New Yore, August 28. To the Rev. Henry

needs, and readjusting the riphts of all sections,
under tbe new order of things, on a basis of law,
order, Christian brotherhood, and justice.
In the call lor tbe Convention, which the un

Your obedient Mends and servants,
Charles G. Halpine, Brevet Urirradier-General
(Chairman); H. W. Slocura, Major-Gcueral;
Gordon Granger, Major-General, Committee.
Rev. Henry Ward Ueechcr'H Reply.
Peekskill, August 30. Charles G. Halpine,
Brevet Brigadier-General; II. W. Slocuui, Mnjor
General; Gordon Granger, Major General, Com
mittee. Gentlemen: 1 am obliQed 10 you tor
the invitation which you have made me to act
as Chaplain to the Convention ot Sailors and
Soldiers about to convene at Cleveland. I can
not attend it, but I heartily wish it, and all
other conventions, of what party soever, suc
cess, Whose object w tho restoration of ail the
States late iu rebellion lo their Federal rela
tions. Our theory of government has no place far a
State except iu the Union. It is justly laken
for granted that the duties and responsibilities
of a State in Federal relations tend to its politi
cal health, and to that of the whole uation.
Even Territories are hastily brought in, often
before the prescribed conditions are fulfilled, as
if it were dangerous to leave a community out
side of the great body politic.
Had the loyal senators ana representatives
of Tennessee been admitted at ouca on the as
sembling of Congress, and, in moderate succes
sion, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Caro
lina, and Virginia, the public mind of the
!routh would have been far more healthy than
It is, and those States which lingered on pro
bation to the last would have been under a
more salutary influence to good conduct than
il a dozen armies watched over them.
Every month that we delay this healthful step
complicates the case. The excluded population.
enough unsettled before, grows more irritable;
the army becomes indispensable to local gov
ernment, and supersedes it; the Government at
Washington is called to interfere In one and
another difficulty, and this will be done in
aptly, and sometimes with great Injustice for
our Government, wisely adapted to its own
proper functions, Is utterly devoid ot those
habits and unequipped witn the instruments
which fit a centralized Government to exercise
authority in remote States over local affairs.
Every attempt to perform such duties has
resulted in mistakes which have excited the
nation. But whatever imprudence there may
be in the method, the real criticism should be
against the requisition of such duties ot the
General Government.
The Federal Government is unfit to exercise
minor police and local government, and will
inevitably blunder when It attempts it. To
keep a half score ot States under Federal autho
rity, but without national ties and responsibili
ties: to oblige the central authority to govern
half, the territory of the Union by Federal civil
officers and by the army, Is a policy not only
uncongenial to our ideas and principles, but
pre-eminently dangerous to the spirit of our
Government. However humane the ends sought
and the motives, n is, in iaci, a course ot in
struction, preparing out Government to be ties-
Dotic. and familiarizing the people to astretch
of authority which cuu never be other than dun-
ecrous to liberty.
1 am aware that good men are withheld from
advocating the prompt ana successive artmisbton
of the exiled States by the tear, chiefly, ol its
effect upon the parlies, and upon the freedinpn.
It is said that, u aa muted to congress, me
Southern Senators and Representatives will
coalesce with Northern Democrats and rule the
countrv. Is this nation, then, to remain di
mem bered to serve tbe ends of parties? Have
we learned no wisdom by the history of the last
ten jenrs, in which just this course of sacrificing
the nation to tne exigencies oi purucs piungou us
into rebellion and war?
Even admit that the power would p9s into
tbe hands ot a party made up of Southern men
and the hitherto dishonored and misled Demo
cracy of the North, that power could not be
used lust as thev Dleased. The war has changed
not alouo Institutions, but ideas. The whole
country hat advanced. ' Public sentiment
exalted far beyond vbat it hits been at any
former period. A new Dartv would, like a river
be obliged to suck out its channels in the already
existing slopes and forms of the continent.
We have entered a new era of libeity. s The
Btyle of thought le freer and more noble. The
young men ol our times are regenerated. ' The
great army has beun a school, and hundreds ot
thousands of men are gone home to preach a
truer aud nobler view of human rights. All the
industrial Interests of society are moving with
increasing wisdom towards Intelligence ana H
berty. -Everywhere, In churches, in literature.
In natural sciences, in physical Industries, i
VCittl quctUCDS, as well ws Jit pontics, tjje r
tion feels that the w riter is over and a nc
spring hangs In the horizon and works through
all tbe element". In this happily changed and
advanced condition ol things, no party of the
retrograde can maintain itself. Everything
marches, and parties most march.
I hear, with wonder, and shame, and scorn,
tbe fear of a few that the Soutb, once more in
adjustment with the Federal Government, will
rule this nation ! The North is rich never so
neb; the South is poor never before so poor.
The population ot tbe North is nearly double
that of the South. The industry of the North,
In diversity, in forwardness and productiveness,
in all the machinery and education required for
manufacturing, is naif a century la advance of
the South. Churches in the North crown every
hill, and schools swarm in every neighborhood;
while tbe South has but scattered lights, vt long
distance, like lighthouses twinkling al ng the
edge ol a continent of darkness. In the presence
ol such a contrast, how mean and craven is the
fear that the South will rule tho policy of tho
land t That it will have an Influence, that it
will contribute, in time, most Important influ
ences or restraints, we are glad to believe. But,
if It rises at once to the control of the Govern
ment, it will be because the North, demoralized
by prosperity, and besotted by grovelling in
terests, refuses to discharge Ita share of political
duty. In such case, the South not only will
control the Government, but It ouf ht to do it I
It is feared, with more reason, that the
restoration of the South to her full independ
ence will be detrimental to tbe treedmen. The
sooner we dismiss from our minds the idea that
the Ireedmen can bo classified, and separated
from the white population, and nursed and de
fended by themselves, the better it will be for
them and us. The negro is part and parcel of
Southern society. He cannot be prosperous
while it is unprospered. Its evils will rebound
upon him. Its happiness and reinvlgoration
cannot bo kept from bis participation. The
restoration of the South to amicable relations
with the North, the reorganization of its in
dustry, the rein.piration of Its enterprise
and thrift, will all redound to the freed
men's benefit. Nothing is so dangerous to
tho freed men as an unsettled state of
society in the South. On him comes all the
spite, and anger, and caprice, and revenue. He
will be made the scapegoat of lawless and heart
less men. Unless we turn the Government into
a vast military machine, there cannot be armies
enough to protect the Ireedmen while Southern
society remains insurrectionary. If Southern
society is calmed, settled, and occupied and
soothed with new hopes and prosperous indus
tries, no armies will be needed. Riots will sub
side, lawless hangers-on will be driven off or
better governed, and a way will be gradually
opened up to the frcedman, through duration
and industry, to fall citizenship, with all its
honors and amies.
Civilization is a growth. None can escape
that forty years iu the wilderness who travel
from the Egypt of ignorance to the promised
land of civilization. Tne freedraen must take
their march. 1 have full faith In the results. If
they have the stamina to undergo the hardships
which every uncivilized people has undergone
in their upward progress, they will in due time
take their place among us. That place cannot
be bought nor bequeathed, nor gained by
sleight ot hand. It will come to sobriety, virtue,
industry, and frugality. As the nation cannot
be sound until the South is prosperous, so, on
the other extreme, a healthy condition of civil
society in the South is indispensable to the wel
fare of the Ireedmen !
Refusing to admit loyal Senators and Repre
sentatives from the South to Congress will not
help the ireedmen. It will not secure for them
tbe vote. It wi'l not protect them. It will not
secure any amendment of our Constitution,
however luBt aad wise. It will only increase
tbe dancers and complicate the difficulties.
Whether we regard the whole nation, or any
section of it cr class in it, the first demand of
our time is, entire reunion.
Once united, we can, by schools, churches, a
free press, and increasing free speech, attack
each evil, and secure every good.
Meanwhile, the great chnfcm which Rebellion
made is not filled up. It grows deeper and
stretches wider I Out of it rise dread spectres
and threatening siunds. Let. that gulf be
closed, and bury in it slavery, sectional ani
mosity, and all strifes and hatreds !
It is tit that the brave men who, on sea and
land, faced death to save the nation, should
now, by their voice and vote, consummate what
their swords rendered possible.
For the sake of the Ireedmau, for the sake of
tho South ana its millions ot our fellow-countrymen,
lor our own sake, and for the great cause
ot freedom and civilization, I urare the imme
diate reunion of all the parts which rebellion
and war have shattered. I am truly yours,
Henry Ward Beecber.
THE ADAMS EXPRESS ROBBERY.

