Tl»e Vital Principle of Nation*.
A Junior Oration Delivered by A. H. Cox, of LaGrange,
Georgia, in t,ic University of Georgia, August 6th,
J/vdie* a nd Gentlemen:
Sumflmded by so many melancholy proofs of
n nation’s fall, it is natural we should think of
i lie opposite, “ The \ ital Principle of Nations.”
For contrast is a law of thought, never more
active than in circumstances like the present.
Is there, then, no internal principle of national
stability? Has God indeed instilled intoman’s
l,n ;l-i social and patriotic desires, caused him
to form governments only that they might an-
tagonize each other or destroy themselves?
C.iuld lie mean in His grandest creation that
nations should rise, flourish and fall with fixed
alternation V There must be some underlying
principle by which nations may live; some prin
ciple. it may lie, whose first rays now illume the
world, but increasing with each age, shall grow
to the perfect sun that heralds the perfect day
io mao, individually and nationally.
A physician studies a disease to find the rem
edy. Let us likewise look to those causes
v, inch have wrought the death of nations, and
deduce therefrom the principle of vigorous na
tional life.
Why did Home fall ? She rose to colossal
power. There the genius of art made her abode,
and was feasted tis a “Goddess” guest. Liberty
jKirched upon her standards and flaunted defi
ance to the “Barbarian” world. Conquest filled
her coffers to overflowing. But Home, beautiful
with the finest works of art, glutted with the
wealth of unlimited conquest, deserted the prin
ciples of her founders; made justice an “idle
jest ” made law an instrument in the hands of
one class to oppress the other, and was crushed
under the enormous weight of her own corrup
tion. Nor did she fall without timely warnings.
Loug had the mighty colossus tottered on its
base. Around the principles it represented an
illustrious Cato had thrown the guard of his
stern virtue, and a grander Cicero the power ol
his matchless eloquence. But neither the arm
of Cato nor the power of Cicero could steady the
reclining pyramid ; lor cliques of classes, dissen
sions between races, showing themselves in par
tial and sectional laws, too fatally accomplished
its overthrow; and the crash of its fall heralded
tlic world lo barbarism.
In vain did Athcncan Demosthenes warn bis
countrymen against this demon; in vain did he
assure them that sectional feuds were degreda-
tion and destruction to all; in vain did he expose
the devilish machinations of Philip’s emissaries,
and with prophetic eloquence depict the future
of his State, so full of sorrow, slavery and shame.
His warning’s were unheeded, his assurances
disregarded, his censures discredited, until at
last Ins predictions were verified. Philip’s em
issaries di<l stir up prejudices: sectional feuds
did rankle in the very vitals of the State; pre
judiced laws did enter their code, and in spite of
the glory of Athenean, Marathon and Plattea ;
in spite of all the thrilling associations that must
have inspired a Greek to battle a barbarian on
his soil, the light of Athenean power and glory
went: out; black night, the night of slavery, set
tled o’er her like a pall; and in that midnight
barbarians whom she had so olten scorned and
defeated, desecrated the shrines of her high gods,
and with ruthless bunds made ruin of her sacred
altars.
Poland, the land of Kosciusko, the poet’s
dream of the land of the brave; why, as valiant
and feared as she once was—why did she fall V
A voice came from the grave of her heroes; a
voice from her empty council chamber; in
ghostly whispers it tells the world that dissen
sion, shown through sectional law, is a foe to
lreedom—and the main cause of national ruin.
Kngland slew a Charles; a Cromwell grasped
the sceptre denied a royal hand. Both rulers
were untrue to themselves and country.—
Each represented a party; neither represented
the nation. Under Charles blood flowed like
water, and the resources of the State were taxed
to their utmost. Hum was impending. Under
< ,'romwell was found in essence the same state of
tilings. True, abrond England was feared as
never before ; true, at home no opposition could
he expressed. But there was a sword power;
and wherever you engralt a sword power on a
nation panting lor a people’s government, you
are sure to make it a two-edged sword, cutting
both ruled and ruler. Ruin was impending. A
mere accideut was her deliverer; Cromwell died.
I tell you had he lived, or his son had halt liis
ambition and ahilty, England, torn by intestine
convulsions, had gone down in the same grave
with Greece aud Home and Poland. As it was,
all parties united to welcome the exiled king to
his rightful power, while around that power
were thrown those checks which made law just
nliko to commoner aud cavalier. The result is,
we point to her as the embodiment of stability
iu government.
