Wendell Phillips’ Brstal Tirade—A Hbarp Krbako Administered by a Maasachasetts Republican Paper. Editor* Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Wendell Phillips’ last frenzy has been extensively published in the Bonth. Is he a leader t No. Has he a following 1 No. He is too erratic, too unreliable, too vindictive, too sensational, and can not be said to have a following in any other sense than oan be said of the pro prietor of a cock pit or a Raree show. He draws a crowd, whose desire is to be amused. He is a prestidigitateur. a po litical aerobat, and nothing more. He is repudiated by the Boston Daily Ad vertiser, the leading Republican paper of New England, in the following edi torial. G. R. 8. [Boston Adeertiser, Republican.) Sooner or later every public man who is in a position to render service to his country must expect to fall under the condemnation of Mr. Phillips. The greater the difficulties he may have to overcome, and the greater his desert, the more certain he will be todrawdown Mr. Phillips’ wrath. Now and then a public man strikes out in anew direc tion, like Butler in Massachusetts or Oameron in Pennsylvania, and makes himself suffioiently obnoxious to the prevailing moral sentiment to win Mr. Phillips’ friendship. In such cases the large resources of our language fail to answer the demands for eulogy. Home, sit thee down upon this flowery bed, While I thy emisble cheeks do ooy; And stick musk roses in thy sleek, smooth heed. And kiss thy fair, Urge sera, my gentle Joy. This is not of frequent occurrence with him. Few men have been so un fortunate as to get his approbation, and to keep it. Lincoln started with his dis pleasure, and never lost it, exoept at short intervals, till the day of his death. Every member of the first Cabinet ran the gauntlet of his furious invective. “He” [Lincoln] “may be honest,” said this br >ve man in the Summer of 1861, —“nobody cares whether the tortois >■ honest or not; he has neither insight “ nor prevision nor decision. ” .. “There *‘is not in the government—Seward, “ Chase, Stanton, Welles or the Presi “ dent of the country—enough to make “a leader.” The President won Mr. Phillips’ favorite epithet of “slave hound” at the very moment when he was perfecting the soheme of emancipa tion, which plaoed his name at the top of the roll of saints and martyrs of hu man liberty. Grant and his counsellors fared no better; although there were times in the ooarse of his checkered Presidency when Mr. Phillips relented for short periods and became compara tively gracious. And now oomes the tarn of Hayes sod his Cabin'".. Mr. Phillips has a bold tongue, but the bulwark behind which he uses it is always a safe one. Sometimes its vio tima are dead; sometimes they are in the thick of battle, and have no ear for the discord iu the rear; always, if alive, they we occupied with great duties, striving to establish justioe and maintain peaoe an the midst of the oonfliet of foroes whioh make np onr mixed society and government. Theirs is the daily and nightly labor and responsibility; his the safe and easy task of entertaining ca rious orowds with eloquent words wing ed with hate and poison. He lives in the Berene contemplation of oonfliot. An era of good feeling wonld be death to him. The fieroer and hotter the strife, if far enough off, the greater the joy of these carpet warriors, who from their “cowards' castles” lannoh their poison ed weapons at the oaptains and leaders of the host who are fighting their battles and winning victories they are not fit to cjoy. Tn every crisis of the nation it is the men at the front who are doing the work a grateful and trustful nation has assigned to them, against whom the hate of these eloquent men is always turned; It is not strange, therefore, that the President, in attempting to carry out a beneficent policy, the symbols of which are justioe and peaoe, should find it im possible to command the approbation of these superior men. The one servioe— to quote Macaulay under somewhat dif ferent circumstances—(the oa* servioe they can do is to hate him, and each as they may all who hate him be! Of coarse, the members of the Cabinet do not escape Mr. Phillips’ peculiar ven geance. Mr. Everts is a man of “no principles.” Mr. Sherman “ entered Congress poor and leaves it rich.” “Then comes Sohnrz, the Swiss soldier, always to let.” “Key brings in Tilden and secession.” And last oomes “Slave hoand Devena.” This epithet Mr. Phil lips rolls as a sweet morsel nnder his tongue. The venom of twenty years seems to have been gathered together and concentrated for this special occa sion. There may be some persona in Philadelphia and in distant parts ot the country to which his words will be car ried, who will think the worse of the! Attorney-General on aooonnt of them. Bat he has the consolation of knowing that gallant and upright men, doing their appointed work loyally, have trod den this path before, and never failed to reach the end of it witbont barm. Mr. Phillips haa missed his mark many times in his life, but never more sig nally than when he attempted to talk down the character and the life of Judge Devens. “ AUGUSTA .HUMIC HOUSE” la UapMiliM with Now York a md Bsmtau.

