Mr. Raymond and other Conservatives Expelled. Washington, Sept. 4.—The majority of the Repub lican National Executive Committee appointed by the Convention which nominated Lincoln at Baltimore in 1364, met in Philadelphia yesterday and passed a reso lution expelling Henry J.

Raymond, Sperry, Cuthbert, Bullet t and others, met at the Aster House in New York city, but adjourned on account of there being so few members present.

This document will be published at length in the city papery and. » well wprthylpjrufci pot only indfcldwin dainty, but throughout the State. Luckily, litigation is the exception and the kind forbearance so much needed by the debtor class is the general rule among them. I do not think the legal fra ternity can grow lich.in this region, without an increase of business. Among the lawyers from other counties, I observe Cols. Wing field, of Eatonton; Hardeman, of Clinton; Cumming, of Irwinton, and Hon. Howell Cobb and Cols. Harris and Jackson, of Macon. r The able and intelligent bar of Mfiledgeville were in attendance Sf coarse. Two murder ’ cases'Were’ tried; the first, Green Williams, indicted for the murder of Elias Mahon, was convicted and sentenced to confinement in the Penitentiary for life. If the most rabid Radical in Massachusetts had been present, he would have been compelled to acknowledge that every el ement of fairness and equality - with the white man was accorded him in the pro ceedings attendant on his trial from begin ning to end. He was a full-blooded negro, and bad joined Sherman’s army in 1864 at this city. His victim was a white man, killed under circumstances displaying great cruelty and malice on the part of the mur derer. Let no one say the negro is dealt harshly with in Georgia. It was the mercy of the Jury and the Judge that prevented his hanging. He was arrested immediately after committing the murder; and lay in jail here until his trial; end strange as it may seem to Radicalism, no attempt was made to mob him. Would a Georgian, a white man, kill ing a negro under aggravating circumstances of malice, in the refined and pious city of Boston, escape being mobbed ? The last day of the Court was enlivened by several divorce cases. Five were granted in an hour. ~ And then came the finale in the shape of a white man and bis', negro wife, brought into court for illegal Cohabitation. He was a Spaniard, named Josenh Ortegas said he was born in the Province ot Biscay in Spain—had lived in Havana, and also in your goodly city—had an interesting foreign accent, not Germanically guttural, but partaking of the smothness of “bastard Lat in"—whitish Spanish-looking complexion, light straight hair and a profile reminding one of the “image and superscription” of Julius Csesar. Beskle him, in the pride of rusty sootiness, stood his “better half,” bearing a stfiklng feeemblance to her illustri ous majesty, the present Queen ot Dahomey. The bridegroom produced a regular marriage license, endorsed with a certificate that the marriage ceremony had been regularly per formed by a Chaplain of a Regiment of U. S. Colored Infantry in Nashville, Tennessee! The State cruelly objected that the marriage was illegal and void, when the ready Biscayan avowed that he had negro blood in his veins. The Court appointed two of our most scientific, physicians to the task, who took the Biscayan into a private room, ex ainined him ethnologicatly, and soon returned with the report that he was an octaroon! The Court at once discharged, him on this higlfjfAvilege ofjgiut/u fceyij*,'fujiljbji and his lovely Dinah walked triumphantly forth “unwbipt of justice,’’ amid the jeers of the white boys, and the exultations of the numerous “nigger” spectators.

The Government Loans Important Movements in Proobess.—The Treasury Department is busily engaged in converting seven-thirties into five-twenties. , The re cent advance of the five-twenties in Europe, bringing them up to the high currency price of seven-thirties in this country, and the in creasing demand for gold-bearing bonds for shipment abroad, makes it advantageous for •lie holders of seven-thirties to convert them into five-twenties at once. The idea ol put ting out a five per cent, loan, which was abandoned during the late European panic, is revived. The advance in all classes of Go vernment securities, and the superabundance °f currency, induces the belief thgtihe con ditions are favorable for soceesAfhny placing upon the market a five per cent, loan at par.

