Editor New York Times:
I have carefully read your criticism
upon my letter of yesterday. I have also
carelully read the criticism of the Tribune
and'of the Ilerala on similar letters to
i those journals. All of you have one re-
; ply to everything written in defence of
the Constitution and of the equal rights
of the Southern States under that instru
ment. You say “Mr. Hill ignores the re
bellion and its consequences. He assumes
that States which through four bloody
years fought to destroy the Government,
; have a right to assume their old position ;
! in the Union.” * * “The peo-
: pie who conquered the rebellion and
j brought back these refractory States
J against their will, entertain a different
opinion. They hold that the South for
feited the rights which it insolently re
linquished, and may not resume them ex
cept upon certain well defined terms,
which Congress, representing the loyal
States, alone shall dictate.” This is the
doctrine of conquest. It is reiterated in
every iorm by all the Republican Presi

is the question, and I will meet it frauk-
ly and squarely, and not, as *Mr. Beecher
says, “by Taney decisions and construc
tions before Courts of Southern Judges.”
I will roly on Republican and Northern
decisions only.
I,
First, then, I say the result of the war
was not a conquest, but was simply a de
vision that secession failed and the Union
remained, because this result was the de
clared object of the war, and the only ob
ject of the war as declared at its begin
ning, during its progress, and at its close.
Now to the Republican authorities :
1. Mr. Lincoln. In his inaugural ad
dress he said :
“It follows, from these views, that no
State, upon its own mere motion, can law
fully get out of the Union ; that resolves
and ordinances to that effect are legally
void. * * * I therefore con
sider that, in view of the Constitution
and laws, the Union is unbroken, and, to
the extent of my ability, I shall take care,
as the Constitution itself expressly en
joins upon me, that the laws of the Un
ion shall be faithfully executed in all the
States.”
2. Mr. Seward. [ have not his offi
cial dispatch before me, but none can for
get Mr. Seward’s celebrated instructions
to Mr. Adams, Minister to England, that
the scats of the Southern members were
vacant, and they had the right to return
to them.
3. Congress. In July, 1861, the Con
gress of the United States, with almost
entire unanimity resolved : “That this
war is not waged, on our part, in any
spirit of oppression nor for any purpose
of conquest or subjugation. * * but
to defend and maintain the supremacy ot
the Union, and to preserve the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and right
of the several States unimpaired ; and as
soon as these objects are accomplished,
the war ought to cease.” Ten days after
ward this resolution in other words was
repeated, and in the Senate with but one
dissenting voice. Similar declarations
were repeated throughout the struggle by
every department of the Government, and
by the leaders, papers, States and people
of the North. Did the President, the
Cabinet, the Congress, and the people all
tell deliberate falsehoods ? If they told
the truth, can there beany possible doubt
as to the object of the war, and that that
object was not conquest—not to dictate
other terms on which the Southern States
should “resume” their functions in a Un
ion never broken ? "Was anything then
heard about going outside of the Constitu
tion ?
II.
In the second place, I affirm that the
result of the war was not a conquest be
cause it could not be a conquest, and has
been so expressly adjudicated. Here are
the words of Judge Sprague, ot Massa
chusetts—not South Carolina :
“It has been supposed that if the Gov
ernment has the rights of a belligerent,
then, after the rebellion is suppressed, it
will have the rights of conquest; that a
State and its inhabitants may be perma
nently divested of all political privileges
and treated as a foreign territory acquir
ed by arms.”
This is exactly what the Reconstruc
tion measures do. But what does Judge
Are these promises redeemed? Is the
South ill tempered and still rebellions for
asking their redemption ? Are they on
ly loyal and true and entitled to credit
who refuse their redemption ? Will the
Northern people, at the ballot-box. forget
these solemn pledges of their Republican
President, the grave enactments of their
Republican Congresses, the learned de
cisions of their own Courts, and be guid
ed only by the oracular fulminations on
constitutional law by a novel-reading
preacher from the political hustings to a
laughing audience ? Shall the clerical
gown be doffed, that an ecclesiastical
stump-speaker may uncharitably asperse
the judicial ermine of departed purity
and living wisdom amid the cries of a gid
dy people, “A Daniel come to judgment?”
Why will not the Northern people wake
up to the plain, simple fact that the war
was waged on an honest difference of opin
ion as to the right to secede, and that
when the South surrendered the difference
was decided, and the Union remained un
dissolved ? This is the honest truth, and
its simple recognition would remedy every
evil and restore the Union in heart as
well as fact. Where is (the propriety, or
wisdom, or loyalty in perpetually saying
that the Southern people made war on
the Constitution, when every informed
man who says so well knows the Southern
people believed they had a right to secede,
and were so taught by some of the very-
ablest of the framers of the Constitution ?
How was it making war on the Constitu
tion to do or attempt what the very fram
ers of that instrument taught was a right
according to the Constitution, existing be
fore it and not surrendered in it? Yet
even preachers will persist in falsifying so
plain a record.

