We do net hesitate to recom- mend these bonds as being a first-class security and a most safe and judicious investment. The proceeds of these bonds will be used in ex- tending s Boad (already completed 170 miles, into North Missouri) to the lowa State Line, where it is to connect with the railroads of Iowa; and to also extend to westward to the junction with the Pactfic B. B.(a.

Despite the misrepresentations of the Phila- delpbia Press and New York Tribune, there exists greater consternation in the Radical ranks at this moment than ever before. These journals profess to see nothing in the presence in Philadelphia of the Southern delegations to the recent National Union Convention, but an assemblage of cut-throat traitors. Their hope is to duce the Northern masses to look upon them in that light only, and to cherish against those they represent all the animosifies inci- dent to the state of war which no longer ex- ists. We doubt whether more patriotic men ever attended a political convention in this country than the great mass of these same Southern delegates. Nine-tenths of them were original: active, and earnest opponents of secession’ They succombed to it only after all possibility of making headway against it had vanished, and only under the influence ef the false doc- trine which taught that a citizen’s allegiance was due first to his State. As erroneous and dangerous as this doctrine was, it pre- vailed everywhere throughout the South. The war was necessary to weed it ont. It has been most effectually weed- ed out of the minds of all men at the South by the war. He must be mentally blind, indeed, who does not realize the fact, so plain bas it been made by the conduct of these Southern delegates in that Convention. Nor can any reasoning Man now doubt that the whole South accepts the obliteration of Amer- ican slavery, and stands as united against any idea of its possible re-establishment, as even the people of Massachase'ts. It is further ap. parent that the South, as represented in the Convention, 1s at this moment far more deeply attached to the Union than ever before; its only hope of recuperating from the effects of its terrible punishment by the war, resting in the speedy restoration its plain rights as guar- anteed by the Constitution of the United States The very fact that these delegates and those they represent exhibited a devotion and pertinacity in favor of their wrong cause when enemies in war, almost unexampled in the history of nations, affords evidence that they may be trusted to any point to sns- tain the right cause, upon which all their hope of relief hinges—the cause of the Constitution as now assailed by those who for twenty years have steadily proclaimed it nothing more than “a covenant with death— a league with hell.” Weil, indeed, may the Tribune, Press, and Baltimore American tremble at the action of that Convention. That action takes the old Democratic party organization out of the fore- ground as the opponent of the mad reyolu- tionary schemes of the Radicals, and substi- tutes in its stead an organization composed or the entire Democratic party of the country and the large and patriotic portion of the Re! publican party who are not willing to make the entirely suppressed rebellion a pretext for the destruction of every distinctive feature og American rights and liberties as guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States, which in few words, isthe end and aim of the Radi. cal organization in seeking to govern the whole country through the deprivation of ten States of their right of representation in Con. gres This convention insures this union of all the opponents of the radical policy, and embraces assurance of its defeat in the certainty of that union. The radical leaders realize that the first con- sequence of the action of the National Union Convention, will be a thorough reorganization of the opposition to radicalism in Pennsyl- vania, which will secure against it in October next the votes of trom forty to fifty thousand men who have never voted the Democratic ticket, yet stand ready to vote with the Demo_ crats for a gubernatorial candidate nominated purely and simply on the platform of prin- ciples laid down by the National Union Con. vention They realize that this accession of votes in that State insures its rescue from their con- trol, and also that of New York and Indiana, by so large majorities, this fall, as that there will no longer be question of the fact that the public opinion of the country is overwhelm. ingly against their policy. The establishment of this truth, as explained above, will release from the rough and yet tight grasp of Messrs. Stevens and Sumner, at least fifty members of the House and Senate: who, as yet, side with them through little else than fear of their fancied power with the people. QUBEN EMMA. To-day the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, and Pawnee delegations of Indians assembled. at the office of Indian Affairs, to write their signatures in a book kept by Queen Emma, to receive the autographs of all those who visit her. Those Indians who could write signed their names, and those who could not, made their “totums.”” The (uueen is to visit the family of Secretary Seward this evening, and will probably be the guest of the Secretary until her departure from the city. PARDONS TO-Day.

He succeeded in overtaking the men in New York, and went to the i6th police station, and applied for assistance to make the arrest. The officer there told him that his men were out of “heir precinct, (only two squares distant,) and they could give no aid, but referred him to the 29th precinct sta- tion. He went to that station and exhibited his warrants to the sergeant in charge, and applied for assistance, and was again refused. They interrogated him as to his authority to act, and he exhibited all that is necessary in cities where the police know a United States warrant when they see it, and acknowledge its sufficiency for the purposes for which it is given, but these New Yor! lice retused as- sistance on the ground that the warrants were net United States warrants, or at least they could noteee it. McDevitt left the station and met an officer on the street, and asked to be di- rected to an Alderman’s office. He replied that he was not permitted to give information in the street, and referred McD. to some of the courts. Finding that be could obtain no aid from the New York police, McDevitt started on his own hook, and again hunted up the men he wished to arrest. When he found them they knew he wanted them, and im- mediately peid over the money to him, making it unpeceseary for him to serve the war- rants, Having succeeded in recovering the money McDevitt started for home. On arriving in Baltimore he stepped off the train at the Philadelphia depot. and heard one officer inquire of another if he knew detective McDevitt. of Washington, and remarked that he had a warrant for McD , and did not know him. McD. went to him. and asked him if he had a warrant for McDevitt. The officer re- plied that he had. McD. told him not to look any further, as he was the man, and called a back, the officer having said that he wanted him to go to Mar-bal Carmichael’s office. Upon arriving at the office, they found the door locked and nobody in charee. “ After wait- ing about fifteen minutes, Marshal Carmichael came, and almost imultaneously county con- stables Geo. F. Hotchkiss and E. Reynolds, of Washington.and Justice Whiteley, of Balti- more, arrived there. McD. was presented be- tore Justice Whiteley, and charged, on the oath of Samuel Dorman, with exterting $100 from Dorman, and with threats. The $100 re- ferred to is the $100 Dorman surrendered asa art of the money he received in the Hotch- as affair. This $100 was not obtained from Dorman by McD., but was turned over to Jus. tice Whiteley by Dorman, who turned it over to McD., taking his receipt for it, and McD, as was bis duty, delivered it to the property clerk in Washington. Detective W.P. Smith, ot the well-known independent detective firm of Smith, Pierson & West, of Baltimore, heard of the arrest of detective McDevitt, and went te the office and gave bail in $500 for his appearance in Balti- more on the 2ist instant, at3o’clock p.m. De- tective McDevitt was assured by his friends there that they would secure the best counsel in Baltimore, if needed. without cost to him. He arrived in Washington this morning. —— ee OPENING OF Brips.—At noon nef Colonel B. B.
