One other very noticeable thing in the

the fashion of a spreading tree, and on
these branches the track is laid Over

system of chains, which are worked by
steam engines, under ground. When it

When a passenger desires to get on or

is disconnected, and the car stopped
Steps from the sidewalk are to lead up
to the track. How the idea will work in

The death of Thaddeus Stevens will
strike the Southern people as the removal
of one of our most inveterate enemies.
XU de mortuis nisi bonum , is a motto
that almost precludes one speaking of
this persistent tyrant ; but the same
Power that has taken him away, seems
preparing the utter and speedy downfall
of the iniquitous system he devoted the
last remnants ot his acrid life to setting
in operation. In November, it will be
written of Mr. Stevens that his works do
follow him.
In the political world, all seems hope
ful for the resuscitation of constitutional
liberty. I have known, for some time
past, but one leading man here who
thought Grant would succeed, and, since
the tremendous victory in Kentucky,
even he concedes that the Butcher of the
Wilderness will never sit in the White
House. When thieves hill out, says the
proverb, honest men come by their own,
and the candidacy of this Grant has been
the occasion of so ventilating his military
career, as to show that he lost over six
men to Lee’s one, in the tremendous
campaign when the right of a people to
choose their own Government went down.
A strong impression in the North is that
Grant has had all he deserves, and many
thousand men will vote against him who,
were he not already in the ample pos
session of wealth and military rank, would
give him their suffrages. Should all
things work on till the election as they
are now doing, the defeat of Radicalism
will be absolutely appalling. God speed
the blessed day!
The South has but one duty—to stead
fastly remember that the State Govern
ments of '6a are her lawful State Gov
ernments, and that these Negro and
bayonet fungi at present afflicting her
under the name of Governments, are
absolutely null, void, and of no effect.
Not even in words, should such an idea
as their being other than the most un
mitigated scoundrel isms, be conceded.
iTess and people alike should always
allude to them as the bogus Governments,
the pretended Legislatures, the fraudu
lent Governors, Ac., Ac. There is not
a giain of legality in the whole dirty pot
of ’em.
Gne reason for so insisting on this, is
that, when Seymour is elected, the first
question will be: What is to be done
'Gth the South? And we must stand
h'rtn to say, let the State Governments
G 05 resume their interrupted functions.
Having overcome the disturbing cause,
we have only to go back to the point of
departure. This, the only safe and feasi
ble plan, plain, direct, just, and simple,
forbids any acquiescence in the legality
ot Negro Suffrage. That point must
" CV€/ ' bo conceded, for that point alone is
the Anng that, in this contest, concerns

Dalton, Ga., July 27, 1868.
Hon. Geo. 11. Pendleton , Cincinnati , 0:
Dear Sir —There is a very widespread
desire among our people to have you
speak to them on the great questions of
the day. We will get you a rousing
mass meeting_of our best citizens. lam
authorized by our Democratic Club to re
quest you to visit our county, and appoint
a day when you will address us in Dal
ton. You can do the cause good, ar \t
contribute to uniting the two sections, so
lung parted. We can assure you of a
hearty greeting. Trusting that you may
be able to.arrange to visit us,
I am, with high respect, your obedient
servant, I. W. Avery.
Cincinnati, August 5, 1868.
I. IP. Avery , Esq., Dalton , Ga.:
My Dear Sir—l have received your
note of the 27th of July, asking me to ap
point a time at which I can address the
people of Georgia, in your city. My ab
sence from home prevented an earlier
reply.
My engagements in the Northwestern
States will keep me constantly occupied,
1 tear, until after our State elections,
which will be in October. 1 cannot now
promise what I will be able to do after
that time. It it is within my power-no
thing would give me greater pleasure
than to visit the State of Georgia. There
are certain family and social ties which
connect me with that State, which I would
he very glad to renew. I have at heart,
most earnestly, the reunion of all sec
tions of the country. The Northwest
and the South, by geographical posi
tion, and by the laws of trade, which
depend upon circumstances not to be
controlled by men, have an identity
and unity of interest which it is the
duty ot all good men, and especially
of all public men, to cultivate. I should
be glad, in an humble way, to con
tribute to this result, and shall feel it
my pleasure, not less than my duty,
whenever it is possible to contribute to
this end.
I am very much gratified at the very
friendly terms in which you have given
your invitation, and am,
Y r ery truly, yours,
Geo H. Pendleton.

