THE NOMINATION |t)B COTEBNON.
I The notion of the several oounty meet
ings reported in this paper suffices to
. show that the nominition of Go*. Smith
for re-election is a “foregone conclu
sion.” It can only be doubted, now, by
politicians os infatuated as the few who,
up to a week pterions to the assembling
of the Baltimore Contention, hogged the
delusion that Greeley wonld be defeated
for its nomination. Not a aingle county
i, has so far declared itself for James, and
t j among those which hare apoken ia his
I own oounty.
As the contingency becomes more ap
parent, the question, what will James do
in the event of his defeat for the nomina
tion, aasutnes more interest. He hss not
yot publicly announced that he will abide
by the nomination. But the intimations
that his friends will prove refraotory ac
cumulate. The latest of these that has
met our eye is that Col. Carey W. Styles,
editor of the Albany Nfiee, writing from
Atlanta to hi* paper. In his letter of
tho 5th inst., Col. Styles complains that
the Executive Committee acted unfairly,
and in the interoat of Gov. Smith, iu
calling the Convention at ao early a day;
says that time enough was not allowed
for the opposition to organifce ; aaya that
“the game" was not fair, and his irresist
ible instincts make him ita antagonist;
that Gov. Smith is not the choice of the
people, and they would make a ohange if
they had time and were not “tied hand
and foot by pre-arranged manigemeut
and he concludes by saying : “Give the
people a chance, give Mr. James aud
every other citizen a chanoe, a fair
chance, and I uiu content, but I never
did aud never will quietly acquiesce in a
jt wrong, or bow submissively to results ac-
7 complished by unfair means."
All of this, to our apprehension, smacks
of a disposition to halt if Mr. James is
not nominated at Atlanta. Possibly tho
failure of tho bolting conspiracy at Balti
more may act as a “wet blanket" upon all
euch schemes. But then James may con
sider that he has more substantial support
to fall back upon than the would-be bolters
at Baltimore could promise themselves.
We shall see.
The plea that James and his friends
were wronged by the Committee selecting
fo early a day for tho assembling of the
Convention, will not bear examination.
Ample time was allowed. The counties
that have already held their meetings
held them from one to two weeks earlier
than the day appointed for the meeting
of the Convention necessitated thorn to
hold them. Among these was Col. Styles’
own county (Dougherty), of which, wo
believe, ho is chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee ; and on Heturday
last that county ehoso delegates iu favor
. of Hmith! But the most complete refu
tation of this plea is furnished by the
action of Jumes’ own county (Fulton.)
There a regular election for delegates was
ordered; tickets for Hmith and for James
were announced through the newspapers
and printed for use on the day of the
election; a nearly full Democratic vote
was brought out, and the result was a
handsome majority for 8mitU. And still
it is intimated that James' friends will
not “acquiesco" if he is beaten for the
nomination, because time enough was not
allowed him to make the race The plea
involves the acknowledgment that the
people were tor Hmith, end that James
only hoped to change their predilection
by time and work. Bat be has made a
poor showing towards it iu coanties where
he and his friends worked hardest; and
the prospect now is that he and hie friends
will carry so few of the counties that
the same difficulty will be experienced at
Atlanta a« at Baltimore—bis friends will
have too few delegates in the Convention
to organize a bolt with.
The Sun asks us to “reconcile" the
following extract from Mr. Greeley's late
. speech made to the committee appointed
to announce to him his nomination :
“While yon, said Mr. Greeley, in mak
ing this nomination, are not less Demo
cratic, but even more so than had yon
taken the opposite course, I, in accepting
it, am not much less a Republican than 1
ever was. [Applause.]"
If our neighbor will read the common
* platform adopted by the Cincinnati and
’ Baltimore Conventions and Mr. Greeley's
^ letter of acceptance, be will see the con-
i grnity (we suppose that is what he means)
I of the above quotation. It means simply
* that the co-operation effected doea not
* require the Democrats to abjure their
i Democracy, or Mr. Greeley to abjure his
i» Republicanism, bnt that both parftiee put
* in abeyance their distinctive political
| ideas, wherein they differ, while they
I unite to secure the suecesB of those more
t urgent and imperative objects which they
| agree in demanding—fall and universal
amnesty, local government for the Htates,
| the supremacy of civil over martial law,
peace, equality and concord for all see-
” tions, the re-eeteblishment of an honest
and capable civil service, Ac.
The following, which we find tele-
’graphed to ths Western Press, ia, we pre
sume, a more correct veraion of what
Mr. Greeley esid:
“The time will come, and I trust iu
God the opportunity too, when the world
will see that yon are no leas Democrats
because you have pursued the course you
have, and that I am no leas a Republican
^ because I accept yonr nomination."
