LONDON, March 8.-The debate in Parlia? ment on the Alabama chums was very pacific. Stanley defended England's right to recognize belligerents.. John Stuart Mid said, "He re? garded the present condition oi the question as the result of a national mistake. The real question was whether England was bound to prevent such expeditions as that of the Ala? bama. He denied that the United States Gov? ernment claimed or could claim that the recognition of tho South was a violation of law, but only that it was an unfriendly, rash and unpiecedented act. The American Gov? ernment only pressed the pomt for the pur? pose of showing that, bul. for the unfriendly action of England, the Alabama depredations would not have occurred." Mr. Gladstone in? ferred from the closing sentences of Lord Stanley that communications between the two governments had not closed, and that friendly feelings between the United States and England would be preserved. He concluded by saying if his inference was correct tbo whole country would support Lord Stanley in a final and honorable settlement of the case. A large meeting of the friends of Disraeli was held at Lis official residence last night. Nearly all the leading tory members of Parlia? ment were present. Tho proceedings were not public, but the meeting is regarded as a favor? able indication of the strength of the new pre? mier.

In consequence of tho insecure condition of the country, the mime tors of foreign powers had left Osaka. Tho advance ot the British army in Abys? sinia was within fifteen days' march of Mag dola. Gen. napier met Eassal, the Tigre Chief, on the 20th of February. He made an offer of peace, which was accepted by the British commander. The enemy shot some stragglers from-the Queen's forces, and mutil? ated their bodies. Three hritish officers were missing. King Theodoms was advancing from bis camp with 30,000 soldiers. Menelek, sup? ported by other chiefs, was said to have in? vested the royal stronghold of Magdola with 40,000 men. LONDON, March 7.-Consols 9S?. Bonds quiet at 71*.

Theaggregato business of lest *eek, generally speaking, compares unfavorably "ri th that of ita predecessor. Tho political "imita? tion at Washington, no doubt, bas a restrain? ing influence; yet, making all reasonable allow? ances on that head, business is very slow. The only activity is among the dry goods dealoi-3, and even these are complaining of a falling off in orders. The blocking up of the roads, im? peding travel, no doubt, is keeping back many country customers, who otherwise would have been here. As the month wears on, it is be? lieved there will be more doing all around. Trade will be late, but it may be greater in bulk on the heels or the season than it would be were it active at present. -England will have to pay over a million and a half pounds sterling a year simply for the water used by its Abyssinian army. It has to be distilled at a cost of two shillings a gallon. THK CONVENTION. FORTY-FIFTH DAY. THE WOKE CLOSING UP-THE FIRST ABTICLE OF THE CONSTITUTION-INTERESTING DEBATE-A CUBIOUS ORDINANCE-HOW WE ARE TOBE MAN? AGED-THE BULL TAREN BY THE HORNS. ?C.. AC, AO., The session of the convention on Saturday was occupied chiefly in patching and repairing the work already done. Somo discussion en? sued upon an amendment to the Miscellaneous Provisions of the Constitution scouring to married women their Tights of property, and the section being amended passel to its third reading. The following ordinance was likewise adop? ted: AN ORDINANCE TO CREATE A BO ABD OF LAND OOSI SH8SIONERS. SECTION 1. It shall be the duty of the Gene? ral Assembly to provide for the establishment of a Board, tj be known and designated as Commissioners of Public Linds, of which Board the Comptroller-General of the State shall be a member, and to denne the powers and dut .es of said Board, and tis tho compen? sation ot the members thereof, aud to provide for the current, expenses thereof. SEO. 2. The Commissioners of Public Lands shall havo authority, under regulations provi? ded by law, to purcnase at pubnc sales, or oth? erwise, improved aud uuiuipruvod real estate within this State, wiii h, in tue judgment of such Commissioners, shall be suitable for tho purpose intended by thu fourtb section of thij article : Prooided, That the aggregate amount of pun-haae in any fiscal year shah not exceed tuc , ar vai?e of the public stock of this State created and appropriated