[From Our Oun Curreapondtent, MoxTaoxeny, Ala., Juno L.—Lorliaps tho most hopeful indication regarding Alabama is, that, while to o grealer or Jegs extent tho rost of tho country is discussing her condition, thera is gcarca auy diseussion of politics uere, It is not the subjoct of convoreation at tho court-houses, lLotols, on tho trains, or clsewhero #o faras liave been nble to axcertain, Whon tho subject is brooehed, uo partienlar Interest I3 Letrayed, nud conversation i Janguid nutil it turus upon tho crop-prospect or immigration, to do his shiare toward ivtroducing which acems tho fixed purposo of overy man in Alabama. Yor the nouceo, public atlentivn s directed, not to poli- tics, but to tha DUVELOPMENT OF THF REROURCES of tho Stato, Evon tho seneation occasioned by tho dovelopments in the Spencer luvestigation has suddenly subsided, lenving seatco a ripplo in tho current of public opinlon, Tue most lively impression croated by any(hing connccted there- with was not as to tho facts brought out (which woro gepcrally kuown du political circles hero), but na to tho outspoken donuncistions of the raeeality exposed, mado through tho press of tho Northern States. Novel and nmusing, and at the samo timo decidedly significant, has beon the glad surpriso expressod horo at the fact that e Trisuse charncterized that rascality as rasenlity ; and that jothor leading journals pub- hshod north of dason & Dixon's lino did (ho eame, The scnsa of reliol they manifest ab finding tbat thoy aro realty found to bo in tho tight in one instacce, Liaa more than onco caused meo to hesitato on putting my pen to paper to ro- port my own obscrvations, ahd to sometimes wondor, 1f, atleast, I were not lisblo to misun- derstand them in mauy things, no less than did thoy tho press of the North when they assumed, a8 ovidently thoy did, that it would bo silent as to, or apologize for, the Sponcor businoss. At this time, & warm political diecussion might naturally bo expected. Tho questiou of calling a Convontion to FRAME A NESY CONSTITUTION for tho Stato is to bo voted on at an clection to be bield ou tho first Tucsday of August, In viow of tho importance of such a work, of the diesat- {efaction with which tha preseut Conatitution wau received aftor ita adoption had boen dis- puted, and in viow of the vast amount of pro- tound statoesmanship which, in nny of the Biates, tho question of & uew Conslithtion would do- volop, theattention which it roceives lLoro jd tho moro mdiked indication of Low lhitlo con- corned tho pnv&llln aro fa political mat- tors, aud of how much they aro on- grosged In their own privato affairs, It goes further to indicats the actual siwuation than all that cun be told by those who profoss to kuow most about it, That men's miuds are not oceupred with tho white line, nor questions of changes in the fundamental Iaw, must bo takon aa tolorably satisfactory ovidonco that, mo far as rulates to Alabams, thero caunot bo a vast deal, axto gither, of suflicient consoquouce to bo tho subjcet of much thought, ‘Lo condition It do- uoted 18 of QIDER, PROSPERITY, THRIFT, AND CONTENT, whicl, geuerally, speaking, i3 the cundition of Alabama to-lay.

By tho preeent Constitution, one-fifth tho entiro rovetiuo collected id set apart for support of the rchools, For the carrent year, this amounts to £409,847.44. Tho funds derlvod from futerest ou proceods of wales of lauds gimmed by Congress, from tho poli-tax and spocial liconscs, also ap- vlied to sclool I»uqmaes, swell the total fund for tho year to 401, 487,67, which coustitutes the solo” provision for tho education of a school populntion of 233,703 white aud 172,M37 colored children,—thero Ly uo loeat sehool Jovios, excopt ab oblte and in Perry County, This would seem noue too much; Lut it ia tho wubject of u vost deal of camplaint that o much [y oxponded for schools, Desides, tho Btate of Alsbuing hus defsulted in paymont of jutorest on her dobt since 1873, and uow con- tomplatos raising about $600,000 pur annum for that purpose. Under the presont Constitution, to do thas would require £6:25,000 bo rajscd, fu order that after deducting tho vne-fifth for #cliool purposcs, & Lalf-million sbould be left.

