Friday Morning, June 5, 18B8.
A mnn named Smith, It is reported, was
tarred and feathered in Detnopolis last week
for having married n negro woman.

The Hon. Anson Burlingame, formerly U. S.
Minister to China, but now Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary from China
to the eleven great powers of Christendom,
with bis suit has arrived in New York. Among
those composing the Embassy are two high
Chinese officials of the second grade. The
Embassy will first make known its object to
ihe U. S. Government.
fjffTeterson’s Magazine for July is before.us.
This number, we see, begins the fifty-fourth
volume. Like old wine, “ Peterson ” gets bet
ter and better. It has now been published for
twenty-seven years, and its unrivalled circula
tion proves it tho most popular of the ladies
magazines. The present issue is one of the
best we have ever seen. A splendid steel en
graving, “ Undine and the Knight,” leads off;
then follows a mammoth colored steel fashion
plate, with five full length figures; and then
we have numerous wood-cuts of new bonnets,
capes, bodies, &c., &c., besides a score of pat
terns for the work-table; among them two
printed rn colors. The literary contents, as
usual, arc excellent. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens
continues her interesting novelet, “ The Bride
of the Prairie ;” while ‘‘ The Tragedy of Fau
quier” deepens in mystery and power. Frank
Lee Benedict has a charming story. But, in
point of fact, all the tales are superior. Now
is a good time to subscribe for “ Peterson.”—
Terms, $2 a year. To clubs, three copies for
$4 50, or five for $8, and iu this latter case, an
extra copy for a premium. Address Charles J.
Peterson, 800 Chestnut St., Philadelphia.
Sustain Home Enterprise.
The great fault, practiced in the past and at
the present, by the Southern people is the
failure to patronize home enterprises. No en
couragement has been extended to home tal
ents, while the silly stories of Northern and
European novelists have been eagerly read and
flatteringly paid for. The Southern mechanics
and manufacturers have have, and are now
forced to seek patrons in other lands than their
own, while foreign or Northern adventurers,
reared in the cradle of fanaticism, are nour
ished by Southern money. While we do not
insist upon the policy of total refusal to recog
nizing tho merit of other climes, still wc do
say that it is suicidal to patronize it to the ruin
of that which, though native, is equally de
serving. Southern Insurance companies, un
doubtedly solvent and reliable, are overlooked,
and policies sought and paid for in Northern
companies. The money expended in the one
would be retained in our midst, while that sent
to New York, Boston and other distant cities,
never returns. Why pursue this course ? Is
the greenbacks of the latter companies better
than those of the former? Do those who thus
act prefer witnessing Northern to Southern
prosperity ? Does the news of the rapid accu
mulation of wealth by Northern men afford
them more pleasure than the sight of a neigh
bor’s rise? Surely not. All of the wrong
doings and short-sighted actions of our people
are attributable to habit, and the absence of
reflection. Their fathers did these things, and
of course their sons follow their examples
without one moment’s thought of the evil or
impropriety of drifting on in the same old
channels.
The long and short of the matter is this—if
we of the South ever desire, expect or intend
to become prosperous, we must keep our money
at home. Millions made and millions sent
away leave us poor, while thousands made and
thousands retained will make us rich.
Grant’s Letter of Acceptance.
Democratic Interests.
The enemies of free government are very
busy in their efforts to select a Presidential
candidate for the Democracy. From their
writings one would be forced to the conclusion
