Fetiow Crrizens—i come among you in tulfilment of a purpose which I have entertained for a long time ot making myselt acauainted by observation with the con- dition of the National Guard ‘of the State. While I am very grateful to you for your friendly cali, I feel it in- cumbent ohne me, a1 an here ona barely official duty, tw abstain Spee fee! or doing anything which may, by ® posmble misconstraction, be deemed to have in view @ personal or partisan object.

I have looked torward with much pleasure to the opportunity of reviewing the division of the National Guard which assembied in your city to-day ana which has afforded me much gratification by ‘its soldierly appearance, The impor- tance of the military organ! on of which itis a part has not always been properly appreciated, and I avail myselt of the occasion to gest some consideration: which ought not to be overlooked. Under the act o' Congress providing for the organization of the militia all able-bodied citizens between the of eighteen and forty-five were enrolled and into companies, battalions, regiments, Drigades and divisions, with two or three company drills inea:h year and a ntal inspection, which was commonly called the general traluing. “The theory of the m was that every citizen should be armed and with the use of arms When I was Adjutant General of the state, over forty years ago, T reported to the Legislature, if I remember rightly, ant organized militia torce of about 190,000 men. At'the present time, if this system had been continued, we should have had about 40,000 able-bodied men enrolled and capable of performing poet, duty.

I have, therefore, on the officers and members of the National Guard the duty of devoting themselves to cg ubject with "a deal, commensurate with the confidence which the State has sed in them.

But, when it became the settled policy of the United States to make the colored men citizens in reality, clothed with all the powers aud rights of citizens, they rebelled against it Now let us reverse the picture, Suppose Grant had surrendered to Lee, and that conventions haa been calicd at the North to deciare that slavery is forever established; that all bonds, State and ied- era), greenback obligations, &c., collected in the War against the South be void, and that ail con- federate bonds, pensions, &c., be forever held sa- cred and inviolate. how long, do you think, before the peopie oi the North would become recoucticd to such @ state of things? Then you can see how the secession element look upon the present state of affairs, They are as much opposed to it as they ever were. RECONSTRUCTION 4 PAILUBK. They hope to overthrow the republican party by showing that republican reconstruction upon the basis of civil and political equality 1s ap utter failure. Thts is the reason why murderers cannot Le punished. We must address ourseives to the consideration of how tis state of affairs can be changed. Untilit is changed we cannot hope for peace in the land. he overnment Las said that reconstruction shall Ge'sustained, and has had recent occasion to exercise tts power in one of tne Gulf States. Fortunate was it jor the country that there was @ man with the nerve to do nis duty in the Executive chatr, Now, what shalt be donet Every man here, it 18 presumed, desires to see State authority preserved and used tn protecting lle, liberty and property.

Because there is an underlying pablie sentiment that will not sustain the laws. in the speaker’s own State every citizen took an ath not to interiere wi'h the equal freedom of ail before the law. Yet, how could they join in the perpetration of such outrages as aré com- mitted except for & public sentiment in opposition to law. Cannot the people of the bouth be brought to see that it is vain to make wer against tis idea of civil and political equality? Can they not seo that it is vain to war longer against the tederal government, for I despair of State authority? It not, tae power of tne federal government must be invoked to give its protec- Uon to lite, liberty and home. It will be one of the most solemn duties of this Convention to consider when and under what cir- cumsiances this invocation shali be made.

Under this law the Ku Klux, or, a3 they are now calied, the White Leaguers, can have grand and petit juries; but the jurors should be Gompelled to declare under oath that they do not belong to the White League ‘or ku Klux organization.

