A convention is called by the coalition for the first day of August, to meet in Richmond. A moeting was heid in the African church last evening, at which the members of the Northern delegation of peacemakers addressed a large audience of a mixed complexion. Alex. W. Bradford, late a member of the New York Stato Senate, recently came into possession of an ‘ancient communion tankard belonging to the vestry of St. Michael's chareh of Charleston, 8. C., which dw appeared with the rest of the service about the time Geuerai Sherman marched through Columbia, The tankard was immediately returned to the vestry by Mr. Bradford, with a check for a certain amount for the use of the poor. The tankard was inscribed with the roysi arms of Great Britain, and bore the date 1762.

Extreme Journalism in the South. For many years preceding the war, and during its continuance, the extreme character of opinions expressei by the Southern papers fomented the bitterest feelings of that section against the North. The newspaper medium was perhaps the most fertile in propagating sentiments which, by skilfully misrepresenting both sections, led to hostilities between them. Unhappily there is very little disposition to abandon this mischievous influence noticeable in the present tone of these journals; nor are the fruits of such preachings difficult to dis- cover. The extremes of party discussion are now to be found in two classes of papers, each of which is battling for mastery in the South— the secession and the radical journals. To the irritating effects of their articles upon the pub- lic mind can be traced, in a great measure, the present condition of Tennessee, as illustrated by the petition of a portion of its citizens to the President, published in our columns yesterday, praying for the interposition of Tegular troops to protect them from the out- rages of “Brownlow’s militia.” To the same cause we may attribute in a great degree the conflicts between our military commanders in Louisiana and Alabama and the civil authorities of the leading cities of those States. We had reason to suppose that the controversy which was ended by the cannon and the bayonet was finally concluded as between the North and South; and so it was, in so far as the com- mon sense of tho fighting elements on both sides was concerned. But the party journals seom disposed to keep the wounds open to gratify their own very small desires; and hence we find new barriers to the reconstruction of the South raised from day to day, by appeals to the passions of the people, in the columns of newspapers which are not wholly contempti- ble only because they are conspicuous for mischief. We observe, however, that this evil is correcting itself. The press of the South is evidently fast losing hold upon popular opinion. The violence of its partisanship is becoming offensive to the sober second thought of the Southern mind which is now moulding itself to the new condition of things; and it argues well for the intelligent Southern people that they are ceasing to be guided by the pueriljties of the secession organs, which keep barking when they cannot bite, and hissing when they can no longer sting. Some of these journals are already learning a lesson and are changing their tone, while others, like the Richmond Times, are giving up the ghost. The spasmodic effort to establish a radical press in the South does not appear to be crowned with much success. In almost all the leading towns and cities of the Southern States radical newspapers have been started; but they have met with so littie support that they can hardly eke out an existence. The reason of this is apparent. There are not enough rad- icals in the Southern cities to support a party journal decently. This class of newspapers is therefore dependent for its existence upon alms from the radical party in the North, and that is so parsimoniously distributed that the radical newspapers fare very badly. Demands of an:exorbitant character have been made by sundry Southern editors and republican politicians upon the Congres- sional Republican Committee at Washington for means to maintain or start newspapers in the South. But the financial condition of the Committee, it appears, does not warrant the lavish expenditure, and we understand that they have been compelled to refuse the appli- cations. All their funds are employed in circulating documents throughout the South, and paying the expenses of propagandists of varied complexions to preach the doctriae of radical republicanism in the cities and on the planiations of the South. Hence we imagine that newspaper enterprise in that section, as elsewhere, will have to stand upon its own bottom. If radical journalism is popular there it will be sustained ; if not, it cannot be bol- stered up by contributions from any quarter. A press which is not in harmony with the honest and intelligent sentiment of the community among which it circulates, and is not based upon a sounder foundation than foreign aid, is no better than an excrescence. It has no vital- ity and can exercise no substantial influence. From these facts we argue that the effort to sustain a class of newspapers in the Sonth upon charitable principles is unhealthy, and will not amount to anything. At