that these active gentlemen were simply white
spies in the Radical camp, and were anxious to
inform their friends, the Democrats, of the
strong points of certain leading politicians in
our ranks.
Such deduct, to say the least of it, has an
appearance of impudence, especially when
these busy-bodies have not been called upon
to give advice. It is a prevailing opinion
among the members of the party of the Con
stitution that we are amply able to select our
candidates, whose principles satisfy us and
whom we intend to elect. Thus believing, and
intending to practice upon that belief, all the
labor of these advisers will be lost, and they
would render themselves less ridiculous by
selecting different persons into whose ears to
whisper their words of wisdom.
Horace Greely has manifested an astonishing
amount of interest in Mr. Pendleton’s nomi
nation. While we admit Mr. Pendleton’s po
litical soundness and ability as a statesman,
yet we do not recognize Greely’s right to speak
on this subject. Others again cannot under
stand why the Democracy will not nominate
Judge Chase. The Chief Justice, they say,
is an able man—was in the past a consistent
Republican—kissed, at one time all the negro
bailies in New Orleans, find performed a thou
sand other good deeds according to Radical
ethics. Still Mr. Chase will not support Grant,
and, therefore, ought to be nominated by the
Democracy. We wili state, for the inform ition
of the individuals so exercised for the Chief
Justice, that if the Democrats were to adopt
the rule of nominating every man who does
not intend voting for Grant, they would be
compelled to nominate an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people. Moreover, the
officious intermeddling of these partizans of
despotism will not lose or gain Gen. Hancock,
Mr. Pendleton or any other candidate a single
vote in the nominating convention. So much
for this branch of the subject.
The whole stock in trade of the Radicals
consists in highly colored and fabricated stories
of outrages perpetrated by the Southern whites
upon so called Southern loyalists. In nothing
else do they so much rejoice as in the recital of
distorted and Munchausen stories of the cruelty
of “rebels” and the heroic sufferings of the
“ patieut African.” Deprive this p irty of these
bloody accounts for one single month, and it
would die as naturally as a fish does out of
water. Now the burthen of every true man’s
prayer should be the death of American Radi
calism. To secure its rapid decline in strength
we must exercise an unusual amount of caution
and prudence during the coming campaign.—
While it is true we cannot do anything, say
anything, think anything, w'sh anything, or
pray anything that will totally silence their
lying tongues, still we can force them to resort
to lies, and only lies—yea, lies so black and
palpable that the God of Justice will finally
interfere in behalf of truth. Grant is their
candidate, and Grant is, in fact, the fountain
of all military authority ; and so anxious is he
for his election to the office of President that
he will grind us, oppress us and vex us with
his soldiers in every conceivable way to pro
voke this chivalric people, to the commission of
imprudent deeds, out of which he and his
minions hope to manufacture sufficient capital
to secure his election. On this point let us be
watchful; for it will be infinitely better to en
dure the wrongs of tyranny for a season than
indefinitely. The more we are wronged and
outraged the closer and more determinedly let
us cling to our principles and candidate. By
defeating Grant we will inaugurate better times,
and the despotic and illegal acts of the now
rulers can and will be investigated and the
perpetrators justly and righteously punished.
For the accomplishment of this great good we
should he willing to undergo anything and
everything short of the loss of honor and
character.

