say to the merchants: ‘You throw your

—Some important improvements have

puddling iron and cast steel, which are de
scribed in the Bergttnd Ifiittenmannsehe
Zeitung ns follows: “As in bessiuiering,
we have air blown into the melted iron in
the furnace, but in this case it is blown
through openings in ‘.he iron rakes, which
are used in stirring the iron. Instead of
many small holes in the rakes, which are
hard ta keep from slag, it is better to use a
broad slit, or rectangular opening, of about
half an inch broad by three or four inches
long. In order to prevent 100 great super
heating, a few blow-tubes are used, con-
■ Heeled by India-rubber tubes with tlje air'
chamber The blast is turned on before the
rake is up in the mass of iron, and shut off
after it is taken out. By employing these
rakes, the time of the operation is reduced
from thirty to forty minutes to ten. Flying
sparks at the commencement of the opera
tion show the separation of silicia.” It is
claimed that this process separates the phos-
• phorus and sulphur better than any other.
—The Pope’s apostolical letter to Protest
ants and other “non Catholics,” has been
published in England. The Church News
(ritualistic) expresses its willingness to for
give the Holy Father for classing Anglicans
with Protestants in his apostolical letter to
non-Catholics. The blame of this mistake,
it says, is not attributable to His Holiness,
but to somebody in England. The Rev. Dr.
White, Presbyterian minister, of Islington
Church, Uverpool, lias written a letter to
the Pope, declining His Holiness' invitation
to Protestants “to return to the Roman
Catholic Church,” in conneelion with the
proposed General Council, on the ground
that he can not do so consistently with his
subscription to the Westminster Confession
of Faith. Like a lady, however, the reverend
doctor concentrates all the pith of his let
ter into the postscript, which runs as fol
lows : “J sincerely congratulate your Holi
ness on the improved tone of your commu
nicatiorr. Might I venture to suggest that
you would carry out the assumed spirit a
little further, so as to grant to all the inhabi
tants of Rome liberty to worshi -God ac
cording to the dictate of their co. icnee;
and also to exert your great influence to
obtain the release of those who arc pining
in Spanish and other dungeons in Roman
Catholie countries for reading the Word of
God.”

I'LATFOBJI.
Tlie National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assuWd suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, or Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2d. 'The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal meu in the Sbuth was demanded by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage
in all the Joyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce al) forms* of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the* public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced ns rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, lor
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best policy to diminish onr burden of
debt is to so improve our credit tbnt capitalists will seek
to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now
pay, and must continue to pay, so iong as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
administered with the strictest econopiy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed amt
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridieal re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions: has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other
officers to Ignore and violate the laws; has employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty and life of the citizen: has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
fith. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, he is
always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citterns are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in his behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials Os the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's
protecting care.
11th. Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered artd encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rig
STICKS To IT.
Brick Pomehoy, since the defection of
the BtnZT, the leading Democratic editor
in New York city, tights for Blais and the
revolutionary platform with unabated zeal.
He says of the Brodhead letter, the Con
vention, and Blair :
But the Brodhead letter is the great
stumbling-block in the path of these men.
What have they’ to do with that ’ Did not
the National Convention nominate General
Blair in the face of the Brodhead letter—
aye, and because of it' Then who are
they, pretending to be Democrats, who
have the right, or will dare, to go back of
the action of the Convention' The doc
trines of the Brodliead letteY were substan
tially embodied in the platform, and are
the policy of the Democratic party. Had
not this and other parts of the platform
been assailed by traitors and knaves in our
ranks, we should have succeeded in the
October elections, and the Presidential can
vass would have been reduced to a cer
tainty.
Boldness in action, fidelity to principle,
and a spirit which scorns to take counsel
of fear, and will not entertain a doubt of
victory, is what a crisis like the present
demands. Rouse, fellow-Democrats, and
gird on your armor for the final straggle,
ami in this spirit we may yet conquer.

