NEW YORK, August 30-The Ferald's
Richmond correspondent says the people
of that city on Tuesday held their so
called Union meeting, for which they
had been some time previous making ex-
tensive preparations. The National flag
tioated over the rostrum, and the ears OF
the reformed rebels present were greet
ed with the strains of Yankee Doodle
and the star spangled banner, SO long ig-
nOred by them All the speakers were
men who had six months ago been prom
inent supporters of the JEFF Davis Con
federacy. The resolutions adopted ex-
press Indignation at the suspicious OH the
part Of Northern people and journals
that the recanting secessionists are not
sincere in taking the oath of allegiance,
pronounce such imputations utterly
groundless and false, profess the utmost
attachment to the National Government
and acquiescence in the results of the
war, including the abolition of slavery,
pledge confidence in and the greatest re-
spect for President Johnson and Gov.
Peirpoint, and recommend that similar
meetings be held throughout the State.

(By Union Line.l

NEW YORK, August 3l.-It appears that
bands of rebel guerrillas, bandits and
thieves, still manage to keep up some
sort of organization in Mississippi.
The Heralds Vicksburg correspondent
reports the capture of the steamer Keota
by a party of these outlaws, who robbed
the officers and crew. and did not leave
till they secured everything portable on
board which they desired
In ordor to put stop to lawlessness
in the State, Provisional Governor Shar-
key has by proclamation called for the
formation in each county of at least one
company OF volunteer cavalry and one
company of infantry. Cotton stealing by
vagrant negroes is said to be very preva-
lent now in Vicksburg.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe cores
pondent says there are no new develop
ments regarding either jeff Davis or Mr..
Clay or Mitchell. Each still lives at the
expense of Uncle Sam, and lives we'll
Each occupies the same casemate allotted
him on his entry here. Each daily reads
the newspapers and other reading mat
ter allowed him by recent orders and
smokes his pipe, and that with agreeable
relish. Each takes his daily hours walk,
and while enjoying good health lives in
the expectancy and hope of soon being
tried and learning his fate. Seeing in the
papers an extract from letter of jeff
Davis to Mr. Gillet, one of his counsel,
may give some an impression that he is
allowed freedom in writing letters, whicn
is not the case. He has grumbled good
deal on this score, but the grumbling has
done no good. AS to his trial the inn
p .ession prevails here that it will take
directly after, the investigation is con-
cluded in the case of Capt. Wirz. Where
he will be tried is less settled question

General Grants Right Hand.

We see it stated in the papers that General
Grants right hand was SO badly swollen BY
the time ne reached Buffalo, that he had to do
his shaking with the left. If this report is
true, we know how bis right hand became dis
ahled, and an explanation of the cause will re-
veal another of his traits of character, which
will not fail to greatly impress the public. fgs
During the Generals Overwhelming recep-
ton at the Aster House, in this city, tall,
athletic man, who came in turn, after gripping
his hand firmly, commenced wrenching il till
the elbow turned painfully in the socket Per-
ceiying the fellows object, the General, who
has himself q good grippe, suddenly twisted the
-rufianly hand hack, and looking for an instant
steadily into its owners eye, contented himself
with throwing it of, and with merely saying,
IN an undertone, which was not heard even by
member Of his staff You internal rascal, I
ought to knock you down !" He then released
him, and the villain, glad to be let off in this
way, huriedly slid through the crowd. The
forbearance of Gen. Grant, IN enduring this
outrage, his bear mention ofwhich would have
subjected the aggressor to have been torn to
pieces. Is indicative Of great magnaninfity and
force Of character.

with the acceptance of their recent legislation,
including the amendments to the Constitution
emancipating all negro slaves; and with the
right on the part of the Federal Congress to
legislate on the subject OF the relations be-
tween the white and black populations in each
State. Such is, as understand, the effects of
the amendment to the Constitution which has
been adopted by the Congress Of the United
StateG .l M JEFFERSON DAVIS.
This was closely followed by mass meet
ings in the capital and elsewhere.
How strange it ia that all these bloody
minded men, who advocated the black
flag and no quarters upon our street COR

and, with all this hate Of Yankees, never

Mr.. Stephens came home, with but 9
new cause of sorrow, and those who said
he talked of coming home to make war
speeches and denounce the terms offered
simply lied. Before Mr.. Lncolns death
he thought he was doing favor to him
not to include that offer of four hundred
millions in gold for the Southern slaves in
the published report, for it would be used
to the injury Of Mr.. Lincoln by those Of his
enemies who would talk about taxation
and the debt. 9aa0ia o,-
Mr.. Stephens has frequently expressed
no apprehensions, should the fortunes of
war throw him into the hands of Mr.. Lin
coin, and said he would not get out of the
way of raid were it not for appearances,
on account of the Office he held. He
spoke of Mr.. Lincoln as an old friend, who
had generally voted with him in Congress,
and who had good heart and fine mind,
and was undoubtedly honest.
This much we have written in vindica-
ton of our assertion when the terms were
offered that they "were not dishonorable. y
We so remarked at the time the confer
ence ended, and for so doing was scoffed
at and reviled by the administration press
of the South, who endeavored to excite
the public against us by raising the mad
dog cries Of reconstructionist (" " enemy
to the Southern cause" etc.
We have also felt it duty to give Mr..
Stephens's statement to the public as evi-
dence that when master of his own acts
he hid no part of the truth from those who
asked him tor it. H e

Gen. FRANK BLAIR, in his speech in st.
Louis on the 22d, heartily sustained the
Presidents plan of reconstruction. On
the question OF suffrage be said
Every State in the Union has, heretofore.
without question from any quarter. decided
who should exercise the right of suffrage
within its borders. The States always com
trolled that question. Rhode Island excludes
large part of its foreign population by prop.
erty qualification. An Irishmau or German.
no matter what his other qualifications. cannot
vote unless he owns certain amount of real
estate in Rhode Island-and thew womb have
TO cut it up very small to afford any large yot-

ercise the franchise in the State of Rhode Il
land and Providence Plantations. Who has ever
questioned the right of Rhode Island. small
as she is, or any other State, to maintain its re-
strictions upon the elective franchise. But now
some men say the revolted States, those States
that have been in rebellion, where certain men
have usurped power, that said States subjected
themselves to certain condition of fnferiori-
ty and that they cannot now return to the I'm
ion except the Congress of the United States
first prescribe who shall be electors in those
States. Andrew johnson has put his foot on
that proposition (cheers), and Andrew John
son was compelled to put his foot upon 1t. If
he was an honest man. If he believes In the
Constitution of the United States which he
swore to execute when he took the oath of
office, he must put his foot on any such propo-
sitiOn.
