Union State Convention.
A State Convention will bo held in the Hall of

supported by the friends of the Union.
The ordeal of war has tried the strength ot our
Government. Its fire has purified the nation.
The defense, of the nation's life has demonstrated
who were its friends. The principles vindicated
in the field must be preserved in the councils of
the nation. The arch enemy of frecd nn must

The Conversation between Mr. Johnson
and a Distinguished Senator."
Tuk Associated Press displayed Its usual
energy this morning In telegraphing the sub
stance of a conversation between a distin
guished Senator and the President, which,
however, appeared in the Cincinnati Gazette
nearly a week since. The subiect-matter of
the despatch is, however, of deep political
interest, as any one familiar with the utter
ances of Mr: Johnson cannot fail to perceive
in the article ample proofs of its authenticity.
The story which has been industriously circu
lated, that it is the intention of his Excellency
to veto the negro suffrage bill should it pass
both Ilouses, receives a confirmation in the
reported conversation.
" The President expressed the opinion that
the agitation of the negro franchise question
in the District of Columbia at this time was
the mere entering; wedge to the agitation of
the question throughout the States, and was
ill-timed, uncalled for, and calculated to do
great harm."
Whether the President or Congress is right
is not a matter tor us to debate. The legality
of any action of the National Legislature rela
tive to the status of the inhabitants of the
District, cannot be denied. The question is
merelv whether such an action would be
expedient, and in all questions of expediency
each is entitled to his own opinion. The issue
opened, should such a bill become a law, is a
wide and dangerous one. Whether it is right
to enter upon that field will be settled by
those In whom we repose perfect confidence,
and who, from their official position, can get
a clearer view ol the bearings of the subject
than can be acquired by a private citizen.
While, however, it seems almost certain
that the suffrage bill will not receive the
Executive sanction, the substance of the con
versation would lead us to imagine that the
amendment reported by the Reconstruction
Committee will be assented to by Mr. J oux
83if. For although "he did not deem any
amendment to the Constitution at all neces
sary at the present time," yet should
such an amendment be desired by the JIouse
he thought that "there was noae better than
a simple proposition, embraced in a few lines
making in each State the number of qualified
voters the basis of representation, and the
value of property the basis of direct taxa
tion." . The argument he used was a power
ful one. He says :
"The qualified voters were, for tho most part,
men who were subject to draft and enlist'uent
when it was necessary to repel invasion, suppress
relKillion, and quell domestic violence and insur
rection. They risk their lives, shed their blood,
and peril their all to uphold the Government,
and give protection, security, and value to pro
perty. It seemed but lust that property should
compensate tor the benetits thus conferred by
(ti'iruying thp expenses incident to its protuctiu'n
and enjoyment."
We have thus b?fore us the opinions of his
Excellency on the two most vital questions of
the hour one in opposition to a great step
in the political advancement, whether for
good or ill, we do not say, of a race hereto
fore oppressed; the other In favor of the
equalization of suffrage influence between all
the sections of the country. Yet the opinions
re so unofficially expressed as not to be
binding upon Mr. Johnson should further
developments compel him to change his views
in relation to their propriety. Those who
have been prophesying a division of the Union
party, and a difference between tho Legislative
and Executive branches of the Government
on the question ot representation, are doomed
to disappointment. There will bo no division,
for all, conscientiously working to accomplish
the common good, will yield all personal dif
ferences to promote the advancement of our
national cause.
The "London Times" in Trouble.
