(Efyroniclf anb WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11. THE EMPEROR WILLIAM AS A POET. It seems that the German Emperor isl alae a German poet. Some of hi* Terse* hare a pro phetic ring in connection with the event* of the last few years. The following atanzas are translated from a poem entitled “Oberrhein, which the Emperor, then I*rince Wilhelm Von Prcnaeen. wrote in 1840.

The following *ong, exceedingly *weet and plaintive, come* to tia from a ixiyetenon* *ource. It »eems not to have been written by any one in the lle*h, but dropped down itself from Momewhere. Ha* any one ever heard or *een anything like it, we wonder ? The maple trees are tinged with red, The birch with golden yellow, And high above the orchard wall Hang apple* rich and mellow; And that’* the way, through yonder lane, That look* *o still and gra**y— The way I took one Sunday eve, When Mary was a lassie. You’d hardly think that patient face, That looks so thin and failed, Was once the very sweetest one T>at ever bonnet shaded; But when I went through yonder lane, That looks so still and grassy, Those eyes were bright, thoso oheek* were fair. When Mary was a lassie. But many a tender sorrow, And many a patient care, Have made those furrows on the face That used to bo so fair. Four times to yonder church yard. Through the lane so still and grassy, We've borne and laid away our dead, Since Mary Was a lassie. And so, you see, I’ve grown to love The wrinkle* more than roses ; Earth's Winter tiowor* are swoetor far 'llian all Spring s dewy pernios ; They'll carry us through yonder lane 'lliat, looks so still and grassy, Adown the lane I used to go When Mary was a lassie. LIFE. BY FATHER ItVAX. A baby played with the surplieo sleeve. Os a gentle Priest—while in accents low The sponsor murmured tho grand “I believe,” Anil the Priest hade the mystic waters flow— “ In the name of the Father, the Son, And the Holy Hpuit"—Three in One. Spotless as a lily’s leaf ! Whiter than the Christmas Bnow! Not a shade of a sin or grief— And the babe laughed sweet and low. A smile flitted over the baby’s face— Or was it the gleam of its angel'* wing Just passing then, and leaving a trace Os its prcsouce, as it soared to sing A hymn, when words and wator win To grace and life a child of sin ? Not an outward sign or token That the child was savod from woo— But the bonds of sin were broken, And tho babe laughed sweet and low. A cloud rose up to tho mother’* eye* — And out of the cloud grief's rain fell fast ; Came the baby's smiles and tho mother’* sigh* Out of the Future, or the Past ? Ah ! gleam and gloom must ever moot, And gall must mingle with the swoot! Yea ! upon her baby’s laughter Trickled tears—'tis always so— Mothers dread the dark hereafter— But hor babe laughed swoel and low. And tlio yoars, liko waves, liroko on tho shore Os tho mother’s heart and her baby'* life— But her lone heart drifted away before Hor littlo boy knew an hour of Btrifo ! Drifted away on a Hummer eve Ere the orphaned boy knew how to grieve. Hor liumblo grave waH humbly made Whore roses bloomed in Bummer’s glow ; The wild birds sang where hor "heart was laid; And hor boy—laughed eweot and low. He floated away from hi* mother'* grave, Like a fragile flower on bright stream’* tido 1 Till he heard tho moan of the mighty wavo That welcomed the stream to tho ocean wido! Out from tho shore and ovor the deep, He sailed away—and ho loarnod to weep ! Furrowed grew the face once fair— Under storm* of human woo ; Silver gray tho bright, brown hair; And he wailed so sad and low. And years swept on as erst they swept; Bright wavelet* once —wild billow* now; Wherever ho Bailed— he ever wept, And a cloud hung o'er bi* brow. Over the deep and into tho dark. But no one knew where sank hi* hark. Whilo roHo* watched tho mother’s tomb, The world still laughed—’tis ever *o! God only know the baby’* doom, That laughed *o *woet and low. DRIFTING AWAY. Drifting away—drifting away! Baby i* leaving mo every day, Bailing far out on the treacherous sea Where the bright glories of woman-life bo, Ye*, on tho hour-ripplcs. day after day, Baby, my darling, is drifting' away! Drifting away—drifting away! Every morn loses a golden ray, Every- night twiueth a shade. lo*s fair, Ovir the tanglos of clustering hair. Yes. on the hour-ripples, day after day, Baby, my darling, is drifting away ! Drifting away—drifting away! Bailing and singing ! 0, bright little fay! All the true strokes of thy silver-tipped oar Float back to echo on memory’s shore. . Yos, on the hour-ripples, day after day, Baby, my darling, is drifting away! Drifting away—drifting away! Wonderful words can the dainty lips say, Wonderful tasks can the busy hands do, Wonderful journey* go tiny feet true ; Ye*, on the hour-ripples, day after day, Baby, my darliug. is drifting away ! * Drifting away—drifting away! Baby is leaving me every day ; Steering far out on the treacherous sea Where the bright glories of woman-life be— Yes. on the hour-ripples, day after day, Baby, my darling, i* drifting away! MATILDA AT THE GATE. Matilda, jnst you mind them hens. And shoo ’em out away from hero. They’re scratching all the garden up— Why, Tildv’e gone wa'al, that* queer. She ain’t contrary as a rule; And gen’lly obeys us well. But. though she heard me, off she put— Why. there's Lorenco retting ill! He met her and she’s stopped to talk— Them liens will eat up everything— Ha’s wanting her to take a walk— Wa'al. it is nice to Walk in Spring. He's took her hand—come, that won’t do— She seems to stand uncommon still; I'd better let them know I'm round— Good evening. Mr. PettingUl! He don’t mind me—it ain't no use — • Ah. wa'al. my time has been and gone; But. then. I’d really no idee How Tilda was a getting on. These gals grow up. and pretty soon They lay us old ones on the shelf ; Lorenzo is a smart voung man— I guess I’ll tend them hens myself, ARIEL. “My Dainty Ariel.”