J. ancocl. m m m The iS'un has the following report of a carious and important conversation: A well-known gentleman of this city wvas conversing with Gen. F. P. Ulair, ji.. not long since, upon the power of t-oi.gre-s to reconstruct the South. Lien Blair warmly maintained that the Re construction laws were unconstitutional, and that there was no authority in the National Government to endow negroes with the elective franchise in the con quered Sta'.es. 'You are mistaken " said Ins triend : "the Supreme Court has fully decided the question in favor of the p iwer exercised by Congress. IIovv so ?' asked the General. "I never heard of any such deci-ion." "I will give you the poicts," was the answer. "I. The Supreme Court has decided ihat the .National Government has the same rights and powers as regards the States lately in Rebellion, as it would have toward States or Territories con quered in war with a foreign power. "II. The Supreme Court decided years ago that in New Mexico, which we had just then conquered in the war wr.h Mexico, the orders cf Gen Kear ney, the Military Governor of that Ter ritory, had all the force of law and most be obeyed as such. "III. .Among these orders of Gen. Kearney, in New Mexico, was a code of laws which he promulgated some time about 1S47, by which the right of suffrage was conferred upon all males of lawful age, without distinction of color negroes included "IV. This code, which was thus im posed on New Mexico by the military power the Supreme Court decided to be the righiful law of the Territory, until it should be set aside by express act of Congress. "V. The apparent author of this ne gro suffrage code was Francis P. lihur jr.. whose name was attached to it as Attorney General of the Territory " "That's true, "responded Gen. lilair, but I didn't suppose any d d black Republican knew it." A writer in a late magazine tells a stoi y which he had from the late Major Noah, to the effect that when James Gordon Bennett first applied for work at the office of the old Courier and En quirer. he was in such distress that the kind hearted Nab first gave him a quarter ot a dollar to get a dinner with before beginning to talk about his fu ture occupation. After Mr. Bennett had satisfied his hunger, he made a bargain with Major Noah, and went to work. His duties included sweeping out the office iu the morning, in addi lion to nis more literary avocation. There are few men in history who. from such small beginnings, have ri-er to such wealth and power as Mr Ben nett If a man is givn to liquor, let not liqasr be given to him. LEU tK I'llOM UEXEItALDIX Genera' Dix, American Minister to France, has sent the following letter tj a triend in New xork. The letter was not intended for pub lication, but the gentleman to whom it was addressed, has consented to give it the pu jlic. Paris, Sept. 4. Mr Dear Sir ; It was my hope that my absence from home would have saved me from all participation in political excitement there, but I nonce in one of the news papers that I am heart and band with Mr. Seymour I am not aware of any thing in the present or past, which could rightfully subject me to such an imputation I have been acquainted with Mr Sey mour for more than half a century. He is an amiable gentleman of unexcep tionable private charaiter.and res-?pta-ble talents, but you know as well as I do, bat he has r.ot a single qualification for the succebsful administration of the high official trust to which he is noun naied, and he is especially deficient in the fitmne.-s of purpose which in cnti cal e i ergei.cies is the only sateguard against public disorder and calamity. He has been twice at different times Governor of New York and he has in neither case had talent or tact, to keep the Democratic party of the State to gether more than two years I should regard his election at this juncture, when steadiness of purpose, decision and self control are so much needed, as one of the greate-l calamities that could befall the country Moreover, he ha; been put in nomination by a convention, which has openly declared the purpose of these it rei-resents. to pa the great er part of the public debt oq racted to preserve the union, in depreciated pa per. Such a measure would, in my judgment, be a palpabie violation ot public faith pledgeu under circum stances, which should have beed bind ing on all honorable men. Seymour has made public speeches to show it is our duty to pay the debt in specie In accepting thisnomi .ation t j the Presidency he adopts the declara tion mat it ought to be paid in paper. I know nothing so humiliating in the history of American po'ttics as this ter giversation It was. perhaps not thought that Mr. Seymour after the presiding in lbOl. over the Chicago convention, which declared the war a failure, shou 'd preside over the convention cf lSGH.m .vhich a proposition to discredit the debt contracted to carry on the war, was re ceived w nh tremenduous cheering and that he should be the chosen instrument to execute this act of National turpitude 1 do not believe that the wishes or opinions of the great body of the Dem otrauc party are fairly represented in these proceedings. They have nothing in common with the Statesman like views of policy and he hiph sense of national honor, which guided the party when Martin Van Buren, Win. L. Yancy, Sylas Wright, Lewis Cass and Stephen A. Douglass were among its most conspicuous mem bers. I see but one source of safety for the country, under existing circumstances, and that is the election of Gen. Grant on his decision of character.good sense, moderation and disinterested patriot ism. I believe the South will have a far better hope of regaining the position in the Union to which it is entitled than under a man, whose political career has been in nothing more conspicuously marked than in all utter infirmity of purpose. Independently of all these considerations 1 should be greatly sur prised if the people of the U. S. were to elect to their chief magistracy a man, who wa making at the Academy of Music on the 4ih day of July, 1S63, a speech deficient in all the characteris tics of an elevated love of country, at the very hour when Gen. Grant was carrying the victorious amies of the Union into Vicksburg, and when thous ands of our fallen countrymen were pouring out their blood on the plains of Gettysburg in defence of their homes and the government, which, Mr. Sey mour was doing nil in his power to em barrass, and di-credit. I am quite willing you should shew this letter to any friends who may rake in interest in my opinion in regard to the