By consultation with our correspondents in New- Orleans we have discovered that our dispatches, though promptly sent from the South, are nsually five hours in coming over the wires. An explanation of this singularly slow telegraphing is more difficult to obtain, The News denies that Chief-Justice Ruffin of North Carolina recently decided that the Constitution of that State was passed by an illegal Convention, and that the President was guilty of usurpation eud yranny in calling it. He did express that opinion, aud The News approved it, though objecting to it as im- politic on the part of Judge Ruffin.

THE UNION €O NTION. The Union Convention will be held at Syracuse, Wednesday, September 5, to nominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Canal Commissioner, and Inspector of State Prisons. The resolution of the State Committes callsupon *“ all Union electors of the State of New-York who desire the maintenance of the Union, the supremaey of the Constitation and com- plete suppression of the cause of the late Rebellion Ly all aptand efficient moans.” This call is wide enough to embrace every Unionist in New-York, no matter Low timid he may be, who is not at heart a Copper- head or an office-holder. We could have wished that an earlicr day had been named for the nominations. Wednesday, August 22, would have been moro sea- sonable, and havo given ns two more weeks to work. Still wo oan work the harder when the time comes. i —— THE LESSON OF THE MANSACRE. Dreadful as were the riots at New-Orloans, there is a dread which they suggest far greater. Those scones of blood and death have a more terrible siguificance when we reflect that they were not exceptional, that they too faithfully express the spirit of a strong class at the South, and its Northern friends, and that they are the result of a national policy. We should attach little importance to a single outbreak if there was reason to believe it was due to local causes, but the conviction is forced upon us that New-Orleans means the whole South, as Presidentially reconstructed, and we shudder to think of the future. When the war ended, and the South, prostrate on the battle-field, lifted up its hands and implored mercy of its conquerors, we, too, pleaded in its behalf. That for four years it had fought against the Union with a ferocity which aliens might have been ashamed of; that it had imposed upon the country a vast debt which generations unborn would be heavily taxed to hat it bad forfeited every right it formerly pos- ssed—all this we remembered, but we did no forget that on our part we had fought and conquered these enemies to keep them forever our countrymen, To retain the Southern States in the Union the war had boen waged and won, and, not alarmed by the fable of the man who warmed the viper in his bosom, wo desired the Government to win the South to the Union by a magnanimous pardon, rather than to bind it by chains of fear. Then we urged universal amuesty, and with it, with eq forvor, universal suffrage. The first alone has raised the enemics of the Union to their ancient power; it has given back the whip into their hands, and already in New-Orleans thoy have grasped tho sword. Bat what has it done fow the friends of the Union in the South? The white men are in a powerless minority, and the loyal blacks, though nominally free, are naked and defenseless, without a voice in the Government, abandoned to the very men who began the war to maintain and extend the slave system. This may be called mercy, but it is cruelty. It is punishment to the loyal; it is reward to the traitors, The seed thus sown has sprung up in poison flowers over all the South, and ripened in bloody fruit in the riots of New Orleans. Universal sufTrage would have destroyed the cause of all quarrels. When the war ended, the South ex- pected impartial suffrage to Le required, and would gladly have agreed to it. Too gladly would nine- tenths of the leading Rebels have purchased amnesty by this simple concession, for who could have thought that in common justice the nment would have given less reward to its true and consistent friends; would have required less for its own honor and the interests of humanity. When it culpably failed to insist that the right of franchise to all loyal men should be the precedent of forgiveness to traitors, it surrendered all the moral and nearly all the legal powers it possessed over the Rebel States. It abandoned every position of strength, till, to-day, it stands as the apologist for Rebellion, and the de- er of Rebel But it has not discouraged the friends of impartial suffrage, abandon their work., It never will; we are resolved to have it, and the Now.Orleans massacres are the strongest proof that it is the only hope for the restora- tion of the South and the peace of the Union. The Louisiana Convention had broken no law, or | if they had they were willing to have the case ad- | judged in the c arts. But the mere suspicion of an effort to obtain the franchise for the blacks, peaceful as it was, aroused the worst passions of Slavery, aud, | assured that the Government would not interfere, the )b