—Tempest, i. A voice like the murmur of doves. Soft lightning from eyes of bine. On her tlieek a flush like love's First delicate, rose-bud hue; n. Bright torrents of hazel hair. Which, glittering, flow and float O’er the swell of her bosom fair. And the snows of her matchless throat; m. Lithe limbs of a life so fine. That their rhythmical motion seems But a part of tile grace divine Os the music of haunted dreams ; IT, Low, gurgling laughter, as sweet As the swallow's song i’ the South, And a ripple of dimples that, dancing, meet By the curves of a perfect mouth; T. O creature of light and of air ! O fairy sylph o’ th’ sun ! Hearts whelmed in the tidal gold of her hair Rejoice to be so undone ! Pan, H. Hayse. Declines. —Col. I. W. Avery, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, declines to be a candidate for the nomination for Congress from the Atlanta District. In his letter declining, he states that his duties as editor and secretary of the Democratic Executive Committee are too laborious and exacting to allow him to enter the contest, and that whatever of usefulness he possesses for the party or country can best be rendered in tho dis charge of these duties. DOUBLE EXECUTION IN SOUTn CAROLINA. Two Negroes Hung for theMnriler ot White Men. At Columbia, S. C., last Friday, two negro murderers, Bill Lucas and Ned Harris, were hanged in the jail yard. Bill Lucas was tried and convicted at the May term of the Court of Ses sions of tho murder of John Simpson, a white man, and an employee of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road. The murder was committed in the early part of the Sp ring, on a Satur day night. Simpson, the poor victim, was an inoffensive man, but much ad dicted to hard drink. He was very much intoxicated on the night in ques tion. THE COMPANION CRIMINAL. Ned Harris was one of the murderers of Pat Murphy, an old Irishman, who for some time previous to his death, in December last, was a pump-minder at Hampton Station; just six miles below Columbia, on the South Carolina Rail road. A more cold-blooded and brutal murder was never perpetrated. The evidence in the case, which was mostly circumstantial, but none the less strong on that account, showed that Harris, with his two accomplices, Bill Jenkins and Butler Johnson, all negroes, had formed a pilot to murder and rob poor Murphy, who was somewhat of a miser, and generally believed to have a snug sum of money hoared away in his quiet little cottage, where he lived alone. Jenkins has never been arrested, and Johnson, his accomplice, hail his sen tence commuted to imprisonment for life in the penitentiary. EXECUTION SUSPENDED. Gov. Bcott suspended the sentences of Lucas and Harris, from the 16tli to Friday last. The nominating conven tion met on the 16th, and it is generally believed that Bcott put off the hanging purely for political reasons. Sheriff Frazeo was a candidate for re-election, and it is said that he interceded with Scott to spiare him from the necessity of having the hanging on that day, as he was afraid it would turn the negroes against him. THE EXECUTION. A Charleston News’ special dispatch gives the following particulars: Tho time fixed by the sentence for the execution was between the hours of ten and three o’clock. The scaffold was erected in the enclosure of the jail, which is in the southwestern part of the city, on the comer of Plain and Lincoln streets. When your correspondent reached the grounds, about eleven o’clock, a. m., there were already assembled in the adjoining lots, and on the streets, sev eral thousand persons, nine-tenths of whom were colored. About one o’clock a detachment of negro military, numbering probably one hundred, with Captain Gus Cooper at their head, were marched in, and the word was given that the hanging would soon tako place. Upon this the crowd in tho streets made a surge at the gate and tried to push their way in. The militia, however, with their bayonets and the police with their clubs, finally succeeded in pressing thorn back. AT ONE TIME A ROW SEEMED IMMINENT, And some of the hot-headed militia ap peared strongly incliuetl to use their bayonets. When order was restored the militia were drawn up in the form of a hollow square, with the gallows in the centre, and an outer line of sentries was thrown out to keep the crowd back. The gates were then opened and such of the crowd as had tickets were allowed to come inside the enclosure, which they soon filled to suffocation, except imme diately around the scaffold, within tho lino of tho soldiery, where the members of the press were invited to stand. There was about a half-hour then of waiting in tlio broiling sun until finally the door of tho jail was opened and SHERIFF FKAZKE APPEARED WITH THE TWO PRISONERS Tightly bound with ropes, one on each side of him, holding to liis arm. The Rev. Mr. Berkoly, colored, their spirit ual comforter, walked solemnly by their side with a hymn book and Bible in his hands. Tho four proceeded slowly to the scaffold and ascended the steps to the platform, from which the two doomed wretches were to take their long leap into eternity. The sheriff then read to them their sentences, which being finished, the Rev. Mr. Berkely read out a hymn, verse by verso, and it was sung by tho negroes around in a mournful tone, the prisoners themselves joining in the strain. A feeling prayer was de livered, the prisoners kneeling on the scaffold. Their last act of worship being ended, tho sheriff bade them take their final farewell of their fellow-beings. TllE SCENE WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. Lucas spoke first. Ho is (or was) a large, tall, black negro, of pure blood, with strongly marked features and not a bad countenance at all. People say he appeared greatly changed for the better in this respect since his imprisonment. It was thought, from his conduct on the trial, that ho would prove fierce and de fiant to tlio oml. On tho contrary, he seemed very much agitated, and the whole of tho few remarks he made were directed to an expression of the great comfort lie had received from religion, ms FAITH IN CHRIST, And tho firm hope he had of a blessed life hereafter. Ned Harris was a low, thick-set,_ brutish-looking fellow, with retreating forehead, flat nose and thick lips—a genuine African, of tho lowest type. HE APPEARED STOLID AND INDIFFERENT, And utterly incapable of realizing his terrible situation. Ho would gaze around upon tho crowd iu a stupid, bewildered sort of way, as if he imagined he had already reached another and a strango world. Ho professed religion, too ; but stoutly denied liis crime, avowing