The Chairman next introduced the lion.

He domed the right of (leorgia to ass ess

They should at tho election mnrch
to lhe polls two thousand strong, with
hatchets in their Imuds -not pistols, be
cause pistols might snap. Tho police
might have their seventeen shooters, but
hatchets were better iu eloso quarters.
T he whites iu Savnniinh were but eleven
thousand, the blacks fourteen thousand,
und it they got to lighting at every corner
of the streets the whites would meet an
other body of the blacks with hatehots in
their hands. Tho eolored sorvnnt girls
would then set lire to tho hods in the
houses, the wives and daughters of tho
whites would tly from their houses for
tho sen, and their liUNhands and fathers
would stop lighting to go to look uftor
them.

THE CMFRKUUMVK IHKI’K.
Every day’s progress of tbo Pro siden-
tial campaign mskos plainer tbo fact that
should Orant be re-eb-cted the Kadiesl
policy of bate and tyranny towards the
people of tbe South will bo prolonged, if
not intensified; while the oioction of
Greeley will be an end of all such sec
tional persecution, and will bo tho inau
guration of an earnest effort to restore
the equality of tho States and hriug about
national reconciliation and fraternity.—
I lout well and Dolano uttcrod tho key-note
of the Kadieal policy in their North Caro-
Ima canvass -they irntilil not “shake
hnnds across the biootly chasm.” Grant s
ice-holders’ convention of “soldiers
I sailors” st Fittshurgh ro-cclioe<l the
senlinicnt—they would sbaku “lists'' in
stead of Imuds across that chasm. Ins
number of *|>o*cbo* by Kadically inspired
m green in Georgia aud elsewhere tbe
perpetuation of antagonism of tbo two
races at the South Las boon distinctly an
nounced. And this iiutngoniKm is a nec
essary consequence of the continuance of
tho Kadieal policy by tbo rc-cloction of
Gnnoral Grant. It is tbo only means that
tho Kodioals havo of keeping up a party
at the South. This is now no apparent
that tho wonder is how any true Southern
mini, white or black, can fuil to si o that
the only hope of tho tranquility of our
Huctinu nml its recovery of mateiinl pros
perity and political security depends
upon the election of Horace Greeley—
that his electiou is to us a necessity of
tho greatest importance.
The latest lludioal schcino for keeping
the South under continued arbitrary Jud
ical rule is disclosed iu a Washington dis-
putrh of tho 2(»tli Inst., which we copy :
Washington, September 26 —It is un-
Icrstood that Llm report alluded to iu the
following Washington special to the New
York l’ost, ih to bo used as a campaign
document :
“The officers who were nent to the
Southern Stales by the Department ot
Justice, to examine into the condition of
nftairs, und to dulcet any organized at
tempts to violate thu revenue laws i.ud
tho enforcement act, have submitted vo
luminous rejMiils to tho Attorney General.
From these, it appeals that thu Kii-klux
order is giving way to a now organization,
similar to the former, in many respect*,
but having a different mode of ucoiuplish-
ing the same cud.
“This now organization is spreading
rapidly through all tho Southern Slut os,
and is intended to be mode very effectual
for Greeley, during tho present campaign,
by intimidating Voters in localities where
the Kcpuhlicau element is not in the as
cendancy. Tho order has uslablihlicd
lodges iu Hourly every oouuty in Missi t-
sippi, Alabama and Georgia and is rapidly
extending itself to othor States.
“Several ofliceis of tho Government,
by disguising themselves, succeeded ill
getting initiated into the order and ob
serving fully its workings and are, there
fore, enabled to take steps to prevent its I
plans from being hiicccmfuliy curried '
out.”
Gf course wo of tho South know all
this to be infamously false; but the mis
fortune with iis is that we cannot, by our
selves, vindicate our people ami our sec
tion from such calumnies. Tbu Kudicula
ward iis in the spirit of tho old
maxim, “give a dog a bud iinino," Ac.
g as a rilling Federal party baa the
animiiH aud the interested motives that
actuate the Kadicul parly in this continued
warfare upon a weak hiiiI helpless section
the Hnion, so long will auch false-
Is be concocted to order and used
iiuser iipiiloiisly to our political and male-
rial injury. Our only hope of deliverance
this Kadieal policy of hate und pot
ion is in accepting the alliance of
the Liberal KepublicaiiH uiul dueling
lloruce Greeley.
Gov. Smith bits ordered a special elec
'll, "ii the IMUh of October, for the late
•IIII OongreHHionul Distiict, for a Knpre-
entulivo to fill the vacancy caused by tho
loath "f lion. T. J. Spoor. Tho special
loci ion is ordered because the counties
>f the Distiict are differently groupod un-
ler the existing districting arrangement,
end it would produce eoiilusioit to have
me counties voting on tho niiiiio day for
ro Congressmen, one as the Keprescnta-
i'o of the -tth, aud the other as tho Kcp-
sciitativo of tho fdh or filli District.
The KmlicalN have nominated Judge
James H. Greene ah their candidate to fill
this vacancy. 3'ho Democrats Imvo made

