WASHINGTON, January 10.-The proceedings in the Supreme Court are attracting intense inteiest. An impression prevails that the bench will decide ?d vers ely to the constution ality of ?he Reconstruction acts. To-day Judge Black moved .'hat a day be ap? pointed for hearing tho case of ex p.irte Mo Cordle, but Mr. Stanbery objected to arguing the case on behalf of the government, because he had written an opinion sustaining the other side. The matter was deferred until the government could arrange lo appear by some other connseL Colonel McCordle ia the Vicksburg editor who was imprisoned by General Ord. A de? cision is looked for at an early day, and thc impression is very general that the writ will be granted, which would set aside the military law. A second case involves the constitutionality of the law by which Congress authorized the sale of captured property, and directed tho proceeds to be paid into the Treasury, at the same time providing that chiman ts might at the end of two years bring suit for its recovery through the Court of Claims. The case comes np through the action of the owner of a lot ot cotton, who brought suit directly against the officer m ?tiring the seizure. This latter pleads the law as his defeoce. What is known as the "Virginia case" affects the mode in which Congress can proceed in ratifying contracts between States. It comes from the State Court, on the motion of partios representing Virginia, and claims that the ces? sion of the counties of Berkley and Jefferson to West Vkginia is not valid, although ratified by Congress. West Virginia provided for re? ceiving these counties upon the consent of Virginia being given. This consent was ob fained, and Congress was asked to ratify the contract. Before the action of that body was consummated, Virginia withdrew her consent. But Congres paid no attention to this action, and proceeded to ratify the agreement. Vir? ginia now claims that such action was uncon? stitutional and comes into the Supreme Court to tost it. Proceedings in Congie??.

RICHMOND, January 10.-A military- ofiicor that was Bent to Halifax two weeks ago to quell an apprehended disturbance, reports to head? quarters that evidence of a military organiza? tion among the blacks was lound, and that Geo. Coleman, one of its officers, was arrested. The report also states that the idea among tho blacks that they were to have lands ?B now quite exploded.

Tlic Georgia Convention-An Address from General Meade -He Defines his Position. ATLANTA, January C.-A letter was read from Senator Sherman to a delegate, saying that the convention should have no fears but go ahead, and if additional legislati sn were needed, to state what it was and it wilt bo furnished. General Meade addressed the convention. He said he was sent to administer the Recon? struction acts, which were the law until de? cided otherwise by competent authority. Ho would therefore enforce thom faithfully for the hest interests of tho peopl 3, according tonis understanding of their provisions. He said J that it was a popular impression that he was bound to enforce the legishtion of the conven? tion, but this was not the fact, for prior to the adoption of a new constitution, such legisla? tion was not valid. The law gave him a dis? cretionary power, and he might enforce some measures, especially so ne well digested scheme of relief. , Ex-Governor Brown addressed a large au? dience last night advocating the Reconstruc? tion acts, which he said gave negroes suffrage, but not the right to vote. He defended Gene? ral Popes administration, and argued in favor of relief to State Banks. The Louisiana Convention? NEW ORLEANS, January IO.-The convention is rushing the constitution, and after getting as far as article 67 to-daj adjourned, to meet at 7 this evening.

