tbs PROCLAMATION

It is reported that Governor Wells has sent
down from the parish of Rapides a proolhma-
ton ordering an election to fill vacancies IN
the convention of 1864. This action has been
taken pursuant TO the request OF minority of
those who were members Of that body, given
Ell 4 recent informal meeting called Without
the sanction of the president of the conven-
lion. After that body adjourned, no one but
its president, Judge Durell, was authorized to
reconvene it. He has wisely refused to at
tempt to resuseitate it for the mere purpose of
carrying out the schemes OF tricksters, and
gratifying the whims of those who wish to win
notoriety oreash by playing into the hands of
the Northern radicals, Whereupon the small
minority, the fractional rTlmp the Tag end and
remnant of the unpopular assemblage of 1854,
have met and made another president, by the
votes of .. neagre fraction OF the body, which
was at best but partial representation Of the
voters of Louisiana.
The friends of Governor Wells will pardon
rs for saying that his excellency has commit
sed a very great error in lending his official
sanction to the schemes of these faetious con
ventionists. By no possible means can the
governor have anything to do lawfully with
the convention of 1864. Should the legis-
lature call a State convention, their cell would
be law, and that law the governor would be
called on to execute. IN that case he would
be obliged to issue proclamation for the
election of delegates to such convention, and
as the chief magistrate of the State it would
be his duty to see that the laws were faith
fully executed, that due notice OF the election
be given, and that the election be fairly held
In the present case, no law requires a procla-
nation from his e1cellency--no law author
ICES such proclamation. We're the convention
which assembled in 1864 legal and still in
existence, itwould have no right to order the
governor Of the State. He was elected
under positive law-his functions are posi-
tive-they cannot be abridged by extra
legal proceedings they cannot be en-
larged by any such proceedings. He has
nothing whatever to do with conventions, ex-
cept in obedience to the instructions of the
legislature. Our legislature has not instructed
him to reconvene and exc out the convention
of 1864, and would not have done it, even if
the power to do il existed. GOV. Wells, there
fore, in ordering an election for delegates to
fill out the convention of 1864, e0hieh has not
been Teoonueaed, is acting wholly without
authority. Nothing can legalize such action.
1t amounts to nothing. The proclamation is
not worth the paper on which it is written.
The seal Of the State, supposing it to be
affixed, could not Vitalize it. 1t is mere waste

MR.. MONROE AND THE AADIcAL Parss.

49,
Mr.. Monre's few remarks at the late
Fourth of J'y celebration, have afforded the
text for a god deal of the usual kind of radi-
cal abuse the South. both in editorial
paragraphs ad tne letters Of those itinorant
correspondents, q few of whom still infest
this city. FAe of the latter, who signs him
self /" O. nd writes to a country paper in
Pennsy a, is particularly abusive and de-
nunejato'y not only of Mr.. Monroe, but of
the people this city generally. His ACCUSE
tons are srcely fit to be copied into decent
paper, andertainly they could not have found
their waynto print except through the col
umns of SINE radical organ, or of " Harper's
journal oCivihzation. But, after all, such
charges oght not to annoy us. When we see
! them we airlk of the writer as DR. johnson
thought o.the lady to whom he said, : ah
madam, ia not mean what your were think
ing OF, wen she gave wrong meaning to
some hairless remark. 1t certainly does not
become tk avowed amalgamationists to make
innuendos about the people OF New Orleans.
| If there e departures from morality among
us, those departures are not supported by
argument and enforced by theories Of I'M
natural quality. The repulsiye term mis-
eegenatio" did not originate in the South.
As to wat Mr.. Monroe said at the Fourth
of July cebIation he has the countenance OF
many of lie most eminent men of this eoun-
try. Henight have been wrong, or he might
have bee right in. declaring that Jefferson did
not mealto include negroes-at least politi-
cally-wen he asserted the natural equality
Of man put right or wrong, it does not follow
that he ia contumacious "rebel" because he
thinks TIT a negro is not tine natural equal Of a
white nm. Mn, Monroe can stand by what he
said on hat occasion, even although "Har-
per's Weekly Journal Of Civilization" may
assert TIT he called the Declaration of hide
pendenc a lie" Those who heard Mr.. Mon
roe, andhOse who know him, are well aware
that he id no such thing. But what better
than sue wicked perversion of the truth can
be expe'ed from periodical which could at
tempt tdnhGme the malignant passions Of its
readers5y the publication of such atroeious
illustrations as those which have recently APP
peared the pages of Harper's Weekly? After
such exhibitions of diabolism it cannot be said
to be dgreced by any mere verbal displays
Of flsaood and wickedness. If that paper
had pr8ed Mr.. Monroe he might have had
reason distrust himself When it censures
him, h4znows that he must deserve the APP
prebatin Of all decent people.

SKELETON CONVENTIONS.

/
The New York Times pretends to support
the Philadelphia convention. Indeed, that
paper claims to be the originator of the move
ment OF which the convention is, in arneasure,
the elimination. 1t assumes to be friendly to
the President, and processes desire for the
success ofhis policy. But after all the Presi-
dents policy appears to differ very widely from
MIR. Raymond's policy; and it is hard to per-
eelYe IN what essential feature Mr.. Raymonds
ideas differ from the ideas of the radicals. We
see In the Times abundance of conciliatory
sentiment and eataelysm Of the Joseph
| Surface style Of morality ; we perceive unlim-
lied obJurgation of radical usurpations, and
tsupernumerous honilies on the duty of mag
nanimity towards the South; but we discover,
hnally' that denuneiation OF radicalism simply
expresses Mr., Raymond's jealousy Of the radi-
calleaders; and that magnaninity towards the
South means nothing more than the recogni-
ton as the Southern people, of small circle
Of politicians who represent the South only
nom having Always been opposed to Southern
rights, interests and opinions,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY
The movement in Gold disclosss no variation
whatever. offerings Of cash gold are still
Light, but they continue far in excess Of the
demand, which cannot be reported as much
better than nominal Sales yesterday were
unusually limited, and the market closed fiat
at previous quotations
Foreign Erchdl,ge Both Sterling and Francs
are still neglected, and sales show no improve
ment Of any kind in either Offerings are
somewhat larger, owing to the shipments of
cotton on planters account, but the demand
is still Of very limited character, and remit
ters purchase only bank, or equally strong
bills for transmission abroad. Rates continue
nominally at 1900 1862 for bank sterling, 157@
1859 for clear bills, 1549156 for bill of Iading
bills. s. 5(93. 48f for bank francs and 8. 57a(9

Cotton The market opened very quiet but
manifested increased strength after the re-
ceipt Of the Hibernian,s news yesterday Of
ferings especially Of the better grades, were
exceedingly light throughout, and sales were
restricted to 1000 bales at full previous prices,
and towards the close of business at rates IA

we repeat as follows, viz Ordinary 25@27c.,
good ordinary 29@31c., low lniddling $50,