On Sunday morning last, a soldier was
killed by an officer at Fort Pulaski, under
circumstances that caused much exaspera
tion amo-g the comrades of the slain
soldier. There was a row on the parade
ground, sod the sergeant of the gnard,
Robert E. Carr, knocked down a refrac
tory private with his gun. A soldier
named Herman K. Jordan denonneed the
act, when Carr struck at him, Jordan re
treated, and then Carr shot him d
The affair caused so much excitement at
the Fort that Carr was cant to Savannah
nod imprisoned there.

The Sun says, in reply to our inquiry
as to the “drift" or meaning of its Ku-
Klux article, that it is “not responsible
for onr understanding.” If it were, we
wonld feel a solioitnde somewhat similar
to that of John Randolph, when a
stranger, who had proposed to him a bet
on a horse race, suggested that his friend
Smith would hold the stakes. “And
who," said Randolph, “will hold Smith?"
Our neighbor intimates that it was in
terposing a warniog to the Southern
Democracy not to hurrah too loudly for
Greeley, lest their hearty support might
frighten Northern Republicans back to
Grant. The Democracy of the 8onth
have up to this time engineered their
movement towards a anion with the Lib
eral Republicans very successfully with
out the advice of the Sun, but rather in
direct opposition to it, and they can
douhtleas continue to do bo. We entreat
neighbor to qniet its apprehensions
on this score. When the Domooratio par
ty supporting Greeley need the counsels
of neutrals, or independents, or guerrillas
—whichever position they may fancy—
they will solieit it, and it can then be giv
en with less liability to the charge of
“impertinence.”
If the Sun was only alluding to the
Radical clamor about Greeley or bis
Southern friends “Kn-Kluxing the ne
groes," as a fanciful hobgoblin, without
intending to endorse or tolerate it, why
did it proceed to array a formidable “Hat of
secetuda" and make suggestions abont the
experience and tho kind of sorvioe that
peculiarly fitted them for the business?
Why did it not rather say that no section
of the Union could furnish politicians
moro sternly opposed to any outrage on
tho rights of tho negroes than the distin
guished Georgia gentlemen named in iffc
“list of seecssia"? This is too serious
aud too Atrocious a “Radical argnmont"
to be treated with a levity or ambiguity
that would admit of ready perviaion into a
confession of its truth.
We are twitted by the Sun with having
received “Radical favor." If by Ibis it
alludes to publication of Bullock's procla
mations for a short time, we have only to
say that the designation of our paper as
ono of the journals to publish the procla
mations was announced publioly by ad
vertisement or order in an Atlanta paper,
aud not by any private arrangement. It
was moreover done without our solicita
tion. Whon Bullock afterwards, in the
same public raanuer, revoked bis order of
publication, and substituted private ar
rangements with favorite presses, ours
was not included. We were of the opin
ion, ns wo still are, that Columbus was
ono of tho chief cities of the State in
which tho Governor's proclamations, if
advertised at all in a number of papers,
ought to be published. We never heard
of the Sun refusing a single advertise
ment of the Executive Government while
Bullock was at its head, and we remem
ber that it received and published one or
We also remember tbat the Sun,
and not the Enquirer, was the recipient
of ofliciul patronage from Milledgevillo
while Ruger was Military Governor there.
Wo did not suppose that the sourness of
those gropes eo long disturbed the stom
ach of our neighbor.
We regret to find in the artioie which
wo aro noticing an intimation that we
were wrong, the other day, in concluding
from the Sun'e declaration that it woe
willing to do “anything to beat Grant and
save tho South" that it had determined to
upport Greeley as “a choice of evils." It
now says that it “refuses to swallow Rad
icalism, whether it comes straight like
Grant, or 4 with sugar iu it* liko Greeley.”
Well, good by, neighbor. We are sorry
that our paths for the present run in dif
ferent directions. Don't try to obstrnot
ours, and we'll leave you free to follow
yours, if it oarriee you to Tooiub's 4 ‘first
choice."
We refer the reader to an article whieh
we copy from tho Mobilo ItegUter (John
Forsyth's paper) to show how unreservedly
and decidedly its talented editor supports
the nomination of Greeley and Brown,
now that his party has made it, though
be energetically opposed the making of
it, both as an editor and aa a delegate to
Baltimore. In a subsequent editorial
Col. Forsyth explains why he personally
had no predileetiona for euoh a coarse,
but why he felt coustrained to disregard
personal considerations when they stood
in the way of a discharge of a duty which
be owed to his party and his country.

