I was a candidate for desired the united support lends on both sides, and as I tut I bad been endorsed by all candidates. I decided that it uuwise, to say the least of it, to partisan in this matter. The preutions which met in this city on >f July, passed resolutions en- donkftg mo atid instructing their dele- i vote for my le-nomiuaVion. “Strict Convention met in Union on the 22d inst. My friend, Irix, had provided a special car le delegates from this city to logs. Tickets were offered to tho varioiH delegates through their chair- scepted by all except Mr. Kob- declined. ifter my arrival ia Union Friday night, Col. W. Betts, lamed me, received a telegram jity statiug that a special train, jtthe Oourt.houae delegation and mber of other persons, had just that they were coming for the of riding rough-shod over my id defeating me. At a late hour ^ht the train arrived with a large if persons, and immediately the id the Court house were filled i—some loudly boasting that come to defeat me; several told the leaders, as I am informed, proclaimed that they intended to point' or have a fight with the who favored my renominAtion, eg leave to refer you to the Union \lleraldaitd Timet, of August 26tb, moral ion of this statement. When iven iou met, on the next day, Mr. ;of Barbour, was made temporary and a committee of seven on s appointed.

The report* •# fie*Oommittee on Credentials was delayed from time to time. It «N imported that a special train was on the way from Montgomery with three hundred additional men on board who were coming to assist in defeating me at ail hazards. This could not have been accomplished without a serious disturb ance—involving, perhaps, a loss of life. In order that yon may fully understand the condition of affairs at this time, I la; before *fWT the following notes whiei were admml to my friend, Captain Hendrix; daring the day by Hon.

John HendrixAs I wrote you two hours sinot, I fear there will be bloodshed, as our men from the country are exasperated, and are getting to a fever heat with the Robinson-Knox crowd. If Rapier cau make any terms with them it will be better than for this trouble to oontinue, for if it does until night I fear the consequences will be such as we will all regret. Yours, Ac., W. H. Black. August 24, 1874. Union Springs, Aug. 22, 1874. Dear John . —See Rapier and see if he oan't make some compromise with these fellows from Montgomery, for I tell you there will be bloodshed here. The senti- meats of both Republicans and Demo crats arc snob as to bring about blood shed. If he can make any terms with the Robinaonites it will be for the good of the ltepublicaus of this town. They are mad, and I fear there will be some disturbance. We of course are for him all the time. Yours, do., Algee Mabson. The following note has been addressed to me by Mr. C. M. Bangh, the acting postmaster at Union Springs: Union Springs, Aug. 26, 1874. Hon. J. 1\ Jlapitr, Montgomery, Ala.: Dear Sir—Upon information aud be lief, I am satisfied that the terms you made with the Knox party here on last Saturday, 22d instant, was the best thing you could have done for the Republican party—and for all parties interested—and probably prevented bloodshed and a riot. Hoping you will meet with the success yon merit at the hands of the Republicans of this district, I am yours, very truly, C. M. Baugh. It will thus be seen that a serious con flict was imminent which might, perhaps, dolnge the court-house and streets of Union Springs w'ith human blood, and cast a stigma upon the Republican party which nothing could afterwards efface. It w as at this stage of the proceedings— while I was in the bsok room of the Pro bate Judge's office conversing with Judge McDuffie, of Lowndes oounty, upon the Busteed impeachment case—that Mr. H. V. Oashin, one of the court-house delega tion, brought me a paper for my signature which, he said, would end all confusion. I had stood all day between augry dis putants, sometimes even foroing them to put up their deadly weapons, and now the danger seemed more iinmineut than ever, if peace and harmony was not at once restored. The Committee on credentials had not yet reported, and the immense crowd were breathlessly awaiting their report, which would be the signal, it was feared, for the commencement of the difficulty, which appeared to be imminent. Hence, thongh I had refused the same terms of compromise at different times during the day, I gave my signature to the paper. Besides restoring peace and harmony in the convention, I felt that I owed it to the people of Union Springs to do all that was in my power to save them from a disturbance, which would, probably, endanger the lives and property of the citizens. I bad often spoken in that tow n, and the greatest oourtesy had al ways been shown me by the citizens, and I could not allow myself to be the means of involving them in riot and bloodshed. While my action in this matter served to prevent difficulty in the Convention, yet I regret to say that the pledge thus obtained from me has plaoed me in a po sition of antagonism to a large number of the citizens of this District; and while I believe it was my duty to use any and all means, as a last resort, to preserve the public peace, I do not feel that the public can or will hold that a pledge, obtained under suoh circumstances, is binding upon me, when I can prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Convention was largely in my favor, and that there was no need of my making a bargain to secure my nomination, for every delegate to that Convention had been instructed to vote for me. As an evidence of my faith in this state ment, I unhesitatingly say, that if the same delegates who were dulv elected could be assembled again, I would submit the case to them, and abide the result of their decision. As I before stated, I studiously avoided taking any part in the local affairs of this county, before and up to the holding of the Convention at Union Springs. This shall be my position in the future, if both sides will agree to it. Knowing how embarrassing it is for a man to go into a canvass with pledges hanging over him, I am compelled by a sense of duty to ask that I be relieved from the obligations of the pledge made at Union Springs, under the circumstances I have described, except so much as is consistent with my former course, name ly: to take no side in county matters in this or any other county in the District; aud I believe that my friends throughout the county and District will sustain me in this position. Now to the pledge itself: I tried to pro cure a copy, in order to lay it before you, but up to this time I have failed. There is nothing in it that I have promised to do that is criminal. In so far as relates to Judge Busteed. I may say that Hays, of Alabama, and many first-class lawyers North believed that the evidenoe adduced last wiuter before the committee was not sufficient to warrant the House in sustain ing the articles of impeachment, and, af ter reading the testimony very carefully, I arrived at the same conclusion, aud I said so at different times in Washington and Montgomery ; and inasmuch as there has been no additional evidence siuce that time, then wbat excuse could I give for ohanging my mind, that an intelligent country would respect ? And as to my saying that the Buckley ticket is the regular one, it is only what you and others are saying every day, not withstanding the action of tho State Convention, and at best could only be the opinion of one humble member of the party, and entitled to no more con sideration, aud I never intended thereby to influence the action of a single voter. But this is what annoys ine, that under embarrassng circumstances I was forced, in the interest of peace and order, to forsake the line of policy adopted by me, and place myself apparently on the fide of one of the two existing factions in this couuty, which can but be detrimen tal to my political interest, because I have strong friends on both sides. Now, sir, I have made a fall and fair statement of this case to my friends. Nothing have I concealed, and I believe they will sustain me. Knowing that I am the choice of nine teen out of every twenty Republicans in this district as their standard bearer in this political contest, I will, as soon as I return from Washington, proceed to make a vigorous canvass in the interest of the Congressional and State tioketa. Truly your friend, Ao., James T. Ranis. UEORU1A NEWS. From the New York Herald, 28th.

