By TelegrapH. 4.- i SetTl 11 rm?. rrrT?BCRci, September 27.-Tho proceed? ings of tho Convention, yesterday, were animated. Several amusing speeches, ridi? culing the President, were listened to with favor. Resolutions wore passed hostile to the President. General Ratler made a characteristic speech, and Gonoral Willich denounced tho Cleveland Convention as made un from stragglers of tho army. A despatch was read, from General Fremont, which elicited throe cheers for bini, But Icr was the lion of the Convention. Among the resolutions presented by Coi. Streight, was one asking Congress to direct the Pre? sident to remove from the ?ate rebel States all arms and munitions of war not needed for present uso there, which was adopted, with ono vote in tho negative, the first and only ono of tho character cast in the Con? vention, and which created' a sensation. The resolutions also endorse tho constitu? tional amendment, and assert Mint its pro? positions aro tho mildest terms ever granted to subjugated rebels. That thc President has no right to a policy as against the legislative department of Government, and that bis acts n?jVe converted conquered rebels into impudent, claimants to rights which they have forfeited and places they deserted; that the right of the conquerer to legislate for the conquered, is the pub? lic law of all civilized nations. General Butler, in his remarks, said, as soon as these communities have shown a desire to be received back in an humble manner, that fitness for the clemency meted out to them, (because it is for men who have erred to be humble,) when they acknowledge their mistake, thev nhould be received, but not until then. Mr. Davis is, perhaps, by no means the worst man in the Southern Confederacy, but he chose to have the {dace of a representative man; ho served or an empire, and staked bis lifo on tho result; and let him pay the forfeit, [ap? plause] as an example for irfl time, that no mau shall plot treason in the halls of the Congress of the United States. [Ap? plause.] General Lee left the army of tho United States and wont into Virginia, and was at the head of the rebel forces of Vir? ginia before his State seceded, and carried her out at the point of the bayonet. Now, gentlemen, we bad au Arnold, and he es? caped punishment, but he did not remain here. We have, as it seems to me, an oqually guilty traitor, and the question to be decided in this country is, whether his surrender as a prisoner of war, when ho 'was captured, shall avail him against tho desertion of bi* flag, to take service in the arndes of the enemies of his country? [Cries of no! no!] 1 therefore, again say, that I would make an example of this man, so that no soldier hereafter shall ever be fouud to desert the liag of his country. [Good, and cheors.] Now, theil, fellow soldiers, what shall be done with thc sol? diers? What shall be done with him and tho secrets of bis commander?-[Cries of "Hang him-shooting is too gooir."]-for him who deserts for tho purpose of taking command, or bribed by a higher command in thc armies of the enemies of his coun? try? NEW YonK, September 27.-Henry J. Raymond bas withdrawn as a candidate for Congress. Gen. 1). Leadbotter, late of the Confede? rate army, died at Clifton, C. W.. of apo? plexy, Ins* evening.

WASHINGTON, September 27.-The Na? tional Intelligencer states, on authority, that Chief Justice Chase and Judge Under? wood have concluded that, because of the legislative action of the last Congress, the adjourned Court cannot be held at Rich? mond next month.

