These assamblagen *re generally, the instrumentalities which the pro ..... pin, ti TI ag anrlrr- f-^ff<>r"mwnt eLiry, have these agencies been worked frith great soaoess by carious political parties. These, however, .* nwiiifbftBiAuyiw ^wmripmji^ poses-to secar? the election of eai>. * ?Udale? ana a consequent share ol public spoils, by the machinery ol n. perfect organization obtained in this .way. :rJl?d it ia to snoh an organiza oiwajou that th? efforts of thepatriotic men of the late Convention are directed, ia order to avert the evils threatened by the radical party. The hopes of the patriotic throughout v the 'land are concentrated on the suoeew pf these efforts. . -ar Ju? co-operative with the Philadel? phia' Convention, the telegraph in - formed us, on Wednesday morning, of a call that has been issued for a Convention of the soldiers of the lato war, to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on tiw 7th of September. This call is addressed to those of the - army and' navy -who sustain the Pre? sident's policy, and its declaration of principles is much the same as that of the late Philadelphia Convention. s The call is signed by a large number of general Federal officers, and we do not know whether it waa intended to embrace the soldiers of the late Confederate army. Especially is there some confusion about the mat? ter, as it had been previously an? nounced that a Convention of the soldiers of both the late armies would ,. , he held at Chicago, some time next ' month. The policy of this soldiers' call, as announced, being to support the President in his work of restoring harmony to the country and the Southern States to their proper posi? tion in the councils of the Govern ?". ment, it will, unquestionably, prove a valuable adjunct to, and a powerful ,||J?^Wo?er, with, the Philadelphia Convention. Wo think, moreover, if the opportunity be ottered, or if they should be invited to this or any future convention, bused upon the principles set forth in the present call, that the soldiers of the late Con- j federate armies might participate ? therein, without dishonor or disgrace. Brav? mon who honestly fought for j the cause they espoused, on either ' side, might meet in friendly council ? and be largely instrumental in aiding- ! their other fellow-citizens to sccom- i plish the patriotic purpose all have ? in view, . But as snoh a meeting may not be practicable on the part of the South? ern, soldiers, it might be well for them, in some way, to express to the j members of the Convention already called, their cordial sympathy with ! them in the objects they have in view. The mode of tendering such an expression we do not pretend to suggest; yet we think such action would be very proper, furnishing, us it would do, another evidence of our sincere acceptance of the results of the war, and of our earnest sympathy and cordial support of the principles and policy avowed by them, and by means of which the Union is now sought to be restored, not only in name, but in fact and in truth. This matter is worthy of consideration. A Pleasant Humer. Our telegrams, published yesterday morning, brought us the rn mor that Judge Advocate Holt would probably be removed from office. His com? plicity in the conspiracy to take a way the life of Jefferson Davis, as shown by his correspondence with members of tho gang, forwarding them money, ?tc, is enough to shut him ont from all respectable society, much less l<? eject him from any office of honor or trust under the Government. This report, if true, with that previously concerning the transfer of Secretary Stanton, would bo universally ap? proved by the people, and would in? crease, if possible, the confidence they now have in their honest and patriotic Chief Magistrate. His true policy is to fill all offices in his gift, not only with the supporters of his policy, but , also with virtuous, honest and pure man from among them, and thus re store the Government, not only in its , unity, bot in the faithful administra tion ol its alfa President Jttkneott has heretofore rito8t5feo??f4dici*shft^fo,??ed 1 on bim. But itt*is ?eo?nt speech the Co?mit4ee o^th* Phih-delphia oventwft-,-wl^hffik he heW%ake"ha stop forward, und taken op s weapon of offence, ?nd.hope he may handle it as skilfully and ns successfully as he has those of mere defence. The point we desire to call attention to is con? tained in the following sentence : : "We have seen hanging upon the. verge of the Government, as it were, a body called, or which assumes to be, the 'Congress of the United States,' while, jp fact, it is a Congress of only part of the States. " The legality