THE CHOLERA.
Further Particulars of its Ravages at
Smyrna and Elsewhere.
We give below the following additional par.
tieulars of the ravages of that terrible de_
stroyer, the cholera: .
[From Saturday's Washington Chronicle.]
.The State Department is in receipt - of ad
viees front the United States Counsel at Smyr
na, under date of August 19, 1865. The report
contains the information that the Asiatic
cholera broke out in the quarantine of that
city, amongst passengers who had arrived
from Alexandria. Several isolated cases oc
curred in the city, a few days later, but it was
not until about five weeks ago that the pro
gress of the disease became alarming. Since
that period its ravages have unfortunately be
come considerable, and the mortality has been
steadily on the increase.
On the first appearance of this fearful epi.,
deltaic, which, in a few days, had caused the
greatest ravages in Alexandria, Cairo and
other parts of Egypt, the wealthy audmiddling
classes, both native and foreign, fled to the
_neighboring islands and surrounding villages.
These latter, situated at a height of several
hundred feet above the town, have hitherto
afforded a safe refuge from the attacks of this
disease. The panic has assumed such propor
tions that business is almost completely sus
pended. The shops are closed, and the streets
deserted. The number of inhabitants who
have left,comprising all the merchants and
the greater part of the traders, is estimated
at about fifty thousand.
The greatest distress prevails among the
laboring classes, and the active sympathy of
the rich has been called into immediate requi.
sition to keep them from starvation. Mea
sures have been adopted looking toward the
relief of the distressed. The Consul gives a
very flattering account of the action of the
American citizens in Smyrna, who have been
contributing their money in behalf of the
poor, and working zealously for the suppres
sion of the disease.
In closing the despatch the Consul says:
"It is expected and hoped that the stringent
sanitary measures which are being adopted
will in a short time succeed in banishing this
dread scourge from our city." -
The United States Consul at Barcelona, un
der date of September 2,1865, informs the State
Department that from August 24th to the llst,
the number of deaths by the cholera in that
city have averaged about twenty-four per
-.SOUS per day. On the day previous to which
the dispatch is dated, the number was forty
two in his division,
The Consul at Port Mahon informs the State
Department, in a despatch dated August Si,
1865, that the quarantine was being rigidly en
forced at that port. A steamer which left with
the Arabs, reports that one hundred and twen
-ty died within fifteen days. Tile authorities
give information with great reluctance. The
cholera has Appeared in Majora in this pro
vince. The Sanidad prefer to attribute the
deaths among the Arabs to their miserable
condition rather than to the cholera. That
the scourge is stilt advancing westward there
IS no doubt.

