UNE ALEXANDER CASE.
No intimation of a reprieVe for Alexander
has yet been given, and there seems to be but
little hope that the strong reasons which have
been urged in his behalf wili prevail to arrest
the execution ; gl the sentence, or death, which
is fixed for tB-morrow. We -have nothing
further to urge, in behalf of this unfortunate
convict, except to call public attention to one
fact which should not.pass unnoticed. We
desire to aek,with all respect for the Governor
and Attorney-Generel of the State: Where
does Mr. Newlin, a clerk in the Law Depart
ment:derive his title and office :of "Deputy
Attorney. General?" We are informed by high
official authority that no such office exists
in the State. The appropriation bill con
tains an item of salary for a clerk in the At-
----- torney-General's office, and this clerk is un
stood to be a young gentleman named
$ Ja es W. Newlin. It is well known that
th Attorney - General, himself', is most exact
an punctilious in all his discharge of his of
-1
ficia 'Antics, and it is therefore fair to sup
pose that his clerk has assumed, in his ab
sence, a high responsibility, without authority
of law. The acts of Assembly of 1b22 and
IS47speak_of the Attorney-General "and his
deputies," but they clearly indicate that these
deputies are the district attorneys of the seve
ral counties.
There is abundant ,cause in the circum
stances of the original case for the exercise,
to say the very least, of a sufficient doubt to
warrant a reprieve; but if the decision to
hang Alexander rests upon the opinion of a
clerk who has assumed the title of "Deputy
Attorney-General" for the purpose, the case
becomes one which must meet with universal
comilpmnation in this community.
Inas been our pleasure, as well as our
drily, to sustain the acts of the Executive and
4w, Departments of the present "State Gov
ernment with a cordial support, and we ex
pect to continue to do so; but in the present
case we are convinced that, in carrying out a
stern principle of justice, an extreme view
has been taken which has silenced, for the
time, the loud pleas of humanity and mercy.
P. S. As we go to press we are able to
announce that Alexander has been respitei
until the Bth of September. The announce
ment will be received throughout this corn
triunity with unmixed satisfaction. In com
mon with other citizens, we hasten t 9 tender
our thanks to Governor Geary for his action
in this critical matter.
PUBLICANS AND VICTIMS
Watering-place exactions and over-charges
are by no meaue.a, new theme; but at the
present season of the year, when sufferers
are.retuming to their homes with depleted
pockets the subject appeals with especial
force to the feelings of every victim, and sug
gests free. trains of thought. Landlords at
these pl.ces of Summer resort are too prone to
consider their guests as so many mere sponges
thathave ,providentially been thrown into
their way...for the purpose of being squeezed.
What is lettafter the bill for board and extras
has been paid, is scrambled for by hungry
servants, and the hapless victim turns his face
homeward with collapsed pocket-book and
bleeikng at every financial pore. As for the
servants, they have no bowels of compassion
fortheir victim% and the unsophisticated
cent whb takes hie seat at the hotel table ex
pecting to get Lis dinner just as he ex-
penis to pay his bill, honestly and
fairly, Awakes from his delusion when
Jae finds himself doomed to short commons
and scanty attention, while his neighbors are
.Alining upon the.choice bitsof the feast and
%risking in the sunshine of the waiter's favor .
Itservants were content to receive a reaeon
attic compensation for what has already been
paid for, the _case would not be BO bad, but
the .ociambermaid expecis to be paid for each
pitcher of iee•water thet is furnished to the
room, ns though ,ils dispenser were a high
-priscatireitild theilr.id itself was precious
nectar; the porter who receives no more
for csrviog your trunks down stairs than you
Pay the =press company for sending them to
your home a hundred miles distant, scowls
darkly up you and feels himself swindled;
the boot-black forgets that patent-leather has
been your only wear,and looks for a fee all
the same; the sounder of the gong .expects to
be "rememtered" for having broken your
morning s'umbert; and when the time for de
parture arrives, a dozen Servitors whom you
have never before seen, to your knowledge,
linger about in the hope of substantial recog
xition. After such an experience? the "parting
zuest" speeds himself off with a feeling of
Leneral depletion,and he almost_ makes a vow
never more to set foot away from where
things have fixed values, where be will get
what he pays for and where single payments
will suffice for single services.
There - are three distinct parties who are
clearly responsible for this condition of things.
