THU PUT VUE.
Our sprightly cotemporary, the Ala
bama State Journal, has taken a peep into
the Future, and thinks it is not worth
while any longer to count the chances of
Republican success at the November elec
tions, or the slightest doubt but that
Grant and Colfax will be triumphantly
elected. He says this is conceded on ev cry
hand, and it only now remains to estimate
what majority they will receive in the.
Electoral College. Our cotemporary - pro
ceeds :
It may be set down as beyond peradven
tures thnt he will receive a popular ma
jority in the States named in the following
table, and consequently the whole electoral
vote of such States will be cast for Gen.
Grant. Look at if:
Illinois 1G Missouri 11
Indiana...,, 13 Nebraska 3
lowa ...» 8 Nevada 3
Kansas.., 3 New Hampshire.. 5
Mai ae. 7 Nort i Carolina... 9
s Massachusetts 15 Ohio 21
, Michigan 8 Rhode Island 1
' Minnesota 4 South Carolina.... C
West Virginia 5 Tennessee 10
Wisconsin 8 Vermont 5
Here is,a total of 151 votes which will
certainly be cast for (Hunt, and 159 are
necessary to a choice, Virginia, Missis
sippi and Texas being excluded from the
Electoral College. AH the States named
, in the table have given decided Republican
majorities at their general elections, and
under the present issues they will lie im
jwlled to give higher ones than ever. Mis
souri’: majority is 20,000. In West Vir
ginia it is 10,000, and will be largely in
creased.
Only eight additional Votes are necessary
to elect. Where shall we look for them?
The great frauds that are being perpetrated
in New York City may so overbalance the
Republicanism of that part of the State
outside of Manhattan Island, that her
thirty-three votes will be given to Sey
mour. We cannot claim New York as our
own, though the Republicans are very con
fident of success, both in the State and
Presidential elections. If the election was
fairly held, the State would be in no
duuger.
Pennsylvania is entitled to twenty-six
votes. Here lies the battle-ground, ami
here Democracy will be finally defeated, as
the backbone of the rebellion was broken
at Gettysburg. The Democratic majority
in 1867 was only 922, which can be readily
overcome. We count upon twenty thou
sand Republican majority. In 1860, she
gave Mr. Lixcoi.x 30,000 majority. At the
Gubernatorial election, she gave 20.000
RqiuUiean majority, more than twice as
much as was expected by the most san
guine. Her Kkvbrr*- will vote for Grant
which will give him the Presidency, with
eighteen votes to spare.
Oregon, Connecticut and California will
probably vote for Grant, which will give
him fourteen votes additional. in Califor.
nia, the Republicans were divided at the
last election, but this time they light umier
one banner. Her majority u ill astonish
the Democracy. The land of the setting
sun will repudiate them.
Seymour will certainly carry Kentucky
and Maryland, and probably New Jersey
ami Delaware. In the latter State the per
tentage of the votc.hn- been
decreasing for some.time, and at no <1 is
tant day she will be thoroughly Republi
can.
The reconstructed States are believed
by many to Ire doubtful. We can carry
them by a little exertion. In Georgia
there will be a very full vote, if the voters
arc protected in their rights, and rebel
assahlts prevented by the judicious distri
bution of the military a t doubtful points.
The recent high-handed act of the Georgia
Legislature, in unseating its colored mem
bers, will enttse such a rising among the
Republicans as has not been seen before,
ami if they arc not prevented from voting,
by violence, there will be a large Republi.
can majority.
Our iiuiiilxirs in Arkansas are small, and
parties arc so equally divided, that it is
difficult, to approximate the result. Hard
fighting, and the polling of the entire Re
publican vote, will give us the victory, but
if our friends there are not thoroughly
alive, she will comfort Mr. Seymour's
friends with live votes.
The vote of Florida will be cast by her
Legislature, and for Grant.
Louisiana is rather doubtful, but well
directed effort on the part of her public men
will preserve her to the Republican ranks.
The vote on the Constitution is hardly a
fair test, in any of the Southern States,
except in Alabama, from the fact that
many, though not Republicans, but who
desired to sec a regular government in
operation, voted for the Constitution, but
against the Republican candidates for
office. However, her vote will not chai: e
the result. It cannot lessen Gen. Grant's
majority, and may increase it.
