Notwithstanding tho heavy pres

far as numbers are concerned, tho
weight of evidence against it is equal
ly as groat. Gov. Lindsay, of Ala

speaks of it as follows:
Tho details of his evidence has not
yet been made public, but it is known
that be gavo an unqualified denial to
tho reports of political outrages and
organized resistance to the law in Al

sources of information available to
him, that .said Stato has not been so
quiet, orderly and peaceful in twenty

of freo education has beon provided,

Democracy in Pennsylvania.
At tho lato Democratic State Con
vention in Pennsylvania, ‘departures’
were agreed upon that appoar to be
odious to tho truo Democracy, and tho
action of that body lias been openly
repudiated by tho Chostor county
Democrats and others all over tho
State. Tho Democratic Watchman , an
able and influential Democratic jour
nal published iu Centre county, is in
dignant at tho action of tho Conven
tion, and speaks as follow :
Wo can never accept the “Fifteenth
Amendment ” and tho illegal and uncon
stitutional legislation that has followed
it as the act of a constitutional ap
pointed authority, in tho face of tho
fact that the niggers and scalawags,
who obtained their scats in Congress
by force and fraud, woro allowed to
participate in such legislation. Tho
Fifteenth Amendment was forced up
on the people by the hand of power,
aud was never ratified by tho (States
in tho constitutional way. Hence, wo
cannot accept it, and tee say that it should
and of rigid ought to bo repealed. And
we hold that it will be the duty of the
Democracy to repeal it whenever they get
the power to do so. If we thought they
Would not do so at tho proper time,
our faitli in the integrity aud purijy
of our party would bo greatly shaken.
No issue is dead or can ever be dead
that involves a principle. Hence, we
cannot agree to forget the past and
overlook all tho goue-by iniquity aud
treachery of Kadiealism.
TEXAS liU-KLUX,
On his return from Texas, Old man
Greeley delivered an address to some
New York society. Tho following
morccau w ill bo interesting, no doubt*
to 6omo of the brethren in this lati
tude.
Well, gentleman, tho thieving car
pet-baggers arc a mournful fact; they
do exist there, and I havo seen them.
[Laughter.] They aro fellows who
crawled down South in tho track of
our armies, generally a very safe dis
tance in tho rear; some of them on
sutlers’ wagons ; some bearing cotton
permits; some of them looking sharply
to see what may turn up ; and they re
remain there. They at once ingratia
ted themselves with the blacks, sim
ple, credulous, ignorant men, very
glad to welcome and to follow any
whites who professed to bo tho cham
pions of their rights Some of those
got elected Senators, others Represen
tatives, 6omo Sheriffs, some Judges,
and so on. And' there they stand,
right in the public eye, stealing and
plundering, many of them with both
arms around negroes and their hands
in their rear pockets, seeing if they
cannot pick a paltry dollar out of them;
and tho public looks at thorn, does not
regard tho honest Northern men, hut
falls every “carpet-bagger” a thief,
which is not tho truth by a good deal.
15ut those fellows—many of them long
faced, and with cyos rolled up, are
greatly concerned for tho education of
the blacks, and for the salvation of
their souls. (Great laughter.) “Let
us pray,” they say. But (they spell
pray with an “c,” and, thus spelled,
they obey the apostolic injunction to
“prey without ceasing ” .
The first meeting house in Wheel

vote was taken by the town for the
purpose of selling off the pews. The
record of it reads as follows : “Voted

Second, As tho appropriate finale
of tho exorcises ol that occasion, there
will no a musical entertainment, at tho
Paptist Church, on tho eyeing of Juno

of a rendering of Bradbury's splendid
and impressive Cantata, ‘’Esther, the
Beautiful Queen.” This entertain
ment is prepared by Air. Seals, tho el

Airs. Hampton, who presides over tho
musical department, with the aid of
seine select talent from the ladies and
gentlemen of Cuthbort aud tho College
music class. Tho piece will be ren
dered in character, and Queen Esther,
King Ahasuorus and Mordccai, as well
as Hainan, with tho various Maids of
of Honor, &c., &c., will bring vividly
to tho mind ail tho transactions of the
beautiful and pathetic Scripture nara

