Stale vituperation of prominent Southern politicians, and desperate yells against “ copperheads,” “ rebels,” etc., furnish the entire capital of the Radical party.— While these frantic appeals to ancient pre judices are sounded by our enemies, the De mocracy charge home upon them robberies and corruptions without number, and fix them before the popular gaze as men whose loyalty begins and ends in the treasure-box of the masses. How do they repel these damaging accusations ? By facts and fig ures ? Not much, if at all. Mr. Greeley plays old liobbs with his own almanac, and shouts out, “ you lie, villain, you lie.” When Mr. Vorhees exhibits the Chief of the Bureau as a falsifler of his own record, houest Horace threatens to “ pin his ears in the pillory.” When Mr. Manker, a Radical employee of the House of Repre sentatives, is quoted to prove that “ the Clerk of the House of Representatives paid a salary of $3,160 per annum to his own father-in-law, who never lived an hour out side of Gettysburg, Penn., during the pe riod of the Clerk’s incumbency,” an univer sal yelp goes up about Hampton or Toombs. When, from the Secretary of the Treasury’s report, the expenses of the Gov ernment are shown to be for the month of July, $46,549,000, or equal to five hun dred AND FIFTY-EIGHT MILLIONS, FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS i-br annum, all of which arc leach ed from the toiling and impoverished peo ple, an immense scream issues forth from every loyal pulpit and rostrum against Howell Cobb and Ben Hill. We believe that a little more prudence on our part would have wrested from the Jacobins even this stock in trade; but yielding them this much of ammunition, their feeble volleys against every so-called rebel, from Washington to “ Little Gif fen, of Tennessee,” are drowned in the thunders of the Democratic guus, which ex pose the robbers of the people in the very act of malfeasance. We acknowledge that, by perversion and adroit distortion, the Cobb-Hampton-Toombs argument has been plied with great ingenuity, and perhaps some advantage, by the Radical press and rostrum. But the vast majority of men are much more anxious to know what has be come of their money and what must surely become of it without a change of govern ment. They iTave scanty time or patience to puzzle over possible indiscretions of bar becue oratory in the South; they are too eagerly intent upon getting out search-war rants against the public peculators of the North. So, under an economical and honest ad ministration of affairs by the Radical party, the “ rebel ” argument would have been a weapon of amazing power in legitimate hands. Under the auspices of the most corrupt and extravagant cabal iu the his tory of mankind, it plays but a shabby part in the great drama of the present, and is rated at its full value—a clever but burg larious excuse for unlimited cheating in the past, and a hypocritical and maniacal at tempt to clothe future conspiracies in the garb of excessive loyalty aug immaculate patriotism. That game is pretty well ‘'played out.” During the “ war for the Union,” the sensational Northman was tickled to death — literally —with those fine straws of senti ment. Since the blighting peace of Recon struction, he has sobered down to his nor mal spirit of calculation, and what formerly amused his fancy or stirred his soul to prowess now maddens him against the men who persuaded him to folly. We suppose the Cobb-Hampton-Toombs-Hill cry will be kept up till the end of the chapter. But it will never satisfy Jonathan on the score of taxes, negro Republics, swindling Bu reaux and other Congressional extortions. Jonathan has gone to work with his slate. The figures do not come out to suit him. Woe to the defaulters when the day of reck oning shall come ! Campaign Documents. Democratic speakers in the North have written to prominent Southern politicians for copies of the Radical State constitutions. They are said to be most effective documents in the West. We hope our South Carolina friends will send on a copious supply of the debate in their Bones and Banjo House of Representatives on Social Equality. It would prove a stunner. Strange But Appropriate.—Thad Stevens had no religion. Out of respect for his memory, and irreligion, no services were held in some of the churches in Lan caster on Sunday evening. Anew kink in thoelogy. Well, when John Brown and Theodore Parker are the divinities of Harvard College, old Thad will do Tor those churches in Lancaster. SOMETHING FROM THE GREAT MUM. The Washington Evening Express, of the 24th, has the following double-leaded edito rial, under the captions of “ Important!” “ The Enemy Becoming Panic-Struck!”: “ M e learn that Geu. Grant, alarmed at the revolution going on in the public mind, and hoping to 'mollify a deserting public opinion, will soon come out in a letter assuming a Con servative position. Too late, General! You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. And no late-in-thc-day repentance of past blunders —no repudiation of bad associ ates—can save you and your party from the wrath of the people!” Should the promised letter ever come to light, the people of the United States will he treated to the political opinions of that rare combination of sense-keepers, Messrs. Washburne, Rawlings and Badeau. We have had the Herald and the Bound Table on the situation, let ns, by all means, bear from the inspirers of Ulysses. - Aha !