We find the following in the Ne
braska City iYeu-s, of the 2Sih. We
think Mason is sound on Southern
Relief."' He knows exactly what they
need down there. Knowledge and
correct doctrines are far more valuable
than money, is Mason's motto in re
gard to the South :
The Hon. O. P. Mason, and a gen
tie of this city, got into a discussion last
evening over the Southern Relief So
ciety, lately formed in this ciiy. Ma
son said would rather ijivh money
to send the New York Tribune down
South than to give it to the Aid S-iciety
of this place.'' Mr. replied "lor
that purpose, Mr. Mason, I will con
tribute as liberally as yourself."' Ma
son immediately "pianked" a SoO
greenback, which was immediately cov
ered by one from Mr. A draft
for S100 was immediately purchased
t McCann & Co's. Bank, and sent to
Horace Greely.
E& We find ihe following in Frank
Moore's Anecdotes of the War: "Gen.
Sherman's strategy in flanking the en
emy out of their strong position puz
zled the natives a good deal. A young
woman said it was not fair to fight the
Southern soldiers on end. She th;n
went on lo say that the day before
Gen. Brasg had formed 'two streaks
of fight in her door yard wiih 'walk
ing soldiers," and Gen. Wheeler form
ed "one streak of fijht with critter sol
diers, meaning cavalry behind the
house, but that Joe Hooker had come
up and flanked Bragg and made him
fall back, which he done in ruth a
hurry that he 'upset dad's ash-hopper
plant,' which cost two dollars isnd fifty
cents in Atlanta, and dad was goin' to
sue Bragg for u'iy.
Wlio are Hie Loyal ltepreiitu
liT9 from the Sou Hi?
It is a favorite Copperhead question,
"Why do you refuse to ad ult loyal
repre?entatives from ihe rebel States ?"
Johnson repeats it as often as parrot
says "polly wants a darker." The
Philadelphia Convention presented the
same idea in about forty different
shapes. It was the burden of their
song. But it is a sufficient answer that
the rebel States have not sent loyal men
lo Washington to i:ike seats in Con-
.1 ..i
gress, wan three or iour acciueuiai ex
cpmi.in. There are not nve men
elected from the ten unrepresented
States who can takethe oath of office
without committing perjury. It is time
enou"h to think of aduiiu.np; the rebel
Slates 10 a participation in the Govern
ment when ihev send up loyal mn to
Washington to repre:-eiit them. We
advise our Republican friends, as ofien
as the Copperheads a-k ihem theses
lion, "Why don't you admit good loya
representatives from the South to
reply : He will wait until the relets stnd
good loyal men to represent them. They
have not done so yet'
Look at the kind of '"loyal men" the
reconstructed rebels have elected to
represent them in Congress. From
Alabama. Senators Gtor;e S.
Houston, Lewis E. P.trsons, ioti rebels;

way, B. A. Davis' A. II. II. Stuart, It.

except Chandler, who is a very bad
copperhead.
Reader, this is the batch of "loyal
Union men' whom Johnson and the
Cuppeiheads aud renegades are trying
to "crow bar" in Congress ! The coun
try is threatened with a renewal of
civil war unless the doors of the Cap
itol are opeued for the admission of
those whitewashed traitors "and rebels,
including the Vice-President of th. late
Cunfedtracy. It was for ihe purpose
of forcing this- beautiful gang Hit the
National Legislature ihni the Philadel
phia Convention was convened. The
purpose of the Copperheads is very
plainly to be sen. They want to com
bin with these rebels in Congress, and
with ihe aid of a renegade President
to rule the country in the intere I of
Southern traitors and their Northern
sympathizers. It is for the people to
declare at the ballot-box whether they
will entrust the government of ihe
Union to those who preserved it or to
those who wickedly endeavored to de
stroy it.
6"A drunken lawyer, going into
church, was observed by the minister,
who said to hun: "Sir, I will bear wit
ness against you at the day of Judge
ment." The lawyer shaking his head
with drunken irravny, replied: "I have
prac'ied twenty five years at ih3 bar,
and always found the gr test rascal
ihe first lo turn State's evidence."
gSDr. Bell, au eminent London
doctor says: "The cause of cholera acts
alone at night and upon sleeping per

worst localities of the disease imperils

have seen hundred of instances of ihi
fact, without one aberration from the
statement or the propo-ition. I have
myself spent many a night m these lo
calities djriag the ravages of the epi

