THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.
It is gratifying to notice Hat some of the
'•mall, but influential ctos of SfJnthern jour
nals that opposed so streMbosly the Phi! a-
delphia Convention, are now accepting the
position presented by Qjf v address and reso
lutions, asjthe best possible thing tbe South
can do ini existing citrnmsuncca. . White
objecting, as we do, to some of tbe princi
ples and abstract assertions which appear in
the platform, they nevertheless declare their
appreciation of the patriotic purposes of the
as tbe only efficient ■■deans of restoring the
Union. ’ - • -
The Atlanta New Bra, haying dmcovered
tEp •folly of a third pajty in the
South—which would strengthen the Radicals
and endanger the defeat of the President’s
policy of restoration, has determined to fore
go for the present its objections to the Phila
delphia platform, and in a spirit of frank
manliness snxtaai the only movement that
can save the South from the most imminent
peril. Already the criticisms which have ap
peared in Southern papers on the doings of tho
Convention lave been nfajini|e<T |/.]tadical
journals and oratofs lata a disapproval of the
whole plan and purpose of the Conservative
parly, and heralded as the views of a united
South. To refute this mischievous misrep
resentation, we sincerely hope the remaining

SHIPMENT OP COTTON.
That our readers may be fully advised of
the requirements of the late law of Congress
imposing a tax on cotton, we surrender a
large portion of our space to-day to the pub
lication of tbe regulations made thereunder,
by the Treasury Department, concerning the
weighing of cotton, the assessment and col
lection of the lax, and the removal of the sta
ple under bond.' The information thus pre
sented,is of the highest importance to all in
terested in the production and sale of cotton;
and we would call special attention to the
fact, that it will be unlawful from and after
the first day of September, 1866, for any
agent of transportation to receive for ship
ment, any cotton unaccompanied by a per
mit from the Collector or Assessor of the dis
trict from which it is shipped; and such cer
tificate must be furnished to the Collector
of the district to which the cotton is
transported, and his permit obtained before
the delivery of the cotton. Any person vio
lating this provision will be liable to a penal
ty of one hundred dollars for each bale so
shipped, or to imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both. And all' vehicles
likewise employed in such conveyance, will
be liable to seizure and forfeiture by proceed
ings in any Court of the United States. It
will be seen that the law is very stringent,
and to avoid incurring its penalties, the
public should be well acquainted with its
provisions.
GENERALS LEE AND JOHNSTON.
The Richmond Dispatch, commenting upon
the opposition of Southern men to the Pliila.
delphia Convention platform, says that it
meets tbe approval and will receive the cor
dial support of Generals Robert E- Lee and
Joseph E. Johnston, together with many
other men who bravely defended their coun-
try, and proved their faith by periling their
lives in a hundred battles. But, then, says
tbe same paper, these are very unimportant
persons, very “small potatoes,’’compared
with the high mettled editors, whose indig
nant virtues prompt to the duty of repudia
tion of the platform.
Tm Wokkingmen’s Convention.—In the
Workingmen’s Convention, now iu session in
Baltimore, a resolution was offered constitu
ting the delegation from tbe District of Co
lumbia a committee to wait on the President
of the United States and request him to re
commend in his annual message to Congress
the adoption of the eight hour system iu all
the employment of labor by the United
States.
A resolution was also adopted requesting
the Congress to use its influence with the
Legislatures ot tbe several States to pass a
law to prohibit the owners of pro|>erty from
charging a greater rent than fifteen per cent,
on the capital invested for property. ■
The Fall Elections.—The first of tin
fall elections will come off ic Vermont on
the first Tuesday in September, aud iu Cali
ioraia on the first Thursday,.and in Maine on enormous,
tbe second Thursday Of the same month.
Then follows Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iu
diana on the second Tuesday in October.
Massachusetts, ’Michigan, New Y or k, New
Jersey and Illinois vote on the first Tuesday
in November; Maryland on the first Wedues
day; Wisconsin on the first Thursday, aud
Delaware, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas on
the second Tuesday of the same month.
PsffifaNT to Gen. R. E. Lee.—A 8|
•addle was recently forwarded from Nhw-
Orleans to Gen. R. E. Lee, as a present from
the Hon. Mr. Connelly, M. P., who was a
frequent visitor of the General’s dnring the
wnr. The saddle is of the English Horse
Guard pattern, with holsters, valise, pockets
for writing materials, and a splendid shabrack
«f astracau wool, bound with red cloth. Tbe
bridle and breast strap are specimens of ad
mirable workmanship, the whole forming a
useful nnd worthy present.

