TKITHN BY A t OI.OKt.D DEMOCRAT
At a Democratic meeting at Batesburg, S.
C, on the sth inst., there were several col
ored speakers, among them one, Tom Wat
•an, a bant working field hand. He made a
brave speech, and so formulated the situa
tion in regard to the colored- peopte of the
South that an extract is w ell worth priming.
Hit words, of course, are put into shape by
the reporter, and this is the extract in ques
tion:
The Radicals havebeen ruling this Gov.
eminent for ten years, and their motto has
been “lie, cheat and steal,” and to-day there
is no money in the country. My colored
friends, we nave to labor hard every day to
get bread for our children; we have to go
barefooted and in our shirtsleeves. 1 went
to Edgefield the other day and went into
Lawrence Kain’s (a leading white Radical)
palace, and I saw a carriage for his baby
that would cost SIOO dollars iu NewYork,
and he had a white girl to roll it. When
hit wife walked across the floor she was
dressed so fine you could hear her “rattling” a
hundred yards. I tell you, my colored
friends, the Radical party is rotten. They
have been ruling thirteen .States, twelve of
them have rotted down, and the sills under
the thirteenth (South Carolina) are rotted,
and it will fall on the 7th of November.
There is no such thing as party now; it is
honesty butting against rascality, and I tell
you rascality has got to get out of the way.
I have been voting for the Radical party
for the last ten years, and, white folks, 1 will
tell you why 1 did it. These here carpet
baggers and scalawags came around and
told me to give them office, and they would
tax von "o that you’d have to sell your land,
and then we could buy it. I thought it
would fie mighty nice to have a big planta
tion, and I voted for them and told them to
stick on the tax. They stuck on the tax;
they got land, fine horses, fine clothes and
plenty ol money, hut I have never got any
thing from them yet. I tell yon another
falsehood they have been telling the colored
folks; they tell us that as soon as the Demo
crats get into power they will put us back
into slavery. 1 tell you, my colored friends,
that it is impossible. The whole world is
against slave’rv. The Constitution of the
United States forbids it, and the white peo
ple could not put you into slavery if they
would and they wouldn’t if they could.
At the conclusion of his remarks Tom
came forward to the front of the stand, and,
with all earnestness of his honest soul, cried
•out: “All you honest colored men come
up here. Give me your hand and God your
heart, and let s have an honest government.”
A number of colored men were immeuiatetX
•enrolled in tie Democratic Club.

THE DAILY TIMES.
GRANT’S OPINION.
President Grant expressed his opin
ion to a Herald reporter, which was
published In our columns a few days
since. Perhaps tho President hits
not given the American people any
reason to value his opinions. His
views concerning men and measures
have generally been of little conse
quence. His opinion of the South
in 1868 was correct, but he retractod
it, or at least pursued a policy
wholly at variance from his expressed
opinion. He had and expressed
an opinion which may be found in
his message in 1809, in the simple
words: “Let us have peace.” His
Southern policy showed how little
oontldence he placed iu his own view,
and the election in 1874 just follow
ing the Louisiana affair showed
how little ttie country valued
the opinion indicated by his bay
onet policy. He had an opinion
concerning San Domingo, but all
the best men of his own party disa
greed with hitn. His prevailing opin
ion concerning safe burglaries was
indicated by his dining with three
accomplices. His opinion of whisky
rings has not been regarded as an
opinion that would do to tie to. His
opinions or men have been more
reckless and unreliable than those
concerning measures. His opinion of
reform is that there is no such thing,
and this is an opinion based on his
own experience; for, in attempting
to carry into effect some opinions,
once entertained, concerning oivil
service reform, he met with disas
trous failure.
But, like Jack Bunsby, he has an
opinion as is an opinion. It is the
retiring President’s opiuiou, that the
Democrats will, ir they get into
power, bankrupt the country. He
thinks they would pay Southern war
claims, pension Confederate soldiers,
and even consider claims for tlie
value ol slaves.
There’s vision, there’s an opinion
as is an opinion. Such a statement
at a ward meeting ora country school
house by a tifth-rate politician, might
be excusable, especially if the poli
tician were uneducated and ignorant
of al l the politics of the past ten years.
Such an opiniou from a President of
tho United States is simply disgrace
ful. It betrays the same want of
knowledge of the Constitution which
he evinced in his message vetoing
the Salary bill. The Constitution
provides that no rebel debt or claim,
and particularly no claim for com
pensation for loss of slaves, shall
ever beconsidered or paid.
The Republican party has spent ton
years in the carefully directed effort
to bankrupt the country. It has well
uigh succeeded. All that iH asked in
the South is a restoration of prosper
ity. The people of the South, in ac
cepting the results of the war. uro
willing enough to yield ail claims.
Indeed, they make no claims. The
losses of the war are part of the ac
cepted results nobody cares to reopen
or discuss. Gen. Grant’s opinion is
puerile and absurd. —Nashville Amer

