TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1868.
Is General G.anta Radical or a Con
servative? A KBGKffT Wtebvibw between General Batler
and a newspaper reporter closed with the follow
ing interrogatory and answer:
Reporter Well, General, I should like to
ask you one more question. Trie conservative
Kepublioans, as they call tnemselves, who last
?'ear voted asalnst the Republican tloket In
his SUte and elsewhere, are now golug for
Orant, and declare their conviction that If
eleoted he will eschew radicalism and make big
administration atrictly conservative. What is
your opinion of this?
"General Butler (after long and profound
fleotlon) Well, upon that subject, sir, I have
no Information."
The subject here referred to is one about
whioh no person is authorized to pronounce
an authoritative opinion. The habitual reti
cence of General Grant forbids the idea that
he has promised either "rai'cals" or "conser
vatives" that he will blindly follow in their
footsteps, and he is too sagacious and inde
pendent a man to commit himself to any fac
tion or wing of the great party whioh he is
leading on to victory. All that was Important
and essential he told the whole people. lie
aooepted the Repnblioan nomination. He in
dorsed the resolution of the Chicago Conven
tion. And at the same time he declared that
he would remain untrammelled in regard to
future issues, so that he could aot freely
and wisely as they arose, and carry out as
fully as possible the wishes of the American
people. lie does 'not aim to enforce an
obnoxious polioy of any kind upon
an unwilling constituency. The nation
has suffered too much from Buchanan's
attempt to en'orce his Leoompton policy,
and from Johnson's efforts to secure the tri
umph of his reconstruction policy, to desire
that any future President should prostitute
the powers of the first office of the Government
to the unholy purpose of defeating the wishe3
of a majority of American citizens. At the
same time, General Grant is a Republican, and
it will be to him a pleasure, as well as a duty,
to secure the triumph of Republican princi.
pies as they are popularly understood by the
mass of his supporters. In the present aspect
of Amerioan politics there is no cause for divi.
sion among members of the Republican party,
and it is idle, if not impossible, to attempt to
classify them as "conservatives" or "radi
cals." The developments at the Tammany
Hall Convention and subsequent to the nomi
nation of Seymour and Blair have been suffi
cient to satisfy every patriot that the triumph
of the Demooratio ticket in the oomtag Presi
dential eleotion would exalt and enthrone
the Rebellion as effeotually as if the Rebel
armies had captured Washington daring the
war, and diotated the terms of peaoe to a de
feated North from the portals of the White
House. Under such oircumstanoes loyal men
rally around a loyal standard with as muoh
enthusiasm and unanimity as they evinoed
during the dark days when the forces of the
enemy were striving to destroy the National
Government with bullets, instead of the Demo
oratio ballots whioh are their present weapons.
And when these machinations are thwarted, as
they doubtless will be, by the election of Gran1
And Colfax, there will remain no serious differ
ence among Republicans. It will be the duty
of the new President to enforce all the laws of
he United States in all portions ot the Union.
Radioala can ask for nothing more, conserva
tives will be content with nothing less, and
General Grant will discharge this duty with
unswerving fidelity. The whole subjeot is dis-
foeed of in the single sentence: "Lot 08 havb
hacb" a peaoe based on the terms of adjust
ment dictated by the Republican party a
peaoe that will protect every honest oitlzen,
and thwart forever the efforts of battled con
spirators to foment a new Rebellion.
Oar Municipal Affairs and the Manner
In Which They Are Conducted.
The City Counoils, after a summer reoess, re
assembled last Thursday, and will now prooeed
to the disposal of the usual course of business.
How much of the comfort, health, and pros
. parity of the city depend upon their aotion3
can be but slightly appreciated by those who
do not fully understand their working. By
the liberal act of incorporation under whioh
our municipality was created, there are few
1 imits imposed upon the power of this repre
sentative body. Probably no oity in the world
has more liberal powers granted to it. In all
matters of local interest, appropriations, bills,
ordinances, opening of streets, and all similar
movements, they have control. The last year
has proved that, as a rule, the oonduot of the
Counoilmen has been such as to prove that the
power vested in them will be used with dis
cretion and with a due regard to the wants of
the oity. Under the reoent administration the
taxes of the city were reduoed. Last year it
was four dollars, while under the more eco
nomical administration of the present Coun
oils the taxes have been reduoed to one dollar
and forty oents. A more equitable system of
assessment has been made. No longer are
fancy prices put upon real estate, and the
amount of valuation loft entirely to the opinion
of a oorrupt assessor, or of a ohanoe whim.
