Texas ns on Example.
Tdb utterly illoeical and contradictory position
beld by the conservatives Is seen whenever they
attempt to discuss the statu of any ot the States
lately In rebellion. 1'or Instance, we find In our
Democratic contemporary the lollowiuc?:
"Texas baa now eone throutjh all the forms
preserved by the taw and the authorities, and
complied with each and every condition imposed
to enable her to resume the control of her own
a fair a. A constitution has been fumed and
adopted, elections have been held in all parts of
the Btate, and on the 9th in8tant the Legislutiue
mot tor the purpose of Inauauratinsr the Gover
nor and putting the machinery of the new Gov
ernment In full and complete motion. 'J hat being
done, all the States will have resumed their old
places under the Constitution, and the last obsta
cle be removed to the ollicial promulgation of
the tact, that iho ( reclamations of 1861 are all
revoked, and the etuto of rebellion, as well as
the Rebellion itself, is at an end as to all the
States."
What "forms prescribed by law," we would
like to know, has Texas pouo throueh. with ?
Toint them out. We know of no "laws" except
those pfcBserl by the law-making power of the
Government.
What "conditions Imposed" has she complied
with? And how, according to the conservative
theory, can "conditions" be "imposed" upon a
Slate to enable her to control her own affairs?
"A constitution has been formed." Who
authorized the flaming of a constitution for
this State "in the Union," as the couservatives
call it? Under what taws was the Convention
assembled ? What competent authority pre
scribed ihe terms and condition-i of member
ship? How much had the people of Texas to
do with all this?
"The machinery of the new Government"
how came Texas to need a new government ?
Who overthrew the old government? According
to the conservative theory, she has been a SUv
in the Union all the time, and lost none ot her
rights by the Rebellion. What usurping aud
revolutionizing power, therelbre, has bem at
work in her midst, overthrowing her eovern
inent and replacing it with something else ?
IIow does conservatism explain this?
"That being done, all the States will have
resumed their o dpiuces under the Constitution."
It secuis, then, that by some meaus they lost
their old places in the Union. But the conserva
tive theory is that they did not and could not.
The conservative theory, then, is a false one.
Texas is a hard nut for our conservatives ta
crack. According to them, she has been in tue
Union all the time, and entitled to representa
tion in Congiess; and yet, for the last year and
more, she has had no Governor, no Legislature,
no Government. She was entitled to two Sena
tors, but there was no Legislature to elect them.
She was entitled to Congressmen, but there were
no laws under which to hold elections, or officers
to give certificates. She has been a State in the
Union all the time, entitled to all the rights and
privileges of a State, aud yet the President is
endorsed in overthrowing her government,
deposing her officers, abolishing her laws, creat
ing a new government lor her.an J Imposing "con
ditions," before even now she can "resume
her old position under the Constitution!" Accord
ing to conservatism, therefoie, there is only
one supreme power in a Stale, and that is the
President of the United States ! He can dpose
governors, disperse legislators, unseat judges,
disregard State Constitutions and laws, call
conventions, prescribe the qualifications of elec
tors, Impose conditions, insist upon the ratifica
tion of Constitutional Amendments, and do
anything and everything according to hU own
trill and pleasure. This is all right. It la only
when , the people of the United States step in,
and through their representatives the constl
tutional law-making power of the nation en
deavor to have some say in this great business
of reconstruction, that the Constitution is vio
lated and Slate rights imperilled !
Now the distinguishing feature of our Gov
ernment is that it Is a government of law.
Whatever is done must be done according to
law. The President is the executive. He cannot
make law. He cannot legally create an office.
He can only act according to the terms of the
laws aa be finds them on the statute-book. If,
therefore, such a great work as that ot recoo
struotion is to be done; if States have lost their
"old places " under the Constitution, and are to
beres-tored; if "conditions" are to be imposed
before they can "resume the control of their
own affairs," all this must be done according to
law. The moment we step outside of law we
have opened the door wide to usurpations with
out limit. Hence it is that the position of the
conservative party, when closely analyzed, with
its blatant avowal of extreme State lights on
the one hand, and its servile endorsement of
the complete overthrow of State organism, on
the other, L-t one of the most dangerous and re
volutionary attitudes ever assumed by any party
in this country. It involves the degradation of
the law-making power of the nation, and its
destruction as an Independent co-ordinate
branch of the Government.
