Trammell's friends are looking for ward to his being a candidate for Gover nor at the next election, but that his po sition on the bond question is not ganer- ally known; also that Col. J. H. W. Un derwood, of Borne, ia spoken of as Su preme Judge, to succeed the preaent in cumbent, McKay. Wx inadvertently neglected to mention in onr last that the Radicals of tlm First District of Georgia have nominated J. E. Bryant sb their oandidata tor Congress, Bload did not ask n ra-bomination, and tha negroes, who do the voting of tha party, knew that it wet nseleaa for them to claim the nomination for one of their own color; so the raee was between Bry ant, carpet bagger, and Wimberly, seal, and the vote atood—Bryant 88, Wifc- berly 8. Wx make onr acknowledgments for an Invitation to the third Grand Industrial Exposition at Louisville, Ky., which will open on the 1st of September and close on the 17ih of October next.

Rail roads will carry visitors at rodneed rates. A dau of new cotton, which was grown on land overflowed in the spring freehet, wea received at New Orleana Batnrday. This does not indicate that tho overflow waa any great baokset to the erop, though it was of course planted later. The Picayune mentions another remarkable feat in connection with the overflow. It says that the worme, which usually attack cotton of late planting, did not injurs the ootton in the overflowed ■eetioue this year; also that New Orleana baa had far fewer meeqnitoes than during former seasons. ALABAMA MADIGALMN ON Civil. KlUHTn. Below wo oopj the resolution adopted by the Alabama Uadieal State Con Tent ion on tUfi anbfect ef Civil HiThre|kor fo«| negroa* opposed it in toeeabos. At A let an dor White admOtiiHU|d the conven tion that the Civil Rights' agitation beat the Republicans in North Carolina and Tennessee; and Council (negro from North Alabama) told his race that if they would do nothing to injuro the party, In a abort time tho Civil Rights bill would beoome a law and every right and privi lege be granted to colored men. Under this kind of pressure opposition was si- lonced, and the resolution was adopted in the foil > ving form : 5. That we neither desire nor seek the InvMfoff bf the rights of the white people by the colored ; we only ask equal advan- tapes in matters of public and common right; and, in order that we may bo un derstood, and no fait# charges be made against ns, we hereby declare that the Re- fur the ohlurad people with thifwhtt e peo ple ; but they ask that in all of these the advantages shall be equal; we want no ftocUi equality enforced by law ; we re- oognize the fact that every home is sacred from intrusion, and that in a free coun try every one eatr dictateTor himself the line of social exclusion ; that society gov- arm itself by laws mono Inexorable man statute or common law, and opens or closes door# to whomsoever it will, and tbat>Ao oivii law eaa or should in vade it. It oannot be pretended that the laws of Alabama do not now gnArsntof to the ne groes everything demanded by the reso lution quoted above, with the qualifica tions which it makes. Then why wee it passed, if not simply to deceive the ne groes by a show of making a demand in thair behalf, when in reality they have all that is demanded ? The resolntion is intended to be con strued according to its literal meaning in counties having numbers of white Radi cals, the presumption being that they un derstand its terms and import; but tho ignorant negroes are to be doluded by the assurance that it promises thorn all that they desire. Connell, one of the leading negroes in the late “Equal Rights” Con vention at Montgomery-—one of the strongest supporters of the undiluted Civil Rights bill in that Convention—is satisfied with tho resolution copied above, and will tell his race that it oomes up to their demands. Even Busteed—who drew his pistol on the white man who wanted to expel his “servant” from the ladies' car—made no opposition to this resolution, and of oourse accepted it os good enough “Civil Rights” for him and hia man Friday. Bo we find a remarka ble harmony in the Convention—that had been so inharmonious in previous 6ft- cowlings—in agreeing upon a humoug. Wo shall see where it will land the party. SENATOR THURMAN ON THR SITUATION, — A reporter of the New Ysk Tribune sends that paper the following statement of the political views of Henator Thur- not entitled to redress except under arti cle twelve wf the $reaty of Washington. The Atuffney-GeMral is confident of re versing the decision in this case. - fidltor EufuirerSun: This year seems proliic is elections. In October we eleot members In the Legislature; in Novem ber, to Congress; in December the mu nicipal election takes place, and in Janu ary we choose county officers below that of Ordinary. Of course there will be plenty of candidates to fill all the various places two or three deep. Already the voters