Hon. Daniel W. Voorheaa, of It., whose
speeches against the nomination of One-
ley no highly .delighted ft few Southern
Democrat*, accepts the situation like ft
men true to bU party, and now forcibly
advocate* the election• of Oreelfty. In the
following extract from bit apeeoh on the
18th, accepting the Demoorfttio re-nomi
nation for Congressman, he adminietere a
quiet hot well-aimed rebuke to thoae who,
faillog to control the oonfee of the Demo-
cratio party, now seek to elog ita program
in the path it baa chosen :
To those who hare so warmly ooinclded
in opinion With uie on the propriety of
Mr. Greeley** Nomination, and their name
ia legion, let uie say that the Democratic
party is Infinitely preferable, in my judg
ment, even with Horace Greeley as its
candidate, to that portion of the Kapubli-
can party which acknowledges the leader-
ship of Grant and the profligate managers
by which be in led on to bia own and his
country'* ruin. No thought of recreancy
or infitelity to the Democratic party ever
entered mv mind. Aa I cannot oontrol its
councila, I shall submit to them, hoping
that time may *how iU ways to be wiser
and nin e beneficial to the country than I
predicted. He who cannot have his own
way in thin world, ia not, therefore, in my
opinfoo, justified in doing nothing. He
can,, without iaoonaiatenoy, concede that
others may be* more enlightened than him-
eelf on the points at issue, and giva their
plana a fair trial.
Policeman Wrye, of Ifaoon, was badly
shot, on Saturday, by a notorious negro
ohfcksn thief, named Charles Collins,
wham lie had arrested and was conveying
to tbo burraoka. He had searched ths ne
gro, and fonnd no pistol, and it ia believ
e<l that a colored man who assisted in the
searoh soeretiy gate Collins the pistol,
with Which, on their way to the barracks,
Ho shot the officer in the bead, and then
escaped: The ball entered th# left jaw,
.-knocking out a tooth, and entered the
bftad, and though Wrye appeared to be
comfortable, the wound is considered dan-
.gerous to life.
The Bibb county Democratic Conven-
lion, on Saturday, ratified the nominations
of Greeley and Brown, and endorsed the
admiuifctration of Governor Smith, by a
Unanimous vote.
• Rx-Gov. Brown, in a card of the 80th,
state* that there is a “oopfliotof memo
ry" between himself and Col. J. O. Nich
ols; bat that “Gen. Toombs cannot
. shield his poltroonery in that way," aa he
had Browu’s agreement in writing to give
.. him satisfaction in the way ha might de
mand.
The New York Express says it has the
authority of Mr. Greeeley to assart that
the story to the effect that Horaoe Greeley
and Horatio Seymour, some time past,
made a bargain, whereby Gov. Hey moor
Was to support Greeley for the Presiden
cy, and to use his influence to get Gree
ley nominated for the Presidency, by the
Democrats, is a deliberately coined lie,
made out of tho whole cloth, and that it
is equally false that any Democrat in a
high place, low place, or ont of plaoe, has
ever hinted a word of expectation to Mr.
Greeley as to publio offices.
Benj. Gardner, of soma notoriety in
the politics of Alabama, repudiates Graft-
ley, and, without halting at any interme
diate point, declares himself out-and-ont
for Grant. “Ben” has generally been
considered a “bad egg” in the political
nest.
Carpet-bagger Buckley, canvassing tor
a re-nomination for Congress in the 2d
District of Alabama, tells the negroeethst
if Greeley is elected an educational quali
fication of voters will be required, and
thus most of the negroes of the Booth
will be disqualified. Buckley fights Gree
ley in a manner somewhat different from
that adopted by Georgia “Democrats” who
Maintain that Greeley is only trilling to
give’universal amnesty to the South when
ooopled with tho enfranchisement of the
ignorance of the Booth!
We learn from the Sumter * Republican
, that the court of inquiry found Spann
ansa enough to be hung, and that the in-
foresting exhibition will come off on the
26 th'inst.
