Of neutrality should be extended and the
privileges and powers of States at war, d.
minished the law of 1918 It win be
remembered that all concerned in fit
ting ont any vessel. with intent that
such vessels shall be engaged in
war against, when we are at
peace, shall be find not more than ten thou
sand dollars and imprisoned not more than
three years. Another part Of the act re
qulres that owners and consignees of armed
vessels shall enter into heavy bonds to keep
the peace, that collectors shall detain vessels
on the least suspicion, and makes citizens Of
the United States responsible for the acts Of
lorelgn subjects who are beyond the iurisdic-
ton OF the United States.
The report proposes the modification Of
tne provisions whose effect is to perpetuate
the subjugation of States without a naval
lorce, with the will Of a dominant maritime
nation. The attempt of Spain on the South
ern Republics, and more recently the bonn
parchment Of Valparaiso, are cases in which
disregard of strict neutrality obligations
would have been beneficial to the world.
1t Is not proposed that the notifications
OF our statutes shall absolve Great Britain
from our claims upon her The United
States have carried ont in good faith their
too stringent neutrality laws Great Britain
has not respected her own less exaeting obi
cations.
The report concludes with an allusion to
the recent neutrality in the case Of the Fe-
mans, and does not disguise the strong SYM
pathy of America with all suffering nation
alities. It declares in behalf Of Congress
and the American people that England owes
PREPARATION to Ireland. -s

New YORK, July 13.-MY DEAR SIR:
I have received the call signed by yourself
and others for National Union Conven-
ton in Philadelphia on the 18th of August.
| concur in its propositions, its reasonings,
and its objects, and will do all in my power
to carry them ont. | long since expressed
the opinion that the Southern States were
entitled to their representation in Congress;
that their exclusion was a violation of good
faith and ofthe obligations Of the Constitu-
ton, and that persistence in such policy
must lead to consequences most disastrous to
the peace and prosperity of the country.
These and other considerations connected
with the present unsatisfactory relations of
the States to the Federal Government and b
each other render most timely and proper
such meeting as you have recommended to
the patriotic and rejecting men of the Union
to consult together for the general welfare.
/ am truly yours, JOHN A. DIX.
Hon. JAMES r. DOoLITTLE.

NEUTRALITY Ann TNDEmNITY.

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
submitted report on Wednesday, favoring
the repeal Of the neutrality laws and the
enactment Of others in conformity with the
laws Of nations and the practice of other
powers towards ourselves. 1t claims pay
ment from Great Britain for property de-
stroyed by privateers fitted out from British
ports, and says while We prefer peace to Sar,
and find our advantage in maintaining peace
as against war, is no longer from necessity.
If we are compelled to choose between the
sacrifice of our rights and an appeal to the
arbitration of war, there can be no doubt
about the decision. We can no longer
stand bail for the pea,e Of the world, we
have stood good for other nations long
enough.
1t accuses ENGLAND of countenancing the
rebellion, and speak of the suppression of
the Fenian invasbn of Canada as better
treatment than Eigland had a right to ex-
pect 1t alludes + Irishmen as a race which
has suffered for Centuries inexcusable and
inefaceable wPngs, end asserts that the
American peotle believe that England owes
reparation to ireland.
The Intervention of our Government in
the Feniar campaign against Canada is
therefore proof of its fidelity to obligations
supposed % be due to other nations. 1t
ought to satisfy the world that we have nei-
Their interest nor desire to disturb the peace
of the world.
The committee report a resolution to
carry into effect their ideas.

JUDGE sRIEN's DECISION ON THE
FRANCHISE QUESTION.

