JOHN MINOR BorTs.-This gentleman,
who belongs to that class called Union
men of the South, Us well as " loyal" has
written another letter-a notice of which
was t~elegraphed from Washington re-
cently-and this time on the immediate
subject which now excites the country.
The letter was first published in the Rich.
mond Republic, of Saturday, the Sd Of
March. In that letter he says:
I am not one of those who entertain the
opinion that Mr.. johnson has intended,
or means now, to make any concessions
to the Copperheads of the North, or the
Coppertails Of the South. To the credit Of
human nature, be it said, that our history
has furnished not even one instance Of
such revolving turpitude and depravity as
would be exhibited by his regeneration
at such a time as this, and under such cir
cumstances as now exist.
This is true. Our history has fur.
nished no instance not even one in.
stance"-of such revolving turpitude and
depravity rs would be exhibited by the
President, should he go over to the side
Of Copperheads and their friends of the
South, the late rebels against the Govern
ment. Not even Burr's treason, nor the
rebellion itself, nor any of its leaders,
could equal the revolving turpitude and
depravity " of such conduct. jeff. Davis
would be a patriot and James Buchanan
a saint, compared to Andrew johnson,
should he do what is now feared by many
he has attempted to do and still intends tc
do-to restore the rebels to power, instead
Of the " loyal men" Of the South, and to
wrest the control of the Federal Govern
ment from the hands Of the Union party
of the countryside party which carried
on the war for the Union, sustained the
Government and elected him to the Presi-
dency-and place it in the hands Of its
enemies, the rebels of the South and their
sympathizers and allies, the Copperheads
of the North! But, we trust, Andy
johnson will do no such thing.

THE LAW OF COMMON CARRIERS.

A case has recently been decided in Olh-
cinnati which involves several disputed
points with regard to the liability Of rail-
road companies and steamboat owners for
passengers baggage, when lost or destroy
ed. In September, 1866. the steamer
General Buell. was destroyed on the OHIO
river, and the suit referred to was brought
by a lady passenger to recover the value
Of her baggage, contained in two trunks,
which had been destroyed. The Court
laid down several principles, upon which
it awarded the lady $3.50 damages. A
common carrier is bound to provide a
place of safety for baggage-the safest
place on the train or boat-and If accident
happens the carrier is liable, unless the
accident occurred by causes out Of the
power of human prudence, action or
science to prevent. When baggage is re-
ceived on o boat or car without weighing
or examination by the officers, they arc
responsible for it to its full value. When
a limit is imposed as to the number OF
pounds of baggage that can DO carried for
each passenger, and the officers receive it
without question, and it exceeds this
weight, the railroad or steamboat CON-
pany is still responsible. As to what a
passenger may carry as baggage. the ruling
is equally explicit. Anything may be
carried that the owner is by birth or edu-
cation accustomed to consider necessary
wearing apparel. If accustomed to wear
ing expensive clothing, the passenger has
a right to carry it. In regard to jewelry,
the Court decided that the traveller had the
right to carry it as baggage, provided ii
was in small parcels, and Of the kind in
common use-not, Of course, O tiara Of
Jewels or pearls, worth thousands OF dol
lars-but such jowelry as was appropriate
to the adornment Of q person in gentee
society. The ruling is thus seen to bt
agains. the carrier and in favor Of the pas
sengers, and this case is only another add.
ed to the series constantly decided for thu
protection of the travelling public. In this
case the value Of the contents of the two
trunks of the lady was set down at about
two thousand dollars. Several dresse:
had cos. from $50 to $3.50 each, and ar
ticles of fine underclothing, that were III
the trunks by dozens, had cost from $l(
to $l2 each. The verdict was Of nearly
the full value of her claim.

The President will Enforce the Civil
Rights Bill.

Prominent friends Of the President say
that he will enforce the Civil Rights Bill
in good faith; quoting the remark that he
having exercised his constitutional prerog-
alive in vetoing the bill, and Congress
having exercised it, ~prerosative in passing
it, he should feel bound by their action.
These gentlemen also express the belief
that having seen the power of Congress,
and with what unanimity it is sustained
by the party, no ,oia moo endeovor to con-
form his action 90 that there may Be har-
n,ony 6ettoeen them.
General Howard will, under verbal in
structions from the President, issue circu-
lars to his subordinates apprising them Of
the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, and
instructing them to inform freedmen Of its
provisions, and to assist in maintaining
them.

GERMAN REgONsTRucT1oN.

