Grant and Farragut.

1t will be seen by our dispatches this
morning, that Admiral Farragut, the gal
liant old tar who took New Orleans and run
the rebel batteries of Port Hudson and Mo
bile, is ashamed of the bad company he is
compelled to keep. In his speech at Del
ronicos, he took pains TO state distinctly
that he was invited to accompany the
President TO the West" and that he was
taught in that good old school where an
invitation from his COmmander-in-C Chief
was always a pleasant duty to perform. -
In other words, the invitation of the Ad-
mlrals superior officer was regarded as a
command, and he has become so ashamed
OF his company, since Johnson turned the
journey into rebel electiOneering tour.
that he feels it necessary to disclalm all re-
sponsiblity for the disgraceful exhibition.
of which he forms an unwilling and invol-
untary part. He evidently fears that even
his reputation for loyalty will suffer before
the country. unless he washes his hands of
the reasonable sentiments proclaimed by
Johnson.
General Grant intimatcs very plainly in
his brief speech that ii was agreed and I'M
derstood before the party left Washington,
that the President was not To make anv
speeches. OF course the President would
keep no such promise, particularly after
partaking of Dclmonico's wine; and it be
came necessary for General Grant to throw
out this broad hint, that in making stump
speeches for the rebels, the President was
acting in bad faith. and that but for the
agreement to keep still. he would not have
accompanied him. The attempt 10 drag
Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut into the
support of the rebel cause. under the guise
of a pleasure excursion, will not succeed

humiliation and Degrada-
fiOn

Senator Dixon said. in his speech at the
Connecticut Convention, to elect delegates
to the Randall, Philadelphia Assembly:
The plan proposed by Congress is before
you. II proceeds upon The ground Of eompcA-
inq the Sta,es ately in rebellion 10 submit to hu.
initiating and degrading terms"
What are those terms? First, that they
shall not have gained political power in the
Government by the rebellion. Second, that
those who violated their oaths to the Con-
stitution shall not be eligible to Office unite
Congress removes the disability.
Those are the conditions which Mr.. Dix
on calls humiiating and degrading. We ask
any honest and manly ex-rebei if he thinks
so. We ask him if he would not consider
the Government humiliated if, after it has
foiled his effort to destroy it, it should in
vite him to increased power in it: or IL he
would think himself degraded after he had
violated his oath-however much his con
science may have justified him-if those
whom that violation had brought to untold
suffering and loss should hold him inellgi
BILE to office until they saw that all danger
had passed?
Mr.. Dixon merely follows the lead OF the
Copperhead chiefs In telling the late lnsur
gents that Congress means to humiliate anc
degrade them; assuring them that there is
party at the North which will support thai
view, and urging them to hold out, and re-
fuse to enter Congress unless they can come
with more power than those who have mo-
rebelled. And this Indictment to the lhc
insurgents to remain hostile to the repre-
sentatives of the loyal people MIR. Dixon
calls ''an effort to restore peace and good
will to distracted country" Does MIR
Dixon think that calling vinegar honey
makes it honey?-Harpers' Weekly.

NEW ORLEANS RIOT.
Result Of the Investigations
Damaging Evidence against
the Rebel Authorities.

New York. August 2S.-A Times New
Orleans special SAYS the Commission ap-
pointed by General Bard, to investigate the
late riot, have completed their labors, and
their report will show that the first shot
fired from a revolver. was by white man
at the procession of freedmen. Twenty
minutes then expired before any further
disturbance took place, when the process
sion reaching the place where the COnven-
tion was in session, the police interfercd
with il and attempting to make rescue,
fired upon the freedmen, who returned the
fire.
A mob of citizens then joined the police
and the massacre commenced. IL also
shows that several policeman hid their
badges. 80 as not TO be recognized, and af-
ter entering the hall they disregardcd the
white flag and fired indiscriminatcly upon
the unarmed members of the Convention
and the spectators. Some of the citizens
wore badges. indicating an organization
Those in the room then with chairs, &c,
drove the police and attacking party out.
and barricadcd the doors. After the bar
ricade was established not single person
escaped unharmed. and about thirty were
murdered While credit is given the po-
licemen for saving the lives of all who were
in the building and are not now dead, the
force is found guilty OF nearly all the muir
ders that were committed.
The evidence shows that the policemen
killed freedmen when they could have ar
rested them without trouble. and that
wounded negroes were thrown into a cart
and killed while struggling TO free them
selves from the dead bodies which had been
nlaccd on ton of them
The Commission will report the riot was
caused by bitter feeling on the part of the
residents and police toward the radical
Cnionists and freedmen. They will also
probably report that it was preconcertcd,
inasmuch as il it in evidence that it was
talked of previously for several days.
II is the opinion of the Commission that
if the military had not appeared at the time
it did. the riot would have progressed to the
determination all the Unionists and freed
men in the city.
The city press are attacking Gen Sheri-
dan for what he reported in his official dis
patches.

