Trouble Between tbe United States and
tbe Turkish Government—Outrage on
a United States Consul^Ot»r minister nt
Constantinople Sends Ihr jin Ijpon-clfcd.
The Levant Herald states that I difficulty has arisen
between the Porte and the American Legation on a mat
ter of some interest. - Some time ago the American
Consul—a Mr. Luigi Palma de Cesnola—at Larnaca,
Cyprus, took into his service a Mussulman "native
named Mustapha. Shortly alter, the mudir of the,
town claimed the man as a drawn conscript stocking to
evade military service, and on the (lAsul refusing to
give him up ordered a party of mpBehs to enter the
house of the American consular. dragoman—a certain
Costand Cebeas—and carry off the man.*-^Thereupon
the Consul addressed a formal complaint fo the gov
ernor of the island, demanding the punishment of
the mudir, and an ample apology for the alleged out
rage on his own consular dignity. On enquiry into
the facts, however, the Pacha considered the muuir to
be in the right, and therefore refused the consular
demand. Mr. Palina de Cesnola accordingly “sus
pended relations,” and referred ithif matter to the
Honorable E. Joy Moms, the America* Minister in
the capital. The latter gentleman, accepting his su
bordinate’s version of the facts, had addressed an en-

cedes it; the Government at Washington is called to
interfere in one and another difficulty, aud this will
be done inaptly, aud sometimes with greitf* injustice,
for our Government, wisely adapted to its own proper
functions, is utterly devoid of those liaoits and une
quipped with the instruments which fit a centralized
Government to exercise authority In remote States
over local affairs. Every attempt to perform such du
ties has resulted in mistakes which have excited the
nation. But whatevar imprudence there may bo in
the method, thereat criticism should bo agaiust the
requisition of such duties of the General Govern
ment.
The Federal Government is unfit to exercise minor
police and local government, and will inevitably
bluuder when it attempts it. To keep a half score of
States under Federal authority, but without national
ties and responsibilities; to oblige the central author
ity to govern half the territory of the Union by Fed
eral civil officers and by the army, is a policy not only
uncongenial to omr ideas and principles, but pre-emi-
uenily dangerous to the spirit ol our Government.
However humane the ends sought aud the motives, it
is in fact a course of instruction, preparing our Gov
ernment to be despotic, and familiarizing the people
to a stretch of authority which can never be other
than dangerous to liberty.
I am aware that good men| are withheld from ad
vocating the prompt and successive admission of tbe
exiled states by the fear, chiefly, of its effect upon
parties, aud upon the treedmen.
It is said that »f admitted to Congress, the Southern
Senators and Representatives will coalesce with North
ern Democrats, and rule the country. Is this nation,
then, to remain dismembered to serve the ends of
parties ? Have we learntd no wisdom by the history
of the last ten years, in which just this course of sac
rificing the nation to the exigencies of parties plunged
•us into rebellion and \yur>
Even admit thai the power would pass into the
hands of a party made up of Southern men, and the
hitherto dishonored and misled Democracy of the
North, that power could not be used just as they
pleased. The war has changed, not alone institutions,
but ideas. The whole country has advanced. Pub
lic sentiment is exalted far beyond what it has been
at any former period. A new party would, like a
river, be obliged to seek out its channels in the al
ready existiug slopes and tortus of the continent
We have entered a new era of liberty. The style of
thought is freer aud more noble. The young men of
our times are regenerated. The great army has been
a school, and hundreds of thousands of men are gone
home to preach a truer and nobler view of human
rights. Ail the industrial interests of society are
moving with increasing wisdom toward intelligence
and liberty. Everywhere, in churches, in literature,
in natural sciences, in physical industries, in social
questions, as well as in politics, the nation feels that
the winter is over, and a g 5 w spring hangs in the
horizon, and works through all the elements. In this
happily changed and advanced condition-wf things, no
party of the retrograde can, matnti&i. ifenlf. Every
thing marches, and partidB nilslin;mm.
I hear with wonder aud shame and scorn the fear of
a few that the South, once more in adjustment with
the Federal Government, will rule this qStion. The
North is rich, never so rich; the South is poor, never
before so poor. The population of the North is nearly
double that of the South. The industry oi the North,
in diversity, in forwardness and productiveness, in all
the machinery and education required for manufac
turing, is half a century is- advauce of the South.
