The convention then adjourned sine die. won KING MEN'S MEETING A large and enthusiastic meeting of the working men of the city was held at the Fenian Hall, corner of Girod and Magazine streets, the president of the meeting, Mr. R. Burke, in '.he chair. Mr. J. M. G. Parker addressed the meeting as follows Fellow-citizens—-'Working men of New Orleans It was as unexpected as agreeable to me to be called on by the committee who summoned you together on Thursday even ing. On that evening I felt, and am hourly encouraged to believe that an expres sion of the scntiitent of the laboring men of this city, through an organization like this, would tend to the overthrow of a system of legislation and sale ot' contracts which I fear is unjust to you, and not only to you but to every tax-payer within this parish. In the language of the Commercial Bulletin of this morning, "All the money expended by the city for street cleaning by a superintendent or inspector of streets is expended among the laborers, amlTcturns in some shape to the taxpayers.'' I admit that "their money goes to their own advantage," but let me ask you, is this the case in any city where the contract system prevails? You all say no. and many of you can bear me out in say ing that in no city is the system worked more perniciously than h re. You ail know that here the system of contract- works more like the following, which the same paper gives as characteristic of the con tract system in some other cities Tiie contract system, during the war, be came so infamous that prominent Boston merchants were of opinion that no man of character could accept a government con tract without imputation of dishonor. Wo have somewhere seen a story of a shoddy army shoe contractor who, having been up braided because the soles of an infantry company came off' on the first day's march, excused himself by saying that "a/e»c cases of r ivalry shoes had got mixed with those of the iuikutry." The wrong and evil we may deprecate, but the contract system lias proven so com plete a failure that we are prepared lor almost any change. I have examined into this subject soine what since i was called on to act with you, and while 1 have nothing to saw against the legislators who passed the law, nor the board of common council who authorized the sale of contracts under the law. nor the controller who sold these contract.-, l ean see that, honestly done, aud at fair prices, there could be no great injustice in the system. But all systems are apt to become >tten when they 6ecome old. aud there can i no doubt, I think, that the contracts now sold are sold not only at ruinous prices, but, I fear, to persons, in some instances, could not fulfill them, except by cheat ing the city iu doing the work, or by griud ig down wages to so low a figure that you ould starve while doing it. But there is another subject to which I want to call your attention—that you will meet with very strong opposition to your movement from many sources, particularly from the contractors themselves, who. hav ing these contracts, will spend a portion of the vast amount of money they have already made, and sonic they expect to make, to bring some influence to bear to mislead you from your good work. They will promise your leaders office, will hue newspapers whose editors and proprietor* are ready for a contract, to denounce your cause, anu try to lead you out of the idea tint you have any sense. Not content with thi-, some of these papers will call you names, and urge to beware of Massachusetts and Maiue as in the Times of this morning. Let me say to you, be not deterred by bowlings of this kind. Barking dogs never bite. Stand shoulder to shoulder. A.-k respect fully. persistently, and courageously to be allowed to do this work by the day, for a fair day's pay. I assure you that 1 have >o much conildeuce iu the moral worth and determination of the gentlemen composing the board of aldermen oi this city that I be lieve that in so far as they have not ap proved these coutracts they will heed your prayer aud not approve them and so much confidence iu the will of the honorable may of this city to deal justly with all classes, that I can almost say to you he will veto the contracts if presented to him for approval. Gentlemen, having another engagement this evening I am compelled to leave you. as you have begun. Act wisely your part God will take care of the worthily destitute. Addresses were also made by Hon. Patrick Harnau, Alderman Moore, Recorder Letten, Wm. R. Miller, aud others. The following resolutions were presented by Hou. P. Harnan of the committee, and w'-re unanimously adopted. Whereas, The common council of the city of New Orleans, with a total disregard tor the necessity of economy ia tiie expen ditures for public work-, did authorize the city controller to stll the contracts for cleaning and repairing the streets of this city for a term of three years; and. Whereas, The controller has recently sold these coutracts at exorbitantly high rates; and Wa«ttKA«, The lettinu- of this work to con tractors wilUitirc the «licet of forcing dowu the nriro of u ilaj's work iu consei|Uouee of placing the control of tho subject iu the hand* of n few men; therefore be it Uetolced, That tho working men of the city of New Orleans earnestly protest against the whole system of selling contracts, deeming tne