resolved to make a bloody example of the re- formers and teach them that such a Convention could never be held in any Southern State. This is the result of pardoning traitors without enfranchising Union men. Had the freedmen been given the right to vote, its exercise might have led to disturbances at the polls, similar to the partisan fights which have always | occurred; but this gencral conspiracy to establish o Reign of Terror throughout the South eould never bave been organized. Now, there are but two courses, cither we must forever submit to sce the Rebel power dominant, and the loyal blacks redaced to the condition of serfs, or we must continue to demand their rights, To the disgrace we can never yield; mnever, mever was the duty of working for universal rights more sacred. We have tried a policy which has dishonored the nation; it has made Sheridan the mere Lieutenant of a Rebel officer; it lins murdered the Union men of Louisiana; it has proved to be the parent of revolution and death, Let us adopt the true policy. Let us com- Dine the two principles of Universal Amnesty and Im- partial Suffrage, and we establish Peace. Continue to divide them, and though we may still escape a war, we are certain of continued trouble, —— THE FIRST OF AUGUST CELEBRA- TION. In observance of what we are glad to find has now grown into a custom here, the colored people of this city and Brooklyn have just been celebrating the anuiversary of emancipation in the British West Indies. They do well in observing this annual festival, The First of Augnst is a memorable day with the race; for it marks an epoch in their history—a starting point in their - career. On that day, in the year 1838, emanci- pation was proolaimed throughout the West India possessions of Great Britain, and 800,000 hu- man beings were delivered from the condition of chattels, passing into the inheritance of the common birthright of man—individual freedom and political equality. That was a glorious act which struck the fetters off these people, persecuted and oppressed through & long period of time, and placed them in & position for vindicating their claim to be considered o portion of the human femily. It is a3 foolish as it is useless to attempt to detract from the merit of the act, Dy insinuating that it was dictated by purely political considerations. On this point History gives forth no uncertain sound, and her testimony is clear and emphatic to the effect, that negro freedom in the West Indies was the result of an extraordinary awakening of the Christian con- science of England, which, penetrated with a convie- tion of the utter iniquity of Slavery, determined to rid the nation of the sin and shamo of the villainous system. And whatever may have been the shortcom- ings of tho British people since emancipation, with regard to the duty they owed those to whom they had given freedom, the liberation of the negro #laves of their West India colonies must ever bo regarded by all impartial men as an act reflecting the highest honor on the nation. EiDanoigation wes regesded @ a0 exoeriment; sad nor caused them to | e ——— there were not wanting at the time when it took effect prophets of evil who predicted its utter fuilure. But it has notin any sense failed. As regards the material in- terests of the colonies, there have been, it is true, great changes during the last thirty years. In some of the colonies—Jamaica, for example—the fortunes of the old plantocracy have been considerably reduced; but cotemporaneously with the decline of one particular class, another class has arisen, consist- mg of the late slaves and their offspring, who are cradually developing new sources of wealth, and creating a more healthy state of things than existed in the days of Slavery. Wealth and com- fort are not now the exclusive inheritance ot one class, but are being generally diffused throughout the whole community, The **small sottler” intorest in Jamaica is gradually but surely rising into great importance, both as an industrial agency and a social eloment. And if we look at some of the other colonies we find tho planting interest proper, that is, the interest connected with the large plan- tation aystem, in & much more thriving state than during the days of Slavery. Demerara bas risen from comparative insignificance as 8 producing coun- try to be o first-class sugar colony. Trinidad is fol- lowing olosely in her wake. The aunual exports of Antigua are larger at present than they were beforo emancipation; and during the lnst 25 years Barbadoes has more than doubled her exports of sugar. It is ad- mitted that the industry of Demerara and Trinidad bas been largely aided by coolie immigration; but (his imported labor has only supplemonted, not dis- placed, native labor, without which it would be im- possible to continue sugar cultivation. Thus, wheth- or working for themselyes as independent scttlers, as in Jamaica, or for wages on the large plantations, as in the other colonios we have named, the freedmen of the West Indies have trinmphantly refuted the slander that laziness was so deeply ingrained in their nature that nothing but the sharp