Naw ORLEANS, Sept. 11, 1874. Six more cases of muskets, ex steamship Vity of Dallas from New York, were seized by the police | on the levee to-day. Two hundred and eighty- eight stands of arms, mostly of foreign make, have been seized upto date on the plea of their being intended to arm the White League clubs in this city.

Troops are in process of distribation to various points in the State, No disturbances, however, | are reported, and both the officers of the army and the colored people regard the move- | Ment as political and practically unneces- sary. Strong speeches have been made in the State Convention to-day by negro delegates tavoring an honest government, but it is probable Chamberlain, the candidate of Patterson and the Custom House ring, will be tne choice. The taxpayers are also in convention, wiiling to acceps any honest republican named by the other side. Ifany conservative candidate 13 named after the failure of the conservative negroes to select a man, General Kersbaw will doubtless be the nominee. Money from New York has been telegraphed for by prominent republicans to aid tn securing the success of the ring. The fight is purely between the natives and carpet-baggers of both races. Address of Governor Moses to the Con- vention—The Outlook at the Adjourn- ment. CotumarA, 8. C., Sept. 11, 1874. Governor Moses addressed the Convention to- night by invitation and, while not withdrawing, declared his willingness to make any sacrifice for tne good of the party. The outlook at the adjourn- ment to-night is rather uniavorable to the pros- pects of Chamberlain, and a@ strong effort will be made in his interest by a third candidate. SOLACE FOR THE soUTH. Colonel Mosby on the Proposed Peace Reconstruction Convention—No Rehabilitation Perfect without the Help of Southern Hands—The Civil Rights Bill—The Third Term. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 1874, Mecting Colonel Mosby a,few days ago the con- versation turned upon the financial condition of the Southern States ana the remedy for the exist- ing troubles, He carefully read the H&RALp's call for @ national convention of peace and recon- struction, and said he most heartily indorsea every sentiment expressed in the HeRALD of the 4th as well as in subsequent articles on the same subject. But the remedy proposed—ot calling a convention—did not appear practicable to him. While he believed it would be wise for representa- tive men of the South to come together and declare to the country a determination to Jaber for the work of perfect reconstruction, without regard to past prejudices, yet he did not see that even that would work any radical change in the condition or man-+ agement of affairs in the worst localities. And in | this regard Colonel Mosby may be justly called a representative man. His career during the war, his adherence to old Southern customs and his zeal for the improvement of the Southern States | make him acompetent judge in the considera- tion of a@ subject of so much interest to the South- | erm section of the country. “There are, two ele- | ments,” said the Colonel, “constantly warring against the peace and prosperity of the South. | The first ts a relic of the war—a determination not to accept the situation and conform to the exist- ing condition of aifairs—and the other is @ result of the war—the introduction of the carpet-bag politician, whose only claim for office was his loy- alty, and who accepted political trusts for which | he was in no way fitted. It would be aiMcult to | say which of the two classes has hindered most the perfect reconstruction of the South.” “You believe, then, that it would have been the | better policy if men of the stamp of Longstreet and Orr had made terms with the administration at the beginning of Grant's first term?” | SOUTHERN RADICALS. “It would have been decidedly better; but the majority of Southern men do not like to be charged with inconsistency and have refused to recognize the fact that the rebellion tg dead and with it | slavery too, Tne HRRALD asks—‘Can we reall | reconstruct the Southern States witnout the ai of the real sous of the South?’ “No, sir, without their aid it never will | be done, But how can that aid be se- | secured? Take my own case ior instance. My most bitter opponents in Virginia are not Vir- ginians, out what 1 call the radical follow: erg of the republican party. They hate me | with @ heartiness that is enough to dis- | gust my neighbors with that party. The cause 1s simply the President’s friendship toward me, and that js based, not on personal giounds, but because General Grant knows there can be no such thing as solid reconstruction unless the Southern opie themseives help to make it permanent, Extend my case and you will see that the Southern people have but little to encourage them. The party leaders seom to regard the South | as not @ portion of the Union, but a | vast corral of voters to be used for selfish purposes only, if we cannot hope for magna- nimity (rom the dominant party, Woat can be | Cal tricksters, | ceeds in improving the minds of Congressmen, | tion of expected irom a national convention? No paper platforms, declarations or resolutions will be of any avail.” THE REMEDY. “What would you suvgest, then, as the remedy for the evils fastening themselves on the South?” “Lhardly know how to answer that question. ‘The cqurse I adopted and bave urged seemed to me to be the surest way out of our diflicuities.”” “What is your policy then?” in the first place the re-election of President Grant tn 1876 and the agitation now of the third- term Movement. The uame of Grant is of itself a tower Of strength, aud ail classes o! people in the South know the man, and the number who believe that he is disposed to do all tn bis —, to liv the South from its disorganized condition is increasing every day, Then let leading Southern men assure the President that they would rather see men whose imterests are identified with the South appointed to the federal offices in place of carpet-baggers and mere poiiti- I