That was not the chivalry the South dis- plaved in the late war, nor in the Mexican war, nor in the War of 1812. To conclusion he thanked the Convention for the bono; conierred upon him, aud urged that in the solemn deliberations o1 the Convention, which were to affect every home in the South, which Would touch the homes of the North, and would go far to show to the eyes ol the world whether we were capable of self-government or not, they must act with a view to the vast rcsponsibiiities placed upou thea, We were not called upon to pour out our heart’s blood like him who gathered the spears tm bis hand and said, “Make way for liberty,” an died; but we are called upon to devote tue best powers of our intellect to this great task. At the conclusion of Governor Parson’s remarks, which were loudly applauded, the Vice Presidents came forward and took seats on the rostrum. On motion o! J. H. SPEND, Of Alabama, it was re- solved Ghat each State when voting be entitled to the same number of votes as in the Electoral Col- bg, (as per the call). ‘ne rules of the House of Representatives were- adopted. THE FIRST VERBAL OONTEST, A lively debate aprung up on a proposition to G@ppoint acommittee on address and resolutions, The question was whether the committee should be composed of one or three trom each State. Mr. PINCHBACK, Ot Louisiana, said he favored large committees, as there was a desire lor a smail notoriety here which be had seldom seen in such & body. Ii the members were not all appointed on committees the Convention could not adjourn until all had @ chauce to amend tne re- ports of the committees. With a view of saving time he would preter that the committees be composed oi two or three members, as sume matters would come up which ought not to ve considered unless some of the ambitious members got @ chance to air their eloquence in the com- mittee room. JOHN BRown, of Tennessee, insisted that the committee on resolutions be composed at least ol one from eacu State, Then on motion it was ordered that a committee of three irom each State be appointed on resolutions, to whom all resolu- tions be relerred. Without debate it was then resolved to appoint & committee of one irom each State to prepare an address upon the condition of affairs in the South- ern States, 4 debate arose as to the namber to be appointed on the Committee on Aduress, to which the dele- Sob m Mississipp! wanted @ larger number van O1 E, C, Camp said he was willing that Mississippi should have two members and cast one vote. ‘Tennessee bad brains enough in one man to fill @ piace on that committee. it. BROWN, Of Mississippi, satd that Mississippi had brains ehough to equal any State, and was not afraid to compare witn any reconstructed | State. Another delegate said hé hoped Tennessee would Not put up Brownlow as a sample of their brains. Governor BROOKS, Of Arkansas, waived the ap- b rerrctey of a committee of one from each State elegation to gather and collect facts and statia- ee ae regard to the condition of the Southern ial Governor Davis, of Texas, thought this should be the province of the Committee on Address, and moved that Governor Brooks’ motion be taid on the tabie, but withdrew the motion to let Governor Brooks explain. Governor BROOKS said his only odject was to divide the labor and facilitate the business of the Convention, The Commitee on Address would nave euough to do to work up the facta furmshed them. He wished also the committee to be maae per and statistics until their object was accomplished, Fresh facts would be constan transpiriug—ne apprehended fearful facts—and tney should be preserved and kept before the country. Governor Brooks! motion was then adopted. MADISON Davis, of Georgia, moved for a com- mitiee on outrages alone, but was persuaded to withdraw the motion. The President of the Convention was added. THE COMMITTERS, ore or less secure and the reasons therefor, whichever @ tact may be. Ouirages of all classes should be care- fully reported, whether resulting in crime or extending tnd to intimidation. The spirit and purpose of ihe action of the legislative, judicial and execntive de- artments should be reviewed. All, in fact, fiat tends disorder, lawlessness or oppression may well be con- sidered. Upon the whole record thus honestly and tairly made up the considerate jadgment of the American peo- ple may be safely invoked. To the sincere and thought- tal statesmen who will assemble on this occasion these | state that they are suggestions only, and that they supmitted with great diflidence, but with the sitcere hope that they may to some extent aid in securinx a caretul preparation for the work of the Convention and ‘@ full attendance upon its sittings.

THE ELECTIONS. Meagre Returns from Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska. Ohio. COLUMBUS, Oct. 13, 1874.

Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13, 1874, ‘The returns come in very slowly, with nothing to indicate a definite result on the State ticket. A few scattering returns show about equai repubit- can and democratic gains. The vote for the ph ehh tacket ia very small.

