Richmond, Wednesday, January 29. The convention adopted a resolution asking General Schofield to allow voters to register where they mav reside at the time of the election.

During the debate a conservative used these words; •‘those Infamous tyrants, Congress-” Soma confusion followed, several mombers claiming that the word* were disorderly. The question was left uneeiled. The order of tbe day coming up a member demanded the expulsion of the reporter of the DUpatdt on account of a statement made In that paper.

claiming that the majesty should be vindicated by at least the leader of th* rebellion. He closed with a cheerful resume of the condition of the South; eight ot these States, he believe I, would be represented here tn Novcra' er. Sir. Buckslcw spoke In opposition to the

bill.

In the course of reintrks Mr. Buckalew quoted from Morton and Trumbull's speeches, and made the assertion that In every .Southern State except two tbe number of white voters exceeded that of tbs colored voters. He then referred to the Tribune and WorlSt almanacs and other authorities, tint in Mississippi, Alabama, Lnul-lana, Florida and South Carolina tbe black vets oxceded the white, and In Georgia it was about equal. Mr. Sherman a-ked whether that waa not caused by the fact that while citizens refused

to register.

Mr. Buckalew said that was not the point he was arguing and went on to say that only in Arkansas there was such a preponderance of white registration that an election would certalnlv be dt-lermeu by ihatroce. Hathereforeh eld that between a full regulation of tbe black vote and a partial disfranchisement ot the whites that negro supremacy was an intv-

ttatable result.

Mr. Sherman said the first reconstruction supported by him dUfrancbbed no whites, and he had always regretted that any m*n was prevented from yoilng.b* being convinced that when suffrage was extended to all nernes It should have been extended to all the

male clt1z»n tn tbe South: but the Democrat!' members of tbe House united with the majority of tbe rebellion members in voting down that liberal proposition, or resorting to political treaties to prevent a vote, thus forcing Congress to tbe adoption of the act as it was passed. After reciting the subsequent action of Congress, be stid but f*r that combination between tbs Demo, crats and a portion of the Republicans, there doubtless would be a majority of white men In those Htates; if, however, they chose to forego registration rather than have it without negroes,Tt was not the fault of Congress, and they could not complain. No doubt they could step forward In every State, even in Georgia, in view of their superior intelligence and capacity for politics, and control the majority at

any time.

Mr. Buckalew said the point he made could not be covered by words. The question of responsibility for acts of the period referred to by the Senator, was discussed fully at tbe time, 'Whatever difference* there were In the ranks of the majority, the Democratic members had opposed all their proposittotas. He bad told them all they bad t6 do was to Join the Democratic party In rejecting the amendment, but tho Idea was to pass tbe House bill, and to hold the minority responsible In some

way.

It was true tho Senator had then opposed disfranchisement; but afterwards yielded to the dictation of the master of the house, as others bad dono before and since. Disfran-

N«w Orleans, Walnesday, January 29.

Article N*. 90, aa adopted by the convention, disfranchises all persons who shall have been convicted of treason, petjury, forgery, bribery, or othsr crimes; punishable by imprisoment at hard labor are paupers, and persons under interdiction, all loaders or officers of guarrltl* bands during the late war. The following are disfranchised until after the lit January, 1878: All peroons who before the 1st June, 1861, held the office of Vice-Presi-dent, Secretary of Stste, Secretary of War, Secretary of tbe Interior, Secretary of the Treasury, PoetmosterUeoeral.Attorney General, members of Congress, Judgee of tbe Supreme, Circuit and District Courts of tbo United State*.Governors and Lieutenant Governors of this State or other States, Judges of tbaSupreme and District Courts ofthleState, members of th* Legislature of this State since the adoption of the constitutlQB of 1862, who

approved or encouraged sec**tlon.

Commissioned affioars af tha army or navy of th* United State*, who war* at any time engaged tn the lata rabaltton, provided th* Legislator* may, by the 6th of May, by a vote

chtsemcnt has been crested by the political majority. They had been told by Mr. Stearns that the disfranchisement bill would only disfranchise 6,000 to 10,000; the Senator from Indiana now called It 60,000. He (Buckalew) had l>een laughed at tor estimating It at 60,000 at first; but it was at least 800,000, as could be seen by the census and other returns, as that was the number who did appear at tbe registration. He read tbe question and sold the act of March 23, left neither tn the same condition- Tbe act of July was alleged to be simply dectarratory of tbe existing laws. He read from a circular; used at the Southern electrons, a list ' of persons disfranchised, saying that magistrates and constables, and even militia officers are to be disfranchised under the provision tn exclude all State officers concerned la the execution of the State laws. This, he said, would exclude more constable* alone than tbe whole disfranchised, according to Mr. Morton’s estime. lie replied affirmatively to tbe question by Mr. Edwards, whether tbe Pennsylvania constables were obliged to take

tbe oath.

Mr. Hendricks asserted that all tbs civil officers were excluded whether they hod

taken tbs oath or not.

Mr. Conkltng said It bad been found that In Virginia and elsewhere, officeholders had dispensed with taking any oath, for the purpose of having Immunity In that respect, and tbe law having been oyaded in that way, Congress had changed the law to meet that case. Mr. Hendricks said that at all tbs courts U was made finally to go to the exclusion of per-

sons who bad not taken an aath<

Mr, Buckalew rrad from the Constitution of 1789 the requirements of all oaths to be taken

by executive and Judiciary State officers.

Mr. Edmunds referred to the opinion of the Attorney General specifying the classes excluded, and said that to be a State officer, a man must be appointed by a Stale, not by

a township.

Mr. Buckalew reiterated that such classes were disfranchised by them. He then went on to combat a portion of Morion’s argument not answered by Mr. Johnson. He uaderThe stood the guarantee by the constitution of republican forms of goveinment to be s guarantee tn their favor and not agsinat them; and argued that It was for the purpose of protection from invasion or Ineurrecuon; and a security of a republican form of government, aitber that originally aaUblishad, whether amended or not, or one established by tbe people of a State; this power was not to create or establish, but simply to preserve. It did not Justify reconstruction on the present, plan or as a substitute for the war power at It -had bean claimed; but did Impose upon Congreta tha

dear duty of^reoogDialng government* there Ize the dictation or provision af fundamental law* or constitution* which was nttamptad by this legislature. Instead of guaranteeing

onet over tba rights of parson and property, crushing out tbe dearest rigbt guaranteed to

us by our fathers?

Suppose a war of races should arise they must vote men and money to meet that atate of thing* until even a more despotic system was established. He appealed to them to pause in their course. If they did not no ane could doubt that their motive* war* to retain their present unjust share of power in the nation. This legLUtion was Intended aa a guarantee to tbenuelves and agalnat the people, so that they eould hold it deaplt* the Gonatltutlon. They trampled It under foot In the face of all history, which condemned their oourae. Ha denied that th* President hail any more right or, under ordinary circumstances, more business than Congress to act up a State government during the war. -Ha had certain powers In establishing provisional governments, but could not interfere (further with their governments without subDitttng the question to a vote of the people. The President, In this policy of reconstruction, did not Impose any terms. Tbe Secretary pf State merely wrote an advisory letter to those engaged In reconstruction, setting forth whet would be agreeable to other State*. The President left It all to the people themselves

The interest having been unpaid, the holders of the bonds several years ago fereclosed this mortgage, and aold the mortgaged real estate.
