Chief Justice Ruffin, of North Carolina,
has written a long essay to prove that the
new Constitution of the State, adopted by
the Convention assembled under the require
ments of the President of the United States
while the State was under a Provisional
Government, is illegal and void. He de
clares that the Convention was not a legiti
mate body, and that the act of the Presi
dent in suggesting or ordering the call, as
the case may be, was an act "of despotic
usurpation." lie says that the Convention
had no right to make a Constitution, or to
alter that which we ha d and have." Brought
down to a plain point this means that the
old Constitution which existed before the
Rebellion b the only valid one ; that the
consent of the Convention of 1865 to the
abolition of slavery, and that the repudia
tion of the Rebel debt, are all void. The
consequences of such a doctrine would go as
far as to revive slavery, reaffirm the right
of Secession and revoke the repudiation of
the Rebel debt. In tact, Chief Justice
Ruffin affirms that affairs are in statu quo
ante helium. With that principle, also, will
go the ratification of the Constitutional A-
mendment abolishing slavery, because it was
"adopted by a Legislature acting under an
illegal Constitution. If Chief Justice Ruf
fin is right, everything that has been done
towards restoration since the overthrow of
the Rebellion is wrong. All the Southern
States were reconstructed according to the
President's policy, in the same way as North
Carolina. If the proceedings in that State
have been illegal, ! they have been so else
where. - Slavery is not abolished ; the right
of secession is not resigned and the Rebel
debt will have to be paid.' We should not
wonder if the doctrines Chief Justice Ruffin
would immediately become popular through
out the South. The people of that section
would willingly restore the old state of af
fairs if they could, and now that they are
told by a high judicial officer that they may
do so, they will exclaim "Oh, righteous
Judge! a Dani :l couie to judgment j ayel a
second Daniel 1" .-

