Wo did not, in referring to tho “policy’*
of the Kadical party, odd tho worda “and

Accovding to tho New York ffrrnhln
political calculations, the result or the
Vermont election cannot be taken iih any
indication of tho votes of close HhikH
It said on the ^ay before tho election that
there was not likely to bo any niakod
change iu Vermont; that there hnd been
no active campaign iu the Stale, and that
“tho issues on whirl! the strongest fight
has been made on tho JtepubHean policy
Hilcd the Vermonters but littlo.” It
oiiiiio near Iho mark iu SS)ing that it
“looked to her quietly retaining her
steady position in the itepublicau column
by a majority ranging from 20,(MM) to JM,-
ooo, and h aving tho Presidential situs
tion uniiirectcd by her vote." *J lie last
report of the election being a Uadieul
majority of about !?.*»,(Mto, the JJrridil'n
prophecy of the non-siguiOcuhco of the
election has be« u verifnsi.
The noxt btuto to have a genera) elec
tion is Muinc, on Monday next. 'Iho
lh raid is not so confident that the Hudi-
eat strength will remain unbroken there
us it was iu rogurd to Vermont, bill thin/.H
that such will be tho probable result. We
copy whut it Inis to Hty about it:
in Maine there bun been some cHort at
a diversion in favor of the Liberal Kopuh-
lieau movement, and, as wo have said,
tho pilgrimugo of Mm dam-eating Philos
opher may have made some impressiou on
tho regular ltcpublican strength. Never
theless, the ta .l; of shaking Dio uteady
tide lily of the pally III that titutu is, we
bdiuvo, aluiOHt us hopdors as it would ho
in Vermont. Prcinolit's majority in
Maine in ls.'iti was Lincoln's tun-
j«irity in D'.tJtf win 2l,0h0, slid hi 1N(»I was

hypocritical while we have tho pledge of vote for Governor was divided b. twe
hiimidf nml his party that the “policy" of
refpilating by Fcdcrnl intervention tho
loc-'ll affairs of tho Southern Htates shidl
lie continued under their continued rule.
Jtut Mr. Grodoy and bis Liberal support
ers (whatever they ruay have sided iu do
ing in tho past) solemnly mol unequivo
cally pledge themselves to restore local
self-government to the Southern States;
and thin wo regard as tho groat issuo of
the coldest, which should decide tho
oourso of every Southern uutu w ho looks
before and not behind him.
Ami now, to show that wo have not
misruproHcnlod tho Grant Undien! or the
Greeley Liberal party, iu this stiitemont
of their respective pledgos, wo have only
to make quotations from their platforms,
its follows:
Tho Radical platform, in its nccond
rni.ohitinn, declares Mist “this glorious
11 cord of the jiusf. is the party’s best
plodge of the. future" “an exact equal!-
Chmiiherlriii, tho regular republican, nml
llichboiii, tlie temperance republican,
mid, although Gliitiiihuilain only got
twelve thousand majority over tho demo
cratic candidate, Dm two republicans to
gether obtained over seventeen Ih aisand
majority; and this was claimed by Dm par
ty urginiN at the time as their true Vote.
Last y< ur Mm Kepuldieuii majority on
Pelham for Governor over Kuubidi was
between toil and eleven thousand. We
may, therefore, cidcnlnto that the Repub
lican majority on next Monday will range
from teu to lit teen thousand, if the elec
tion is to lie nil ordinary one, and to have
little or no etl'ect upon the more impor
tant oanvnKH iu November; but if it
should fall below Mie smaller liguru or
me above the larger, tho result may have
consiilorablo inllueiico on Die October
elections, ami through them upon the
Presidential contest. In the one ease it
will lie taken to indicate a coming disrup
tion of the Republican party, and in the
other to prove Dint, despite tho succes
sion of some of the most promiiii nt lead
ers of Da! party, its columns are still hoI-
iil nml unshaken. Tim hopes of both
sides have been excited in regard to tho
Maine trial, and the exortiona that have

A LITTLE SCRAP OF LEO lift! A IIINTORT.
From Iho reoordi of Wilkes Superior
Court it appears that Henry Osborne, ol
Augusta, was Judge of the Superior CoiitU
of Georgia in 17'Jtl. lie died t»u St. Si-
mou's Island, w lnlo on tho -Circuit, No
vember 1st, l.^tMl; which shows that he
Was Judge for at ieast teu years, ami that
Iheie was but one judicial circuit :u tb<
State at that time.
TruJiliou has it that he wan an liisli-
nmn by birth.
It is isiid that he chulDnged Gov. Janies
Jackson, went on the held, and received
his lire without returning it. It is Mho
stated that ho was inqicuchcd for having
out* red Dm polls closed ut uu ebs tion
earlier than allowed by law. From this it
would seeni thul Judges laid powers then
of which they have since been shorn.
From a j ampldct pubiisheal by Lit*
grandson, it appears that at the time of
liis douth he owned Jitty thoii-.and acr«u

