Without violating the letter of the law lie has been able, in a great measure, to hinder the fall aud efficient execution of the law. His acts and those of his advis ers are, to-day, the chief obstacles to the prompt restoration of rebel States, and Congress proposes to remove those ob stacles by transferring the power to the hands tf one who has shown his loyalty to the country, aud his willinguess to obey the laws of the Uniou. Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat the long catalogue of obstructions which he has thrown in the way by virtue of the power eouferred upon liini iu the recon struction law of lrib'7, but I will allude to one example, where he has found in a Major-Generai. of the Army a facile instrument with which more effectually to obstruct the work of reconstruction. This case is all the more painful because si n otherwise meritorious officer, who bears honorable scars, earned iu battle for the Union, has been made a party to the poll cal : madness which has so long marked the conduct of the President.

IT The cool impudence of the Radical party in claiming to be patriotic, national and cpiwvative, is wonderful indeed when wc tak a calm , survey of. its past record. It was born in the throes of revolution, blood and death. Its patriotism consisted in di viding our country, in raarring and desolat ing the most prosperous anjl happy section, and in the attempt to impoverish and en slave its citkeuf. Its nationality mear seen tralization, dcspotism the elimination of gfcjtLl UneSi and the denial to the people th le riglut of local self government. Its conser- vatisni is found in ita extreme measures, 8Uch th suspension f the great writ of habefti corpus in times of profound peace; in the passage of the inSHmous Enforcement ActJ the establishmen of the negro Beureau, and ! the disfranchisement of thousands of tne st nien i (he land for partisan and political arsranuizement. it disrupted tne j i union under the pretense of saving it. It overthrew our State governments, reduced them to provinces and denied the people their1 soverign right to chose their rulers. It. placed over ie Southern States bayonet governments, filled our Legislative Halls with thieves and camp followers, interlopers and 'carpet-baggers who issued bond3 and Jr. fixed millions of debt upon'our people, stole -p. 71 ; the -,K.eeds an(1 fle(1 the Jand , fi , ,. olation, poverty and distress or , ' f .ua-a leaving des- on every hand. The men and the party that did these things are asking the people to give them power aairi. Look at it ! They usurped control of our State and local affairs by the basest and most infamous means, i They held con trol of the Legislative department of North Carolina for nearly three years, and in that timj run our state debt up.from fifteen to near fortv minions of dollars. This lame increase of debt they stole and squandered, t,ie people have to foot the bill. They inaugurated an era of terror, of blood-shed and anarchy; business was paralized and prosperity impossible. The people through their organization, the Democratic party, rostt up in their might and hurled them from power. Harmony and peace were gradual ly restored, the people have begun to pros perl and business to revive; and sothepco plej will continue to prosper, and law and order prevail, if the Demoeratic party is kept solid and its principles upheld if the Dctnocratic masses remain true to themsel ves and to their party organization. But, if thej people become indifferent, and allow tho infamous Radical party to slip into pow er again, we may ex pect a return of the days of i thievery, mis-government, lawlessness and 'poverty. The party and the men who have robbed and oppressod us once wiil rob and oppress us again, j We would have been slaves to-day, but for the Democratic party; wcj will deserve to become slaves should we ever allow that party's banner to trail in the dust, or the Radical party to again slip in to power because of our indifference or lack of proper organization. . It should be the highest duty of every democratic citizen to strengthen his party organization as it is the bulwark of our political safety, and domestic peace and happiness. The Demo cratic party has graduallj recovered from the foul clutches of voracious Radicalism in our county. State and general governments. There is one citadel yet to be taken--the Presidentcy. a"nd if we are true to ourselves, it Will surrender on the 4th of March next. Is there not every incentive for us to remain true;?

A, Colored Democrat Killed by the Greenback Candidate for Sheriff- The Latter Killed in Return. j Mesiphis, Tenn., August 22. From passengers who arrived this morning the following particulars hive been gained of the riot which occurred yesterday at Coffeeville, Miss., the scat of Yallabusha county, sixteen miles north of Grenada, on the St. Louis, Chicago and New Or leans railroad. A special election is to be held next Tuesday, to fill a vacancy in tne sncriit s oince over which there was a contest at the last general election. The democrats and greenbackers have each a ticket in the field. Both parties held a ratification meeting at Coffeeville on Saturday. Each raised a pole. The democrats had a brass band from Grenada, and after the pole-raising marched through the streets. While passing a corner a difficulty occurred between a negro named Spearman, who was in the democratic procession, and A. V. Pearson, greenback candidate for slier iff. which resulted in Pearson shoot- ing Spearman, killing him instantly This was the signal for a general melee, and a volley of shots were opened on Ptarson, who received three wounds, from the effects of which -he died last night. Two of Pearson's friends, Kelly and Reddick, were wounded. For a time a perfect pandemonium reigned, the excitement running so high that the Walthal Grays, a military company of Grena daj Miss., where telegraphed for, but the order was subsequently counter manded. Last night Coffeeville was quiet. ; : . Everything Lovely in Indi ana. Washington, August 26.

On Wednesday, near Chochrane, Ga., four young white men disguised themselves and went to a negro cabin, broke down the door and commenced firing into it. The occupant, John Brown, seized his double barrel gun, which was loaded with buck shot, and fired both barrels, killing two brothers, named Dykes. The tops of their heads were blown off. The negro made his escape. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict of justifiable homicide. A young woman at Alden, Iowa, said she "wished to heaven she might die that day." A terrible storm arose immediately, with thunder and light ening, and s'he imagined that it might have some relation to-hercase.

Forty-Two Days on Cider. Mrs Hannah Bent, of East Bostou was kept alive for fortv-two days duriuc a recent illness by moistening her mouth with ci der. Her stomach could not endure tea, coffee, milk or even water, aud it is doubt ful whether it ever received more than a ppooutal of tho cider with which her mouth was moistened. Something broke in her stomach, which gave her relief, and she gradually recovered, and is now in the enjoyment of her usual health. She was attended daring her forty-two days' fast by Mrs. Cummings, who states pos itively that nothing but cider entered Mrs. Bent's mouth during that time. It is he lieved that abstinence from food saved her life. Boston Traveller.
