OF !JERKS COUNTY.
Riot in New Orleans.
An attempted revolution in the inter
est of the negro party, has resulted in ri
ot and loss of life in New Orleans. A
brief history of facts in the case will ena
ble the -reader to see where the blame
In 1864, while Gen. Banks had military
control of the city and a small parlof the
State, a sort of "election" was held un
der military rule, and a Convention form
ed, which prodeeded to frame an anti
slavery Constitution for the State, which
was adopted by those allowed to vote
within the federal lines. This Conven
tion, which was to tclarge degree made up
of camp followers, after voting them
selves each 810 per day, passed bills to
the amount of $200,000 to pay for their
cigars, liquors, carriages, &c., and ad
journed. The Constitution thus framed
has been acquiesced in, and seemed to
fait the Northern radicals. But it did not
allow negroes to vote ; and since that par
ty has decided to adopt negro equality,
attempts have been made to start the
ball at the South. To this end an effort
has been made to re-assemble Banks' dead
convention. Judge Durell, its President,
declared that the body had no legal exist
ence, and that he had no power to call it
together. The present Governor was-ap
pealed to, and finally consented to issue
writs for an election to fill over fifty va
cancies in the original body—which elec
tion was to be held in Sept. But the ri
oters did not want a full Convention—
they wanted immediate action, revolution
and anarchy. So to carry out their plan,
R. K. Rowel, a ftiriner member, but who
had resigned in 1864, called a meeting,
and 26 revolutionists assembled to over
turn the organized government, assume
: legislative power, and establish negro cit
izenship. Their first act, was to collect
and arm several hundred negroes, /Rho

some of them drunk, using incendiary
language, and producing great excite
ment and disturbance. Finally, on the
30th, some of the negro procession threw
ci izeu to the ground, when the police
advanced to arrest the assailants, and
were fired upon by the negroes, and the
riot began, resulting in considerable lose
of life. Martial law was proclaimed, and
the rioters were dispersed by the bayon
et, and order restored before night ; al
though the negroes, about midnight, in

use of military force to assist the civil au

The Democrat
,of this, place represents
that the great l eading Convention was
disturbed and insulted by their oppon
enta.—Montross Republican.
This paper did not say so. The Repub.
lican is unable or unwilling to tell the
truth in connection with the Reading
meeting. Among its other untruths are
those that Democratic roughs cheered for
Jeff Davis, and that Blair's speech was a
threat of civil war if the people did not
elect Clymer. The editor ought to know
that many of his editorially quoted state
meats about that meeting are malignant
falsehoods.
/Sr For months past the radicals have
been indulging in threats that if the bal
lot was not given to the negro, there
would be another war. On the eve of
the late riot in New Orleans, a meeting
of negroes and their mischievous abettors
was held and a resolution adopted declar
ing that there should be no permanent
peace until negro equality was established
in the State. So what was thought might
only be an idle threat of political brawl
ers, seems to have been determined upon.
But there will be no war. There may be
some fut ther attempts to force negro
equality upon the country, but they will
fail as they did at New Orleans ; and al
though some white men may be slain in
attempting to maintain order, the laws
will triumph and white men rule the land.
Vir There is no doubt of the fact that
the late riot and bloodshed at New Or
leans-was brought about by plot t ing of
radical disunion leaders at the North;
and the N. Y. .Tribune and its country
echoes are busy circulating falsehoods
about rebel flags, &a., to cover up the
guilt of their party managers.

The Atlantic Telegraph.
Since Sunday morning last, America
has been in direct telegraphic communi
cation with Europe. Messages have been
sent and answers received, and from pres
ent appearances the Atlantic Cable bas
proved a full and complete success. When
the arrangements at, this end of the line
are completed, the news from Europe will
reach us several hours sooner than it does
at present. Dispatches now have to be
sent from Port an Basque to Aspy Bay,
across the neck of the Gulf of St. Law
rence, in a sailing vessel, which consume%
some hours and lengthens the passage of
news from London to New York or Phil
' adelphia considerably. In a short time
this gap will be tiled up in a proper man
ner, and then the business community will
realize in a proper manner the vast bene
fits resulting from this greatest achieve
ment of the progressive age in which we
live. The statesman can read at his break
fast table in the morning the proceedings
of European cabinets and legislative bod
ies on the preceeding day, the merchant
can order goods one day and file a reply
the following, and bankers keep posted as
to the , financial condition of the Old
World to within a few hours of the time
of making transactions in the New. These
are some of the advantages that will fol
low telegraphic communication between
Europe and the United States, and hence
the interest manifested in everything that
relates to the lelegraphic cable across the
6 ocean.—Age, . Aug. Isl.

