Legislature - of Governor POWs Anntral ,Messag&---laws for the Relief - ljejators and traditors,Proposed, ---General Good Bihavior of the Freedmen---Theylsieo FUrther. Protection in the Matter of 'Contraotse , r.. TheGoverndesArgu ments'Againstthe Constitutional Amendment. MotirroOltamr Ala., Tuesday, N0v..13i The Alabama agislature met, to-day. Gov: Patton's message is mild, and free from the objectionable epithets which have charac terized several similar documents from other Southern Executives. He recommends as a relief for debtors; a law under which the creditor can collect an nually the interest and e portion of the principal of his claim, and arg,ues that no thing is - more definitely settled than that a State has the right to regulate the proceed ings-of its own Courts in regard to the en forcement of contracts. Remedies for this purpose may be made applicable to past contracts as well as those of the future. He further says that it wouldhe as competent for the Legislature to prohibit a preferred and exclusive lien under a judgment, as it would be to prohibit a preference in the as- Ognment of property for the benefit of a single creditor. . He is of the opinion that the freedmen generally are entitled to credit for good be havior. In referring to contracts with them he says there haVe been some exceptional instances of bad faith, which are strongly suggestive of the necessity of legal remedy. These exceptions are where employers of freedmen have, by captions unreasonable ness, sought and even created pretexts for finding fault with their employes, and dis charging them without pay, alleging a vio lation or contract on the part of the freed men. The only remedy left the freedman is a suit for his wages, and this is so tardy as to be scarcely worth pushing. He is pleased Irish the experiment of admitting colored testimony,, and' recommends a removal of all restrictions in that particular. He also recommends that 9. portion of the poll or capitation tax collected from freedmen be ippropriated for the education of colored ebildren. RegardingtheConstitutional Amendment, be opposes the first section because it gives enlarged judicial powers to the General Go vernment, such as would not only over shadow and weaken the authority and in fluence of the State Courts, but might possi bly reduce them to a complete nullity. It would - give • to the United States Warts complete and unlimited jurisdiction over every-conceivable ease, however important or however trivial, which could arise under Sate laws. Every individual dissatisfied with the decision of a State Court might apply to a Federal tribunal for redress. It matters not what might be the characterof his case—it might be civil or criminal, it might be a simple action of debt or a suit in trover, it might be an Indictment for assault and battery, for larcenl, for burglary, tbr arson, or for murder, it would be all the same; upon a simple complaint that nia rights, either of person or property had seen infringed, it wuuLci be the bounden outy of the tribunal to which he made his pplication, to hear and determine his case. The granting of such as immense power as this over the State tribunal, would, at the very best, subordinate them to a canditiou t comparative unimportance and insignifi cance; and might prove utterly destructive - of- that full security for tins enjoyment of all the legal rights of property and those effec tive guarantees against...arbitrary. oppret- . non which the people have found in our present judicial system ever since the or ganization of the. Government:. In opposing the second section, he uses the favorite argu ment of this section, that it is unjust in its operation against the South, because it de. creases its representation in Congress, and &les not affect the North - similarly. He eays that the third section establishes a t test of eligibility for office, odth Federal and State i which is "not only unecessary and unjustly proscrip tive, but which might poasibly lead to, the most ruinous consequences. Experience has demonstrated incontestably that the in serest of the Government does not require subh a rigid and discriminative test. -The - officials chosen since the war to conduct the toperations - of she non-represented States, have had numerous and embarrassing di tli culties to contend with;;' but, amidst all these discouraging embarrassments, they have firmly and faithfully discharged their public duties, in strict. harmony with the Constitution and laws of_the United States. They, as well as the people fur whom they - Itct,fullv recognize their indissoluble identity ',with the Union, and are earnestly and hon estly laboring to maintain it in its consti tutional integrity. All those facts show that the people may be safely allowed the un trammeled privilege of choosing their own agents from among those who ate eligiole to positions of public trust under -the Constitution as it now stands. The people of the States which are now denied representation in Congress, would not mur mur at any standard of patriotism or test of loyalty to the general Government which might be applied to their professions and conduct since the close of the war. If pulaishments are to bbSinflicted fur pre ceding conduct, surely the pains and penal tieS proscribed by the laws now standing ;'upon the national statute b ok are amply sufficient for the purpose. They are cer tainly rigorous enough- to accomplish all legitimate purposes of any Government ...controlled .by true statesmanship. If the disabilities imposed by this third section be intended as a punishment for netts heretofore committed. the Amend ment would operate practically as an ex post facto law, which is 'contrary to the whole spirit of modern civilization. The creation of a peffillty to be imposed as a punishment Mean act, after that particular act has been cm:Omitted, is'a thing unknown in the his tory of enlightened liberty: Such a mode of dealing with citizens charged with of fences against Government belongs only to