DEAIH OF ABTHUE TAPPAH.
We have published the brief announce
ment of the death of this vencrabh
alia, which occurred at New Haven,
Connecticut, on Sunday last; but as oni
o:' the founders of the abolition party ii
tnis ' ountry, the history of his life istoi
Interesting and important to be thu
•ammarlly dismissed. Although hi
was never very prominently before tin
world, yet he exercised a gieat influ
cue. for many years, and may be Justl;
lookeii upon as one of the leaders in man
v actuiingand moulding that powerfu
public opinion, which has finally led t<
t:ie c.-tiiictiou of slavery in the Unittt
Slates. At an early age, he becam
Btroiii'ly prejudiced against the eysten
of slavery In the South, and throughou
his whole life he showed a consistent
and maniy devotion to his prinolfSt j
that must excite the admiiation of hi
bitterest oppouenta aud cnemiea. _ohi
devotloti to tlie one idea of aloi
tion, ho v;ts ready to siiciifice, an.
did ir-fci cinly JeopardiM his owi
peisonal interests and Safety. Goin;
tj New York in ISI4, as the activ.
psrioer in an extensive and lucrativ
busine-.s, hehoon became one ofthe lead
ing merchants of that city, honored aliki
for his honesty, Integrity, industry, an.
the high standard of social aud mercan
tile morality ha inculcated and enforced.
But ins besetting siu was abolitionism
and in those days to bo an abolitionist
miion'the people of Gotham, was to U
a'Jew among the true believers. Suci
heretics could not be tolerated, whei
even in Boston men were mobbed ant
halters placed around their necks, OL
th.- mere suspicion that they entertain*.
" ■ leal to lately. What iapii

Miuii t ..and, that was then but just ris- j
in;r above thecastern horizon, continued J
to grow In size and spread out over tht 1
face of the heavens, till the whole firma
ment was obscured; and then, thefierct
lightning flashes, and loud rollingof tin
tbundg| light up the scene and shoki
the soTO earth for a time—to clear uj.
again, and leave thesky serene as before;
but t!ie abolition idea had triumphed.
The blro.l of the martyrs had again be
come the feed of the church, and tbi
world w«3 again warned that nopowci
on earth could itay the triumphal.,
march of ideas founded in truth and jus
tice. Opposition to slavery was consul
tred a sin, for which there wasnopardoi:
in thoM day*, and ns 3lr. Tappan was
the principal supporter of the idea hi
New York, and pleached it vrhenevei
Opportunity offered, he soon rendered
hiniseii very obnoxious, to the pro-slav
ery men and interests of the city, and
especially »o about the year 1833, when
the South Carolina nullification excite
ment was at its height. One of the
principal charges agaiust him about this
time was his payment of a thousand dol
lars line which had been imposed on
Wm. Lloyd Garrison, in one ofthe Bos
ton C >urts, for uttering a gross and ma
licious libel against the owner of thi
slave ship Francis.
In 1827, Mr. Tappan, in connection
-with other gentlemen, established tbi
Journal of Commerce as an abolition
organ, nnd, strange to say, its flrst cdi
tor \v„s from Norfolk. Think of that.

OB.G-.H-ZA-KW OF CON-BEBB.
Much political interest now centers ln
the organization of the next Congress.
Up to 1863 there was no rule established
to define the duties ofthe Clerk holding
over, who had the power to do pretty
much as he pleased in the matter of ad
milting persons presenting themselvei
as in niber. to participate in the organ i
zatiou of the House, -tis sort of "com
mon consent" arrangement lodged ai
Imm-use amount of power in the handi
of the Clerk, who, if he felt so disposed
pitfiU m it arbitrarily, or W further his
)Wti, or the purposes of other interested
mrtit9. In ISG3, the Rcpnlilican party,
earing that Emerson Etheridge, who
vas then Clerk, would sell them out to
he democratic minority, if left to the
uidniice of his own will, passed a law
ixing the duties and eircuiiiscribingthc
lowers ofthe Clerk. This law provide.
hat before the meeting of Congress the
Jlerk of the next preceding Congress
.hall makearoll of Representatives elect,
md place thereon the names of all per
■>ons, and ofsuch persons only, whose
credentials show that they were regular
ly elected in accordance with the laws of
their States respectively, or the laws ol
the Uuited States.
This law makes Mr. McPherson, the
clerk of the old House, the judge of the
, correctness and legality of the creden
tials of every member applying to be
mrolled upon the roster of the new
House. Let us see how this wfll effect
he South. If the several Southern
States elect lepiesentativ.s, and they
reach Washington beiore the first Mon
[ lay In December, they at once repair to
lie office of the clerk, present their cre
lentials and ask to be enrolled. If he
i 'bjects on any ground whatever, then
they cannot I% admitted, tot ke part in
.he organization of Congress, and will
mveto bide their time, till the House
lectea Speakerand their credentials can
>c acted upon. On the other hand,
hould be enroll their names, they will
. enabled to take their teats on an
quality with all other members, and
rill be as firmly fl-cd ns any of them—"
or they will have an equal vote on the
•portof the committee on ciedentials,
c that report: what it may. Should it
: .c averse to the admission of tbeSouth

j vill be a'oie, very likely, with the aid of
aeir Northern friends, to vote it down,

