Gov Wells address to the loyal people of
Louisiana, on the late riot, is very long.
After stating that more than three hundred

which led to it. He revises the action Of the

course and the concilhatory disposition he
brought to the administration of the Office TO

found consultative policy was not adapted
to that part of the people who had returned
from the ranks OF the rebel army; that he had
favored the reassembling of the Convention
of 1864 as the only means of securing the
adoption of the Constitutional amendment
passed by Congress, and thereby secure the
admission of Louisiana Representatives. in
Congress; that the riot was premeditated, and
that the police, after driving the niggers into
the Mechanics Institute, should have await
ed the appearance OF the military, when the
deliberate and horrible bloodshed which oc-
Cured would have been prevented
Washington specials say the claims Of sol
diers for money taken from them by rebel
authorities while prisoners Of war, will be re.
ceved until the first of October, and not
afterwards. Soldiers with such claims must
send their address to the Commissary Agent

PERsoNAL TO EDITORS.

NEW 10RK, aug. ..
It having become apparent that the origi
nal orders given for the use OF the atlantac
cable would not meet the views of the lead
ing press of the country, we yesterday tele-
graphed to our European agent to despatch
to us daily from 400to 600 words, though it
is not expected that the average will
exceed 100 to 200 words. All bills for
cable expenses will be based upon the actual
expense paid out AT present the wires cam
not be used except at double rates, or two
pounds sterling per word Of five letters. We
have reason to hope for a liberal contract with
Mr.. Field when he returns here in Sept.
The long winded and injudicious general
news thus far received by the cable was not
reported by the regular agent Of the press in
Europe. We shall soon get all really inter>
esting news in brief comprehensive reports,
for which alone the association, and agents,
and friends outside will be responsible. 1t is
not doubted that as spon Is the cable across
the Gulf of st. Lawrence is repaired the
regular reports will be received daily, for
both evening and morning papers.

Your Chicago Times man is not much of

late demonstration upon me contains more
falsehood than fan. Il presents me the OPP
portunity to say to as many citizens OF Iowa

Democracy, the less odious comparisons will
be made at his expense. Ii be thinks little
Of nine think less of his; and although
am not, like him, professional teacher Of
Democracy, have decency and consistency
enough not to recommend as he does, the
Democrats Of Iowa to support . full blooded
Abolition ticket, nominated by . set Of polits
ical Judases who have betrayed three parties,
aud only want a chance to betray fourth.

LIZ GRAND is too sensitive. That sale in,
volved the transfer of HEssy CLAY DEAN,
and there is enough Butternutism in him to
give Butternut caste to the whole s'nuorgan-

coald not have surpassed DEANS speech at

cept the fusion and work for it, LIE GRAND
need have no qualms Of conscience in giving
it hearty support if it suits DEAN. it would
be satisfactory to JEFF. DAVIS and the late
Southern Confederacy.