statutes and ordinances on the subject fouuded in injustice ti our rights aud iuterssts. JUitulcel. That we believe that the state ments of the street commissioner, recently sent to tiie heard of aldermen, that this work can be done better and cheaper by the city authorities than by tho intervention of third parties who expect to make large fortuiu s out of the same to be fouuded In common sense and good policy. AVsshv.i. That in our judgment there no necessity at this time for contracting for public «ork of this nature for so long a period as titree years; but, pn the contrary, owiug to the high price of material conse quent upon the great depreciation ol the city currency, such a measure is highly detrimental to the public interests. Itesolced, That the common council be urged to reject all contracts now pending for confirmation, and that the mayor be re quested to veto all that may be presented to him for his approval. Rtsohed. That in the present condition of the public credit this is no time to Incur liabilities fur extravagant expenditures of the public funds, and that no engagements should be entered into except those of the most pressing character. RetoirM, That the workiug men of New Orleans will sustain the mayor in his oppo tition to the sale of these city contracts. RaolctdL, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to esch board of the common coun cil, aid to his honor Mayor Heath, and that they lie published in the New' Orleans Re publican. Mr. J. Burke presented the following re solution. which was adopted: Resolved That the New Orleans Times has by its unwarranted attack on General Cyrus Hamlin, who so ably addressed us on Thursday evening last, and its uncalled for abuse of Mr. J. M. G. Parker, who so kindly assisted us in the formation of this associa tion, merited the condemnation of the laboring classes of this city. The meeting adjourned, to meet at the same place on Wednesday evening next, when a report will be received of the action of the common council. Tin: TAX OX OHOHS SALES. Important Opinion of Attorney General. We are Indebted to Mr. H. Peralta, state auditor, for a copy of the correspondence between him aud the attorney general on the effect of the recent decision of the supreme court in the case of the State v.*. 8. II. Kennedy Co.: Auditor's Office, State of Louisiana, Now Orleans, June 14. J8b7. Hon.j B. L. Lynch, Attorney General of the State Sin—1 iiave the honor to submit to your consideration the inclosed published de cisions rendered by both the sixth district court of this* city and the supreme court, in the case of the 8tate of Louisiana vs. S. H. Kenuedy Co., aud to beg being informed whether under these rulings the law of April 4th. 1865, remains absolutely inopera tive. or whether it.* provisions are still sus ceptible of being enforced in cases in which a change in the ownership or in the con dition of the merchandise has takeu place iu the State. There exist in Louisiana large mercantile houses that purchase for their own account, within and without the State, imported goods, which they keep more or less in the same form until au opportunity offers itself for selling the same in the original or iu a different condition. Trusting that you will please give this matter your earliest attention, anu commu nicate to me the desired information, I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. PERALTA, State Auditor. Orrn i Ne Gf.nei 10 15, lion. 11. Peralta, Statu Auditor: Sir—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed favor of the 14th lust., in which you express a de-ire to be informed whether if, under the decision of th preme court of this State, iu the case of the State of Louisiana vs. S. H. Kennedy A C the law of April 4th. 1865, remains absolute ly inoperative or if its provisions are stil susceptible of being enforced in cases ii which a clmuge iu the ownership or in tin condition of the merchandise has taken place in the State. Section three of the art of the legislature to which you have referred, reads as fol lows Be it further enacted, etc., that there shall be assessed and collected the sum of one quarter of one per cent, on the annual gross sales or receipts of each and every person pursuing any trade, profession, or occupa tion whose annual receipts exceed the sum of $2000." This section literally and rigidly con strued is universal in its application find extends to all annual gross sales without distinction. Since, however, the supreme court of this State has declared that section unconstitutional so lar as it applies to the cases referred to in the opinion of the court, a proper interpretation of the statute will justify you in regarding section three as embracing the two following classes for assessment, viz: First—An assessment on the annual gross sales of property belong ing to non-residents of Louisiana," brought into the State for sale; aud second, an as sessment on the annual gros-* sales of property belonging to residents of Louisi ana ami there sold. An assessment against the first mentioned cla-s lias been held by the supreme court of this State to be in violation of the constitu tion of tin* United States, but this declared unconstitutioualitv cannot have the effect of rendering the law unconstitutional in its application to the second class. A statute unconstitutional in one of its