despotic tyrants. It may accomplish re vengeful purposes, but it is not -the proper node "of adnoinistering justice. The adop• - .ties of this amendment would vacate , nearly all ; the offices in most of thannrepre- Sented - States. It would summarily , and ruthlessly saweep - aWssv - - Governors, Judges,: Legislaturee, Sheriffs, Justicos of the ,a!pz,7mt:termr, THE SOUTH ' Peace and' constables, and . thus the State Governments would be completely broken • up; indeed, they would berredueed to utter hotieless anarchy, ,as titer destroyed Stites could leave behind them no authorita live provisions for the re-establishment of governmental order. ' The g'Z'S af m ass of the people in the non-represented States are Low practically . excluded from all Federal offices by a stringent teat oath - vehicle was placed upon, the statute book while the war. is - ptarraging; We havelighbfficial'autherity for sayinglhat the disabilities imposed by ' that test oath are seriously detrimental to the inteeest of the Governmenthe some ofiteini portant branches. Communications to this effect were addressed to Congress at itarecent session by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General of that - Ducky was appealed to for relief.- There Is no itulty in finding men whosepresent loyalty is undoubted, and who would make effioient revenue Collectors and. Postmasters, but the inexorable test oath is so broad and sweep ing that the Government is deprived of their p•ervices. It.was clearly in the power of Ccu!gress to grant the relief asked for by a majority vote, but I am not aware that was done in a single instance. This pro. pc.sed third section would not only add te • early to the disabilities of the test oath, but it would abridge the relieving power of Congress by requiring a vote of two-thirds instead of aesiajority. After reviewing the whole subject, the Governor eaye: "I am decidedly of the opin ion that this amendment should not be rati fied. The first section embodies a principle dangerous to the liberties of the people of the 'whole country, and is as applicable to New York and Massachusetts as to Ala bama. I TEe third section would bring- no possible, good to"-the rePreeented States, while it' ould reduce those unrepresented to niter anarchy and rain. We are sincerely desirous of a complete restoration of the Union. We rant conciliation, harmony, and national tranquillity. Vie feel that we have given every evidenceof an honest purpose to conform. in good faith to the condition of thing surrounding us. Alabama is as true to-tay to the Constitu tion, Jews and General Government as any Htate of the Union. Under the Internal Re venue law tax on cotton the people of the Suite are now paying a revenue to the Ga vernment, of nearly ten millions of dollars a year. In the enactment of these laws we have bad no voice. The Amendment was proposed when nearly one-third of the States were unrepresented, and elk its harsh features aimed at the States thus excluded. The ratification of such an Amendment, under such circumstances, cannot accom plish any good to the country, and might bring irretrievable disaster. The Meteoric Shower. NEW HAV.M, Nov. 13,—Last night a party of from twelve to eighteen observers, under the direction of Professor Newton, counted from the tower of. Alumni Hall six hundred and ninety-six shooting stars in five hours and twenty minutes. At twelve o'clock they came at the rate of about eighty to the hour, increasing to one hundred and eighty-the last hour before .dawns average for the whole time, one hundred and thirty to the hour. Not more than one-third were conformable to the radiant in Leo. Another party observing at Sheffield Scientidc School, obtained results agreeing in the wain with the above. Similarobservations will be kept up to-night- Cnlcs.oo, November 13 --:-The meteoric shower at Chicago, partially promised for last night, was a earl disappointment both to the curious and to the astronomers, as the meteors were scarcely more numerous or brilliant than may be seen on any clear night in the fall of the year. From eleven to one o'clock about one hundred and fifty were counted by Professor Safford, of the Chicago Observatory. They ap peared to eeme mostly from the c.mstella lion Leo, in the East, and to move - in nearly a horizontal direction, though many fell obliquely and perpendicularly, and the d irec bon varied as the constellation changed its position. One very brilliant meteor, about 1 o'clock, started from near the con stellation Canssii.ced, and,desoribing a para bolic curve, extended entirely across the eastern heavens, finally sinking below the horizon. The first part of the night was c.ear and cool, and very favorable for in vestigation; but shortly after 1 o'clock a haze came up, and the heavens were soon densely - overspread, so that no further ex hibition could be witnessed. WAsmnixoTox„Nov. 13.—The general me • teoric shower continues at 11 P. M., to be a thong the things expeoted. The popula tkin here is on the qui vive, notwithstand ing that it is one of the coldest though clear est nights of the season. The fire alarm tele graph keeps men constantly on the lookout so that the appearance of the phenomena may be promptly announced by the usual fire-signals on the city bells. There is a be lief among some that the great event took place last night unobserved by the naked . eye. The professors at the - National Observatory who were upsall night, looking through the large telescopes, counted over. 400 meteors be tvieen 10 P. M. and sunrise,and to-night the display, as seen through the glass,is smaller and' fainter. The officers of the observatory, hoWever, are confident that a great shower of meteors will take place before morning, or on to-morrow night. It is evident by to night's observations that it' has not been going on during to-day. LA. M.—The National Observatory report seeing a few meteors to-night, but the sky is becoming cloudy, thus preventing a full view. Personal. Bays the New York Times: Rev. H. W.