Affairs in ike State. -?he Chester Standard says of salesday: m unusual number oi persons wera present, jotwithslanding the day was very unpleasant. rh?; eulo of property for taxes, was postponod for ten days. Such lands as were offered fetch? ed better "prices than heretofore, whicli indi? cate a healthier condition of the money market. -The Abbeville Banner says : Sale Day pass ?d off without anything of special interest oc iurring. There was en unusually large nura jer ol persons in attendance. Three tracts of and were sold by the Sheriff-one tract of 150 acres for $285 ; one tract of 442 acres, $175; mother tract of 96 acres, for $50. Only one jouse and lot was soil by the Commissioner, [tho Pelot place in Gre inwood), which brousht ?150. Some property changed hands at pri? vate sale, and good prices were generally ob :ained. -The largest and most commodious man? sion in fc'dgcfiold District, that of Benjamin Bettis, Esq., at the Pirie House, was burned to die ground on Tuesday morning, tho last day jf 1867. The dre in this case is supposed to iiave originated, in some way or other, from ?lie burninii-out of the chimneys. The fire aad progressed so far before being discovered that it was found inpossible to extinguish or arrest it. The costly md elegant furniture of the uppor rooms was consumed with tue build? ing ; that below stairs was rescued. No in? surance. The loss cannot be less than fifteen thousand dollars. -Tho Edgefield Advertiser speaking of sale day in that district anya : Tho day was unusal ly quiet. No public sales. An auction beguiled the roving and rudderless blacks. Theso blacks are wandering from pillar to post hunt? ing homes, work, bread. They are desolate and destitute ; and are willing to take whatever is offered them. Wc. hear no moro of tho league-oath to take not less than ten dollars n month or one-lulf the crop, Wo conversed with many fellow-citizens from the country planters-and, with a single exception, each one told us ho had already hired his hands for the present year, and had hired only half aa many as during tho past year. Wo loamed that any number of able-bodied laborers could be had for fifty dollars per year with provis? ions, or for a third of tho crop. The Boston Journal of Cberoietry says that encil writing may be fixed almost as indeli ly aa ink by passing the moistened tongue over it. Even breathing slowly over tho lines, after writing, render.} them much loss liable to erasure than when not subjected to that process. Things in Washington. LABOR AND PRODUCTION AT THE SOUTH-NEW SCHEME OF CO-OPERATION WITH THE FREED? MEN. Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes under date of the 8th instant: In view of the present unsettled condition of affaira in the cotton States, owing to the scar? city of provisions, tho high price of living and tlie deraDged condition of labor, a number ot prominent men in Mississippi, Arkansas and j Louisiana have taken the matter in hand and devised a plan which is said to moot with gene? ral approval by their people, and is sanctioned by General Hancock, and also by General Ord. just prior to tho latter's removal.' It is propos? ed to organize a kind of joint stoat concern in each county or parish, with an executive com? mittee for each to minago tho afiairs. Four element.! will constitute tho capital-land, farming implements, provisions and labor, the planters to contribute ns their share the land and farming implements, and thc negroes, OB theirs, labor, and arrangements to bo made for obtaining the provisions. Tho negroes, as contributing one-fourth of the capital, are to be entitled to ono-fourth ot the profits, if any, and are not to bo called upon to sustain any proportion of losses, should such occur. An effort is to be made to obtain permission of Major-General Howard, of tho Freedmen'b Bureau, to allow thp ration.? issued from the bureau for the States named to be placed under the control of tho difforent executive committees. An order was recently issued by General Ord directing tho arrest as vagrants, Bubject to the military authority, of all negroes who refuse to go to work ?fier th: first ot this year, and it will be sought to make this provision apply to all the States named above. In furtherance, of this object, Hon. Bobert J. Walker, Governor Sharkey, of Mis uirBippi, and Mr. Austin, called at the Execu? tive Mansion last night and had an interview with tho President, when the wholo subject was thoroughly explained. It ie. probable, however, that the President will take no action in tho matter, as it is rather regarded as com? ing within tho purview of Congress and the Freedmen' Bureau. To the same effect the correspondent of tho Boston Post says : An effort, which promises to be successful is now being made to restore in some measuro the shattered system of Southern labor, and to combine its various elements so as to save tho country from the destruction with which it is threatened. A delegation of influential and in? telligent citizens of tho South are now hero, and have submitted a scheme to President Johnson. The plan proposed is satisfactory to General Howard, and ho asks its approval so far as to secure the cordial co-operation of the government. It is understood that Generals Hancock and Ord bo. h endorse tho idea, and have so stated officially to General Howard. The scheme proposed to be adopted is in substance as follows: It