These parties are the landlord, the servants
and the guest himself. Too many proprie

, they not unfrequently directly' encourage
Ilene by paying; their employes • insufficient
wages with the understanding that ts e • ter
ence will be made up by extorted feeti. As
to the - servants theraselveictlitifitte as rapa
cious as sea-side mosquitoes or the unwinged
disturbers of eleeis that are found in some ho
tels. They have no conscience in their trade
and, like little Oliver,they constantly demand
more..
A thiests are themselves principally respon
sible for these - abuses. The gentleman who
obtains a good dinner by quietly feeine the
Waiter congratulates himself upon his man
agement and complacently strokes his well
lined stomach. But it would be well worth
while for him to inquire whether he has done
exact and even justice to his fellow guests
who must suffer measurably for the favoritism
that he has purchased. It is narrated of a
gluttonous epicure of ancient times, Pinto
xenus by name, that he used to gargle his
mouth and throat with scalding water so as
to accustom himself to eating highly calorified
food without winking. He would then bribe
the servants to serve the dinner piping hot
and he would gobble up all the dainty bi s
before his Allow -guests could get a morse
sufficiently cool to eat it. Philoxenus woul
now-a-day sbe voted a pig, and serve him
right, too; but -it is a question whether his
tactics were any more discreditable than are
those of the lover of good •living who bribes
the Waiter to furnish him with the tenderloin
while his neighbor gets the tough and gristly
ends, who secures the breast and side bone,
while, the drum-sticks go to the modest
party across the table; or who has his plate
surrounded with an abatis of choice ears of
corn -while nothing more attractive than
"nubbins" canbe procured by the rest of the
table. This experience soon teaches the mo
dest guest a lesson, and then the tenderloins
and choice maize go to the highest bidder,
while the white-jacketed autocrat of the
dining-room-finds his profit in the lively com
petition. In ordinary commercial transac
tions Such,•ksystem would not be tolerated
for a moment. The merchant who would
permit We purchaser of a bale of goods to be
"bled" by each subordinate, from the chief
clerk to the porter, would soon be left with
out customers.
As with most other abuses and grievances,
it is easier to point out the evil than it is to
provide a remedy for it. Amerioans have
a world-wide reputation fur lavish
expeLdhurt; but the truth is, they merely
submit quietly to impcisitious so as to avoid
the trouble of resisting them. They do not
take to the "bleeding" process any more
cheerfully than eels take to skinning, and
they yield the p -int because they cannot well
help themselves. What is known as the
"European plan" seems to be the best calcu
lated to correct some of these abuses. Let
each guest pay a fixed price for_ every thing
he gets, and for no more than he
gets, and then let the enterprising Phil
oxenus bribe and gobble, and let him also pay
squarely and honestly for his tenderloins and
choice cuts. If choice cuts are scarce, let
the consumer of poor fare be charged at a
corresponding rate, and justice will be satis
fied. This system might be elaborated so as
to reach most of the evils of watering
place hotel practices. We are persuaded that
the landlord who will inscribe upon the ban
ners upon his outward walls the words "Fair
Prices I No Unreasonable Extras! NJ
Exacting of Fees! No Extortions!
No Promiscuous Bleeding of Guests!
No Charge without a Full and Fair quid pro
(pieil Exact and Even Justice for all!"
would drive from the field all competitors,
and travelers and sojourners at springs, falls,
sea or mountain-side would call him blessed.
TRUE CObSERVATISII.
Among the many tricks of the Democracy
to catch votes is the adoption of the claim
of- -Conservatism. In parts of the country
where there is any reason to believe that the
people can be deceived in that way, the name
of Democrat" is put in the back-ground,
and that of "Conservative" is thrust promi
n rally forward. To heighten the effect of
the trick, a furious howl is kept up about
the terrible things done and to be done by
those bloodthirsty, lawless, insane and
wicked creatures, the "Radicals." This is
supposed to increase the conservatism of
the Democracy and to attract to the support
of Seymour and Blair all that intermediate,
touting element which is not known as being
decidedly committed to either political party.
Tricks of this sort are not new, and some
times, when the dividing lines are not very
deafly di awn, or the distinctions between
opposing candidates very clearly defined, they
have a certain amount of effect. But in the
present Presidential campaign, the Demo
cratic claim to be the Conservative party of the
country is so flatly contradicted by its past
record and its present principles, and those
of its candidates, that precisely the opposite
•result is being worked out from that which
the Democracy desires.
