AAlial Radicals ®one for
the Soittn*
Prom a gpeeob mada by Genet il
Hampton at a public msetiug io New
York during the recent Convention we
extract the following .•
I will will only etate a few facta, for
it ie a thing upon which I dare not
speak. In the legislature of South
Carolina, composed of a 156 members
—of that Legislature from whose halls
used to go as high intellect as ever
came to the halls of Congress--of those
one hundred and fifty-aix members there
are nearly, if not quite, now, one hue d
red negroes. [Hisses, and cries of
‘Shame.’] From these negroes, and
all of that Legislature, the whole taxes
that they are liable to pay amount to
seven hundred dollars. [‘Oh, oh,’ and
laughs.] Os that] about five hund red
dollars have been paid by one of the
Conservative members, and the two
hundred dollars that are to be paid by
negroes and carpet-baggers, half of it is
under execution. [Appiouse and laugh
ter.] Well, that Legitlature, compos
ed in that way, has the right to a impoee
a levy or tax on South Carolina to the
amount of 810,250,000. [Applause.]
Now, gentlemen, if that state of tbiogs
goes on, what will be the result? Why,
you know it means that in a few years
from this time there will not be a white
man, woman, or child in the State of
South Carolina. [Criee of-Shame.’] —
I only mention that as one of the South
ern States. It is true that it is perhaps
in a worse condition than most of the
others, but they are all afflicted by that
fearful calamity that is hanging over us,
and we can have no relief unless the
Democratic party will oome out aDd
pledge itself that we shall have a fair
election ; that the whito people of the
South shall vole. I want you
all to register an oath that when
they do vote that their vote shall be
counted, and if there is a majority of
white votes that you will place Sey
mour and Blair in the White House in
spite of all the bayonets that shall be
brought against them. We only want
to see the election fair. If they do that
and even with the incubus of black
rule, we can carry the South, at least.
Applause.]
Gentlemen, (as I Said,) I do not like
to tou-h upon those themes. [Cries of
“Good, good.”] I only proposed to
come here to make my acknowledge-
ments to you. I come to tell you that
these Dominations which you have made
will meet with the hearty concu reuce
of the Southern men. I wanted to tell
you how grateful, how gratified we
heve been at the reception that you
have given us. I wanted to tell you
that though we fought in good faith,
we laid down our arms in good faith.—
[Great applause. I wanted you to be
lieves that we were men of honor, and
that while we meant war when wc said
war, when we said peace we meant
peace, not that peace which the Radi
cals would give us [‘no no,’] not that
peace which crushes to earth ten of
these States ; not that peace which pla
ces the ignorant negro over us; but the
peace in all our households, peace thro
all our land ; that peace which the great
Democratic party has sworn to-day at
Tammany Hall we shall have.
[A voice—“We will do it,”]
[Another voice—“ You are our white
brothers.”]
I appeal, gentlemen, to that senti
ment. I appeal in the name of race.—
I appeal to you by our common tradi
tions in the past. I appeal to your
memory of that time when South Car -
olina sent her soldiers to fight here and
at Boston. I appeal to you by the
memories of the revolution. J appeal
to you by all the past, by every hope of
the future, to stand together and give
us deliverance, and to give success to
these nominations of the men whom
you have made your standard-bearers
to-day. [Applause.] Now, gentlemen,
in the name of the Southern States—
in the name of South Carolina —in my
own name—l thaDk you for the courte
sies you have extended to ns since we
have been here. I thank you for the
reception, and assure you that I shall
take back to my people nothing but
the most grateful memories of your
kindness. [Applause.]
While the boat was lying at
Cincinnati, just ready to start for Lou
isville, there was a young man came on
board, leading a blushing young dfm
sei by the hand, and approaching the
clerk, in a suppressed voice ; “I say,’*
he exclaimed, “me and my wife have
just got married, and I’m looking for
accomodation.’’ “Looking for a birth ?’
hastily inquired the clerk—passing
tickets out to another passenger. “A
birth ? thunder aud lightning no !’ gasp
ed the young man. “We ain’t but
just got married ! we want a place to
slay all night, you know and—a bed.’
Something Ab '*t Women.
The Art of Ai Vtioo,
TH* MADDENING UNCONh CWU9 WOMAN.
