| / HARD TO DIE. THE SCALAWAG ROW IN ALABAMA, ‘Excitement in Montgomery—Tho Beaton Carpet Baggors and Soalawags Don’t Like to Surren- der—Tho Superiute :dent of Public Inst: uc- tion Ovens the Game—He is Euchred— The Governor and Treasurer Take Out an Injuuctioa—A Neat Flank Movement by the Democrats— The Present Situation. Monreomery, Ala., Nov. 26, 1870, , This has beon a week of some excitement in the ‘irst capital of the late confederacy, and to-day the excitement rose almost to fever heat, though the gravity of the occasion served to suppress the de- } monstration of feeling which might otherwise have » \been made. To give in detail an account of all of it would occupy more than the Umits of an ordinary @ titer, and I will therefore confine myself, as far as to “the truth of history’ will allow, to a re- ‘¢ltal ef the main facts and incidents, ‘The Legislature convened on Monday. The new ‘State omMcers elected on the sth inst, also came to ‘town for the purpose of entering upon the duties of ‘the offices for which they had been chosen by the people. They were democrats and conservatives, ‘The incumbents were radical republicans, and, of rconrse, didn’t like the idea of giving up the money bags and going out of power, Having failed before ‘the people some of them determined to make a last effortin what they regarded as thelr citadel—the State House—with radical judges as their defenders and abettors, ‘THK SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION ; LEADS IN THE GAME, However, the first contestant decided to “go tt on ‘his own hook,” for a while at least. This was N. B. loud, the Superintendent of Public Instructien, | ‘Wo failed by 4,013 votes of re-election to the office. ‘He constituted himself judge, Jury and witness, | and deolded that Hodgson, his opponent (and, | by the way, a democratic editor), was tneligi- ble to the office, by reason of having } sent @ challenge. to Judge J. Q. Smith i ‘to “fight with deadly weapons.’ The fact is Smith } sent Hodgson to jail, and the latter, after his re- lease from continement, sent his incarcerator # ‘Written invitation to ‘name a place eutside of the State where they might continue their correspend- ence.’? Smith did not care to go outside of the State, and there was ne challenge and no blood- @hed. So, when Hodgsen had made the oaths re- quired by law, that in regard to duelling among them, and filed the necessary bond, he appeared at the room of the Board of Education, that body being in session, and proposed to enter upon the discharge of his duties, the first thing at hand being 10 take lls seat as ex ogtcio President of the Board. Cloud said he should not doso, for the reasons above given, and Hodgson withdrew, But after two or three days of planning and scheming the interest on both sides, meanwhile, becoming more intense, the members of the Board decided. by unanimous vote, that Hodgson was the right man, and invited him to go ahead with bis business. The Boara is Composed in great part of carpet-vaggers, Scalawags and negroes. Cloud says be still intends to coutest ‘the matter before the courts. THE GOVERNOR AND TREASURER TAKR A HAND. But just as the public pulse had begun to beat s ‘More slowly trom the matter just related, rumors of @ still more slartiing contest, and one altogether new ‘ad novel ana far more important than the first, commenced to fly around. ‘This was nothing less than a contest by the Governor and the ‘l'reasurer (both incumbents of the offices) of the legality of tne Glection of thelr opponents. This seemed to be } bringing matters to a point, and the feeling of anxi- ety and curiosity began to run high, The unex- plained delay of the acting President of the Senate vo “opening and publishing’? the election returns, as he is required by law to do, added fuel to tne fire which had already commenced to bum. “But how 4s ihe Contest to be made?” was the question asked #y many. The answer came yesterday (Friday), n M ‘detinite shape, that an mjunctton would be er had been Issued against the President of the Senate, re- Straining him from counting and announcing the Bi votes for Governor and Treasurer. About noon on Friday the public saw a prospect of soon finding out what was going to when the acting President of the Senate ) had a copy of a communication read which he had sent to the Speaker of the House. informing that i} officer and the body over which he presided that he b} proposed to begin the counting of the votes on Saturday at enue o’ciock. Just before the reading J of this document the House (probably on account ) of the rumored injunction) had invited the Senate to ) meet with it in jomt convention at two o'clock that aiternoon and open the electivn returns. Some of the strongest republican Senators favored the ac- ceptance of tke invitation of the House, but the Yresident adhered te his determination. There mow seemed to be no doubt that an tnjunction for } the purpose heretofore mentioned was actually on foot, and some of the most radical members of the Legislature expressed themselves Laide 4 as belng opposed to Ing any attention to it, Others, however, including the acting President of the Sen- } sie, who for the time being was quite an important } individual, were evidently delighted at the prospect | of keeping the democratic Governor and Treasurer j | } ‘ out of