TEXAS RECONSTRUCTION CONVENTION. A Month of Dilatory Proceedings—No- thing Done as Yet—Failure of the Con- vention to Repeal or Nullify the Ordi- nance of Secession—The Majority Report of the Committee Claiming the Right of Secession, &c. OUR AUSTIN CORRESPONDENCE. Avsrin, Texas, March 6, 1866. DILATORY ACTION. The action of this Convention for the past week has not warranted more frequent despatches, Four weeks have now been oecupied in legislating upon State mat- ters, and a cheerful disposition to come at once te those juties which are plainly pointed out to the Convention 4 uot as apparent as people abroad—and I may well say the people of Texas—could desire. Many minor ordi- es, besides innumerable resolutions, have been assed, and four weeks have been occupled in such work, When not even the ordinance of secession has been repealed, nor has any of the points been acted upon which are mentioned in the President's reconstruction policy, ‘THE SECESSION ORDINANCE QUbSTION, A strong effort was made to bring up the ordinance of secession for action, but after much discussion, explana- tions and sundry excuses, it was postponed, and a lengthy bill from the Committee on the Legislative De- partment was reported, and the whole week was occu- picd on its different and perplexed sections, The follow- ing are the proceodings on the ordinance question:— MAJORITY REPORT, The majority of the Committee on the Condition of the ordinance :: of Texas, by delegates in con- acknowledging the supremacy of the The people of the Febreary, 1861, entitled “An ordinance to dissolve the union between the State of Texas and the other States united under the compact styled ‘ The Constitution of the United States of America,’”? be and the same is hereby annulled and declared to be of no further effect. Mr. Joncs, of Bexar, on behalf of the minority of the Committee on the Condition of the State, mad» the fol- Towing report: rhe undersigued, a minority of the Committee on the Cond of the State, to which was referred various ordinances and resolutions relating to secession, beg leave t ake this wivoriiy report:—We have given the inpo matirs submitted to the committee that which they deserve. — Acknowledg- the majority “of the committee, the supremay of the Constitution of the United Slates, we find in it no warrant of authority for thé act of secession, either by express recognition or by implication, as a reserved right of the States, and can tierefore come to no otber conclusion than that the act nullity from the beginning, as being e und overthrow the recognized su- ant consid ration ag, with rt Ss a revolutionary measure, the r sult of the stragyle forces upon us the same conclusion, Abortive attempts at revotuton never impress any changes upon the fundamental laws of @ coverament. Vhe ordinance reported by the majority of the committee virtually asserts thatthe secession ordinance and enacted under it have a legal extst- 6, and ere rightfully of force up to this time. ‘To this we eunnot yield our assent; and it would in the highest dogree prejudice our ication for the resumption by our State of her constitutional relations with the federal government. It would not only be regarded as a claim of the right of s cession, but the assertion of its success vo pranciple, in the late attempt to enforce it by arms, Yoannel it for the future and to declare that it shall have no farther effet, is to assert that itis of legal eifect, and that by it the supreme law of the land has been legally displaced, and remained so up to the time of our action in th s Convention. ‘Tho undersigned beg leave to report the accompanying ordinance, a8 a substitute for the ordinance reported by the majority of the committee, recommend its adoption in lieu thereof :— An Ordinance, deciaring null and void the ordinance of secession :— We, the people of Texas, by delegates in convention assembled, acknowledging the supremacy of the con- stitution of the United States, and laws made in suance thereof, and disclaiming the right of 1) and recogn zing an ordinance entitled “‘An ordinance to dissolve the Unicn between the State of Texas and the other.

The Grand Jury presented a large numbor of indict- ments, and tho prisoners, on being arraigned, pleaded not guilty. James Thomas (colored) was tried and convicted of rand larceny in stealing forty dollars’ worth of wearing apparel, the property of Sophia Sondheim, 192 West ‘Thirty-first stroct, on the 26th of February. It appears that the prisoner's wife was a washerwoman, and that us stole the property and afterwards pawned it. There were other charges of a sitnilar nature against him, and the Judge imposed the highest penalty of the law, which was imprisonment in the State Prison for five years, BURGLARS SENT TO THR STATE PRISON. James Smith and Edward Hughes were tried and found guilty of burglary in the degree, having on the night of tho 26th of February entered the liquor store of Georgs Gilroy, 682 Second avenue, and stolen some c gars and @ small amount of money. An officer do- tected them near the premises, and keys which opened the -.ore were fouud on them. The Cit eh of them to the : tate Prison for five years, Kyoler, who was jointly indicted with these men, pleaded guilty, and was remanded for sentence. John Meyer, indicted for burglary in the second de- gree, pleaded guilty to the third grado of that offence, he having on the 6th instant entered the dwelling hoftse of George Patterson, 77 East beer and stolen ninely-three dollars’ Worth of property. He was seni to he state Prison for four years and six months. Charles Cunningham, indicted for burglary in the second degree, was convicted of grand larceny. On the aight of the 6th inst. he and another man, named ttew- art, entered the dwelling house of Mary Rolle, 47 Rose sireet, and stole thirty dollars’ worth of clothing. The prisoner was remanded for sentence. GRAND LARCENIES Thomas Staunton and Wm.