EXTENSIVE RANK ROBBERY.
Paying-Teller Fleeced at Faro Over One Hun
dred Ihousind Dollars Embezzled from thj
Nassau Bank Arrest of the Criminal.
A heavy defalcation. Involving the loss of over
1(!0,(j00 by the Nassau Bank, has just been
brought to light through the vigilance of the
detective police. The criminal is Geirc H.
Bricgs. the paying-teller of the Institution.
The impelling motive which led to the oomiiH
sion of the crime was an inordinate love of
gambling.
ine lacts in tne case are substantially as fol
lows: On Wednesday night, the defectives at
tached to Police Headquarters informed In
spector Carpenter that a well-dresspd man was
visiting tbe diifercnt gambling hells on Brood
way, and while much excited by wine, was losing
large sums of money at "faro."
TheV had learned that tho man was an officer
in one of tbe city banks, and the inference wai
naturally drawn that he was not using his sa
lary, but that the bank was unwittingly footing
tne gamester's losses, it was not known whieu
bank the man was attached to, so Inspec
tor Carpenter reported the facts to Super
intendent Kennedy the next morning. The
latter directed that detectives should watch the
movements of the infatuated man tbat night.
On Thursday night, with the regularity which
marks tbe movements of the gambler, the mrwi
was once moie at his old haunts. He wiw
followed from one gambling saloon to
another, and in each one he was fieecod
by the owners of those establishments.
During the evening tho officers learned trnu
the man's name was George H. Brigtrs, ptiylag
tcllei of the Nassau Bank, corner of Beekman
and Nassau streets. The othcere having be
come saustica mat the bank; una been de
frauded. Inspector Carpenter called upon the
President, Hamilton Blydcnburgb, at the Cla
rendon riotei, ana lata tne tacts Deiore nun.
That gentleman was startled at tho disclosure.
but would not believe that Briggs could have
committed any crime, so great was his confi
dence in his honesty. Air. uiyaenburgn was
induced by the Inspector to muke an examina
tion of the books of the pauiie-teller. He was
astonished to find that $100,000 bad been ab
stracted from the surplus funds left in the
hands of the paying teller.
Yesterday afternoon Inspector Carpeuter ar
rested Briegs. He was much surprised, but
when lntormea ot the nature ot tne ctiargo, con
fessed his gu It, and said be hud large sums of
money at different times, nearly all ot which
bnd been lost at plav. Sometimes he had staked
as high as $4000 or $5000 at a time and lost,
Bnees is a married man, about 3j yars ol
use. Heretoiore he has borne an irreprouchaoie
character and moved in good society.
At present be occupies one of the- cells at
police headquarters, where he will remain until