provisions is not necessarily so in it- entire ty. That portiou of the statute which is in opposition to the organic law must be held to oe voi 1, and that part «»f it in harmony with the constitution must have effect. This is the rule of interpretation as applied by the courts—a rule which should more rig idly obtain in the interpretation of revenue statutes having for their object the provid ing ot means for the support of the State. It is therefore my opinion that tiie law of April 4, 1865, is not absolutely inoperative, but that in relation to assessments on the lal gross sales of property belonging to residents of Louisiana, and there sold, itlias full force and effect, not being in antagon to the decision of the supreme court in the case of the State of Louisiana vs. S. H. Kennedy A Co. Very respectfully, etc.. B. L. LYNCH. Attorney General. The South lu 18»e York Tribune. BY TELEGRAPH. FHOM WASHINGTON THE RECONSTRUCTION ACT. OPINION OF TIIE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We publish elsewhere a straightforward, manly letter from General Longstreet, which proves that there is one prominent ex-rebel who takes a common sense view of the situation. Ilo-declares in unequivocal language that the principles of the Democratic party died with the surrender of General Lee, and that Republican principles are now the law' of the land. In other words, that the doctrine ot State rights a- interpreted by southern statesmen, per shed iu the late 'conflict iu which the south appealed to the sw'onl the last argument to which king-, re sort"), and the sword decided in favor of the north, ami that it is the duty of the south to abandon ideas that are obsolete aud conform to the requirements of the law. During the war General Longstreet was. next to Jackson, the most brilliant and pop ular of all the rebel generals. It is the com mon testimony of all prisoners who lell into hi* hands that taev were uniformly treated with kindness while in his charge. H«* was a bold, generous, honorable soldier as long as there was anything left to tight for. and now in his honest submission to the powers that be. he displays the pralsworthy quali ties of a good citizen. That his views will be indorsed by a large majority of his late comrades in arms is un questionable: indeed the men who did the lighting have already for the most part ac cepted in good faith the logical consequence of their defeat. It is not the ex soldier ele ment that is delaying reconstruction in the south, but the "scurvy politician*," the Blacks, the Sharkeys, the Perrys, the stay at-home heroes who got fat contracts aud safe situations in the rebel civil service, and sedulously kept away from the front or where there was the slightest prospect oj danger—these are the unsubdued'patriots who proclaim that the war has settled nothing, and are still clamoring for their rights under the constitution." One of the most favorable signs of the time* is the fact that the great mass of the southern people have lost all faith in the power of th«' Democratic party to help them. They have fed upon the unsubstan tial diet of Democratic promises till aunt famine stared them in the face. They have followed the treacherous ignis fatuus till it led them dangerously near to tho swamp of confiscation aud in view of the stupendous delusion of its promised aid during the war, and the way it has hum bugged and betrayed them since, they may well begin to light shy of it, aud ask whether, after all. it is a living reality or only a foul spectre. 1s t a corpse stack up for show. Galvanized at times to go With the scripture in mnnection New proof of the resurrection Vampire, ghost or shoal, what is it I would walk ten miles to urns it." But while the northern Copperhead press— the "friends of the corpse"—seem deter mined that the South shall not miss it Idle they continue to dress it up in the habiliments of life, proclaim that it "stiU lives." and persist in keeping it before the people, with a marvelous reliance upon, iguorance aud a touching faith in human credulity, it is refreshing to find a repre sentative man of the south who is henest enough to tell his countrymen that thia Democracy which has so long deluded them with a semblance of life is at last hopelessly dead and must be buried. The throwing off this incubus, the cutting loose from this dead carcass, is of itseif a. lonir step toward permanent reunion. It ia a decided gain to be willing to look realities in the face, to throw' aside prejudice and frankly accept the inevitable, to acquiesce in the Will of the majority as expressed b▼ congress in the military bill and :yuena ments. Ail this indicates a returning pood sense from which we may augur the best results.— f'Uicago Post. _ Rule* and Forms^ in Bankruptcy.— Tha delay in issuing the rules prescribed for practice iu the courts of baukrupty by the publishers iu Washington has prevented anv action on the pending applications.

The knite uv the sore eyes wood tilt again the knite uv the cropped ears; til.- knite uv the bandy legs would run a course and be glorified again the knite uv the released chief, ior its benefits, and the eiueeus of love aud beauty wood bid em more fervently than ever before, to lay the fish poles in "rest and run their course at tiie iugv rubber teething rings and do their devours manfully in sich a cause.