rejected, and the laborer goes unpaid. The
teacher, however, is the one for whom I would
say a word.
In the first place, is not the teacher essential
to the good of the community? Is he not
worthy of his hire? If he is, then he should
be supported by willing and generous patrons.
Like all other men he must be fed and clothed,
and if he is a teacher his whole time must be
devoted to the school. Thus he has no other
means of sustenance than the support of his
patrons. Still we see men who make no calcu
lation whatever to remunerate the mau who
labors hard from day to day to improve the
minds of his children. He is perfectly deaf to
the calls of necessity which may be made in
behalf of the teacher, and considers his little
claims upon him as worth but little, and do
not merit his attention. Whit shall we think
of such a man ? And at the close of the term,
instead of meeting at the Academy for the
purpose of settling for what their children
have received, they have to be looked up and
then bring up the frightful complaint that my

rapidly from triumph to triumph, while Graut,

man by the name of Rosenthal, wiio was d
Jew, and who was in the pork trade, and, of
course, would be glad to keep the trade in hi
own bands; so he determined, if possible, not
to give Grant much of a chance, and the first
two or three loads of pork were bid up far be
yond its real value, and finally sold to Grant.
By this time Rosenthal discovered that Grant
„ i knew no difference between the price of light
and heavy hogs, when, in reality, there is a dif
ference of at least one dollar per hundred—
heavy hogs being worth one dollar the most
—the hogs already purchased by Grant being
light, and be having paid the full price for
heavy hogs. So Rosenthal goes to his ware
house, selects out all his light hogs, enough to
load two or three wagons, gets some farmers
who had wood-racks on their wagons to load
on ihe hogs, drive out of town by another,
street, and come in on the main road to th
corner where they were buying. Roseutha' e
meets them there by another street, and com.

ding the pork up to the full value of heavy
pork, it was sold to Grant.

Relief. — By reference to the Washington
telegram of June 3d, published elsewHere, it
will be seen that the Senate Judiciary Commit- j ueurly was splitting with laughter to see how
tee proposes to-"knock all the vitality out of
the relief clause of the new Constitution (?) of
Georgia. We have from the beginning expect
ed such action on the part of Congress, and so
warned our readers. It any man Las suffered
himself to be deceived we are sorry for him.—
Even though Congress should retain rt, stiil it
would have to run tho gauntlet of the Courts.
The great Hiram Ulysses Simpson Grant has
written his letter accepting the nomination by
the Radical party for President—and what a
letter. So thoroughly skilled in Radicalism is
Grant that he seeks to deceive the reader by
declaring that “it seems proper that some
statement of views beyond the mere acceptance
of the nomination should be expressed.” This
declaration is a naked, bald deception, for vain
is the search for those expressed views. The
question of suffrage and the condition of the
Southern States, detailed mode and manner of
reducing the currency to a healthy standard,
• and the justice or injustice of paying a certain
class of United States bonds-in greenbacks, are
passed over in silence. In truth, every vital
issue of the canvass, in which the voters have
a direct and pressing interest, are untouched.
After a pernsal of the letter the reader feels
that the document is a failure, a deceptive, in
tentional failure to discuss with manliness and
vigor those questions agitating the American
mind. ToTaw resolutions adopted by the
Chicago Convention, Grant adds one plank,
and only one plank; and that one is desper
ately rotten, taken in connection with Radical
practices. Hear him: “A purely administra
tive officer (the President) should always be
left free to execute the will of tue people. I
have always respected that will and always
shall.” A beautiful doctrine coming from a
Radical. Respect the will of the people, in
deed! When did Grant or his party respect
the will of the Southern whites ? When they
placed them under military rule, deprived
them of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus,
exiled in manacles many of the good and true
to Dry Tortugas, that parched hill in the Mex
ican Gulf, by removing and imprisoning trust
ed officials, and the commission of other acts
of devilish oppression? Ah! how he jokes.—
Respect the will of the people! When? Where?
Why to-day despoiled, partitioned, prostrate
Poland feels the weight of the despotism of
European Sovereigns not so severely as do we
of the South that which Radicalism inaugura
ted and Grant sanctioned.
But we apprehend Grant meant to say he
respooted the will of the people, that is the
Radicals, Well, we believe he does respect
their will, and will respect it regardless of the
provisions of the Constitution. The doctrine
that the Federal Executive is bound to execute
tho bpReste pf party at the sacrifice of the
Constitution is monstrous, and merits the re-
bpke and condemnation of patriots. This is

