MES. Brooklyn was exempt from the opera
ton of the new law because it was presumed
that her fremen were well behaved, orderly
and lamb-like gentlemen, who could never
be tempted into breaking the peace. Recent
events have shown that this was mistaken
idea, and it is now evident that the law ought
to be extended to Brooklyn, unless the deni-
zens of Long Island are to be subjected to the
guerilla assaults of the volunteer fremen on
every festive occasion.
MONSIEUR T0HsoN CONE AGAIM-That mys-
FERROUS rebel emissary and Tribune Canadian
correspondent, Conoyer, alias Wallace, wss
again before the military court at Washington
yesterday, with another cOck-and-bull story.
We had supposed there were two or three of
these extraordinary Conovers; but it appears
there is only one-frst going from Canada to
Washington 10 tell all that he knows Of his
rebel Canadian associates. then posting back
to them to put In counter affidavit, and then
back again TO Washington to mako it all right
once more IN th.A, quarter. We would now
advise the friends in the Tribune Office of this
remarkable man Conovcr to stop him. If he
should make another trip TO Canada there is
no telling what ex-senator Westcott may do;
for he is US terrible and bloody-minded in his
Massa Greeley himself.
SOUTHERN CorrON.-All the trade restrictions
Of the war having been removed from the late
rcbellous States, including Arkansas, Western
Louisiana and Texas, We may soon expect large
arrivals Of cotton on the seabosrd on route for
England. There are probably now as many as
two millions of bales of cotton scattered about
in holes and corners throughout the South, and
those who have it to sell, and those who are
seeking to buy, should assist each other in
bringing it out; and, for the relief Of the South
ern people, the government, in every available
way, should assist them in getting their cotton
to market, and every other staple of Southern
produce they may have to exchange for bread
and clothing. The necessities Of the suffering
Southern people are urgent and call for imme-
diate relief Thousands of those people are
furnishing while the means of relief are all
around them, needing only purchasers and
bread and clothing in exchange.
MASSACHUSETTS AND THE NE0Ro SUFFRAGE
QUrsIIoN.-Thc Massachusetts radicals are
clamorous for universal negro suffrage in the
rebel States as essential to their reorganiza-
ton on loyal platform. Suppose that Presi-
dent Johnson comedies this point, and shall
then propose, for the satisfaction Of Massachu-
sets, to apply her own law of suffrage to the
rebel States, how will that work. The right of
suffrage in Massachusetts, being restricted to
male citizens over twenty years Of age who can
read and write, under this system in the rebel
States nearly all the blacks would be excluded
and about one-seventh of the whites, most of
them loyal men. How will this answer the radi-
Gals Of Faneuil HALF We think that Brother
Beecher was right in suggesting that before
they can justly undertake to instruct President
johnson upon the subject of the elective fran
chise in South Carolina they must practice
what they preach In Massachusetts,.
KENTUCKY AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MEr.-The Union party in Kentucky are
making vigorous campaign-in view Of the
coming August election in that State--ia favor
Of the amendment Of the federal constitution
abolishing slavery. From oil appearances they
will secure the Legislature and the ratification.
The vote Of Kentucky, however, has ceased to
DO necessary to incorporate the amendment in
question into the supreme law of the land,
President Johnson having notified the South
Carolinans that declaration Of the abolition
of slavery on the part Of that State and the
ratification Of said constitutional amendment
must precedc her restoration to the federal
Congress. If Kcntucky, therefore, shall fail to
make up her mind this season that slavery is
really dead, sho may have the fact impressed
upon her as with hot iron by the vote o
! South Carolina establishing the decree as par
and parcel Of tho constitution OF the United