ABATEMENT OF THE CHOLERA
AN INCIDENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
Special Despatches to The Press.?
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1835
An Incident at the White House.
On Thursday last, an unusual and quite ro!
mantic incident occurred at the White Rouse
among the squad of pardon-seekers there. The
suppliants were waiting around as your cor
respondent D. D, described a few days ago, and
among others were two persons; a closely
veiled young lady and a gentleman somewhat,
bronzed (a rebel soldier once, finite likely),
with a heavy beard and a careful dress. They
had not paid any attention to each other du
ring the 'hour or two they had been so near,
and would not have done so for all _Coming
time bad it not been for the usher. He came
with a document and in a sharp tone called
out the name superscribed on its envelope. It
was a prominent one once in Georgia and
was familiar to most Of the ears upon
which its tones fell. The gentleman, with an
air of pleasure, stepped forward to take it,
- when the lady, with a little scream, pressed
forward and clasped hint tightly in her arms.
He at first seemed surprised by such an un.
wonted proceeding, but when she several
times excitedly • asked "Don't you know
Jessie ?" "Don't you know Jessie 1" "You
Can't have forgotten me in such a short time,"
and removed her veil to show a fresh, piquant,
pretty face. Recognition was instant,and with
the one word "sister," he was quite as de
monstrative as she had been before. " Why,
Jessie, what are you doing here?" he asked;
"I am here for father be is very, very sick,"
she said, with a little elision of the "r," and
a sob. "But he wants to die, if he has to die,
a citizen Of the Union again."
The young man seemed 'affected, but in the
new found joy of meeting a sister long lost, the
cloud that time did not darken his heart. A
few moments after she also received the
grant of her application.
It seems that the young man went out early
in the war as major of a Confederate regi
ment. He was taken prisoner in a skirmish
just after Bull Run ' and spent two years in a
Northern prison. Returning to service, the
cause of the "Confederacy" needed all the men
for support it could obtain and he was forced
to stay in the ranks. Letters lie had sent home
failed to reach, and he, fiesparing of finding
his family after the march of SIVERMAN over
the State, came North to see after a friend.
This good work done he returned to Washing
ton to look after his pardon. All this time
his family gave him up as dead, and, saving
his sister, who met him so strangely, think so
yet.
The Condition of Wirz.
There are many who are beginning to be-
lieve that IVirtz will break down completely
and die before the end of the trial, or before
he can be Justly, punished. He is a man of
nervous and delicate frame, and one wonders
as be looks upon the criminal, how it is that
so much Cruelty could be done up in so fliinsy
a package. His eyes are sunken, his hair
grows wirier and grayer every day, and he
seems to be without any friends but his lair
yers, who are such professionally—nothing
more, and his spiritual advisers. His wife,
who seems to be a cold, hard woman, visits
him, but her visits are even more formal than`
those of his counsel. She does not seem to be
in the . least affected by the terrible rate im
pending over her husband; indeed, it is not
harsh to say that she does not care whether
he is hung or not. Wins feels that he is aban
doned, and abandoned, too, when he wants
friendship the most—when it is food and drink
indeed to him. Haggard, pale, and despair
ing, ho experiences something-of the horrors
he once so coolly inflicted on others.
Destitution and Troubles in Virginia.
As might be expected, there is much desti
tution and poverty in Virginia, especially in
those parts which Were overrun and desolated
by the contending armies. But poor as some
of the people are, they are going to law by
squads and battalions. On Belle Plains espe
cially, Where all the fences and other land.
marks were destroyed, there is enough work,
it is said, for - fifty lawyers. About eighteen
are now monopolizing the business. The
eases seem hard to settle, except by arbitra
tion, for deeds and records of all kinds:have
been destroyed in various ways beyond dupli
cation or recovery. One old lady has become
insane over the matter. Her land, though
small in area, was her all. Living for years
upon 4t she knew its boundaries, as if by in
stinct, but her neighbors on four sides doubt
her and between all their encroachments her
territory was reduced to half its tomer limits.
In her litigation to recover she has sacrificed
her reason and shortened her days.

Presentation of the BraziliaulKidister.
Mr. JoAwn. MANIA NWENTES
was yesterday introduced by the Secre
tary of State to the President, and delivered
his credentials as envoy extraordinary and
minister of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil.
The following is a translation of his address
on the occasion:
Mr. President, I have the honor to place in
your hands two letters from his Majesty the
Emperor of Brazil, communicating to you by
one of them the close of the mission of Senor
Councillor Meguel Maria Lisboa, and by the
other my appointment in the character of his
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo
tentiary near your person. The expressions
of my letter of credence manifest the high
esteem in which my august sovereign holds
your person and the high interests which con
nect the empire with this great nation. Brazil
has neveij had's thought, Mr.• President, but
of ever maintaining unalterable and of ever
drawing more closely the relations of friend
ship and good understanding between the two
countries.
*This is my charge, and with this purpose I
shall not spare any efforts to respond to the
confidence, reposed in me. I shall deem my
self very fortunate, Mr. President, if in the dis
charge of so honorable and important o mis
sion I shall be able to merit also your confi
dence. This task will be so much the less
difficult for me, as I hope by my personal feel
ings towards the United States by my actions
to win the Sympathy ofyour Government as
elsewhere, It is especially recommended to
me to do. '
On this solemn occasion, offering to you the
most ardent wishes in the name of my sove
reign, for the prosperity of the North Ameri
can Union, under your AdMinietration, let it
be allowed me to express to you directly, on
the part of my sovereign;his,deep sorrow at
the unhappy event of the 14th of April, which
placed the whole nation in mourning at a time
when the distinguished success due to the pa
triotism and extraordinary ..perseverance of
your illustrious predecessor should have
caused it only to rejoice.
President Johnson replied as follows
Ma. ASOUItneSA :—The Imperial letter of
credence which you bring bears appreciative
tdAtimony that you have mantained so high a
character and exercised so wide an influence
at home, that I feel entirely at liberty to as
sure you of an agreeable reception, not only
in the diplomatic circle here, but among the
People of the 'United States. I reciprocate
toward Brazil the good feelings you have ex
pressed in regard to our country in the name
of your sovereign. Brazil is already a great
State, and she has elements which enable her
to become a leader among the nations. I re
gret that in times past no •eloser relations
were allowed to exist between Brazil and the
-United States. Holding quite similar posi
tions on the two parts of the American conti
nent, they ought to be, not merely good neigh
bors, but intimately tassoclated togetheri in
political as well as in commercial intercourse.
It is my strong [desire to contribute to that
association. Our policy is one which is sim
ple and easily to be understood—the wish to
promote the progress of civilization in this
hemisphere, and for that purpose the develop
ment of the material resources, the improve
ment of commerce and the introduction as
fast as possible of free intelligent labor into
the virgin fields of this continent. Instead of
weakening the new American States in our
vicinity we wish to impart strength to them
by reposing in them a generous cond.:lamp,
rather than by indulging jealousies of their
property or a querulous disposition in regard
to the manner in which their governments
arc administered. Above all, we wish to in
spire them with the conviction that all the
nations of America, if they would continue to
exist, must aspire to absolute self-sustaining
independence, and to a 'perfect political equa
lity with the other nations of the earth. If
Brazil shall'agree with us in this policy we
shall hereafter be, not only close friends, but
practically we shall be come firm and fast
allies.
The 'Edmunds Court•martial.
The statements lately made in the Eastern
papers relative to the ease of COl. J. COBO/no

