Biggs ?Co., between General W. R. Emory, commanding the de? partment of Washington, and Captain Adams, author of the "Siege of Washington," which occasioned much commotion at the time. Gen? eral Emory had entered the private office of the banking housa, and Captain Adams follow? ed him in, when the General asked the latter what he meant by following him to a gentle? man's office to insult him. Captain Adams was understood, in reply, to have accused the General of cowardice, when the latter drew a revolver, but, friends interposing, ho was pre? vented from using it. The affair caused con? siderable encitement." -The question of the rights of American naturalized citizens when abroad is now occu? pying a large share of the public attention. Meetings demanding protection for adopted citizens are being held in ah parts of the coun? try. It is reported that a foreign born citizen of Cincinnati has written to Secretan' Seward, stating that his name has been published in the papers of his native country as a deserter from the army, although he had left that coun? try when he was only five years old, eighteen yoare ago.

Great numbers of special constables have been sworn in for public protection in London, and a circular has been sent from the Home Department to the Mayors of about fiftv towns in England and Ireland, requesting that special constables may be sworn in for the preservation of property and the suppression of riotous proceedings. "Her Majesty's Gov? ernment,*' says the circular, "have receivedin foi marion which renders it in their judgment desirable that tho local authorities should bc prepared to meet any disturbances tl at may arise during the winter." The fear of Fenian outbreaks is moro widely extended at present than during any previous period of English history. -The latest allocution of the Pope, delivered in Secret Consistory on the 20th ultimo, is of tho nature ol' a congratulatory address.- He sees in the lecent difficulties whioh hi.ve beset the PontificalThrono, or rather bathe dispersal of those dangers, a subject for encouragement. He speaks ot the valor with which ' ho Papal authority has been defended, mentioning es? pecially the demonstrations in the French Legislature in favor of tho cause of his tempo? ral power, which he describes as ' splendid and magnificent." He mentions tho demon? strations of filial affection mado by the various Catholic nations, and by individuals, but re? turns with fervor to the.subject of tho French intervention. The Emperor he mentions by name, recounting how he "sent his valiant sold? iers, who, as well as their distinguished com? manders, with thc utmost zoal and ardor, es? pecially in the combats of Mentana ?md Monta Itotondo, rejoiced to como to tho aid of our soldiers, to fight courageously in their ranks, and bravo death for the Holy See, taus cover? ing their name with glory." In conclusion he says he shall not neglect to supplicate all blessings upon those who are such "intrepid defenders ol' the church." -It is a noteworthy fact that all the Now York papers, the Radical journals included, denounce the new Reconstruction r ?easure in the bitterest terms. Tho Herald closas a long article in tho following words: "Let the people ol' the North reflect on the unquesti mable fact that the danger in this matter is to their own Ub? erties, not to those of the Southern people; for the South is BO beaten down now that it is out of for tune's power; thero is hardi] a depth of political degradation that its people have not sounded under Radical militar}' ruis, and they seem to feel that any change may possibly be for the better. The danger is to those who are still free. The danger is that as we grow daily in anarchy, as we grow from bad to worse under the misgovernment of a Congress that forgets its plain duty to the ration in tbe pursuit of partisan schemes, the pe ople by and by may grow to envy oven those who live under the tranquility of a despotism, and may lock on with satisfaction when the commander of an army posted to keep down the Southern people (perhaps recruited to a gr ;at extent in tho Southern States) shall sudderdy march to Washington, seize the Capitol s nd disperse that chattering, jabbering, corrupt and con? temptible rabble, the Congress o:' the United States." CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17,1808. Dr. M .10 key's Ad dr es t. The address of Dr. A. G. MACKEY, on taking his seat as President of the Conven? tion, opens with the remarle that that body differed from all previouj State Con? ventions in South Carolina-j?r?f, because in the election of its members the ballot box was made accessible to ev ery man not disqualified by legal or political crime ; and secondly, because the f?ndame atal law, as framed by previous conventions, at once became a finality ; whereas the action of the present convention is to be revievred and ratified by the people. It is a little singular that Dr. MACKEY, in selecting points of contrast, should have chosen but two, and those rather imagi? nary than real. What are tho facts of the case ? We shall not now dispute the con? stitutionality of the Reconstruction a.cts, for upon that point there can be no contro? versy between us and Dr. MACKEY. He says the convention was convened by com? petent legal authority, else he would not have been there. We will concede this for the sake of argument, though we fail to see the cogency with which he seems to think the conclusion follows the premius. When the first Reconstruction act was passed, calculations were made to ascertain how many persons would probably be dis? franchised under its provisions. The esti? mate varied from twenty thousand to thirty thousand in all, in the ten unreconstructed States. Under the ruling of the Attorney General, the number would perhaps not have been as large. Cut n th every sup? plementary act the purpose of Congress be? came more and more evident, viz: to enfranchise tho negro and disfranchise the Southern white. Every conceivable