lioughry "Li, tie Phil." stands like
a levee in himself, keeping back the
turbulent current of treason that
threatens to sweep over the low lands
of Louisiana. His actions have met
with hearty approval by all, excepting
the nunc who condemned him and his
deeds in the Shenandoah Valley. The
President ami his coadjutors have
finally decided to open a ithvw by
his removal and we expect the ollicial
news by next mail. We only hope
the same torrent that brings woe and
dcvaMaiion upon Louisiana mav be
the means of bearing Sheridan to that
position beside (Irant which he so
richly deserves.
Tilt', harmonizing of what promised
to be two hostile factions in the Repub
lican Richmond Convention is another
blasting of Copperhead expectations.
All things conspire to hasten the final
doom. Cursed at home and repudia
ted abroad, Treason and Democracy
will find a grave in 'G8, so deep that
the "last trump" .shall uot arouse
them !
Colfax's speech which we publish
on this week's outside fully meets the
argument which we have so often p-.il-lished
and contained in the President's
last veto message. If we should treat
the theories of Democracy as advanced
by the President in the sophistical way
which he would impress them upon
the people, perhaps, they would be
dillicult to overturn. Literally, if the
country was not contorted by political
throes, if the war, recently passed, was
a phantasy, no traitors seeking the life
of the republic, no political heresies to
combat, no obsolete doctrines attempt
ing to be resurrected, all peace and
good will, then would they be correct
in thc main. As it is, viewed in thc
light of common sense and pure love
of country who can deny but that
they stand for nought ?
Oxe of the most interesting facts
brought to light by the Surratt trial,
confirming the kind treatment of Rebel
prisoners in Northern prisons, was
the records of thc Eluiira Prison,
which were taken to Washington for
use in the trial. It was found record
ed that, during the spring of 18G3,
five thousand and twenty-five Rebels
were confined there, nnd that only six
deaths occurred during three months.
In the face of these facta we see it con
stantly paraded by Copperhead jour
nals that Southern prisoners were even
,raorc barbarously treated in the North,

It is interesting, to watch the career
of pubjic men, especially if their his
tory be known. Take Grant for an
illustration. Before the war he was
nobody, so to speak. Played out lor
business he Wight a commission in
the Confederate armv, and was by M.
Fielding, of Arrow Uock, warmly rec
ommended to (Jen. Claiborne F. Jack
son, who promised Grant a commission
in the Confedtcderate army. At the
earnest solicitation of Gen. M 'demand,
no gave up n.s ea an..
commission mm L.i.coln-wen into
he so-culled I mon army and-thc
balance of nh.story is fan.. .ar to nil.
How small the rock that changes the
he gave upthis idea and accepted a
course of the rivulet which crows to
,
a torrent intime, and is then lost in
the ocean !

democratic sheet is thc "premonitory

Thus it will be seen that Copper
head legislators, including all their
leading representative men, acting on
the Sliarswopd doctrine, strongly op
posed a measure which has saved

only carried and became a law by the
active and earnest eflbrtsof Republican
legislators. And it is only fair that in
this reference to a historical fact con

in our financial progress, full credit
should Iks awarded Senator Council for
the influential and effective part he
took ia reaching the results from which
the State now reaps such vast benefits.

passed olf quietly without a single
disturbance. The saloons were all
closed. The best of order prevailed.
The 25th Infantry were stationed in
Court Square during the day, but was

ment the whites and negroes were to
have separate voting places, but the
latter finding they could not all vote
there, sought other polls in crowds,
and then were unable to all vote, ow
ing to the short time allowed. The
city gives Brownlow 2,202, majority.

Botts, who also read the address and a
platform, which, being submitted to
the meeting for its indorsement, was
withdrawn, the opposition being vio
lent. Mr. Hunnicutt opposed adjourn

ing yesterday till to-day was to give
Mr. Botts and others, who had not
participated in the proceedings, an op
portunity to be heard, and hoped the
Convention was not afraid to hear
what they had to say. If there was
any political tomahawk between Mr.
Botts and the Republican party, it was

carry the .State by thirty thousand
majority, and that the ship was large

created great confusion. Thc speaker

WAsniNGTCW, D. C, Aug. 4, Ex
Judge l'ierrpont restenhiv, in hisareti
mcnt to tho jury in the Surratt csiso,
made an important statement, which
he verified by producing the original
record relative to tho execution of Mrs.
Surratt, It has been chaived, it will
be rememlxTcd, that thc onler for Mrs,
Surratt's execution was handed to the
President by a member of tho Cabinet
and that it was signed without consul
tation. Tho following verbatim ex
tract from Judge Pierrpont's speech
tells the story. He said :
"I have not come here for the pur
pose of proving that Mrs. Surratt was
guilty, or that she was innocent, and I
do not understand why that subject
was lugged into this case in the mode
that it litis been. Xor do 1 understand
why tho counsel denounced tho mili
tary commission that tried her, and
tlius ,miim,,1y ensured in the sever-
est manner the President of the United
States. The counsel certainly knew
when they were talking about that
tribunal, and when they were thus
denouncing it, that President John
son ordered with his own hand
that commission ; that the President
signed the warrant, that directed the
execution ; that President Johnson,
when that record was brought liefore
him, brought it before his Cabinet,
and that every single member voted
upon it, and that they voted to con
firm the sentence, and that the Presi
dent with his own hand wrote his
confirmation of it, and with his own
hand signed the warrant. I hold in
my hand the original record, and no
otlicr man, as it appears from that pa
per, ordered it. .No other one touched
this piper, and when it was suggested
bv some of the members of the com
mission that in consequence of the age
: aw 1,10 M'x vt' 5Irs" '"'nitt, it might
jiorviiiiv lie i igiu in cimiige oer sen

there it is." Handing the paper to