Chu^phftsiriHbCjMp'tk rir<Wujfevery hill, aud schools
swarm in'everyrietglibolKbod? while the South has
but scattered lights at long distances, like lighthouses
twinkling along the edge of a continent of darkness.
In the presence of such a contrast ho# mean and cra
ven is the fear that the South will rule, the policy of
the laud! That it will have an iuilucifc*£that it will
contribute, in time, most important fnnnetfces or re
straints, we are glad to believe. But if it rises at once
to the control of the Government, it will be because
the North, demoralized by prosperity, and besotted by
groveling interests, tfefu.-esAo fiistliargc share of
political duty. In such a case the South not only will
control the Government, but it ought to doit.
2. It is feared, with more reason, that the restora
tion of the South to her full independence will be det
rimental to the freedmen. The sooner we dismiss
from our miuds the idea that the Jflgodff en can be
classified, aud separated from-the white population,
and nursed aud defended by themselves, the better it
will be for them and us. The negro is part and]par
cel of Sonthern society. He cannot be prosperous
while it is unprospered. Its evils will rebound upon
him. Its happiness and rcinvigoratipu cannot be
teptfromhia parttcipatiop^\l|ic reBtftraHon of tbe
ffeulk to kmieable relating kith.Ilk ^Pofltb, the re
organization or its industry, the rcTnspiralion of its
enterprise and thrift will all redound to the freed-
inen*8 benefit. Nothing is so dangerous the freed
men as an unsettled state of society iu the South.
Ou him comes all the spite, aud auger, and caprice,
and revenge. He will be made tho scapegoat of law
less and heartless men. Unless we turn the Govern
ment iuto a vast military machine, there cannot be
armies enough to protect the freed tuen while Southern
society remains insurrectionary. If Southern society
is calmed, settled, and occupied and soothed with new
hopes and prosperous industries, no armies will be
needed. Riots will subside, lawless hangers-on wiil
be driven off or better governed, and a way will be
gradually opened up to the freedmen, through educa
tion and industry, to full citizenship, with aU4ts hon
ors and duties.
Civilization is a growth. None can escape that forty
years in the wilderness who travel from the Egypt of
ignorance to the promised land of civilization. The
freedmen must take their march. I have lull faith in
the results. If they have the stamina to^uudergo the
hardships which every uncivilized people has under
gone in their upward progress, they will in due time
take their place ataong u4.” That plaad ^cannot be
bought, nor bequeathed, nor gained by slight ol hand.
It will come to sobriety, virtue, industry and fru
gality. As the nation cannot be sound until the South
is prosperous, so, on the other extreme, a healthy
condition of civil society in the South is indispensa
ble to the welfare of the freedmen!
Refusing to admit loyal Seuators and Representa
tives from the South to. Congress will ljpt help the
freedmen. It will not secure to them ne vote. It
will not protect them. It will not secure any amend
ment of onr Constitution, however just and wise. It
will only increase the dangers and complicate the diffi
culties. Whether we regard the whole nation or any

Out of it rise dread spectres and threatening sounds.

DURANT OYER THE DEAD BODY OF
THE NEW ORLEANS REVOLUTION
ARY CONVENTION.
Thomas J. Durant, who was onfe of tbe
leading spirits of the Radical revolutionary
Convention which led to the dreadful riot in
New Orleans on the 23d of July, is “doing
the martyi” in Philadelphia, whe relic is a
delegate to thelSoathern Loyalist*’, or Black-
and-T&n Convention. His speech for the
occasion was evidently deliberately prepared
and carefully committed, and like that of
Mark Antony over the body of Caesar, well
calculated to “stir the very stoues of Pbila- ;
delpbU to mutiny.” As tbe Roman * iatrap
held up the bloody mantle of the fliiln ty
rant, so Durant arrays before the rabid rad
ical rabble of Philadelphia the sanguinary
scenes of that fearful day, in bis efforts to
“move their gentle sonls to pity.” Aftef an
elaborate argument to prove that he and
his associate revolutionists were justifiable
iu reconvoking the illegal convection, he
thus describes tbe terrible denouement s
Ou that day, citizens, our glowing sun rose ma
jestically over the city of New Orleans; all nature
smiled under his bounteous beams; the Quedn City of
the valley of tbe Mississippi lay there bathed in .the
glorious sunlight like a rich diamond in a monarch’s
crown, or as the brightest jewel in the girdle of the
Republic. No indication iu the heavens foreshadowed
the dark fatality that was to approach that day. The
Union citizen, in pursuit of his business avocations,
went to his desk, his workshop and his store that day.
