For the last eight or ten years in most of the Southern States in which the Radicals control the offices, there have been scenes of violence and great oppression. The common re sort ot Radical Governors, especially of the carpet-bag sort, is to the Uni ted States authorities for help. In Louisiana, in Arkansas, in Mississip pi, in North Carolina, and in South Carolina, the Federal authorities have been appealed to in the past for help to suppress disorders and to intimi date and coerce free-born Southern white men. ' Everybody knows the old story. The, negroes of the South have re ceived very great detriment at the bands of the National Government. From the days of the abounding promises when forty acres of land and a whole mule were to make glad the hearts of the then recently en franchised freedman, to the infamous and inexcusable order of Cameron, the poor credulous darkey has been taught to lean more on the patron age and protection of the parental government at Washington than upou industry, sobriety, honesty and submission to law. The result has been just as, every sensible man ex pected. Idleness has abounded, and, in some sections, acts of riot and death have olio wed. Disorder and violence have sprung as quickly rom the seeds sown by the indus trious manipulators of "the mfm and brother," as armed men from the teeth of Cadmus. Whether the freed men iu the two Carol! nas will learn to distrust their so-called friends, as the negroes are beginning to do itf other Southern States, only time will reveal. Igno rant, superstitious, credulous, 'and in fatuated, the "powers that be" sedu lously endeavoring to use them for their own reprehensible and sinister purposes, it would appear an impos sibility that they should declare their independence of the utter ty ranny that controls them. I We shall rejoice when we can see the co lored voteri of out State breaking in pieces the chains that bind them to the service of a few whites in the different counties, who use them so effectually in advancing their own peculiar interests. , . From South Carolina, then,! come sucimtiaiugs irom aay to aay as to encourage us to hope that thousands of the more intelligent and self-re specting colored men wilt vote for Gen. Hampton, who is a true man every inch of him, and who is ma king a grand fight for a better go vernment for deliverance frorn the crushing and disgraceful party that has brought so much of unhappmess and suffering upon the people of that State. Only a short time, ago he said to the correspondent of a Republican paper "My God, wo cannot stand it! Our subsistence is consumed, and the very name of South Carolina has become a by- .-- - word and a reproach. We are in the gulf of despair. If the Northern people yes, even the Northerb Re. publicans knew our condition, knew it just as it is, knew , how we have suffered and how we have ' been robbed, their sympathies would be extended to us in this slrnsrsrle. What we want is relief from the rob bers." The robbers are getting alarmed doubtless. They may win, butevery good man must hope for a better fate for the State. The Philadelphia Times, referring to the party of booty and pillage, says: "Aid this is the party and the ticket with which Northern people are expected to sympathize, and for the success of which Chandler is to send his money, and Taft his marshal?, and Cameron Las troops to South Carolina. And this is the work fur which the New York Times thaoks God and which it calls a victory for reform. Another Hayes organ has said that when the people of the North have to choose be tween an ex-rebel and a thief they will take the thief. We do not believe it. The sympathies of all honest people, North and South, must go out towards the Conserva tives of South Carolina in their struggle for honest government. Shame to the party that would have it otherwise." We thank the Times for suih pa triotic and eloquent expressions. That the Conservatives of that-State deserve the sympathies of at true lovers of good order and prosperity, read the following manly declaration of Gen. Hampton: "Whatever I may be able to do for you if fou place me in the chair of Governor; if cannot suppress a riot; if I cannot go to the people of Carolina, white and. black, and say to them that these are the laws and you must uphold and enforce them; if I cannot appeal to Carolina's sons to support me in the laws that I am sworn to main tain, then cast me out with scorn from the office that I dishonor." FIG tKES AND F.K J S, We resume our gathering of facts and. figures illustrative of Radical rule in the counties in which the ne