Special Correspondttuee ol the World.l
Philadelphia. September 21.—Since
my letter of yesterday I have received fur
ther corroboration of the facts therein sta
ted. Not only has the scheme to carry the
the Indiana election by imported repeaters
been organized, but some of those who are
to aid in the execution of the plan have
already left for both Ohio and Indiuna.
Both States arc embraced iu the planned
and organized attack on the purity of the
ballot-box under tbe skilled and scientific
leadership of the Philadelphia Republi
c ms. The attention of die State and local
c immitues in both of those States cannot
be called to this plot one day too soon.
The scheme is so well matured that it is
only by the most perfect organization and
the Btationing of watchers at the polling
places, not only while the vote is being
polled, hut also when it is counted, that
it can be defeated. The Republicans have
plenty of tools for such work and are pay
ing liberally for the right kind of men to
execute their plan.
This morning I met the gentleman upon
whose authority the statements in yester
day’s letter were given,and have question
ed him closely in regard to the cunning
scheme, He not only sustains all of his
lormer assertions hut assures me that the
parties who have arranged that pro
gramme are determined to carry it out,
and that in addition to those who are to
lie sent Irom this city, pickdd men arc to
be sent trom New York and from Pitts
burg, and that they are to he paid all ex
penses and SIOO each In additiou. It also
appears from this same person’s state
ment that this scheme was settt illy work
ed in Ohio at the election of Hayes and
Allen last year, with this variation, the
bogus tickets were adroitly dropped into
the ballot-box at intervals during the day,
instead of waiting until the boxes were
being emptied for the purpose of counting.
The ballot-boxes in all of Ohio, he asserts,
were worked in that manner, and that it
was by that process alone that Ilayes was
enabled to secure his majority over Allen.
The Republicans in portions of Ohio hav
ing been initiated in this ara of manipulat
ing the ballot-boxes last year, it is not
considered necessary to send as many men
to that Stale this year, but to turn their
efforts to introducing tec science in India
na. My informant admits that he visited
Ohio last year and helped to instruct some
of the local officials in the execution of
the Philadelphia scheme, as he calls it,
but kept himself out of reach on election
day.

From the Hay add ah NewH of Monday.]
The number of interments reported
on Saturday is the largest since the
appearance of the epidemic, the total
being forty-six, of which thirty were
yellow fever cases. This sudden and
unpected increase of the mortality,
with the reports of new cases, includ
ing many well known citizens, which
were current on the streets, east, if
possible, a deeper gloom over our
stricken community, and Saturday
and Sunday were days of peculiar
sadness. The general despondency
was, however, somewhat relieved lust
evening as tho report for the day be
came known, and it was discovered
that there was a diminution of just
one-half in tho mortality of yester
day as compared with the day previ
ous, the total interments on Sunday
being twonty-three, of which eigh
teen were yellow fever cases. With
such a favo’rable change we endeavor
to be hopeful, but while the sick list
is uudittilnisbed, and many eases of
well known citizens and friends are
regarded as of doubtful issue, we
dread the sod disappointment which
the next day’s record may bring.

K.lTrct of the Hell Gate Explosion.
New York, Sept. 25.—Geo. W. Blunt,
Commissioner of Pilots, to-day, in
conversation, said that the explosion
yesterday had destroyed Hell Gate
reef for over 350 feet, and had swept
away 200 feet of the shore line, thus
deepening and broadening tho chan
nel. Flood Bock will next be cleared
away by tho use of explosives. Dia
mond Reef will also be cleared so as
to give tho channel a depth of 24 feet.
Of course, these improvements will
depend upon future appropriations.
Mr. Blunt had no idea that large
ocean vessels would uso this channel
more than formerly, and the velocity
of the current in Long Island Sound
will make that impracticable. He
made application for an appropria
tion with the view of benefitting the
coast trade only.

