MEEiING OF BRITISH SOUTHERN BOND
HOLDERS.
Agents for the Southern bend holders in Lon
don have issued the following call:
“ A meeting of bondholders will be held on
Monday the 4th of Sept, noxi, to consider their
altered position now that tho Government of
the United States has becomo the defacto gov
ernment cf the Couf-xlerate States, and if
deemed expedient to appoint a committee to
protect their rights end interests, and gener
ally to take such steps aa may be thought ad
visable. Crmmunicatior.s lrom bona fide
bondholders may in the meantime be made to
the undersigned.
“ Terrel, Chaiibf.rlaix & Blake,
“ Solicitors for the bondholders.”
Commenting upon this advertisement, the
London Star, of the 2Sd, says ; There is not
in international law one shred of authority to
support the idea that a rightful' Government is
bound to assume the debts which were con
! traded to aid in its own destruction. The
doctrine Is so manifestly absurd {hat it only,
requires to be staled to'be itß own refutation.
The Ccmfedei ate bondholders are not'debtors
to the late Southern Government, If they
; were they might, pv-roeps. find some theory of
j law which would absolve them from the disa
-1 gveeabie duly of pay'ng, They are unfortu
nately creditors, and their debtor has disap
peared, leaving no effects which are not claimed
by the creditor having the preference. The
United States claims all tho cotton, all the'
ships, all the money, all the stores of the
Confederates in neutral countries, as well as in
the South. The Stonewall has already been
given up to them by Spain. Jho 'henandoab
will be civen up bv any ccuitry in whose bor
ders she seeks refuge. They claim all the cot
ton and funds cf ihe Confederate Government
now in this country. Ifsneh questions come
before a court of law in England, the judges
cannot look favorably upon the chums of the
bondholders in connection with a loan*entered
into in contravention of the Queen’s procla
matiun.

1. Resolved, That tbo past history of. the De
mocratic party is to bo found in the proudest
records of the country, and its creed in the"

.3 Resolved, That as the first fruits of this
triumph the people demand tbo subordianatiftn
of the military to civil rule, the restitution of
the authority 6f the courts, and tfie recogni
tion of the equality of the States ; that we re
gard all efforts, either by prolonging the mili
tary ruie„cr by denying the right of represen
tation to the States, in order to compel them
to adopt negro. equality or negro eufrage as an
element of their Constitutions, as tending to
delay and prevent tho pacification of the coun

ernment, and endanger tho * liberties cf the
people.
4. Resolved, That in the plan of President
Johnson for the speedy reconstruction of the

wo recognize the enlightened statesmanship,
sound political theory and old-fashioned, time
honored regard for the relations and rights of
the States and the Federal Government, rs

IMPORTANT LETrFR FROM HECKKaARY
HAUL |
I he Position cl Fresidpn; JoUm n ou Atgro £uf- i
frsge
Dbpabimknt cf thk Intebior. .
Washington, D C AuM 26. |
Hon. Gtorgt B Edmonds. Clermont, loira :
Dear Sik ; I have just received your letter
of the 21st inst,. -stating amou* ether things, i
that the Union State Convention of lowa ha. '
adopted as a plan iu ite platform a rasom- ■
mentation in favor of negro tuff.aga; tba‘ the |
Copperhead Convention has indorsed Presi-t
dent Johnson’s policy for the reorgstezaboii j
of 3tatet assuming it to be in opposition to!
negro suffrage .$• that this is, in our opinion,'
the issue joined between the two parties in
Iowa; that heretofore the Unk-n party has de
rived valuable aid from me in support of its
principles; that you regret, however, to ob
serve a newspaper report of a speech recently
maae by me, which places me, as you think,
in antagonism with its present principle and
policy, which gives ycu pain.
In reply, I have to say, that J; your opinion
was well founded, it would be a c ,e.-. of
Siater pain to me than toyourself; but, 1 beg
ye respectfully to state that y u mi .-. j
bend the position cf President'John, on, and
my own as well as that of the Unk-n party at
large. The real question at issue, in an ational
point of view, is not whetbei negroes ehab be
permitted to vote, but whether they shall de
rive that authority from the national Govern
ment or from the State Governments respec
tively.
President Johnson maintains the doctrine
that the Constitution of the United States and es
not confer on the Federal Government the
right to interfere primasiiv with the question
of suffrage in any State of the Union; that tho
question may arise and properly be decided by
Congress, when Senators and members present
themselves for admission to scats in that body,
under the clause cf tho Constitution, which
makes each Honse tbo exclusive judge of the
qualifications and elections of members’; and
that other clause of the Constitution of the
United States, which jwovide? tint “ the Uni
ted States shall guarantee to every State :r. the
Union a republican form oi" government.’’
I infer that if any State should adopt a law
on (hesubject of suffrage, which would dearly
i«how the State Government to be oilier i an
republican, it would L s the duty of Congress
to reject applicants for sente, and to ;-drp!
whatever legislative remedies would in then
judgment be necessary to carry cut the- guaran
ties of the Constitution.
That the State of lowa may tako steps to
extend the right of suffrage, is not, rs it seems
to me, in conflict with this policy, and, conse
quently, those-who support the policy of the
President on this subject arc not in antag
onism with the platform oi tho Union party of
lowa.
The Union party of that State prop s) that
the State shall modify its own Constitu
tion so as to include as electors, persons who
have not, under its present provisions, the right
to veto. This, as President Johnson main
tains, a State may do, but that the National
Government would have no right, to require
lowa, or any other State, to modify its "own
Constitution, on this or any other subject,
when not iu conflict with the Constitution of
the Uui ted States.
If fsbonld be In lowa when that question
is' submitted to the people, if it -Louhi be so
submitted by the Lfgieluturt, i would vote to
extend the right to a; I cMssuoof persons pos
sessing the requisite intelligence and patriot
ism to be intrusted with a participation in the
management of public affairs, State or Nation
a!, without regard to their nationality, as I
do not believe that the liberty of auy class o!
people can be considered safe who are to be
permanently deprived cf the exercise cf this
right.
Ido not disguise iheso Opinions ; yon may
therefore make what use of this letter you may
deem proper.
1 have the honor to be.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient sert’t,
Jas Hauian.

M. Carlevaris, a French chemist, has invented
anew light, in the production of wind*sub
stituted magnesia for lime in the oxy-hydrogen
flame. His method has one advantage over
obtaining the flame directly from the ''metal,
being free from the inconvenience du - to
large part of tho magnesia produced by the
combustion of megetiem being thrown off in
the form ola fine powder which so-m per
vades the atmospkero ofa room. On tin other
hand, the new method involves the use of very
Imlky concomitants, which is not the case
with the old method.

A fine piece of carpeting, measuring fourteen

The productiveness of Ireland is steadily de
clining under the general bad management of
