response the enthusiastic call Of the audience Madame

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN This is the first moment of

CONSLMER IND PRODNCER.

a correspondent recently urged through Our
columns, what he softly termed the " remis-
" sion " Of the National Debt, but which was
really its reputation. We have no sort OF
objection to a remission of what the Gov
ernment or Union owes him by any public
creditor who chooses TO forgive the debt; but
that, all know, will not amount to much. To
rcpudiate the Debt-that il, to prescribe by
law that it shall not be paid-is quito another
matter and TO this we are decidedly opposed.
SO, when our correspondent urged that. if the
Debt were wiped out, we might have beef
steaks for 10 cents per pound that now cost
35, we could not help reminding him that some
of the Public Debt is held by men who make
beef for a living, and that you would hardly
induce an Illinois farmer to burn his boarded
$4,000 of Fiye-Twenties by telling him that,
as a consequence of so doing, he would have
to sell his beef cattle henceforth ut one-thrd
of their present price. What is your opinion
on that point
The World garbles our structures, so as to
be able to say:
"TnE TRIBUNE thus takes part against thirty mlons
of beefcOnsumcrs u behalf OF few hundred thousand
for MS who have TO buy but says THE Tribune let the
price he high for the sake OF our people who sell The
falacy Of THR TRBrSEs principle is apparent tho mo-
ment its application Is extended
Now THE TRIBUNE has said nothing like
this-has propounded no principle fallacious
or otherwise. but that a grower of beef cattle
would not be likely to forgive the United
States an honest debt of $4,000 merely or
mainly because this would reduce the market
price of his cattle so that he would henceforth
have to sell three steers for the sum he now
receives for one. Is that disputedG If not,
there is nothing in controversy. The Worlds
assumption that sellers are few and buyers
many is unfounded-all are sellers and all buy
ers-and what is made by high prices on one
side is lost on the other We have no desire
that they shall be high, nor that they shall be
low: we would have them fair and just. And,
while we presume that their average would be
lower if there were no Public Debt we do not
deem that reason for favoring Reputation.

Mr.. Fernando Woods monster project of
money making, by means of indefinite leases,
has been still further thwarted. The Controller
will refuse to execute the lease of Mr.. Woods
costly offices, notwithstanding Judge Barnard's
peremptory mandamus. This, it is argued, is
not true writ, emanating from q Court as
the Judge at the time of granting it was
not sitting in Special Tenn or Chambers. The
objection of the peoples counsel is not to a
want of regularity in the writ. but of juris-
dictiOn. In the Superior Court Judge Suther-
land has accepted this view, and set aside the
mandamus. He decides that the Controller had
no power to give away the consent of the Cor
poration, and that Judge Barnard's mandamus
has not properly notified the latter.

Gen. SchOfeld has followed q majority of the
District Commanders in issuing an order of
registration. He prescribes Board of Registry
for every Magisterial District and, to prevent
frauds, orders that three whites and three
colorcd persons shall remain with the Board as
challcngers. In registering, the names of
whites and blacks are to be entered on
separate lists. Registration is the great and
immediate difficulty of reconstruction, and
therefore it is important that an officer of
the Freedmens Bureau has prepared paper
on Registration and kindred subjects, which
has been deemed of sufficient value to
be communicated to all the Military Com
manders. 1t recommends that the Boards
of Registration should be composed Of both
white and colored men; that the COM
manders of districts designate such places of
registration as will require as little
travel and loss of time as practicable; /;
that an order of the District Com
mander should make provision for allowing
all persons under contract for labor sufficient
time for registration and voting; to appoint at
least One-third of the police of the chief
cities from among the colored men; to
divide the State into districts, and
appoint over each military officer
as Inspectors; to have the list of all the names
registered in a district printed and posted up in
several public places, and, after a suitable time
allowed for inspection, to open the registration
again for corrections and additions. Most of
these suggestions will be fulfilled in the order
of Gen. Schofeld.

Mr. Wendell Phillips ftly says, in reply to =
late disclaimer of Gen. Rousseau, that tho
"crime of attacking members in debate has
"been far too leniently treated. II is a crime
of the gravest importance" We agree with
him that this cowardly rowdyism should be
rooted ont, and that it would have been de-
served rebuke if the cheaply-won nomination
of Gen. Rousseau for the Regular Army had
been Indignantly rejected by the Senate. The

TERDINAND FREILTGRATH.

United States, in England, and probably in

one of the greatest living poets of Germany,
who, since the downfall of the revolutionary
movement of 1S4S. has been living in exile in
England. The new republican era which in
1SiS seemed to dawn in Germany, in France,
and in many other countries of Europe, had
few more gifted and more devoted champions
than FreligTath, whose inspiring songs gained
to tho popular uprising thousands OF converts
in all classes of the people Many of his songs
have been translated into English, both here
and in England and have endeared his name
to the friends of progress far beyond his ma
tive country. Freligath until recently lived
in comfortable circumstances, as q director OF
the Swiss Bank of London but the dissolution
of this bank has left him without a sufficient
income. In order TO save him from want, his
numerous friends and admirers have organized
committees in a large number of places to take
up collections for the "Freiligrath Fund"

Gen. Longstreets presence among the Vice
Presidents of meeting in New-Orleans adj
dressed by the Hon. Henry Wilson was highly
remarkable. OF course he is not a
Radical but he knows the wisdom of
liberality, aud can be hospitable to free
and sincere speech. There is in the manly act
Of Gen. Longstreet an encouraging overture
toward the recognition of Northern men and
Northern ideas. He may not believe as we

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS.

"The Constitutional Convention, its History,
"Powers, and Modes of Proceeding: BY JOHN
" A. JAMESON, Judge of the Superior
Court of Chicago" has just been issued
in large and fair octave of 56l pages,
by c. Scribner & Co. 1t is less a COM
piation than an elaborate essay, embOdy-
ing brief account of the various COnstitu-
tiOnal Conventions thus far held in our cOun-
try, and thence deducing the fundamental prlD-
ciples of American polity and the general laws
which govern the founding of States and the
establishment of written bases of civil author
ity. The diverse bodies or assemblages to
which the name Convention is applied; the
various instrumentates through which gov
ernments are born of the people and called
into being by their will; the means whereby
Vermont, Tennessee, Michigan, Kansas, and
West Virginia, were scyerally erected or trans
formed into States, are al briefly yet
clearly presented; and the work, as a
whole, is one which all interested in the grave
problem OF Southern Reconstruction, or in the
impending revision of our own States funda-
mental law, may study with interest and profit.
State Sovereignty, the resolutions of 49,
and other topics of permanent interest, are
calmly discussed, and the work fills a niche
which has hitherto been empty. We commend
il To general attention.

Bishop Quintard in his address to the Con.
vention Of the Protestant Episcopal Church Of
Tennessee the other day, said two things 70,
which we heartily thank him. He impressed
upon his clerical brethren their duties to the
freedmen, and he condemned the practice OF
raising money for religious purposes by lot
teries. Nothing has done more to spread the
unholy mania for gambling than the church

wherein the charitable rattle is any better in
its influence than the popular gift enterprise, |,

Lawrence has declined the nomination FOR Con-

the remaining Radical candidate, though com
mended by Gov. BrOwnlow, is not entirely
