The attempt ot the Times has proved such a perfect failure, that we would not allude to it, did it not give us the opportunity to show how utter ly regardless of truth and decency the leading administration organ in the city oi New York has become. No more graphic or correct impression of the audacity and recklessness of the charge of the Times can be given to our readers than is contained in the simple statement that the New York Evening I W, itself an unscrupulous ad ministration sheet, rhould feel called upon to administer the following cutting rebuke to its cotemporary and ally. The Post in an article deprecating the publication of alleged unfounded slan derous charges and an unfair use made of the contemptuous silence with which they might well and properly be treated, goes on to say by way of illustration, " Rut let us put this method of proceeding to another test. Nearly two weeks ago the Times ci this city abstracted from the records of the Supreme Court evidence going to show according to that paper " the truth of cer tain charges against Mr. Greeley. " We nccer paid the leisl attention to these charges, because they were not a kind ot argument with tehicli v:e like to deal" We should rather think not ! The argu ment, if such a thing can be called an ar gument, is of a kind that no honest ruau would like to deal with. After the extend ed circulation the Post gave to the charges of drunkenness against Gratz Brown, we confess we think the rebuKe to the Times has an ill grace about it. The Times might well retort upon its friend, t'aat people who live in glass houses ouht not to throw stones. But with this we have nothing to do. We desire only to say about New York, as we said last week about Pennsyl vania, that there is bright hope for the Greeley allies if there be any truth in the old proverb, that " when rogues fall out, honest men get their dues." Mr. CJreelej's Great Speech. We call the special attention of our read ers to the great speech of Mr. Greeley, de livered in Pittsburg last week, the full text of which will be found in another column. When we contrast these noble, statesman like utterances of Mr. Greeley with the words of President Grant, so recently addressed to the Convention of Veteran Soldiers, so called, assemble d at the same place, the difference between the two men stands out so prominently that it seems absurd to suppose that any sane man South of Mason and Dixon's line can hesitate a moment in making his choice for the Presidency. From another point of view, the contrast is no less striking. We were informed by telegram from Washington in our last issue that the President had refused to pardon certain Ku-Klux prisoners in the Albany penitentiary who had been recom mended for clemency, because of a protest, coming from the district where the crimi nals were convicted, from those who would be most endangered by their release. The character of most of the convicts is very bad. Some of them are ignorant, lawless and desperate men, who, it is believed, would not hesitate to wreak vengeance upon those who testified against them." Mr. Greeley speaks words of kindness and conciliation. His utterances indicate, unmistakably, the broad, enlightened views of a far-seeing statesman and philanthropist. General Grant, in refusing to pardon the poor wretches whom even the unfeel ing, merciless detective, Whiteley, recom mended to mercy, exhibits a narrow minded, partisan hate and malignity, not to say delight in human misery, or an ignorance that is simply disgraceful in the chief magistrate of a great nation. President Grant knows, or ought to know, that the statement that the men whom Gerritt Smith and Whiteley recommended for pardon are men whom it would be dangerous to turn loose upon the community, is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. In the first place, if we are properly informed, there were only four persons recommended to be par doned, and one of these has died in a felon's cell, owing to the objections inter posed, it is said, by North Carolina officials. There is no pretence that there is any ' longer any danger from Ku-Klux of any sort, j And yet these poor, ignorant wretches, 1 who ask only the poor privilege of going home to die, are hcraided to the country as enemies to the peace and dignity of the State, so formidable that the safety of the communities from which they have been so lawlessly torn requires that the felon's cell and the, felon's chain sha'l be their lot in this life for all time ! The men whom these poor, dying crea tures can frighten have, we venture to assert, a heavier load of guilt upon their consciences than they have who thus in nocently alarm them. But, beyond the fear of guilty con sciences of North Carolina officials, the re lease of these Albany prisoners will oc casion no apprehension. Indeed, this is a mere pretext. The real purpose is to gain a partisan advantage. The North Carolina officials, Mr. Attorney General Williams and President Grant all know this to be true. It cannot be denied. This shows to the people Grant as he is. The Pittsburgh speech shows Greeley as he is. Let the people choose between them ! Oppression of the South. We are not surprised u hen Senator Wil son, the Radical candidate for the Vice Presidency, stands up and asserts that the Federal Government had been kind and merciful in its treatment of the South; that in fact there had been no despotism