is assumed that there are four elements, nearly equal, which must be properly combined to secure s access in planting, viz: land, stock and agricultural im? plements, provisions and labor. In each coun? ty is to be appointed an executive' committee, through which all requisite preparations for the cultivation of tbo soil of that county will be obtained, and for the payment of which tbc crops will bo pledged. Tho planters are all to unite in the arrangements, and their lauds aro subjected to the rules laid down by the com? mittee. They aro to furnish all the necessary Btock and farming implements, and secure tho necessary provisions for all who chooso to toko part as laborers in tho system. Tho plan brings in every negro who is willing to work for his living, and those who are not will be turned over to the military authori? ties as vagrants and compelled to labor on aomo of thc public works in order to Sreveut their plundering those who aro en eavoring to support themselves. Aftor pay? ing the expenses ot the crop, if a y surplus , romains, it is to be divided as before indicated, tho laborer receiving one-fourth part; but if there be an actual loss the planter is to be the > sufferer alone. Here we have exhibited n. mm. b?nation of labor ana capital, with thc great advantage on the side of lal or, in not being 1 responsible for any losses which may occur, i To secure the success ol this system, tho mer? chants of New Orleans lend their credit to tho ? executive committees of the several counties, . who, by this moans, can negotiate with Western houses for all the provisions . needed for tho first year. What is now ' desired is tho hearty cooperation of tho Freedmen's Bureau. Its agents must not bo allowed to step in and defeat tho pur? poses of tho plan by interloping" with its opera? tion. Whenever a negro who has joiuo i thc association becomes Lazy and renison to work, ho is to bo reported to thc executive commit? tee, and if they find in him no prospect jf a re? form, ho goos to the military commander and ceases to be a drono in tho community of work? ers. It ie further proposed that Gen. Howard shall distribute through these several execu? tive county committees, whatever he may have to bestow upon tho negroes in tho nay ol cloth? ing and rations. Tuuso contributions might thus bu made an incentivo to industry instead of bei ig as now, a reward for idleness. Such is tho outline of the plan now submitted lo the President, and which it is bettered may provo the salvation of the South, if carried out in the spirit of its inception. HEAVY. EXPRESS BOBBERY-ARREST OF THE BOBBERS.-Tho ?xpress mossenger between Montgomery and Mobile, on Friday night last, crmmitted a robbery of seventy thousand dol? lars, and on his return to Montgomery, on Sunday morning last, concocted tho f jlfowing story : Tiiat whiio the train was near Perdido ?tation about two hours before day, thc ex? press car was entered by two robbers, who tirod several shots at the messenger, thou forci? bly throw him down aud procured tho keys to tho safe; that then ho rang the car boll aud the robbers j um pod off tue train with the seventy thouaun.t dollar.*. No other person was in'thc car during tho night, it hoing con? trary to tho regulations of the company to allow any one to ride ir. tho express car," ex? cept the messenger himself. The name of tho unfortunate robber is Tbos. W?lfo, und he had Leen iti the eui ploy of tho company only u few months. Ho showed his coat containing several buhot holes, and his tale altogether waa very plausible. Mr. Born at onco telegraphed tho fact to Col. O'Brien, at Augusta, superintendent of tho company, who immediately came to Montgomery willi a de? tective Lel?n^ing to the company. Colonel O'Brien and tho detective at onco set to work to ferre' out the matter, and about 12 o'clock last night found thc greater portion of the mo? ney in Wolfe's own house. The guilty man confessed tho crime, and was committed to jail. _ _ _ Tho inauguration of Governor Bowie, "the first exr-cutive elected under tho new consti? tution of the re-enlrauchifcdpcoplo of Mary? land," took place on tho 8th inst, at Annapolis. In bis address thc Governor avows briefly and comprehensively, hut with great energy of ex- . pression, thc views of national affairs express? ed bv tho people ol Maryland at tho recent election, including tho restoration of tho Southern States to the Union, tho control of suffratro by the States themselves, white su? premacy all the country ovor, tho cultivation of fraternal lovo between tbc Slates, &c. Thc voice of the people in all tho late elections is referred to os sustaining tho course of thc President in his issue with Congress. Sympa? thy with tho condition of our neighbor Vir? ginia, and of the whole suffering South, is ex? pressed in language which does honor to tho heart and eloquence of tli6 speaker, and thc hope expressed that they will, ero long, bc re? stored to their proper status by wise and just, national legislation. _ THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS.-This jour? nal has commenced tho new year in oarncsl by a wholesome reduction for subscription. Whilst THE NEWS is now tbc cheapest, it is also ono of Hiebest newspapers iu this wide country. Its columns daily attest the ability and brilliancy given them by its gentlemanly conductors, whilst tho fairness of its course must bo commended by all.

