The Philadelphia Convention shouted until
they cracked their threats over dispatch
read by Doolittle, announcing that Colorado
had elected copperhead delegate to Con-
gress. Later news shows that this announce
ment was premature, ChilicoIt the Radical
candidate being elected. The omen does MT
seem quite as prcpitious as it did.

They gathered at moment when they pre-
tended to believe the Republic WAS bang
ing on the verge Of ruin, its form of govern
ment being changed, its States being destroy
ed, and the night of Radical anarchy settling
down on the country. In their agony Of dis
tress at the peril of the nation, they shed bitter
tears, weeping as they remembered the grand
old times when southern slave holders and
northern doughfaces ruled the land, and the
Declaration of Independence was only "a gilt
tering generality" They solemnly, and in ST.
lence broken only by the cheers which burst
for from threats unused to shouting except a,
rebel victories, deliberated and acted to avert
the impeding danger. Finally, in gush OF
unanimous desire to save the Republic, they
adopted what President Johnson called the
second Declaration of Independence, and a
second proclamation OF Emancipation. Hav-
ing accomplished this magnificent work, beside
which the acts Of the great historical assemblies
of history sink into littleness the body adjourn
ed, and the next day We hear them at Wash
ington, hoarsely bawling through the White
House, =" Bread and butter, bread and butter
give US our bread and butter, or all our achieve
ments will be ridiculous fzzale." What an
eminently unsel6sh, patriotic, disinterested
body of statesmen this Philadelphia oonclave

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, Aug. ii, 1866.
To His Ercelleney .andre,o J. Hamilton. Pro-
visional Governor of TEXAS, .4sIstin, Teras !:
Sir: The time has arrived when in the judg-
ment of the President of the United States the
care and conduct of the proper affairs of the
State of Texas may be RENTED to the constitu-
tional authorities chosen by the people thereof
without danger to the peace and safety OF the
United States.
By direction of the President you are there
fore relieved from the trust which was hereto
fore reposed in you az Provisional Governor OF
the State of Texas.
Whenever the Governor elect shall have ac-
cepted and become qualified to discharge the
duties of the executive office, you will transfer
the papers and property of the State now in
your custody to His Excellency the Governor
elect.
You will please give me reply specifying the
day on which this communication is received.
have the honor to be your Excei!ency's
most obedient servant,
HENRY STANBERY,
Acting Sec'y of State.
The only thing noticeable in the above order,
is the contras. it presents to those sent to the
other provisional governors, which in every in
stance thanked those governors for their faith
full services. But Gov. Hamilton is not rem
egade Unionist, but still adheres to his original
, belief that treason should be made odious and
traitors punished. Andrew Johnson, through
his Secretaries, is profuse of thanks to the
Southerners who aid him in his policy of put
ting the original Unionists of the South under
the feet of the rebels, but he has no word of
belief that loyal man is better than traitor.

Soldiers National Convention.

Soldiers National Convention.
A score or more of the officers of the army,
who approve of President Johnson's policy of
making the Southern rebels as potent in the
government as these Union soldiers, have
called soldiers and sailors National Con-
vention at Cleveland, on the 18th of Sc ptem-
Der. The call for this convention expresses a
great deal of affectionate regard for, and en-
thusiastic admiration of, the Southern people
who have been SO long and vsliantly -
striving to destroy the government, and of,rs
the opinion that these rebels ought not,
and can not be expected to submit to be
treated as traitors, kept away from the bal
lot box, or prevented from electing rebel gen.
erals to places of responsibility in the gov
eminent.
The call for this cleveland Convention Is
not yet signed by Mcclellan aud Fltz John Por-
ter, or Beauregard or Lee, but as 1t is to be
an effort to do away all prejudice against
rebels why should mt rebels join in the call !
There will also be another call for a SOL
diers' and sailors National Convention at
ou euO --hSh VA O0PsOuOOA, oh0 she
movers of this are those followers of the flag
who have not yet forgotten Andersonyille
Salisbury aud Belle Isle, and who do not
yet agree that rebel is better than Union
man. On Monday last, at a meeting of a
g Soldiers and Sailors Union" of Washing
ton, the following preamble and resolution
were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, A few of our comrades are
making pre- parations for a convention, to be
exclusively composed of soldiers and sal lors
who endorse and coincide with The RECONSTRUCT
ton policy of the President and the acts and
opinions of the Philadelphia convention and
| WHEREAS, We believe that the soldiers and
sailors who take this view of our national
affairs are but an Insignificant minority Of the
men who have defended the republic in the
field; therefore,
Resolrsd, That a committee OF one from
each State be and the same is hereby ap-
pointed, with power to fill vacancies in their
number, to Issue call for and arrange the
details of national convention, to be COM
posed of delegates selected by all the soldiers
and sailors who have rendered honorable ser

