LIEUT.. Colonel James ID. Nc Bride attac-
ked Gen. Sol Meredith with loaded whip
in the hall Of the Metropolitan Hotel,
Washington, on the evening of the 10Th.
The General, though entirely unarmed, sent
the young man off with bloody nose, black
eyes, and battered countenance. The
cause of the assault dates back to the time
when Gen. Meredith commanded the District
of Paducah.

WANT To BE HELD. Prentice says that
the anti-amendment people seem terribly
apprehensive, that, unless restrained by the
Constitution, they will inevitably marry
niggers. We have all heard of that noisy
fellow, who, getting in quarrel, cried out
to those around him, 'Hold me, gentlemen,
or shall strike him. Each anti.amend-

stand off and see fair play.-E:cchonye.

A convention of the colored citizens Of
Indiana, comprising about $50 delegates,
representing most of the counties in the
State, is now in session at Indianapolis
The object of this timely gathering is the
elevation and the enlightenment of the
colored people, freemen and freedmen
within our national limits, and especially
to take such steps as may be proper to OBJ
tain the right of suffrage for the colored
citizens of Indiana, and the Southern
freedmen. The Convention is a dignifed
and decorOus body, and goes about its bus
mess with as much practical sense, to say
the least, as most State Conventions. It
is presided over by N. S. Landlord, of In
dianapolis, and has been addressed by J..
N. LangstOn, Esq., and others.

The Sea Islands and Their Inhabi
rantS

General Cox's segregation theory, which
undertook to avoid the "inersdicable antag-
onism between the races, by placing the
blacks by themselves, and giving them ex-
elusive political rights in the section set
apart for them, was, as the observing
reader has doubtless marked, nothing but
an enlargement and development of Gen
eral Sherman's Sea Island project, and the
resemblance was so manifest that many
people referred the two schemes to the
same originating brain. General Sherman,
it will be remembered, placed the freed
men of Georgia and South Carolina, who
focked to him for protection, upon the Sea
islands on the coast of those States, and
allowed them, under military supervision,
to conduct their own affairs, make their
own regulations, raise their own cotton,
and establish, in fact, a republic IN Petto.
This arrangement has been broken up by
Presidential order, and in giving this
order the President has given in
his testimony in direct opposition
TO the theories of General Cox.
He was petitioned, when the order
restoring these lands to their old owners
was announced, to authorize the removal
of the freedmen to the public lands of
Florida, but declined to do so, giving as
his principal reason that it would be for
the disadvantage of the freedmen to be
~coIonized separately from the whites. He
expresses no fear of that wal of races
which General Cox seems to regard as in
evitable if the freedmen live alongside
of their former masters, but on the other
hand seems to regard it as a matter of mu-
tual advantage that they should associate
again. The testimony of the President, as
a Southern man, familiar with the habit
and tendency of the Southern mind, is of
especial value, and, while we condemn the
recession of the Sea Islands to their first
owners, we are glad that the President has
taken occasion to bear his testimony
the theory of natural antipathy
between the races.

The Rattle at Manassas.

~ AAeAAAeNSsNSs
A Southern correspondent of the Gin.
cinnati Commercial makes the following
statement:
1t may not be generally known to the
public-at least l do notremember to have
seen any such statement-that JEFF. Davis
gave positive orders to Beauregard not to
pursue u troops after the battle of
Manassas.
Early in the morning, when it became
known in Richmond that a battle was to
take place, Davis took a special train and
reached the field towards the close of the
afternoon, just as the battle was about
ended. Though Johnston was present
and ranked Beauregard, the latter still
retained command. Davis immediately
sought him out, and learned from him the
situation of affairs. Beauregard represent
ed to him the completeness of their vic
tory, and urgently requested permission
to pursue, and occupy Washington,
which they believed they could easily do.
Davis positively refused his consent, say
ing that it was not their policy then TO
conduct an offensive campaign, and that
the occupation of Washington did not
form a part of his programme. The wis
dom of Davis course few will sdoubt, and
his subsequent invasive campaigns conclu-
sively demonstrate it.
1t will not be forgotten that the publ
cation of Beauregard's report of that bat
tie was for a long time delayed; and
that, when it finally appeared, itcontained
only a lengthy detail of strictly military
movements. l am, informed, upon high
authority, that the report, as he wrote It.
and a copy of which he still retains for
historical uses, contained an exposition of
general policy he proposed to follow,
and some structures upon Davis interfer-
1t was this Objectionable portion
hat delayed the publication; and it was
'nly when this was expurgated that this
'eport was allowed to appear.