The "Conservative" element of the coun
try, SS it is technically called, consists
almost wholly of a wing of the Republican
patty which has moved up toward
the advanced position rendered necessary by
the logic of events,more slowly than the main
body,and which has been-temporarily left "in
the open" between the two opposing camps.
It contains many quiet, elderly, substantial,
good men, who are so constituted that they
cannot think on the march. They must stand
still to take a satisfactory view of the situa
tion, and their temporary halt is mistaken by
the enemy for a desertion, and the questions
which they raise are construed into articles of
capitulation. But the first bleat of the
bugle startles them from their hesita
tion, and in every direction they are
found hurrying to the front, and taking bold
ground on the side of a true Republicanism
against a sham Democracy.
From every part of the country the evi
dences are pouring in to show that the real
"conservative" element has not separated
itself from the Republican party. _ The mo
ment that the issue is made up; the moment
that men are called upon AO_ choose_
between leymour and Blair, Repudiation and
War, on the one aide, and Grant and Colfax,
Honesty and Peace, on the other, it is seen
that the quiet, thinking men who may have
halted for a time between two opinions are
Lo longer a: - a lose to decide. The ',me is
THE 'DAILY s . EI - 11NING:13UlliETIN4THILADATISIA; MONDAY,' AUGUST 24,186 i.:
too plain; the pretetems'of the Democracy
too shallow;, the dangers of giving them
. . 4--sior t tag r -the--ster..-
ling worth of Grant and Colfax too patent;
the dety-of the patriot too blear-and -impera
tive, to permit a doubt; and so the true Con
se rvative,` even if he does not accept every
minor doctrine of the Republican creed,
ranges himself on the side of loyalty. peace
and national honor as a solemn duty which
he dares not ignore or avoid.
Among the many recent testimonies to the
true Conservatism of the Republican party,
few are better expressed than by the Hon.
John S. Carlisle, ex-Senator from West Vir
ginia, in a letter recently addressed to the
Baltimore Amer ican.
Mr. Carlisle's position, for two or three
years past, has been such as In haferliist de
scribed. He now defines his position in a
powerful argument, and points . out the re
spective positions of ,the,Democratic and Re
publican parties in their relations to Conser
vatism in the following pointed language:
"I had hoped and expected that the action of
the New York Convention would have entitled
its nominees to the support of conservative
Union men. Had its members pledged them
istiveE: to the maintenance of the right of local
self-government in the States, as secured by the
Constitution, and nominated as their Presidential
candidate a man of .undoubted Unionism, who
believed in the right of the government to pro
tect itself and 'enforce He lawful authority, I
should have voted for its nominees. 'This was
not done. On the contrary, AV is my opinion
that Hendricks was defeated because he is not
a believer in the right of Recession. The war
record of Hancock defeated',him. Mr. Vallan
digbam's patriotism nominated Seymour and
eroshed the aspirations Of the Chley , Jus
tice. The friends of "the Lost Cause", triumphed
over the Unionism of the Convention , and the strife
of the battle-field is to be renewed,' to be fought
out at the ballot-box. As ranches I am opposed
to the Radical legislation of, the last six years, I
am moresrpposed to Disunion. :! So long as we are
one people vicious legislation may be corrected,
even constitutional amendments may be abolish
ed, and constitutional liberty be. preserved : but
once divided into separate States, under different
governments, liberty and prosperity', peace and
g - ooei — giWerriments are loss forever. 434snt will
receive no support from Secessionists, br their
sympathizers; they are all to he found in the
ranks of the party supporting Mr. :Seymour.
The eonserryt Ism of Republicanism nominated
Grant. The radicalism of Democracy nominated
Seymour.
Mr. Carlisle only expresses the sentiments
of thousands of "Conservatives" who have
been claimed for Seymour and Blair, but who
will be found working and voting for Grant,
Colfax and Peace.

WAsumorosr, Aug. 24.—The business of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, so far as the ap
pointment of the supervisors provided for by
the new law is concerned,has come to a deadlock,
as Secretary McCulloch on Saturday absolutely
declined to appoint any of the persons recom
mended by Mr. Rollins, unless ho could dictate
the names of an equal number. This Is in our
mance of a determination on the part of the
President and those members of the Cabinet who
side with him to give more active support to
Seymour and Blair. There are indications that
the influence of the Post-office Department will
be exerted in the same direction, and
it is understood that Mr. Randall, who has made
an arrangement satisfactory to himself with the
democratic leaders, is to give his personal coun
sel in regard to the organization of the party
and the conduct of the campaign in the North
west.