Alfred Huger. Charleston, S. C., August 22. To the Editor of the New York World: Sib : I most unwillingly leave the retire ment and obscurity which old age and cir cumstances have provided; but a remark in your paper of the 13th seems to demand it. A writer signed “S.,” replying to. an article in Harper’s Magazine for August, introduces my name in these words : “This must refer to Alfred Hnger, for many years postmaster at Charleston,” Ac., Ac. I turn tc the Maga zine, and to my surprise find a contributor, whose purpose and motives it is not my busi ness to define, making coital ont of so bar ren a subject as myself. /Beginning with the “Burning of Columbia,” and the abuse bf General Hampton, he says : “Among others to whom 1 was sent to give assistance, Was Mr. Huger, a well known citizen of Soiith Carolina, and then recounts an elaborate (Mal versation about a band of thieves, calling themselves Wheeler’s cavalry, Ac.; and in another part of his narrative writes: ®Whfc the citizens of Columbia begin their invest! gations of the burning of that city, and the pillaging of houses and robbing of citizens, let them not forget to take the evidence of Mr. Huger!” I am thus put oh the stand without being consulted, and shall commence by saying that if this individual or any other was ever “ sent ” to my “ assistance ” the mission has been strangely disregarded, I ftversawany such person as he claims to be, though I was an eye-witness to the burning of Columbia. I never had any such intercourse with any human being in General Sherman’s army, or out of it; and if investigations are made, ohd the evidence of Mr. Hnger is Called for, I shall, with a deep consciousness of what is due to truth, say that, before Almighty God, all that I saw, all that I heard, all that I suf fered, all that I believe, is in direct opposi tion to what is affirmed byj the writer for Harper’s Magazine, and for which he quotes Air Hnger as a portion of his authority: and I ask leave to add, after maturely reflecting upon the events of that fearful night, when every feeling of humanity seemed to be ob literated, if my “ well-being” here and here after depended on the accuracy of my state ment, I would say that the- precision, order,, method, and discipline which prevailed from the entrance of the Federal army to its de parture, could only emanate from military authority. How could I come to any other conclu sion, with the fact, regarded as indisputable, that the city was doomed before it was taken ? and that, as the tragedy progressed, everybody saw the programme carried out, as they had previously expected ? or how am I to believe my owu senses when an indi vidual, pretending to be an officer, talks of burning the city, pillaging houses, robbing citizens, Ac., as if “these” were unfounded charges? Why, sir, I never supposed I was dealt with more hardly than others, because I know that the “pltmder” wi universal. Yet Mr. Hnger, who is to bear witness for one who was sent to assist him, now declares “that be was mercilessly robbed; that his person was ruthlessly violated ; that food was taken away from his orphan children, and that bis family were brutally insulted by well-mounted and well- armed men in the uniforms of the United States!” For angbt I know, it may be usual or even necessary to grant this license, while the denial is equally aosurd and wicked, and the attempt to implicate other people is the consummation ot both ! Bnt this is the end that such thiogs come to, and the natural consequence ot calling witnesses to prove what the witnesses themselves know to- be . I saw those who were apparently plying their vocation deliberately set fire to houses, carrying with them combustible preparations for doing so. Of the effort made to prevent them I say nothing, because I saw nothing. It gratifies me, however, to- relate this in stance of kindness. My own house was about to be destroyed by the firing of an ad joining buildiDg. There were two Western men looking on—soldiers in the true sense of the word. I asked one of them (their names were Elliot and Goodman, one from Indiana, the other from Iowa), “Have you a family aQhome?”' He answered : “Yes.” I said to him-. “My family are ill in that room ;• have you no thought of your own ?’’ The man showed that he had a heart, and, as the incendiary moved off to other subjects, he did assist me, without being “sent,” and with my servants and tbe only child big enough to “hand a bucket,” we savtd the house, with its belpleps inmates, ’thanks to the good Samaritan. 5 « My conviction is that Columbia was cru elly and uselessly sacked and horned, with out resistance, after being in complete pos session of General Sherman’s army; bnt who gave the “order” to apply the torch is not for the victims either to know or to cate. Hundreds of helpless women and children were turned out to their fate. It is the .his torian’s business to find evidence to meet the' case, not mine, and my voice would never have been heard bad I not been unjustly dragged Before the public- The “tnitn! and the whole truth” will probably never appear; linl it Sa in t.he hiffh nf (jam wfonfc but it is “recorded in tbe high Chancery of Heaven,” where no human power can make the erasure. I Mr. Editor, I crave yonr patience a little longer, and beg your attention to the first sentence in tbe article of which -1 complain. It reads thus: “It Mr. Wade Hampton is anxious to add a deep shame to a dishonored name, he has attained that end by. his re- hewed attempts to hold- Gen. Sfiedfca* sponsible for tbe banting of Columbia an(T its terrible consequences,” Ac. Now, «|r, I speak for every honest man between the mountains and the sea coast, end between tbe SaV’innah river and the Pee Dee,whe say, “It this opinion and this epithet ore tw equally revolting and insulting, then; the common sensibilities of nature are made ex tinct by tbe sufferings we have endured If “Hampton” Js a “dishonored name,” there is none within the limits of this downtroddeu ami persecuted State tpat oao considered, as unsullied. ' ' I —- Here in South Carolina, end throughout the South, every human beieg feels thjt where the name of Hampton is best knpwn it is the most revered, and be who beam ilj tbe most beloved. Before the present incum bent saw tbe light, that name was identified with all that is brave, aud honorable, and generous. What a noble sire (who emphati cally and habitually “did the honors” of his native State) has left impressed upon ■ tbe hearts of bis countrymen as a legacy to bis children, this slandered Mr. Wade Hamotofy i late Lieutenant General at tbe Coafederate army, will transmit to another generation, bright and untarnished. If there ia one among us more cherished than the rest, It is he, upon whom this gratuitous assault te so brutally, aud yet so feebly made. And if, to-day or to-morrow, ia canvass should be - opened for out “representative man,” to tbe highest office in the gift of aheart-brokeh bat grateful people, none could be found strong enough to compete with him for thek favor. Aud it would be untrue to the Jiving, and tbe dead, if such were not the unani mous decision. till I have said that the historian must, find evidence as to the training of Columbia, and he will find it; the foolish attempt; to hold Hampton responsible is beyond the tether of his last calumniator, and is hardly worthy Tbsse few questions, few «*•!*( when they are asked, will be found difficult lo answer; .Where .weal Hampton the conflagration begad " to take its regalar course at 8 o'clock »t night, Did thasotton which was burning at the east end tor* Main street travel against a gale of wind to the ex treme West, more than a mile off?