Heuce the term “white ele- u M “— FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. pliant,” in its general application to any cumbersome and costly undertaking by a government, a party or an aspiring poli tician. For example, the late “peculiar institution” of the South was the white elephAUt of the Democratic party; and as an object of veneration, it was somewhat profitable withal, until the pampered pa chyderm turned upon its keepers and trampled them in the dust. The Repub- lican party then came to the front, and, after slaying the Democratic white ele phant, as St. George slew the dragon, in a right royal way oa the field of battle, set up in his place its black elephant, or, as Mr. George T. Downing defines him, “the Americau citizen of Afrioau descent,” or as the disgusted old line Democrat de scribes him, “the almighty nigger." And from 1860 to this day, in following his banner with its strange devices, the Re publican party has bad the victorious ca reer of a grand combination menagerie and circus on a summer campaign. Beginning with its revolutionary victo ry in 1860, under the bold declarations of “no further extensions of slavery” and the “abolition of those twin relics of bar barism, slavery and polygamy," the Re publican party, in the repeal of the Fugi tive Slave law*, in the abolition of Rluvery in the Dirtrict of Columbia, in the eman cipation proclamation, in the war against slavely aud in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the consti tution, has marched from victory to vic tory. But with the legacy from Charles Sumner to the Republican party of his Civil Rights bill, its blaok elephant, we fear, is overloaded. Logically this Civil Rights bill may be necessary to complete the work, to cap the pyramid of civil and political equality as between whites aud blacks under onr new constitution ; but practically the bill promises nothing but mischief for Southern whites aud blacks and to the Republican party and its car pet-baggers. General Grant expressed the opinion some time ago that the Republican party was carrying such a heavy load of mon strosities that the time had cornu for throwing some of them overboard. And he set the party some good examples in lightening the ship and casting overboard such deadweights as tho would-be Gov ernor Davis, of Texas, aud the would-be Governor Brooks, of Arkausas. Aud since the settlement of the Arks^pas gubernatorial squabble, the Presi dent, in declining to be used by the Southern blacks in their local riots against the w'hitos aud among themselves in Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and other Southern States, has shown that he, at least, has had enough of armed intervention in the local concerns of those States, and that he believes it will be well to try for a season the constitutional ex periment of giving to the Southern States the same general jurisdiction over their State affairs that is exercised by the Northern States. We dare say that Gen eral Grant is opposed to this sweeping and dangerous Civil Rights bill, now r only awaiting its passago by the House of Rep resentatives and its approval by the Pres ident to become a law, and we dare say that upon the trst of this bill, if made a law, the Republican party will be disas trously defeated in every Southern State excepting South Carolina aud Mississippi. As the bill stauds, the general hue and cry of the Southern whites agaiust it hus driven even the Republican carpet bag gers to special pleadings and explana tions. But the Southern opposition ele ments say this bill was adopted in a Con gressional Republican caucus as a party measure; that as a party measure ho de creed it was passed by the Senate; that as a party measure several attempts were made to rush it through the House, and that if defeated by Southern Republican votes, cast against it iu every attempt, the bill may yet be passed at the next session of the same Congress, when the State elections of this year will no longer be in tho way* Many Southern white Republicans re coil with indiguation from the civil rights proposed to bo enforced nnder this ob noxious bill, particularly tho right to en force the mixing of black children with white children in the public schools on a footing of equality, aud under tho power of the Hxecutive and the Judiciary, and of the army and navy of the United States if necessary. Evidently in several, if not in most of the Southern States, the blacks are estimating at too high a figure the advantages they are sure to gain under this Civil Rights bill. They even seetu to thiuk that in anticipation of this bill they may do as they please, and that the Gov ernment is bound to sustain them. We are gratified, therefore, to perceive that they, too, are to be taught submission to their local laws aud authorities, and that Government bayonets are no longer to bo used in support of the colored citizens of the South, whether they are orderly or riotous, right or wrong. We bnvo had 2 uito enough of tho supremacy of the ederal bayonet in the local affairs of the South, and we uro glad that thero is to be an end of it. The whites of the South, we are pleased also to perceive, have some rights which the Republican party is bound to respect for fear of the secession of the whites, which, though few in number compara tively iu the South, still leaven the whole party and give it its unity and power even in South Carolina. In a word, hav ing trotted their black elephant around the couutry on n triumphal tour of four teen years’ duration, and having given all the rights he could iu reason demaud under the existing state of things, would it not be woll for the Republican parly to stop this superfluous civil rights procas- iou and try some other gsme ?
