Paor. DoNALDaon, with ais newapaper
men on board (dead heada) made an ex
perimental balloon voyage on Tneaday.
The balloon took a aoutbeaat direction,
and bad paaaed over Philadelphia into
New Jeraey when laat beard from.
There won a large fire in Mobil* on
Tneaday night, which deatroyed Hnow'a

it not hftvo been done at Montgomery ?
Kioistiiaxiom for tho election ia pro

Ward, whioh ia conaidcred the moat doubt

Party went to Kellogg’* ltegiatrara and
requeated to be allowed to tally the reg-
latration, but they were refused.

It ia aaid that Judge Littleberry Strange
ia a candidate for re-election a» Circuit
Judge in Alabama. Ho ia ati “independ
ent" Radical thin time, having been de
feated for the nomination by M. L. Pat-
teraon, Esq. Tho Democratic candidate
is J. E. Cobb, Esq., of Macon.
THK New York Herald woll aaya that
the “ ‘war of racea’ in the South ia for
future use .in Congress. Every Radical
who in beaten for office will conical the
aeat of the man elected and then prodneo
the ‘war of race*' in evidonoo that there
waa not a fair election."
The official document* iu the caae ahow
that Keila waa arrested at Eufanla for an
abuae of the vrry jMjouliar Alabama law
allowiug tho rcleaaeof criminals “on tkeir
own recognizance." Ho at retched the law
to the extent of releasing negroes arrested
for fe!ony; aud ono of them indicted for
an aasault with intent to murder, who
vu thus released by hitu, osoapod, leav
ing aiiuply hia own worthleaa bond. It
for this abuso of hia power* that Keila waa
arrested, after resisting arrest with foroe
and arm*. It is hardly necessary to arid
that all criminals in the State, arreated for
felonies and released on their own recog*
nixmoe, would escupo in a similar man
ner.

canvasa and at the p Ua.
We repeat the string hope that Georgia
will do as well aa North Carolina in her
Congressional election*.
It appears that Brigham Youug ia about
to turn to his own advantage the argu
ment* used against polygamy. One of
his wives, Mra. Ann Eliza Young, ia suing
him for divorcouud uliuiony, and Brigham
coolly aota up the plea that “a celestial
or plural marriage is only au ordinance
of the Moriuan Church, and outside of
the palo of law, and legally be has only
ouewife." Of course, if ho was never
legally married to Ann Elizs, alio has no
foundation in law for her auit for divorce
aud alimony. Brigham'a law aeetua to be
good, if the common law or the laws of
the United States are superior to the Mor
mon Territorial laws ; aud it would seem
that he cauuot be reached by the pro
ceedings now ponding.
THE CONDITIO* OF SOUTH € A DO
MNA.
Unquestionably the moet impudent and
audacions attempt to procure renewed
Federal intervention in the affairs of the
Booth, ia that made from Booth Carolina.
We are informed by telegraph that Sena
tor Patterson has gone to Washington on
this mission ; that he has found the At
torney General, and with him would go on
to Long Branch to see the President;
also, that they bad arranged to be followed
by other delegations from Booth Carolina,
all !>ent on the tame object. They repre
sent the white# aa organising rifle compa
nies (whioh the negroes have been doing
for some time without any interference),
and fear that they will be too strong for
the Radical*. Patterson, we are told,
“frankly admitted that if the Federal sol
dier* are there the Republicans can carry
the State; but to preserve order, he wants
them scattered throughout the Btete.
They are at praaent at Columbia,
York and Newberry, where there ia
no disturbance." This anxiety about the
Republicans carrying the State ia un
doubtedly the whole secret of the demand
for troop*. The negroes are likely to
prove “refractory" there aa elsewhere.
If Mono* is nominated for re-election,
the better and mort intelligent
portion of them will not support
him; aud, on the other baod,
if (as Patterson affects to believe will be
the case) aome one else la nominated, the
worse portion of the negroes will not sup
port thia nominee—Moaes himself may
refuse to do so. But with Federal troops
scattered all over the State, it will be an
easy matter to impress the negroes with
what is expected from them at Washing
ton and bring them book into the party
tracoa. It is to operate on the blaoka aa
much aa tho wliitea that the troops are
wanted.
Tho idea that Federal troops are needed
Houth Carolina to sustain tho Radical
Htato Government there, or to prevent the
whites from committing aggresaiona on
the blaoka, is aimply ridiculoua. The Rad
ical have iu their own handa the entire
machinery of the State Government and
that of noarly all the district* or counties.
They have long had negro volunteer
companies all over the State, sup
plied with artua distributed by the
State, while the whites have no organ
ization and no arms exoept a few shot
guns or riflea. The negroes outnumber
the whitee about 120,000 in the State,
and in the laat Presidential election the
Radicals had a majority of 50,000 votes.
If, with this great preponderance of num
bers, priority of organization, support by
Btate authority, and excess of arms, the
white Radioala aud negroea cannot aua
tain themselves without Federal military
aid, the fact ia a proof of inferiority far
surpassing anything that Democrats have
ever charged upon them. There must be
something moat offensively “rotten
where a party with all these
advantages of authority, organ
iaation and numbers oannot sustain itself
in power. But tbs truth ia, it fears the
loss of one of theso elements of strength.
It ia secure until after the election iu its
authority and its organisation, but it oan
not just now count on its numbers. It
wants the Federal military to overawe the
people, and that ia the whole secret of the
clamor for troops. If Gen. Grant ad
heres to his new policy, recently adopted
in the cases of Arkansas and Texas—and
it is to be hoped that he will—Jack Pat*
tersou will go baok from Long Branoh aa
palpably “struck" as “Billy" was, and uot
half so much in doubt as to who “atruok"
him.