the same time it is desirable that the stupid, fire-eating, secession press, which is straggling for life in Richmond, Mobile, Montgomery and other cities, shouid be supplanted by a new class of newspaper liter- ature, as it inevitably will be before long, by the force of circumstances; for there is a whole- some public opinion in favor of reconstruction growing up in the South that will not be likely to tolerate the hostile spirit assumed by non- combatant journalists. The Nineteenth Street Tragedy. On Sunday last we called attention to the fact that suicide and murder often assume the characteristics of an epidemic. As a remedy which cannot be objected to even by those statistical fatalists who assert that in all large cities the general average of both these crimes is pretty nearly the same, we recommended re- doubled efforts to educate the rising generation to #0 high an estimate of the value of human life, and to such complete self-control that reason and will may be relied on to prevent each and all from yielding to the temptation to murder either themselves or anybody else. On the very next morning a fresh and startling iliustration of the fact which we had noted and of the urgent necessity of the remedy which we had recommended, was offered by the tragedy ata fashionable boarding house in Nineteenth street. A young man murdered his reputed wife and immediately committed suicide. Quite unaccountably the pistol shots were unheard or unnoticed, and it was not until several hours had elapsed that the two corpses were found lying side by side upon the bed. Papers have since been discovered which reveal no other mo- tives for the terrible double crime of young King than his despair occasioned by poverty as the result of riotous living, and his infatuation for the beautiful waiter girl whom he could no longer support, and whom, he says, he could not leave exposed “to live a life of shame.” The open Bible on a centre table in the bedroom and the first sentence of a letter found in King’s pocket, “God will forgive me for this deed,” only aggravate this signal case of the practical atheiam which is wofully prevalent and which is the latent cause of all similar outbreaks of crime. It is obvious that King, notwithstand- ing his early religious ‘training, had no trae sense of his relations to God aad to society, or NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 1%, 1867. —_ of the duties which grow out of those relations. He was literally “withéut God and without hope in the world.” His state of mind, bis manner of life, and the murder and suicide which ended his carcer, were thoroughly pagan. It is this fatal modern paganism in professedly Christian communities which accounts for events like the Nineteenth street tragedy. The united efforts of the school, the press and the pulpit are necessary to prevent the recurrence of such pagan outbursts as have recently shocked our community. The Philanthropists on the Rebellion—Justice ‘ te the Nerth, There is something massive and grand about the Peterboro philanthropist, Gerrit Smith. To everything he undertakes he is an earnest enthusiast, never pausing to calculate conse- quences, but pushing right through to the ex- treme end. Now that he has joined with Greeley in bailing the chicf rebel, Jeff Davis, and securing his escape from punishment, be justifies the act by declaring that the South cannot be charged with treason; that the North was as responsible as the South for the war; that the Reconstruction law is an unjust and oppressive act; that the Southern States should be allowed to come back to the Union without a condition, and that all the losses of unfortunate Southern men during the war should be made good to them out of the na- tional Treasury. Nay, more; he thinks that the North, being still rich while her sister is impoverished, should bestow twenty millions upon the South, and exonerate the Southern States from federal taxation for a few years. When Gerrit Smith backed old John Brown, some ten years ago, in his effort to create a negro insurrection in Virginia and make a St. Domingo of the South, he was equally enthusi- astic, and was only prevented by a serious illness from joining that “high-souled martyr” in his prison at Harper’s Ferry and offering to share his fate. But if Gerrit Smith and Greeley are thus considerate towards the South, why should they not display equal philanthropy towards the North? Every poor man in the Northern States is suffering from the effects of the rebel- lion, for which he was at most only equally responsible with the South. Taxatiom presses him down and takes bread out of the mouths and clothes off the backs of his children. Every necessary of life costs him more than thrice its price before the rebellion. If seces- sion was no crime, and there can never be any punishment for treason, then the war has been @ failure and a fraud upon the Northern people; and philanthropists like Smith and Greeley, if consistent, must insist upon wiping out all the war debt and taxation, repudiating all our national paper, returning at once to solvency, like a whitewashed bankrupt, and immediately resuming specie payments. Immigration and Its Results. The United States received during the month of