Wendell Phillip Trie II ! Hand at hotoirrnitliv-llla Opinion of Ueueral Phillips in the Ami S'avary Standard of to (lay, 8BJBS In 1804, wben Lincoln was nom'nated, we made an earnest ellort to rally a third party made the etrort, atd still eaieem it evidence ot utee patriotism, lhe re-election ol Mr. Lincoln was a grave mistake, from tho worst conse quences of which a kind Providence taved us by fiisdeatb. , Our eflort and protest In 1804 were vain. As reeled and vain now, it seems to us, would be any effort to organize a third party. And there are some reasons which render it largely, it not wholly, iStincceeearv. In 1864 the masses were pot by any means ulive to tne duty of the hour. Heady for auy step, they bad no definite Idea what step was netded. Further, they leaned with lar too much trust on Mr. Lincoln's sup posed states niambip and honesty. How the case is oitlerent. The people have been largely educated to the Nttiou's necessity acd duty, and do not even affect to put off any b8re of It on the shoulders of Grant, or fancy that he can or will lead anyb dy, or in anything. They see in him a tool, not a leader. Faulty and detective a tne Republican party Is, still it holds In Us h.mds our only chance of afe'y. It is a party without principles or leader". Us scldub men cannot lead It; and its Lneet men will not follow. But, spue of all this, it cither has within its rank, or repre sents, the loyal masses of the nation. They have chosen It lor their instrument. Success, Hit come at all, during this generation, must come through its help. Whether one-halt the legitimate results of the war shall be loat or caved depends on this Presidenlial election. Our latest criticism on the Republican party is that they, by sheer incapacity, have put the peaebment failed it was madness to coon and admit the Rebel States to their old places. Without land, without arms, with but little organization, the loyal vote lies at the mn-cy of Rebels. Go to Lowell and announce that whoever votes the Democratic ticket will be discharged from the mills, ho.v nianv will risk sutlerinj to support their principles?' The negro not only risks starvation, but walks to the ballot-box with a pistol at his breast. It in such circumstances he stands by the flag we shall henceforth maintain that the black race is superior to our own there is uo paee in Ameri can or English history which records a civil riebt maintained by the masses under such fearful conditions. Congress betrayed its trust when it subjected the nation to such peril. Tne members proved themsplves thoroughly In capable or dishonest, when they adjouraed in the presence of such a danger. Sull the heart of the nation beats in the Republican parly, and everv loyal man must hope and work lor us suc cess in this canvass. We have little confidence in Grant. The best thins about him is that he seems desirous to execute the Nation's will, lie is no traitor lise John on, neither has he any statesmanlike com prehension of the hour. We fear he belongs more to Morgan, Conkling, and Howard than to Bumner and Wade. He was drunk ru the public Bt 'eeis since the first day of January. This is a fact as patent as the sun at noonday; none but those too dishonest to be trusted with public Journals (bats passintr themselves off for owls) deny it. He is a Went-Pom t graduate with his sympathies all in the wrong direction. He has just been through a war which was God's command to one race to do Justice to another a war whose root was slavery and Who-e fruit was freedom. Yet ot tne halt-dozen catcb-wordstbattbeNatiou has extorted from his lips, not one has any relation to liberty. The mottoes he has lent to politics, or history, are such as a bull-dog might have growled forth. A nation battling lor an idea takes tor its leader a man confessedly destitute of idea3. A st ut soldier, an honest almtuistrative officer but bad the nation been made up ot Grants, there never would have been an anti-slavery enter prise,' an emancipation proclamation, any 'North or any South." France might as well have taken Muiat for her Napoleou, or England pat Roebuck in Peel's place. Our King Log is not imposed upon us; we select him oursolves. Nevertheless he is but a ehillow and short sighted critic who sees only Grant before him. Grant is only the almost invisible point of the broad, and everyday broadeulng, mass of purpose and resolve and neceshity behind htm. Though the nation Las not been lilted to the full com prehension of its own work, it builds determi nate, by instinct, as It were. It cannot com jrebend, much more accept, a principle. It p ropes half in light, bait in darkness; has found cnt FessendcL's lncanacitv. but still hugi the delusion of his honesty. Like Milton's lion, it, Has not wnoiiy emcrgea into snape, 01 ...icvi 'its hinder parts." But its purpose is clear and