groes have the control. Let us look atj Wayne connty. -In 1874, the tax oji real and personal property was 50 cents. That was under the Radical administration. In 1876, the tax was 28f cents. A very great redaction surely, and the sum raised from all the tax payers at these rates would show an enormous difference. A re duction of 44 per cent, in the taxes on the entire real and personal pro perty of a large county would: show a striking result. In 1874, county bonds weie worth only some 40 or 50 cents in the dollar; now they sell for their fall value, bringing a hundred cents in the dollar. For six years, under Radical rule, the expenditures averaged annually $12,958.42. Du ring two years of Democratic! rule the expenses only average $7,818.37. That is to say, the people of Wayne county actually save each year $5, 140.00 now the Democrats sire in power. Such facts and figures speak powerfully for the party of Reform and Retrenchment. j The total taxes of the rich county of Pitt, where honest Democrats; have the sway, is less than the actual sum paid by the Radical officers of Edge combe for the maintenance cf some jr if. ' " . ihf - thirty paupers. The Raleigh Sentinel has published a table showing the county tax paid by seventeen counties controlled by negro Voters, lejijfri Bertie, Chowan, Craven, Edgecombe, Frank lin, Granville, Greene, Halifax, Hert ford, Jonesj Lenoir, New Hanover, Northampton, Perquimans, Rich- mond, Warren and Caswell. They pay a county tax for general pur-, poses of $302,522 25 equal to two- thirds of 'the total tax paid to the n. . ? . "' . ' F otate oy tne nmety-iour coupiies As the Sentinel says, these seventeen rieh counties pay one-third of the State taxes, and when we sum up their county, town and Special taxes, they payTfibre than the total State tax paid by the other seventy-seven counties, who are freed from the thraldom of negro domination. Is it too ranch to ask of tho tax payers of those 74 counties who have escaped the terrible inflictions that have been visited upon New Hanover, Granville, Warren, Jones and the other seventeen counties, to vote for the amendments to the con stitution that some measure of relief may be obtained for their suffering and oppressed brethren ? Surely, if the people of the .4 counties who enjoy comparative exemption from the extravagance and rascality of ir responsible aud unworthy officials, are made acquainted with the trying evils which afflict their brethren and friends in less fortunate localities, they will not withhold their hand in the hour of dire distress. Give yonr aid to those who are helpless without you. The amendments can furnish the only redress. Will you not vote for them ? - BABCOCK. This notorious character,and a New York lawyer by the name of Somer villc, were on trial for the safe bur glary conspiracy at Washington. On last Saturday they were acquitted, as everybody expected who had any knowledge of the complexion of the, jury. No one doubts as to Uabcoek's complicity, but it was a foregone conclusion that the jury empanelled would never convict him and his co conspirator. The two main witnesses, Whiteley, late chief of the govern ment secret service, and Nettleship, his assistant, were members of the band, and could not testify without branding their own names with eter nal infamy. They, however, testified against Babcock and others But it had no effect upon the ' jury ,; and the base fellows escaped the punishment they richly deserved. According to the Baltimore Sun: "The theory of their evidence was that Babcock had instigated them to taking steps to rind out who it was that was sret- t'mg upland elaborating in the newspapers iuc tunica iiumsi mm i max measure ments as a government official in 1 tie Street in Washington, aim that they, with Har rington, the District Attorney, as chief manager, carried out the plan of the safe burglary ostensibly for the purpose of get ling or. the books of one of the alleged prominent contractors, Evans, and that with the view of making it appear that Mr. Columbus Alexander, one of the chief prosecutors of the'investigation of the Dis trict ring, bad inspired the affair in the pur suit of testimony." Of course Babcock's peculiar friends were jubilant over the verdict and "congratulated" the escaped cul prit. The jury had but one reputable man on it. The criminal is acquitted according to the finding of the jury, but the country will understand that he is none tha less morally guilty of a most infamous act. Babcock es caped at St. Louis when upon trial for the whiskey conspiracy, but from Maine to Florida every candid man