Victory is at band. We have passed
through a fearful struggle, and now the
last contest is approaching. As error is
vanquished by/truth; as the rays of the
rising sun dispel the mists of the morning;
as the angelic hosts, led by Michael, over
threw the rebellious legions led by Lucifer,
so will the sham Democracy be forever
swept away by the resistless advance of
Republicanism.
■
In Pennsylvania a sharp lookout is kept
for Democratic frauds, and deep-laid schemes
have been discovered and frustrated. The
business of naturalization, however, had
been going on for some time in Philadelphia,
in a loose way, before the matter received
proper attention, and thousands of dishonest
certificates may have been issued. Our
friends cannot be too watchful in Ohio and
Indiana against all sorts of devices of a
desperate enemy, to whom funds have be n
furnished without stint for the October
crisis.— Cincinnati Chronicle.

MR. TURNER OF GEORGIA RE
PLIES TO MR. 11. 11. HILL.
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Siu:-I have just read with surprise and
amazement the explanation given by the
Hon. B-. 11. Hill of tho Camilla Riot, in your
paper of the 25th instant. I shall not re
ply to a series ol misrepresentations which
he lias nude and based thereon a charge
against the Republican party generally.
Negro as I arn, serni-bnrbariati as he calls
me, I have too much respect for his own
reputation as a criminal lawyer, to let the
country see that a half-savage can expose
his ignorance of notorious facts, or prove
tho worthlessness of his veracity. I shall
beg leave only to notice one of a long list
of misrepresentations.
Mr. Hill essays to make current tho idea
that we blacks arc a riotous, inflammable
dangerous race, lie would make the coun
try believe that we are more than half bar
barians. If such a statement were true, it
would speak badly for our Southern teach
ers, who have been educating us for over
200 years, and still worse for our white an
cestors who boast of their intelligence, and
gloat oyer their superiority of race: fur
while, at least, one-third of us have as white
fathers as Mr. Hill, more than half of us, in
some way or other, have white blood (like
his) in our veins. But let us leave this
feature of the case, as it is impossible to
think —without a feeling of shame—that
the laud consecrated to God by the Pilgrims
and reconsecrated by the blood of revolu
tionary patriots to human liberty and im
partial j iistice, should be so desecrated, so
defiled, so cursed, and so perverted from its
original purpose, by their rebellious and
wicked children.
The point 1 set out to make is this: All
statements, from v, hatever source they come,
representing the colored people of the South
as u riotous, disorderly, or lawless race, are
basely false and willful calumnies. 1 chal
lenge every white man in Georgia to show
au instance in which a negro ever attacked
his person, or first commenced any sort or
kind of quarrel with him
Str, the instance is not on record. And
let me, once for all, tell this country, and
tell the world, that iu every o.ise where
strife and collisions take place between
white and colored persons, it is invariably
inaugurated by the whites, and they know
it. Mr. Hill knows it, and the devil knows
it. When the whites have public meetings,
their speakers stand before thousands of
negroes if they tire present, as I have seen
and beard Mr. Hill do, and abuse ns for
everything he could think of: For example,
“dirty niggers,” “lousy niggers,” “lazy
niggers—and. then he would abuse Con
gress and the whole Republican party, and
advise the people to ignore, proscribe, and
not tn speak to any man wha endorsed Con
gress, until he has grown frantic, wild, and
seemed to have lost all sense of decency and
propriety. And we have stood and looked,
listened and laughed, and never uttered one
word in reply. And, if the whites would do
the same with us, tho sun would grow dark
and go out before a collision would take
place between us.