After all this he could never again be lieve in Walden’s fidelity to duty or his courage before the enemy. But, at the same time, a large portion of Kornfses sel’s own heroic determinations were consigned to an early grave, even before the war was declared, and the hero of the future, who had been disappointed in hia dearest, hopes walked np and down the casemate in gloomy resent ment, and the gunners withdrew timid ly on one side before bis furious glances and angry commands. CHAPTER nr. In the mean time Henry Yon Walden had kept on his way, and in a few min utes had reached the rocky streets and dilapidated houses of the little city.— Passing bv several stately public build ings which adorned Ibe shore, and the great deserted barracks, the offioer di rected bis steps toward the red house. The Italian gardener, who only very reluctantly had opened to the Countess the house which had been abandoned by her husband, remembered distinctly the scene between bis master and the first lieutenant, and took no pains to conceal the displeasure with which he admitted the latter for the seoond time. Much more friendly was the welcome which the officer, who was already on the broad marble stairs, received from Pepi, a little maid with black eyes and rosy cheeks, who sought to oomp> nsate for the shortness and shapelessness of her figure by the eprighthness of her movements, and whose first words indi cated that she had been spoiled by a kind mistress, and was gradually de veloping into an “enfant terrible.’’ “ Now it is delightful to have you back at last, Mr. Von Walden,” cried she, and then continued quickly : “The Countess has scarcely closed her eyes on your account, and has said continually that something would surely happen to yon in these troublous times; and in that, she was right, for I know how we were treated until we found this place. We intended at first, you know, to go on the other side where it is all Italian and not imperial, but suddenly a crowd of yellew fellows hopped out of a little house and demanded a pass of my Coun toss—could you believe it—a pass of my Countess, as if we were vagrants; and because our pass was not signed by the Italian Ambassador (as the service looks of the polioe are with us), we were com pelled to turn back again. * But now the great trouble commenced; for the oth ers, you know, our people, would not let us come in peeped into every hat box. The men even asked me if I bad no silks or cigars under my paletot. The insolent, scoffing creatures ! As if I oould help being as broad as I am long !" .. Carried away by the recollections of ■heir dangers and adventures, Pepi had entirely forgotten the impatience of her mistress, when thehasty pushing back of a chair and a quick step was audible in the room before which the loquacious maid still detained Mr. Von Walden. Immediately afterwards the folding doors were opened and a tall female figure appeared. The Counters was dressed in a simple black silk and her full figure, which Kornfaessel had re membered,waß somewhat thinner, and her bright oolor had faded a little. Her rich hair, which was once between light brown and blonde, had been beautified by a third modification, whioh at a little diatance looked like light hair-powder, but was in reality silver threads which w re already very plentifully sprinkled among her smooth locks. “Henry, of Btyria, is again on land ! ” exclaimed the Countess, taking the not very small, but white, well formed hand of the officer; and a melan choly smile which seemed to shine out from times Jong past, lighted up her features, while her brown (Byes were fastened inquiringly on her visitor—“l have already felt the keenest remorse that I should have accepted of you at this disturbed and dangerous time a servioe which, according to your former experiences, might have ended very humiliatingly for yourself. Of course you have not accomplished your objeot; it was silly and venturesome in me to permit the' attempt,” continued the lady with unsteady voioe, anxiously contem plating the yonng man, as if she still hoped that from his embarrassed sileaoe the bright sunbeams of glad tidings might break forth. Henry Von Waldpn raised the hand whioh he held to his lips, and led the Countess to the high-backed sofa that stood on one side of the room, which waa painted in the pompeiian style. “I have seen Caroline,” said he then, “but that is all. I succeeded in getting into the garden of the villa Bandimiani, but the laborers and domestics fright ened me away from the neighborhood of the house, where I could have hoped to approach her. At last towards evening, as she was taking a walk in the park, I waa enabled to get within a few steps of her" “Ah 1” said the Countess, with a sigh of relief, after listening to the officer’s words in breathless suspense, “Pow does she look, is she happy ?” The officer oast down his eyes. “I would rather not answer the seoond question, for l have not spoken to the Countess Caroline. However, in regard to her looks, I remained long, very long in silent contemplation, before I could comprehend that this charming, pensive being who sat opposite me, was really my gay little oousin Caroline, who had once romped through all the corridors of your Venetian palaoe; and had been a most appreciative listener to my absurd stories. But when the young lady, as if disturbed by my gaze, suddenly open ed her dark, fawn-like eyes, and looked around timidly and shudderingly, then I reoognized every feature of my dear little friend. I no longer found that childish brightness, but in its plaoe an other expression. I know not, my cou sin, if in her laae there was that happi ness and oontentment which, according to yonr request, I was to look for. And even if I had arrived at the conclu sion that Caroline’s meditations seemed to indicate a deep soul sorrow, I still had no opportunity to deliver the letter with whioh you had charged >ne under such circumstances; for the laurel hedge in wbicj I had bidden myself betrayed me by its rustling, and the dreaming dove under the palms fluttered timidly away before I could call to her that it was a friend who had surprised her. My offioial duties did not permit me to re main more than one day, and caution forbade my leaving