am sure the President would gladly carry out the suggestion, but it ts not his Place to seek for candidates while the peopie by their violence evince contempt Jor the President and the adminstration. AN BSSE would be the selection of a better class of men as legislators and State oMcers. i say that 1 would begin with advocating the re-election of Presiaent Grant; for 1 do noi suppose It Is doubted that the next President will be arepublican. If itis not Grant it will be some politician, and from such a | President tue South would have but littie to hope for in the way of peace and reconstruction, Very much of the evil burdening the South to-day is Wholly attributable to the indifference of the eopie themselves; and when they cease to take Interest in vhelr own prosperity it would hardly be expected their Northera neighbors should do so lor them.” THE NEGRO’S SOCIAL POSITION. “Will the Civil Rights bill, 19 your opinion, hin- der the work of restoring confidence in the South? “Unquestionably it wil. How much of the Southern trouble is due to the elevation of the slave to citizenship it would be idle to discuss. But tf, in addition, you force him upon society, compel the whites to meet him in the schools, you will have arrayed ali there is of Cancasian pride against him, and nothing babdisorder aud ® war of races would be the result.’” “You do not believe, then, that @ national con- vention would bring about practical resalts?”” “Not as I see things now. ‘Talk will never ac- compiish what I judge it to be the ambition of the HERALD now to attain. The Southern leaders be- leve all their drawbacks come trom the dominant party, and while they refuse to recognize tat Party I do not see what good it would be to have @ convention that is powerless to remedy real or imaginary wrongs. However, I am glad the HERALD has taken the subject up, and if it suc- that may eventually lead to the other work of establishing the South on an everlasting 1ounda- tion of peace and prosperity.” NEBRASKA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Congressional and State Nomination— A Hard Money. Platform—Opposition to Monopolies and Sumptuary Laws. OmaHa, Sept. 11, 1874, The Democratic State Convention assembled at Lincoln yesterday. Almost every county in the State was represented, and it was the largest democratic convention ever held in this State. The proceedings were conducted with dignity. Colonel J. H. Savage, of Douglas, was nominated for Con- gress, and A. Tuxpury for Governor. THE PLATPORM ADOPTED DECLARES ‘Férat—For resumption of a specie value as the basis of | the currency: the resumption of specie payments by | the governinent as soon as possible without dinssior to the business interests of the country by steadily oppos ing inflation, and for the payment of the national in- debtedness in money of the civilized world. ‘Second—For individual liberty and opposition to stmp- tuary laws; for commerce and no tari except for reveune Fposes. Third—For a rigid restriction of government, both State and national, to its legitimate domain pf political power by excluding therefrom all execative and legis. lative intermeddling with the affairs of sociery, whered: monopolies are fostered, privileged classes aggrandized, and individual freedom unnecessarily and oppressively restrained. Fourth— the right and duty of the State to protect its | citizens from extortion abd unjust discrimmauon by chartered monopolies. ‘Ihat, we appreciate the beneficial influence of ratlroads in developing the resources of the country and tavor liberal legislation in that direction, but only on a basis of taxation equitable in its application both to citi- zens and corporations. ‘Sixth—That we believe the people are the source of all power, and that their will, and not the wishes of mere arty demagogues, should govern and torm the real Basis of all republican government. THE STATE TICKET. John A. Therty, of York county, was nominated for Secretary of State. Robert Jordan, of Hall county, was nominated lor State Treasurer, A resolution introduced pleaging tne democratic party of the State to discountenance the removal of the State capital, except through a constitu- tional law of legislative enactment, caused much discussion and contusion, and was finally reterred. Alter an iniormal ballot Montgomery Lancaster | was nominated by acclamation for Attorney Gen- | eral, and the Convention adjourned sine die. THE MISSOURI REPUBLIOANS, Address of the State Central Committee. Sr. Louis, Sept. 11, 1874. Henry T. Blow, chairman, and N. M. Morris, secretary of the Republican State Cen- tral Committee, in an address to the repub- licans of the State, urge them in the elec- | delegates to the State Convention | to be held September 23, to reaffirm the principles | of the party and perpetuate its influence by disci- phne and organized effort. They then assert that tne democracy of the nation 1s in| open and avowed antagonism to the prin- | ciples established by the republican party and whien iv was hoped would be the basis for the restoration and perpetuation of the Union. The | democratic organs, they say, do not conceal the fact | that a war of races is inevitable, and that in the | conflict the White League, aiaed by the democratic party, will reassert the claims of the past, and in Tne South to-day the invitation to snake nands across the bloody chasm has been changed to a determination to make A BLOODIER AND DEEPER CHASM, filled with the victims of a fiendish war of | strong against weak; the two most solemn | obligations, not only of the republican party, but of the nation, are set at naught; the one by threatened repudiation, and the other by murderous outlawry@ ‘ney then make several specific charges be 3 nst the demo- cratic party, recite what republicans ought to do, and urge them to maintain in Con- vention honor and dignity. The great na- tional party firmly stands by its glorious prin- ciples and defies all enemies, inside or outside of the party, to dislodge them from the moorings of their perfect faith.