Now, as to the charge that we are incited
to riot by bad white men in our leagues, I
will s-iy, lor the information of the country,
that the object of these organizations (what
few there are) is merely to bring our people,
together in some formal manner for the
purpose of reading to them the speeches of
lending statesmen. Thousands who are
quite intelligent are not able to read : and
yet they are always begging some one to |
read tho papers *0 them, and, in order to |
facilitate the waiter, we read to them in
these organizations, not only on puhtics, out,
on industry, economy, honesty, virtue, his
tory, science, and on al! subjects tending to
elevate that race, and Mr. Hill would be
Irctjei employed than he is, if he was at
home uow. teaching th-tn in some respecta
ble schoul-hous
There is one thing I .would be glad to
know : How is it that only loyal or Ropub
lienn white men are bad men? According
to Mr. Hill's version, every white man in the
country who endorses Congress or Recoir
struction is a bad man. I have heard him
denounce Congress as being a conclave of
thieves; usurpers, constitution yiolators,
tyrauts < te., ami call them nances too hard
to nicntion. lie so represents Got. Bullock,
Gov. Brown, Mayor Blodgett, and erery one
else who supports Congress. It is strange to
me that nil Jheso arc had men, or, in other
words, that a man hoeomes bad ois s”On as
he resolves to <B>oy the laws of his country. .
I ain personally acquainted with the Hou.
John Murphy; also with Captain Win. I*.
Pierce. I believe the latter to be a gentle
man of the first order. As to the former
(Mr. Murphy), I know be is a gentleman,
and a good, intelligent citizen, and a more
couservativo Republican is not in the coun
try. He is the last man in Georgia who
would ever think of inciting a riot, or dis
obeying the laws of the land- Hence I hurl
back Mr. Hill’s charge, and brand it as an
infamous misrepresentation. I have written
much more than 1 intended, but you must
excuse me, as 1 am a sani barbarian, and of
course, have no sense.
Very respectfully,
H. M. Turner.

COLORED STATE CONVENTION.
The Convention of colored men met
yesterday nt 10 o’clock, \ ieu I’resideut
John T. Costin in the Chair.
Prayer by Rev. E. B. Rucker.
The minutes were read and approved
after 'some correction.
Mr. Turner took the Chair, and an
nounced the reception of a dispatch from a
Now York ■Convention, which was read and
ordered to go upon the Journals. The dis
patch read as follows:
Utica, N. Y., etc. —We tender you our
sympathy in this trying hour of your race.
Stand firm.
(Signed) J. W. Lognan,
Cliair’n New York Convention.
On motion of Mr. Costin, the following
dispatch was returned to the New York
Convention:
ILm. J. IF. L'rgnan, President of the Ncu>
Turk Convention:
Wa have your assurance of sympathy.
Thank you. We have dedicated ourselves
to the success of the issues at stake, and the
Empire State of the South joins hands with
the Empire State of the North in battling
for universal rights, Om Convention is large
aud a unit. Nearly one hundred counties
are represented—about 175 delegates now in
session, and more arriving.
(Signci) 11. M. Turner,
President Georgia State Convention.
On motion ol Mr. Houston, Mr. Belcher
was added to the list of Secretaries.
The hour of 1 o’clock having arrived, the
Convention adjourned till 3 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention met at the time appointed,
11. M. Turner in the Chair. The Committee
on Addiess to the People of Georgia re
ported a long and ably written document.
Time would not permit us to review it.
After some laudatory remarks from Simms,
of Chatham, Harrison, of Hancock, Beard,
of Richmond, and another delegate from
Thomas, whom the Convention would not
hear because he did not speak to the point,
the report of the Committee was adopted.
The Committee to memorialize Congress
then reported a still longer document, which
Mr. Simms read with much fluency. The
document appeared to be almost an analysis
of the Constitution ami of the laws of
Georgia, and argued the negro’s eligibility
to a seat in the General Assembly, or to any
position he might be elected to, with great
force. It slated that if the negro was ineli
gible to Lis seat, Georgia was still under
military rule, she is not in the Union, etc.
It finally concludes with the following
question. Speaking to Congress, it says :
Shall we look to your august body in the
future for protection from injustice as we
have in the past, or must we protect our
selves ?
The report was adopted by a standing
vote, and was unanimous.
Several other resolutions were then offer
ed, and referred to the respective commit
tee, when the House adjourned amid tho
wildest enthusiasm over the able reports of
the cupjmittoo. They met to-day at ten,
and will try and adjourn this evening or to- -
night.
A committee of ten delegates Were ap
pointed to draw up a Constitution and By-
Laws fur a State organization, to be known
as the Civil and Political Rights Associa
tion of Georgia. This is to be purely a
colored organization.

ENCOURAGING PR OSPECTS.