office, at least for a sufficient length of time to allow President Grant or Congress to be i} Induced to take the matter in hand, AN INJUNCTION. | Well, to shorten the story, one o’clock to-day } arrived ‘on time,” and found a large crowd assem- bied at the Capitol to see and hear what would be sald and done. Of course the democratic members had laid down their pian of operations in view of the expected injuction. The radicals had heard of it and laid their counter plans; but they did not get the straight of the story exactly, and conse- quently somebody was flunked. The time arrived, |} asl bave just said, and the Senate went into the hall of the Heuse of Representatives. A. joint con- vention was duly organized, the acting President of the Senate, of course, presiding, Beiore proceeding the business for which the Convention had as- sembled, the President exhibited a document which Ee said was an injunction granted by a Judge of the reme Court ef the State, torbidding him to open count the vetes for Governor until further ) orders; and another document, which he satd was an injunction granted by a Judge of one of the Circuit Courts of the State, for- bidding him to epen and count the votes for ) Treasurer until further orders. But the votes for the candidates for Licutenant Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State were counted, and tue democratic and Conservative candidates were declared to ve daly elected. To guard against what fy had been understood to be the sirategy intended by the d@emocrats the President ordered the unpub- | Ushea returus to be immediately returned to the ofice of the Secretary of State. A FLANK MOVEMENT, At this point it appeared that the movement to ‘disregard or to get areund the writs of injunction did not partake strictly of a party character, when @ republican Senator offered a resolution tnat Mr, Moren, the Lieutenant Governor elect und ex oficio | President of tue Senate, be immediately installed into office. The President of the Joint Convention || indicated that he was opposed to the resolution. || Two or three members spoke a few words for 4} and against it, when the President decided the resolution out of order. A member appealed from | the decision of the chair. ‘fhe President deciined to jubmit the appeal toa vote and vacated the chair, |] at the same tne ordering the Senators to retire to )} their chamber, wiich most ef them obeyed and, going to their chamber, adjourned. The Speaker of the ‘House said that as the President o! the Senate had leit the chair it devolved upou bim to preside. The Sppeal irom the decision ef the chair was sustained ; the resolution was adopted and a committee ap- pees to wring Mr. Moren tnto the hall for instalia- lon. When he ascended the Speaker's stand one ef tle commitice announced that he had already taken the oath of office, “and,” continued Mr. Moren, “1 am the Lieutenant Governor of Alabama and President of the Senate and shail proceed to e6unt the votes for Governor and State Treasurer.” ‘ THE VOLR FOR GOVERNOR couNTED. At this little coup d’écat (perfectly in accordance ‘with the law, however) tue injuncttonisis grated their teeth from very rage. But an idea struck them and they chuckled at the thought that the Secretary of State, being a Serpet Dagmer, woud refuse to deliver the election returns to the new President of the Senate. But he did do it without deiay, and the counting of the forbidden votes was begun and completed without interruption. ie count showed that R. B. Lindsay had been elected Governor, and J, F, Grant, Treasurer—pboth democrat: ie former 1s a lawyer, and is a Scotch- Ivan by’ birth; the latter 1s a practical printer, and has edited and published a country paper in this State lor nearly forty years. On motion of a very radical Senator a committee was appointed to conduct the two gentlemen into the ball for ‘installation. Mr. Lindsay was then worn into oilice by the Speaker of the jouse; the Treasurer was received and recognized ranasea | Convention, Mr. Lindsay had not augural address, but made a Vv jneat little speech, : * Si TACTIOS OF THR SCALAWAGGER. The Joint Convention then adjourned, when the house appointed a committee to act with a siinilar committee on the part of the Senate, and conduct Governor Lindsay to the Executive office on Monday Mr. Boren and the Senators who remained in the vention retired to the Senate chamber anu ad- ourned till Monday morning. it was long alter higntfall when the joint Convention adjourned. company of soldiers was sent up to the Capitol, ‘ver the adjournment of the Couvention, to prote: contesting Governor, it is said. ‘ihe satiagjune. miata laagh at this solcmn insinuation that ex- eh NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER ¥%. 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. any danger from thetr hands, The Sresticn ow is, What ne) tt Mond: now nex! londay show the end of it all, but probably it will not. wit ex-Governor Smith give up the Executive oiicet 1¢ wiil make litte difference in the matter, as there are other rooms in which Mr. Lindsay can attend to the beac!

Everything was not done exactly according to precedent, thongh the law was not violated tu lettcr or spirit in the counting of the votes or mstaliation of officers, A LEGAL QUESTION, The writs of injunction were issued against “Hon.

