BSF Yesterday was the day fixed for
the assembling of the striped and speck-
led multitude of ~pap-eaters at Phila-
delphia, to endorse my policy" and
scheme for the restoration of rebels and
traitors to all the rights of citizenship
and a totally of the offices of honor
and profit. Perhaps on this continent
never before assembled as many raven
ously hungry political bankrupts and
unblushing demagogues as are now in
Philadelphia, fattering Andy johnson,
and begging for the bread and butter that
executive favor dispenses. They are in
league with JEFF. Davis party of the
South, and before six months we expect
to see the Democratic papers of the North
advocating the unconditional pardon of
Davis and his colleagues They call
themselves conservatives, " which means
to obstruct and defeat all political re-
formatory and progressive measures, and
afford the South all possible opportunity
to recuperate and regain her ascendencY
IN the national councils. With men like
johnson and Seward, at the head of the
Government, so sycophantically anxious
to ''concilliate" traitors, the Philadel-
phia convention may lay the ground
work of q vast deal of misfortune and
disgrace to the nation. Undoubtedly
they will give very material aid and COM
fort to the more incourigible rebel Gle
ment of the South. Mobs, riots, massa-
ores and incendiarism will be the Weap-
ons most potent in the hands of traitors
to awe, to expel or crush Union men,
The calamities that have stained Mem
phis and New Orleans with blood, may
become epidemic under the stimulus of
the encouragement given by the Demo
Gratis and J~ohnsonites, from the Presi-
dent of the United States down to the
rawest, blear-eyed co~pperhead who is op-
posed to "nigger equality" but never
refuses 10 drink whiskey with the black
est man he can find low enough to treat
him. That a crusade of persecution is
to be inaugurated against the freedmen
and their friends, by the pro7slavery ele-
ments, North and South, seems quite
probable. This persecution will doubt
less lead to dissensions. The day for
controlling the free sentiment of the ma
ton by intimidation, has passed. Not
that it is not now and will not continue
to be used as a weapon, but because ii
viii be boldly and successfully defed.-
There is sufficiently large proportion of
the people of America who will dare to
do right, and leave the results with the
God of Justice. Now, as ever, the safety
of the-nation depends on the virtue, pa
triotism and intelligence of the people
who, knowing their rights, dare main
tain them.

R- There is a very marked change in
the o n Of some, if not nearly all of the
Union papers, since last October. During
that month we heard the great Radical
Wendell Phillips, forecast Andrew John
sons career. He judged the future of john
son by what he had recently done and was
then doing. He boldly fOretold his treach-
cry to the cause and principles in whose
name he had been chosen. Strange as it
may seem, Mr.. Phillips was denounced by
every paper in New York, the next morn,
ing, and by mont more severely than the
Tribune, as a visionary impraeticable. But
mark the change! Every utterance as to
Johnson's perfdy has been realized, and the
clear headed radical of last fall is to-day moi
a step in advance of the great mass of the
Union party in hearty, justifable condem-
nation of the policy of the Administration.
Men whose principles are based on the i'm
mutable laws-of right and justice, may of
ten, as to the 'sfullness of time" be imprac
tlcable, but are never wrong

EXECUTION OF AN ELEPHANF.-An Ameri
can circus has been travelling about
Switzerland with great success this sum
mer, but at Friburg, last month, the male
elephant, over fatigued by the constant
marching, and initiated by the roughtreat-
ment of his keeper, suddenly seized his
keeper and tossing him to a great hight,
on his fall crushed his chest with his foot
before any assistance could be afforded,
As it is generally understood that after
once killing a man those animals are
dangerous, the director of the circus de-
eided upon having it killed, and for that
purpose applied to the authorities of
Friburg for a piece of cannon. This was
granted, and the animal having been got
into a favorable position, the gun was
fred, and the brute fell dead.

We learn from the Summit Bacon that
on Sunday night week one of the Wheel
Mills of the Austin Powder Company's
work, near Akron, was destroyed by fire.
There was about two hundred pounds of
powder on the bed of the mill at the
time, but it was so moist, (requiring to
be wet while being ground,) that no ex-
plosion took place. The building was a
light one, and as the machinery is mostly
of iron. and very heavy, the damage is
NOT very great.

should be stated that he was absent from
New Orleans when the disturbances com
menced in that city:
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. l.
To Gen. U. s. Grant, Washington:
You are doubtless aware of the serious
riot which occurred in this city on the
Both. A political body styling itselfthe
convention of 1864, met on the Both, for
as it is alleged, the purpose of remodel
ing the present constitution OF the State
The leaders were political ~agitators and
revolutionary men. The action of the
convention was liable to produce breach
es of the public peace. l had made UP
nv mind to arrest the head men, if the
proceedings of the convention were estab.
iished to disturb the tranquility of the
Department; but 1 had no cause of &C
ton until they committed the overt act.
About forty whites and blacks were killed
and about one hundred and sixty woun,
ded. Everything is now quiet, but !
deem it best to maintain a military SUI
premacy in the city for a few days until
the affair is fully investigated. 1 believe
the sentiment of the general community
is great regret at this unnecessary cruelty
and that the police could have made any
arrest they saw fit without sacrificing
lives.