In the heat of the contest now goin?
on between ihe loyal men and the new-
party another embodyment of treason I
ana reoemon men nre naoie to loose
sight of first principles; indeed it is
the object of the new party to force
these first principles out of sight, and
compel their opponents to employ
themselves with refuting their policies
and arguments. They have assumed
a position without proving iis correct
ness, and by their blatant assertions
and zeal, try to draw us off from the
main issue, k his position as set lot th
by Andrew Johnson and the late say-nothing-DooIittlf
Convention, is thit
traitors, as soon as ihey are compelled
by force of arms to submit to laws they
detest, and to obey a Gavernmeni they
have tried lo destroy, are entiiled to
all the rights and privileges they hud
previous io their rebellion, and may
again lake part, as a matter of right,
in ihe administration of the Govern
ment they have tried lo destroy, and
wnuld yet destroy if they had the
power.
Immediately after the c;l!ap-e of
the rebellion, the surrender of the
Southern armies, and submission of the;
rebels, Andrew Johnson aud all loyal
men recognized the fact that we had a
host of traitors in our land who had
been defeated in this diabolical attempt
to destroy the nation. They were" in
our power, and the law prescribed not
only total disfranchisement, but death
aNo as the punishment of their crime
Were we to enforce the law, or in
mercy pardon them ? was the question
that presented itself. The rebel' them
selves did not expect us to enforce the
law, they had confidence in the mercy
of the nation. b'it were prepared to
submit to any requirement that should
be made of them. The nation did not
dejire lo enforce the law, but fell thai
some requirement must be. made that
would ensure the good conduct of the
rebels in the future. The rebels ex
pected nothing less than disfranchise
ment for themselves, and entramhise-ui'-nt
of the negroes the only loyal
Southerners and were prepartu to
submit peacefully to such requirements
if confiscation ai.d death could only be
left out.
The question now most agitated is
upon what department of the govern
merudopaihe dufy of niakiog ihe rr
quiremer t devolve ? Evidently not on
the Judiciary. Evidently not in the
Executive, for the requirement, what
ever it may be, must be in the form
and of the nature of a law. Then it
must devolve upon the law making de
partment, which is Congress.
The President recognized this fact.
He issued a proclamation pardoning all
the rebels, except certainjcliisses, and
proceeded to ihe establishment of pro
visional governments in ihe rebellious
States, but regarded, and stated, that
his action was only provisional, and
would never have been taken if Con
gress had been in session at ihe lime
to attend to it. This action of ihe
President was regnrded ai the timo,
by himself as well as the America i;
people, as an exercise of authority that
did noi belong to hun, but as the nature
of the case seemed to demand it, end
he looked forward lo the meeting of
Congress for the enactment of laws
that would sanction what was done, it
was tolerated.
When Congress met it took into
consideration the condition of ihe South
the nature of their crime, and reiuire
ments of ihe President, and fouud thai
the requirements were not all thai lh?
nature of the case demanded, and ex
ercising ihe authority reposed in it by
la at, and the nature of the government
proceeded to make additional require
ments to cover the whole ground. Here
sprung the present contest. The Pres
ident denied his first principles, and
asserted that the authority he had ex
ercised lawfully belonged to him, de
nied his first assertions that the rebels
had lost iheir political privileges by
reason of the rebellion, assumed that
a whipped traitor had the same rights
in the Government that a lojal man
had, deemed that the right of legisla
Hon belonged to Congress, and vetoed
their additional requirements. The
legitimate effect of his policy would be
lo lake the right of legislation out o'
the hands of Congress, and repose it
in the hands of the Executive, and in
future any President might forbid Con
gress to legislate upon any subject he
pleased, aud dictate the law himself.
And a peculiar effect in the present in
r-tance would be to give ihe reoei
States fifteen additional representatives
in Congress, and throw Uie control of
Government into iheir hands, or in
other words il would be ihe destruction
of Ihe Uuited States Government, an.l
the legality of the principles of loyal
men, and ihe iii'ia'huent of ihe Con
lederacy, with headjuaners at Wash
ington, and rebels in power. Stuh
usurpation and such treason in any
country less civilized and tolerauf than
ours would cost his life, and brand his
name forever as il deserves to be, as a
traitor and assassin.
The question now before ihe Amer
ican people to d-?ciie, is whether they
shall uphold Congress in the exercise
of its righ-ful authority, or whether
they will uphold the President in his
usurpations. The .-ay nothmy-Doo
i iii'j-i-onveiiiion tries to conceal ins
i-sue by adopting a platform, in which
i early all the demancsof Congress are
embodied. But if they had adopted
the constitutional amendment, and the
civil rights bill as iheir platform, all
loyal, liberty loving men would oppose
their adoption on such a basis. Even
that would established the right of the
President to dictate laws, and we could
only expect Andrew Johnson or some
equally unscrupulous successor, le avail
himself of that right, and render Con
gress a nullity, and become himself a
supreme and irresponsible dictator.
The mo't apparent question now be
fore the people is: Do vou want trait
or? to control the Government the
United States to cease to exist, and the
Confederacy to take its place? If you
do, the Johnson parly is your place.
But behind this is another question.
Do you want ihe legislative department
t coase to exist in the new ly establish
ed Confederacy, or be made depend
ent upon the caprice of the Execu
tive for its subjects of legislation?
It you do not want these things, do
you want loyal men who sacrificed so
much blood and treasure to main
tain the Government, to still control
it. If you do. the Union party (so
cillod Radical) is your place. Do
you want the legislative department of
the Government to lemain intact, and
the executive to be confined to the exe
cution of the laws. If you do ihe
Union party is your place. Do you
want the principles of freedom as set
forth in the Declaration of Indepen
dence and incorporated in our Govern
ment, do you want the present liberty
of A mericans tocontinue and to descend
to your children? If you do, ihe Union
party is your plice.
We solicit for these ideas and ques
tiom a careful examination, relieving
that th1 people, once ihey fully under
sland the nature and object of the new
party, will rise in their might and hur
in eternal infamy, usurpeis, traitors and
their apologists.