=NTS PROM THOSE, WHO COMMITTED IT.
Prrrsanno, Sept. 2.l.—The mystery of the
Iloyd's Bill murder was partially cleared up
to-day by the voluntary confession of Benja
min Bembardt Marshall, a German, who states
that in August last, he and another German,
named August Frecke, met in Kew York a Ger
man emigrant, whose name they did not learn,
a moulder by trade; that the three came to
Pittsburg on an emigrant train, and while on
the road out Marshall and Freeke, believing
the stranger to be possessed of a large amount
of money, conceived the idea of murdering
him, which was accomplished on their arrival
here, by inducing the stranger to visit Borra
Hill, where Marshall lived. The conflict was
short and decisive, Freeke stabbing him three
times, while simultaneously Marshall struck
him several times on the head with an iron bar.
Freeliis has also made a voluntary statement
in which he tries to throw discredit on a part
of Marshall's statement for the purpose of es-
Milpating himself.
The confession has created intense excite
ment throughout this city, and crowds of citi
zens obstructed the streets on the passage of.
the prisoners to the jail.
Another Railroad Accident.
Tam Sept, 23.—A railroad accident occurred
on the Rensellaer Ind Saratoga Company's

passengers on the train at the time. These
were not in the submerged cars and escaped.
The engineer and fireman escaped by Jumping