The following extract from a special
dispatch of the 2.**tb Instant to the Lonis-

plain ooo of onr dispatches of yesterday,
announcing the rorifuimmation of the
nrb' ine foretold on the Sfr»th : “'Hie Cam
eron men are very despondent, and ore
astonished ami bewildered at tho effects
of Governor Curtin's letter. In older to
innteract its influence, there is a plan
for Gov. Geary to pardon out Yorkcs,
n<»w in tbo poriitentisry,on condition that
he will exonerate Hsrtrnnft from compli
city in the frauds, and swear that the affi
davit lately published is a forgery, and
that llirtranfi's letters to him nre forge
ries. Yorkes is made to believe tbit this
is his only hope of escape, and none but
Hsrtranft ai d tbo ring parti-ains are al
lowed access to him. Gov. Gonry Inis
gone to l'liilodctphia, and, if iMjssible, tho
bargain with Yorkes will Lo made.”

General II. L. Hesuisf’s Address Last M|ht.
Tho address delivered by General Ben
tiing Inst night to a largo and respectable
assemblage "f our citizons was a masterly
effort in direct ness, boldness and exhaus
tive argument*. Thoso who know him
know he is not a man to mince mutters,
slid in I Lis effort ho did justice to his well-
earned reputation, lie devoted most of
the tune to an able and unanswerable vin
dication of the wisdom of the Baltimore
Gouvention iu nominating Mr. Greeley
uk the candidate of tho Democracy, aud
show<d tiow plain was tho duty of that
party, snd of all the Koulhern moo, to
give him no grudging, but an enthusias
tic support. He brushed away like cob
webs tbe. flimsy objections and fwlluciea
which well-meaning but mislnken Demo
crats made to that nomination, snd prov
ed from hii record how well he was enti
tled to Southern support on States Bight
ground**, and on the ground of future
safety of the South. Ilia appeal to the
Straight-outs was equally charade) ized
by good feeling and sound argument, and
wo only regret that every one of that par
ty had not been prom nt to listen to liis
conclusive refutation of their mistake in
heartily adopting a candidate who hod
placed himself on so sound a Democratic
platform, and who was so firm a fiiend of
the Honth, whoso salvation now depends
oil bis election and the expulsion from
power of the llndical party, our deadliest
enemy. Wo only wish wo could repro
duce, in extra no, this powerful appeal to
tho go .d sense and patriotism of our peo
ple. General Kenning has proved his de
votion to his htato aud section too thor
oughly, by his acts and with his sword, to
allow nny one to dutibt L!u Min ority or
his testimony. The hist Confederate offi
cer at Appomatox to surrender, ho w
also lie tho Inst man in Georgia to sui

Wo have no other information as to the
teruia of Hole, the parties purchasing, Ac.,
than is stated iu the body of the message,
but private information of a semi-official
Uaractcr leads us to believe that tho sale
was virtually dosed on the 2bth of last
month, and that its confirmation was de
layed lor the double purpose of putting a
final cud to all litigation and securing the
prompt payment of tbo purchase money.
In order to compass the first object aa
agreed case was submitted to Jnstico
Bradley of the Supreme Court, on which
a decision was rendered affirming the sole
iu bankruptcy, aud in effect embodying
tho principles, os it strikes ns sought
bu established by the well known Attor
neys bill of tho laat seoeion ol thu legis
lature.
T he sale, thus confirmed, vested a per.
feet title in the State which coaid lm
transferred to the purchaser os other ti>
ties aro. This course was necessary in
order to avoid future trouble aud compli
cations arising oat of any technical lluws
that might be supposed to exist in the
proceedings in bankruptcy, and tho salo
under order of the Bankrupt Court. In
this procedure, us is evident from the ten
or and Mgnature of our dispatch, tho At
torneys for the State and the Governor
acted in a spirit of compromise with the
Attorneys for the first mortgnte bond
men; and tho rcoaou is obvious—if not
troin this dispatch at loast from others
Hint have preceded it. It is true Stan
ton loses all ownership in and title to the
road, but the purchaser having agreed to
i inptoy his services as Superintendent
Lo still retaius the means of making it
profitable without incurring any of tho
hazards of personal liability for its debts.