Why look further? If the rise and fall of na
tions exhibits one fact; if from all the facts thus
accumulated for ages we can deduce one princi
ple, that deduction is that sectional feeling and
feud culminating in laws to aid one party and
oppress the opposite is death; that the”vital
principle of nations is law—law prompt to exe
cute its penalties on all—law able to defend the
innocent ot all classes—law in its broad sense
enacted not lo the interest of one party or sec
lion, but for the welfare of the nation as a united
whole—law in all its wisdom, in all its justice,
with all its moderation.
(Jrcecc suggests—Home sustains—Poland con
vinces—England persundes—does it remain for
America to demonstrate that sectional animosity
and laws emanating therefrom determine na
tional ruin V Whence these convulsions? I’il
not assert them products of sectional jealousy !
An Emmett’s ghost might interfere! I’ll not
• all them offsprings of sectional injustice !
Justice these days assumes strange fantastic
shapes. But you all know that by some means
sectional laws did enter this nation’s code, and 1
do hold America the clinching proof of the
truth I would establish. But there is a vital
principle ! A system of government, founded
«m principles utterly subversive of order, security
and property, cannot, by any possibility, main
tain itselt for any length of time. It must cither
overthrow national freedom aud pave the way
to the government of the sword, or be itself
subverted by the aroused indignation of all the
better classes of mankind. If this injustice is
the offspring of a false principle, it can never
stand the test ot the world’s advancing reason
and increasing moral power concentrated on it
in one burning, blazing focus.
That which was founder! on mere prejudice,
mere folly, might, in the dark ages, fetter a true
principle; but that “focus” now glares upon
such actions to expose their villi&ny or deride
their folly. Now, then the opposite, if a nation
undazzled by the false glare of the revolutiona
ry meteor adheres strictly to the principles of
order and justice, that nation creates an insup
erable moral power to resist decay aud encroach
ment in its every phase. What is national
power ? Does it consist in extent ot territory
and number of inhabitants ? No! It consists
in the material only so far as it is made the in
strument of the immaterial. It consists in the
intelligent power within the people to make a
destiny a glorious destiny * and to wield that
destiny to their welfare aud the welfare of the
world.
It has been demonstrated over and over, that
if mere physical man overcomes mental man,
he but finds himself the victor vanquished. Just
as individuals take power, not by physical, but
by moral force, so nations couquer not by brute
muscle, but by the divine power of mau in liis
divinity. And this power is fast increasing.—
Once the naked sword and brawney arm were
atl sufficient Mere muscle won the day. Hero
ism was measured by feet and inches. But now,
utter the clash of physical arms has died away,
new battallions are ranged on the ethereal plains
ot mind. War in its last analysis is reduced to
reason. Mankind feels and demonst&tes it Why
this rush for education just alter our defeat"?
Why ? but that you intuitively reasoned the lack
of power in your arm was but the wautot ability
in your brain ?
National power is this eternal unconquerable
power within. And who, then, would sar the
true patriot is ever powerless, the true nation
ever conquered? What syren is it that would
lull us to inglorious ease, because physically de
feated? 'Tis a demon, a devil, that would snatch
your grandest power away, and then, ave then,
truly say, you are powerless. But no! fio man
ever yet was in that position when possessing
the faculties given by the God above us, lie could
statesmen a few—a very few—defenders of con
stitutional right, assertors of national truth, guar
dians ol national life, “lone stare” in national
glory—we may soon see, instead, all our states
men, all our commons, arm linked in arm, heart
linked in heart—all joined to hurl the demon of
sectional feud aud law to the nether hell from
which it sprung, and here raise on high once
more the standard of national law and liberty,
which is life, beiore which the minions of trea
son shall quail and fall. To us, as scholars,
the world is now looking for those efforts
which struggling humanity here demands.—
On us, as patriots, those who ioughtand died for
the freedom and truth are looking down with
wistful eyes. Why stand we here idle? On!
The mangled arm of your Jackson, the bleeding
form of your Johnson, the bones ol your heroes
bleaching on every hillside from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, are mute petitioners On !
Right and reason are your arms—“ beams of the
Almighty.” On to the glorious work ! Fling
out in bold defiance the conquered banner of
your principles! Collect and revivify the ashes
of your dead sentiments, if not your departed
heroes ! Justice is pale, truth is all blushes, lor
shame!