The coroplain- twas a passenger on the steamer City of New York, and the accused was one of the crew. @ counsel for the prisoncr put in the plea, at the same time asserting that be would produce such evidence to the City Judge as would conviuce him beyond all doubt of the inno- cence of bis client, Sentence was postponed till Friday. ACQUITTALS. James Riley, charged with burglary in entering an office in the butiding No. Tl Broadway and stealing therefrom two pairs of shoes, was promptly acquitted Assitant District Attorney Bedford having abandoned tho case. Timothy Colling, indicted for stealing a saddle belous- ing to Gencral Barnum, was also acquitted, there not being suflicient test mony to identify the property. Daniel Sullivan, charged with stealing fifty three dol- jars from Michael’ Richardéon, was found not guilty. & The Brooklyn Libel § TO THE EDITOR OF T , Orrick Brooxtys Bary Tons, March 17, 1866, As you have aliuded in your editorial columns to the enit brought agalnst the Brooklyn Timer by ex-Sovator Strong, for libel (damages $10,000), allow me a word in explanation, In the first place, the case was never post poned previously at my request, but by mutual agree. ment between counsel, for reasons whieh were obvious. Secondly, the burden of proof lay upon me, the defend. ant, Mr. Strong, the plaintiff, having no occasion for wit. nesses, save, perhaps, to rebut, He and his apologists have boasted frequentiy that they bad nothing to prove, save that I was the publisher and proprietor of the paper at the time of the alleged tibel—a fact which Twill not deny, But, sir, if Mr. Strong really needed witnesses from among the present members, he would find no ity ia obtaining ther.

The sales of real estate yesterday were, as will be seen by reference to the table given below, very extensive. Some time since we had occasion to remark the growth of the mania for selling and buying property in Brook- lyn, It has now extended to Jersey City, a large quan- tity of property located there having been disposed of esterday and bringing good prices. Tho sales will, loubtiess, continue into the ensuing month, when there will be a Slight respite, only to be broken in the fall by ba ad sales and bigger prices. The real estate speculators will not have much opportunity to sell this season, but 80 soon as the next commences, hundreds of Jots and houses, disposed of already, will again be auctioned, and 188, will undoubtedly bring even higher prices than on the previous sale.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, New York, March 21, 1866. In your paper of yesterday thore was a forcible illus- tration of the able argument of your correspondent, J. Hi. P., in favor of an amendment of the law concerning cruelty to animals. Un the same on which his Communication appeared there was a description of one of those disgusting ¢chibitions called a “cock fight.” Now, will you perml: ue to say that I endorse the views of your correspondent on this subject, and fully agree with him that protection shou! be accorded by the laws to the small as well as to the larger animals. “The very beetle that we tread upon, in cor] sufferance, feels a pang as great as when a giant dies,’ The demoraliza- tion of Span can be traced to the buil fights wh ch characterize that country, and the habitual use of the knife on the slightest provocation, to the bloody scenes with which the people are fam lianzed from thew in- fancy. Is it not a fair inference thas the frequent use of the bowie knife, the pistol and tho bludgeon in our own country has had its orgin in similar exhibitions, among which may be classed the equally cruel though mcre circumscribed arena called the “cock pitt’ Every con sideration of the public welftre, as well as lumanity, demands that the iaws should be so amended as to put a stop to all such degrading acts of cruelty, E. B., Jv, Equaliz tion of Biunty and the State Legislature, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Some weeks since a bill was introduced in the State Legisiatore at Albavy providing for the payment of seventy-five dollars bounty to the soldiers who hove served during the rebellion and who have not received the Stave bounty. This bill, the justice of which mast be apparent to ai we believe, referred to the Mili- tary Committee, and no furthor action has since been taken in the matter, As there are many brave men saxtously awaiting the adoption of the law of eq inliza- tion of bounty, who are in much need, you will be doing this class of our citizen foldiers a gréat favor by giving publicity to this communication, Trusting it may have the effect of calling the attention of the Legie- lature to the urgency of an early adoption of the bill, 1 am, respectfully, A VETERAN. ‘Trials at Police Headquorters. The number of trials of police officers at headquarters yesterday