J. 5, p
So writes the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tri6uhe-but the pugnacious Greeley oh
iectS He prefers defamation and SANDER suits, or
even street-fghts to the bloody <ode Of honor. He
thinks that Northern men, by arming themselves,
will be privileged to abuse Southern men with i'm
punity-and that is the line of conduct which he
cOmmcnds He will be disappointed. The liberty
of speech involves the liberty of the bludgeon and
it he chooses to exercise the first to the injury of
Others, the last will be certainly exercised to the de-
triment of his person.
We believe it would contribute to the general inn
provement of manners and morals in Congress, if
the code of honor rgdly observed all round.
Southern members would derive cutie as much be-
nedt from it Northern members. 1t would be
better for the public in every respect that half
dozen or SO members OF congress Shoulu, every year
two lose their lives in quiet and we-ordered du
els than that the dignity and responsibility of the
Republic should be destroyed by the prevalence of
black guardism and its concomitant street-fghts.-
We do not place very high estimate upon members
of COngress-taking them in the aggregate we do
not know a county in the State in which $50 men,
in all respects reputable and worthy could not be
found Those, therefore, who should disappear from
tn of action by the process indicated, might
easily be replaced-and probably by better mate
riais Certainly in the course of time, by those
who would be more chary of insulting others, and
who would be more inclined TO a decent and courte-
Gus department towards their associates.
We are aware OF the repugnance of religion to
such views; but until religion has provided an ef-
iective remedy for the evils OF the day, by purifying
the heart and subvertng the dominion of passion,
we must 10 the bes, We under the circumstances

1t was four weeks yesterday, since there was rain
enough in Richmond to lay the dust.
We hear that the drought has been quite general
throughout lower Virginia-and that the wheat and
and cat crops have suffered severely from it The
wheat ON uplsnd-two-thirds of the crop-and oats
generally must be very short

The Cincinnati Convention.

We copy letters from New York papers giving
account OF the early proceedings of this body.
The impression seems TO be more and more general,
that Mr.. Buchanan's prospects are improving, and
we had the report the streets yesterday that his
nomination was reduced TO certainty The obser-
vatons of the correspondent Of the Tribune on this
subject will arrest the attention of the Southern
der Buchanan is supported by the freesoiiish sec
ton Of the Democracy and his success will be re-
garicd n the triumph of the North over the South.
Bcnton's declaring himself for Buchanan has very
ugly look, and would seem to argue that the South
is on the eve of being swinded again. But the truth
is we expect little else under any contingency and
perhaps the operation had xell be performed in
the name of Buchanan in that of another.
Looking to the Union generally, and to its present
condition, the result of four years Democratic rule
leaves but small margin Tor another insalment of the
