AN INFAMOUS LIAR.-Buzzard Barnes, the
Blanket Thief, who was dismissed from the
army in disgrace, and who is now the leader
of the radical party in Rock Island county
and edits their disunion newspaper, says:
The democrats hereabouts also knew-some of
them-that Dickey would not be here.
The Blanket Thief when he made the
above statement, uttered an Infamous and an
outrageous falsehood.
Up to IL O'Clock on Monday forenoon,
when telegram was received from Colonel
Dlckey's son, saying that his father was too
unwsll on Sunday evening to venture the
night ride, no democrat had a possible doubt
that he would be here--and we venture to
say that the committee felt more grievously
disappointed than any other equal number
of men, because he did not come IF he was
able to ride and to go upon the stand, even if
he did not speak, we think he ought to have
done SO. If he was not, or if, by so doing,
he was in danger Of breaking down for the
balance of the campaign, then he acted right
ly in not coming. People who are disposed
to find fault can judge moro accurately when
they know all the facts. If Col. Dickey de-
serves censure let him be csnsured-but no
man shall say the committee were to blame
and get off without being branded as a liar
We do not suppose it affects any political
pFinclpto whether we had a speech from Col
Dlckey or Hon, John 2. Cook. Either can
make good speeches, and both advocate the
sa principles.

SAD AcclDENT.-On Saturday the 18Th
inst. John Warwick, of Aledo. while on his
way from this place to Aledo with q heavy
load of goods, when below Camden was
thrown from his seat on the load of boxes,
and it is thought one of the wagon wheels
passed over him. He was taken to " arren's
Creek, whore he remained until the next
dag. His father, upon learning the above
facts, immediately came up after him aud
finding him anxious to return home, started
on his journey. He seemed TO ride very
comfortably and expressed himself that he
felt no worse from the effects of it, until they
reached Sugar GROVE. About this time the
father noticed that his son was becoming
weaker, and continued to grow worse until
thor arrival home. He barely lived to reach
his heme-having died in few seconds after
ARRIVING.

THE disunion newspaper is trying hard to
prove that radical disun1on congress, hav-
ing over two thirds of both houses, is not re-
sponsible for passing an act giving them
selves about 1000 each The disunion news
paper claims that the democrats with less than
one-third of each house, are responsible tor
for passing the act This is about as good
as the general run of radical logic.

should do SO of everything he does Old
Walsh is mistsken-ss badly as be was
when he asserted that rebel states were not
represented in congress during the rebellion;
badly as he was when he said Judge
Thompson was fool or rogue as badly
as he was when he said democratic speakers
considered their audiences fools as badly as
ne was when he said the democrats were
rogues and fools; as badly as he was
when he said that nothing but the strong
arm of the law prevented the negroes from
rising above the whites as naturally as oil
rises above water! We always thought
highly of him as nsturalist-but as poll
tician we consider him the most unmtigatsd

has got no license to BLACKBOARD decent men

State Convention.

SARATOGA, n. Y, August Sat a meet
ing of the Union State Convention, held
here August 3, 1866, the following resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted
Re8OlUed, That the Union State Convex
ton be held at Syracuse on Wednesday, the
9th day of September next, at II o'clock
noon, for the nomination of candidates for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Canal Com
missioner, and Inspector of State Prisons,
to be supported at the next November cleo
ton; and that all Union electors of the State
of New York who desire the maintenance
of the Union, the supremacy of the Consti-
tuition, and the complete suppression of the
causes of the late rebellion, by all apparent
and efficient means, are invited to send from
each assembly a list ofsuch districts as they ex-
listed in 1863-three delegates to represent
them in said convention, such delegates to be
chosen at the convention called by re-
spective Union assembly district organiza-

that they intended to meet on the Both inst.
for the purpose Of altering the very Constitu-
ton that they have made and under which
the most of them held Office.
Further, by reference to the proceedings
of the Convention, you will perceive that
these very men had the power to grant the
rightsof franchise to colored people. They
had entire control Of the Convention, and
why not spare the blood Of these unfortunate
men, if guided by patriotic motives?
At the time advertised for the meeting Of
these men, the freedmen assembled in large
numbers with demonstrations tending to riot
The members Of the late Convention, to the
number Of twenty-five or thirty, proceeded to
the Mechanics Hall, and attempted to or
ganize it.
To this time it appeared but little or no
trouble had occurred and | think it most
likely but for a misunderstanding between
the the military and civil authorities, the
riot would have been at this point sup
pressed.
After defining the riots, the Judge said /:
l charge you, gentlemen, if any of these Of
lenses have been committed, all who shall
have made or knowingly assisted, are guilty
as principal, and as such are liable for
all criminal consequences. If any murder
or other felony was committed all present
cOuntenancing abetting, or assisting in the
execution of any unlawful purpose are guilty
as principals and all who counselled, hired
or procured it to be done, but were absent at
the committal, are guilty as accessories be-
fore the fact

HOW NEAR THE LAST CABLE EXPE-
DETION CAME TO BEING A FAIL
URE-AN ACCIDENT NOT FATAL.