lured—Affidavit of theEnglishOilicer
that Took Hutt to lialitax.
fFrom the Cleveland (OhIo) Herald.)
Soon after Vallandigham's return from exile,
in a public speech, he referred to the manner in
which he ran the blockade,but declined narrating
the exact facts. _Those facts are contained-in-an
affidavit made by the Captain of the English
blockade-runner in which Vallandigham took
passage, and which affidavit, recently received by
the authorities in Washington, reveals the fact
that Vallandigham came North at the head of a
party of rebel emissaries, charged with the mis
sion of fomenting riots and Insurrections in the
North. The draft riots- of Juiv,lB63, frillowed
immediately on the arrival of those emissaries.
The full affidavit is as follows:
TILE AFFIDAVIT.
New-Cross,
of No. 52 Shaideloes-road
New-Cross, in the county of Kent,latifii - CCiptim
in Her Majesty's merchant service, do solemnly
and sincerely declare that I ,commanded the
steamer Harriet Fluckney, a blockade-Tanning
vessel belonging to the late so-called Confederate
States of America, and used for the express pur
pose of carrying heavy and valuable cargoes from
London and Liverpool to Bermuda and Nassau,
N...P.; that about the udddle, of• June, 1863, I no-.
rived at St. Georges,Bermucbs,from London,with
a full cargo of munitions'of war for the said Con
federate Government,,__,
— 2ibont * tit) days after my arrival in said port,
I was hurriedly despatched by Major Norman &-
Walker. the Oonfederate_ agent_there, on to_
Halifax to convey a certain , number, . : of Con
federates, th en at Bermuda , some twenty - eight
or thirty In all, most of thetn officers of various
ranks, among whom I remember the2undermen
tioned : C. L. Vallandigham, Col. Thobnrn. Col.
Prinzle, Col. Black, Col. Sweeney, Capt. Hurts
lein, Capt. Stylee. The Eagles of others I am at
present unable to state, as there was no list of
passengers made or allowed to be made. Before
setting out I bad several conversations with
Major Walker, relative to this expedition. He
stated definitely . and -positively that it was a
secret mission organized at Richmond, which
Vallandigham was the head of; that they wore to
have mob meetings in the cities of Boston and
New York to create a diversion in favor of Gen.
Leo, and the Southern army then abort to invade
the North. I was expressly directed by Major
Walker ,to proceed without a moment's delay,
as Mr. Vallandigham and others were bound
to be in Boston and New York before the 4th of
July, the day on which the mob meetings were
to take place in those cities. So hurriedly was
I despatched that I was obliged to take on with
me to Halifax two-thirds of my cargo, consist
ing of rifles, powder, saltpetre, and various mu
nitions of war, which I had not time to ills
charge. In reply to my suggestion that I" had on
board a very Valuable cargo to'he risked in such
an enterprise, , Msjer-Walker said he did not care
for the vessel or cargot , that I had the best and
fastest steamer, and must risk everything to' get
these men there in time. The manner of doing
It he left entirely to my discretion. I advertised
an excursion ofnatil and military officers, offer
ing a free passage to Halifax and return. Some
fOrty or fifty English military and naval officers
'and men availed themselves of the offer. The
object in having them on board was the protec
tion of the ship and cargo, and especially the
Southern passengers.' During the passage,
the of jtets of the expedition were con
stantly and freely canvassed, and plans laid
for carrying out the same, Their purpose was
to incite mobs in cities, to raise a reVolution in
the North, if possible, and thereby,create a di
version in favor of Gen. Lee and the Southern
Vallandigham was the acknowledged head, or
chief, and all the arrangements - were made under
his immediatetupervlaion. 'Re arranged every
thing and ordered everything„ and was clearly
the moving lever In the whole affair, having
come direct from Richmond by W l ay_ of .
- naington -- , fur the elprEgkrtilifp -- sWiif :conducting
it. .1 had also several private chats with' him in
regard to the exnedition. He said it was and of
vital importance to the Confederacy, and was
undertaken under the sanction and by the au
thority of the Richmond Government; that he
himself was at tbe head of IL I recollect par
ticularly a conversation had with him sitting to
gether on the bridge on the morning of the 28th
of June, two days before we reached Halifax.
