Explains and Begs Pardon.

Iu the recent abolition Congressional
Convention held at Alliance in this State
on the 10th day of August, the two follow
ing resolutions were passed;
"Resolred, That the Union party of this
Congressional District heartily oppose the
late Congressional legislation which in
creased the pay of Senators and members
of Congress from $3.O00 to $1,000 per an
mum, while the claims of soldiers and sail
ors, who nobly perilcd their lives in the
late war to put down rebellion. were slight
ed by an apology for bounty bill which
g ;ves satisfaction to no one.
''ReSoired, That the candidates before
this Convention be separately called upon
to pledge themselves to make all honorable
efforts to procure the repeal of the act in
creasing the salaries of Senators and Con-
gressmen, and procure the enactment Of Il
law equalizing the bOunties of soldiers and
sailors upon just and equable principles
Gen. ECKLEY then came forward aud
made an apology: Said he had voted for
the law to give the money to the soldiers;
was opposed to increasing pay ofCongress-
men. and would vote for the repeal.
After making his apology and pledge, he
was re-nominated, "amid noise and con-
FUSION" by only nine majority.
Upon an examination of the Congression-
nj Globe it win be found that Gen. ScHENCK
with characteristic bluntness" ~ voted
yes on both propositions. SO he has no
apologies to make.
The trouble with the resolutions is that
they do not go far enough. The most OBJ
jcctionablc feature in the increase of salary
was voting themselves the increase for the
present term. ECKLEY should have been
pledged to refund to the conscience fund.-
the extra pay. Aud that is what ScHENcK
should be pledged to do--to repeal and re-
fund. These ought to be the watchwords

The Journal Illustrated.

The Journal of this morning is illustra-
ted in very artistic style, First, there is
a graphic display of the manner in which
the editor ''shows his teethn at the Phila-
dclphia Convention; second, fine line en-
craving of the manner in which he ''skee-
daddled" from the first smell of gunpow
der, while an 'army reporter" third, fac
simile of his change of countcnance when
he heard that Massachusetts and South
Carolina had entered the Convention arm
in-arm. The portraits are all true to the
life-no counterfeit presentments." They
are regarded by everybody as the perfec-
tion of art in that peculiar line especially
the hdi
We may add, in this connection, that the
Journal man has neglected several other
characteristics of the fine arts in his line

slime; the skunk, with his odor; and the

II has not been forgotten that Congress
made an appropriation Of SlO0,O00 for
Capt. Fox, Assistant Secretary OF the Navy.
to sail over TO Europe, IN the Monitor
"Miantonomah,' y aud present eongratuls-
tlons from the American Government, to
ALEXANDER, Of Russia, ON his late escape
from assassination; after which he pur-
posed splurging about IN European waters,
70 show one Of cur formidable and invinci-
BILE war monsters 10 the admiration of the
eilete old country. From what the Army
and Nary Journal says both vessel and
Commander are humbugs. That paper
says.
The log Of the Minptonomah, which we
published two weeks ago, shows that she
was towed during a greater portion of the
voyage across the Atlantic"
That might have been overlooked &c the
Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday last, had
not volunteered this additional exposure:
Captain Fox omitted to mention this
| trifling fact IN his report of the trip, which
he said had not only established the ability
OF the monitors to cross the ocean, but that
they were superior to the old class ofvessels
for cruisers. besides being vastly more COM
Portable to officers and men.
This sca-going triumph appears to have
required two powerful wooden ship-rigged
steamers, lghtencd OF everything not
needed for short voyage, IN order 10 carry
coal enough for this labor, and the monitor
stripped TO the same necessity. In order to
take her across the Atlantic, between the
nearest ports, In the mildest month of the
year, aud in the course of the prevailing
winds.
Nearing port, Captain Fox casts off the
towing lines, and presents the monitor to
the admiring world MS having crossed the
ocean on her own bottom, aud sends back II
glowing account of her speed, easy going
and capacity for independent cruising re-
porting for himself aud all hands on all
three vessels, and saying nothing of the
tritle of towing nearly all the way by two
vessels of a class that he says the monitor
greatly cXcels in sea-goipg qualities.
Thus this Jeremy Diddler goes about
Europe with his swindling sea-going feat,
and tries to draw other naval powers into
building monitors, to get foreign indose-
ment to cover up the terrible blunder of our
navy department in sinking sum of money
that ought to have given us "A navy for the
war and for permaneney, in nthese machines
that occupied nearly all the years Of the
war in building, and were formidable to
nothing but their own crews when built

An Easy six Thousand.