holds hirh none the less guilty. The plan now among the Grant officials is let no guilty man be condemned. XUSN AMD NOW. In 1876, in this Centennial year of peace, Senator Newton Booth, of California, has become a wringer of Morton's old bloody shirt and an apostle of hate. He is now canvass ing Indiana for the Grant-Hayes ticket, and is doing whatever his clever eloquence cati to widen, the "bloody chasm" that was rapidly filling up, and to awaken the bitter memories of the war that had almost fallen asleep. But it was not always so with the California Senator. On July; 20, 1875, in the city of San Francisco, he sang a different tune. He was then the eloquent advocate of fraternity and reconciliation. Here are some of his utterances then: "The wound heals slowly that is often chafed. That would be a divine moment in our history which should strike down every party tie and party name which per petuates a war memory and brings the peo ple together who are willing to forget, in a solid and impenetrable phalanx. The American people was the real hero of the war,' and must also be.tbe apostle of peace and reunion. Why should they not come together ? Sumner would remove the. names of battles from flags, because they were remembrances of civil war why caik we not take the names from our political banners, which are also reminders The Vice President journeys through the South everywhere, received by all classes with the respect and kindness due to bis age, cha racter and "position. Fitzhugh Lee goes to Boston, add is met with the fervor of hos pitality by the men be met in arms. It may be well to sneer at this as sentimental gush. I prefer to believe if the spontaneous out pouring of reconciled friendship of that spirit which is as sincere in the fellowship of peace as in (the struggle of war. It is the spirit which animates- this people and manifests itself upon every occasion. There comes a time when tfre iasfinctof senti ment is a truer guide than Cold philosophy or calculating prudence. Is this a tune to hunt up every act of lawlessness and !0MM rage that has occurred for years in States KB whose civil, social and political institutions have been broken down, and frame them :.4!lun ooninof I lin Twnnln Ts , L.2 - " 9t. --X. .hnnU f pater- I 41 peace, in the memory .of fratricidal mis an uoui wucu k auuuiu ""v. . - wmttr a w fi jf m , Theso jare ifbble . jittrancjes. 1 hey i,i . i mue .mm n. m-- no doubt caiie from his heart then. What has soured him?

A WORD FOR l AKPUT-BAGGEKS. These "gentry" have found one defender at last for which they should be duly tbankfuL Grant's organ, the Washington Repuhlicnt thus " piped" for them : L?t it not be forgotten that there would have been no Republican party in the South but for the carpet-baggers ; that they stood up for the Government and the freed man when nobedy else would," andr that the native white papulation refused to partici pate in any measure of reconstruction." Where was Holden, Brownlow, Tom Settle and the rest ? How un grateful in the negroes to turn out their best friends and give their votes for "the native whites" who refused to stand by them. It was a sad day for the South when it fell into the hands of tho lauded "carpet-baggers." But for them the bribery and thieving of 1868 would never have brought ruin upou North Carolina. Remember the $16,000,000 of Special Tax Bonds, j Ii!!t CJ EiN'S SO II fH KIS N POLICY. Tens of thousands of intelligent Southern men have always held that the death of Abraham Liucoln was a terrible blow to the South. Whilst they abhorred the cruel murder, they sorrowed because they felt that the best friend they had in the Republi can parly of the North had been foully assassinated. We have held this view for eleven years, aud we are glad to read the following from the pen of Charles A. Dana, who wss Assistant Secretary of War during Lincoln's Administration, and had ex traordinary opportunities tor forming a correct opinion of Mr, Liucoln's Southern policy. Iu tho New Y'ork Sun ot Oct. 2d, he says: "Mr. Lincoln, if he bad lived, would have stood between the conquered South and the political enemies who never began to fight until after the peace. He longed above all things to see every Southern State restored to the Union intact, and vitbiis iochI pji-i'i jninttit j-tcuit'lv lodged W the hands ot" its own people. It is eertaiuly true that the terms of surrender originally proposed: between Sherman and Johnson embodied the spirit nay, almost the letter of the Fresident's instructions to oner- man. If thev had been accepted at Wash ington, after the deatn of thereat