The editor of the Clearfield Republican
in his issue of August 1st, copies from the
RaftsmaiCst Journal what purported to be
the form of organization of the Democratic
"Mystic Circle," and, in so doing, does not
pretend to deny the genuineness of the doc
uments, but effects to treat the "exposure"
as a mere joke ; and; then indulges in cer
tain ambiguous and pusillanimous insinua
tions of a slanderous nature, entirely foreign
to the subject matter, and beneath the dig
nity of a gentleman. Now, if the editor of
the Republican has any charge to prefer
against any one, let him do it manfully,
plainly, unequivocally, so that he can be
answered as he deserves ; or, failing to do
this, let him -publish a full and acceptable
retraction of his insiduous aspersion. The
facts in the case demand such an alterna
tive ; and the editor of the Republican must
do one or the other, or stand before the
public as a vile and malicious falsifier and
slanderer of private character. Neither si
lence nor equivocation shall avail him. A
positive charge, or a f rank retraction alone
will do. .Let him choose which "horn of
the dilemma":he please?
How rr was DoNE.We have been re
liably informed that the Clymerites, in or
der to get the signature of a one-armed sol
dier to the call for their Soldier's meeting
recently held in this borough, promised him
the office of. Sheriff for the next term.
Well, "we'll what we shall see."
An Impression prevails, to some extent,
that the Senate modified the test oath to
suit the situation of Mr. Patterson, of Ten
nessee, son-in-law to tie President SucTx is
not the fact. , The oath was distinctly insis
ted on, in all its fullness, and was taken. .
At Louisville on the 4th inst., at a dem
ocratic meeting, three hearty cheers were
given for Gen.. Lee, 'after an extravagant
euWium on that officer by one of the
peasers.
The Clymer Soldiers' Convention.
",1 Jn accordance with the published catl,
the Clymer Soldiers of Pennsylvania assem
bled in 4.he Hall of the House of Represen
tatives at Harrisburg, on Wednesday, Au
gust 1st, 1866. From the published reports
of the Convention, it would Beem that the
gathering was rathef a slim affair. The
Harrisburg Telegraph, of August 2d, in
commenting on the Convention, says :
"It is not our intention to consume any
more room than is barely necessary to ex
pose the utter and complete, if not really
ridiculous failure of the Clymerites of Penn
sylvania to make political capital at the ex
pense of the men who they' reviled "dUTTnjr.
the war and have misrepresented since they
crushed the rebellion and thus ruined the
hopes of the Democratic party of the coun
try. There were not three hundred men,
delegates to, or in attendance at, . the Con
vention. ' The procession which was formed
in marching to and from the Capital did not
contain over two hundred men and boys.
The house of Representatives will not con
tain five hundred people. At no time dur
ing the session of the Convention was that
half full so that, taking the Clymerite sol
diers from abroad, and the Copperheads of
Harrisburg, this mighty demonstration did
w.- ...n-.tiA.. in oil it. Krtca fit?. Vi 11 n il rit 1
people dia not contain, in fact, three hun
dred votes for Hicster Clymer ! We sub
mit these facts to our cotemporaries of the
State. With Berks county within two
hours' ride of Harrisburg with the Cop
perhead counties of the Cumberland Valley
just over the river with York county close
at hand only three hundred voters could be
induced to rally for Iliester Clymer in a
State Soldiers' Contention 1 Ominous !"
In giving the proceedings of the Conven
tion the Telegraph says that "a committee
was appointed to wait on Hiester Clymer
and invite him to address" that body that
he "flatly refused to go to the Capitol and
address the Convention" and that "he
assigned no reason" for his refusal to speak
to his soldiers constituents ; but, it is pre
sumed, he "shrank from sharing" the re
sponsibility of the "fizzle."
After the adjournment of the Convention,
however, the "crowd," not being satisfied
:.u at rn -. r ,i.j. :.
wuu lur. yiy inui a iciu?uai wi auuicoa 11,,
proceeded to the Balton House and calied
him out. The Telegraph refers to his
speech, thus
"Mr. Clymer began his harangue with an
illy -concealed emotion of mortification and
shame. lie wanted it distinctly understood
that he was not an object cf consideration in
this campaign he must be keep entirely
out of view he was not to be voted for it
was the party that wonderful Democrat
part (which as a Whig he once spat upon,
but which, from its comfortable local majori
ty in old mother Berks, he now adored)
that wonderful Democratic party which now
eats dirt at the feet of whipped rebels, must
now be sustained. Still, asser vera ted Ilies
ter, he was ready to take any responsibility
which would make him Governor of Penn
sylvania. : He endorsed the platform of the
party which nominated him for Governor,
and that platform adopt1? the resolutions
passed at Chicago when McClellan' was
nominated for the Presidency, wherein the
war was declared a failure, the national tax
ation and debt a fraud, and by implication,
at least, the cause of the South held up as
just and honorable. Mr. Clymer endorses
all this. He made this endorsement before
"Democratic Soldiers," and they applaud
ed him. That's enough. We can afford to
let Hiester stand on this record for the
present."
How They Love the Soldier's.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania just now
make strong professions of love for the sol
diers ; but how stood they during the re
bellion in 1864. ' They vote on the Amend
ment to the Constitution to allow soldiers
the privilege of voting while in the army,
will explain their true position, as is mani
fested by the result in the following strong
Democratic counties : '

Such is the record of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania. Scan it closely and see how
they loved the soldiers in 1864. According
to the statutes ot this State, convicted fel
ons and paupers are not allowed to vote,
and here we have the humiliating fact pre
sented that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
voted,in 1864, in favor of putting the brave
defenders of the Union on a level with con
victs and paupers. Soldiers 1 how do you
like the record ? Are you no better than
felons and paupers? Will you vote for
Hiester Clymer who used his influence, in
and out of the Senate, to thus degrade
you? Answer by your votes in October
next. ' ? '
. Senator Cowan is engaged 8rumming up
Union men to take the stump for Clymer.
It was only a short time ago that his great
anxiety was to save the Union party the
object of his special love. Having landed
in the Copperhead camp, there is no longer
any occasion for the , false pretense. - The
difference between him and some others is,
he got there before the Philadelphia Con
vention. All others in . the movement are
then and there to be made over to the new
faith. : k".