Wasuinarton, Sept. 11, 1874 It is part of the history of the rebellion that its representative leader, Jefferson Davis, was captured, disguised in female wearing apparel, while endeavoring to make his escape from the country. At the same time his personal effects were aiso captured and forwarded to the War De- partment by General James A. Wilson, now of New York city, The box containing them was taken in personal charge by Secretary Stanton, who was very fond for the time being of holding up and exhibiting to visitors the petticoat that | Davis wore when captured. Eventualiy the box was passed over tothe charge of Adjutant Gen- eral Towusend, he being, by usage, the custodian of all the odds and ends accumulating in the de- partment. The box was strapped and sealed by the Adjutant General, and for nine years has nad the quiet of a sarcophagus, BX-PRESIDENT DAVIS AFTER DOCUMENTS. A few weeks ago Mr. Davis had his memory jostled by a business transaction, winch made it important to have certain private papers stowed away in the catacomb of the War Department, Through a Southern friend ‘he communicated with the Secretary of War, and asked if there was any impropriety in requesting the return of such un- important documents and letters as would only be of service to him in business relations. Gen- eral Belknap thought there would be none, and THE URN OF THE CONFEDERACY was brought forth, the seal broken and the con- tents examined. The letters and private papers were ordered to be returned. A ring, several boxes of cigars brought by blockade runners, and | nov having the loyal evidence of internal revenue | stamps, underwear and linen shirts, in as good state of preservation as any cloth about the mum- mies at the Smithsonian Institution, were also in- cluded in the cutegory.

Not all the delicate hands of the ten- derest females in General Spinner’s Redemption Division could have handled the celebrated gown | So as to preserve its shape or even its identity, At the bottom of the box were exhumed dreadful embiems of war, @ pair of revolvers and a carbine, Should these, too, be returned? A COUNCIL OF WAR was held, at whion General Townsend, General Vincent and the secretary of War were present. It wass lemnoly resolved that at the present criti- | cal juncture im the affairs of the South it wonld Se imprudent for the War Department to furnish arms to the ex-President of the | deceased Contederacy.

It can be stated that this affair had nothing whatever to do with the re- | cent outrages in the Southern States, Mr. Davis gets bis private papers, some of his lends have been favored with the dried up cigars as souvenirs of the lost cause, and ali that is dangerous, the | revolvers and carbine, again repose peacefully in | | | the War Department, for the seal of General Town- sena has consigned the box to its olq position, wrapped about with red tape and marked. “handle with care.” WASHINGTON. ‘ WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 1874.

Parsimony Toward Government Em- ployes. ‘The Postmaster General has directed that no ad- vance or payment be made to clerks or employés on account of salary for services not rendered, and for wnich compensation is not fully due at the time of payment.

An old doctor, who examined the wounds in the man’s head and the plan of the house, has come to the conclusion that Mr. Hen- derson was struck, while sitting at the dinner table, from behind by blows from an axe, as the wound is very shallow toward the fore part of the head and very deep in the back portion, thus showing that the woman's story ol striking him while standing up ts iucredibie. The other wound was evidently made when the man, sur- prised at the flerce blow, turned nis head, the axe striking him a little above the ear, across the other wound, The man fell to the floor, and the woman, scared at What she tad done, ran to the Woods and thence to the house of Squire Gary. ‘The man ts still alive, although the braing exude in a horrible manner. There is no aoubt felt here Ca eta guilt, and it will provabiy go hard with her, ; THE WEEKLY HERALD. The Cheapest and Best Newspaper in the Country.
