intention to arrest, by police or sheriff, the
members of the convention, they were as
sure1 of his support and aid and 1T was
believed, with good reason, that whatever
steps the Mayor should take, IN his once
and under color of law, to suppress the
meeting of the convention. would have the
sanction of the President.
Ifthe telegram ofGen. Baird to theSec-
retary of War, of July %, had been COM
municated to the President, we know, from
the telegraphic message which he sent ON
Monday. that such directions would have
been given as would in fact, have required
Gen. Baird to sustain by military force,
what was called the civil authorities
that is to say the Mayor and his police. 1t
then. the armed police had engaged in the
work of slaughter which destroyed the con-
vention, the soldiers of the army OF the
United States would have been charged
with the responsibility of the act. The
fact that the telegram from General Bard
had not been communicated to the Presl-
dent has been the subject of comment, and
we give in this connection the statement
made by the Secretary OF War IN relation
tn that matter. Mr.. Stanton had heard
nothing of the convention had no knowl-
edge of Mr.. Rosters presence IN W ashlng-
ton or interview with the President had
not been informed of the Presidents tele-
graphic correspondence, and saw no reason
why General Baird should have new IN
structions, or why conference with the
President was required.
The latter part of the report is occupied
with consideration of the political sltua-
ton of Louisiana. The committee think
it needs reconstructing badly ; that the
rebels are in power, the Union men pro-
scribed and abused, and the freedmen out
ragged. OF course there are many men,
and among them those in high social and
political position, who cannot perceive at
all the existence of such a condition OF
things. Some of them are Northern men
in commercial business. They claim to be
Union men, and speak freely theirp rivate
opinions, and they testify that, 50 far as
they can Judge, there exists general feel
ing of peace and content among the people,
which only requires Immediate restoration
of the state, withdrawal of the army, and
entire non-interference by the general gov
eminent, to bring the state back to Its nor
NAL condition of loyalty and love toward
the Union. But those alone who have
been compelled by their own experience to
bear the burden of rebel hate can estimate
its weight
The general conclusion of the committee
is that the time has fully arrived when
Congress should intervene, and should so
legislate as to secure to the people Of Lou
isiana IA republican form Of government.
The condition of things existing there can
not continue consistently with the safety,
security or peace of loyal men. The CON-
mittee therefore propose 10 reconstruct the
state government after pattern Of their
own, an outline of which has been given.

alike fortunate in securing his services in this

THE FREEDMEN.

! think there is a somewhat general i'm
precision at the North that the colored people
of Washington are more favorably situated
than in the Southern States In some re-
spects, however, this is not the case. Wash
ington is by no means paradise for the ne
gro. 1t has literally become the great pauper
house of the nation. The ma jority of the
white citizens of Washington have little dis
position to alleviate the condition of the
multitude of blacks. who during and since
the war have found their way here, and
northern men and northern teachers, resident
constantly giving. The fact that this city is
the headquarters of the Freedmen Bureau,
has no doubt led many to suppose that the
wants of the colored people would be more
promptly met here than elsewhere. 1t should
be remembered. however in this connection,
that the Bureau can expend only what Con-
eress appropriates, and to certain extent
these wants must be met from other sources.
An appropriation of twenty thousand dollars
for the relief of the colored population of
this District will soon be made. Yet how
Inadequate this sum is to meet their necessi-
ties is at once seen, when we state that with
in the limits of the District there are TWEEN
tv-fve thousand freedmen, many of whom
cannot obtain work here.
One of the most efficient and Jealous labor
ers in behalf Of the freedmen here is Rev. D..

Violation OF Tax Laws.

WASHINGTON, November 2O.-Informa.
ton has been received here that the sub.
committee on retrenchment, consisting OF
Representatives Van Wyck, Randall. and
Walker, are Of the opinion, from their
elaborate examination at New York ftbe
violations Of the tax law in relation 10
tobacco and whiskey, that tho system for
cheating the Government is far more
effective and perfect than that for collect
ing the tax on those articles. One of the
committee, in a.private letter, saws it an.
pears from the investigation that the effect
of the increase of the tax on whiskey has
been to augment the number of distilieries
ten-fold,I and that not one.fifth of the
whiskey manufactured pays the tax. In
fact, ne adds, there is no legitimate bust
ness in the distillation or rectifcation OF
wh'skey. Nearly all the honest men have
oeen forced to leave the business in New
York and Brooklyn. Every attempt on
the part of the Government to enforce the
law sharpens the ingenuity of men to de-
feat it. The only remedy, the writer says,
is reduction of the tax, and this should
be collected at the still-taxing the still on
its capacity.

Too Many Delegates.

The Charlottesville Chronicle says as to
the Conservative State Convention:
We confess we have our fears of such q
Convention as may assemble in Richmond
Imprudent men cannot be put down in a
mass meeting. They speak for the mo-
ment and to the crowd.
Now we lift our feeble voice once more
We tell the counties which have not acted
that it is no time for Incorporate county
meetings, and Incorporate county orators,
and hurrah convention in Richmond. We
urge upon all such to single out one or two
clear discreet men, with alter
mates, and send them to Rchn166d to re-
present them. And we respectfully recon-
mend to the delegates from Richmond city,
and from the counties which have ap-
pointed large delegations, to meet and ap-
point few delegates from the existing de-
legations, with the understanding that no
others attend the Convention.
This is an important matter. We look
forward with much anxiety to the action
of the Convention, and we do trust it will
be characterized by moderation and judy
ment. We can strengthen our friends at
the North immensely by .judicious course,
and we can knock all the fat in the fire by
any imprudence.
& public meeting will be held at Deem

delegates from this county to the Con-
sentative Convention called to meet in

DRrGGIsTs AND WHIsKEY MEN AT WORK.
The diStilers and druggists propose to
hold a convention in Washington city on
the 10th or 18th Of next month for the pur-
pose Of having changes made in the inter-
nal revenue laws relating to alcohol and
distilled spirits. The assemblage will COM
prise representatives from all classes in,
tercsted in the articles referred to, and
certain notifications of the law VIII then
be proposed and urged upon the attention
Of Congress-. Apropos of this subject 1t Is
understood that the whiskey interest y
will make a powerful onslaught upon Con-
gress this winter, and certain representa-
lives from the West whose constituents
are largely interested in the distilation
of spirits are pledged to spare no efforts
for repeal or modification OF some of the
laws. Several gentlemen largely interest
ri in distillefieS are already in Washing

train.-,Sun.
