Some, perhaps many oi the Northern States will reject it, and we cannot ex- p*-ct its legal ratification by any of the lute insurrec tionary States. If there Were no other reasons why the Southern plates will reject it, it is enough that it proposes to disfranchise nearly all the men in the South who have iutltieueo over tin* masses of the people. If none were to he disfranchised except officers of the rebel army, we still e.odd not expect the South to adopt it, * t a large majority of men in the lately insurrection ary States, through compulsion or choice, served iu the rebel armies, and their votes alone would ovor- W“t-liiimgly defeat it. Would Union soldiers, to re- '■••ver political privileges, disfranchise their leaders, whom they love and revere for their heroic virtues? how, then, can we expect Southern soldiers to dis- jrancpise and degrade their old commanders ? As there is no possibility that the amendment will be ratified by three-fourths of the States, the plan of restoration which Congress appears to have deter- mmed on is at best impracticable. Hut proposed by the President and approved by ce .Ndtuoial Convention is feasible, and, we believe, " e have no fear that the South can overthrow . tcl l , r al Government, or even disturb its career of »werand glory.

Description of the Memorial Structure— The Arrangement* for the Celebration- Preparation* for Visitor*. Oar Paris Correspondence. From our Special Correspondent. (From the Chicago Times, Aug. 21.] The time is rapidly approaching when, without doubt, the greatest gathering of peo ple that ever convened in Chicago will as semble. But little more than two weeks now remain before the arrival of "• -W •’■veil bv the President of the United States for the laying of the corner-stone of the Douglas Monument. The several committees having in charge the various arrangements for the observance of the occasion, are rapidly per fecting the plans, and, it is belived, will have completed all their arrrangements before the day of celebration. A brief description of the monument to be erected will De of interest, in view of the near approach of the laying of its corner atone. This will consist ot a circular platform base 52 feet in diameter, and 2 1-2 feet high. Upon this will be placed a similar platform, but a little smaller, which will be surmounted by a sepulchre 20 feet square and 11 feet high, with walls 5 feet iu thickness. It will con tain a chamber 10 feel square. In the cham ber will be placed the sarcophagus, contain ing the remains of the great statesman. The sarcophagus will be visible through a bronze door 6 1-2 feet lugli and 3 feet wide. The sepulchre will be ornamented with projecting pedestals from the corners. Surrounding the sepulchre will be a pedestal 21 feet in height, having a base 15 feet square. On this will PirU - be erected a column 43 feet in length, C feet square at the base, and 3 1-2 feet square at the top. The column will be terminated by a cap 6 feet high, which forms the base for the colossal statue ol Douglas. Surrounding the sepulchre will be placed four sealed symbolical figures, life-size, sculp tured iu light marble. One of lbese figures will represent Illinois holding in her hand a medallion likeness of douglae. By her side will be a sheaf of wheat and the State arms. The remaining figures will represent Ameri ca with a shield, History reclining os a tab let, and Fame with the symbolical wreath and trumpet. Over the entrance of the sep ulchre will stand an eagle, aud on the base of the pedestal above are four bas-reliefs representing the history and progress of the West. These represent Indians and hunting _*. K.,:iAinn> l.wr onkino nlnOflmr Paris Aug. 14,18G6. To the Editor or the News anseHerald : THE TREATIES OF PRAGUE AND PARIS will thortty be signed, and before a month is over Prussia will have evacuated Austrian territory, and Italy will have taken possession of Venetia. Germany will be united, and Austria, which will have had time to get over the great shock she has had to undergo, can aet about putting her house in order. The question is, will everything be eettled to the sat isfaction of the great European family? I doubt it 1 A DARK CLOUD IN THE HORIZON. The forming of a powerful Germany by the annexa tion of the minor States of Prussia is not looked upon with much pleasure by tho present dynasty. The ru mors which have been current the last few days arc. beginning to be believed by many. It is affirmed that the Emperor immediately on his return from Vichy presided at a conference, and that the question of forcing Prussia to listen to lha demands of the Tuile- ries was very seriously “debated. From all we can gather it is evident that France will not be in a posi tion to enter upon a campaign before the month of November next Others affirm that the Emperor, who is so desirous that nothing should take place to mar the success of the exhibition, will not insist upon the restitution of the Rhine frontier as it was in 1814 un til after the exhibition is over. If this be the case we may look forward to more than a twelve months quiet. The Prussians will, for the time being, remain our very good friends and neighbors. If diplomacy wishes to prove that it is not utterly worthless now-a-days it can en