General Howard's Successor as Chief

to General Tillaoo, Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmen’s Bureau for tbe State of
Georgia, now temporarily sojourning at Saco,
Maine, instructing him not to return South,

THE CHOLERA—EXAGGERATED RU
MORS.
A gentleman wbo has just returned from
a jauut through tbe Southern counties
of this State and a portion of Florida,' in
forms us that he was frequently overtaken,
and sometimes shocked by the most exagge
rated rumors as to the prevalence of cholera
in this city, aud, of cotiise, they had the ef
fect to create an amount of apprelieusiou
iu the minds of the people to cut off almost
entirely the usual business intercourse wilb
the city. Our columns and those of our cotem
poraries have contained accurate aud per
fectly candid representations on the subject
of cholera. There has been and will be no
unworthy attempt to conceal or dis
guise the truth. The cuminal atteppt to
do so would be as sternly ' reprobated
here as by the country people them
selves. Thus far there is not the slight
est foundation the exaggerated rumors
ot which we have been advised, aud no suf
ficient reason why our country friends should
shun this city. There have been a few cases
of cholera iu our midst, but it has not pre
vailed as an epidemic, and we nrc now more
assured than ever that it will not. Every
means of precaution and prevention has been
adopted, and with the most gratifying suc
cess. The disease reached its climax of
nineteen cases during the week ending the
22d iustant,'which was no doubt owing to
the effect of the damp and hot weather which
then prevailed, for as soon as a change ap
peared, and comparatively cool, bright sunny
days returned to us, the number of cholera
cases at once decreased, and it has since
been confined almost exclusively; and in a
modified form, to certain localities beyond
the corporate limits of the city inhabited by
negioes. We repent Unit mere 19 no present
or prospective danger of its becoming an epi -
demic, nor does it any longer .excite appre
hension on tbe part of even the most timid.
The New Orleans Riot.—The official cor
respondcnce. it is stated, in regard to the late
riot at New- Orlefna Will be ready for the
press in a few days. Among other important
papers the collection of this correspondence
has brought to light a dispatch from Gen

There is no record of any reply having been
sent to the dispatch, nor was it ever laid l>e-
fore the President until since the disturbance.
The whole correspondence will be given to
the public very soon.
grain Crops xr the WksT.—From various
quarters we receive promising reports ol the

THE LABOR CON VENT ION COMMITTEE

Washington, Aug. 25—The Committee appointed by
the Labor Convention ill Baltimore, waited on the
President to-day. Mr. iliiichtifie, the spokesman of
tbe Convention, disclaimed connection with any parly
in a political sense, or tbat the movement wss for pn_
litical power. Ho urged that eight hours per day labor
should be legalized, tbat public lauds should be dis
tributed so as to be reached by laborers instead of
capitalists, and tbat working men be protected against
convict labor. He asked tbe President's assistance to
aceomplish these measures for tbe workiBg men.
Iu reply, the President said he was opposed to tbe
present system of convict labor, on account of its un
just discriminations and degrading influences. He
desired to see labor elevated, and snrh always bad
been i«s position. His whole history showed be w
against a monopoly of tbe public lands. He wss for
shortening the hours of labor to the least number con
sistent with tbe interests of ail the laboring men, and
they could rely upon his influence when it could be
given in their behalf. They had his sympathy and

The Colored RapitlstConvention—A White
Minister Introduces Unlit I es and is Hr-
bulled - Replies to the Speech.- ’
Up to Wednesday hist the proceedings of
the Colored Baptist Convention were uuin
terrupled by tbe introduction of anything of
a sectional, secular or political nature. Nor
would it then have occurred, we believe, bad
it not been for tbe appearauce npou tbe stage
ot oue Reverend Florence McCarthy, a while
man, who took occasion to throw a political
bombshell in Ebeui-zer Church, which, how
ever, failed signally in its iutended effect.
It has been a custom in the Convention to
invite while vioitoro to opcult, nnd on Wed
nesday Mr. McCarthy was introduced by the
{Secretary as “Ihe only loyal minister south ol
the Potomac,” which, we understand, is the
sigualure he has been in the habit of using
in his slanderous letters to the Northern
press, lie al ouce arose, anti commenced

After McCarthy had linished his tirade, the
Agfolcf ic'bf the Convention (domed struck
into ubiiidment. Many of tnew appeared
pleased, but there was no demonstration of
applanse, and in fact no one seemed disposed
to bock him up in his sentiments.
The Rev. Dr. Jeter of this city, being in
attendance, made a brief reply. He said
jBittt he considered himself as good a friend
to the colored race as the gentleman who
had just taken his seat; that in the course of
his ministrations he had baptised one
thousand colored persons, aud one of the
leading purposes of his life had been to at
tend to their religious training. He regret
ted Unit any political subject had been intro
duced here, for its effect could not be other
wise than pernicious, and he trusted that no
member of the Convention would be led away
by remarks such , 8 they had just heard.
Considerable applause followed Dr. Jeter’s
little speech, and 1 the President remarked
tbat ntf member of the Convention had yet
brought forward a political sentiment; that it
was then done by awhito man, who was the first
to break the rule laid down by the Conven
tion at the outset.
The Rev. A. E. Dickinson, of Richmond,
then arose and exproatmtiins hearty approval
of (he remarks of Dr. Jetter. He had recent
ly visited six Baptist associations, and he