Men.
' FOBTY FEBSONS KILLED.
' .The Military Called Out.
. ; A most fearful massacre of Union men
occurred in New Orleans, on Monday, July
30th, 1866, of which we collate the follow
ing particulars from our daily exchanges :
New Orleans, July 30, 3 P. M. : The
riot is progressing with frightful results.
President Johnson telegraphed the military
to support the civil authorities. . Mayor
Monroe and his police force, sympathizing
with the rebel element,'have brokcrrup a
peaceable assemblage of loyal men, killing
and wounding a number of the Convention.
Gov." Hahn w dangerously wounded and
locked up in jail An indiscriminate mas
sacre of Union men is going on. God help
the colored people. Gen. Baird has forsa
ken them ; no troops as yet have arrived.
Gen. Sheridan is abseut, but expected to
return to-night. Two Confederate flags
have been raised and the city is in their pos
session. Gov. Wells is a prisoner in their
hands.
New Orleans, July 30, 9 P. M. : The
troops have been marched into the city,and
martial law proclaimed. Gen. Kautz has
been made Military Governor of the city.
I have just visited the State House, where
the members of the Convention and Union
men were slaughtered ; it presents a ghast
ly appearance ; the floor is literally flooded
with the blood of our best Union men.
Comparatively, quiet has been restored, but
it is regarded as the calm before the storm.
Many Union men are known to have been
murdered. Gen. Baird is responsible for
this, inasmuch as he had no troops in the
city, although warned of what has transpi
red. Gen. Sheridan's staff have behaved
most gallautly. All Union and peaceable
citizens pray for the return of Gen. Sher
idan. New Orleans, July 31. Thanks to the
military authorities, from 8 o'clock last eve
ning to this writing (4 p. m. ) the city has
been comparatively quieL Dr. JDostie is not
dead. 1 have just seen hiin ; but it is im
possible for him to live twenty-four hours.
He is riddled with bullets, and pierced
through tbe side with a sword-cane. Gov.
Hahn, the Hon. John IIenderson,Dr. Hare,
the lion. S. S. Fish, the Hon. George
llaares, the Rev. Mr. Hanson, Hon. Alfred
Shaw, Mr. Enhurst, Capt John Burk and
others were dangerously wounded. When
Gov. Hahn was taken to the Station house,
he Wi'S covered with blood. These men
were shot while in the hands of the police.
Capt. Loup, 1st New Orleans Infantry, was
brutally murdered- by a policeman while
standing inoffensively on the corner.of the
street. There was a preconcerted plan to
massacre all Union men. The fire bells gave
a signal, and the firemen, armed with knives
and pistols, rushed through the streets to a
general rendezvous, and commenced an in
discriminate slaughter of colored men. I
cannot ascertain the name of a single po
liceman killed. Ma3'or Munroe boasts that
the President will restore him, and replace
civil law within 12 hours. If he does, God
help Union men.
Alfred Shaw and Judge Warmuth were
yesterday notified by Col. Boyd, manager of
the St. Charles Hotel, that they would have
to leave his house instantly, as he could not
board Black Republicans.
The following telegraphic correspondence
explains itself:
War Department, July 21, 1866. To
His Excellency, Gov. Wells: I have been
advised that you have issued a proclamation
convening the Convention elected in 1864.
Please inform me under and by what au
thority this convention can assume to rep
resent the whole people ot the State of Lou
isiana. Andrew Johnson. :
The Governor's reply is as follows :
State of Louisiana, Executive De
partment, New Orleans, July 28,1866.
To His Excellency, Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States : Your telegram
is received. I have not issued any order
convening the. convention of 1864. The
Convention was reconvened by the president
of that, body, by virtue of a resolution au
thorizing him to do so, and in that event for
him to call on the proper officers of the State
to issue writs of election for delegates in un
represented parishes. My proclamation was
issued in response to that call. As soon as
vacancies can . be ascertained, they will be
filled, and then the whole State will be rep
resented in the convention.
J. Madison Wells, Governor.
The telegram of the President to Attor
ney General Herron is regarded as a virtual
overthrow of the Constitution of the State,
superceding the Governor, who, by Article
59 of the Constitution, is charged with see
ing . the laws executed. The rebel Geiu
Herron is therefore military dictator, and,
by President Johnson's order the troops are
placed at his disposition. Union men are
preparing to leave the State en masse, un
der the impression that the Government will
not protect thffm. Gen. Sheridan has re
turned, and will sustain martial law until af
ter a thorough examination is made by the'
commission, unless, as is feared, the City
Government is given back to the rebel mur
derers of our Union men by the President's
orders..
Mayor Munroe's letter of the 25th ult.,
to Gen. Baird, in reference to the Conven
tion, is published. He says it is his inten
tion to disperse this unlawful assembly.
Gen. Baird replies in a lengthy letter, and
says :
"I cannot understand how the Mayor of
a city can undertake to decide so important
and delicate a question as the legal authori
ty upon which a Convention claiming to rep
resent the people of an entire State bases
its action." . ,
i Gov. Wells has applied for military pro
tection, his life having been threatened, . .
New Orleans, Wednesday, August 1, 6
P. M. Thanks to martial law and the pres
ence of troops, the city is comparatively
quiet 'The Rebel Press, afraid, of the con
sequences of,4;he. riot, are attempting to
shift the -blame on the negroes, when it is
well known the police, . the fire department,
and things generally were organized for the
purpose of massacreing-the members efthe
Convention and other Union men. . .
The Times, a notorious rebel sheet, says :
"To see negroes mutilated and literally bea
teu to death as they sought to escape was
one of the most horrible pictures it has ey
er been our ill-fortune to witness." A mil
itary commission, ot which the gallant Ma
jor General J. A. Mower ia President, has
been organized to investigate and report up
on all tacts connected with the not.
Gen. Baird teleirraDhed to Washington,
from New Orleans. "The riot has been sup
pressed. I have declared martial law in the
city. About 40 persons have been killed,
and a large number wounded, nearly all be
ing friendly to tlie Convention." The
wounded number about one hundred and
sixty. .
New Orleans, July SI, 1866. To II.
D. Ogden, Chairman Democratic Central
Committee: ' Dear Sir-: After the scenes
of yesterday, which I witnessed, I must re-
snectultly decline acting as a member ot the
delegation appointed by your commit
tee to attend the Philadelphia Convention.
I believe the fate of the State to be settled
by yesterday's action, and any attempt to
help matters just now would,in my opinion,
be useless. Yours, , J. Herron.
John Ray, John E. King and other dele
gates decline going.