Liberty stauds all bathed in tears. On to
your sublime destiny ! No festal flowers may
greet your feet—no cannon’s salute reverberate
to your honor. But the sweetest ot flowers of
memory will twine in bright clusters over the
brows of your sons, and you will receive the
true rewards of the principle in principle itself
And thus shall we, though unarmed, conquer, as
never nation conqered before. And thus shall
our nation, born and nurtured as none, live as
never nation lived before. And thus sliall we
demonstrate the “vital principal ot nations” to
be—not might of arms—but that essence of God
like power in the Godlike of her patriots.
Ben. Wade’* Record—HI* Secession 1 l-
le ranee*.
The following portion ot a recent speech by
Judge Thurman, in Ohio, is readable and in
structive :
Now, let us come down to this gentleman
they call the Acting Vice President of the Uni
ted States, who, in thi3 city, a few weeks ago,
was crying for more blood, as il this country,
heaven defend us, had not enough blood slieal in
the past few years! This man, who says that
every Southern leader ought to have been hung,
and that their Northern sympathizers ought to
have been hung, too, and that it was a weakness
on the part of the government that they were
not. What kind of a man is he to talk that
way? In 1858, in the Senate of the United
States, under the solemnity of his oath, he de
clared, in the presence ot the Southern leaders
—in the presence of Jeff. Davis, and Toombs,
and Mason, and the whole of them—that he,
Benjamin F. Wade, believed at all times iu the
wisdom, the constitutionality, and the propriety
of the Virginia resolutions ot 1798 and 1799, and
put upon them, in that speech, precisely the
Calhoun interpretation—the interpretation that,
in the last resort, each State must judge
tor itseli, both as to whether the Consti
tution had been violated, and “of the rem
edy in such a case. ” That was precisely
the platform of Calhoun. It was precise
ly upon that platform the South defended
her right of secession. What did he say at the
next session of Congress? He said that he had
before him a message of the Governor of South
Carolina, and resolutions introduced into that
Legislature, as preliminary steps toward dissolv
ing the Union. Did he raise his voice to remon
strate against them V Did he entreat South Car
olina to reconsider what she was doing, and to
stay in the Uniofl, or did he threaten her with
vengeance of the General Government if she
went out with her disunion steps? Not one
word of any such thing as that, but he told her
aud told the world—these are his identical
words—“ This is actionthat is, these steps to
dissolve the Union and “I do not object.” What
stronger words than these could he have used ?
He didn’t object to a dissolution of the Union
when he had the evidence of the steps to dis
solve it right before him in the Senate, and he
was speaking under the obligation of liis oath.
He declares before God and his country that he
does not object to these efforts to dissolve the
Union. But now lie is for hanging all the men
who took him at his word.
And in the same speech he said :
“I assail no man’s motives. I have pondered
enough on the human mind aud human action
to know that circumstances have much more to
do with our opinions and actions than we are
generally willing to avow. I am now a Black
Republican, as you call me, imbued, I hope,
with the principles of universal freedom and real
Democracy—its advocate on all occasions—hut
if I had heeu born on the other side ot the line,
if I had been nurtured by those who hold prin
ciples diametrically opposite to those I now pro
fess, no doubt I should have principles diametri
cally opposite to those I now hold.”
That is, that if lie had been born in the South
he would have been just as good a Southern
man as Jeff. Davis. Again, in that same speech
he said:
“Let us, if we aan, reconcile the Union with
the best interests of all sections and all parties,
so that thus it may endure forever, as I believe it
may and ought” But if other sections think
otherwise, if they find it cannot be done consis
tently with their interests, I do not expect them
to act in opposition to their well-settled couvic-
tions of interest.”
In the same speech he said :
“ That there is a great controversy between
the different States of this Union cannot be de
nied. 1 do not stand here to upbraid any man
for being the advocate of either side of that great
controversy. 1 kuow very well that it has arisen
among us, independently of the will or actiou
of any man, of any section. It is not under the
control of auy man of any section.”
Then, after stating that his party had adopted
the old Declaration of Independence as the basis
of its political government, aud after referring to
the doctrine of the declaration, that a people
have the right to throw off their ancient govern
ment, and establish one more conducive to their
welfare, and applying this to the people of the
South, and their threats to dissolve the Uuiou,
he said :
“I hold that they have this right. I will not
blame any people lor exercising it whenever
they think the contingency has come.”
