._....__>.Lu.m ALL. - Marital]: Gazette. Tuesday, August 7, 1866. The New 0rleans Massacre. Louisiania has a Governor, State Officers, Judiciary, and Legislature, all of whom hold their offices and exercise their functions un- der and by virtue of a Constitution of the State, adopted by a vote of the people in 1864, and acknowledged by the Executive of the United States. This constitution was draWn up and submitted to the people of Lousiana by a Convention chosen by them, and held in. the year above mentioned. The lawfulness of the election of that Convention the author- ity of its action, and the power exercised by it have. been recognized in all of the subse- quent history ofLouisiana and by all parties . in the State. On it, as a foundation rests to- day the Whole edifice oi the State govern- ment, in all its departments. When the Convention adjourned in 1864. instead of making the adjournment without day, and thereby-dissolving itself, it provided for its continued existence, by adjourning till such time as it should be reconvened by its presiding officer. The object of this action wasto enable it to make such additions to the Constitution as might be required on the return of peace, which was then hoped to be notfar distant. Upon the adoption of the Constitution, as we have said the whole state machinery was put in motion, and recognized by the Presi- ‘dent astha lawful local authority of Louisi- 8119... 3"? few weeks ago the Governor of Louisana, who had received from Mr. Se- ward the official copy of the Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. now awaiting the ratification of the States, and which may be ratified, ei her by the Legisla- tures Or by Conventions chosen as was the one of 1864, determined to reassemble the convention to take action upon the Amend- ment and issued his proclamation for that pur- pOse, and, at the same time, issued writs of election,t_o fill vacancies which had occured in the membership. The Convention was thus ordered to assemble in New Orleans on the 30th of July. The Mayor of New Orleans is a malignant Rebel. The sheriff of New Or- leans is the infamous Rebel General Hayes. The police are his old rebel soldiers the “Louisiana Tigers,” The Attorney General of Louisiana is the Rebel General Herron. Andrew Johnson, President of the United States determinedto defeat the Constit ution- til-Amendment, which the Convention was expected to ratify. He had already deliv- ered the control of Louisiana into the hands of the Rebels above-named and their associates. They announced that the Con- vention should not be permitted to meet, They armed the old Rebel soldiers who com- pose the mob of New Orleans. The Presi. dent telegraphed to the commanders of the Federal troops not to interfere. And-then when this Convention met, on m: posed of men who had sacrificed everything for the Union in its darkest days of agony, —then, while federal troops stood with grounded arms, by Presidential orders, una- ble to interpose~-—then the “ Louisiana Ti- gers“ were let loose upon the Convention, hounded on by Rebel Generals whose hands were dripping with the blood of murdered Unionists shed during the war, and with mingled shouts for Andrew Johnson and Jet- ferson Davis yelled from the lips of the assas- sin's,the helpless victims were shot, stabbed dow‘n’snd trampled down,right under the Stars and Stripes flapping idly in the air above. We have no comments to make upon the story. We tell it self. was and leave the people to ponder upon the results of “my policy.” . N.» Encampment. We are informed that the annual encamp- ment of the militia of‘ this part of the State, will be held in East Bridgeport, in the rear of the Wheeler dt Wilson Factory, commen- cing on Monday, August 27th, and continu- ing six days.