on the part of that Government towards our peo ple. In doing this he only obeys his na tural instinct for falsehood. No man, in deed, has a right to be surprised at any thing that Wilson may say or swear to. His disregard of truth is so wanton and so well-known, that his name has become a by-word and a reproach from Maine to California. We confess, however, to some feeling akin to surprise at seeing the New York Evening Post, a journal that affects to be respectable and to have some regard for the usages common among honorable men, coming to the support of Mr. Wilson and seeking to create the impression that wft have nothing to complain of at the hands of the Federal Government. The fact, however, that the organs of the Radical Party feel obliged to deny the truth of the charges of cruelty and oppres sion toward the South, is not without sig nificance. Hitherto the surest way to win t he Northern heart was to tell them about i lie harsh measures that had been taken to break the pride of the Southern chivalry. All that is now changed, and both Repub licans and Democrats have con-blued to hurl the party of oppression and proscrip tion from power. In view of the assertions of pious Bull Hun Wilson and others, it may be well, from time to time, to recall events, that possiily have passed from cur minds, to illustrate the Radical idea of Federal len iency in the administration of law. We venture to say that the annals of no civil ized country will allbrd proof of such bar barous ac'-s a.s have been committed by the Federal Government, through its re cognized officers in the Southern States, during the last half dozen years, and with out rebuke. It is not out purpose to stir up bad blood, nor to revive the sleeping passions of former years, but it is due to truth, and to our own safety, when the Radical party affirms that the South has been kindly treated, to show in what that kindness consisted. The only friendship the South has ever asked from the Federal Government has h'Hm that its oilkers might. execute the 1 iws of the laud honestly, fairly and in accordance with the kuown usages that have prevailed from generation to genera tion. How far this request has been com plied with, the following well authenticated ease, the facts of which were widely pub lished at the time, will attest. If any pun ishment was inllictcd upon Major Lyman and his negro troops, or if any inquiry ever was instituted into their conduct, it was never made public : "Brevet Major Wyllys Lyman, 40th United States Infantry, was, by Special Order No. 72, Headquarters Military Post Goldsboro', dated lGth April, 1S0S, ordered to take twenty men and go to Greenville, Pitt county, and "take quarters at the courthouse until Friday, April 21th, 1SGS, when he was to return to Post Head quarters." Instead of returning to Post Headquar ters, on Saturday night, 2.7th April, Major Lman, with fourteen men, left Greenville, crossed Tar river, and went soiuj eight or ton miles up the Williainston road to the house of a Mr. Riddick Carney, an old man some sixty-live years old, for the purpose of arresting him. Mr. Carney lived at lume, made no pretensa of concealment, went about the county on public occasions md to public places, the court house inclu ded, just as any other citizen, and was liible to arrest at any time. Major Lyman surrounded Carney's house about daylight on Sunday morning, and demanded a surrender. There were present in the house Mr. Riddick Carney and wtfe, Mr. Whitehurst and wife, (Carney's daughter) who were there on a Visit, George Carney, and an unmarried daughter. Mr. Whitehurst, the son-in-law, surrendered, saying he had nothing to do with it. Mr. Riddick Carney and his son George refused to surrender. They w ere up stairs. Tl3 women were allowed to leave the house, but came off in their night clothes. The attack com menced, the Carneys and the soldiers both tiling. Two soldiers were killed, where upon Whitehurst, who was sitting on the poich, was fired into and wounded in three places, once in the bowels, mortally, it is presumed. A soldier, it is said, also clubbed his "musket to knock his brains out, but desisted, Whitehurst beg ging for his life, saying lie was a prisoner in their hands, that he had noth- j h-to do with the matter, had surri- dercd, &c. The house down stairs was pluudered and pillaged and set on tire. Dining the melee, Major Lyman, who was covered by a tree, received a slight wound in the arm. Meanwhile the fire spread ami the flames increased. As the bouse was about to fall iu young Carney came down stairs to the front door, firing a he came, when he was shot and killed, falling out of the door, where he was allowed to remain until his body was so burned and charred that no one could have recognized him. The old man stayed up stairs, defi ant to the last and perished in the flames of his own roof-tree. After the place was cool enough to be examined the bones of a human frame could be identified. The Maior then went back to Green ville with his dead and living soldiers and on Monday returned to Tost Headquarters." This may, indeed, be the only instance in which men were actuady burned alive in the South fay Inderal officers, but there were other cases in which th,e torture was no less cruel. Perhapj the saddest thing of all connected with this whole business is to be found in the fact that this case, horrible and brutal and barbarous a it was, ami