In fact the coz uv the ill success the institoot hez met with thus far may be found in the fact that there haint bin nobody connected with it but me. The southern democrisy don't take to me kindly coz they see me every day—the northern democrisy liev no confidence in me becuz ther know I was originally oue uv Its name, indieiatin as it does, that that the instiutbm admits the tjee uv nigger equality. —This obieclnhtn kin ho easily an sered. The name w uz, originally, the southern niilitarv and claeslkle iustitoot,'' and the Ham expressed fairly its objects. That's it yit. an 1 nothin snorter. The change uv title wuz strategy. The change wuz Pickwickian In tin most comprehen sive no an in uv the word. It wuz done tor effect upon tl Ethiopian. They hev votes in the Slat.-* which supported yoo iu your effort to perpetuate m reliably into their normal coudi-hon, and it wuz deemed neces sary to conciliate em. I need not say what a trial it wuz for out people to forego the ecstatic doliie uv wallopln uv em, and wut agony in wuz to bo forced, by circumstances over wich we had litrally no controle, to re cognize em. even iu fun, ez ekals, but wc bed to do it.

Yoo must do ez I hev done—hev faith and take wat comes. I hev had con* tribooshens as low as ten cents, and that even in counterfeit postal currency, wich wuz no objeckshen to it down here, ez among our people it passes z well ez any. I hev lived on it lor some time—the iusti toot hez eked out the liviu afforded me by the offis I hold from the government. Ef con tribooshens shood be in sufficient for yoor support after my livin is taken out, wat uv it Is Johnson dead, aud does Wade reign iu his stead? I)o vou hev any idea that he wood let you suffer? Is ther not a sinecoor for yoo ez well cz for me Is ther a Con fedrit officer, who wood accept it, who is not provided with a posishen uv some kind Hevin provided generously for every one uv the principal sufferers in the late fratricidal struggle on the Confedrit side, is it probable that he wood make yoo an excepsheu lev ansered all the objections to the place wich yoo kin urge, and I beg leave to state some uv the reasons why you should accent: A full yeer intervenes before the meeting uv the democratic uashnl convenshen, and before you kin be finally inoggarated.

For rest did it and he succeeded so well in mas terin his nateral proclivities that ef I re member ritely, he he/, killed but two niggers he reverently folded up the stars and bars. Longstreet hez did it. Price he/, did it aud so h« z all uv em. Lee has done it bet ter than a.*y uv them. Ther's suthing pecoolyerly tittiu in the cheeftian uv a un successful "rebellion," ez the northerners call our struggle for our rites, takin the presidincyuv a college, in seakin shelter in acedemic groves, in trainin noble young he led, and in uittin cannon from the government to teach em artillery practis. That's the dodge for yoo. We haint got the acedemic grove for yoo to walk pensively in at the twilite hour, arnusin onto the event ful pa-t, but we kin easily move that corner stun into one. That corner stone is ez easily shifted ez the democracy. There's another reason why yoo shood do it. The edjucashnel interests o'' the South shood be entrusted to them as knows how to manage em, and to edjucate. We don't want il too common. Its too much power. I know the power ther is in it. I'm about the only one here who kin rite—were ther more it would hurt my standin. Look at wat miscellaneous educashen has done lor the North. Noo England is a cloud bustin with educashen, and that cloud hez swept over the North, and all over that country its drops hev fell in tin shape uv school-, academies, and colleges Consekentlv, ther's no dimocracy ther, aue things are all foreign to our concep tions of what is right and proper: neverthe less she thought otherwise, and it is the fundamental principle of Protestantism to leave every oue free to work out his souls purification in the way he finds most suit able of this kina were ft _ of to es

Her mortifications of this kina were ft secret known only to herself, and she always discouraged penances which lowered the tone of the bodily health and incapacitated the sisters for endurance. During the hours of recreation she was one of the merriest ol the merry—the would sing a lively song, tell a funny story, and relate her early ex periences in the world to the delight ol all who heard her, and she would write merry letters, iu rhyme, to the bisters iu other con vents. A Poet in Troi bi.e.—A strange incident occurred at the Colosseum in Rome on holy Wednesday. A procession ot penitents, headed by Cardinal Pitra, bearing across, went there to hear a ser man by a Monsiguor Bastide, a prelate of the court, attracting to the place an immense crowd, which, being composed chiefly of Zouaves aud other for eigners, Monsignor Bastide addressed in French. In iho midst of the discourse a man appeared in the amphitheatre above, gesticulating and declaiming with great vehemence. It »ai Drought that he was mocking the preacher, and a wild rage seized the Zouaves, who flew up the steps aud clambered ou the top ol the arches to drag him down, wliile the fanatics below railed on them to dash him to thegronnd. The Zouaves, however, vociferated that he -Would he crucified on tiie (treat cross in the centre of the area: and the} were proceeding to c irry out this design, when the preacher interposed, demanding that the offender be given over to the luquisition. Thus the poor man was rescued at least from being torn to pieces, if not a more cruel death. He turned out, on inquiry, to be a poet, who, coming suddenly ou the full view of the ruin, and being overpowered by its grandeur and beauty, burst iuto a rhapsody, after the fashiou of the poets of Spain, his native country. In the fervor ot nis inspi ration he overlooked the congregation be low. _____ Religion is like a diamond—valuable aud beautiful when, seen, but worth nothing when buried from view. 11.amps do not talk, but they shine.