We print this morning the application of
Col. JoHN L. HOUSE, Of Williamson coun-
ty, to Judge BRIEs for a mandamus to com
pei the Commissioner of Registration for that
county under the Franchise law, to issue a
certificate to him as a voter The reasons
stated by the Judge for refusing the appli-
cation viii strike all intelligent minds with
surprise. The sum and substance of it may
be fully stated thus "The relator, in ap-
plying for the certificate, admits the validity
of the law in all its parts; and not having
brought himself within its provisions, is
not entitled to the certificate" This sum
mary mode Of disposing Of the rights
of three-fourths of the citizens Of Tennessee
will DOT be accepted
That the Legislature may constitutionaliy
enact law requiring the registration Of all
loyal voters has not been questioned in this
State But it is denied by Col. HOusE that
the Legislature can take away from free
white citizen the right of suffrage, which he
has previously enjoyed, unless on due con
viction of a felonious crime, according to a
law of general application previously passed
and that in so far as the late Franchise act
undertook to do this, it was unconstitutional,
and, therefore, void and Of no effect to that
extent. This was the true question present
ed by Col. House, but Judge BRIEN did not
touch it. In our view the reasons given for
his judgment are nothing more than a
puerile bubble.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Memphis Riots.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The report of
the select committee appointed to investigate
all matters connected with the Memphis riots
and massacre was made to the House last
night. 1t is signed by Representatives
WAsHRURNE, of Illinois, and BRoMALL, of
Pennsylvania, the other member Mr.. SHANK
LIN, Of Kentucky, dissenting.
They say the Outbrake of the disturbance
resulted from a collision between some po-
licemen and discharged colored soldiers,
which was seized upon as pretext for an or
ganized and bloody massacre Of the colored
population of Memphis, regardless Of age,
sex or conditions Inspired by teachings ofihe
press and led on by the sworn officers of the
law, comparing the city, government and
others. The whole evidence disclosed the
killing of men, women and children. The
innocent unarmed and defenceless, pleading
for their lives and crying for mercy. The
wounding, beating and maltreating of a great
er number, burning pillaging and consuming
of the dead bodies in the flames; the burn
ing Of dwellings and attempts to burn up
whole families in their houses, and the bru-
tai and revolving ravishing Of defenseless
and terror stricken women. The report re-
capitulates the number of negroes killed at
forty-six, and whites two; rapes on cOlored
women five; maltreated ten; robberies one
hundred; houses and cabins burned, ninety
one; churches nine; school houses twelve.
The value Of property destroyed was $780,
9Sl. The Committee say that the feeling
in Memphis, and indeed throughout that
section of the country, shows that there is
little loyalty to the Government and the
flag. The state Of things in Memphis is
very much now as il was before the break
ing out of the rebellion. The Committee
deliberately state that in their Judgment
there will be no safety 70 loyal men, either
white or black, should the troops be with
drawn, and no military protection afforded.
The Committee believe il to be the duty Of
the Government to first try and punish the
offenders by military authority; also, by the
same authority to levy tax upon the citi-
zens Of Memphis sufficient to cover all losses
ofproperty destroyed.
The Neutrality Laws.
Gen. Banks, from the committee or fof-
eign affairs, has presented report on the
subject Of neutrality, the consideration OF
which has been postponed till Tuesday. Il
searches thoroughly The history Of American
neutrality laws, from the stringent act Of
I794 and 1877, designed to protect the then
infant republic, bur too great concession to
Spain and England, down to recent exhi-
billions Of neutrality by England. The Unit
ed States in the affairs Of the rebels and the
Fenians, the reports regards the laws Of
1918, which forms she ground Of our present
neutral obligations, as founded On an I'M
sound philosophy, and imposed upon the
country, BY considerations affecting the m
terests Of other nations, instead Of our own,
and holds that the highest interests ofssciyili-
sation demand that the Liberties and rights

THE POEMS OF COLONEL. w. =.
HAWKINS.


We have been sincerely gratifed that at
least some Of the poems Of Col. WILLIAM
s. HAWKINS have been collected and print
ed in form giving them certain preserva-
ton. Before his death, he had in contem-
platiou this publication, and fixed for it the
poetical title "Behind tie Bars" These COM
positions 'embody some Of the passing
thoughts and incidents of his prison life
and evince the true genius of the man
though they comprise but a small portion of
his productions.
Col. HAWKINS was one Of the most re-
markable young men Of his day. His cease
less intellectual activity was such, that he
explored all the paths Of art and learning,
and failed nor even descended to medioerity
in nothing For his unusual aptitude his
instructor in music strenuously insisted that
he should adoptit as profession. He es-
saved painting with equal success, As an
orator he was gifted with extraordinary
fluency, power and perfection Of action. On
'the Dead at Manassas" he delivered in
1861, an Grafton at the Masonic Hall in this
city. which the most competent in the State
pronounced a masterpiece. In The exciting
scenes accompanying the outbreak Of the
late war he became a Tribune Of the people,
and spoke from day to day to his country
men in this county, electriying and con-
vineing them, on:the greafIthemes then I'M
der consideration. Bold, fearless and self
conscious, he passed into the army As pri-
vate soldier, and in twelve months was at
the head OF a regiment His skill and oonr-
age as a commander was conspicuous, and
his adherence 70 the rules Of just war
fare, behind the enemy's lines as well as in
trout added 20 his iusi fame, secured the adj
miration Of his friends and commanded the
respect Of his enemies In the bivouae he
ENHANCED his men with The recild Of the
work he expected them to do the noNt day,

poetry upon his lips, EntTusted with the

nR srRE TO RneIsrER.

We cannot too often or earnestly impress
upon our friends the importance Of register
ing and receiving their voting certificates.
We hope none will fail in this matter. 1t
is now plain that the people themselves must
pay more attention 10 the public admins
tration Of their Government. They have
little or nothing to hope from the desperate
Radical leaders, who, to secure and Perpe-
tuate their power and hold on place, Will
sickle at nothing to accomplish their aims.
Our opinion is ihai the last Franchise
Law Is unconstitutional and void, so far as It
purporls to deprive the free white men Of
Tennessee Of the bsllot--but before that can
be determined, authoritaiively, important
elections are TO be held. We beliye, three
fourths or more Of the men who are entitled
70 vote even under the law are conservative
and supporters of the President Il il theil
duty 70 see that they are not deprived Of
their rights BY their own negleci.

New York, July 25.-The cholera is
again increasing with the return of warm
weather. Sixteen new cases were reported
of which six have been fatal. A very hard
state of affairs prevails on Wards Island
Several persons have died of cholera, and
there are now eleven cases there. 1t was
believed, however, that the epidemic could
be controlled. A cholera nest has been dis
covered in the lower part of Vote street and
at No. l13 Mulberry street. There were
four cases of cholera in one room in Brook
lyn. The disease also found more Roadway,
eleven cases being reported on Governors
Island. Affairs look promising, nc new
cases having occurred. The number of
burial permits issued,yesterday was 202, and
the number Of fatal cases of cholera twenty,
which gives a more favorable report than
during the same number of days last week
