GREELEY AT PORTLAND.
Horace Greeley has been making a
tour in Xev,-'England, which has been
a perfect oration. At almost- every
station, crowds were gathered, to meet
the train, and everywhere the greatest;
enthusiasm prevailed. Of course he
was frequently called out to speak ;
his longest speech was made in Port
land. As it contains matter of inter
est to all we make some extracts.
He stated that ho person had as yet
sought office at his hands, because. of-
having supported him at either Cin
cinnati or Baltimore. Nor had any

It seems a very hard thing for Grant
to do an honest act, A short time ago,
Gerritt Smith, one of the old-time
abolitionists, called the attention of
the President to the Eu-klu-t in the
one suggested to him tftat lie might prisoners, and doings Whatever whs of Dalton.

the claims of- these
after those of the more moderate and
retiring shall have been fully satis

r Said he : *‘In two or tiiree insbinces
I liave-been asked to say whether I
would or would not;if elected,.confine
my-appointmeufcs to Republicans.- I
answer"these by pointing to the plank
iu the Cincinnati jdatfonh, wherein all
who concur in the. principles there’in
volved are invited' to participate; in

evCTy--honest man. who approves and

brother, and as-snch fnlly- entitled^ to
my confidence and.friendiy regard.”.
He had been asked what" pledge he
had given to those who had been hos
tile to the Union, to secure their suj)-
port. His reply was :
No man or woman in all the South
ever-asked of me, either directly or
through -another,, any .other pledge
than is given in all my acts arid words
from the time of Lee’s surrender to
this moment.”
He insists- that complete amnesty
and general oblivion of the bloody,
hateful past, would do more for the
suppression and utter extinction of
such outrages, than all the, force bills
mid suspensions of ; habeas .corpus ever
devised by, man. Wrong and crime
must be suppressed and punished, but
far wiser and nobler is the legislation—
the policy by which they are prevent
ed.
The speaker proceeds tlm3 : ‘Prom
those who support me in the South, ;I
have heard but one demand—justice ;
but one desire—reconciliation. They
wish, to be heartily reunited and at
peace.with"the North, and on any
terms .which do not involve the snr-
render of their manhood. They, ask
that they should be regarded and treat
ed bv any Federal authority as citi
zens, not culprits, so long as they obey
and uphold evefy law consistent with
equality and rights They desiii a role
ahke for white and black, wMch shall
encourage, industry and thrift, and
they discourage rapacity and villainy.
They cherisli a joyfnl hope, iri.wliidfe l
.fully concur, that between the 5th of
November.and the 4th of March, next,
quite a Dumber of Governors arid other
dignitaries, who, in tlie. absiu'd name
of Republicanftm.and loyalty, have-
for years been.piling debts arid takes
ripbn war-wasted Rtafes, will follow
tile? wholesome example 6f 'Bnllock, of
Georgia, and seek the shades of pri

shrides the. better for themselves and
for inankirid.” . •
This is his conclusion : “Fellow cit-

An r honest, tratMol investigation of
the condition of the prisoners, wdiild
have revealed the viDainons means by
which their prosecution arid convic
tion were obtained! This wonld have
shown the-corruption of Grant’s offi
cials, and his? connivance at that cor
ruption. “Being a candidate for re-
election, of course nothing derogatoiy
-to him innft lm revealed.: So he -ap
points to. visitrthe prisOpers- one AYhite-
ly, of the delective service, a man
whoseriame is synonymous' with vil-

man who worked up the Ashburn ease,
by which a number of young men in
Columbus, Ga,, were dragged from
their-homes and - tried for murder; Of.
course riothing was accomplished by
his mission to the prison, except to
publish pretended confessions wMch
vindicated the officers who tried and
sentenced ' the prisoners—and which
indirectly vindicated Grant’s policy.—
The President never intended to favor
the prisoners—his sole design was to
appear considerate, and thus win' pop
ular favor. Rotten to the core !

As an instance of the tyranny, exerted
over colored Conservatives by their
Radical brethren, and of the teriible
risk they incur if they attempt to: vote
independently, I give the following :
At Clif teris Mills, Franklin-county, on
the day-of the election, Hal Young, ;a
man of color and a Conservative ever-
since the war, -exercised liis right as a
freeman by-voting, for the Conserva
tive ticket, As soon as heliad depos
ited Ms ticket, and before time 'was
given him. to leave the polls, Tom Spi
vey; another colored man-, took a pitch
fork and killed him where lie stood.
The murderer was arrested upon the
spot, rind is now in Louisbnrg jail.
-No ; quarrel had taken place, but. the
foul deed was perpetrated to gratify
that-ba&ed which seems to lurk in the
hfearftrof -: some -of 'the'-colored race-
against those of their own. color who
dare vote independently and for the
persons of their choice. It is to be.
hoped that this -mtoderer'will, meet a
merited doorq at the hands of “the ex-,'
ecutioner; but Caldwell will probably
pardon him-. '

man can go half -way to the bad -with
out there being ten chances to one
that he will go all the way before he

corruptly to ^ratify his own desires

His administration is the cormptest
ever known in this country, the worst
that everdisgraced a so-called republic'
His civil service is a sham and a shame,
a mockeiy and a misnomer, a degrada
tion, if not removed by Greeley, will
lead to national despair and death, It
is an administration tracked, all over
with the slime of nepotism, and per
sonal favoritism, thieving and robbery
of the public treasury. It is a dis

