Pool; Love, and Caldwell,; of Burke, urged threconsideration. Mr. Moore thought it proper that the first term of $ e Governor should be that prescribed by the ordio jce A large portion of the citizens of th? State 'era no,v disfranchised; it was to b9 hoped that all ich woui' Bon De avowed all the privileges of citi jnship, and he did not think it right for this Con 3ntion' deliberately to disfranchise them for two 2ars more, when ifc was highly probable that a gen ral amnesty woulu soo0 be granted. 5 Mr. Caldwell considered Mr. Moore's remarks a roog argument in favor M the reconsideration of the rdinance. iThe yeas and nays being ordered, the following 5ted in the affirmative: Messrs.

The resolution declaring that the result of the war j settled the question of secession, was read. lir. Boyden moved to lay on the table, as that 2stion had been decided by the Convention. Agreed Resolutions forbidding the assumption of the State T debt were laid on the table. An ordinance to declare the basis of representation 1 for other Durnoses. was read and referred to a i a ct committee of five. A message was received from his Excellency, the Dvernor, transmitting the following dispatch from , J. Powell, agent for the - State at Washington city : WA&HiuaToN, October 7, 1865. on of the Convention. I write this in his office, I he tells me to say the Convention has done what right, and that such action adds greatly to our :2Dgtn cere. Abe ordinaBce in regard to elections was read by tions ana amensea. Mr. Grissom moved to amend the first section, so to extend the term of office of the Governor and mbers of the Legislature to 1867, instead of 1866. Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, was in favor of annual ;UoDs, and thought toe constitution should be ended accordingly. - I tin.. i! i ar. rnunps approved or me poucy lnaicated in original bill, and wished the people to have an ortuoity in a short time to call their representa- i to account, as the first election; would be neces- y hasty and would lead to hasty legislation. .ie question being on the motion to strike out insert Mr. Grissom 's amendment, the conven- i retused to stnte out toy a vote ot 5J9 yeas to lays. , ',r. Logan moved to add " regular election" after word next" in the first election. .essrs.. Winston and Boyden raised a point of 2r, on tbe ground that the convention had al ly decided Dot to extend the time, and this was itantially the same proposition as that present- ij tne delegate from Granville. ; t. Caldwell, of Burk, said he was truly glad VOL. VI. that it was proposed to have an election so soon as November, as it would give demagogues and poli ticians no opportunity of exciting the public mind on partizan measures. The people left to them Belves.almost invariably did right Mr. Phillips said that free discussion was neces sary to enable the people to do right, and vote un derstahdinglj. Mr. Boyden was opposed to disfranchising citi zens for two years, who would be disfranchised at the next election. He earnestly hoped that before the expiration of two years every citizen of the State would be restored to his franchise. Mr. Phillips moved that the first decision of the convention be considered final and that the clause proposed to be amended is the sense of the body. Agreed to. Mr. Love moved to amend by requiring the leg islature to assemble on the fourth Monday in No vember, instead of the third. Agreed to. On motion of Mr Caldwed, of Burke, the word " directed" in the second section, was stricken out, and " authorized and requested" inserted. Mr. Caldwell remarked that the Provisional Gov ernor, being an officer of the United States, could not be " directed" by this Convention. Mr. Love, of Jackson, moved to add to the fifth section "and that the payment of a poll tax shall not be required at the elections in November nxt." Agreed to. Mr. Grissom moved to -add to the eleventh section "1868"iostead of "1867." This amendment ex tends the term of office of the Governor until 1868. The yeas and nays being called, the amendment was voted down. Yeas 33, nays 79. Mr. Henry movejj an amendment repealing the property qualification for voters and members of the General Assembly. Messrs. Pbillips and Boyden said they would vote egainst the amendment, as the ordinance under con sideration was intended to fill an interregnum and not to permanently alter the State constitution. The amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Furches moved to amend by providing for the election of sheriffs an clerks. Not agreed to. The ordinance as amended then passed its third reading and the Convention adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow. Divorce Case in Fashionable Life. A divorce case in the " most fashionable circles " is being tried in New London, Connecticut. The plaintiff is Jona than N. Harris, tbe maker of the patent medicine called " Perry Davis's Pain Killer," and the defen dant is his wife. Harris has been mayor of New London, and is now a member of the Connecticut Senate. A letter from New London savs : " In appearance Harris is of low stature, but rather good lookiog, and of a gentlemanly demeanor and sanctimonious aspect. He seemed to feel in court the