—The New York Times is not quite so confident of victory as formerly. It says: “ We know that a solid white vote can carry all the Southern Slates for Blair and Seymour; we know also that many of the negroes will be coerced to vote the same ticket. In those States, therefore, we will not venture a predic tion.” That will answer pretty well. The Times, however, continues: “ But it seems to us certain that in the Northern States, where the people all vote freely, there will be so decided a majority for Grant and Colfax, that the Southern vote, whichever way it may turn, will be of no im portance.” Yes, so very “ certain ” that the party at the North, if it dared or could, would com pel every Southern Legislature to vote for Grant and Colfax. The Times is in the depths. The “ Weston Stick.”—Wc have shown what sort of a convert to Radicalism Alkxandkk Rives, of Virginia, was. The Philadelphia Age notes the case of George M. Weston, of Maine, who is chronicled as a “ distinguished Democrat.” The facts of this case are as follows: It is now nearly twenty years since Mr. Weston supported or voted the Democratic ticket, with the exception of the year 1866. An Abolition ist of a quarter of a century in standing; the editor of a Radical newspaper organ in Washington ; a supjiorter of Fremont and Lincoln, is a proper person to announce as a convert to Grantism and negro equality. When other changes are paraded, they can lie measured by the Weston stick. Sic Semper. —The Mobile Register in forms us that the carpet-bag crisis has commenced. The Radical newspaper at Montgomery has “ gone up the spout,” and the chief orator of the Skowhegan concern has told the negroes, in a public speech, “ that it was useless to deceive them, and he was bound to tell them that the Radical party at the South was the negro party, for that description could not be qualified by the mere handful of whites that belonged to it.” From the way tho Georgia Legislature is acting, we should judge that Skowhegan was about to give up the ghost here, as well as iu Alabama. A Radical Feeler.—So certain of a Grant triumph are the Radicals who swear by the New York limes, that the party is reported as putting out this feeler, which wc find iu the Washington correspondence of the Herald: “ It is said here to-day that should the re lesult of tho October elections indicate a pro bability of Democratic success in tbe Presi dential contest, the State Legislatures of the North which have a Radical majority will pro ceed to choose Presidential electors, and thus defeat the popular will.” ' An Appetizer. —Thirty-five thousand votes, M properly distributed,” (according to a wrtter in Putnam's Magazine,) would have changed the result of the last Presi dential election, and cast the vote in favor of McClellan. In the States of Connecti cut, Ox'egon, Kentucky and Nebraska, at the late elections, the aggregate majority was ninety-four thousand, Democratic. Virginia. —The Democrats in the Old Dominion are making an active campaign in spite of the disabilities under which Con gress has placed their electoral vote. They promise Seymour and Blair 50,000 ma jority. Very True. —Greeley says Tiiad Stevens had the “ facility of giving the character of a man in a single word.” Greeley speaks from personal knowledge. Old Thad called Horace a “ scare-crow.” The Colored Democrat in the Legis lature.—R. M. Valentine, of Abbeville, the only colored Domocrat in the so-called Legislature of this State, deserves the com mendation and substantial support of every man in South Carolina who is opposed to the Radical party. His course has been .carefully scrutinized by us since he first took his seat as a member of the House, and on all occasions he has proven himself, not only worthy of confidence, but eminently deserving of consideration for the moral heroism he has displayed. Every argu ment which the Radicals could command has been whispered in his ear, to convince him that he was antagonizing himself to the interests of his race; and when these failed, threats, scoffs and jeers have been unavailingly employed to dragoon him into their ranks. Amidst all these temptations he lias remained firm and true to his first love; and to the people who appreciate his consistency, and who, when the day of their restoration to power returns, will re ward him for his noble services in the cause of justice and truth.— Phcenix. “ The Boys in Blue.”