thus concludes:

Washington, July II, ls6s.
I was exceedingly gratided with
the favorable reception which We met
with both throughout the Moth and
by the conservative members of Con
grcss, who fully appreciate the posi-
ton 10 which the Southern people
arc placed. aud who promised US all
the aid ia their power and gave
encouraging opinions regarding the
successful issue Of the November
election. We were assured that With
a proper lspor'meut on the part Of
the South NC cannot fail to succeed.
They oounscllod the greatest degree
Of ps,ionce, even to submissiycness.
/ And 10 this connection | desire 10
bring 70 The attention Of the con
servaiisc people Of this vicinity the
fact, thai the eyes Of the entire North
are upon us Our friends there believe
and are giving circulation to the fact
that the masses OF the people Of the
South are pesceably disposed and
Law abiding citizens. On the other
hand our enemies, the Radicals, arr
strEining every nerve, mag5iiyins
esory report Of the lawlessness and
crime among Us, representing that
the whites cannot be entrusted with
the execution Of the laws and tho
management Of the government, 10
order tina, they may prejudice public

We copy from the Galveston
News:
Austin, Aug. l2-Thc procession
TO the Radical barbecue numbered
about fifty whites and one Thousand
negroes. About Gfteen Germans
headed the procession, with banner
inscribed, No Sunday Law"
The speaking was very tame.
About 4 o'clock the barbecue
broke up BY a general hsticuf be.
tween the colored loyal. No harm
done.
Drunken negroes are abundan, on
the streets.
The Radical leaders are sorspver
the failure. The impression is that
no nomination will be made by the
nominating Convention, which meets
in the morning. The party is badly
dcmoralizcd.
Yesterday afternoon the Sunday
clause was stricken out I, leaves
nothing in the Constitution on this
point, The bill Of rights is ordered

Ben. Wade and Found Wanting

The Pittsburg Commercial is little
too smart to be caught in the Wade trap,
and in keeping its paws out it says:
We cannot help thinking that in taking
his seat in the Court of Impeachment,
Mr. Wade will act unwisely. He may
have perfect right to do it so far as any
law or the Constitution is concerned !;
but for all that we think he will manifest
good sense, and place himself in accord
with the average Judgment of fair-minded
men generally, by abstaining altogether
from participating in the trial. 1t would
be little less than monstrous were Mr..
Wade to reach the White House by his
own vote as juror on the trial of john
son, and it must be conceded that any
participation in the trial will furnish
ground for objection. There could be
no special objection to his being sworn
as United States Senator; but the con-
stitutional provision substituting the
Chief Justice for the Vice President to
preside over the Court, on the ground
that the Vice President was an interested
party, could not have meant that the
Senator acting as the Vice President
might take his seat as juror in the case.
When the time comes for Mr.. johnson to
appear before the Court, we are confident
that Mr.. Wade will manifest proper
appreciation of his position by declining
to sit in the Court. Whatever the yer.
dict may be, such course will be better
for him, for the party to which he
belongs, and for the cause of justice,
which should receive no shock by any
act of his in this important and delicate
connection