The English escutcheon bears upon it an
apparently bellicose lion, and we imagine
that the London Times should have placed
upon Its coat-of-arms the cfllgv of a growling
tear. Nothing American satisfies the Thun
derer." During the progress of the war it
continually assured the readers of Its sheet
that the establishment of a Southern Con
federacy was altogether Inevitable, and when
the scene closed, it turned upon Its protege
nd abused it 'oundly for proving its vatici
TIIE DAILY EVENiNG TELEGHAPII. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
nations false. The last sublet that has
excited Its .wrath is the possibility of the
United States securing too much credit In
Europe, and thus be placed In a condition to
repudiate its foreign debt. The great organ
is evidently amazed that a young nation
should have paid all the expenses of a war
surh as never entered the brain of John Bull to
conceive, and yet cam out of It In a state of
comparative prosperity. It has not aa yet
appreciated the fact that all our citizens are
part and parcel of the Government, and are
personally Interested in its support. It for
gets that we have no privileged class charged
with the duty of attending to our public
affairs, and that it Is not impossible that the
hod-carrier of to-day may be the chid" execu
tive of to morrow. For Instance, oar Presi
dent now In office Is not only sound on the
goose, but from early experience Is familiar
with the use of that implement. That he
was an excellent tailor does not seem to have
unfitted him for the discharge of the rcponsl
ble duties of the chief magistracy.
The American people are a unit as far as
public affairs are concerned. The Indebted
ness of the nation Is in common. The ctedit
of each one is Involved, and every citizen
owes his pro rata share of our governmental
liabilities. As a general rule, we pay our
honest debts about as promptly as any other
nation upon tbe face of the globe. We have
sufficient internal resources not only to pay
all we owe, but to take a lien upon the Bri
tish Empire, though the sun never sets upon
its domain, and its morning drum-beat is
heard around the world. For years past, our
staples have kept the spindles of England in
motion, and it will not be very long before the
same state of circumstances will again exist.
The keels and bottoms of thousands of their
merchant marine are of American growth and
Yankee construction. Our inexaaustlble
mines have furnished them with tons of gold
end silver, used at times to fit out and appoint
blockade-runners and privateers. We owe
nothing to England except a recollection of
wrong, and we hope the time Is coming when
we will be able to liquidate the bill.
Tbe Times need not grow over-anxious
about our ability to pay for everything that
we buy. We are already In the van of na
tions, and the temporary clouds and darkness
that have surrounded us have vanished in the
light of a glorious day. What we owe Is to
our own people, and they do not betray any
particular distrust of the securities. If the
brilliant editor of the Times should happen to
step into the banking establishment of Jay
Cooke & Co., and observe the men, women,
and children wbo are investing their money
in the bonds of the United States, he would
obtain a new insight into the feeling which
our people have in regard to the credit of the
nation. The utmost farthing now in the
country would be pledged rather than see our
reputation suffer for a single moment.
The legal covering to a piece df gi
gantic swindling was removed by Mr. Samuel
G. Kino, on Thursday. On it we briefly
commented yesterday, but the size of the at
tempt demands that it be laid before the pub
lic as an instance of cool indifference to
justice, and the ease with which the people's
money may be appropriated to other than
proper uses. It would seem that certain un
occupied territory in the neighborhood of
Lemon Hill and tho ash-fields of Fairmount
was taken by the city for public purposes
The land, at the time of taking by the au
thorities, was lying idle, covered with the
refuse of the neighborhood, and totally un
productive. It there was any portion not in
this condition it was an exception to tho rule.
It would not pay Its taxes, and no one was
proud or desirous of being Its owner. Such
was Its condition belore a turn of the wheel
of lortune made it valuable. The result Is,
that a change has come over the spirit of their
dreams, and a large number of our well
known citizens suddenly appear as owners.
Dow long have the title-deeds for the lands
been in their possession? Was the right of
ownership secured by these gentlemen before
or after the Intention of the city was ex
pressed ? On the Assessors' books, waere the
rate of taxation is determined, the property
was declared to be worth $50,000. Such
was the declared value as announced by
the owners themselves. Instead of taking
their assessment as the rate of payment, a
jury of Intelligent citizens must be selected,
with a view to getting a more just valuation.
These twelve peeis reported that the barren
wastes were worth nearly half a million of
dollars, or ten times as much as their owners
paid taxes on. Flow much did this disinter
ested jury receive in hard cash from the
Interested parties for this extortionate valua
tion? Let ua know if ten per cent, on the
advance would be d emed a fair payment?
