The SMALL THINGS OF CoNGREss.-
Congress, while it has been exceed
lngly liberal in voting heavy appro-
prlatlons for jobs ont of which its
radical friends can make money, has
exercised most parsimonious spirit
IN dealing with such little matters as
an appropriation for the improve
ment of the Presidents house and
other things OF Il similar character.
Having occupied most of its time in
abusing and obstructing Mr.. John
son, its latest act of meanness was
striking out the tritiing sum for the
repairs of his mansion, while millions
have been thrown away for the bene-
fit of the negroes and the national
bank monopolies. This kind of eco
nomy will be fully understood at the
fall elections.-Ne'c Yo,h. HeruAI.

White has managed the intricate NJ

him at this late period; and the skill

cognized as second to none in the
country in it's cuisine, its comforts. or
its cleanliness.

Northumberland Sherman was
serenadcd. last night, by the band of
the Twelfth United States infantry.
In response to the calls of the persons
congregatcd, he remarked that he was
stranger here, and had nothing to
say to them, and had no speech to
make. He said his home was in st.
Louis. where no would be glad to see
them all or on the plains, where he
purposed shortly to go. He thought
the less man said i'll Washington,

more than thank them for the com
pllmcnt that had, on this occasion,
been conferred upon him.

Official Refutation.

The thousand stories of cruelty to
Federal prisoners OF war meets an
official refutation from n quarter
whose authority will hardly be gain
aayed. It comes from the War De
partment, in reply to a resolution of
the House of Representatives, asking
for the number of prisoners of either
side held and that died during the
war. The department makes the fol-
lowing report: Number of Union pri-
aoncrs, South, $50, $40; number of
rebel prisoners, North, 200, 900.
Union prisoners died, 22,57G; mum
Der of rebel prisoners died, 26, 1876.
From this statement the, calculation
may be made, that two Union pri
soners died in Southern prisons out
of every twenty-three; and two Con
federates in Northern prisons died
out of every fifteen.
But this official refutation of base
sianders of alleged cruelty at Ander-
sonville and other Southern prisons,
comes too late to prevent Wirtz from
an ignominious death, OF Major Gee
from months Of military persecution.
The falsity of all the allegations is
more clearly demonstrated, when we
remember the Northern soldier was
poorly acclimatized for this confina-
inent Jn Southern latitude, which
TACT, taken IN connection with the
difference in the mortality indicated
in the above report, is of itself the
most complete vindication of the
character for humanity claimed by us
for Confederate officers, and puts to
hight all such testimony as hung
Capt. Writ and punished others.

Thsssoathern Press.

The Richmond Times Ii jubfiani
| over the tone and spirit Of fhe press
of the Southsat this time. It says:
There never was q time when the
Southern press was performing It's
duty to the South more vigilantly.
fearlessly and usefully than now.
The evidence of this ability, fidelity
and efficiency can be found in The
curses, imprecations, groans and wells
OF oil the detected, f1agellated and
exposed petty military tyrants, un-
worthy Judges, thicvish cotton agents,
and housing agents of the Freed.
mems Bureau, who were turned loose
to prey upon the Southern people
before and at the close of the war.
But for the press, these harpies would
have stripped our people as bare as a
pack of cayotes devour the carcass
of buffalo.
But the press has been the terror
of these rapacious reptiles throughout
the Southern States, from the Rio
Grande to the Potomac. Who does
not know that the agony of unen-
durable suffering and torture from a
hundred keen pens made Underwood
below like Il half-fayed bull of Ba-
shan, when he was last here.
How very refreshing are the ana
themas of the Hamiltons, the Brown
lows and the Holdens, who suffer the
same merciless tortures. A Southern
editor feels the grim Joy of veteran
grimalkin at the squeaks of the rats
IN the drawers of the Freedmen's IS
Bureau, when they are hunted down
and caught stuffed with rations and
dishonest perquisites
The latest tribute to the usefulness
of the press is the denunciation of
the able journals Of Memphis by the
mendacious and thoroughly unscru-
pulous committee oi Congress which
was sent to that city to manufacture
capital for the radicals out Of the
"Legro riots Messrs. Gulliver,
Munchausen and Sinbad, Of the COM
mlttee, expected to have an easy
time at Memphis concocting slanders
and libels upon the Southern people.
But the Memphis journals straight
way fell upon these emissaries of Ste
vens and roasted them elaborately
every morning. In their report, they
are almost as abusive of the Memphis
papers as the tortured Underwood
was of the loyal press of this CITY.
The unanimity with which these dis,
t"rbers of the peace of the nation,
and most unscrupulous revolutionists
and disunionists, abuse the patriotic
press of the South, is splendid tri-
butte to its efficiency Whom q Soutb
ern editor clnps blister plaster be