perfectly well authenticated, ex cited scarcely any comment ! Our people dared not talk ! Our Oerinnn Fellow-Citizens. The accession of Mr. Frederick Has- saurek, editor of the Cincinnati Volksblatt, to the Greeley allies, seems to forebode danger to the friends of military rule and arbitrary government. Mr. Ilassaurek, it is acknowledged, wields perhaps more in fluence with the German voters in Ohio than any other man in that State. Until last week he has withheld any expression of opinion. The long silence has at last been broken, and with words of such pow er and eloquence as to reach and control everv honest, heart within hearing, no matter whether German or American, na tive or foreign born. The words of Mr. Ilassaurek have done more than this, they have reached the heads and controlled the acts of the Grant people, though in a different way. Mr. Nast's insulting caricatures of German citi zens are no longer brought to the front as campaign documents. They have now nothing but the softest, sweetest cooings for "Our German Fellow-citizens." A few weeks ago our German friends were told that "what we fear in the German is his heels." Now the New York Time, the leading Grant paper in New York, if not in the country, is humble enough to say that uit is easier now than ever before to discover the truth, and no portion of the people desire it more frankly or are more capable of understanding it than our Ger man citizens'." So the Radicals have at last learned that the " German Americans" have heads as well as heeis ! But for all practical Radical purposes it is now too late. The Germans: have given unmistakable evidence of their purpose to support Greeley and Brown. There are 00,000 German voters in Ohio who will vote solid against the corruption and tyranny that has brought the country so near to ruiu and bankruptcy. The Times admits it to be "true that the Germans in the country are devoted adherents to the supremacy of the civil over the military authorities, and the regu lation of governmental action by strict construction of the laws," but does not think they " will take the word of Messrs. .Schurz and Ilassaurek that the Adminis tration has been unfaithful to these ideas." If the "word of Messrs. Schurz and Ilassaurek" was unsupported by proof, we would concur with the Time-", hi thinking the Germans would not take it. Indeed, it is quite a well-known characteristic of that people not to rely upon men's words, but rather to consult the facts and deter mine for themselves. We rather think, however, when it is within the knowledge of every man, that the word of Messrs. Schurz and Ilassau rek is based upon indisputable facts, that our German fellow-citizens will have no hesitation in takimr it. The pious, truth-loving Wilson writes to the Troy Times, saying he does "not wish to write any more letters, and does not intend to do so." We doubt not that if the truth was kuown, the sanctimonious old hypocrite w ishes he had come to this determination long ago, and had stuck to it. He would then not have gotten into the scrape about General Grant's habits, and he would not have been under the necessity of explaining that the letter he wrote denying his Know-Nothing senti ments did not refer to Know-Nothing -speeeliS. And he would also have been snared the necessity of explaining that the letter he asked his German friend to write to the Brooklyn gentlemen denying that he was ever a Know-Nothing, was written without his knowledge or assent. In view of these troublesome consequen ces of letter-writing, we think it time for him to stop. I.O OK ON T1IIS 11 CI l' RE ! CS KEI'J.fcY !

No, I don't want to elect any of those men ; but suppose other people do; who are you or who am I to say whether they shall or not?" This makes a square issue, which is easily met. If Mr. Greeley wants to know who have the right to say that Jelferson Davis, Robert Toombs, and their com panions in hatching the treason of lbOl, shall not again hold cilice in the LTnited States, ive answer, the American people.

Imboden has written a long letter, devoted to the exhibition of the pat riotic labors of Horace Greeley in behalf of the Southern people. The first portion of this letter shows the patient and persistent ellbrts of Mr. Greljy to induce President Grant to allow the people of Virginia an opportunity to vote against the iniquitous disfranchising sections of the State Consti tution framed by the Underwood "black and tan" Convention. The letter estab lishes the fact that through the personal efforts and influence of Mr. Greelejr, Vir ginia was saved from the swarms of hungry carpet-baggers and ignorant negroes who had concocted a Constitution which had been planned for the transfer of that State bodily to themselves, through the operation of the proposed disfranchising clause and the. famous iron-clad oath, of which the State Coustitution was purged when the people were accorded an opportunity to vote separately on these questions. Gen. Imboden further writes : Last Fall a gentleman asked me iu my 1 own room, in New York, if I had ever heard of an interview between Mr. Greeley and President Johnson, a few days after the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, in which Mr. Greeley advised that leading Southern men should be consulted on a plan of reconstruction. I told him I had not. He then eaid he thought it probable Mr. Greeley might have mentioned the matter to me, though he never heard of his doing so to any one. This gentleman then gave me a full and circumstantial ac count of the interview, at which he was present, and in fact had been sent as a friend and messenger by President John son to New York for Mr. Greeley and ac companied h'un to Washington. 