Montgomery, November 5. Today the Congressional plan of reconstructing the South on a negro basis was formally inaugurated here. The Alabama convention met at noon and was temporarily organized by the appointment as chairman of Albert Griffin, of Ohio, now editor of the negro paper, the Nationalist, in Mobile, and a prominent actor in tho Kelley riot. Of the one hundred delegates elected, eighty-four were present sixteen of that, number being blacks. The one single Conservative elected was in his seat, and thus, with a Radical majority of eighty-thrco, the initial convention of tho Sherman-Shcllabsrger plan began.

Let me describe the personnel of that convention, taking its members in alphabetic order. First comes Thomas Adams, of Clay county, a plain farmer-like looking man, somo fifty years of age, and so obscure as to have no discpverablo political antecedents. After him, Ben. Alexander, of nale, a negro of tho ordinary type of field hand. J.

L. Alexander, of Elmore, a native of Alabama, who served for a time as a private in company First Alabama infantry, C. S. a commonplace character aud not over highly spoken of by his comrades, though nothing to his actual discredit is alleged. A.

J. Applegatn, of a North Alabamian, chiefly known for a squabble with Figures, tenth rate demagogue, of Huntsville, who in some way put him (Applegatc) to the route with two negroes. Wm. A. Austin, of Jackson, a plain countryman, native Alabamiau, who has been for some twenty years back in the State Senate, and was a member of the secession convention in '61.

J. H. Autry, of Calhoun, is a tall," worn looking person, dressed in rude homespun, and bearing an air of general mental and habilimontary dilapidation. Arthur Bingham, of Talladega, is a small man with a chin beard, who seems possessed of some sprightliness, which he normally diffuses on the Freedmen's Bureau, whereof he is an official. D.

H. Bingham, of Lauderdale, would answer to Spencer' 8 old. old man, with board as white as snow," but for the fact that this beard is dyed of a preternatural black, with the white only appearing in a thin line next to the face that it adorns. Mr. or Captain Bingham is, however, of indubitable age, the oldest man hv nerhaDs fifteen years of any in the convention, and the intensity of his Radicalism is entirely co-ordinate with his lengthened span oi lite.

It is a piti able sight to behold this ancient with his poor, old, dyed beard, and his glazing eye and quivering mouth, rise tremulously in his seat to mumble out the ixtrcmest doctrine of his sect Like fivand-twenty of his. colleagues, the Captvn has a constitution in bis pocket, and thl chief points in this document ore the disfranchisement ot all rebels and thn An forced settlement, in the pre sent currency, of all trust estates lost ia Alabama during the war by fiduciary investment, under State acts, in Con- fodaratA ROCIiritieS. II. Black is a Northern man of small size and little note, Rlackford ia likewise a Northern manj a bureau official, and the wearer of one of the two really clean suiris in iuc convention. Altogether, Mr.

Blackford id a rnnut ahln looking person, and would not be out of place in the Legislature of bin nun Slntn in the Wort II. Mark D. Brainard, of New Yerk, is a very, very young man, with a florid chuck and a coming mustache He is a postbflice clerk, has something to do with the bureau, and is said, whan elected, in accordance with tbe programme for Monroe, not to havo known exactly where "his county" lay. Alt'rwd E. Buck, of Maine, is not otherwise noticeablo thau for the singularity of his sobriquet in Mobile, which he Charles W.

Buckley, of Massachusetts, is a clergyman who ministers to iniritnnl nneda of the Bureau, and is an educational superintendent also of that organization. Ilis brother, W. M. Buckley, likewise of Massachusetts, of course, represents the wealthy county of Lowndes, and is thought to bear a facial resemblance to the late lamented John Brown, of peripatetic soul. J.

II. Burdick, of Iowa, speaks the sentiments of Wilcox, which sentiments, in this rendition, are fiercely radical. Pierce Barton, of Massachusetts, was removed from the Bureau for writing a letter to the Springfield Jicpublican, advocating a repeal of the cotton tax, but as tbe negroes favor that view the breach has been healed, and Mr. B. is the delegate from Marengo.

C. M. Cabot is a Northern man, who wm in tho reconstruction convention of Go, which be is now, in '67, seeking to reconstruct in turn. John Carroway is a light mulatto with a- "back hair" of mngnificent proportions. At its supremo altitude this ornament extends fully five inches straight out from tbe nape of tbe neck, forming a right augle very comely to the eye.