full over no matter how many prejudices it it will put beyond contingency the nation aud leave it nothing to blush for whea it stands In the sisterhood ot Christeudom. We must accept tu hour, not force it. Grant's election means ptoeress. We hope it means the Iron hand of a 1ut Government laid relentlessly on Rebels. We hoped to see at last a lover of liberty in tho White House, one who loved and underbtood what Lincoln only submitted to. If we cannot have that, give us at least a con stable who will remorselessly execute the laws. Ten days alter such a will is recognized at the White House, Wade Hampton, Alexander Ste phens, Forrest, Toombs, Cobb, and Seymour will slink like whipped spaniels to their ken nels. Grant's friends understand so little the epoch they live in that their most lavish false hood never claims for him anything which fits him for a leader in such an hour. Pope said: 'Feign what crime you will, and paint It e're so strong, Soma rising genius stns op to your song." But Grant's friends have not fancy and under standing of the hour enough to lift him up to its need. But let him show in the White House even the wholesome camp discipline they claim for him, and by the orst day of next April a negro will walk a hundred miles, even in Ken tucky, to find enough specimens of Ku-Klux to furifsn the museums of the curiom. All this blood and rage Is the ch id of co vardice, and will vanish qu'ckly into thin air, as it did in New Orleans when the grim and resolute Yankee laid his unfaltering band on the helm. None so thorough coward as the bully. Hence we baiV Maine and Vermont as day stars of hope, blo pray that other States may come up and bettter the instruction. The Immediate issue now, as in 1861, is Whether tlie nation shall survive. Seymour's succefs means another chance for secession. Grant's election melts the millions into one in dissoluble whole; cilling us to stamp on it what legend Mod wills. As in 1861, the nation now can be saved only as a nation of justice and liberty. To his amazement Lincoln lound him self the emancipator ot the slave. To his equal amazement Grant will find himself borne up and on to be the shield of the negro. We said, in November, 1800, "for the first time in our history the tlave has elected a President." The first day of January, 18C3, justified the assertion. It. which mat Gd grant, this November sends Grant to tho White House, we shall say the gro has elected his President" may the future jusuly us as amply. Wendell PniLUPB. ITALY. Midday AHSHNsInation. It has beet officially announced in Florence that a fever b'ow has at last been struck at the bricands, and that Guerra. one of the moat for midable of the chiefs who have so long set both a witt WjU kJ.uiy UViii.v, itus beta kulcJ, as well as another chief named Ciccone and a number ot their followers. Guerra is reported to have fallen in single oombat with an Italian officer, who himself was wounded by the bandit. In the Romsgna the state of things continues very bad. M. Krdan lately wrote that on the 24th ol August there were in the streets of Facnza assassinations, one of them right In front of the barracks. Of course, nobody had seen anything or bad the loat notion who the murderers were. In the same letter he wrote: "Yesterday, on the square of the Ministry of Public Instruction, In Florence, in broad day, a lad of twenty walked up to another lad of seven teen and drove a knife right into his heart. The victim fell a cor p-o. The passers-by seized toe assassin, and as tbey were handling him rather roughly, 'lie vvglio esser risptttatoP ho indig nantly exclaimed, JVow ho rubato io!" (I will be respected; I am' not a thief.) One of the last crimfs committed hereabouts had a peculiar character. Two young men bad bad a qnarrel, but had made It up again. A week later they met in the market-place. One of them passed bis arms affectionately round the reek ol tbe other, and pinched his chin playfully with one haud, while with the otber be stabbed Mm and killed him on the spot made him cold, literally to translate the Italian freddare. It is a curious thing ibt all the papers use that word in their accounts of the murder. To freddare people, which Bounds like cutthroat's slang, is here a received word, found in literature. Gibbon somewhere says that the nature of a people may be judged by studying the moral composition of its words la common use. It would be easy to compile a small dictionary of the words current in Italian journalism which imply immaturity of the moral sense." A correspondent says:' M. Erdan Is a keen observer, and few men know lUly better, or have a juner appreciation of the character of its people." FORREST. Uo Denies any Knowledge of the Ku Jilux lilan, Msmphis, Tenn., Sept. 10. Mr. P. M Henkel, Warsaw, Indiana Dear Hir: Yours of the 5ih instant is before me, asking if a letter written to the Cincinnati Commercial, purporting to be the conversation held with me by the corres pondent of that paper, is correct. 