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. - K .♦ . < 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.” -r-m-. ®*F«h Ship News and Commercial, see fourth Page. . • >•>♦* V —— 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 rale ?;• That is Republicanism. that not orie of these governments could: a moaaahfcwjtBbutan army, orJn StUtt army, and yet this is the last new thing in re publics. is a model iuodem'Reptiblfc.

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. “Lest when their latest hope is fled, ye'taste of their . despair; GEN. MEADE’S REPORT ' MILIiA AFFAIl We published yesterday, as a matter of his tory, Gen. Sibley’s official report of the mili tary investigation of the Negro-Radical riot at Camilla, which, as - onr readers willriavoab- . served, fully corrd^orate the statements of Sheriff Poore and otliers to the Legislative Committee. It seems that Captain Mzua the. South; or history has taught in vam-and 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 .

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. Your obedient servant, George H. Meade, - Major General ► im ■ < 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 bers.—New Hark Democrat Payment of Bonds in - Gold.—Secretary SjcCulloch, in answer to the question from- a business man in New York, whether there is any doubt about the bonds, sixes, 1881, being paid in gold, principal and interest, says: “It 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.” 3 ». • m ■ * — rr- ,.. Farms in Florida.—Returns received at the General Land Office show that during the past month' fifty-four farms, embracing 4,699 acres, were added to the productive area of the State of Florida, by locating at the local office at Tallahassee, under' the opera- tioe of the homestead act of 'June 21, 1866., The Delaware election on Tuesday last, says the Philadelphia.Age, resulted in a.clean sweep for the Democracy. -There is scarcely a vestige of Radicalism left in the-“Diamond; State.” Such a victory was never before won by her gallant Democracy.

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.” .-— • -*">■»—*. . A Fiend Mother—Child’s Skull Broken. —Thursday morning, on the lower portion of 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 laid down, andthe woman was umvilfrag to. draw him. further. Several negroes passed by, but they gave no heed to the matter..The child foy there until' afternoon, when a Dem ocratic gentleman’s attention was called to him.

A man named Hancock, of New York city, : some time since challenged T. C. Hearn,, of Florida, to fight a duel. The challenge was accepted, and a meeting arranged for Wed nesday at the Etysisn Fields. The • affair came to the knowledge of the police, and all the parties,- .principals, . seconds, surgeons, etc., were arrested, except Hancock, wfio fled to Philadelphia. . Revolvers, etc., were fouud in their possession. Good trick for Hancock. It was more hu mane to have his antagonist arrested than to shoot him; besides,’it was safer. t[t t ‘ Health of the. British Queen. —The Dril- ish Medical Journql contains the snbjoraed. statement: “We regret to say that the para graph in last Saturday’s Lancet respecting the health of her Majesty has very little founda tion. The health of the Queen has; we hope, received some benefit from the change of air and scene, and rest from her pnerons . public. duties; but while her Majesty will continue, , os heretofore, to regulate public bnsiness, the Queen will not, we fear, be able to bear the fatiguing excitement of a lengthened resi dence in London, and of the continued re ceptions attendant on each, circumstances. . — ►-»♦* « . ■ r .

There was. nothing compulsory In their acts. .They distinctly leave it to the Southern people, to accept of the terms they propose, or to reject them. Most clearly, a cnrAmamW officer, whose duty It was made to enforce the<ra acts, should most scrupu lously have respected the free volition, these acts extended to the people of the Southern States. This free volition was the great leading feature of these acta They affected 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 ments then in existence, were declaredby these acts, to be “vrovisioiwT merely, he altered and changed them ra various ways, to bring about and to enforce, foe kind of government be wished to prevail He even went down to Florida, and there en tered foe, convention with his aids , ' and in fos presence, one of : bis’ subordinates was made'to address foe convention, and by ' his official and personal influence, controlled foe conyention to accomplish his purposes. In his intense partizanship, he forgot humani- ty—he forgot foe service to which he belong ed, and foe country he represented, and de graded and disgraced hofo, foe arresting and delivering up innocent citizens to be tortured under his authority, by expedients and cruel ties unheard of in any Christian country, since foe days of the Spanish Inquisition. And now, since by their own limitation, the Reconstruction acts under which these cruel ties were perpetrated, are abolished, we find 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. ‘Georgia Chapter, No. 3, R.