and laid out the town oi Dt. Mary's, and
that, by his will, dated at Augusta, No

In sinking contrast with this Radical
ondoi'Htiiiif lit of all that hail been done,and
pledge to continue Mi© “policiy," wo now
present tin* lib rosolutioii of tho platform
of Du- Cincinnati Convention, endorsed
at Raltimoro:
Fourth— Local self government, with
impartial NuU'rngo, will guard tho rights
of all citi/.oim more soevmdy than any
contralized power. Tho puhlio welfare
requires the supremacy of the civil over
the military authority, aud tho freedom
of persons under tho protection of the
habeas earjaiH. Wo demand for the indi
vidual tho largest liberty consistent with
puhlio ordor, for tho SlateH Holf-govorn-
moiil, ami for the nation a return to tho
methods of peace and tho constitutional
limitations of power.
Mr. Uroolcy, in Ids letter accepting
lhe Cincinnati nomination and platform,
roilorntnl tho principle of this Ith resolu
tion oven more energetically, by putting
it lliua: “that Micro shall lie no Fodi-ral
supervision of tho internal polity of tho
several States nml municipalities, but that
each shall be left to enforce the rights
ami promote the well-being of its inlmbi-
tauls by such iiiuhiin hs the judgment of
its own |H<oplosliull proscribe."
A word more in reference to the Sun's
continual remembrance of Mr. Greeley's
former expressions and party nffiliations,
and its refusal to consider his pledges or
commitments for tho future, nml wo nlmll
have had our Hay. If Mr. Ntophous were
a enudiduto for office, w ith distinct declara
tions of opinions and purposes regarding
the m \v, living nml prnotionl iHiliticnl
questions of tho present day, looking to
both old Whigs nml Democrats for his
support, would he regard it ns either per
tinent or fuir iu us to try to shove
out of tho wny his programme for tho fu
ture, and to try to nrouse old prejudices
against him, by continually parading his
dcuunciatiomi of the Democracy as a
“party with tho dry rot," or his abandon
ment of tho Whig party ou ita incidental
ly protective tariff measure? Could ho
not properly rebuke ns us a political lag
gard who lmd not kept up with tho issues
of tho day, atul who lurried bchiud to
light a windmill whilo cvcrhody clos was
“at tho frout” engaged in tho great strug
gle that was to deoiilo whether we woro to
be ruled for tho ensuing four yearn by a
eentrulizi-d despotism or by local self-gov

John Chinaman has occasioned some cu
rious religious complications iu San Fran
cisco. Some memliors of tho Third Con
gregational church hod formed a class of
iutelligeut Chinese, taught them tho rudi
ments of the English language, and also
instructed them in matters of religion,
and after a while tho loader of the move
ment thought their pupils sufficiently ad
vanced to bo imrmittcd to worship in tho
church every Sunday. This waa bitterly
opposed by some of the congregation,and
when a vote was taken there were fifty-two
in favor and eighteen ngaiust admission.
TLe minor ty made things so lively that
Die ndmission of the Chineseoonverts was
postponed six months ; and in the mean

Loithvilli-:, Septombi r 1.—The report
of the committee on resolutions is as fol
lows :
Whereas, tho frequent recurrence to
first principle:) nnd eternal vigilance
against abuses, are tho wisent provisions
for liberty, which is a sotuvo of progress,
nud fidelity to our constitutional system
is tho only protection for citln-r:
Thcrcfoio, icsolvud, Thut tho origimd
basi)! of our wholo political structure is
consent in every parr thereof. Tho peo
ple of ouch Statu vuluuturi.y created their
State, aud tho Slates voluuturily formed
a Union, nnd each provided by its written
Constitution, for everything a Stuto should
do for tho protection of lito, liberty and
properly within it; nnd each State joint
ly w ith others, provided a Federal Union
for foreign and iuter-Stato relations.
Resolved, That all governmental pow
ers, whether State or Federal, uto trust
powers, c juiing from the people of each
State, aud that they are limited to the
writtcu letter of the Constitution nnd tho
luws passed in pursuance of it, which
powers must bo exercised iu Die utmost
good faith, tho Constitution itself proving
iu w hat manner they may bo altered nud
amended.
Resolved, Thut tho interests of labor
and capital should nut bo permitted to
oontbet, but should bo made harmonious
by judicious legislation. While such eou-
lliets coutiuue, labor, which is tho parciit
of wealt!', is entitled to paramount con
sideration.
Resolved, That wo proclaim to tho
world Dint \ rinciplo is to be preferred to
power ; that tho Democratic party is held
together by a cohesion to tiiuo-houored
principles which they will never surrender
iu exchange for all tho offices which Pres
idents can confer. Tho pnugs of the mi
norities are doubtless excruciating, but
wo wolcouio au oteruul minority umkr
the banner inscribed with our principles,
rnlUcv than un almighty uud cvetlastiug
majority purchased by their abaudou-
lUUUt.
Kcsolvod, Thut hnviug been betrayed
nt Baltimore iuto a false creed uiul a talso
leadership by that Convention, wo repu
diate both, and appeal to tho pooplo to
3 rove our platform, aud to rally to the
Is and to tho support of the truji plat