attendant do its utmost to arrange the question at issue without the provinces now coveted by France being sprinkled with French and German blood. However, let us for the present turn to matters which will take place two short months. I mean THE RETURN OF THE FRENCH ARMY FROM ROHE, which is to take place shortly,according to the Conven tion of September. Thus problem succeeds problem The Venetian question will hardly have been settled when the question of THE TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE will again be mooted. The famous siege of Rome took place in 1849. Thue it is now seventeen years since we took possession of the Eternal City, and re placed Pius IX on his tottering throne. From that time to this, oar Government has never coased beg ging His Holiness to listen to the prayers of his peo ple, aud grant them a constitution, but the Holy Father has constantly turtied a deaf ear to the entrea ties of France. His obstinacy was only equal to our patience. The cost of keeping an army in Rome has been twenty millions of francs annually; a pretty penny to keep a sovereign on a decayed throne against the wish of his people. The non possumies has now be come intolerable, and France will not move a step to prevent the Pope and Cardinals being swept away by the coming storm, similar to that which swept away the King of Maples, the Graud Duke of Tuscany and other petty Princes. Austria, the last stay of the Pa pacy, is no more—there is no help to expect from that quarter—Hie Vatican is condemned, and as soon as the last French Zouave has left Some the dance will begin for the Monsiynorh as there is no doubt that the people,who have been muzzled for seventeen years, will do what tho Pope would long ago have done had he listened to our advice to give the people quietly what they will now take by force. Victor Emanuel, when in possession of Rome, will have to conciliate the interests of Catholicism with those of his crown. The thing will perhaps be more facile, and he will give up the temporal power with a good grace. It is likely the world will progress as well. the voyage of the empress charlotte to europf.. Her Mexican Majesty arrived at 8t. Nazaire a few days ago, on her Mexican steamer, and immediately proceeded to Paris. What she has come about, no body exactly knows, but it is thought that her Majes ty's trip is not a pleasure one, and that she has come to ask for more money and more men. Will she get them? Chiio-sa—time will stow. Wish of the people'onrrance is mat Napoleon should get oui tho Mexican scrape as soon as possible. THE FINANCIAL PANIC is now at its height in Paris. More tlian twenty of our stock brokers are trying to And purchasers for the good will of their business. The sum lost by all of our brokers together since the beginning of tho crisis amounts to more than sixty millions. Such a state of things cannot last, and we hear that as there must be a screw looee somewhe in the machinery of the Paria Bourse, a cleaning out of the Augean stables of our money market ia imi»rative; there will, there fore, be a stagnation in speculation until the house in the Place do la Bourse has been set iu order. Several new financial speculations have just been set on foot; bat it appoars to me that le moment esl mat chaise. (as wo aay in France). Amongst others we must men tion Li SOCIETE ALGEBIENNE, which has been established in order to help onr colo nists in Algeria. It is well known that wo have never succeeded as colonists, and those well acquainted with Algeria prophecy that we are as far advanced iu that colony as we were in 1835. The whole fault lies iu our always wanting to apply our home military sys tem to our colonies, and of governing them from IUnefacthbes of Cotton.—The Newbury port ■Mdss., (jerald says: The manufacture of coarse cotton at present an unprofitable business at the North,and ** v tty likely to remain so, from the fact that the "oathern States are better adapted to that branch of cdustry. To make cotton manufacturing profitable, uh the co,t of labor, machiucry and motive power, high as they are now, there must be a wider differ- Uce between the cotton and the manufactured goods. , JP South, previous to the war, was largely eugnged a tue manfacture of coarse cottons, there being hfiedred aud fifty-nine factories in the States that rebelled : North Carolina having thirty-nine, Tennes- , thirty. South Ceroiina seventeen, and Alabama ourteen. The largest factories and best establish- . e his w-ere in Georgia. Many of these factories were utuedin the war; but they are rebuilding, and will be ““•faaed, since the operative population, both white “lack, will he increased, and it is labor they most ',*tt 8 houlduol be surprised to see the factories woo e Kort h, having machinery for coarse fabrics, “hin tMidyears taking it out to send South, where tti power is abundant, the cotton at hand, aud t labor cheaper than here, replacing the same with o‘ r machinery, which' is mere profitable, and for •uch our educated labor is better fitted. —Among tfio names of those announced to speak at the Philadelphia meeting to ratify the recent Convention is that of Governor Uhlans, of Georgia. scenes, pioneers building log cabins, plowing and felling trees; commerce is represented