A man named James J. Johnson and
^Hs little son were rnu over and killed by
■n train on the Atlantio A Golf Railroad,
on Saturday. It ia known that the man
had been drinking and the boy was sick,
and it is snpposed that the drnnken father
'had fallen asleep on the track, with his
son in his arms, when the train came
.along and ran over them. A horrible
aflah! _ ^ _
Almost aa Avowal.
Here is what James' warm friend, the
Atlanta correspondent of tba 8avannah
Advertiser, writes on the 19th inst:
It is likely that James’ friends will with
draw his name from before the conven
tion for several reasons, chief among
whjch are the nujost and personal war
.waged upon Jiiucm, and upon the ground
•that the calling of the convention at an
•ariydate Van in the interest of Smith
sad against all other possible candidates.
. James, I understand, declares that he is
entirely in the hands of his friends, and
will act as they advise. It is, there
fore, not unlikely that bo will be an inde
pendent candidate for Governor. He
oeives letters from prominent Georgians
t almost daily urging him to run, ana of
fering to Stump the "State for him.
* Should, however, be decline to make the
raoe, it is almost certain that some other
independent candidate will appear.

The feet that this State eleotion is the
first one to come off sinoe the Presiden
tial nominations, and that North Carolina,
in all party estimates, is put down as one
of the moat donbtfnl States, attaches
great interest to the contest there. The
eleotion occurs on Thursday of next week,
the first day of August. The excitement
is described by writers who attend tho
political meetings as intense and all-per-
vsding, securing the drawing ont of a
full vote, and giving'us a premonition of
What we may expect-in the closely con
tested States when their elections draw-
near.
North Carolina would not bo a doubtful
State if a free and fair eleotion were as
sured. But the Radical Governor has the
selection of all the managers of the elec
tion, and these have extraordinary powers
as regards the polling and returning of
the votes. A “sharp and quick” game
there may be played as effectively now as
in the early days of reconstruction. —
Then there is the immense powor of tho
Federal Government concentrated and
aotively at work to carry North Carolina
for the Radical ticket. Tho Administra
tion works not only with its money and
its patronage, but with its power—by tho
terrors of Ku-Klux prosecutious in some
instances, and the hopes of release or ex
emption from them in others. Tho liud-
iosl candidate for the Vice Presidency
and two Secretaries of Federal Depart
ments are at work canvassing tho State
for Grant—a spectaclo never before wit
nessed in this country. Whilo we huvo
strong hopes that the Democrats and
Conservatives will overcome even this ex
traordinary crusade for their defeat, wo
must oonfese to fears also. But a defeat
for the Demoorntio tioket in North Caro
lina now will not necessarily involve n de
feat at the Presidential oleutiou, because
the Administration oannot in Novomber
concentrate ita resources for carrying one
State, as it ia doing now.
Unprecedented and reprehensible
the sot of the Federal Administration in
thus seeking to control a Stato eleotion
by ffioney raised by levies on its office
holders, by the terrors of a law wliicli it
executes, and by the personal canvass of
its Heads of Departments, Xbc.manner
in which tho Fedora! Secretaries are stir
ring np old animosities and appealing to
the prejudices and passions of cIoshcs of
the population, is still more unwarranted
and mischievous. They are public incen
diaries, recklessly scattering firebrands,
and if onr system of government had not
bften so perverted as to repress all vindi
cations of looal State rights (in tho South
at least), they might properly bo expelled
from the State as fomenters of strife aud
disturbers of the peace. We have before
ns the strictures of a Grant paper (the
New York Herald) upon the extraordi
nary course of Secretary Boutwell, which
will servo to show how rooklossly the Ad
ministration is fighting its battle in North
Carolina. It will also forcibly present to
the few anti-Greeley Democrats among
us the question whether they can longer
hositate in their choice, when they see
Graut and his leading friends and advisers
making sneh efforts to array the negro
population of the South against the
whites, and to perpetuate the divisions
and animosities of races and of sections,
which Greeley is so anxious to obliterate.
Can they witness the success of such ef
forts to organize and unite the negro vote
on Grant, without rushing to the aid of
their white brethren who support Greo-
ley ? We eannot believe it for a moment.