Ho Longer Dark.
The waves of a sunset sky
Were ebbing at eventide.
And the misty gleams of the softened light
Were fading ou every side.
’Twos dark where the Angel Death
Was watching the household Pet;
And a wild light sprung from the child’s blue
eye,
As the seal of Death was set.
“ Oh, mother ! 'tis dark—so dark j
The valley is drear and lone;
Let me clasp your baud while you lead me
through,
For you caunot leave your Own.”
And the little hand was clasped—
Was clasped with a look of woe,
And a kiss was pressed ou the whitened lip;
But the mother could not go.
“ Dear father, the waves are dark ;
The waters so coldly flow- ;
You will bear me through to the “shining
shore
But the father could not go.
She then returned to the city, bringing
the first and only intelligence of what had
occurred.
Capt. Ford informs us that soon after
tho ilesper was boarded several shots!
I were fired, but whether by the crew or
| the raiders he did not ascertain. Some
j one ordered the firing to cease, and noth-
: ing was heard. No one aboard the Hel
per was injured or in any way mistreat-
! ed.
In half an hour the task was accomplish
ed, and the party quietly returned to the
tug, leaving the Ilesper adrift and in the
possession of ail her crew who remained,
Capt. Houston and his brother having
made for the woods as soon as the Nettie
was seen bearing down upon their craft.
The raiders once more aboard, Capt.
Ford was required to turn his boat north
ward and proceed until further orders.—
At midnight she reached a point in Presi
dent’s island chute, eight miles below the
city Here, by order of the masked com
mander, she was run aground.

“This is an error. * * Con
quest of a foreign country gives absolute
unlimited sovereign rights, but no nation
ever makes such a conquest of its own
But in the third place. From the day
the Reconstruction measures passed, the
South has sought a legal adjudication of
their binding force, Congress has pre
vented it. If the right of conquest is so
clear, why not let the Supreme Court say
so? Are the Northern people afraid of
their own laws, afraid of their own pledges,
and afraid of their own Courts ? Can no
thing be trusted but negroes and a Radi
cal Congress, and they only because they
are willing to monopolize the business of
legislating outside of the Constitution un
der oaths to support it? Mr. Beecher
has made a new discovery. He says there
is quite a distinction in going outside the
Constitution and going against it Ah !
And that, too, when the Constitution it
self, to prevents this very heresy, plainly
says that “all powers not delegated” are
“expressly reserved.” Is not every pow
er, then, outside of the Constitution re
served to the States? And if in the
States how can it be in Congress? We
shall next have a new religion “outside
of the Bible,” and people will be taught
there is a new way to Heaven which is
not so straight, and does not require truth
ful representations of what “rebels” say.
True, Christ said there was but “'one way,”
but it can be easily shown by modern
“brilliants” in logical pyrotechnics that
Christ knew as little of the true meaning
of the Bible as Story and Madison and
Clay and Webster did of the Constitution.
They can all be “reconstructed” by these
unbounded “outside powers,” which they
never saw. Will not Cougress permit
the Supreme Court to decide between us
in the light of this new discovery by the
learned judicial parson ?
This system of misrepresenting the
temper and feelings and wishes of the
South, must have au end. The issue will
be then so plain that even a preacher will
see it.
The south stands on the Constitution,
on the pledges of the North, on the deci
sions of the Courts, and on the iminuta
ble laws of God.
The North stands outside of the Con
stitution, outside of their own pledges,
against the decisions of the Courts, and
in blasphemous array against the peace of
man and the laws of God.
The people of the the nation must de
cile which is right. I do not and will
not believe they will decide for the latter
by Gen. Grant’s election. If so, and Gen.
Grant does not at once adopt Parson
Beecher’s new theory, and support the
Chicago platform by getting outside of it,
we shall be but a nation of lunatics, throw
ing away liberty, and rushing through
anarchy to hug despotism.
The Constitution may crumble; free
dom may perish ; usutpation may hold
high carnival in the nation’s capital, and
send glittering bayone.s throughout the
land to register its decrees in blood. But
the South will hold fast to her honor. I
have done.

