Randolph A. Shotwell, Associate Editor. CHARLOTTE: MONDAY, OCTOBER ' 19, 1874. Wn- Lloyd Garrison, No. 4. We commend to the special attention of Mr Garrison, the following letter from Mr Simmons, brother of the Collector of the port of Boston: Boston, October 1, 1874. To the Editor of the Herald: I well know what opposition I shall meet with in giving the following facts to the public. I alone am responsible for the statement I am about to make. The ques tion I asked was, "what is Butler's party." It is chiefly fraud and corruption. For three years as a United States officer in the Government house and using Govern ment time, I have done that lor the But ler party, which at this moment brings a blush of shame to my face. I have gone to New Bedford, Lawrence, Fall- liiver, Salem and other places, and have used the power I possessed as a United States of ficer to intimidate men in the liquor busi ness into working and voting for B F But- itJI. J. litto, nunc on wjui, yu.y.-m. vu-. cusses in Boston and other places men tioned above, in the interest of Butler. I well know that Butler, with all the power be has, will emieavor as his leaders have stated to "oust me," but fearlessly I give the public these facts and hold myself per sonally responsible for what I say. I have received money from United States Mar shal Usher and others of gutter's men to carry all the force to work for Butler, and wh.Ue in New Bedford just before the But ler caucuses last year, I received .money from the hands of Butler's partner to car ry the caucus, there money was used for that purpose, and I also received money from Usher to go to Fall River and pack the caucuses there for Butler. 1 stand ready as a young man and formerly a But ler man to take the stump in any place be tween the hills of Berkshire, and the shores of Providence down, to proclaim to the State and the world the rottenness and corruption that fills to perfection the But ler organization. I well know I shall be accused of treachery and falsehood but I stand ready to meet any or Butler s men on any platform in any place in this State and discuss the merits of Butler. They will call me insane perhaps, but every man who knows my record as a soldier and a citizen, will say that I mean just what I say, and have the courage to back it all at any time and in any place. I hold myself personal ly responsible for every word I utter, and it is my earnest wish to speak before the people of Salem as soon as possible on this matter. I shall be attacked on every side by Butler, who has been my friend, but with truth on my side and possessing the pluck to speak it, I defy tbeni one and all, and I now throw down the glove. The fellow, who frankly acknowledges that he received and used .money for cor rupt purposes, is not an obscure man. He is a prominent citizen, Mr Garrison, of your saintly State that has wept in . dust and ashes over Southern sins. The fellow Butler is not au obscure man. He was a Federal General, and it is believed was once by chance, within four miles of a rebel battery. He is the confidential friend of your President. He is the acknowledged leader of your party. He has a world wide reputation as the most brazen-faced rogue and unscrupulous 6camp "now liv ing. A bully in the presence of women, a coward in the presence of men, spoon-thief, black mard. turn coat, slanderer, fanatic. ruffian, the skunk of mankind there is no one living so fit to be at the head of the party of great moral ideas. In another column, Mr Garrison, will be . found the names of certain individuals, who received money from . Wm Pitt Kel logg to aid that thief in his usurped gov ernment over the people of Louisiana. One of the names is that of Caleb Cushing of pious, South-hating Massachusetts. He is not an obscure man. He was once Tj S Minister to China. He is now U S Minis ter to Spain. ' He is one of -the foremost men rvf trmr nortu an A Vino Vioor rormrAaA -. i x- J . . "to as one of the most honest. -, We also .find the name of Matt Carpenter, Senator, of the United States, a dissolute debauchee, but the very most influential man in the TJ S Senate with the party of progress, in your letter to the Boston Journal, you specially mentioned Louisiana, as one of the worst rebel States, where thev hat ed the "dear old flag" and murdered ne groes and loyal whites. Now Mr G ., im- - : - ci.i. i i i r(V:n if ' . ' , ujuic jimr utaio bu ue in IP5 r ljouwiana, imagine that Uen TuorL,ba Lad gone to Massachusetts and with the aid of the votes of the non-property holders, back id by 'Federal bayonets had over thrown your1 State Government, had turn ed out of office every tax-payer in the State and had placed the. tax-making power not merely in the bands'of aliens and foreign ers, but of ignorant and vicious men. Snp pose,moreover, it had been discovered that Gen Toombs in order the more effectually to retain his power in your State, had brib ed the Attorney General !and influential members of Congress. Would your people remain quiet under the administration of the Southern carpetbagger? If so, they are degenerate descendants of those who resisted the legitimate government of the btewarts, because it wa8 tyrannical indop pressiTe, and who fought against the legiti mate government of George in, ' because he maintained the4 odious : doctrine that there could? be , "taxation rwitw - sentation.; But when the people of Lou isiana are j restless under - tbe carpet-bag government by Kellogg and his negroes, you denounce them as rebels and murder- era. You are fond of quoting scripture Mr Garrison. Let toe call your attention to a sentiment of the "Great Teacher:" "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to yon, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the pro phets." . . r, -tr '; Cabbiihg tub Electxohs.

