The Court House was insured for S4,-

pickering and begging the Commission
ers for nearly week, succeeded in get

justice, but merely to get rid of his in
cessant clatter about rebuilding the
Court House, selling the material and
many other things equally as childish and
foolish. The people of Monroe County

Resolutions Adopted By the DEM
Ocratic County Convention, SAT-
urday, July 6, 1867.

Resolred, That this Convention learn
with pleasure that the great champions Of
Democracy, Hon. Allen G. Thurman, Hon.
George II. Pendletoh and Hon. G. L.
Vallandigham, will address the people of
Monroe on Thursday, September II, and
we pledge them hearty and enthusiastic
welcome to the Banner County"
Resolued, That we are decidedly opposed
to political and social equality between
the White and African races-believing
there exists an incompatibility between
them that will lead in the future,if adop-
ted, to war Of races, we. are, therefore,
opposed to the proposed amendment to
our State Constitution, allowing Negroes
to vote while it DISTINGUISHES White men.
Resolued, That we are in favor of equal
and just taxation; and that while the
three thousand millions of dollars, inyes-
ted in Government bonds, are exempted
from taxation, it is the duty of the Gov
ernment to relieve the people Of the oner
GUS burden now imposed upon them to
sustain the aristoeracy of wealth; and it
is believed this can be done by liquida-
ting the bonded debt of the Government
in legal tender notes.
Resofued, That being opposed to the
military power usurping or superceding
civil authority, we denounce the acts of
the present Congress in establishing mil
itary despotisms in part Of the United
States as the act of petty tyrants, who, to
subserye their own selfish purposes, disre-
gard the Constitution and the rights of
the people.
Resolued, That it is the duty OF every
Democrat to support his local paper; we
therefore urge upon the Democracy of
the county to extend aSliberal support to
the Esprit of Democracy"
Rssolued, That we pledge our cordial
and hearty support to the ticket this day
nominated
ResOlUed, That we fully endorse the
platform of principles enunciated by the
Democratic State Convention at Colum-
bus, on the 9Th Of January last.

Funeral Honors 10 Dead RebeIs.

GALVESTON, January 25.-Great excitement has
been ooOaHoned by the interference OF General
Griffin In the obsequies OF General A. ). Johnston.
The stores are closed and draped in mourning Gene
RAJ Griffin has agreed to permit the body to be taken
TO the Episcopal Church, and the burial service be
rpao on Mayor Leonard giving MIN the following
u edge THAT there shall be no music by bands,
ringing or tOling OF bells, AID no public or private
nsratlons OF any Organized associauons,
sbou the body be conveyed to the church in this
city and from thence to the point OF it's de farture
All persOns appearing in the procession shall be in.
vIted and appear as members OF the family OF
the deceased or of their friends These condi-
oman air where il has been visited by crowds Busl-
ness was suspended during the day IN honor OF the
deceased"
We cannot but think that the conduct of
General Griffin is founded in bad policy.
General A. Sidney Johnston was, beyond all
doubt, the purest of any OF the Rebel leaders.
He stands pre-emineDt for his martial ability,
and rivals "Stonewall" Jackson for religious
enthusiasm in a cause which he honestly be-
lieved to be right. When, therefore, it is
desired to renter his remains, we cannot see
why the bells were not allowed to toll, and
the people to follow the funeral cOrtege,
whether they were friends or strangers. fit
is understood that military honors be meted
out only to officers of the United States army
General Griffin may be right in forbidding a
salute at the grave, but we think that the in
reference in this case was arbitrary.
Even if the conduct of General Johnston
during life was such as to richly merit the
refusal of funeral honors, yet it is certainly
not sound policy to treat his remains with
disrespect If there isone thing about which
people are tenacious, it is the memory OF
their dead public servants. The reigning
Bourbon did much to strengthen his position
on the throne OF France when he allowed the
body of the great Napoleon to be reinterred
in the magnificent mausoleum in Paris. A
like sense of policy, if not propriety, should
lead us to allow the honors of regard to be
Southern Generals.
80 far as we are concerned, we would join
in paying every respect to the dead; the
only ones we would hold accountable are
the living. We would not have interment
refused to any of them. We would let the
honor to their remains be so delightful to the
vanity of the survivors as to induce them to
follow their predecessors as speedily as pos
sible. If all the Southern Rebel leaders
were to-day where Sidney Johnston is the
Union would not be now distracted by their
bitter animosity. We would so act as to de-
prive these men of every opportunity Of point
ing to our course as though it were tyran
nicaI. But while dealing leniently with the
masses and the dead leaders, we would so use
the rod with the living rulers as to crush out
and trample down forever the slightest hope
OF successful treason.

these views, a meeting was held last night at
the Cooper Institute for the express purpose
OF raising funds for the relief Of the starving
South. 1t was held by the radicals, or was
addressed by radicals-Horace Greeley
and II. W. Beecher being the principal
speakers-and it was the radicals giving
bread to the Rebels, giving it willingly and
without ostentation. We hear much prating
from the Democratic press about charity, but
it is reserved for the so-called enemies OF the
South to show by deeds their true feeling,
while the conservatives try to prove them by
words. We ask the people of the South
whether professions or practices speak
loudest?

SOUTHERN WANTs.-The following ex-
tract from letter from a Northern clergy
man in the South, which we find in the New

destitution:-

there is nothing but an earth moor. DO these

features; the livid hue of their faces; their eyes

CONNECTICUT. When Governor Joseph
r. Hawley was on Thursday unanimously re-
nominated by the Republicans for Governor
of Connecticut, Senator Ferry, from the
Committee on Resolutions, submitted series,
of which the following is the principal one
referring to national subjects:-
"ResolUed, That the pending amendment to
the Federal Constitution, in the generous mag
nanimity of the terms which is proposed to the
late insurgents, deserved, and should have re-
Ceived, their grateful recognition; that its re-
lection by them proceeds from still prevailing
spirit of rebellion, and imposes upon the national
authority the duty of establishing the Union
upon none other than lust and durable fOunda-
tlons; that in so doing, loyalty to the republic
should be recognized as the first OF political
virtues, and disloyalty as the worst of political
crines and that the protection of all citizens
tGoughout the republic, in the exercise OF all
the rights and immunities guaranteed by the
Constitution, should be invariably secured"
In the enthusiasm and unanimity exhi-
bited, we read precursor of decisive radi-
cal victory in the coming spring.