History of the Trouble.
To the majority of our citizens, who it is
to be presumed, pay but little attention to
the politics of the State of Louisiana, the
recent riots in the city ot New Orleans
seems inexplicable, further than that they
are indexes which show a disturbed state of
public feeling. Passion must have had
much to do with those melancholy events,
but there are mixed up with them political
considerations which render the subject of
the contest one-of "considerable importance.
The riot took place among the opponents
and the advocates of the re-assembling of
the State Convention of 1864. That body
was originally convened under the auspices
of General Banks, and it was composed of
loyal men, elected by white voters from the
few districts in the State, in the neighbor
hood of the Mississippi river, which were
under - Federal control. The Convention
assembled, deliberated and formed a State
Constitution, under which there was an
election for Governor which resulted in the
choice of Michael Hahn. The latter was
afterwards elected a Senator to represent
Louisiana in the United States Congress,
and he resigned his Gubernatorial office in
the anticipation that he would be admitted
to his seat, in which idea events proved
that he was mistaken. He was succeeded
in the Governorship by J. Madison Wells,
who still holds that office. The Conven
tion, although loyal, was quite liberal to the
Rebels who were at that time in the South
ern army. It made no provision which
would disfranchise the blacks. The couse
quence has been that since the close of the
war the paroled soldiers who were in the
Rebel armies have returned to Louisiana,
and are disposed to assert that they are as
good citizens as thfty ever were. Although
the Constitution was made in their absence
they all uphold it, and are, in defense of the
instrument, strictly "conservative." When
the Convention had concluded its labors it
did not adjourn sine die. A resolution was
passed to the effect that it might be called
together by requisition from the President.
The latter power had not been attempted to
be exercised until now. It is obvious that
the men who originally held the Convention
find that they made a mistake. They should
have settled all the terms upon which the
absent Secessionists could be admitted to
their forfeited rights of citizenship while
they had authority to do so. The attempt
to call the Convention together now is, of
course, calculated to arouse a bitter opposi
tion and the result is shown in the late dis
orders. Previous to the meeting, a Judge,
acting under the authority of the Constitu
tion of 1864, and professing to be obedient
to it, charged the members of the Grand
Jury of New Orleans, pointedly upon their
duty to prevent "unlawful assemblies," in
ferring that the Convention would be such,
and certainly intending to prejudice men's
minds against it. There may be great doubt
whether a sovereign convention of the peo
ple of a State, which it is universally agreed
had authority to act, could, upon reassem
bling, by virtue of a power asserted when
it was in session, be correctly called "an un
lawful assembly." There may be great ob
jections to a convention constituting itself a
permanent oody, but they may be tested, it
necessary, by law. A sovereign convention
can certainly adjourn to meet again or to be
assembled together when called by the pre
siding officers. There is an objection in this
case that the President of the Convention
did not call it together. The act was done
by a member who was elected President
pro tern, at a caucus of the members. His
right to issue the call might be contested,
but a new trouble arises in consideration of
the question, in consequence of the recogni
tion of Governor Wells of the summons, and
the issuing of writs to fill up vacancies by
election. If the Convention assembles, it
seems difficult to say what it may legally do.
It had framed a Constitution which was
submitted to the people and ratified, in
which was a provision usual in many State
Constitutions, to the effect, that proposed
amendments to the instrument should be
agreed to by the Legislature and submitted
to a vote of the people, when, if ratified, it
would become a part of the Constitution,
Itis claimed by the opponentsof the Conven
tion that hereby it has parted with all its
power. On the other hand, the members
of that body assume that they represent the
people iu meir sovereign capacity, and have
full right not only to amend the Constitu
tion altogether, but to set it aside. It is
said further, that this , Convention will at
tempt to ratify the Reconstruction amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, a matter only to be done by State
Legislatures. , The controversy, therefore,
involves some very interesting and import
ant questions, and the outbreak consequent
upon the reassembling of the body adds to
the profound impression which must be
produced upon many minds, by the extra
ordinary circumstances connected. . with the
affair. '. .... . -, .
On Saturday last, the Republican Con
gressional Conference was still in session at
Meadville, with no more prospect of agree
ing on a candidate than when they first met,
ten days before. . .

