Th* political mqtmi in ManeachuoetU,
according to the tenor of reporta from all
parte of the Slate, heat hot early indicated
that the Reimblioana will rnn Talbot, and
the Democrat*, Gaston, for Governor.
Ben Bailer keepc hin own eoaneela, and
it ia hard to tell at thia time whether he
will make any strong opposition to the
nomination of Talbot.
Tat Rome Commercial mentions an in*
vention by Mr. Julios B. Howell, of its
city, which will certainly be very value*
hie it it does what is promised for it. It
is an *'‘improvement in wind and water
motors," which, itiaolaimed, will utilize
any river or cree^ current for the pur
pose of driving machinery, without re
gard to the fall of water. We infer that
it is intended to oombine wind and water
power, by giving any desired direction to
the former and concentrating the force of
the latter. Mr. Howell has a patent, and
proposes to exhibit hia improvement at
the Georgia State Fair.
Judqk Sampson Hell, of Americun, de
nies, in a sharp letter to the Lumpkin
Independent, the statement that he lately
visited Stewart connty to organize the
Radical party. lie does not deny making
the remarks about the Civil Rights bill
which the Indejtendent reported, and upon
which we made some comments—indeed,
he says nothing about that. Bat the
Hamter /lepuhliran says for him : “What
ever may be Judge Bell's views in refer
ence to National politics, of one thing we
can positively state, and that is, that he
is as much opposed to the infamous Civil
Rights bill aa any man in GeorgiA;
neither will he support any man for Con
gress who is in favor of the pasaage of
such a bill; and furthermore, that he is
not a candidate for any office within the
gift of the people. These fsots we gathor
from his own lips."
IT WAV SO AH’* “FLOOD.”
The act of the late Congrees appropri
ated money for the relief of the “over
flowed districts" of the South, and the
Radical dispensers of the relief have
found oat that tho lid Congressional Dis
trict of Alabama was one of the over
flowed, and have sent nineteeu casks of
bacon to Opelika to be distributed in the
District. How much has been sent to
other counties remains to be reported.
Opelika is somo eight or nine hundred
feet above high water mark, and no port
of the District was overflowed by
the freshets of last spring. But the
Radicals claim that it was all
overflowed in Noeh'e flood, and this enti
tle* it to a share iu the relief. If, being
at that time a heathen possession, Nosh’s
flood didn't reach it, Dncalion'a must
have covered it, and this clearly makes
out the case. Moreover, it is a very close
district, sometimes called the battle
ground of Alabama, and the baoou may
be used to help out wonderfolly in secur
ing Radical voters. So, we seethe beoifi*
cence of Congress m so liberally provid
ing aid for the sufferers by all the
floods, no matter how long ago.
With plenty of bacon for Radi
cal voters, and Federal so'diers
to ovorawo Democrats, the District ought
to be lifted high and dry out of the roach
of the Democratic tide that is sweeping
the country this year. Pelham will bo
covered with glory and grease, and can
proudly lift his head in the next Cougreas
as one of the Representatives who went
the whole hog, secured the baoon for his
supporters, tho $5,000 for himself, and
nobly illustrated the catholicity of a char
ity that is bounded and reat rained by no
water marks, but would surmount even
monntaine in its search of overflowed
sufferers and Kadioal voters.
THE EtTFAVLA HU EIDUBlEI.
Mention has heretofore been made iu
our columns of the arreet of aeveral ne
groes at Eufaula, Ala., on the oharge of
bnruing the Exhibition Hall at the Fair
Grounds near that city, on the night after
the municipal eleotion in Eufaula—there
having been some flghting during the day
between the nogroos and some whites,
brought on by the attempt of the negroes
to crowd out whito men from the polls.
At the time of the arrest of three of these
negroes, another one of the implicated
(considered the leader of the gang) was
at Montgomery as a delegate to
the Radical Htate Convention. He
was arrested there, and the Radioal
papers at Montgomery raieed the cry
of persecution on account of politios.