The El ghth of January Banquet. LETTERS FROM EX-PRESIDENT PTEBOE, SECRE? TARY. H'CULLOCH, AMD HOM. QEOBOE E. PEN? DLETON. The main points of the celebration of the 8th of January at Washington have already been reported by telegraph. The following letter from Ex-President Pierce will, however, repay perusal : LETTES FIlOM EX-PRESIDENT PULE CE. CONCORD, N. H., January 4,1868. GenUemrn : If it, waa in my pow. as it will not be, to accept your invitation thc celebration of tho fifty-third anniversary be bittle ot New Orleans, it would afford e pleasure on many grounds, Still it is only i apparent that noone can sit at your banqu. table without contrasting, with painful emo? tions, the condition of our country now with what it was during the eight years that tho croat defender of tba Crescent city was at the head of the government. By whom was that battle fought? Where were the homes of the men the result of whose steady courage on that eighth of Januuy car? ried, as tho uews Bpread, not only a fresh feel? ing of national security, but shod a radiant gladness in every hamlet, every valley, and along every hillsido throughout the laud ? I remember well the relief and joy with which my young ear caught tho sound. In sparsely set? tled towns families assembled together; parents wont witn the:r children to join in a prayer of than! fulness, and then to send up their united shouts for the groat deliverance. Wore not the soldiers under ibo command and leadership of General Jackson the fathers and grandfathers ol' citizens now disfranchised, rained m estate, aud in the want and Buffering of their families paralyzed and held down by a despotism cloth? ed with the authority of might to execute upon the weak and helpless the behests of vengeance? I am sure, especially if I were with you, I could not help c utraBtiug the career of Ten? nessee, her political and domestic tranquility, ber increasing wealth and power during the life of the sago and hero whoso memory is em? balm od in tho hearts of all who will be at your banquet, with the deplorable humiliating reign of absolutism in the State which pre-eminent? ly ho loved and adorned. It cannot be other? wise than salutary at all times, and particular? ly on such an occasion as you celebrate, to recall tho events of our foreign wars, from tho revolution to the treaty of peace with Mexico, and to remember that the blood of gallant men North and South, fighting side by side in a common cause, rain ?led on every battle-Held. If the prosperity of all the colonies, and later of all the States, and the united prowess of their people were essential in these con? flicts, have they ceased to be so now ? Will they bo less so should we be required in any complication of events to assert and maintain by force of arms on sea and land the rights of American citizens ? Whatever may be before us, let as hopo that the period is not remote when the Union shall bc in fact restored, oaoh State standing forth as the co-equal of every other State, with "dignity, equality, and rights unimpaireJ." Tiioro aro, it seems to me, markod and cheeriug indications that the peo? ple are rising in their majesty with united strength to deliver from misrule their country and themselves. Signs that integrity and economy in the conuuet of publio affairs, in? stead of profusivo peculation and abounding fraud, are by their command to be the rule again; that taxation is to bo equalized; that the bondholder is not to screen himself behind exemption, and thus cast upon another, of more humble means, his fair proportion ot the public borden. You, at least, will welcome the conviction that the time is at hand when statesmanship, humanity and patriotism will botter meet the demands of the nation than wild theories out? side of the constitution, a wicked malevolence toward our neighbors if they happen to bo of our raco, and a selfish clinging to power, place and plunder. With high consideration, your friend and ser? vant, FRANKLIN PLERT-tt. a. letter was aiso read from Secretary Mc? culloch, of the Treasury Department, in the course of which he takes occasion to say : I consider tho restoration to the Southern States of equal rights with the other States un 1er the constitution as essential to the exis? tence of our republican institutions, and to the improvement, if not to the maintenance, of tho national credit; and that, in my judgment, this is unlikely to be effected by any policy differ? ing materially from that which