REQUEST FOR AN ADJOURNMENT BY
WIRZ'S COUNSEL
A LONG SPEECH FROM MR. BAKER
IOORE SPARRING BETWEEN HIM AND THE
JUDGE ADVOCATE.
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL NEXT TUES.
DAY ALLOWED.
WASHINGTON, Sept.. 9.3.—Captain Wirz, imme
diately Alter being brought into court, laid
clown upon the note, shit' keing tee weak to
sit up.
Sergeant Gray, whose testimony toward the
close of the proceedings yesterday caused the
prisoner so much distress, was cross-examined
today. In reply to a question by Mr. Schade,
he said he believed in punishment after death.
When he arrived at Andersonville as a pri
soner, his poeket-boOk and cavalry coat were
taken'from him; his boots had been removed
from his feet at the time of his capture. The
witness gave an affeCting account of the saf
ferings of the prisoners.
Captain J. Id. Wright, of the 55th Georgia,
was recalled, and testified that, in the absence
of the commander of the post, Captain Wirz
had the command, and eountersignedfurlough
papers; the witness superintended the ex
tension of the prison grounds, eleven acres
having been added; Captain Wirz made a re
quisition upon him for axes, which lie had no
difficulty in supplying; fuel could have been
supplied if the prisoners had been allowed to
go out after it under guard.
Cross-examined by Mr. Schade.—Furloughs
were approved by Captain Wirz • when the
latter acted in place of General 'Winder he
could give furloughs -for thirty days, and
- when acting for Colonel Parsons furloughs for
seven days; they never had sufficient trans
portation at, Andersonville.
Lewis Dyer, of the 12th United States Col
ored Troops, testified—That Captain Wirz pro
posed to the colored prisoners that if they
took the oath to the South they could choose
their own masters, and Some of the guards
said that Captain Wirz declared he would
make the white prisoners join the Confed
erates by starving them ; the witness was for
some time, a servant at the house of Dr. White,
ordered thither by - Captain Wirz, and for
which he received. no pay ; Captain Wirz
brought to Dr. White's three thousand lettera,
addressed to Union prisoners ; he handed
them to Captain - Reed's Wife, who was
staying there; she took everything out
of the letters, such as money, needles,
thread, pictures, ac. ; Mrs. Reed laughed at
the contents of the - letters, making fun of
them, and then ordered him to burn them ; he
had seen Confederates wcaringipthe clothing
which had been sent to the prisoners; he
heard the surgeons at Dr. White's say: "I
have poisoned live. Yankees to-day •" and
another would say: "I have poisoned ten ;"
they were laughing and drinking at the time ;
he had also heard the surgeons say they were
going to vaccinate and take Off the arms of
Yankees; they would be laughing about the
Poison; Mrs. Reed took from the letters four
or live hundred dollars, which she kept in a
box nntil the prison was broken up ; he did - not
know What became ofthe money.
Judge Advocate Chipman read an agreement
entered into between the Judge Advocates
and the counsel for the prisoner by which the
hospital records and death register, and such
other records as shall be discovered, may be
received as evidence, except in cases where
objection may be legally interposed.
judge Advocate Chipman said the Govern
ment would informally close the case today,
reserving, however, the right to examine wit
nesses who may be found touching new mat
ter, and he would offer some records in evi
dence connecting the Richmond authorities
with the Andersonville 'prison.
Mr. Baker said lie could not "go it blind," by
consenting to such an arrangement.
Col. Cluan replied that the evidence re
ferred to Davis, Lee anti others of they rebel go
vernment, and the counsel had no right to oh
j ect to testimony which did not personally af
fect their client..
Mr. Baker said tke prisoner was charged with
Conspiring with parties named at wall an with
parties not named. - lie did not know who
the latter were. If the Judge .Advocate in
troduced matter which had nothing to do
with Capt. Wirz, then of course he had no ob
ection.
Col. Chipman said there was a public and na
tional necessity to show up the infamy of these
men.
The court inquired whether he had the testi
mony at hand, and whether witnesses had
been sent for.
Colonel Chipman replied that many of them
had prevaricated or concealed facts, which,
made it necessary for the Government to take'
extraordinary measures toget at the truth.
The evidence was less material to the defend
ant cthan to the trial, and was of a general
abaracter. He could nottell when he could
procure the testimony. If this required de
fence, the Government would not resist an
application for a continuance.
Baker asked the commission to adjourn
for at least one week from next Tuesday, for
the following reasons
First. That not coming into the case at the
day of-its opening I have had -no time to do
more than keep along daily with the examina
tion of witnesses put upon the stand by the
Prosecution. I have had no- time to inform
myself of what witnesses the defence have
had, nor what they will testify to generally,
nor upon what points any certain wisnesses
will testify upon. Upon all these matters I
must inform myself by calling our witnesses
together and learning from them what they
know and upon what factsin the case they can
tet:tift. To do this requires time, which I must
ask 0 the court.
Second. There are•many polite in the pro.