that he was as innocent as Christ him self. Lucas made no allusion to his crime. When they finished tho few words they had to say, the sheriff pro ceeded to make his final preparations. THE NOOSE WAS FASTENED Around their nocks, and black cowls drawn over their faces. It was an ugly thing to see, as tho sheriff came down from the platform and left these two figures standing there, dressed all in black, with their feet bound together and their hands tied in front, waiting, with but a few seconds more between them and eternity. The crowd gazed with breathless interest, until, as a sig nal was given by the sheriff. TIIE COED WAS PULLED, THE PLATFORM FELL, And there swung poor Lucas and Har ris dangling in tho air. Lucas died easily, but Harris, who was a lighter man,* was not immediately killed, and was kicking and wriggling in a horrible manner for five or ten minutes. When Dr. A. N. Tally, who was in at tendance, pronounced them dead, THEY WERE CUT DOWN And carried off for interment, a great part of the crowd following the bodies. UNBLUSHING NEGRO IMPUDENCE. An Insult to the People—An Outrage Upon Morality—Aaron Alpeoria Brad ley iu His Element Again. The following is a copy, as published in the Savannah Advertiser, of a placard boiug circulated by that arch negro agi tator, Aaron Alpeoria Bradley : God is with us ! Hail all Heaven 1 Ulysses S. Grant must be our President in 1872 ! Hail all Hell! Smith cannot be Governor of Georgia in 1873 ! no ! ho ! Hon. Dawson A. Walker can, will and must be the Governor of Georgia iu 1873, by the free will of a free people. All Grant and Wilson Republicans and all true Irishmen and German laboring Democrats, who feel that they cannot vote for a Commune, Free-lover, Spirit ualist, Know Nothing, High Tariff-man, Bigamist, Anti-Sunday and Bib'e-uian, rally at Conr.: square, Bull street, Monday afternoon, Septembers, 1862, at3 o’clock, p. m., to ratify the nomination of U. S. Grant and Henry Wilson, and to enroll your names with colored voters, that we may make a long pull, a strong pull, and « pull altogether, for the good of your poor wives and children who are suffer ing in Savannah and county. We wish to form a Grant Club of 500 men, 500 women, and 500 boys over ten years of age. Strike for the same rights under the Constitution, God and your native land. We also invite all the hook and lad der and engine companies. We make welcome as our protectors all the mili tary colored companies in Chatham ccffin ty, in arms under the Constitution and laws of Georgia. G. W. Wilson, Sandy Mills, and per sons disposed to disturb the public peace, are requested to stay away from this great Republican meeting. I will address you. A. Alpeoria Bradley. This bill must not be posted in the city of Savannah.— Savannah Journal l'rint. Bust in Cotton—Yield Seriously In jured.—Through our friends from the country we get distressing accounts of the injury being done to cotton by rust. On some farms the loss is estimated at half the promise one month ago, while other places are almost entirely exempt. [Gryjin News, BY TELEGRAPH. THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION. Speech of Blanton Dnncan—He Feels Relieved—Organization—Letter from Charles O’Conor. Ac. New York, September 3. —Louisville specials say that if O'Couor will stand, the ticket will be O’Conor and J. Q. Adams, or Adams and Hancock. Very much enriosity is manifested to ascer tain the contents of O’Conor’s letter, which was written Saturday and given to an Apollo Hall delegate to be opened after the Convention come to order. Judge Flanders, of New York, has pre pared a platform, which he will present to the Convention. It is thoroughly States rights in its tone. Considerable difference of opinion and warm discus sion is anticipated over the platform. Edgerton or Fitch are spoken of for Vice-President in case Hancock and Adams decline the nomination. Louisville, September 3, p. ru.—The Convention met to-day in the Common Pleas Court room of the Court House. Previous to and during the assembling of the delegates, the Second Regiment National Band of Philadelphia played various airs. At aDout one o’clock, Col, Blanton Dnncan called the Convention to order. Rev. Dr. Platt addressed the Throne of Grace in a prayer for concord and peace, and freedom from sectional jeal ousies throughout the land. Col. Duncan then spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: It is my duty to call this assemblage to order. Its objects are well known and require no explanations. We have- been derisively characterized as bolters, mercenaries, etc., by editors and politicians who liavo sought an alliance with a faction of the Radical party, and who have abandoned all principles which have hitherto char acterized our organization. It is not my province to cast reflection upon the motives of these leaders, in whose wis dom and judgment the party unfor tunately confided. Their action is in valid and void. It has no binding effect upon other individual members of the party, and it has already been repudiated by hundreds of thousands. No spirit of presumption or forwardness induced the gentlemen who acted with me to appeal to American Democrats against the flagrant violation of party faith and utter negation of principles involved in the nomination of Mr. Greeley. We did it with a higher and nobler motive —we did it to vindicate truth and to protest against tho offered reward for political treason to one who had occu pied a life time in the bitterest animad version upon those whose support he now has sought. If our call had been a failure our duty would have been none the less performed, but there was a sympathetic chord in the American heart, which responded in enthusiastic tones to'the musician’s touch. There is a love for honesty, a veneration for prin ciple, a deep-rooted desire for reform in the hearts of the American people, and the assemblage that I see be fore me to-day -evinces an earnest in tention to uphold that banner which had fallen from uerveless and incompe tent hands, and to prove that the old organization is not dead, but only sleep ing. [Applause. ] It has not died of its corruption, as the latter day saints pro claim, who are so eager for its destruc tion. It will not hold out hopes of re ward