coercion of the lash could stimulate them to steady industry, In respect of the moral aspects of the question, too, the signs are all encouraging and hopeful, Education is spreading, civilization is steadily advancing, among the blacks; and considering that but little more than a quarter of a century has elapsed since these people wore delivered from a bondage s debasing as it was cruel, the sooial progress which has been made by them must be pro- nounced something truly wonderful, The colored people of the United States have no reason then to bo ashamed of their brethren in the tropics; for theso have already triumphautly vindicated the claims ot the race to the attributes of humanity, and to participa- tion in the benefits and responsibilitios of & progres- sive civilization. But whilo our colored citizens celebrate the deliverance which the First of August, 1538, witnessed, let them not be unmindful of the moral of the history of West Iudia emancipation. Starting in the race of freedom with superior advan- tages to those enjoyed by the freedmen of Jamaica and other colonies, it is for them to give brighter evi- donce of the capabilities of their race for improvement in everything that is excellent and praiseworthy—for ‘ them to prove themselves fully equal to the duties of {hat state of freedom which,in common with the white citizons of our conntry, it is now their happiness to enjoy all over the Union—thereby hastening the time when African slavery, so fruitful in woes, shall for- ever ceaso to afflict the world with its terrible evils. —_———— THR “CONVENTION.” The Times printed the other day a longlist of “‘dele- | gatos and alternates elected Lo attend the Convention at | Baratoga on the 9th inst.," not one of whom, it seems, was ever eleoted Ly the people.

Here, then, is the beginning and end in brief of the Saratoga Convention, just as Mr. Weed and The Times ordained it. The people had no part in it whatever, nor is it certain that all the delegates uncomplain- ingly accept the bad fortune that has been prema- turely buckled on their backs. If Mr. Weed and The Times determine ut all bazards to convene them- selyes, wo shall not endeavor to prevent them. But the people must be fully informed that the **Saratoga movement” is, in barren fuct, appointed, directed and controlled by the said parties, aud noue other; aud that, as a cause pretending to emanate from the peo- ple, it is without character and truth, Before the Convention meets at Saratoga we shall probably have a revised list of names, unless its or- ganizers are content with the present chances for a merry mecting. Meanwhile, to show that all the dele- gates whose election was shammed to beat together a hurried Convention, do not consent to the imposture, we subjoin o letter from one of them, which The Times refused to print: To the Editor of The Times and all whom it may concern: Seeing my name paraded in The New-York Times of this date as one of the duly elected delegates to the Saratogs Convention from the first district of this city, I take this early opportunity of informing my friends and the public gen- erally that T still remaio troe and faithiul to the Old Republi- can Union party and its principles, and am opposed to all con- trivances in tho shape of Saratoga and Philadelphia Conven- tions, intended to injure the great Unlon organization of which 1 have been so long & member.

THE MONEY FPOWER IN ENGLISH ELECTIONS. The election of John Stuart Mill to a seat in the Commons House of Parliament marks an epoch in the political history of England, The spontancity of the choice made in this case by the constituency of Westminster, and the spirited and generous way in which the return of their favorite candidate was secured, not only form & noble tribute to the intel- Jectual and moral worth of the distinguished individ- ual whom the electors delighted to honor, but afford refroshing proof of the fict that, despite the numer- ous aud powerful influences at work in England ad- verse to the freedom and purity of election—that is, to an honest and independent choice of popular rep- resontatives—thero is an amount of political virtue extant among the people equal, if only properly evoked, to the vindication and maintenance of the fundamental principles of a constitutional govern- ment suoh as that of which England boasts. The grounds upon which Mr. Mill was eleoted and the manner in which he was returned, were a3 creditable to his supporters as they were honorable to himself. Of the recommendations—such a3 they are—of aris- tooratio linoage, high connections and great wealth, o was destitute. But he had what was better than any of these, or all of them put together, as qualify- ing & man for the efficient discharge of a public trust involving weighty responsibilities and the most im- portant interests. He had a large and enlightened acquaintance with great public questions, and be was known to be animated with a warm sympathy for all feasible measuros looking to the amelioration of tho people’s condition and tho ,progress of liberty, truth and justice in the world. The ciroumstances under which he