And has a jodge the authority to forbid an oMcer domg what the constitution anquaiitiedly commands him to do within a specifica time? The end is mot yet, The House of Representatives is largety democratic, and of course will sustain the new Governor and ‘Treasurer. But, as | nave before intimated, the matter is not strictly a party ques- tion, as a large number of republicans concur with the democrats and censervatives, It is a noticeable fact that the defeated carpet- and even the defeated negro candi@ate for Secretary of State, yleld gracefully to their defeat, while the three Scalawags contend against the voice of the people. ‘The Governor and Treasurer allege in their bills of complaint that they were defeated by fraud and intimidation, but the federal officers and so! Who were scattered all over the State, say the elec: tion was perfeotly fair and orderly. ‘These two statements must be reconciled before the A gp will be satisfied as to the good intentions of contestants, PHILLIPS’ LAST MANIFESTO. Protests Against the Re- publican Party. {From the National Standard of tne week.| Tho divisions among republicuns in goveral States are no signs of hostility to the party. They are only protests by ita friends against its inactivity. Atalanta lost the race by stop- ping te pick up the golden apple. Henni- bal'’s soldiers lost Rome by waiting to enjoy Capua. And these leaders, many of them once so earnest, are vow unmanned and demoralized by a taste of the plunder. While they nestle down to cosey enjeyment or squabbie about office, the coun- try suffers, They were lifted to power by serving one great reform. That accomplished, they shut their eyesto. every other, and claim to live on their laurels, Only the dead are allowed to point to their laurels. The living must vindieate thelr right toa place in the van by constant service. The moment they cease to advance they are tredden under foot and left behind. Its remarkable how much the public interest has increased within forty years in moral qaestions, It is the general belief that government and society are bound to watch and serve, not only the bald, civil rights, but the moral improvement ana social elevation of the race. Governments are not merely scavengers to keep the streets clean, or constables to watch the back door, or savings banks to guard what misers can snatch. No; society and parties are to help temperance ana se! airol, te secure culture aad leisure, to help work out the social problems of the day, to bring to a fucus and to prac- tical results the scattered hopes and dreams of thoughtful and wise men. What was once the faint bope of far-signted philanthropists has become the ripe conviction ef the masses. One can see proof of tius change by comparing the hobbies on which men try to ride into favor and oMce to-day with the topics on which Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Adams, Lowndes and Silas Wright and De Witt Clinton spent thelr years and pewers. 1 know the wisdom and the warning ef the democratic motto, “The world is governed too much;” aad we truth of that French economy which would wait and let natural forces work out their o..n results. The change I speak of does not violate these warnings. It only affirms their general truth by claiming par- Ucular exceptions. The drum and trumpet speeches which once made fame; the plans for mere weaith- getting or comfort, which were considered grand siatesmanship, are evershadowed and dwarted by the vast and vital changes which women and the masses, which guurdians of healtn and seekers for a nobler physical development, which the student of morals aud of penal iegisiation demand or psopose. A thonght which struggles for utterance from the lips of Franklin, and which has found fuller expression and more attention from the Christian culture of this century, inspires and permeates politics. There will never be again sucha uuion of Church and State as that whicn stunted and tormented Kurope three centuries ago. But the world ts now acting on the convicuon—and will soon wake to the cousclousness that it believes— that there can be no true religion which does not include politics, and no tolerable politics which does not stand, and protess te stand, as @ haudmaid to the religious seatiment and purpose of the hour. Of this Change the leaders of the republican party do not seem to be aware. Bred in old whig er democratic schools, and living on their tradiugns, they fancy that this or that man's claim to the Presidency, this or that Idle and ephemeral theory of finance, some ola national grudge or new reé- venge, are enough to found a purty on. Such hero Worship, such dreams or spleens, may carry a local electien or serve for an hour; but at tnis day they will not cement a party er hold the government, ‘Yhey have not attraction enough to draw the best minds from business or study. If they are vo constl- tute politics, then politics will be only the trade of mean men seeking Wo get bread without earning tt, of able millionnaires using their opportunity, as blood did im the Middle Ages, to get their sons booted and spurred and the wasses saddled and bridied for such boys to ride. In Massachusetts and elsewhere we entered our Protest against such poiltics. Aware that Southern reconstruction needed an honest executive, we saw no reagon to suppose we should at presemt get a bet- ter man at Washington than General Grant. We felt, therefore, that we had no call to be parties to the attack on kis administration which some repub- licans are pianning to make next winter. We