There is a certain like kind of aiTec
tion very common among pretty woneu ;
and this is the affection of not knowing
t.hut they are pretty, and not recogniz
ing the effect of their beauty on men.—
Tah e a woman with bewildering eyes,
s ,y < of a maddening size and shape,
and ft inged with long lashes that dis
tract y7H to l°°k at; the creature
knows t/»»t her eyes arc bewildering, as
well as a be knows that fire burns and
iua melts ; s he knows the effect of that
trick she hx * wi'h them—the sudden
uplifting of tC« heavy lid,and the swift,
full gaze that she gives right into a
man’s eyes. Bhe has practiced it often
in the gla6B anu knows to a mathemat
ic U niceity the oxact bight to which
the*lid must be ra/sed and, tbs exact
fixi- y of the gaze*. She knows the
who le meaning of the look, and * the
gtirii gos men’s blood that it creates j
but it you speak to ber of the effect of
her tri, tk, she puts on an air of tbo ex
tremest innocence, and protests ber en
tire igut 'ranee as to anything ter eyes
may say. or mean ; and if you press
her hard ibe will look at you in the
same way i or her own benefit and s deny
at the very moment of offense. Vari
ous other tr. cka has she with bewilder
ing eyes of here—each move perilous
•than the other to men’s peace ; and all
unsparingly ci aployed, no matter what,
the result. IV r this is the womau who
flirts to her exti'cme limits, then sud
denly draws up and says she meant
nothing. Step by ttep she has led you
on, with looks a id smiles, and pretty
doubt ul phrases susceptible of two
meanings, the one for the ear by the
mere word, the ot her for the heart by
the occompaniment sos look aud - man
ner which are intan gable ; step by step
6be has drawn you i ’eeper and tjgcper
into the maze where she has gone before
as your decoy ; when fcbe has you safe
she raises her eyes for the last time,
complains that y< u ha re mistaken her
cruelly, and 6hat she las meant noth
more than any ont else might mean ;
and what can she do to repair her mis
take ? Love you ? marry you ? No;
she is engaged toy mr rival, who counts
bis thousands to y our hundreds; and
and what a pity yon had not seen this
all along, and that »-ou should have so
misunderstood her; besides, what is
there about ber tbal you or any one
should love ? Os al I the many rffecta
tions of women, this iffectation of their
own harmlrs.-ness w.i sn beautiful, and
of tbeir innocence of • esign when they
practice tbeir arts so the discomfiture
of men, is the most cUogerous and the
most disastrous
But wbat can one say to them ? The
very fact that they are dangous disarms
a man’s anger nnd b>id as I ts perception
until too late Men love though they suf
fer in woman’s triumph, guilt and con
donation ; so 10-.ig the trick succeeds it
will be practiced. Another affectation of
the same family is the extreme fiiend
liness and familiarity which some wo
ment adopt in their manners toward
men. Young girls affect an almost ma
ternal tone to boys of their own ago, or
a year or so older; and they too, when
their elders remonstrate, declare they
mean nothing, and how bard it is
they may not be natural- This form
of affectation, one begun, continues
throughout life, being two conveniet to
be lightly discarded; and youthful ma
trons not long out out of their teens as
sume a tone and way that would about
befit middle age counseling giddy
youth, and that might by chance be
dangerous even then if the “Indian
summer” was specially bright and
warm.
THE DRAWLING WOMAN, ETC.