Any statistics relative to tho purchase of
jurors will be of Interest. Whatever may
have been the cause, the consequence ii a
Bwindle of the treasury out of an Immense
sum of money, provided tho arrangement be
adopted. It is emphatically tho duty of Coun
cils to checkmate this little came, andprotoct
the people. And it is equally the duty
of the city authorities to see that these
property owners are prosecuted for paying
taxes on but fifty thousand dollars, when by
their own acknowledgment their possessions
are worth ten times th's sum. What horrible
convulsions the land has been subjected to in
order that it might be damaged to ten times
Its worth, is unknown; but as it is more than
probable that the value of all property in the
neighborhood will be Increase I by such an
action, and as It Is not unlikely that the own
ers of the damaged land are owners of the
leal estate near by, we think that it would
not be unjust to pay them nothing more thin
the assessed fifty thousand dollars. The suc
cess which has thus far attended the swindle
Is another argument in layor of the, Uataaci-
late purity of juries, and the unceasing vigi
lance wlih which the city Interests are pro
tected. But for the energy of Samuel G.
Kino, Esq., who has our thanks, the munici
pality would have been cheated out of half a
n llllon of dollars. As It is, however, we hope
and believe that the game Is blocked v by the
publicity given to the transaction.
John Cessna and hie Gubernatorial
Nomination. In the Age of this morning Is
published a letter from Jonsr Cessna, Chair
man of the Union State Central Committee,
which Is Intended by its editorial comments to
imply that it has been recently written for the
purpose of denying his attempt to secure the
nomination for Governor. We do not know
what may be Mr. Cessna's designs, whether
It be true or false that he is Intriguing to
secure a nomination ; but whatever may be
his Intention, it Is certain that the letter pub
lished by our Dcmoc-atic contemporary throws
no Ii?ht on the question. It bears upon its
face internal evidence of its being written
yeais ago. We should have thought that even
the party malignity of the editor of that Jour
nal must have failed to hide from him its
tiansparcnt falsity. He says, editorially:
"Certain malicious persons have set on foot a
tale to the effect that the Hon. John Cessna
had not only pone over to the Abolitionists, but
was actually intriguing tor tho Republican nomi
nation lor Governor. It becomes not only a
pleasure but an imperative duty tnat we should
contradict this statement, tojwhich we have
given publication, and which we have Mr.
Cessna s own authoritv for pronouncing 'false
from the ground up.' We publish Mr. Cjss'sna's
explicit and satisfactory letter in full:
"Dear Sir: I hoar that tbere are many reports
about me in Southampton township. Home oi ih-m
are as follows:
" '1. That 1 tiare turned mv coat.
" '2. That I am a Repub loan
" '8 That I am an abolitionist.
" '4. 1 hat I want to set the negroes free, etc., and
perhaps several other.
'"Now, i tuilr authorize you to say for me that
there Is not one word ot truth in any of those
chanres. Tiieyare all false from the ground up.
'I hey are made up by my enemlos for the purpose of
injuring hit election. I Dope tho people of South
ampton to irnahip tare known me too long to sup
pose tbat I will deceive Ibem or lie to taeiu
" '1 def y the worst enemv 1 bare to point to any aot
1 ever did, or any rote I ever gave in the LeglsU
ture, or anywhere else, tbat was not strictly Demo,
cratic. Yours, in haste, Joun Ckssna.' "
No man in his sober senses would to-day write
such a letter as Mr. Cessna's, stating that he
was opposed to freeing the blacks. Nor would
Mr. Cessna declare that he "defies his worst
enemy to point to any act I ever did that was
not strictly Democratic." It Is evident that
he penned the letter three (3) if not four (4)
years ago, and to republish it now, without
date, with the comments of the Age, Is either
an act of unpardonable stupidity or a gratifica
tion of a disgraceful malignity at the expense
of the truth.
