AS to the people of the States lately forming
the Confederacy, it is evident to those who
have observed the ntterances of public
opinion that they are in no mood for embark
ing in a renewed contest, either on their own
account or for Others. Though entertaining


cordial hatred of the bad faction ruling at


Washington, and deeply feeling the baseness


with which the Terms of surrender have been


habitually violated, they have no wish to re-


sumo the contest. They would gladly wit


ness the expulsion of the Jacobins from the


positions which they hold and from the
power which they usurp, by any legal means


whatsoever; nor would they look with indif-
! ference upon contest between them and the
conservative element of the Northern people,
Iif the latter find their burdens too heavy to
bear. But there is no warlike spirit prevalent

The question between the Presi-
dent. and Congress is more one
of the power to name conditions up
on which the lately insurgent States
may resume their Federal rights
than one of the actual status Of the
States themselves. Whether in or
out of the Union by their act of Sc
cesslon and war, the President acted
upon the assumption that their re
latons were so changed that he
could impose conditions that it
would have been impertinent TO de-
mand of the States adhering to the
Union. There seems to be no dis
position on the part of Republicans
or Democrats to question his pro-
ceedings so far. as they went The
fact is that he exacted terms OF the
States as precedent to their release
from military control, and their re-
turn to civil rule.


So far then as the right TO name
conditions is concerned, it appears
to be conceded on all hands. Is it
invested solely in the PresidentE Ii
can be shown by his proclamations
and letters relating to civil reorgani-
cation in these States, that he did
not in the summer of 1865 so regard
it. The Provisional Governors and
Conventions were told that they
must wait the assembling Of Con-
gress before the work could be com
pIeted, and it was the President
himself who declared his policy
simply as an experiment implying
that if it was not found to answer
the desired end it might be set
aside and the whole work be begun
again de moro. rhe assumption that
he alone is authorized to name the
terms and make the coalitions upon
which these States may resume their
places in the Union is dogma of
later growth, encouraged by every
rebel and secessionist in the land
who feard Congress might not be SO
generous in its dealings. and there
fore seek to evsde its action by de-
nying to it the power to act


There is no need, therefore, to go
into any learned and abstract dis
cussion on the question of the rela-
ton of these States. The fact is

THE CROWD.


AS for numbers, there is no use in
attempting an estimate. People have
been coming here in hundreds by
every train and every steamboat fol-
two days-the lame, the halt, the
blind, the old and the young, the
bummers of 1862 and the bummers
of 1865. The hotels cried enough
before the delegations had fairly
commenced to arrive, and people
have since been finding accommoia-
tions wherever they could. A ma
jority of them are unable to find any
place to stow themselves for the
night.


FREE COMMONS FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE.


The citizens Of Pittsburgh have
shown n degree of hospitality that
marks a new era in American poll
tics They have thrown their doors
and houses open to strangers with
out asking any questions as to
where they come from and who they
are. AS an instance, the editor of
the Pittsburgh Commercial went to
dinner to-day and found fifteen men
whom he had never seen before, com
fortably helping themselves at his
festive board; and so of hundreds of
others. Men walk about the streets
till dinner, and then march into the
nearest house and say they want
something to eat. The only pass
port required is badge with the in
scription "Boys in Blue on it.


MUSIC FOR THE MILLION.


Last evening two steamboats, came
up the river loaded to the guards
with delegates. They kept their
drums beating and flies playing all
night, and such racket never was
heard before and never will be again
till Gabriel beats saints and sinners
to quarters for the last judgment.


BUTLER ARRIVED.


Ben. Butler arrived at midnight
last night, and, late as it was, he
was not permitted to go to bed with
out making speech to an immense
audience.


BOUND TO RUN ALL NIGHT.


There was no cessation of the
noise and enthusiasm during the
night, the thousands who could get
no beds to sleep in were determined
that those who had beds should not
enjoy them, and so far as restis con-
cerned there has been no night in
Pittsburgh since Sunday.


The only wonder is where all the
people come from, and where they
will all go to when the demonstra-
ton is over. The testimony OF rail
road men and others is that there
never were so many persons in Pitts
burgh before. Itwas thought there
was big crowd here when they eel
ebrsted the surrender of Lee, but
compared with the throng of to-day
the streets were then empty, and as

n POISONOUS CoLLARs-A few days AGO we
observed in the Boston Trapeler statement
OF young man being poisoned in the neck


and face by absorbing into his system by
sweating process, the poisonous preparation
used in enameling paper collars. A case Of
the kind has come under our observation.
Mr.. Sumner G. Murch, the shipnews collector
OF the Adoertiser, who was one of the dele
gates to the Printers Typographical Union, al
Its late meeting at Chicago, was poisoned in
the neck and face badly from the use of one OF
the enameled collars. Painful boils broke out
all over the neck and face. The surgeon to
whom he applied Immediately discovered that,
in sweating, he had absorbed from the collar ar
senic, which had been used for highly glazing
the collar. He is now rapidly recovering
from the poisonous effects. Probably there is
no danger to be apprehended ifthe person who
wears such collars does not perspire; but the
safest way is to get such as do not contain


these poisonous ingredients; and Gray's mold
ed collars do not. &