There has been, beyond all question, a marked
' improvement in the oity government. Eco
nomy is more prevalent, llly-dlgested legisla
tion is more rare, and we oan congratulate the
people that their representatives have more
generally beoome oognlzant of the responsi
bility of their position. We have faith that,
dating the coming winter, there will be a yet
more marked improvement, and the great
cause for oomplaint in lbti7 will not be seen
is. 18C9.
Camilla.
"At last reports Camilla was .quiet V Suph
are the closing words of the unreoonstruoted
despatch from Augusta, Ga., which' details the
partionlari of a fearful riot alleged to have
taken ' place at Camilla, the oounty seat ,ot
Mitchell connty. . Three hundred negroes,
beaded by two oarpet-baggers, plentifully sup
plied with war material, and provided with
three weeks' rations, marohed down upon the
town of Camilla, with the serious intention of
"overawing the citizens and killing the lead'
ing Democrats." Despite the remonstrances
of "a deputation of three prominent citizens,"
thrice repeated, the mob entered the town,
four hundred strong, and began to olamor for
the blood of "a man namtd Johns." Johns
was shot at, and so was every man that oould
be seen, when the white and black population
of Camilla, with utter extermination staring
them in the face, rallied to the number of
fifty, and forced the invaders to beat a hasty
retreat. In oonsequenoe of the panio whioh
took possession of the mob, but five whites
were injured, and none of them fatally. The
total casualties, however, reaohed one hun
dred, ninety-five of whom must have been
negroes, thirty-five having been killed outright
on the retreat.
It would seem that the Demooracy of Ca
milla sustained the prestige whioh they have
doubtless acquired on many a well-fought
field. Fifty to four hundred one to eight
was about Ot relative number of the contend
ing forces throughout the war. Vide the New
York World and Pollard's "History of the
Lost Cause." And yet this superiority in
point of numbers was too overwhelming, and
Lee at last succumbed, after Grant had lost
more men than his entire army comprised at
the outset of the campaign. Looking at the
Camilla contest from this standpoint, the
"man by the name of Johns" is a greater
soldier, and his forty-nine companions in arms
more valiant fighters, than Lee and the Army
of Virginia. For Lee surrendered, while
Johns and the forty-nine ohased the negroes
and the oarpet-baggers five miles out of town,
killing thirty-five of them and wounding evei
so many more. What a wretched failure,
then, attended this radical sally in Georgia I
How completely abortive was the attempt "to
overawe the citizens and kill the leading
Democrats" of Camilla I When Frank Blair
marshals his revolutionary host, the valiant
men of Camilla, white and black, should not
be forgotten. Nowhere in the whole South
can he piok up a more chivalrous, a more
dashing, a more destructive body-guard. And
what a captain of the gnard will be this
"man VtV 4 Via noma r f T rv V i a ft A rA wV a
ammm jj mmu? w v vuua( uva macaw a
fishy thiBg the whole story is, from beginning
to end. It is a fair sample of the Quixotic
episodes whioh are daily telegraphed North
by the unreconstructed Demoorats who are
employed by the Associated Press in the South.
We publish the truth of the matter else
where, and our readers will see from it that a
more monstrous lie has never been fabricated
by desperate men. The affair at Camilla was
one of the most diabolioal outrages whioh has
as yet been perpetrated by the Hampton
Demooraoy. It was a wanton and unprovoked
assault upon a peaoeful assemblage of unarmed
Republicans, who had met together for the
purpose of discussing the issues of the day.
Rebels armed to the teeth, among them the
Sheriff of the county, forbade the meeting,
and when it was attempted to be held in
spite of intimidation, they fell upon the
orderly citizens who were exercising the pri
vilege acoorded them by the Constitution, and
killed and wounded fifty of them in cold
blood. The details of the outrage are horrible
enough, but when it oomes to the "omnipo
tence of lying" by which the perpetrators
have attempted to shroud their bloody deeds,
we oan appreciate the full foroe of the situa
tion in the South, and the desperate measures
to whioh the Demooraoy of that seotion are
resorting to uphold the fortunes of Seymour
and Blair. There is but one remedy for it all,
and that is for the people of the North to rise
in their might and forever extinguish the
slumbering fires of rebellion.