Y. Times.' CITY OP KiNXICO, Monday, Oct. 22, 286: Maximilian lett this city yesterday- for the coast. The extraordinary courier for the , steamship-Ma nhattan had been" allowed to depart without the information thatthe Em peror would eo soon abandon the - capital; out he has gone with no- stir or commotion. The populaceltnew thaMe had departed at mid-day yesterday only through the me dium of the tardily issued morning jour naLs, whose editors hoped to be able to an , nounce that the departure- of His Majesty took place at dA. M., while thousands - and , thousands of the people ansembred to see hint leave. To-morrow MnSilmilian and Gem Castel 'Ban, Louis Napoleon's Aid and. Special :Commisaioner to - Mexico, will meet at the City of Puebla,. At this meeting we'are promised that all the qttestions relating to ibis country, in which both Prance and our Hapsburg hero have interests- i will be dis cussed and settled, and we are informed, through the ,Patria, the organ of the .Ministry, that what is determined upon be tween the Emperor and Castelnan will be given to the public- soon after the final ar ranaements are determined upon. It is asserted by many - that the Emperor will not meet Geo. Castelnau, that evacua tion and abdication are already determined upon, that Maximilian is already- advised twat- Santa Anna's first expedition has landed at Tampico, and all hopes for the Empire thereby crushed. The crisis is nere. What in the change ? Whom shall we expect to see at the Na tional Palace, Conservatives, Extremists, Liberals? The Commercial Mcertiser and some metropolitan journals, I observe, have en deavored to excuse the evacuation of the Northern States of Mexico by the Imperial forces as-a gain and a strategicalfeat. How e iii tbasejournals account for the appear ance of several large and well provided Li beral armies in the valleys of Mexico, Tol two and Tehnaestn? What are they to say —when within the immediate vicinity of these mystic halls—to three Liberal soldiers to one Imperialist? If the whole line of frontier de partmenh3 ate evacuated, that the central and wealth-producing States may be see_ cnrely held, why are there 10;000 Liberal soldiers fighting their myriad campefires this autumn evening within view of the capital? Why are all the dthgenees stopped within ten miles of Mexico, and the mail and arms of the passengers appropriated, the business communications assorted from the official, the flzmer replaced and the lat ter held, while no passenger suffers any loss beyond that of his firearms? - Santa Anna's role as Liberator is dis cussed with little excitement. Jibe has se cured the active co-operation of a number of thousands of Fenians,officered by earnest veterans of the late war, they may sweep all before them on a march from any point of the Gulf coast to this place. Rut here they will have to halt, No number of men less than 50,400 can capture the City of exico, defended as it now is by 160. pieces of artillery manned by French Regulars. there is, we grant, danger that a six weeks' siege would starve theloapital into a surrender, for famine alresdy holds aloft ner gaunt and deathly arms. On the plazas, Publicpublicegnares of Pae bla, Mexico,Queretaro and Morelia, the press announcesthat men are crying, ban:bre—hanger. Yet ,I believe hese people would have the death scourge of famine a long time befine they would hail Santa Anna as their chieftain. The people 1-el that be is wholly responsible for the wide roads of ruin which Napoleon's for eign legions have been cuttinc across their country for five long years. They hold him responsible for the-legions of their country, men whom Dnpin and•other French blood hounds have murdered without trial or rea son: responsible, also, for the desolation which four years ofbarbarons warfare have spread over , their agricultural and raining districts. There are elements of discord already preparing that will render the page' of his tory immediately succeeding the close of •he Empire a dark and shameful one for lilt-a-icons. Unfortunately, the levers-of peace are too few in numbers to accomplish the aims of peace, or to convince many of the unsettled troublesome characters that order is better than alarms and feudal strug girs. Still more unfortunate the indolent, unsettled. and vagabond races aro too nu merous and too thoroughly imbued with the spirit of antagonism, and too indifferent to principle and patriotism to secure their influence or• enlist them in sustaining any cause led by some fiendish and outlawed leader. If France abandons a losing cause, which is growing into a still more disastrous one to ner;if England; cares nothing for her, and the - United States does not interfere,weshall e o this country the desolated,land that un checked brigandage and unpzinoipled , strife will turn any country into. Spanish-American blood will not cure Mexico. Her sores have been opened too many times by her own children, and we are on the eve of fresh woonds, and Atneri l cans mast not flatter themselves with the idea that the treacherous Spanish and In dian character has any special love lor them. Maximilian's Cabinet, which is now thoroughly Conservative—the idol of the Church—a Cabinet which promised more and executed less titan any of its many shortlived predecessors. As undoubtedly it will be the last Cabinet which a Hapsburg Prince pr Archduke will gather around his throne on the Western continent, a list of their names is worth prestuwing. They are: SE fiat.
