GEN. BLAIH. IN OHIO. -
^'.The Democratic candidate for the_.Yice-
Presidencjy made a speech in CSncinnaU last
Tuesday fright, in -which there were some
telling paints, tQne of them was the fol
lowing: ^ ',
The three millions of black peojrieg&these
Southern States have twenty Senators upon
JV ~ floe*-of the' United - Stadias Senate, while
but two Senators, so that one ne-
there is, by these Badical recon-
about equal to ten white men
Steer:
few'
in the State of Qhio.i'fhey have fifty-Repre
sentatives in the lower, branch of Congress
from these ten States—more than double the
number the State of Ohio has. The three
Bullions of negroes of these Southern States
have twenty Senators - and fifty Representa
tives in the lower branch of Congress, and
three millions of white people in the State of
Ohio have but two Senators and but nineteen
Representatives in the lower branch of Con
gress; So- that one negro is equal to about ten
white men of this State.
General Blair might have added; says the
Richmond Whig, that these twenty Senators
are mostly .New Englanders, and that they
are all expected and intended to represent
New England ideas and interests—from which
it results that New England, with less than
three millions of inhabitants, is to have thirty
Representatives in the Senate (her own ten
and the twenty of the negroes) while Ohio,
with a larger population, will have only two;
and from which, again, it results that one New
England Yankee is equal to fifteen Ohio men!
Will Ohio stand that ? Will the West, whose
interests are antagonistical to those of New
England?
Another of General Blair's points, which
is sustained by every presumption of truth,
was the following:
In giving suffrage to these black men,
known to them and to every man not to be-
qualified, not to have the intelligence neces-
sary.to exercise that right, the object of many
of their representatives is not only to main
tain their power by means of their support,
but by the degradation of the suffrage to de
stroy suffrage. They want the people to be
come disgusted with suffrage and our free
government, and become willing to accept a
military despotism in preference to suffrage
with these blacks and in preference to the
rule of the carpet-baggers. I repeat that the
degradation of the suffrage is its destruction;
and these men desire that the people of this
Country may become disgusted with this
'thing of universal suffrage, conferred upon
this incompetent- black race, and rush into
the arms of a dictator ' and accept a military
government, wielded-by a single individual,
rather than be swayed by this ignorant, semi-
barbarous nice and- the mean, miserable car
pet-baggers of the South.
GEN. MEADE’S ORDER.
We find the following special telegram in
the New York Post of Saturday:
Washington, October 10.—The order just
issued by General Meade, distributing troops
in his department at points where their pres-
ence'is deemed essential, has been before the
authorities here for some time, and received
the President's approval bat a few days since.
This may be true, but there is certainty a
degree of inconsistency between the reported
approval of General Meade’s order and the
President’s military order, published yester
day morning, the manifest purpose of which
is j to restrain militaiy commanders strictly
wjthin the limits of their constitutional au
thority and the “technicalities” of the exist
ing laws, to which he directs their attention.
Certainly if the President had approved Gen
eral Meade’s determination not to be re
strained by technicalities of the .civil law, in
stead of citing those laws and directing his
attention to their penalties, he would have
sent Him more troops.
A Case op Ckueltx. —The New York pa
pers make a brief mention of the ease of En-
wabd Wilson, a white boy who died from the
effects of a horsewhipping at the hands of
one Francis MixDonough. The whipping
was done with the butt of the whip while the
lad was assisting- McDonough at his soda
water stand. The little fellow was seriously
injured, but denied being hurt for two or
three days, because he was afraid his father
would give him another whipping. Coroner
Rollins admitted McDonough to bail in
$2,000 to answer.
Had the victim been a negro at the South,
and ever so deserving of chastisement, a rad
ical negro riot and a military investigation
at an expense of several thousand dollars to
the government, wonld have been the conse
quences. But he was only a poor white boy,
and there was no political capital in his case.

Speaking of the incoming potton crop, the
well informed New-York correspondent of the
Angnsta Constitutionalist says: “Each suc
ceeding week increases the probability that,
wjth judicious management, the crop can be
marketed on the basis of twenty-five cents
for middling uplands in this market. . With
the increased deliveries at the ports, as com
pared with last year, close money andade-
cline of five per cent, in gold, the. price lias
And learn by proof in some wild hour How much the j advanced to twenty-seven cents, and it must
wretched -dare. . . -. - j - - —
Some such effect this policy must ham oh be a seTere tarn that can force it back to
” ■ ' ■ ' - - - twenty-five cents. Nevertheless, I can but
repeat the advice heretofore given to your
planters—sell freely as long as we are twenty-
five cents or over, and hold on as long as
possible if we go below that figure.”