for party treason, nor bribes to secure generals from tho enemy’s camp. [Applause, j The eyes of the whole coun try are directed to this Convention and many anxious hopes are to be verified or blasted, according as wisdom or its nega tion shall be the controlling spirit of our deliberations. We can make this body a famous one in history, as the source from which the future policy and destiny of the country is to be shaped. We can mako it equally insignificant and destitute of influence. We want no hydra-headed platform, which can bo construed according to the wishes of the reader, for we have clear and un doubted theories, which have but one interpretation, whether expounded in the North or in the South. We can have no intent to re-opon the questions of tho past, which the sword ha3 SO bloodily decided. [Great applause.] We will give no encouragement to might that looks towards revolution, nor can we, whilst submitting to the inevitable, aud powerless to reverse what has been accomplished, satisfy ourselves by tlio commendation of nets performed in violation of tlio Constitution.— [Great applause]. We must seek our alliance upon principle. We must, if wo can, impress upon tho minds of the la boring classes, who constitute the vast majority of our population, the full con viction of our honesty and our sincerity in bohalf of measures tenilingto benefit them. Wo should prove our friendship by actions Yvliich may appease conflicts between capital and labor, through wise compromises acceptable to both; and whilst capital has rights which we should seek not to is entitled to earliest consideration, for it is the parent of wealth, Jt is tho bono aud sinew of the laud, |Great applause.] It is laborious work to attempt the reorganization of a party and to create jts necessary machinery. For two months every thought of my brain lias •been monopolized, every energy of my mind and body directed to the accom plishment of tliut object. The sincerity of my motive should avert criticism, and if there have been errors of omis sion or commission, they should be overlooked, for the spring of my action has been the intent to do right, and aid iu the preservation of tho party and the perpetuation of its principles, as the sole hope for the future of our country. [Great applause. (. And now, gentlemen, weary as I am in mind aud body, there is an absolute sensation of relief th*t I can terminate my self-imposed duties and abdicate my functions. [Great ap plause. ] At tho close of liis speech, Colonel Duncan nominated Levi S. Chatfield, of New York, as temporary Chairman. Cheers followed. Three cheers wero also given for Duucau. Cliattield was unanimously chosen. Spaulding, of New York; Lyons, of Virginia, and Wlioaton, of Michigan, were appointed a committee to conduct Chatfield to the Chair, Chatfield, on reaching the platform, said : Gentlemen of the Convention: It is my first duty, as it is my sincere pleasure, to tender you my hearty thanks for this compliment of my selection. He said the circumstances calling us to gether, the crisis of the Democratic party, stricken down in the house of its friends, call for our careful con sideration and the application of such remedies as are in pur power. Ho learned his political school of Jackson, Madison and Jefferson, and he never had seen the time when he desired to aban don it for any heresy. As long as the Democratic party was true to its princi ples the people of the United States were true to the party. [Applause.] It only lost its power when their tendency to centralization got con trol. He had no doubt that if the party had not been ’ sold out and cloven down at the Baltimore Conven tion, the Democratic party would have surely triumphed in the approaching contest. Their assumed representatives sold out the party to the uld white hat aud coat, for, let me tell you, that is all there is of him. [Applause. ] The speak er denied that delegates had any right to transfer him or his hearers to the Re publican party or Greeley [applause], and wo are here to see if we can’t correct that transaction. We owe thanks to Cols. Duncan, Flanders, and others who were present at that scene and protested against the sale and transfer then and there attempted. He was a Democrat — born one, aud would always be one ; aud if he was the last remaining man here, he would wrap the old flag around him and lay him down to die therein. [Cheers.] Col. Duncan moved that William M. Terry, of Michigan, he appointed tem porary Secretary. Carried. Mr. Spaulding, of New' York, present ed a sealed letter from Charles O’Conor, amid rousing cheers, which were repeat ed for O’Conor. Spaulding handed it to the Chairman. o'ooxor’s letter. New York, August 31. To the Democratic National Conven tion, appointed to assemble at Louis ville, St ptember 3d, 1872: Gents— A representative Democracy must necessarily degenerate in practice and become at last intolerably mis chievous, donating, if its official corps be allowed to wield, without effectual restraint, those powers correctly denom inated legal, by which, from the very be ginning and in every clime, civil society almost invariably hitherto has been made the prey of its rulers. When founding our institutions, the fathers were impressed with this belief, and in order to curb the tendency of power to aggrandize itself, they introduced regula tions of unexampled complexity, reject ing two fundamental bases of the pre existing system. They yet adopted the English policy of cheeks and bal ances. However useful it may he in a land of three estates—Kings, Lords and Commons —experience has shown that this policy is inadequate to the maintainance of public order where absolute equality is recognized. With us it has proven exceedingly mischievous, bv its enormous multiplying of offices. Alone it affords no permanently effectual restraint upon power. To the inquiry, how such a restraint can be imposed in our oountry, politicians have responded, “by the virtue and intelligence of the people. ” But this is a delusive hope. Laborious attention, constant watchful ness and combined action are necessary t o practicable results, and are unattain able. If our people were placed upon ste rile soil, their perpetual hand to hand con.