The great light goes ou sure for the right.
Vermont and Maine have spoken iu une
quivocal language. Pendleton telegraphs
from Ohio that he has abandoned tho con
test. Seymour writes that his friends have
plunged him into a sc.’, of troubles—that be
Cannot say how the campaign will go. On
all hands we see signs of Democratic trepi
dation and Republican confidence. Let the
loyal of the South rejoice.
There is something of retribution in all
this From his earliest conueqliou with
politics, Horatio Seymour has been identified
with official corruption. As one of the
Albany Regency—as the controlling spirit
of that combination of thieves—he has aided
in plundering both the Empire State and the
Federal Government. B irgain and intrigue
have always been tin staple of trade with
that infamous clique. Trade iu official
has been theit sole occupation. It
"there can be anything we desire above Re
publuLiu snecqss, it is ike overthrow of this
body politic of licensed highwaymen.
It is chiefly, however, in its Southern as
pect, that we congratulate the country on
the prospect. With the programme of
Frank Blair carried out, we plunge once
more into the vortex of civil strife, with
passions inflamed to a pitch that will emu
late the horrors of the French Revolution.
With Grant and Colfax the sentiment of
nationality which culminated iu the triumph
near Richmond, will become a fixture in
in our history as a nation. Disintegration
will no longer bo possible. As one people,
as the proudest nationality ever known, we
shall take a predominant stand in the his
torical annals of future ages. The success
of Democracy would be the converse of this
proud destiny. Warring factions, States
subverted, public credit dishonored, the
ruin of public finances and individual for
tunes will all follow such a crowning dis
aster. There is hope—nay, almost certainty
—that all this will be prevented, and the
Federal Government, like John Brown’s
soul, will march on.

were occasionally sent back and forth be

POLITIGAL.
11. C. Lee, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of Massacliuswtts in
1860, supporta Grant and Colfax.
President Johnson is said to have ex
pressed the opinion that Seymour will not
carry more than four States.
The Philadelphia Press learns that Gen.
Thomas Egan, known as one of President
Johnson’s most intimate friends, has de
clared for Grant.
—The betting on the Pennsylvania elec
tion now stands at one thousand on the
Republican ticket to seven hundred on the
Democratic Many bets are being made at
these rates.
—Governor Smith, of Vermont., is a can
didate for the seat of Mr. Edmunds in the
U. S. Senate. The latter will also be put in
nomination by his friends on the expiration
of his term.
The impression prevails that there will be
trouble in Indiana on the day of clectioii'if
any attempt is made to colonize Kentucky
voters. Many men arc said to be pledged to '
resist such an outrage with all the means in
their power.
Dr. IL Z. Mason, of Appleton, Wisconsin,
who was a prominent candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress in the
Fifth District of that Stale, addressed the
people of Appleton, last week, in favor of
Grant and Colfax.
The political canvass in Delaware is being
actively prosecuted by both parties. Tuesday
night the Republicans held a meeting in
Wilmington, and on Wednesday the Democ
racy were assembled. Republican speakers
are stumping the lower counties.
On a railroad train in Pennsylvania a
vote of the passengers wtr.i taken, which
resulted: for Grant, 68 ; 'or Seymour, 10.
An old lady stopped the canvasser and re
marked : “ I can’t vote, gentlemen, but I am
going to keep one Seymour man at home.”
General B. F. Stringfellow, of Atchison,
Kansas, well known as a leading border
ruffian during the Kansas troubles, and
during the rebellion a rebel sympathizer, has
published a long letter in the Atchison
Champion, in which he declares himself in
favor of the election of Grant and Colfax.
A New Orleans paper says : The Blair
Guards, on Friday, and the Seymour Guides,
on Saturday, paraded through the streets,
carrying the Confederate colors—-the three
bars, red, white and red—whigji attracted
general attention, and excited emotions of
approval or condemnation, according to the
political bias of the spectator.
The Lynchburg Virginian says it is very
obvious that “some change” has occurred at
the North to inspire the Republicans with
the strongest hopes of success in the Presi
dential election. The October elections are
to settle the whole question. If Pennsyl
vania and Ohio go against the Democrats,
says the Virginian, “the cause will be lost;”
if not, there will still be room for hope.