Thus he told Jeff. Davis to his face, Toombs
to his face, Wigfall to his face, Hanson to liis
lace—every one of these Southern leaders to his
face:
I will not blame you for destroying this Gov
ernment and erecting another more conducive
to your interests, whenever you think”—
Not when I think, not when the government
thinks, not when the people think, but whenever
you think the contingency lias come. And yet
this man, who told them he assailed no man’s
motive, that if he hnd been bora South he would
have been just like them, who told them that
they could erect on the ruins ot their govern
ment another more conducive to their welfare—
he is the very man that, when those people fol
lowed his advice, was the loudest in his cries
tor blood, for plunder, for confiscation, and for
banishment; and he is the mau whose appetite
for blood is not vet satiated, hut lie still goes on
crying like a famished tiger tor his prey, and
not only abusing those men who followed his
advice, hut abusing the eighteen hundred thou
sand Democrats ot liie North who never had
any opinion at all inconsistent with the preser
vation of the Union.
Now, my trieuds, the time did come when the
South thought the contingency spoken of by Mr.
Wade had arrived; that its interests required
that it should go out of the Union. It was a
great mistake ; a fearful blunder. But the time
came when they thought so, aud wheu they had
a right to expect Mr. Wade to stand up to his
word. They had heard him make that declara
tion, and they believed he spoke his real senti
ments. They believed that if they seceded there
would be at least one man in the Senate ot the
United States, Benjamin F. Wade, who would
say, “ They have a right to go out Let them
depart iu "peace.” That is what the South
thought. They liad Lincoln on their s' , ac
cording to his speech, and they had Chief stice
Chase, and they bail Mr. Edwin M. S.iitou,
who, according to Albert G. Brown, ot Missis
sippi, i veil after Mississippi had seceded, told him
she had doue right, aud not to let her hack Jown.
They had all these men, all these saints of Radical
calendar, thus encouraging them to go out, and
they had no right to suspect that these n en would
eat their own words and become the loudest in the
cry for slaughter and blood.

operation of the Police and Military—Arrests, Ac., Ac.
_ 1 he local editor and his assistants were long
since directed not to mention in these columns,
tinder any circumstances, the name of the no
torious Aaron A. Bradley, a freckled mulatto
from Boston, who, expelled from the Suffolk
bar for barratry, and iu such bad odor among
even Abolitionists, that he could not get a living
without work, came here to swindle negroes
who did not know him. The restriction was
dictated by a knowledge of his desire for noto-
toriety—the capital he has subsisted on. It is
removed lor this morning on account of the ne
cessity for using the objectionable name in a
legal document below, aud because the party an
ticipating notoriety seems to have got so near
the end of his rope a little publishing cannot
help him much.
THE HISTORY OF THE NOTORIOC3 BKaDLET.
Much as we dislike to afford capital for noto
riety to a professional martyr, under the circum
stances we will merely state that this negro was
once, by an inadvertance, (as we have it from
authentic information,) admitted to the Suffolk
bar, Boston, Massachusetts, where he never, that
we hear ol, gained a suit; where he was inva
riably whipped in prosecutions he brought
against real or fancied enemies, and from which
he was soon expelled. He came down here, as
a self-constituted uegro-suflrage man, but was
soon ignored by those he pretended to represent.
Then he commenced fleecing his countrymen
across the river. He has been once beiore a
military commission, sentenced to a year’s
imprisonment at Fort Pulaski, but soon pardon
ed out by the influence of Radical Congress
men. Since then lie has been a nuisance in Sa
vannah, supported ouly by those who were too
ignorant to mistrust his propensities, and living
on the contributions of his victims, aided by a
notoriety afforded him by some indiscreet or
improperly disposed journals. He is ignorant,
cannot read so you can understand him, or
write so a newspaper copy-hoider can read what
he writes. He is generally recognized among
intelligent colored men as a shyster, and has
been so treated. The other day, only, he com
plained of some respectable colored people tor
mobbing him.
THE CALL FOR THE MEETING.
Recently lie issued a call for a meeting for all
sorts ol revolutionary purposes, to be held yes
terday. It purposed to be signed by several
prominent whites and blacks who have since tie
dared their signatures forged, so we do not give
them; hut the following is the body oi a poster
where printed there is no imprint to show, hut
we hope not iu Savannah :

CORRESPONDENCE OF MAYOR ANDERSON WITH

Shortly after the promulgation ot the incen

perly, we think, we refrained from copying or
commenting on, Col. E. C. Anderson, May 7 or of

John Pope, commanding the Third Military Dis

REPLY OF CAPT. COOK.