Quite alone among the papers Of this city,
almost alone among the papers of the country,
the CRESCENT predicted the success of Prussia
in the war which is now approaching its ter
mination. Still later, when the FIRST proposals
for an armistiee were made and it was the
general opinion that French and Russian in
tervention would deprive Prussia of the sub
stantial fruits of her magnificent victories, the
CRESCENT intimated that the latter power
would not consent to any arrangement except
one which would guarantee the eonsummation
of her programme of German organization
Events have demonstrated the correctness of
our views. France has not seen fit to press
her proposals to the point of armed interven-
ton, and Russia is chary OF meddling in a
quarrel in which she might suffer humiliation
instead of achieving glory. Theresult is, that
in the concise language of the telegraph
'tPrussia has carried all her points. Those
points were submitted to the German Diet
Just before Prussia seeded and, of course,
were never acted on. They became simply
the objects of the war on the part Of Prussia
the objects which relieved the invasion of
Au5tIld HUH It's AVA
the conquest or subiugation of the opposing
power If Prussia shas carried all her
| points" the statement means not only that
Austria has been compelled to resign her
headship of the German confederation but
that she ceases entirely to be German. She
must retire from the confederation and change
her character to suit her new conditions and
her altered relations. That is to say, eeasing
to be German she becomes Slavonic. She
loses her imperial prestige as the modern
representative Of the empire Of Char
Iemange and Of Charles v, and her
emperor can no longer claim descent from the
Caesars who once governed the world. by re-
firing from Germany, she bids farewell to
many Of her most cherished traditions, and is
forced to relinquish the naughty position which
she held as the successor of Rome, and of Con
stantinople The new German confederation
which includes all Of the North German States
will be essentially Prussian. Prussia will be
not only the leading, but the dominant power
of central Europe. The little States, which
part, in effect, with their independence, will
be merged in that greater State, which repre-
sents the aspirations the hopes and the char
acter of Germany To what changes this rev
olution may lead, no one can predict butthis
much seems clear-that Prussia has won the
victory, not by means Of the needle-gun, by
the greater skill Of her generals the greater
ability Of her statesmen, and the greater inteli-
gence Of her people. She represents the adj
vancing spirit Of the age; the enlightenment
and civilization Of the nineteenth century, in
opposition to the retrogressiye spirit and effete
policy of her predecessor. She may for the
moment, be despotic; but she has intelligence,
movement, life; and these are qualities which
must win in the future history of the world.

agreed upon between Gen. Baird and The lien
tenant governor hat whatever warrant Of an est
might be placed in The hands Of The sheriff would
he submitted to him before any attempt TO have IL
executed; and TINT upon the Endorsement Of the
generals objections the matter would be submit
ted to the President.
The mayer beng informed of this arrangement
sent but small police force to the vicinity OF the
hall; and the troops, that were to act ia conjunc
ton with the police, were eagerly expected.
At noon, Information having reached the leu
tenant governor that in the Third District there
was commencement of etloryescence, and that
large numbers of negroes were coming towards
Canal street from above and below, he mmedi-
ately sent dispatch to the general conveying this
intelligence ana urging that the troops be sent
without delay. About one hour afterwards the
riot broke out, ending in the dispersion of the con
vention, the capture Of the rioters, including
several members of this body.
It is not our purpose to argue the question of
fact as to the actual commencement of the collision
and TO fix precisely the mode and manner in which
it originated. We will however, remark that the
collision was in every instance brought about by
the armed mob sustaining the convention. Suffice
il to say that the civil authorities took all the pre-
cautions possible to prevent the outbreak; that
they applied during three days previous to have
the aid of the military to preserve order at the
place where was to meet the convention; that the
authorities, State and municipal, had come to an
understanding to act i'll concert with the military
for that purposes that tile citizens, no more than
the police contemplated to prevent the convention
to hold their meeting peaceably and adjourn and
dispense uumolested and that the warrant for
their arrest would have been submitted to the mill
tary, as agreed upon although the Presidents dis
patch to the lieutenant governor and the subse-
quent one to the attorney general were imperative
that the military must sustain and not thwart the
courts. ..-.
The military authorities have been, for the three
days previous to the riot in constant communica
ton with the attorney general, the lieutenant
governor and the mayor, with the view Of pre-
yentinE the impending riot. These efforts We're
unsuccessful, and could not counterfeit the effects
Of the incendiary counses and appeals Of those
who, from sinister purposes, had had in view this
very result in order to reap a political harvest.
That the civil authorities have done their duty ia
this respect is patent; that more could have been
done by them was impossible, as they were nut
allowed to remove the cause of the riot, by taking
the proper means TO prevent the meeting Of the
convention; aul We doubt not for moment that
the military commander himself will ba the first
