The Soldier Dead.

We hope-earnestly and enthusiastically
that the good work Of honoriug the dead
from this District, advocated by those who
have written in the ENQUIRER in its favor,
will not be allowed to stop without fair
measure of success. The articles upon
this subject, We are pleased to see, has re-
ceived the attention of the press elsewhere,
and resulted in the necessary action in their
communities. The ladies of Colnnhia have
formed a Memorial Association, and on
Tuesday, assembled to ornament the graves
iof the honored dead, from that city and the
District. o.
The meeting to take place here on Sales.
Day in August, is one that concerns US all.
There is scarcely a freside in all the Dis
trict, from which the sad ravages Of war,
has not wrested some tender relic. Affec-
ton longs to do them the last honors OF the
grave; and the general plan suggested is
one that places this object within the means
of rich and poor alike. 10
We call upon the ladies to work for this
object. We know that the bare mention Of
the subject, will draw from them ready
cooperation in its behalf. A large share
of the success of the enterprise will rest
upon their efforts. The meeting in August
will elect the necessary officers Of the So.
ciety, and appoint committees to secure
names and contributions in the District
We trust it will be fully attended, and ex.
press the sentiment of the District upon this
important subject. ,..e ...

THE "SITUATION."
THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU

The first bill passed by Congress, to con-
tinue in force the Freedmen's Bureau, was
killed some months ago by the Executive
veto, and the South then trusted that this
unpalatable subject was forever dismissed.
Not so, however. The new bill, introduced
in the House shortly after the defeat of the
first one, passed that body some weeks ago,
and has Unexpectedly met the approval of
the Senate. 1t is now, to all iutents, the
law of the land. The President will GER
tainly veto it, as it clearly opposes his views
as to the policy to be adopted towards the
South; but this will be a mere matter of
form that both Houses will override with
impunity. An abstract of the Bill, as it
passed the Senate, will be found in to.day's
paper.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The call for National Union Conven.
ton of Delegates from all the States, has
been issued by the National Union Club, at
Washington. The Democrats in Congress
endorse this measure, and many Of the
leading men of the North favor it. It is
believed to be the only course left, to stay
the mad strides of the party now in power,
and to secure harmony, and perfect IN.
derstanding between truly loyal men in both
sections of the country. The bringing to-
gether of representatives from all sections,
and the face to face interchange of views,
is likely to produce favorable results. Ifit
does not, we know of nothing whatever that
will. With the lights now before US, we
can see no harm in the South being repre-
sented at this Convention, but on the other
hand, prospect of real benefit, provided it
commits the country to no radical platform.
This, the men we send, must exert them.
selves to avoid.
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
The Democratic and conservative men,
bers of Congress have agreed upon an ad-
dress to the people of the United States,
which will be published in a few days. 1t
approves of the proposed Philadelphia Con-
vention, and urges all the States to partic-
ipate in its proceedings. 1t favors the

ject of reform. It is, we think, destined
to exercise wide influence over the
country.

Canada-The Fishery Question.

From he Times.
The writer of the letter from Canada which
we printed on Saturday is well informed
npon the matters referred to, and his statements
hre therefore entitled-apart from their in
Erinsic interest-to very careful attention. His
information as to the effects of the repeal of
reciprocity, and the feeling thereby engendered
hmong our neighbors, will perhaps surprise
those of our wise men who anticipate cry for
annexation as the immediate result of their
Japanese policy. The truth is, that for certain
qualities OF lumber, and also for barley and long
wool we must continue to very large extent
dependent upon Canada; and the extra cost of
Bhese articles in our markets, produced by Gus
9oms duties, will fall upon our own people as
consumers, not upon the Provincial farmer or
1um herman.

The Tennessee Land spoIiation Scheme


From the DAILY Net1s.
A pretty kettle of fish, indeed was that which
met at Knoxville on Thursday, for the purpose
of considering the advisability of setting up
separate State Government for East Tennessee.
These political brigands, doubtless under old
Brownlows instigation, feeling themselves at a
disadvantage IN the State, propose seriously to
secede therelrom, and to set up new concern
which shall have Knoxville for its capital and
Brownlow for its head. The arrant impudence
OF this programme is scarcely relieved by its
more fragrant features. The individual who pre-
sided at the Convention" i" one Judge Samuel
Rodgers, with view, probably, of ingratiating
himself with the opponents OF State sovereignty,
said that iC was not a secession movement, and
then adds, rather logically, it they should
secede "it will be from the Rebel to Join the
Union people,"
The little scheme seems to have been for a
long time in contemplation. The plan was con-
cocted during what the learned Judge calls "the
dark hour of the Rebellion and has been held
in allegiance since that time, and is now brought
out little hesitatngly il is true, into the light,
and invested with the sacred odOr of Unonsm,
In order to make it palatable to the dominant
powers.
SO far as we can Judge from the telegraphc
summary of the proceedings" there was but
one individual present in the "Conventionr who
seemed 10 have CLEAN of common sense, not
to mention common decency, about him. This
lucky individual, by name of James, while as
senting to the main plan, had serious scruples
about the true position of the State at large
What he wanted to know, you know was