Binilar expressious wore mado by many of the must prominent of thom; and it is verified by thelr policy toward the uogroos, which Ling given no oceasion whatovor for alarm ou the purt of the Iatter. Nothing veors cloaror now than that the te-tine loaders confidently reckon on capturing tho negro vote ol wmasso very shortly, Whethor with that view, or out of & sense of justice, [t is signiticaut that Gov. Houkton, In 8 recont apcecht to a Democratio mecting at Athens, declared: **As for myself, 1 will say hore, that 1 would pid the disfran- elised to” defent auy such obnozious provis- iun " (n property or educational qunliticstion for voters). In view of the provailiug soutiment in this regard, of tho deciarations of ilio Joaders, and of tho obvious jmpoticy of any such elfort, it will Lo timo onough for alarm on that scoro -wheu, if the Convention Lo called, Ruch a clauso is meerted fn the Constitution to bo submitted Lo the peoplo for adontion. Of far 1noro pructical concern to the peoplo of Alabama than ull elre proposed to bgincar- porated in tho new Constitution is & probition of the loaniug of the Stata eredst in aid of rail- roads or inteznal fuprovemouts, Tho prosont Coustitution expressly provides that tho Btate ehall pot embark in_ euch enterpruses, Dut, rearco had tho eatpot-bag Legixlature organized under that Coustitution,jin 1863, than it was dis- coverod tho loan of tho Stato's credit was nat prohibited. Jobbers with prugecm for building vonds from nowhoro to nowiiero thronged tho lobbies, and voles for their littlo Lills for the in- doreement by tho State of the companies’ bonds, forthwith had A REQULAR MARKET-QUOTATION, g0 to epeak, with active domand, aud prices firm and with upward tondency. Illow tho Stato was plundered is itlustrated in tho case of the Alabama & Chattanooga Itoad. Under he Patton Government, in 1867, an act Lind obassed providing for the [ndorsement of tha Londs of tho Gumpany to the amount of £12,000 per mito. The earpet-bag Legislature raised it to $16,000 por mile, Kot only wero Louds indotsed to that amount, inclnding those tor oma G0 miles of tewporury track, but, Desides, $530,000 ad- divioua! of thae Company's bonds wero, under tlhis sct, Indorsed “by the Governor, and pub upon tho market, That dono, the Company modostly snked a loan of Stato bends to tho amount of 32,000,000, nud & Linl providing therefor was bougtt through the Leglslaturo,—tho only security given tho Stato being a mortgagoe on the lands grantod by Cone prees o pid of the road, and on the Cowmpany's telograph lines, Under the ensuing Domocratic Administration, Gov. Liudacy fell at outs with the management of the Compauy, and, under the Aiabuma statuto, geized tho rond on dofault of payment of inlerest on tho tudorsed bonds, 1t ol courso proved an elopbiant, and was tho gourco of ad- ditional patronago and corruption, costing the State somo buudreds of thousnudy of dollars, Proccedings wero instituted by him Iu chiancery for forciosuro of tho Btate's lien on tho road, Undor theso, tho raad was placed in chargo of Receivers. At this juncture, undor Rmccudmgu in bankruptey instituted by a bond- older, tho road was sold, subject to tho lien of tho Btate, for £3812,000,~Lindsoy buyiug it in for nccount of tho Btate. A socond boudholder then filed n bill in the United States Circub Coutrt Tor the _appointment ol n taculver, and that Court fiually put tho road into tho Lands of Stanton, President of tho Com- vony, and * ‘other of its oflicors, as brustoos for the ondholders, 8o which thoy wero named in the bouds, To keop the rond going, the Court authorized tho fssuo of ¥1,000,- 000 cortitieates of Jndebteduess, to boa firat lion on the road ; nud, finally, by order of Coutt, tho entire road wag wold, the purchasors to aswuma tho cortitientos, ‘Lho oficors of tho rond, to one of whom 230,000 of thexo Eertificates Lad beon lnmlo{;l, bought it inat this sale for 81,200,000, which ia ALL TIIAT 14 LEPT agninst which tho Btale can have reconrso for payment of neurly 37,000,000 it has fonned to und indorsed for tie Company. -, In the tiko wanuor, iudersoments have been mude in aid of railronds, until now, according to the uccessiblo data, tho total railrord dobt of the Stato foots up #18,664,000.