' Soldiers'' Conventions.
A Soldiers' Convention, in support of the
Union, is a natural, respectable and pleasing
thing. But a Soldiers' Convention, in be
half of the party that denounced soldiers as
hirelings, marauders and murderers, deserves
to be ranked among psychological curiosi
ties. When the call for the Convention
was issued, it struct us as such an insult to
the brave men whom the Copperhead press
had habitually libelled, that we compared
the list of names appended to it with the
Adjutant General's Report, ancLwith some
other documents. The result of the com
parison was not particularly complimentary
to those who resigned their commissions
and gave up soldering in the first year of
the war.- That those who shrank from field
service, and sickened at the smell of gun
powder, should "sit - lightly , with .General
Geary, and feel their hearts warming to
wards the pacific Mr. Clymer, is not sur
prising. Their taste for war was more than
satisfied when they sniffed the battle from
afar. - i - . f,
That some good soldiers and honest men
may be deluded into this movement is not
at all unlikely. And it is easy to discover
how fondness for conspicuity and distant
hopes of office may lead some to go into it.
But after all, if they were true to the service
of the country as soldiers, their present po
sition, where they are sure to have all the
bounty-jumpers, stragglers and deserters for
their comrades, is not the one that they
should occupy. Every good soldier will
blush to see them in it. If they were mere
ly mercenaries, and served for their pay,
that alters the case. ltts. Com.

for the friendly expressions and persona regard
that your letter contains, signed as it is by Re

overcomes every natural objection I may have for
political honors, consequently I do accept of your

with the understanding that I am not to be the
standard-bearer of either political party (Repub

justice to them, composed as they are of all shades
of political opinions, I must continue to live in
their esteem, and labor to premote their happi