“like masters, like mon,” thu whole budy
of office-holders, 50,000 to 75,000, goner-
ally influential meu, aro devoting their
time aud tuleuts to re-electing their supe
riors to office ami thereby keeping them
selves in place.
1 venture to sAy that since the first day
of May last, Federal officeholders have
done more work and devotod more atteO'
lion to keepiug their places than they
havo to doing their duty. All of them
are enormously taxed and their energies
employed to sustain this inaction of pow
er, and they aro running and racing over
the country, giving op to party service,
aud to the President’s re-election, tin
time nnd energies that belong to the peo
ple, for which the peoplo have paid and
of which the people ought to have tbo ad

Now take my excellent friend Genernl

Ho will make a good one. lie ii a good

al HdrtiuiAn is a naval officer of thu port
of Boston—a responsible position, with a
good salary, which bo doubtlosa cams;
but here he is earning it—earning it
speaking in Pennsylvania. [Laughter.]
I have found him iu Connecticut, in Maine
aud so ou. How under henveus can he
earn the mouey wo are paying him,in that
position of uuval officer, at Boston while
he is speaking all over ihe country ? He
is a good, capable man, and makes good
speeches; but 1 say he ought to make his
sjieochcs on his book as I do. [Prolonged
laughter.] He ought not to be paid fur
nuking them out of tbe Federal Treasury.
[Great applause.]
Now there is another point to which the
people are not likely to be reconciled, aud
that is,tho euonuous use of money in this
election. Iu all the elections ever held,
from George Washington down to the
present time, thore has not been so much
money Rpeut by both partiea, as has been
in this election spent by the Graut party
idoue. They have the 'Treasury at their
back. This vast aimy of office-holders,
their Credit Mobilier men, with their
largo dividends—dividends five times as
large as tho capital iu vested. I tell you,
that right dowu in houest old Vermont,
whore people uevor heard of mouey be
ing paid before, their mouey was poured
out like water to induce Democrats to
vote for tho Grant ticket, or stay away
from the polls. So in Maine—a hundred
thousand dollars was paid in Main* for
votes.
Now gentlemen, if they eloct their tick
et this fall, it will be because they have
cue hundred dollars to onr one.

profitable rut urns which must result from

Anterior to the war, there was lialoral
antagonism between tbe planting and
manufacturing interests South, growing
out of apprehension ou the part of tin*
planter that the vicinage of free labor
would demoralize slave lubor, and make it
less valuable property. From our present
stand point, this must be regarded as hav
ing been an unfortunate view of the sub
ject, as many behove that had the plan
ters combined and manufactured their
cotton in such form as to have mode it
easier of transportation, with enhanced
value, it would have aggregated that phys
ical and financial strength, which would
have made the South too formidable to l.o
forced into obnoxious relations, supposing
that under such combinat ions of interests,
tbo antngoni-ma leading to disruption of
the Union, might uot have been removed.
But this is “digging up yesterday," nnd

Ouo of tho most important measures
beforo tho Legisluluro was a bill exempt
ing cotton and wooluu manufactories from

Senator Steadman, and passed both bous
es by largo majorities:
An Act to Enoourage tho Manufacture vf
Cotton and Wooleu Fabrics iu the State

Section 1. Be it enacted, That for the

manufacture of fabrics, out of cotton or
wool or both, whether such investment
be applied iu the establishment of a new
factory or in tbe exteusiou or enlargement
of a now existing factory, shall bo exempt
from taxation for State, county or muni
cipal purposes ou the capital so invested,
and ou auy property purchased or erected
therewith, intended* tor and uecesMsry to
such manufacture, for the term of teu
years from aud after the laying of the
foundation so to be crcrtid. And it shall
be the duty of the individual or individu

fit of suuh exemption, to repoit to the
Comptroller-General of the State tho
amount of the capital so invested, and the
time when the foundation of the mill
reached the surface of tho ground and
where aituAted : Frovided, 'that incase
of the exteutiou or enlargement of any
factory now uhUl>li»bod aud iu operation,
this act shall not bo so construed as to
exempt from taxation investments made
and applied to such purpose prior to the
passage of this act.
Section 2. It shall not bolawfnl for any
State, oouuty or municipal officer to re

body oor|>orate, who shall make auch in

of this act, after ita passage, and shall

Tho Lancashire Cotton Mill Owners
have decided to reduce tho number of
hours of daily labor in the English i
Bailments, in consequence of the nd
w hich h«H token place in tho price of coni.
This step will be felt not only in the homo
industries, but iu tho markets of tho
world. It will, as n matter of course, cur
tail the wages receipts of tho operatives
and at tho same tinio adds to tho cost of
tho product. This English coal supply
question is a very serious one. Econom
ic statists have long since foretold that in
or nbont the rear of Ic70 Great Britain
would begiu to experience a want of coal,
and that within some few years subse
quently fIio would be compelled by this
cause to transfer her manufacturing ma
chinery to the water power of Ireland.—
Tho calculation may bo verified. In iie-
laud tbu motive power would cost noth

of coal for the use of her huge steam na