This negro's name is Jeff Thornes, On
Friday morning lest the preliminary ex
amination of the prisoners then in Eu-
fanla was held iu a justice’s court in that
city, and the Eufaula papers of Saturday
aud Monday bring us reports of tho evi-
denoe elicited. It was strong and direct
against threo of the prisoners on trial,
including Jeff Thomas. Several wit
nesses were examined by the State, and
the testimony of all of them tended to
the implication of tho prisoners. We
copy only the evidence of one witness,
and he a negro:
Jerre Barnett, colored, the fourth wit
ness for the State being sworn, says: 1
wan here on the day of tho last city elec
tion. 1 heard John Thomas, Isaac Hogs
head, alios Isaao Johnson, alios Isaac
Freeman and Jeff Thomas, say that they
were going to got kerosene, and they had
a kerosene cau holding between threo
quart* end a gallon and were standing in
front of Tom Walton’s grocery. One of
them hod a double-barrel gun and one a
stick. They said they were going ou
down to the Fair Ground* to sot it aflre.
Tom Walton was standing in his door, and
I do not know whether he heard
what was suid or no, the three
men were not talking very loud ;
they were standing very close
together. There was a good deal of black
people. I did not see any white man in
the crow’d ; it was a crowd of blaok peo
ple ; I do not know where the gon came
from. It was about seventy-five or one
hnodred yards from Dick Thomas' gro
oery ; it was getting along pretty late in
the night. I heard the same men talking
abont the plot before night, at the same
place. Jeff and Isaac said, hove, lets
make up a crowd and eel the FairGround*
afire, and Jeff eaye wait until I eee Bad
Bbont it; he oelk John Thomas Bad, and
referred to him. The next time I saw
them together, Bod wse with them ; then
they had the kerosene, the gun and stick.
The next time I saw item they were at the
Fair Grounds., between eleven and twelve
o'clock, I reckon ; it was getting along
pretty late in the night. I lived then near
the Fair Grounds, about SO or 44) yards
from the road. 1 then lived three of four
hundred yards from the Exhibition Mall,
‘nicy said that after the Fata Groauds
were set afire, they would come beck to
towu, and if all the white men went out
there, they would *et the towu afire;
they said this before they went out there.
I saw them at the Fair Grounds; I saw
them get over into the Fata Grounds on
the west side, near a large persimmon
tree. Jeff and John and Isaac got over.
They went up in the roof and pulled off a
shingle and set it afire in three places,
and Then ran down in the lower end of
the Fair Grounds, and jumped over in
that big pond. They did not know I was
then. I told Richard Hancock the next
day after the fire what I saw.
The examination resnlted in the dis
charge of Lerkin Bowne, against whom
there was no svidenoe, and the requiring
of a bond of ,000 esch from Jeff
Thorns*, Isaao Freeman and Tom Walton,
The Neva thinks not one of them can
make the bond, and that they will all be
committed to jail.

WHAT THEY WANT.
In evsiy Southern State since the war,
whenever the Radical party has found it
self hard pressed and in danger of defeat
•t an approaching eleotion, it has endeav
ored to procure Federal troops to protect
rascality in voting or counting, or to in
timidate the Democrats. The appeal has
alwos been made under the pretence that
the Democrats were threatening or resort,
ing to violenee. The sequel has always
show the falsity of this pretence. Wher
ever fraud has Leen committed, it baa
been by Radicals ; wherever usurpation
has been triumphant over the popular
will, it has been committed by Radicalism
sustained by Federal power; wherever
violence has been resorted to, the Radi
cate have been the aggreason. Yet this
partj just as persistently and unblushing-
ly makes appeals for Federal “protection"
whenever an election is now approaching
ns it ever did ; and a greater wonder is
that the pooplo of the North, thongh they
have so often heard the false cry of
“wolf," will still listen with patience, if
uot with sympathy, to its repetition.
The notorioua Judge KeiLa was a dele
gate to the late Radical Convention at
Montgomery, and of course he had some
didoes to cut up. We learn from the
State Journal that be intoodueed tho fol
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, Iu large portions of Alabama,
and particularly in the couuties of Butler,
Barbour, Hnmter, Choctaw, Marengo,
Henry, Macon and Russell, the Republi
can citizens are being daily threatened
with violence, because they ore identified
with and vote in favof of the Republican
party; and
Whereas, Murders have been commit
ted npon Republicans, and many of the
leaders and voters of said Republican
party have been and are constantly threat
ened by Democrats with murder because
they are Republicans; and
Whereas, The outrages herein speoifled
are so numerous, and the perpetrator* are
so bold and dariug since the inauguration
of what is ealied by the Democrats “tho
white man’s party";
Them fore, We, the Republicans of Ala
bama, through their delegatee in State
Convention assembled, declare that wo
believe the lives of Republioans are daily
in danger from assassination of the vilest
type.