The Atlanta Sun of Tuesday publishes
a long card of Hon. Robert Toombs,
which we notice only because it probably
serves to show bow Gen. T. hss eleeted
to treat a late card of Ex-Gov. Brown,
which aroused considerable expectation
as to tho manner and nature of Gen. T.’s
reply. Gov. Brown had said that “if"
Gen. T. meant iu a former publication to
charge him with bribing through the Le
gislature a bill in reference to tho Mitch
ell property, “the statement was an infa
mous falsehood, and its author an unscru
pulous liar." Gen. Toombs says, in bis
reply published in the Sun, that Brown
in prefixing the 4 if" preferred hypotheti
cal denunciation, the usual dodge of a
vulgar poltroon," to asking an explana
tion. He disclaims charging the Ex-Gov
ernor with personally engaging in bribe-
JJ—^ggestB that he is too canning for
that—bnt intimates that be employed
others. He denounces Gov. Brown’s
course in reference to the Mitohell prop
erty with great severity; also pays his re
spects in the same strain to Judge Locb-
rane, who had also sharply oontzmdicted
Gen. Toombs' first letter. We node# the
affair only to gratify public ourloeifyae

Cussxta, Ga., July 14th, 1872.
Editor Enquirer:—The Randall bridgo
across tho Upatoie oreek ia ono of con
siderable importance to the oounties of
Muscogee and Chattahooohee in particu
lar, aud to parts of some of the adjaoent
counties. It has coat a considerable sum
of money to build it. Io oonaeqnenee of
tho importunes of this bridge and in order
to have a first olast traveling bridge, I
extended to the contractors their own
time to complete the job, and am proud
to Bay that I succeeded in having a supe
rior bridge bnilt of tbe moat choice selec
tion of timbers tbat perhaps was ever put
in a job of the samo magnitude. I could
very readily excuse parties for manifest
ing impatience at tbe timo consumed in
tho erection of this structure, for it put
many to great inconvenience; but not
withstanding its importance, some incon
siderate parties aro greatly endangering
this property, and how to preveut them is
tho question.
A short timo sinoe I learned that wag-
ouers wore in the habit of OAtnping in tbe
bridge—had carried in dirt and built a fire
on it, which greatly endangered the
bridgo. I wrote requests that persons
hereafter wonld plouae not oarnp in tbe
bridge, and stated tbat they might subject
themselves to e presentment by the Grand
Jury for a misdemeanor, and bad these
notices stuck up in the bridge; sinoe
which time there have been other oamp-
ers in tbe bridge, and had it not been for
tho timely attention of another party who
was camping outside, these campers
would actually have burned tbe bridge.
They had carried in fire and laid on tho
floor, which had caught in a light blaze
before it was discovered and put out.
Thu party who curried tho fire in w*as per
haps asleep, or at least paying uo atten
tion to it.
You will please give such notice of this
inattor as yon may think most beneficial
to the interest of our oountiea. I think
it would bo well to suggest to our Repre
sentatives to have a law passod, at tbe
session of the Legislature about to oon-
veue, to rnuko it a grave penal offense for
persons to obstruct the public highway by
camping in a bridge and endangering the
property of the counties as this has been.
Respectfully, Ac.,

T1IE LEASE.
Editor Enquirer: Frequent allusions
having been made through the publio
prints to the loose of the Western A At
lantic Railroad, it is well that subject
should bu looked at in ita practical re”
suits. Frothy politicians may rant, and
hungry oxpectants, whose rule of injus
tice depeuds upon an interest in the re
sult, may stir up the prejudices of the un
thinking, but the poople who pay the tax-_
os will demand what benefit will we de
rive from this virulent persecution of
men against whom uo evidence of fraud
hns been found ? The crazy and rampant
lawyer, who meaauroa out justice in pro
portion to the size of conditional fee, is
only laboring in his vocation. We, who”
have no interest in this, demand that the
enormous oxpeuse already incurred in
persecuting men who are far better aa
citizens, aud equally as patriotic in ovory
trial whon occasion demands a show of
manhood, shall cease. Nover before since
the road hns been bnilt has it ovor puid
into tho Treasury (save a short time) any
returns. Ever since it baa been in opera
tion men of all partiea have used it to
continue themselves in power, and many
havo been the efforts to separr.'e it from
tho inilnenoes of eaob succeeding admin-_
istrution oi the State. This separation
has tuken place. Uoder the law, and
whatever may be the faot, now that it an-
nuully pays into the Treasury $300,000
per annum, it would be unwise to take
tho chances of doing better by going to,
law with a powerful combination to undo
what tbe country has demanded should be
done. Let the loaso alono. Be satisfied
with doing well. Chattahoochee.
A Forgery Exposed.
From the New York Trilnino, flth.