Was there auy thought of apprehension in any man’s
mind it was immediately silenced, for there floated
the American flag over New Orleans, the guarantee of
protection, and there stood an American geuerd with
aa American, army tohkield the. Uau>4 citizen if any
peril should occur. - The Union tean, * unconscious of
harm, was pursuing the daily business of life. But
what was that sound that smote upon his ear ? It was
like the stifled cry of a distant multitude. “No; ’twas
but the wind or the car rattling o’er the stony street.”
He thinks again of the flag that is protecting
him, and turns once more to the business of
the day. But hark! that sound comes again; he
starts from his seat; he listens more attentively.—
But haik again! That nearer shout brings faster
on the murderers; the streets are filled with an in
furiated populace: a band of assassins in the garb of'
policemen, headed by that prince of murderers, the
Mayor of New Orleans, appears in the stroets to
reap the long account of smouldering vengeance. A
procession of citizens peacably bearing the Americau
flag attempted to appear upon the streets to do honor
to a convention whicti, it was said, was to bestow upon
them the natural rights from which their race bad
long been excluded in our country; they are assaulted
in the streets with murderous weapons and dispersed.
The members of the convention sitting there hail
heard these sounds of tumult also, but were without
apprehension; for did not the American flag float
over them, and was there not an American general
there to protect them ? They ordered their sergeant-
at arms to proceed to the houses Of absent citizen^ to
summon their attendance. As he puts his foot upon
the sidewalk, emerging from the building, a murder
ous and traitorous shot salutes him iu the back; he
falls, weltering in blood. A native of Louisiana, a
gallant man, who had taken up arms under the flag of
our country, aud served honorably in a Louisiana
Union regiment, falls on the streets of the city
slaughtered when in the peacable execution of his
duty. A friend conveys him u> his vehicle; the shouts
of the savage mob salute him as he drives off; he has
not life enough left to reach his home; he hears the
cry of the multitude in the distance; he hears it but
he heeds it not; his eye is with his heart, aud that is
far away, for he is thinking of the dear wile and chil
dren at home, that await their dying father; with bis
expiring strength he clasps the shoulder of the naan
that drives the vehicle, and says, with his fainting
breath, “Give my love to my dear wife and child. He
expires there before he reaches home. A reverend
man, who opened the proceedings that morning with
prayer, who stood beside him wbo now addresses you
on the Fourth of July, when we commemorated the
anniversary of our nation’s birth—this reverend mau,
fresh from the service of lijs Maker, invoking a bless
ing on the leaders of the convention, and descending
with tho emblem of peace in his hand to still these fu
rious men, whom he too little knew—he also is slaugh
tered in cold blood and treated with" marks of such
savage cruelty that you would scarcely believe it if I
had the tongue to' narrate them to you.
Yes, under the blows of these more than savages,
the wretched Horton sunk to the ground; and barely
having time to reach his home aud receive the conso
lations of his wife and children—receiving in vain the
best surgical aid—he sinks back, and his spirit re
turns to his God who gave it.
But who is that I sea dragged by me, where I saw
men slaughtered in front of my own place of business ?
Who is that, bareheaded under the scorching rays of
au aimost tropical sun, his hair dishevelled, his gar
ments torn to fragments, his whole countenance all
streaming with blood—who is be thus ruthlessly
dragged through the streets with four armed assail
ants trailing him in the dust in spite of his crippled
limb ? He is the man who had been Governor of
Louisiana under that very Constitution which it is
now pretended was so sacred that nobody could say it
should be changed. It was the very man who had en
joyed the confidence of Mr. Lincoln, your revered
Chief Magistrate. [Great applause.] It was the Hon.
Michael Hahn who was thus ignominioualy dragged
through the streets of the city.
But I cannot dilate upon these horrors. The public
prints have made you all but too familiar with them.
Not even the bitterest of our foes, I believe, could
now tell them without a tear.
How much the occurrence of such scenes
of violence are to be deplored, It is’ still
more deplorable that by misrepresentation
and false coloring they are made the means
of stirring up sectional hatred and perpelua
ting partisan strife in our unhappy country.

