Frsday Morning, November 22.1867.
The Soutnek-n Convention?.
The telegraph informed ns, yester?
day, that the Alabama Convention
he*! receded frota it? previous pro?
hibitory and disfranchising action,
and that this modification was occa?
sioned by the counsels of the leaders
of the party in Washington. No
matter what was the cause which led
the body to take this step in a con?
servative direction, we are gratified
that it has been taken, and we trust
that it will have its due influence on
the course of the other State Con?
ventions yet to assemble. The action
Of Macao CouvoiitiunH will be watched
with profound solicitude, not only by
the South, but by the North and
West. That action, of course, more
immediately concerns the Southern
people, not only in their political,
but their material interests; yet its
effects must extend to ev?'-y section,
as the injury done to the people of
one cection must be felt in a greater
or lesa degree by the people in every
part of the country. ? Moderation,
therefore, should characterize all the
proceedings of these bodies; consti?
tutions should be adopted not merely
to promote the interest of a party,
but for tho benefit and welfare of the
States, and for the protection of the
just rights of all, without distinction
of race. If this be done-if disfran?
chisement of any set of men, for
former political opinions or actions,
be abandoned-if the bill of rights
adopted by these conventions in
framing their constitutions are based
upon those of other States having "a
republican form of government,"
and the disposition made manifest
that it is the desire of the party now
in power at the South and in Con?
gress, that the peoplo-the masses
who will be chiefly instrumental in
framing these State organic laws
desire to concede equal rights to all,
and to live in peace and harmony,
and become co-workers for the wel?
fare of their section; then will tho
road to reconstruction be made plain
jj and easy, and tho now excluded
States, being re-organized, take their
rank and position ns equals in the
Federal Union. On tho other hand,
if a contrary course of action be pur?
sued, it is painful to contemplate
s - what would be tho inevitable results.
Conflict of interests would aiise,
affecting the well-being of all classes
-those of the laborer as of tho land?
owner, of tho operative as of the
mechanic or manufacturer; and this
?*t* t ' conflict would take placo among a
people .who have already been pros?
trated and impoverished, and who,
above all others, should be united for
the common weal. But, boyond this
conflict of interest, strife would be
engendered, passious aroused, and
consequently collisions unavoidable.
The severest blow from these results
would, of course, bo to the prospe?
rity and peace of the South; but
there is not a nook or corner of tho
whole country that wonld not feel the
direful effects of such conflicts or
oollisions.
It is true, that tho action of these
Conventions, in the Constitutions
they may adopt, have to pass through
two revising processes-they have to
be submitted to the people for con?
firmation, and if confirmed-as doubt?
less they generally will be-they must
again be submitted to OBngross for
revisiou or acceptance. It will be
seen, therefore, thr.t Congress, iu
reality, is the Constitution-making
power for the present excluded States.
This is a novol process in tho legisla?
tion of our country; but it is so, and
must bo submitted to. If it bo 1 rue,
then, as reported in our despatches,
that tho party loaders advised a more
moderate course than tho Alabama
Convention proposed to take, as re?
gards disabilities and disfranchise?
ment, we may have some hope that
the now Southern Conventions may
be more liberal in their provisions,
than we hud some time ago reason to
expect. That thing called thc ballot
box, is a i)0 werf ul conservativo en
gino, and a successful political per?
suader to the erring, to tako tho right
course.

-L - ' '
Too li?<c.
Tho New ?ork Sun, a Republican
journal, raakea the following notice
of the arrest, by the military authori?
ties/of one of the Richmond incendia?
ry orators, and a member of'the Con?
vention:
- "It is high time that some action
were .taken to stop the inflammatory
course of snob characters as. the one
referred to; but why pounce upon
the black agitator, and allow the
more culpable white ones to escape?
There ure white agitators all over the
South, of the Hunnioutt pattern, who
are doing everything in their power
to array the blacks against the whites.
The negroes being ignorant and easily
misled, the inflammatory teauhings of
the Hunuioutts are really dangerous.
The largest liberty should be extend?
ed to the Southern radicals, com?
patible with tue public safety; but
when they over-step that limit, and
attempt to embroil the blacks in strife
with the whites, they should be
promptly suppressed."
It is past "high time" for this sort
of action, for much evil has already
been effected, not so much by colored
speakers, as by white emissaries sent
among them; therefore, we agree
with the Sun, that while the utmost
freedom of speech, consistent with
public order and tho peaco of the
community, should bo allowed to all
political speakers of any and every
party, yet when strife and agitation
aro tho only ends they aim at, they
should be held responsible; and, if
guilty, properly punished. Tho freed?
men, in exorcising their newly ac?
quired political rights, especially in
this State, have bohaved with ex?
emplary decorum, and we havo never
seen a quieter election in this city,
than that held on Tuesday and
Wednesday, in which tho voters were
all colored; and we are convinced,
that if the whole colored population
of tho South had not been interfered
with, by agitators from abroad, the
disorder in the political relations ol
tho two classes, which may have oc?
curred elsewhere, would not bnvc
taken place.

THOUQHTS FOR THE SEASON.-The

heart against ita lesson? Who, as he
sees the frost withered leaf driven by
the fitful winds, is not reminded that
such is human life? Even as a leaf,
when the frost has dried up its sap,
and its stem clings no more to tho
parent tree, so is our life. It is green
to-day and flouts gaily upon the sum?
mer breeze, but the frosts of death
are gnawing at its stem, and we know
not if we shall wave there to-morrow,
or be driven away by the wintry
blasts of eternity. Happy are we if
nature preaches not unto us in vain
iii ?.uta uer solemn day.
MESSES. EDITORS: The telegraph
has informed us several times that
Gov. Orr is in Charleston, in consul?
tation with Gou. Canby, in arranging
for the taxation of the peoplo of this
State. We are further informed,
that tho State appropriation bill will
shortly be issued by Gen. Canby, and
that it provides liberally for tho judi?
ciary, penitentiary ana public insti?
tutions, and tbat the State tax bill
will appear at the same time. You
will, Messrs. Editors, confer a favor
by informing the public if the Re?
construction Acts authorize Gen.
Cunby to impose taxes on the people
of this State, and whether there is
any law or authority of the so-called
State of South Carolina authorizing
Gov. Orr to participate in adding
burthens on an over-taxed people.
Taxes aro not collectablo until June
next, some six or seven months
hence. If we are to be a State on
the basis of the Reconstruction Acts
of Congress, there is ample time, by
our future mles, to impose taxes. If
not, then the Congress of the United
States can provide for the necessary
taxation. We aro of those who be?
lieve wc have still somo rights left;
and so behoving, we make the in?
quiry, whether the authority is given
to Gen. Canby and Gov. Orr toa-im
pose and collect taxes frqm the peo
p. of Sonth Carolina?
MANY TAXPAYERS.?
So far ns Gen. Canby is concerned,
he is acting within the purview of
the Reconstruction Acts passed by
Congress-for, if we read them aright,
he has supreme control over his Mili?
tary District. Gov. Orr, we presume,
has been called upon merely as a
medium through which information
as to the different sections of the
State may be obtained.
