unnecessarily, he sustained them generally
so long asthey were a necessity of the war.
Military necessity justifies or at least ex
cuses, alpiost anything. But the plea of
necessity - 'growing out of the - war, ceased
two years ago and more.. The Government
has no valid reason for perpetuating an un
omvertible paper currency.
Democrats, including the Post, have still
less excuse than the government for insist—
ing upon the lengthening of the era of un
con-vertibility. They denounced the Legal
Tenure Acts from the start, as unconstitu
tional and void. When Judges W?ODWARD,
THOUPSON and SIIAMWOOD delivered Opin
ions in cases pending before theml, going to
exactly that extent, they clapped their
hands in exstacies of delight, and discoursed
enthusiastically of the superior excellence
of a currency consisting of "mint drops,"
or, at least, of notes convertible into such at
the pleasure of the holders. NotV, they are
the champions of "irredeemable paper
promisei to pay."
!I I I
The GAZETTE is not in that i line, and
never was. For three years it'has steadily
insisted, as the Post knows full well, upon
returning promptly to specie payments,
thus affording one currency to the bond
holder and the bill holder, the capitalist
and the laborer ; irrodeemable paper for
none. •
Are you answered ?
DISCORD AMONG THE DOCTORS.
Mr. HOFFMAN, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of New York, made a speech
at. Buffalo a few days since, from which we
quote :
„ Every man here knows, and ievery in
telligent man throughout the country
knows, that this Government cannot, and
never will pay the prawilial of these bonds in
gold as long as gold is worth as much more
than greenbacks, as it is to-day. [Loud
cheers.] If this Government cannot make
its greenbacks worth more than seventy
cents on the dollar, it cannot fray these
bonds in gold. There is no use in shutting
your eyes to that fact. If you are to meet
the question and remove the difficulties
which sur ound it, you will say these green- .
backs will be made as good as golds and then
there will be no question as - to the payment
of your bonds.” I
This is a plain declaration and from high
Democratic authority that the Government
will not pay the bonds, at all while gold is
at a premium, but will first bring the cur
rency up to the same value as gold; and
then " there will be no question" about it,
since nothing is left to dispute about. This
is unusually sound doctrine for a Democrat,
but it is a very remarkable repudiation of
the New York platform. The Democracy
need peace.
, On the other hand, Gen. BOWIE, a distin
guished Maryland Democrat, declared at
Baltimore, when ratifying the SErSIOUR
and BLAIR nominations, that he was in fa
vor of taxing the bonds "because they were
the means for carrying on the most unholy
war in history; because he could read Upon
their face a contribution to an unholy, and
wicked purpose." . :5
Arid yet another eminent Democrat, l Mr.
Bzwimarrost, proposes to destroy the value
of bonds and currency alike, by repudiating
the interest and swamping the principal.
He also considered the war, which created
the debt, "an unholy and wicked one," but
takes another road to accomplish the same
object as Bowrz held dear.
Evidently, the Democracy need pacifica
tion.
Gov. BULLOCK, of Georgia, boldly and
powerfullY protests against the new regime
of rebellion and violence in the Legislature
of his State. Gov. Scow, of South Caro
lina, informs the rebels iof that State that
he can keeP the freedmen in order, and
them also. Gen. Gar sx, in Mississippi,l
mfinies to permit any action to be taken by
the Ku-Klux, looking to any participation;
in the Presidential election.. He informs'
the rebels that no law exists requiring •cir
authorizing him to countenance such action.
It is also announced that the President
has assured the Legislative Committee from
Tennessee Of his determination to sustain
the- civil authority, in that State, and the
necessary orders, to be sustained by an
adequate force, have alresdy been issued
therefor. Mr. JOHNSON seems indisposed
to increase the certainty of the defeat of
SniMona and BLAIR by any palpable
collusion in the rebel crusade against the
Constitution and laws. We shall renew
our congratulations upon his astuteness,
when he may have committed himself as
decidedly upon similar applications from
the constituted authorities of the recon
structed- States.

I , ln,LrEEN's BEND, La., April 21, '63.
DEAR FATITE.R: Your letter of the 7th of
April has just this day reached me. I
hasten to answer your interrogations.
When I left Memphis, with my
.past ex
perience, I prohibited trade below Helena.
- Trade to that point had previously been
- opened by the Treasury Department. I
give no permits to buy cotton, and if I find
any one engaged in the business I send ,
them out of the Department and seize their
cotton for the Government. I havegiven a
few families permission to leave the coun
try and to take with them so far as ?Semple
their cotton. In doing this I have' been de
ceived by nn7rincipled speculators, who
have smoicessfullY smuggled themselves
along with the army in spite of orders pro
hibiting them, and have been ; compelled to
suspend this favor to persons anxious to get
out of Dixie.
