The Negro Convention.

II the negro Convention which framed
the thing they called !" the Constitution OF
Virginia /" should attempt to resssemble IN
this city, ms HussIcUTT intimates that they
will, 1t would undeniably be General STONE.
MANS duty to disperse them at the point OF
the bayonet. A similar attempt to usurp
powers caused the New Orleans riots. The
Virginia Convention, .so-called, died natu-
raj death three months ago and we showed
at the time, from the reconstruction acts
themselves, that it could not be resusci-
tated. It's members do not represent the
people of Virginia. Many of them are
ignorant negroes, as LINDSEY, HODGES,
&c.. others are unprincipled scaiawags,
as HuNNIcuTT, WILLIAMSON, &c.; others
are adventurous carpet-baggers, as PORTER,
MADDOX, THAYER, and numerous others.
But it is needless to designate these classes
by name. Everybody knows that they are no
more capable of representing the real, tax
paying, intelligent people of Virginia than
the penitentiary convicts are of represent
ing the honor and honesty of the State. II
was grievous outrage upon Virginia, and
burning shame to Congress, that they were
nermitted to assemble here once as constl-
tution-makers. But to allow them to come
back, and again engage in the nefarious
work Of enriching themselves and improve
rishing everybody else-disfranchising in
telligent whites and enfranchising ignorant
negroes-choosing Presidential electors,
and casting the vote of State which de-
spises them as traitorous scoundrels-would
be insult added to injury. We ask General
SLOVENIAN to keep his eye upon the move
ments of these disturbers Of the puohc
peace.

How to Elect Grant.

The Radicals have at last hit upon the
shortest method Of securing the votes Of
all the southern States for GRANT. South
Carolina formerly required her Presiden-
tial electors to be chosen by her Legisla-
ture; and, although she was slandered and
viliticd because of this odious feature Of her
Constitution, yet her example is to be made
a precedent for Radical fraud, and the car
pet-baggers and scalawags Of the negro Le-
gislatures Of the reconstructed southern
States are to choose electors to cast the votes
Of those States for GRANT. We suppose
there is a great probability that this scheme
will be carried out and if Congress meets
in September next, in pursuance of its reso-
luton of adjournment, it will doubtless
empower the negro Conventions of Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas to choose GRANT
electors in those States.
This is notable scheme. 1t is "short,
sharp, and decisive" mode of elccting
GRANT. White people are to 60 for nothing.
Negroes are to select the next President.
1t has for us the merit of being not less q
WI ong upon the northern people than upon
the southern. VIII they stand such acts Of
violence and revolution Will they igno-
bly, sit down in their degradation and suf-
fer themselves thus to be insulted and spit
upon? We shall see.

Governor w els.

In the debate in the House of Represen-
tatives last Friday upon the new bill re-
ported from the Reconstruction Committee
for the government of Virginia, Mississippi,
and Texas, Mr.. BECK, of Kentucky, made
long and able speech, from which we take
the following extract:
"Gentlemen on the Reconstruction Com
mittee will bear me out in saying that, SO
far at least as Virginia is concerned, this is
an effort on the part of the ultra Republl-
can leaders there to set aside and nulllfy
the reconstruction acts in that State. The
object of this bill Though do not think the
committee concur in that object), the real
purpose of the men who manipulated and
projected this bill, is to put all power into
the hands few ultra Radical leaders IN
that Convention, and to deprive of the right
of suffrage q, 900 white men in that State.
The present provisional Governor of Nir-
ginia Governor Wells) came before the
Reconstruction Committee, and when called
upon by our chairman to state what he
wanted, he said, almost in the very
words which now repeat land the
committee will sustain me IN the
statement) that in the first place he
wanted liberal appropriations to carry on
the election. That we have given them !;
we have appropriated $4,000. He wanted
no further registration, because, as he said,
there were to-day $4,000 white men in the
State of Virginia who, under the present
reconstruction laws, are entitled to be re-
gistered and to vote, and if registered they
would carry the State against the Republic
can party. He wanted to disfranchise 25,-
900 white voters in that State. He further
said that if they were permitted to adhere
to the registration which took place last
year, when great many white men re-
fused to register, they would carry the
State, as they could, if an early day was
fixed, get the negro vote solid and get
enough white votes to give them majority
for the Constitution of the Radical can
didates. The Reconstruction Committee
treated the infamous proposition with the
scorn and contempt it deserved. There
was not member Of the committee who
did not refuse to adopt that proposition"
This is true picture of our new Cover
nora man so dead to honorable impulses
that he had the unblushing assurance to
nropose q measure which even Radical Con-
gregsmen would not uphold. When a man
has sunk thus low, there are no lower
depths which he will not sound if opportu-
nifty offer and temptation toll him. Such
conduct calls for no comment. Honorable
men will know how to treat the carpet-bag
Governor who could find it in his heart to
nronose to disfranchise twenty-five thou
sand white men, and by this means, and by
carrying the negro vote solid," secure his
own election TO an office which the respect
able people of the State would never con-
sent to confer upon him.