Pointless Ridicdlb. A few days since a
great throng of the unreoonstruoted Demo
crats of Mobile attended a freedmen's meet
ing in "anticipation of fun." So says the
Tribune of that city, and forthwith proceeds
to edify suoh of its readers as were so unfor
tunate as to miss the entertainment, by hold
ing up to ridioule a simple-hearted negro who
deolared that "God would feed the blaok
people discharged by their employers for
voting the Republican tioket." Oar Demo
cratiocontemporary this morning assures us
that "all the godless infidels and religious per
secutors are leagued together" against the
saintly Seymour. Yet such earnest, steadfast
faith as was displayed by the Mobile freed
man is not regarded as an element of strength
by the Southern Demooraoy. Henoe, when
they resort to the treaoherous device of Wade
Hampton, condemned by ne Demooratio jour
nal in the North, they can well afford to laugh
to soorn the illiterate black who believes in
the mercy and goodness of his Creator, and
refuses to vote for Seymour and Blair simply
because he is threatened with starvation. If
these worby De moorats had lived in the days
of King Ahab, what rare sport they would
have had over the prophet Elijah's prospeot
of a hearty meal, when he started for the wil
derness, relying implicitly on the promise of
the Lord, "I have oommanded the ravens
to feed thee." By Buoh faith the world
has been turned upside down more than
onoe, and the day of suoh mlraoles is not yet
past, as Wade Hampton and his Demoeratio
train will in good time discover.
Day dt day the repofta whioh come to us
are more and more encouraging as to the fu
ture of the campaign. The Republicans of our
entire State are earnestly alive to the duties of
the oooaslon and to the necessity of aotlve ex-
, feitlou in the prosecution of the oampaiga. Not
only is the whole country alive with public
meetings, but quiet, active work is being done,
and both by voioe and personal influence the
good cause is prospering by the aid of all its
friends. j
The Financier-Seymour.
Mb. Horatio Sbtmoob glories in the faot that
he never held a dollar's worth of United States
bonds during the entire war. What a
wretohed pass has the Demooraoy oome to
that suoh an . assertion as this is reoelved as
the qualification of its holder to the office of
President I The flnanoes of the nation are the
most diffioult of all the questions to be settled
in the future. They afoot every man, woman(
and child on this continent. Yet the man
who is to have the chief post in their man
agement has no personal Interest in them.
He never had a oent's worth of them, and
will aot as though he were a foreigner. Why,
any Englishman or Irishman would have as
much at stake in the settlement of this great
question as would Horatio Seymour. Yet he
is to be the finanoier, and lays claim to office
because of financial ability. Better have a
Rothsohild, with no sympathy, but a shrewd
head, than this non-holder, non-favorer our
national loans.
Tbb RiNDBErKBT has assumed a strange
feature in Richmond. The Dispatch of that
city, a thorough-going and orthodox Demo
cratic sheet, is alarmed that "suoh cattle" as
"Hale, Clay, Dix, and other radioals now
representing the country abroad," should
declare against Seymour, Blair, Hampton, and
Forrest. But it oonsoles itself with the mel
ancholy assurance that "all suoh cattle" will
be called home in case Seymour is made
President. In this event it becomes a matter
of serious consideration to the Amerioan peo
ple as to who shall suooeed them. Will the
diplomatic yoke be placed upon the neoks of
suoh gentle lambs as Hampton and Forrest f
Will "the stern statesman" now sojourning
in England, where the climate appears to be
more oonduoive to his health than did the
moist air of Fortress Monroe and the Georgia
swamps, be entrusted with the duty of repre
senting the nation at the Court of St. James f
Will Mason and Slidell again start on their
travels from capital to capital, attired no
lOBger in Confederate livery, but in the plain
cut coat and unassuming breeches prescribed
by act of Congress f Or will the commission
of the roving "Minister to Mexioo" be en.
larged so as to embrace all Christendom, and
the polished periods of Bancroft and the
stately sarcasm of Reverdy Johnson be sup
planted by J he inooherent ramblings of
White Sulphur Springs epistles ? These ques
tions present a very nioe point, upon whioh we
do not feel inolined to dilate at present.
Moreover, they oontemplate a contingency
quite beyond the range of probability the
defeat of Grant and the eleotion of Seymour.