seeution filet closed, as there always arc in
every case, and more especially , in cases of the
magnitude of this, which admit and require
at our hands complete refutation and con
tradiction. This I know can be done, but it
necessitates the labors of overlooking the
testimony and documents of the prosecution,
which number several thousand pages, and re
quires much research and time.
And the third reason, and which I regret to
offer, is that the labors devolving noon me in
the ease have proved quite too heavy, and my
own health requires that I should have a few
days' rest. I regret very much to ask any
favors of this court for reasons personal to
myself, but when I state to the court that I
am unable to go further with the case without
rest, I trust the court will do me the honor to
believe that the statement comes not from a
wish, but from my impaired condition.
A fourth reason, and the all important one
in our defence, is this, and to give it more
weight with the court being more clearly
seen, I must state it in comparison with the
means and powers of the Government : The
Government has shown a commendable dis
position to do in the general what could be
made strongly to appear to be necessary for
the defendant; but it should bear in mind that
it had employed many months before the trial
commenced in preparing this_prosecution.
The learned gentlemen conducting the pro
secution have had the advantage of all the fa
cilities coming from that most efficient de
partment, known as -the Bateau of Military
'Justice, and I may add, with honor rather
than disrespect, the advantage of the advice
and judgment of that truly able and worthy
public servant, Judge Holt, in devising the
path for them to pursue; They have had mo
ney untold at their command. They have had
agents, servants, clerks and reporters for
every convenience and every want. They
have bad the whole or any portion of
the detective and military force of the
country to search up and bring before them
any and every person who could in any way
or by the slightest word give them any,light
upon their side of the case. In a weird, then
they have had all that a great, earnest, and
all-powerful Government could withprudenee
bestow in accumulating the - whole debris of
the fallen Southern Confederacy . upon , the
head of Captain Wirz. But of this I. do not
complain for I recite it only in comparison.
flow is it now with the defence? Captain
Wirn lies before you with a mind so Shattered
that he is unable even to give his counsel
reliable information upon the most vital
points of his defence. Ile has not even the
means to procure the necessities of a sick
man, much less to defray the expenses inci
dental to a trial like this. Ile has books
and documents, but they, have until to-day
been kept from his counsel by the Govern
, ment. lie has witnesses, like the Government,
in all positions, and in almost every State and
village in the country. Some of them have
come at his request but many more are kept
away, even after being subpoinaetl, because of
their want of means to come. Others again
write and say, "We have seen the charges,
and we can lay, from our long stay at Ander
sonvine, that such and such ones are not true,
but we have no means to come unless you send
it to us." The places of residence of others
who area most important are known, but they
can only be caught by sending -messengers
to find out and accompany them. But this
is not all. Sonia who have already arrived
here, from the necessities of their faint
lies and the difficulty of meeting their
expenses, have left and gone away, while
others have been retained only by advances
of money made by counsel themselves. Other
witnesses again write from a distanee, under
fictitious names, asking if they will be pro
tected if they come to testify. Others who
are most important will not come unless, at
great expense ' we send some one to bring them
here. Here is sickness and misery struggling
against opulence and power. Here is abject
poverty grappling with untold millions ; here
is a poor, destitute, distracted, and shut.up
prisoner, with powerless and inefficient coun
sel, endeavoring to compete with all the ability
and power and means that the most powerful
Government can bestow to crush him. Truly,
gentlemen, I may say that we, as his counsel,
in all our good intentions are but presumptu
ous. We, in our weakness, do but insult the
majesty of our Government when we attempt
so much. For these reasons, then, I ask the
court to give us at least a week from next
Tuesday before we enter into the defence, and
if, during the meantime, for the want of means
we cannot get together the distantly-separated
elements of our defence, I, for one, I fear,
shall feel it my duty to relinquish it entirely.
Lest any misconstruction be put upon my lan
guage—and it be said I want confidence in our
case—l must reiterate that I believe Captain
Wirz has a good and complete defence..
Colonel Chipman said the last remark of the
sentleman was an insult to the hundred United
tates soldiers who had testified in this case.
It was in effect, a charge that they had testi
fied falsely.
Mr. Baker replied that there could be no
such - inference drawn from his remarks. He
would say the prosecution could not make the
horrOrS of Andersonville too bad by the lan
guageor proof of any of the witnesses. We
may admit everything charged to have been
done, but we may also deny that Capt. Wirz
did it. . • „.