HAMBURG, Aug. let, 1866.
The Convention of honorably discharg
ed soldiers, officers, and sailors of Penn
sylvania, favorable to . the restoration pol
icy of President Johnson, and the election
of the Hon. heater Clymer for Governor
of the State, assembled in this city to-day.
The roll of delegates comprises full dele
gations from every county except one
throughout the entire State. In accord
ance with a rule adopted at the prelimin
ary meeting, held in this city on the 28th
of June last, the basis of representation
was fixed at seven delegates for each leg
islative district, thus making an aggregate
of seven hundred delegates for the State
at large. The universal interest felt in
the movement throughout the State, has
resulted in the selection of a body of men
than whom, during the late war, none
have been more conspicuous for their de
votion to principles under the most trying
circumstances.
It, is estimated that not less than from
four to five thousand people are in atten
dance upon the Convention, nearly one
thousand of whom are soldier delegates;
for some of the counties are represented
by more than the required number, thus
swelling the whole number of delegates to
a still greater size.
The Convention met in the hall of the
House of Represent at ivee. At ten o'clock
the Berks County delegation, headed by
Beck's Band, of Philadelphia, entered the
hall, and were recel% ed wit h ' great ap I I
-
plause. After event: popular, airs by the
baud, the Convention was calk-d to (Idler
by Gen. W . W. H. Davis, of Bucks, Chair
man of the Committee of Arrangements.
He stated that owing to the immense size
of the Convention, it would be utterly im
possible to do busines sin the place iu a hich
it had assembled, or in any other single
room or house in Harrisburg As soon
therefore as a temporary organization had
been effected, and a committee on perma
nent officers appointed, the body would
adjourn to meet, at 2 o'clock on the Capi
tol grounds, or some other appropriate
place. In ie course of his remarks, the
speaker very appropriately suggested that
seats should be provided for the wounded
soldiers who were iu attendance, a nunt-'
ber of whom were scattered through the
audience. His suggestion was immedi
ately acted on, and the maimed heroes
who were unable to promote their own
comfort were provided, with suitable ac
comodations.
In conclusion, Gen. Davis suggested
the name of General Jacob B. Swenzer, of
Pittsburgh, for temporary President of the
Convention. The nomination was unani
mously endorsed.
General Sweitzer took the chair, and
made an eloquent and appropriate speech,
which was greeted with long continued
rounds of applause.
Several Secretaries were chosen, and
the delegates presented their credentials
upon a eall of the counties. On motion,
all regularly appointed soldier delegates—
including those in addition to the number
allowed—were invited to seats in the
Convention.
A committee of thirteen was chosen on
permanent organization. After a recess,
the committee reported the name of Gen.
McCandless for President of the Conven
tion, and 34 Vice Presidents and 13 Sec
retaries. After an able speech from the
General, which was continuously cheered,
a committee of 34 was chosen to report
resolutions.
On motion, the Chair was authorized to
appoint a committee to wait upon the
Hon. Hiester Ciymer, if in the city, and
invite him to address the Convention.—
The Chair appointed General S% eiizer,
Colonel Charles Glantz, General Swartz,
Captain Henry A. Scheets, Lieutenant G.
IL Clark, and General John F. Baffler.-
On motion, it was ordered that the Con
vention adjourti tir meet again at half-past
two o'clock, r. sr., in the Capitol grounds.
The Convention. reassembled in the
Hall of the House—the intense heat of the
San preventing . a Meeting in the open air.
The Convention indicated its readiness
to, proceed with 'business, but the com
mittee, on Resolutions not. being yet ready
to report, the intervening tinie was occu
pied in listening to speeches from dele
gates and others.
Colonel W. W. It. Davis, from the
Committee on Resolutions, then submitted
the following:
RESOLUTIONS
the government at, her time of greaten need and
Bucked, That we repudiate the action of the Veal
Congress, which is an insult to every officer, soldier, and
seaman who served in the Federal army during the re
bellion Their policy userta that our victories accom
plished what the enemy could not, divided the Union,
and the fruits of our toil and blood-bought 'Victories
turned to ashes in their hands.
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the restoration
policy of President Johnson, ae announced in his annu
al, special and veto messages, and as further made
known to the country in his treatment of the States late
ly in rebellion. We believe it to be just and humane,
and better adapted than any other known .policy to re
store those States to their constitutional relations to the
Union, and bring renewed peace, happiness and pros
perity to the country. It is in keeping with the gene
: recut treatment which a tuagnanimona victor awards to
It brave foe.
. Besotted, 'That the action °Mongress in refusing seats
to the Senators and members from the South; who bear
_tote allegianecto.theconstituticm and laws. while that
body is engaged in changing the fundamental law of the
country in an Important particular, is revolutionary in
its action ; while their conduct in taxing the South with
; out her consent tattles at the vital principle of coned
tutieinal liberty—that there can be no taxation without
representation.