and validity of the radical Congress is here pointedly brought into question, for the Con? gress of the United States is com? posed of the Senate and House of Repr?sentatives, in the former of which every State is expressly enti? tled to two Senators by the Constitu? tion- of the United States. This body, therefore, if not constitutional, cannot pass an Act that carries with it the validity of law, and every such Act is consequently void and of none 'effect. j This journal took this ground some months ago ; and while we were glad to see the President contending so bravely with the faction which mils j itself, or "assumes to be, the Congress ?of the United States," we have fre? quently expressed our regret that he did not boldly and unequivocally treat that faction as illegal and unconstitu? tional, and that ho in any way recog? nized its assumptions of the legisla? tive powers of the Government. But he now comes to the point, and in saying that "it is a Congress of only part of tho States," he says in as many words that it is not the Con? gress of the United* States, and that consequently it had no more right to pass laws fur the government of thc citizens of the United States than would hnvo any other assemblage not provided for by the Constitution. It remains to IM? seen how this question is to 1>e tested, whether in the (Courts of the United States or by the radicals persisting in legislating for the country, despite thc Constitu? tion they swore to defend aud main? tain. The civil rights bill has already been pronounced unconstitutional l?y 'some of thu courts of the country, and it is S??d, on good authority, that tho Supreme Court has come to a similar decision; but oh what grounds it rs not known. Tf on the ground that thc body which passed it is un? constitutional and illegal, then every Act and public resolution that it has ^-passed Rince tho tth of December huit is unconstitutional, null and void. How and when the issue will come -and como it will if the radicals be successful-Ls yet in thc. womb of the future. Thc question, however, arises, if the radical representatives be not the Congress, -docs it not bis come the duty of the Executive De? partment of the Government to treat it as an illegal body? If resistance by force, to the action of tho Presi? dent be attempted, then, as the Con? stitution prescribes, he is the rim mander-in-chief of the anny and navy, and is clothed with ample au? thority to disperse unlawful and sedi? tious assemblies. NV.w SKA ISLAND COTTON. -The Charleston < 'mirier says: Mr. ii. Boddin sends us a fine spe? cimen of sea island cotton, which ht ia now picking on his plantation, ou Wando River. Mr. Roddin gives very flattering accounts of his cotton crop and of thc faithful conduct ol the freedmen in his employ. Tlif number of acres of cotton under cul? tivation on Mr, R.'s place is 200, from which he expects to realize froud 125 to 150 bales. - - -* . I GSNERAX GltAST.- A Washington correspondent, speaking of the pre j sence of (ion. Grant at the interview i of the committee with the President, ! says: j "General Grant arrived just aftei i Hon. Reverdy Johnson had com I menced his remarks, and the com pany recognized th?< presence of th? General hy a round of applause. lb walked straight up to the side of th? President, who turned and shoot; hands with him. There was that il the manner and looks of Gen. tirant which all interpreted to mean: 'I an with you, gentlemen; I endorse yoni proceedings.' A number of ladies were also present among them, Mrs Johnson, (this being the second tim? she has appeared in public since she became an occupant of the White House,) Mrs. Patterson, and th?- la die? of some of the members of th? Cabinet" SouO?>vn ???lr?**... - Th?6W ? mach needen reform i? the management and material* of our ?outaorn railroads. It has been the case Heretofore, tba* too little atten? tion has been given to the comfort of passengers, bj this mode of convey? ance; the apparent object having been to make as milch money as pos? sible, and the traveler never failed to note this difference when he changed cars and entered those of Northern lines. .... These remarks are suggested by the following^ extracts, from a letter tb' the Augusta Chronicle anti Sentinel, from Gen. A. B.. Wright, one of its editors, who, by the way, speaks well of tbe management of the Charleston road. The General says : The elegant sleeping cara which are now run from Atlanta to Wilming? ton, ave a now feature in railroad traveling in. the South. Passengers are furnished with state-rooms, sup? plied with clean beds and linen, large mirrors, and nice marble wash? stand, towels, &c, which enable one to keep clean and comfortable, despite the dust and cinders. The easy, rocking motion of thc cars really "cradles" ono to sleep, and insures a glorious night's repose. There is really^little fatigue experienced now in a trip of several days. No one should think, of coming North without securing a through ticket ?ni these splendid "sleeping ears." They are so constructed that, during the day, the berths are folded up uud tho car thus becomes a delightful day car. The Wilmington ami Manch?