Did Hamp ton bum the country seats surrounding Co lumbia, leaving his kith and kindreAwith ou t a shelter?

Did he bum Camden and Winnsborough, and Cherawil tbei^au«y-ef »W»^#att ffl «ken from the citBamfiGOtf Colombia sold for Hampton’s benefit in New York arid elsewhere ? Is it the necessary province of. •war to obliterate all mercy and all shttne ? But enough; when the Searcher of Hearfs commences His “investigations,” Hampton will be found entrenehed by truth—yuf- roundda by thh* strength, which ^prosperity and victory” cannot give, and which “advef-. sity and malignity” cannot take away.

Alfred Huoeb. DISGRACtCFUL RADICAL RIOT IN INDIANA. Attack.on a Democratic Troeeaclaa. i [From .the Indianapolis Herald, Ang. 28.] . A gentleman who was at Danville on Sun day; gives the following account of the tree as at Danville on Saturday evening, after tbe adjournment of the.Democratic and Conser vative mass meeting, which was held upen. the Fair Grounds, a mile and a half from the county seat. He says: “Tbe meeting was conducted in perfect quint and , good order. After the adjourn ment, as a few wagons, containing men, wo men and children, were returning through Danville, some Radicals of a low order, no doubt,-commenced abusing the occupants, saying that they could whip any ‘butternut’ in the crowd, and challenging them to a fight. When one of tbe most prominent of the disturbers, a deserter from the Fifty-first Indiana Volunteers, by the name of Curtis, was raving about whipping Copperheads, a returned soldier by the name of Spear, who served three years in the Seventy-ninth In diana, not liking the ‘style,’ remarked that tbe rowdy was ‘a d——d liar,’ and after a few words they came to blows. “The crowd immediately formed a ting, and tbe soldier proceeded to give tbe bully the severest drubbing be ever had. At about the Bame time some three or four fisticuffs .look-place; but tbe only missile used was a bottle, which was thrown by one ot tbe Radicals'.' Alter thbse fights the Radicals, seeing they were not strong enough to ac- cmnpjisb (heir threats, re turned, to town, end after re-enforcing themselves came 'out and met the procession as'it was going through town before dispersing, and rode along the line cursing and abusing every one in it, riding from one wagon to another, aud vent ing their spleen promiscuonsly. Finally they- Um-adveat ot new ones, unite to sender the went into town and formed on the northwest side of tbe square, when the order was given to dismoui.t and bitch their tmeses, which they did, and then fell in, forming a body of 150 or 200 men. As the leading wagon came to tbis point it stopped, for tbie purpose of allowing the band to get out. as they were at that place to take the back for tbe railroad. Asifihe bond was finishing a lane which it was playing when the wagon stopped, the cursing and abuse were continued, and the RbdifcfitiMhrshal' rode out and' oitiered the flag to be lowered, and about tbe time they bad alighted and got clear of tbe wagon tbe Radicals commenced to throw stones and brickbats, which was vigorously replied to by the Democrats as soon as they could gel out and procure the means of doing so. Af ter this had gone on for a few minutes the Radicals commenced firing into tbe wagons, in which were men, .women and children. The entire Radical party of the town seemed to have been prepared for the occasion, as shots.'were fired from tbe houses, from the court bouse, &Dd from the places of business. One Radical admitted that he stood in the door of bis grocery and emptied his revolver of‘sfi Bhbta. The fight lasted but a short time, as the wagons got out of the wav as soon as it was possible to do so, and the Radicals followed them but a short distance from the place. ^ pf the wagons bear plentiful marks of .s 'and stones, and quite a numhei of people were injured during tbe fight. . “This was evidently a premeditated affair, as citizens living in the vicinity have for some. .]ime received warnings that the meet- ‘ng was to be brpkec up, and when they went into the meeting were told they bad better leave as quick possible. At night a meeting was held in tbe town, and from appearances tbe Radicals placed themselves on a “war footing,’’ and had “pickets” out that night and the next day—whether they have yet been taken in or not we are unwilling to say. They now propose to appoint a police fords or “home guard” of twenty-five, men, but for what purpose we are unable to say.

[From the Helenx (Montana) Republican, Ang. 2.] From reliable sources we learn the follow ing particulars of a tragedy which has re cently taken place beyond the range, and which would be Worthy Abe times of tbe Borgias. Some time in May last a man rep resenting himself to be a minister of the gos pel (we could not learn his name) stopped at an Irishman’s ranch, situated at Tobacco Plains, on the road from Pend d'GreUle Lake to tbe Kootenai mines. Here the reverend gentleman remained quite a long time, goon after be made his appearance, the Irishman was missed from tbe locality, but as bis place was in a remote portion of the country, and as mountaineers are proverbially of a ram bling disposition, hut little notice was taken of bis disappearance. In the meantime tbe quondam preacher stepped into the shoes of bis farmer host, became a veri table ranobero, and essayed to keep a public house, taking pains to Inform all inquiring friends of tbe previous proprietor that he bad bought out tbe Irishman, and that the latter had gone to the lower conntry. This seemed a plausible story, and was readily believed, until one day some friends of the missing man, who had been calling at the house, and were afterwards searching for. their horses, found human bones and. a com plete hand, upon which they distinguished freckle marks. After this horrible discovery they demanded an explanation from their late host, and were informed that the remains in question belonged to another jiyji«n thai, had been recently killed, and that be would born them. No sooner was tint conversation ended than the supposed ex-preacher com- menoed carrying his intention to destroy the remains into effect, but the r friends of the missing Irishman, mistrusting that all writ 1 not right, deterred him, and Commenced closely questioning him. When' finally driven to the wall, he made such confessions as proved him to be the most guilty wretch that ever disgraced God’s footetool by his presence. He had never bought the tranche, bnt had forged the bill of sate from his for mer landlord, and afterwards murdered him.
