tdeenfd GAMEttL Inc errors OF Luis posi-" |
lon, as affecting the principle involved, will
'e seen at glance, but in the expediency
lew it is altogett er altered.
The visit Of Secretary Cameron and A5Ju-
azt Gtneral Thomas -to.the headquarters OF
Ger. Fremont has an uIquestionable connec-
tlcn With the proposed removal of the latter.
Tie Secretary and his comparioo, although
,uen to free DISCUSSION Of the merits and de-
nIits Of Frenont's acts since his arrival in
It Lorie, maintained during their short stay
n the city studied Silence as to their Own
:plrions or conclusions. Even suspicion Of
he object Of the visit could not BE- formed
rem anything said CT dcac. Il could not
AVE bsen to Investigate any contracts or jobs,
AS was suggested BY a Washington corres-
CT Adjutant Thomas took any measures look
ing to such an end. The visit will, undoubtr
edly, have large influence upon the decision
Ct the question, and Of course the result Of 1t
is looked for with great interest," A story has |
been started that Gen. Harney :as been sum-
mored to Washington to have a conference |
with the Cabinet, preliminary to bsirg restor-
ed to the command Of the Department. This |
is hardly possible. A more plausible theory
ef the object Of Gen Herney's visit to Wash
irgton is that he is to be placed in command
Ct the caya11y in Gen. McClellan's army, Gen.
Hazne9 being distinguished in the service as
tie finest cavalry officer in the United States
Army.
The State Convention is now in session at
the Mercantile Library Hail. It is an open
QUESTION what the Convention will do beside
pcftporirg the election fer Governor AID
members Of TIE Legislature heretofore or
dered to be held in November. Several prop
csitions have been offered which look to the
aesumption Of full Legislative powers by the
Convention. Among those in attendance is
Prince L. Hudgins, OF Nodoway county, who
weB urder aIrsst recently at st. Joseph, for
die1oyalty, and was recently exchanged for
Col Marshall Of the First Illinois Cavalry,
Here is another instance of. the tendet-toed
character Of this war. Hudgins ia as guilty
1ow as Ee Was when under arrest st St Joseph
He has not pufgtd himself Of one drop Of
treason, and yet he is permitted to come to
St. Louis and roam about the State Just as If
he we're as lc7al IS the purest patriot In the
land. It Is true he has been exchanged, but Is
anybody foolish enough to suppose that Col.
Marshall could mingle with the Confederate
army frpm when be has escaped, 50 Hudgins
docs amorg his Loyal uefgnpo1s. Another In
<terestiEg member Of this Convention who de-
serves Incarceration, Is Major uriei Wright,
who made speech on saturday wherein ne
denounced the Administration and spoke Of
/ Gen. Fremont as a military satrap," with
other epithets piled upon each other with un-
BuIrassed vclubllity, which would consign
my newspaper that dared to print 1t as edito
rial TO the custody Of the police. Spoken in
the presence Of that Convention it's effect was
ten times worze than If scattered in 3 ne1spa-