Tbk Age this morning, with an attempt at
sarcasm, remarks:
"We understand that General B. P. Butleb
Las been elected a delegate from New Orleans
to Jack Hamilton's Couventiou, which is to
meet in this city on the 3d of September."
There is more truth than fiction in such a
proposition. After the experiunco of the last
few weeks at New Orleans, we do not doubt but
that the selection of General B. F, Bctlbb
would be the very one in which the true
Unionist would most heartily concur. How
many times thy have prayed to God for the
presence of Butleb, the Almighty only can telL
But one thing is sure, that had he been there
forty murders would not have been consum
mated in broad daylight, and with a diabolism
only paralleled In the French Revolution.
A Wild and Fanatical D octrlne.
The doctrine of State rights was never run to
such extreme and alxiurd lengths by any other
class of men as by our conservatives. In their
anxiety to pet tome basis for their claim of the
right of immediate and unconditional represen
tation in Congress for the late Rebel State,
they lay down doctrines which are the most
revolutionary and anarcmcal that ever have
been advanced In our country. The idea that by
no possibility can the people of a Stale lose their
right to representation; that they may secede,
as the Rebel States did, and in their organized
capacity make war upon the nation, and at the
same time be entitled to have representatives
sitting In the councils of the very
Government they are endeavoriug to
verihrow, thus at the same time committing
all the crimes of traitors an enjoying all the
riahts of citizens, is so absurd that we could not
have believed It possible for any man or set of
men to adopt It. Yet In the letter of Hon.
Thomas Ewino, of Ohio, to Secretary Browning,
wo find this very doctrine elaborated and de
fended. He boldly maintains, that during the
whole Rebellion the Rebel States were entitled
to representation in Congress. The doctrines
adopted by the Wigwam Convontlon lead to the
same lcsulU A State may carry on war against
the United States, and at the same time send
Representatives and Senators to control its legis
lation, squander its resources, or turn all its
powers aaaiust itself. According to this theory,
the Rebel States, during ourlnte struggle, might
have sent up sufficient members, so that with
the help of Northern Coppei heads, they could
have disbanded our army and secured the
triumph of the S'juth. They miaht have voted
at the Presidential election in 18G4, and with
the help of one or two Northern Slates might, 1
pribitpf, have elected Jeff. Davis President.
To these absurd resul!sdoes the Conservative
theory lead. It Jo not logically as respectable
as Iho secession doctrine was, for tht went
upon the principle that a man could not claim
to be a Confederate cttizen and United States
citizen at the same time. When a Rebel State
voluntarily seceded, and went to war, it did not
have the impudent hardihood to maintain that
it still had the right ot representation in the
very Government it was endeavoring to destroy.
Such an absurdity was reserved tor the advo
cacy of our Wurwam poll icians and philoso
phers.
The Southern States very well understood that
when in their organized capaoiiy they seceded
iiom the Union, tornied a ne- confederacy, and
went to war against the Uiiited Stites, tliy
voluntarily abandoned all their rights aud privi
leges in the old Government. Thoy had embarieJ
upon the stormy sea ot revolution, and they knew
very well tnat tViey had staked their all upon it. .
The supremely absurd idea that, if they should
tail, they could at one? step back into their old
places in the Union, had not occurred to them.
It never did cccur to tnem until Northern dema
gogue? onxioiiB to use the political power of the
South for partisan purposes put it into their
beads. They very well undeisiood that they
could never resume theit position in the Union
again without comoriniag to the results ot the
war. They would have nono bo ore this, had
they not been deluded anil misled by the very
Fame class of men who before the war so wol'ully
deceived them in regard to Northern sentiment
and purposes.
This idea that Htutcs can jump out ot the
Union and into it again at pleasure; that they
can make war against the Umou and yet pre
serve all the riuhts aud privileges of States iu
the Union; that they can be traitors and remain
good citizens; that Rebellion don't divest thos'!
who participate in it ot auy ot their rights; (hat
hi all matters of national concern there is no Jit'
ferince between loyal States and disloyal oues,
is one that the common sense of the people
spurue. It may be dressed up and tricked out,
and called Union, and peace, and all that, but
the people will see in it nothing but the fanati
cism of State rights run mad.