May an addition to its population through the port of New York of 36,119 immigrants. It is calculated that each immigrant brings with him on an average an amount equal to fifty dollars in gold, besides his skill and capacity to labor. At this rate the immigrant statistics of last month would show an influx of nearly two millions of dollars—a pretty large contribution, even for California, in her best gold-bearing days. The fact that the destination of this vast number of strangers towards the interior was accurately ascertained, and that the majority of them were no doubt forwarded to various points outside of the city, shows that the ma- chinery of Castle Garden is working pretty well in this respect. It does not follow, how- ever, that there is not much room for improve- ment. The Commissioners of Immigration re- ceive a large sum in head money from the ship owners, or, more properly speaking, from the immigrants; for the per capita tax is, no doubt, added to the passage money, and they should extend the largest protection to that class. The maintenance of the institutions at Ward’s Islgnd is very well in its way, and the system there pursued undoubtedly saves the city a good deal by the support given to pauper immigrants, the sick and the poor chil- dren of parents who cannot obtain’ immediate employment; but there is still a wide margin left for care-taking in the dealings with rail- roads, and so forth. It may not be necessary to suggest this to the intelligent and fumane gentlemen who have the immigrant depot under their charge; but we throw out the hint, never- theless. We observe that the largest portion of the recent importation betook themselves to the Western States. For many years immigration has been tending that way ; but now that the South is thrown open to competition in free labor it would be desirable if immigrants could be directed to tho rich fields of that section. Their labor is much needed there. The oppor- tunities for improvement in agriculture are most tempting. Land can be had cheap all over Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas ; while the gold, copper and coal mines contain vast fortunes for skilled workmen. There is nothing, save capital, which the South so much requires at the present time as an infusion of @ new, vigorous populatian. Her resources will amply repay all who go there. One-half the number of tumigtinid arrived here last month, if poured into any one of the Southern States, would build up its fortanes in & twelvemonth. Among the various measures coming before the Constitutional Convention now in session at Albany the question of a permanent system for the assistance of immigrants might be worthy of notice. In view of the importance of this large influx of strangers, which is likely to increase rather than to diminish, it would be well to have the whole system thoroughly examined into, and, if found necessary, revised and remodelled. Whitewashing Treasury Bond Robbertes. On several occasions recently the Heratp has discovered and brought to light instances of the mysterious disappearance of govern- ment bonds and other national securities. But we notice that as soon as a publication of the facts is made it is followed by a whitewashing statement that “the Treasury cannot lose any- thing by the transaction.” We are at 9 loss to anderstand what this means. The last case is that of the purloining of ninety-nine sheets from « package of one thousand bonds of one thousand dollars each. We understand that this robbery created #0 much consternation among the employés in the department that it was kept a secret from the Secretary of the Treasury. But it could not cecape the vigilanes of the Heratp, and was made public in our columns. We are now officially told that the bonds were “incomplete” or “in an imperfect condition,” and “are not likely to prove 8 loss to the government or to the public.” If so it is singular that their loss occasioned such & terrible commotion. The people will begin to suspect that the whole department is in a bad condition, and fearful lest one disclosure of this kind should be the means of breaking up or breaking down the whole rotten concern. Clerical Indiscretion—The Wickeduess of Bious People. It will be a startling piece of news to the pious people of the world that a parson in North Adams, Massachusetts, has been guilty of “an indiscretion.” It was not such an indiscretion as that of the reverend gentleman who was accused some time ago of picking a pocket in an omnibus; nor yet such an indiscretion as that of the other reverend gentleman who got himself fined two hundred and fifty dollars for whip- ping his child to death. Neither was it of the character of the clerical indiscretion that has lately been in the couris, and wherein a clergy- man was required to correct certain financial accounts he had rendered. It was like none of these. There was no coarse brutality in this parson nor over eagerness for the world’s dross. He admired one of the sisters—no harm in that!