the letter behind. So, I come back witbont having accom plished my object. You see lama poor messenger, my honored cousin !” The young officer placed a folded, sealed paper, whioh he had taken from bis uniform, on the gray marble table. The Countess, whose face had become more and more animated while she lis tened, cast a careless glance at the let ter, then looking at it more closely, took it np. She examined the half effaced bandwriting of the address, and said anxiously; “The letter bus been wet; you must have bad an accident, you look ao pale and exhausted. I would npyey forgive myself for it.” “I was overtaken yesterday evening by a severe thunder storm, perhaps as a punishment for eurprisiDg my eonsin Caroline,” laughed Walden, oasting down his eyes. “And all on our account—how can we thank you, dear Walden ?” said the Countess fervently, while her white hands toyed with the paper. “It is certainly better for Caroline that the letter, to the writing of which a de spairing mother was persuaded in the angnish of a io&ely hour, and in conse quence of a meeting with you, did not reach its address. Indeed, J. am infi nitely happy at your bringing jute the news that Caroline does not seem dis turbed and miserable, as if the were oppressed by a secret grief. And she is ebarming, lovely, do you say ?’, With a confident smile, the Countess awaited his answer, as if she were sure in advance what it would be, Walden blushed deeply, and stam mered : “I believe so !” “You only believe so,” replied the Countess, half jestingly. “Yet, as a rule, you young gentlemen have very decided opinions about a lady's personal appearance.” The glance with which Henry Von Walden now looked up out of bis dark gray eyes into his conisin’s face waa fall and clear and candid, and his voioe very earnest as he answered: “f will not deny that I have found many women beautiful, even admired some with the quick ready admiration and decision which is almost seoond nature with us men. But Caroline, I saw not with such eyes, and therefore it { is difficult for me to say whether she is that whieh I once would have called very beautiful You know, gracious cousin,” continued Walden, while his voice trembled slightly, and he vainly strove to throw off the embarrassment which had oppressed him since he cape in, “you know how much Caroline’s youthful nature depended upon jae when she waa child. frit probably you never noticed the deep atWhmatn whioh I bestowed upon yoar daughter, whose pure guileless companionship be came indispensable to me, in the midst of a society which knew nothing be tween indifferenoe and passion, not even hate. Yon will believe that it was a seyere blow to me, when I was not al lowed to me the child again. But no changes of plaoe o ft life have driven the little creatpre with the long bled locks, nd the dark eyes in h/m phite face, who sang and laughed with me when I was gay, and wept with me when I was sad, without asking why— no, nothing has ever banished Caroline from my recollections. Indeed, my mem ory was more constant than the reality, for in the former your dsnghter has al ways remained a child. When, for the first time after years of absence, my lit tle friend greeted me from a window of this honse, scarcely changed, with the same features and the same bright smile, it seemed to me that life’s last cloud must vanish before this childish joy. Yesterday I saw Caroline, but this time she was changed, much changed, herself it is trne, but no longer my gsy little girl Strange to ssy, until now, I had never reflected that even my little friend would grow to be a woman and excite and experience sentiment like other women. For this reason a comparison of her appearance with the idea which one expresses by the word beautiful, was farthest from my thoughts, and while it filled me with raptnre to have been once so dear to her, I was terrified to think that she was no longer s child, and that I was committing an offense in being so near her.” Walden arose and drew a long breath, as if his uniform coat was too narrow for his nnnsnally broad chest. The Countess had also risen, and deeply agitated stood facing him, and looking with a sort of raptnrous curiosity into his manly face, now glowing with the noblest passion, softly said : “Walden, you love my child.” After a pause, the young officer lifted np his bowed head, and passing his hand through his light hair, replied with an embarrassed smile and trem bling voice: “According to all that I have heard of love, I believe that you are right, my honored eonsin. Bcold me for my folly— yon would have the right to do so. Bnt there are men whose hearts do not grow old with them, and I am one, in spite of my thirty years. I know that such an old, childish character deserves little confidence or indulgence*, and, to say the least of it, is little fitted to be the companion and protector of sneb a ten der being. I know also that it would be great folly in me to cherish any hope or desire, therefore my love shall be silent and unselfish, and whether it dis tresses or makes me happy, it shall dis tnrb no one. But you wished to know the truth, and I tell you what I believe to be true.” The flames of enthuaiasm had died out in Walden’s face, and pale and as if broken in spirit, he leaned on the back of one of the high carved ohairs. Shaking her head, and with folded hands, the Countess bad listened : “ You love the child,” she murmured. “ It is strange that I should never hftve thought of this before, while now it seems that the most natural of all unions would be between you. And Caro line ?” continued the Countess oheer fully. Walden’s melancholy smile recalled to her mind that her daughter was only a child when he had last spoken