In the old days when the South was totter-
ing to its fall, and like all other despotisms,
gloried in its shame and boasted OF the impreg-
inability Of the very foundations that were
already crumbling to ruin, one of its cele-
brated orators rounded his diatribe against
freedom by calling the Northern laborer
mudsill. The word was taken up and echoed
from boundary to boundary of the South, and
the epithet was hailed with acclaim. 1t
suited the taste of the South exactly; but We
did not know what it meant until they en-
lightened us. The people of the North did
not know what mudsills were. The domestic
doorway of our laborer never was made of
mud, and it was only beneath the influence
of the pesuliar institution that the home of
the laborer was SO degraded.

SEPTEMBER SESSION OF CoSGRBss.-It has
been decided to hold September session. We
had deemed it unwise because II was unne-
oessary, but those with whom the decision was
vested have seen fit to call both bodies to-
gether. They may have had other informa-
tion, better than that to which We had access.
We suppose they had. But we would urge
most emphaticslly upon the Republican mem
bers to be careful how they act. We want no
legislation at present. We want no ns,o laws. no
ne'0 reconstruction acts, no mending of patches.
Let the case stand just as 1t does. We know
the Southern people are suffering wrongs; the
whole North knows it. Let the North vindi-
cate themselves in this matter, and with ths
loud voice of popular defamation sentence the
renegades aud traitors for their acts. Do not
listen to the calls of the Southern members.
They are good men and true, but their passion
will carry away their reason. The people are
in the very act of speaking. Lst the servants
stand silent until the masters have pro-
nounced their opinion. 1t will be in
furious and impolitic for any laws, good
or bad, TO be passed at the session
which meets on Monday next. Let it merely
adjourn until some day near the end of October,
or better still, until after the Presidential cleo
ton, and leave the rest to the people.

np1NTS RRAINS.

II Is q matter of regret to Gen. McClenand
that the Soldiers and Sailors Convention
omitted TO indorse his claims to the gratitude
of the country as the real captor of Vicksburg,
and the hero of nobody knows how many other
victories which mankind persist in attrl6utlng
to Gen. Grant. But this is long-standlng
complaint of the gallant general of volunteers
II was his favorite boast during the war that
he furnished the brains for Grant" though
he gave but little evidence of having any
brains of his own. At the battle of Cham
pion's Hill, in May, 1868, Grant found it impos-
sibe to make him STIR though he sent him re-
peated orders, and so the opportunity OF cap
turing all PembertOns army was missed. In
the second assault on Ficksburg his
false messages to Grant added greatly
to the losses of the day. Grant SAID
of him in his report to Gen. Halleck: . lie IS
"entirely unfit for the position of corps COM
"mander both on the march and on the battle
"icld. Looking after his corps gives me more
"labOr and infinitely more uneasness than all
"the remainder of my department" Finally,
McClernand issued a bombastic order lndl-
rectly censuring Grant, and claiming all the
credit of the successes which had been gained
before Yicksburg and instead of sending 1t to
his superior officer, as the rules of the service
required him to do, caused it Ito be published
in the newspapers. He followed this act OF
insubordnation by still more insubordinate
message, and, on the indignant re-
mOnstrances of Sherman and McPher-
son, Grant then relieved him of
his command. Who planned the Viclsburg
campaign ought to be pretty well understood,
we should think, since the publication of the
celebrated letters from Sherman and Lincoln
TO Grant after the victory. McClenand had
explained his own plan to the President, and
it was not adopted. Mr. Lincoln also had a
plan, and that was not adopted either And
LincOln's letter to Grant on the capture OF
Vicksburg closed with these generous words:
" ! now wish to make personal acknowledge
"ment that you were right and | was wrong
McCernand never was anything but a charla-
tan and braggart. He was appointed gen
era solely for political reasons, and the Gov
eminent paid dearly for making such mistake.
ct has been said of this sagaCious commander"
remarks a recent historian of the Vicksburg
campaign, chat after the receipt of orders to
execute a good movement he not unfre-
"quently wrote to his Commanding General
" advising the same movement, antedatlng his
"letter, and carefully forgetting to mention
" the instructions already received

The correspondent of Democratic journal
states that there were thirty ex-Goyernors in
the Democratic Convention. We don't see
what this proves, except an extraordinary
genius for getting turned out, which has been
noticed before in Democratic politicians. A
gathering of thirty seedy gentlemen who have
held office and would like to hold it again,
does MT strike us as anything appalling. More
over, some of these celebrities were raised, il
we are not mistaken, to the high dignity of
Ex-Governor by the authority of Gen. Grant,
having been Governors of the Confederate
persuasion; and one of them, while retiring TO
private life, will soon exchange the proud place
of Ex-Governor for the still higher one of ex-
Candidate for the Presidency, and ex-ofice-
holder generally.