Mr.. Chase,

The letter Of Mr.. VALLASDIGHAa says
that if Ohio had not sooner gone over to the
supnort of Mr.. HENDRICKS in the Demo-
cratic National Convention Mr.. CHASE
would have received the nomination within
An hour after the time when SEYMOUR got
it. We have no doubt that this is fact.
Mr.. CHASE was near being nominated.
There was universal opinion among the
lobby members Of the Convention, and all
New Workers, that he could be elected
without doubt. We were not of those who
favored his nomination. How far a Demo
era. would have been justified in voting for
him in Convention we will not undertake to
say: but If the following paragraph con-
,ains the truth, the Democrats did we'll to
let him alone. 1t is taken from Utica
letter to the Chicago Tribune:
Judge Underwood, of Virginia, who is
here in Utica to attend the commencement
of Hamilton College, Of which Horatio Sey-
inour, Governor Hawley, Gerrit Smith, and
himself, are graduates, says that he has
seen Chief Justice Chase since the Demo
cratic nominations were made. Judge I'm
derwood was co-laborer with Mr.. Chase in
Virginia reconstruction, and is still friendly
to him. MIR. Chase expresses himself as a
supporter Of Grant and Colfax. He states
that the Democrats treated him, with
treachery and design, assuring him of the
nomination at New York as foregone mat
ter, but asking his cooperation in little
% r1o
they might harmonic in Convention,
and not estrange the great minority OF
Western or Brick Pomeroy Democrats.
Leading him so from admission to admls-
sion, they magnifed and exaggerated his
relinouishmcnts with the intent to bring
his friends over to their nominee, while
they should cast himself aside. The Chief
Justice claims that the only interest he had
in the Democratic nomination was to secure
the permanencc of universal suffrage by
assisting the Democratic party to ac-
knowledge it. With the minority party
moved up in charity nearly to the position
of the majority, Mr.. Chase believed that
the suffrage could never he again assailed
by either. He seems to have had belly
full Of Democratic professions, particularly
OF the kind that New York politicians give,
and in this campaign, going back to his
cardinal humanities, has concluded to hate
his last enemies the most"
No decent man ought to speak to UNDER
WOOD, much less allow him to call him
friend. Therefore we are inclined to take
what UNDERWOOD says cum grano sails.
He is not to be believed. Yet there may be
some truth in what he says of the Chief
Justice, whose ambition is cankerous. We
heard, indeed, in New York that he had
made all the concessions demanded of him,
and was ready to accept the nomination
upon platform that would have been ac-
ccptable even to the secesh generals. 1t
now appears that these concessions were
never made by Mr.. CHASE himself, but were
" exaggerations of his accomplishments"
whatever these may be. If the Chief JUS
ticc does really degrade himself by talking
such stuff as the above to so miserable u
dog as UNDERWOOD, then we thank our
stars that he is not the nominee.

REPuDIATIoN.-We find day after day
new evidence of the dishonesty Of the
northern people. We have from the be-
ginning predicted that they would repu-
diate their national debt, and of course ex-
pressed our regret that they should be so
vile and foolish as to be liable to such
suspicion. The platforms of the two par
ties indicate that q large majority of the
northern people are regulators. GREELEY,
however, is not disposed to "giye it up So"
whatever his party's platform says. Now,
as in 1852, he supports the candidate OF his
party, but "spits upon the platform"
Hear him:
Even were the Republicans knavish
"enough to run race with the Democrats
in reputation, they would surely be
beaten for if we should propose to cheat
the bondholders out of half their honest
due, the Democrats would cut under, and
beat US by proposing not to pay at all"
That is substantially what has been done.
The Radical Convention proposes to pay the
debt according to ''the letter and spirit of
the contract" but takes good care not to tell
us what either the letter or the spirit of the
contract calls for. The Democratic Conven-
ton comes out boldly for greenbacks. Then
THAD STEVENS, BEAST BUTLER, and other
Radicals, declare that the Chicago platform
also means greenbacks, and nothing else.
This is the present state of the game. Of
course the next move must be made by the
Democrats, and, as there is no halting-place
between their present position and that ad-
vanced one to which GREELEY alludes, they
must come out fat-footed for "repudia
ton" Sorry for GREELEY; but there is no
help for it.
