Fernando Wood has announced himself as
an independent Candidate for Congress from
New York City. he lays down his platform
10 language conveniently vague, and which
may mean almost any thin5. He says;
On these other grave matters, which ar
not defined ia that instrument, | shall favor :
permao ent disposition OF the unsettled ques-
lions affecting the status of the southern states
and people, which shall forever remove ali
sectional or other differences. | want the
principles determined by the war to be speed
lily recognised and contormed to, so that re
may proceed to a serious consideration of the
many other interests too long neglected,
" hlch vitality ahect our prosperity. We have
great national resources yet undeveloIcd,
heavy public debt to hquldaIe, a grevous bur
den OF taxation to lessen, deprecated cur
rency TO redeem, our foreign and domestic
commerce to enlarge, new enterprises 10 open
and encourage, and the yet higher obligation
TO perform OF reaching the position which the
Almighty designed !or US, of being the hrs
among the nations OF the earth III progress

Nothing could be more delightfully."- non
committal than the above declaration of faith.
But we suspect Mr.. Wood has quite de-
cided purpose, II be hasn't very distinct prin-
ciples, In this canvass Alter being kicked
out OF the Philadelphia Convention, he in
tends to show the Democrats and Johnsonites
that he is a positive power In New York
And these same Democrats and Johnsonites,
who snubbed Fernando at Philadelphia, will
now be compelled to support him on bis own,
and not their platform, or see him draw off
enough of their strength to give the election

encouragement, which Southern Legislature
have, to resist the amendment, and the hope
that the fall elections will result in a great
political triumph Of the Johnsonites, the South
srn States would, beyond question, before this
time have acknowled Led both the justice and
necessity of the amendment. Unless Mr..
Johnson and his advisers are factious and revo-
lutionary in their hostility to Congress, the
South will not fail to put proper interpreta'
ton upon the fall elections, and see the hope
lessness of further resistance to the demands
of Congress and we may reasonably expect
that enough Southern States will, before Spring,
ratify the amen dment, to put its final triumph
beyond doubt
The New Orleans Times and the Picayune
of that city advocate the ratification of the
amendment The former paper
and it is one of the ablest if not the most
influential Of the papers in the city --denounces
Mayor Monroe severely. This is evidence
that all that is needed to bring the rejecting
men of the South to their senses, in this work
of reconstructing their governments upon
correct principles, is tie persistent determine
ton Of the North to secure that end. Firm
ness at our " end of the iine,' will make the
other end yield TO our just demands.

The New Orleans Riot.

The New York Tribune mas published the
official report of the military commission ap
pointed to investigate the New Orleans riot
Ii is much too long to print IN The FREEMAN,
giving, as 1t does give. complete history of
the massacre, and review of the testimony
with considerable minuteness of detail. 1t
fully establishes the fact, that the riot was
really occasioned by the local authorities, and
was in part premeditated If not planned by
them, and that Mayor Monroe and his associ-
ate officials are responsible for ths brutal muir
ders of that day. 1t also effectually disposes
OF the charge that the members OF the con-
vention aud the negroes were armed to any
extent, as 1t was unable t. learn that there
were more than a dozen pistols In the hands
of anybody but the mob of police and ex-con-
Tolerate soldiers, while but ore person either
of the police or mob was killed, and he prob
ably by an accidental shot from confederate.
By the light of this report, how disgracefu |
and rufianly appears President johnson g
speech at St. Louis, in which he justfies the
conduct of Monroe and the police and mob,
and denounces, with sardonic ridicule, the poor
union men who then met savage martyrdom
Dr their faith in liberty and equal rights
We are not surprised to learn, we do
through the organs of President johnson, thai
the Tribune had no leave to print this report,
and that those who furnished it to that paper
are to be VISITED with the executive displeasure.
Mr.. j. Johnson would not be likely to visit with
mid Observation-Disclosures he has the power to
deal with them-those who have thus made
haste TO hold up to public execration the au-
thors of the bloody tragedy at New Orleans
a tragedy for which his policy is responsible,
and which ne did not condemn in his harangue
to the crowd at st. Louis.