I understand that Government has adopt-
ed some plan to regulate getting the cotton
out of the country. Ido not know what
plan they have adopted, but am satisfied
that any that can he adopted, except for
Government to take the.cotton themselves,
and rule out speculators altogether, will be
a bad one. I feel all army followers who
are engaged in speculating off the misfor
tunes of their country, and really aiding
the enemy more than they possibly could do
by open treason, should be drafted at once
and put in the first forlorn hope. -
I move my headquarters to New Car
thage to morrow. This Whole country is
under Water, except strips of land behind
the levdes, along - the rivers and bayous,
and makes operations almost impossible. I
struck upon a plan which I thought would
give tne a foothold on the east bank of the
Mississippi before the enemy could
offer any great resistance. But the
difficulty of the last one and a half
miles next to Carthage makes it so ted
ious that the enemy cannot fail to dis
cover my plans. ' I am doing my best and
am full of hope for complete success. Time
has been consumed, but it was absolutely
impossible to avoid it. An attack upon
the rebel works at any time since I arrived
here must inevitably have resulted in the
loss of a large portion of my army, if not
in an entire defeat. There were but two
points of land, Haines' Bluff and Vicks—
burg itself, out of water at any place from
which troops could march. These are thor
oughly fortified, and it would be folly to
attack them as long as there is a prospect of
turning their position. I never expect t&
have an army under my command whipped
unless it is very badly whipped and can't
help it, but I have no idea of being driven
to do a desperate or foolish act by the howl
bags of the press. It is painful to me, as a
matter of course, to see the course pursued
by some of the papers. But there is no one
less disturbed by them than myself. I have
never sought a large command, and have
no ambitious ends to accomplish. Were
it not for the, very natural desire of prov
ing myself equal to anything expected of
me, and the evidence of my removal would
afford that I was not thought equal to it, I
would gladly accept a less responsible po
sition. I have no desire to be an object of
envy or jealousy, nor to have this war con
tinue. I want, and will do my part toward
It, to put down the rebellion in the shortest
possible time, without expecting or desiring
any other recognition than a quiet approval
of my course.
I beg that you will destroy this letter ;
at least, do not show it.
Julia and the children are here, but will
go up by the first good boat. I sent for
her to come down and get instructions
about some business I want attended to,
and see no immediate prospect of attending
to myself. I.3lorssEs.
THE REPUBLICANS of New Orleans vin
dicated their right on Saturday night to
make a public demonstration in that city, by
a torch-light procession and other modes of
peaceable display. The Thug Democracy
having threatened that it should be inter
rupted by mob violence and bloodshed, it
becanie evident that any disturbance of that
character would be promptly and effectively .
repelled, Measures were therefore taken by
the military for preserving the 'peace, and
the Thugs, finding the affair too Strong for
them, wisely forbore any interference. The
procession was very large, and its transpar
encies bore such inscriptions as the follow
ing
"Tammany Hall—the Hall of Traitors;"
"Remember Lincoln;" "Men Enough have
been Murdered;" "Seymour Means Sla
very," "No Compromise with Rebels;"
"Let us, have Peace."
Tnar. Sunday Leader says :
"The Gazette has 'the beet authority' for
saying that Judge Mellon will not vote for .
Seymour. The Gazette's authority is bad.
It has been the common street talk for a
month past that the .Judgc is as earnest a
worker for Democratic success as the duties
of his office permit. His Honor does not
obtrude his opinions, nor ii:ses he hide them.
They are easily found out by the 'anxious
inquirer. '"
Our authority is. Judge MELLoN. The
Leader's is "common street talk." After due
consideration, we prefer ours.

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING
'AT C . ITV. HALL -
Speeches by Judg Bond and Cen. King
t Maryland. - -
The meeting called at Hare's Hotel, Sat
urday evening, in consequence of the heavy
rain which commenced falling about
half-past seven o'clOck, was held in City
Hall, and notwithstanding the rain which
fell in torrents for over an hour, the Hall
I!
was filled to its ntmos capacity.
At eight o'clock the meeting was called
to order by W. A. Herron, Esq., who pro
posed the following list of officers:
President—James McAuley, Esq.
Vice Pr esidents—J ames Reese,Capt. W.