—and he ran away with her. If we may judge by the way the parson’s con- gregation look at it, there was no harm in that either; for while the telegram, which yester- day gave the details, called it a case of seduc- tion and elopement, we are assured to-day from Troy that it was “only an indiscretion.” We must needs be glad to hear that the parson has been guilty of nothing worse. We know thatwe shall be acoused of sneering impiety for using such words of the chosen ones of the Church; but is it not a very funny thing that it should be impious in us to merely talk of these things when it is only “indiscreet” in others to do them? Advice to the Police Commissioners. We would advise the Metropolitan Police Commissioners to wash their hands of all the petty “pickings and stealings” pertaining to the city licensing; to stop the law proceedings in which they are indulging at the expense of the taxpayers, and to set to work in earnest to remodel their police force and increase iis efficiency. Several burglaries have recently been committed in this city of a nature to prove that the police are either incompetent or grossly neglectful of their duties. It is urged as an excuse for the non-detection of the burglars that they are experienced English thieves, and too smart for our officers. If that be the case had not the Commissioners better import some English policemen to catch them? Above all, had they not better engage the ser- vices of an English Superintendent, who could not be more autocratic, but might be much more capable and efficient than the present occupant of that office? At all events, these frequent successful burglaries and bold rob- beries should convince the Police Commis- sioners that they will have quite enough on their bands if they will attend to the legit- mate business of the police, without straining after powers that do not belong to them, or wasting their time and the people’s money in prosecuting lawsuits which are of no benefit to the city. FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Little “All Right” Falls Almost from the Dome to the Pit of the House. The Acatemy of Music was crowded to overflowing last evening with a brilliant audience, a great portion of which was composed of ladies, The first part of the regular performance passed off amid enthusiasm, and about ten o'clock the gamboling pranks of little “All Right’ on the tubs, the ladder and the trapaze had been witnessed with awe and wonderment by the congregated hundreds. The closing scene of the night's entertainment was as usual begun by the rapid flight of the little favorite up the pullied rope tothe dome of the proscenium, where for a mo- ment he hung by one hand to the apparently frail cord support above his head, and then with whizzing noise, the pulley atiached to the strap from which the young- ster dangled, started on its fearful journey down the tightened rope that is stretched for the purpose from the dome to the middie bor of the dress- circle, As the first creak of the miniature wheel was beard, a death-like stillness provailed throughou: vast auditorium. A second croak, and, with the speed of lightning the body of the young performer shot down the rope and reached the middie of the downward course, when, to the horror of ‘he thousands who were gazing upon the awful movement, one of the cords at- tached to the dress circle fixings to brace the main rope gave way. ‘er, relaxing its rigidity by the sudden outlet, fol feet downward, and then shot upward with a twang, like the snap; of an arrow string, and the little performer was flung ym his hold bigh into air, aud in an instant was dasbed full fitty feet to the floor in the ‘middle aisic below. It would be useless to attempt to picture the scene engued, The screechos ot the terrified women rang fearfully Dg through the halls, while the men, with cheexs to the whitencss of a gat as if frozen to their seats with terror. Several of tho ladies fell swooning in their boxes and were carried out into the ante-rooms. In asecond, when parily relieved from ite the audience jumped to their feet and « rush was bo- wards where the body of “All Right’ lay as if dead.

Ricamoyp, Va, June 12, 1867. The republican caucus of forty members, which mot last evening at Governor Pierpont's residence, adjourned at about two o'clock this morning, after appointing committee of five from each of the two divisions of the Botts and Hunnicut parties to meet again at cleven this forenoon, in the Ballard House, and concert measures for a fusion of both wings. | The discussion of the plat- forms represented by the above names was long and Judge Underwood, in a speech, gave statistics showing the strength of the radical element in the State to be sufficient to insure victory over all opposing elements, and disclaiming the notion that any division existed ta ‘the republican part; Mr, read nls cirer the fact thas the , and gave his reasons for boing this State were obscure the radical party in men, of no reputation outside their own localities, and that education and brains were necessary in the conduct of ee, ky Dae ht the leaders men of only ordi- mary cal an call for a convention of whites with a sprinkling of blacks thrown in, erwise argued in support of bis Mr. Hawxhurst, of Alexandria, showed that Mr. Botts was the father of the radical party in Virginla, and when a committee which he appointed issued a call for @ convention he (Mr. Botts) declined to act with them, Mr, Hunpiout thought br.