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
To the Editor of the Fvtning Telegraph:
Capital and Labor.
Iboxe are man and wife: their combination is no
cessaiy to pioduction. Capital is all the production
of labor. All valuos result from labor of the hand
and the head. Even land has no va'ue, but as it
rest Its from labor. Muscle, bone, and brain are the
trinity which created, and continue to oreate, the
world of capital, over which riutus reigns. Tho
adjustment of a dispute bo t ween man and wifo is one
ot the most difficult questions in practical morals
Milton, one of the I'ress' witnesses for Sunday labor,
advocates separation of married persons, beoause of
unhappy diversities of temper and consequent quar
rels. He (rives twelve reasons, or arguments, for his
opinion. "No ordinance, human or from Heaven,
can bind aeainst the good of man." This is the same
man who wrote "Paradise Lost!" Alas! ho fallen!
But to our topic Quarrels botwon capital and labor
are, like all wars, unprofitable to mankind:
they stop production and tend towards poverty.
And yet, as in family disputes, such quarrels oiten
occur. Strikes for hiehtr wages is a Europoau
fashion, which reformers are striving to make lain
ionahle In America. This middle ground, between
morale and political economy, is beset with thorn?
andbricrs; rock, bills, and plains; peat-mosses,
moors, and strbonian bogs. And yet it must be tra-
vcreod. The question about an equitable division of
products, bot ween capital uud labor, is one which
must ever and anon como up, and cannot possibly
be ignored. The world's hintory shows that, in this
evorlast ng controversy, intolloct comos out victor.
The shrewd and cunning, tho long heads, aro too
much for the roundheads mind predominate! over
matter, bead-work over hand-work. Tho lion's
Bhare accumulates, and his roar terrifies into submis
sion; labor tremblos and crouohos before capital;
tho fecund wife cowers in tho prcsonco of the strong
armed and clcaror-headed husband, fhoso things
meet our eye everywhere.
k Sunday pUntlng and jundaycars aro merely exam
ples of tbe triumph of capital over labor. Such
triumphs cover tbe land and the world, and all ages.
"The poor yo have always with you." They are
results or tin, in the curse it brought with it: "in
the iv. eat of tliy face shalt thou cat broad till thou
return unto the ground." This is inan's dojm as a
sinner; and happy will it be for him if the laboring
man, as he feols the sweat trickling down his lace,
can say to himself, "These briny drops aro God's
allotment for my sin, and there is no sovereign
remedy for them but in the crimson drops which
oozed out in Gelhsomane and trickled down from
Calvary's cross." Ihose take away the curse out of
labor, and convert even weary poverty luto joy and
peace. To these we commend tho oppressed laborer.
But whilst he ought to su'jmlt peacemlly even to
seventeen noun por day but never on Sun
day he may and ho ought to use ail lawlul
mcaiiH to nrooure a more equitable division of
tirodnctit. Anions- these lawlul means are not
strikes and violence This is European; it im.
plies despotic government j it prosupposes the ab
tenceof civil rights and tbe ballot-box. God has
mnviilnd a rational romedv. He has thrown the
protection of law over labor. He iuruishod a pro
phylact o remedy in the babbatic law, and this even
bol'ore labor was mado a curse. Undor this labor
has its protection. Undor this John Quincy Adams
threw himself tor protection. Whon the rlouse of
Representatives were about, to hold a Sunday sos
Blon. rising in the suhlimo dignity of a man con.
scious ot freedom and of freemeu's rights, he ex-
c'aimed, "This House has no Tower to compkl
III TO STAY HERB ON THE SAM BATH-DAY," Let
the down-troddon carineu and printers and all other
oppressed workers arise to this boroio sentiment.
Let them assort it oven whore. Lot them carry it to
the ballot-Dox, and all tho wor d shall know that
American froemon tannot be roduced to tho condi
tion ol French or Italian or Russian serfs.

for colored children. The number ot teachers Is

The wi rV incmen of Ran Francisco have held