delicacy of his position, aod his eye frequently wandered to the place where his wife sat, surrounded by her friends and children. ' Mrs. Harris Is a very prepossessing lady of forty- five. She entered the court room accompanied by two lady friends and her daughter Jennie. She did not feel in the least embarrassed, and looked around the court-room with an air of perfect ease and con6- dence. She was attired quite fashionably, in black, with jewelry adornments, fan aod smelling-bottle. She is of medium size and rather stout. She has a florid complexion, clear blue eyes and very graceful figure. Miss JenDie if a beautiful young lady ot twenty-one. She was engaged to be married to Samuel Thompson, Esq., formerly rresident oi the First National Bank of New York, but this trouble appears to have broken it off. " Tho most eminent counsel in this section nave been engaged on both sides. Their names are as follows : For Mrs. Harris, John T. Wait, Abiel (Jon- verse, Jeremiah H-ilsey. Fr Mr. Harris, Andrew C. ljippiu, Auguuus Dranuegree. " The husband s petition is based on allegations to the effect that he can prove that his wife has kept up and cultivated improper intimacies with Major William Williams, United States army, lately in command at Fort Trumbull ; Allen P. Miner, of New York city, and with various other parties not now necessary to mention. Mrs. Harris, in her petition, which is very long, sets forth and promises to prove that her husband accused her, while on their wed ding tour, of impurity before marriage, and for years. Some of the specifications are too vulgar to be re peated, and the case promises many disgusting de velopments." A nanlriranHs fifrmnn.

We are pained to hear from a gentleman of acknowledged piety and high social position, that a great tendency to gimble is evinced among the boys of this community . He says scarcely a day passes but some of them collect to gether in secluded spots, unwrap their pack of cards and put up their stakes, and deal out "seven up," "euchre," or some othsr familiar game. We under stand that beneatbthe trees on the suburbs a num ber of bays from the cjty a3S3mble regularly every day and sport for smill sunas of moaey. It is fur ther stated that children of soma of our most respect able citizens may be found in these gatherings, led astray by evil company and learning to do that which in the future may blight happiness and murder char acter. The truth is and here u just the place to say It parents do not seam to realize the responsibility that rests upon them in the particular circumstances of the present moment. Far too much attention is paid to the acquisition of greenbacks, the sacurement of fine dress and outward show, and these things to the neglect of moral and religious training. We ask pa rents to halt to manoeuvre less for the blandishments of fashion and more in tbe direction of wisely discip lining their offspring. They may depend upon it we speak of these things with a view ts their interests, the reform of the boys, and the good of society in the time to come. Ballooning. There was another balloon ascen sion last night and although minus an seronaut, it was rather a splendid exhibition. The balloon was made from twenty copies of the New York Herald, with a basket for motive power thirty-six inches deep and at the top eight inches across. It was dec orated with one union and one confederate flag, with the motto, "one and indivisible." It moved off frem the starting point in a course directly south and con tinued to mount skyward until lost to sight. It was a very successful affair and we only regret that the hour chosen for the ascension 1 o'clock, p. m. prevented a general observation of tb.3 really pretty display. Recipe ros Oyster Soup. A friend sends the annexed recipe for makiog oyster soup, and as the season for bivalvular luxuries is on us, wa print it for the benefit of our readers : Take f wo quarts of oysters, (measured solid,) and an equal quantity of oyster liquor, or water if the liquor cannot be had. Season with pepper and salt, and boil until the hearts become white ; at this point add a custard, which has bean previoadly prepared, as follows: The yolks ot six eggs to be beaten well, over which a quart of boiling milk is to be poured and stirred in. Lftt the oysters and tne custara oou ur once. Cream two table-spoonsful of butter, with two heapii-gppoonsful of fijur, and put it iu the boi -. ing soup and stir until it is melted. Pour off on hot toasted bread. A Matter of Justice. We transfer t) our col umns from the Standard of. yesterday, the following paragraph. It simply states facts : W. R Eichardstn, Eiq.By the proceedings ot the B ard of C mmissiouers, it will be seen that coi only is Mr. Richirdson entirely exonerated from all intimations whrh might affect his integritv, but his services as Treasurer were duly warded. The geu- tlemen composing the board disclaim any intention ot insinuating anything agaiost Mr. R. as a gentl -man of ru nor. The aff iir grew out of a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. R., and has been disposed ot to tbe satisfaction of ail his friends. We published in Monday's paper the proceedings to which the above refers. Ohio Elkctiqn.