by a ship ana packages of goods; and the sci ences are represented by a locomotive, a rail road and a telegraph. Still another device represents education, a group of children, the State Capitol building, a church iu the distance, &c. The statute will represent the great patriot and statesman as standing by the Constitution on one side, and by the Union on the other, which is represented by the Roman fasces. The first section of the monument is about half completed, aod the tomb nearly finished. At each corner of Douglas’s grave wiil be erected a pillar about thirty feet high. These will be joined by four arches, which will be draped aud decorated with flowers. Around the bases of the pillars flags will be arranged. In front of the grave wiil be placed Volk’s marble bust of Douglas, together with a model oi the monument. The Louisiana So-called Convention.— After tho cotton and sugar raid of General Banks in the Red river country,in Louisiana, had terminated so disastrously for the army ia that section, a Congressional report was made npon it by such Radicals as B- F. Wade, Z. Chandler, George W. Julian and B. F. Loan. In that report they say: Its only results, in addition to the .dis graceful military disaster that attended it, were of a commercial and political character. The commercial transactions were conducted by those who ascended Red river, by author ity of the President's permit, as before stated, and in part by speculators, who, without any permit or other authority, so far as is shown by the evidence of the commanding general, came up on the headquarter boat of the army, bringing with them baggage and rope for Qie cotton they might secure. The po litical transactions were shown by the hold ing of elections in the camps of the army while engaged in the expedition, with the view of reorganizing a civil government in Louisiana. The attempt *o do this was clearly a usurpation on the part of the mili tary authorities, the execution of which was as weak and inefficient as the attemp was improper kndillegal. • ^ —A New Orleans correspondent says it is probable that Governor Wells will issue a proclamation soon organizing six loyal militia regiments, including three black. With the exception of the establishing of the said company, there is perfect dnlcess in the world oi speculation. This will give many who have the fever of adventure in the money market an opportunity of husbanding their resouroes, and ot preparing for the coming winter campaign. If there is little going on in tile commercial world, there is still leas going on in the world of pleasure. We have had, and atill have, a very rainy season; rain, rain, rain; drip, drip, drip, day after day. Tnoee who have fled the capital for the pleasure of tne country, will moat asauredly wish themselves back again in Paria, as accounts from Vicirv, Bajneres aud Arcachon agree iu atating that the weather ia nn- genial in the extreme this year. SAINT NAPOLEON. The 15th of this month is, aa you know, the fete day of the Emperor, and the programme ot the festivities has now been plastered on all the walla of Paris. Ttiero will be gratuitous performances at all the thea tres, between the hoars of one and three; If ay poles, wrestling and rowing matches, out of door perform- ' ances on the place du TUrcne aud at the plane of the Frivolities; in the evening, general illumination in the whole town, he., more especially in the Champa Elyaeea, where great preparations are already being made. The stranger who cornea to Paria for the first time in his life will he surprised (if he get up betimes) to see thousands standing in a line of procaeaion near the theatres, as oariy aa five in the morning, in order that they may be euro of getting a place. As soon as the doors are opened the rush begins, and it ia as much as a very large body of policemen oan do to fewest disorder. Boxes which are mad* to contain aix with discomfort are often made to hold ten, and even twelve persons. The pieces given on the 15th of Au gust to the r*>ble of Paris, it may Ve said, are gene rally of the most mediocre character, as the actors take but little pains to please an audience chosen from the dregs of the population. We have nothing of importance tp note in the theat ric il way. George Band baa just given ua one ot his productions, which was brought out a few nights ago at the raudeeille. This comedy now takes the place of the celebrated FamUle Benoiton. which has had such a wonderful run, and which has been performed more than two hundred and fifty times. George Band’s bat maybe called a failure, having bees re ceive* rather coolly. The title of the piece is. Us Dous Fuans du ViUage. The style is elegant and re. fined, and the plot of great simplicity. Comiog so immediately on the Fainille BenolKm (pr, the Fast Family), it was not likely that it could succeed, for the piece of Mons. Sadcu shone by its vulgarity and clap- trap common-place. THE LION BLONDDi, «. the hero of the Niagara, who i* still the favorite with the fickle Parisians, after haring astonished the na tives at Vincennes, has shifted the scea* of aeturn to Arnierea. The hero still goes through his perform ances so as to make the most timid witness them without a shudder, so sure-footed and full of grace is he