The Radicals of the Middle Chancery Division of Alabama have nominal- 1 Chancellor Turner, of Selma, for re daction. The Shrevepirt Telegram says that measures aie being t ikon to complete the railroad gap between Monroe, La., and 8hr<*veport within eighteen months. The Eufanla Times says that two of the three Radical candidates for the Legisla ture in Barbour county, Ala., are known and recognized us thieves, and one of them is now on trial for inoendiarism. The Montgomery Adtcrtiscr of yes terday says: “Great eiciternont prevails at Munford, Talladega county, over the disoovery of a silver mine, fivo miles from that place, said to be very productive.” The platform of the Democracy of Teni a«aee—adopted by the State Conven tion at Nashville, whioh nominated James D. Por er for Governor on Thursday — favora paying the 3-20 bonds in green backs, and the abolition of the Protec tive Tariff. It was adopted unanimously. Several large landowners of East B<ton Rouge ami Carroll pari«ho», Lou h- iana, advomao that they will lease to re- apectable white citizens of othor States Buoh portions of their lands as they will occupy and cultivate, free of charge ex cept payment of taxes, for five years. The lau(|M are said to bo among the best io tbe State. The Democratic Convention of the Second Congressional District met in Al bany on Thursday, and on tho 30th bal loting nominated Hon Wui. E. Smith, of Dou^hetty, by tho following vote: Smith 30; A. D. Tannor, of Brooks, 4 ; E. B. Kenuon. of Clay, 8- The utmost con fidence is felt in tho dofent of Whitely in this District. Vice Phebidi nt Wilson has spoken on the third te:m question, and his senti ments are doubt leht* shared by uearly a 1 the old Republican loudens of the North. He has declared to an iuterviewer his be lief that Gen. Grant d >es not waut to run •giin, and he siys posi ivoly that if again nominated by tho Republicans ho would be beaten, and that he (Wilson) would not support him. The delegates from the counties com posing the Southern Chancery Division h Id a side meeting in Montgomery Friday, and nominated Bun Lime Posey, of Mobile, for Chancellor. Everybody knows Ben Lane, but wo suppose that few have known him ns a ltadical. Every recruit to Radicalism in the South stops into the par :y a full-flegod candidate for ofiloe. The Savannah New* publishes a circu lar from a prominent Arm of Louisville, Ky., in whicti’Uiey state that tho parties in Chicago and Cincinnati who got up the 1 ito “corner” in tuoou are now weak, and find themselvis uo<tr tho close of the Benson with heavy stocks ou bund. Tho Circular express' 8 tho opinion that dealers and consumers ut the South oan force u 'decline I y withdrawing and withholding orders for ?lic present. A Washington rpeoial of tho 17th inst. to the Louisville Courier Journal says: “There is now no attempt at couooalmeut on the part of tho fiiouds of Gen. Giant that he hHB determined to ruu fur a third term, if he has any satisfactory assurance of success. It is now said, by those who a e iu a position to know, that ouo of tbe principal reasons of his secluding himself at Long Branch is that ho may preserve muro than ever that silence which bss hitherto proven so successful a policy with him.” Dubino the Friday evening session of the Radical Statu Convention at Mont gomery, a white man whom tho News calls Sloan a ul, »n 1 the State Journal dubs Slonaher or Stonaker, rose and said : “I am ins: uct \1 to state in the name aud by the author.ty of Ge i. Graut, that Repub lican^ shall be protected iu their rights and libetties fr on ku-kluxistu and vio- len e, even if it tout; the whole United States army.” Tho State Journal say- that tlis wee “very impud nt and foolish” talk. But wo fi d a g >od deal very much like it in the State Journal every now and then. We notice by a late dispatch frun Washington, ilia' the Radica’s of Louisi ana aie daily stniiug to the Attorney Oeueral of ths United States accounts of pretend-d outrages on the negroes of that State. Borne of them aro ridiculous in their extmv.tgauco and atrocity. The ol jict is p'ain. It is to pio;-ure tho send ing of Federal troops to Louisiana to di -cour ge the whites. These fruutio appeals prove one thing beyond d >ul>t: the Loi.i-iana Radicals know that they are going to be be.iten unless they can get Feder.l intern nlion to help them and lb s though they control all the mu ebinery of tne .'