Headquarters Post op Savannah, (
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 28, 1867. )
Hon. Edward C. Anderson, Mayor of the City of Sa-
VfioD&ii:
Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt ol your communication of the 23d instant,
turned over to me by Captain P. W. Houlihan,
16th Infantry, late commanding this post, stating
that disturbances are leared in connection with
the popular assemblage to be held at Savannah,
Ga., on the 30th instant.
I would respectfully inform you that proper
precautions have been taken should any distur
bance occur. This matter comes within the
provisions ol General Order No. 25, Headquar
ters Third Military District, dated Atlanta, Ga.,
May 29th, 1867, a copy of which is herewith en
closed.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, H. C. Cook,
Captain 16th United States Infantry,
Commanding Post.
a chosen few hundred club-bearing adherents,
appeared on the scene of action. An excitement
followed, but as everybody was pressing up to
see what was going on, no definite coarse was
taken. There was considerable confusion.
BRADLEY APOLOGIZES FOR BEING UNSUPPORTED.
In the meantime Bradley took the stand and
proceeded to read the call for the meeting, and
to state that he was very sorry to have to inform
them that the speakers announced to _ appear
were not present, liecause certain midnight as
sassins had threatened to shoot them in case
they made their appearance on the stand on that
occasion. But there was a principle involved,
aud he (Bradley) was ready and anxious to die
for a principle, and, therefore, he was on hand.
He said any mau was a fool to shoot at a prin
ciple, because if lie shot the head off a princi
ple, ten heads would immediately take the place
of the one shot off, and hence the more heads
were shot oft a principle, the more heads it
would have.
HE CALLS THE MEETING TO ORDER
lie then said it was liis duty to call the meet
ing to order, and requested the meeting to name
some gentleman tor chairman.
A SHORT AND SWEET ORGANIZATION.
His own name was called, and he was elected
whereupon he pompously announced that Aaron
A. Bradley, Esquire, was elected President of
the meeting, and said, “I thank you.” Other
officers were elected, but none ot them were
present.
ANOTHER APOLOGY FOR THE -LACK OF TAT.EN
Bradley then proceeded to denounce a pre
vious meeting held in Chippewa Square, us be
ing controlled by usurpers, tyrants, midnight as
sassins and ruin-shop bullies, and that he desired
the present meeting to be in harmoDy with the
great Convention at Atlanta.
RESOLUTIONS.
He then read a string of resolutions, favorin
manhood suffrage, eight hours a day for labor.
Ac., which were ail adopted by the few negroes
about the stand.
ANOTHER BOGUS TICKET.
He next presented a printed ticket for mem
here of the Convention, as follows:
“REPUBLICAN RELIEF TICKET.
FIRST DISTRICT.
FOR A CONVENTION.
CANDIDATES.
Ex-Gov. Jam*-s Johnson,
Hon. C. H. Hopkins,
Aaron A. Bradley, Esq.
David Hall Rice, Esq.
[We will here state that ever} 7 person on this
ricket except Col. Hopkins and Bradley haveal
ready published declinations, and most of them
have expressed great indignation at the freedom
taken with their names.]
BRADLEY AT ISSUE WITH NON-CONFORMING NOM
IN EES.
Bradley then went on to say that some of
these gentlemen had published cards iu the
newspapers stating that their names had been
placed on this ticket without their knowledge or
consent, but lie assured his audience, that
truth and fact, with die exception of ex-Rev. J.
M. Simms, every one of the gentlemen named
on the ticket liad consented to serve [Cries of
“you’re a liar,” lrom negroes,] and would serve
it elected, and therefore lie lelt warranted in as
suring them that there would be no difficulty on
that score. In reference to the ex-Rev, Simms
he said he had put his name on the ticket with
out his consent, to show certain parties that he
did not intend lo injure the ex-Rev. gentleman
by ruling him off the track.
THE CONVENTION TO BE VERY SELECT.
lie also explained at length that he did not
want a 113' bankers, millionaires, merchants, aris
tocratic mulattoes, or copperheaded yankees in
the convention. The denunciation of mulattoes
and the statement that mulattoes had attempted
to assassinate the speaker, created considerable
discussion and ill-feeling in the crowd for a time,
but it finally subsided.
HE RECOMMENDS'HIMSELF AS AN ABLE YOUNG
LAWYER.
Tlie speaker went on to say that it was ol the
utmost importance that young and intelligent
lawyers, like himself, should be members ot the
convention, because they were the only persons
who understood the legal meaning of words
and if the Constitution was not drawn up by
lawyers, it would not be worth the paper on
which it was written, and the lawyers and courts
would tear it all to pieces.