Belgrade, Sept. 26.—Tho Diplo
matic agents here presented notes
to Prince Milan on Monday morn
ing, announcing that tho Porte has
agreed to a suspension of hostilities
and the terms of peace proposed by
the powers. The Servian Govern
ment usked for time to reply to the
Porte’s proposition for tho suspen
sion of hostilities. The war party
and Russian officers are moving
heaven and earth to prevent Servia
from assenting. There is much doubt
as to the course Prince Milan will
pursue. .
London, Sept. 26.—A Berliu dis
patch to tho Times says the Russian
Government has ordered the prepar
ation of horses, liable to be seized in
ease of war. Tho correspondent re
marks that the preliminary agree
ment of the powers upon tho terms
of peace, being vague enough to ad
mit of different interpretations. Rus
sia’s warlike manners are evidently
intended to support the construction
that will shortly be placed up
on tho poace arrraugement by
St. Petersburg diplomacy.
A dispatch to the Reuter’s Tele
gram Company, from Belgrade, says
tho Servian Government has given
formal notice to all its military com
manders of the prolongation of the
suspension of hostilities.
The Russian Consul, in an inter
view with Milan yesterday, pointed
out to him that Europe regarded the
proclamation of the army declaring
him King with displeasure, and ad
vised him to summon Gen. Tchcrna
yeff to Belgrade and explain to him
that the acceptance of the royal title
would cause fresh complications.
Tho Austrian Consul ou Saturday
asked for explanations concerning
Gen. Tchernayeff’s proclamation.
Prince Milan replied that ho was en
deavoring to arrange tho matter in
a manner showing due consideration
for tho feelings of the army whose
support was absolutely necessary to
him. He said that Gen. Tchernay
eff’s army adhered to the proclama
tion, despite the dissuasion of the
War Minister. He added that a de
finite resolution corneerning the
proclamation, would be taken when
tho War Minister returned from the
camp.

There lias lived in this city tho past

send home to his widowed mother, who
lived in Michigan, what he could afford
to spare from his earnings. Being a
bachelor, ho could not brook tho idea of
having the idol of his heart toll In her de

money, presuming his worthy relative
would use it as shejdeemed proper. Af
ter yoars ot absence his mother kept
writing for him to return, but
like other old Californians, ho was
proud and did not desire to go back
until he had sufficient to “show” that he
was from tho Golden State. Time works
changes; so it did with Peter. He found
hinißelf about a month ago without labor
—to use tho common term—and the sur
roundings neither pleasant nor satisfac
tory. He was unwell, and thought of
homo and the friends of his youth, hack
in the wolverine districts. He wrote his
mother that he could not conceal his pride
any longer, and stated the situation; If
ho had money he would return, but he
nad to make it. Monday last he received
a check for SSOO, and in the letter was
ntated that the money he had been send
ing home for years had been invested in
real estate, and that he had better come
back and taka ehargo of his property
which was worth over $50,000.

SPOTTED TAIL’S SPEEC H.
Spotted Tail Aof.ncy, Sept. 22.
All tho commission present. Spotted
Tail ntado a long speech, setting
forth how treaties had been violated
by the Great Father. He said this
is the country where my people were
born, where they have acquired all
their property, their children and
their horses. You have come here
to buy this country of us, and it
would be well if you would corao with
the goods you propose to give us,
and to put them out of your hand, so
we can see tho goods and the price
you propose to pay for it.
Concerning the war, he says: This
seems to me to boa very hard day.
Half of our country is at war, and we
como upon very difficult times. This
war did not spring up here iu our
land; it was brought upon us by the
children of the Great Father, who
came to takeout* lauds from us with
out price, and who do a great many
evil things . The Great Father and
children are to blame for this trouble.
An Optnlnn on the Authority ot the t .
S. to Nentl tor Tweed.
Washington, Sept. 26.—The Herald
lias the following Washington spe
cial ;
A great deal of comment and sur
prise has been expressed here that
so extraordinary a step as sending a
United States vessel for a State pris
oner has been taken. It is inferred
that it was done at the instance of
Mr. Adee, Charge d’ Affairs at the
American Legation, in conformity
witli tho wish of t ho Spanish Govern
ment.
It is thought among those capable
of judging that Mr. Fish has blun
dered iu taking any cognizance of
the Tweed case, as he is merely an
offender against a State and Federal
Government. Even the officials of
the Navy Department are sstonished
at tho seeming stretch of authority,
and cannot account for any legiti
mate international consideration that
would warrant it. A naval officer of
high position says that if he were in
command of the Franklin he would
refuse to receive him.