in his movement*. It waa rumored fiat Bfeidin wa* to show off on the Place de la Concorde on the Emperor’s jete day; but aa lUp naffitf'dfes not figure in. the programme, I suppose he has not been able to borne to terms. [Special Comcpmdeace of the News anr Herald.) Letter from Baltimore. Baltimore, Aug. 23. Mt Dear Herald:—Howl miss your pleasant faces anri your news from home. I do not know what comments you made ou the Philadelphia Convention, but I am sure, with your moderate^conservative views, you could but approve it It was not all we could have desired, but who expected it to be. . The spirit of both Convention and people was admirable, 'ftie manifest pleasure with which the audience hailed every utterance which indicated a wish lo buty the past, the cordial manner in which they greeted every Southern man, known as such, was really comforting. The band opened the exercises each day with “The days of Auld Lang Syne,” and it was always received with a cheer. It did my Georgia heart good to hear the lusty cheer fur Georgia, which went up when Col. llardiman rose to make some announcements. Nor was the spirit confined lolhe Convention room. Of design,I staid at an inn, at which the drovers and farmers from the interior were accustomed to stop. Had I Deen disposed to do ao, I could not have concealed my character. The Yankees marked me too plainly for that; I talked as a Southern man with them, and talked freely. They were all Conservatives, and predicted an entire defeat for the Radicals. The Democrats, contrary to every calcula tion, evinced a patriotic determination to surrender everything but principle to get the South recognized. I mingled at the Continental, very freely, with gentlemen from other Northern Slates, particularly from New Jersey. Among them was General Runyan and ex-Congressman Sykes, who had been a colleague of Colquit, HaralsoD, Stephens, in other days; and one of them, with whom I conversed very freely, was Mr. Halsted, an intimate friend of Mr. President Lincoln’s. There was the same spirit among them all, to let by-gooes be by-gooes, and restore the Union. 1 was presented to Montgomery Blair, who in his pleasant way said to me, “1 fought you mighty .hard, bat I loved you mighty well all the time.” Whatever he waa or did, he does now a yeoman's duty. Maryland will not return a Radical, so they say. The American knashes its teeth in furious rage over the prospect. The Sun, the Transcript, and especially our faithful old friend, the Gazette, all en dorse the Convention, and are surprised that lovers of.lhe South should oppose it. There are those who would sacrifice the country to an abstraction or a sentiment. There are others, not less firm in the adhe rence lo principle, who will yield to the in exorable demands of changing litres, to take a uaw position, when the old, and perhaps the better, must needs be abandoned. II we can’t hold Moscow, we will at least bold Paria T pooole Into iato cou. peculiar character of the circumstances sur- rouuding the Convention. Let them above all, consider the peril that menaces us, and let us come to the assistance of friends, even though they do say unpleasant things. I need not say that the Radicals are dis torting, exaggerating, and lying right bravely The Orleans affair did us some harm, but it was too transparent. The poor negroes were sacrificed on the altar of the Republican party, and every body sees it. I do trust our people will give them no shadow of ground for their slanders, wrote you a year ago, and besought my fel low-citizens at home to do nothing to strengthen the Radical party. We may safely say that the riots at Memphis and New Orleans, that the assaults ou the poor mis creant, Bryant, and the killing of Col. Rip ley, and other acts of lawlessness, have done more to strengthen tbeih than a voflime of arguments. True they have bad as much lawlessness, but they can afford to be lawless —we cannot. It is rumored to-day that Gen. Howard is to-have" the Freedmen's Bureau and General Tillson to lake his place. It is a good change, if change it is. Gen. Tillagn remembers that there are two races. Gen. Howard is rather oblivious to the fact. Church affairs are not of great interest now. The Northern Methodists are, as far as their organs represent them, Radical be yond reclaim, but their organs do not repre sent them altogether. Then ia much dis cord among them. The churches of Dr BfiUoeU *»d Dr. Le Foora here, Presbyte rian, have rtmouBccd their eoeoectioo hiith the General Assembly; aud many private members of the other Presbyterian Churches are veVy uncomfortable. Business Is opening. Dry goods are rather high, aod everything looks upward that is manufactured. Wood ia low. Cotton is low. The general estimate of the crop is about 2,000,000 bales. It will not reach 1,- 700,000. I do trust our Southern' merchants will come to Baltimore this Fall. They can get as. cheap goods and or aa accommodating terms here as in new York, and it is due to our friends who f»ave been ao true, that they Iu, it>n nvoCarrPfl —Id 1862, officers were detailed to in spect the baggage of passenger* arriving at New York from foreign porta, and since that time *6,649,776 have been collected on du tiable goods found among the effects of socb passengers.