Governor Pierpont fel anxious to bring the republt- can party into harmony with those who look upon it as odious, Mr. Brockley, colored, passed a bricf but very telling 0 course of Mr. Botts. He showed tho faliacy of gentieman’s statement that the radical party in this state is but a fraction, and that it was poli- ter party. It was generally conceded that Breckiley silenced The session adjourned witnout reaching an under- standing. At eleven o'clock the two committees met, and after @ digcussion of over four hours an understanding was reached and harmonious action decided upon. The Botts party consented to give up their projected convention at Charlottesville, and coalesce in all essen- tials with the great radical republican party. Finally the following call fora convention, to meetat Richmond on the Ist day of August, was agreed upon, signed by tho Executive Committee of the Union udlican party, to which call the namesof thesigners of the Bous call are attached, To tax Uscoxprrioxat Usion Men oF Virainta:— The Republican Executive Siate Committee, and the undersigned citizens of the State of Virginia, who bere avow ourselves unconditional Union mon and members of thegreat republican party of the United States, call upon ali others of like condition as common sufferers, not (o throw away this golden opportunity to rescue our- selves, our children and our State from the hands of those who have brought nothing but war, desolation, want and wretchedness upon our land, to meet in coun- cil at Richmond as more convonient than Charlottesville, on the Ist day of August next, at 12 o’clock M., at the African church, for the purpose of extending and per- fecting the organization of the republican party, com- menced by the Convention assembled at Richmond on the 17th of Apml iast. The call is signed by the Repub- hhean State Committes, Governor Pierpont, Hon. J. M. Botts, Lewis McKenzie, of Alexandria, aud three hun- dred others. The radicals are jubilant over this event, and san- guine that they can now carry the entire State. Outside Entertainment at the Atrican Church— The Views of the Northern Delegation Vindi- ented—Speeches of Senator Wilson, John Jay and Others—The Ultimatum of the North av Propounded by n Hot-Headed Radical. Ricumoxp, Va., June 12—Evening. This evening, at eight o’clock, the African church was filled with an audience about one-third white and two- thirds vlack, to hear addrosses from the Northern dele- gation of the radical party, consisting of J. B. Van Buren, G. F. Noyes, G. H. Booker and C. Gibbons, of Philadelphia; Senator Wilson, F. W. Bird, 8. B. Cool- Idge, C. W. Stack, C. W. Story, R M. Morso, Jr., and George W. Bond, of Massachusetts, and John Jay and J. G. Holbrook, of New York. Among the audience were Charies H. Lewis, Judge Underwood and Major White. The chair was occupied by Governor Pierpont. The Governor said it was an imprompta meeting, notice of which had only been tssued.a few hours be- fore. A number of distinguished men had come among them, and the meeting was called to hear some words of fecling from them. Mr. John Jay, of New York, congratulated them on the complete seitiement of the questions that divided the republican party in this State for some time past. , bowever, they stood compact and prepared for victory. He and the other gentlemen of the tion would not have come down to ey if they did not think the questions at issue which had been eo hap- pily settled affected the whole republican y. tt there were any gentlemen in the audience tating about joining that party he would ask them to remem- ber that it was the democrats who had lured the South into the rebellion and proved false to every instinct of true freedom. Ademocratic member of Congress exclaimed exult- ingiy at Washington, before the breaking out of the lion, that the North would send an army of demo- crats to assist them in an insurrectionary struggle, thus inciting, as all other democrats labored to do, the South vo rebellion He would ask them to remember that no such stain of treac! Tosts apon the republican party of the country. Having exhorted them to stand by the radical pariy, and thus improve the of their State and country, the gentleman concluded. Mr, Charies Storey, Boston, said he thought # po- litical miennium was near at hand, especially when he saw the first peopie of Virginia cordially uniting with those who were their former siaves to promote princi- ples of freedom and & government” upon equal rights forall men. The motto of every repub- ald say, should be, “Eacn one for for each,” contributing their indi- vidual labors for the common and national good. Though a thorough Yankee from New England, he claimed John Marsbali, of Virginia, as much his coun- tryman as any native of the Communwealth, and rejoiced 10 the glory of Virginia as much as in the glory of his own Colonel Noyes, of New York, said in the wildest dreams of his boyhood he never thought of standing tn Richmond and of looking down on an audience of white men, Twice in five years he had started for Richmond behind flashing bayonets and with all the ter- ribie panoply of war, but now, thank God, be came on a pathy and peace, As one of the Northern them what was expected of the South.
