On yesterday both Houses of Con? gress were regaled by the rending of a most extraordinary document for? warded by telegraph from Austin, Texas, by authority of the Recon? struction Convention, now in session at that place. It comprises a series of resolutions, which set forth that greatlawle88nessis prevalent through? out the State; that law-abiding and "loyal" citizens are persecuted, and winds np by asking Congress to give the Convention power to organize a1 military force in every County, for the purpose of preventing the com? mission of the wrongs complained of. A more audacious request waa never I ?ut with greater coolness before, hat there ar? numerous lawless men in Texas, we have not the slightest I doubt; indeed, that State has always been noted for the possession of bands j of 80oandrels who respect neither life, person- nor property. But the whole animus of the Convention is apparent in the attempt to make it appear that Union men are being murdered by ex-rebels. This is an old and worn out cry, and the effort to organizo an army of radicals, is no new plot. It I hos been successfully carried ont in ' Tennessee, nnder Parson Brownlow, and nearly eighteen months ago a j movement took place in Texas, look? ing to th? same end. The secret of j the resolutions which have been transmitted to Congress, is that the radicals-desire to Organize an armed political mob, by means of which they can obtain permanent posses? sion of the State. This very Recon? struction Convention is the elected of1 a decided minority of all the regis? tered voters in Texas, and when it hos completed ita work, the probabili? ties are in favor of a victory for the conservatives at the election for State officers. Hence the- anxiety for a | convention army to control the pollc We think that the wretched condi? tion ' of Tennessee to-day, under Brownlow and hts State army, is a sufficient warning against extending the policy of repression to Texas. We hope that there is yet remaining in Congress, sufficient decency ana respect for the opinions of the entire people of the country, to influence the radical members thereof to reject the petition. The threat of the Con? vention, that in the event of Congres? sional authority being denied, the radicals will take the matter into their own hands, is a significant in? dication of the lawless character of these self-styled "loyal" men of Texas. It is a direct threat to plunge the State into a condition of anarchy i and bloodshed.-New York Herald. A very excellent address was de? livered by Col. R. A. Fair, before tho Democratic Club of this piece, on last Saturday evening. It was ad dreased principally to the colored members, and was designed to expose the false philanthropy of the "car pet-bngners" and "scalawags,", who aro currying out theit own selfish purposes at the expenso of tho de? luded blacks-flt representatives of that pions crew of early abolitionists who sold their slaves, pocketed the proceeds, and then joined in a holy crusade against the institution.

SUPERINTENDENT BUREAU OF EVBiTGRATION, CHARLESTON, May 18, 1868. Tb Hin Excellency Governor James L. Orr. SIR: Since my last report to your Excellency, thirty-one persons have been registered in this office, and liare found employment in this State. There arc now twenty persons on the way from Ger? many and Scandinavia, via Baltimore, and may arrive in a few days. Tho registries of lands now embrace 332,660 acres, in almost every District of tho State, for salo at reasonable rates mid on favorable conditions; and nearly G,000 acres of good lands in salubrious sections of thc State have been registered to be given as a free donation to actual settlers, upon reasonable conditions of improve? ment. I am glad to perceive a more favorable consideration of our State in Europe, and the indications arc, that as soon as we can obtain greater and regular facilities for passage, we shall certainly receive a share of immigration. Indeed, there would now be no want of well inclined labor for us, if our people could make the arrangement for an.outlaj- of the cost of transportation. In Germany, there aro now three influential papers that advocate our cause, although I am sorry to say we have, as yet, a multitude of veiw bitter opponents. In Sweden and Denmark, our influence is also extending; and, after a while, practical results will follow. In Ireland, several gentlemen arc kindly distributing our pamphlets. I have mentioned to your Excellency, on a former occasion, that I desired very much thc establishment of direct steam communication with Europe. With reasonable sacrifices this could be effected with Bremen, Hamburg and Glasgow, where ship-owners are veiw favor? ably inclined to om* project. Thc railroads from Charleston to Memphis being willing to transport immigrant passengers at one cent per mile, and their baggage at veiw reduced rates, would make this route to the West a moro favorable one than over either New York or Baltimore. It should be our constant aim to accomplish so desirable an arrangement, and I trust, when our political position is once more assured, that the State will liberally sustain every effort that shall be made in that direction. I had, besides, intended to have published a suggestion for un industrial movement, which seems calculated not only to be of great advantage to oui- people, generally, but would afford facilities for the profitable employment of a considerable number of immigrant employees. I intended to suggest and urge the establishment of at least one cotton factory in a central and eligible position, in every District, for the making up of the raw material into yarns, the capital to be subscribed in lands at a low valuation, and the lands to be sold to immigrants. To make the profits of these establishments secure, thc planters to pledge a certain number of bales of cotton to be yarned on toll. I only indicate the outline of thc plan for your consideration, deem? ing thc confused state of public affairs unpropitious for attempting it at present. It seems that even in the city of New York there is a perceptible want of sufficient laborers for the farmers in the vicinity-the papers complaining that the better class of immi? grants, however in large numbers they arrive, are already, before they leave Europe, billeted for their destination in the Western States, and that only the worthless and indifferent remain for local engagements. This agrees entirely with my formerly expressed opinions, although it seems that some of our planters have obtained labor from New York. I had made arrangements with a gentleman in Pennsylvania to furnish labor of any kind, and of a superior character, to such planters as could comply with his terms-which were very reasonable-and whenever I have been applied to I have fumishod his address. But I still continue to believe that our resuscitation must be founded upon the incurring of an immigra? tion of small farmers, who will be followed by reliable laborers and skilled mechanics of every description, and that the most practical method of effecting that is direct steam communication with European ports, proffers of cheap lands and a multiplication of our industrial pursuits. I have the honor to be, Your Excellency's obedient servant, JOHN A. WAGENER, Commissioner of Immigration. NOTICE TO PLANTERS.