with her, and since she had become a young lady, she had never seen him. A troubled shadow passed over the face of the Countess, and then she Said with sorrowful kindness : “ I may not encourage hopes or expec tations, in the fulfillment of which I cannot assist, for I have no claim on my own child, whose very face has bees turned away from me, as one unworthy of her. My favor would really be the surest means of destroying yonr last hope if you could indulge one; but, at the same time, it will perhaps not be en tirely a ma ter of indifference to yon that I could see no one in preference to, or with more confidence than yourself, as the future husband of my daughter.” Speechless from unexpected joy, Wal den stood for a moment, then he seized the white hand of the Countess, and car ried it almost devoutly to bis lips and brow. “Mother 1” whispered he— Almost violently, with a pecnliar con vulsive motion, the Conntess withdrew her band, whieh was wet with the tears of a thirty-year old soldier. “We forget,” said she quickly, “that Hippolyt, that my husband, wonld rather see his only ohild dead at his feet than give her to yon in marriage.” “I believe it, I must believe it!” cried Walden, whose features were sud denly lighted by a wild hope. “But why, why ? You do not think a man without title or fortune too insignificant for your daughter—and so far as I know, Count Bandimiani was never arrogant or purse proud.” With wonderful sympathy, the Coun tess surveyed the flame which she had kindled, and her eyes fell “Hippolyt hates you I ” “I know it, but why ? ” repeated Walden. “For years I have racked my brain over this mystery without being able to discover any solution of it. By the side of your child’s memory which has attended me like a guardian angel, her father’s hatred has walked like a dark shadow inseparable from her—this incomprehensible hatred for the cause and explanation of whioh my mental capaoity fails me entirely. Tell me the reason, my lady, why does Count Hip polyt hate me ? ” Pale and trembling, and with averted face, the Countess stood before her irn pl.orer : “Never,” said she softly, “trust me 1 A wife’s honor is the respect of her bus band. Bnt Hippolyt despises me even more than he hates me, and yet I am innooent of the offense with whioh he charges me.” The colpr died out in Waldens face, and he replied quietly : “I have never donbted that if there were any faults between you and yonr husband they would be found only on his side; but for my own part, I must deep ly lament that you have pot sufficient oonfidenoe in yonr own innocence to tell what has happened to a no an who, in consequence, is compelled to renounce his dearest, perhaps only happiness, and must meet his fate not only powerless, but also deaf and blind.” “You know not what you desire,” said the Countess wearily, and her face was suffused by a dark flush only too give way immediately to a death-like pallor. “If you are as devoted to me as formerly, promise never again to ask me this question, for I can only answer yon with silence.” Walden bowed. “Pardon me, most worthy cousin. 1 will give up straggling against the in comprehensible spectre whieh your hus band’s hatred of me is, and the painful consciousness of having given no man cause for contempt will in time become less strong and more endurable. I will in fntnre bear silently the aversion of my aopsin when I meet it, and will make onr conversation as formal as pos sible.” “I understand your bitter words,” an swered the Conntess, and her pels lips trembled; “you wish to say that m£hus band's behavior and my silence degrade you in yonr own esteem; bnt that on Caroline’s account, yon are XffHly tp make even this sacrifice. Is it not so ?” Walden was silent and seemed to be studying very attentively the pattern of the carpet on which the Conntess stood; without a quivering of her eyelids, look ing ont on the lake glistening in the golden light of the midday son’, an over powering agitation seemed to take pos session of her. Her breathing was nnr rigd and her bosom heaved violently. At last, with a bold determination, she tamed to bi. “ You shall know all/’ said she, in a faltering voioe. “ You have just nailed me mother, and as a son who baa been with me for years, unrecognized, yon shall from this time receive my confi dences ; between mother and Bon noth ing can be spoken which is capable of misconstruction, is not that true ?” , In the trembling words of the Coun tess, and in the look jrith which she scanned her comin's face, there .was al most the shy, modest timidity of a maiden who speaks of her first love. Bnt she met only a dear, honest eye, and that kind, earnest candor whioh, even more than his noble features, gave the yonng offioer such great power over the hearts of all good people who knew him. The Conntess resumed her seat on the sofa, and pointing her young friend to a ohair near her, she began : “When a boy, yon were epee at the family residepoe of my parents, there fore yon know Oarinthia, with its dark, far-stretching lakes, its Monotonous ranges of hills and ngly mountains, With i its villages dotted over the villey, and. its lonely castles rising from the low summits of the hills, “In the monotony of this country life there was just romance enough to foster a taste for it without being able to enjoy it either in life or in nature. I was about as old as Caroline when my father determined to visit all the remarkable places of our great Fatherland, for he was an ardent patriot, and declared in in his violent way that it was a disgrace for a wealthy man to possess such a beautiful and diversified country, and to die witiou* learned all about it. We intended' to go through Trieste to Venice, Milan, Steiermarck