Resolved That we are opposed to negro suffrage, and
all legislation that has for its object the raising of the
negro to social and political equality with the white
Man, or to make him the pet of the nation, meets our
' unetialifled disapproval. Ile and his friends should be
est seed that the war has given his race the boon of
freedom and•skould- not aim to control the destinies of
the country.
' Resolved, That we return thanks to God for giving
victory to the Federal- armies over armed insurgents,
and wo congratulate the country upon a return of peace.
It is as much our duty now to use our best endeavors to
heal up the wounds of the.rebellion. as 11 was to take up
• arms in defense of the Union.
Roared, That we deny that John W. Geary is the
soldiers' candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. Ile
Is the choice of the Radicals, who are seeking to destroy
the Union we periled our-lives to preserve. The men
who placed him in nomination and who are now his
most active supporters, repudiate the object of the war
by declaring the South out of the Union. and by accept
ing their nomination, he assumes their principles, which
violate everything he contended for in the field.
Resolved; That we endorse the nomination of the Hen.
Ellester tlymer, the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania, because he is a man of integrity and a
statesman of experience, and approves the principles
we advocate. We cull upon our late companions in
arms in this State to rally to his support. for his election
will be an endorsement of the cause for which we fought
and bled, while his defeat will be a defeat of the cause
of the Caton.
Besotted, That the Radicals in Congress, professing
to speak for the Majority of the people, have recently
test.tled their preference for the negro by appropriating
money to support ;him In idleness, by the payment to
him of a bounty of Vat% and the repudiation of the white
soldier and his claims by the passage of a bounty bill al
lowing but $lOO to him, without even a provision ap
propriating money for the payment of the same, thus
disregarding his faithfaland patriotic services, demon
strates to the country their belief in the assertion that
the negro bears the palm.
Rewired. That , we, the soldiers of Pennsylvania, in
Convention assembled. do return our sincere thanks to
the Rims. Igdgnr Cowan and Charles R. Buckalew, our
representatives in the Senate of the United States, for
their noble conduct in sustaining the President's policy
of rausteo
The reading of the resolutions was fre
quently interrupted by the hearty and
prolonged applause of the Convention,
and were unanimously adopted.
The Convention, atier the transaction of
some business of minor -importance, ad
j.turned in a body to the quarters of Mr.
Clymer, at. the Bolton llouse, where they
were addressed by that gentleman and
others, and then adjourned sine die.
For the Montrose Democrat.
Whom Shall I Support ?
In the coming election it becomes the
question to each considerate, Union-lov
ing man, whom shall I support? By my
vote I am to help decide an important.
question, the result of which will tell heav•
ily on the future, and which will mark a
new era in our advance and prosperity,or
a commencement of our humiliation and
decline.
We see before us two candidates, both
aspiring to the highest honor in the gift of
the State,and each striving to succeed. Ono
has been to some extent concerned in the
military affairs of the country, and who
will claim some support for so doing—
whether worthily or not, it remains for
you, my fellow-citizens, to decide. The
other claims your support in part on be
half of his unwavering support of the ad
ministration, which is now striving, de
spite the rabid opposition of the radical
leaders, to restore our country to its for
mer proud and happy position as a united
people. The effects of the influence of the
radical party is seen in the late riot at
New Orleans, where a portion of a de
funct convention assumes power to come
ingather for the performance of Constitu
tional measures. We see it in their at;
tempts to place the late untutored, igno
rant freedmen on a level with the whites,
and to confer upon them the choicest
boon of an American freeman—the right
to vote. We, see it in their passage of
bills whereby large sums of money are
appropriated to support the negro in idle
ness. We see it in their persistent efforts
to keep out of the councils of the nation
those who have an inherent right to be
there, in order to retain unlimited control
of the affairs of the government. And we
Fee them today denouncing the man who
a few weeks ago they were loud in prais
ing. And all because he will not bow
submissive to the dictates of their vicious
will.
Al of the above evils we see the radical
party attempting to force upon us; and
we know that the candidate they support
endorses them in their actions. On the'
other band we see a party endeavoring
to sustain the hands of the administra
tion, to help build up the walls that are
broken down, and re-unite all sections in
a bond of Union.
Will you support a man who approves
any' ofthe above-named evils, because he
may have some military prowt:ss? As a
leader we admired whatever be did which
was worthy and heroic ; and we could
support him were it fur nothing more
than military governor .of a defenceless
town.. But we cannot vote for him when
- he repudiates the actions of the adminis
tration we are all called upon to support;
and we urge all good, loyal, conservative
men to come out, repudiate radicalism,
and support Johnson, Clymer, and the
Union. FREE THINKER.