The Reform school.

pom the outside of this Issue OF tue FREE
NAN, will be found quite large and very
interesting part of the Report of the Com
missiopers OF the State Reform School, re-
speeding the progress of that enterprise for
the past year. This report Is from the pen
of Mr.. Pease, and Is cha acterized by the
vigorous energy Of his mind, and warmed
and rendered unusually interesting by hearty
enthusiasm IN tine work Of the humane
and benevolent institution of which be has
the immediate charge. The value and uses
OF such a School, and the reasons which led
70 the selection OF this present site, are the
topics in the Report which had, in our judy
ment, the most commanding interest at this
time. and a. our limited space compelled Us
10 print only portion of this communication,
we have confined our extracts to those suit
jects. Other subjects and many details not
particularly connected with the general work
Ings OF the institution, are contained In the
Report, which is full and complete, and is a
document OF great interest 10 every one at all
interested In the treatment Of juvenile offend
ers.
There are III present in the Reform School
twelve children, eleven boys and one girl.
The buildings are capable of accommodating
thirty. and undoubtedly their utmost capac-
ity will be, within year or little more, fully
tested. The estimate of the necessary ex-
lenses, above earnings and the products OF the
farm, when the School contains thirty sub
jects is S5OOO,-certainly a small item when
compared with the great benefit the State may
and undoubtedly will derive in the future
from the benehcent change the institution
will work in the character OF It's inmates.

ADMIRAL FARRAGUT's Position DEFINED
The following letter from Admiral Farragut
gives his views as to how far officers of The
Navy should take part in political assem-
blies
New YORK, September "a, 1866,
ll3 EAST THIRTY sixth STREET.
"Sir: Your invitation to be present at ma
tional convention of soldiers and sailors to be
held at PIttsburg, on the 18th instant, has Just
been received. Even if disposed to accept,
the time is too limited; but on principle am,
as an oflcer OF the navy, unwilling to take any
part in political assemblies, and therefore with
thanks 10 yourself for the pleasant tone of
your letter, beg leave to decline the invita-
ton. Very respectfully, your ob,t serv't,
"D. G. FARRAGUr, Admiral,
l.. Edwin Dudley, Esq, Chairman Com nit
tee, &c.'
This is a" touching rebuke to Johnson and
Seward, who insisted that Farragut's parsicipa-
ton in their political excursion was an endorse
ment of their policy. The Admiral might,
doubtless, on the principles of this letter, have
excused himself from that exhibition, on the
ground that the show, all the way from Wash
ington until the party swung round the cir
Gle" to Washington again, was )" political
assembly, but he regarded himself under the
orders of the President, and under obligations
to attend him as an escort. 1t is evident, how
ever, from this letter-as in the case oil Grant
that Farragut has no purpose OF being
counted, at present, in either political party.
Democratic papers should, therefore, drop his
name from its conspicuous place among the
representative men who are Johnsonites.

BUFFALO, June 6.-The Erpress
publishes the names of 50 prisoners,
captured at Fort Erie. who are now
in Jail at Brantford, G. W.
At the Fenian meeting last night.
Mr.. Fitzgereld, who is Fenian Sena-
tor, spoke of the late movement against
Fort Erie, and said it was made by or
der of Gen. Sweeney It was intend
ed to draw the main body of
the enemy from its stronghold, and
it succeeded far better than they ex-
pected. 1t is one of the great stra-
tegic movements chat Sweeney will
duplicate tomorrow to-day He
promised that they would hear the re-
suit OF that strategic movement.
Dispatches received in the city to-
day state that at small meeting held
at Cincinnati, $4,000 was collected to
aid in the work, and that a brigade.
under the command of the rebel Gen
eral Magruder, and Col. O'Dowd was
ready, and would march in less than
forty eight hours for the frontier.
Gen. Sweeney was on the frontier to-
night, and before many hours they
might expect to hear of his having
done something.
A statement is published in the E!c-
press this morning that some 300 left
the city on the train bound eastward,
about 500 at P. NJ, and 800 at a
later hour.
The last mentioned force went off
under the command of Capt. Dona-
hue, who had returned during the
evening from his expedition of night
before from Dunkirk, apparently hay
ing made bOotless excursion.
1t is all humbug about Batavia be-

points in the immediate vicinity.

FROM ROCHESTER,.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, June 6.-The
Fenians held a meeting here last
night, which was largely attended and
quite enthusiastic. Donations in cash
to the amount of $500 were made, be-
sides contributions of arms, accoutre-
ments, stores, &c, A few volunteered
to go to the front and fight. During
the night small detachments of men
left the city for the st. Lawrence re-
gion, the most of them carrying arms.
The Fenian managers here avow
their purpose to fit out each man when
he starts with arms, rather than take
the chances of seizure by the Federal
Government, if the arms are shipped
in quantities. There is little abate-
ment in zeal among the Fenians here.