was elocted must be still fresh in the recollection of our readers. When applied to to allow Dhimself to be put in nomination, he stipulated that he should not be called upon to spend any money for election expenses, or to canvass the votes of the eloctors. The conditions were accepted, and strictly carried ont. He spent no money; he canvassed no votes; but on the ground of merit, and of merit alone, he was trinmphantly returned to Parliament. Taken asa whole, the case is unprecedented in the politi- cal annals of England. Mill's election was a signal trinmph for the Democeracy. It was intrinsic worth assorting its superiority over the accidents of both sta. tion and wealth. Bat tho singularity of the case proves the lament- able extent to which corrupt influences prevail in elections in England, We published a few days agoa spooch of Mr. Mill's, recontly addressed to the constit- uency of Westminster, in which, reforring to the prob- ability of an early dissolution of Parliament, and to the great oxpenso attendant upon an election, he in- formed the people that as they might not like to incur such an exponso twice within the short space of twolve months, if they thought they could fight the Dattle more advantageously with any other candidate than bimself—that is, with a candidate who would bear ! the expenses that must necossarily be incurrod—he was quite willing to retire from the field. The con- stituants, of course, would not hear of this, and when the dissolation comes Mr. Mill is certain to be re- elected; for, independent of the considerations which induced his election in the first instance, he has, during his short Parliamentary career, succeeded in ostablishing claims that could not possibly be ignored. His offer, however, and the ground on which it was made, are powerfully suggestive as to the real character of most election conflicts in England. ‘Whera intimidation is not used—where landlord influ- ence does not peremptorily settle the matter, as tothe casting of votes—the money power is freely resorted to, and, as appears in evidence, unscrupulonsly used, fn the form of bribery. Mr. Miil speaks of *‘ necessary expenses,” by which we understand expenses legiti- mately incurred, and legally allowable; and these it would seem, are something appalling, save to men of the most ample means. But when the outlay incurred in corrupting voters is added, the utter hopelessness of many men like Mr. Mill being returned to Par- liament in the present state of the franchise in England, will be forcibly felt. The only remedy | for such a state of things is in the extension of the franchise. Multiply the number of voters, and you diminish the chances of successful bribery. The Westminster case shows, a8 we have said, that, under certain circumstances, the people are capable of rising superior to the corrupt arts of selfish and designing politicians. But cases like this are pain- fully exceptional, and will continue to be so, until a proper Reform il bas become the law of the land. Not until England shall have copied the example o this great Republic, and given the people full liberty in the choice of their representatives in Parliament, will brains and personal worth stand a fair chance in the battle with lineage, and privilege, and wealth, SHOULD THE CHOLERA BE RE. PORTED ? Thus far the existence of cholera in New-York has given no reason for general alarm, for the number of fatal cases is in small proportion to the total mor- tality. The common diseases are far more dangerous. The Journal of Commerce may be mistaken in believ- ing that there has not becn *‘one authenticated case of the malignant disease known as Asiatic cholera,” but it is right in asserting that any fright in regard to it is totally without foundation in reason or fact. That the trade of the city has been injured by the re- ports of an epidemic we do not doubt; the carnestness of the newspapers in insisting upon the cleansing of the strects, the publication of the bulletins of the Board of Health, the public atteution given to the cholera, have contributed to circulate the impression that New-York is visited by a dangerous pestilence. Yet for all this we do not agree with The Herald that the city journals should cease to publish the official returns of cholera made to the Board of Health, and think it particularly unfortunate in quot- ing the course of the Paris journals as an example. *In Paris, during the period when the epidemic was carrying off 300 or 400 people daily, the newspapers wore entirely silent on the subject, and no official re- ports of any kind were issucd.” Precisely for this reason, no doubt, there were 300 or 400 cases daily, and if our papers shoull now stop publishing the truth in regard to the cholera, instead of decreasing the alarm, it would triple it. The publication of the official reports, while creating a proper and well- founded sense of insecurity, has also kept it within the limits of common sense, and has been of immeasurable service, Thousands of people have been induced by those bulletins to care for their diet, and avoid dissi- pation and cxcess. The general health