Mr Carroway ia assistant editor of the Mobile Nationalist, and it is a matter of professional courtesy to thus record his distinguishing attribute. Alfred Collins is a plain, clean-shaved middle aged divine, bo was in the Legislature of '65. I). K. Coon, of Iowa, and lately a brigadier in the United States army, is a small man of rather Jewish look.

He "represents" Dallas, and gave the convention quite a turn to day by introducing a resolution about Joseph II. I'avis, of Randolph, is an Alabamian.said to have served as surgeon in the Uoited Slates army and to have reconstructed Alabama once before, to-wit in tho convention of '65. It Iral, of Dale, is also one of those mho did the work negligently in li-bo. He is a ltptist preacher, and let us hope has hru success in reconstructing souls lhnuvere'gnlie. Thomas Diggs is a negro whose beau is grizzled and whose hue is brown.

He "rcprcicru" Barbour, and makes a beautiful cre mark when stgniog bis uniuuiiwitc. 9. I viry I Vi- )A St LAKUrxr CITY CIUCCLATIOW. Dustaa, of Illinois, is an ex-general ollicer of the United States army. No particular antecedents.

George J. Dykes, of Cherokee, is an Alabamiau 'and a Radical not Conser' vative, as at first reported. There was some dispute as to this gentleman's views and the contention seems to have Inft him exceedingly red in the face. Radical heat" perhaps, as Uncle Toby would say. George Ely, of Massachusetts, is a snug little man, with neat whiskers and nicei' smooth hair.

He lives here and represents Russell county. Mr. E. is brother of that Congressman Ely who came to grief at the first Manassas. W.

T. Ewiug is one of the original Moulton leattuers, who in 1865 first organized the Radical party of Alubama. He has stiff, badgcry-gray hair, that shoots fiorcoly upward, like Andrew Jackson's; and, like Jackson, will hear of no compromises. James Falmer is James Falmcr, which is obscurity itse.f. Peyton Finloy is a city negro, who once held the doors open for members in that very chamber where he now sits as a delegate, and if my memory does not fail, I have for my poor self paid him, on "a full day" tribute to the extent of thirty-five cents currency for a chair.

Mr. Fiuley being of huge size I forbear further reminiscence, lest in the exalted position to which the wisdom of my country has assigned him, it should strike him as desirable to annihilate tho recorder of unwelcome annals. Samuel S. Gardner, of Massachusetts, is a bureau official. W.

Garrison is a rough-looking old Alabamian, heretofore unknewn. Two editors, two reporters, and a Secretary of State looked at him and could not make him out G. W. Graves ia a Virginian who was first a carpenter and thon taught himself medicine, which he now practices. Early Greathouso is a Baptist preachor, but a preacher after such fashion as would make the well-kidded and neat necktied ecclesiastic of Gotham gasp and stare, His appearance and political "views," and, doubless, theological tenets also, are comprised in one word, and that word is "rough." There is but one thing about Elder Greathouse that is at all smooth, and that is his tongue; but apt as this is, it is at least problematical whether a knack at "exposition" is exactly the thing whereby to restore tbe heaviest cotton producing State in tbe Union, as Alabama is, to prosperity and peace.

James K. Grean is a negro who takes the name of the master whose carriage he once drove. The name of this statesman does not appear on the signed list, from a modesty which withheld his sole signature, an mark. Ovide- Gregon is a light mulatto from Mobile, whose thin lips, keen-cutjaws and furtive eyes seem to body forth a Malay-type of man. It was this Ovide who, as the phrase goes, "busted Bus-teed," withdrawing the favor of Ethiopia, on one occasion, from that sagacious and admirable judge.

Albert Griffin, of Ohio, is the. editor of tho Mobile negro organ, and, as stated, had the honor of primarily presiding over the convention." But far a trifle youth and a trifle lestf unconsciousness, A. G. might well be taken for Mr. Chadband, and, like that good man, hides by a certain outward greasiness much inward venom.

lis is a hitter Radical, and has, perhaps, a majority in the convention to back him. Jordan Hatcher, of Dallas, is a grizzled negro of lightish hue, who, after a not unusual fashion, takes his former master's name. James H. Howard, of Crenshaw, the only Conservative in tbe Convention, is a fine, soldierly looking young man, and native Alabamian. R.