The man at the White ISeiac.
Who is this man that sits in the
Presidential Chair arrayed in tho offi
cial robes once worn by Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, and their illustri
ous successors ? What species of man
is this creature—this mimicking creat
ure of imitation—that struts with im
perial authority over a froe 'people '?—
who lias turuod tlm Presidential man
sion anil tho office ho holds into a gift
entorpriso whereby bis favors aro
bought and sold liko merchandize up
on tho market—where
‘‘To Bt*U ami mart his offices for gold.
To uudescrycrs.*’
Who is this man whoso nepotic ambi
tion constrains him to bostow nearly
all of his patronage upon his relations
rather than upon men of merit ?
It Is Ulysses Simpson Grant, not
distinguished by a singlo virtue or en
dowment that goes to mako up a great
man ; but a mere creature of circum
stances, notorious for a murderous or
der of tactics in war which made him
conspicuous because he finally suc
ceeded in defeating a depleted army
of Confederates when his own army
numbered ten to one against his an
tagonists.
This is tho man, Ulysses Simpson
Grant, intellectually a dolt —a heavy,
stupid fellow ; a blockhead, a num
skull, an ignoramus, a dunce, a dul
ard, an ass !—in the lion’s skin. A
man who can no inoro converse upon
political questions than upon things
unseen; a man, a President, wo hate
to say it, who can neither givo his
views orally or on paper ; who requires
a mouth-piece to entertain his compa
ny, and to answer questions dirocted
to tho Presidential head; who watches
every facial motion of his man, Bab
cock, when queries are aimed at tho
heap of tho nation, to seo that tho
mouili-pioco is ready to answer in his
stead—ready to perform his duty as
tho Presidential sponsor who is unable
to answer for himself. This is the
man at the White House !
This man at the White House, with
tho flattened brain, the dull, lazy, im
perturbable temperament, can only bo
aroused, his eyes will only glisten with
anything like intellectual expression,
at the mention of a horse or a dog !
Upon no other subject than these two
animals is ho at all intelligent. To
discuss those, animates and lightens
up the dull and gloomy expression of
his monotonous countenance when
naught else will.
This is tho man at the White House
who has had conferred upon him, by
a servile partisan Congress, powers
that, ten years ago, could have only
boon claimed by a King or an Empe
ror.—Lagrange Reporter.
A Singular Staged)'.
A singular story comes from Wash
ington county, Kunsas. A man nam
ed Hammond was arousod by his wife
the other night with the cry that there
were wolves about tho house. Half
asleep ho graspod his gun and excited
ly ran out, and wont on a keen run
for about half a mile boforo bo stop
ped at tho sight of a wolf. Ho raised
his gun to tako aim, when ho found
his gun had been discharged. On re
turning to tlio house he found his wife
a corpse, and his four children about
her bleeding body. As tho husband
rushed out of the door tho lock or the
trigger of tho gun had caught on the
jam and was discharged, the contents
lodging in tho breast of tho unfortun
ate woman. Tho singular part of the
affair is that Hammond did not hear
the report of the gun nor fool its con
cussion. This was his statement, at
least, and tho coroner’s jury believed
him, as ho was aequited of all blame
in tho matter.— Ex.
A \ icksburg man set a spring gun
in his chicken house, which succcss
lully brought down his wife for tho
first victim