DISCORD TO HE KEPT UP.
Wc hail fondly hoped that nftcr the
election of Grant nnd the inauguration of
his administration, all efforts to make the
laws of the Southern States odious and to
disregard and resist them, would be abiin"
doned by all parties, and that, instead of
attempts to alienate the people against the
Government of the United States, nnd of
the people of the North, and of the Repub
licans of the South, all would heartily join
hands and aid in restoring Georgia’s deso
lated fields and in repairing the shattered
fortunes of the individual citizens, and in
restoring an era of good feeling generally.
This was the general expectation and de
sire of the Republican party of Georgia. -
But it seems we arc doomed to disappoint
ment, if the wily schemes of base politicians
are to be heeded.
There is a letter purporting to be writ
ten from New York .city, published in the
Ku-Klux organ yesterday morning, signed
“Tyrone Powers," which recom
mends the most diabolical resistance to the
provisions of the State Constitution of
Georgia, and of other Southern States,
even if‘General Grant is elected, which
the correspondent tacitly admits as a cer
tainty. No more treasonable sentiment
ever emanated from the pen of a traitor
than those of this correspondent. If heed
ed by the people it will lead them into
immeasurable troubles, into which it is
more easy to get than to get out. This
mischievous writer says that colored suf
frage must not be recognized by the people
of the South under any circumstances.
We thought that that was the issue made
at New York on the 4th of July. That is
one of the issues to be decided on the 3d
of November. But the Ku-Klux organ
docs not propose to acknowledge the de
cision. What can he do about it ? What
can his revolutionary endorsers do I Are
they simply to continue their incitements
to proscription and murder ’ If so, wc
mildly suggest that somebody may get his
neck stretched.
The long cock-and-bull story about a
change in the manner of counting the vote
of the peojtle is every word false, gotten
up for the purpose of deceiving the people
and increasing their animosity to their
political opponents. The article in ques
tion was written for a purpose, and the
purpose is a bad one. We hope it may
fall still-born. Wc hope good citizens arc
tired of strife. We hope they are willing
to accept General Grant as Mei;-President,
and obey The laws of their country, as good
citizens should.

From the New York Times.]
MADNESS OE THE SOUTH.
What are the Southern Democrats think
ing about? Have they all gone mad? Or
do they give up the political contest and
resolve to start at once on the new crusade of
murder and assassination they have been so
long predicting ? Political murders seem to
be the order of the day, not in any one State
or any one section, but throughout the entire
South. A negro member of the South Caro
lina Senate, standing on the pl atform of a
railroad ear, is approached by three white
men ami deliberately shot. Ills ojnly offence
was that he had been making a Republic in
speech. In Arkansas, a deputy sheriff, while
serving subpoenas, is seized, tied to a negro,
and both are shot. In North Carolina, half
a dozen negroes are seized at night in their
beds, mutilated, whipped and otherwise mal
treated, because of their color and political
sentiments, by a roving gang of the “ruling
race." And these are but specimens of the
brutal tyranny exercised in the South upon
all, whites and blacks, who hold nnd utter
Republican opinions.
Do Southern Democrats dream that these
things aid their cause ? Do they not know
'an<l see that it is precisely things of this sort
that an making it utterly impossible f r
decent men anywhere to support them? Do
they not see that acts of this kind, showing
their utter contempt for justice and human
rights, and their purpose to restore, in their
worst forms, all the most hideous features of
slavery, arc burying their hopes of political
restoration and influence beyond all chance
of resurrection ?
Do they fumy that the people of the na
tion will tolerate such acts of outrage? Do
they expect to k >t-p them tip without let or
hindrance from the National Government ?
If they do they tire doomed to a speedy
awakening from their delusion. Mr. Adams,
whom they invitej South to give them coun
sel, has told them that one of the things
which the war has secured, and which the
people will never relinquish, is the “equal
right of every citizen of the United States to
travel, speak, and live in any State, so long
as he does not infringe the rights of others."
They may rely upon it, the people will vin
dicate this right—peaceably if they can,
forcibly if they must. The whites in the
South are not wise if they hope or strive to
prevent it. They can involve themselves in
much misery and the country in a good
deal of trouble, but they cannot possibly
defeat that put pose. They can make their
own States the scene of confusion, of strife,
of assassinations, and of slaughter. They
may push the matter so far as to renew the
war and bring it much closer homo to them
selves than the war of the rebellion. But
if they do they will bring down upon their
own heads a degree of desolation and ruin
to which what they suffered in the late
war, will seem but the sport of a Summer
day-
It behooves the people of the Southern
States to be “wise to-day.” They will find
it “madness" beyond all precedent to
“defer. They have nothing whatever to
gain : a: d everything they have, be it much
or little, they will certainly lose, by persist
ing in the path on which they seem inclined
to enter.
A New Candidate for President.—
An important movement is on -foot to
bring out Petroleum V. Nasby tor the Presi
dency in place of Horatio Seymour. This
change in the ticket would have the advan
tage of replacing the already defeated can
didate with a man not personally obnoxious
to the rank and file of the unwashed, and in
any way involved in any loyal connections.
Some Pennsylvania local politician is sug
gested for the second place on the ticket, in !
the hope of retrieving the State. This move
ment will explain the presence ot Nasby in
Philadelphia at the ptesent time.— Phila.