B. Cook, B. Morgans ern, Samue Morrow,

Kean, Col. Joseph Kaye, Charles Dravo,
Dr. Gross, Ditnie. Fralich, W. C. Aughin
baugh, C. C. Smith ani John Phillips. ,
Secretaries—Reporters of the Republican
press. ,
Mr. McAuley, upo taking the chair,
thanked the meeting for selecting him to
preside. He said he Ii dno speech to make,
but there were two 1 'al men from Mary
land who would addr ss the meeting. He
then introduced Judg Bond, of Baltimore,
who said :
Wise men are dec ived by subterfuge
once, fools are deceiv d many times. In
1860 and '6l the ears of the people of the
United States heard f om the men of the
South many threats. They said . if Abra
ham Lincoln was elected they would secede,
and that -one southern man would put to
flight ten northern mudsilis or working
men. The hunker politicians of the North
said these were idle threats, that they did
not mean what they said; but the sequel
proved that they were in earnest and that
they meant to execute their threats. The
same class of persons in the South are again
at work firing the southern heart to open
rebellion against the laws of the land, and
the same northern croakers tell us they do
not mean it,lhat they are only idle threats;
but we men of Maryland know that they
do mean what they say, and if they should
succeed in electing their candidates the
threats of. Frank Blair, Wade Hampton,
and othera of that class, to overthrow the
State governments es ablished by Congress
in the South, will - be attempted.
The speaker here turned his attention to
the question of reconstruction. He held
that the North had the right to dictate the
terms upon which the rebellious States
should be restored to their rights under the
constitution. He cared not wheVer they
were out of the Union or not; they had in
augurated a wicked rebellion against the
laws of the nation, which it had cost thou
sands of lives and treasure to conquer, and
having been conquered must expect their
conquerors to dictate tie terms of pea .e.
The victors had been to lenient sometimes
in imposing present conditions upon them;
they only asked them to give some guaran
tee for their conduct in the future, and if,
according to the Democratic doctrine, there
was no power in the government to protect
itself against treason and secession, Con
gress certainly had the right to impose
such conditions upon these conquered trai
tors as to prevent them from making an.
other attack upon the life of the nation.
The objections of the Democracy to the
roe instruction ,policy of Congress wore,
that it placed the negro on an equality with
them, and he feared there were some weak
kneed Republicans affected in the same
way. He held that if God created the negro
equal to a Democrat, the Democrat could
not help it; and if he did not, then the ne
gro could, not help it. The Republican
party were not as a party afraid of negro
equality; knowing the negro to be a down
trodden, unfortunate creature, humanity
demanded that he should be raised from
his low estate, and the party is trying to
elevate him from his degraded condition.
He did not think the negro his equal, and
therefore did not a-k an enactment of the
Legislature to keep him from competition
with them. If God has created the negro
inferior to the white race, it certainly was
ii
not necessary to place a State law i his
way as a barrier to prevent him fro be
coming the superior of his former m ter.
The Democrats say that we, the Reipub
'lean patty, have degraded white labor by
bringing It in competition with new
gro labor. This proposition he said was
false, and was only intended to catch votes.
Four millions of slaves had been liberated,
it was true; but was not the competition
greater and more degrading when they
were in slavery, and fed and clothed by
their masters in the moat economical
manner.
The speaker referred to the rebel rule in
Maryland, and said it was not probable
that rebels were more mild further South.
In Maryland he said that the negro had no
rights that men recognized. The judges
- juries and officers were all rebels, and
the poor negro was in a worse condition
than when he ,vas in slavery. .
In referring to the financial question,rthe
speaker said the question was not whether
we sh.aild pay the debt in gold or in green
backs, but it was whether we should pay it
at all or not; and lithe Democratic party
succeed this fall it never will be paid. If
the South regained a controlling influence
in the Congress of the United States they
could not speak of high taxes, because .
they paid none, and they , would double
them by pensioning Sout , ,ern soldiers and,
widows and by paying for the slaves who
had been liberated.
It did not , become the Democrats, who had
forced this upon the country and compelled
then to incur the debt to crush out the re
bellion to talk of high taxes.
He closed his remarks with a most elo
quent and beautiful peroration, which
set theaudiencein aperiect blaze of enthu
siasm.'. .
Prof. Pope was loudly' called for, and
responded with the "U.. 7. Race."
General King, of Maryland; being called
for; was introduced by the Chairman.
General King said: When the pistol of
Wilkes Booth flashed In the theatre at
Washington City and stopped. the beating
of the kindest heart, that ever throbbed in
the breast of man, and sent the spirit ofAb
raliam Lincoln straight up to Heaven , to
dwell among the stars, the third act of this
rebellion began ,After failing in the' at
tempt to destroy the Government by open
rebeilion, the rebatesought to overthrow it
by cowerdiy assassinating the President.