Wo have neither the space nor the in
clination to notice tho thousand calum
nies uguinst Mr. Greeley and the Tribune
with which the Grant papers aro daily
filled. Their favorite pursuit seems to
be to ransack tbe old filea of the Tribune,
and take from its correspondence or its
clippings anything which may bo calcula
ted to injure Mr. Greeley, aud boldly to
attribute it to him. These garbling** and
misrepresentations we have not noticed,
and do not propose to. But Harper’s
Weekly having gone beyond this and re
sorted to forgery, aeeins to require a word
of contradiction. In a recent number it
prints a caricature of Mr. Greeley gloat
ing over the ruin of a Southern family:
aud knowing that the publio will reoog-
nize tbe absurdity of a representation eo
much at variance with his obaraoter and
record, they have adopted the simple ex
pedient of fortifying their earioature by
printing iu Urge type the following sen-
fence, which they Jiretend to have ex
tracted from the Tribune of November
20, 1800. v
“When the rebellious traitors are over
whelmed in tbe field, and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it uniat not
be to roturn to peaoefnl and contented
homes. They moat find poverty at their
firesides, and see privation in the anxious
eyes of mothers aud tbe rags of children."
Wo deem it only necessary to say that
not u word of the pretended extract is
found iu the Tribune of that date, and no
such words were ever written by Mr.
Greeley. We leave the pnblio to. judge
the moral quality of tbe act committed by
the Measra. Harper.

JUDGE STEPHENS* DEATH.
From tlio Atlnntd gun, Kith in«t.j
It was with tho profoundcst grief and
paiu that we announced last evening the
death of Hon. Linton Stephens, whieh
occurred at hi.s residence iu Sparta, at A
o'clock p. ui. ou Sunday, the l4ih. We
have obtaiued some additional particulars,
which are reliable, which we now state for
publio iuforination.
Ilis disousu was congestion of the bow
els uud lungs—tho result of causes which
we now proooed to uarruto.
After the exhaustive labors which be
went through in the Superior Court in
this city, three weeks ago, he went home
to attend an adjournod term of the court
in his owu county, which carno off week
before hint. During this oourt bis labors
wero so groat—so exhausting—aggravated .
as they were by tho excessive beat, tbat j
his strength failed, rendering it necessary
to coutinue several of bis important oases
iu cousequouce of bis inability to proceed
With them.
It was not, however, until Friday, the
nth iust., that ho was coufiued to his bed;
and nothing serious was apprehended
until last Saturday, when his disease as
sumed H daugcrouB typo, terminating aa
wo havo stated.
Judgo Stephens wus the youngest
brother of Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, and
was, as wo before Hinted, 40 years old on
tho find day of tbin month.
Many thousands of hearts will feel the
same pangs of sorrow which we do on
learning of tho death of this truly great
aud noble man. In him 1ms passed away,
iu tho primo of llife, and in the zenith of
a well-earned fame, ouo of the brightest
intellects, ono of the profouudest lawyers,
jurists and statesmen, as well ns one of
tho most powerful and brilliant orators
which Georgia over produced.
But the biightost trait in his chnraoter,
and one that will be tho longest remem
bered, was liis unswerving honor and in
dexible integrity in private and publio
life. His action iu till things was govern
ed by principle.
We have known Judge Stephens very
intimately since 1855. We have seen hiui
on many trying occasions; and iu min
gling our tears with those most dear to
hiui, we can truly say thutn truer,an abler
or nobler niau we liavo never associated
with.
This offering of our henrt is but a poor
tribute to bis memory. His proper eu
logy we leave It* others. To the heart-
strickon brother, widowed wife, aud or
phaned children, we extend all the condo
lence that one beloved frioud can extend
to othors in those heavy afflictions which
affect all alike, though not in the same
degree. Tho ties of nature aro tenderer
and stronger than any at taehiucnts spring
ing from the most, devoted friendship or
the highest admiration.

The Alabama River was higher yester
day and last Sunday than it has been
kuown to bo before at any time since the
war. Tho bottoms, embracing the most
productive lands in the Stato, are every
where overflowed and tho danittgo to the
crops cunuot bnt be immense. This river
and its tributaries wash not less than
2,000 miles of shore, and if the ovei (lowed
lands average 20 acres to tho mile, tho loss
resulting from this overflow cannot fall
far short of two millions of dollars. In
times like tlieso so great a loss is a great
oalamitv, and ouo oulculatoiklo cause con
siderable inconvonieuco if not actual suf
fering among the plautors upon whom it
falls. The great bend opposite this city,
which a few days ago was covered with
tho most luxuriant and promising crops
in Autauga county, is now nothing but a
wide wus to of rushing wider, unrelieved
save by an occasional tree top which
peeps out from the muddy torreut. The
lied of the South and North Road along
the lowlands contiguous to the river is
completely submerged. Iu sevoral places
the truck lias been completely washed
away and it will be several days before it
can bo so repaired as to admit of the pas

The Remains op Louis ITiilikpk.—Tbe
Paris Gaulois states that tho question of

France of tho ashes of Louis Philippe.