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
In onr telegraphic column will be found, a
brief sketch of a speech by ,thia distinguished
Massachusetts Statesman, delivered in Co-'
lumbia on Saturday last before one of the
largest political meetings ever held in South
Carolina. “ The telegraph informs us that the’
speech was very long, and that it was well
received ifey the people of. Carolina. The,
brief extract furnished us is sufficient to give
ns some idea of the bold^ manly' and truthful
utterances of the speaker, and to convince
ns not only of his sincerity, bid ;df fito fear
less devotion to the cause of the fJonstitu- .
tion, the Union, right and jnstmK&wffUj|
Adams is not only riot afraid to "speak 'tile
words of truth and soberness; to the. people
of the South, but wherever be has addressed
public assemblages in the North he has, with
equal power and boldness proclaimed 'the
true doctrines of Democratic Republicanism',
and arraigned the Radical party, ‘ even in
theif strongholds,] for their atrocious hypoc-
racy, falsehood, misrule and tyranny. From
a grpat speech, delivered by him recently in
Philadelphia, .we make the following extract:
the RadieaRparty North. Thenwhyris this*
army kept in these Republican States? Can
it be to prevent the people by'force from over-'
turning their beloved governments to rtile?
If not, why notfremoye the- soldiers ? Why
not allow those who are best able to rale to

Look at Alabama, her Legislature afraid to
let her people vote for President lest they

Hear how the whole chorus keep up the
constant doleful song “steamingnpa lamen
tation and an ancient tale of wrong, ” the bur
den of which, is “for God’s sake, don’t take
away the troops—for the love of Heaven send
ns rilles and bayonets—-do try and let ns have
a little more army—our foes compass ns
about—help ns or we perish.” Oh, my
friends, this reconstruction, foolish os it is,
illegal as it is it, void as it is, is a sham, a
pretence,' and a humbug, and ought to be
done away, and that right speedily. It is not
even what it professed to be, a reconstruc
tion, It is no new; Union; it has not the re-
motest relationship to the Constitution;it is
simply conquest in a new dress. Tha whole
aff air is as onr friend Mr. Carlyle wonld say,
nothing but a matter ofclqfoeH. And-this is
a matter of success ! Well,- gentlemen, if it
is so, then since 1779 up to 1865 the Ameri
can people have been satisfied and delighted
with the most atrocious failure in government
which the. world has ever seen.
But I will teU yon. my friends, what recon
struction does succeed in, and that is in forg
ing together' into one homogenous white-hot
mass the Southern whites, in inspiring them
with a haterwhich the war never stirred, in
driving them to a desperation which is as yet :
tempered with hope, and in spirting them
with that terrible incentive to mad deeds,
“ there can be nothing less tolerable than
this. ” You may suppress them to-day, you
may hold them down by force to-morrow, you
may shoot this man and hang that, trample
ont-the- insurrection here and stiffe n riot
there; but sooner or later, if the Southern
peopleare convinced that they have' the last
word from the North, see to it that your Watch
be vigilant, and your guard strong.

GEN. MEADE’S REPORT '

tary investigation of the Negro-Radical riot at

Sheriff Poore and otliers to the Legislative
Committee. It seems that Captain Mzua

all the signs deceive ns, but let us try to fore
see its probable, reaction at the North.
There is'hope yet for the country; aye, even
for New England, while such men survive the
national. degeneracy. While; such conserva
tive men as Seymour, Adams, Pendleton,
Doolittle. Hendricks, Hancock, Church and
Ewing.,, of the North and West, stand
firm ip defence of Constitutional government
anflniyil liberty, lpt what may befajl, there is
good reason to hope, that the day Of deliver
ance and restoration is not far distant .
It is not to be expected that Mr. Arm us,
viewing the past from a stand point so widely
different from onr own, should have the same
ninriicated by our Minister, that the compact
is similar in features. to foe treaty recently