Mr. Str|)Iu'nx to ffrant.
Washington, D. C., Sept. f».-—Alexan
der 11. Stephens, Vice President of tho
Southern Confederacy, has addressed a
letter to the President, deploring, iu this
enlightened ago, the retention nt Albnuy
of prisoners convicted under tho Ku-lvlux
Uw. lie procccdsnt much leugth to give
his opinion ou the subject, and believing
that tho punishiacut already suffered lms
condoued to some extent for pn«t offenses,
and ear::aslly entie .ts the President to
extend to all the Executive clemency
prayed for by Gorrilt Smith in the oases
of ihre*c, and further icoouiunmded by
the cbiof of the secret service division.
Tho moguauiiuity of such an exerciso of
the paidoning power, now that the gov
ernment has shown itself capable of sup
pressing all kinds of disorders in the oneo
insurrectionary States, would be akin to
that which has heretofore rocomiucuded
general amnesty.
U is reported to no, on good authority,
that the lion. A. H. Stephens recently
■y.1 that, as between Grant and Greeley,
he should take the former. Doubtless
think tho sentiment of ninety-nine and
three-quarter hundredths of the Straights.
We do sot object, but insist upon their .
fighting under the Grant flag openly and |
•bon towl-Maetn BnltrpnH,

1 belong to that
• readied Dio position in winch I
land in tins cauvuiH by a caret ul survey
f the field of duty, amt not from impulse
r nioie |! r until iiiciinstion. I have
iciglud the calamities which will accrue
n ti.o country from Omul's ru-eieotiou
: against the benefits which arc proenrod
I by tin* election of Greeley, and have ta
ken my stand accordingly. (Applause.)
I Wo bear, however, of another convention
! to take place at Louisville. 1 Imve no
: word of abuse to hurl at tho men engaged
in calling it, but their purpose cannot bo
mistaken. Every intelligent man in tho
United Slates knows that it is a move
ment solely iu the interest of Grant, end
directly tending to his re-election, the
prolongation of the ruin uf Dio South,
and Du* lurthor growth of corruption iu
every department of tho Govcrniuout.
If any one conceives it his duty to sup
port Grant Ut iiim do it openly nml ill-
rectly. But let no one dccoivo himself,
or l*o deceived, ns to the pur|>o.so and re
sult ot that convention. (Applause.] It
is tho hope of the Grant party. It is in
the mouths of all his followers. It is
praised by his mlliereiits. It is counte
nanced by Morton aud upheld by the
money of tho Administration ring. These
facts are full of warning to tho Demo
crats who honestly desire Dio success of
their party nnd the reformation of public
affairs. | Applause. | Lot ns, then, stand
by tho only uiau who can defeat Grant
and briii;* peace nud reconciliation to the
couiitiy. Mr. Greeley limy not lmvo been
your first choice, as he was not mine, but
ho is now tho otdy choice wo e«u make
by which to accomplish lids great aud no

Tim New York Tribuno is paying it® re

its usual vim. The Tribune make® Clews’

ut h tor him a® follows :
Mr. Clows thinks the business interests
of the country couldn’t stand Mr. Gree
ley’s election. Mr. Clows iu partly right.
Tho business interests of his house might
suffer from tho hostility of tho now Ad
ministration to ®uch swindling und such
swindlers.
We have mndo do attempt to show in
this, ur iu previous articles, tho general
rascality of this Brunswick and Albany
Railroad business; how tho road was so
wretchedly built t»® not to bo fit for use ;
how Henry Clew® was to bavo one-fourth
of what tho contractors inode; how tho
dutv of certif> iug nnd indorsing tho
bonds, which, by tho act of 1809, was
vested in the Treasurer, Mr. Angi« r, was
taken fr *tu that office, by tho act of 1870,
uml trai.afurred to Bullock, simply because
the Tic.i®.uor mu® h most uud tiro Uovor-

touched on in a careful article in The Fi
nancier of August 31, part of which wo
produce iu another column. Wo have
simply endeavored to throw light on the
question whether Henry Clews is rnoro
knave tbau fool. He claims to bo simply
the latter. But ho insist® that tho busi

stand tho election of Mr. Greeley.

that tho immense nnd fertile lowland®

Khedive has acted upon Sir Samuel’®