-t>te Government and that of most of the parishes, nnd though G Kellogg has r^fm-e 1 to allow the Demo- orats ai y reptasentution in the election boards. The Augusta Chronicle publishes letters from Ridge Spring, S. C., which, while they report the lestoratioa of quiet at that place by the submixsion of the ne groes, show- a e'ate of feeling there and aLewhtre in South Carolina that may at any time lei d to bloody conflicts. The trouble arose, as usual in such cases, from inflammatory appeal* to the negroes by low white men who want office at their ba>-d*. Oueof th-se white men, MoDevitt byname, is said to have told the negroes at Ridge Spring, in a apeech, that they could *nd ought to whip tbe whites, and that they ought to divide iuto two parties -—one to fight the men And the other to klltbawomeu and child *aa. That fel low was musing, as usual with his class, whan the whi'ea begun to gather to meet the de uded negroes. The negroes were terrified bv the arrival of a small party of (Georgians from Augusta, and promised to bring in and surrender their arms. Buf it was Raid that McDevitt bad gone to Columbia to get help for the negroes, and there was much excitement and gathering of met at other places. This state of things is not promising of pcsce. One or two of the ringleaders at Itidge Spring wore arrested and committed to jail. ALAR UtA RAlTllALIPBI. Our dispatches give all the nominations and other notion of tho Radical State Convention at Montgomery. We thought were very modest, the other day, in putting in a claim for one negro nominee on the State ticket; hut evon this was de nied them. The class that do tho voting of the party arc denied evon one candi date on the State ticket! And as if to make this indignity as aggravating as pos sible, tho Civil Rights hill is ignored, and Alex. White and C. C. Sheets, two of its hitter opponent, aro nominated for Congressmen at Large. To carry the coming State election, the Radicals of Alabama must poll at least ninety thou sand votes, and the negroes must cast fully eighty thousand of these. But they mly permitted the privilege of voting, not tho right to tho office;, of tho party. Most of thorn will glory in this, and thank God they are not dependent on tbe gen erosity of the Democrats in political mat ters. But there are a few, inoro intelli gent, who cannot fail to see tho indignity and injustice done to their race, as well the trick, by which I ho few whites aro < abled to perpetrato it; and perhaps some of those may mako things lively f< ticket nominated in thin surreptitious manner. The tickot nominated being, with one exception, the saruo as the last, tho people have tho official record of the nominees for tho paat two years before them, and can judge from that how they are likely to admiuihtcr tho affairs of tho State in the futuro, if elected. How have they boon administered? Tho State has, under their management, approached fearfully near tho gulf of bankruptcy, and canno* pay the yearly interest on the bonded debt for which it is liable ; hut the tuxes have boon h'gh—so high that vast amounts of The property of tho people aro yearly advertised for sale to pay them. Tho great majority of those who have no property to sell, and who do not want to pay tuxes, evade their payment altogether, for the State will not rosort to tho only efficient way of making thorn pay—by denying them a voice in the management of the government uiiIokh they share also in its duties and expenses. Tho credit of tho State is ruinously below par, its bonds bringing scarcely half their nominal value iu tho markets of tho world. The last Legislature resorted to a forced loan, by compelling creditors to takn now State “obligations" at par for their claims, and now those “obligut ons” or certiflcatos of dohtodnusH are at a discount thirty per cent. Justice is admin istered with a looseness never before known in tho State, or in any oilier State of which we have any knowl edge—criminals being allowed to run ai largo “on their own recognizance” uutil tried, which amounts simply to allowing them the choice to como to triul or not, just as they please.' Aud this is the kind •: Statu Government which the people of Alabama aro asked by the Radical party to continue for two years longer. They have been led to tho edge of tho preci pice, and now they aro asked to jump Will they take the Huici- dal leap ?—that’s tho question. There is onoolmugo iti tho State ticket. Georgo Turner is substituted for Bon Gaultier for Attorney General. Wo do not know what Ben has boon doing to of fend tho party, unless it ho that he is committed to the support of tho Civil Rights bill, and that millstone was too groat a load for him to carry. Another nomination is that of Adam Felder for Supremo Judge—rathor they propose to promote him fiom tho Chancery to the Supreme bench. All thnt wo havo to say about this nomination is, that if any ono in Montgomery (where he lived) had aori ous'y suggested before tho war that Adam Folder would ever reach ovou tho Circuit Bench, ho would have boon laughed ut as tho stupidest dolt that ever expressed an opinion on such matters. But tho pooplo of Alabama aro around this time, and no such ticket as this, with its oxporicnco iu rutiuing tho State Gov ernment for tho last two yours, can pre vail again. A dean sweep is what tho Democrats and Conservatives of Alabama d to enable them to rescue their Stato from its spoilers aud arrest its rapid pro gress to destruction ; aud thut “dean reop” thoy arc going to make iu Novem ber next. 1*. 8.—The mail accounts advise us of io other change in tho Stato tickot.