The Philadelphia North
american,

The announcement has been made that
the Philadelphia North American, a staunch
Union paper, had gone over to the Copper
Johnson party. The following extract from
one of that journals editorials gives the lie
to the report
..Our own faith, as we have already said,
is in nowise shaken by anything the Con
vcntion has done. Ii has given less of
fcnsivc platform than that of the Demo-
cratic party. But ii has fallen far short of
the principles enunciatcd by the Republi-
can party. We know that the latter is sin
cere in its proclivitieS for freedom. liberali-
tv and nationality. Ii has proven its real
character in long and bloody war, and
stands in no need OF protcstations now a.
to what i. means II needs only TO point
to its past record. so full of glory; that is a
sufficient passport to the public esteem
ANY atte,pt to break down this great ma
tional orianization by establishing new
ones, wi1be in vain. The result, therefore,
of the rectnt Convention. will be TO strength
en- the Republican and destroy the Demo-
cratic party. The Convention has written
the doom of the latter, and however it may
seem to prolong lis existence, locally, ii
WILL in the end, submit to an inevitable
fate
'Ifthe President speech, which we print
this morning. is to be taken as a fair sam
pie of what the new party means, and what
il proposes to do, we are inclined TO think
1t will soon be even weaker than the Dem
ocratic party. In this strange outbreak, the
President appears to have OutdOne his ia
nous scranadc speech, and to have gone to
the utmost of partisan rancor. We find
him denying to Congress the power of leg
islatiOn, because the rebel States were un-
representa- therein, Notwithstanding that
the war was carried on by Congress repre-
scnting the same constituency, and from
which the rebel States were necessarily alb
sent. We find him ignoring the fact that
he owes his own election to the same con-
stituencr that Congress represents. and that
not one OF the rebel States participated in
that election. Ii a Congress be imperfect
and illegal. because those rebel delegations
are bsent from it, by what process oflogic
can his own election be held valid. resting.
as il does, upon precisely the same basis.

David Il Volcano.

The Rensselaer, Telegraph gives an ac-
count of tremendous Democratic rally at
that place on the 2lst to hear Turpie.-
There were 400 present. David went off
like volcano" The Telegraph says:
Then Hon. David Turpie came upon the
stand. Hon. David looked better than
when we saw him last firing into the rear
of the Union army. At length he opened
his mouth. out of which flowed streams of
eiO1uence as from volcanic eruptl0n.-
His throat seemed to be red hot. Scorch-
ing lava flowed outupOn the Radicals who
have nearly stopped the manufacture OF

tears were shed upon The widows and or

the brunt of danger only to be hoodwinked

This was too much for us. We have heard
thunder showers, we have seen mammoth
holes in the ground, we have been sea sick,
but we never felt any emotions like this ell
oqucnce stirred. But hot springs some
times dry up. and lightnings cease TO flash,

During this overwhelming speech. Hon.

us, was his inferior, just - times, and dis

The Memphis Avalanche--a journal in
most respects, except that of size, very like
the Richmond Examiner,-lessp polite than
Pollard's paper, plumply repudiates the
disavowal, by the Philadelphia Convention,
of the right of secession. 1t fhterprets the
lessons of the war in quite a Pickwickian
sense, declaring that ''the war simply de-
cided that the weaker power is unable to
resist power of greater momentum-that
our failure to secedc was simply a failure to
succeed, and no more. The State Rights
party believe that the doctrine of secession
is deeply ingrained in the genius of our in
stitutions. When the rebels get back in
to power, and have settled that '1ittle diff
ficulty with Mr. Doolittle," they will haye
learned wisdom by their late experience,
and the next attempt to secede, they will
hope will not be a failure. AT any rate,
the Avalanche evidently thinks the expert
ment worth trying.-Ch. Rep.

John G.. Walker PardOned.

The IndlanapOIls JOurnaI OF the 2Ith UT.
says:
We learn that the President has pardon
ed John {. Walker, the most guilty and
dangerous of all the conspirators who at
tempted to involve our State in the horrors
of civil war, in 1864. Milligan's imperti-
nent boldness is almost conclusive proof
that he has received the necessary parch-
ment to protect him from the indictment
now pending against hiM; and the unob-
structed visits of Dodd to this State, lead
TO the presumption that he has been made
a subject of the same surviving grace.

of suffrage. The rebels say they do not like
the tone of their papers, but if not, why do
they not have those that do reflect their SEN
timents? They strive to treat US like cat,
without showing their claws, and say that
they like Johnson; but let me ask, as be-
tween him and jeff. Davis, who would it
be? They will throw Johnson away as they
did Governor Wells, and every Union man
whom they can use. Had they sent their
loyal men up to represent them in Congress,
and refused to support the rebel press, they
would be at once admitted, while the devil
of secession might have still lived, but now
they have put the American people on their
,ruartl -