He spoke Of the -danger. , attending the enter
prise, but said that once in Boston he should be
safe, for he would then he among friends.
men that he knew. He then showed me his
letter of au , b , ,ritv under which he was
acting, ard which - gave him the supervi
sion c f tie IA Cole affair. It was addressed to
C. L. Vallandidharn, and signed br Mr. NI illory.
About two hundred miles off Halifax I was in
tercepted by the L - Lited states frigate Al-xon. I
immediately arrangcei with, Clot Lackey, the
head of the English naval and military officers on
board, to give orders to all his officers and men
to appiar on dccit in uniform. By this means
and others which I was compelled to adopt, the
Captain of said frigate took me to be an English
transport' ship, belonging to her Majesty's ser
e ice, and allowed me to pass unhoarded, by rea
son of which ship, cargo and passengers were
saved from seizure. Immediately afterward I
got into the usual fog banks which prevail off
that coast in the summer months, altered my
course. and, after proceeding three or four miles
in the opposite direction, shaped my- course for
Halifax, at which port I arrived on the follow
ing morning. Previous -to the frigate's
approachirg us, Vallandigham suggested to me
the propriety of having all the Confederate of
ficers stowed away under the cabin floor, In what
was called the hill-deck, and they were there
concealed accordingly. He also requested me to
take charge of all letters and documents in their
possession, and spoke particularly of their in
structions from the Richmond Government, and
said whatever became of me and the ship these
letters must be destroyed, as they would reveal
the whole secret of the expedition. I took all
letters and documents In their possession, put
them in a largo hag, handed than down to the
Chief Engineer in the engine-room, and gave or
ders that, in the event of being boarded by the
cruiser, on a private signal from me, he was to put
them in the hunac9 ana burn them. After evad
ing the frigate by the ruse as above stated'
and liberating the passengers, Vallandigham
inelied from his place of concealment, embraced
and kissed me upon the quarter-deck in presence
of the passengers, exclaiming : "Yon have saved
me. The story of to-day's proceedings will be
banded down in the pages of history to the latest
posterity." He then went on to ear that this in
cident, the saving of himself and the other pas
sengers from capture, would probably turn the
whole tide of the war and prove the salvation of
the South. I arrived at Halifax on the morning
of the 30th of June, and landed my passengers.
We all dined together at the Halifax Hotel, at
o'clock, and at 7 o'clock Vallandigham and the
others started for Boston and New York. In
making his farewell. Vallandigham repeated that
his mission to New York was of vital Importance,
and that I should hear from him there, if not di
rectly, at least indirectly, alluding to the riots to
be there incited. Ho also promised to telegraph
either Capt. Styles or myself, and a day or two
afterward, at the Halifax Hotel, Capt. Styles
showed me a despatch be had received from Val
landigham. It was dated at Boston, and simply
announced his arrival in that city.
And I reakethissolemndeclaration i coniscien
tionsly believing the same to be true, and by vir
tue of the provisions of an act made and passed
in the sixth year of the reign of his late Majesty,
King William the Fourth, entitled: "An act to
repeal an act of the present session of Parlia
ment, entitled an act for the more effectual abo
lition of oaths and affirmations taken in various
departments of the State, and to substitute de
clamations therefor, and for the more entire sup
pression of voluntary and extra judicial oaths
and affidavits, and to make other provisions for
for the abolition of unnecessary oaths."

_beinvand-the-orders frora‘the dry are.chiefly
to tell from banks and others, in preparation for
the money wants of the country to move the
crops: The demand for ,European account bas
alto ceased. Europe, for the last three years '
has bought oar bonds from March until August,
and from September to December has returned
in each year a considerable amount of Govern
ment bonds. This year the return current
of bonds from Europe has commenced earlier
than ntual; this week 81.000,000 having been or
dered back from Europe to fill contracts at 1133'
on seller 30 flat. This return flow of bonds from
Europe Is Ilk( ly to be greater than heretofore,
owing to the excessive shipments made to Eu
rope upon the advance in gold, estimated at 850,-
1,00,000 since Jane. The return of these bonds
on our market this fall, coupled with these,_
in
creased rates for money Buda cessation of the
domesiic demand are likely to have a depressing
irilinetiCe on all Goverutuont acc'aritieg.
There is no change, to report in the money
market to-day, but rather more was offering at
low rates for the sake of two-daveinterest. Oa
call, loans were made at 3to 5 per cent. Prime
business paper is discounted at 634 to 7 per cent.