‘bet fc.r subsidy with niggard nature might qualify them for resistance to the official plunder. Their poverty wonld diminish this temptation aud invigorate their defense ; but in a great and pros perous country such popular guardian ship cannot be had, aud the only efficient protet :tion against official misrule is in totally prohibiting those powers which cannot be effectually regulated by law. This fact was asserted in the public councils which gave birtli to our Con stitution, but its recognition was pre vented by a want of prior human ex perience under a just system of govern ment. History furnished no precise parallels, and consequently the pat riotism which saw and appointed the right was unable to prove its statement or main tain an argument by convincing illustra tions. Failing to engraft upon the writ ten law the limitations deemed neces sary, the Democratic fathers sought a practical establishment of them by ad vocating strict construction. This doc trine was never thoroughly enforced by any party, and is now totally disregard ed. Hence our presentpolitieal position. Far-reaching changes are needed to obviate its evils, and it is only by such changes that we can successfully inau gurate the second stage in that grand social reform which was initiated by the fathers, A free and enlightened people, with capacities matured under tlio influ ence of their experience, wo can now de tect and remedy those defects in their glorious though unfinished work which experience has developed. They laid the foundation. Upon us is devolved the duty of completing the superstructure. The enormous growth of official maladministration in tliiscity am\State, which was brought to light during the last year, invited good men to action. The discoveries made afforded an oppor tunity of stiring the general mind to persistent effort for reform. Tho oppor tunity was improved and, except so far as disturbed by the inopportune recur rence of a Presidental canvass, the cur rent sentiment has ever since moved steadily in the right direction. The desire has been extensively enter tained that this movement, originat ing in the nation’s metropolis, should he permitted to run its natural course, draw into harmony with itself the honest masses throughout our coun try, and thereby lead to the estab lishment of efficient, self-sustaining and permanent harriers against preva lent evils. Facts, however, warrant an apprehension that the pending conflict for control of the Federal power has broken in upon the tendency to re form, aud may completely reverse it. Governmental intermeddling with those concerns of society which, under judi cious laws, might beneficially be left to individual action, is the only real evil actually developed in our system.— This eminence is assigned to it because it is the fruitful parent of all others existing, and because tho measures re quired to correct it are precisely those which would exterpate the unrestrainable powers now mischievously exercised by our officials. If, instead of prohibiting or diminishing this vicious practice, our people should impart to it new sanctions and greater vitality, reform must become impossible. Now of this practice, above all other living Ameri cans, Greeley is the recognized cham pion, and no body of organized opponents to it has ever existed in the country, except the Democratic party. Yet, by the decree of a convention assuming to represent that party, Greeley has been gazetted as its standard-bearer. Oppo sition to that proceeding has, in my mind, a far deeper source than mere attachment to party. At least, that I am not uuduly influenced by that senti ment, may appear by measures adopted against tho recently detected municipal defaulters. In organizing the forces employed, equal opportunities for purging itself from complicity, wero afforded all political parties and every class. Thus innocence has been shielded from the discredit of evil asso ciations inadvertently formed, official villainy stands literally defenseless un der actual or impending judgment, and all honest men in this great city and State are united as a brotherhood for common defense. Aside, then, from party sentiment, my views of puhlifl interest and existing public necessities compel mo to repu diate the Baltimore nomination of Gree ley. Whenever speaking or writing on the subject, I have uniformly con demned it, and declared rny readi ness to support a Democratic candi date. This circumstance has led to a supposition in some quarters that I had aspirations to office, and it has been suggested that my name might ho offered to your acceptance ns a can didate. The object of this letter is to avoid misapprehension on these points. If compelled to decide between Grant and Greeley as candidates for the Presi dency, the Democratic elector must rely very much upon mere conjecture. Those inclining to the latter as a elioioe of evils, suggest that mitigation of op pressions at tho South would result from his success. There may, however, he equal ground to hope that good will result in Pithor issue of this rival ry. Ougg liis second term zljUlt hflve been secured, Gen. Grant's only motive for inflicting misery on that portion of his countrymen will cease. An effort to secure a third term or establish a dicta torship cannot reasonably he apprehend ed, and consequently comparison of probabilities offers ns merely g blank olympied on ono hand, or four yoars of unilefinable activity on the other. That wise people, whose usages we have generally followed, had occasion to pass through a transitional period somewhat similar to that now affecting Southern interests. In their action at that time ive could find safe precedents for a course of policy which would promptly reinstate Southern prosperity; but if there he one among the master spirits pf the age who, even if inclined, could uot adopt that policy, it is Greeley. The success of Gen. Grant might involve no important consequences, but that of Greeley would consecrate practices re ferred to which, in my opinion, are absolutely incompatible with tho per manence of republican institutions.