ifTom the CINCINNATI dazette.t
Mr.. Thomas W. Conway's letter, which
we have published, has anticipated the i'm
portant points in the discriminating defense
made by the United States marshal and the
collector at New Orleans for their mitrail-
leuse convention. Their reasons are quite
~contr adict0ry. They charge reconciliation
of violence to excuse their use of military
force. The military might be called in to
take possession of any convention upon
that plea. Their charge that Senator West
said, 1--WE will have control of that conven-
ton or blood" has been pronounced false by
that gentleman. They charge that the Gov
ernor's supporters suppressed by violence
all opposition to him; and yet they say that
he came to the convention with about sixty
persons, who were admitted, and that he
went away with his crowd, and that still
eighty-four delegates took part in the con-
-vention, of whom thirty four voted with
2 Warmoth.
This would make Warmoth's party in the
convention ninety -four, and the marshars
party only fifty. We presume there is a
slip somewhere. They charge that War
moth had hired every hall in the city. If
4 so, then surely he had b all for the coRven-
had q hall, then it would have been a safe
plan for the mitrailleuse faction to go, if they
had the superiority in numbers. In short,
the national officers did an unjustifable act,
and they are making reckless accusation to
Justify it.
The United States officers have shown
that they can give no sufficient cause for
holding a Republican convention in the
Customhouse, with United States tooops for
doorkeepers.

Coming to the surface.

We copy this from the New York Com
merci0l Advertiser:
Immediately after the war many South
erners claimed that they must be COM
pensated for the money loss Occasioned by
the freedom of the slaves. This claim has
remained dormant for while, but it is now
preferred by the Richmond Whig, which
proposes to unite the South in behalf of a
claim of IS, 900, 00o, 900, and when the money is
paid. to divide it equally between the whites
and blacks, the latter to receive their share
for the liberation of the ties which bound
them to the slave system, and for the loss
of their masters. The claim Is made large,
so as to secure popularity, and the division
to be made of it insures the cordial and
united support of all parties at the South
except the carpet-baggers, and they would
not dare to oppose in public SO splendid a
largess. The Whig proposes to carry the
measure through Congress by having a
united Southern delegation at Washington.
They would comprise one-third of that
body, and with the aid of Northern Demo
Gratis, and Republicans attracted by the
scent of SO much spoil, success might be ex-
pected and achieved. The subject is COM
mended to political speakers as a sweet
morsel for colored voters.

Pennsylvnnia Central strategy.

1t is reported that Colonel Thomas A.
Scott has concluded negotiation with the
Harper's Ferry Water Power and Manufac-
turing Company for their property recently
purchased of the government at Harper's
Ferry. This is movement in railroad
strategy of great Importance, as it will give
the Pennsylvania combination possession of
point through which it can secure much
shorter route between Washington and the
West than that now being constructed by
the Baltimore and Ohio company. 1t is in
tmated that that the object is to extend the
road from Hagerstown, in Maryland, to
Martinsburg, Berkly county, West Virginia,
per's Ferry, and from thence across the
Shenandoah to Edwards Ferry, where it
will form junction with the Washington
and Ohio road.

From the New York SUM-
SARATOGA, August 24.--Last night an old
man wended his way to the depot. He wore
heavy frock coat of linsey-wooisey and 9
pair of ill-ftting pantaloons with ragged
bottoms. He carried heavy walking stick,
and bore on it heavily as he tottered along.
He was followed by little negro boy carry
ing huge valise. On arriving at the depot
he purchased q ticket for Cincinnati. This
man was old John Harper. When the train
came along he got into car. Turning to
the little negro he said
"Tell Marshall to be careful with the
horse, and to look out for Express as we'll.
I'm little afraid of the leg, and, Tom,
reckon you'd better tell him to give Long
fellow car by himself. But never mind;
reckon Frank III tend to that
The old man couldn't stay in Saratoga, his
disappointment was too great, and for the
first time in a year he lastnight slept apart
from his idoE Ever since he has been here
he has occupied at night place beside his
horse. The adjoining stall was fitted up
with bed, and made comfortable for his
use. Here the old man slept, and perchance
dreamed of the wealth to be increased by
the 6n0rtS OF MS peerless one. but now,
alas, these visions are dispelled, and with q
heavy heart old John Harper departed for
his Kentucky home. This morning Mr..
Frank Harper, the old mans nephew, &C.
companied by the trainer, the stable boys,
and the disappointed Joe Colston, got the
three horses, Longfellow, Express and Lit
tleton-al of them losers at this meeting
together, and enveloped them in woolens.
They started ON walk for the depot.
Longfellow walked little lame. They
went through the back streets and reached
the two freight cars switched on one side
for their use. Express and Littleton were
put into one car, Longfellow placed in the
other. The stablemen got into the cars,
and the latticed doors were closed. The
two ars-yere then hooked on to the train,
and at nine o'clock started for Schenec-
tady, and thence to Buffalo. Not soul
was present, save those who had the horses
in charge.
Helmbold this morning was as fine as
satin He still occupies his stable at the
track. His eye is bright and his appetite
good. Mr.. Babcock said he could go out
and run the four miles to-day just as well
as he did yesterday. Young McCleNan, the
rider of Helmbold, was yesterday given
presents to the value of $4,000 by Morris
sey and Mr.. Babcock, and to-day Mr.. Bah
cock took him out and bought him an ele-
CANT watch and chain.

Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,,
says the Paris American Register, has run
away from England to escape the dinners
and receptions with which he has been
overwhelmed since his arrival in that coun-
try, and is now quietly enjoying life in
Paris. He may be seen any day on the
boulevards or in the places where Americans
most love to congregate, and with his long,
white hair, and fresh, rosy complexion, is
as much an object of attention and interest
as he is in the corridor. Of the capitol or on

and 2 coil Of fine wire and Ellie brought some
muciiage, and in about two hours Mary had
all her companions crowned with tasty chap
lets. These ornaments inspired these little
ones with . desire to dance, and Carrie, anxious
to show what ability she possessed. offered to
act a. musician. But when she took her seat
at the piano, she could only perform long and
elaborate pieces, aud they were executed in .
wretched manner; every few bars she made
some blnnder. and the children could not even
attempt to dance to her music. Mrs May then
invited Mary to show her skill. The little girl
hesitated at first, but finally took Carries
place, and played several sprightly tunes with
precision and taste. The children were de-
lighted, and danced to the suitable accompani-
ment until they were quite fatigued. When
dancing ceased, supper was announced, and
an hour later the children returned home.
Carrie, abashed and humbled, acknowledged
her inferiority to the children she had en-
deavored to slight and disparage, and the incl
dents of that day served to correct her naughty
spirit and reform her foolish views Ellie con-
tinued her friendship with the children, and
Mrs. May renewed her acquaintance with their
mother, and never yet has one circumstance
occurred, which conld canse them to regret
this friendly intercourse with the Poor Neigh-
bors.-Gudrdian Angel.