was rather small, aad the cas generally slight and unimportant, Officer Mangan, of the Forty-fifth precinct, was charged by #dgar Van Vaikenbargh, of Soutn Fourth street, Williamebarg, with improper conduct in depriving him of t)« privilege of accompany ng a female, who did not wish to go with him, on the evening of the 8th inst., and arresting him beeauee he had intimated that it wes the police uniform that saved its possessor from a muddy coueh, Captain Greer, of the Third precinct, gave tostinony regarding the examining of officers Donelly and Mat- thews, of his precinet, and the finding of the pistols Appropriated by those oilers at the fire on Browlway, near Warren stroct, Mr. Merwin, owner of the premias from « Heh the goods were abstracted, test fled to hu identiied the pistols as part of his ‘property. 01 Scott und Hudson testified to having taken part taining the pistols from the accused ofleers Oiticor Jas.

METROPOLITAN HEALTH BOARD. of the Commissioners to That Locality— A Delegation of Butchers Wait on the President of the Board—The Confer. ence, é&c. President Schultz, Commissioner Acton and others of the Health Commission visited the Washington and West Washingion Markets as early as flve o'clock yes- terday morning for the purpose of personally inspecting those much complained of nuisances. The market was found to be extremely dirty. A report of tho result of their inspection will be made at their next meeting. It is possible that the stands surrounding the market will be removed should the Board deem that measure bene- ficial to public health. THE BUTCHERS’ CONFERENCE. Late in the afternoon a committee of butchers and others oceupying stands around the Washington Market, baving heard it rumored that a removal of their stands was in contemplation, as a measure of sanitary reform, and knowing the power the authorities have to enforce such, they repaired to headquarters, requested an inter- view with tho President of the Board, which was grant- ed, when the following conference was held :— rr. E. Haxnivoy Reap, spokesman of tie butchers’ delegation—We a body of men doing business in Washington Mark the stands I ‘on the wharf, Fulion, Vesey and West strects, which we have occupied for many years, paid rent to the city in good faith, and some of tis have looked upon these stands almost as real estate, We, therefo e, tee! a deep interest in ail that may be done by the Health Commissioners in relation to Washington Market. President Scuvi1z—What action the Board of Health will take, gentlemen, we can give you no promise; but ‘we must abate anything we deem detrimental to public heaith, and as I understand the law, there is no doubt as to our right to remove proporty when it is 6, We have here a reason to remove these stands, for the sweepers say they can not clean the market properly on account of the stalls over the gutters and sidewalks, We answer, “Remove them, so that these men may carry out their contracts,’ This morning one or two of our doctors ex- amined the market, and in their Judgment none of these places are in a proper sanitary condition; they are prin- cipally all on fiith and mud, and it is probable that the Board will direct their removal, ‘We cannot prevent the execution of their can tear them down to-morrow if 80 dis- Many of us have been on the wharf for tue ars, made our money there, and they are, y aluaule tous. The estimated value of these stands 18 very considerable, being $245,300, Vuxstoust—Why, that is more than the Comptroller estimates the entire market. But, do you know that, by the lnw, you have no power to occupy these stands? Bere iin—We pay $15,500 yearly rent to the city for sidewalks on Vesey, West and Fulton strects, and a large internal revenue. Pax ipext—At auction what would they rent for? Buxcuer—I can’t say; there are men who have made a fortune out of them in one year. Pux-ipext—These siands interfere exceodingly with the thoroughfare im those streets, Do you not admit this to be a fact? Burcuxn—Yos; but even were there more room made around Washington Market it would still be blocked as it is now, Presipent—I_ measured the street atone point and found it to be fifwen fet leas width than at other parts. T notice that you are beginning to build traps to wash out the sewers; why did you uo? do 60 before? GuTcn“R—There was no demand on us to do eo until recently, Those markets | admit to be a nuisance, doomed tu be wiped out soon. There are one hundred and forty of these stalls in Washington Market. Prrsivext—My impression ts that the only way to rach your case is through the cleaning. Process, unless the commitwe direct tucir removal. The market is a nuisauce—ricketty, wot and leaky; and if aay placo in the United States may bo catled filthy it is that market. Botcuxe—Yet, see, what a healthy-looking class of men we generally are.

