Charleston, September 11.—A fall ac count la published ot the recent doings ot a band oi white rrgulatora 1b Fairfield coun ty, (bowing that their motive ia a determi nation to aboliab miscegenation. Laat J uly regulators composed of the very beat young men ol the county Tlaited a (arm near Rideway, where lived a white family named Boyler, one ol the daughter! living openly with a negro man. Two others kept s diarepntat.le honae (or negroes. Tbe regolatora whipped Boyles, bia wife ard two daughters, and warned them to leave the conntrv in ten days. Boyles begged to be allowed to oarvast bis crop, and on accountoi his poverty he was given leave to do so, but meantime, tbe original order being disobeyed, the regula tors gave the (amt.y Ot Boyles's brother a whit tling. Next the regulators visited a family between Ridgeway and Wiansboro, and whipped them badly. Lloyd Davis, who has a negro mlatreas, was next visited. He got away. Hla honaehold (ornitnre was badly broken up and bis colored fam ily warned to quit. Tom Davis, the rich est merchant in Ridgeway, reported to be worth $45,000, was given ten days to quit, became he had a negro mis tress and family. He left hia busi ness In the bands of his olerke and put out for Mississippi. Ross Will iams, living on tbe other elde of Ridge way with a negro wo lid. was visited aud showed fight bntwas severely whipped, as was hia mistress, and ordered to leave. About ten families, all mixed, have felt the power of tha regulators so far. Tbe ex cuse the regulators give is that the grand jury don’t take cognizance ot those living in open adultery, because it la ao hard to prove tbe existence of aneb fact. These people could not be reached by law, and ao it was determined to reach them outside of tbe law. The chief offenders, whether warned or not, are dissolving tbrir estab lishmants and feavlng. and the fear of ex- 4>osuro and pnniahment prevails.

His address wan devoted ia tbe main, however, to repiylr g to certain por tions of Senator Sherman's speech at HamiltonupontheSjnthernqnestlon. The speaker said he waa flattered by the atten tion of Senator Sherman, as be stood head and shoulders above every other Republi can In Ohio. Yet he had no hesitation, although a tyro in politics, In taking np Iba glove, for If ever a man and bis argu ment were clearly and mlecbievonilv in the wrong, it was certainly true this case. Tbe speaker said tbe difference between a statesman and demagogue was that the former addressed bimseif to some wise and patriotic measure for the people, while in these times the latter directed himself to appealing to the baaert and meaner passions of the people, bate and enmity. Blowing (he embers of an old dlsDnts into a blare wl .boat any de finite proposition of change, but simply and solely for the purpose of aiding bis side in a partisan political canvass, and when, though he has been three or four times elected Senator, Sen ator Sherman on this occasion and in tbls field was playing tbe part o( a demagogue. Tbe speaker declared that Sherman, knowing that hie re-election to tbe Henete and possibly bia candidacy (or the Presi dency depended npon the vote of Ohio this fall, and knowing that the people ol Ohio werednring the war loyal and patri otic and opposed to the Southern Confederacy, and were satisfied with the results ol war, sought to renew the battle fever, that he mlrht reap tbe re ward in emoluments and salary. Tbe speaker reminded tbe Senator that his party bad been in power 25 years, and II there ware wrongs at tha Sooth why bad not h'a party righted them? More than 10 years had elapsed since a majority of the Sonthera States threw the shackles off which the Republican party tried to pnt on them and became Democrats. "Kioe yeers have elapsed," said the speaker, ‘ since yonr de facto President, R. B Hayes, contrived tbe scheme of sending a commission to Louisiana to settle a dis puted question as to who was elected Gov ernor ot that 8-ate. Tha result was a sub mission to <aov. Nichols, wbo received a few more votes than Tilden and Hea dricks, while hla antagonist Packard, bad more voter than Hayes. Nine years have elapsed since toe last Southern State be came 'Irce from tho tyranny of Moees, of Warmoutb, of Packard, of Bollock, of Brownlow, of Pease, of Powell Clayton, 11 id omne genut. Yon bed the Senate and you had the House, and tf there was any Injustice to be reme died why it was not dons? Tee answer ia easy. There is no snob wrong; tnrre are no each (acts. Eight million bales ot cot ton prodneel by working men in theSontb, toth black and white, is a fact which ont- wflgbs yonr pretenses. II Boutbera labor waa disorganized and Sonthera laborers nnder tyranny, this magnificent r- salt wontd not have been achieved. Yonr whole argument it based npon tho claim that when the hi seks ceased to be chattel ■lavea, they at once became the (laves of the Rf-pnl.itcan party, and m-st thereafter vote at Its ' ■" **“ meat. The speaker said some ot the colored people didn’t vote tbe Republican ticket, and pertorce they were prevented by force and fraud. Tola presumption was unins- tained by proof, and waa utterly antral. The truth had been foreseen by Governor Andrew, one of tbe truest friends Ihe slaves of America ever had, when he de clared that the colored race recognized tbe whites as thrlr beat friends and wontd vote with them unless prevented by external force. Toe speaker said three years ago the Republicans tried to make an isms with Copiah and Danville. But Hamburg and Liza Pinkerton, Danville and Copiah have fizzled and petered ont, said the speaker, leaving only the want of enough ballot boxsa ln Savannah as tbs sole rrraainlog grist of the once noisy ontrsgs mill. Governor Hoa lly said Senator Sherman had threatened to redact the representa tion of the colored people of theSontb. This coaid not be done, as the fifteenth amendment bad made tbe fonrteenth amendment inoperative.

