From the Albany Argus, Oct. 22, 1872 ] Carl Schurz made a speech in Ger, man in this city Thursday evening We have not a translation at hand, but in justice to him assume that it con tained nothing in conflict with his pre vious utterances. We, therefore, give the following as expressing his views of the crisis: On the sth of" October. 1872, Mr Schurz spoke in Buffalo. The ing is the passage of his speech in which he discussed THE SOUTHERN QUESTION : A blight has fallen over the South. It was not so much the war which was the cause of it as is the shameful cor ruption which pervades the State gov* ernments. Fraud, Plunder, Shameless Robbery—these are the characteristics of the Southern State governments And who is is responsible for it? Was it not Grant’s administration to which all these robbers, all these plunderers clung for support ? But how could these thieves keep themselves in power ? Their most powerful aid was the Federal Government, aud their next powerful aid thej sought iin the ignorant negro vote. Secret societies were organized to keep the negroes in subjection and to make them vote just as the administration and its servants would want to have them vote. Some time ago I had the honor of addressing some negro meetings ii> North Carolina. I ed to them what their best interest would require. I thought I had made some impression upon them. What did I hear an hour after the meeting? The leader of one of these secret societies had told them that J was not to be be lieved because I had been for slavery all n y life and wanted to deliver them over to their worst enemies. THE THIEVES AND THE NEGROES. I he thieves control these negroes,and it was under their influence that they hi ve been arrayed against the whites. The blacks and the whites stand lace to face and enemies—for the ne groes are under the inflinnee of the most villainous scoundrels that were ev er allowed to disgrace a great and noble country, if there can be anything worse than civil war it is the war of raoes; and these scoundrels have adopt ed just the very means to bring about such a war At the head of the negroes are the great thieves that rule the South and rely on Grant for support. The support is given to them freely, and every possible means has been taken to make them blind instruments of the powers that be and the footstep for a second term of Pre ident Grant. SAD CONDITION OF THE SOUTH. This is the condition of the South and a sad condition it is when we re member that we are one people, one lace, born under one flag, living under one Constitution. I need scarcely add that a period of thorough exhaustion has followed such shameful abuse of the power of the government. The produc tive labor seems almost exhaust ed. the very foundations of socie'y are undermined,the States are almost bank rupt. The Republican party is respon sible for the present condition of the South. I have been fifteen years a steadfast, faithful worker in the ranks of the Republican party. 1 would be the last man to reproach the Republican pa ty, with which my highest hoDes have ever been identified Rut this is a question of concsience The Republican Party is responsible for it, is it not? In the name of what party HAVE THE CARTET- BAG GOVERN MENTS been founded ? In the name of what party have the carpet-bag governments been upheld aud defeuded ? Was P not the Republican patty ? Yes. it ira.s— What party was it that denied amnesty when it was clear that only by the en franchisement of all intellicent- voters could the it fluence of the ignorant ne gro vote be paralyzed? The Republi can party spurned amnesty, at and there was no gleam of hope that we should ever have universally amnesty until the Liberal parry inscribed the glori ous word upon its bann r at Cincinnati —upon that banner under which we shall elect Horace Greeley. Is there in this room —is there the mo 4 entliu siactic supporter of Grant and Wilson who will deny that these nefarious car petbag governments are not supportered by the whole power of Grant’s admin istration ? Is there one who will say that Grant and his followers are not chiefly responsible for the present con. dition of the South ? The votes of the negroes —that’s wbat Grant re’’.ed on. They were to e’ect him for a second term. I said before and I say it again that is it our first duty to bring tme hearts or our noble Southern people J again to the common flag ; to draw them near us again, to make them again proud of oeing Americans. But what has been done? I ask you, is this the way to make them love aga'n the com mon flag, fo bring tbeir hearts to us again ? Bo -not gain the love of man by picking his pocket. Bo we gain his love by robbing him of his rights { •‘ Truth Conquers All Things.” No, this B not the way to cross over the bloody chasm. No, this is sac° rificing a whole continent for the ego tism of a party. ThU is setting on foot ah era of uepotism. A despotism which is a despotism of robbers. I always have been a Republican, 1 hope a good Republican but I have been Re publican to give the South a good gova ernment. I have not been a Republi can, I am not a