M. Johnson, of Illinois, misrepre-sents'Cofiee county. Wasb. Johnson has tbe very blackest skin and tbe very worst signature of any patriot of the whole eighty-three, ills hue is, without jest, a jet black, and his autograph, the sum total ef his writing abilities, might stand equally well for Smith, or Van Laudt, or Schemerhorn, A. W.

Jones is a ghost That is to say he is tbe gentleman who was barbarously murdered by a "rebel outrBge" which originated here in Montgomery and killed him off successively in every truly loyal sheet in the country. Mr. J. writes a very spectre-like hand and misrepresents Conecuh. C.

Jones is a yellow nefro, who, on being called up to the secretary's desk to register his name, expectorated with a refreshing abandon that provoked a general smile, and then made bis mark, John O. Keffer, of Pennsylvania, is chairman of the Radical Executive Committee, and is known to the malig-nants as the "head devil" of the Loyal League. He is a protege of Forney's, has been connected with the Philadelphia Press, and by virtue of strict patriotism has put money in bis purse, lie was a candidate fur President of the Convention, but withdrew. Thomas Lee, of Perry, is a negro who finds that it assists him very much in signing his name to lean his head quite on one side, and not be in a hurry about it. He is very black.

W. McGown comes from Tallapoosa, the habitat of Simon Suggs, whom McGown resembles. Otherwise unknown. J. J.

Martin is a military appointee probate judge. A Southern man. Charles A. Miller, of Maine, wears the second of the two clean shirts in the convention. He was for six years clerk of the Maine House of Representatives, and is an ex Federal army officer, a major.

A. C. Morgan is from the North, very extreme ia bis politics, but personally presentable. J. T.

Morton was in the United States army, also in the reconstruction convention of 1865. Thomas S. Peters, of St Lawrence, is an Alabamian of some tertiary note. It M. Reynolds, of Iowa, has been six months in Alabama, and very naturally "knows all about it" He is an ardent loyalist Lafayette Robinson and Benjamin Rolfe are either whites or blacks, and it is impossible at dale of writing to say which, things are so mixed in convention, the races sitting check by jowl, and everybody being Mr.

H. C. Russell, of Barbour, is said to hare been at the close of the war under sentence of death for mutiny. He 11 now a truly loyal maa, and purposes to have the name of Bullock county changed to Lincoln. R.

V. Norria, o( Maine, is a truly loyal maa. lie was a nitra Oleics 1 ommis- sary, has bought a large plantation, and large man, with a large beard and a I hig forehead, and a wide nostril two of I E-DGrER tlicm--ihat scent treason in every galo. Mcjor Norris cannot abide rebel preachers, but tho savor of a Union clurio is sweet unto his soul. Therefore he vigorously insisted lo-day that none but a safo chaplain should be elected, and on this rock the convention split Into adjournment.

W. Peck, of Tuscaloosa, is an old Alabama lawyer, and a good one. lie is tbe pormanoot President of the Convention but never having been in public life before, is sadly at a loss for parliamentary law. Things will snarl, and the old advocate was tcutimes more weazened and adust and atrabilious when to-day's session closed than when it began. T.

J. RiiBsell, of Chambers, is animblo preacher who took advantage of a military order forbidding the running of a Conservative ticket in his county io secure an election. The reverend gentleman was in the secession convention of '61, but now favors a strict adherenco to that precious and searching testimony, the test oath. B. F.

Ha fluid is a Virginian. Was a Major in tbe Confederate States army, and is now military mayor of Sclma and a truly loyal man. Homy C. Scmple is a Virginian and nephew of ex President Tyler, whose private secretary be was. J.

Silsby, of Massachusetts, is a bureau reverend. William Skiunor is the best speaker so far heard in convention. He is rapid and furious, which met hearty applause, one shrill cry of exultation bursting forth at a peculiarly severe assult on tbewhito population of tbe State. Joseph H. Speed, of Virginia, is a cousin of Attorney General Speed, was a Captain C.

S. and afterwards C. S. salt agent of Alabama. M.

D. Stanwood defies effort to locate him. It is thought, however, that he is from Massachusetts, where he a brother. He has been a cattle drover to California, and is credited with several negro disturbances more or less seriouB in this Slate. J.

B. Stow is a Northern man, resident here for some years. Alfred Strotber is a negro of intense blackness, and would have gone to sleep at one time in convention, but for a timely witticism which woke a laugh in the hall. Taliaferro Towles is an original Union man. was in the bu convention, A tenth rate.