5 11. HILL.
Me. Editor:— Did Hon. B. H. Hill make
a speech in the Confederate Congress, of
which the following is an extract?
“These Confederate States shall and must
be independent. Our glorious Confederacy
will then be the most perfect Government
on the face of the earth ; and we shall see
the Northern, Eastern and Western States
begging on their knees to be admitted to
our glorious Confederacy. But they never
will be admitted with my consent, except as
hewers of wood and drawers of water.”
Citizen.
COMING OUT.
That excellent Democrat, Gov. Bramlctte,
of Kentucky, pronounces that other excel
lent Democrat, B. H. Hill, of Georgia, a
shameful tradueer. This is the way of it:
Mr. Hill wrote to ns concerning the Camilla
massacre:
“ I know both Pierce and Murphy, the
two white men who conducted this whole
affaift They are the most emphatic speci
mens of what are termed carpet-baggers."
Now, wc know what this means, from the
Southern journals, since one of them, the
luka Gazette, has been good enough to
furnish a definition:
“ The carpet-bagger is a Northern thief,
who comes South to plunder every white
man whois a gentleman of any property or
respectability, and get all the offices he
can.”
Whereupon Gov- Bramlctte comes to the
rescue as follows:
“ Louisville, Kt., Oct. 8,1868. —1 t hav
ing been brought to my notice that Capt.
\V. P. Pierce, late of the 11th Kentucky
Cavalry, now a resident of Georgia, and a
candidate for Congress 4 has been shame
fully traduced in his character as a citizen
and soldier, 1 deem it but an act of justice
to state that I have known him from his
infancy, intimately and wdll, and there is no
better character in Kentucky than he.
His father, Dr. J. S. Pierce, was, during
many years of his life, my intimate per
sonal friend; was an eminent physician,
and one of our first-class citizens. Capt.
Wm. P. Pierce was commissioned by me
(as Governor of Kentucky) Captain of
Company A, ,11th Kentucky Cavalry, on
the 7th of August, 1864, having previously
served as Sergeant, and been promoted to
Adjutant of the regiment.. His character
in the army was that of a gallant soldier,
and his promotion for gallant services. He
was, from a boy, a Republican, or, as we
terra them, Abolitionist, in politics. I
cheerfully, and as an act of justice to a
meritorious young man, bear testimony to
his good character as a citizen, and merito
rious services as a soldier.
“ Thos. E. Bbamlette.”
Wc respectfully submit to the modest
gentleman who, from the safe stand-point of
a New York hotel, undertook to enlighten
us concerning events occurring in Georgia,
that according to his code here is an op
portunity for a square fight or a square re
traction. We have too much respect for
him to believe that he would presume to
maintain a position which he knows to be
wrong, and especially to maintain it against
such a man as Gov. Bramlctte; and so we
expec t to see from him a frank admission
that he lias deliberately, in cold blood, with
full knowledge of the facts, and for a mere
political purpose, “ shamefully traduced ”
“a gallant soldier and good citizen” who,
being thousands of miles absent, was un
able to repel or resent the calumny. Wc
have no fancy for further letters from Mr.
Hill on general subjects, since his rhetoric
requires inordinate space for its evolutions,
I and we might besides be giving place to
other slanders of gallant soldiers behind
their backs. But we beg to observe to Mr.
Hill that he can have as much space as this
article occupies, to apologize to our readers,
and to Gov. Bramlctte, for rushing into
print to “shamefully traduce in his charac
ter ns a citizen and soldier” a resident of
his own State, than whom “no young man
in Kentucky had a better character.” — N. }'.

The Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby.
Mark Twain tells the following story of
one of the small republics of South Ameri
ca : “There was war in one of these little
republics -the one I have been describing.
The General-in-Chief asked the President
for three hundred men ; the President
ordered the Minister of War to furnish them;
the forces—just the number wanted —were
down on the seacoast somewhere. The
Minister of War requested the Minister of
the Navy to place the navy of the repub
lic nt the disposal of the troops, so that they
might have transportation to the scat of
W; r. The Minister of the Navy (an official
who had seen as little of ships and oceans
us Oven Mr. Secretary Welles) sent a courier
to whete the schooner was with the neces
sary order for the Lord High Admiral.—
The Lord High Admiral wrote back u ‘Your
Excellency, it is impossible. You must be
aware that this is a 60-ton schooner. There
is i.ot room for three hundred men in her.’
The stern old salt in the Navy Office wrote
back : ‘lmpossible Nonsense. Make room.
Heave the tons overboard and bring the
soldiers.’ Any way to get them there, so I
they them there, was till this brave sea I
horse called for.”
POLITICAL.
Texas papers strongly urge a division of
the State. The subject will be a prominent
feature of the adjourned meeting of the
Constitutional Convention in December.
The Manchestei (N. II.) Union Denio
cral ■says that the prevalence of intemper
ance in that State is lamentable, and that
the election of Seymour and Blair is neces
sary for its suppression.
The Richmond Enquirer says that none
of the Southern delegates to the New York
Convention exercised any real force in
framing the Democratic platform, which, to
say the least, is somewhat unjust to General
Wade Hampton.
The Gallopolis (Ohio) Journal says: “A
private letter received from a Kentuckian by
a gentleman says: ‘Very many people here
are buying Confederate bonds at ten cents
on the dollar, in anticipation of the election
of Seymour and Biair, in which event they
believe the bonds will be at par, or at least
of a value approaching par.’ ”
The Southern papers, now that the smoke
of the political contest in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana begins to lift, discover
that the Democratic effort in those States
was merely a reconnaissance in force, and
that the real battle will take place in No
vember, with every prospect of a successful
issue. Nevertheless, they will probably not
bet much on the coming election, and will
spend loss.
Horatio is reported to have perpetrated
the following joke since the late elections:
An old friend, a War Democrat, met the
Governor, who appeared to be in a serious
and thoughtful mood, when the former ex
claimed, “Cheer up, Governor ; things will
come out ali right; Grant is a good Demo
crat- So the best thing you can do is to
fall in line with the Boys in Blue.” “It
strikes me we are blue enough already/ re
plied Horatio, as he strode off with a melan
choly air.
Our figures from Ohio foot up a Republi
can majority of 16,966. The official figures
will probably not vary 100 either way from
17,000.
Indiana, nearly official, gives 961 Repub
lican majority. Baker’s majority can not
fall below 800. The average majority on
the State ticket will reach 1,500.
Mr. Train has published an address to
the American people, in which he advises
all Irishmen to vote for Grant. He ad
duces proofs to show that the Democrats
are friendly to England,
The National Intelligencer publishes a
dispatch, announcing that Mr. Augustus
Belmont, the Chairman of the National
Democratic Executiue Committee, will sail
for Europe shortly. We cannot believe that
the generalissimo of the Democratic forces
will desert the field at this awful crisis of
the party’s fortune.