coming election, and I am particu larly desirous to remove the impression if it exists, that I am in favor of Mr Seymour or tlie repudiation of any por tton of the public debt I am sir. very truly yours. Jto A. Dix. THE SOUTIIKIIX VOTE The opposition "gives signs of woe, that all is lust." The Montgomery (Ala ) Advertiser says : "It is better that the Democracy of the North should realize the truth as to the Southern Presidential vote, in order that they may proceed at once to reflect upon the facts and resolve upon such action as may be suitable to the case. It may be relied upon as a fact that in the sev en so called reconstructed States. Grant Electors will be chosen without any exception whatever.'" Politics makes strange bedfellows. W notice that Gen S. F. Carey and C L. Vallandighara are advertised to speak from the same platform at a Uopperhsaa pow.wow in Ohio For the Herald. To Ralioual, Considerate Dem ocrats. Sept. 15th, 186S. The Democratic party advocated and maintained the institution of slavery as long as it could be successfully defend ed with ballo.s or bullets. Since the overthrow or abolition of slavery the leaders of the demoemtic party have done all they could to re establish it, by contending for State rights and rebel sutirage, and by oi posing negro suf frage and all the reconstruction acts of Congress. Do not be deceived. Their object is evidently to re-establish slav ery or serfdom in some form. They know that if the rebels vote and the negroes do not, that loyal men will be in such a hopeless minority as to enable the rebels to make laws to their own liking, and to oppress, murder and ex pel union men from the South. With this power, and State rights, they can establish slavery or inaugurate inter nal war, either of which would suit them better than the re-establishment of political and civil liberty, which they tried to overthrow and by so doing have forfeited their reputation and dis graced themselves forever uuless they can re-establish slavery. Are you will ing lo follow men whose welfare and honor depends on the ruin of their coun try ? They have lost all tbey had to lose if you have anything to lose, do not follow them. They are desperate men. They would destroy all law.and all national and State governments for the sake of elevating themselves above the slimy vortex of infamy into which their treason and murder has plunged them. See what they say in their plat form : "We regard the reconstruction acts of Congress as usurpations, and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void.' This, of itself, is nullification, or a threat by the Democratic party to usurp the authority of nullifying the State governments of the south whenever they may come into power. Can this be done w ithout war ? Do you want it done ? If you do you are a modern democrat. That convention said to the Arkansas rebels: if you kill Union men or i egroes, or steal horses from Nebraska, there is no constitution al law in Arkansas to punish you Negro slavery was the primary ob ject of the Democratic parly before the war. It was for the extension and per petuation of Negro Slavery that they tried to overthrow this government ; and it is now for the restoration of Ne gro Slavery that they demand a "white man's government," or the right lo dis franchise negroes, so that they may aga;n enslave them. Still they endeav or to scare people by talking about Republican negro equality. What is Democratic negro equality? lama Southern man. and have felt the effects of Democratic Xegro equality. They com polled us seven million of non-slave-holding white laborers to be equal with negro slaves by forcing us into a laboring equality with them. They made our happines? or misery to depend on the price of negroes. For if staves were cheap, slave labor was cheap ; if slave labor was cheap, a poor white mans labor was cheap also. And if slaves were so plentiful that their mas ters could get but 25 cents per day for their labor, we had to work for the same or starve. Mr. Democrat, this is what I call Democratic negro equal ity. I did not like it ! D you ? So I left the old negro-equalizing party. Had not you belter leave it, too ? It was for the extension of this ngro equalization that Douglass contended when he said there was no use in leg islating against slavery, for where slavery would pay there slavery would go. Wrhich meant that whenever a free while man got more for his labor in a free State lhan a slaveholder could get for the labor of his negro in a slave State, that slavery would go into the free State, so as to equalize the white mans labor with the negroes. Demo cratic negro equality sinks all laboring white men to an equality with negro slave?. Republican negro equality does nothing more than place the negro in position where he can help to defend his liberties and the liberties of labor ing white men. Are you willing to trust the welfare of your country and the hanpiness of your children to the car of such a party, controled by such bad men? SOUTH BEND. THE DEFEAT IV MAINE. The State election in Maine has been held, 'he smoke has lifted the Repub licans have over twenty thousand ma jority. e are deteated mere, ana a. not like it.

Shotio Seymour and Blair be elected thev will have to choose a part of their Cabinet from the South, and of course thy wo-ild give Cabinet positions to some sueb staunch Dem crats as Gen. Lee.

THE VOTE OF OHIO. Wre desire our friends in other States to understand that Ohio Grant's na tive State is not, and has net been at any time since the Chicago nominations were made, at all doubtful. Nor is it true, as has been asserted, that the Re publicans of Ohio are apathetic. They are at work in earnest, and never with better hopes than to day. We bava felt sure, from the outset, of at least 25,000 majority for Grant in this State. The present indications are that it will exceed 40,000. On the other side, the nomination of Seymour and Blair had n dishearten ing effect which has not been recover ed from. The Democrats are without zeal or enthusiasm. Whatever may be said by such men as Vallandigharn who expected to be Governor in 1863 until he woke un one mnrmnir in M October, and found himself beaten by 100,000 majority no sagacious Dem ocrat dreams ef carrvinr?

Therefore, tho Post; wants the ship builders to vote the Sermnes ticket, and show their disapproval of tho conduct of those who stopped Sernmes' operations The Cret of a series of "national games" was played in Vermont on Tues day, between the ' first Dines" of the Grant and Colfax and Seymour and Blair clubs.