Fine Arts, TWKLPTH RECEPTION OF THE BROOKLYN ANT ASSOCIATION. Despite the bleak and dismal aspect of the weather on Tuowtay night, aod the drazling rain that tend-d to make every one outdoors focl ax miserable as possible, the re- ception of this well known body, at the Brooklyn Academy, was a success. Tho assembly rooms were thronged with a large and fashionable concourse of visi- tors, whose attention was divided bei ween the large col- lection of paintings which graced the walls of tho salle, and the sweet strains of music surging in with tho bril liant throng through the open doors. Regarding the merits of the collection we can only mention a few of the most attractive works. in the crush and distracting gayoty of an art comversazione there is but little opportu- nity afforded to criticise at length, and Nature's breath- ing models minust necessarily absorb more attention than even the speaking canvas of her gifted children. The centre of atiraction was tho latest and best work of Regis Gignoux, President of the Association, namely, Glimpse of Mount Blanc.” I: has boon already described in the Hetsro, ‘Reminiscences of tho Ad rondack,”’ by J. Williamson, oxhibits this artist in a now light, bis speciatty being frait and flower subjects, Shattuck, Sommors, Brevoort, Wiles and Parker introduce us to some choice twilight and moonlight scenes, many of which in perspective, eky paluting, boldness of outline and careful finish deserve commendation, Whittredge gives us a peep into one of his lovely arbors, and we can readily sympathize with the impatience of the fair lady who is listening for the footfall of—somebody. “Tho Wreck,” by Bradford; “Bay of Amalfi,” Haseltine; “Landscape in the Tyrol,” Kraseman Van Elton, and somo charming domestic groups by McEwen, Webb, Rathbone, Shayer and Peele are the other noteworthy features of this collection. If a little more regard had been paid to the proper hanging and arranging of the pic- tures there would not have been such an utter disregard to harmony of esuljects and coloring shown as was the ease in wom® corners of the gallery, We met many familiar eanvases from Now York ga'lerios on the walle, The reception was enjoyable and a success, as the music ‘avd the good humor of the visiiors more than compensated for any drawbacks on the part of the collection, and the works we have tmoatione! sbove were of a chara tor which excused the poverty of the other paintings, At the SOMPRVILLE ART GALLERY o large assortment of the works of Church, Bierstadt, Nehlg, Huntingdon, Keosett, Hart, Rastman Johnson, Frere, Willenes, Fichet, Ditiens, and other American and European artists of the modern schools are on exbi. bition and will be sold to-night by Messrs.

He was informed that he got it from a man named Cunning- ham. He recollected that Cunningham was one of the men who had gone with Warren to Peten, and suspecting that there was Leet, 2 wrong, he hired Cunningham to drive some cattle for him over to a justice of the peace,and sent a letter by him to the justice stating his suspicion.