GENERAL BUTLER ON THE STUMP, Characteristic Address on the Alabama Claims—The Finances and the South. Boston, Mass., Oot. 13, 1874. At Newburyport yesterday afternoon and at North Andover last evening, General Butler ad- dressed meetings, setting forth his views on van- ous public goestions. Referring to the reciprocity t deter- treaty wi Canada, he repeated his mination to oppose the proviso that the vessela of Canada, Nova Scotla and New Branswick shall euter our harbors under the same terms a8 American vessels. ‘He thought the Alabama Treaty @ mistake, and thanked God that he was not one of the Commissioners who nego- tiated it. He complimented General Cushing for his part in obtaining the Geneva award, and de- fended his own position in regard to the award Sud the insurance companies. As to THE FINANCES, he said there was a difference of opinion between the East and the West, and he thought it well not to oppose the Western empire, which is destined soon to govern tne whole country. He saw there was not currency enough for the people, but thought that affairs as the uth presented graver ques- tions than that of finance. The war, he said, was notended. The meeting at North Andover was presided over by George L. Davi SAM SIMMONS ON THE WARPATH. Boston, Mass., Oct. 13, 1374. Sam Simmons {s out in another letter replying to Butler’s speech of yesterday, Its chief point is that charging Butler with allowing his expenses to be paid by the democrats and liquor dealers. THE WILD INDIAN. The Killing of the Osages by Kansas Militia—Report of the Commissioner Appointed to Investigate the Facts— Chiefs of the Ottoes Arrested. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 1874. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Smith to-day transmitted to the Acting Secretary of the Interior the report made to him recently by the commis- sion appointed to investigate the facts relative to the killing of the Osage Indians last August by on this report, Commissioner Smith says that twenty-five men, completely armed, attacked eighteen unarmed Bie Indians, with women and children, and killed four of them; that the Governor of Kansas indorsed this outrage by en- listing these men in the Kansas militia, antedat- that the commission, headed by ex-Governor Shannon, of Kansas, after finding these facts, recommend merely that the Kansas authorities be requested to give up some property which was captured from the es at the time of their murder, and that, in case this be refused, the ted- that extent. deems He accounts, however, for whut he THE NOTIORABLE MILDNESS of this recommendation, by remarking that our government 18 without the power to induce any owner action, and that it was doubtioss realized by the Commissioners that criminal proceedings against these murderers would be tried by a jury ol their sympathizing neighbors, and even if @ conviction could be procured the anteaating of thelr commission by te Governor is a sure pledge of Executive clemency. THR OTTOES. A telegram from tne headquatters of the Depart- cipal meu of the Ottoes have been arrested and are confined at Fort Hayes, The remainder of the band are in camp, and said they were waiting for their chiefs.