“Carpet Baggers.”— By this expres
sive title the people of the Southern
States designate the tramping and prowl
ing Yankees that have gone down into
those States to tarry for a season. The
lorce of the term is well appreciated
where its use originated. But it seems
as if New Englanders, of all opinions,
are not competent to understand it. The
Tribune , of Monday last, has an elabo
rate article to prove, first, that emigra
tion from one State to another is all
right; and, next, to show that there is no
real difference in rights, or in claims, be
tween the man who emigrates with a
carpet bag, and the one that goes with
sundry heavy trunks and boxes.
It is altogether to miss the point to
consider the carpet bagger as contempti
ble because of the poverty of his outfit.
That is not it. In no part of these States
lias honest poverty been more respected,
or treated with more political good-will,
than in the South. Besides, the greedy
carpet-bagger may have a hundred thou
sand dollars in his bag.
The “carpet-bag” is taken as the con
tradictory, not of wealth, but of perma
nence. It is the badge of the fellow that
is here to-day, and away to-morrow. It
marks the man that has no fixed or abid
ing interest in the place he stops at.
It is this floating character of the
carpet-baggers that arouses the distrust,
and provokes the contempt of the South
ern people, who, as lauded occupants, are
not much given to migration. « They like
to know a man, before seeing him busy
himself with public or political affairs.

