The speakers at the | Memphis Convention affirmed that there was 1o hos- tility to Northern men in that city, and professed a sincere acquiescence in the results of the war. Mr. M. C. Gallaway, who was one of the signers of the dis- patch to Cleveland, is well known as the editor of the Avalanche, The Post accuses his paper of having been the main cause of the massacres last May, and denies the assertion that Union men are safe in Memphis: “Many of the most konorable and respectable merchants of this city have had their names held up to the scorn and ridi- cule of the low-down Rebel rabble of this section: been for weeks almost daily notified through the comwns of Mr. Galla- Journal that they covld Lot continue to do business bere, use they had attended Union Republican meetings. Mer- chants have been repeatedly threate with haviog their names piscarded in the columns of Gallaway's journl'if they dared advertise in the * Redicol sheet.” as be calls The Posi.

The N. Y. Times reminds us of *‘ sundry queries addressed to Tug TRIBUNE a few days since,” in the columns of The Times, touching the conditions of Reconstruction, which it deems worthy of our regard. They had not eseaped our attention; but we have no spare hours to devote to satisfying the curiosity of anonymous and irresponsible querists. To ask a question that requires time and thought to frame a fit answer, yet hide your face and name from the person catechized, is & prevalent impertinence which we are disinclined to encourage. The Times favors us wita the following editorial statement and query: “ Congress, at ite last session, refused to pass a bill for the admission of representatives from Southers States, even after those States should adopt the Coustitetional Amendmevt. There were a variety of causes which ccperated to secure its rejection, Some members were ol to imposing any terms as conditions precedent to the admission of representa- tives, Otbers did uot wisk to go before the country under Some were willing to ture would ratify the amend- ment; and otbers wished to insist that the amendment should become part aud parcel of the Constitution. And about thirty or forty members wero for excluding the Southern States untif they would'adopt Negro Suffrage, as well as the Constitu tional Amendment. L - - > - ““What is THEITRIBUNE's views of this snbject? Wil it counsel the admission of representatives from the Southern States, upon their ratification of the Cous itiona) Amend- ment? Will it accept this as a sufficient antee, and as s sufficlent evidence of loyalty on the part of the Southern peoplet” The Tribune's Answer. The Southern Confederacy was based on the corner- stone of a natural, necessary, eternal subordination, socially, industrially, politically, of ** Blacks to ‘Whites.” Ms triumph would, in our view, have re- sulted in the “‘reconstruction” of the Union on the ba- sis of universal andperpetual bondage for the entire Afric-American race. We cannot realize that the permanent bisection and division of our country, upon any conceivable cast-and-west line of demarca- tion, was a moral possibility. As Mr. Lincoln said in his Springfield speech, **It will become all one thing orall the other.” And if the Confederacy had won its independence, State after State north of its original Voundary would, under the guidance of the thence. forth ascendant Democratic party, have knocked humbly at its portals for admission, adopting the Montgomery Constitution, and thus recognizing the right of every slaveholder to work or sell his bond. men, the same as his horses, in any part of the coun- try. “Several of the more northerly States might long have stayed out, or been kept out; but, substantially, the Gonfederacy would have taken not half the coun- try merely, but the whole of it; chaining it all inexor- ably to the car of triumpbant Slavery. And. s the Confoderacy moant simply Slavery, uai- E e versal and perpetual, so we understand the Union, from and after the attack on Sumter, to have symbol- ized and embodied Impartial and Umversal Freedom. That there were many who did not perceiye this proves nomore than does the fact that some do not even yet see it. Their blindness does nof, d can- not, affect the essential truth. And the one remain- ing source of embarrassment, uncertainty, agita- tion, distrust, antagonist aud pe.il, is the inability or stubborn unwillingness of many Americans to realize that Slavery is dead, and that all its incidents and trappings should be buried in its grave. Our platform of restoration—Universal Amnesty, TImpartial Suffrage—waslong ago proclaimed, aud has not been modified. 'We believo it simpler, broader, more humane, more beneficent, than any rival. Aud wa balieve Congress might have secured its adoption last Winter by prescribing and insisting that each Sate which had been in rebellion should bo restored only on condition that it should guarantee irrevocably to allits steadfastly logal inkabitants every right, fran- chise and immunity, with which that Stato should see | fit to invest its citizens who had been implicated in the Rebellion. And we believe this requirement would bave been sustained by the people. But Congress was not prepared to take this gmund. For a variety of reasons, it saw fit to adopt justead the Constititntional Amendment now awaiting ratifi- cation by the States. And our recent State Conven- tion, in its Platform Committee, voted down our dis- tinet affirmation of Jefferson’s doctrine that “every one who fights or pays” should be invested with the Right of Suffrage, and declared instead [over out vote also] that any State now unrepresented in Congreéss which shall ratify the Amendment shall thereapon be admitted to representation in accordance with the provisions of that Amendment. This, therafore, wo understand to be the position of the Republican-Union party of our State—tha; every State lately in rebellion which shall, with reasonable promptitude and in hearty good faith, accept and rati- fy that Amendment, shall theroupon be entitled to immodiate representation in Congress in accordance with its provisions. And, as we believe we can do more for the cause of Impartial Freedom by scting with that party than by bolting from and batting against it, we hold ourselves bound to conform in our action to its professions and virtual pledges. If any of the outlying States shall, during the lifetime of the present Congress, ratify the Amendment as aforesaid, we shall feel bound to advocate the admission there- upon of their loyal representatives to seats in Con- gress. Asto those which shall see fit to staad out beyond the 4th of March next, we shall feel at Uberty to act sccording to the circumstances then existing, and to the riper and clearer convictions which we trast the loyal States and People will moauwhile have attained. And, whether the revolted States shall be sooner or lator restored to their natural relations to the Union, we hold that the signal triumph of Freedom over Slavery in our late struggle requires for its logical and perfect consammation that all our States shall yet recognize and embody in their Constitutions the doctrine tersely expressed by Horace Maynard of Tennessee in these words: “Let our laws and institutions spaak not of White men, not of Red meu, not of Back men, not of men_of any race or complexion: but, like the laws of God, the Ten Command- wents, aud the Lor yer, let them spoak of PEOPLE THE PITTSBURGH CONVENTION. The Army and Navy bave met at Pittsburgh, and with no uncertain tone proclaimed their adhe the principles upon which they fought the w Our s propose to reconstruct the Union grams inform us, what may well Le bel this Convention was the largest and m: that ever assembled in the United States. From the character of the men who compose it, un- usual enthusiasm may be expected. They are not d, that thusiastic downright earnest, gallant, brave men who went into the war with a single purpose, and came out of it bearing that purpose unstained as their banners. Whatever they do has national meaning. The coun- try has no oracle as true as the army, and in Pitts- burgh it is, for the first time since the Rebellion was crushed, reassembled in its representatives Fifteen thousand soldiers and sailors it is estimated are in Pittsburgh in answer to the call. They have turned the city into one vast camp. They came bringing their teuts and banners. Every Corps, even every Division, of the United States Army is represented well, and every flag borne by the dele- gates has been borne triumphantly in battle for the Union. In proper tribute to the mass of Ameri- can soldiers, a private, L. Edwin Dudley, was made Temporary Chairman. ‘ihe announce- ment of Logan as the first choice of the Convention for Permanent Chairman was hailed with cheers, butin his absence, another gallant soldier, Gen. Cox of Ohio, was elected, Of the formal busi- ness of the Convention the delegates promise to make short work., They have refused to allow an address to be prepared, on the ground that their argument was made on the battle-field, and the reso- lutions they will adopt are expected to be | tike the discharge of a battery. The Michigan soldiers bave repudiated Custar and Custarism, and we are proud that a resolution of officers of colored troops, to the effect that all Union soldiers, white or | black, should have equal rights, including that of suf- frage, was received with cheers by the Couvention, ‘Thus the long line of blue moves on, uvbroken as on the battle-field, and still to victory. The desert- ers are not missed; those who tremble in the rear do | not shake the conrage of the heroes in the van. They found the work was not done with the ending of the war, and they have left their homes once more to do it. This Convention is like the charge of cavalry that decides a battle, The nation will echo its words with pride and joy. Look at the names which are on its roll. They are names which came with the news of great battles during the war, familiar to us now as Chancellorsville, a8 Chattanoogs, as Gettysburg. There is no victory, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, with which they are not blended, and they are registered now as then upon the side of the Union and of Freedom. P ———— “WHEN DID 1 EVER DESERT A PRINCIPLE?" Mr. Andrew Johnson delivered a radical speech of the worst kind against President Andrew Johnson in the United States Senate on the 19th day of Degem- ber. There can beno doubt whatever that he then thought that Rebel States were no better than provinces, for he said, with & positive frankness on the subject that has not since been equaled: Suppose Loulslans was uow out of the confederacy (¥nion), Lolding the key to the Gulf, the outlet to the com- merce of the great West, under the doctrine laid down by these Ministern, and practiced by the Congress of the United States, would not_this Government bave the right. M obedi- ence to the great priseiple of self-preservation, and for the fety of our fnstitations, to seize it and pass it under the Jo- risdiotion of the United States, and bold it s a province, sub- Ject to the laws of the United States?