CONCERNING TECHNICAL TERMS.
He further stated that he wished to strike out
the word “relief,” at the head of the ticket, and
insert the word “uuion,” so that it would read
“Republican Union Ticket,” not because relief
was a bad word, hut because the men at whose
instance it was inserted did not have the courage
to appear on that stand
Having explained the ticket to his own satis
faction, he put the question on its acceptance
and it was adopted without opposition.by such
as could hear the question put.
COLLECTION TO COVER EXPENSES.
He announced that the object of the meeting
was accomplished, hut that there was a small
matter to which he would call their attention,
and that was, that the meeting was attended
with some expense, and that he would appoint
certain gentlemen to carry around tlie hat, and
he hoped the audience would be liberal, and if
more was collected than was necessary to pay
the expenses of the present meeting he would
expend the balance iu printing tickets for the
election. He collected in the vicinity of one hat
full ot postal currency—said to amount to ouly
$65.
LAND FOR ALL THE NEGROES.
After the collection, which was general if not
profitable, Bradley again took the stand, and
proceeded to explain his proposition to contis
cate a portion of the lands of the rich whites in
the State of Georgia aud divide it among the
colored gentlemen and the poor whites.
A RUMPUS AMONG THE NEGROES.
About this time, our reporter being unaccus
turned to this sort of promiscuous warfare, ai
though ready to admit that the “colored troops
fought bravely,” recollected that he had an en
gagement a short distance from the stand, his
memory probably being refreshed slightly by a
shillaleh performance which was next introduced
between a Conservative Savannah negro and
some Bradley guardsmen. The melee soon be
came general, and nothing hut tlie pluck aud
skill saved him from a mauling, &c. But about
this time occurred an unexpected interruption in
the shape of a complete dispersion of the crowd
by a
ARRANGEMENTS FOR SCPPESSING THE DISTUR
BANCES.
Captain Houlihan having been relieved by
Captain Cook, several interviews occurred be
tween tlie latter aud His Honor, which resulted
iu a complete unity ot sentiment and concert of
action regarding the treatment of this demon
stration. And Tn this connection we wish to
compliment the Mayor, Aldermen, and Chief of
Police, on their good judgment in the course
they took, and to say, as tlie expression of al
most every citizen we have heard speak on the
subject, that Captain Cook and his officers be
haved creditably to themselves, and in a manner
to win the respect of our whole people.
THE COUNTRY NEGROES
came in iu gangs,- one large party armed with
muskets, and parading through the streets in
imitation of Sherman. They brought food for
a two days’ campaign, and announced their ex
in the houses that
COMBINED INTERVENTION OF THE POLICE AND
MILITARY.
The police, under General Anderson and
Lieutenants Howard and Bell, first charged
among the combatants, aud the mob of negroes
were just beginning to pull their pistols for a
contest with this thoroughly disciplined body,
when a shout was raised, and Captain Cook’s in
fantry came charging into the square. We have
seldom seen such a scattering. A line of senti
nels was thrown out along the main Bull street
avenue, and many a negro can swear their mus
kets had bayonets fixed on them. The troops
were well provided with ammunition, with a
couple grape-loaded field pieces at the barracks,
and a reserve to fall back on.
They formed in line near the pftlice, and a se
ries of combined charges was soon made, which
resulted in a large number of arrests and the
complete dispersion of the crowd, not only from
the square, but from the adjoiniug streets. It
was a gratifying sight to look at, a company of
blue-coats and a company of gray-coats, side by
side, acting without the least disagreement. If
anything, the soldiers showed the most eclat in
breaking up Bradley’s mob, though we have no
reason to believe the police felt any great back
wardness. Bradley ran at the start, and came
near being beaten by some of his adherents.—
When he reached his house there were twenty
followers minus clubs, and low in courage, cra
ving entrance, but their chieftain convinced them
they had better not come in, and then commenced
harrangning them. A crowd soon gathered, and
the tumult becoming rather general, some police
rode and walked along. One of them was at
tacked by an armed negro, pistol cocked, club
poised, and tongue foul, when a charge occurred
by the small squad of police, and the man was
arrested, to the interruption of another incen
diary meeting. The arrests during the evening
amounted to over forty, by the police and mili
tary, nearly all of the Bradley-followers who
disturbed the peace. Several ot the ringleaders
will be sent to Fort Pulaski, we understand.