From the New Yolk World-
Jolinsoii and (lie Republican
Iarfy
"The success of ihe Philadelphia
Convention, which has, in all respects.
answered the expectations and sati-lied
ihe wishes of President Johnson, sep
arates him effectually from the Repub
lican party, and arrays the whole in
fluence of the Executive branch of the
Government against its policy."
This is the kind of information which
it is important to have distinctly im
pressed upon the public mind. The
managers of the Philadelphia Conven
tion deceived a few sincere men by
denying that the movement was in the
in'.erest of the Democracy II only
requires that its real purpose should
be understood to induce those who have
thus been deceived not only to resume
their places in the Union ranks but to
render them ten-fold more zealous ihan
ever to give success to the Union party.
The World, however, errs m assert
ing that this Convention "separated"'
President Johnson "from the Republi
can party." That had been done be
fore ihe Convention met, and was in
fact, the cause of its meeting. But
for this "separation" we would never
have heard of the Convention.
The World is doubtless correct in its
remark lhal "the whole influence of
the Executive branch of ihe Govern
ment is to be arrayed against" ihe Re
publican party. But this fact brings
ro "terror to the souls" of true men
Thev mav retrret it. but it will not m-
rmiJate them. Not a few of those
who find an Executive whom they
fleeted "arrayed"' against his party,
have twice before had a similar expe
lience. 'lyler aud Fillmore did ihe
same thing, and ihe memory and names
of both are to-day "a stench in the
nostril" of the people. Even those
who used them despised them. The
same fate awaits Andrew Johcson.
For those who are false either to their
party or their country without cause,
make a record for themselves which
r;o good man covets. .Hbany Evening

New Orleans, La.,
Aug. 1st, 1SGG.
L. S. Grant, General. Washington.
D. C:
You are doubtless aware of the se
rious riot which occurred in this citv on
the 30. h ult. A political bodv styling
itself the Convention of 1SG4, met on
the 30th, for as it alleged, the purpose
rem"delling the present Constitution of
the State. The leaders were political
agitators and revolutionary men, and
the action of the Convention was liable
to produce a breach of the peace.
1 had made up my mind to arrest ihfi
head men if the hroceedinfrs of the
. o
Convention were calculated to disturb
the tranquility of the Department ;
but I had no cause for action until they
had committed an overt act.
In the meantime my official duties
called me to Texas, and the Mayor of
the city during my absence, suppressed
ihe Convention by the use of the police
forre, and in so doing attacked a num
ber of the members of the Convention
and a party of about 200 negroes, with
fire arms, clubs and knives, in a man
ner so a atrocious and unnecessary, as
to compel me to say that it was murder.
About 40 whiles and blacks were
thus killed, and 100 hundred wounded.
Everything is now quiet, but I deem
best to maintain military supremacy
until ihe affair is fully investigated.
I believe the general sentiment is of
great regret at the unnecessary cruelty
and that the police could have made
any arrest they had seen fi', w ithout
sacrificing any lives.

Major Generaf.
New Orleans, Aug. 2.
To Gen. U. S. Grant:
The more information I obtain of
the affair of the 30th in this city, the
more revolting it becomes. It was no
riot. It was an absolute massacre by
ihe police, which was not excelled ia
murderous cruelty by that of Fort Pil
low. It was a murder which'lhe May
or and police perpetrated without a
shadow of necessity; and furthermore
I believe it was premeditated, and ev
ery indication points to ihis. I recom
mend the removal of this bad men. I
belive it would be hailed with the sin-
cerest gratification by two-thirds of the
people of this city. There has been
a feeling of insecurity on the part of
ihe people here on account of this man
which is now so much increased ihat
safety of life and property does not
rest with civil authority but the military.
