Montgomery, December 6. The Radical Convention, to-day adopted memorial to Congress, requesting an alteration or amendment of the reconstruction laws, so as to require only a majority of registered voters voting on the question to determine for or against the adoption of the Constitution.

An ordinance was passed to protect electors. It provides for the punishment of persons who intimidate voters, deceive them as to the day of elections, the candidate to be voted for, &c.

An ordinance was passed declaring all debts made for the purchase of slaves absolutely void, and setting aside all judgments or decrees by any of the State Courts since 11th July, 1861, upon all evidences of debt based upon the sale or purchase of slaves. The ordinance also declares null and void, at the option of either party, all contracts for the sale of lands made between January 11th, 1861, and May 9th, 1865, when the purchase money is unpaid or title deeds remain unexecuted, unless paid for or contracted to be paid for, in United States currency or property other than slaves. All notes and other evidences of debt outstanding and unpaid, given for or in consideration of Confederate currency or bonds, are declared null and void.

The President of the Convention, who is the radical nominee for Supreme Court Judge, opposed this ordinance, declaring it could not be sustained in the courts.

The Committee on Disabilities recommended a number of persons in each County, to Congress, for relief of political disabilities, on account of their advocacy of reconstruction.

The ordinances to suspend all State Courts, except the Supreme, Probate and Criminal Courts, was defeated by a tie vote.

The memorial to Congress, in favor of extension of time for completion of railroads in this State, was defeated by Bingham and the extremists, who desire Congress to revoke the grant of lands made to Southern Railroads, and appropriate it to the education of freedmen.

There was a good deal of legislation by the Convention this week, looking to the maintenance of the radical party in political power.

The Convention adjourned at 2 o'clock, subject to the call of its President, or the Military Commander, if re-convened before January 1st, 1869.

The radicals are holding a grand mass meeting at the Capitol to-night, to enlighten freedmen, touching their rights under the Constitution.