1 was ex ceedingly interested in the account he gave of what transpired and expressed the opinion that it was an historical circum stance that ought to be known to the country, showing that there was at least one man Mr. Greeley in the North who, in tli3 midst of the frenzy of excitement produced by Mr. Lincoln's tragical death, had the nerve and the wisdom to suggest that the South should be consulted on the mode of their restoration to the Union. He told me he intended some day to pub lish the facts. LETTERS TO MR. GREELEY AND ANDREW JOHNSON. About the middle of June last I wrote to this gentleman, through Whitelaw Reid, Esq., editor of tin; New York Tribune not having his address and asked him if he felt at liberty to do so, to send me a statement of the facts for use in the cam paign here. Mr. Reid showed my letter, very properly, to Mr. Greeley, from whom I received the following private letter. Act ing upon the permission he gave me, I wrote to ex-President Johnson on the '2'2d of June, enclosing a copy of Mr. Greeley's letter, and asking that he would furnish me with his recollection of the circum stances, and especially with hts part of the discussion, aud permit me to publish his with Mr. Greeley's letter, as establishing the earnest desire of the latter for recon ciliation at that early day; and, above all, his wisdom and magnanimity in suggesting that the iSouth should be represented in the consideration and discussion of any plan that might, be presented. This letter I addressed to Mr. Johnson, at Greenville, Tennessee, hi.s post olliee, and superscribed a request to the postmaster to deliver or senj it promptly to Mr. Johnson, lie has not replied to it. Therefore, deference to Mr. Greeley's wishes precludes me from publishing anything said by Mr. Johnson on the occasion, although informed of all that transpired and authorized by my in formant, who was present, to make any use of it I chose, as the matters discussed were wholly of a public character, all'ect ing the country and not the parties discus sing them. I, however, feel entirely at lib erty to use Mr. Greeley's letter to me as my own discretion may dictate, from other correspondence 1 have had with him since its date ; and I think it does so much hon or to his head and heart, that every friend of the cause of peace and good will among our countrymen, North and South, now represented by him, will thank me for bringing out so striking an illustration of his wisdom and generosity, and which his own modesty has so long concealed. My only regret is that his brief letter cannot be read in the light of all the surrounding circumstances of the occasion. It is a.s follows : mr. greeley's rkply. New York, June 20, 1872. "My Dear Sir I have your letter to Mr. W. Reid. ifi would not wish to publish anything with respect to a private conversation with President Johnson without his assent. 'I did visit lum just before Congress assembled after his inauguration. I sup posed I was invited by him, but wpuld not assert it if he dissented. "I did advise him to call three repre sentative Northern men and three equally eminent Southern men to counsel him as to the best mode of pacifying and harmon izing the country. 1 asked him to invito these to remain m the White House as his guests until they should have agreed upon a plan of reconciliation he meeting and consulting with them wheuevei his daily duties should permit. 'I did suggest to him as conferees on the part of the North Governor John A. Andrew, of Massachusetts ; Gerrit Smith, of New York, and Judge R. P. Spaulding, of Cleveland, Ohio. "I did propose that he should designate and invite Gen. R. E. Lee as one of the conf o ees on the part of the South. "If I named another Southern man to him, I cannot now recall the circumstance. "So much I feel at libeity to state, be cause it refers solely to my own actic n in t he premises. As to Mr. Johnson's part of the colloquy, I cannot speak without his pei mission. But you are at hoerty to send this letter to him, and he may state what he said on the occasion or not, as he shall soe lit. I can remember nothing more of consequence said by me on this occasion, except that I pledged myself to supi ort to the utmost any plan of reconciliation which the conferees should agree upon and l:e should adopt and recommend. " 1'ours, "Horace Greeley. "Gen. J. 1). Imboden, Richmond, Va." WHY THE SOUTH SHOULD SUPPORT THE. LIBERAL CANDIDATE. It w as a knowledge of these and similar facts, and that inside view of his high moral and intellectual traits which several years of personal acquaintance gave me, that enlisted me as an active, though hum ble, supporter of Mr. Greeley tfor the Presidency long before his name was very prominently discussed in that connection. I don't can; what he thought or said about slavery. I don't care what bitterness he may have exhibited, in act or speech, du ring the bitter years of the past. On that seme, if our words were as fully recorded as his, we should appear " even" with him. And when the cool, unimpassioned judg ment of after ages passes in review the his tory of American slavery, we dare