Here is what the Herald says editorially
of the speech of Secretary Boutwell at
Greensboro’, N. 0., (where Henry Wilson
also spoke), in a review of tho mooting us
reported for the Herald :
The opening speech of Secretary Bout-
well at Greensboro', on Wednesday last,
was altogether of a different oharactor.
Apart from its review of the financial pol
icy of the administration, it was, in its
political aspect, a dangcrons and repre
hensible effort to array the Southern
blacks against tbeir white fellow-citizens
and to scatter the seeds of distrust, hatred
and revenge broadcast over the South.
The Secretary of the Treasury denounced
and spurned the proposition that the poo-
»f the Northern and Southern States—
certain North Georgia magnate. —
'but be has r.$t- strength enough to lead
thft'opposiri^p successfully. v

What next ?
Ex-Senator Willard Warner, of Ala
bama, haa written a latter, eddreeeed to
tba ohi.f editor of the Hew York TrOttm,
in whiok k* uaooaeee klwoelf for Qteo-
«V-
pie of m
the men who had fought the battles of the
Confederacy, under the burners of Lee
end Stonewall Jackson, end the men who
hsd marched to rictory under the lead of
Sheridan end Orent—shell now “clas|
hands ecroea the bloody chasm" made b
the war aud bary forever the bitter mein-
ories of the pent. No ; rather let ua keo|
alive the animosities end hatred* that lei
to the reballioo, until the chasm shall be
filled, it may be, with the mangled vic-
tima of a more cruel war, a war of race*.
Slavery, rays Secretary Boutwell, woe tho
eanae of this “deep, dork and portentoue
chasm," and injustice is the essential
character!, tio of ala very. He refusea to
recognize the foot that slavery is dead ;
tbit it can never again be revived iu the
United States while tho world continues;
that the Southern people, one and all,
aooept the respite of the wer; that the
white eitiiene of the South ask only to be
allowed to live in peace, to repair tbeir
shattered fortunes, to raeonstroet their
desolated homes, and to place their States
once again on the road to prosperity end
happiness. Ha seas in the solid vote of
the blacks, ignorant, idle and vicions
though a majority of them undoubtedly
ere, a prospect of semiring the Southern
Ststes for the administration of whioh he
is a member, end eo be tells the negroes
of North Carolina the. it mast still be war
between them sod their wbito fellow citi
zens ; end be poors into their oradulous
sere the insidious poison of snspioloa. If
yon are wise, he eeys in enbetenae to the
black crowd be barangnea, yon will never
trust your liberties end immunities to
yonr old masUra, for whenever they ob
tain the power, if they oannot destroy the
former, they will deny yon tbe letter.
Tbeir professions may be fair, but their
hearts are false, and if you would protect
yourselves your cry moat be, ho peaco
with each oppressors. Clasp bends across
the Moody chasm ? No; rather fill it up
with more blood, arid with the oorpsee of
men, women and. children whose white
ski os point them ont as your natural ene
mies. We do Beerfitary Boutwell no in.
justice in ibis -interpretation of bis unfor
tunate apeecb. It will bur no other.
Hie address is an effort to excite the wont
peetfieni of an ignor-H end violent peo
ple ; to array race against race: to pu.
suede tbe oegroea that -th. white Dario

to span afreab tba wound, made by tho'

REMARKS.
This man Strobach, who was a delegate
to the Philadelphia Convention, is the
head and front of the Radical party iu
Alabamn. He holds in the hollow of his
hand the central Radical legion or
“National Guard,” and they control all
other Radical societies and “guards” iu
the Btute. In the speech from which we
have quoted he gives the key uoto of tho
Grant and Wilson campaign. It will be
taken up by bis leaguers throughout the
Btute and used in private, if not in public,
to concentrate the negro vote. Let w hite
mou, therefore, bo admonished in time
and lot no iuau, with a patriot’s heart iu
his bosom, assist Strobach, by either his
counsel or his vote, in Retting tho heel of
tho negro on the nock of the white man
that ho may “grind him in the dust."
