A False Alarm,

OUG Democratic contemporary has leader this
morning. double-leaded, and meant TO be sensa-
tional, but, after all, only powerful weak" as
they say out West 1t has picked up a stray
paragraph in the Philadelphia correspondence
OF conservative New York iournal-written,
as likely as not in the Office of our contempo
rary itself-containing lot OF bugaboo non
sense about the assembling of tine Conservative
Convention in this city.
We beg our contemporary to be reassured.
The conservatives have just broken up Union
convention in New Orleans, and murdered some
OF its members; but the Union men of Phila-
dephia will not follow that bad example The
right of Stree assemblage," although always
denied us at the South, and often at the North
while the sham Democracy bore rule, is still
sacred one, which we desire TO see preserved to
all men and TO all parties.
We have no doubt the August Convention will
tell powerfully in favor of the Union cause The
WOODS and VALLANDlGHAMs, and that class of
politicians, can hardly get together, and make
speeches and pass resolutions, without strength
ening the tone of public feeling in opposition to
their schemes. The outspoken sentiments of
this class of men--by the very extremity of their
tanatlcIsm and disloyalty- strengthened us
throughout the whole course of the war; and,
we doubt not, will do so still. Let them Assem-.
BILE then, by all MEANS and let them again
declare the war a failure" if they choose-let
them rec Il their old speeches against coercion
and emancipation-let them even abuse, as of
old, our great martyr, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, If
they desre-let them say what they choose, for
the more truly they speak out the sentiments OF
their hearts the more powerful Will be the reac
ton IN favor of the Union cause.

A Prudent Speech.

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL w. 7. SHERMAN is a
shrewd man in every respect. Witness the fol-
lowing little speech that he made in Washington
last evening, in response to large crowd that
had assembled outside his hotel:-
"GeDtlemen:-I have no doubt this serenade
is intended for me. therefore thank you for
the compliment. | am a stranger here, and
intend leaving in the morning. II you want to
either at st. Louis or on the Plains. / shall
always be happy 10 see any of you. don't
intend making speech. because IthlRk the less
a man says IN Washington The better tor HIM. As
have no better friend than myself, | will say
good night"

Fncts winch Demand . Theory.


How do those theorists who maintain that the
Rebel states remained politically in the Union
despite their secession, and lost none Of their
rights or functiors by the Rebellion. reconcile
their theory with such facts as are disclosed in
the following telegramsY-
GALVESTON, July 30.--Acting State Judge BELL
has been instructed from washington 20 CON
EnUc ne Provisional GoueTa1nedt tM tWthPr
orders, and to notify the President Immediately
on the assembling oil the S,ate hg hhegls,ature'
HoUsToN, Texas, July 3l.-Despatches from
Austin state that J. II. BELL, Secretary Of State,
has been notified by the PRESIDENT that the
Legislature ScH be permitted 10 assemble without
Governor THRoCKMoRToN will be inaugurated
soon after.
How did Texas lose her State Government
and come to be put under a provisional Govern
ment?n How does it happen that as a State in
the Union" the President has anything to say
about Legislature being "prm&ed to assem-
ble?" Aud il Texas is and has been all the time
politically in tho Union, who, for the past
eighteen months, or since the overthrow OF the
Rebellion, has had the right to appoint Senators
in Congress from that State? Has the Provi-
sional Government created by the Presl-
dent possessed that right? If not, ooho
has? How can that be State ''in the Union"
which has no government by the people, but
whose Government is one imposed upon it by
the Federal Executive?
But if Texas by the Rebellion lost her status
in the Union, lost her State organization so
that military government from April, 1865, to
August, 1866, was right and proper, then how is
she to get back into the Union, except through
the action of Congress? If for so long time
she has not only rightfully been kept out of the
Union, but even deprived of selGgovernment
what power except the people of the United
States, acting through their representatives, is
now competent to say that she shall again be
received into the Union?

American Horse.Racing.

WE are told that hereafter the races at Saratoga
are to be prohibited, as the proprietoTs of the
large hotels consider them injurious to the re-
putatlon of The place. So lar as the racing of
two fine specimens of horse-hesh is concerned,
we suppose that all will agree with us that there
can be no possible objection to a display of
equestrian beauty. The examination of any
perfect object in the animal kingdom not only
does no harm, but is of positive benefit; and the
assemblage of all the finest blooded racers
together would give our citizens an opportunity
OF admiIIng what is incomparably the finest
Of all the brute creation. Leaving all
questions AS to the intrinsic good or evil of
the custom out OF the question, we think
that, viewed in the light OF expedieucy
the action OF the Saratoga proprictors is good
one. The Springs have heretofore maintained a
reputation as the fashionable resort of the
country. The class of visitors who frequent
them are the best OF our society, and it Is sup
posed that only the elite attend. Although this
fact is merely suppositon, yet the name of
SaratoGa has always been respectable. If, then,
these races be made feature, an entirely new
class of people will go to attend them: and, as a
matter Of consequence, the present frequenters
will di-continue their visits. In America, at
tending horse-races has not yet proved to be
any hing but disreputable. To them resort gam.
blers and their associates, who monopolize the
turf and make what in England is legitimate
sport degenerate into almost crime.
1t was but few years since when fast
young man, going rapidly to the bad, was de-
nominated as Que who "drinks, CANDLES, and
attends horseraces." If, therefore, Saratoga
would protect herself from an inundation of the
lowest classes of our community tits only proper
that she should prevent the continuance of the
races, We earnestly wish that the turf might
be regenerated, and placed once more among
the allowable recreations of the day; but we
consider II a dangerous thing for SARATOGA to
risk her reputation in seeking to be the first to
attempt 10 tdrn the tide.

Intemperate Discussion.

TIE affray last night in the southern past OF the
city, which grew out Of heated political dis
cussion, resulting in the violent death of one of
the persons concerned, should be warning to
men Of all parties. We are entering upon very
active political campaign, and 1t Dehooves every
good citizen to con6ne his political discussions
within the bounds of prudence and good sense.
Men who cannot talk upon politics without get
ting into row over it, had better condne their
conversation to other and less exciting topics
Violence of all kinds should be irOwned down
by all parties.

The New York Herald this morning says:-
"Bloney remains abundant, and the general rate
of loans to the Stock EXCHANGE is four per cent.
with exceptions at five. There is very little
doing in the discount line, owing to the limited
offering OF good commercial paper. That OF the
first class is still quoted al 506s per cent. The
Western money markets are extremely easy-a
consequence of the general stagnauon OF busi-