Aleoander W. Randall, ' Sir .- Your circular for the call of the WILKES BOOTH CONVENTION to meet in Philadelphia on the 14th inst. has been duly received under the frank of the eminent Pennsylvanian Senator. I.suppose renegade for this early “smoking out” atten- tion. For this mark of extreme kindness he parent purposes of the call met my entire approval, but chaff is at a discount just now. No man unwilling to be deceived can mis- take thelatent object of the intended guiih ering rising as it. does from the ashes of the assassin. Had Wilkes Booth never lined, the Convention would never have been called. Now, every sympathiziug friend of his foul deed, from Maine to California indorses it! Every indulgent, conciliatory advocate of the interesting ceremony of bullying, blud- geoning and murdering public men (who ad- oocate the Rights of Man) approve it i Every patriotic resolver “that the war for the union isa failure” is in ecstacies over it! Every bitter secessionist, every fighting rebel in the terrible war that has cost this nation hun- dreds of thousands of lives and billions of money, every conniving traitor that has been struggling to tear down the Government that Washington planted and Lincoln saved, is singing peans of glory to it. And coco-y Prcsain the entire United States now adso- caling it, is obliged to excuse, pellets and de- fend the burnings, murders and massacres ic rebeldom. From all such sympathies, ten- dencies and operations, Mr. Randall, I-would most respectfully respond, “Good Lord de- liver me." My conscience, my manhood, is my own, to me they are of more value than any office on earth. You have my answer. . Briefly yours. _ . NOAH W. HOYT, P. M. P. S. Private—If our noble, sober, patri- otic, honorable and trustworthy President would but pardon Jeff in time to make him President of the convention, he would add another to the many grateful obligations he has already conferred upon the millions of loyal hearts who took him out of the grasp of Rebels and elevated him to the point where Booth and Atzerot swung him to pow- er and infamy. N. W; H. v<.>o WWe Were favored by a call, on Monday, from our old and patriotic friend Rev. B. K. Diossy, who has just returned hither from New Orleans. In regard to the recent New Orleans massacre of Union men, he gives the same version as is apparent to every one who has taken the pains to investigate the matter, to wit, that it was a deliberate cold- blooded butchery of respectable and influ- ential citizens, for no other cause than that of having been loyal to the government. We have not met a loyal man from the South during the past year, and ,we have met many, who have not averted that loyalty was the only crime made odious and punished, under the inspirings of “my policy.” ' «.»o———— Organ Concert. The M. E. Church of our sister village, South Norwalk, are to have an exhibition of their new Organ on Friday evening of‘ this week. We have been informed by Mr. Dis- brow, the Organist, that the Concert prom. less to be fine, and ought to be well attended by the music-loving citizens of this town. The organ is to be exhibited by Mr. Henry Eyre Brown, Organist Of the Anthon Me- morial Church, New York. All who have heard hlm‘perform, especially his pedal obli- gato's, think him a wonder, being young and talented. From the description of this young artist’s talents, we are certain every- body who attends the concert will be Well satisfied and feel as if they had received their money’s worth. For particulars see adver- tisement in 'another column. The Concert is to be interspersed with afew solos by ar- tists from New York. * ' .<.>. WOur worthy friend W. H.

WSLMary’s Sabbath School and the St. Joseph’s Benevolent Society had their annu- alPic-nic on Thursday last.

The workings of “my policy,” which bore such bitter fruits at Memphis, have culmina- ted again in the Crescent City, and some for- ty Union men have been murdered b'y an in- furiated rebel mob, for no other crjme than that they had been against treason and for the national Union. But sadder and more 'cruel even than these murders is the virtual endorsement of their crimes by Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. .‘.’.._.._‘__. V Concert. The Concert to be given at Lockwood’s Hall, on Wednesday evening, promises to be a very pleasing entertainment. Speaking ,of this club, the Stamford Adoocalesays: “We commend them to our Norwalk friends as a club of young men of rare musical talent.” We trust our people will give them a good reception. See Adv. v<.». er. C. B. D’Artois, the celebrated Ice Cream man astonished the printers, on one of the hot days last week, by sending in a large can-of Ice Cream. It was of very fine quality, excellent flavor, and perfectly deli- cious, and he has our most grateful thanks for his cool remembrance. He has no rival in this vicinity, and we have never found any better cream than his. He supplies cream to families and parties, at very reasonable rates indeed, and it seems strange any ladies should ever endure the annoyances and vex- ations of making Ice Cream, when they can obtain a superior article at so'cheap a rate. D’Artois is during a lprge and constantly in- creasing business, and we wish him contin- ued success. - .r<.D” BASE BALL—A match game of Base Ball between the “Stamford” Club, of Stamford, and the “Liberty” Club of Norwalk, was played on the grounds Of the latter club, in this place, on Friday afternoon last, result- ing in avictory for the Stamford Club.—.

Six names have been played between clubs of the two villages,and each village now claims an even number of victories. The game was well contested and interest~ iug. Mr. Ebbetts, of the N. Y. Active Club, pitched for the Stamford club, and little Joe Hatch, of South Norwalk, for the Liberty club. Of the Stamford club, Ebbetts played well generally, but made a bad score; Gay lor played poorly as catcher, but soon hurt his finger, and changed off with s. a, where he played well, and made the best score; good natured Daskam was fully conscious that he made a good first-baseman; Lock- wood and Langley (Williams) made excel- lent fielders, Lockwood especially; Hoyt proved an experienced catcher; the others played Well. Of llie.“Liberty Club,” Jake Gruman and the Chauncey Brothers, were deserving of' special mention.