EICHMOND EIECT.O-.
The TTTitpsays the election pa3s.dof_!
.•.ry quietly in that city on Tuesday.
There was a good deal of electioneering
.ustle, but no unseemly excitement.
The interest of the community was
•hiefly centered in the contest for Mayor
; nd Sheriff. The election for Mayor re
ultcd in the choice of N. A. Sturdivant,
.y a majority of 614 over hiscompetitor,
iVm. Taylor. The only difference in
:he political status ofthe candidates, that
.vo can hear of, was that Mr. Stijrdivant
.vas abetter and 'nore useful Confede
rate during the war than Mr. T_.vloi-;
<ut this may not prevent him from ma
ting a good Mayor. Wa trust that he is
iow a perfectly loyal citizen. Home men
| hat were Boldici. and officers in the
i ebel army, will prove truer to thecoun-
I :ry and more trustworthy than those
I >vho remained quietly athonie and were
content to vent their spleen against the
government at a safe distance from the
,-annon's mouth. Still it cannot be de
lied that Mr. Stiu'divant's popularity
greatly enhanced by the fact that he
iad been a Major in the Confederate am
y, while Mr. Taylor's prospects were
equally damaged by his avowal on the
:vo of the election that he had always
:een a firm Union man, and consistent
ippouent of the rebellion.
The following are the successful can

South America.
Tlie news from the South American
Republic is said to be interesting, from
tbe fact that they are most of them at
war. We think it far from being news.
It would be news, indeed, if any of them
were at peace. They are fighting now
like fiends in Pern aud t'sewhere; are
trying hard to get into a war with Eng
land.
The Steamer Ocean Queen has arrived
from Aspinwall with Important news. -
At Guayaquil, Ecuador, the President
Garcia Moreno has seized an English
steamer of the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company, while landing, and having
driven the officers nnd crew ashore at
thepoint of the bayonet, placed troops
and cannon and other munitions of war
aboard, and steamed for the mouth of
the river, where the revolutionists were
lying at anchor in the vessels seized
from the Government
She ran into one of these vessels, cut
ting her amidships to the water's edge
and sinking her. After a short engage
ment the others surrendered, the bulk of
tbe people aboard, including the leader,
Urlina, making their escape into the
woods. The prisoners were brought to
Guayaquil and27ofthem instantly shot.
After this Moreno started for Tumbes,
where he expected to capture more vic
tims. After his return t<> Guayaquil, the
President returned the steamer to the
captain, who received her under protest,
and got at the same time twenty thou
sand pounds for thee days' services of
the vessel. The seizure is still an open
question, having been referred to the
manager of the company at Callao. The
Presideut holds that under some old law
spoken of by Vattell he had a right to
take the vessel, and the British Consul
appeared to agree with him.
The United States double-ender gun
boat Suwance arrived at Panama, with
news from Callao to the Gth.
The rebellion in Peru appears to gain
ground. On the sth a bloody engage
ment occurred six miles from Lima, be
tween 12,000 rebels and 0,000 Govern
ment troops, in which the latter was
successful, taking prisoners 100 men and
_j officers, besides the killed.
A few days previously a mutiny broke
out aboard the flag-ship Amazon, block
ading Arica. The mutineersgained pos
session of the ship, under direction of
the officer of the deck. The Admiral
General, Panizo, was shot in his cabin,
and afterwards hanged from the yard
arm. The mutineers afterwards decoy
ed the captain of the America, and cap
tured his vessel. This is the ship re
cently sent out from England. They
also captured the Tumbes, leaving the
Governmtnt with only two vessels of
real service.

From the Valley of Virginia.
A gentleman from tbe Valley of Vir

with the following:
The com crop of that part of the
Valley of Virginia lying between Win

very fine, and the crop will be large-
Above Winchester there is much desti

A Horrible Affair.—The following
is from the Memphis Bulletin, of the
17th: "A horrible affair occurred at a
barbacue at Harris School, Olive Branch,
De Soto county, Mississippi, on Satur
day. A party of ten men, under a young
man named Payne, made an attack upon
Mr. James C. Brown. He tried to es
cape as soon as he found the party there,
but was shot with a double-barrelled shot
gun. He then turned upon his assail
ants, and fought them until shot the
tenth time. His wife, whilst trying to
protect her husband, was shot through
the shoulder. Miss Collins, who was
present at the barbecue, was shot through
the heart. Mr. McClure was also badly
wounded. Brown shot oneof the Paynes
through the shoulder and arm. After
they had shot Brown until he was dead
they came up to him and broke two pis
•tbls over his head. The party then
mounted their horses, threw out a rear
guard, and left for parts unknown.