Herschel V. johnson, of Georgia, who
was ON the ticket with Douglas in 1860, as
candidate for Vice President, was on
Tuesday elected President of the Georgia
Reconstruction Convention by e vote of
245 to "a for Charles H. jenkins.
One of the former proprietors and edi-
tors of the Cincinnati Enquirer, H. H.
Robinson, has purchased the Dayton En-
PirG which he proposes to improve in its
artistic appearance. Nobody expects he
will change its politics 70. the better.
The contest III the Sixth Congressional
District of Massachusetts,, between Gen
eral Banks and his uncle, the Rev. Mr..
Greenwood, the opposing candidate, had
its parallel some years since, when the Rev.
DR.. Breckenridge was a political rival of
his nephew, the traitor rebel general. In
that case the nephew was successful, as
the nephew will be now. In both cases
the uncle is a clergyman and the nephew
a lawyer.
In his charge to the Grand Jury Of the
United States District Court, at Nashville,
last week, Judge Trigg remarked; "There
are now no longer any rebels. Not a sin
gle one is to be found within the broad
limits of the American Union" 1t is q
great pity President johnson has not
made this profound discovery. 1t would
save him infinite trouble in the pardon
business.
The notorious c. Chauncey Burr, the
original New Jersey secessionist, is on the
stump in that State for the Democratic
ticket. General Fitzpatrick having charg-
ed that Burr was in favor of secession.
Burr calls it an infamous falsehood, where
upon several gentlemen of reputation and
standing came out in a card, charging
hat Burr had made a speech, which they
listened to, and that he argued in it in ia.
vor of the right of a State to secede; also
that the government of our fathers had
been o~verthrown and a despotism estab.
lished on its ruins.
Election returns from fifty-six %countie,
in Iowa give Stone a majority of 1850
a gain of l,15O over Dillon's majority FOL
Judge in 1863, but a loss of 1890 from
Lincoln's majority in 1864. Forty-on,
counties, casting about one-tenth of tn,
State, remain to be heard from. They
gave Lincoln 1854 majority, and are
therefore, likely to increase Stones major
ity to at least $4,000. The Legislator,
will stand about as follows Senate-Re
publican, 43i Opposition, 5. House-Re
publican, 49, Opposition, Is. The sui
frage amendment has been adopted by
large majority. The Maine Law is sus
tanned, and will, therefore, be enforced, a
before.

The Boston Transcript says that the
Rev. Henry Giles health will prevent his
reading his lectures before lyceums and
private circles during the present season,
and hat Mrs. Giles, a lady of talent, edu-
cation, and general literary accomplish
ments, will take his place. She will read
her husbands lectures, and we believe that
his large thoughts, generous sentiments,
and burning words will lose none of their
power as uttered from her lips. Mr.. Giles's

that Mrs. Beecher will this winter repre-
sent her husband, by reading lectures
which he does not expect to be able topro-
nounce. This is likely to prove a peculiar
arrangement.

The Close Of the EpiscopaI ConveDtio,

Inc close OF N Episcopal Convention
A special despatch from Philadelphia
to the Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday
morning says, Gpropos of the Episcopal
Convention:
The Convention has closed its labor:
and adjourned. Its last iunkeyism is a
most characteristic one. The churchmen
who had not a word to say to the Al.
mighty on the subject of the end of the
rebellion, are equally dumb as regards the
churches of the United States, and there
will be no pastoral letter-an omission
everywhere likely to be the subject of pain
and chagrin. The copperheads will not
allow anything to be said that shall be
distasteful to the southern churches, and
the loyal few resist the issue of a docu-
ment in which no mention shall be made
Of the events Of the past four years; so
that now, for the first time the House of
Bishops a V no word to say to the people
of their lOcks. 1t has caused an almost
universal expression of sadness to rest
upon the close of the Convention, which
far better had never met at all, than to
have come together in so important an
era of the national history and stood as
rellSlous mutes and eunuchs, preferring
Il blank record than one that shall declare
the restoration of the country is Il cause
for religious rejoicing.
1t is understood that Bishop Hopkins
wrote a pastoral letter, in which he was
particularly careful to refer to no national
event; that this was rejected and one
from Bishop McIlvaine read in its turn,
which declared that it was to be a perpet-
ual theme for sacred rejoicing among the
Churches, that the country is saved and
slavery dead. This wasinstantly rejected.
1t will, however, be published informally
as a pamphlet, signed by numerous Bis6-
ops, and is the best that can be done now.
though only a substitute, and a jury-mast
instead of a standard, that should be set
up mathematical of the loyalty of the
Church. The Philadelphians in the Con-
vention are sound TO the core and are in
tensely indignant that a rebel camp has
heen pitched in that loyal city.

EDITOR LEADER-The political amuse-
ment of the time is to endorse President
johnson. The following facts fairly re-
present his policy: A Mr.. Humphreys Of
Mississippi enters the Confederate army
and during a four years wal does his best
to defeat the armies of the Union and
destroy the nation. He becomes a Gen
eral, and in that capacity leads Confederate
troops in marches and assaults upon Union
soldiers. When the war is over he re-
turns to Mississippi, offers himself as a
candidate for Governor and is elected.
The President makes haste to pardon him
sending the pardon by telegraph. He
is 10Y Governor of the ere organized
State of Mississippi. Seventy-seven
thousand black men from the Mississippi
Valley (says the Adjutant-Ge General of the
United States) enter the Union army so
soon as the Government will consent to
take them. They serve with credit to
themselves and our arms throughout the
war; they are mustered out, they go
home, and in the "re-organized State are