wa* substanti? ally inbuguratrd by Mr. Line?la', and attempt? ed to be consummated by tho present Executive. As civil liberty is not the offspring of military power, but ia in danger of being destroyed instead of being fostorod by it. I have not favored the establishment of military governments in tho Southern States, as true Union sentiments cannot bo renewed in these States by a geuoral ostracism of their prominent and trustworthy men. I havo regarded with great apprehen? sion tho enactment aud continuance of laws which excludo from F?deral offices and from tho ballot citizens, of ability, integrity and in? fluence, without whose co-operation a reliable reuniou of the States is not to be expected ; and behoving, as I do, that the question of suffrage bhould bo controlled by the States, and not by the Federal Government, and that the cloctive franchise cannot bo safely be? stowed upon a race rocently in bondage, and, with few exceptions, utterly unprepared to uso it intelligently, I have deeply regretted the f legislation which deprives a part of the States c ot rights heretofore enjoyed by them, and still t exercised bv others, and which, by ignonug t all distinction between races BO dissimilar, aud by its sweeping disfranchisement of cer? tain classes, virtually subordinates the su- 5 pcrior to tue inferior race. I gave to the I Executive policy of reconstruction my hearty approval before it becanio a party question, c ?iud I have nover doubted its wisdom or its practicability. A diff?rait policy lias beon adopted and is 1 now being tried. Should it bo successful in t rumoring a t rue Union sentiment in tho South- e cn: States, in stimulating industry, in increas- r ins production, and in establishing harmony . between tho races, tho wisdom or Congress will be fully vindicated aud their action will bo r approved by tho peo.jlo, and by none moro heartily thau by those' who now disapprove it. & Should it tail in accomplishing these most de- f sirablc results, thc embarrassments and suf ferinp which now exist must bo endured for a soaso;., and they will doubtless bo aggravated I by their coutmuanco. But they will not bc t lusting; tho different sections of the U lited States are not to be permanently antagonized, i nor is tue essential character of our institu? tions to be changed by tho war, nor by the troubles whicli have followed, nor by those which are still to bo encountered. There is I power enough in tho govorument to stand any t trials to which it may bo subjected, and intelli? gence enough in tho people to correct auy er? rors that may have been committed by their agents. A lotter from the Hon. G. H. Pondleton, 1 after expressing regrets for his inability to at- 8 tend, adds: Tho attempted Afrironization of the ten : Southern States, under tho false pretence of reconstruction of tho Union; *ho utter subver? sion of tho constitution to accomplish this end; tho profligacy arid corruption pervading many 1 branches of tho public service, have brought o out their proper results. Tho reaction against , tho revolutionary violcnbe and licence of thc past few years has at last commenced. Its c progress will bo aided by a worthy contempla- 1 liou of tho life and character of Jackson-of ? his fervent patriotism, bis persistent energy, f his unyielding courage; of the fidelity with t which ho maintained the rights and dignity and equality of the States, at tho same time that bo 1 enforced obedience to tho constitution. It will bo well to remember by whom and * whero and for what purpose tho last battle of * tho war of 1812 was fought, and sido by sido t with that recollection to place the fact that i thc State then saved from a foreign foo is now governed by military power, in order to com- f pel its people to adopt a constitution which < they do not approve, aud to establish institu- < tioDS which they abhor. ? Tho retrospect will evoke sympathies and awaken sensibilities in the midst of which we may hopo that hatred and bitterness and ven- 1 geance will melt away, and that kindness and 1 good-will and charity will cemont the Union by l tho tics, interest, and affection and content- , mont which alone can effectually constitute us , one people. The King of Siam has conferred upon Sir John Bowring the title of "Phraya Siamitre Malia Yosa" for services rendered to tho Siamese. This is the highest di eui ty that cnn be homo by a foreigner, andie certainly rather a heavy distinction. QUATTLEBAUM-DANNERLY.-By Rev. J. W.