2. We hereby Holomnly declare to tho
President of the United States aud to the
Governor of Alabama, that we believe
many of tho loader* and members of the
so-called “white mau’s patty" are reck
lessly and wickedly determined to again
precipitate ganersl civil war, bloodshed
and ruin in Alabama; aud we respectfully
and earnestly oak that such measures be
adopted and enforced, as will effectually
prevent such rain in our State.
Resolved, That the delegates to this
Convention sign this preamble and reao-
lutions.
We learn from the Advertiser that when
these resolutions wore read, a delegate
from Butlor connty rose and declared that
he was not willing to sign such a state
ment for his oounty, and he wanted But
ler left out; aud a delegate from Lowndes
said that be did not aoe any use in such
resolutions. But we do not find that
either of the two very respectable dele
gates from Russell county rose and pro
tested against such a slander upon the
white pooplo of their county. Why was
this ? How oould a gentleman like M. L.
Patterson remain ellent when the people
of hia connty were thus aooused of vio
lence aud designs of assassination ? He
hss hod experience enough os a lawyer in
the oourts to know whioh party in his
county furnishes tho majority of the
violators of law within its bounds,
knows that the white men of Russell
are not “ daily threatening citixens with
violence because they ore identified
with and vote iu favor of the Republican
party." He and every other intelligent
man know that a white man is much safer
from intimidation and violence iu votiug
a Republican ticket in Russell county,
than a negro is in voting a Democratic
ticket. Is not this so T Is it not a noto
rious and well known fact that a number
of white raeh in Russell county have for
years been voting the Republican ticket
in Russell connty, aud no one has ever
committed violenee upon them for it yet ?
And is it not a fact equally well known
that if any number of oolored men should
veto tho Democratic ticket over there,
they would be irabjeeted to repeated iu-
suits by Radioal negroes ?
Keils’ resolutions were referred to a
committee, who will doubtless roport in
accordance with the party necessity<* of
Radicalism. If they find that a fair and
free eloetiou will result in a sweeping
Democratic victory (os they donbtless
will), their report will back Keils in his
assertion*, and every effort will be made
to secure Federal intervention. This is
the next movement to be expected upon
the Radical chess-board in Alabama, and,
whether it will be suooessful in obtain!ug
Federal intervention or not, it will indi-
oato beyond mistake that the Radicals of
that State see nothing bnt disaster in the
result of an uncontrolled eleotion.
—“Missus Snowdrop,’ said a gentle-
man of oolor the other afternoon, during
a shower, to a lady of his acquaintance,
“as de webber is msnewhet amphibious,
will you do me de honor to step under my
ambreller au’ form a quorum? In die
webber an nmbreller is radder cosmopol
itan.’’
—Three young men, namee unknown,
were drowned in the Bast river, by the
upsetting of n boot
ing for years, not only in tbe immediate
families of Tilton and Beecher, bnt ex
tending io the other near relations/*#
both these men. Ik appears that the
great scandal, in all Its proportions, had
for a long time been tbe subject of
discussion by Beecher's brothers and sin
ters and by Mrs. Tilton’s mother. Moul
ton says that for all this time he ha* been
acting as the sincere friend and confidant
of both Tilton and Beecher, n*ing all hie
exertions to keep tho relations between
them from public view, and to shield each
from any trick or advantage by the other;
that he has held the documents in his pos
session, in spite of demands for aeveral
of them, especially by Beecher, because
he thought that it was his duty
to hold the whole facts of the case
in trust and confidence for both parties.
He (Moulton) denies that aoy publicity
has occurred through any act or word of
hia, and claims that all hit efforts have
been need to keep the facts from the
pnblio and prevent either party injuring
tbe other by tbe use of parts of the cor
respondence or statements. He prefaces
his statement by an address of about a
half column’s length “to the public," in
which he justifies his own course, and
then he appends the evidence in his pos
session. His statement, he says, is the
same, without the change or addition of a
single word, which he at first prepared
for the committee, to be read on the oc
casion of his late appearance before them,
but that ho was then induced to withhold
it at tbe earnest solicitation of some of
Mr. Beecher’s friends.