Release of a Political Prisoner.—
John Ryan, carpenter, ofNenagb, was re
leased from Kilmainham Prison, on
Wednesday, the 22d ult., after an im
prisonment of fourteen months. Mr. Ryan
pleaded guilty to a charge of having en
deavored to induce some soldiers to join
the Fenian Brotherhood, for which he
was sentenced to twelve months’ impris
onment, with hard labor, after having
been in custody for two months. He is
a fine, strong, intelligent-looking young
man, but his health lias suffered in conse
quence of his lengthened imprisonment.
There are four political prisoners still in
Kilmainham. O’Connell, of Cork, and
Webster, of Bolton, both retained in cus
tody under the Suspension Act, and two
young men named Tompkins and Craven,
both ot Dublin, both convicted of having
taken part in the Tallaght rising.
Out Late.
BY A. E. WATSON.
l.
“Your coming in last night, my dear, was late;
A hundred times I heard the garden gate
Swing on its hinges, and eaeh time I thought,
Now Robert’s gone—l’ll open th’ door for Kate;
Perhaps she’ll tell me something I should hear—
Some sweet intelligence that Robert brought;
But Kate, mayhap, ‘twas only for your ear?
n.
“But you were out so very late, my dear,
I could not wait until you did appear;
I heard low voices, mingled with perfume,
Float through the window, but I could not hear
A word that was said; but somehow, I knew
Or thoughl I knew, a rose would be in bloom
Ere the moon went down upon the glittering dew.
m.
‘I thought, perhaps, this morning you would spoak,
And tell me something; and you looked so meek;
When you came down to breakfast, and I saw
A bran new rose-blush on your happy cheek;
Theu I was certain something had been said—
Something that had the wondrous power to draw
Blood from your heart to cheek. You’re very red.”
IV.
“No, mother, really ’twas not very late;
True Robert kept me at the garden gate
Till the moon dropped down close to the burning
West;
But I was not dreaming that you ehoosed to wait
Until my coming in, or I had bid
Robert be gone, else he disturbed your rest,
Nor wait to see that poppy lift its lid.
V.
“Nothing was said, I’m sure, you might not hear,
And will not hear—some day. We saw a tear
Rest on on a tulip’s eyelid; saw the Bear
Climb out above Arcturus to his throne,
And, by a flre-fly-lamp’s impulsive glows,
A ripe red poppy burst its tender cone.
VI.
* ‘And, mother, before he left, Rob. bade me say—
(Do see bow red our rose is grown to-day;
And ten new buds peep out their pinkish tips,
To kiss the glist’ning drops of dew that lay
Iu the soft beauty of this morning’s hour,
Like kisses on a baby’s rosy lips;)
He’d come to-day and ask you for a flower.”
FOREIGN NEWS,
We fear that these bloody-minded rebels
of the South are going to Kn-Klux the
Emperor of the French. From the fol
lowing paragraph one is led to believe
that a band of the Ku-Klux Ivlans must
be in possession of the capital of that
Empire :
For the last day or two it was reported
that certain seditious placards were found
posted up during the night in the fau
bourgs, and were torn down in the morn
ing by the police. I have met with no
body who has seen those placards on the
walls; but the Pays publishes one which
its editor asserts he received in a sealed
envelop by the regular post. The docu
ment strongly resembles one of those
things which are composed for the pur
pose of mystifying, and it is couched in
so wild, incoherent, and exaggerated a
strain as certainly to suggest doubts of
its genuineness. It reminds one, too, of
the “infernal machine” discovered by a
zealous functionary in a Southern Depart
ment during a tour of the President of
the Republic, but which was so clumsily
put together as to excite derision. The
name of some unknown person was given
as the author; a diligent search was made
for him, but lie succeeded in baffling all
his pursuers, and has never since been
heard of.— Paris Correspondence Lon
don Times.
A Scandinavian Union. —Letters from
North Schleswig state that the betrothal
of the daughter of Charles XV. of Swe
den, the Princess Louisa, to the Prince
Royal of Denmark, must be considered
an occurrence of great political impor
tance. For some time past this event
has been anticipated, as flattering to the
amour propre of the Court of Denmark,
and congenial to the aspirations of that
of Sweden. King Charles having no
male successors, the crowns of the three
Northern Kingdoms may be one day
united oil the heads of the young couple.
To hasten that consummation, the ques
tion may even now be mooted of the renun
ciations which the people of Denmark
will doubtless be disposed to obtain
cither by good will or foree. The tender
ago of the Princess will unquestionably
retard the marriage for some time ; but
when gt has taken place, ulterior move
ments to establish the Scandinavian union
may b,e confidently expected.— Siecle.
A Sale of Girls near Calcutta.— The
India Daily News publishes a transla
tion of a letter which appeared in the
Shome Prabash, “one of the leading
native newspapers.” The letter is dated
May 25, and the writer signs “ Unmar
ried.” The writer says : “ Desirous of
viewing the beauty of the Bazaar of Man
ickgunge, situate within the Birdwan
Zilla, I was facing the narrow path between
the rows of booths. Observing a crowd
in one spot, I asked a gentlemen, ‘ Sir,
what is that row about ?’ He answered,
‘ There are little girls being sold.’ I
said, ‘ You are playing jests. Are you
not aware that this is the English Gov
ernment ? On this he replied, ‘ What,
sir; do you not know that there is per
mission tor the sale of young girls in he
Bazaar ? If you do not believe me, mea
sure a lew steps forward, and all your
doubts will disappear.’ I reached the
place and perceived a cluster of girls
from two to thirteen years of age, brought
there lor sale. I found some brokers
walking to and fro, and summoning the
customers. To obtain the girls every
one at first supplicated them. If they
can settle a bargain, they generally get
ten per cent, as their commission, and
over and above that at times some offer
ings. Having seen some customers clus
ter round a girl of thirteen, I went to the
spot. I found all of them lost in silence
and amazement. After hearing the boast
ful, high-toned words of the seller, struck
with the exquisite beauty of the girl, I
at once took it into my head to ask about
the price, when an old man whispered
an offer of Rs. 750 to the broker. Then
I inquired the price ot a handsome girl
about fourteen years of age. But her
master was sitting* coolly by, fixing her
price at 450, and the broker said that
many had bidden 350, but still he had
not consented. I also saw the exchange
of daughters in another part of the
Bazaar. Those who were concerned in it
did not take much trouble, for a bargain
was soon struck, but by that some party
or other must be the loser. Mr. Editor,
turn the attention of the Government offi
cials to this matter.”
An Italian Criminal.— An extraordi
nary series of crimes have just been com
mitted at Verona by a man named Bez
zatti, aged 63. He had been recently
dismissed from some employment under
the municipality, and a prosecution was
commenced against him for embezzlement
of property belonging to the city. A
few days back, armed with a pitchfork,
he entered a case in which the Mayor
was seated, and attacked him on the
instant, inflicting several dangerous
; o then went out, and meeting
two persons, named Brescani and Frans
cescaini, killed the former and grievously
injured the latter; he next entered an
other case, and assailing the Municipal
Assessor, M. Fassesti, mortally wounded
him, and inflicted serious injuries on two
other persons named Sagliaferri and Anti.
He was at length secured, and placed in
confinement.