— In saying this, it is not simply to pronounce for anti-protectionist ideas; that question is left untouched. If sup port of homo industry against foreign competition is regarded as sound policy, it can he effected as far as needful by much simpler, less expensive, and a far less demoralizing process than our ovor grown customs establishment. The true policy is national regeneration. It is far more comprehensive than mere free trade. Its aim is to break the sceptre of trading politicians and emancipate the masses. Four-fifths of Governmental in tervention now practiced in carrying on the affairs of society should ho dis pensed with. Existing indebtedness should, indeed, ho held sacred, and to the last cent faithfully redeemed, but the power of borrowing money on pub lic credit, either by paper issues or oth erwise, should he absolutely annulled. Neither the Federal Government or any other, down to the smallest civil division of a State, should possess such power. It is inconsistent with tho perpetuity of free republican institutions; it is the very life-blood of aristocratic rule, for it makes labor as tho bond slave of capital. In modern times it furnishes a limitation indispensable to war. Without that the most shocking of all national crimes and calamities would he impossible. Such comprehensive advances in civiliza tion as are here suggested may be as yet impracticable in the old wcwld. If so, the fact only proves that ours is the high and holy mission of first making them. Separated by a wide ocean from any powerful nation, mighty in numbers and intelligence, our people having a deep and abiding interest in their coun try’s welfare, no external enemy dare assail us. Indeed, it is manifest to un perverted reason that the adoption of efficient curbs upon offioiol power is alone needed to render this great conti nent the abode of peace and of human happiness on a scale of surpassing magnitude. Even if defensivo wars ho necessary, the evils of the power of borrowing money should not be conceded on that account. It must he admitted that they cannot ho carried on without vast out lays ; hat money is not more necessary than men. As' the generation -which wages war must furnish a warrior, why can it not also furnish money to feed, clothe and arm him ? It is compelled to furnish all the labor connected with his maintainance and his belligerent operations. Posterity cannot fight our battles, nor is there any necessity that posterity should pay the cost of tlfem. Our own young men must do the fight ing. It is equally in the power of our old men to do the paying. Pay as you go is a maxim not less sound in politi cal economy than in private affairs. If adapted peculation must cease to per vert government, war could no longer lend legal sanction to cruelty and op pression ; and if, as some contend, war is the normal condition of mankind, posterity will have its own wars to sus tain ; and it is, therefore, unreasonable to burden posterity with debt for the cost of ours. Deeply interested in suppressing these ideas, the rulers of the people will of course treat them with derision. Still it might suffice for the present thus to submit them nakedly on their own merits and without detailed vindication, j Although their principle is already ac-; cepted in substance by some Western : States in recent constitutions, their ad vocacy must in the main be deferred un til the facts and fables of the pending canvass shall have ceased to engross i attention. A few brief suggestions will j nevertheless be offered. I The power to borrow money is mis chievous jnst in proportion as the Gov ernment is liberal in form and as the nation is prosperous. The very consti tution of human nature precludes any effectual regulation of it. In a mon archy there may he some supervision, hut in a Republic the tendency to abuse is absolutely incorrigible. No human skill can devise, or human diligence put in force adequate checks upon its exer cise. If allowed to exist at all, it must inevitably lie abused, and abuse must progress to an extent absolutely in tolerable, The mere burden of taxation induced by it is the least evil among its foul progeny. Fraud and corruption become virtues under its influence— statuesto he set upas objects of popular reverence, and similar honors have been proposed for its cultivation, aud if it he not extirpated, will hereafter be decreed to them. Government, restrained with in the limits of absolute necessity, may bo supported by moderate taxation. Still, the nature and amount of taxes im posed should always he patent; they slionld be plain, visible and palpable. Deceitful and fraudulent methods which have been devised to draw money from the pockets of the people, witlioiit their being conscious of imposition, should he abolished. Duties and excises for reve nue belong to this class. Such furtive methods of obtaining money should he known through prosecutions against criminals. It is asserted that the diffi culty of sustaining the Government under such a system is unreal. The public expenses need not he great, and tho necessity of raising all revenue by taxation at the moment of expenditure or before it is susceptible to be utilized and made a sonree of great public bene fit. However truthful it may be in a certain view of tho matter, that all taxes are ultimately home by tlio laboring class, they are nevertheless in tho first instance collected from those who possess property, and if by uniform usages every tVillar re quired for tho expenses of Govern ment should be at onco exacted from the tax payers, a powerful class would be enlisted in the duty of guarding against official extravagance. Govern ment mortgages upon labor, tho most safe and desirable of investments, would cease, aud in their place affrighted capi talists could contemplate only the ap proaching tax gatherers. In self-defense they would then perform a public duty hitherto neglected. Legislative corrup tion would he effectively opposed under their keen scrutiny. No man, whose record was tainted, could pass tho ordeal of election. Long and patient study has convinced me that on the practicability of estab lishing precisely this popular surveil lance rests the last hope of our Re public. Paternal government is not necessarily mischievous in a monarchy, hut iu a Re public, based upon universal suffrage, it cannot fail to foster innumerable evils. It is, in fact, the sum of all villainies. A government which devotes some