The Attorney General insists upon the trial by these courts. Nothing is said in the correspond ence about that private carriage or landau let, which Attorney General Williams paid for with puLlic money. k i i r Tub Wandereb. Gen Grant has left Long Branch and gone out on a rampage among the Western Indians. At Ninita on the 12th inst he made an eloquent speech of 78 words to the Indians. He spoke for a minute and a quarter and was listened to attentively throughout the en tire harangue. THE ELECTIONS ! Ulysses' Throne Built ,on Sand, and the Sand Washing Away ! Unexpected . Democratic Victories. State elections were held on Tuesday in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas. The" result was a gratifying gain for the Conservatives of Ohio, In diana and Arkansas, with a large gain of Congressmen in the other States. We condense the telegraphic reports: Ohio. This State last year elected Allen for Governor by a meagre m8jority of: 817. Now we carry the State by majorities-agreed to be close to 20,000. Thirteen Democrats and seven Republi cans are elected to Congress. Indiana. In 1872 the Democrats elected Hendricks' Governor by the small majority ot 1,148. Now we carry the State by from seven to ten thousand, and gain several Congressmen. Iowa and Nebraska wero Republican last year, and remain the same, though it is claimed that the official reports will show a considerable decrease in tho ma jorities. We gam one Congressman in Iowa. Akkansas elects a Democratic Governor and State officers and adopts tho Dew Constitution by a very largo majority. These statements are made lour days after the election, and, therefore, may be relied on. In Indiana the Democrats gain one U. S. Senator, in place of Pratt, present in cumbent. Perhaps the most important subject to be determined by these elections was the political complexion of forty-three mem bers ot Congress. In the present Mouse the delegation stands 33 Republicans and 10 Democrats. As near as can be deter mined there were elected on Tuesday 24 Republicans and 19 Democrats, thus ma terially changing the odds. Some of the districts are close, with chances in favor of the Democrats j so that the odds may yet be 20 Democrats to 23 Republi cans, instead of 33 Republicans to 10 Democrats, as at present. With the gain of 10 members, the Democrats will still lack some 40 member of changing the Radical majority in the House ; but the prospects are quite bright lor that result. New York. October 16. The Herald thinks that from present appearances, the Democrats have fair prospects of controll ing the next House of Representatives, and that the Democratic vote, will doubtless increase in the November elections. ; It considers the present Democratic success as foretokening a political revolution. The repulse signifies also, that two terms are, in popular judgment, enough ; for Grant. New York, October 16.

Boutnerh Bins: 'and fninkl 1,1." 1 I .1' 7 uo among tnemselves. J Billings vs, MacVeagh-; E. C. Billings of New Orleans was one of the sharp practitioners employed by Kellogg at the expense pf the plundered people of Louisiana, to lobby ihirusarpa tion through Congress, i He made sever al visits to Washington for thatrpurpose, and to use his own words, "immediately upon arriving I had an ipteiyiewitb Morton and the Attorney-General,'' --to concoct plans for securing recognition of this scandalous fraud, j , . . He was profuse in his j correspondence with Kellogg, and labored hard to show him how faithfully he had earned his fees, even when compelled to lie over on the route to the capital by compulso ry detention. In one of his latest letters, dated "Willard's Hotel, Washington, Dec. 3, 1873,' he says : "Dear Governor : I arrived here duly on Monday morning at 6, having been detained at Harrisburg for twelve hours; that time, however, I improved with Wayne MacVeagb, my own friend and classmate, I bad written jto bira, and he has taken and docs take, a great interest in the Louisiana case, land has done much to get Cameron, who is his father-in-law, to take such a decided stand for u." . ! . Notbiag could be more; positive than this assurance, and tho zeal of Billings doubtless recommended him to Kellogg for an additional retainer! It is clear the letter was written with jtbat object in view. Unfortunately for; the energetic Billings, who was thus arguing his case ali" along tho route from New Orleans to Washington, and "improving" every op portunity to gain adherents by the way side, his gushing: correspondence fell un der tho eye of Mr. MaeVeagh, who did not care to bo used as a stool pigeon in such a busir-ess. So bo writes a Jetter which speaks for itself : j "I suppose Mr. Billings confounded, perhaps not unnaturally,) my personal interest in him as a friend and classmate at Yale with his professional interest in the cause of his clients in Louisiana ; for everybody who knows anything of my views on the latter subject, but especial ly Gen. Cameron, with whom I bad a standing difference of opinion about it, knows that I was wholly; unable, after an examination of the facts, to see that Judge Durell's order had any validity, or th?t President Grant was justified in in stalling and upholding the Kellogg Gov ernment. After this flat contradiction, wo sub mit that Kellogg might make a deduc tion from Billings' fee, and turn the difference over to the firm of Cushing, Carpentei, Chandler & Co., who, accord ing to his own account, "worked nobly" for the usurper. Mr. MaeVeagh puts it mildlv when he savs "Mr. Billings con founded perhaps ray personal interest in him as a friend and classmate at Yale, with his professional interest in the cause of his clients in Louisiana." This con fusion was by no means accidental. Bil lings deeired to impress Kellogg with the value of his services, and to do so effectively; he told him 'Wayne Mac Veagb, my old friend and classmate, has done much to get Cameron, who is his father in-law, to take such a decided stand for us." These