THE MARTYR PRESIDENT.

Among the resolutions adopted by the
Observation-Disclosures convention, on last
Wednesday, was one abiding to that illus
trious martyr" the late President LINCOLN
and another to that great leader of enamel
patton and champion of human freedom,
HENRY WINTER DAVIS" Now, President
LINCOLN had few more formidable opponents
than HENRY WINTER DAVIS. The policy
acted upon in the conduct of the war and
the policy enforced. by Mr.. LINCOLN in re-
storing conquered States to the Union were
denounced by DAVIS as wrong in principle
and fatal to the ends which radicals like him
self had in view. Nothing has been said or
written against President JOHNSON more Sc
we're, more sweeping in its condemnation,
than the WADE-DAvIs manifesto against Mr..
LINCOLN, issued in August, 1864.
According to DAVIS and WADE, Mr.. LIN.
COLIN was a usurper, q tyrant, an enemy to
republicanism as understood by the radicals.
Indeed, all that the radicals now say against
President JOHNSON was in those days said
by the radicals against Mr.. LINCOLN. The
profession Of love and admiration for the
latter, in which they now indulge, is, then,
downright hypocrisy. They cannot applaud
the principles and course Of WINTER DAVIS
without in effect censuring the principles
and course Of Mr.. LINCOLN. The two are
irreconcilable, and the radicals, we know,
are on the side of Mr.. LNooLN's assailant
To be CONSISTENT, the admirer of Mr.. LIN
COLIN must be the supporter Of his successor
for the policy which led to the publication
Of the WADE-DAvIs indictment is the policy
to which the JOHNSON administration has
faithfully adhered.

A bloody Tragedy-A Father and
His Son Killed.

We learn that IN ARRAY occurred at Buck
ingham Courthouse, on Saturday last, be-
tween lawyer named James Leach and An
thony Walton and his son, whose given
name we did not hear, which resulted in the
death Of the elder Walton, and the mortal
wounding Of his son. The affair grew out of
n supposed criminal intimacy between the
wife ofthe elder Walton and Leach, the facts Of
which, however, 1t is proper to say, had been
fully investigated by mutual friends of both
parties, and by them pronounced entirely un-
founded, and it was supposed by all that the
whole matter had been settled TO the satisfac-
ton Of the Waltons. This, il appears, was
not the case, as young Walton, meeting with
Leach on the street Saturday, asked Of him
further explanations, and while they were
talking the matter over, some ofRcous friend
went to the house Of the elder Walton, and
told him his son and Leach were engaged in
difficulty, and the father proceeded at once
to where they were. Upon getting near
enough, he Immediately drew his pistol and
fired, without effect, at Leach, who returned
the fire, his ball striking him in the neck, the
wound terminating fatally in few minutes
The younger Walton and Leach then com
menced firing at each other, one Of Leach's
balls penetrating the abdomen of Walton,
inficting mortal wound. Leach himself
was unhurt. After the shooting he surren.
dered himself to the officers Of the law, and
was tried and acquitted, upon the ground of
having acted in selfdefence. ....
The parties Of this unfortunate affair were
oil highly respectable, and its tragical results
are most deeply deplored by the entire COM
munity.-LyHchburg Net0s. NJ

A GENTLEMAN Of this city, from New Or
leans, who was associated with DIR. Dostie
and other leaders who were killed in the late
riot, and left there only six hours before the
riot commenced, informs us that that affair
had nothing to do with politics, or even the
convention. The gathering of the conven-
ton was only a pretext for the murder of
men who were doomed to death by the
Thugs to wipe out old scores, and soine of
them were killed away from the meeting in
other parts of the city. He is himself an
extreme radical, though he was opposed to
the meeting Of the. convention, as was Du-
rant and Others, who had to flee for their
lives. There is little doubt that our inform
ant was on the doomed list, as his life had
been threatened by the very man who gave
postis bis death acknowledgement (Aass.)

A Bio FARN.-One of the monster farms
of modern times is that Of Cen Urquiza, of
Buenos Ayres. 1t is composed of an un-
broken body Of 5000 square miles, over which
countless thousands Of horses, cattle, and
sheep are grazing. OF cattle, the farm sends
over $4,000 annually to the slaughter The
horses would supply the cavalry of a large
army; and from the wool of the sheep ships
are loaded annually and sent directly to Flu
rope. The buildings are ranged round two
large, squares the open space of which is
paved with dressed stones. The gardens and
orchards are in keeping with the other fea-
lures Of the estate, and contain an endless
variety OF horticultural and floral treasures.
Among other improvements is an artificial
lake, seventy-fve rods square, and from
twenty to thirty feet deep, the cost of which
was one hundred thousand dollars in silver.
Near the main residence is permanent en-
campment Of soldiers under the Generals
immediate command.

Ia DE
The Convention Of so-called southern 10y
slists has turned out pretty much as was ex.
pected by oil discerning men. 1t was sim
ply spssmodic effort on IL part Of a
miscellaneous lot Of political adventures to
gain political power; and now that the spasm
is over the public look with amazement
upon the mangled remains Of the body
which threatened at one time to rise like
GoILArH Of Gath and 60 forth to battle
What sort Of sling it was that killed this
pretentious giant we cannot say, but it is
certain that he lies PROSTATE, while the true
Union men walk around the PROSTATE form,
looking with wonder and pity upon SO much
pretended loyalty thrown away and wasted.
According to the theory Of that Conven-
ton, the black man was as much entitled to
prominent seat as anybody else, but the
black man was thrown overheard. FRED.
DOUGLASS is negro who possesses infinitely
greater ability than JACK HAMILTON, Parson
BRowSLow, and other demoralized whites
who took leading parts in the Convention,
and yet DOUGLASS was snubbed and ignored
while the vulgarities and blasphemies Of the
white men were applauded to the echo. The
speeches Of BRowNLow and HA~SroS will
not bear comparison with those Of DoUG-
LASS in tone, temper, ability, clearness, and
force, and yet DOUGLASS received the cold
shoulder, and the trump card Of the radicals
was thrown away. The truth is that this
radical Convention, which was gotten up to
Offset the National Union Convention, is q
miserable failure.
1t was made up, for the most part, of men
who have no hold upon the people either at
the North or the South. They were, for the
most part, set Of political adventures,
whose only right ~ to legislate upon national
affairs consists Of their hatred Of The PpEsr.
DENT and their hankering after the fesh-pots
Of Government patronage. 1t will be an in.
teresting sight to witness the figuring up the
profits and losses Of the hesh-pot Convention
by the radical leaders next week.

The President, in making his memorial pilgrimage
10 the tomb of Douglas political canvass, seems. in
spite of himself to have justified tho absence of an
official reception in two Republican cities he has
visited. But the reasons why Philadelphia could
not extend to him q dut;fll reception are
good reasons why our own municipality should.
With so much partizanship in bis favor in a
city which gathers the greatest crowd Of the CONT
mont, and which yields regularly its Democratic
harvest il must be generally admitted that the
popular reception of the President cold notwith-
standing the presence of Grant and Farragut. The
President and the Secretary, whatever may be pub
lcly due to their Offices, are greyousy wrong to ex-
pect otherwise. We cannot look for any re-
naming rise in the tide of their popularity
since the food gates of New-York have not opened
1t is therefore to be regretted that the President has
thought fit to open political campaign on his way to
Illinois.
Yesterday the President dined and made speech
before large number of wealthy entertainers. He
did not refrain from again treating Congress as Rebel
and from confirming the unwiSdom of many speeches
heretofore thought incorporate. His admirers are
welcome to question the policy and the necessity OF
course thus aggressive, but the President WILDE wiser