closing scene here yesterday, you would not

Major General Thomas said that Mr. Baker
had drawn a comparison between the power of
the Government and the helplessness of the
prisoner. He- believed that everything had
been. done by the Government to assist the de
fence.
Mr. Baker. We admit it.

The court, after deliberating with closed
doors, announced their decision on the appli

motion_ for an adjourniment for a week, but

For the past two or three weeks the Demo
cracy of Norristown have been making im
mense preparationa for a striking meeting of
ratification. Four-and-twentycommittee men
have each night gone from hostelrie to hos-
Wide (we will not use the vulgar term),
and from Democratic house to Demo
ciatic house,. gathering in the battered
hats, the wherewithal to pay the ex
penses. Enough seems to, have been ga
thered to engage a band and the Odd-}

place. But, after all the preparations, after
all the inducements held out in the as.
surance that "our candidate" and." standard
bearer" would be there. the little hall,which
will bold about five hundred people, was
no more than comfortably filled. There
were strag„gleril On the stairs but they were
only little boys taking their first lessons in
smoking or chewing tobacco. The audience,
however, such as it was, seemed respectable—
uniforms were interspersed through it—and
nOw and then, when their prejudices were tick

his case the applause was short lived. In se

the meeting would be incomplete without U,

He bad been invited to address the assem
blage by the Montgomery Democratic Com
mittee. and in addressing it he felt bound to
say that the issues to be presented in October
were the most important ever before present
ed in any contest. The issues were those of
civil policy. Should the Government made by
our fathers, and handed down by them to us,
he administered according tothe Constitution
and laws, or rather should it be made respon
sible for cting in direct violation of both the
Constitution and the lawsl It was said that
history often repeated itself. It was an axiom
also in politics. They all remembered the plan
which was formed when the Federal Conven
tion made the Union—it was whole in its every
feature; it-provided for trial by jury, ete.,
and gave a status to the States. A National
Government was made by the union of seve
ral minor sovereignties; the States them
selves being under a constitution, and re
taining Certain powers within themselves
in their own political right. After the ex•
pertinent was put in motion, amendments
were found necessary, guaranteeing se
curity to person and property, denytng any
searches without warrant, &c. Colonel Davis
referred to the testing of some of these rights
during the Administration of the elder Adams,
and remarked that the issues of to-day gave
rise to questions of almost identical signifi
cance; and to show this to be so he would era
mine the leaders of the Republican party and
prove that the spirit of their doctrine is op
posed to the Spirit of the Constitution. lie
did examine some of them—among them Henry
Ward Beecher and Thaddeus Stevens—to show
that they desired that the South should be held
as a conquered province, and its people shorn
of all political power. - This was the great

Johnson—it had never yet been endorsed
by those who desired the South to remain a
conquered province, lint there was one
point for which Colonel Davis would contend,
and that was that this was a white man's go
vernment. This formed the staple of his whole
speech, and was the most applauded. " This
Government is a white man's government,"
exclaimed Colonel Davis enthusiastically ; " it
was founded for white men, and in no sense can
it recognize the negro as anything else than
an inferior, to be governed )y whites, but—
but—treatedkindly. He should not be allowed
to vote, and every white man who is a white
man should advocate such a sound doctrine."
Negroes mere good for nothing. They could
not govern themselves. St. Domingo was an
instance. There they were all the time cut
ting each others throats. Mexico was another,
where, out of eight millions only three had. any
white blood in their veins. They never were
fit to have anything to say for themselves,much
less for others. Apply these facts to Pennsyl
vania. It had seventy-five thousand negroes,
and twelve thousand of them perhaps were
old enough to vote. Give them the ballot, and
their votes might decide the conflict over
white men's votes. They might send members
to Congress, elect a black Governor, or even a
black President. "Do the Abolitionists teach
this doctrinel" asked Mr. Davis. " Pm think
in, they do," 3 , elled a little red-headed En
glishman, at the end of the room. " Yes,
sir-e-e," piped a soldier on the front benches,
emphasizing his assertion with a forcible slap
of the knee. "That's` so," said -a frowsy
little boy, astride a chair-back. "That's so,"
said all. "I say they do," repeated Colonel
Davis. " What, says General Meagherl" con
tinued the speaker, addressing by inference
every Irishman in the room. No Irishman
knew, or did not care to say he did. Col. D.
then read -a letter of the General in which he
held that the "black heroes" had entitled
themselves to liberty, suffrage, &c., by their
bravery in vindicating the country. One of
the hearers thought Meagher a fool, and said
so, to the delight of the whole gathering..
Beecher was quoted in a paragraph similar In
tenor to that of Meagher, and then the effects
of those suggestions were considered. When
the negroes would be enfranchised, 800,010
votes would be given for the Republican
ticket, and white men would be overslau,ghed!
This watt the object of the ItepubliCanparty, al
though their convention in this State, atraid
of meeting, had dodged the issue. But Stevens
had ahown the animus of his party when
in his speech in reference to reconstruc
tion, he said : "New lords make new laws."
It would be noticed that Stevens said
nothing directly about the negro question,
but the whole spirit of the party nad leaned
that way for months and months, ever since
its organization indeed. Only last winter
c eng un paned a law enabling_ negroes to
ride in the cars of Washington. Here
nies had set apart cars for the exclusive use
of colored persons. The popular feeling was
with them, and. yet our Legislature passed an
act compelling the whites to ride with the
blacks, compelling your (the audience's)
wives, danghters and sisters to consort with
blacks whether they_ willed or not. The
jest legislature of Massachusetts made it
punishable, by fine and. impriontaent if
a landlord denied a black man the pri
vileges of his hotel. They can, by law,
enter any hotel, and stay there as tong as
theyplease. It had been tested, and the law
was found good. Colonel Davis had no doubt
that if the equal-rights party were successful
at the coming ' election, its very first measure
would be to admit its colored friends to
suffrage and. always hold power.
lie would now talk directly to the soldiers,
for he had a right to talk to them. He had
been a soldier himself. (Voices, "Bully for
you."] Had the - soldiers any country to-day]
When they went to the war in '6l they were
restoration nderstand Constitution w for the
of the and the
Union. [Applause.] Withthatdetermination
they remained in arms till rebellion was
crushed. That was the understanding the.Go
vernnaent had with them all along. At the
extra session of Congress, 22d of July, ISat,a
resolution was passed to the effect that tie
war was not to be carried on in any spirit of
anger, or for any purpose of 'conquest or sub-