by tbe General As? sembly for the purposes contemplated in tho fourth section of tnis article for such ?scal ?ear: Andproviaeu also, That the rute at which any such purchase shall be made shall not exceed seventy-nve per c. nt. of the value of the land so purchased, including the im? provements thereon; such valuation to be as? certained m the manner hereinafter provided for by law. S.e. 3. The General Assembly shall have au? thority to issue to said Commissioners public stock ot t.. is SUto to such amount as it may deem expedient; which stock, oz the proceeds thereof, the Commissioners sim ll have author? ity to apply in payment of all purchases made in accordance wi tn the second section of tn is article : Provided, That such public 3tock shall not be negotiated at a rate less than tho par value thereof. < SEC. 4. The aaid Commissioners shall have authority, uuder such regulations as shall bo established by the Gcnerui Assembly, to caUee tho said landa to bo surveyed aud laid off into suitable tracts, to be sold to actual settlers, subject to the condition that one-half thereof shad be placed under o ul ti vat ion wi tu ie thr?e j years from the date of any auch purchase; and. that the purchaser thereof snail annually pay interest upon the amount of such purchase money reu.aining unpaid, at the ruto of seven p.r cent, per annum. And a. so ali taxes imped? ed tnereon by or under tho United States or of this State; and, in addition thereto, shall in every year after the third from the date ot saiu purchase, pay such proportion of the principal of said purchase as snail bc required by the. General Assembly. The titles to said lands shall remain in the State .until the amount ot said purcnase shall be paid principal and in? terest. But a cortificate of such purchaso shall bo issued to the purchaser, which, sub? ject to the condition of ?aid purchase, shall be assignable after three years from the date thereof. SEC. 5. All landa purchased by said Commis? sioners, or the proceeds of tho sales thereof, shall bo and remain pledged for the redemp- 1 .ion of the public stock issued under sectiou i Jurd of this nrtieltv . But ti*? <ioo<?ai Asaom jl v shall have authority, subject to sricn nun md pledge, to make upon the faith and credit )f said fund further issues of public stock; but : ?ie stock issued as last aforesaid, and tho pro- . leeds thereof, shall be teed exclusively for the :edomptiun of the public debt of the State Hitstanding at tho dato of such issues aud vhi.'h shall not be funded. i SEO. h. The General Assembly shall provide >y law fur the soeuiifcy of the funds in the ianda of tho Couimist ionora of Pub.ic Lands, tnd tor the accountability of such officers; and mall require bouds to be given thorefor. An ordinance to provide for the ratification )f tho constitution and ordinances, and for the election of certain officers, received Aa nrat and second reading. It will be observed that tho ordinance proposes to submit to the people all tho ordinances adopted by the convention, tho constitution itself, and tho names of tho re? spective candidates for office, on ono and tho same ballot. Tho object of tho party managers in making this curious move is apparent at a glance. It insures thc success of the regular nominees, iestroya tho prospects of any dissatisfied aspi? rant for power win may intoud to run as au in? dependent candidato, and maintains intact tho integrity of tho party. But the greater end achieved by tho ordi? nance is that it will confino thc ratification of tho constitution to tho colored men and tho tow white Republicans who may be dragooned bo the polis. Thousands of whito men in the interior who might have voted for thc constitu? tion per se, will not sustain it with a dead weight of ordinances, some of which are of questionable legality, and others oro contrary to thoir own personal interest. Thousanda might havo voted for certain of tho ordiuancea and probably for the constitution likewise who will not now consent, in any larger degree, to identify themselves with the Radical party by voting for ita white and colored candidates. It will bo regarded as rather "crowding the mourners," and they will leave tho freshly fledged politicians to run their own funernl. A few of tho membors foreseeing these re? sults, attempfod to induce the convokion to submit the questions of constitution and ordi? nances on separate ballots, but there aro so many