The Riot.

Ihe following brief summary will
INFORM our readers, at q glance, the
cause OF the late riot in New Orleans.
!. In the year 1864, under Federal
Ratronage and support, q portion of
the people OF Louisiana. within tbe
shen Federal military lines. held y
convention by delegates, for the mr.
pose OF altering the Constitution of
the State to conform to the changed
circumstances In which thev were
placed, and to set on foot a nermo.

down-whereupon, having done all
that 1t was called upon to do. ad-
]ourned. 1t had spent its force. and
was no more living, vital BODY than
that which adopted the first Const;-
tuition of the State.
3. When the Congress proposed
the pending amendment to the Con
stitntion, it was thought necessary
by the Louisiana radicals to convene
this defunct convention to ratify it.
1t IS we'll known that, if this dead
body had had life, it would have been
unlawful for it to act in the prepis 8.
since the amendment was express, "
referred to the Legislatures of the
States.
4. The president Of the convention
was asked to call it together, but re-
fused. A few of the members. but
not II quorum, met and tried to re-or-
ganize by the election of O president.
This failed, for lack of numbers to
give it responsibility.
3. They next called upon the Go
vernon to order elections to fill vacan
cies. The Governor was absent and
could not be found for several weeks.
but finally turned up, and consented
to order the elections as demanded.
=. In the meantime, Judge Abel,
OF New Orleans court having crimi-
nal jurisdiction, in charging the grand
jury, instructed them that the mem
bers of this rump convention were
acting criminally, and were each and
all liable to indictment and punish
ment, under the laws of the State.

capacity, Judge Abel was arrested by

The Philadelphia Convention.

The following timely article we clip
from the New York DAILY Ne,rs:
What should be the great end and
aim of this Convention? What is
the noblest object to which it could
devote its labors? The only true
reply is To cement together, with
all possible harmony, all the States
in Union under tho Federal Cousti-
tuition. Who are the parties most
likely to consummate this desired
end?
Are there not, Mt the South, dele
gates who would represent truly the
great mass of the South, so as to in
sure the representation of the real
and general sentiment? Nothing is
more clear than that the people of
the South always considered the Fe-
deral Constitution as the best rul. of
government ever devised, and the
subject of slavery being now exclud.
ed, the ground Of contest had been re-
moved, and the most violent during
the war believe that n sacred adhe.
renee to tho Constitution is the best
guarantee for the general welfare,
and Of course there can be no filter
representatives.
"The peace men at the North
those who urged peaceful measures,
which would certainly have restored
the Union in closer bonds-and who
opposed coercion as inconsistent with
republican principles, repudiated by
the Constitution, and which could be
resorted to only by the erection of n
despotism over the South, to accom-
pllsh (by the sacrifice of liberty, of
millions of lives, and thousands of
millions of dollars, by untold suffer
ing, devastation and decentralization
that which could peaceably be done
without any sacrifice or danger to the
Constitution. Surely these people
would be safe delegates to Conven-
tion honestly intending to restore and
to uphold the Constitution in all it's
integrity.
1.-The crime Of. the peace men was
what no honest and candid mind can
doubt was practicable, to re-unite
the States by peaceful adjustment
in manner immensely to strengthen
the bonds Of Union, and knowing this
to be practicable, to oppose coercion
as Il Pandora's box. Now that. to
some extent, we can count the cost Of
coercion, is there not the best reason
tor repentance that the peaceful and
healing policy was not adopted?
There can be no holier or better mon
