IMPORTANT LETTER,
From Gen. John A. Dix;
AMERICAN 'MINISTER TO FRANCE
:MS Will:late of Horatio Seymour
—Says He has not a Single Qual
ification for the -Presidency,
and that His. Election Would
be a National Calamity—He

on His Good Sense, Decision of

T3Pr Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—General Dix, the
American Minister to France, has sent the
following letter to a friend in this city. It
was not written for publication , but the gen
tleman to whom' it was addressed has eon
sented to give it to the public :
r PArirs, Sept. 4, 1808.
,7 /2.1T DEAN. gin.: It was my hope that my
distance from home would have saved me
from all participation in the political ex
citement prevailing there, but I notice in
one of the newspapers that I am heart and
hand with Mr. Seymour. I am not aware
, of anything in the present or past which
could rightfully subject inc to such an im
putation. I have been acquainted with. Mr.
Seymour more than a quarter of a century.
He is an amiable gentleman, of unexcep
,tionable private character and respectable
- talents, but you know, as well as I, that
She has not a single qualification for the sue.-
cessful execution of the high cciat\ trust to
which he has been nominated, and lie is espe
cially deficient in that firmness of purpose,
which; in critical emergencies, is the only safe
guard against public disorder and calamity.
He has been twice. at different
times, Governor of the. State of
Iceiv York,, and he has in neither case had
talent or tact to keep the Democratic party
of the State together more than two years.
I should regard his election at this juncture,
when steadiness of purpose, decision and
s elf control arc so :much needed, as one of the
greatest CALAMITIES that could be ;Ii ;It 'our
in
country. Moreover, he has been put
nomination by a Convention which has
openly declared the purpose of those it rep
resents to pay the greater part of the public: \
debt contracted to preserve the Union, in
-depreciated paper. Such a measure would,
in my judgment, be a palpable violation of
-public faith pledged under circumstances
which should have been binding on all
honorable men. Mr. Seymour has made
public !speeches to show that it is our duty
to pay the debt in specie. In accepting his
nomination to the Presidency, he adopts
the declaration that it ought to be paid in
paper. I know nothing so huniiliat
ing in the history of American poli
tics as this tergiversation. It was
perhaps, not unfit that Mr. Seymour, afterl
presiding in 1864 over the Chicago Conven-•
tion which declared the war a failure,
- should preside over' the Convention of 1868.
in which a proposition to discredit the
debt contracted to carry on the war was re
, \-eeived with tremendous cheering, and that
he should be the chosen instrument to exe
. •onte this "act of national turpitude. I do-
of
not believe that the wishes or opinions
the great body of the Democratic party are
'fairly expressed in these proceedings.
They have nothing in common With the
statesmanlike views of policy and
- die high sense of national honor"
which guided ithe party when Martin
- Thu Buren, William L. Yancey, Silas
Wright, Lewis Cass and Stephen A. Deng
lass. were among the. most \ conspicuous
oafelY or
mernbers. I see but one source of f
the country under the existing circumstances,
and that is the ELECTION of GENERAL
GRANT. In his decision of character, good
.sense, moderation and disinterested patriot
-ism, 'I believe the South will have a far
better hope of regaining the position in the
Union to which it is entitled than under a
\ man whose political career has been - in
nothing more conspicuously marked
• than in an utter infirmity of puthese

pose. independently of all
considerations I should be greatly surpris
ed if the pßople of the United States 'were
to elect as their. Chief Magistrate a iman,
who was making at the Academy of Music,
on the 14th of July, 1863, a speech deficient

Comn iissioner. Rollins. The principal rea
son given by these witnesses why the twen
ty supervisors required by law had not been
appointed, was that the Secretary insisted
that they should be chosen without regard
to party politics, if wit, teen that the Dem
ocratic party should have a po of
them. The sub-committee also entered into
and examined charges in which Hinckley is
concerned. It appeard no such charges
have been preparea either in the office of the
Secretary or in that of Commisioner, that
although Binckley is a subordinate officer,
neither of them had ordered him to pro
ceed to New York to make au examination
into the alleged frauds and in afeasance,
and that he lied made his report to the
President and not to Clem. The Secretary

things to be strictly honest. is said by
prominent p liticians here and elsewhere,

A PLEA. FOR SURRATT•
In the Criminal Court to-day Surrati's
counsel entered a special plea, claiming that
Surratt is within that portion of the amnes
ty proclamation pardoning all parties for
treason, who are not under indictment
for murder at common law.
Mr. Carrington entered a demurrer, say
ing the special plea is insufficient, inas
much as the proclamation excepts persons
under indictment or presentment on charges
of treason, the said plea hot setting forth
that defendant was not then under indict
ment or presentment, and further, that the
proclaintition does not affect charges in the
indictment. Mr. Ca.rrington supported his
demurrer' in an address, and was fol.owed
by Bradley and Merrick for Surratt and by