Last Nig Concerts. Misa Rosa McGeachy made ber pubiic début as an American prima donna last night at Stemway Hat She appeared tn an aria from ‘La Forza det Destino,” with chorus Gans les coulisses, and the “power of fate” seemed to be against her tn this selection. She afterwards sang 10 the trio trom “I Dae Foscart,” with Benfrateili and Del Puente; ‘in adno trom “Roberto Devereux,” io the grand uris for soprano from “Nabico,” and tn the septet from “La Reine de Saba,’ with Miss Jackson, Mile. Dubois, Benfratelli, Lotti, Del Puente and Hall Five of the selections on the bili wore by Verdi, showing the preference for the greaé Itaitan maestro, Miss McGeachy’s voice ta light im calibre, but pearly and crystalline im tone and she Sives evidence of considerable natural talent. The School is rather crude aad unfinished, yet as (ar as the training of the young aspirant for prima doona honors 13 concerded there, 18 hope 1bF un- portant results wien experience ts brought Into requisition, The selections made by Miss Mo~ Geachy were uot judicious. The airs from the two | operas of Verci might well nave been replaced by something more tn ordance with the exigen- cles of the occasion, The débutante gid uot appear to advantaye in either. Yeu she gave proof of natural abtiity of such a high order aa slould encourage her to (urther and more deatra- ble efforts. Miss Sopiue Flora fleubron, paniate, played Weber's “ aia a wy were “La Cascade” and Willle Pape’a © vik Blamonae", with @ finish, neatuess, efect and brio surpilsiag in puch young performer. The tenor, uira. telli, and the varytone, Del Paente, a duet from “li Barbiere,” and the contralto, Miss Jack- son, made sad havoc of Arthur Sulivan’s song, “Looking Back.” This lady’s singing was th moh paiuiul and ludicrous we have ever heard ip ublic, punoiher concert was given at Irving Hali under the auspices of a company Oo! the Ninth regiment, The iollowing artists appeared:—Mme, Marie Sai- votti, Miss Brophy, Mrs. Davidson, Miss Farreu, Messrs. Hills, Remmertz, Brandt, Pease and Elier, Mme. Salvotti, a true prima donna dramatica, sang in the trio from *‘Attila,” an aria from “Forz del Destino” and in the quartet from ‘Martha,’ Her voice, full toned and surcharged with passion- ate expression, gave effect to everything she ea- sayed, Mme, yotti has long held a prominens and deservedly proud position in concert tn chile city. Mr. Pease, & graceful and brilliant piano player, rendered two of his finest trapscriptiona, “Mignon,” and ‘Crispino’ with that crispness of tone, ease of execution and entire clearness of rendering that might be expected trom suche tuoi ough artist. Marchetti’s New Opera—“‘Ruy Bl The jast rehearsal of this much vaunted work took place at the Academy yesterday. The Aras performance will be given to-night with the follow- ing cast:—Donna Maria de Neubourg, Queen of Spain, Signora Potentini; Casilda, lady of honor, Miss Annie Louise Cary; Ruy BI Signor Oarpt; Don Sailusuo, Signor Del Puen Don Guistaao, Signor Fiorini, The stage arrangement of the opera is as follows:—Act I., Grand Hall of State in the Royal Palace of Madrid. Act Il, Gardone adjoining the Royal Palace. Act III, The Counctl Chamber of the Royal Palace. Act IV., Cabinet of don sullustio, Signor Emmanuel Muzio will con~ duct the orchestra and M. Van Hamme will atten@ to the stage. The production of this opera will be the first novelty of toe season and cannot fail to excite considerable interest in musical circles. The music ts purely Italian, melodious, aud sbound- ing in reminiscences of Verdi, Bellini and Doni- zevl. It may be considered as & work of the old Italian school, with little of she modern effects in the tnstramentation. There are many delicious morceau scatiered through it and some ;grand ensembies. Being de- void of the new German schoo! that so largely per- vades lyric compositions of the present day, ite production will be all the more interesting. All, other composers, except, perhaps, Gomes, have bent their cnees betore the shrine of the Zukury¥ deity, and it remains to be seen whether the old forms and the sheer power of melody can, even in young hands, gain with our public the same faver Qs the metaphysics and overpowering mode expression affected vy Wagner and his imitators. Mile. Emma Albani, the New American Prima Donna. The good ship Bothnia will probably bring to our shores to-day one of the most distinguished lyria artists that this country has produced. Mile. La Jennesse, known on the stage as Mile. Albant, was born twenty-iour years ago in Plattsburg, N.Y. She ts not, therefore, a Canadian, as the | European journals style her. Sue lived forsome time in Albany as a music teacher, and she adopted the name of that town when she began her operatia career, Duprez became ber teacher in Paris in 1868, and Lamperti, of Milan, two years afterwards, un- dertook the task of bringing her outin opera, Since that time her success tn the lyric eid bas been an extraordinary character. Last summer she absolutely suared the bonors with Adelina Patth at Covent Garden. The London critics speak a enthusiastically about her and her success at the principal opera houses of Europe has been of such @ pronounced kind, that every one must naturally feel anxious to hear her at the Academy of Music. A few days | will determine in the metropolitan criti- cal mind whether suco laviso praise ts de- | served or not, Mile. Alvani makes her frst ap- pearance in this country oh Monday eveulnog, ia | “Lacta,” an opera whicn will test her capabilities severely, Everytiing seems to be in her favor, youth, beauty, talent and experience. She will alterwards appear in ‘“Komeo and Jultet,” “L’ Etoile du Nord.” “Mignon,” “Linda,” “Lonen- grin,” “Hamlet,” “Rigoletto,” ‘Robert le Diable'* and “The Flying Dutchman.” Life Insured for a Few Dimes.—The rice of HALE’S HONBY OF HOREHOUND AND TAR SS centsorSl a bottle, and one botile will cure a cough that might otherwise prove fatal.