Ff<m the 1 Atlanta Sun, irthlmt.
Since tho “Announcement” of Mr
Speights on tho 25th instant, it is
propel’ for mo to state to the patrons
ol' tho Sun that, in consenting, ns ono
of the proprietors, to take charge of
tho Political Department of this pa
per, my object is to mako it a true or
gan of tho Jeffersonian principles of
the Federal Government under which
tho Peoples of tho United States lived
in so groat peace, prosperity aud hap
piness for more than half a century.
Tho object will ho to advocate such
doctrines as will secuto a perpetual
and harmonious union of tho States
under tho Constitution, in tho spirit
and for tho purposes for which it was
originally made by the fathers, and
upon the principles announced by
Jefferson, maintained by Madison and
sot forth by General Jackson in lii.s
“uuthorizad” explanation of tho prin
ciples of his Proclamation on tho Nul
lification movement in South Caro ina
ia 1832, and iu his Farewell Address
Upon those principles, and thoso
announced by (lon. Washington —1.0
who was “first in war, first in peace,
and first in tho hearts of his country
men” —tho Sun will stand. Its posi
tion will he, that the government of
'tho United States is a “Confederated”
or “Federal liepublic,” formed by tho
States, possessing in itself no inherent
Sovereignty ; but that all its sovereign
Powers—which aro specific and lim
ited—aro held entirely by delegation
from tho several States, and that tho
States are absolutely Sovereign in tho
exorcise of all reserved or undelegatod
Powers.
Xho S'jn, under my general control
of its political courso, will continue to
stand upon the principles of tho plat
form of the Democratic party of tho
Union, as announced inthoirlast gen
eral Convention at Now York, in 18(58.
A chief object will bo to show by
calm and argumentative appeals to
tho good senso and patriotism of tho
truo friends of tho Constitution, North
as well as South, that any departure
from tho essential principles of that
platform will bo exceedingly danger
ous, if net fatal, to tho liberties of tho
whole country.
Tho groat “living issuo” now bo
foro tho Peoples of the United States,
is botwoon Consolidation, Centralism
and Empire on tho ono side, and tho
sacred sovereign right of local self
government by the Peoples of thoso
several States on tho other; or, in
other words : Tho groat question now
is, whether the peoples ol thoso States
are to livo under a government of laws
or a government of bayonets. This is
tho great practical, absorbing, “living
issuo” at this time.
With regard to tho past usurpations
and revolutionary measures of Con
gress since the restoration of tho Un
ion in 1805, by the resumption #f their
obligations to tho Union under the
Constitution, by all tho States which
had attempted to withdraw from it,
and for wkioh alone the war was pro
fessed to bo waged iu opposition to
this attempt, The Sun will advocate
and eujuin strict obedionce to ail acts
of Congress and acts of State Legis
latures under thorn which have the
form of law as expounded by tho
courts, State and Federal, and im
posed by those in authority clothed
with power to exoeuto them.
Constitutional Liberty is the off
spring of Eeason—not of physical foreo.
Tho rectification of all political
wrongs and usurpations under our
system of Government, should bo
sought through tho instrumentalities
of the Constitution—through tho peace
ful operation of tho ballot—the Legis
lative, Judicial, and the Executive De
partments of tho Government.
But no poople devoted to Constitu
tional law, need ever expect to secure
a rectification of admitted ursurpations
of power by accepting them as accom
plished facts, aud granting, in advauco
a complete absolution to the perpetra
tors ot them. Tho position of tho .Sun
towards all usurpations by Congress,
will bo tho same as that of Mr, Jeffer
son towards tho “Alien and Sedition”
acts. This is quite enough for tho
present.
It is proper, howovor, to add for
general information, that It is not my
intention to change my present resi
dence. There is no prospect of my
evor being able physically to do so,
even if I were inclined. All com
munications therefore to mo connected
with my engagement with tho Sun, I
must bo addressed to mo at this placo. i

Cotton Crop or 1871. —The Her
ald, speaking of the last Bureau lie
port, says its estimate is that the grow
ing crop will not exceed throe and a
half million bales. Tho planters (says
that paper) found that a large crop
brings thorn no more, or but little more
than a short one, the price in tho mar
ket being regulated by tho .supply. We
cannot blame the planters for studying
their own interest in this matter, while
at tho samo timo wo may regret to see
cotton high and cotton goods dealer.
In this case tho loss to tho world seems
to boa gain to tho planters. Cheap
cotton is a great boon, undoubtedly, to
mankind as well as to manufacturers,
and wo hope tho timo will come when
the production of this article may ho
chi apencl by the use of machinery and
improved methods of cultivation.
1 hat is all very good, and when
the world discovers somo method of
picking cotton by machinery, pro
duction will bo almost illimitable.
But this will noed a sentient machine.
At present, however desirablo cheap
cotton may he, tho planters should not
undertake to produce it at their own
exponco. Last year they raised 4,200,-
000*hales of cotton for nothing—that
is to say, for not a cent over expcnccs ;
and the mere prospect of a short clop
has enabled speculators to make eigh
ty millions on it. Hereafter will net
planters try to mako a little money for
themselves by abandoning ovor-pro
durtion.— Mv.ioh Telegraph,