and Prague, and to return to-Carinthia by way of Vienna, Hnngary, Gallacia and Croatia. My mother, who, in apu# pf nil ber objections, was obliged af a/ father’s command to explore o.ur beautiful ejnpifl*, gigbed in anticipation of all the %MMlpB to vhjph my father’s lively temperament wonld expose us on the journey. But it came out otherwise than as my mother feared. We only reached Venice. There the introductions of onr relatives opened to ue the houses of several noble fami lies, and the pleasant acquaintances which we found an opportunity of form ing delayed onr departure frem week to week. To my youthful and unspoiled, imagination (I had never until now seen any large cities bnt Ley bach and Trieste, net even Vienna) there was something perfectly intoxicating in the straDge en chantments of the “water city;” also the aristocratic gentleness and charming politeness of the race with whom I came in contact, and the poetic pathos of the people made me feel as if I were moving in a more exalted sphere. In compari son with these, how awkward and stiff the conversational forms of our edu cated men seemed to me ! How repul sive and coarse the much renowned cordiality of our peasants ! Venice was to me the foremost among cities, and her citizens were the aristocracy among nations. Repeatedly I declared to my parents that I oould Conceive of nothing more glorious than to dream my life away in the melancholy splendor of these palaces. My mother, who threw oft old habits and customs less easily, would iold her hands and shake her head forebodingly, but my father patted me on my shoulder as prondly as if he bad been the unknown founder of Venice ; and said I wonld open my eyes still wider when I should see the Cathedral at Milan, the Tyrolean Alps, the Hrad schio, and the Imperial city, but he did not attempt to conceal the fact that of all these wonders he was acquainted only with the last. [To be Continued in next Sunday's Chronicle.] THE OGLETHORPE OUTBREAK. The Recent Riot In Crawford—Details of the Affair—Mischief Brewing Far Some Time— Two White Men Wounded—Prompt and Lawful Action of the Citizens Present Status of Affair*. [CorrespondenceChronicle and Constitutionalist .] Lexington, Ga , April 2. —Soon after the inauguration of Hayes a large num ber of negroes held a ratification meet ing in this place. Inflammatory and highly improper speech ea were made, the most objectionable among them being that of their leader, Luke Johnson. He is a young man, but has considerable in fluence over the people of his race. Not withstanding the character of the speech es, the negroes were not in any way disturbed or interfered with, but were permitted to say what they pleased. Ever sinoe that occasion the house in which Johnson resided, iu the town of Crawford, in this county, has been fre quently, at night, the assembling place of many armed negroes, and it has been becoming more and more apparent that something .unlawful was intended. .This negro recently sent a communication which he doubtless meant as a demand for the post office, to Mr. Harris J. Pace, the postmaster at Crawford, though it was a rather obscure document. Mr. Pace says he has received no informa tion from the Post Office Department of the appointment of Johnson, nor does he believe he has been appointed, and a numerously signed petition not to ap point him was forwarded to the Post master-General. Mr, Key’s Democracy would find an exceedingly poor manifes tation in giving this office to an incom petent, vicious and dangerous negro, who is at this time to every good citizen of the community the most distasteful person that could possibly be selected. There is little doubt, however, that it was Luke’s purpose to get possession of the office, and matters have been ap proaohing a culmination for several days, till the night of the 30th of March. About the hour of one o’clock that night the Mr. Jasper Hopkins, the mar shal of Crawford, finding that at least twenty colored men, thoroughly armed with guns and pistols, were at Luke’s house, determined to ascertain what this assemblage at this late hour meant. He had reason for fearing that violence was contemplated and wished to prevent its occurrence. Accompanied by Mr. J. M. Norton,Mr. Jno. Norton,Mr. Jno. Stoke iy, Mr. R. H. Viokers and Mr. J. J. Dil lard, whom he had summoned, he went to the place of meeting. He was some what in advance of the others and walk ing right into the midst of the negroes informed them calmly, but firmly, that he was marshal; that their conduct was improper; that they must disperse, and that there must be peaoo and quiet iu the town, or words to that effect. One of the negroes cried, “Halt!” another, “Fire |” and then a yell was raised, and with shouts of “Shoot them, kill the damned white men,” they fired a volley upon the marshal and the men who were with him. Those of the white men who were armed returned the fire, but it is not known that any of the negroes were hit From the number of shots fired it is clear that all, or nearly all, of the ne groes shot at the marshal and his com panions. One witness testified that there were forty or fifty shots in all. Mr. Hopkins was shot in four places, severely but not mortally. Two balls or buck-shot struck his head—one on each side just above the temple; one went into his right hand, and another into one of his arms. The wounds in the head were made by balls that fortunate ly glanced, and did rot enter the skull, but Mr. Hopkins thought at first they were made by the same ball, entering at one place and ooming out at the other, and they did present that appearance. He acted with great ooolness and gallantry, and fired several times with his left hand after his right was