many a soldier signed it lit hie blood. The sob
diers performed theirpart. They served three
and four years, fighting for the Union, and
when the rebellion was crushed, though Ste.
rens and General Ilartranft say that it is not,
in the very teeth of that resolution of that
bond they violated it in spirit end
" This war is. not waged in a spirit of blind
anger, or for . any purpose of eonquest
or subjugation," says these resolutions.
These were the words, and now the
rebellion was crushed, but the Repub
lican party Wanted the South .shorn of all
her political power. Thaddetie Reverie had
told them that " the States must be held in
subjugation, for with new lords came dew
laws,if Zee. 'Thus, the Government had not
kept its bond. "After our services had been
had," Complained Colonel Davis( "after we
had allowed the Republican party to manage
the war during the rebellion, they pay no at
tention to the bond theygave us, and keep
part of the country in subjugation. We did
not fight for any such purpose; for any such
thing as the Republicans assure us we did.

That's so ;" and yells of approval from all
sides, with gyrations by a semi-uniformed man
in front of the platform.] "The policy of these
men who hold and have held themselves as Su ,

who were not in the war, but afar from danger,

I went into the war I was not simple-minded

would not do it. [Yells of delight 4 ;Vow, gen

prove it: , The Colonelhere cited the factthat
negroes always got work from the Republi
eans in preference to White men. Xeres
had been sent - by the train load from ash-
Ington to Rhode Island at tile expense of the
Government, getting work before soldiers.
On the abandoned lands of the South, negroes
receive the preference. The plantations are
stocked for the negro, seed is found them
everything, while white menu and white eel
diers stand fdle without help. "Now you