ate being touohed gently by the arm, taken aside and asked to pledge themselves. Now, what I wish to aay is, that the man who pledges himself at this stage of the game may, whan the day of balloting arrives, wish, that he had not thns tied himself. Some are saying to these worthy aspirants “I will vote for you if a better man does not come out.” This, I think a safe rule. Wait, then look over the whole field, and vote for the best men for all places of trust, from the highest to the lowest. Now, Mr. Editor, I wish to suggest a man for the office of Receiver of Tax Returns, a man who has served the Eighth District for the post fourteen years as Jnstic or Notary, faithfully, meeting out impartial justioo to all, with out distinction—a man well qualified, honest and upright in all his dealings, de serving, true and kind. We ask none to pledge, but to consider his claims and qualifications, and if none be found more worthy, to place the wreath upon Mr. Tom Rees. Eiortu District. August 18, 1874. Ohertsw Corner, Alabama. Ill NEGRO 0UTK40KH THEBH. Choctaw Herald, August 19th.] It seems that the negroes in the vicinity of TuKcahoma have recently organized a secret political society, the tondency of which is to provoke considerable party ex citement. And on Baturday, the 8 th inat., a party consisting of about forty negroes, representative of the organization above ref erred to, assembled at the time and place before mentioned and; in a very arbitrary manner, proceeded to pronounce and exeoute judgment against one of their number, upon the accusation that he had divulged oertain hoc rets pertaining to tho order. tie was forcibly car ried into the Bigbee swamp and there received at the hands of these inhuman wretches, one of tho most brutal floggings that ever was inflicted upon a human be ing. He was divested of every particle of olothing, and as many of the savage sooundrels as could erowd around him participated in the inhuman performance. After whipping him until life was nearly extinct, their victim was released, and making his wny to the londiug, reported the treatment he had received. There upon a warrant was placed in the hands of the deputy sheriff for execution. A number of tho parties implicated wore arrested and released an tfteir own recognisance to ap pear Y>efore the County Court. But on Thursday, while tho County Court was in session, its proceedings were sud denly interrupted by the report that a large foroe of armed negroes—several of whom were implicated in the lynching nftyir—wore approaching the town in a FOR SALE AND RENT.

In a Hhort tlrao, truly enough, they made their appearance in full view of tho town, and would donbtlea* havo persintefl in their horrid deaigna had they not been met and disparted by a crowd of whits men who, fortunately, were that day in attendance upon County Court. * Lien Oat ot Hte Cage. Til latest Northern papers give fuller statements of the •rrsngementa of Col onel Moeby and Captain Payno, of Vir ginia, to fight a duel, from which they were prevented by ■ misapprehension aa totheplaoeof meeting. It seems that lioa- by got angry beoanae Payne had ebMged him on the etnmp with sentiments In fa vor of a third term for Grant, ectl aa the imputation was made over and over again, lloaby took it into his bead to challango Payne. Judge Keith hindered them from fighting at home, but they arranged to mast somewhere in the Distrlot of Colum bia. Mushy went Into Washington, where he was promptly arrested and com pelled to give bonds to await a r eg auc tion from the Sheriff of Fauquier county. Meanwhile the other party proceeded to the duelling ground, bnt of course Moaby waa not there. It ia now aaid that tha authorltiea are keeping a eloae watch on both to pravent tha affair from going any fnrtbar. Tax rraolution of the Pennsylvania Republionn State Convention, nominating Governor Hartrantt, of that State, tor the Prealdenoy, ia regarded at not bo muob a movement in favor of Hartrantt as a de claration againat a third term for General Grant. In the speeches made upon this resolntion, its supporters direotly alluded to the reporta of General Grant’s desire for e third term, and affeoted to disbe lieve them, but they at tho same time da- elared their opposition to a third term for any man. Ex-Cougreaft[uan Kountz doea not appear to have shared tbit feeling. After one Dickey had pronounoed th* third term agitation a slander on Gen. Giant. Kountz arose to aay solemnly that be wee glad Mr. Dickey was aut/iorued to speak for General Grant. Dickey disclaimed any suoh authority, and then Kounti pro tested againat any expression of opinion on the subject, and moved to lay the reso lution nominating Hartrantt on tha table; bnt this motion was nustaiuod by only about a dozen votea. CosiusNiixa Bxlxnap, of tha U. B. ataamer Tu,carers, who has bean taking daep sea soundings in the TaolHo ocean, with a view