Tiie Hepnblican Candidate for President.
If a backwoodsman should insist on using
an axe to cut his crop of grain, instead of a
sickle, because the axe had rendered good
service in felling tfie forest that stood upon
the same ground the preceding year, no one
would be apt to think well ot his judgment- in
the selection of a utensil. As we are not to
have a war, there is less fitness in the selec
tion of a general, than of a statesman, as a
candidate for President. Gen. Grant has been
nominated solely in consequence of his mili
tary reputation. Waiving, for the present, the
fundamental objection that the instrument is
not adapted to the proposed use, and that the
Presidency, during the next term, will afford
no scope for the exertion of military talents,
we challenge inquiry into the grounds of Gen,
Grant’s fame as a soldier. We suppose none
of his friends will seriously maintain that he
is entitled to be called a great general mere
ly because he has commanded great armies’
much less because he has exposed and lost in
battle great multitudes of men. His reputa
tion rests upon the fact that all his campaigns
have been successful. But success against
such adversaries as Pillow or Pemberton in
the West is no very signal proof of abilities,
unless they commanded greater forces; which
they did not. Gen. Lee was a more worthy
antagonist; but Gen. Lee was not conquered
by fighting him, but by exhausting bis resour
ces. He stood on the defensive for nearly a
year after Grant assumed command in the
East, although the Confederacy was e' en then,
Gov. Brown in German.—The Anzeiger des
Wes tens, a German paper of St. Louis, thus
j, speaks of Gov. Brown and his sorghum-sop
oration at Chicago:
“The third speaker of the day was the no
torious ex-rebel Governor Brown, of Georgia.
It was his province to show how, by one leap,
a ferocious rebel can jump into the csynp of the
Radicals, and be received by them as a brother.
The representative of the Radical and derna
gogic phraseology, the rigid Puritan, who ap
peals to the god of the Radicals, aud the Rebel
of yesterday, who to-day becomes the ally of
Radical despotism, are the natural complement
of each other. They are a trio representing
the different shades of Radicalism to perfection.
the Jew bad sold the Galena pork buyer; which
so disgusted Grant that he went home that
uight, and was never seen in Bellevue after.
And that transaction so embittered him against
the old tr-bes of Israel that I doubt whether it
could now be reconciled. And this is undoubt
edly the whole cause of the expulsion of Jews
from his camp.— Chicago Times.

Joseph Brown Abroad.—The infa
my which attaches to Joseph Brown in
Georgia, follows him wherever he goes.—
A few days since, says the Columbus Sun,
we copied a piece from a Chicago journal
annnouncing him as an object of ‘‘mingled
scorn and contempt,” even in that modern
Sodom. We bow take pleasure in pre
senting to our readers the following strik
ing and faithful pen photograph of him,
taken from a late number of the Louis
ville Courier. That journal says :
He is an illustrious specimen of that
unprincipled class of white meD in the
South, who, for the basest purposes and
for personal aggrandizement, united with
the carpet-baggers who poured down from
the North to get the control of the negro
element, and ride upon it into power.—
Cold, selfish, unscrupulous, and utterly
regardless of every interest not personal
to himself, he has pursued his shameless
course for the past three years, until he
finds himself in a National Convention ot
Washington, May 29, 1868.
Gen. Joseph R Hawley, President Na
tional Lilian Republican Convention:
In formally accept'ng the nomination
of the National Union Republican Con
vention of the 21st of May, it seems pro-
’ { per that some statement of views beyond
the mere acceptance of the nomination,
should he expressed. The proceedings
of the Convention was marked with wis
dom, moderation and patriotism, and I
believe express the feelings of the great
mass of those who sustained the country
through its recent trials. I endorse their
resolutions. If elected to the office of
President of the United States, it will be
my endeavor to administer all the laws
in good faith, with economy, and with a
view of giving peace, quiet and protec
tion everywhere. At times like the pre
sent it is impossible, or at least eminent
ly improper to lay down a policy to be ad
hered to, right or wrong. Though an ad-
ministratration of four years new political
issues not foreseen are constantly arising,
the view of the public on old ones are
constantly'changing, and a purely admin
istrative officer should always be left free
to execute the will of the people. I have
always respected that will, and always
shall. Peace and universal prosperity, its
sequence with economy of administration,
will lighten the burden of taxation, while
it constantly reduces tho national deht.
Let us have peace.