not as sert that Mr. Greeley's side of the question will be condemned and ours approved. Already mighty changes in our opinions on this subject are manifest all over the South. Then what matters it to us what were his opinions of slavery, or of us as slavehold ers ? The goodness of his heart made him the enemy cf African slavery, and the same sympathy foi the oppressed makes him to-day the friend of the down-trodden white people of the South. I have trespassed too far on your pa tience already to refer to one or two other striking incidents in Mr. Greeley's life, illustrating alike his wisdom and his good ness. It he is elected, under his benign administration of the government, guided by a degree of intelligence, knowledge and experience so infinitely superior to the pres ent Executive, universal harmony and confidence will be restored to the country, and we of the South njnst bo the largest ga! ners by such a happy change. t i Could I presume that my humble opin ion would hav weight with any portion of the people of the State whose opportunities have been less than mine to study the man publicly and privately, I would assure them that, take him " all in all," he is one of the best, wisest and purest men in our country, and worthy of our unqualified support on hi3 own merits, without regard to the com parative defects of his opponent. I am, very truly, your friend, J. D. Imuoden. To Colonel George W. Boiling, Petersburg. Va. MR. GREELEY MOVEMENTS. TRIP THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA. GREAT SPEECH AT PITTSBURGH. Fellow-Citizkns : The wise King says there is a time for war aud a time for peace. Cries of "God bless you !" The city of Pittsburg has recently witnessed a rehearsal of the iomp and pageantry, tie blazonry and circumstance of civil war. A very large number cf men were collected here at a vast expense with the single pur pose of rekindling the bitterness and hatred, the animosities and antipathy, the fears aud exultations of civil war- for the advantage of a political party. I take you to witness that the greater portion of the journals of Pittsburgh, as. well as the ora tors ca the occasion, have been trying their best to make the people hate each other for the suke of a partisan advantage. A stranger who was reading the journals of Pittsburgh for the last few days would imagine that we were at war, and their purpose was to revive and to exasperate the hatred and animosity of civil war in order to intensify and invigorate their side of the conflict. They talk about rebels and traitors. Fellow-citizens, are we never to be done with this? We demauded cf our adversaries in the great civil war that they surrender their arms and go to their homes. They surrendered them. We demanded that they abandon slavery, and they abandoned slavery. We demanded that they enfranchise the blacks, and the blacks were enfranchised. None but whito men now stand disfranchised on the soil of our country. Cheers. We demanded that they stipulate that the emancipated slaves shall not be paid for, and that the rebel debt shall never be paid by the Gov ernment or by the State, and they assented to that. So far as I can see, every single demand made on the part of-the loyal States and the loyal people has been fully complied with on the part of those lately in rebellion. Everything has been done that we asked ; everything has been conceded, and still they tell us, "Why, we want them to repent." Have they not brought forth works meet for repentance? Cheers. Coming together in a solemn Conven tion, the representatives of that Southern I people have given their assent to the plat j form of the Cincinnati Convention, w hich was the most intense, the most complete Republican platform that had ever been presented by any National Convention whatever. Loud and prolonged ap plause. All this being done, we are told by these gentlemen who met " All this is mockery, all this is fraud, yea don't mean anything by it ;"' aud the cry goes on, " Rebels and traitors, rebels and traitors," " denunciation," "proscription," the same as ever. Four years ago in the Republi can National Convention, it was declared that this proscription si ould speedily cease. Four year3 hive passed and still it is main tained. There are this di y thousands of people of Arkansas alone the m st intel ligent, the most resj onsible people of that State forbidden to exercise the right of sullrage forbidden exclusively by the par ty that meets here and shouts for Grant and Wilson. Nobody else asks for pre scription. No other party asks that any human being should s'and proscribed on our soil for a rebellion that ceased seven and a half years ago no party, no men of any party but this, that held a great mili tary parade here this week in order to further and further separate and divide the hearts of the American people from each other! Cheers. They hold essential to their triumph that hatred should contiuue, that distrust, suspicion, and alienation should continue. Do what you will, do what you may, they are determined not to be satisfied. Now, fellow-citizens, it is not enough that those who fought against the Union should be proscribed ; those of us who stood for it are equally denounced, if we do not happen to agree with them iu our present politics. Cheers. Here stands one who is charged by them with being a Secessionist. Great laughter. Could that be true, fellow-citizens Look the facts in the face. FREE DISCUSSION DEMANDED. When Lineclu had been elected and this conspiracy for secession began to advance, we Republicans were told by our own men and told still more by those out of the cir cle, " You must back out of your Republi canism, you must surrender your opposi tion to the exteis on of slavery or consent to a great civil war." This they said was the only alternative bloodshed and dev as- , tation over the whole country, or you shall j surrender the principles on which you have just carried the election. 