of its powers to putting money in men’s pock ets must employ others in extortion. The policy involves a continuous case of rapine and favoritism. My deep aversion to all these things has induced me to encourage the move men which you represent, and doubtless my name will be presented for your con sideration as a nominee. In that event, I beg leave respectfully to withdraw it. The strongth and emphasis which have marked the language employed by some gentlemen in addressing mo on this sub ject must he my excuse for saying what follows. Success should, of course, ho the object. In the present condition of affairs other leadership will afford a better prospect of attaining it, Choioe can be made from mafiy equally reliable as reformers, probably more capable of public office, aud yet less likely to combine formidable elements of opposi tion. I could not consent to subscribe to a platform containing either a pro fession of faith or a recantation of errors and a promise of amendment. The existing practice requires this, and that practice may not be abruptly set aside, save of that absolute independence which can hardly bo’ maintained in publio office. A desire to promote your success instead of impeding it, and a belief that I can thus best perform the individual citizen’s quota of public ser vice, have created in my mind an un alterable resolve to remain in private station, Youys, truly, Charles O’Oonob. Mr. O’Oonor's letter was referred to the Committee on Platform. Committee on Credentials —New York, Van Allen ; South Carolina, Stokes ; Pennsylvania, Jacobs ; Maryland,. Sack ett ; Delaware, Brown ; Ohio, High ; Michigan, Wheaton ; Georgia, Ramsey; Illinois, Hanley; Indiana, Ri’annan ; Kansas, Brooks.; Wisconsin, Kennett ; lowa, Heaver; Missouri, Williams; Ken tucky, Qerger; Tennessee, Parish; North Carolina, Troul; West Virginia, Vance; California, Bryant; New Jersey, Potter; Mississippi, Price ; Virginia, Bethuno ; Nebraska, Brook ; Alabama, Nesmith. No other State responded, The confusion, wlrieh tho Chair was unable to check, made it impossible to hear the proceedings. When California was called, Bryant, of New Jersey, read his authority from the Democratic Committee of that State to represent it. Upon motion of Bayard, he was allow ed to represent that State. Pending the call of the States, Vallan digham, of Kentucky, moved that the Convention adjourn to the 20tli of No vember, when cries of “put him out.” Vallandigham's friends olaim that liis motion was a practical joke. The Committee on Permanent Organ ization consists of ono from each State. Twenty-four States are represented. Bayard, of Now Jersey, represents Cali fornia In this committee. The Convention took a recess to half past 4 o’clock. After reassembling, a friend apolo gized for Vallandigham, who thereupon was excused and resumed liis seat. The Oommitte on Credentials asked time; which was granted. The Chairman of the Committee on Credentials made an informal report that there was entire harmony in the body. Nobody contested for a single seat. Ferry, of Michigan, reported from the Committee on Permanent Organization for President, James Lyons, of Virgi nia; Vice-President, Richards, of Illi nois, and one from every State repre sented. Mr. Bayard, of New Jersey, who also represents California, moved that Blan ton Duncan be first Vice-President. Adopted. Mr. Lyons, of Virginia, when con ducted to the Chair, ridiculed the Gree ley party as a Dolly Varden party. A Committee on Resolutions was ap pointed. A motion to add a Labor delegate from New York to the Resolutions Commit tee caused great coufusion. The Chairman refused to entertain any motion, and upon motion, tho Conven tion adjourned to 9 o’clock to-morrow. THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION. Charles O’Conor Nominated for Pres ident By Acclamation—His Letter Made the Platform—John Quincy Adams for Vice-President—Oeorge Francis Train Turned Out. New York, September 4. — The Times' Louisville special says tho Committee on Resolutions have decided to make O’Conor’s letter the platform and to recommend his nomination by acclama tion. The Herald special says Fitch, of In diana, is working hard for the nomina tion if O’Conor cannot be induced to stand. Louisville, September 4. — The morn ing was fine and the Convention full. It is generally understood that O’Con or’s nomination is determined upon, with his own letter and record as the only platform of principles. Members say they are holding him hound to permit the use of his name to give practical force to their protest against the Baltimore coalition and sur render of Democratic principles. Later. —Charles O’Conor was nomi nated by acclamation. Louisville, September 4. —A telegram from Charles O’Conor in reply to the notification of his nomination urges the selection of someone else and leave him to private life. At the same time he declares his nnalterability and fidelity to and sympathy with tho Louis ville movement. As he fails to say in positive terms that he will not accept it is construed as an indication that he will accept if the Convention still insists. Ohio cast four votes for Pendleton and refused to change them. Beyond this the vote was unanimous. George Francis Train made some pro- : tests, but was seated—Duncan saying i he was there by courtesy and not as a j delegate. He was expelled, amid great hissing. Amid confusion, the Chair announced the vote to he for O’Conor, 600, and Pendleton, 4. A letter wa3 read from John Quincy Adams announcing that he would sup port O’Conor and accepting the second place on the ticket. Adams was nominated for Vice-Presi dent upon the third ballot. Thumb and Fingers Bit Off. New Yoke, September 3.—James Frame bit off the thumb and fingers of Herman Lipkin ip a fight last night. Lipkin threw a glass tumbler at Frame, fracturing his skull. Both were arrest ed Frame will die. When taken to | the station, Frame, who was crazy, was j found drinking blood, which was co piously flowing from his fractured head. I Terrible Indian Massacre. Topeka, August 31.