disabled. Mr. J. M. Norton waa shot in the leg and arm with small shot, painfully, but not dangerously, ©ther members of the party were grazed or shot in the cloth ing, but not injured. The wounded men were removed and cared for, the town aroused, and messengers were sent to Lexington for assistance. Our citi zens were awakened about 2 o’clock, and many pf tffefa propeeffed at once to Crawford, and on reaehmg there found the negroes had all dispersed and taken to flight. Soßie of the gentlemen who acoompanied the marshal, ip answer to a question by the writer, why they should have gone in such a small num ber, and with so few of them armed to such a large orowd of armed negroes, re plied that they did not expect so sudden and unprovoked an attack on them as the negroes made. On Saturday morn ing several arrests were made, and a court of inquiry held at Crewford by R. A. McMahan, N. P. and ex officio J. P. Col. J. D. Mathews and the undersign ed appeared for the State, and Messrs. W. G. Johnson and J. T. Olive for the prisoners. It is proper to state that these gentlemen acted nnder appoint ment by the Court and at the urgent re quest of Col. Mathews and myself. It was desiyed by alt to B' ve the negroes a fair and impartial befring, n<f it was accordingly right and PF°pP?tbpy should have counsel. Five were committed to jail for assanlt with intent to murder and one discharged. The principal wit ness to the identity of the defendants was Hattie Bell, a woman of their own oolor. Sinoe then much additional evidence has been disclosed from a source which should not, at present, be made public. It is sufficient to say that it confirms tfle guift of the parties al ready committed and 'implicates seyeral others, ft also develops the fact that sines the inauguration of Hayes a secret society of negroes, which has been in existence for about two years, has had in contemplation acts of incin diarism and other crimes. The leader of tbis sooiety and of the recent riot, Luke Johnson, is still at large. He is a medium sized, young looking, very sleek faced, very black negro, with a few struggling hairs on his chin. For the last two days the air has been filled with rumors of all kinds. The jail has been diligently guarded and our people are on the alert. The leading ficts have been stated, bqt t|iere are many other facta and circumstance? yhjph go to ahow that tbis community bas been in serious danger for some time. Our citi zens-are determined to take this matter in hand and break up this unlawful con spiracy at once aDd effectually. There is not the slightest particle of excn=e for the conduct of the negroes. Universal peace and good order was prevailing; nobody was disturbing or interfering with them in any way. On the contrary, much patience and forbearance (perhaps too much) has been shown towards them, and they ffaye pprtaiplF been accorded every right and privilege to which tfcey were entitled.

The fair Celine saw with horror that she was rapidly beooming too fat. for beauty as well as for comfort, and in despair she went to Dnmaine, a well known actor who waa onoe enormously stont but has sinoe grown thin, to know what she should do. Dnmaine recommended the doctor above mentioned, and the lovely Montaland went through a course of severe poundings at this functionary's hands, for which she expected to pay him by the hoar, but tor wlifsb tfie last moment he demanded an exorbitant sum, thinking that she would not dare to bring the matter into Court.

The Electoral Coaat—Haaao Rale Negotia tions—The Meeting at Woratler’*—History of the Caafereaee—Speeches of the Politi cal Diplomats—An Interesting Sketch. Wasaington, March 30. —As a farther contribution to the history of the nego tiations between certain of the Southern leaders and the particular friends of President Hayes pending the electoral count, the following memoranda will be found of great interest. 1 It relates sub stantially what took place at the confer ence at Wormley’s on the night of the 29th of February, to which allusion has already been made in these dispatches. Its accuracy can be vonohed for, as it was written down by one of the gentle men present immediately after the con clusion of the conference. The meeting at Wormley’s was prearranged, and was held in the rooms of Hon. Stanley Mat thews. Those who were present on the occasion were Mr. Matthews, Senator John Sherman, Gen. Garfield, Repre sentative Foster, ex-Governor Dennison, and Chief Justice Cartter, of the Dis trict Supreme Court, all personal friends of ’President Hayes, all from his own State of Ohio, and all believed to be authorized to speak for him. There were also present Representative Ellis, of Louisiana; Col Burke, of that State, who was then in Washington as the ac credited envoy of Gov. Nicholls, and Henry Watterson, of Kentucky. As usual on all such occasions there was an exchange of the ordinary civili ties among the gentlemen when they first name together, quickly followed, however, by allusions to the subject which had brought them together and which were paramount in the minds of all. Representative Ellis, of Louisiana, was the first to begin the formal confer ences. He said that he would state what the views, wishes and attitude of the Southern members were as to the electoral oonnt and how their future ac tion wonld be dependent on circum stances. He said thoy wanted peace, home rale and honest govern ment. They did not waDt to be longer held in sub jection by Federal bayonets. He said what he and those with whom he acted feared, was that if Governor Hayes' was inaugurated he would use the troops to sustain Packard and Chamberlain, and the Southern members who were at that time taking part in the filibustering to