for the saloon keeper*. We imagine it
will be impossible, even in lllinoi*, to get

case, aa the verdir-t waa one of two thou

Tbe t’asvMa In tieorgla.
The CongroHHional canvas* ha* opened
most auHpicioutdy for the Democrats, giv
ing rosHon* for tho hopo that uot more
than one Radical (if one) can be elected
to Congress. Wo regard Freeman’s with
drawal, iu tho Fifth District, aa tho result
of troubles which overy Radical candi
date for Cougres* will have to encounter.
Freeiuuii tried hard to avoid committing
bimsolf either for or ngsiust tho Civil
Right* bill, und such trimming waa uot
sati*fHCtory to either the Democrats or the
Radicals. On tho othor haud, if be had
taken a decided position eitlior for or
against, he would have driven many Re
publican* from hi* mipport. In thia di
lemma he gave way for a now candidate,
yet to be brought forward. Ho will no
doubt keep clear of the fence by getting
on on© Bide or the other, hut as soon as
be doe* so there will bo Republican de
sertion, and be will find himself leading
a divided party to certain defeat.
Iu the First District there are two Radi
cal candidates, and we see no indication
that either of them will withdraw. Bry
ant is supported by the white office-hold
ers iu Bavannab, who control a majority
of the negroes of Chatham couuty, but
outside of Chatham Wimberly is the fa
vorite with the nogro voter*. Ilia frieud*
claim that he was cheated out of the nom
ination, aud they and he are stubborn in
their purpoao not to submit to the impo
sition of Bryant upon the party by the
Chatham office-holders. This District
was very close at tho last election,
and Colonel Rawls, Democrat, was
so dearly elected that even a number
of Radicals of the Hou*e voted to keep
him in the seat, but party feeling was too
strong for justioe to be done. The Dem
ocrats ought to carry the District this
yasr by a majority that cannot ba dis
puted.

The Washington correspondent of tbe
Baltimore Nun gives some interesting in
formation concerning political affairs in
Teunesse# and Massachusetts. The writer
say*: “Iu Tennessee the differences ex
isting between the Johnson and anti-
Johnson wing* of the Demooraoy appoar
to havo been harmoniously settlod. The
next Legislature will be largely Demo
cratic, and it ia looked upon as almost
cortaiu that ex-1'resident Andrew John
son will be eleoted to the seAt in tbe Sen
ate now filled by hia most bitter enemy,
Parson Brownlow. In Massachusetts local
dimension* havo very much divided tbe
Radical party. Prominent among the
causes of woakueaa are the feuds growiug
out of the Butler fight and tha liquor
question. The seventy thousand Radical
majority of Massachusetts a few years ago
made the contingency of a Democratic
success appear impossible. But advioea
now iudioate that the party is so much de
moralized through the causes mentioned
above, and further through the refusal of
so many of its old members to run again
for Congress, that the Democrats have
groat hopes of electing their Governor
aud two or three members of Oongres*,
and perhaps even seouring a Democratic
Senator to fill the seat of Mr. Sumner.