EDIT?OS: I noticed, in the Phonis, of tho 13th inst., some very sensi? ble, and, I think, at tho saino time, very reasonable remarks, made by Judge Reese, in a recent address to tho Grand Jury of Baldwin County, Georgia, in which be uses the following language: "I propose, briefly, to establish tho proposition that, in p.ll cases of debts contracted prior to tho 1st day of June, 18CG, where tho debtor has not a sufficiency of. property to discharge all his liabilities, without leaving his family comparatively destitute, it will bc to the interest of the debtor, to the interest of the creditor, and for the good of the coun? try, that them should bo a compounding between the parties at (?nee, they taking for their guide tho rule of conduct pro? scribed by Him who spake as never man spake, viz: 'AH ye. would that men should do unto you, do you also unto thom like? wise.' " Now, it seems to mc, that some mode ot this sort, if possible, should bo adopted, and made indirectly, if not directly, tho law, or at least the custom, of the country. But, one will inquire, how can a law be in? directly applied, where all laws must be direct and positive in their nature and ap? plication? Now, ? am no lawyer nor legislator, noi even tho son of either, but simply ash the question, for the sake of information aud bv way of suggestion. Could not thc Legislature of South Carolina levy a tax on all moneys collected by tho Sheriff, say tc au amount that would prohibit tho codec Won of any, thereby forcing creditors, in ?irectty, to a proper system of sealing 01 compounding all debts contracted previous, at least, to the Act of emancipation? Whether tho Legislature bas this right or not, I do not pretend to say. but leav< that matter for them, in their wisdom, b determine, lt seems to me, however, thal they have this, privilege, and as good i right lo tax an execution as a bab: of cot tou or a pack ot cards. There is certainly no interference between the debtor and tin creditor, so tar as the obligation of Cm couti act and tin: collection of tho monej is concerned The State simply comes in, as a thirc party, and says to the creditor: "Now when you collect this money by law, am I sutler it paid into the bands ?d' the Sherill j you pay mo seventy-five per cent, thereof as,your tax due me (the state) thereon." The ereditor may refrain from the eollec tion of such execution, if ho sees proper and make any compromise with his debto that he may chooa?. Tho debtor is by ir mean? released from lus obligation, but i still ni the completo power of thc crcdiloi But self-interest, the controlling lever tba governs all mankind, in nine cases out < ten, will force tho creditor to a prone and equitable adjustment. A course of titi sort, under existing circumstances, eoul not be anything but fair and just to bot debtor and creditor, and inevitably nim? bo the result ill the end. whether ?lone b law or otherwise. For, 1 think it a fair au safe calculation, to assert that thu slavi of SonthvCarolina constituted two-third of ber real wealth, and theiremaucipatio has lessened the value of her real est?t at least one-half; consequently dimiuisl ing the true wealth of ber land and form? slave holders at least seven-eighths of it legitimate value in 18(?U. Now, it isa wei established fact, that all law is founded o justice and equity, and where justice is n< meted out with an imffttrtial hand to a partios concerned, then law has foiled t accomplish thc end for which it was orig nally and virtually desigm d. lt is also clear that the land and negro? ol the whole Southern country constitutt the basis of, and, beyond a doubt, enter? largely into, th?: obligation of almost y contracts; for why were large laiul and sla' holders always sought after as securitic and universally acknowledged the best pi? ted ion on all bonds? Now, ailmitth theso as undeniable facts, and that .', negroes have all been totally, and tl lands thereby partially, obliterated property, tlirough constitatiana 1 ena? menton thc pait of thc State, is it. ii fair and just, between man and man, th some allowance should be made, and t creditor forced, either directly or ?rn rectly, and whether willing or not, to i ?Inc.- his claim in proportion to the gene: losses of his unfortunate debtor? For illustration: I propose t<> take plain and common sense eas?.:. In Janna: lWtiO, A owned thirty negroes, worth, at reasonable calculation, $20.000, and 4 acres of laud, richly worth $5,000. lit- hi: from B a family of negroes, say at $3,0 for wnich lu- gives his note, payable three years^with int? rest, animally, fr? ?late. He now justly ?. id very roasonol conclndcs that bo h<dds, including the : groes he bought from 15, at least $28,1 worth of property as a bonus against outstanding note of $3,000 due li. This, the time, seems to bo a perfectly sn fair and honest transaction on tho part both parties. A, according to all the s rounding circumstances, feels that he worth, including bis stock and other p porty besides land and negroes, at least l times as much as he owes 15; while 15, km ing this fact, fei ls perfectly secure, u bas not the least doubt but that A will \ his noto promptly at maturity, lint ti rolls on, and tho note falls due. In Jan ry, 18?3, A goes to 15, und proposes to t; up bis note, li very naturally inquii "with what kind of money do you prop to pay it?'' A as naturally replies, "C federate monty, of course." 