Republican, I will not be a Republican to deliver the South ern people over to the worst set o‘ scoundrels that ever obtained political power. MILITARY RULE. Let us lock at the political develop, ments of this country. We have become careless about the institutions of our country. You who have studied histo ry know that in times of extraordinary urgency, iu times of war etc.; we allow he Government extraordinary prerog atives whic we would noat allow the government in ordinary times You remember the Romans acted on this principle. When the enemy was before the gates of Rome they invested a Consul as a dictator with supreme power. We did the same in the last war. The Government had extraordi nary powers. Well, it saved the repub lie. That was the chief end, and we all admit that it was accomplished. But during these times of war a bad habit is apt to spring up —the Government is apt to assume greater powers than it was invested with, and the people are apt to accustom themselves to the usuipation. When the war is over the government ought to surrender these extraordinary prerogatives, which, though they may save the republic in times of war, may destroy its liberty in times of peace.-- But what have we seen in this country? Military rule has been prolonged, and the cou try seems to he under the iron grasp of an alLpowered and arbitrary ruler; the Constitution violated ; and to restore the Constitution it may take the blood of thousands of people, [Ap plause.] GREELEY AND HARD TIMES. * * * Marty reports are in circulation that should Greeley be elect ed, inevitable ruin will foilow; that that the financial affairs of the country will be overthrown. Bo yon believe ihat? The South is dependent upon the North, and the North upon the South I ask in all sincerity, can the South prosper with these carpet-baggers pre venting these Southerners trading with the North ? THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN 1872- IIAS IT IMPROVED SINCE? We are not fighting merely to make one man President o*' the United States in place of another ; but we are fight ing for the overthrow of a system —a system of unconstitutional arrogance of power, a sys of contempt of law, a sys tem of government by force. A sys tem of plundering in the South and of corruption in the North ; a system which threatens to subvert the highest good we possess —the freedom of election all over the United States. We are fighting against this in order to substitute for it another —a free,honest, true republican government. We have tremendous odds against ns; such oods, I believe, as the army of progress had never before. Bo you read the advices which now reach us from the States which have their elections in October ? Bo you read of the frauds to elect the Republican can didates, or candidates of the Grant par ly at any cost? Bo you know of the power of office,w hich at the present mo ment is no longe: at the service of the party? As 1 told my German fellow citizens the government of the Unitea States does no longer belong to the American people, but seems to belong in fee simple to Ulyssses S. Grant, and the Central Republican committee. [From a Bpeech at Syracuse, Oct., 1872.] WHAT MR SCHURZ THOUGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. And thus it is that the great name the great authority of the Republican party in its national copacity, is being used this very moment to uphold th ■ most atrocious system of government which this country ever saw. A party which cannot live and prosper unless it be supported by a revival of the old war feeling, and by tearing open again the wounds from which tho people of the United States have bled so long ; such 8 party when it has come to that does not deserve to live [l-rom a Speech at St. Lo uis, Octoccr 20. 1872.] CaN TIIE DEMOCRATIC PRATY BE TRUSTED. Honest Republicans are you still t 011 > bled by doubt? Bo you ask, ‘Will it be safe to trust them ?” A journil of this city addressed the question to me. how the colored people of the South would be protect! and by legislation in consequences of this movement, if the majority in Congress should change?— I wiJJ answer. We had the same move mentin this State; the majority in the Legistature did change ; and n vv w~re the colored people of Missouri then pro reefed by legislation ? No legislation was needed io protect them They were amply protected bv the spirit of the people as it sssued fruit that moveuiet I remember the predictions that were mad t on to Lighten s, that the “red handed rebel” would ri. e up again in bloodv ferocity and make it impossible for Union men and colored people to live in some p uts f tjiis State. Well the peopl- of .Missouri were not ; they <id trust; they “clasped hands over the bloody chasm” in 18*0. Their trust was not in vain. They became not only voters but good citizens again ; the rights even of the lowliest among us were more secure and sacred then ever and we have lived as friends and brothers since. Here it is inhistorv.JLet the Amer ican people profit by this lesson. Look at the South to-day. Is not the Liber al movement leading old enemies togeth er in