Then there is the affectation pure and
simple, which is the mere affectation of
manner, such as is shown in the drawl
iog voice, tbe mincing gait, the extreme
gracefulness of attitude, that by con
sciousness ceases to be grace, and the
thousand little minauderiet and coquet
ries of tbe sex known to us alt And
there is the affectation which people
of a higher social sphere show when
they condescend to those of low estatet
and talk and look as if they were no,
quite certain of their company, and
scarcely knew if they were Christian or
heathen, savage or civilized. And there
is the affectation of the matternnl pa ~
sion which woman wha are never by
any chance seen with their children,
but who speak of then - , as if they were
never out of tbeir sight; the affeocta
tion of wifery adoration with weman
who are to be met about the world with
every mao of tbeir acquaintance rather
than with tbeir lawful husbands : tbe
affectation of life in women who lead a
thoroughly self enjoying life from eod
to end ; and the affectation of political
fervor in those who would never give
up a ball or anew dress to save Europe
jrom a uoiversal revolution. Go where
we will, affectation of being something
she is not, meets us in woman like u
game hen that cannot lay, or a mist
that we cannot sweep away In the
holiest and most (rival things alike, we
find it penetrating everywhere—even in
church and at her prayers, the pretty
penitent, rising from ber lengthy orison
lifts ber eyes and looks about her fur
tively to see who has noticed her self
abasement, and to whom ber pictur
esqa piety has commeuded itself. All
sorts and patti ros girls and pleas
ant women arc very mar and delight
ful ; but the pearl of great price is the
thoroughly natural and uuaffeoted wo
man—that is, the woman who is truth
ful to the core, and who would us little
condescend to act a pretense as she
would dare to tell a lie.
FrauU Blair’* Platform Letter
Washington, June 30.
Col Jas O £ road head :
DteAR Colonel —ln reply to your in
quiries, I beg leave to soy that I leave
to you to determine, on consultation
with my friends from Missouri, whfcth
er my name shall be presented to the
Democratic Convention, and '<J suln it
the follov ing, as what I wmsider the
real and only issue in this o n'est.
The recons'ruction policy of the RaJ
icals will ce complete before the next
election ; the Stales, so long excluded,
will have been admitted, negro suffrage
established, and the carpet baggers
installed in their seats in both branches
of Congress. There is no possibility of
changing the political character of the
SeDute even if the Democrats should
elect their Presidents, and a majority
of the popular branch of Congress
We cannot, therefore, undo the Radi
cal plan of reconstruction by Congres
sional action The Senate will contin
ue a bar to its repeal. Must we sub
mit to it ? How can it be overthrown?
It can only be overthrown by the au
thority of the Executive, who is sworn
to maintain the Cons itution, and who
will fail to do his duty if he allows the
Constitution to perish under a seriesof
Congressi nal enactments, which -are
in palpable violation of its luudumental
.principles.
If the President elected by the Dem
ocracy enforces, or permits others to
enforce, these Reconstruction acts, the
Radicals, by the accession of twenty
spurious Senators and fifty Represen
tatives, will control both branches of
Congress, and his administration will
be as powerless as the present odo of
Mr. Johnson.
There is but ono way to re-tore the
Government and the Constitution, and
that is for the President elect to de
dare these acts null and void, compel
the army to undo its usurpation at the
South, disperse the carp.t-bag Stute
governments, allow the while people
to organize their own governments,
and elect Senators and Representa
tives The House of Representatives
will contain a majority if Democrats
from the North, elected by the wbi e
people of the South, and, with the co
operation of the President, it will not
be difficult to compel the Senate to
submit once more to the obligations of
(he Constitution. It will not be able to
withstand the pub'icjudgement, if dis
tinctly invoked and c’early expiessed,
on this fundamental issue, and it is the
sure wey to avoid all future strife to
put this issue plainly to the country
I repeat that this is the real and on
ly question which we should allow to
control ns. Shall we submit to the
usurpations by which the Government
has been overthrow o, or shall we exert
ourselves for its full ar.d complete res
toration ? It is idle to talk ol bonds,
greenbacks, gold, the public faith and
the public credit What can a Demo
ciatio President do in regard So any of
these, with a Congress in both branch
es controlled by the carpet-baggers
and their allies? He will be powerless
to stop the supplies by which idle ne
groes are organized into po itical clubs
—by which an army is mainiulned to
protect these vagabonds in their out
rages uj on the ballot.
Thtse, and tt ingslike these, eat up
the revenues and resources of he Gov
ernment, and destroy its credit, make
the difference between the gold and
greenbacks We must restore the
Constitution before we restore the fi
nances, and to do this we must have a
Prtsident who will exteu'e tbe will of
the people, by trampling into duet tho
usurpations of Congees.*, know n astne
Reconstruction Acts I wish to stand
before tbe Convention upon this issue,
but it is one that embraces eveiything
else that is of value iu its large and
comprehensive results. It is the one
thing that includes all that is worth a
contest, and without it, there is noth
ing that gives dgnity, honor or value
to the struggle.

The Syiii|Milliclic Woman.
