A lilllo later camo the only stroke
of tho Clonic in all this sail tragedy.
Tho boaster id thu Convention, tliu hero
who would do and and die for his new
born love ol negro sull'rage, had not
yet been found. Arrayed in spotless
white ho had been seen to enter the
Chamber before the opening ol ilio Con
vention, but since the firing began, no
eye of negro had beep cheered, no heart
of Convention member nerved, no soul
of policemen inflamed by the radiant
sight of U. King Culler. The last
member had been driven out by the mob
and tho last negro stabbed; the Chamber
was occupied only by tho police, U'f
oilier rioters and tho dead- but still the
hero was missing. At last a bright
thought struck a policeman, lie explor
ed tliu chimney. Its throat was narrow,
und King Cutler's body was large, and
80, instead ot being quilo swallowed up,
there ho stuck! In a moment a non
descript figure oimo up the street, be
tween policemen and rioters, all so amus
ed that for tho moment, they lost their
nppctito ' for uuirdor. Iljpublieuii or
not, King Cutler was black. His while
hat, jammed down over his blackened
uosu and ears, like a half painted ship,
was already colored, lore and alt. His
whit coat hung down till black behind.
His epaiklitig shirt trout presented a
fitting stripo to correspond. Tho waist

', . Tho Convention had boon thoroughly
broken up an hour ago it that were the
object of Mr. John T. 'Monroe and his
rebel soldior policemen. Tho negro'
procession had been Bcalterod, its leaders
killed, and dozens of innocent negroes
struck by tho same hapless fato, if thai
were their object. But still tho author
ities and the citizens continued tho riot.
' An Innocent negro carrying a roll of

To thu amazement, id all every shot mis.--eil

citizen -lot the expression be set down
lorevel' to his honor with thoso who
knew him "ii I'd had a pistol I'd have
killed the iiii-wciiiit'polieciiion."
Carts were constantly passing, laden
wd'.li tho bodies of murdered negroes.
In one 1 counted six; many had two
and three. All were greeted with laugh
ter i occasionally one evoked a cheer.
Now and then a euriiago parsed with
some wounded white man, and not un--frequently
the crowd i would make a nish
upon him to fee if ho were one ot the
obnoxious radicals.
.Meantime, tho lighting negroes, re
treating below Canal street, into thu
I'Yench quarter of thu city, had once or
twicu reorganized, and made charge on
the polico. in the hope ol rescuing some
ol their lriciids i r avenging their death.
In tho course oft ho ufei noon ebetwen
twenty mid thirty policemen were Urns
wounded. The number on tho other
side can only be given by conjecture.
Wherever a negro, either entirely peace
able or by accident cut oil' from bis com
rades, was found, liu was pursued, and
il possible shut.
One loll thus near the noted millenery
shop of 51 id.imu Sophie, a low doors
below Jileioek's bookstore. A gentle
man so fur as clothes go, and general
demeanor stepped out from the sule
wa'k, and devoted a minute or two to
vigorously kicking the dead body. A
bystander made .some expression of hor
ror and disgust, when a policeman turn
ed sharp on him with, "Aro you one ot
them, say?" llo protested that he was
not. 1 1 1; lies," exclaimed another, "he's

Tun Richmond Uxamicr, in com
menting upon tho hisses and groans

Kentucky for Giiant and Siihiiman, says:
"Not only in Kentucky, but through
out tho Union and the world, Grant
and Sherman will declino in estimation,
whilo President Johnson and General
Loo will bo recognized in all their purity,
goodness, and greatness."
There is no mystery in the fact that
the rebels now associate tho namo of
President Johnson with that of General
Lk.k. Tho President, by his oorduct,
shows he has repented of the part ho
took in pulling down tho rebellion, and
is willing to do all ho can, under thu
circumstances, to undo tho best acta of
his life.- PUtt, Gazette,

