Suspicion pointed to parties up the
river as the guilty ones, but no direct evidence of
criminality had been obtained up to the evening
of the is h instant.

MEDICINE AND SUBGERY.
THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE
AND SURGERY was ontantzed In 1848. Chartered
by thc Legislature, February 2(5.1853. Nam o changed
by a legislativ.: enactment to thc Eclectic Xedical Col?
lege, of Philadelphia, in 1860. In 1863 it purchased the
Pennsylvania Medical College, established in 1312, and
thc Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously
been merged into tho Pennsylvania Medical < 'ol ?ego. lu
1864 it purchased the Penn Medical University. The
Trunkes of thc separate schools united, petitioned and
obtained n special Act of the Let'ls.ature, consolidating
those institutions and changing their names to that of the
Phdadclphla University of Medicine and Surgery,
March 15, 1865. All these various Acts aro publi-hed in
thc statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of tho I uilding
and museum was over ono hundred thousand dollars. It
will be observed that tho University, as now organized, is
thc legal representative of th j four Medical Colleges that
il has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, con?
fined to no dogma, nor attached lo any medical cliques,
but embraces in its teaching everything of value to (ho
profession.
Sessions.- It has two full sessions each year, commenc?
ing on the 1st ot October, and continuing until thc 1st of
January, os its first session, and from the 1st ol January
to the 1st ol April, as ita second ; the two constituting oue
tull course of lectures. It has also a summer session,
commencing the 1st April a,ul continuing until August,
for fha preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek,
Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy
Physiology, etc.
Tickets.-Tickets to tho full course of lectures $120. or
SOO for each session. For tho summer or preparatory
course 925. GraudaUng lee $30. To aid young men ol
moderate means, the University has issued five hundred
scholarships, which are sold to urst-coursc student* tor
$75. and to second-course e.udents and clcrgymon for
$50, etch constituting the holder a Ufe member, with the
perpetual privileges of tho lectures, and all tho teachings
of the school. Thc only additional lees are a j carly dis?
secting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5.
The Advantage! of Scholarships.-The student holding a
scholarship can enter tho College at any time during thu
year, attend as long as ho chooses, and re-enter tho inst!
tution as fiequenUy as desired.
It requires no previous reading or study to enter the
University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees
aro savod.
Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute other
business a port of the time.
The candidate for graduation eau present himself at
any time, and receive his degree as soon as qualified.
In casca stu jcut should hold scholarship and not be
ablo lo attcud lectures, it can b i transferred to another,
thus preventing any loss.
Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to
purchase scholarship tor them a year or more before
thea- attendance at thc University, can secure them by
advauciug one-half thu price aud pavia : tho balance
when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent
men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men by
^resenting them a scholarship, aud thus enabling them
lo nbt'tn an honorable profession.
The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians
and surgeons.' -J-'he University has associated With it a
large hospital clinh? wheo every form of m?ditai aud
surgical disease is upeic.'^d on aud treated in the pres?
ence of thc class.