THE CIVIL WAR IN Japan

The English papers of Japan, which have just
reached us by overland mail from San Fran
cisco, contain further details of the telegraphlc
news recently published in THE TRIBUNE.
These details represent the combination of the
Daimios which had been formed in the in
terest of the Tycoon, as quite formidable.
Though Yokohama was held by partisan of
the Mikado, IedGo, Notwithstanding the sub
mission of the Tycoon, remained in possession
of his family. The most powerful of the fol-
lowers of the Tycoon had not only defeated
the forces of the Mikado, but had advanced to
a position between 0saca, the present capital
of the Mikado, and Yokohama, the northern
most town held by the forces of the latter.
Should the friend of the Tycoon be able to
maintain his advanced position, he would cut
off the Mkado's troops at Yokohama from all
connection with the South, and the latter must
either fight their way through or surrender.
The manifesto of the High Priest of KiotO,
warning the Mikado that he has lately inter
fered too much i'll the temporal affairs, and
threatening him with the wrath of Buddha
should he persist in his heretical policy, is di-
rected, from an ultra conservative and hierarch
cal point of view, against both the MikadO
anu lIc l1CDOu uC idblSl las lHbuSulhbSu
the new reformatory era in Japanese history ;
but the Mikado's party, while endeavoring to
destroy the influence and the power of the
Tycoon, has openly accepted the innovation
in the foreign policy. The High Priest wishes
to retain the old and exclusive prevalence
of the State Church. We are too little in
formed of the state of public opinion in Japan
to know what prospect of success this appeal
to the ignorance and fanaticism of the masses
will have. At all events, the foreign Powers
will insist on the maintenance of the treaties.
Both England and France have advanced
large sums of money to some of the Daimios,
and now use the obligations incurred by the
latter for advancing their own interests. Their
movements are not likely ever to inspire the
japanese with confidence, and will ultimately
teach the japanese, no less than the other East
Asatic nations, that their only trustworthy friend
among foreign powers is the United States.

The only man who really made anything out
of the National Democratic Convention Is. and
b. excepted) was John Quincy Adams the
younger, of Massachusetts,. He was talked Of
in conjunction with the S. p Chase miracle
for the Presidency. But as, for some
reason, the miracle did not take place, the
youth was not nominated for the second sltua-
ton. AS n consolation, however, he received
one whole vote for the Presidency, east by the
d-knOws-who, the delegate from the Lord
lnows-where. 1t was something, but on the
whole we cannot say that it was much. What
this young gentleman said when he met his
manly papa, and was reproached for playing
his cards so i'll, we are not told; but that the
ex-Embassador wigged his offspring ferociously,
there is reason, considering the family temper,
TO believe.

We should like to understand the theory upon
which certain Republican Senators oppose the
confirmation of William NJ. Evarts as Attorney
General. Our rule, with regard to this as to
other matters is to do the best that is possible.
Where earnest, worthy, capable Republicans are
in Office and Mr.. Johnson wants to turn them
out, we say No. But where an Office is vacant,
and no Republican has been removed to make
it so, we should vote to confirm any fit nominee
who would not use the power thus conferred
to injure the Republican cause, as we assume
that an honorable man would hesitate to do,
considering how he came by it. In short,
vote to confirm able and honest nominees
would be cur rule-a vote to reject such the
very rare exception.
Now who believes William NJ. Evarts incom-
petent? Who holds him uuworthyf who
says that he would accept the office OF Attor-
General by the confirmation of strongly
Republican Senate and use it to prejudice and
niure the Republican causeG Who on earth
imagines that Inc wants to defeat Gen. Grant
and make Horatio Seymour our next President?
Who dreams that the public stomach would
be revOlted by such PrOclamatiOns as this la I,
about the man who "signs himself" Governor
of Florida and him who "vouches himself
Governor of North Carolina, if We had an emf
nent lawyer in Office as the Presidents legal
adviser?
If any one imagines that the Republicans
have anything to gain by Mr.. Eyarts's rejection
do let us know what it is.

We have not doubt that large majority

Yet, were the Republicans to forbear effort, on
the presumption that effort was needless, they