1 was one of those who said " No, there is no such alternative." I denied that the great ma jority of the Southern people were against the Union. 1 demanded that there should be an open, free discussion, that Southern people might have an honest, unterriiied, unconstrained vote, and, if they approved, if the people of the South said they wanted disunion, I w ould consent to iL I knew they would rot. I knew that the great majority of the Southern people would have voted as they actually did that Winter, pot for secession, but for clinging to the Union cheers; and now, to-day, if the nation were to be imperiled, and there were just two modes of saving It, to trust the chances of civil war or the chances of a free vote of the Southern people, I would very greatly prefer to take the latter chance rather than the former. Cheers. For, fellow citi zens, they do greatly misunderstand aud malign this American people, when they assume that, in cold blood, before there had been any clash of arms, the people in the South,any mo re than the poople in the Noi th, desired disunion. Cheers. OBJECT OF THE ORIGINAL. SECESSIONISTS. In its. inception, iu its origin, the great masses of those who consented to this se cession movement meant nothing by it but to make us consent to the extension of slavery. That vas their purpose and that purpose I did my best to resist and defeat. Cheers Well, the war is ended. I think it ought to be ended. A voice : "Let us have peace." We had a great, a terrible, a bloody, a destructive civil war. Our suc cess was perfect. The defeat of the adver sary was more complete than any defeat recorded in history. They have suffered much, they have conceded all. Cannot we afford to be magnanimous at least? Cheers. But, fellow-citizens, they say that the Southern people may vote. ,Some ot them may; but the instant they vote the cry is raised : "See how these fellows vote !'' They cry : "You must vote the other way." Is that an election ? Or is it only the fashion of war in another aspect? Fellow-citizens, you belong to one of the great hives of American industry. I plead here for peace and reconciliation as the interests especially of this busy, prosperous, energetic people. Cheers. I have sympathized with Pittsburgh; I have rejoiced in her prosperity ; I have wondered at and admired her magnificent growth. You surely know no place on this continent has "been dearer to me than Pittsburg. There las D3tn up spot in whose prosperity I have more hear tily rejoiced than this, because I believe her prosperity was firmly linked and bound together with the prosperity and growth of our whole country. Now I appeal to her business, I appeal to her merphants, I ap peal to her manufacturers, to stop this war. It has goue on long enough. A voice in the crowd' It stopped itself yesterday.". Laughter. You cannot afford to teach a part of your country to hate you, to feel that your success, your greatness, is iden tical with their humiliation. ... People of Pittsburg, I ask you to take a generous part in tbi3 work of reconciling your country men to each other. Applause. I ask you to lake 'the ' hand held out to you by your, Southern brethren in their adoption of the:. Cincinnati platform, by those who were.our enemies, but are again our fel low country men. I ask you to grasp that hand aud say, " Brothers, we differed, we fought. . The war is ended, let us again he fellow-countrymen and forget that we have been enemies." Loud applause. Friends and Tellow-citizeus, I bid you goodnight. Leud applause anil prolonged cheering. STTE NEWS. Fine tobacco crop in Iredell. Frost in Statesville last week.

Gambling is getting to be a popular Sun day amusement on the suburbs of Ral eigh. A negro man, one Bill Bernard, out raced a white woman in Greenville re cently. So says the Spectator. The Tarboro' Enquirer says Mr. D. II. Barlow obtained the silver cup for the best colt exhibited at that place on 17th inst. There were seven contestants. Mr. Roach, the Deputy Marshal who combated with Mr. Smith, at Greenville, has had his arm amputated, says the "Wil son Plaindealer. A Raleigh Era correspondent writing from Salisbury on the 20th states that a Mrs. Minor, of that town, iu attempting to drive a favorite dog from the railroad track, was run into by a train and killed almost instantly. The Wilson Le dger says : We learn from several gentlemen of Joyners Depot, this week, that the work of surveying the rail road from JoyncrJ to Greenville is pro gressing finely, and that grading will com mence soon. The Weldon News says : A vagrant ne gro who has been hanging around town for some time, either unable, or unwilling to work, was found dead ou the platform of the Petersburg warehouse, on Thursday morning. Nothing of his history is known. Two negroes, employed on the material train of the Petersburg and Weldon Rail road, became involved in a difficulty near