— The Radicals in Hartford lately issued a call for a meeting of the “ Boys iu Blue.” ft was stated that the organization would be comprised of ex soldiers exclusively. But the meeting was so slimly attended, and all the efforts of the Radicals failing to rally soldiers enough to make anything like a satisfactory organiza tion, the tactics were changed, and the or ganization opened to all who would come. This of course stripped the thing of its character as a Soldiers’ Association—and it is now run into a mere Radical party machine. A majority of the soldiers are going with th'e Democrats. A majority of them in Con - necticut voted for Gov. English last Spring. Why not ? Ask a soldier what he fought for. He will tell you for “ peace and the Unionand he will also tell you that we have not got either under the Radical policy. Times. September Elections. A FEW HOPEFUL FACTS AND FIGURES. [From tho New York World. Three States will hold their annual elec tions in Septemljcr—Vermont, California and Maine. The Presidential contest ex cites more than usual interest in the Sep tember elections, and they begin to be look ed forward to with a degree pf anxiety which is excelled only by that aroused in the later and more important contests. The Vermont election will occur Septem ber 1. The vote in Vermont lor the past ten years has been as follows : Dem. Rep. Maj. 1858 13,538 29,460 15,992 1859 14,499 31,367 16,868 1860 11,890 34,260 22,370 1861 8,912 33,155 24,243 1862 3,724 30,032 26,308 1863 11,962 29,613 17,651 1804 12,283 31,260 18,977 1865 8,857 27.586 18,829 1866 11,292 34,117 22,825 1867 11,510 31,694 20,184 The election in California for members of Congress will occur September 8. The following has been the vote of the State for the past ten years: Dem. Rep. Maj. 1858 44,599 36,147 8,452 1859 62,255 31,298 30,957 1860 * *39,173 +38,516 +34,334 1861 30,914 56,036 23,386 1862 37,331 51,238 13,907 1863 44,715 64,447 19,732 1864 43,811 62,134 18,293 1865 26,245 32,221 6,470 1866 no general election. 1867 49,905 40,359 9,546 # Liocoln. t Dougina. t Breckinridge. The election in Maine for State officers and members of Congress will occur Sep tember 14. The vote of the State for the past ten years has been as follows: Dem. Rep. Mai. 1858 51,820 67,762 8,942 1859 44,373 56,361 11,988 1860 51,378 69,469 18,091 1801 40,482 57,475 16.993 1802 32,331 45,534 13,203 1803 50,583 08,299 17,710 1804 46,476 02,389 15,913 1805 31,117 53,449 22,332 1860 41.939 09,026 27,687 1867 46,035 57,649 11,614 The Vermont election is not likely to produce any very decisive changes in either direction. The slightest Democratic gain, however, would prove a hopeful sign of the canvass. In California, which is now represented in Congress by two Democrats and one Republican, there is no probability that the Democracy will loose ground and almost a certainty that they will gain. The Demo cracy carried the First District last year by the decisive majority of 4,804 and the Third District by 373 majority. The Radi cals elected a Congressman in the Second District by 1,267 majority. It is not too much to hope that the Second District may lie redeemed in September, since the same causes that worked to our advantage in Oregon are manifestly felt in California. The first, real contest of the campaign will be fought iu Maine. Up to last year this State was good every year for a Re publican majority of from 15,000 to 18,000; but last year this majority was reduced to a little more than 11,000, while the Radi cal vote fell off nearly 12,000 in a single year. Since that time there have been unmis takable evidence that the reaction which has affected nearly every Stale iu the Union where a legitimate election has been held since 1854 has been likewise experienced in Maine. The same causes that operated to produce Democratic triumphs in Connecti cut and Oregon must, according to all political precedents and experience, be pro ductive of most emphatic changes in a neighboring State. To be sure, the local issues that added strength to the Demo cratic cause last year are wanting iu this campaign. But the disaffection of the peo ple, caused by Congressional oppression and misrule, which was not positively potent in 1867, has been intensified Ijy re cent events into a reactionary feeling that must redound to the serious disadvantage of Radicalism. A Democratic victory is too much to expect in Maine next month, but we feel confident that there will be De mocratic gains which will be the next best thing to a Democratic triumph. Anv change favorable to the Democracy will strengthen popular confidence in the suc cess that, is surely coming in November. The Political Campaign—Badical Prospects North and South. [ Washington Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. All the advices received here recently from the South represent carpet-bagism as on its death bed. With the exception of Florida and South Carolina all the South ern States are conceded as certain to go for Seymour and Blair. The Radical organi zations in the reconstructed regions are dwindling away rapidly, and defection has readied their very stronghold with such alarming results that the carpet-bag heroes see notiiing but ruin ahead. They have discovered their great weakness in the very spot where they looked for an impregnable