Y., August 16, 1874. To the Editor of the Courier-Journal: I vo io -eived a copy of tho Moutgomery (Al i.) News, containing au article by Col. Robert Tyler upon an alleged speech of mine concerning Jofftrson Davis. That peach m u foigury. Not only did I nev- ir utter or write any such miser«hle stuff, tnit tho world knows that while many were uiuoriug for some suer flee or victim, I everywhere and al*a\8 opposed, with ease earnestness, tho she tding of a drop f blood, uud resisted, with all my rnigli tho it flnoucuH wlrch sought tho execution of JtffoiHou Davis. It is not tlio first sh unutul forgery upon mo that has been circulated in tho South and West. I am so heartily desirous of tho re-e-dahlish- ment of good will between all who have butn alienated, aud I so much value the g u»d will of my fellow-oitizeus of tho South, that I step aside fro u my usual course and make a reply to this slander. 1 aui, very truly, vours, Henry Ward* Beecher. —Tho Comptroller-Geuer.il furnishes tho following figures, without vouching for their corioctuoss : Number acres iu notion 1,330,704$; corn 1,568.495; wheat r co Hi 957$; rye 35,331$; bar- ley 4,537; oats 1,2118,815$; sweet potatoes 76J57 ; Irish potatoes 2,389} ; tobaco * 5ti5$; sugar cane ti,8(»9$; sorghum 4.930$; clover 12,312}; viueyards 449; orchards 91,974}; pOAUUts 18,724}; sheep 358.415; ho^s 748,905; horses aud mules 151,041; c ittlo 447.204; cotton factories 2.'; spin- •- s 93.033; woolen fao orios 20; tqrndles 430; carding machines 94; iron furnaces and foundries 7.

An Interesting Question.—The Athens Watchman says that a question of much local iuterrst was decided by Judge Rice, of th« Superior Court, last week. It grew out of the exemption of cortain stocks and bonds—at tout $750,000 worth of property—by the authorities of Ath ens. Judge Uioe held that the Council had no right to discriminate in favor of or agiiuat any particular speoies of prop erty, and granted the mandamus to com pel the Msyor and Counoil to levy and colie t the tax in question according to the requirement! of the law.

Ono-third of the Convention is made up of Mobile Custom House officers and Poslmnsters, and by many more who brought up proxies. Spencer, Hays and White ruu the Con vention entirely, and the fund appropri ated by Congress for tho relief of the overflowed districts on tho Alabama and Warrior rivers is to be used as the cam paign funds, and great expectations are based on it. , Big crops havo been made, and there is no destitution in Alabama, and no need for Fodornl bacon and greenbacks. five platforms are presented—federal troops threatened—the convention CENSURES THE STATE JOURNAL. Montgomery, August 22.—Tho Radical Convention had received up to 1:80 p. m, live platforms. The committeo has time to report. It is bolievod the committee will either ignore or denounce Sumner bill. Stoneckcr, Government mail transporta tion agent, from Louisiana, said in speech lost afternoon that President Grant had nuihoiizod him to say that, if neces sary to protect tho Republicans, Alabama would bo flooded with Federal troops. He said nothing about protection to the Democrats. Tho iinuouncemoiit was re ceived with groat applauso; but the State Journal (Republican paper) commontud severely ou it, aud this morning tho Con vention, l>y a unauimous vote, censured tho Journal.