friendship and inspiring all hearts with new hope? Is it not already do ing more to prevent disorder and vio lence than penal laws and violence could do? If you the peace of Missouri everywhere let her example of hearty reconciliation be everywhere followed. THE PATRIOTISM OF THE DEMOCRACY. N ■ party can do what the Bemocracy party has done without dror ping its his torical identity. I honor the patri >tic spirit of the men who achieved so tre mendous a revolution, and in the great work before us I hail with joy and cor-, duality their alliance. The party that has dmie this cannot return to its old grooves. It is impossible. The first attempt would shiver it to atoms. [From a Speech in Chicago,September,lß76] CARL SCHURZ ON MR. TILDEN. Governor Tilden has won his reputa tion as a reformer mainly by the proses cution of the Canal Ring in the State of New l*ork. I will not follow others in questioning his motives, but readily admit that prosecution to have been an enterprizo requiring considerable cour age, circumspection and perseverance, for which he should have full credit. Should he be elected Preside! the will doubtless eject form their places, and, if possiUe, otherwise punish al! the dia honest officers new in the service. HOW MR. SCHURZ “DTSPOSED OF MR. HAYES.” Lt. Gov. Muller of Ohio relates that at the Fifth avenue Conference last May, when he bad read the passage of his address which follows, Mr. Schurz “turned to us and remark ed plainly, as if it were a self evident matter: ‘that disposes of Mr. Hayes!” The passage is as follows : “We shall support no candidate who, however favorably judged bv his near est friends, is not publicly known to posess those qualities of mind and char acter which the stern task of genuine reform req ires, for the Auier'can peo ple cenuot afford to risk the future of the lepublic iu experiments of merely supposed virtue or rumored ability to be trusted on she strength of private recoin endations.” Mow H Is in Mississippi. The most notable piece of news we have from Mississippi is the following : l’he ex-Senator Bruce mentioned was a slave of Maj. Jen try, of Bet tis county,Mo.the late independent can didate for Governor : lt is peculiarly gratifying to us to note the number of colored as well as white Republican leaders who are coming up to the support of ihe Beuiocraiic ticket in the several Soul bet n States, especi ally in Mississippi,Louisiana and South Carolina. The latent of these to espouse our cause and make it their own is ex- Senator Bruce, who, while he still claims to be a Republican, yet advises h s people to vote for the BeuaocraMC nominees throughout the State Fro ;. Mr. Williams, of Floryviile,Bolivar co., we learn that Bruce recently made a speech there, in which he urged his hearers to vote with their brethreu, and so uphold the cause of good, safe and economical governor nt. Senator Bruce and all of his color who are ir. the least helping the Bemocrat in this emergen cy, can feel assuied that their work is appreciated by the Bomocrats of the South, and that they will make it their special duty to prove that appreciation in right ways whenever opportunity of fers.—Memph is A qpeal. A stane coach was robbed of SG4 000 in gold, in 1870, by five men who burs ied tne plunder agreeing to return and get it after the search was over. They weie so closely watched, however that they dared not go near the place : and lately four of them met in San Francis co. They were penniless, and in order to get the money with which to make the journey to Idaho, they made Geo. R Baily a partner, he furnishing the needed cash On arriving at the place where they had buried the gold, they saw that it was gone. The fifth robber had been there before them. "’hey went bick to San Franci eo and obtain ed a heavy bar of bogus gold, told Bai/ ly that it was the reuia nder of the plun der and gave it to him in consideration of 81,000 in money. As he was cross ing the Oakland in a ferry boar, with the bar in a bag three men seized it an t threw it overboard, having been hired to be so by the robbers as a means of hiding the trick The three men were arrested the story is here given as sworn to before the court. A Washington dispatch says it has been positively ascertained tba a plan has been perfected by which several thousand negroes are to be transferred from Maryland and West Y irginia into North Carolina to vote the Republican tick/it in the hope of carrying the State for Hayes. One part of this scheme is under the command of a notorious coU ored politican of this oity named Perry Carson, who was, in this way, an active agent of the old District. ' ‘ * i “ In tdvanco. SOUTH CAROLINA. The Situation as Regarded by Officers and Soldiers—Remo* cratic Tenders to be Ar rested on the Ray of Elections— Progreis ot the Canvass - Columbia, S. 0 , Oct 24, 187t> Au iuformal canvass of the troops, offi cers as well as soldiers, that have recent ly arrived here made to ascertain the political situation from their standpoint, elicit the information that first they regard their position as excessively lu dicrous ; second, that they find peace