They comprise Liberals, Whigs, Moderates end Radicals, and the men forming each class are gradually getting In a record pledging themselvee to all manner of political cru dities.

It baa accordlntly been decided to hold a conference of the recog nized of leaders of all factions in the Libe ral porty early in October, for the purpose ot attaining some general understanding. All efforts thus far made to induce Mr. Gladstone to make a pronouncement have failed. He will not even promise to ad dress the coming conference.

During the vi-lt of the Cxar the greatest precautions will he maintained to keep him safe trout evil designs which mav he enteral against him by the Nihilists. Ills atated that the Csar's morbidness concern ing Nihilism Is Increasing daily, and that as n resalt his miDd is almost unhinged with dread. He gives no credence at all to the persli'.ant omrtlons ot his police that nihilism ta crushed. Itts related that dur ing tbeiecent imperial conference at Krem- slt-r the Czar end Czarina had different eleeplng apartmc nt« set apart lor their use each night, and that they never occupied anv cf the rooms thus set apart for the n, bnt a-ed others, in order to avoid all pos- ■ibility of “located” by the enemies, whom tne Caar believes perpetually follow him.

A Few Items Picked up In the Secretary's Office. A list hat been procured of all the owners of Jersey cattle in Georgia, booth uaroflna, Ala bama, TennesAM and Florida, aud letters from many of them go to show that the display of Jersey! at the-fair will be the largest ever made. A special feature of tbe fair will be the ano- tlon sale a-d exchange ot Jenevs. There will ba over a hundred head o! cattle for tale and exchange. The Bute exhibit to be made throngh com eadorze It, and add to it the necessary ele-l ment to attract a majority ot the other ifactions. and thne start his parly with a united front In tbe coming contest. It ie even intimated thet Mr. Gladstone bet Ihe programme ready now; that beta engaged in the trek of training Chamberlain and Hartlngton up to It, and that the October conference will simply be a perfunctory afiair for tbe pnrpoee ot al lowing tbe hoetlle leaders on occasion to submit gracefully. The government le anxlona to reduce the first army corps to a peace footing. In order to save expense, bat Is unable to do ao In tbe absence of orders from Lord Randolph Churchill, Secretary of State for raiNCH roLiTtcs. In France tbe electoral contest has be come tame. The ardor with which the campaiin opened haa disappeared. The country la singularly quiet, and the polit ical oommlttera are Inactive. Tho various candidates appear to have already tired oi the straggle, and tbelr apeecbea are deliv ered listlessly and ore received without en- thasUim. Tbit dollness, following tho opening ol what was calculated to be one ot the most exciting political cam paigns ever bad in France, is attributed to tbe enervation prodneel by tbe prolonged preparations sor tbe contest. It li under stood that M. Gravy has changed hla mind about the presidency, and baa now pro fessed a willingness to continue In office. Amorc the eminent men named at hla trobable successors are Leon Say, M. de -’reydnet (the present minister of foreign affaire), it. Plonqnet (orssident ot the Chamber of Depaliu), M. Ferry (ex-pre mier) and M. Brtason, the present presi dent of the cabinet. It