Ra pier, col., was renominated by acclamation. Tho Couvoution was a stir and bustle. Great excitement prevailed, and fears of a serious difficulty wero at ono time en- tertaiued. Bustccd’s friends wore sanguine of suc cess to the last, but thoy gave it up with out placing his naiuo before the Conven tion. John Ard, of Dale, was nominated a member of tho Board of Education. J. V. McDuffie, of liowndes, was made Chairman of tho Distriot Executive Com mitteo. The Convention adjourned sine die at (1:30. All quiet. BEECHER-TILTON. MORE OF THE STUFF. New York, August 22.—Private letters were printed iu tho Graphic by photo graph, uud arefac similes. A motiou iu Plymouth Church, that only members be uduiiitcd when the Commit toe reports, was tabled. The prayer mooting wns packed. NEW YORK PRESS ON MOULTON’S STATEMENT —“herald'' thinks crush no ; THE OTHERS THAT IT ADDS NOTHING NEW. New York, August 22.—Tho Tii refuses to publish tho statements of Moulton, as it cannot see that it throws any new light on tho dismal uffair to whioh it relates. The World says: “Not one item of ac tual evidence or trustworthy testimony has boeu brought forth by Moulton which adds a new difficulty or inconsistency to tho explanation already put forth by Beecher in his narration and cross-exami nation.” Tho Herald, iu conclusion of a long ar tide, says: “We faiu would have be lieved tho great clergyiusu had nevor fal len. We would faiu believe it now, if we could see any possible way by which he could escape out of tho meshes which bind him. Moulton, pressed to speak by the onslaughts of Beecher and Beeoher’a friends, has spoken at last, and pained as we are at the result, we cannot disregard the fact that tbe Plymouth pastor is crushed, unless this terrible wituess against him can be »hown to he a monster of villaiuy, duplic ity aud falsehood.” Too Sun says : Moulton produces uoth ing that is equivalent to a coufession of adultery on the part of Beecher, and his explanation of the blackmailing features of the affair is not satisfactory. He shows, however, that up to tho very last moment; in faot, up to July 13th, 1874, long after Beecher discovered that he had been blackmailed, he was writing him letters of a most affectionate and confiding charao ter. We do not tee that this statement will change anybody's opinion upon the main question. , TILTON SUES FOB DAMAGES. Tilton has oousnenoed suit against Baaohar for antartaiaing improper rsta tion* with Elizabeth. Tie lays his damages at $100,000. It is Raid that Tilton is about to sue the World, Tribune, and Brooklyn Eagle, tor libel. ONE OF THE LETTERS—HEAVY CHARGES. Washington, August 22.—One of the most shamefully, shameless letters of Moulton’s contribution to tbe scandal con eludes: “Bye-bye," with stars for the sig nature. It is addressed to Elizabeth, and alludes to the odorous caresses which the writer, iu their preliminary stages, did not understand. The Star captions two broad pages thus: “Bad for Beecher.” Moulton’s statement is, that the pa. of Plymouth Church is charged with be ing a coward, liar, and adulterer. BEECHER TO SUE TILTON AND MOULTON FOB LIBEL. New York, August 22.—The Post says, editorially: “We are credibly informed that before Mr. Beecher left Brooklyn upon bin present journey to tbe White Mountains, he expressed his determina tion to bring suit, at all events, for libel against Tilton, and also against Moulton, in case of the publication like that which was made yesterday, final and decisve solution of the question whioh, until it is solved, causes many of Beecher’s best friends to doubt whether he is not occupying a false position in the pulpit and in society. We trust that he will not waver from bis de termination.” INDIAN WAR. THE INDIANS DECLARE WAR AGAINST KANSAS—THE GOVERNOR APPEALS FOR ARMS. Washington, Aug. 22.—Tho following telegram was received here to-day from Gov. Osborn, of Kansas : I have information, through Indian Agent Stubbs and other sources, that tho Osage tribe of Indians have, at n general council, declared war against this State, and depredations have already been com mitted by them on our Southern border. Tho State has but few arms, and tbe United States troops heretofore guarding tho line hoing now in the Iadian Territo ry, at a great distance from the Osage reservation, exposes the frontier settle ments of this State to groat danger. With arms, wo can defend our borders. Can you furnish me 2,(NX) carbines and accou trements and 100,000 cartridges on ac count of the State of Kansas ? The telegram has been referred to the War Department. PHILADELPHIA. THE DIAMOND nORDER ESCAPES WHILE EN ROUTE TO BF. SENTENCED. Philadelphia, August 22.—James Freeman was, this morning, brought into the Court of Quarter Sossious for sen tence for the diamond robbery in the storo of Clark, Robbins A Biddle, and made a successful attempt at escape. Ho suddenly leaped from tho (look and through a second story window iuto Inde pendence Square. He ran across Chest nut street and iuto the American Hotel, nnd through that building into Minor street, disappearing before the officers could got on his track. The fugi tive took exactly the same course, pur sued by Jimmy Hagesty, some years since, when escaping from the Court House, while in ous’ody in connection with tho attempted murder of revenue doteotivo Brooks. The affair caused quite a sensation this morning. Settler* Gain a Dig Law Salt.