have the tame leg made right. (Cheers and great ap-
platise.) Guarantees are talked of. I think tbe time
has come for the President of the United States and
for ns who .ire associated with him to aek guarantee
on the othet aide. What guarantee have we that if
Tennessee should humble taeraetf in the dust, and
North Carolina and SouthtNiarollna should “eaLtbe
leek,’’ and if the Southern States ehould give np forty
of their representatives they would then be admitted?
I do not see any guarantee for that. New terms m%y
be insisted on every day.
Tbe Empress Charlotte’s Visit to France,
[Paris Correspondence London Times!
I have more precise information as to the ohtoct of
the Empress Charlotte's visit to Paris. It is to obtain
a release, for the present, from the obligation of ply
ing what is due to France out of the Mexican Custom-
Houses. The invasions of the insurgent bands have
greatly reduced their prooeede, which are now confined
to the port of Vera Cruz. The Hoxlcaa government
requires, even with the strictest economy, 500,000
piasters mouthly for its indispensable expenses; and
for some time past it has not been inane receipt of
more than two-fifths of that sum from the customs.
The financial condition of the Mexican government is
thus reduced to the loweet ebb, and it is to. seek relief
from its generous creditor that her Majesty has braved
the dangers of pestilence and of the ocean. It is said
that should her solicitations prove ineffectual (which - tiiKtwWdl
is not likely.) the Empress Charlotte will n?t hsauate - '
to place in the Emperor's bands a* her ultimatum
tier husband’s abdication of the throne of Metico.
It is in this extremity that one of th* mdtt ingenious
members of the Cabinet is directed to Invent some
combination. Tho mattert* not an easy one, for the
sums due from Mexico figure as an item of receipt in
the French budget, and the deficiency caused Ly this
non-payment must be made up from other sources.
The raids of the rebel bauds, too often successful, are
attributed to the reduction of the army of occupation.
After ail. Marshal Forey was not ao tar wrong when
he instated a year ago on tbe necessity of maintain
ing at all risks the whole force in the country; and
striking a vigorous blow, which probably would have
completely crushed the malcontent*.

.eoi-rcr^ .
On Thursday night last quite a desperat^ affiray oc
curred at a camp meeting about tbra* miles frqpa
Hanover switch, on the Washington branch tha
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which, although in—
what magnified into a massacre by. rumor, turns oat
to have been of a very serious character, and resulted
in the dangerous wounding of ohe white man and the
shooting of three negroes. The Baltimore Commer
cial bag the following account of the affray :
tears that a camp meeting, under the auspices
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,directed by tha Bev.
John Lsnahan, presiding elder, had been in progress
about one week, tbe meeting being arranged to dose
on yesterdsg morning- Them were about one ban-
dred tents## tNe; gfoCnd 4»r4he accommodation of
the whites,'mitnnrmediately in the rear of the preach
ing stand was a tract set apart for the accommodation
of negtfoe*,* who had erected large tent* and were
present dn the grounds to the number of about three
hnndretl. Everything passed off very quietly until
the evening of Thursday last, when several rslight al
tercations occurred between some of the bl^ks and
white persons on the ground, which; bo#*ver, ret
suited in nothing more than a war of wotda. It was
noticed, however, that a number of the nqgroos were
engaged in cutting clubs in different parts of the
ground*, which led to considerable discussion among
the Whites, and it soon became apparent that disorder
would ensue. . Later in the erenjpg several young
men appeared on the grounds intoxicated, and having
learned of the evident preparatidn 1 6t the negroes for
a row, they added to the general ill freliag by throw
ing piec^aof cstitalopes and watermelons among the
blacks'. Tho managers of the camp ground here in
terfered. and attempted to quiet tho disorderly par
ties, and were about getting them away when the De
formed in a body, and with dries of “ RaU|
“go in,” they made a rush upon the officers
and those who were in their charge, aud fired a voUey
of about twenty shots indiscriminately into the Whites
who were assembled iu front of the preacher’s aland
to the number of. perhaps, three hundred persons, a
majority of whom were ladies, and would no doubt
have killed or wounded many persona but for tho tact
that the entire congregation were at prayer, and being
in a kneeling position the bullets went aver their
heads, entering the surrounding trees aud tents.
A young man named Benson, sou of Mr. J. Benson,
a well known resident of the neighborhood, was aeen,
however, to raise up from a kneejfrif position at a
bench near the preacher’s stand, ana Instantly fall
again. Upon examination it was found that one of
the shots from the negroes in his rear had taken effect
on him—the ball passing in the right aide of the neck
and come out of the mouth.