pre- ferred to turn the whole force of the party against its enemies and to rally to its support the best hearts of the Commonwealth. In order to this we sought to lift it toa pledge in behalf of temperance and the workingmen’s claims. We knew no party couid afford to risk such a step until, by some means, its leaders were shown that a fair portion of their followers scree these ideas, Hence we drew oif to be counted. While one or two inevitabie obstacies hindered a full vote, we are still elaved, more than satisfied, with our success, If the temperance body could have nominated one man for Governor and the labor party anowher, in- stead of twenty-two thousand votes we should probably have, together, thrown thirty thousand. Some temperance men would not vote for labor Governor, and very many werkingmen r fused to vote for a prohibition Governor. With sep: rate tickets labor would have given twenty thou- sand and temperance ten thousand votes. But the joint canvass had great advantages in other respects. It made the laborers in the two Heds know and respect each other. The speeches educated each In the claims of the other, and thus strengthened both causes. The marching of these two moral questions out trom republican ranks had special significance. I showed advanced thought aud the bighest morals behpobeg agamstthe iow plane of party purpose. f the other great moral movement—woman’s—had added its protest—though we should have lost yotes by such alliance—still such a joint process by all the moral ideas of the hour would have startled the public like that voice, in the Hebrew legend, which rung through the desecrated Temple, “Let ‘us aepart hence.’ But the eftect has been good and ooly good, It has breathed more earnestness into our State politics, and the seed planted wil giv,e good account of iiself. The immediate success 1s marvellous. Compare it with the first years or Itberty party or of free soil party, and testing it by number of votes, it more tan trebles or quadruples any success achieved by either of them at so early a stage. ‘Aus iclons {s it what such success should encon- rage these ranks. Within ten or fifteen years tis goverument 1 to be tested as it never has’ been ex- cept by the slave power. Associated wealth—the Selfish union of wealthy Corporations—is to do iis utmost to undermine or straugle popular liverty, In that contest popular institutions peed tue fullest ase of all the forces within their control. The self-con- trol born of temperance und the power which comes trom the organized and disciplined ranks of labor are great bulwarks agalust this pert, For mysell, though inexpressibly averse to being mixed up with party poittics, 1 did not dare to re« fuse eres when friends thought the use of it muignt help this rally in behalf of free institutions. Had there been any chance of being elected I should not, a3 I told bot committees, have allowed my name to be used. But when the object was to build up a new party that could expect pre but abuso and defeat for some years, I could not refuse it. Of course, we have just such Insults, musrepre- Sentations and avase as the old whigs and demos crats heaped on the abolitionists when they first organized a political party. Long used to these they do Dot alarm us; and though coming from the very same men who protested and whined under a like storm twenty-five years ago, they do not aurprise us. Many of those who rallied the ant-slavery party have passed om to other worlds or other labors, The camp followers now manage the machine. WEND#LL PHILLIPS, GoLD IN TEXAS.—Mr. Woodburn, who has just re- turned from a trip to Llano, Mason and other west- ern counties, informs the Gatesville Frontiersman that parties have recently discovered gold deposits in Llano county, and that there 1s some excitement in that section In consequence, Several old Spanish mines and works have been discovered, and besides an abundance of iion, gold, silver and lead have been found.

Meeting of the Board of Commissioners Conditional Permits for Structares on Piers. A Stated session of the Department of Docks was held yesterday afternoon, with the President, Jonn T. Agnew, in the chair. A large amount of routine business Was disposed of. On recommendation of the Executive Committee Permits were granted to erect bulidings and sheds on the following piers and bulkheads, providing that they should be built on wheels, so as to be bey removed:—Between 43 and 44, 14, 12, 13, 43 and 49, 29, 10, 20 and 21 and 23 Kast rivor, and 5, 9, 14, 2%, 26, 8, 83 and 6 North river. The amount of rent for wharves and slips col- lected by the Department of Locks during the month of October, 1870, is $56,450 70, which amount was patd over to Jotin J. Bradiey, city Chamberlain. On motion, Superintendent Westervelt’ was re- qnested to repair bulkhead between piers Nos. 61 and 52 East river, and the matter of repairing the piers on each side, part of which only belong to the city, be referred to the Executive Committee. Superintendent Westervelt, was ordered to repair the bulkhead between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, North river, at a cost not to exceed $400, Attention was called to the opinion of the Corpo- ration Counsel, namely:—That if the Board of Docks extend the pier at the foot of Twenty-fiffh street, East river, Messrs, Canby & Co. will have no right to the pier. The optnion of the couns:) was erdered on file and Superintendent Westervelt directed to make the necessary repairs. Attention was called to communications between General George B.