Headq’es. Department op the South, )
... AtI^MTA, G;L, Oct. % 1SCS. )
Sir : Yon have been apprised that on re
ceiving intelligence of the disorders occuring
in this State on the 19th nit, at Camilla, in
Mitehell county, I at once had troops in
readiness to meet any call of the civil au
thorities, such as me referred to in the letter
of instruction from, the General-in-Chief of
date August 25th, 1868, and that at the same
time I despatched Captain Mills, a mqst re
liable and intelligent officer, on whose cool,
sound judgment and freedom from any preju
dices or party bias I could depend, to inves
tigate thoroughly, and report the facts in the
case. The affair passing off with the riot, or
rather collision of the 19th nit., and no call
having been made on me, the Legislature, as
I-think, properly declining the request of the
Governor to authorize him to make the. call,
no troops were sent. ■ The report of Captiun
Mills was yesterday received, and after its
perusal I deemed the, only thing for me. to do
was to transmit it to- the Governor of the
State, the officer with whom I am requested
fo communicate; and to assure him that in
any measures that might be taken by the civil
authorities in the. investigation Of the affair
and the punishment of direlect civil officers
or citizens, that in case he met with resistance,
and he or they found themselves unable to
'execute the laws, I was prepared, on being so
informed, to aid and co-operate with him to
the fullest extent of the force trader my com
mand. The letter to the Governor, 1 the re
port and accompanying documents Of Captain
Mills, me herewith forwarded by the hands of
Capt. McKibben, U. S. A., and I should be
pleased to receive any comment thereon
which yourself and the Secretary of War .or
President may choose to make. .-I. deem it
proper to add, that in a few days I shall dis
tribute the troops in the department with a
view of aiding the civil authorities to keep
the peace during the approaching Presiden-.
tial election.
Very respectfully.

The Darkey.
That shrewd old Scotchman, James Gordon
Bennett, says: “If the white and black races
in the South had been left to themselves, as
they are in New York and in all the North,
there would have been none of this anarchy,
none of this bloodshed, none of this “new
rebellion,” as the Radicals call it. In this
effort to elevate the,black race above the
white, the Radicals have excited in the former
visions of ease, plenty and equality which
they know can never be realized-in this age.
They have, awakened in the negro’s mind an
idea that he is greater; and more powerful
than his late master, and that when a ques
tion of jnstice or right arises between them,
the influence of the black mustlrick the beam.
But when the ignorant negro finds that the
promises of his white Radical friends are not
fnlfilter! he becomes an altogether different
creature from what he was, even in a state of
bondage. His savage and cruel nature is de
veloped. He becomes a marauder, a ravisher,
an incendiary, a debased and inhuman ani
mal. White citizens ore then obliged to de
fend themselves against the depredations of
the blacks, and naturally a collision occurs
in which it would be singular, if somebody
were not hurt All this springs from a viola
tion of the laws of nature, and of the. statute
in regard to the status of the two races,; which
the Radicals insist upon carrying ontinthe
South,, and which would be followed by-simi
lar deplorable occurrences,, were a like at
tempt made in the North, or in any commu
nity where theblacks have settled in any num

Payment of Bonds in - Gold.—Secretary
SjcCulloch, in answer to the question from- a

has been the invariable practice of the Gov
ernment to pay the principal and interest of
all bonds of the United States In coin, and -1
know no reason why a different course should
be pursued in regard to the bonds of 1881.”

Black against White.—We take the follow
ing from the New York Express:
A white man named Perkins will be hanged
to-day in Virginia for an ontrage of a terrible
character upon a white woman. He was as
sociated in the horrible outrage with a negro
named Benjamin Jefferson. They were both
tried and convicted, and sentenced to he
hanged together. . At the last moment Gov
ernor Wells commutes the punishment of the
negro to imprisonment for life, and leaves
the white dastard to swing. There was not
an iota of difference in the guilt of the two
wretches. The evidence was as conclusive
against the one as the other. No palliating
circumstance has come to light in favor of the
blackest scoundrel of the twain. Yet he is
saved to possibly do-further damage to so
ciety, and his companion, being of the de
spised Caucasian face, will be strangled; is
likely a dead man at tie time these lines will
meet the reader’s eye. We have no conclu
sion to reach but that Jefferson was saved
solely and wholly because he is a negro. The
telegraph would seem to favor this inference,
for it says: •)— V,
“This commutation of the extreme penalty
of the law by the Governor is regarded here
in a political light. This Congressional dis
trict gives 7,000 negro majority.”
Bo, for the sake of securing office and plun
der to the Radical carppt-bagger, negroes are
to be encouraged in outraging and murdering
white women, crimes which have been one of
the most terrible results of “Reconstruction.”