Remove Stanton and Denison from the Cabinet. ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRESIDEN ke. &. ke. Provinence, R. 1, March 21, £866, The democratic party of Rhodo Island held its -tare Convention in this city to-day, It was attended by some- thing over a hundred delegates, and was very enthnsias- tic in its deliberations on national affairs. Its proceed- ings differed from those of the republican convention— that having aseembled and made nominations for State officers and dissolved without adopting a platform, white the democrats came together and adopted a platform apd then went home without making any nominations, thas virtually endorsing the nomination by the republicaa convention of General Burnside for Governor, ‘Amaza Sprague, of Cranston, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee, called the Convention to order, and Hon. Thomas Stere, of Smithfield, was chosen pre- sident, and William Miller, of Bristol, and Judge A. Bliss, of Pawtucket, were made secretaries, The principal speech of the Convention was made by Hon. M. Stera upon taking the chair, After returning his thanks for the honor he said :— In the present anomalous and not more gincular than perilous position of our country’s political affairs, it will not, I trust, be deemed inappropriate or egotistic if E detain ee for 2 few moments to consider the situa tion of the democratic party and i's duty. There was under and arising out of the provisions of the constitution of the United States one only qvestion which neither Congress, the Executive ne the courts could finally di Rich, inshort, if passed to its solution, could not otherwise be solved than by the arbitrament of arms. ‘This question, it is needless to say, was that of the right of a State (o secede from the Union, involving, of course and necessarily, the right of the general government to coerce a State into remaining im the Union, ne civil war, precip tated and beepennsiee by those envinies of their country—a war abhorrent to the sentiment, the common sense and the patriotism of the’ peopie at large—is, thank God, ended, and in our first Slate Conven* tion ‘since the advent of peace, I as lovers of liberty—as representatives | ental Commonwealth of those who have ¢ adbere firmly to the principles of the fat stiblic—to consult together caimly and wisely upon na- tional affairs. No reiiecting tnan, surely nu student of history, would bave flattered himself that the trying ordeal through which we have passed would have re- sulted otherwise than in un-ettling many political max- jus which had been deemed unaleradly lixed as true aud inevitable; and in endangering, if it did not over- throw, many Or inost of those fundamental principles becomes us, @ not uninflu- whieh underlie and support democratic instita- tions; and it bas proved, in our experience, that’ the wild passions, the disturbed tempers and the hot and reckless biood engendered by a stave of war tuken adyantage of by (he cool and calculating oppo- nents of local and representative Mberiy—over a large fraction of the potential politicians of our land—have succeeded in subverting that veneration for and that obedience to the fundamental law without which no individual is saie, no rigut secure, no freedom perma- nent. But, gontlemen, it could hardly have been antict- pated, or, if suspected, it would have been considered ungenerous to have said, that that party which by ite loud and constantly reiterated professions of love tor free speech, a free presa men, gained so large @ confidenc: and acquired such’ absolute sway would use the power so freely bestowed upon it by @ con- fiding people to betray their inter: distract their councils, perpetuate disunion, and as far as lies in their power render our return to Union and peace imposs bie ‘et so it is, The republican party, not contont with having invaded the dearest rights of the citizen—with: having suppressed for a time free speech—and not satis- fled with its open, wai , Violent and flagitioug violation of the constitution, is now, by its representa- tives in Congress, deliberately and’ unconscitutionally holding its iron hand upon eleven Siates, and-subjecti them to its imperial and tyrannic will, It is endeavor ing not to restore to its former vitality the con- stitution of the United states, but to yot further invalidate, impair, weaken and destroy it. It stands defiant; oppovition to the wise policy of Prosident Johnson, and it deciares iis determination to refuse the people of the South all their rights until they submit to any and all conditions, however humiliating and wrong- ful and oppressive, that it may dictate. 1tfis enough to say that as no such spirit could have ever created or sus- tained a free government, so it will, if allowed free scope ‘and full power, effectually and forever crush out all reg- ulated and guaranteed liberty. As the constitution was the resuit of a spirit of amity and of martial defence and concession in the convention in which it was formed, and the like friendly feeling and overruling desire for the general welfare among the people by whom it was established, so will it endure so long as and no longer than it is upheld by the love, the veneration and the obedience of an united people. Iergiving powee wil ‘have departed whew, the. peopte ife-giving power ve when the peopie shall have ceased not merely to recognize it as the su- preme and fundamental law, but to regard it with adeep devotion. To-day the democracy of the country, in- spired by a hearty alleciance to the government and yearning earnestly for Uncon and peace, sees hope onl under God, in the virtue and intel Igence of the people, and in the wisdom, patriotism and firmness of Andrew Jolson. With a dominant party, the inciptent and hu- miliating quarrels of » hushed when it combines and barmon'zes, as against the welfare of the people; with a Congress as industrious in doing py it ought to be cnerget'c in measures for the good of the couniry, it i# evident that there must soou be a chanve or the government will becom bankrupt. The interests of a great naviog and the liberties of thirty millions of men are not to be mado the sport of a set of fanatics, or to be loft at the merey of crazy docirinacies. | Latervsts so vaat mast be guarded by law; liberty so precions must repose upom aud be protected by the constitution.

One or two of the speakers were a litte inclined to endorse Burnside’s nomination openly; but a majority of the members were oppor to tus, and gome of them in- duiged in bitter remarks aga net the Major Geaeral’s ability to govern the civil aituirs of the State. The trouble was finally got over by appointing a special cow- mittee to make nominations at a future day, if they deemed it expedient and strong candidates could be bit upon.