M. Thiers has made no official promise on
the Hiibject, but it is probable that the
work of removal will bo dono privately
and without any publio ceremony what
ever. The Due d'Aumale and tbe Prince
do JoinvUln will hoou go to Claromont in
order to exhume the remains of the late
king, whieh they will then deposit at the
Chatonn d’Eu, where tho Orleans family
will all meet. Tho ceremony will tuko
place in tbe presence of a few invited
friends, for the public are not to he ad
mitted. In England, it is said, exists a
curious superstition upon the subject of
mortuary transfers of this chaiaeter. The
English say that whenever a ruler author
izes tho return to his country of the body
of a sovereign of the past, trouble follows
to him who rules. The fact is, that the
return to Franoo of tho ashes of Napoleon
tbe First did not bring good luek to Louis
Philippe.
A War Cloud in Brazil.—Brazil and
the Argentine Confederation are pouring
oat vials of wrath against one another.—
The former allies and victors of poor,
depopulated Paraguay have fallen out
over the spoils of the war. The Minister
of the Argentine Confederation, iu a long
note addressed to tho Brazilian govern
ment, taunts the lutter with angry re
proaches of bad faith, cowardico, rapaci
ty, downright dishonesty and downright
lying. There is but the historical ex
pression, “You lie, you villain, you lie!”
wanting to completo tho delightful frank
ness of the document. To tbit* insolent
note, says a cable dispatch from Lisbon,
Brazil has replied in terms still more de
fiant. Indeed, tho excellent letter of our
Rio Janeiro correspondent, which we
publish elsewhere, foreshadows this an
swer of the Brazilian government. It
describeR the vast preparations for war,
the relative strength of the two countries
and the immineut dangor of hostilities.
It la, however, to be hoped that tho two
Powers will pause, and try peaceful
means of settlement before they reopen
> the bloody chaarn which bnt lately closed
after auoh terrible sacrifices of human life
and the annihilation of a brave nation.—

PRESIDENTIAL.
The Democratic party in convention'
Assembled have nominated Greeley and
Browo aa tbeir candidates for President
and Vice Praaident in opposition to Grant
aud Wilton. They have also adopted the
exposition of principles oontained in what
ia koown aa the Oincinnati platform. The
Register accepts and will aupport the nom
ination, because it sees no other way in
which Southern votes oan be recorded
against the Radioal administration, and
because aa bftween Grant and almost any
nominee of the Demooratio party, it can-
not hesitate to choose. In other words,
no administration of the Federal Govern
ment that ia conosivable, oan be more
dangerous than that of Gen. Grant.
The Register doea not accept tbe en
dorsement of the Cincinnati platform, for
the reason, that while it ia full of aonud
S olitioal doctrines, all of them taken freon
ie life-long and traditional creed of the
Democracy, there are other principles
enunciated that we cannot conscientiously
aubsoribe to, even at the bidding of a
Demooratio Convention. On thia subject
onr views were stated in a letter written
from New York touching the results of
the Fifth Avenue Conference, in whioh
we said:
“On the whole, I look upon the results
of this conference aa establishing tbe
poiut that the Presidential issue is made
up between Grant and Greeley, provided
Baltimore throw* its weight into the scale
of the latter; and thia proviso seems to
be assumed here. In that case every voter
has to ohoose between the two.
*At all eveuta, let ua hope, if the De
mocracy doea surrender to Greeley and
Brown at Baltimore, that it will do it upon
terms distinctive of the true causes and
features of the surrender—that iu the
meanwhile the Democracy will uot accept
with the candidates of Cincinnati the plat
form of Cincinnati, but will make one of
tbeir own, ont of their timber, and pub
lish to the world that while they will join
the Liberal Republicans to beat a common
enemy, they abate not oue jot of tbeir
traditional doctrines, and mean not one
thought of disbanding tbeir forces or
abandoning their organization. The Ala
bama Democracy, in refusing to ratify
Cincinnati in advanoe of Baltimore, and
in Heuding their delegates to the family
gathering at Baltimore with thoir hands
uutied, have declared in favor of preserv
ing the integrity of the party and against
rallyiug under any new banner. For the
rest, tbe Register does not change its po
sition until tbe Democratic parly speaks
by authority in National Convention as
sembled.”
But atill, we may support tho candidates
and not approve the platform.
Aud now, having maintained to the last
what we regarded as the safest and sound
est course of principle and policy for tho
benefit of the whole country, as well as
the Democracy, and having been over
ruled by the voice of our colleagues, nt-
fared iu National Convention, and having
boon thus reduced to a aingle alternative
choice ns to the best method of opposing
the Washington despotism, we propose to
walk iu the new path upon wbioh events
inexorably direct our footsteps, in the
open, direot and uncompromising manner
that manliness commends in all political
actions. For the future of this course we
are free from responsibility; but we take
our stand by oar Democratic brethren,
aud it will be from no lack of effort on
our part if that future does not prove
roseato in its fruition of tbe brightest
hopes and expectations of tbe latest buil
ders at Baltimore.