The war, he said, -was- forced upon the
Northern people and the, 'Smith had been
conquered, and bad it• nof,been for 'that
miserable tool, Andrew Johnson, who was
forced upon the nation by the act Stan as
sassin, , paws . and quietness einuld. aow
reign throughout the land. . , . i
The speaker said that the same'ssues
were presented in the approaching contest,
to be decided by the ballot, that were fought .
for south of the Potomac, and If we fail to
elect Grant all the noble lives lost and the
- millions of treasure expended in that con
test will have been spent in vain. •
The financial question was here taken up
and discussed in an able manner. The
speaker held. that the public debt had Weil l
reduced two hundred and fifty millions in
'addition to paying the inter, sten the whole
amount since August lst, 1865, and in addi
tion to this they were compelled to support
an army of sixty thousand men to take cars
of Southern Democrats. The Democracy,
he said, charged the Republican party with
squandering the people's m ney. This he
said was fa se, as the -actual expenses of
running the goverument were not ae great
as they were during 'Buchanan's adminis
tration, notwithstanding the country had ,
largely increased in population in that
time, and the.army was neatly sour times,
as large - as it then was. . • ~
In ape king of the payment of the bonds,
the speaker said that it did not: enter into
the contest. He, however, refuted tho idea
that the Government securities wore held
by them, but showed imnclusively by
figiires that the gent mej. rity of them
were held bythelaboring classes, by ins-w.

yofition;iotikaid that if the policy of pay
ing the bonds in greenbacks was carried
out that the whole country w‘ rild be bank=
rapt within thirty days after the scheme is
inaugurated, every work•hop in this city
would be closed - end business would be
suspended throughout the land.
The speaker referred in eloquent terms
to the record of General Grant during the
war, and closed h s address with an elo
quent peroration, in which he urged upon
all present to See to it that treason rec, iced
a death blow at the October election in this
State.
The following resolution was then
adopteed :
I?esolved, That the thanks of the Repub
licans of Allegheny county aro hereby re
turned to the two loyal, true Union Mary
landers, Judge Bond and General Ring.
On motion the resolution was adopted
with three cheers.

after which the meeting adjourned.
Grand Rally at Turtle Creek
On Saturday, at four o'clock P. .11., a large
and spirited meeting was hold at Turtle
Creek, on the lino of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The meeting was organized by
the Fel , ction of the following pfricers:
1 resident—Col. Jos. M. Kinkead.
Vice Presidents—Thos Park, Wm. Grey,
Alexander Kerr,
Duncan Hamilton, Col.
S. Elder, Robert Shaw and .lohn Morrison.
Secretaries—Dr. W. L. fluster, M. V.
Douglass and David S. McKee.
Major A. M. Brown made a t•tirring, char
acteristic speech. After a brief allusion to
the Union and rebel' candidates, and a
graphic description of New York Conven
tion, the M jor discussed the issues of the
campaign in a fearless and i ,, telligible way.
Hon. Russell Errett followed with a
strong and convincing speech. He first
urged the importance of a full vote in
October, as an overwhelming majority then
will encourage the Union men throughout
the land, and add much to the gl.,riotts
lumph of the Union cause in November.
He then proceeded to give an elucidation of
the XlVth admendment and the recon
strn•tion acts.
, Both speakers were attentively listened
to throughout, not one of the audience
leaving till the meeting was closed.
A splendid campaign song was sung by
Prof. Slack in his good stsle, after which
the meeting adjourned.
In Saturday's Gazette we had a brief
article under the head of "Where are the
Postoffice Delectiveir" in reference to
which W. H. McKelvey, Postmaster of
Allegheny, writes an article so personal,
and as we claim so unwarranted by our
article, that for the present. we withhold
it from the public, believing that upon a
critical re-perusal of our article of Satur
day he will fail to find a single word of
blame or censure of the Postmaster or
Postoffice in Allegheny. We certainly
intended to impute no blame and none can
be fairly inferred from what was said.
We simply stated facts—precisely as they
were given, and the author is, as.we stated,
a perfectly reliKble gentleman, whose
statements we contend it was our duty, as
faithful public journalists, to make public.
It is thus, more than in any or all other
ways, that the correction c:f evils
such as the one mentioned is su
perinduced. We trust Mr. McKelvey will
agree with us in this opinion. It is of
the utmost importance that the commer
cial correspondence of the country con
fided to the mails should be securelyguard
ed over every mile of their transmission.
We believe the General Postoffice Depa ,
t
ment undeztakes this duty and employs
guards and detectives over at least the prin
cipal routes. It is a quite possible thing
that some of these are unfaithful or negli
gent. What we wrote was intended and
we think calculated to arouse such to great
er vigilance. We thought, and still think,
we ni.de a proper use of the facts stated to
us, in th's behalf, and that the Postmaster
has wholly misunderstood the article and
Its °ejects, and in place of censuring us he
should commend our course as one which
he might with great propriety authorize el
approve. We have no tees confidence in
Mr. McKelvey as a f dthffil and efficient offi
cer than is felt by the business men of Al
legheny generally.
