A resolution was adopted to-day in the Convention fixing the date of adjournment for the 25th inst, This will allow of the question of ratifying the new con- stitution being decided before the end of the present year, If notice of the election be given on the day of adjournment it can be held on Christmas day which has always been kept by the negroes, even when they were slaves, as the great holiday of tne year. ‘They would paturally flock im large numbers to the towns and cities on that day e if there were no elec- tron, and the radicals hepe to poll a larger vote on this account than at the election for the convention, Ordinances were referred to the Commitee on (rdi- nauces changing the names of two counties from Cle- burne and Colbert to Lincoin and Brownlow, The Committees of Executive, Judiciary and Militia reported. The first recommended that a Lieutenant Goveraor should hereafter be elected nd provided that the Governor should not have the power to pardon tho crime of treason, all offenders on that head being only pardonable by Senate, who migot either commute or reprieve the ies, This latter clause is intended as Aguarantee for the good faith of any ex-robels who may enter the radical party for the sake of having their disabilities removed. The Judiciary Committee recommend that all judicial officers except justices of the peace and county com- missioners shall be filled by ihe government, the nomi- being subsequently confirmed or rejected by the a The Militia Committee recommend that all militia of. cers shall also be appointed byt eraur, subject to the approval of the senate, None of tho reports wei acted upon. A grent deal of excitement has been already created by tho ordinance proposed yosterday to compensate ue- groes for services rendered as slaves from the time of the emancipation proctarstion down to their actual en- franchisement by the federal army. The ordinance w Dot regardod as a serious proposition, but it now seem that some of the delegates are not only determined o carry tt, bat also to Ax the compensation at the present price of labor, $10 a month. ‘bia would practically give every negro who votes for the new con=tiiution a bribe of $280."

Iuteresting Debate on Proecription—The Ex- treme Men Again in the Ascendant—The Convention Makes Up Itw Mind to Go a Little Further Than Congress=Conservative Meet- ing in Montgomery. Moxtcomery, Ala., Noy, 9, 1867. ‘The Convention was opened this morning with a prayer ! from a colored clerical delegate, Mr, Dustab offered & petition in regard to the forma- thon of a new county, This elicited a @hort speech from Mr. Bingham, who said that great care ought to be ex- ercised ia making new counties, A county bad been formed by the last Legtvlature snd named after a rebe) general named Jones. He should at a future daie wmtroduce a provision im the constitution that no counties should here- after be named after dead or living rebels, whether their nawes were Jones or anything else. Mr. Dustan reminded Biugham that oat of tweive new counties which had been formed eleven bad gone republican, to which that gentleman replied to the elect ‘that things ought to be managed #0 that all of them should have gone the same way, The remainder of the session was occupied in a discus. sion in regard to proscription and disfranchisement, The subject was introduced by the following resolution, offered by Mr, Dustou, late a ner gt in the Union army and the leador of the few moderate and temperate nen in the Couvention:-— Resolved.

For bimseif, he shouid only look to the endsof justice. If justice proscribed, he would pro- scribe aiso.

He regarded the resvlution as entirely unnecessary—an instrucliop Coming from men who had been sent from various parts of the stale to build up that which pad been thrown down by the hands of trearon and rebellion.

If the Convention went no further than that, which simply prevented # certain cisss of men frum holding office, the result would be that im less than two years the rebels would get contro! of the State organization and drive wery Union mau out of tho State. The mass of the re- publican white voters were in fear and trembhog even now, aud were scared lest if they dared to remain steadfast to the repablican party the consequence would be rain to themselves and wo their families. Many of them had atready g’ back to the rebels, wud had given as a reavon ibat it was de- struction for t! arty. Now, if they were to give rebels the right to vote, and to say who were to execute the laws of the State, the white men leit in the party would say, “It ts only a question of time; we had better make peace with the enemy while wecan.”” Just so soon ag they gave the rebels the right to vote, and the bayonets of the federal forces were withdrawn, tne rebels would be in power, The re- salt would be that the colored people of the State would be disfranchised. That was nov a quostion of opinion ; it, Was not a question upon which there was tbo slightest shadow of doubt, Already the rebels had threatened to overthrow the Convention, which they Styled a bogus government, as soon as they had the power, and to deprive the colored people, whom they had termed baboons and monkeys, and whom they said not fit to rule while mep,and should not have the right of suffrage. Some men asked, wnen they were tult these things, “How can th'y do this?” It seemed strange to him that any man should put ewch a question, What did the rebela care whe Lor they had any right todo it or not? Where there was a will a way woula be tound, Those men bad planned and schemed to carry out secession, aad had done it; aud what they had ain, They should r © wonid not be the ouly sufferers.