1> con qut ntiy shakes bis bend, and say?, must have specie or mme: this Cot derate trash will soon play out, an could have realized tho gold for my grot s at tin; time 1 sohl them t.. you." course, this ends tin? matter for the ti being, and 15 still holds A's note, wort! this time mar $4,500. A's negroes, eluding those also purchased from 15 the meantime, have all boen ?mancip?t therefore, ho has nothing but his la stock, itc., left, with which to pay L5, i that, all told, sohl at sheriffs sale, wo not command $2,5C0. Now, I ask in conscience, is it fair, is it just, tba should give Up all ho has- -beggar his mily-bring himself to utter ruin -? still be in debt to 1? $2,000? Should IJ"M claim bo reduced in proportion to losses? l?ut some will say this would I repudiation. I would simply ask what i will it be in the end, if matters go or they ure now going, but down-right practical repudiation, ami that, brought on by extremo necessity-t pr?servation being thc first law of nat: Why do wc see so many of what li heretofore been mir most practical, el ge tic and business men, giving up in spondenoy, und readv to almost sacri what little balance of property they i have left, inldcprcciating land, stock, i to keep it from being levied <>n and sol. I the sheriff, in consideration of som o curdy debt? Why is this BO? (And j and will be more so. ) Simply because 1 I see no chance of escaping tho oftieei j tho law. but will take can- of No. ], j ; acting upon the old adage, that "hs ? loaf is better than no bread," will dis] j of their effects if but for a small consul lion, and pocket the proceeds, bidding! j fiance to all a. tta.'s, ami evervthing connected with the Courts of" Chane Follow them a littl.- further in your im nation, and you will ue<? many .? yea n -thc coming year idlers and pei drones, as to utility, on society, from tho fact that they becomes as a mechanic without tools, utterly useless, having no? thing to work with, and being ground down by ponderous judgments hanging over them, with no hope of their removal, very naturally conclude that they have nothing to work for. This is no fancy picture, but ono drawn exclusively from nature: and as tho artist, ih his studio, has his subject before him, just so these cha? racters loom up in bold relief before my imagination, and I could, at this moment, wer? it necessary, writo tho names of many such. I am ready to admit that thc word repu? diation, under all ordinary circumstances, grates harshly on my ear; but these are not ordinary circumstances, bnt, ot? tho contrary, the most extraordinary that over betel a people, and, I veuture to assert, such as never entered tho minds of our forefathers, in framing the Constitution of tho United States, wherein is prohibited tho passage of any law, by any State, im? pairing the obligation of contracts. Thc payment of all old and outstanding con? tracts is a nice thing to talk about and a fine theme for expatiation; but its accom? plishment, under existing circumstances, is entirely a different matter. In the first place, what have we to pay with? And, iu the second place, what do we expect to have for years to come, under thc present imperfect system of agrictdture? Our pro? perty, the bonus upon which all contracts were made, bas been wrested from us by the strong arm of military power, and rati? fied and sealed hy the highest civil au? thority of the State-a convention of the people. Hence it is evident that wo have been brought to our present conditiou by cir? cumstances entirely beyond our control, and should not be held responsible, in full, for contracts made on the strength of pro? perty thus destroyed. But, however mindi we maj- deplore the fact, unless something is done, and that speedily, our country is ; ruined beyond redemption. j lt is idle to talk about recuperation, and thc building up and restoring oT o ir po ! verty-stricken land to its former : tat us. The slaves of tho South were tho pillars upon which our prosperity rested, and they having been knocked from under the building, the whole fabric must conic down with ono tremendous crash, and all that we eau expect to gather from the ruins is a meagre support for ourselves and families. Look at the present devastated state- of our Country-the hundreds and thousands of acres of good, rich and tillable land lying idle and going to waste, for the waiit of cultivation. And still the cry of the farmer is, "I must reduce my operations, curtail my expenses, and live more within my means, for free negro labor will not pay." How aro our towns, villages and cities, laid waste by a ruthless enemy, to be re? built and restored to their former beauty and grandeur, but in and through the efforts of the farmer? I could say much more, Messrs. Editors, but have already trespassed too far on your patience. "Facts are stubborn things," and clearly from that, the present indebt? edness of the country cannot be fillly liquidated, unless tho principle in mathe? matics bo established, that one and one make two. But let us hope that .some? thing will turn up, and that some mod-> may 1/6 adopted in the cud hy which both parties-creditor and debtor may be en? abled, under ali tho circumstances, to re? ceive cipiity and JUSTICE.