The citizens of the 021st Distriot, feel
ing that heretofore they have in every
election contest stood squarely up to the
Democratic party without scrambling for
office, and iu every election since the war
have ardently supported the nominees of
the party, all of whom have been selected
from other part* of the county aa a gene
ral rule, respectfully anggeat the name of
Mb. Davis A. Andrew*, of said District,
a suitable and proper person aa a candi
date for Tax Collector of said county it
the ensuing election, subject to the nomi
nating convention to be held for connty
officers.
The integrity and capacity of Mr. An
drews, aa a man and citizen, ia too well
known for comment; all who know him
will bave no fears of intrusting to him the
duties of the office, and hone will have
cause to regret casting their votes for him,
should he be elected. His name as a can
didate for said position ia therefore earn
estly and respectfully proposed by many
voters and citizen*, both of hia District
and the connty at Urge.

Thk Democrats and Conservatives of
Chambers county, Ala., have made tbe
following nomination*:
For ItoprcHcntative* in the Lower
Branoh of the General Assembly, W. T

Judge, Peter M. Rowland; for Clerk of
Circuit Court, O. H. Burnett; for Sheriff,

There ia no outright quarrel between
Proaident Grant and the Republican par
ty, but there ia an estrangement. The
two are drifting apart. Five Republican
Btate Convention* have been held recent
ly, and uot one of them has extended to
the President the cheap nominal oourteay
of an endorsement. This silence on the
part of the Republican* of IndiAua, Illi
nois and Miokigau, and these direct re
buke* froui those of Kao*a* and Pennsyl
vania, indicate uot only a determined op
position of the Northern people to a third
term, but au ominous coolness of the
Northern Republican* toward* their Pres
ident. At preaeut, the relation between
them i* one of estrangement, but it may
ripen, at tbe next ses*ion of Congress,
into au overt quarrel.—St. hmi* Repub
lican.
Another Move or tub Central Rail
road.—We nnder*tand, aaya tbe Savannah
New*, that Col. W. M. Wadley, President
of tho Central Railroad, ha* recently had
• survey made of the Oconee river from
the railroad bridge near Toomb*boro to
Dublin, with the object of ascertaining
the practicability of uuiting these two
point* by a Htomuhoat line. The distance
is about thirty-five mile*, aud it is stated
that the survey demonstrated the fact that
the river can be cleaned and put in excel
lent boating order at an expense of a few
hundred dollars.
The Wilkinson Appeal *ay* : “A coin-
S sny has been organized in Dublin, with
lr. John B. Wolfe a* President, who will
commence runuing a boat in time to carry
off the present cotton cron. The thrifty
town of Dublin will thus bave quick and
reliable communication with tho outside
world. Huooess to the enterprise."
New Issue One Dollar Notes.—Tbe
new issue of oao dollar United States
Treasury notes ho* made its appearance.
While the general style of tbe new and
the old one dollar notes is the srme on
the face, the baok* ure entirely different.
On the face of the new note i* the same
central medalion head of Washington and
left hand corner vignette of Columbus
discovering America, a* well as the same
right and upper corner lathe work denom
inational vignette. There is no green
tint on the face of tbe new note, as is the
case with the old i*sue. The differences
of engraving on the faco of the new note
are dimply in the borders for nutuhors and
in tbe red treasury *eal. Thi* latter is
now smaller, and placed between tbe
Washington and Columbus vignettes. In
place of the large seal on the old note is
a red border and lathe w ork over the block
letters forming the words “one dollar."
Tho baok of the new note is green, of
oousse, but of a new, elaborate and intri
cate sign of geometrical lathe work, with
a St. Andrew’s cross in the centre bearing
tho words “United States of Amerioa."
