Clubs Defined by an Office
Holder.

Hon. A. G. Sands, United States Mar
shall of the Southern District of Ohio, in
reply to the circular Of the National
Union (Johnson) Club, concerning the
Philadelphia Convention and its objects,
gets off the following:
You call Union Convention over
the heads of the Union Committee, and
do it as a club. You do it at time when
no Federal officer is about to be elected,
and when Congress is about to adjourn.
As nearly as can make out from the call
YOU think Congress Is rather too narrow a
contrivance to represent the country, and
so you propose to supplant it by club.
Not feeling sure that a club might not be
a larger thing than l had imagined, l
looked to the last edition of Webster's
Dictionary to get the latest information.
He says the original sense is "to split,
divide" hence an association where they
split or divide expenses is called club.
1t would be hardly fair, in the work you
have proposed, to suppose your club is
intended merely to divide expenses. Be-
ing a Union Club it is probably to split
or divide the Union, or the Union Party,
or the offices of the Union. Club, is a
verb intransitive, Webster says, means
"to form Club to combine for the pro
motion of some common object"
aThe owl the raven and the bat
Clubbed for feather to his hat"
To club a mnsket is, he says, Ito turn the
brsech uppermost' Clubbish, he says,
means rough rude, clownish, disposed to
associate together-as clubbish set of
persons Club. haul, he says, means to
put on another tack tby dropping an an

comes up to it cutting the cable. Club
head-'having a thick head
"There is some uncertainty how to ap-
ply these dictionary explanations. Cour-
tesy forbids the supposition that any
member of your Club wishes 'tor feather
in his hat or wishes to turn his 'breech
uppermost,' or after casting anchor with
the Union party, intends to 'cut the ca
ble,' But still the thing to be split and
divided is the thing to inquire for. When
a few men in Washington feel competent
to represent all the States in the Union
we must not be disappointed to see some
thing split. Esop tells the story of a
frog which tried to represent an OK. In
that instance it was not the OK which
split, but the frog. Still | have no doubt
if the frog could have gone through the
operation he might have made nice
thing of it. | do not wish to discourage,
but only asa brother Office holder to sug-
gest care and prudence. When the frog
commenced the transaction referred TO,
no doubt he was inspired by a fine glow
Of enthusiasm. How he felt after it was
oyer, the story does not relate"

depended. AIaggiefs Pills are not of she

and no reaction in the form of constipa-
tion. If the liver is Affected its func-
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicate fe-
males. Ulccrous and eruptive Diseases

At one time there was quite difference
between members of our party, in refer
ence to he policy being pursued by Mr..
Johns on, some sustaining and others re-
jecting it. This, however, was before he
unmaskcd himself His 22d of Febru-
ary speech changed the minds of many.
His various veto messages, including hi:
rolunfcer message on the constitutional
Amendment, had good effect on others;
but the wanton butchery Of New Orleans
seems to have been necessary to open the
eyes of some. The difference that had
existed was mainly confined, in our coun
ty, to this borough. 1t is with pleasure,
therefore, that We arc able to say to our
county friends (who have so often inquir-
ed of us) that we are all of one mind
again. To our knowledge, there is not
an avowed johnson man in the place, out.
side the Democracy, (and it's quite un
certain whether they will deem it wise to
stand by him much longer). Those among
us who were the most cool, now seem ii
possible, the most ardent for vigorous
ca mpaign, and for the reelection Of Il
Republican Congress.

For the CtuLe1
Mr.. EDITOR "A correspondent in
your paper last week gives your readers
an account of rather disgraceful oc.
curreuce which took place in this -Bor-
ough some two weeks ago. With much
that is there said | agree. But | must
dissent from the reflections cast upon
some Of our peace officers. AS a class,
| belive they do their duty about as faith
fully as most officers do,-at least the
Justices. Such officers can only live up
to public opinion. Whenever they at
tempt to go beyond this, they only make
enemies without any corresponding good
resulting to the community.
Nor do | entertain the worst opinion
for those young men and boys who have
thus behaved 50 badly. Some of them
are, generally speaking, quiet, orderly
young men ; and were they sober, would
be the last individuals in town to disturb
anybody.
The secret of this matter, as it seems
to me is this, that few or those persons
who have been making their profit on
the traffic in intoxicating drinks, arc
anxious to have it understood that the
want Of License is no protection from
intemperance. And for this reason an
effort is made to exhibit as bad state
of intemperance as possible, supposing
that it would be laid to the charge of
the Restaurants, and that the Court an6
the people will finally conclude to issue
License as heretofore Whether they
are aware of it or not, it is known fact
that the Restaurants have not been the
cause of all the disorder which we have
been compelled to witness. The court

The Harrisburg Convention.

The Democracy, in their desperation
called convention of soldiers to meet at
Harrisburg The following letter from
Captain Gillespie will give some idea of
how the call for said convention was got
ten up, and also that the soldiers who are
willing to follow in the lead of Clymer
are very few. We venture the assertion
that ninc-tenths of tho names attached
to that call entertain the same sentiments
as contained in the following letter:

Riot ut New-Oricans.

One of the most wanton, unprovoked
and cruel riots that has ever occurred in
this country, took place in New Orleans,
on the 30th ult. In order to form any
thing like an understanding of this bloody
tragedy, it is necessary to take view of
the situation in Louisiana, past and
present.
In louisiana as in all the rebel States,
there was small squad of patriots who,
during the darkest days Of the National
cause, stood true to the cold flag" who
never for moment, swerved in their pa
triotic devotion to the Union. Many of
these we're ban;shed from their homes
and their States, by the dominant rebel
power that at times held sway in that
treason cursed country. AS the country
was wrested from rebel rule by the valor
of the Union arms, these exiles returned
and generally took an active part in the
work of reorganization. This was the
case in Louisiana. New Orleans, and with
it a large portion of the State, fell into
tho possession of Gen. Butler, in the
spring of '62 Many of the loyal citi-
zens of that city, who had been absent
returned, and commenced the work Of
restoration Several efforts were made
of which we have no time now to take
notice. Finally in '64, under the direc-
tions of Mr.: Lincoln, call was issued by
the Military Governor, for an election for
delegates to meet in State Convention to
form constitution preparatory to the
restoration of the State to her former
status in the Union. This constitution,
We believe, was ratified by the people of
the State, and under it State officers, and
a Legislature were elected, in whose keep
ing the State organization thus effected,
still is.
Before the Convention of '6l adjourn
ed, it passed resolution authorizing the
Chairman to call it together again, when
ever he thought it necessary to do so.
An election took place last spring in
New Orleans, for Mayor, which resulted
in the choice of Ex-Mayor Monroe-the
same that surrendered the city to Gen.
Butler in '62, and an inveterate rebel
As soon as his election was known, the
loyal authorities communicated the fact

instructed as to whether he should be al

piring to the position he had once dis
graced by his treachery but to tie dis
may of patriots and surprise of all, Mr..
johnson answers these inquiries by send
ing Monroe his pardon, and instructing
that he should not be interfered with =
From that hour, loyalty seems to have
been doomed in Louisiana Traitors

of persecution. The situation was be-
coming more and more unbearable. The
laws for the regulation of the black pop