A Substantial Stbaw. The Vineland
Democrat, a journal published in Vineland,
N. J., and heretofore an earnest supporter of
Seymour and Blair, has renounoed the Hampton-Demooracy
and raised the names of Grant
and Colfax. For so doing the editor gives the
following cogent reasons:
"First. Because we bad a mind to do It.
"Second. Because the party that was Demo
cratic, that promised to Ugbten the taxet, that
promlbed to give tbe country a low lax candi
date, allowed an Ignoble clique of traitors and
bloated capitalists to foroe tuelr disloyal tools
npon tbe paity.
"Third. Because If the Demoeratio tloket Is
elected, the Demoeratio parly Is defeated.
"Fourth. Because Grant and Colfax better fill
tbe bill.
"Fifth. Because there is Rebel element enough
in tbe Demooratio parly to control the parly,,
and we desire to bave liberty In tbe South at'
least long enough to give Northern fathers and
mothers lime to remove their dead sons where
they can lie unlnsulted by Demooratio bone
trlnkot manufacturers.
"tiixtb. We felt unwilling to furnish a free
literature to a party that could not read."
To the Point. The New York Tribune has
the following pithy editorial observations:
"Mr. William A. Wallace Is Chairman of the
Pennsylvania Demooratio State Committee and
not 'Mark Tapley,' as we the other day Inad
vertently stated. This gentleman has Issued a
manifesto proving that there has been a great
Demoeratio victory In Maine, but admitting
that the State will probably vote for Grant
And here Mr. Wallace, leaving coffee-making
for a while, comes In with bis trenohant and
Invincible logio as follows: 'Maine voted. for
John O. Fremont, yet James Baobanan was
eleoted President, and Pennsylvania led the
column,' etc. etc, that made J. B. the President
Therefore, argues Bunsby Wallace, as Maine
will vote for Orant, so Pennsylvania mast cer
tainly vote for Seymour I Therefore, we sup
pose, if Maine should vote for Seymour, then
Pennsylvania will certainly vote for Grant.
Now, It is clearly evident that if the Democrats
go on gaining in Maine from now until the
next election, in the ratio claimed by them In
tbe last election, Maine must inevitably vote
for Seymour. Ergo, Pennsylvania will vote for
Grant. Q. E. D. Stick to your oofTee pots, Mr.
Wallace !"
Education in France. Tbe Minister of
Publlo Instruction in Franoe has published the
"Statistics of Adult Classes for the year 1807-3."
During the past winter 27.902 adult olasses for
men were opened In 26,103 communes, and
4129 classes lor women in iOU communes; and
the number of persons who attended them
amounted to 779.873, of whom 85,281 were
women. These figures are, however. Inferior
to those of the preceding year; for, says the
doonment in question, It there has been no
falling off in seal, and if the teachers deserve
the highest commendation, the winter was
long and rigorous, the cold rendering commu
nication difficult, especially in mountainous
parts, while to other dlffloullles was added the
clearness of provisions. In some rural com.
munes a portion of tbe population was com
pelled to emigrate. Yet, in spite of these ex
ceptional oiroumstanoes, a general desire to
attend the adult classes was evident; mar
rled men and women, in many Instances
no longer young, were often to be seen at th9
evening schools for months. Of the whole
number that attended the adult olasses, at least
one-half were In a state of complete Ignoranoe,
or bad a most imperfect knowledge of the most
elementary matters; and it appears that there
were certainly not eighteen thousand who failed
to derive any appreciable advantage from their
attendance at the classes. In Algeria eighty
two olasses were opened for men, and twenty,
two for women, during the j ear. The whole of
toete were evening classes, and open to all
without any charge whatever. Of the teachers,
eighty-seven were laymen, and only seventeen
belonging to religions societies. The total
number of persons wbo attended theaohdo's
wm twenty-five hundred and forty-eight men
and two bnndred and seventy-four women. I A
comparison is made between the state ot pri
mary edncalion at the present time and that of
thirty-five years ago, when primary schools
were organised in all the communes of Franoe.
In 1833 tbe proportion of Illiterate conscript
was 48 83 per cent.; in 1853 it was 81 39 per cent.,
a gain of H ii per cent, in twenty years, or 072
per annum. The adult classes are gradually
being completed by tbe addition or soholastlo
libraries, tbe teachers, as well as the poor scho
lars themselves, contributing the collections.
Tbe movement is so unanimous, says tbe report
in question, that it cannot be arrested, and it
may tafely be predicted that before long Franoe
will occupy a high place among tbe nations
most famous for popn lar ed uoatlon.

