Hygienies of Freedom.

The philosopher of the New York
Tribune denouuces as base fslsity the
fact that during ard since the war the
negroes South have diminished rapidly
ia numbers. He insists that the new
condition in which the African finds
himself is good. not only for his morals,
but his health. Without discussing the
truth Of the propositionrthe New Or
leans Crescent expresses the opinion
that Greeley finds the facts Of the case
Jus, suited TO his hand, whatever may be
their complexion. If the statement Of
negro decreasess not true, then the asser
tiou is a base invention Of the copper
heads and reconstruction is triumphant
both politically aud hygienically. But,
IL it is true, then, triumphantly asks the
Tribune, what comes of the tWaddie
about negro supremacy Why, simply
this, we may reply to the Tribune. the
fewer in number the negroes become, as
long as they are efficient allies Of Rsdi'
calism, just so loRg Radicslism viii try
20 make their votes count in its favor.
. IL they had been in a majority in the
South, the Radicals would have OOntented
themselves with letting them vote. in the
expectation that this would be sufficient
for their purpose. Bat, as the negroes
were in a minority, they found it neees'
sary to disfranchise white men in orde
70 make sure Of the success Of their plan
The trouble ia that, as lOug as radicalisu
remains dominant, there is no KNOWN
when this process will cease. The Rad
ical plan is TO get ali the power they ear
and keep al they get, regardless Of tn
means. and regardless even Of their owl
urofsssed doctrines. II the negroes Dc

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Wooley ac-
counts for the 800, 900 as follows: Part,
he says, was spent on his private business
and that of his client, and part was
handed to Ransom Van Valkenburg, of
New York, at a convivial party; the wit
ness believing at the time that he was
giving it to Mr.. Shock. He denies any
disrespect to the House or Managers, and
files an affidavit from Ransom Van Walk
enburg, Robert Strong, Cornelius Wen
del and C. H. Shelley, fully setting forth
the disposal of the money.

The washington Election.

A telegram to The morning papers rep
resents the excitement at the national
capital. on the occasion of forming the
new city government yesterday, as IN
tense. Both parties claimed the offices,
and general squabble eusued. Certi-
fcates of election had been given the
Radicals, and the retiring Mayor bad
given certificates to the Conservatives.
The two equally divided bodies met IN
the Aldermanic Chamber; and each
having elected presiding officer, much
confusion ensued, and the presence OF a
strongN police force alone prevented
violence. a Radical member OF the COM
miitee, appointed to canvass the votes,
announced the election Of Ssyles j..
Bowen by SO votes. This was persistently
denied BY the opposition. Bowen ap-
peared and was sworn in by Justice
of The Peace, when Mr. Bowen, acting
under legal advice, sent force Of lock-
smiths, who opened The doors, and he
now has full possession.
The Conservative members Of the
Board Of Aldermen have entered on the
Journal protest Of what they character
ize an illegal proceeding Of the minority
of the Joint Convention, in declaring
ssyles J. Bowen. Mayor elect They
further protest against the tao negroes
IS members from the first ward, as none
bat Ekite male citizens, they say, are en-
titled to seats in the Council The Rsdi-
Gals, although not united in protest,
are equally emphatic in asserting the
correctness Of their own course. 1t is
not known how the trouble will be sd-
iusfed

Conservative Tennessee, in The persons
of it's delegated representatives, meets
or perhaps we should rather say has
met, at the State Capitol to-day. Every
county in the commonwealth has sent ~
its Representatives, and whatever, there
fore, the action or expression Of the body
| il will be that in the direction and utter
Ance of which the views and wishes oil
all shall have been consulted. 1t will be
the position and voice of the party In
the State. 1t is therefore to be hoped
that such course may be pursued as
time shall prove TO have been the wises'
and most judicious. Delegates will be
appointed to the National Convention,
which meets in New York on the 4.h Of
July next, and we cannot doubt that the
heat and truest men will be selected in
every instance. The delegation will be
instructed also as to their course in the
nomination of a standard bearer in the
pending Presidential contest, and in
instrncting its delegation we trust the
Convention may be governed by wise
discretion, aud full realization of the
actual relation which the party in Ten
nessee bears to the National party. The
LEDGER has already given expression to
the view we have taken of this matter, and
we believe our opinions to be in unison
with those of the mass of rejecting
minds in the party. Whatever our
choice might be, we should feel a delicacy
in seeming to dictate to the National
party, and what we would condemn In
ourselves individually, we should equally
condemn in those who are our represen-
tatiyes. We do not believe the Nash
Vile Convention will send their delega-
ton to New York trammeled with
instructions, but that they will see mt to
trust their individual judgments and
the common interest they have at stake
in the nomination of the man who shall
be the first choice Of the North. 1t should
rest with the great body of the Democ-
racy North to select their captain in the
fight, and not with Us who form, at best,
mere skirmish line, if not removed
altogether from the field. The action OF
large majority of the County Conven'
tions assures US that noninstruction
will predominant aud prevail at Nash
vile.
Aside from its course with regard to
the National Convention, the Tennessee
Convention has work to do within the
limits of the State even more Important
than its participancy in, or yet the man
ner in which it participated in the Presi-
Dental nomination. 1t rests with 1t to
organize the party within the State and
nut it upon a footing for the campaign,
and this latter work we trust 1t may |
thoroughly and effectively perform. This
done, Tennessee may do work in Novem-
Der vastly more important to her own
and the country's welfare than aught she
may do in July.

TRoUBLB WITH SOLDIERS IN MONRoE-The
Monroe lntelligencer of the I'd says:
LAST Thursday night. about IL O'Clock, eight
soldiers managed TO get away from their camp on
the other side of the river and came to town
where they attempted to force an entry into the
store Of Antoine Overton 0verton finally gave
them the key when they helped themselves and
colored man named Allen Rounds to everything
they wanted. After being In the store for some
time, they learned that number Of colored men
had congreRated in the rear OF town for the pur.
pose OF attempting TO arrest them. They then
concluded TO leave, but were followed BY the
colored men to the river bank. where some twelve
or fifteen shots were fred by both parties. Sheriff
Wsper had, 10 the meantime. been called on by
Overton and appeared on the scene; to his cali
that they should stop, the reply was a bullet, or
rather couple OF them, after which the soldiers
run along the edge of the water towards the
lower part OF town. Sheriff wisner followed
them along on the street, and when nearly oppo-
site the icehouse beaded them of. To his call to
stop, that be was the sheriff. they made no answer
when be fred both barrels of his shotgun az
them, causing one man to fall and the others to
balt. He then returned mp town for assistance,
when he met Judge McEnery, and both imme-
oistey started for the scene Of action. On arriv-
los there they found three of the soldiers, who
immediately surrendered their carbines, aud a
fourth one wounded seriously but not fatally in
the head. They disarmed the soldiers and
nssched them 10 jail, the wounded soldier being
sent TO camp. On Friday, the necessary afidavits
being made, the remainder Of the soldiers were
arrested and placed IN jail. On Monday last u
compromise vas made, by which the soldiers were
released from custody on paying the losses TO-
Cured by Overton In their raid. We are sorry for
this occurrence, as heretofore the conduct OF the
men belonging TO this command has been very
quiet and orderly, and we have heard no com
plant made by any one against the men. We
feel certain that Major Webb will take the neces
Outrage.
