HARD PUSHED.
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.

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

which is excelled only by that aroused in
the later and more important contests.
The Vermont election will occur Septem

and members of Congress will occur Sep

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

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.

Home, friends and all tbe enjoyments of life seem in
finitely more dear to the sufferer from nervous debility
when the probability is that, ere long, lie must leave
them forever. 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 immense quantities of this Invaluable tonic that
are consumed, and whioh is steadily increasing, year by
v«ar. Is sufficient in itself tdMirarm the most skeptical.

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY,
AT AUGUST A.
TIIIS EXEKOISEB will commence on the Ist SEPTEM
BER iu all 1 he branch, s. 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.
The Academic year, of ten months, has two equal ses
sions for the Polytechnic, and five terms, of two months
each, for the other departments.
CHARGES:—In Primary School, $6, SB, or $10; in
High School, SIS, sl6, or $lO per term, according to clas