Ross the Radical editor of a Kansas pa
per, who was appointed to FIJI the vacancy
in the United States Senate caused by the
death of Senator LANE, had good thing.
He hurried Off to Washington, got there on
the 25th OF July, and was Immediately
sworn in. On the 2Sth Congress adjourned,
and he can start back again with snug
sum for pay and mileage, amounting to
nearly $4,000. He will probably be super
eeded by a regular election when the Leg
islature meets, but he has got his pay for
three days service at the rate of about So
900 day.
No one will pretend to deny, and expect
to receive credit for candor, that he was
appointed for any other purpose than to
have him provided with that nice little
pile of the Peoples green-backs. 1t is
exactly in the moral line of the Congress
vote to increase the pay of members from
three thousand to six thousand dollars per
year. Gouging, robbing and swindling
have been cultivated by Black Republican
oflce-holders and managers till it has be-
come modern science.

a Threatencd CivII War.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the boldcst
and ablest OF Radical Journals, thus fore
shadows contingency and 10 intended
consequences
"It seems probable that the South VIII
not accept the mild terms offered 10 them
IN the Constitutional Amendment. IL they
do not IL will be clear duty of The present
Congress % lay the Az at the root of AM
drew Johuson's Provisional Governments,
and reOrganiz0 them on the basis of Impair
tial suffrage. There will be no war Of
races then. Instead Of it there will be re-
spect for law, and submission to Il. Gen.
Grant knows how to establish and execute
anything which the law making power
may enact without leaving any war of
races In his track"
There Is no reticence or ambiguity In
this. If the Southern States fail to ratify
the Constitutional Amendment which has
been submitted to them, their right to self
government is to be tramplcd Under FOOT
their constitutional right to regulate the
suffrage annulled, and their entire machin-
cry of Government TO be reconstructed ac-
cordiug to the Radical model. This is
what the Chicago Tribune threatens. And
we know no journal that is better iniopned
AS TO the Radical plans or more likely to
be intrusted with their promulgation.
From another Radical source we have
kindred threat through the Cincinnati Com
morciai, from one "lyN. NJ. D." whom we
recognize as the sclf-renowned oh'dge Dick
son--who ends a formidable review Of Hon.
Mr.. EwING's late letter with this Kind of
gaseous talk
Remembering the position of its author,
eminent rs a public man, eminent as a law
yer, the patriarch of the most powerful
family IN the State, of close relationship To
the President and a delegate to the john
son Philadelphia Convention, his letter be-
comes a fact of ominous import. Il means
war TO the knife upon Congress. The issue
Is no longer merely upon the Constitutional
Amendment but is far more reaching. IL
Is this, shall the President drive Congress
from the Capitol, if 1t does not uncoudition-
ally submit to his dictation? SO the Union
party enters the political campaign of
this fall, as of the fall of 1850, with the
threat of civil war hanging over it. For no
man is weak enough to suppose that the
Union party, which elected Lincoln in 1860,
and successfully carried through the great
war for the Union, will desert Congress,
which has so uobly stood by the principles
Of that party, In the face Of the opposition
OF dlsloyal elements, and of the treachery
OF the President. No, sir, the attempt of
the President to drive Congress from the
Capitol, will produce civil war far more
fearful than that inauguratcd by the firing
upon sumter. These threats will not deter
the Union party from the performance of
its duty. IL is too late now to attempt to
operate upon its fears IL was strong enough
10 put down the rebellion; it is strong
enough to dictate the terms of settlement.
This shall not be done by those who all
along opposed the war.
When Judge w. NJ. DIXON shoulders his
musket to fight for Congress, ''may we be
there to see"

A Vacancy i'm Kentucky.

We learn from the Cincinnati Commer-
cidI that General G.. CLAY SMITH, Repre-
sentative from the Covington, Kentucky
(SiXth) District, having resigned, Governor
BRAMLETTE has ordered special election
to be held on the 10th of September, to fill
the vacancy. The district gave DUvALL
(Democrat), about six thousand majority
at the recent State election. Colonel II. b.
CARPENTER win be the Administration can
didate and the Democrats will probably
run Hon. JNo. w. STEVENSON or JNo. G..
CARLISLE.
CARPENTER in Congress Well, were It
in contemplation TO retain in that body
such political complexion as 1t has lately
shamed the world with, such pestiferous
strumpet rs CARPENTER would be most
proper addition to it. He would be in per-
feet harmony with all the vile element of
that now national pest-house.
CARPENTER Possesses more than an aver
age talking talent no moral or social repu-
tation TO weaken him in the regards of
such men as THAD. STEVENS; and would
challenge the admiration of the devil for
the unblushing effronteries that have dis
tiuguished the infamy of his long career of
political apOstacies.
On a notable occasion, we remember, he
made speech in Covington, in which he
loudly affirmed that he would "yote tor a
quadroon, an octoroon, or anything at all,
before a Rebel" He had made a loud no.
toriety by his intimacies with the good
looking wife of neighbor PERKINS, greatly
TO the indignation of the husband, who
sent one or two pistol balls after his rap
idly retreating legs, one of which took eff
feet in the neck. Growing patriotieally
warm and enthusiastic before his audience,
alluding TO the attack on Fort Sumter, he
broke forth:
"Who is responsible for this WARP Who
fired the first guRY"