defeat the electoral count was influenc ed by this fear. Stanley Matthews was the next speak er. He first spoke at considerable leDgth on the general features of South ern politics, and then comiDg to the point he mentioned what every one present knew, that he was the intimate personal and political friend of Gover nor Hayes; that he was thoroughly ac quainted with his views upon the South ern questions; that Gov. Hayes be lieved the time had gone by when States should be ruled by bayonets: aDd that if he was inaugurated President his policy undoubtedly would be to give to those States stable and peaceful gov ernments of their own choice, under which the rights of all citizens wonld be protected. He said that Gov. Hayes was also desirous of abolishing the oolor line in politios, and that he was satisfied that there wonld be no perma nent or lasting peace in those States while they were governed by men not representatives of the people. When Judge Matthews finished his remarks, Mr. Foster drew from his pocket and read the letter whioh he had received from Gov. Hayes after his speech in the House, in which the senti ments of that speech were so warmly approved. Mr. Ellis then remarked that the views to which Judge Matthews had given ut terance were most gratifying to him and his friends. He said, however, that a practical difficulty suggested itself, which was this: The same men who had voted for Nioholls had voted for Tilden; the same Returning Board that assumed to give the eleotion to Hayes had also declared Packard elected, and foi this reason they were at a loss to see how Gov. Hayes oould consistently ignore Packard’s claim and sustain Nicholls. To this Judge Matthews replied that he did not assume to speak for Gov. Hayes, or to say that such would be his action, but the difficulty suggested would be overcome best in thi9 way: First, to ob tain from Nicholls guarantees and as surances, which he could easily give, that there will be no bloodshed, no vio lence, no persecution of any one on ac count of political offenses, and that lib erty, life and property would be guaran teed to all, irrespective of party or race, that then he would withdraw the troops from the State. Your people then would sustain and support Nicholls by paying taxes to his government, and by yield ing it allegiance and support his govern ment in this way would become strong and perfectly established. Mr. Packard oould collect no taxes, his authority would be disregarded and his govern ment would die or disperse for pure lack of means to support it. Then, if the occasion required that the President should recognize a government in Lousi ana, he would find only the Nioholls government perfectly established aud giving peace and satisfaction to the whole people, and withont inquiring into the legality of its original title would accept the facts and recognize it as the legitimate government of the State. Mr. Ellis then said : This action would be perfectly satisfactory to us. We ask no recognition. We only ask that the troops be withdrawn. We can promise, and can safely keep tflat promise, that the peace will be preserved; that the laws will be administered equally and impartially for all W e have bad to suffer many wrongs at the ffaeffs of these people, who have been ruling and rob bing us for years, but we do not desire to prosecute or harm them, but only de sire that they shall cease to be dishonest and become good oitigens. Judge Mat thews replied that with the guarantees proposed by Mr. EUis the plan which he had indicated waa the easiest and the best, and that while he did not under take to commit Governor Hayes to aDy promises he made, yet he had good rea son to believe that such would be his policy. Ex-Governor Dennison here said that he warmly approved of every word uttered by Judge Matthews, and he indorsed all that Judge Matthews had said as to the probable Course of Governor Hayes. Mr. poster then egprpsseff himself without reservation ?s jp favor of the withdrawal of the troops and the let alone policy. He also expressed his be lief, although not speaking directly for Governor Hayes, that his course would be as indicated by Mr. Matthews. Gen. Garfield spoke next and aston ished all those who were in the room by the enthusiastic manner in which he spoke. He also endorsed what Mr. .Matthews had said and then remarked : “If Governor Bayes becomes President you men of the South within six months will bless the day upon whieh he was inaugurated, for I know he feels very kindly towards you, as we all do.” Hen ry Watterson said the plan proposed by by Judge Matthews was all that could be asked by the people of South Caro lina and Louisiana. He assured Ellis and Burke that if any men knew Gov ernor Hayes anfl could speak for him the distinguished gentlemen present are the vtry men. Senator Sherman had up to this time listened very attentively, but had not volunteered a remark. Mr. Ellis turned to him and said : Senator ShermaD, you are well known to be very close to goveynpy gayes. ft j? said you will be iu hia Cabinet, i must be frank with you and say that onr people have considered you their bete noir, and I de sire to hear from yon upon this ques tion. [ This was all said in good humor, the speaker and the Senator both laugh ing at the allusion;] Senator Sherman got np from his seat, walked over to the fire-place, and turning with his face to the whole com pany, said thftt he had listened with great care to she statements, declara tions and'line of polioyas set forth by Judge Matthews, and he wonld say that he approved and endorsed what had been said. Then Mr. Ellis said :We of the South could certainly ask nothing for the people of Carolina and Louisi ana beyond the guarantees