Pleasant Hill, on the line of the road, when one of them stabbed the other, inflicting a dangerous wound. The party is now in jail. On Monday last Henderson Adair and his two surviving sons, Crayton and Avery, were removed lrom the jail atHen dersouville to that in Rutherfordton, in which county they are to be arraigned for the murder of tha Weston family. Ashe ville Pioneer. There are ;"0 cases on the State docket and 104 cases on the criminal docket awaiting trial in Cumberland county. One of these, as we learn from the Eagle, is a capital case, the murder of Bledsoe by T. J. Bullard some time ago. Bullard has not yet been captured. The Winston Sentinel says : The Char lotte papers are boasting over the fact that Dr. Ashbury, near that place, will make 500 gallons of wine from live acres. That may do for Mecklenburg, but S. T. Ilick ey, of j Salem, will make 2,500 gallons on four acres, besides 1,000 gallons of rasp berry and blackberry wine. The corps of engineers on the Raleigh aud Augusta road, reached this place last Friday, having surveyed two routes a part of the way, crossing Pee Dee below the mouth of Little River. They said they were going to make a survey higher up on their return. They speak hopefully of making the road. Wadesboro' Herald. Serious Affair. Ou Friday last a difficulty occurred between two white boys and a negro of this place, in which one of the boys, William Davis, of Beaver Dam, was dangerously wounded by a kuife in the hands of the negro, the artery in his wrist being severed, from winch he bled profusely. Davis is now lying in a critical condition at the house of Mrs. Whiteside, and is attended by physicians from town. We have not heard of the arrest oL' the col ored boy. Asheville Citizen. More Persecution. A gentleman from Shelby tells us that a Marshal from Liu colnton informed him that he had arrested and bound over thirteen alleged Ku-Klux in Cleaveland last week. The gentlemanly Marshal boasted that he did not present his warrant as the Scoggins gang did. Arrests will be frequent before the November elec tion. These bayonet fellows have no idea of civil liberty aud faith in free institu tions. Southern Hejme. We are informed by letter that on Sa turday last Capt. Nimrod Jarret, who lives a short distauce beyond Franklin, was found dead not far from his house, with a bullet hole in the back part of his head, bis watch gone and his pockets rilled of their contents. It appears that a stranger hailing from Tennessee, stopped at the house of Mr. Jarret, aud in company they started for Franklin. Shortly alter the body cf Mr. Jarret was found lying in the road. His supposed murderer was pur sued and captured and is now ia the jail at Franklin. Asheville Pioneer. Wc are pained to hear of the death of I Capt. Obadiah Woodson, which occurred at ms resilience, in oansuury, on tne litu inst. He was for a number of years C. C. Clerk of Rowan, and at the lime of his death was Register of Deeds. He was truly a good man and beloved by all, and we do not believe he had apctsonal enemy on earth. Capt. Woodson was elected to represent Rowan county in the Conven tion, iu August, 187L He was widely known as an honest, conscientious and upright Christian gentleman. Statesville intelligencer. Henderson Fair. Preparations are in progress which justify the belief that the Fair will be a great success. The society is building a hall, 40 by 70 feet in dimen sion, to be called Floral Hall,and to le used for purposes of exhibition. It will be two stories high and the - ampitbeaf re will b3 capable of seating 2,000 people. Capt. J. J. Davis, of I ouisburg, will de liver the annual address. The track is one of the l est in the South, being three-quarters of a mile in length. Great interest in the Fair is man ifested in all the adjoining counties, and if the weather is good,' the Fair will be the finest ever held at Henderson. - Foolish Grantite. On the 17th a ne gro name Aleck, hailing from Newton, threw a cross tie on the track of the W-, C. & R. R. R. above Li ncolnton, and theu took his , stand to watch the effect. The engineer saw the obstruction in time to stop the train. Conductor Gilford and his man Sam arrested Aleck and brought him down to the road and found that his bare foot exactly filled the track by the cross tie. Aleck is now in Lincoln jail medita ting on Grant's chances for a re-election. Southern Home. We learn from a gentleman just from Yancey county, that one day last week the prisoners in the jail at Burnsville, two in number, made their escape by cutting a hole through the wall large enough to ad mit of their exit. One' of the fugitives is William Haney, convicted of tlie murder of his cousin, James Haney, whom he lulled in ISOo. Haney was tried for this offense at the Spring term of Yancey Court, and pleaded the Apinesty act pf the Legis lature of lSGo-'GO, granting a) soldiers of both armies full pardon for crimes commit ted prior to January 1, J800. The Judge ruled that this act applied only to enemies that Is, to crimes perpetrated by the sol, diers ot one army upon the soldiers of the other, aud vice verm and not to those contending for or espousing the same cause. From this docision Haney's counsel ap pealed to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal confirmed the decision. Hanf.v was to have been sentenced at the Fuji term of Court, m hich occurs next month but in all probability he has spared th.'