conspirators had got so much in the habit of falsification, that even among themselves they made lying a part of their daily vocation. Cotton. It is generally conceded that the Cotton crop of 1874-5 will be less by several hun dred thousand bales than that of the pre ceding year, and this, notwithstanding the prospects of an extraordinary crop, until very late in the growing season. Excessive droughts in the Southern and S outhwest ern States, causing the plants to dry up and the bolls to shed, caused a deficiency in that section of from 25 to 40 per cant. In this State, rust, late rains, and the equi noctial gale have made a reduction of from 15 to 20 per cent. The whole estimate for the region of production is not over 3,500, 000. With such a diminished supply, it might be expected that prices would start ofl higher, and that there should be more ani mation in the market. On the contrary, prices rule lower than they did at the close of last winter, and the market has little life in it. At the present prices, there is little profit in the culture. In the days anterior to the war, it was supposed that six cents would pay the cost of production. Now, with the changed system of labor, the de preciation of money, and the enhanced cost of provisions and farm supplies, the cost of production will not vary much from 12 to 14 cents. The margin of profit is nar rowed to its minimum. But we are at the mercy of the northern Merchant and northern Manufacturer. W have forged our own chains. We can not be free until we raise our own provis ions, and buy much less from the North, in clothing, in wares of all kinds, in tools and agricultural implements which ought to be made at home, in costly furniture, m equipages, in everything in tact by which Southern extravagance, in its desire to dis sipate its earning, has sought to keep the South helpless and poor, and increase the already overgrown power and wealth of the North. Raleigh News Nosisa Them Out. We have often been surprised at Grant's great skill in finding out rascals to put them into office. His new Marshal Jewett seems to be a man af ter the Radical heart. Here is what the Dallas (Texas) Herald says of him: 'And now, who is Mr DMA Jewett? He is a Massachusetts man,- and came to New Orleans from his native State with numerous letters of recommendation. Up on these letters he was appointed agent of the Louisiana .Equitable 'Life Insurance com pan v, and located in this city, where he was treated with uniform kindness, and whexe he ' prosecuted his business undis turbed. But something over a -year ago, the general agent of the company, Major VV. (J. Kobins, a Northern man, and a gal lant officer m the x ederal army during the war, visited tuis aerencv. and hndingr that Mr DMA Jewett ha'd stolen upwards of a thousand dollars of the company's money had him arrested for embezzlement. J ew ett was released on bond, but he has never been bock for trial and he now stands in dicted before the district court of Caddo parish as a thief. During his soiourn here be runs his face everywhere he could, and now owes nearly every merchant in town. juajor Jttopins requested several of the par ties the fellow bad swindled to make affi- davits against him, but as the sums were generally small, ranging from ten to thirty uiuicuo, uuuc oi uur mercnanis carea to bother with him. On the return of Major Kobins to New Orleans, an agent" of ther company, now here, informs us a correspondence was en tered into with the gentlemen in Massa chusetts, from whom Jewett had his let ters of recommendation, and it turned out that all the letters were forgeries. , Lieut; Mahmoud Terfiic,' the Turkish cmcer who committed suicide at - Provi dence, R.

But lo ! it turns out that the miserable signers were made believe that the object of tbe petition was to colonize them in the richest portion of ,ouisiana instead of Liberia 1 And great was their indig nation on discovering they had been tricked into begging for their own ex patriation, r In this connection we will state that from present indications the next ten years will witness one or'bbth tho lead ing political parties of the country ad vocating the foreign colonization of the Freeduaen. The constant ill-usage of the Chinamen, by tbe Yankees shows that race prejudices still exist in fall force even in the North; and the perpetual turmoil occasioned by negro complaints and stupidity is fast educating the whole country to wish him at tho farthest. There were some intelligent Northern ers in the Presbyterian Church on tbe evening Mr Lindley lectured on bis African Mission. Did they mentally draw a con trast between the ignorance, filth, and barbarity of the natwe African 'at "his homo, and the large number of genteelly diessed, well-behaved, and comparatively intelligent late-slaves in the gallery ? Did they reflect that the work of the slaveholders, whom they have cursed, derided, and slandered by tonguo and pen ior mree qoarwrs. oi a century, nas been to raise these naked half-cannibals, half-idiots into decency and civilization? Did they think of . the retrogressive changes wrought upon tbe freed men by carpet-bag and radical teaching? We suppose they did not. But to us the un usual number of colored Doonle'in the gallery was suggestive, of thoughts simi? lar to those with which we contemplate the passing away of the Aborigines. Freedom, Radicalism, and whisky are fast doing for the black mau wbal Yan kee treaties and Yankee- whisjiy . bav done for tho' Red man. They are thin ning and sinking. Once there- was a large colored 1 connection with mbstof our city churches ; now they worship by themselves and tail a prey to the schemes or vagaries ot any so-called preacher who can win their confidence.

There is no exaggeration in this-many hundreds ot our readers have wituessed it in all parts of the South. Yet how difficult it would be to persuade even the most fair-minded Yankee, not a resident of the South, that freedom had not been wonderful bless ing to the negroes !