HEARTS CONTENT, July 20, 1885, via
AsPY BAY, July 80, 1S66.-The following
are extracts from the journal of the Great
Eastern:
All vert well ustil 12:2o on the 18Th,
Greenwich time), when the first real shock
was given to the success that has hitherto
attended u.s. and this time we had real cause
to be alarmed. A foul flake took place in
the after-tank The engine was immediate
" turned astern, and the paying of the ca
bic stopped. We were all soon on the decks,
and learned that the running and paying
out of the coil had caught three turns of the
fake Immediately under it, carried them
into the eve of the coil, foulinG the toy-out
and hauling up one-half turns from the out
side, and five turns of the eye Of the under
flakes. This was stopped, fortunately,
before entering the paying-out ma
chimes; shoppers Of hemp, with chains,
were also put on near the wheel
astern, and Mr.. CANNING gave orders
to stand by TO let go the buoy. This was
not very cheering to hear; but, though the
calm and collected man gave US confidence
that his skill and experience would extricate
the cable from the danger in which it was
placed. no fishing line was ever entangled
more than the rope when thrust up in appa-
rently hopeless danger from the eye of the ca
bic to the deck. There were at least :, 900 feet
Of rope living in this state. and in the midst
Of the rain and increasing wind, the cable
crew set to work to disentangle it. The
Dolphin was there, too, patiently following
the lights as they showed themselves, the
crew now passing them forward and now aft,
until at last the character of the tangle was
haaar1Ra haf
long thecable would be saved and uniniured
down to the tank. Capt. ANDERSON was at
the taf-rail, anxiously watching the strain
on the rope 1--WE could scarcely make it out,
the night was so dark; endeavoring to keep
it up and down, going on raising with paddle
and screw.
When one reflects for moment upon the
rise of the ship, and the enormous mass she
presented to the wind, the difficulty Of keep
ing her stern, under the circumstances, over
the cable can be apprehended. The port
paddle-wheel was disconnected, but alter
wards there was q shift of wind, and the
vessel came to the wrong way. Welcome
voices were now heard passing the word aft
from the tank that the bights were cleared,
and to pay out.
Then the huge shoppers were quietly
opened. and at 2:O5 A. NJ, to the JOY Of all,
We were once more discharging the cable.
They veered il away in the tank to clear the
screw. and the paddle-eRgines were slowed so
as to reduce the speed Of the ship to four
and half knots. During all this critical
time there was entire absence Of noise or
confusion.
Every thing was silently done. aud the
cable men and crew worked with hearty
good will. Mr.. CANNING had experienced
foul flakes before, and showed that he knew
what TO do in the emergency; but what OF
the electrical condition Of the cable during
this period Simply. that through rs en-
tire length, il is perfect.

THE coNvExrroN TO-DAY.

We trust that the conservative citizens Of
Nashville will attend the Convention to-day
in full force. Delegates will be present
from Sumner, Williamson, Wilson and all
other counties comprising the district. 1t is
a fit occasion for a free interchange Of
opinions and sentiments in regard to the
proper means Of promoting the great work
to be set on foot at Philadelphia on next
Tuesday week, and it is the duty Of every
man to lend the encouragement Of his pres
ence and counsel in the initiatory steps.
This is a movement Of the people and for
the people, and the man who discerns the
critical situation Of affairs, and fails or re-
fuses to lend his hand in rectifying it, is re-
creant TO his highest public duty, and may,
ere long, be called to rue his negligence and
indifference.

Official Dispatches Concerning the
New Orleans Riots.

New YORK, August 3.-The following
official dispatches concerning the New Or
leans affair are published:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. c.,
August l, 1863.-To Hilbert Voorhies, Lieu
tenant Governor, and Andreig j. Heron, 1t
to77ley General, Ne1g Orleans: Were the
civil authorities, State or Federal, conferred
with by General BAIRD before he declared
martial law? Could not the civil authori-
ties, State and Federal, enforce the law and
preserve order with the aid of the military,
and without the necessity of martial law. l
hope that order has been restored and the
riot not as disastrous as reported. Please
show this dispatch TO General BAIRD.
(Signed) ANDREW JOHNSON.
In order that the following from General
SHERIDEN may be fully understood, it
should be stated that he was absent from
New Orleans when the disturbances COM
menced in that city.
New ORLEANS, August ITO GENERAL
U. S. GRANT Washington You are doubt
less aware of the serious riot which occurred
here on the 30th A poll tical body, styling
itself the Convention of 1864, met on the
90th, as it is alleged, for the purpose of re-
modelling the present Constitution of the
State. The leaders were political agitators,
and revolutionary men, The action of the
convention was likely to produce breaches of
the public peace. / had made up my mind
to arrest the head men if the proceedings of
the convention were calculated to disturb
the tranquility ofthe Department, but had
no cause for action until they committed the
overt act. About forty whites and blacks
were killed, and about one hundred and
sixty wounded. Everything is now quiet,
but deem it best to maintain a military
supremacy in the city for few days until
the affair is fully investigated 1 believe the
general sentiment of the community is great
regre. at this unnecessary cruelty, and that
the police could have made any arrest they
saw fit without sacrificing lives.