hindiglmiu, yesterday, while illustrat
ing to fellow-counsel in a murder caso
how a dead man might have shot him
self, accidentally discharged tho pistol,
wounding 1 imsolf in the bowels. At
two o’clock this morning ho was still
conscious, but in great pain, and in
ternal hemorrhage will probably en
sue. The physicians pronounce his
condition very serious. There seems
hardly a possibility of his recovery.
Lateh.— Mr. Vttllandigham is dead.
Commenting upon tho death of this
patriot, tho Savannah Republican says :
Tho death of Hon. Clement L. Yal
landigham, occur whan aud how it
may, is well calculated to create a pro
found impression among good men
throughout the country. It is shock
ing, though, to contemplate the event
as it reaches us over the telegraph,
suddenly, in the midst of active, use
ful life, and tho result of an accident.
Tho report says that in attempting to
prove iu a murder caso on trial at Leb
anon tlint tlm deceased could havo
come to his fleflth by his own hand,
the pistol used for tho purpose was
discharged by some accident, inflicting
a mortal wound upon Lis own person,
of which ho diod iu tiro course of a
few hours.
There aro many of Mr Vullaudig-
Uam’s countrymen who will receivo
those tidings with emotions of tho sin
corost sorrow. His prominence as a
statesman for several years when lie
represented a district of Ohio in the
Federal Congress, his unswerving de
votion to truth and right, tho manli
ness with which ho breasted tho fa
natical storm in his own section that
finally destroyed for a time tho gov
ernment itself aud deluged the wliolo
land in blood, liis opposition to a war
which cut tho throats of tho people of
one section to compel tho survivors to
livo iu political connection and against
their will with one another, his uncon
querable hostility to a government of
| force and to all tho dospotic and law
j loss schemes of the dominat party since
| tho war—all givo buy a claim to tho
j respect and admiration of every true
: friend of Eepublican liberty, aud
1 should mako liis namo aud memory
least to tho Southern peo
ple. lie was their friend under all
circumstances, even when it iuvolvod
a complete sacrifice of himself. The
South should never forgot such a man,
or coaso to strew immertelles upon liis
grave. Among tlio last acts of his
life, seeing her prostrations and polit
ical paralysis, he came forward with
a plan for striking the fetters from her
limbs and tho restoration of her friends,
and tho’friends of true constitutional
liberty, to power in tho government.
It may not bo approved in all its de
tails, but it sprung from an honest,
patriotic and friondly heart, and tho
motive will bo honored by all. The
leading idea, though, has already tak
en root iu the popular heart of the
North, aud we trust may yet work cut
grand results for tiis eomm-v decade-.

