The Loyal Southern Convention.

The curtain has fallen on the Copper
head Convention. The Do-little farce is
over, and it's actors have retired behind
the scenes. A more serious drama comes
next. On the third of Sept. q Conven-
ton of Southern Union men is to meet
in Philadelphia; and every American
who loves his country and hates treason
will heartily sympathize with this effort
of men who have been tried in the fur
mace of affliction and not found wanting.
There are no Confederate Vice Presi-
dents, Generals, Colonies, Congressman
or Governors among them. They are
the men who, by their steadfast loyalty,
have earned the right tO.take the front
seats in the restored Union. They are
the men who suffered everything during
and whom Andrew johnson has turned
over, in the moment of victory, to be
dealt with by rebel mobs thirsting for
their blood. These exiled and persecut-
ed Unionists had fondly, believed that
Andrew johnson was the man to strike
. terror into tho hearts Of traitors and se-
cure life and limb and some small meas
ure of peace to loyal men, But John
sons completely with UNPUBLISHED reb-
els, and his traitorous abandonment OF
the party which elected him, have con-
WINGED themNof the impossibility of liv-
ing under his reconstructed govern
ments. The abandonment Of these loyal
Southerners was the browning outrage
Of the apostate President. The City OF
Brotherly Love is preparing to give the
prosecuted loyalists of the South kind
reception, and it will be done with q
right good will.-LHi. Isib. III. S@f

negro suffrage in any degree +; but let
us tell them it Is always wise to accept
the inevitable when the inevitable
comes. Negro suffrage, we say, Is in
eVitable ; and whether It shall be quail
ified or universal, depends upon the
promptness or otherwise with which
the Democratic party shall move with
reference to 1t. The South will speedi-
ly yield qualified negro suffrage upon
the motion of the Democratic party,
becouse if for no other reason she will
soon see, if she does not already see,
that if she do not yield she ultimately
will be compelled to accept universal
suffrage. Qualified negro suffrage
yielded by the South, and by this we
mean impartial suffrage, or suffrage de-
pendent upon the intelligence of the
man, irrespective Of color, as IS now
the rule IN Massachusetts,, the negro
question viii have been disposed of,
and the occupation of the Northern
Republican party viii be gone forever.
If the South be wise 1t will not wait
on this suffrage question even for the
motion of the Democratic party. 1t
It be wise it viii loose no time in put
ting In motion the necessary machine
~ by which it will, at the same time,
save itself from humiliation pre-
serve its own self-respeet 4; rid the
country of the most vexatioUs qUes-

can never be efaced. We looked upon
it as an entrance to dreadful inearee-
ration In the gloom and slime Of mys-
terious dungeons portal awful in
its terrors as that described by Milton

There seemed an unwashed stain of
guilt on its dingy walls, an ancient
dread about its cobwebbed windows

deviltry in It's rickety cupola and mar

US seemed to brood about the place,
reminding one of Hoods haunted

IF the gossipy newspapers around US

the prison, but if they keep up this
unpleasant agitation, it is not unlikely
that we shall ere long have a genuine
new court house with all its attendant
harrors in our midst. Our people can
stand moderate amount of tantaliz-
ing, but there is a point beyond which

That point reached, we shall have a

The National IgtegEigencer, John
sons organ, charges the responsibility
for the New Orleans riot on Secretary
Stanton. who, 1t alleges, received Gen.
Baird's dispatch asking for instrue-
tions two days before the riot, but
failed to transmit it to the President
until weeks afterwards. The LateEyi-
gencer undertakes to say farther that
if Mr.. Stanton had faithfully perform
ed his duty in this respect the riot new
er would have occurred. Be this as it
may, it would have been far better for
Mr. Johnson's reputation had he ia
ken prompt and efficient measures to
punish the authors of the riot. But
the fact that he has not visited justice
upon a single one of the perpetrators
Of this foul slaughter leaves ample
room to suspect that he eonnived at
and encouraged their villianies from
the beginning.