WA sort of Lilliputiau war broke out early this (Monday) morning in the river bed in the rear of the premises of our vulcan friend, Austin. It seems, as near as we can get at the merits of the fierce aquatic con- test, that the Union Manufacturing 00., de- sire to increase their motive power by sink- ing their wheel, and to this end have been digging the bed of the river below their mill, when, coming upon the premises of Mr. Austin, 11: interposed a dam across the stream. It was to remove this obstruction that caused the sprinkling and finally the int- 172on of the contestants. There wasa lull in: the battle about seven a. m., and it was supposed an armistice would be agreed upon. Unless the more quiet and orderly processes of the law intervene to quell the disturbance, this war bids fair to eclipse the European quarrel in local importance. - _ ——-——Ov<.»&—-—— -WMIP.

W It will be remembered at the break- ing out of the war, how earnestly Conductor Bradley desired to lead an infantry regiment upon the rebel breastworks; failing in this patriotic purpose, we rejoice to learn that he is doing the next best thing, and if the future is as big with blessings as the past, he will be compelled to wait but a few years when he will be able to marshal a railroad detach- ment, ‘.‘to the manor born” But,'a,las, the noblest efforts of the most ambitions are of- teutimes eclipsed, and Concudtor Beach has “been and gone and got and done” two of the Infantry soldiers to friend Bradley's one! However, Busch probably ranks Bradley, in that he runs the Express train, and he gives assurance of his ability to maintain the (rig- nily of his position.

DEAR GAZETTE: Ono smart; trick was éuccessful— 1y played on one of the leading fishermen of our par- ty, ye merchant prince, too good to keep to our- selves. When the boats went down the bay Bluc fishing on Friday, he made a bet with one chap-in the boat that he, the prince, would catch the most fish in ten minutes. Arrived at the ground, a fish was caught, and, by a slight of haud'performancc of ' the Captain’s boy, who had been instructed by otli. ers of the party, the fish was fastened on the other man’s hook, let over the side of the boat and allowed to run out. was then pulled in by Chape, immediate. lv hooked on again by the boy and put over the side and again caught, this was kept up and Chape appar- ently caught six fish in ten minutes while poor Chol. only caught one. The party on their return- to the schooner succeeded by tipping the wink to the marker, in safely landing their fish without the Prince discovering the game that had been played on him. Asa matter of course he “blower!" a good deal upon his opponent's tall fishing, “six Blue-fish in ten minutes! Yes Sir.” He did not find out the trick until the next morning. when, his skipper, up- , Peering on board he took him down to breakfast, which so mellowed the skipper. that he in return in. formed Chol. of the trick'. The 'Prince was dumb~ founded, but owned up sold, like a man. A similar trick was attempted in anotherdioat, the some mom- ing on the J udgc, but he was too wary and was not to be caught. _ - While our hosts were Bluefishlng, another yacht- ing party under the renowned veteran. Captain Dun- ham. were out sharking ; they caught 24 large ones. twelve of‘ which they brought in and landed on the wharf a short. distance above as. Good sport that. Saturday evening we made Edgartowri, a neat, handsome and thriving little village on Martha's Vinyard Island- We here again met the yacht Man- ersing, with a party of New York and New Redford gents ; they insisted upon our visiting their yacht and entertained us in fine style, doing the honors in a way not to be surpassed by any. Their courtesy will not soon be forgotten. _ Sunday morning the Club attended in a body the M. E. Church and listened to a discourse from Chap- lain Swan; in the afternoon each member went to whatever church he‘preferred. several of as visited the CongregationalChnrch and listened to a fine ser- mon from the pastor, a smart and eloquent preacher The evening, after service.‘ was spent upon a de- lightful promenade the villagers have here, in the shape ofa long foot bridge extending from the land out into the harbor foi- nearly smile to Edgartown Light House ; it is one of the pleasantest and most charmingly cool prOmeuades that we know of, and when crowded with the elite of the village, most at- , tractive. Monday Morning we bade a very reluctant adieu to this charming village. with some hope of return- ing at night from the fishing grounds, but it was not to be, for after trying various fishing spots We squared away and made New Bedford at about dusk. Where all hands soon landed and enjoyed them- selves, each one after his own fashion. Your hum- ble servant wending his way across the long bridge which here spans the upper end of the harbor, and passing the evening with some of the fair ones of the village of Fair Haven, is enabled to report fairer treatment all around, that those who remained in the city, But we must not leave Edgartown with- out mentioning the wonderful success of our fish. ermsn ofi‘ that place ; they struck a large school of Mackerel, and in about an hours time they had caught some 90 of the fish and all hands for din- ner were treated to broiled fresh Mackerel ! Indeed, the Waters about Edgartown were found full of fish of all kinds, but principally, Mackerel, Blue Fish, Soup and Nibblers. ' . Tuesday we anchored in Cutty-hunkvbay and sent a party ashore to reconnoiter while'our fisherm on were out casting their lines, the result was, the fish- ermen returned loaded with Fish and the shore par. ty brought such flattering reports of charming, so- ciable young ladies ashore, that invitations Were sent for a gathering on board in the evening. which resultedin some 50 young ladies from shore and from an excursion yacht from Fair Haven, coming on board and spending a pleasant and lively' evening with us ; the Judge had plenty of Ice Cream to re fresh the party and Fox and Smith with their flutes furnished music for the dancing. It was an evening long to be remembered and Cutty-hunk will hence- forward have a pleasant niche in our memory. Wednesday night we made New London for a port and on landing found it about the neatest. and pret: tiest city we had yet stopped at, and we enjoyed a stroll through the city ; while here we were indebt- ed to our friends of‘ the Chronicle for courtesies shown us; also to several members of the Fire De. partment. . Thursday morning we left early homeward Bound. The wind blew a strong gale and a number of ves- sels after'proceeding down the harbor Went around and put back again, apparentlyafraid to try it ; we held on our course, hoping that the gale would en- able us to make a quick trip home, but after several hours blowing it blowed itself out and died away. Eventually a fresh breeze sprung up from another quarter enabling us to work our way homeward, so that we finally came t6 anchor ofi‘ our wharfat about 3 o‘clock, A. 11., Friday morning. Early Thursday evening we met a schooner brightly illuminated. caused by the bursting of one of her signal lights which they were aboutplaclng in the rigging and we thought for a few moments that we were to be treated to the sight of afire at see, but fortunately they were enabled to extinguish it before it could set the rig- ging on fire. A fewminutes later we ourselves were much startled by the sight of a large 300 ton schoon- er deeply loaded bearing directly down upon us and - apparently about to strike us amidshfps, but our Captain instantly gave the necessary orders to the man at the wheel to lufi‘ and the other vessel chang- ing her helm bore away and passed just astern of us. When fint seen, the schooner was some ways ahead of us on a course which did not threaten any danger, on getting near to us she suddenly lufi‘ed and at- tempted to cross our bows but was too near to do so and thus endangered us.~ It was a in narrow esp cape and we all breathed freer and felt thankful when we dropped her astern. , - All in all the cruise has been a very pleasant one, as much so we presume as any previous one ; the trip abounded with the quantity of mirth-provoking incidents usual on such a voyage. and which brough out “South-paw," (not Southvpan) “Sam," the “Cap- tain of the Gun” and others prominently befor'e the club and some of them, for instance the noisy man.