“A* Demur rats l”
Tho Mobile Register, in a long edito
rial, insists that tbo Democracy should
support Horace Greoloy, as Democrats—
preserving their orguuizution aud bring
ing to Ids aid tho full benefit of it, while
maintaining their own political position.
That is right, and that wo underhand to
bo in accordance with tho undo vttaiuliug
of Mr. Greeley himself. You, says ho, in
re-poiiKo to tho Democratic Committeo in
forming him of his nomination ut Balti
more—you, says ho, in nominating me,
uro uonu tho less Democrats, and I, in ac
cepting your nomination, am none tho
a Republican. Iu other words, it is
understood that wo arc co-operating for I
tho time to accomplish tho specific objects
laid down in the Cincinnati platform, and
neither of us surrenders hia party creed in
so doing.
This is tbo view of tbo matter we have
always taken, and it is surprising tLat a
few Democratic papers and politicians in
sist thut Doiuocrats have surrendered their
party organization aud principles. Will
it hurt, either of these to unite to beat
Grant and inaugurate for one term a
President pledged to an honest adminis
tration—to respect law and the public kb-
ertiea—to restore local independence to
the States and citizenship to the Bout hern
whites? Wo trow not. But, on tlio other
hand, will it not injure tbe organiz.ition
und endanger tho final success of tho dis
tinctive principles of tho party, Hi .uld
these men succeed in their rasano attempt
to split tho party into intensely hos tile
factions on the quostion of submitting to
tho almost unanimous decision of its au
gust representatives in National Conven
tion ? Wo think no course could be more
ill judged—dangerous aud unpatriotic.

At tho Inst meeting ot the Royal Astro-
nominal Society iu London, D*. Hug b ins,
the einineul spedro*cop*M,made sa extra
ordinary fctatcuieut respecting tne motions
uikmg place among the stars. The result
ho answers an* wonderiul. Four years
ago ho applied tie* spectroscope to thO
bright, star Syrius, though his instrumen
tal in cans were not thou ufficient to ren
der him quite certain as to the raault.—-
Still he was ubio to aunouuce with soma
degree of confidnuno that Byriuu is recod
ing ut a rate exceeding twenty miles per
second. Iu order thut he might extend
tho method to other sinrs, the Royal Boei-
oty placed ut his disposal n fine teiescopo,
filteen inches in aperture, und specially
adapted to gather us much fight as ponel-
bio with that aperture. Buitable spectro
scopic appliances wore ulso provided for
the delieuto work Dr. 1 Juggins was to un
dertake. It was but lust winter, says the
Spectator, that the instrument was re.dy
tor work; but already Dr. Huggins hbS
obtained tho most wonderful news from
the stars with its aid. He fiuds that ma
ny of the stiiin ore traveling fur inure
swiftly than had been supposed. Aruia-
rus, for example, is traveling towatds ns
ut the rata of fifty miles per second, and
u < his thwart motion k tuily as {great, (for
this star’H distanco has been estimated,)
the acta.d velocity with whieh he is speed
ing through space cannot be less than sev
enty miles per second. Other stars arft
moviug with corresponding velocities.
Bnt amidst the rnoli »ti* thus detected,
Dr. Huggins has traced the higns of law.
First, he cau truce u tendency among the
htuis in ouo part of the heuvoustto cp-
pi each tho earth, while thesiuisiU tbft
opposite parts of the heavens me reced
ing from us, and tbe stars which sift ap-
prouchtug lie ou thut side of the hc-vena
towards which HerBchel loug since taught
us thut the sun is traveling. But tboft
uro stars not obeying this simple law; and
among these Dr. Huggius rucogniZes in-
stances of thut community of motion to
which a modern stodent of the stars has
given the uumo of star-drift. It happens
indeed, that one of tho most rematkablft
of these instances relates to five wall
known stars, known to astronomers «8
Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon aud Zets,
of tho Great Bear, all of which are drift
ing bodily through space, and receding
from the earth ut the rate of about thirty
miles per second.
Tbe result at once illustrates the inter
esting nature of Dr. Huggins’ discoveries,
and affords promise of future revelations
even more interesting.