Yet here we have it, in black and white, that Mr. Johnson, quite before the war, when he had best reason to be conservative on State Rights, held tbat the United States had a right to seize South Carolina, Louisiana, Florids, or any other Rebel States, and hold them as provinces subject to the laws of the na- tion. Let every one read this lively record, and then inquige, in yigw of the Prysidents got The NEW-YOKK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1866. ceasitng to ““swing round the circle,” When did Mr. Johuson ever desert a principle? and why should Mr. Stevens be hanged ? e THE POINTS OF THE DAVIS TRIAL=WHY MR. DAVIS HAS NOT BEEN TRIED. Mr. Johuson repeatedly declared, in his recent tour, that he had no power over the trial of Jefferson Davis, and vaguely intimated that the deluy was the fault of the Chief-Justice of the United States. That this .ac- cusation was utterly without foundation we propose to show : First: Tie Chief-Justice has no more to do with the trial of Jef. Davis than any other Justice, except that it happens that the Chief-Justice was allotted or assigned to the Circuit in which Virginia is, to ao- commodate Judge Swayne, who desired to be allotted the Cirenit in which Obio is. Second: The Chief-Justice, when he holds a Court, tries whas cases he happens to find on the docket, if they ara ready for trial. It makes no differonce to politicians. They have no party cause to serve, no | political ambition for themselves. They are the | Lim who the parties are; Ais duty is to administer the law. Third: The Chief Justice bas never inquired, and probably never will inquire, what cases are to como before bim, except in the regular course and way. He neither scoks nor shuns the responsibility of trying Jofferson Davis, or any other man, Fourth: ‘The Chief-Justice has held three terms of the Cirouit Court for the District of Maryland since his appointment, nearly two years ago. These were indictments for treason pending at the first term, and, except in certain cases where the accused individually have been pardoned, they are pending yet. The Government has not thought proper to proceed to trial in auy of these cases. If the Government had de- sired & judicial exposition of the law of treason, it might have been bad from tho Chief-Justice at either of those terms,in April and November, 1865, or in April, 1366, Fifth: Ealy last Spring, Bradley T. Jobnson—a double traitor, if treason consists in levying war against hisown State as well as against the United States—was arrested in Maryland for treason, and was held to bail by the District Judge. Gen. Grant requosted to have him discharged without bail, on the ground that be was mot liable to arrest-or trial, because he had been paroled at the time of the surrender of ‘Lee or Johnston; and the President thereupon orderod the discharge through the Attorney-General, and, on mo- tion of the Dist ict-Attorney, under direction of the Attorney-General, the District Judge directed the discharge. [pon the propriety of this interference by the Executive with the course of regular judicial pro- ceedings, it 14 unnecessary to express au opinion, though it affords abundaft ground for the reflection of thoughtful men. It preventad the expression of a ju- dicial opinion as to the effect of military paroles upon liabilities to punishment for treason and other crimes. Sixth: The Chief-Justice held no Court in Virginia in 1565, because the writ of habeas corpus was suspended, and martial law eunforced within its territory; in his judgment all Courts in a region under martial law wust be quasi military courts, and it was neither right nor proper that the Chief-Justice, or any Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Courtof the United States —the highest tribunal of the Nation, and head of oue of the coordinate departments of the Government— should hold a Court subject to the control or super- vision of the Executive department, exercising the military power. In this judgment, all lawyers of re- spectability, of whatever political opimons, will concur. Seventh: Soon atter the adjournment of the SBupreme Court in April last, the President issued a proclama- mation, the effect of which secmed to the Chief | Justics ta be the abrogation of marsial law and military government, and the restoration of the writ of babeas corpus n a.l thy States except Texas; and we understand he determined thereupon to hold a ‘ Cirouit Court at