Pear Journal : After a few hours d' pleasant travel from Fayetteville, 1 tind myself again at this Institution partaking of the literary dish prepared by Messrs. Whately, Blackslone, and others. 1 am in no wise anxious to be. a participant, inas much as that prepared by these preat authors is neither pleasant nor easy to take as a stimulant this cool weather. Quite a spirit of improvement has been manifested since last session. The Collegv and grounds have been greatly improved at an immense outlay, and it appears as if the Faculty are determined to have the most beautiful aud best furnished College iu the South. Exercises begauon the 1-Vih under auspices truly favorable to the suc cess of the Institution, as the increase of students is twenty-live per cent, over last session. The students, as a whole, are very gentlemanly and kind ; each one ap pears to know his duty and nobly perSoiins it. By a recent ramble into the farming .ac tions of several counties I find good crops of cotton and orn, though some localities are infeste 1 with "traveling" agents, the caterpillar, &c. The negroes, I find in some localities, are forming themselves into clubs or leagues to strike for higher wages, ami many farmers are losing their crops of cot ton on account thereof. It is all the work of carpet-bag polit iciaus, to enrage the ne gro against ihe white man for political pm poses. Students from all parts of the State speak favorably of the Liberal movement. In most every township Greeley aud Brown Clubs are forming, and there is a geneiy, stampede from the Grant camp. One sfn dent says that in his township, out of eighty-six registered negro voters, '. eight belong to the Greeley and Brown Club. This speaks well for the Rkfoiim movement, which is the only hope of the Republic. Respectfully, &c, Loxo Creek. Host aiitl Wont C'limfttca for t'oiisuiii;. lives. Professor Andrews, of the Chicago Medical College, has been classifying th' medical facts contained in the census re ports of 1800 and 1870, and from thee he finds that consumption and cancers arc two diseases which are similarly affected by and prevail iu the same regions, and that, the two laws governing their preva lence are as follows: Firt, these uo diseases are abundant near the s a, a id diminish as you recede from it ; and see nid, at equal distances from the 'u they p'evail most at the Noitb, and di minish as you go South. Fiom this it follows that the best resort for a consump tive or cancer patient is some point whic'i is nl the same time as far South and as fa: from the sea as possible. Such a place is New Mexico, where the deaths from consumption are only three per cen., oi Arkansas, where they are live percent., wnile in New England, which is colder and sea-girt, they are twenty-five per cent. Entirely iu accordance with this rule, b;:t contrary to the popular opinion, Minneso ta !S a worse place than any other Staf.t, having fourteen per cent, of deaths fo iu consumption, though this may be because consumptives are sent there to set k health. Mississippi, Alabama and Florida have each six per cent.; Georgia and South Carolina have five j'i cent. - How to lult iubiicco. The best thing to hold in the mouth is a mouthful of colli water renewed every iev minutes. It will take away the craving for tobacco quicker than anything else, and is wholly unobjectionable. A pine stick is the best of anything to chew, but the ob jections to that, and to anything that is chewed, is that it over-exercises and weak ens the salivary glands. In quitting tl use of tobacco, quit at once, and not at tempt to leavu oil gradually. The Cincinnati Inraelite says: 4 Show mercy, ladies aud gentlemen, to iSena or Wilson. He confesses, repents, and. ! sides, soft-soaps you pleasantly. V hen he said, in the Senate of th" United St au.s the Jews were the race who stoned tli-1 prophets and crucified the Redeemer '' the world, ho meant no harm; when, as a Konw-Nothiug, ho insulted every foreigner, and sanctioned persecution against them, he meant no harm. He did not mean i be Vice-President of the United State-, and it was fashionable then to liaiiipie upon the foreigner and spit upon the .1 w. But now it is all over, and Senator WiN'n is a candidate before the people, iiu ludi: ur foreigners and Jews. Now he is quite pleasant and obliging. Be generous ; show mercy to a repenting man. As regards ourselves, we forgive him this sin and all the others be has committed ; but we can not vote for a man to elevate him to the second highest olliee in the country whose conceptions of justice, equality and libeity are so narrow and ungenerous.' Masonry, both in its e-sences and us principles, is everywhere one, althoi.gh it has neither a common centre nor a gi heral government, aud it is not the least of it phenomena, that yhile it presents a unity of views and conformity to doctrines over the whole earth, neither their views nor their doctrines" emanate from one head nor froiR one board of directors. Never laugh at a child when it asks a foolish otiestion. it is not foolish to the child, if the child is sensitive, one in stance of laughing and ridicule, in such a case might forever chill its aspirations after self-education. No matter how trivial a child's question may seem to be, it is en titled to a prompt aud kind answer.