weak-kneed con di ila tes on the floor who seem to be afraid they will not'be elected un? less their names aro tacked on in tho ratifying process, that tho proposition loiled und the ordinance was passed in its present shape. It reads as follows : AN OBDTNANCE TO PROVIDE FOB TEE RATIFICA? TION OF TBE CONSTITUTION AND ORDINANCES, AND FOR THE ELECTION OE CERTAIN OFFICERS. \Ve. the people of South Carolina, by om* dolentes in c.invention met, do ordain, That on thc 14th, 15th and lGlh days of April, ians, the constitution and ordinances adopted by this convention shad bo submitted for ratifica? tion or rejection to tho registered voters of this State; aud also that, at tho bani J time, an election shall begbcld for Governor. Lieuten? ant- Governor, Adjutant and Inspector Gene? ral, Secretary ot Siatc, Comptroler-Gcneral, Treasurer, Attorney-General, Superintendent of Education, and members of thc General Assembly. And, furthermore, that at tho same time on election aiiall bo held in each Congres? sional District for a member of thc House of JReoresentative.e of tho United Stu toa Congress. SEC. 2. That tho election for the ratification or rejection of thc constitution aud ordinances and tor the al'oremenlioucd officers, shall be held at auch places and uuder such regula? tions as may be prescribed by tho Command? ing-General of this military "district, and the roturns made to him as directed by Jaw. SEC. 3. That in voting for or against tho adoption of the constitution and ordinances, the words ''For constitution and ordinances/' or "Against constitution and ordinances,"shall be written or printed on the ballot of each veter; but no voter shall vote for or against the constitution and ordinances on a separate.b;dlut lrom that cast by him for officers. SEC. I. That a Board of Commissioners is hereby appointed, to consist of Messrs. E. W. M. Mackey. F. L. Cardoza, A. J. Ransier, C. C. Bowen, who shall keep an office for Iho trans? action of business in thc City'of Charleston, and who may employ tuch clerical forcea aa may bo necessary, and who are empowered to causo to bo appointed suitable persons for managers of elections in each county in tho State to hold the election provided tor by this ordinance. Said commissioners shall havo power to use all tho necessary moans tose coro a fall and fair vote npon the constit tion and ordinanc68 and the election of c neera. . 8EO. 5. In case of tho death, resignation, i inability to Bervo of any member or memba of said Board of Commissioners, the Preside] of thiB Convention shall have power to ? such vacancy. SEC. 6 That should tho said Board of Con missioners deem it necessary or expodien they are hereby authorized to extend in ar county or counties, election precinct or pn cincts, tho number of days during which ti election aforesaid is to be. held from three t flv\ ?SEC. 7. That within thirty days after the rai 1 ideation of this constitution, an election sha be held in-and for each county, at such tim ' arid places, and und r such regulations asma be prescribed by said Board of Commissioner for the election of all county officers require by this constitution to be elected by tho pee pie. And tho said Board shall also have at thoiity to call elections for ad municipal off eera, at present elected by the people, ab th same time, and subject to suob regulations a the said Board may prescribe, noliaconsistcj with this constitution or tue charters of 6ucl municipal bodies. And at such election every qualified elector under the provisions o this constitution may vote for all officers to b elected. SEO. 8. That the commissioners herein ap pointed shall receive for their service five dol lars per day tn United States currenoy, or iti equivalent m bills receivable of this State. ?EC. 9. That the President of this conven tion, upon the requisition of said Board o Commissioners, shad have power to draw fron the Treasury of the State all incney necessary to pay tho expenses incurred under this ordi naneo, and which ihe General commanding thii military district is not authorized to assume. SEC. 10. That the said Board of Commission ers, as soon as they have camed out the pro visions of this ordinance, shall mako to tb< General Assembly a report of their proceed inga, and a statement of the moneys exp.udec by them. In tho debate which occurred on the reading of the ordinance, Mr. J. M. Rutland said it did not appeal clear to him that the