With this brief explanation of Mr.
Monltou’s agency and course in the mat
ter, as related by himself, we introduce a
review of his statement by the Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin. We take the
Bulletins article because it appears to us
to be the most reasonable and unpreju
diced view of Moulton's statement and
evidence that we have yet seen—giving
dne weight and consideration to the testi
mony as produced, and setting down
nanght in malioe towards either party.
The Bulletin says:
(Stripped of all verbiage, Mr. Moulton's
statement shows : I. An intimate, confi
dential relationship of Moulton with ail
the principals in this sal affair, giving
an exceptional weight to his testimony of
the highest value. II. A persistent pur
pose to secure peace and reconciliation
between tho parties, continued to the
very latest moment, which bars the theory
of any hostile or malicious purpose in tho
statement now made. III. The direct,
positive, unqualified declaration that Mr.
Beecher repeatedly confessed his crime
to him; “he admitted with grief and sor
row the fact of his soxual relations with
Mr*. Tilton." “He, also, at other in'er-
views, unqualifiedly confessed that he had
been guilty of adultery with Mrs. Tilton."
IV. Mrs. Tilton’s own admissions to biiu
of hor criminal relations to Beecher
“During this affair, Mts. Tilton has more
than once admitted to me and to anothor
person to my knowledge—whom I do not
care to bring into this controversy—the
foot of her sexual relations with Beecher,
and she never has once denied them, other
than in the written papers prepared for a
purpose which I have already exhibited;
bat on the ooutrary, tho fuct of such
criminal intercourse being well under
stood by Beecher, Tilton and Mrs. Tilton
to have taken place, my whole action in
the matter was based upon the existence
of that fact, and was an endeavor, faith
fully carried out by me iu every way pos
sible, to protect the families of both par-
tie* from the consequence* of a publio dis
closure of Mr*. Tiltou's admitted infideli
ties to her husbuud."
The whole case, a* stated by Mr. Moul
ton, may be summed up under those four
heads. And the verdiot may now be
made up, must now be made up, so far as
the court to which Mr. Beecher has chosen
to submit it isconcorned. For we cannot
imagine whit evidence oan bo brought in
rebuttal of snob testimony as this. The
man who has been acknowledged the rt-
pository of tbe confidences of all parties
iu this shameful affair, goaded into publi
cation by Lhe charges of personal infamy,
brought against him by Mr. Beeoher, tells
hiB story, and it is a direct assertion of
confessed guilt. The story is as plain as
it is positive. There is none of that
tranoendental trash which marks the Til
ton aud Beeoher throughout this whole
affair. It beam tho stamp of consistent
truth from beginning to end, and it con
victs Henry Ward Beocher of the crime
whioh Theodore Tilton charged upon him,
aud of the greater, because more deliber
ate, crime of which ho has been guilty iu
his subsequent dealing with the case.
Until Moulton spoke, there was no test
by which the world oould judge between
the irreconcilable contradictions of Til
ton's and Beecher’s statements. AU that
their testimony settled was that one or
the other of them was a desperate liar.
Mr. MouUoa, unless he oan be proved to
be a more desperate liar and forger than
either of them, applie* the fatal test.
We havo no heart to comment upon
the consequences of this statement now
spread before the world. For tho sake
of the cause of morals and religion, be-
spell of oontinued hot weather as we have
had here lately. Even in my sitting
room, which is comparatively a cool place,
the thermometer on four consecutive
days, went up to 104 degrees; by 9 o’clock
at night it bad only oooled to 100 degrees,
and aid mjffifall below 92 degrees all
night. To be sare, there was a breeze,
but it was a steoooo-like one; for while
the thermometer, in its accustomed place
against the wall over my desk, only show
ed 100 degrees, it rose to 104 degrees
when hang in tbe breeze at the window,
though in tbe shade. Thi* long contin
ued heat has played sad havoo with the
corn in this section. I have just returned
from Augusta, on the White River, end
muoh of the immature corn is literally
sun-dried—leaves, stalks and all, ore dried
op and yellow—too far gone for any rain
to help it. The cotton, too, is wilting
down, although it is not much more than
fairly in bloesom. The planters say it
will not make half a crop. ’

week.