A Test Case.
The military Government of Texas is withdrawn
by proclamation of the President. Wo could
ask no more complete refutation of the conser
vative doctrines in regard to the States lately In
rebellion than Is furnished by this instance.
Not a single principle which they call vital but
what has been completely trampled underfoot
in the reconstruction of this State. We would
ask thoughtful men to go back over the succes
sive steps by which the original State Govern
ment of Texas was overthrown by the President;
a military Government put in Its place; a conven
tion finally called to create a new 8tate Govern
ment; tuts new Government at last set up, and
the military Government withdrawn and see
bow far he can reconcile all these acts with the
absurd and monstrous doctrine that the late
Rebel States have been all the time In the Union,
lo.-t none of their rights by the Rebellion, and
ure entitled, therefore, to immediate and uncon
ditloual ieprcsentatlon in Congress?
The Testimony ot General Lee.
In our paper to-day will be found the testimony
of General Alfbkj L. Lek, of Kansas, in regard
to the New Orleans massacre, of which ne was
an eye-wituess. General Lee was one of our
bravest cavalry officers during the war, and held
the office of Judge of the Second Judicial Circuit
in Kansas at the commencement of the Rebel
lien. He is a man of high character, and his
testimony can be relied on as correct.
A Deleqite in Trouble. Cuthdhbt Bullitt,
United States Marshal of Louisiana, who headed
one of the delegations from that State in the
Wigwam Convention, is said to be Implicated in
cotton frsuds in New Orleans, by which the
Government was defrauded out of a large sum
ot money.

Auifuv20, 18S. f
The two week that baro elapsed sinoe the date of
my lant loiter trom this point hare not been without
their effeots upon the TitlnRo Dt the sea. Almott
every sojourner has become pose-sed with the Idea
that the "seasoa" i taat epproaotiing its end, and
hundreds have already earned this notion to an ex.
treme point by bundling up tueir baKuraare and
bctakinv tbemselvee to their city homes. The oold,

people into suoh tribulation during the oarly part of
last week, was oqually unfonuunto for Atlantic. City

"The Bath of tho Season.'
A great many fine flourtuhea have been wasted oror
"the hep of the season." W hy is it that no one has
discovered that there is within the range ot possi
bility such a thing as "the bath of the season f" The
nocessBry accompaniments are wind, and rain, and
bail. Let trauailleurg had all these In great abun
dance, and the result was that they were led to envy
the lot ot the fishes a thing suroly that was never
beard of in history or story before. Half an hour
ater, as they galloped back to the hotel, they felt as
if they had received a new lease of life, only they
were a htt e weak in the knees, and a few cold chills
otept down their backs. For suoh bodily ailments
bero is an efficient remedy. It was applied with
nsiant and satisfactory results.
Among the other events whioh have added to the
attractions of Atlantic City during the past fow
days was
The Hop at at the Surf House on Satur
day Evening,
Every body present was disappointed. Owing to
the numerous departures during the past week, a
slim attendance, and a slow time generally, were
confidently predicted In certain inoredulous q Jar tors.
But the large dining saloon was filled with a seleot
and Jubilant company, in whioh every establishment
of repute on the island was well lepresented. Herr
Heirmann,' and his companions of the "Satierloe
Band," were in their best mood, and gave forth
cttfical strains which would bear no mark ot cntf
cum. As they return to Philadelphia in a week, to
inaugurate the tall and winter campaign in the oity,
they doubtless lelt it incumbent upon them to out
fiddle and out-ougle any of their previous efforts.
And tin they did.
The dancing was entered into with a rival intent
to outtrip TerBichore successfully, of oourso. ihe
laurels of the goddess lost much of tholr greenness,
an the nimble loot of certain young ladios whom I
could mention, but will not, lor their modesty's
sako whirled unth'inglv through waltz and galop
and lauoeia, irom eight o'clock till nearly midnight.
It was the last bop of the season, and they too could
not forbear to take the utmost advantage ot suoh an
opportunity.
A l"let Sabbath
was the nocessary sequence to the exhaustion of
Saturday night. The "hail bata" was the only
unusuai episode. All the churches wero well filled
This was especially the case at the Catholio Mission
Cbaptl, to whioh lares number! resorted for the

Deoplte the taot tait the best and most invigorat