ordinances passed were tho groundwork upon whioh to rest the consti? tution, and to submit them t the peoplo with the constitution requiring the same vote upon both was inconsistent. He therefore begged the convention to separate them. He was op? posed to throe or four cf the ordinances, be? cause be did not behove they would be sus? tained in any court of law; nevertheless he supposed under this act of tho convention he would be obliged to vote for thom ail Mr. N. G. Parker bolieved it to be both in? discreet and unnecessary to submit tho ordi? nances to the people. They would bo ec forced by. the commanding general until the new gov? ernment came into power. Such waB the legal advice given him, and for that reason he would move to strike out the word ordinances and let it stand that the constitution only shall be sub? mitted to the people. Mr. C. P. Leslie thought it t\ quite as proper to submit the ordinances to . people as tho names of candidates. Mr. B. 0. Duncan said it seemed to ir (hat the whole thing was a plan got up to a "sat the ordinances, some of whioh were not po. . lar in the conveution, as for instance the oro. nance annulling slave debts. A. J. R?nder waa unwilling to trust any or? dinance separately to the people; on the con? trary, he was in favor bf making overy ordi? nance passed a part of tho constitution. This convention hats no Ipm^l^ya p^wnrn. Xtt!au? DOSI ia kxipoiib, D a niel j-5 tir Drum e a constitu? tion, and under that a civil government. There? fore anything in the nature of a law passed by the body ought to be incorporated in the con? stitution. lt had boen done in Mississippi, Missouri and elsewhere, and could properly be done herc. Mr. E. W. M. Mackoy said tho Gentleman from Barnwell, Mr. Parker, could not deny that thero were grave doubts as to tho validity of some of these ordinances. Mr. Parker explained that the only reason why be would not send the ordinances to the people was that ho was afraid to submit them. Mr. Mackey. Don't the gentleman know there aro thousands of people in tho State who are opposed to tho constitution, yet, because they owe money for tho purchase of slaves and desire to bo protected from paying it, would vote for the constitution and all thc ordinances passed by the convention.? I theroforo cou tend that iustead of losing votos by submitting tho ordinonoes wo shall gain four or five thou? sand. Moreovor there are ordinances of great importance to tho party which it ia well should bo adopted, and it is essential'that they, should be sustained by tho same vc'e which ratifios tho constitution. Again, IF THERE IS DOUBT AS TO THE VALIDITY OF THE ORDINANCES IS IT NOT BETIER TO SUBMIT TUX ll ALONO WITH THE CON? STITUTION AND FOREVER PLACE THEM BEYOND DOUBT ? IF THE PEOPLE RATIFY THESE ORDI? NANCES, NO COURT CAN DECIDE THAT THEY ARE ILLEGAL 1 Considerable discussion took place on tho 4th Section, a motion having been made by Hurley to strike out the names of the Board ot Com? missioners of Elections. A. J. Bander said his name was used with? out his knowledge or consent. E. W. M. Mackey said tho ordinance hail l*u submitted to Gen. Cjnby and met with his ap pi ovai ; that the Board was simply advisory in character, and having an ofl&ce in tho Citadel would be abio to co-operalo-wiLh thc military authorities. The amendment of T. Hurley fading bc moved to y trike out tho entire section, on thc ground that tu:ro was no probability thc com? missioners would either dio or resign. That motion was not agreed to. On Section 8 a debate occurred as to tho pro? priety of reduciug tho 6alury to $8 a day. J. M. Runion said he would bo very glad to board a!, homo and get three dodars a day, and thought plenty of people could be found to fill the office at that price. ' ' C. P. Leslie was opposed to so much expen? sive machinery. First, it was too permanent; secondly, it was invested with too much power; third, it was composed of a mutual admiration society from Charleston-why couldn't they have selected somebody, from Colurrtbia anti clsowhero as well?-aud fourth, it involved the necessity of a clerical force, travelling ex? penses, and a great many other things, which, before the work was done, would make a hole in tho public pause to which lhere was no bot? tom, &c. None of tho ar.iondnicnts prevailed, and thc ordinance was read a third time and ordered to bo engrossed. THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