And now a word to Mr. Greeley's earli
est and loudest friends in the Houth.
Having hailed thia ticket with delight, see
to it tbat you show a sober ear neatness in
ita eleotiou. You may gush now like so
euany perennial fountains, but wo warn
you tbat there is work to be done, in Ala
bama and Mississippi at least, to elect it.
It is now to be proved whether the Gree
ley move was a real outburst of the peo
ple or of the politicians. What we know
is, that there are thousands of Demoorata
who are to bo reconciled and conciliated
to the support of Greeley as against Grant.
The Register will do its part—and the
Register will have the heaviest part to do,
because it is in a position to do it most
effectually. What we demand is that
when tho serious work begins, the “gush
ers" will not retire aud wait for the vic
tory and the divi»iou of the HDoils.
Meanwhile we go for Greeley and
Brown, because we oauuot afford in the
slightest degree to be responsible for the
re-election of Grant and Wilson.

The Oppmuion or he South Ly 11m Polltl*
dank—Are ffu to have n Uvntorrd In Ion f
For somo years bufore tho war of the
rebellion, wbeu Norihorn pohLiciuua weie
endeavoring to consoliduto into ouo giunl
political organization all tlio chuuetilH op
posed to the Southern Staten of the Uuiuu
either in interest or nonliiuent, a peisiot-
ent aud systematic effort wus made to
create prejudice against the white citizens
of tho Houth. Apart from tho criiHude
against the institution of Hkivery as an of
fence ugainat the divine laws and a moral
and » social evil, the slaveowners were
denounced sh a elans and wore held up to
reproach us uu-Amorican, iUHolent, over
bearing and tyrannical.- Tho Southern
people had tbcmsulveH to thunk for the
auccesH of this unpatriotic attempt to ex
cite aectional auiuioaity aud strife for po
litical purposes. Their peculiar position
had rendered them jealous, suspicious
and arrogant. They hml been accus
tomed to brow-bout Northern men in C’ou-
greKH, and had conceived an unfavorable
opinion of Northern courage. Tho ftcuso
of tho insecurity of their rlave property
kept alike iu their breasts u con
stant feeling of hostility towards tho free
Hiatus, aud the tone of tbeir press uud
pnbliu speakers was offensive uml galling
to tho North. Eventually the efforts of
the politiciuuH nud tho indiscretion of the
chivalry brought about secession and civil
war. A bitter and codly experience
taught the Southern men bow erroneously
they had judged of the spirit of their
Northern fellow citizens, while the suffer
ings aud bravery of the Houth won tho
syuiputhy and respect of the North, and
wero accepted us an ntomnont for post
follies uud offoucos. Wheu the hist gun
of tho war had been fired, and the greul
rebellion lay crushed uud de<id ut the foot
of Grant’s victorious army, there was not
citizen of the loyal Htates, outside u
bandful of scheming politicians, who did
not earnestly desire to see tho Houth re
lieved as speedily us pos-ible liom the in
evitable penalties of iicr madness and re
stored to ull her constitutional rights un
der the reconstructed Union. The North
ern people required assurance that the
late Con federates would eousent to accept
in good faith the decision reached by the
tribunal of urms, uud were willing, us
i as this was received, to bury their
auger and their sorrow in a common
grave. Foremost among those who thus
patriotically sought to restore tho Union
in the lieui is ot lUu people was the soldier
who hud rescued \t from actual destruc
tion. Towards tho close of the year of
18115 Gen. Grant made an inspection of
tho rebelions Htates for the purpose of
learning by personal observation the
sentiment of their leading citizens, aud of
ascertaining what umouut of imlitury
force would he required tor the preserva
tion of ouler and the enforcement of the
laws. In his report to lTcsidont John
son the Lieutenant Gencrul expressed his
conviction that tho Houth had not only
accepted the decision of Imltle as finnl,
bnt hud become convinced by reflection
that this decision had been u fortunate
one for both sections of the I'uiou. “My
observations," wrote General Grant, “lead
mo the conclusion that the citizens of the
Southern Htates are anxious to return to
solf-govuniiuent within the Uiiiou as soon
as possible; that while reconstructing
they want and require protection from the
government ; that, they think, is required,
and is not humiliating to them us citizens,
and that if such u course were pointed
out they would puiBue it iu good faith."