Explosion in Pittsburg.
[From the Pittsburg Gazette of - Friday evening.}
This- morning, about half-past ten o'clock, a
small boat, called the Nimrod, exploded her
boiler at the Point causing the death of the
captain, his wife and cialighter, and the engi•
neer, and the injury of several othera, On re
pairing to the scene of the disaster we ascer
tained the following facts : The Nimrod, under
command of Capt. James McCormack, had been
engaged by Mr. Robt. Daniel to tow a flat load
of salt from the Allegheny river round to the
point, and the tug was just making the landing
when the boiler exploded with terrific force,
blowing the upper part of the boat to frag
ments, and sinking the hull, so that not a ves
tige or her remained above water, except what
had been blown ashore. The stern of the fiat
was blown out, and the nut settled down to
the bottom, but as the bow was ashore it af
forded a means of escape to those who reached
it. Captain McCormack was-struck directly in
the forehead with - a dying fragment, and in
stantly killed. Ills body was • thrown into the
flat, from which it was carried and laid upon
the shore. The wife and daughter of Captain
McCormack - were also on board, and were not
seen after the explosion. The daughter was
about fourteen years of age: The river is being
dragged for their bodies, but as yet withoul
success. William Pressure, the engineer, was
badly scalded and blown ashore. He was con
veyed to his residence on Robinsonstreet,near
Cerry, Alleghenv where he died at 1 o'clock
this afternoon. The Wit* employed at W.
Wallace's works on Liberty street, at the me
morable explosion there, and escaped unin
jured.
• Robert Daniel, owner of the salt flat, was cut
on the face with a portion.of the flying wreck,
and knocked down. lie was completely
drenched with water, but escaped to the shore,
and had his injuries dressed by Dr. Stone
road. He resides about six miles from Free
port, Arumtropg 991- 11 4 . • His inj cries are not
serious, and he was soon able to go down to
the wreck.
The pilot, Hiram Baker, was in the pilot
house at the time of the explosion, and Vas
blown into the river. He was got out of the
water, and conveyed to the Offiee of Dr.
Rogers, where his injuries were dressed. Ile
was badly scalded about the face, and his nose
and mouth were badly lacerated. He was con
siderably injured otherwise, but sustained no
internal injuries , , and his life is not in danger.
He was conveyed to his Waif:WIW I 0/1 Th u d
street, near Ferry,
A lad named James Bunton, son of Mrs.
Elizabeth Bunton, widow, residing on Hay
street, was standing on the wharf, in company
with a boy named Riley Walton, looking at the
boat. He was strileie and knocked down, find
sustained severe injuries. He was conveyed
to No. 14 Penn street, where his injuries were
dressed. He appears to be hurt internally. He
had been sent to school in the morning, but
was " playing truant." A. man named iTames
Olden, residing in West Pittsburg, was sitting
in a skill' near the tugboat, but the force of the
explosion threw him ashore, a distance of
sixty feet. He was badly bruised by the fall,
but not seriously hurt.
The Nimrod had been built by McCormick
& Co., New York oil dealers and was intended
for towing oil flats about Oil City. She was a
very small craft, being about sixty feet in
length and twelve feet beam. She was fur
nished 'with a tubular boiler, and had a small
cabin on deck, She was regarded as a partial
failure, and bad been sent down here for in
spection by the Government officers. The mar
chinery was made in the East, and the boat
was fitted up at Oil City.
The boiler head was blown entirely off, and
was carried, high in the air, a distance of two
hundre ntv or throe hundred yards. It
passed overtwo blocks of buildings, and fell
in the yard of Messrs. Bunton, Miller .tt Co. , s
planing mill on Penn street.. This piece would
weigh between three and four hundred
pounds. The head was flanged and the iron
was pronounced by competent judge§ to be of
a superior quality. Pieces of the wreck were
seen to fly over the top of the ferry-boat" Ben
ton," which bad just landed alongside as the
explosion occurred. Great consternation was
created on the ferry-boat, as the passengers
had not yet landed, but the boat did not sus
tain the slightest injury. The cause of the
explosion is yet unknown, but the matter will
be fully investigated by the coroner.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Holders of 5-20 coupons payable in November
can have their coupons paid in gold, on and
after to-day, on presentation to the assistant
treasurers of the United States. We have
'reason to State that it will be highly satisfac
tory to the Government if all such holders
would demand immediate payment, as more
than double the amount of gold customs to
pay the November interest is now on hand.
In the past, it has been found that the unwil
lingness to anticipate the payment of interest
has not been always met with a corresponding
alacrity on the part of those entitled to it, In
view of the extreme anxiety of the Secretary
of the Treasury to disburse the gold at once,
and the probability that when the transfers of
registered a. 20 stock are closed on the Beth in
stant, it is suggested that the Stock Exeliarige
Board will direct both the registered and
coupon stock to be dealt in, after October 1, as
ex-November interest. If this should be done,
there Wellid be no motive left to the holders
of the coupon bonds to delay eattig for their
interest growing out of the market quotations
of the bonds.