Destruction of Arms on the Hesper.
Full particulars of the affair.
territory
T. ”
The Congressional Election Bill Not Sign
ed.—We are now prepared to answer the que-
| ry of the Savannah News and other papers,
Memphis, Oct. 17.—The destruction
of arms on board the steamer Hesper still
causes much excitement. The Democrat
ic papers assert that they were destroyed
by Radicals for the purpose of making
political capital; that Capt Houston of
the Hesper loaded his boat at Harkleroad’s
for that purpose ; also that the arms were
not the property of the State of Arkan
sas. The Republican papers on the other
hand assert that they were destroycdby
the Ku-Klux.
The following particulars of the seizure
were obtained iu substance from Capt.
Jno. Ford of the impressed tug Nettie
Jones : About 5 o’clock, Thursday af
ternoon, the tug Nettie Jones, Capt. Jno.
Ford, left the wharf for Fort Pickering,
having a barge in tow, intending to re
turn with lumber. The tug reached its
destination and landed at about half-past
5 o’clock. No one was in sight, hut the
line had scracely been made fast before
the spot was covered with men, ail so se
curely masked as to be unrecognizable —
They were probably a hundred in num
ber, and had evidently been concealed
some time under the bluff. Without
speaking a word, they quietly boarded
the tug; took possession of the pilot
house and engine room, ordered Capt.
Ford to immediately start down the river,
adding, by way of incentive to prompt
ness, that somebody might be hurt in
case of refusal.
Accordingly be ordered ODe of the
crew to cast off the line, and in a few
minutes the tug was rapidly steaming for
President’s island chute. U pon taking
possession, the new commander kept a
vigilant eye on the crew, not allowing any
of them to leave his post for even a mo
ment. The engineer was nut allowed to
oil his machinery. The mysterious pas
sengers evidently feared he might sud
denly put it out of repair The head of
the tug was held steadily down the river
until approaching Cat island, twenty-five
miles below, near the Arkansas shore.—
This was between 71 and 8 o’clock, and
Capt. Ford was ordered to run his tug
alongside the little steamer Hesper, which
was tied up, wooding. During the trip
the leaders informed Ford that they in
tended overhauling the Hesper, destroy
ing the arms, but that strict orders had
been issued to the men to harm no one
and respect all other property.
In obedience to orders, Capt. Ford run
the tug alongside* This was no sooner
accomplished than, leaving two of their
number in the pilot house, two in the en
gine room, and one in the cabin as a
guard—the latter over one of the crew
who had insulted the leader.
The masked party suddenly sprung
aboard the Hesper. Little or nothing
was said, and the boarders, who evident
ly had an eye to business, placed the crew
under surveillance and commenced the
work in hand. The gun boxes were

“When the United States take posses
sion of a rebel district they merely vindi
cate their pre*existing title. * * *
Under our Government the right of sov
ereignty over any portion of a State is
given and limited by the Constitution,
and will be same after the war as it was
before.”
AY here now is the authority for new
terms of Union ? W ill even a preacher
doubt, or deny, or rebel against such au
thority ? It could be multiplied almost

not gotten his signature. The bill is therefore
not a law, and cannot become such without
three more readings in each branch of the Gen

Many yeais ago a celebrated Italian
aitist was walking along the streets of
his native city, perplexed and despond
ing in consequence of some irritating cir
cumstance of misfortune, when he met a
little boy of such surprising beauty that
he forgot his own trouble and gloom in
looking upon the almost angelic face be
fore him.
“That face I must have,” said the ar
tist, “for my studio. Will you coine to
my room and sit for a picture my little
*)yy
man i
The little boy was glad to go and see
the pictures and pencils and curious
things in the artist’s room, and he was
still more pleased when he saw what
seemed to be another boy looking just
like himself, smiling from the artist’s can
vass.
The artist took a great deal of pleasure
in looking at the sweet, innocent face.—
When he was troubled, or irritated, or
perplexed, he lifted bis eyes to that love
ly image on the wall, and its beautiful,
hopeful features and expression calmed
his heart and male him happy again.—
Many a visitor to this studio wished to
purchase that lovely face; but though
poor, and often in want of money to buy
food and clothes, he would not sell his
good angel, as lie called this portrait.
So years went on. Oftimes as he look
ed up to the face on the glowing canvass
he wondered what had become of that
boy.
“How I should like to see how he
looks now ! I wonder if I should know
him ? Is he a good man and true, or
wicked and abandoned ? Or has he died
and gone to a better world ?”
One day the artist was strolling down
one of the fine walks of the city when he be
held a young whose face and mien were
' so vicious, so depraved, so almost fiend
like, that he involuntarily stopped and
gazed at him.
“What a spectacle ! I should like to
paint that figure and hang it in my studio
opposite the angel boy,” said the artist to
himself.
The young man asked the painter for
money; for he was a beggar as well as a
thief.
“Come to my room and let me paint
your portrait, and I will give you all you
ask,” said the artist.
The young man followed the painter
and sat for a sketch. When it was fin
ished, and he had received a few coins
for his trouble, he turned to go, but his
eye rested upon tho picture of the boy ;
he looked at it, turned pale, and then
burt into tears.
“What Doubles you,
artist.
It was long before
coulri speak ; he sobbed
ed pierced with agony,
ed up to the picture on the wall, and in
broken tones, which seemed to come from
a broken heart, said :
“Twenty years ago you asked me to
come up here and sit for a picture, and
that angfl lace is the portrait. Behold
me now a ruined man, so bloated, so hid
eous, that women and children turn away
their faces from me; so fiend-like that
you wanted my picture to show how ug
ly a man could look. Ah . I see now
what crime and vice have done for me.’
The artist was amazed. He could scarce
ly believe hi> own eyes and ears “How
did this happen ?” he asked.
The young man then told him his sad
and dreadful history ; how being an only
son aud very bcautiiul, his parents petted
aod spoiled him, how he went forth
among bad boys and learned all their bad
habits and came to love them ; how, hav
ing plenty of money, he was enticed into
wicked places until all was lost, and then,
unable to work, and ashamed to beg, he
man ?” said the