What says the County Executive Com- CIRCULARS,
mittee ?
. Great boasting ismade by the Grant-
ites over the election in North - CarolL
ria. They need not congratulate them--
stdves too cordially. They used thou
sands ;of dollars, sent the candidate
for Yice President and two cabinet of
ficers to stump the State, and yet won
their victory by ouly about a thousand
votes. In the last election the Radi
cals swept the State bjf a majority of
nineteen thousand 1 A loss of eight
een thonsand Votes should not be made
the subject of much rejoicing. With
the same proportion of . gain for the
next three months, Greeley will carry
the State with suck a rush as will toko
the Rads’ breath away.

fair occurred last week, near Geneva,
in Talbot county." A young man named
Goolsby, drew-Ms pistol to shoot Ms
brother-in-Liw, Angiu, who had come
to the house of Mrs. Goolsby, his

the pistol away from him, arid in the
struggle it was discharged, and the-
ball entered her forehead. In a few
hours she (lied. Her son, filled with
agony at the unfortunate accident, went
off into the woods and” has not been

he had killed himself, bnt no traces of

The State Radictil Convention
Met in Atlanta, on the 21.st inst. All
the counties in the State were repre-
senfced : —except sixty-four, i Dawson A.
Walker, a man of little ability and less
integrity, was nominated for Governor.
Isaac H. Anderson, of. Houston, was
appointed on the business committee,
and Andrew' S. Giles on the committee
to appoint electors* J. .R. Griffin was
appointed elector for, this .district, and
L- H. Anderson member of the State
Executive Committee.
The Convention resolved, that the
Legislature-had' “demonstrated its un
fitness for its high trust, and should
be superseded by a body of more wis
dom, justice and moderation.” . Of
course-all of these qualities belong to
the Radicals.
' Houston was represented by L H.

The “Straight” Convention yester
day disappointed others if it did. not.
its friends. Our reporter Counted 57
delegates from 23 counties out. oE 137,
and the bulk of those were from Ful
ton and Cobb. We have not read of
ten counties appointing- delegates, arid
we have looked the State papers close
ly. A resolution was passed to allow
unrepresented counties to pickhip del
egates.
In all courtesy to the gentlemen en
gaged a flatter, tamer affiir co ild not
have happened. The proceedings are
reported in another cohnnu. On ; of
the delegates appointed to L •uisville
was ai>pointed without autu- >rity, aud
his name has been withdrawn.
The above we get from- the Arlunta
Constitution. -The convention- de
clared its choice to beCliarlas O'Conor,
of New York, for President an-.l J.
Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, for Vice
President Not a single prominent
man was present Looking on the
whole affair as-best • we m ay. we are
constrained to exclaim with the poet—

Bloody Affray.
From a piivate letter received by a
gentleman of, this place, we get the
following facts concerning a bloody
fight, in Sandersville, last Friday
the p.arties-were Ed atfd Sanford North-
ington and Jack Weddou on one side,
and a young man named Collins, chi
the other. Collins and Ed Northing-
tori had Mid a private difficulty some
time previous to tMs, and agreed to
settle it on the streets by shooting—a
quasi duel. They met on the day
named, when the two NortMngtons
and Weddori all fired on.Collins. Col
lins advanced on them wMfe return
ing the fire; he was not touched,
though eleven shots were fired at him.
He fired five times, shattteririg S.
NartMngton’s hand; arid two shots
took effect on Ed,-—-one of which,
the physicians think, will be fatal—
Neither parfy intends to resort to legal
measures to settle the matter.

il.ad, ihey “sorrow not as those who mourn
without a hope,” Mrs. Moore was a na
tive of Macon county. She was a member
of no church, bnt her education had be n
deeply religions : her principles reverently
pi ins, her life exemplary. Daring her brief
illness, her only expressed desire for a con
tinuance of life, was to enable her boldly
to proclaim her devotion to the Savior, bv
attashing herself to the church. She had
been married but a few months. Their
wedded life had been one short draught of
joy. (t'er it the hand of death cast the
first shadow. Cut down in thespring tims
of life, the calamity is for those she leaves
behind. The sweep of the relentless scythe
leaves an aching void in her home, more
keen, more bitter, because the flower reaped
was so young, so bright, so loved. Tho,
the golden threads, love, virtue and friend
ship, which bound her to, life, have b-en
severed in twain by the inexorable fates:
still they will linger in our memory, and
co3 around her the halo of her glories.
Modest and retiring in disposition; she
happily blended learning without ostenta
tion, piety without pretension. Singnlnrly
refined and elegant in her manners ; ehasie
and instructive in discourse ; warm hearted
and generous to her Mends, die wou the
love; ami admiration of all who knew her.
In character, she was as pure as the bean-
ful snow ; her sentiments refined and ele
vated , her disposition generous to a fault;
her principles brave arid true, secured to
her a host of loving friends. A dutiful
daughter, an affectionate aster, a true
friend and aloving, devoted wife, she lived
an angelic adornment of the domestic sad
social circle:
Having known her from childhood, .hap
py to have been esteemed her friend, I ten
der my warmest condolence to her be
reaved family, her desolate husband ; sor
row with their sorrow, mourn with their
grief Bat our grief should be chastened
by the rimseiribran.ee, that those whom God
loveth best, He' gathereth first onto his
fold M.