difficulty was thrown into the way of the white man be? fore he could register, and every possible mcil i ty afforded the neg ro. The latte? could not only register wi h ease, but ha had every encouragement to register as often as he liked; the chances of his detec? tion being very few. So again at the time of the election. The white- population saw from the beginning that negro supremacy, and not reconstruction, was the object of the legislation of Congress, and they kept away from the polls. Had Dr. MACKEY, therefore, said that ia tho election to this convention the ballot was made accessible to every negro and inaccessible to almost every white man, his statement would have been much more correct. Dr. MACKEY says, secondly, that the action of the previous oenventions in the State were not submitted to the people for ratification, whereas in he present case the people will have this privilege. In an? swer to this we might 3ay, Dr. MACKEY to the contrary notwithstanding, that here? tofore the members of a convention were, in every proper sense of ;he word, the re? presentatives of the people, and enjoyed the full confidence of tl eir constituents ; therefore, to all intents and purposes, they represented thc sovereignty of the State; and it mattered little wi.ether or not their action was again brought before the people for ratification. The present convention does not, in any sense, represent the peo? ple of South Carolina, and it is eminently proper, therefore, that their action should be subjected to a close scrutiny and re vision, before it is made .he organic law of the State. But will the constitution framed by this convention be submitted to the people for ratification ? We think it more than doubt? ful. Dr. MACKEY bases his assertion upon the authority of the first Reconstruction act of Congress. Already we have four of these acts, and Mr. THADDEUS STEVENS voted against the fourth because "it does not go far enough." His views on this subject, and those of his wing o:* tho Radical party, have been explicitly slated, and directly contradict the assertion of Dr. MACKEY. A fifth Reconstruction aot may soon provide that the constitutions framed by the conven? tions shall be adopted by Congress, without any ratification by the people. The exi? gencies of the case, it is urged, call for this modification of the original act. The Southern States must bc represented in the approaching Republican National Conven? tion, otherwise the Radicals will fail to secure the nomination of their candidate, and as there is not time to carry out thc original programme of reconstruction, the Southern States must be smuggled into the Union by some hocus pocus, whether with or without constitutions matters little, pro? vided they are there to vote for the Simon Pure Radical nominee. If Dr. MACKEY wished to contrast former conventions and the one over which he pre? sides, he might have said: "Heretofore a convention represented thc virtue, the wis? dom, the intelligence, tho wealth of the State"-in short, all that coufers[greatncss, honor and lustre upon a commonwealth ; whereas the present convention represents none of these. Hitherto we had lawyers, judges, statesmeD, scholars and planters to make the organic laws of the State. The people in those days considered that these several callings were a good preparation lor a proper discharge of the solemn duties to which these gentlemen had been called. The delegates were men of education and character, who enjoyed the respect and the confidence of their constituents. We will not say that barbers, butchers, tailers, jailors, waiters, shoe-blacks and chimney sweeps, are not respectable. Far from it. We deem all labor honorable ; but we be? lieve that these last named callings are not those from which a people usually select the men to frame their constitutions. The Grand Jury and the Stamp Canea. Thc grand jury at the present term of the United States District Court, have had a number of cases of violation of the Internal Revenue laws presented to them, and have brought in some twenty "true bills" thus far. Yesterday another batch of the same sort was submitted to them, upon which the grand jury found "no bill." Thereupon, as will be seen in thc report of the proceed? ings of thc court in our local columns, the District Attorney threatened to challenge the grand jury before submitting any fur? ther cases to them, and object to all such of their number as may not have registered under the Reconstruction acts. It is very clear that the District Attorney, by this course, insinuates that the grand jury have perjured themselves in order to shield their fellow-citizens from the coneequences of an infraction of the law: We take a different view of the case. We have always been a law-abiding community, and we do not be? lieve that there is any disposition in this city to evade tho law. The grand jury, bound by their oaths to a proper discharge of their duty, may havo found extenuating circumstances which led to their not finding true bills in the cases presented them yes? terday. Of course we have no positive in? formation on the subject; but we under? stand thatF. A. SAWYER, Esq., Collector of Internal Revenue, was summoned before them as a witness. Ho may have testified to the fact that his office has sometimes for weeks been without certaiu denominations of stamps-say one cent stamps-the very ones wanted for sardine boxes, etc. He may have testified that retail dealers have been to his office and asked for these st amps, and had to come away without them. If so, we cannot wonder that the grand jury should have refused to lend itself to a system ol persecution injurious as it is cruel. The detectives were turned loose upon the com? munity at the very time the Internal Reve? nue Bureau in the city was without stamps. The concurrence of thc two circumstances may have been accidental, but wo do not see how the grand jury can be reasonably blamed for not seeing it in that light. Copartnersfyips.
