The Sont Htm Conventions Eildon
by President Johnson.
WASHINGTON, September 20.-^1
matter what the opponents of t
President may say, the action of t
conventions thus far held in the Sou
meets with his most hearty approy
The instructions given ' privately
Governors-Sharkey, Parsons and Pei
by the President, have been carri
out almost to the letter, while 1
general conditions for the "Resto
ti?n" of the States, as* set forth in i
Executive proclamation, have bi
faithfully observed. The Preside
therefore, could not do less than
dorse the action of the conventio
but this much he has done.
Included among the cordial
dorsers of the President's policy i
majority of the best Republicant
. the land. The decided opponent!
that policy, though making m
noise, are really but few in numl
and there is every reason to bel
they can do no harm. One who
made a careful inspection of
whole hst of Congressmen electe*
Republicans, and who is compe
to judge,'7expresses the firm cor
tion that three-fourths at least
endorse the President, and vote
by side with Democrats and kn
conservative Republicans in favc
the admission of the Southern Re
sentatives.
The truth is, the more honoi
and Constitution-loving' among
Republicans are completely disgu
with this eternal Agitating and o
Kition to wise measures of resterai
and it is this very thing that
driven them from#urthcr aSsocb
with the extremists.
s Rest assured the President i
right. He ha9 deslared that
South can be "trusted," and, lr
a rock, will stand in his position.
To the appeal or suggestion

had better be thinking ot y organizing
instead of disbanding," the/President'
has, as I am toidi replied by ordering
the Wa? Department to redo ce the
army to a peace footing, which means,
I presume, an army similar in num?
bers to the one prior to the war. Tbife
is a most important condition, and
will naturally barb anew, with hate
and bitterness, the arrows of the op?
position.
LETTER FROM Ax?tXANDER H. STE?
PHENS.-A Columbus^ Georgia, paper j
says
We have JJ tiawKoB to make ex?
tracts of a letter from A. H. Stephens
to a gentleman bf this city. The
letter is dated Fort Warren, Boston
Harbor, Massachusetts, August 31,
1865. In his letter Mr. Stephens
says: ?
* * - * ."I am nc - in- much bet?
ter health |&an when * wrote to you.
The relenffe from close confinement
and removal from the quarters in
which I. was first placed, and being
put in others more comfortable, have
been of great benefit to me. I am
now almost, if not quite, as well as I
was when I came here.
"I sdi by thc papers of this morn?
ing that ?my brother, Linton Ste?
phens, left Washington yesterday for
this place to see me. It is also re?
ported that I shall probably be re?
leased on parole. This is cheering
news to me. Ii the hopes founded
on it prove not to be illusory, I hope
soon to be at home again, and at no
distant day to see you.
"Please remember me to-,
and to all inquiring friends. The
list would be too long for me to un
dertake to enumerate the names of
all that I have thought a- great deal
about since I have been here, in and
about Columbus.
"Yours, truly, .
"ALEXANDER H STEPHENS."
THE DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS.-A
correspondent of the Charleston Cou?
rier says:
4 'The late struggle has unquestion?
ably entailed upon us and our poste?
rity a long train of evils. We are
only entering upon the threshold of a
penal experience which will be pro?
tracted into coming years. The loss
of public records of the Stytte may be
classed among irreparable disasters.
In this particular. South Carolina has
greatly suffered. The State'records
and other papers of importance are
gone forever. Some of the districts
-Clarendon, for example-have had
the entire contents of the district
offices destroyed. Titles, deeds, wills,
judgments and decrees have disap?
peared in' the flames of war. How
much of confusion, how much of liti?
gation, how much of perplexing em?
barrassments, and, perhaps, of injus?
tice and fraud, may . not all this in?
volve?"
A rather serious riot occurred at
Memphis last week, arising from a
white man striking a negro whom he
found beating a small boy. The
white man took refuge in a livery
stable, which was soon surrounded by
excited and angry negro soldiers.
The white man finally escaped by
rapid running. He was closely pur?
sued, and fired at a number of times.
The term Fenian is derived from
the Gaelic word Fiann. In the anti?
quated Golic it is written Fiand. It
was a name given to an order or class
of professional soldiers among the
Pagan Irish, long before the Christian
era. In ordinary time;* the Fiann
consisted of three legioLs; in each
legion were three hundred men
but in war there were usually seven
legions.
The New York Tribune says: A
New Orleans letter informs us that
Mr. Short, the owner of the mansion
occupied by Governor. Hahn and
General Banks, is about to commence
proceedings for the value of the arti?
cles of furniture, &c.-, which he finds
missing on the resumption of his
property.