[From the Nashville Press Bad Tiisss, Aag-1*1 A stranger came lo Nashville, in the guise of a gentleman in December last, and it was cot long before he contracted a copartner ship with Mr. 8- J. Underwood, ao estimable gentleman of this city, for the purpose ot carrying on the business of. painting. No suspicions were entertained that Horace A. Ross, the polished and intelligent Member of the new firm, was a wolf in sheep's cloth ing. Time moved on, a*f) the joint business prospered. Meantime; the black-hearted scoundrel bad passed bimseff off as a single gentleman, and be aoon became a welcome visitor in the ciety of tbe ladies. Among other acquaint anceships, he formed that of a very iovely, intelligent girt. Learning that she possessed property m her own right, Mi attentions soon became pointed. 8be returned his apparent love, and when he made bouqrable proposals of marriage, she, knowing nothing of his previous history; accepted him, and they were married. Boon, however, the newly- made husband discovered Shat he bad been misinformed about tbe property of his wife She had brought him nothing. lie then grew neglectful,, aad ia May hut, hastily collected all tbe outstanding bills due to his firm, and with some $500 thus gathered to gether, he quietly slipped away from Nash ville, leaviug unpaid accounts to the amount of several buudred dollars. He has not been beard from since. ' A few days ago Mr. Underwood, who had endeavored to trace the villain, received a letter detailing bis history previous to coming to Nashville. As a boy he had resided with his father in the neighborhood-of Rochester, New York. Horace grew up to manhood ia rebellion to kind-hearted parental authority, and finally forged his father's name to notes to a considerable amount.. These the grief- stricken old man paid iu full by a sacrifice of his property , to save his criminal child from the Slate Prison. Subsequently, Horace married a very worthy young woman. Witb her he lived a short time, aud iheu robbed her of all her properly be could lay bis bands upon l basely deserting her. He next turned up in' New York City, bnt he was compelled to flee to avoid arrest. He selected Philadelphia as the sphere of bis new operations. While there he manufac tured notes to a large amount, buying them with a patent right for making paper oil cloth, and vanishing wail paper. He re paired at once to Rochester, where be com menced business, bnt waa again forced to flee lo preserve his personal liberty. He was in Buffalo but a short time before cir cumstances again made flight necessary. In company with a prostitute to Whom he had become attached, he fled to parts un known, leaviug his wife stripped of almost her last dollar. In this man's life are periods whose history is yet unknown. But enough of his charac ter is revealed to make it probable that be was busy at such times with his usual schemes of rascality. His general plan of op eratious seems to be to visit some prominent (own. Easily making acquaintances, he chooses his victims, with one forming a co partnership, with tbe other contracting mar riage, ending his work by robbing and de serting both on the first opportunity. Al ready dark revelations of the existence of several wives besides tbe fwo known, are creeping to light. He is about five feet eight inches high, dark auburn hair, very high forehead, is a little bald on the top of bis head, and he wears a moustache and goalee. lie is neat in his personal appear ance, has an oily and persuasive tongue, and an excellent address. Whoever arrests him society at large. Further information about him can be bad by addressing S. Collins, at torney at law, Rochester, N. Y., or 8. J.