Insurrection in India. —Two hun
dred thousand men of the hardy hill
tribes are up in arms against English
rule in India.
Very few details have yet arrived, but
these tew are ominous in their nature.
Another “little war,” as the London
pr ess terms it, Ins manifestly begun ;
and the Duke of Wellington looked upon
“little wars” as the most disastrous kind
of warfare possible.
Millions were expended on the Abys
sinian campaign ; millions were cast after
millions, and all because of the effect it
would cause, and the prestige it would
give to British rule in India.
And now two hundred thousand hill
men—two hundred thousand of the
hardiest and most obstinate of the tribes
have raised the Flag of Revolt, amongst
their almost inaccessible hills, at Jeon
gururjh. “Casta spark amongst tinder,”
exclaims a London paper, “and the flame
will spread.” The whole neighborhood
is up in arms, and the English complain
they cannot get more rlian five years’
rest at a time.
The English garrisons about were, in
comparison, miserably small, counting but
a few hundreds, mostly, too, of native
troops. Mounted messengers are hurry
mg to and fro— telegrams are flashing
along* too humming wires.
‘‘ Mor « ‘"ops from ' Madras”—the
Madras Government is up and alive to
the peril. "More troops from England”
—that is evidently the cry, also. °
From Gravesend the St. Lawrence
has gone with a number of men and
officeis on board; others, we may be
sure, shall follow in greater numbers.
For Russia is hovering over the borders
of India, and it is of life and death
necessity to prove to Russia that this
Revolt can be put down—more especially
if Russia is stirring it up. Does Russia
instigate it ?
The immediate cause is. said to be
something in connection with taxation ;
the hill-tribes object to it with the un
adorned eloquence of 200,000 armed
men!
The Celt in Mourning.— Following
still the example of our great prototypes,
the Nation and the Irishman, we pre
sent our readers with the Celt draped in
mourning for its Editor and for the Rev.
Father Larkin, who are still in jail. Much
has been said and written about the
Dublin trials—about Mr. Sullivan and
Mr. Pigott—but we think the most re
markable feature in connection with
Irish national awakenings in these
modern times is the fact, that, at the
uttermost limits of the earth, at the very
antipodes of Ireland, a Catholic Priest
and an Irish Editor are here, in Hokitika,
in the remotest Island of the Globe, un
dergoing a sentence of imprisonment for
the old, the very old, cause of Irish
nationality. It is a remarkable event in
the history of this Southern Hemisphere
—an event, which, when Ireland shall
have won its own, will be remembered in
history as one not the least extraordinary
in connection with the universal awaken
ing of Irish nationality. —New Zealand
Celt.
Trial for Cannibalism.— There has
been trial for cannibalism in Algeria
with a curious result. The counsel for
the prisoner, in defending his client, read
a letter from Marshal M’Mahon to the
Archbishop of Algiers, in which the Gov
ernor General pronounced an opinion,
greatly controverted, it will be remem
bered, by the Bishop, that all the cases of
anthropophagy which had occurred in
the colony were attributable to certain
circumstances which generated mental
aberration. “My client, therefore,” said
the counsel, “ is mad, on the authority of
the Duke ot Magenta.” The jury adopted
an argument coming from such high au
thority, and acquitted the man-eater.
Mission at Roscrea. —No misison could
exceed jn success that of the Holy Fathers
at Roscrea. Their sacred influences uot
being confined to the Parish, as at Nenagh.
Roscrea is thronged from a radius of
twilvc miles around; and yet the greatest
order prevails among the multitudes.
The devotional silence preserved by the
passing and repassing crowds iu the
streets, to and from the house of God,
strikes the casual spectator with sur
prise. The poor peasant, meditating on
the Divine mysteries of his Holy Reli
gion, feels a joyful elevation of soul un
known to throned monarchs. Our brother
Protestants look on with amazement at
such an unusual but edifying spectacle ;
they praise, but they cannot comprehend
the marvelous change. Those who pray
much will have much to give thanks for.

—A correspondent informs us that, on
Sabbath evening last (the 19th ult.,) the
Orangemen of Coal Island, Killy man,
Stoughan, and Newmills, assembled near
the last named place, and burned Mr.
Gladstone in effigy. The effigy was got

prevailing color being green ; and, hav
ing been placed on a low wall, was shot
at, and afterwards burned, amid great
groaning.— Northern Whig.
Tiie Case of Mr. Richard Pigott.
—The following paragraph appears in
the Keening Post , Thursday :
A memorial has been forwarded to the
Earl of Mayo, praying the release of
Mr. Richard Pigott, ot the Irishman
newspaper. Mr. Pigott’s father is now
in a precarious state of health, and his
death is considered imminent. Dr. Lyons
has given a certificate to this effect, which
has been attached to the memorial. No
reply has as yet been received.
[lt is too true that Mr. Pigott’s father,
depressed by the imprisonment and ex
ceptional treatment of his son, has fallen
into so critical a state as to cause his
medical adviser to express his alarm in
sadly emphatic terms. But no memorial
has proceeded from Mr. Pigott, nor from
any member of his family.]— lrishman.
