TIE ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BOND AT THE
TREASURY DEpARTMENT.--Th curious circum-
stance of seven-tbirty Treasury bond which
had been twice rejected as counterfeit at the
Treasury Department in Washington on pre-
vious occasions within the past six years
having been pronounced genuine by General
Spinner, the cashier and other officials, and re-
deemed on Monday, suggests the idea that
there must be either some very expert and
sklful counterfeiters abroad or that the experts
in the Treasury Department must be unqualified
for their business There have been frequent
rumors that large amount Of bonds in the hands
of bondholders were counterfeits. We have
heard from time to time Of extensive frauds IN
the bond business, both in the Treasury De-
partment aud out Of 1t. We think u Is about
,u,,,se that there was q general overhauling Of
the whole CONCERN. II the acumen Of the Trea-
sury Department Is not equal to the task Of de-
Gliding whether a bond is genuine or counter
felt there can be very little confidence on the
part of the holders of bonds as to whether
their property is worth anything or is mere
trash. The matter should be sifted to the
bottom.

The Troubles In the Souih-A September
Session Of Congress.

The impression is gathering strength at
Washington that the troubles which it is
alleged threaten a bloody conflict between the
whites and blacks in the reconstructed South
crn States will bring together again the two
houses of Congress on the 2lst Of September.
Reports multiply from Southern radical mem
bers Of Congress, newspapers and clectioneer-
ing politicians Of murders of negroes and
loyal whites by the Ku Klux Khan and their
political allies in nearly oil the cotton States.
Moreover it is inferred that the recent orders
from the War Office indicate policy on the
part Of the administration, in the absence Of
Congress, which will render necessary the in-
tervention of Congress itself in order to pro-
vido for the maintenance of peace in the
reconstructed States in the November elcc-
ton. Now this is very important matter
There is evidently neither a feeling OF har-
mony nor sense Of security between the two
races In said States, and we are called TO meet
the question, why not?
Why is 1t that In Louisiana, for example,
one of the States reconstructed and restored
on the terms laid down by Congress. ihcre is
no peace2 1t is because large b. Vi the
people are inclined to revolt, as a lass resort,
against this plan Of reconstruction, resting as
it does upon the radical safeguard of negro
supremacy. But why should portion of
those people DO inclined TO revolt against this
thing, when by the constitutional amendment,
article fourteen each State is left free to regu-
late the law of suffrage for itself? II is be-
cause, the State being in possession of the
blacks, there Is no telling when State con-
vention may be obtained TO change the exist
ing law Of suffrage. Hence in Louisiana, and
more or less in all the reconstructed States,
there are developments of the btterest hos
tiiity to these laws Of reconstruction. This
feeling among the responsible labor employing
whites has been 80 far developed that they
have undertaken, by invitations and induce
ments and by warnings, TO convince the blacks
that their future safely depends upon their
voting down the rule of the 'carpet-baggers. |"
II would appear, too, that 80 far has this
policy already prevailed among the blacks

that the radicals despair Of carrying more than
two or three Of the seven reconstructed and
restored rebel States. Hence these appeals
of Southern radical Congressman and their
followers for September session of Congress;
and as the fortunes Of the republican party
may turn in November upon the Southern
balance of power, we are prepared for the
reassembling Of Congress in September and
for few moro radical checks and balances in
the way of Southern reconstruction.

The Case Of Mrs. Surratt-GenernI Hunters
Statement.


General Hunter, in reply to newspaper
statement that he was the only member of the
military court that tried the Lincoln assassi-
nation conspirators who refused to sign the
petition for the pardon of Mrs. Surratt, says
my name headed the list Of members OF the
commission recommending Mrs. Surratt to the
President, and l have always looked with
utter contempt on the execution of this poor
woman, excusing at the same time thousands
of rebel mon who so much more richly deserved
hanging" General Butler has said that this
woman was unjustly executed. Mr.. Bingham,
the prosecuting attorney, says that he drew up
the petition to the President in her behalf; and
so, after all, the responsibility in this matter
would seem to rest upon the President himself.
When it is remembered, however, that from
the verdict of the court the woman was guilty,
that the conspiracy involved the assassination
Of Mr.. Johnson, and that reign of popular
wrath and of terror and mystery prevailed in
Washington and all over the country at the
time, the refusal of the President to listen to
any petition in behalf of Mrs. Slrratt is not
surprising. He was governed by The necessity
of terrible example for terrible crime.
General Hunters contempt" nevertheless,
touches the President, while his reference to
the thousands of rebel men who more richly
deserved hanging" than this ''poor woman"
seems to us to reflect upon tho mag
nanimity of General Grant towards his
rebel prisoners. In short, General Hunter,
like General Butler, has expressed his con-
tempt and indignation in this matter somewhat
too sharply. In righting himself he was not
called upon to condemn other parties concerned
in the responsibilities of this awful execution.

Latest Aspect Of tho White Sulphur Con-
ference.

ference
From all the reports Of the late meeting
between General ROsecrans and the lead
ing generals of the late Southern confede-
racy at the West Virginia White Sulphur
Springs, that meeting was the result of an
understanding and covered political design.
The understanding has been traced by some
parties to the White House, and the design is
given out as a conservative pronunciamento
from those leading Southern generals in be-
half Of Seymour and Blair One or two repub
lican journals have discovered that General
Rosecrans has heavy account outstanding
against General Grant, growing out Of the dis
placement of Rosecrans from his command after
his disastrous battle of Chicamauga; that,
therefore, ROsecrans is fred with an extraordi-
nary zeal in the cause Of Seymour, and that
has oontrived this meeting with General Lee
and company in order to get from them
political manifesto off character so concilatory
towards the North as to neutralze the violent
and foolish lire-eating harangues of Generals
Wade Hampton, Forrest, Pike and Admiral
Semmes and others of that sort. We place
very little reliance upon these conjectures; for
conjectures they are, and nothing more. They
are somewhat plausible, but they are likely to
turn out utterly groundless. A proclamation,
at all events, on the political situation, from
such Southern men as Generals Lee, Long
street and Beauregard, and Alexander II.
Stephens, and the rest of those at the West
Virginia White Sulphur Springs, is not
bad idea, although It would probably be
as well for them to keep perfectly quiet yet
awhile il their object is the election Of
Seymour.