Public Libraries and Schools in Spain,
The "Annual ot Pnblto Instruction," pub
lished at Madrid, contains some Interesting de
tails of tbe national libraries in Spain. Tue
number of volumes contained In those esta
blishments is 1,100.695, spread over the capital
and tbe provinces; the library of Madrid alone
contains 800,000; that of tbe Central University,
800,000; of Barcelona, 130,000; and of Salamanca,
56,000. There are similar Institutions not only
on the continent, but la the Balearic and Cana
ry Isle; that of Palma and Majorca contains
86,000 volumes, and that of Mahon nearly
11,000. As to the arohives, the entire history of
the country, or Its customs and polltloal life
may.be said to be represented In them: there
are 70,278 packets of papers in the old palaoe of
Slmanoas, 85,000 at Alcala de Benares, 81,000 in
the archives of the Crown of Aragon, and 97.0J0
in tbe national Historical Beoord offlce. At Valen
cia, Corunna, and Majorca there Is an lmmenso
number of papers, manusorlpt vol a sues, ao-count-books,
and parchments preserved with
care, and which show the interest Spain has
never ceased to take in written monuments
and serious studies. The same publication
contains also some indications concerning tbe
general state of instruction in tbe Peninsula
and the adjaoent Islands. There are 27,000
Infant schools, attended, acoordlng to the last
census, by 1,500.000 children; 77 institutions for
training teachers, and five for the deaf and
dumb or blind. With respect to seoondary In
struction, there are 2 establishments of the
first class. 10 of the second, 32 of the third, and
14 local Institutions. There are 10 universities
for teaching theology, law, medicine, phar
macy, tbe sciences, literature, and philosophy.
In addition to those there are several special
sobools, of whioh 11 are for the fine arts, 1 for
music and declamation, 2 for manufactures, 1
for diplomacy, 5 for commerce, 17 for naviga
tion; also, 29 boarding-schools and 118 private
establishments. The Budget of Publlo Instruc
tion amounts to 22,428,090 reals, but the sums
raised for the same object in the provlnoes and
the communes Increase the total amount ex
pended on educational purposes to 110,000,000 of
reals.
DRAMATIC.
The "Dead Heart" at tbe Walnut.
Mr. Watts Phillips' Dead Heart is one of the
best ol the so-called sensational plays of the
day. It Is a little obscure in some places, but
on tbe whole the plot Is well worked out; tbe
situations are effective, and, without rising
above the commonplace, tbe dialogue is easy
and natural, and is not encumbered with unne
cessary verbiage. A vein of genuine poetical
feeling runs through the work, and what ap
pears constrained and unnatural In the charao
ter of "Robert Landry" Is due more to a want of
expllcltness in the text than to any real incon
sistencies. The Dead Heart bas been given so many
times in this city that the theatre-going publlo
are generally familiar with it. The part of
"Robert Landy" is well suited to the abilities
and style of acting of Mr. Edwin Adams,
and, without rising above the conven
tional, be is easy, natural, and un
affected. The strong points furnished by
tbe dramatist are made the most of by the
actor, and the interest is well sustained
throughout. The best drawn charaoter in the
piece, however, is that of the "Abbe Ltour,"
and this type of an intriguing, luxurious, and
dissolute class, who, more than any others,
were the means of bringing on all the horrors
of the French Revolution, is depleted with
much skill by tbe playwright. This part was
well acted by Mr. Walcot, who appeared to have
an Intelligent appreciation of its requirements.
The character of "Catharine Duval" was as
sumed by Miss Graham, who appeared for the
first time this season in her old position as lead"
lng lady at the Walnut. Miss Graham is still
too cold and inanimate to be considered a
thoroughly good actress, although last evening
she performed with much real power and effect
in portions of the play.
The Theatres this Evening;.
At the Arch the Kichlngs troupe will appear
this evening in Fra Diavolo. To-morrow La
Bomnambula will be given; on Thursday Orit
pino and the Fairy for tbe first time In English.
At the Walnut Mr. Edwin Adams will appear
this evening as "Robert Landry," In the drama
of the Dead Heart.
At the Chesnut tbe beautiful speotaole of the
White Fawn will only be performed a few times
more.
At the American thore will be a miscella
neous entertainment of an attractive charaoter.
At Hooley 's Opera House the burlesque of the