tower of strength. The negroes whom they relied upon as their right arm of power have become disgusted und proclaim that the white Radical is a greater enemy to them than the white rebels who were lately their masters. The most intelligent blacks, therefore, have determined to join hands with their old masters and thus drive awaj r the carpet-bag adventurers from the South to their native element. This repudiation of Radicalism by the colored citizens is overwhelming the Republican leaders of the South, and consequently they are be ginning to realize that they have been caught in their own trap. Several shrewd Republicans who have just returned from different parts of the South admit that Sambo has turned the tables upon them completely, and that now their only hope of success is m the North. This last hope seems not to have a very firm hold of them either, judging by the manner in which they write to their friends in this city. The correspondence sent here from differ ent States in the East and West by Radh cal stumpers and managers is of the most desponding character. Tney admit that Pennsylvanai, Indiana and Ohio are lost to Grant and Colfax beyond redemption, and one of them declares that Blinois will go the same way unless the strongest efforts are made to save it. Logan’s de feat as Congressman at large from the State is spoken of as certain, but the elec toral ticket, it is urged, may be carried by clever engineering. The most sanguine Republican I have seen here from Colfax’s State only figures up a Republican ma jority of three thousand in Indiana. This Republican is one of the most shrewd and influential politicians in the State of Indi ana. In fact, the impression Is very gene ral here now that Seymour and Blair will be elected by a very decisive majority, not on account of any great popularity of their own, but because the people of the country are determined to have a change anyhow. Butler Catches It.— Robert J. Brent, Esq. a prominent lawyer of Baltimore, in a card re lative to the Euits against Butler in that city, concludes as follows: I have only to say in reply to Gen. Butler’s reference to Mr. Addison and myself by name as “ rascally attorneys" that the coward, who has for more than two months been craven enough to submit to the brand of infamy, which I publicly stamped on his forehead, cannot in sult a gentleman by any language which dis closes “ the white feather” of a skulking black guard—a mac who has always disgraced the epaulettes he once wore against the very peo ple who were tempted and betrayed by him into an unfortunate , but heroic, struggle lor a lost cause.

When the health has become impaired, and the strength is failing, then life looks more alluring. Stimulants are tbe only means of restoration in cases of nervous debility. Tho great difficulty has been to pro vide a stimulant possessing not only medicinal merit, but one affording permanent relief. If Hostetter s Stomach Bitters is resorted to in such cases, its bene ficial effects will soon become apparent in the buoyancy of spirits and renewed strength of the hitherto dejected patient. Experience has proved this preparation to be “ The remedy of the age ” for nervous debility, ns well as all diseases arising from derangement ol the stomach and liver. l’erbODS advanced in life, and feeling the hand of time weighing heavily upon them, with all its attendant ills, will find iu the use of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters an elixir That will instill new life into their veins ; restore, in a measure, the ardor and energT of more youthtul days; build up their shrunken forma aud give health and vigor to their remaining years. Those who are in the least afflicted with Dyspepsia, Ague, Languor, Nausea, or any other troublesome and dangerous disease, arising from a disordered system, should not hesitate to avail themselves of the benefit derived from this great remedy.

The organization of the In titu tion into Primary,High School, Poly tcchulc and Fine Arts Departments meets the wants of ail classes ol pupils and students, and has been entirely successful in practice. No othor Academy at the South is placed on sucli a fa vorable basis for instruction end discipline; its Tour Professors received their education at the West Point Military Academy, aud the connection of the Scientific pait of the Course, with the extensive Laboratory, Philo sophical apparatus and Lecture Room of the Medical College, gives unprecedented advantages. The Rudimental and higher English Studios, Classics, French, a thorough Course of Mathematics, with Natu ral Science in its different branches, taught by Recita tions and Lectures, with Experimental Illustrations and Military Drill and Discipline, constitute the basis of in struction. The Polytechnic School affords excellent facilities to young men for studying a selected Collegiate and Prac tical Course; It is, probably, the only place In the Sooth where the Practical Sciences are taught to students working at their own tables and performing their own experiments.