A Significant Straw.—A corres
pondent writing from Alabama tells the
folio* ing:
"On the train were two ladie9 from
Decatur in company with a major and
lieutenant. They seemed to be very
proud of their ga'lants, and paid no at
tention to their oh! rebel friends. This
at once excited jealousy in the minds of
their dupes.
"I see there's two of our ladies subju
gated," said a recent rebel major to me.
"Do you know them?" said I.
"Waal, I reckon I do," said he. "They
were the worst secesh women I ever saw;
and I have often heard them declare
they would never smile upon a man who
did not go into the Confederate army.
O, ho, so it is—friends in prosperity, ene
mies in adversity.'"
A Seedy Republic—Gen. Sickles,
who has just returned from his South
American mission, reports that in the
republic of Columbia the State rights
doctrine has run to seed. The relation
of the Federal government to the States
Is one of entire neutrality. If a revolu
tion occurs In one of the States, the gov
ernment cannot interfere, but must re
cognize tlie party that triumphs. The
presiding officer of the Senate corres
ponding with our vice-President of the
Republic, is elected once a month! The
Speaker of the House is chosen for the
same term. The Chief Justice of the
.Supreme Court holds his office for a sin
gle term of Court. Suffrage is univer
sal, Indians and negroes having equal
rights. There is no prejudice against
color; many of the physicians, army
officers and judges being blacks.

Mutinous Conduct of the One Hundred
and Sixty-Fifth New York Zouaves.
[From the Charleston Couri.-irJ
We are indebted to Captain Lewis, of
the steamer Fannie, for copies of the
Charleston Courier of July 18, from
which we make extracts:
We regret tn learn that the Ono Hun
dred ami Sixty-fifth Regiment New-
York Volunteers (Durven's Zouaves',
since the part taken by them in the late
disturbances, and their subsequent re
moval to Morrissisland, have exhibited
a very unbecoming, if not mutinous
spirit of insubordination.
This unsoldierly and inexcusable con
duct on the Mrt of veterans, more par
ticularly, called forth a peremptory or
der from General Gillniore, who, a vete
ran soldier himself, exacts the strictest
discipline of his command, taking away
the colors of the Zouaves.
In accordance with this order Generals
Hatch and Bennett, accompanied by
their respectivehtalis,proceeded last week
to Morris Island for the purpose indica
ted. The orderof GeneralGillmore was
read to the colonel in command of the
Zouaves, an A the colors demanded. The
colonel refused to obey the order to de
liver up his colors. He Mas thereupon
placed iv close arrest, the order made
known to the second officer in command,
and a similar demand made upon him
for the colors. This ofllcer, at first, also
gave a flat refusal. To this Gen. Hat'-h
explained to him the consequences of
bis refusal, and defined the difference
between disobedience of orders, of which
his superior officer, the colonel, had been
guilty, and mutiny, with which he, as
the subordinate, would be charged.
The officer after this explanation pro
mised to deliver the colors. The guard
was formed, and maiched to the boat,
but upon reaching it were found to be in
possession of the staffs and rubber, but
no colors. The' ruse did not succeed.
On its discovery, General Bennett was
ordered by General Hatch to take a de
tachment ofthe Forty-seventh Pennsyl
vania Regiment and disarm the whole
Zouave Regiment. The regiment was
marched into Fort Wagner, the guns
having been previously loaded with
grape and canister, and trained on the
parade ground. The parapet was mann
ed by the Forty.seventh .Pennsylvania
Regiment and a detachment of the
Third Rhode Island Artillery. Their
orders were in case of any resistance to
fire on the mutinous troops.
The Zouaves, seeing all further oppo
sition useless, quietly stacked their arms
and marched out of the fort. The offi
cers and men were marched uuderguard,
on board asteamer which conveyed them
to Fort Sumter, there to expiate, under
a broiling sun, the crime of resistance to
constituted authority.

" Fire-Eaters" Going to Leave
the South.—A correspondent writing
from Alabama, says:
There is another class, consisting of
the original "fire-eaters, "last ditch"
men, who say they cannot and will not
remain in the _oufh or a country where
the negroes are free, and who are anx
ious to dispose of their property to ob
tain the means of leaving. Quite a num
ber of these In the States of South Caro
lina, Georgia and "Alabama, are discuss
ing the plan of organizing a company ot
the "first families of tha South," and
emigrating to Brazil, where they can
once more own negroes and live undent
slave Government! Others talk of go
ing to Cub.-, for the same purpose, and
are ottering their lands at a sacrifice
Most of these people arc embraced in
that class who are continually harping
upon the worthli'ssricss and Idleness 01
tuo freedmen and the impossibility oi
raising cotton with free labor. My'im
pression is, that when they sec their
neighbors prospering under the new sys
tem they will change their minds, and
eont.nu. to remain a while longer in the
country.