Broad street, was obaerved a negro woman
hauling and jerking a colored child, about
eight years old,, along by means of a rope
fastened around his neck. When going
down one of the cross streets, between Broad
and Front, she dragged the little hoy against
a fence, broke his skull and departed.. Those
who saw the occurrence thoaght-the child had

an appeal to the people, to obtain the voice
of foe people. Non-interference_ therefore,
was General Meade’s duty, excepting to pre
serve order, and to put into motion the po
litical machinery they provided to^ obtain the
voice of foe people. But what did General
Meade do? He immediately made himself a
partisan, to influence and control foe choice
of foe people, Because foe State govern

acts, to be “vrovisioiwT merely, he altered

delivering up innocent citizens to be tortured

And now, since by their own limitation, the

Alim util! hankering after foe blissful despot
ism with whichfoey clothed him; and in his
late Order No. 27,. scattering foe soldiery un
der his command, over the State of Georgia
to control it, he refers for his authority to th»
Reconstruction act passed 2d March, 1867.
HU introduces his order with the following: ’
1‘TYbebeas, By, act of the Congress of foe
United States, approved March 2d, 1867, it is
made the duty of military authority to pre
serve foe peace at foe polls at any election
that may be held in any of foe States; and,
whereas, this duty has become more impera
tive from existing political excitement in foe
public mind from foe recent organization of
civilgovemment, and from the fact that Con
gress has by statute prohibited the organization
of military forces in the several States of this
Department It is therefore ordered.”
Here is a Major General of the United
States Army who does,not know that foe Re
construction acts no fonger exist over foe
State of Georgia; which is now a State within
the Union of foe United States, with repre
sentatives in Congress. These acts did give
biin authority to preserve foe peace at foe
polls at foe elections they ordered by the bay
onets . of foe United States. But foe elec
tions now to be held in Georgia are ordered
by foe State of Georgia. They are State
elections, to elect Electors and Representa-
tiyes-of the State of Georgia. This “whereas"
alSo asserts “foe fact that Congress has
by statute prohibited - the organization of
military forces in foe several States
of this Department.” Here, again, are
foe Reconstruction acts, in winch Con
gress asserted that foe Southern States were
their territories, and therefore, it had a right
to rule them by a military satrap like General
Meade, and prohibit ali militaiy organiza
tions amongst their conquered subjects. But
Georgia is no longer a territory, nor General
Meade a satrap. She is. a State with all foe
rights and guarantees of the Constitution
over her. This Constitution says, 2d amend
ment: “A well regulated militia being neces
sary to foe security of a free State, the right
of foe people to keep and hear arms shall not
be infringed.” It also makes jt the duty of
Congress, “ to provide for organizing, arm
ing, and disciplining foe militia” of foe
States.i Article 1. Section 8. And the Presi
dent has no authority over the militia of foe
States excepting when called into service of
foeUnitod States; and then it is reserved to
foe States respectively, to appoint foe officers.
“ The authority of training foe militia accord
ing to the discipline provided by Congress
is also reserved to foe States. Now, with these,
clauses in foe Constitution, how conld Con
gress “prohibit bg statute, the organization of
military forces in foe several States of this De
partment.” Congress has done nothing of foe
kind. As. profligate and crazy as General
Meade’s Radical masters in Congress are,
they have never pretended to pontroj .foe
polls at elections in the States by foe United
States soldiery, or to prohibit foe people in
foe States from bearing arms, or from organ
izing and disciplining their militia in foe
States. These were foe grand expedients qf
foe beautiful despotism Gen. Meade, a short
time since presided over, to manufacture
negro governments for the South. They are
dead. They were buried, but Gen. Meade
digs them up, iu their fetid progress to a foul
and infamous decay, and flaunts and flings
their rottenness about, in the face of a dis-
isted, indignant and betrayed people. We
ig leave most respectfully to suggest, that
foe prelude Order No, 27 would have been
far more consistent with truth, if it had read.
—“-Whereas, The Government of foe United
States is a constitutionless despotism, whereof
I am a distinguished and faithful satrap,
therefore—sic volo, sic jubeo, ” <£e.