the eusuing May Term in Virginia; but various Executive orders, inconsistent with the conclusion that military government had ceased, soon followed the proclamation,and led to an apprebension that the construction put upou it was not intended by the President. The Chief-Justice, it is therefore to be presumed, reconsidered his purpose to hold & Circuit Court. Eighth: Desirous, bowever, to omit no duty, the Chief-Justice, it i8 reported, called on the President in April or May last, and requested him to issue 8 | proclamation (of which the Chief-Justice submitted & draft) declaring, in unequivocal terms, that mar- tial law was abrogate | and the writ of habeas corpus | restored in all coses of which the Courts of the United | States had jurisdiction, and in respect to all process issuing from such courts. This was not done. Ninth: Subsequently, however, another proclama- tion was issued, affirming the restoratien of peace throughout the whole country, which has, as yet, been followed by no order asserting the continuance of military government. Under the proclamation, therefore, it seems fair to conclude that martial law and military government are permanently abro- gated and the writ of Habeas Corpus fully restored; and this conclusion warrants the holding of courts by the Chief-Justice and Associate Justices as the law may direct. Tenth: There is no Act of Congress, however, | which authorizes the holding of any Circuit Court in Virginia until the November Term—beginning the fourth Monday in November—unless the Chief-Justice shall order a Speciul Term, as he is autherized to do Ly an Act of the last session. The Chief-Justice would, no doubt, order a Special Term if the District- Attorney and the Attorney-General should represent to him that such a proceeding is needed for the ad- ministration of public just ce. Eleventh: An Act of the last session of Congress changes all the Circuits (¢xcept the first and second, which include the Districts in New-England and New- York), and reduces the number from ten to nine; but it neither makes nor a: thorizes any allotment of the Chief-Justice or Associate-Justices to these new Cir- cuits; and it seems doubtful whether the old allot- ment gives any jurisdiction to hold courts in the Dis- trict which happen to remain in the same Circuits numerically as at the time of that allotment; while it is quite certain that neither the Chief-Justice nor any Associate-Justice con exercise jurisdiction in any Cir- cuit except by allotment or assignment under an Act of Congress. It is a matter of extreme doubt, there- | fore, whether the Chief-Justice can, after all, hold | any court in Virginia until after some further legisla- tion by Congress ma'ing or authorizing allotments to | the new Circuits. Tucelfth: The abs:nce of the Chief-Justice or a Jus- tice of the Supreme Court from any Circuit does not, however, prevent.the holding of Circuit Courts; for the law provides cxpressly that, in the absence of a Justice of the Supreme Court, a Circuit Court may be held by the District Judge. Circuit Courts have, accordingly, been held in all the Circuits within the Rebel States by the District Judges ever since the establishment of the authority of the United States and the appointment of such Judges, These courts, Uuriog military govermnent, were held, of course, subject to'military control and supervision, to which, under the circumstances, Disteict Judges might, per- haps, more properly submit than the Justices of the Supreme Court. Of course, any trial which might have taken place, the Chief-Justice oran Associate Justice being present, might bave taken place, with equal jurisdiction and equal effect, the Chief-Justice or an Associate Justice being absent. Clement C. Clay is urged by The Mobile Gazette a5 the choice of Alabama for U. 8.

Rider, a born Southerner, living near Jackson, La., has seen fit to let a part of Lis land in parcels to Blacks, who agree to give him a specified proportion of the crops. This arraugement is perfectly satisfactory to the parties, but not to their reconstructed White neighbors in Jackson, who recently addressed to Mr. Rider this note: Mr. Ripgp—Sir: Wo bave bio informed that you Are lowing Niggers to squat abous oo your land, or in otber words you Are Rentirg Niggors land. One of JuR Committee told you that you Wold Be Burnt out, But you would not pay=may attention to him. Now, Sir, your gin House is Barnt, for rout- ing Niggers land.