The weekly bank statement shows the rapid
progress of . "bank contraction," and the heavy
drain of currency to the interior.
The maximum of New York City bank, loans
was attained on July 11, 8284,147,708. The mini
mum of last year was on Dec. 21, when the loans
had decreased to $244,165,353. Last year the
banks continued to lose legaltenders from July
to November 23, when they held only 851,121,911.
After that date the legal tenders gradually in
creased, the current of currency having turned'
from the interiors to the money .centre, New
York, and so continuing, as usual, until the
summer of this year. Thefollowing table of the
movements of the city banks last year will show
the'reduction in bank loans which it is reasonable
to expect this year:
Legal
Loans. Deposits. Tenders.
November 2, 1687.8247.'537,488 8'78.209724 857.396.667
December 21,1867. 244,16%363 177,6323853 58.3 1,432

January 4,1868 249,748.27 187,070 786 63111,201
The expanded condition of the New York city
banks this year, compared with last, may, per
haps, prevent their reducing voluntarily their
loans to $244,000,000, their minimum amount
last fall, as the withdrawal of. $31,000.000 in
loans this fall could not be effected without dan
ger of a panic and serious collapse on the
New York Stock Exchange, which might
affect our Government, credit and bonds to
an undesirable extent. Events may, how
ever precipitate an involuntary contraction
of loam. on the part of the banks,
which will be more disastrous, because more
likely to be sudden' and tyasmodic. This, in the
present condition of affairs, might eventuate in
disastrcahi results that no one can forsee, or pro
vide against even if they did forsee them, short
of retirement from all business operations, and
from holding all marketable securities. In other
words, it might bring about a condition of affairs
in which greenbacks would be the only safe and
profitable security to hold. The policy of the
New,York banks is, therefore,of more than usual
importance this fall to speculators and the busi
ness community.

flOsecrans and the southern Leaders
—The Political. Conference at White
iptoor Springs-Lee. Itenuregard.
Stephens and Uther liontherners fn
Consultation.
WHITE Suwn: Spnricas, WeSt Virginia, Aug.
23, 1868 —For the past few days the political
world has been intensely excited over the visit of
Genaral Rosecrans here prior to his departure on
the Mexican diplomatic mission. .
Having first visited the hot springs, where Gen.
Robert E. Lee then was, and finding that distin
guished gentleman had left. for this beautiful
resort, where he was cordially welcomed, Rose
craps set out inhot pursuit, and here found not
only Lee, bat the very collection of representative
Southerners he wished to consult with. The
object of "the General is to effect, through
the agency of his former West Point
companions and prominent civilians, a reconcilia
tion of the entire people of the country. He
comes hero with a desire to know the real dispo
sition and true intention of the Southern people
in the coming Presidential campaign. Ho be
lieves that they represent more folly the intelli
gent people of the South than any leaders ever
represented the mass of their peopleS,sind that the
power which for four years sustained the Con
federacy is capable of accomplishinggreat good
for the nation if set beneficially to work. To put
this influence actively at work is the General's
object. He thinks that if it can be done our
political status as the greatest of Republican gov
ernments can be secured, our financial stability
will follow and that our bonds would rise to par
and also our greenbacks.
In accordance with this programme, a private
meeting, at which Generals Lee, Longstreet,
Beauregard, Ewell, Echols, Anderson and Hou
ton, and A. H. Stevens ' A. H. Stuart, John B.
Baldwin, Governors S. Stockthle, of Texas;
Pickens, of South Carolina,
and Walker, of Ala
bama, were present, with General Roseerans,
was held. A long consultation took place, and
a plan of action was agreed upon, but to this
time nothing has transpired of the proposed
movement. It is believed that an address will be
issued to the Southern people by their former
leaders.
—The above despatch is clearly written in the
rebel Interest. F'or a true explanation of the de
t•igns of the rebel leaders we refer the reader to
the Notice Virginian, a rebel paper. (Query:
Does Rosecrtures visit to General Lee, at the
White Sulphur, furnish any solution to the mys
tery ?)
"A movement of a politico-military nature
and of the utmost importance, is on foot. We
are not permitted to say more at this time. If
the movement succeed, and we see no good rea
son why it should not, Grant's imperial aspira
tions will be checked effectually. For the first
time we see a ray of clear light. Particulars may
De looked for from a point west of this at no dis
tant day."