statesman from whose mind they sprang, these teu mortal years of spoliation, military gov ernment, and carpet-bag enormities, might have been spared to the South and to the country. Mr. Lincoln, even if he had lacked human sympathy with the pillaged people of the subdued States, was too wise a man to have e xpected one-half of the country to prosper, while the other half lay prostrate." sTAKDt'ST. St. Luke's (Episcopal) Church, Suffolk, received a donation of $25 from John Kobinson a circus last week. A remarkable flight of swans, a flock fully a mile and a half long, and numbering not less than ten thousand, was seen to pass over La Salle, along the Illinois river valley, recently. A minister asked a boy what o'clock it was. '.'About twelve, sir," was the reply. "Well," qnoth ihe minister, "I thought it bad been more." "It's never any more here," said the boy ; "it just be gins at one again." Mr. A. O. Morgan, who Was ap pointed receiver of the Arkansas Hot Springs property by the Court of Claims, has just reported to tho Court that the re ceipts for rent during the present year will amount to something like $100,000. This' money will be covered into the treasury. The citizens of Washington have shown substantial interest in the cere monies connected with the unveiling of the statue of General McPhei son. During. this month invitations have been 'sent to all of General Mcpherson's class-mates, "inclu ding those who served in the. Confederate army, among them General J. B. Hood. PERSONAL. Rev. Dr. Morrell, a Congrega tionalist from New York, has joiried the Baptist church at Petersburg, Va. Mr. James Spencer, aged eighty years, was killed by a railroad train Bear Lynchburg a few days ago. It is not true, as reported, that Mr. Tennyson has refused permission to Mr. Longfellow to use some of his poems in a volume to be called "Poems of Places." The Rev. James H. Martin, of Atlanta, Ga., has written a poem three thousand lines long, about our national history. It takes an hour to read the in dex. Thomas G. Bacon, of South Carolina, died on Monday last. He was well known as a great admirer and fancier of fast horses, and was one of the oldest race horse men in the United States.; Willie Thomas, about fourteen pars old, son of Rev. William D. Thomas, . D., of Norfolk, recently saved the fife of Mr. Horner- by jumping into Collier's creek, in Rockbridge county, when it was greatly swollen from heavy rains, and bringing the drowning man safely to land. The Bedford Star says: The Rev. W. E. Judkins, Methodist minister of Lynchburg, in a sermon preached at Liberty last Sunday, denounced that moral basis of salvation advocated' by the late Speake. Kerr and the late Henry A. Wise, on their death beds, and called upon God to emphasise hts utterances in this behalf, nd prayed, Him to save his country from such infidelity. The only basis of salva tion, he forcibly affirmed, was through the merits and mediation of Christ. YELLOW FEVER.

The Mws oi October 3d says : The mortuary report, published elsewhere, for the twenty-four hoars ending at six o clock yesterday shows a large increase of mortality over the previous day. There was a total of 42 interments, of which 28 were from yellow fever. The sudden and severe change in the temperature from the heat of midsummer to the trost point, which took place Sunday night and continued throughout yesterday, seems to have had a fatal effect upon the number of those who wero very sick with the fever. The general im pression amongst the physicianir is that the present cold snap is favora ble to an abatement of the disease and a mitigation of its spread. We cannot tell what the morrow will bring forth, and cau only hope that the opinion of our medical men may be verified.

Walker of Virginia, has just returned from a canvass of sev eral weeks in Indiana and Ohio. Wo quote from the Richmond! Dispatch: Governor Walker is certain we will carry Indiana ; he is almost sure we will carry Ohio, and would not wonder if we were to run up a ma jority in th8 latter btate of between twenty and thirty thousand. Three fourths of the Germans are known to be with us, and thousands of oth ers who have long suffered from bus iness depression and the ills of bad government will repudiate the Radi cais and vote witn us. Ohio, too, is ablaze with excitement. No matter how big the Radical meetings, the Democrats get up bigger Ones: no matter how long the Radical pro cessions, the Democrats get up longer ones. Special Dispatches to the Cincinnati E ciuirer.l Washington, Sept. 28. Letters received by the Congres sional Campaign Committee from Gen.