REV. HUGE EONARAN.
Seldom does an individual pass Aniay
so universally regretted as the subject of
this brief eulogium. Rev. H. Monahan,
the respected :Vice President of old St.
Josephs College, formerly in Choconut,
is no more. Disease, like some fell shad
ow, beckoned him to the grave, but the
voice of God welcomed bim to Heaven.
Father Monahan was a priestin the
genuine acceptation of the word. His
talents were ofthe highest order. In him
were united a sound understanding, a rich
and vigorous imagination, and a logical
precision of thought. His learning was
extensive, critical_ and profound. Child
like in simplicity, and unostentatious in
his varied attainments, all his produc
tions were deeply east, symmetrically
formed, and beautifully developed. His
divinity was not merely speculative nor
merely practiced ; it was the blended in
fluence of thought, feeling and action. He
had studied divinity as a scholar, taught
it as a professor, felt it as a worshipper,
and diffused it as a faithful pastor. His
genius and his virtues were understood ;
for the wise bowed to his superior knowl
edge, and the humble caught the spirit of
his devotions. His love and solicitude for
those entrusted to his care flowed in the
purest current, and his piety caught a
glow from the intensity of his feelings.—
Rigid and scrupulous to himself, he was
charitable and indulgent to others.
-To youth, particularly, be was indul
gent and fatherly. With him the tears of
penitence washed away the stains of er
ror ; for be had gone up to the fountains
of human nature, and knew all its weak
nesses. Many relieved from vice and tel
ly can bear witness how deeply he was
versed in the science of parental govern
ment, t hat science so little understood,aed
for want of which so many evils arise. his
one of the characteristics of a great mind
not to be soured by misfortunes, nor nar
rowed by any particular pursuit.
Father Monahan, if possible, grew mild
er and more indulgent as he approached
the grave. The paroxysms of sickness
bad broken the heart of the man, but out
of its wounds gushed the tide of sympa
thy and universal Christian charity. The
miseries of life crush the feeble, make
more languid the dull, and more vindic
tive the proud ; but the great mind and
contrite soul are expanded with purer be
nevolence and warmed with brighter
hopes by suffering, knowing that by
means of tribulation and anguish the dia
dem of the saints is won.
To him whose heart has sickened at the
selfishness of mankin.l, and has peel] the
low and trifling pursuits of the greater
proportion of human beings, it is sweet
and refreshing to contemplate the philos
'
opher delighted with the ‘i - -ions of other
worlds, end ravished with the harmonic),
of bustlEaround him ; but how much no
bler is the course of the moral and Chris
tian philosopher, who teaches the ways
of God to man. He holds a holy com
amnion with Heaven, wale with the Cre
ator in the garden at every hour of the
day, without wishing to hide himself.—
While he muses, the spirit burns within
him, and the high influences of inspiration
force him to' proclaim to the children of
men the deep wonders I f d I eve.
But this cc nteniplation mu-t give an
gels pleasure when they behold this pure
and elevated being di d;cating his services
not to the mighty, not to the wise, nor to
the powerful, but to the humb!est crea
tures of sorrow and suffering. Have we
not seen our friend leaving these sublime
contemplations and entering the habita
tions of want and woe, relieving their
temporal necessities, and administering
the consolations of reigion to the des
pairing soul in the agonies of dissolution?
Yes, the sons of this chilling climate, the
tenants of the hovel, the erring and the
profligate, can bear witness with what pr.
tience, earnestness , constancy and mild
ness he labored to make them better, and
to walk in paths of perfection.
His piety had recommended him to the
notice of a most eminent dignitary, who,
in recognition of his worth, placed him in
a position of trust and responsibility—
Vice President of St. Joseph's College.—
To that office Fah r Monahan seemed
providentially adapted. An accomplished
gentleman, ho won the confidence of his
superiors, and the respect of every one
with whom he came in contact. But he
has passed away. I never can forget his
paternal voice, with its silvery accent,
which fell like music on our souls; he
who freed us from sin's foul bondage, or
the hand so often extended over us in
benediction. No tears will be shed for
thee, Father Monahan. We do not wish
to call thee back ; but by imitating thy
illustrious example, we may meet thee in
Heaven. The writer of this sketch beers
the following intimation as a faint and
rude memorial of the virtues of the man
whose character he venerated. Time
must assuage the wounds of grief before
those who loved him most and knew him
best can attempt his epitaph.
When on a visit at St. Joseph?, I can
assure you it caused me much pam when
I gazed on the rough grave of that once
beloved, esteemed, and revered man,wbo,