The editor of the Wyandotte (Kansas) Pi oneer, of last week, publishes three mar riage notices, and appends the following apt. terse, and expressive editorial to each of them: No cake.'' Bridget Dergen, on trial for the past ten days, in Brunswick, New Jersey, for the murder of Mrs. Coriell, at New Market, some months ago, was found guilty of mur der in the first degree. The committee of the French legislature on the army bill has demanded of the gov ernment that the effective force of the army be fixed at 800,000 men. The exemption fee has been reduced to 2500 francs. The latest announcement of the intended visit to Paris of a crowned head is that of the shah of Persia, Naspo-ed-din. son of Mohammed Shah, to whose throne lie suc ceeded iu ISIS.

Volunteer firemen would die of disgust m Florence. In the memory of that well in formed gentleman, the oldest inhabitant, there ha- been but one fire that amounted to anything. Running w ith the machine may be slow work in Italy. Great excitement was caused in Montreal on the queen's birthday by the appearance of a French flag over the courthouse. There was a suspicion of Fenianism and disloyalty, biu investigation showed that it w-as all the result of a mistake on the part of the keeper of the premises. On emigrant steamers and ships it is said to be a constant practice to compel the steerage passengers to take air and exercise on deck uy heating a shovel aud placing cayenne pepper thereon, the fumes causing a general skedaddle from the confined quar ters below. The Army aud Navy Journal has an in geniour- wav of calling a man a liar. In speaking oi General Baker, it described him as one of those decorative men who make it a point of honor never to let a story lose anything by passing through their artistic hands." The Liberals havejeained another import ant victory in the house of commons, ais amendment depriving all boroughs having less than 10,000 inhabitants of the right of sending a representative having been car ried by the large majority of 127. The abolition of the rotten boroughs will be a latal blow at the influence of the Tories upon the elections. upon the elections. The tone of the French and Prussian jour nals seems almost to justify the mol. The latter arc especially irritating aud peremp tory. They unanimously agree upon two propositions: "Prnssi, will evacuate Lux uraDourgwlien she jo'lses that it cau be done with safety." France must now stop her armaments."In oilier timea," says the li-t-mr Xahonal, this must' would have seemed a little hard." it is stated that iu a letter which he lately addressed to the English minister at Flor euce, (hiribaldi formally set forth his title to the governorship of Rome, to which office lie states himself to have been elected by the Roman people in iatfi-3, aud lrom which high estate ho denies that lie has ever been legally deposed. In the eyes of I'ari bahli, the pope is a'mere usurper, aud his position as a temporal sovereign logically untenable. Bayard Taylor espressos himself, in his last letter from Europe, as satisfied that oar American landscape art at present, is on a par with that of any European nation— certainly much above that of Germany. With the exception of Andreas and Oswald Achenbach, he knows of no landscape painters who could compete with Xensott. Gifford, Church, and McEutee, in represent ing both the body aud the soul of nature. But these, fortunately, are of no school. A preliminary payment on the Dunder; berg was made, it Is said, about a fortuiguk ago. There is reason to believe that the builders will realize from three to three and a quarter millions of dollars. It is under stood that the purchase of one of the smaller United States iron clads, now in European waters, has been completed for the earn* government, and that further sums of ex change, equivalent to 200,000 sterling are 80*011 to be drawn on this account. Hon. Abraham H. Howland, formerly mayor of New Bedford, died in that city Friday even iug, aged sixty-five. BIr.