-ster road is in very good condition, timi makes good time-rarely missing a connection either way. The Wilmington and Weldon road is in most excellent condition. Here they have splendid new passenger cars, and everything Ls as clean aud neat as a new pin. They make better time on this road than any T haw passed over, and the conductors here, as on the South Carolina road, are old-fashioued, attentive and ac? commodating gentlemen.*' -- - POPE Piirs.-Acurresptmd?'nt, writ? ing from Home, says: Yesterday was the festival of St. Peter's, and the ceremonies were solemnized by the Pope himself, in tho Pasilica of tim Saint. The Holy Father officiated over the Apostle's tomb with the pomp always displayed on this occasion and on the two other great festivals of the year. East er and Christmas. Ho looked very pah! and thin; his hue voice was weak; and, in intoning the belief, he was obliged to stop after the first words to take breath. After the ce? remony. His Holiuess, wearing tho tiara, was carried in his state chair between the flabelli, or fans of white feathers, into ibo middle of the grand wave, where he rendered the secular protestation of the Holy See against the princes who withhold tribute; adding to these ancient com? plaints si protest against the annexa? tion of the Pontifical provinces t<? the kingdom of Italy. He made some further references to present circum? stances, but his voice was too feeble and the crowd too great for lite words to be heard, and they are not reported by the official journal, though hitherto this organ has always reproduced thc Latin text with amplifications. We are now only told that "the Holy Father re? peated what he said in former years, and added such words as he thought opportune condemnation of more re? cent deed.--, observing that God will speak in a manner worthy of the All Powerful." DAIL.Y POST TO ENGLAND. -It would appear, the cable across the Gulf ol St. Lawrence having been repaired and relaid, that our communication with the Old World, by means of thc Atlantic Telegraph, will be certain, constant and rapid, in future. Wc have to add, that it is the intention of the British Government to estab? lish, if possible, a daily post with thia country-that is, to send a swift mail steamer from Liverpool every day in the week, by which letters and newspapers will be conveyed. In order to make this a real boon to th? public, the postage, which is now twenty-four cents for each lette) weighing less than half an ounce, will be reduced to ?it least half thal amount. This, however, willj proba bly require the joint action of tht United States Congress. ? Philadelphia J'rtss. ? ? ? ? FATAL ACCIDENT.-Tho Charlestot Courier mentions an accident, result ing in the death of n young lad; named Maxy Dougherty, house-keep er for a gentleman residing on Join street. Tho accident occurred lus Sunday morning. The unfortunate victim was engaged in inak'ng up tin bed of the proprietor of the bouse when a loaded pistol, which he ha? left, limier the pillow, fell to the Moo ami went off, the ball entering tin thigh of the young woman and passe? into the abdomen. As ?i passenger was leaning ?mt o a car window at Norwalk ?h'pot, ? seedy individual ?nt th?; outside, jus as tb?- train started, exchanged hat with him, obtaining a new castor ii place of a dilapidated glazed caji which he coolly placed upon his vic? tim's head, ami walked off.

VERY GOOD.-Borne one of oar brother chips very appropriately remarks;' ''Do not forget that it costs something to puff as well an to advertise, and never to sponge upon thc printers in any manner whatever. It is printer's ink that makes nine-tenths of your fortunes; it takes j money to buy ink, iype, paper, and yet, after all this, few arc the thanks that the printers get. Give the printer fair psy, and give np ail expectation of gratuitous pading, etc. The groat American states? man, Daniel Webster, was 'mighty near right' when be remarked of the press: 'Small is thc sam required to patronize a newspaper, amply rewarded is rta patrons, care 1 not how h nm bb- and unpretending the gazette which he takes.