N. A. Walker, an ex-U. S. officer.

B. L. Whelan, Irish, ex-captain C. S. A.

J. W. Wilbite was in the '65 Legislature. Prior to that, 'tis said, a U. S.

sutler. J. A. Yordy, an unknown, closes tho list, and of such obscurities, nonentities, adventurers, negroes, officials, and fanatics is this sovereign convention cempoaed. rroceedings must be de ferred to another letter.

TWO MORE OF-THEM I WE THOUGHT SO I The Boston Post contains a letter from a correspondent down in Maine, who gives a pen and ink portrait ot two members of the Rump Menagerie at the capitol, the honorable delegates from Lowndes and tbe right honorable dele gate from Elmore, so-called. It will be seen that the correspondent knows all about the carpet bag gentry. We could have sworn itl Radical Missionaries. Perchance you have observed that Ben. W.

Norris and Chas. A. Miller are' figuring exten sively down in Alabama in reconstruct' ing that State on the Congressional basis. This precious Morris is a Kadi cal pet lamb belonging in this State, where his family still resides, while he is deceiving tbe people ot Alabama by pretending that ho is a citizen of that Stalo. We know him well in Maine, some of us to our cost.

The Coburns, of Skowhegan, know him to the amount of over lie was land agent of Maine until it was found that during a searching investigation of his office by a special Legislative Committee, his private account exhibited charges that bad no law to sustain them. when he was summarily ejected from his position by his Radical brethren. Miller is his brother-in-law, and several gentle men in' these parts hold numerous little mementoes of his indebtedness, when he was Clerk of the House of Representatives. Such are the missionaries sent South to make convorts to radicalism. If their skins are not black as the negroes they seek to control, their hearts are of the right color.

It would not surprsse us should Norris figure himself into the United States Senate from Alabama. WHAT THIS PIEBALD CONVFNTION IS DOINO. On the 11th inst, Mr. Speed urged that he be allowed time to prepare a minority report The majority report on the Elective Franchise is signed by Albert Griffin, John C. Keffer, B.

W. Norris and J. U. Davis. The report is too long and uninteresting for our columns.

We submit the following points, with the oath to be taken by voters. All persons before registering must take the following oath I do solemnly swear and affirm that I will support and maintain the laws of the United States, and the constitution and laws of the State of Alabama, and that if I'have ever believed in the right of a State to secede, I hereby abandon it, that I aecept the civil and political equality of all men, and agree not to attempt or countenance in others any attempt to deprive any person or persons on account of race, color or previous condition, of any political or civil right privilege or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men; and furthermore that I will not in any way injure or countenance in others any attempt to injure any person or persons on account of present or past support of the Constitution of the United States, the policy of the Congress of the United States, or the principle of the civil aud political equality of all men or of affiliation of any political party. The following classes arc disfranchised: All thoso who, during the rebellion, caused to be inflicted any cruel or nnu-sual punishment upon any soldier, sailor, marine or employe of the United States; all who, in any way violated the usages of civilized warfare those who shall have been guilty of treason, embezzlement of the public funds, malfeasance in office, crimes upon which thty have been imprisoned in tbe penitentiary, or for bribery those who, having been registered in accordance with a provision of an act of Congress for the more efficient government, shall refuse to vote for or against this constitution when it shall he submitted for ratification provided that no person shall disfranchised by thia cause where failure to vote shall be ta consequence of sickness, necessary absence from home, or any providential ifleeii VenU Per Wek. 1SG7.

Mr. Speed, from the minority committee, reported the following as the article regulating the elective franchise: Article section 1.

Both reports were ordered to be printed and mado the especial orders for tomorrow. On motion, the convention then adjourned nntil 10 o'clock to-morrow. The following notices of the proceedings of this body are from the Montgomery Mail RATHER HEAVY. The menagerie yesterday debated the proposition to declare all bastards, white and black, the legitimate offsprings of their parents. We hope that the pie-balders will insert such a provision in the new constitution.

In that event we rather think that the American citizens of Africau descent would vote down the Vermont constitution by an overwhelming majority. It would be rather a heavy affair for them to have to father and support the numerous pickaninnies lying around loose. The membhrs of the convention themselves should be careful about passing sucb an ordinance, or they will find their families increased beyond their means of subsistence. MACHINERY. S.
