The City | Hall meeting adjourned without electing del- | egates, but appointed a committee to wait on | the National Union Executive Committee to | induee them to issue a general call for a meet- | ing in order toelect delegates. The German | Hall meeting elected delegates and alternates. | As there seems to be a universal desire on | the part of Conservative Republicans and | Democrats throughout the District, those at least who place the good of the country above ascendancy of party, and who are not after the | loaves and fishes, for harmonious action in re- | lation to the appreaching Convention, we pre- sume the National Union Executive Commit- tee will calla meeting of all the friends of the Restoration policy of President Johnson. in the District of Columbia, at whicn meeting delegates to the ssid Couvention will be elected.

No true patriot will hesitate at this time to throw aside party feeling and prejudice. as the safety of our country and the permanence of our institutions Gepends on the success of the national move- ment now being inaugurated in opposition to eectionalism. j &7 We bave received from Shillington,Udeon | Building, a very useful card issued by Peter- son & Bros. for offices and counting-houses, showing at & glance thé stamp duties imposed by tbe new Revenue law, which goes into effect to-day.

That course had for its aim the entire subversion of the rights of the States and the centralization of all power of the Gov- ernment in the National Legislature. To effect these ends and the purposes for which they were undertaken, Congress bas treated the Southern States and people simply as con- quered provinces and subjects, and many favoring the policy of Congress everywhere have in their speeches and public acts followed that example. This is especially true through- out the South, where thousands ef Northern men and women, living on the corruptions growing out of the current fruits o/ the war in that quarter, have been doing their best to educate the negroes up to the pointof as thorough disloyalty to the principles of the constitution and laws of the United States as Was ever manifested by the rebels in the course of tbe war. In Louisiana this has especially been the case. The radseal State Convention of that State was nothing more than a reyolu- tionary body, composed of Northern specala- tors on philanthrophy and in thieving, right and left, of negroes who were tools in their bands, and of afew Louisiana people Profess. ing intense unionism for ‘the chances of political preferment it gave them as the furious boiling of the pot throws to the sur. tace thé portion of its contents that could ney- er otherwise find its way there. The entire | action of this Convention bas been as reyoln- tionary 4s that of Any similar body of rebels assembled during the way; while its language— indulged in by blacks and Whites—nas been quite as incendiary, Its spirit has been the avowed purpose of sweeping away by vio- jence all constitution and law standing in the way of the enslavement of the white people of the South tothe Northern element among them referred to above, and the division of all property there between those disinterested in- dividuals and the negroes of the State, whom they propose to enfranchise by revolutionary means. There isno reason why the course of these reyolutionists shall be regarded with more favor or leniency than was that of the rebels during the war. We condemn itas em- phatically as we condemned that, avd are sure that all reflecting people agree with us on that point—all The improvement of the negro and the gradual adoption of the principie of intel- ligent suffrage, and suffragelased on sub- stantial interest- in the well-being of soci- ety, without regard to race, is as certain to follow the end of slavery in this conn. try, as that was in following the gigantic efforts to destroy the Union. As the lateer was the only means of surely preserving the Union against the rebellion, so the former will prove the only means of preserving it against future efforts to convert it into the despotic imperial- ism to which the desperate radicalism of the times is so rapidly gravitating. How com- pletely Congress is responsible for the new dangere surrounding us, is aptly illustrated by the manner in which the negroes of Louisiana and the northern philan hropists and thieving speculators composing the mass of this cun- vention have been imitating all the violence of the most radical portion of Congress, in their language and propositions. As Congress pro- claimed the war not over, so this convention does the same thing. As Congress declares hat the existing governments of the Southern States are illegal and should be put down by violence, so does this Louisiana convention. The result—there—is, naturally, the collision of races which the course of Congress has nvited, and which can hardly tail to occur elsewhere throughout the South, unless the fact ot the end of the war be accepted every- where, as President Johnson so earnestly ad- vises. Massachusetts can no more peaceably govern Louisiana in her local affairs than South Carolina can so govern Ohio or IMinois. Nor is she more justifiable in attempting so to do, than South Carolina would be im under- taking to regulate the domestic and local mat- ters of the Northwest, precisely as New England is engaged at this moment in doing throughout the South, under the patronage and with the active though illegal assistance of Congress. There would be worse riots in Itlinois and Obio to-morrow, were South Car- olina to essay that game there, than have just oceurred in Louisiana. Nevertheless, we by no means despair of the signs of the times. The Philadelphia Conven- tion, unless it becomes simply a machine to reinstate in power those at the North who were traitors at heart during the war, and those atthe South who engineered the rebel. lion and who are yet persistent traitors at heart, will prove the loyalty of the mass of the Southern people. That is all thatis wanted to strip the radicals of power throughout the North; the efforts of the radical leaders to sell out the whole country to the manufacturing capitalists having already worked a powerful reaction against them. Thus the question to be solved by the Phila- delpbia Convention 1s a simple one, It wil) either drive all conservative Union men to unite with any party opposed to delivering over the Government into the hands of its no- torious and actiye enemies during the war, or it will induce hundreds of thousands of honest and patriotic men at the North, whe up to this time have suffered themselves with more of less reluctance to be led by Messrs. Sumner’ Phillips, Stevens & Co., to abandon all politi- cal affiliation with them and earnestly aid in the consummation of the President's policy of Reconstruction, as the only and best possible method of restoring the Union in fact as well as in name. e MILITARY ORDBE IN THE CABOLINAS. General Sickles, commanding ‘the Depart. ment of the Carolinas, republishes in General Orders the order of General Grant, to arrest and bring to trial all persons who have been or may hereafter be guilty of offences against offi: mts, citizens, &c., of the United States, and directs that all arrests made ip that Department in obedsence to the order be re- rted to Department Headquarters by State Commanders, on the Ist and 15th of each month, with the charge alleged and the action taken im each case. A large number of persons congregated at the White House to-day, awaiting an opportu- nity to speak to the President. About elev: o’clock the door was opened for a general re- ception, and all present obtained interview, with the President, among them George F. Train.

The Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen’s affairs m the State of Louisiana in his report tothe Commissioner of the Bureau, on the subject of education in that State, says the ireed people are much likeevery other class, desirous to have their children educated bai preferring that some one besides themselves should pay forit. A system of free schools such as exists in the Northern States, in which taxes are levied for school purposes, would do mach for the rising generation, both white and black. but such a system can searcely be hoped | for in this State until a radical change is ef- | fected m the views of that class who make the | laws, or until a change in the fundamental | laws of the State is brought abort. luntary system of maintaining school, now in | Operation under the auspices of the Bureau, | will doubtless be attended with good re-ults , but must fall very far short of attaining a re- { snlt so desirable as the dissemination of edu- | cation amongst the colored People of the entire State In reference to the working of the Civil Right- bill, the General says, the law is bay- ing & good effect in restraining those who are disposed to set State laws at defiance or treat them with contempt. Several cases have been referred to the Hon. R H. Shannon, United States Commissioner for bis action. and the parties have been arrested and held to bail to appear at the next term of the U.S. District Court for a violation of the law of Congress in refusing to do justice under the civil law of the State. Some of these are cases in which freedmen are concerned: others. cases in which loval citizens from the North have been made the victims of persechtion through the opera- Uons of State laws, the proceedings of the State courts have been arrested and the judges held to bail.