Eloracc Greeley and Jeff Davis
atMenipli|f.
Tho Memphis Avalanche, of tho sth
inst. gives tho following account of
tho mooting of these two distinguished
men in its city.
About twelve o’clock Hon. Jeff Da
vis called at tho Overton hotel, and
was ushured into tho presence of Mu
Groeloy, at whoso hands ho mot a
very cordial reception. The philosop
her and his visitor sat facing each oth
er in the centre of tho room, tho broad,
open and plain countenance of tho one
in strange contrast with tho wiry, ner
vous and somewhat delicate luce of
tho other. Mr. Davis was dignified
and somewhat formal in manner, while
Mr. Groely was frank, oasy and quite
talkative. There w r as searoly a refor
enco to the political situation. Mr.
Greeley enquired concerning tho
health of Mrs. Davis with much
warmth and earnostnoss, and referred
to tho high regard, he entertained for
that lady and tho family of which sho
came. Mr. Davis responded appro
priately and expressed tho gratitude
of himself and Mrs. Davis to tho phil
osopher for his kindly services soon af
ter tho war. This brought up Mr.
Davis’ interview' referred to above, on
which Mr Greeley seemed to dw'ell
with much pleasure In tho ccurso
of conv- r. ation Mr. Greeley again
spoke of tho Blairs, and especially of
I tho seniors of that distinguished fami
' ly, remarking en passant that Frank I’.
i Blair, Jr., and others of tho present
generation did not do justice to tho
old stock to whom he referred with
apparent deep fooling. Mr. Greeley
then passod on to subjects nearer
homo, and finally dwelt for soveral
minutes on the memory of Gen. Quit
man, of whom lie spoko as a warm
personal and political friend in times
gone by. Not a word was said on
either side, that our reporter could
overhear, concerning Mr. Davis con
dition and prospects. All through the
interview which lastod ton minutes,
Mr. Davi3 maintained a very reserved
demeanor, while on the other hand,
the face of tho philosopher was wreath
ed in kindness and smilos, with ooco
sionly a hearty laugh breaking tbo
stillness, it was a scone worth tbo
pencil of an artist, one that would
make a picture valuable now and in
future generations, llising at tho con
clusion of tho interview', Mr. Davis
withdrew with a stately bow, and in a
few minutes after Mr. Greeley w as en
route for tho railroad depot, where he
took tho 12:45 train for Louisville, ac
companied by Gen. Merritt, his friend
and traveling companion.

The iienth of Chti.-L
Tho theory that the death of Jesus
of Nazareth was produced by rupture
of tho heart adds immensely to tho
tragic character of tho event, if we
consider it merely as the death of a
human being, and rendors far more
vivid our conceptions of its sacrificial
nature, as being tho death of one
Aveighod doAvn Avith the woes of man
and the wrath of God, if wo viow it as
an expiatory offering. This theory
had been advanced, with some forco,
by a number of [divines, but it was re
served for William (Stroud, M. D., to
demonstrate it with as much of cer
tainty as tho nature of tho subjoct will
admit. A physician, thoroughly con
versant with the anatomy and physio
logy of tho human system, and a bib
lical student fully versed in the Sacred
Scriptures, ho brought to boar upon
the subject an accumulation of learn
ing and research, enforeod by an on
loss. .asm of conviction, au approoia
tiontef the far-reaching consequences
of the theory and a power of expres
sion, which havo b*en so applied as to
leave nothing to add by war of proof
and no room to ans Aver by Avay of ne
gation. “The Physical Cause op the
Death of Cueist” is, indeed, a rare
combination of medical and biblical
learning, and of thoological reasoning.
Well authenticated cases of doath from
excessive mental emotion aro quoted :
it is proved tliat this theory is the on
ly ono which accounts for tho flowing
of “blood and Avater” from tho sides ;
prophecies aro shown to have their
real fulfillment only on the assump
tion that this theory is truo; the insuf
ficiency of other theories to account
for tho speedy- decease of the Savior is
demonstrated, and the evont itself
cloarly explained. Then ayo have in
an appendix numerous cases of actual
exudation of blood through tho skin,
under severe mental emotion, to ex
plain “tho agony aud blood sweat” of
the garden, and the darkening of tho
sun and tho eclipse of the moon, which
is not uncommon in l’alostino, is shown
to account for “tho thick darkness”
which prevailed for three hours. The
relation of the theory to tho principles
and practices af Christianity is fully
and ably discussed.
A Parris letter says: “It is stated
that all the leading insurgents who

tho resolutions of the Montgomery
County (Ohio) Democratic Convention,
reported by yoursolf, together with
your remarks and thoso of Mr. HaAvk.
You havo rendered a great service to
your country and the party. At least,
such is my judgment. May God bless
you for if. Nothing can he truer than
your declaration tliut tho movement
contemplated by tho resolutions is tlio
restoration of tho Democratic party
to its ancient platform of progress and
reform. I know you too well to doubt
your courage or fidelity to your con
victions. Truly yourg,
B. I*. Chase.