of the city has profited by the warnings the people have had. Nor would the excitement concerning the cholera be diminished by the ominous silence of the papers. We are suspicions of concealment, and in the absence of official statements bundreds of alarming rumors would be circalated. Wo are willing to trust the people with the knowledge of all the facts, and shall suppresa nothing. The Herald, which has, for some time, shown a disposition to retire from the arens of active journalism, would perhaps do well to farther carry out its own argument that the people are not fit to be trusted with the news, For the want of proper precautionary measures on tho part of the Surgeon-General of the United States, cholers has been planted .aa a pestilénde. along the ontire cosst of'the United States from Governor's Is- 1080 0 Gelvestop. Epigrants who bave besn released from Quarantine after ©xposuro to the infection were recruited and mixed with Well troops, at a time when the Surgeon-General must bave known there was danger, and when a single swwoke of his pen in hig office in Washington City would have prevented it. HMEALTH AND EXCISE. _ We wero right in supposing the epidemic of injane. tions was about to take favorable turn in our Jourts; but we were wrong in inadvertently stating thay Judgo Barnard hed granted permanent injunoiione in favor of cither wing of the enemies of bealth and order—the advocates of the grogshop, the champions of other public nuisances which the Board of Health is endeavoring to relieve & threatened city, Tho Judge denies that he has ever granted an injunction in favor of the bone-boiling es- tablishments. On that point he speaks with a frank- ness which in these unhealthy days is refreshing: £ all those bone boiling, fat-boiling and similar es o e S S T ‘We hope that the upholders of ill-health have heard this vigorous piece of judicial opivion, and will take counsel forthwith as best suits the health and quiet ol tho city. But the injunction to which we formerly referred, classing it naturally with the general raid upon the sanitary safety of the people, was one ta which Mr. George Bliss characterized before the court the other day as **an injunction forbidding the Board o; Health to interfere not only with the business of the plaintiff, but with any other buteher [slaughter- house keeperJin Brooklyn.” Hero again, Judge Barnard does not wish to be misunderstood as countenancing war on Health, and bis opinion, both on the powers of the Health Board and the Board of Excise, is is 8o broad and emphatic that we reprint it here as a terror and warning to the conspirators in the interests of disease, and the unlicensed spirits who aro browing mischicf to the same end: Judge Barnard—That is all wrong; 1 never granted such an njunction kwmlig draw an order confining it to the case of al:lc l:nfil 5“: sign “;"E: R ] pum.i‘l"l'a anity to_argue 1'-“ mcame‘:ln; 'fl'..‘:"x" 4 it ::ll be vacated s nfi:’m‘ on't believe in all these injuuctions; even ever it is argued; 1 casos, I have told overy one that I would grant e " ok that law and all thess o injuuctions, and that, in my opinion. laws are constitutional, and must be want to obey them had betier go down South. Judge McCunn yesterday finally refosed the fat- boilers an_injunction favorable to the cholera, declar- ing, of course, that the perpetuation of & nuisance waa decidedly injurious to the public health, and following, in the main, the excellent argument of Justice Brady, delivered not long ago. We applaud these decisions gonerally, with an ardent hope that our judges will learn to take the same enlightened view of the Excise Law as Judge Barnard. This, perhaps, is too much to expect if the Democratic judges and the Democratic party are to take Mr. McKeon's word for it, that the Excise Law was passed * to break Ml’ the Democratic majority in the rum-holes of New- York.” Had they not better get their majority out of the rum-holes, for the majority's sake ? George 1. Pendleton, who was ignorant from 186} to 1865 that any conspiracy to destroy the Govern- ment oxisted, has dicovered ono in 1865, and has found out that Gen. Grant is its leader. In a recent speech he said: “GestLemes: Have I not made out :'L that thero was & conspiracy the Constitution of the United to break down the aut! of States, and a determinat the Statet Did you see that order by Gen. Grant the day, that wherever a person was charged with having com- mitted an offense, charged through meau: alice, coward. foe, bypoerisy (aoything mey goi up , OF agent, of oitl- him for sliall be best man ja the world), -pm‘l any of 7en, and the der has pot punished by the iLority, that the wilitary shell arrest him and hold trial? A man charged, if he has not been punished, Leld for trial.” That o man like Pendleton should dare to accuse Grant of disloyalty is the very extreme of em-onmy.' e ‘We insist that the Government shall protect the right of Southern Unionists to mect and elect dele~ gates to their Convention in Philadelphia, in Septems ber, It is said that Attorney-General Herron hag declared that there shall be mo such meeting in Louisiana.