Is generally thought that if M. Orevy be not hla own successor. M. Brtason will have the bast chance of seenring the office. Russian ArrAtkt. The Russian government haa decided to transfer the administration of Its Black Sea ttaet from Nlcoleieff to Sebastopol. Tbe barber at the latter p'ace Is being muen enlarged and immense forte and other works ot defense are being constructed around Its approaches. Tlie Cxtr la also organizing a new lies!, to be stationed at Balaam, on tbe east coast of tbe Black Sea. This little town la bring rapidly tn- largtd, because of i>« strategic Importance re the central point of the Russian defense ■ of the east core', ol the Black Sea. This ac tion of the Cxar, In now restoring to Sebas topol the military andnavtlpristlgewhich It possessed before tbe Crimean war. Is re garded with misgivings ia certain British Indian quarters. Besides tnakirg the above mllltety changes In tbe Black 8ea, the Ruulau government fa erecting harracki lor the accommodttloq oi 30.000 troops at Roatoff, on tbe river Don, twenty- two miles above Ita outlet into the sea of Asov and on the line ol rail way from Moscow to tbeCancasns. These barracks and their accompanying defenses will connect tbe military works id the Can- earns with Iboee in Central Rants. Tbe Crimea ie etao bring atrengthensd by tbe erection ol a number oi new modern bat terieaat Ksrtlch and Taganrog. The Utter place is situated opposite tbe mouth ot the Don, and on the north shore of the Sea of Azov, and the former stands tn tbe strait of Zemkile, which connects the Sea o!

Many stirring Incidents attend the ex pulsion of Russian Poles from Prussia, now bring ruthlessly enforced nnder the orders ot Bismarck. The police who ere engaged in this work ol expulsion recently came across a well-to-do Polish gentleman, Be Belozkl Zsmozkl. He owned much de- sirsole land In l’osen, and lived with his family In a beautiful chateau in France mnch of his time. He was ordered losettte np hta affairs and quit Posen. He demur red and then set up a claim to being a French subject, and succeeded in having hta appeal placed before M. de Freycinet, the French minister for foreign affilrs. In bia appeal M.Zsmozskl established the fact that he was born in Paris and was a French subject. He had, however, be come so Identified with the place of bu es tates tn Poaen thattbe French government declined to formally Interfere in the case, end M. de l-’reycinet contented himself with Informally referring the case to the German government as one worthy of con sideration. The result has been that the Praia an authorities have notlfiel Zamox akl that he may retain hla Interests in Ger many npon condition of natural / r ng him self as a Prussian anbj-ct aud residing on Ills.estates in Posen. So many terrible In justices have been perpetrated npon wor thy Poise by the Indiscriminate expulsion which has been carried on against tbe whole rare of Rturian exiles resident in Pnuaia that portions oi the Uerman press have at last been altered up to proteal egalnst the whole business. Tne Berliner Lambatt denounces tha expnteion u utter- |ly opposed to modsr.i rtgnta and bospL ■pectora of fertlllxtra throughout tho titate are now hard at work getting up the materials. The honemen of tho State will have tho beat racera to be fouud. Tho racing feature of the fair will be unexceptlonablj floe.