to testing the practicability of an ocesn cable, makes an nnmtisfaeto ry report as far as hia sourtipge have gone. In sounding between Xokohaaaa and Puget's Sound, tha Una dlaoended in aavaral plaoes to a depth of over five miles, and an under-currant waa found of aneb velociiy as to break tha wire on two or three occasions. Commander Belknap oonoluded that if the friction, preane or strain waa so great on a fins wire, it would ba ao much greater on a cable large enough for tolegraphio purposes as to m.ka the teak of laying it very difficult, tf not impoaeble. He was, at last ao- oouuta, sounding nearer tha coasts and Islands, along • more oirouitoua route, but on. balivad to have shallower water aflfl lam ondar-oorrant. ity on the kOth instant Alluding to the coming political contest is Ohio, Judge Thurman had bnt one opinion, and that was, that tha Btate would be carried by the Democrats by a handsome majority. In raference to the complexion of the nett Obngress, it Was hard to arrive at a definite conclusion. This much waa oertain i <sbe Badicala were moviug every power and ttaking the strongest fight possible to ssdare t the lower Hones af the national Legislature, wall knowing, aa they do, that tha inde pendent candidate* and political move ment! springing op all over the country tnay poasibly result in throwing the ques tion of the next Presidency Into the House of Hepreeentativea for that body to decide. In reference to the prospects of a third party movement, there were no tun conclusions to be arrived at, as it was impofslble to tell what the greet issues in the West—the Granger movements, Ao., may result in. In reference to the subject of a Presi dential third term for General Grant, Judge Thurman believed that General Grant waa a candid,te for another torm. Be was working for tba nomination at the hands of the Hepublioan party. The Senator remarked that he had been told wittln a few days, and It had been told to others beside himself, by au intimate friend of President Grant, that tho latter had said that ha had no idea of running agaiu for the Presidency. The Henator thought differently, however, and in s speech of hia at Colnmbus some time ago, he bad asserted that it waa Grant’s inten tion to be a candidate for a third term, and he had reiterated It atboe, and had never seen anything to oonvinoe him that tho prediction waa moorreet. On the con trary, the friends of Grant were working strennonsly to secure the nomination for him again '; »ud ha had nevwr interposed any objeoltoh to thair efforts in that di rection. The alienee of Gen. Grant in this matter, foreshadowed beyond a doubt, his wllUngnsss to stand hsfors ths people again for the third Urns as a candidate. If bo did not desire ths nomination again why did he not eonte out and declare his unwillingness to serve a third term, put e atop to the efforts of hia Badloal friends •nd silenoe the agitation of thia third term movement F Mr. Thurman's reply to the question, as to his opinion of Vice President Wilson's statement, that Gen. Grant was not a candidate for a third term, was that it looked aa tf Wilaon feared very tunoh bo might be a oandidata again. a TXnantLE ooune. From the Troy (N. V.) Timas of Ang. U.) The Gruat Eastern Girona, bound from Bchenectudy, reaohed Saratoga at 2 o’clock this morning. The cage containing one lion, loaded on a platform oar, struck the Dolavan bridge, about five miles balow Ballaton, and threw one oar off the traok, end tiroke the cage and released the lion. The men surrounded him with revolvers and tried to drive him back into the aege, but he would not go. Thoy tied a piece of raw meat to tho bell curd and drew it along tbe ground before the animal, bnt he conld not be coaxed. Finally they took the engine, wont to Ballaton, got a young ealf out of a market, and tied it in the oar. When the lion saw the ealf in the car, he made a spring for it, and was at once shut in, the calf, meotVwhile, crying piteously. A large oruwd witnessed tbe thrilling aoeoe, Onr informant, an eye witness, aay a that the moment that the lion bounded into tho oar he could bear the httmphing of the bones of the unfor tunate calf. He desoribed the eoene aa really touching as well as terrible. After the accidont tho brakemsn on the train dropped his lantern and started for tho woods. Tho lion’s trainer hastily oalled him back, and just in time, as the lion* was preparing to fellow the bait. The trainer said that no more dangerous temptation could have been laid before tho lion. After reaching SAnitoga tho cago was baoked up at tho door and au attempt made to force him into it, but up to nine o'clock It was unaucossfal. The neigh borhood where it occurred is sparsely set tled, but waa aroused. Few people wonld come near the oars, inasmuch as the lion, for s time, sat upon one of tho oars in a threatning Attitude. ■lotas ot Iks ■oathem Cotton Claims.