and the utmost good older, unendanger ed by the prevailing excitement, and third, that the tfleet of their presence will hardly result in defeating Hamp ton, though it may in some degree hold tl e Republican negro vote together. FEELING AMONG THE TROOPS. The troops in the main concur in the general popular sentiment that a State government which is unable to enforce the law and protect life end pr< per y from vinlence is no government at all. and their opinion is that such a govern ment should be overthrown by the un 3 trameled verdict of the people express ed at the ballot box. No additional troops arrived to-day nor have any left since those reported in my dispatches; but some companies assigned to couti ties to-morrow. As an instance ot the good feeling entertained by the whites towards the soldiers, they are usually furnished with le teri of introduction to the leading citizens in \he localaties to which they are assigned, are general ly met at the depots by crowds and cheered and welcomed with great en thusiasm. To-day while a Hampton meeting was being held at Brancliville; on the South Carolina Railroad, two arriving companies of United States soldiers reeieved three hearty cheers from the immense assemblage. After which soldiers and citizens mixed to gethe , and a general handshaking and confab took place. The soldiers are taken by surprize by these demonstra tions, and find that instead of foes they encounter warm friends at every point. THE PROGRAMME OE ARRESTS It lies transpir-d to day that the sweeping process of arrests, which has been suspended for the past few days, is to be suddenly resumed at a time when it will culminate a great disaster to the Democrats, The programe now is that at the mo ment when the exergencies of the cam paigh require the services of every lead er and voter to inaugerate a general symtem of arrests throughout the State, to have the parries bailed to appear be fore the Uuittd States District*. Court in this city no the 4th of Nevember, so as to fatally euibarass their teturn to vote or to use their influence at the elec tion in their counties. The programe is further borno out by the fact that United States Ma'shall Wallace, whose father is a candidate for reflection from the Fourth Cohgressional District, how doubtful, is endeaering to have that district heavily garrisoned with troops, although no disturbance has been reported from that section. Wal lace’s ouly chance of ele-tion lies in tire effect of the troops and the intimida tion which may be droduced by whole*, sale arbitrary arreste. THE NaFRO MILITIA. Information has been recievyd here from Timmonsville, Darlington county, where the Dlicks largely prominade, that there is a negroe militia company there, armed with niuety breech-loading rifles, who drill regulorly with loaded guns, three cases of ammunition having been recently issued to them. The mi litia law requires the deposit of the arms armours, but the members of this com pany, in common with other militia, carry their guns to their cabins. Last Satuaday the compauy paraded through the steets under arms, and uttered vio lint threats against white and colored Democrats. The Democrats having disbanded theio rifle clubs could make no organized resistence to an attact which the recent proclamations by em boldening (he more turbulent spirit among the blacks have a direct tenden cy to produce. CHAMBERLAI l INVISIBLE. Govarner Chamberlain was inexoradlv invisible to visitors. He was locked up all dav writing. As the city and State have been in profound peace for the past few days the important business which so engaged His Kxeell ncey can only be sutmised.

Attention has been repeatedly called to the affi* davits made against the principal gen* tic nun in the parish, otv the ex~parte testimony of ce~tain witnesses who were run off’from the parish and secreted ii the city. It is said that the artests will be made at the grand Nichollsand Wiltz barbaeuo, to be held at Bayou Sara to day, when the chief whites will be gath ered in one place. The Radicals do not attempt to con ceal their wicked designs. They admit it is the policy of the Democrats to pre serve the peace; it is none the less the policy of the Radicals to incite-a con* A ct. Assaubs have been made on Dem ocratic negroes of Bayou Sara. Weber and Swazie, the promoters of former ri ots, are on the lookout for another opportunity to arouse a race conflict, and in the present state of the public mind in West Feliciana a tumult may arise at any moment. NO. 11. The responsibility for any disturbance which may occur devolves upon the Radical party —upon the Governor of the State, who affords no piotection to its citizens ; upon a United States Dis trict Attorney who prepares affidavits upon the ex parte testimony of sudorn ed witnesses; upon a United States Marshal, who executes oppressive and iufaoous writs; upon a Radical candi date fur State Seuate who is arming a body of deluded negroes ; upon a negro candidate for the House of Repeesenta tives, who seek to arouse the murder ous instincts of his race, and with his own hands strikes the first blow.