It is to bo regretted," he adds, “that
there cauuot be a groat or commingling ut
this time between the citi/.ous of the two
sections, ami particularly ol those entrust
ed with the law-making power." The
trouble of the receutly liberated negroes
was liot overlooked by Ujo victorious
General. lle found them to lie inclined
to idleness uud imbued with the idea that
freedom from bondage meant freedom
from labor. But he trusted to time uud
tho management of the Ktufa governments
to render the frecdiuen willing to work
and to remove by slow degrees tlio evil
of iguorauce, the legacy ol their former
condition.
Nearly eight years have passed since
tho wur closed and the General is now the
President. Tho politician**, who have un
fortunately surrounded and controlled his
administration, have continued during
tbe last three years and a half tho same
course towards tne Houth udopted by them
ss soon as the rebellion was over, wheu
they were contending with President
Johnson for the political control of that
section of the country. Tbe off rts of
tbese men have bciui to secure political
power iu tho Southern States by coloniz
ing the South with carpet-bag politicians,
and holding with them the solid negro
vote. The process was simple and easy.
In ten of tbe ex-rebel States—Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas, Virg mu and the two
Csrolinas—nnder the census of 1870,
there were four milliou six hundred und
twenty-four thousand while inhabitants
to three million six hundred and thirty-
four thousand ncgiOvS, or less thuu one
million more •.bile than black inhabi
tants. Taking the proportion of ono in
five for voters, the white electors may bo
calculated at two hundred thousuud moro
tbau the black. In Houth Carolina, Lou
isiana and Mississippi tbe negroes are in
a majority. In Alabama there Aro ouly
five thousand more whito voters than
there are colored, aud in Florida tho
white electors are only one thousand
larger than tbe black. Proscriptive test
oaths and disfranchisement laws wore re
sorted to for the purpose of reducing the
Southern white vote, and us amnesty be
came more and more a political necessity,
Ku-Klux laws, authorizing the suspension
of the writ of habeas coiqjVH aud placiug
tbe elections under the protection, or
rather nnder the tyrauuy, of federal bay
onets, were iuvoked to counterbalance
the enfranchisement of the whites. In
tbe lost session of Congress, notwith
standing tbe notorious fact that the
Southern States urc now as peaceful and
law-abiding as thoso of tho North, the
most disgraceful scenes were enacted in
both llonseain the effort to force through
a renewal of the Ku-Klux bill at the risk
of tho interruption of the whole machin
ery of the government. To-day the
South is held under military despotism,
subject to the rascally corruptions of cur-
pet-bag civil governments uud tbreutcuud
by the dark shadow of political negro su
premacy. Her people havo done nil in
tbeir power to prove tbeir willingness to
accept the lessons and fruits of the war,
and to obey tbe laws of their country.--
They point to tbeir paralyzed industries,
to their impoverished homes, to their
broken foi tunes, aud plead to be allowed
to enter once again the highway of pros
perity and happiness through tho paths
of loyalty and peace. But the question
occurs to the iniuds of the scheming poli
ticians who hold power iu Congress, Are
tbe white Southern citizens to be trusted
politically? Will they uot use their re
covered franchise against the regular Ito-
publican party ? If tbjfo questions can
not be auswered to the satisfaction t f
onr present rulers the Houth must con
tinue to he oppressed and the effort to
foroe negro supremacy upon the South
ern States must proceed.
General Graot can have no sympathy
with the eonree of the men who seek by
•noh means to renew thoir lease of politi
cal power. His whole life and tbe free ex
pression of his sentiments on every occa
sion show that be favors a government of
white men and that ho despises those who
endeavor to renew or keep alive Beotional
prejudice and hate between tbe North and
the South. When he suffers the politi
cians who surround him to resort tosuoli
legislation and such policy in his behalf,
he riaM the lots of the sentiment of pnb-
lio esteem und gratitude still dinging to
fciHNrilBWiUlDgtQ MkmwMg* 10*11
misplaced. The people of the North de
mand that tho Southern States shall no
longer be treated ss rebels, but shell rs-
ooivo in good faith, and without reserva
tion, the pardon tbat has been extended
to them. To give over the beautiful end
commercially important States of tbe fair
est section of the Union to the ignorant
and degraded rule of negroes just releas
ed from bondage is an insult to the whito
citizens of the North as well ss of tho
South, and an outrage on the whole na
tion. To snbjoct them to the corrupt and
reckless schemes of the carpet-bag plun
derers is but little less infamous. To
hold them under military subjection for
political purposes ia not only a cruel injus
tice, but is a dangerous assault upon the
freedom of the republio. As s consist
ent and independent supporter of Gener
al Grant’s administration, we now call
upon him to show his detestation of theee
political Mschiavelisms by proclaim
ing his determination not to avail him
self of the Ku Klux law in the approach
ing elections, and to withdraw from the
Houthern States every federal soldier nol
required for the aotual legitimate pnrpoo-
os of the government. The enforcement
of this odious law is optional with him,
nud he has the authority and the power
by proclamation to declare the South in u
condition to warrant tbe restoration ol
civil law and of the writ of habeas oor-
pus in every portion of her territory.