Blair on Reeonstruction.
The .2". r. Y. Sun has the following report
,_ ..
of a curious ' , and important conversation:
A well-known gentleman of this , city
was conversing with Gen. F. P. Blair, Jr.,
not long since, upon the power of Congress
to reconstruct the South. General Blair
warmly maintained that the reconstruction
laws were unconstitutional, and that there
'as no authority in tie National Govern
ment to endow negroes with the elective
franceise in the conquered States. "You
are mistaken," said his friend: "the Su
preme Court has fully decided the question
in favor of the power exercised by Con
gress."" ,
"How sot" asked the General. I. never
heard of any such decision."
"I will give you the points," was the an
saver. '
"1. The Supreme Court liL decided that
the National Government has the same
powers and rights as regards the States
lately in rebellion, as it would have toward
States or Territories conquered in war with
a foreign power.
"11. The, Supreme Court decided years
ago that in New Mexico, wich we had just
then conquered in the war W th Mexico, the
orders of General Kearney, the Military
Governor of that Territory, had all the force
of law and must be obeyed do such.
"111. Among these \ ordtfrs of General
Kearney, in New 'Mexico' was a code of
laws - which he promulgated some time about
1817, by which the rlghtof suffrage was
conferred upon all males of lawful age, with
out distinction of color, negroes included.
"IV. This code, Which Was thus imposed
on New Mexico by the mTary power, the
Supreme Court decided ' to be the rightful
law of the Territory, until it should be set
aside by express act of Con ress.
"V the apparent auth r of - this negro
Con
suffrage code was Fraud P. Blair, Jr.,
whose name was attached to it as Attorney
General of the Territory."
"That's true," responds
"but I didn't suppose any'
'iublican knew it."
Condition of the South.
The following is an extract froma private ,
.I..Prrty., Bedford county, Va.,
August 7, 1888. It-vas.w, rittek •-• ,Py gen
tleman who had always been a , Democrat
and went to Virginia strongly impressed
with the idea that the Smith was excusable
for what she had done. His letter indicates
where he stands now.
The rebel elements are now very hopeful,
and apparently very confident of the suc
cess of Seymour and Blair. They seem to
be perfectly carried away withthe belief
that the "lost cause" is to be recovered at
the ensuing election— u and as a consequence.
they!are extremely arrogant, vindictive and
violent in their words, and actions. It• is
about as much as a loyal man can do to
preserve and protect himself by keeping as
quiet as possible. It is unsafemow to speak
publicly, unless it be at the county seats,
whth.e there is some protection from the
government officers. Republican speakers
are frequently driven off even at such places.
In short, the rebellious, spirit is spin , as
rampant as ever. The ;native unionists say
the state of things is just about as 'bad as it
was in 1861. The poo4negroes has a very
hard time indeed. All sorts of violence and
oppression is practiced upon them. If Grant
and Colfax, and a republican majority in
Congress shall be elected, I have no
but what reconstruction will be easy in this
state. If we fail in that, so far as can be
seen, all will be lost, and 'Union men will
have to leave this country and the South
crnerally. They could not live here. But
lam confident that the republican rwty
will triumph, and that the loyal Union_men
in the South will then be masters of the sit
uation.
NV Melt is the Conservative t
Wade Hampton says that the Cause of the
late rebellion is not lost, that reconstruction
by Congress is revolutionary and void, and
should be overturned by the sword. Jolla
'H. Reagan, of Texas, the Postmaster Gen
eral of the rebel Cenfederacy, says : "The
duty of the Southerners is to obey the laws,
accept the situation in regard to suffrage as
it now stands, and, like true and honest
men, to labor for the restoration of peaCe
and harmony
be the sections."
Which is the Conservative of these two
men, and which course is the way of peace ?

"It is interesting," says at Democratic pa
per, "tq observe how the military suppor
ters of Grant one by one turn out to have
been cruel and bad men." Sherman, for
instance,
and Thomas, and Sheridan and
Meade.
It is equally interesting, on the other
band, to see how the military supporters of
Seymour turn out to have been humane and
patriotic men.' Forrest, * for instance, and
Raphael Semmes, and Howell Cobb. And
had they but lived, quantrell and Wira
would have been added to the number..
Tam Cleveland (Ohio) Herald says:
a Republican meeting at Waynesburg, Ohio,
recently, the Zoarites, a communion of sep
aratists, now grown quite wealthy, and who
have always heretofore kept away from po
litical meetings, were out in force. They
came in a procession, thus testifying their
great interest in the Presidential campaig
The Zoarites have alwaysbeen loyal people,
being Quakers of very liberal ideas, and
have always freely contributed for the Re
pu‘dican cause, but this was the first po The
liti
cal meeting they ever attended."
Quakers of Pennsylvania are also to be out
`this year, it is said.