Go. : My Duar Sir—Z have received this moment, yosrs oi tin- 4th inst., as President ot the Convention of the Third Congressional District, informing me of my unanimous appointment, as a delegate for the State at large, to the Philadelphia Convention, to aeaeinbls on the 14th instant I are by the newspapers that I have boen Appointed by all tbe other District Conventions to the same po sition. 1 iv*el deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon, aud tbe confidence reposed In me, slid I avail mysclt of this opportunity to express my sincere thaujis. I regret, however, that the knowledge of my appointment has come too late for me to make known in time for an alternate to supply my place, that it ia impossible for me to attend the proposed Conventiau. I should do so cheerfully, if it were compatible witb surrounding circumstauces, in which the public have no interest. The Southern Slates Laving decided to respond to the call for such a Convention, it should be with cor diality and Dill deiegatums. It is for this reason that I regret my inability to attend and that it is too late for my place to be filled. Tbe object sought to bo ac complished is so important to tbe public welfare, that every doubt of success, by tbe mode adopted, should be sacrificed to an bonesc and faithful experiment. For what true hearted patriot doss aat fast that M is incumbent upon him to do ail that ^Mean to restore the harmony of tlte Statee upon the basis of the Cun. stitutiou ? So far as the Convention shall seek to ac- complisJi this, it will have my bsrnftfmrmmth^ and I sUaJ bail its success aa among the (MB* and subii- meat achievement* of pstriotiaat nod atatesmanship. The rcstocatiou of harmony between the North and South, and of representation to the latter in Congress, is a work which must be done by the people of the former. They are the triumphant party; the Govern ment is in their hands; we are excluded from all par ticipation in its deliberations and actions; we cannot be otherwise, until they consent The issue ia for them to decide; the battle for the Union and the Con stitution must be won or lost, at the North, without any practical participation on onr put. Moral aid and comfort are all that we can rendu. Seuee, I am forcibly impreaaed with the conviction that our itroQg- eat and best policy it silent, but digtdffBd submission to the necessities ot our condition, leaving the re sponsibility entirely upon the Northern people to de termine our fate aud the future destiny of the Govern- meut When we complain, We are told that we are sore-headed and not sufficiently bumbled. When we urge our right* under the Constitution, wa are told that we have none—that wo have forfeited them.— When we make required concessions. It ia bnt the pretext for further exactions. We can neither aay nor do anything that ia not converted into a .weapon against us. Heuce, the policy of entire quiescence. 1 have thought, is best. We can sustain tbe President; we can sustain the conservative men at the North; we can stand ready to perform oar part in ths Govern- meut, whenever we shall be permitted; we can obsy the Constitution and Uwa; we can be just aud mag- nmiimoua to tbe freedmen. Beyond all this, what can we do? Iu all this, there ia morel power—the eloquence of submission to wrong and injustice— which sooner or later will roach the hearts of good men ill all lands. For Myself, I cannot bnt feat appre hension, lest tho contracting of party alliance^ at this juncture, however landabie tbe purpose, may destroy this moral power; for lo eonetitate an egdmt ele ment in such an organization, we shall ba compelled, most probably, to pay for it, in the form of conces sions of principfe and abatement of self-respect. I fear something of this sort in eannsMisn with the Philadelphia Convention. The platform promulgated by those who called it, requires a surrender of printd- ple, on our part, which, if insisted on by the Conven tion and yielded by the Heath, cannot fail «■ produce crest mischief, without, so far aa I can dieeover, any corresponding good. But if onr delegates stall be weloumedka peers; M the Oeavtalt*' tadU affianiae a party whose object shall be to restore tbs Union upon' the bit-'B of the Constitution, os it is. aod if fidelity thereto and to the laws passed in pursuance thereof shall be thuouly test of loyaUy. then immense goodwill have been accomplished.'ll IstafBUvlew that, in my opinion, the experiment la worth making. It is for this I tape, not sangntnely, bnt earnestly, in treadillag faWa teat wisa aad prsdm* conamtamay guide iu deliberations. But why speculate as to the probable frnita of the Convention? tt is dose at hand, and we shall soon know its results. It is every patriot’s prayer that they may be moat happy and be nign—the beginning of a career of peace and harmony for our distracted country.