If we were called upon to describe
Mrs. Dobbs we should, without hesita
tion, call her a sympu'hizing woman
Nobody was troubled with any malady
she hadn’t suffered. She knew all
about it by experience, and could sym
puthize with thorn from the bottom of
her heart.
Bob Turner was a wag nnd when
one >lay he suw Mrs. Dobbs coming
along the road towards his house, he
knew that io the absence of his wife,
be should be called upon to entertain
her, and he resolved to play a li tie on
the good woman’s abundant store of
sympathy.
Hastily procuring a large blanket,
he wrapped himself up iu it, nnd tLrow
himself on a sofa near by.
“Why, good graci' Us! Mr. Turner,
are you sick ?” asked Mrs. Dobbs ns
she saw his position
“Oh, dreadfully groaned the im
aginary invalid.
“\That’s the matter ?” inquired Mrs
Dobbs.
“Oh ! a great many things First
ands reni 'st, I’ve got a congestion of
the brain ’’
“That’s dreadful,” she sighed
“I came pretty near dying of it fen
years ago come next- spring. Wont
next."
“Dropsy,” groaned Bob.
“Tbeie I cun sympathize with you
I was troubled with it, but finally got
over it/’
“Neura'gia,” continued Bob.
“Noboby cud tell, Mr. Turner, what
I’ve suffer u d from Neuralgia. Its an
awful complaint.”
“Then, aga n, I am very much dis.
tressed by mflumution of the bowels,”
said he.
“If you’ve got that I pity you,”
commented Mrs. Dohbs; -‘for three
years S'eady I was afflicted with it;
and I don’t think I've fully recovered
yet ”
“Rheumatism.’’
“Yes, that’s p-etty likely lo go
along witn neural gia. It did with
me.”
• Toothache,” suggested B.ib.
“There have been times, Mr. Tur
ner when I thought I should have gone
distructed with the toothache,” said
she.
“Then,” said Bob, having tempora
ri'y run out of his stuck of medical
terms, resorted to u scientific name,
“I'm nfruid that I've got the tetbyusa
urus.”
“I shouldn't be at all surprised, but
what I had it when I was young,’
continued the ever-ready Mrs. Dobbs
Though it was with great difficulty
that be could resi.-t Bob con
tiuued.
“I am suffer'ng a great deal from n
sprained ankle.”
“J hen you can s vmpathize with me,
I sprained mine when i was com ng
along.”
‘ G, ye?, but that isn’t the worst of
it.”
“What is it ?” asked Mrs. Dobbs,
with curiosity.
“I wouldn’t tell any one but you,
Mrs. Dobbs but the fact is,” here he
groaned, “I’m alraid, and the doctor
agrees with me, that my reason is af
fected ; that, in short, I’m a little cra-
Bob took breath, and w ondered what
the sympathizing weman would say to
that.
“Oh, Mr. Turner, is it possible ?
l’ts horrible 1 I know it is. I fre
quently have spells of being out of my
head myself!” exclaimed the lady.
Bob could s’and it ro longer;-he
burst into a roar of laughter, which
Mrs. Dobbs taking for a precursor cf
a violent paroxysm of insanity, she was
lead to take a hurried leave.
Causes of Scdoen Death Very
f'W of the sudden deaths which are
said to ari6e from diseases of the heart
do really arise from that cause. To
ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, the experiment bas been tried
in Europe and reported to a scientifiic
congress held bt Strasbourg. Sixty
six cases of rudden death were made
the subject of a thorough po,t morti m
examination. In these cases only two
were found who had died from disease
of the heart. Nine out of sixty-six has
died from nppoflexy, while there were
forty-six cases of congestion of the
lungs—that is, the lungs were so full
ol blood they could not work, there
not being room enough f»»r a suffi ient
quantity of air to enter to support life
The causes that produce congestion
of the lungs are cold feet, tight cloth
ing, cos ive bowels, sitting still UDlil
chilled sf er being waimed wi h labor

“The sound cf your hammer,’
gays nranklio, “at five in the morning
cr at night, heard by a creditor, makes
him easier six months longer; but if he
tees you at the billiard table, or hears
your voice at a tavern when you should
be at work, he will scud tor his money

There must not be no “ifs” about it.