George Day, (and better skip- per party'never had,) we overhauled, passed and dis- tanced every thing in shape of a sail craft which we encountered (and there were many of them,) during the voyage with one exception, which is noted else where. . ,A One drawback to We pleasures Of trip was the fact, that after partaking of' the clam bake at Pasque Island several of our members were ' taken dov'vn quite sick, but all recovered with in _a day or two ex- cept our Commodore and even he could not hold out against the excellent mackerel fishing which we en- countered ofi‘ Edgnrtown for upon learning What was going on he soon made his appearance armed and equ pped, eager for the fray, and from that time for' word he was himself once more. _ With many thanks for kindnesses and good feel» ing shown by the members, I will end this simple outline record of the 8th Annual Cruise of the Gram- pus Club.

EDITORS: ‘ ' The Stamford Advocate has repeatedly stated, in speaking of Base Ball matters, that the Norwalk boys never played a fair game, but always “imported” 'players, and that their “first nine was always com- posed of their friends from other clubs,” &c., &c. In the match game, on Fridaylast, the “Liberty‘ ’ boys played a strictly Norwalk nine, throwing out their regular pitcher, J im- mv,HarwoOd, because-he resides in New Ha- ven. The “Stamford” nine consisted of a leading member-of the N. Y. “Active" club, as pitcher, (who formerly resided in Slam- f‘ord,) five Stamford men, and three “impor- tations." The Umpire—provided by the Stamford club,—was a member of the Active club, of whom we will say nothing. The, Norwalk boys .protested against these “imw portations,” but the Stamford club would make no changes, and “would play as they Were, or go home."

Much sickness undoubtedly, with children and ndutts, attributed” to other causes is occasioned by worms. The " VERMIFUGE Con- FITS." although efi'ectual in destroying worms. can do no possible injury to the most delicate child. This valuable combination has been successfully used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in eradicating worms, so hurtful to children. CHILDREN name Wouits requre immediate at- tention, as neglect of the trouble often causes pro- longed sickness. , Smalls of' Worms IN CHILDREN are Often over- looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause irritation, which can be removed only by the use of a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients used in making Brown’s " Vanni/“age Comflts” is such as to give the best possible efi‘ect with safety.
