THE SOUTHERN CONTENTION

The address and resolutions adopted by the
Southern Convention yesterday, declare that
Mr. Johnson's policy is responsible for our
present troubles, and testify that the encourage
ment given the Rebels has placed the lives and
fortunes of Southern Union men in the hands of men
who have fearully abused their power. Congress is
earnestly sustained and asked to give further protec
ton to the loyalsts in the Rebel States We COM
mend both the address and resolutions to the
people, for they deserve no ordinary attention. They
do not however fully express the views Of the Union
lists who come from the Seaboard States. There was
in the Convention a decided majority OF delegates
from the Border States, and they controlled
it. Thus the necessity of Impartial Suffrage
is not asserted by the Convention TACT
which must be understood to mean that Maryland,
West Virginia. and portions of the Tennessee and Mis-
sour delegations considered such assertion lmpoltc'
The debate was very earnest between Gov. Hamilton
and the opponents of suffrage plank, but
fortunately the matter was finally adjusted
by the moderation and good sense of the Convention
The delegates from the unreconstructed States will
to-day offer another address, in which their unatera-
BILE conviction of the necessity Of Impartial Suffrage
will be affirmed and it is understood that
this is to be acknowledged as the voice OF
the Union men of the extreme South-Texas,
Louisiana. Georgia and Alabama. Great questions
were considered by the Convention yesterday, but as
we approve of the wise refusal Of the Northern
delegates to attempt TO influence the Con-
vention. so we consider IT best to await ITS
adjournment before entering into the debate.
This is q Convention of Southern men. They know
what we of the North desire, and how deep is our
sympathy with their hopes and aims. IL is but just
then that the North should as far as possible, silent
ly await the result of their deliberations

DLSGUSTED EARLY.

The Boston Herald the only Democratic newspaper
in Massacbusett. of much influence seems by no
means sure either Of the prosperity or virtue oil the
new and nameless party The Philadelphia Conyen'
ton was well enough theoretically but there is
perfeot palisade of " ifs" brstling in the way of
practical march to victory and yictuals. \ great
deal remains to be seen,' says Tie Herald, sagey.
Then il goes ON thus:
IN small tricky dirty party demngogues get tho control
Of the and thrust their disgusting eVoing car
cases In The fgnt the people WIZ not touch H. aad ~ wi" De-
come a miserable failure"
This is sharp, at least, if not savory. But what
would The Herald have! Appetite knows 10 moral
distinctions. A man may be hungry without possess
ing all the cardinal virtues. Here is political specu
laon set on foot, and who should 60 into it but the
:" small tricky dirty, party demagogues1" Let us be
fair 1t is their party; it is Of their conception and
creation; and why should MT they control the
movement" Of this organization, i e., if it ever at
tans any movement to control, which we think e1-
tremely doubtfuli Those who cast their nets in the
muddy waters of intrigue and faction must mt wonder
if odd fish are sometimes brought up to the shore.
The managers of this new are in no condition
to pick and choose their customers. They must add
to their 'godliness brothcrly kindness, and to
brotherly kindness charity" They must turn up
their noses at nobody They must accept disreputa-
bic bob-tall as well respectable rag aud tag. Do
the gentlemen who preside over the little joker at
horse-races and mlita-musters require bold adyen-
turers to exhibit certificates OF church membership be-
fore they can be allowed TO try their lucki Such
nicely would be thought unfair; and it is equally so
for the promoters of an anti-Conscience party to
make good character qualification for membership.
The Herald adds, with touching simplicity:
ION the other hand II sound put forward-men in
whom the people have conidence-it will succeed"
This is a very safe remark to make. No man of
ordinary fairness will deny that if the miscellaneous
party can Just contriye to get votes enough it will
sweep every State in the Union, and for its
managers handsome and satisfying ratons. All it
needs is popular confidence. But this is a vegetable
of slow growth, and, although Mr.. Johnson may
plant, and Mr.. Seward may water, and other gentle
men may brandy -and-water, with unfagging as
sidnity the increase" may prove insgnifcantly
SMALL Thus far, the cards are played with anything
but foxy sagacity The trip to Chicago turns out as
We supposed il would, TO be the most laughabe
political blunder committed by any body Of politicians
in our time and that is saying great deal. Another
500 miles of repasts and rhetoric would prove fin
isher However they are hardly needed.

CITY REORGANIZA TON.

The Republican. Unionsts of this City are at length
TO have a local organization based upon Republican
votes cast in 1864 instead Of the absurd and corrupt
ing rotten borough system hitherto in vogue, whereby
500 Republican voters residing in certain Wards were
accorded equal power with $500 residing in other
Wards. The new formation of Assembly Districts
having rendered reorganization inevitable, the State
Convention wisely resolved that it should be thor
ough Our General and Nominating Committees Tor
all but Municipal officers will henceforth be chosen by
our twenty.one new Assembly Districts, whereof
each is entitled delegate one more for each 3OO
voters polled for Lincoln in 1864 and one for each
fraction over 100 Thus, instead of five delegates
from each Ward each Union General or Nominating
Committee will be composed substantially as follows:
I'VE compute by Wards because we have not the
vote by the new Assembly Districts

DIR EINANCEE.

The liquidated National Debt, less the amount Of
cash in the Treasury one year ago, was over
So 757 000 900; it is now but 81 595, 653, l65. On
the lst Of January last it was S2749, 49l ,745 so
that its reduction during the last eight months has
considerably exceeded One Hundred and Fifty Millions
Of Dollars. There is no parallel to this rapidty Of
extinction in the history of any Government At this
rate we should pay off the last dollar within less than
fifteen years. Aud, though the present Congress has
made very large reductions in the rates of Internal
Taxation it does not appear that the accruing revenue
has thereby been sensibly diminished.
Such being the case, it is deplorabe that, because
of our deranged, inflated Currency, Debt should
be rapidly going abroad for sale at an average
d" shave Of twenty-five per cent. While French
or British five per cent. having some years TO run,
would sell to-day for par or over our six per cents
principal and interest payable in gold are rapidly
passing out of American into European hands at an
average price Of about seyenyfye cents on the dollar
1t is burning disgrace as well as National loss
that this should 90 on. Aud We, in time of peace
and prosperity, are taking our pay mainly in goods
that we consume and children must pay for. This
is all very wrong.
We think the Secretary of the Treasury should en-.
deavor 10 arrest il. He has over Seventy six Millions
of Coin in his vaults, beside Fftys six Millions Of Cur
rency-that u.s. Of his notes. He might certainly
spare Forty If not Fifty Millions Of his specie where
with 10 buy up, as cheapy as possible, 30 much OF
the Public Debt as it would pay for And this, we
ore confident, would so put up the price that no more
would 60 abroad, else those foreigners who insisted
on having it would be obliged to give nearly or quite
par for il.
Can it be that Mr.. McCulloch is indifferent TO this
steady efiu1 Of National obligations at pree so
seandslously below their true value We trust not.
Yet he seems to be doing nothing to arrest it.

that the Excise Board cannot be enjOined. Liquor