The whites returned the fire, and it is stated wound
ed three* of the negroes, one seriously, named An
drew Adams, who was shot in the right aide, another
named Elias Hamilton in the right foot, and a third,
name upkpown, in trie arm.
The aobne at this juncture beggars all description,
the contestants rushing at each other with the most
savage fury, whilst the ladies and children in the con
grega&ou fled for their lives in every direction. The
fight was kept up foe about half an hour, from twelve
o’clock until half past two o’clock, when tbe whites
felt back precipitately, the negroes having by this
time increased their farce to over one hundred
persons, all of whom were armed with either a pistol
or larga club.
partial quiet having been restored, Rev. George
Dritch and others visited the negroes and induced
them to leave, to avoid further ximtarbance, - which
they did, when several whites proceeded to pile up
and destroy their quarters, together 1 with furniture,
bedding. Sic. ‘

ground, and in-
an^officlal TnvesUgatiBb, "'examining many
witnesses, both whuo and black, among those who
were present. Below may be /dund a synopsis of the
testimony adduced, as taken by our special reporter,
who visited the grounds :
Stephen Watkins (white) deposed.—Saw Jacob
Walters, a negro, (formerly a slave of Mr. Benson,
father of the young man who was shot,) with a pistol;
heard him say Ufafly, met ; G—d d—n ’em, we’ll give
’em enough.*- ’ *’ 9 ~+
Julius Key testified that he saw a large yellow man
with a club; saw him strike a white man.
Rev. George Leitch deposed—Do not know the ori
gin of the affair; saw a man intoxicated back of the
stand; Messrs. Downs, Shipley and others, officers,
attempted to get him away and preserve ordor; the
man said a negro had struck him With a club; the
brother of the man (named Harman) said, “Shoot the
iaqparrel ensued, and wbUst Mr. Shipley
and others were getting away, the negroes fired the
first shots at them; several of the officers of the camp
had offered to quiet things and protect the negroes,
but the latter waved their clubs aud exclaimed. “We’JI
protect ourselves, by O—they then cried, “Rally,
boy b,” and made a rash, when the Tight became gene
ral; tbe whites retreated; and were followed to the
circle in front of the preacher’s stand, where they ral
fied and returned the Are.
Elijah Jackson (white) testified—Heard the darkies
say, “We can defend ourselves, G—d d—n ’em;” all
the darkies had clubs; saw a large yellow man with a
huge club, who cried out, “Come on, boys—rally,” Ac.;
the negroes then fired three ahote first, and then a
volley. I saw no white man fire until some time
after.
George Shipley (an officer on the ground), deposed
—Saw that both parties were enraged. The blanks
said, “come on, boys,” The whites threw can-
tclope rinds among thg Ifiadte; witness and Mr. Har
man triedfid iaakapfiaee*., Ie whites were carsing
the blfccks, the latter crying, “come on, G—d d—n
you.” The negroes then cried, “rally, boys,” and
shot several times.
George Clarks (negro), testified—That he first saw a
negro, not a white man, with a club. This was be
fore the firing; the white man did nothing; no one
was disturbing the darkies then.
. Mr. William White deposed—Saw Black Jacob (Ben-
aon’s boy), with a club; heard him say, “Come on,
youd white- ; we’ll meet you.” Heard the
same •* man boasting that the “niggers had killed a
d— white man.”
Mr. George Bragden—Saw a number of negroes
with pistols.
Mr. William H. Downs (Magistrate)—Saw negroes
with pistole and clubs; got on the stand when they
were firing; oue ball passed through my hat and an
other through my boot.
Washington stockell, (negro), testified that he bad
a club. Did not strike a white man, but he tried to
strike one. If I had struck him. I’d have broke his
neck square off. (This witness was held, in default or
bail, charged with participation in Hie riot) Whilst
giving hie testimony, he was asked a question relative
to a negro camp meeting which had been held two
weeks before, when he said iu a boasting way, “The
white folks come to that meetin, but we rallied on
’em and driv ’em fur Three miles.”
A number of additional witnesses were examined,
all of whom corroborated the above, upon which the
magistrate issued waraants for some eight or ten per
sons, white and black, who, if caught will be held for
trial.