who are Tin-: SkvoTutkwts?
We would not wish to bo called an
a!armist,nr ihL. creator of any novel imag
ination, but since the question is being
agitated, the idea of a revolution noon
mooted, it is not impolitic to examino
and study for ourselves what may bo tho
nature of such a movement and who aro
to ho the prime agents.
Who are they that talk loudest,'
threaten most ;lnt hear the low mut-
leniigH in me coming storm in every
breath that comes from a 1! idical ! It h
nono other than .the fo called Dem icr'at
to party. Thu times are parallel wilh
those of '(SI and 'CI. They predicted
tliowarihoulh.it was soon to shake tho
ontinent, but all tho time threw their
energies into tlio balance of power that
was to usurp the nationality. They on
ly precipitated tli'j crisis ami it was their
object. It i not "passing strange" they
should do so again. Wo aru forced to
acknowledge the situation fully as start
ling at tho present tiinn. Tho terrible
fact is forced upon us that, to com
pass their treasonable ends, law is to be
disregarded, the rights of men and slates
to be overruled and every element ( I
revolution invoked to their aid. These
iivfu:tx, profoundly sad, but made in e
sistably true by tho complicity of thoso
same elements which before so nearly
wrought the ruin ot our country.
Wu may add that tho eontost has vir
tually begun, that llm clarion notes ot
war are sounded, and they can a'rendy
omhht.on on their triumphant banners
(he victories of Memphis and Now Or
leans. Would it be g dug too tar to say
that treason is now moi-o powerful than
in iho pa'iuiest days ot tho Confederacy ?
We thii k not.
Tho cauldron is bubbling over spito ot
tho more cautious endeavors of those
who would smother tho hidden fires of
hatred. The South makes tho slgnifi.
cant boast that the final struggle between
tho Union and Conservative party of tlio
country wilt be commenced about the 4th
of March 18UQ it a crisis is not sooner
hastened, and "then uiglit hundred thous
and Southern votes, or btiyvicts thrown
into the conservative seale, will dueido it."
Southern journals discourage the emigru'
tion ot thoir young men to work off their
"surplus oourage" in tho wars of Europe
and Mexico. They oall upon them to
"bide their time, it is a duty thoy owe
to their causo that it requires no pro
photic vision to dijecrn a mighty up
heaval of tho fonnd.tions of government
soon to take place." Why is it wo hear
such proclamations tuado, these guttural,
mites of warning Irjm such sources!
The conclusion is not hasty, that it;
proves a second rebellion . being organ
ized I This tiuio with tlio PnM'iit of
the Vnitel SUtui as Conimander-in-Cheifl
What ii to bo done? Let the
people answer At once. Let them gath
er in every city, village and community,
and unito in sending up to tho Capitol n
voice of protest and warning that shall
make the guilty hesitate and tremble.
Let loyal men couio together at once for
consultation and organized preparations
for the worst. Let tho fires which ac
tuated us in the last crusade for freedom
burn anew in each heart. Thus the
country may bo protected from impen
ding danger; without it other victims
will be sacrificed, other s' roots flow with
blood, until (he fearful scenes just en
acted in tho Crescent City, shall be re
alized all-over the land.
Are we in earnest ( We are terribly
in earnest' I Wuspeik words ot warn
ing, conli lent that (he fatiuo w.ll moro
than sustain them,
"OXCIJ MOKh'toTUE ItRK.VCIl."
As tho days ot October approach it,
becomes us that we stir ourselves "like
men." It is not to bo. disguised that we
have a stubborn foe to resist, and that
conscious of victory, we are getting re
lax in our exertions. Tins should not
be. On the contrary, work with increased
; energy und make the discomfiture of our
enemies this Kali so overwhelming that
it will leave them no doubt as to the
helplessness of their cause.
The coining Friday and Saturday aio
the days selected tor the gathering of
our friends in Jackson and Centre tps.
We would impress upon nil tile necessi

Tin: Pittsburg Civile says; Fears
.have been entertained that effirts would

j violence inflicted on tho L uiislana Con
stitution i! Convention. We understand
thai precautionary measures have been
concerted by thu Stale and city author
ities to m lintnin order an 1 einureper
soal security. This is well. Not on'y
high comidoralious of duty require this,
but tliu lower considerations of expe
diency. I!y all means lot thu President
and his supporters have a monopoly of
brutality and bloodshed. Loyal men
ought not, and mint not, sully their fanio
and d tni igi their cause by resorting to
violence.
General Chalmers, u notorious light
ing rebel, whoso h inds aro yet rod with
tho blood of tho slauglitore 1 patriots of
Ft Pillow, is ono of thu delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention from Tennes
see. He made a sp.Hieh recently, from
which the following is an extract: "It
was not tor S mthorii aggrandisement
that the S ur.il entered into the late
revolution, it was not an effort ot her
politicians, it was not tliu work of him
wdio to-day is pining in prison at Fort,
ress Monroe. Ho was not ashamed to
say that ho lrved him then, and was
bold to say that ho loyed him now.
Loud cheers. He is tho greatest of
hvinir statesmen. Few have ever been
his equals. Cheers Wo are, perhaps,
now in the midst ot another revolution,
and it becomes every ono to stand with
his armor on. Republican institutions
aro now trembling in the balance. There
aro two grand opposing ideas which
brought on the late war individualism
and centralization. Wo of tho South
struck for individual liberty, but central
iss'tlion overwhelmed us, and endangers
the liberty ot the whole country. Our
question wont into tho court of war, aud
was argued and decided against us, and
wo have submitted hko good citizens,
Wo havo sulmiittod to a Govoruor not
of our own ohoico, boon insulted by our