During the evening the city was even more
quiet than usual, in spite of tiie reflux of inimi
cal lYeedmen. many of whom had to thank their
champion for being obliged to sleep in a strange
city, without money, or any friends, except the
police.
At last accounts Bradley was non est inventus.
Mobbed by colored men, suppressed by Federal
soldiers, liable to the law ou a dozen charges, we j
hope we have got the last of him.
Boston Girl*.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune de
scribes them thus:
“For the benefit of your lady readers I mfist
try to sketch the Boston girl as I have seen her.
The Boston girl necessarily was bom in Boston.
Necessarily also her ancestors, and she will trace
hack her lineage to that Thankful Osgood, who
came over in 1640, and owned the cow that laid
off the streets ol Boston. The wolf that suckled
Romulus was held in no more respect by the
Latins than is the bronze image of that cow,
cast by Mr. Bull, the sculptor, upon a commis
sion trom her father, a solid man, who lives on
Beacon street, in a brown-stone front, with two
“bow” windows and a brass knocker.
The ambition of every young Boston girl is to
live iu a brown-stone front, with two “bow”
windows and a brass knocker, before she dies.—
Having accomplished that, and attended a course
of medical lectures, she is ready to depart in
peace, for after that all is vanity.
Accordingly, the city is filling up the marshes
of the Back Bay and building hundreds of these
blank, dismal, prison-like brown-stone fronts, all
of the same size and color, laid out with square
and compass, as full of windows as a cotton mill,
and iu general presenting a look of stupid aristo
cratic twenty-by-forty wretchedness and ennui.
The monotonous parallelograms will by and-bye
lie filled with Bostou girls who will have attained
the height of their ambition.
There are three facts connected with the life
of the Boston girl, viz : the frog pond, the natu
ral history rooms and the fraternity lectures. In
her infancy, if so majestic and awful a creature
ever had a”n infancy, she sailed small boats on
the frog pond and was several times rescued
lrom drowning in its depths by the same police
man who to-day wanders along its stone coop
ing, watching the reflection of his star in the
water, as he did a quarter of a century ago.—
She visits the pond daily on her way to the na
tural liistorv rooms, where she inspects, with
diurnal increase of solicitude, the boues of the
megatherium and the uondescrip foeti of human
and animal births preserved in Boston bottles
filled with Boston spirits.
The series of fraternity lectures is the last great
fact of the Boston girl’s life. She dotes on Phil
lips, idolizes Weiss’ social problems, goes into a
fine frenzy over Emerson’s transcendentalism,
and worship’s Gail Hamilton and her airy noth
ings.
The Boston girl is of medium height, some
what cottony, pale, iutellectual face, light hair,
blue eyes, wears spectacles, squints a little,
rather deshabille in dress, slight traces of ink on
her right second finger, blue as to her stockings
and large as to her feet. Of physical beauty
she is no boaster, but of intellectual she is the
“ paragon of animals.” Gather a dandelion by
the roadside, she will only recognize it as the
Leontoden taraxacum, and discourse to you
learnedly of its fructification by winged seeds.
She will describe to you the relative voicings of
the organs of Boston, and the size of the stops
iu the Great One. She will analyze the differ
ence in Beethoven’s and Mendelssohn’s treat
ment of an allegro con moto. She will learnedly
point out to you the theological difference in the
conservative and radical schools of Unitarianism,
and she has her views on the rights of a woman,
including her sphere and mission. But I doubt
whether tlie beauty of the flower, the essence ot
music, or the sublimity of Beethoven or Men
delssohn, or the inspiration of theology, ever
find their way into her science-laden skull, or
whether those spectacled eyes ever see their way
to the care of nature and art.
The Boston girl is a shell. She never ripens
into a matured flesh and blood woman. She is
cold, hard, dry and juiceless—an intellectual
mummy. Gail Hamilton is a type of the Boston
girl at maturity. Abby Kelley Foster was a
type of the Boston girl gone to seed. If Gail
Hamilton lives as long as did Abby Kelley, she
will carry a blue cotton umbrella, wear a Lowell
Calico, and make speeches on the wrongs of wo
man and the abuses of the tyrant man" If the
Boston girl ever marries, she gives birth either
to a dictionary or total melancholy-looking young
intellect, who is fed exclusively on vegetables,
aDd at the age of six lias mastered logarithms
and zoology, is well up in the carboniferous and
fossiliferous periods, falls into the Frog Pond a
few times, dies when he is eight years of age
and sleeps beneath a learned epitaph and the
Leontodon taraxacum.