This will ouablo the President nt once to
freo himself from the responsibility and
the unpopularity of the measures of hia
unwise supporters iu Congress, and a rad
ical change in the character of the federal
office-holders throughout the South will
further show his inclination to do justice
to the Southern people at last, h oi the
future, whatever may be the result of the
pending Presidential election, the Herald
will insist upon an entire change of policy
towards tho Southern States under the
next administration, and will hold every
Congressman up to the contempt and
scorn of the American people who favors
iit>y measure for the oppression of the
wliito men of the South. We shall de-
iwuud from President Grant or President
Greuley, as the ense may be, an honeet
ohcdienco to tho will of the people, whioh
is, unrestricted amnesty and non-inter-
ftuc nco with the domestic affairs of any
ot tho Southern States. The Herald will
diligently watch for and expose every fu
ture attempt to control the Southern ne
gro vote as a unit for any party, and any
injustice that may be done either by leg
islation, by executive action or through
lho influence of federal patronage, to tna
white electors of the South. We recog
nize the courage, the manhood and the
loyalty of the Southern people now that
tlio rebellion aud its causes are alike dead
and buried, and we admit their equal title
with ourselves to all the privileges and
rights of tho constitution. We shall hold
uny administration in the future respon
sible for u constitutional treatment of that
section of tho country and shall regard an
iissanlt upon their liberties and privilegea
as a crime against the republic.

The righteous souls of tho Administra
tion organs are sorely vexed by the doinga
at Baltimore. Their immsoulato virtue is
such thut they cannot comprehend how it
wus that “the Grand old Democratic par
ty" could bring itself to nominate Gree
ley. They recoil from the disgrace as if
it were their own, and cry shame, shame
upon tho base surrenderors. Some of
them are extremely Hentimental, some
even lachrymose, while the sterner sort
ovince unqualified indignation.
No doubt it wonld have been much
more pleasing to them all if the Democra
cy had stuck to old dogmas and nomina
ted Bourbon candidates, only to be beaten.
Such virtue would have been admirable
in Radioal eyes, and would have received
the heartiest commendations.
But these organs are inconsistent; In
one breath they call the acquiescence of
the Democracy in the Cincinnati ticket
and platform a disgraceful surrender,
while in the next, they declare that if
Greeley is oleoted Demooratio principles
and policy will prevail. The fact is they
confounded that they cannot under
hand the obaraoter and meaning of the
great revolution now in progress. If they
could for a moment take in the fact that
it is an uprising of the people for reform
in the Government, a great upheaval
against the extremes of Radicalism, whioh
Hours above mere party dogmas and inter
est, they would get an inaight into ita
ohuracter and meaning. They could
theu understand how it is that all liberal-
minded men among the old partiea have
united, agreeing to forget the past with
all its divisions, antagonisms and animos
ities, and to look only to the present and
tho future. The whole thing will soon
become clear to all who have eyes to see
und minds to understand.
Meanwhile we would suggest that in
stead of weeping over the decay of Dem
ocratic virture, they had better prepare to
shed tears over that wide spread corrup
tion which has so appalled the publio
minds as to attract together iu common
brotherhood men and parties heretofore
hostile. The want of virtue complained
of is not in the Liberal Republicans or
their allies, the Democrats, but in the par
ty whose abuses, corruptions end tyran
nies have been suoh as to alarm the publio
conscience and to exoite the gravest fears
of patriots.
An Angel Seen in Heaven bt Rev. tt.
Bingham.—On Sabbath morning
ltcv. R. W. Bingham, pastor of the Meth
odist Church of this city, preached on the
visitations of angels, lie selected no par-
t icular text, but read many passages of
scripture to prove that angels have often
Whited the earth, bearing messages from
God aud conversed with men and women,
uid insisted that these angelio visitations
are not limited to time and place, that
the men and women of tbe present day
havo seen angels and heard them sing and
talk as well as those mentioned in the Bi
ble. After the preacher bad concluded
this portion of his diaoonrae, he related
his personal experience. He stated that
(lod had permitted his sainted wife, (who
died ou tbe — day of June) sinoe her
death, to visit him twice—once by night
aud once by day. He declared that on u
certain night after her death, about the
haiuo hour of the night on which she had
outered Heaven, he waa awakened by mu
sic, sweeter than earth oan know; that
lie was fully aroused, with every power at
his mind in full operation, and, in faot,
could see his wife and hear und under
stand her words as distinctly as the ocn-
grugation could his. Mr. Bingham added,
I know I am neither inaene or eupentl-