which was well received.
AfhlAlhf adjphltofitent, several colored per
sons "came up and’ offered their hearty con
gratulations . to Dr. Jeter, aud told him he
had spoken nothing but the truth.
Thu Rev. Florence McCarthy was a chap
lain in the Confederate anny, aud up to the
time of tlfa evacuation of Richmond
W(4, a secessionist in seittiuicnt. Soon
» afterwards he commenced toadying to the
i 5 fjjfortto.'tfafagb ;bq -afafa#; $J*Dlieiy here that
his object was to “make something out of
th* Yankees.” He was rewarded by an
appointment, from the Home Mission Society
of New Yojk, at fifty dollars per month, as
pastor of a church ua Oregon Hill, which he
® bolds. He baa ao^ for some lime past
i held !o much regard by tbe Baptists of
Virginia; aud at tbe meeting of the Baptist
General Association fa June fast he was ex
cluded from membership in tbeir Boards;
and if tbe foregoing speech had been made
prior to that meeting, would doubtless have
been denied membership in tbat body. His
recent writings and speeches show tbat he
has cast bis lot among the agitators, where
for tbe present we will leave him.

The last ten days have l>een full of import
ant events; the Philadelphia Convention,

ccr
make a fierce struggle against the Radicals.
The great effort will be to carry Pennsylva
nia and New York. There are indications
tbat the money kings are waking up to the
importance of peace, aud no stone v(iH be
left unturned to get them to stir them(elves.
Seward’s and Weed’s influence in New York
has hitherto been very great, and much is
counted oo-ffom that source now. Of tbe
four great papers in New York, the Herald,
the Times, the World and the Tribune, all
but the last support tbe Convention and tbe
President’s policy. This is certainly an im
portant fact.
• The President’s speech, in which he throws
out the idea that the Congress is not a legiti
mate body, gives great offence to the Radi
cals, and it is thought to intimate that the
President w-ill. refuse to consent to im
peachment from it. It" impeachment should
take place, aud the President refuse to ac
knowledge its validity, the situation will be
come dangerously complicated. Unfortu
nately, there is no arbiter to determine tbe
question. ,' j: ,
The President's peace proclamation, ex
tending the benefit of "the past proclamation
to Texas, is completing, as far as be can, the
restoralian of all the Stales to the Union.
Tbe Radicals prelend to believe tbat Texas
is in a worse condition than any other State.
This assumption is founded principally on
timstatements of Governor Hamilton and
.other sympathizers wkh the Radicals from
that Stale.
The President’s proclamation disallow
ing” the paper blockade of Matamoras, is
universally responded to. Tbe people like
lwlil measures, aud Maximilian's comedy of
“ the Empire’’ is not pleasing to the people.
Many of the President’s Iriends have been
anxious for him to take a bolder course to
wards Mexico, and there is no doubt but what
Ibis would have been dime, except for tbe
embarrassmsuts of Mr. Seward in bis past
diplomacy, while the civil war in the United
States was raging. It is thought the assu
rances he was then compelled to give Louis
Napoleon has compelled a more temperate
coarse towards Maximilian than would have
l>een pursued-
The President’s reply to the New Hamp
shire delegation, that office-holders under the
Administration would be required to support
tbe policy laid down by the Philadelphia
Convention, is thought lo mean business.
The President’s friends—many of them, al
least—regsrd thi9 as tbe most interesting in-
cideut of the last ten days. They consider
it a great outrage that the President’s ene
mies should grow, fat on ltia patronage.
They are very sharp set for a cleaning out of
their opponents and putting good Jbbuson
men in their places. We have every reason
to believe that this policy will be now entered
upon and steadily pursued. There is evi
dently a good lime coming for the supporters
of “ uay policy.’’ Reformed Republicans will
get the preference through policy.
The Radical papers publish, with immense
gusto, every indication of disapproval at the
South of the action of the Philadelphia Con
vention. Their cue is to make out that the
Southern delegates were Jjtpociitco, niulilint
the Southern peojile reputnKe the action of
their delegates. Southern papers should be
careful to give as iitlle capital as possible to
tbe Radicals.
It was gratifying lo see tlie kind feeling of
the Northern delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention to the S'nit Item delegates. Ol
all men at the South, Mr- A. II. Stephens
seems to be tbe most popular. I beard an
enthusiastic delegate from the north west say,
“our people worship Mr. Stephens.’’ Mr.
Stepbeus was certainly born under a lucky
star.