On the 9th of July, 1865, General Sheridan
gave hia opinion of negro suffrage in an address
to tlie returned soldiers at Chicago. He said:
“I want those who have been in the South to
bear testimony to the condition of these freed
negroes. My own opinion is that they are not
fitted for the exercise ot the franchise. I want
them to get a fair price for their labor, bat I do
not think they are fitted to take part in the legis
lation of the country.” These are the persons
the Radicals are in favor of making the equals
of white men at the polls by Federal power.

A Genuine Ghost Story.
The Monongahcla, Pennsylvania, Republican
says:
Not very long ago, the young and beautiful
wife of one of our citizens was called to her
final account, leaving her husband disconsolate,
sad, bereft. Site was buried in the adjacent
cemetary, and the husband returned to his deso
late home—but not to forget the loved one." She
was present with him by day in spirit and in his
dreams at night. One pecularity of his dreams,
and one that haunted him, being repeated night
after night, was tills, that the spirit of his wife
came to his bedside and told him that the under
taker had not removed from her face the square
piece of muslin or napkin which had been used
to cover her face after death, but had screwed
down her coffin lid with it upon her; that she
could not breathe in her grave, blit was unrest
on account of the napkin. He tried to drive the
dream away, but it hided with him by night and
troubled him by day. He sought the consola-
tious of religion ; his pastor prayed with him
and assured him it was wicked to indulge such
morbid fancy. It was tlie subject of his own
petition before the throne of grace, but still the
spirit came and told anew the story of her suffo
cation. In despair he sought the undertaker,
Mr. Dickey, who told him that the napkin had
not been removed, hut urged him to forget the
circumstances, as it could uot lie any possible
annoyance to inanimate clay. While the gen
tleman frankly acknowledged this, lie could uot
avoid the apparition, and continual stress upon
his mind began to tell upon his health. At
length he determined to have the body disinter
red, and visited the undertaker for that purpose.
Here he was met with the same advice and per
suasion, and convinced once more ot liis folly,
the haunted man returned to his home. That
night, more vivid than ever, more terribly real
than before, she came to his bedside, and up
braided him for liis want ot affection, aud would
not leave him until he promised to remove the
cause of all her sufferings. The next night, with
a friend, he repaired to the sexton, who was pre
vailed upon to accompany them, and there, by
tlie light of the cold, round moon, the body was
lifted from its narrow bed, the coffin lid un
screwed and the napkin removed iroiu the face
of the corpse. Tbatiniglit she came to his bed
side once more, but tor the last time. Thanking
him for his kindness, she pressed her cold lips to
his cheek, and came again no more. Reader, this
is a true story ; can you explain the mystery ol
dreams ?
Horror* of an Underground Railway.
The condition of tlie Underground Railway is
exciting some attention, not to say alarm. Two
passengers h ive died while traveling on the road,
and it is alleged that their deaths were occa
sioned or hastened by the suffocating air of tiie
tunnels. The latest inquest was held yesterday.
A young woman, apparently in good health, en
tered tlie Bishop’s Road station on Wednesday
evening. On reaching the platform she said :
It is a very nice station, but very hot.” On
elting into one of the carriages she said:
What a very dreadful smell there is here.”—
These were the last words she spoke. At King’s
Cross she was taken out by her companion in
an apparent lifeless condition. A physician be-
_ sent for, arrived in five minutes and found
her dead. An examination showed that she had
died lrom restriction of the aortic orifice, but the
physician declined to say whether her death had
been quickened by breathing an impure atmos
phere. Tlie coroner in this case was the eminent
physician, Dr. Laukester, and at his suggestion
the inquiry 7 was adjourned, in order that the air
of the tunnels may be analyzed, and its precise
condition ascertained. At an inquest held last
week, a surgeon testified positively that death
had been accelerated “by the suffocating air of
the underground railway.” The statement pro
duced inquiry 7 , and tlie inquiry produced the
fact, or the assertion, that sulphurous and car-
boreited gases have gone on accumulating in the
tuunels ot tlie railway, till the air had become
dangerous to breathe, till the presence of choke
damp, to be followed by fire damp, threatened
at no very distant day, a terrible explosion. This
accomit is denounced as sensational, and is pro
bably exaggerated ; but it appears to be certain
that there is a good deal of foul air in tlie tun
nels.—London correspondence of the Hew York