—The Common wealth has the following startling In dian news from Colorado: “ E. 11. Stan ley, of Fort Lamed, arrived in this city last evening from Denver. He reports that on Monday last train, consisting of 36 muled teams, loaded ! with army supplies for Fort Lyon, was j proceeding along Dry Creek between | Carson City and Fort Lyon, Colorado, ! under the command of' Stevo Bryan. ' wagon master, and while in the valley of j of Dry Creek, the train was mired in the sand. While thus detained, a hand of I 200 Araplioe warriors, under command of their chief, Little Raven, made an at- J tack which equals in outrage and ferocity ■ any annals of Indian massacre. The,! wagons were burned and all the contents': that could be carried off were taken. j The mules were run off and fifteen men belonging to the train were left wound ed or dead on the bloody held. Mr. Bryan was skinned alive from head to foot by the savages. Besides these, fifteen men were blissing. They are supposed to have been carried into captivity. The train was under the escort of Lieutenant McTarlane, of the 6th United States Cavalry, with one hundred men, but being nine miles in the rear at the time of the massacre, no protection could bo afforded. Mr. Stanley was with the escort, and when it arrived at the terrible scene, the savages were just retiring over the hill beyond, whirling their tomahawks find shouting in mad glee over their ill-gotten gains. The Border Troubles. New Orleans, September 2.— The Nneces Valley stock raisers who have been giving important information be fore the Border Commissioners left yesterday. Fears aro entertained that they will bo attacked by Mexican out laws, a conspiracy to that effect having, been discovered. The aggregate claims before tho ‘ committee are reported at over eight millions. Tho general opin ion is that a searching investigation has been made of the troubles on the lower Rio Grande, and satisfaction is expressed at the general result. Anxiety exists among the Texans to learn the proposed line of action of the United States Gov ernment regarding those claims. The Commissioners left to-day for Rio Grande City by steamer, to make personal ex aminations of localities, cattle depreda tions and further official inquiry. General Cortina has issued circulars addressed to the people of both fron tiers denying complicity in tho cattle thefts, and appealing to their general good opinion, and he charges General Palacios, recently commander at Mata moras with making an unfounded report on his conduct. He is very indignant towards General McCook and the United States Consul at Matamoras for their efforts to procure his dismissal from command of tho line of Riobravo. Cathedral on Fire. London, September 3, noon.—A dis patch from Canterbury reports a fire just broken out over the altar in the eastern end of tho magnificent Cathe dral of that town, and the flames are' spreading rapidly. Tho firemen are on the ground, but no water can be obtain ed to throw upon the burning edifice. Canterbury, 3, 1 p. m.—The flames have perfect hold on the eastern end of tho roof of Canterbury Cathedra], and over the altar and shrine -of Thomas A. Beckett. The direction of the wind is favorable to the spread of fire, and it is feared tho entire structure will be de stroyed: The utmost excitement pre vails in the town. A supply of water has fortunately been obtained, and tho firemen, assisted by the entire garrison of Canterbury, are making every effort to saw: the sacred building from total destruction. The fire originated from the accidental upsetting of a charcoal furnace which was being used by some workmen who were repairing tho load roof of the Cathedral. Later. —The fire in tho Cathedral has been extinguished. The firemen ob tained control of the flames shortly be fore noon, and at twelve-thirty o’clock they were suppressed. The engines, however, are still playing on the build ing. About one hundred and fifty feet of the roof was completely destroyed.. 'Everything that could possibly bo moved was got out of tho Cathedral before the firemen commenced to pour water on it. It is hoped that when a thorough ex amination is made, it will ho found that the damage is not as serious as now ap pears. London, September 3, night.—Addi tional dispatches from Canterbury report that tho fire in the Cathedral lies boon completely extinguished. The shrine of Thos. A. Beckett has not been injured. The Mosaic pavement of tho Cathedral is covered with melted lead. Tho altar was deluged with water. The interior of the edifice is filled with smoke. It has been tho habit for the past three hundred years to hold religious services in the Cathedral daily. This custom was not broken by the fire, as services were held after the suppression of the flames. THE Public Library OF KENTUCKY. SECOND GRAND GIFT CONCERT. Day of the Drawing Fixed. O No* Postponement from Sept. 28th. TO THE PUHLIC : Tho Trustees of the Public Library of Kentucky, being satisfied from the large sale of tickets already made, and tho daily increasing demand for them, and that there will be no occasion for post poning tho second drawing in tho Gift Concert in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky, have instructed me, as their Agent and Manager of the Gift Concert, to say to the public and ticket-holders that the drawing will positively take place on SEPTEMBER 28th, proximo, and will not be postponed. An active demand for tickets comes from every State and Territory of the United States, and from the Canadas, giving assurance to the Trustees that no circumstances can prevent a drawing at the appointed time. A sufficient clerical force is engaged to keep up with the orders for tickets, and in order that this office may bo re lieved of the immense pressure incident to the business for the Week or two im mediately preceding the drawing, agents especially, and those desirous of pro curing tickets, are requested to send in their orders immediately, as sales will have to be closed in time to rrtake the necessary preparations for the drawing. It is the wish of the management to fill every order for a ticket, as well as to sell all the tickets, but those who apply first must first be supplied ; and if those who put off buying until sales are closed have their money returned instead of the tickets ordered, as in the first Gift Con cert in December last, when thousands of dollars that came too late were sent back, they will have none to blame but themselves.