In common with the country, we shall rejoice in the return of such Representatives a3 Stevens, Kelley, Broomall, Williams, Moorhead, Schofield, Covede, Lawrence, O'Neill, Myers, Mercur, Miller, Wilson, and Koontz—an array of able and honest workers, sufficient to maintain the strength of Pennsylvania’s strong delegation. We shall welcome the election of new members ot the character and popularity of Morrall, Archibald, Taylor, Cake, and others. The President’s friends are striving, with a large pressure of patrouage, to impair the success of the ticket in Philadelpbia, particularly in Judge Kelley's district; but, as the Judge's majority is about 4,000, and he has devoted his talents heartily to the canvass, they have great work before them. We see that the Unionists of the State are deter- mined to carry into effect, as far as possible, the State law disfranchising deserters. The Sheritf of Phila- delphia has promulgated the law in full, but the Cop- perhead Sheriff of Bedford County, though notified by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, obstinately refuses to insert it in his proclsmation. A prosecu- tion for misdemeanor will be immediately commenced against him, and a like action will meet the Bedford tactios elsewhere. We take from this assurance that the campaign in Pennsyivania is earnest. INDIANA. Indiana has a Union majority of eight out of her present delegation to Congress, which she will be ut great pains not to lose, and, if possible, to exceed this Fall. Her only Districts that can appear at present doubtful are as follows, with the names of their hold- ors in the present Congress: 1V. Dearborn, Deeatur, &o., (Farqubar's), 66 Usion ma Jority. ‘ VIL Clay, Greene, &c. (Voorhees's), 534 fraudulent Demo. cratic majority. X. Allen, DeKalb, &e., (Defrees's), 580 Union mejority. We hear that the Democerats hope to overcome the 844 Union majority in the IIId District, but they will bave to encounter a strong and popular opponent in Gen. Morton C. Hunter. The Union Republicans of the IVth District bave set out another soldier, Col. Ira 8. Grover, who bids fair to strengthen his ticket against Wm. S. Holman, his Democratic opponent, and a former representative in Congress. This District our opponents hope to capture with the help of the Government, The VIIth District sent Mr. Voorhees for a time to Congress, on a frandulent majority, but his place being contested by Gen. Henry D. Washburn, present can- didate, he was unseated and sent home about the middle of last session. This District is, therefore, to be regarded as Republican, though still debatable. Major William Williams, a Union officer, stands for the Xth District on the Union side, against Robert Lowry, Democrat. Allen County, a portion of this District, which in 1864 gave 2,359 majority for the Democratic ticket, voted 400 majority against itin an election for county officers last October. Thus, there is hope that the District is fertile for a Union harvest, though the Democrats are making every effort the other way. The large increase in the population of Indiana within ten years has been mainly in its Northern dis- tricts, and, as the apportionment for Congress and Legislature has not been changed, it is claimed that the Southern part of the State has an undue represen- tation in both bodies. That section was largely Dem- ocratic at the ontbreak of the war, and though par- tially redeemed by the election of 1864, the Cop- perheads hope to regain it with the aid of Presidential influence. The ground for this hope is the large Southern emigration settled in the Copperbead dis- tricts, But as Indiana has given a standard majority of 20,000 for the Union ticket in the last two or three years, we take heart that she will not go back on ker noble record. There were quite 8 number of the members of our last Assembly who sold themselves to the corrupt “Ring" which misrules and robs our City, and, for base lucre paid into their hands or slily thrust into their pockets, betrayed a sacred trust and conspired to rob an unoffending people who bad a right to their protection. There was much other corrupt legislation last Winter; and the same members were conspicu- ously guilty of this also. We entreat the voters of this State to make careful inquiry, and be sure that every Member who sold his vote last Winter is kept at home this Winter. There is great need of honest legislators at Albany--not a mere majority of this sort, but the whole body. The black sheep are well known: mark and avoid them! We do not think it refreshing to hear how an Ala- bama gentleman talks. Says The Mobile Tribune: “1t is really astonishing how a man born & Virgmia gentleman can go to eating carrion as John Minor _Botts is doing.” There is more of this and worse, from all of which we judge that it is better for Mr. {otta to be A maD thee & wentlompd. v TIE FREEDMEN. - .

ADDRESS OF THE FREEDMEN'S RELIEF ASSOCIATION— APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC—LETTER OF GOV. FEN- TON. To tAE PUBLIG: Aftera year of comparative growth and Yl’unpflil)‘, during which we sent 222 teachers into the South, and employed in our work of relief and education supplics and money to the extent of $39,650 24, we find ourselves now at the commencement of a new ear, with an empty treasury and continuing liabilities—so long [ ou{l work goes on—to the amount of about $5,000 pex month, Under these cireumstances the Board of Trustees have appointed the Rev, Wi, Geo. Hawkins, late our Corre- sponding Secretary, whose long familiarity with our work renders him especially fitted for the duty as special finan- cial Agent, to make an earnest appeal to the public for meaus to prosecute our work. To those interested in this great work of social, moral and industrial elevation in the midst of a people strug- gling for o better life, especially to those who have bithe: supported us, the question now comes: * Shall the bless- ing inaugurated, aud thus far maintained by your bewefi- cence, continue *” ‘This you alone can determine.