late war for the suppression of the rebellion

d" We recognize most cordially the con-
sentative spirit and objects of the convention,
and we believe that the effect of its delibera-
tons will be immensely to strengthen the
g,eat popular movement which is destined
soon to overwhelm utterly the Radical fac
ton. If it accompllshes this good end, it
will not have met In vain. We have no votes
and all we can do is to look ON quietly, wish
ing success to the conservative phalanx, blu,
declining, at the same time, to ratify what il
not true, or to reward. by Ovations, our own
very Improbable servants, who have paid
half fare to Philadelphia, and done less than
half work.

REPORT OF DELEGATEs-An informal
meeting of the Board of Mayor and AL
dermen was held last evening, when the
delegates representing the Mayor and
Aldermen of the city,, the Chamber of
Commerce, and the city of Memphis,
appointed to proceed to ST. Louis and
invite President johnson and suite to
accept the inequalities of the city OF
Memphis, reported that they have per-
formed the dnty assigned them They
were received by the President and Sec
rotary Seward most cordially, both gen
tlemen expressing an earnest desire to
comply with our wishes, could matters
be SO arranged as not to interfere with
arrangements already made, and request
ing a second interview with the dele
gates at later hour in the day and
that during the interval the subject
would be taken iH1o consideration. At
the appointed hour, another pleasant
and satisfactory in terview was held and
the conclusion rea, .hed that, inasmuch
as route had alre ady been laid out,
involving several st oppages, but all d.
rectly on the way to Washington, where
public business requi red the immediate
presence of the Presi, lent and most of
his suite, it would be nexpedient to de-
part from that route at this time. The
positive assurance was, however, given
by the President and Sec retary Seward,
that within few weeks, when the ext
gencies of the public servi. ,e would doubt
less permit, they would be pleased to &C

city and citizen and, pay us visit

TIE BOARD OF HEALTH AID JUDGE
LEONARD. The Board of Health held a
meeting yesterday evening for the pur-
pose of receiving the report Of the com
mittee appointed to confer with Judge
Leonard in reference TO u more extended
jurisdiction of their sanitary regulations.
The committee reported that. so far as
the object to be attained is concerned,
they have most signally failed. They
were unable to get Judge Leonard to
meet them until yesterday when he kept
them waiting two hours. Upon his ar
rival the following interrogatories were
propounded to him: lst Will you give
the necessary material aid to carry out
the indications suggested? I'd The ma
terial aid required is official sanction of
the appointees of the Secretary of the
Board of Health in carrying out such
sanitary regulations as the payment OF
the bills necessarily incurred in the
premises; such as burying the dead,
paying the police department and all
expenses of medical attendance, such as
the emergency may demand; providing
medicine for the sick and the necessary
disinfecting of the regions where the
cholera prevails or may prevail
His answers were evasive, equiv
ocal and entirely unsatisfactory.
Judge Leonard promised to meet the
committee again, but instead of doing
so, sent them communication, stating
that he had appointed County Board
of Health. After considerable debate
the following res olution was adopted by
the Board, and Drs. Irwin, Keller, Cav
enagh, Otey and Erskin appointed the
committee.
Resolued, That in view of the fact that
the Hon. Judge Leonard has refused TO
cooperate with the Board of Health for
the proper sanitary measures necessary
to the healthfulness of the city, and
really seems disposed to throw obstacles
in the way of its action, committee of
FIVE from this Board be appointed to me-
morialize the quarterly County Court in
session on Monday next, asking their CO.
operation in the matter.