\V k WILL *o IT I Common sense,
common hones'yaod patriotism nave
nut all become extinct. If they have,
we must nppeal in the most solemn
manner to the interests nnd fenre of
the people Let things remain and go
on in tboir present tram four years lon
ger, and peace, prosperity anti happi
ness are gone for a lifetime. It is im
possible to avoid the honors of anarchy
and military despotism. The constitu
tion, the only character ol public liber
ty, is already trampled under foot—
justice dethroned in our courts—the
Execn ive reduced to imbocility, or
compelled to be the helpless tool of ar
rogant and usurping Congress— alike
unscrupulous, corrupt, insolent and
cruel.
This downward progress must bo
suddenly arrested, or a dreadful catas
trophe will follow, which shall inrolvo
every man and destroy all hrpe of re
pose—all change for peace and securi
ty. The people must be oronsed to
the awful danger and pressed by such
facts and arguments that even Radi
cal partisans shall tremble while they
rofuse the warning. The press and
the hustings must be put in most ac
tive operation. The facts must be dil
igently collected anJ disseminated in
every form. . ..
We, in the South, should adapt our
work to the peculiarities of our condi
tion. The press cannot do so much
directly, because half our voters can
not read, and of the other moiety very
few, we hope and trust, will be found
luithless to the cause of their country.
Buts ill we can encourage well direct
ed efforts for its rescue, am] carefully
oppose eveivthing which may preju
dice the cause iu their sections. Let
every Democratic editor have an espec
iul eye to this, and let us work on with
zeal, energy and entire confidence of
victory. —Macon Telegraph.
Conscience. — A young woman
was taken in charge In the Etrrets of
Chicago, the other day, who was labor
ing under the illusion that the spirit of
her dead husband was pursuing her,
a L( j demanding skeleton arms out
s retched, h r money Bhe had already
thrown SHOO at the feet of the appari
tion but it still pursued. The insanity
of the woman is the last sot of a trage
dy that occurred three years ago. At
that time shu was the pride cf an old
divorced man, woo at once doted upon
and was terribly jealous of ber. On*
evening he a-ked her Lr SSOO whioh
he had given her in a morront of ter
derr e?s. She tauntingly p plied that
she bad given it to her lovor. He de
manded the name of the man, threaten
ing to blow his own brains out if not
informed. She told him to blow away.
The next no ment be lay dead at het
feet, his brains scatteied over her night
drrss. Her guilty conscience now cun
jures up the old man continually haent
ing her and demanding bis money, as
on the fatal night.
Wheat Broad.
Wheat is, beyond all dispute the
most perfect article of human food, it
being tbe only vegetable production
yet discovered that contains all the ele
ments necessary for the nourishment of
the muscle, boers, fatty tissues and
brain in just the right proportions.—
Beans. Peas, Indian Corn sod other
er grains afford perfect nourishment
for all tbe organs bnt the brain, in
which term is included the spinal mar
row and tbe nerves, which branch from
tbe brain, and are identical in composi
tion with it, tbe whole formirg one sys
tem or set of organs. Now the pablu*
lum of the braiß is phosphorus, whose
life giving fire thrills aloDg the nerves,
and whose light i'lumina’es the cham
bers of the mind —for, oould we right
ly understand the correspondencies be
tween the material and spiiitua l . Wo
might see tbe light in the intelleotual
sense was someihiog more than a mere
figure of speech. Tbe wear cf the
brain by stuly or any mental effert
throws (ff the phosphorus which is found
with other was'e matter in urine or oth
er sections. To keep tbe braia healthy
and iu a working or ler iho waste must
be restored by the use of food contain
ing phorpborus, and that food is wheat.
D would f-erm as if wheat was made for
brain ficd, *atd msn, the only animal
'hat wt:rks with bis brain, is the only
consumer of it. B it, by a a range ca
price, tl e promptings of his intuition
are overruled ly his Ustes, aDd, in this
particular instance to lis great detii
rnent—nearly every particle of this
brain nuuri-hing phosphorus is found
in the hull of tho wheat which, when
separated from the Hour, for the sake
of merely gratifying the eye with the
sight of wheat bread, carries with it all
the snperiirity which wheat possesses
over a dc ten other kinds cf cheaper
vegetables.