yon have given ns at this interview, and that for my part, feeling there is no longer a shadow of hope for Tilden, that it wonld be unwise and impolitic for us to attempt gny farther to impede or defeat the con summation of the jffteCtbfhl' poufl't, and (hat I will use all the influence I haye, and vote against every dilatory proposi tion from this time forth- l win notify my oolleagues and other friends of the resnlte of this interview. I will tell those gentlemen of the House who are filibustering to defeat Hayes through dread of his policy towards the South that it is best for us to consummate the count. Alaa! Brother Haye* Diia : ( t U^aiuofc,. Washington, April’ This'was com munion Bunday at the Foundry Church, and there was mueh cariosity on the part of the pious brethren to know whether President Hayes wonld remain throughout the services. At the close of the sermon the preacher made an earnest exhortation at some length, and before the communion began Mr. Hayes left witfl bis family. It eansed a email papiO in the church, nffd'the elders have been discussing the point all day, whether he is truly good or haa made arrangements to gg |g pome other con fessional. Of the Hon. Robert Toombs the Gaineville Southron says: He is un doubtedly the ablest statesman in Geor gia. HAYES AND THE SOUTH What a Private CUizen Thinks of Holding Office Under the Administration. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: I have been much interested in the opinions of the gentlemen who have re sponded to yonr letter in regard to the propriety of Southern Democrats ac cepting office under Mr. Hayes, Ac. It is well that the subject should be fully discussed, and I think your readers will appreciate yonr efforts to lay before them the sentimentß of these distin guished men. Every republican community should yield respectful deference to the views of those whose abilities have elevated them above their fellow-citizens. But it is at least a question which admits of debate whether the honest instincts of the masses do not oftener reach a right decision in issues involving moral prin ciple than the more practical judgments of public men. Whether Southern Democrats should accept office from Mr. Hayes is evidently a moral as well as a political question, and, to arrive at a true solution of it, should be viewed in both aspects. Now, in the discussion of the purely political bearings of the question, or the conrse which, as a mere present policy, should be adopted as to the acceptance or re jection of patronage from the Adminis tration, it cannot be . denied that the opinions of experienced politicians are entitled to great weight. But when we come to view the case in the light of principle it is quite probable that the private citizen, who has never held and has no aspirations for office, will arrive at as true and unselfish a conclusion as the ablest politician in the land. I would not be understood as imply ing that either of the gentlemen whose .letters you have published are biased in their judgments by the hope or ex pectation of office from any source. But it may be assumed as a general principle that the farther removed one is from the allurements of offioe the clearer will be his perception of right and wrong in politics. In several of the letters you have published the distinguished writers have expressed the opinion, in effect, that there would be no impropriety in a Southern Democrat accepting office from Mr. Hayes, if he could do so -without compromising himself. I sup pose no one would object to this proposi tion if the condition could be fulfilled. But could it be done? With all respect for the opinions of those who think dif ferently, I do not believe it possible. My conviction is that the man who holds an office of emolument at the hands of an administration will ulti mately become, if not its open and avowed supporter, at least its apologist; and this notwithstanding he may be not only honestly opposed to the policy of the Administration when he accepts the office, but also, at the time, determined never to be influenced by its patronage. We all know that human nature in its best illustrations is weak; and that con victions, however strong, will seldom resist the subtle fascinations of bread and butter, or the scarcely less insidious influences of power. But is there danger of the South’s be ing divided by the distribution of the Government patronage among us ? This is, perhaps, a purely political question, and the opinions of the gentlemen whose views you have elicited are deserving of far more consideration than mine. But I hope I may, without presumption, of fer a word upon this subject. I have an abiding faith in the virtue and integrity of the Southern people. I believe they are as near proof against corrupting in fluences as any people the sun ever shone upon. But then I can’t help re flecting that they are, after all, but hu man. They have resisted many a luring bribe, in all the long night of their pov erty, but let them now heed the prayer, “ Lead us not into temptation.” The South occupies a strong vantage ground, which she has won by years of patient endurance and fortitude. Can she af ford to risk losing it for the sake of the brief tenure of a few paltry offices ? She stands upon a plane of high moral principle, commanding the respect of her enemies. But can she maintain even her own self-respect if she descends from that plane to accept patronage from a man whose possession of that patron age is due alone to the most unblushing fraud ? To my mind there is but one answer to the question. Privates Citizen. WtotltoMMiiii. South Boston, May 9. 1870. H. K. Stevens, Esq : Dear Sir—l have had considerable experi ence with the Vegetinf.