Payment of Ake Rebel Debt.
The Washington National Republican of Sat
urday has the following editorial •
General Hampton in his speeches made the fol
lowing confessions :
As a result he revealed more of the sayings and
doings of the secret councils of the democratic
leaders of the National Convention than was in
tended. Among.other things ho assured his fel
low rebels that he was promised, if he would not
insist upon too much in the platform, that himself
and friends should have everything they wanted
after the democratic party regained their lost
power.
One of the very first things the rebels will ask
will he the assumption of the rebel debt. This is
precluded by the amendment known as the Tour
teenth tirticle. But the Democracy deny that
this amendment has been largely adopted, and
threaten its'nnllification. This threat is the re
sult of the promise to Hampton, and is made as
a guarantee of their good faith.
The financial attitude of the Democratic party,
aeting under the dictation of their rebel allies, is
therefore just this: The practical repudiation (by
their payment in greenbacks) of the bonds issued
by the general government to put down the re
bellion, and the immediate assumption of the
rebel debt incurred in the prosecution of the war
against freedom and the Union.
The National Republican is in the confidence of
our financial magnates and knows whereof it
speaks.

The Rebel Spirit.
The Jacksonville East Floridian makes the fol
lowing mild, gentle and kindly appeal to the
Radicals, and against party passion and viole e:
Since April. 1865, and until within the last 30
days, the Radical party represented by its emis
saries of carpet-baggers, renegades, scallawags
and black allies, have had a protracted and un
checked sway at the South. The time has now
come, however, when the military have been re
lieved from the duty of assisting and listening to
Radical appeals, our tongues are loosed,
and if powerless in .official position, yet
we can exercise the privilege of
free speech and free discussion. " It is notorious
not only to the South, but the parties implicated,
that the Radical managers in this State, whether
carpet-baggers, renegades or scallawags have
been and are corrupt, from Governor Reed down
to the lowest officer they have swindled, lied
and broken each and every one of the ten com
mandments. They have lied, stole, deceived and
been defaulters. They are perjured men, and
even now are concocting devilish schemes to
perpetuate themselves in office and ignore the
people, Now these craven, white-livered,
emasculated cowards are whining about the
streets that the white men of Florida are mak
ing incendiary speeches and threaten them with
banishment and ostracism. Did these obscene
floats suppose that their mushroom growth would
not be'claecked ? Did the runaways from Wis
consin,-Massachusetts, Illinois, suppose that they
could come down here and override, muzzle and
extinguish our people ? Did these army fol
lowers think that such men as Governor Walker,
General Finley, and hosts of others were going to
submit to, be slavered over with the upas like
slime of low-lung adventurers, who had come to
spoil the land ? We can tell these men that the
beginning has only commenced, each day our
people will gather and strengthen and will not
cease In their so-called incendiary speeches until
the last 'loafer" has departed.

IiALIFAX,Aug. 2 . 1.--Parliamentarrpapers - have
been brought before the Rouse, which embrace
brief reports of the delegates. Allthapapera were
prepared in England, and are the legal opinions
of Sir Roundell Palmer and Vernon Harcourt.
,The latter, differs widely frum Mr. Wilkins's
constitutional arguments to the delegates. Re
answeres the six questions in substance as fol
lows
First—There is no limit to the powers of the
Imperial legislation over a colony like Novs
Scotia.
Second—The authority of the Imperial Legisla
ture being absolute, cannot in any legal sense be
dependent on the consent of the colony.
Third—The preamble of the Union act is Im
portant ss pvidencA that _the—Leapeat_Legisial--
ture did not intend to exercise extreme Tiewers,
but acted on the supposed consent of the coloriy.
If the fact of such consent be disproved, that
may afford valid argument for repeal, bateau
not affect the legal validity of the statute.
The fourth question is in the fifth,and the same
answer applies. The resolution of the Nova
Scotia Legislature in 1866 authorized the dele
gates to negotiate a union of all the provinces.
but gave them no right to arrange a scheme leav
ing out Nem fouladiand and Prince Edward's
Island. This.defect would be cured by the sub
sequent ratification of the delegates' acts by the
legislature.
Sixth—The Imperial acts by the Legislature
did not assume to extinguish the Constitution of
Nova Scotia, or impose a new form of govern
ment without consent. To do so would, be an
extreme exercise of power.