1 was m is le ores en ted by that corresoondent in nearly everything he wrote. I had' only a street con versation with him at most not more than live minutes. He has in his letter adopted ques tions and answers to suit the paper or himself, without- my cousent, or wholly or entirely foreign to my political views. I will allow no man to go further to sustain law and order than myself. As to Ku-Klux Ulan, I know nothing about them, and have never stated to any per son that I did know. I will send the correc tions the correspondent has male since his letter was written. He misrepresented me for political effect, and nothing else. He has written another letter from, this place, pnr- Eorting to he written from Fort Pillow. He as never been at Fort Pillow, and I have not been there since 1867, when I visited the place to make a map for my book. I am willing to make any sacrifice, save my honor, to relieve my State and its oppressed citizens from the radical rule that is destroying their prosperity and happiness. If your people only knew one-half the oppression we have to endure, I am confident they would come to our relief by voting for Seymour and Blair, and giving us peace and liberty, Our radical Legis lature and officials, and negro magistrates, are weighing us down with heavy taxes, and so squandering and misapplying, as well a . stealing our substance, that we shall not be able to stand it much longer. Patience has been long since exhausted: but. in the fullness of the hone for a lasting and prosperous peace, and a returu of our Northern friends to reason and a due appre ciation of nnr common interest, wa huso endured, and fetill endure, even alter patience has been exhausted. Yoara, respectfully, JN. IS. I'OBREST. Forrest's Itntcliery Renfflnued. A Decatur (Ala.) correspondent of theN. Y. Tribune say, on tho 10 instj: In reading tbe extracts printed in reference to General Forrest's butchery at Fort Pillow, I could not help observing the wide contrast be tween the account given for publication in the radical papers of the North, aud the very short uccoum ui ii l uuu iii luy uraij, pivt-u uy ireu. Forrest in my presence, while he was on bis wiy to tpeak at a Democratic mass meeting. The General, no doubt, supposed all to be his lriends, and, with the exception of myself, probably all were. I supposed at tbe time, and do vet, that the story told then was about as near the truth as the General would ever be able to tell it, so I immediately made note of it. I did not at the time intend it for publication, bat now deem it wrong to withhold it lrom tbe public. As 1 approached tbe crowd tbe uenerai was SDcakins of the animosltv existing between his men and certain Tennessee troops,-and the way tbey treated each other when prisoners. "But,'' said he, "we were not bothered with them alter the capture of Fort Pillow. We about finished tbf m there." Here the General paused and appeared to look Bad; then raisinghis bead said. "The boys curse me jet about that." One ot the party then asked bow it was about that anair. inn uenerai origntening up, quicKiy replied, I just thought, God d d you, you've bad one cuance to surrender, now oy u a you can nut uo with what you get. and they got about what they deserved." A general laugh now followed, but at this time I turned away in disgust, hoping it would never again be my lot to bear such a heartless remark so neartiiy applauded. BUTLER. Opposition to Ills It-Election. The following call for a Convention to meet in Salem, Mass., is being circulated in the various towns of the Massachusetts Fifth Congressional District, now represented by General B. F. But ler, and it is said, has alieady received many signatures: To tbe Electors of the Fifth Congressional District of Massachusetts: The election ot u member of Congress from this district is near at hand. The present incumbent, General Benja min F. Butler, has formally aunounced himself a candidate (or re-election. He asks your votes, "if the people ot tbe district think he has faitu fully and earnestly served them" making his own record his only platform. He does not allude to tbe action of a District Convention, and it is generally understood that he will baa candidate, whether regularly nominated or not. He thus appeals to you tor an endorsement of bis whole course in Cougress. Every one who votes for him in eflect sanctions his course, and encourages blra to pursue it. Tbe under signed, true to the principles of the Eepubliean party, and heartily Supporting the candidates nominated at Chicago and Worcester, cannot consiitently support or vote lor General Butler, and with them opposition to his election is fealty to the principles and tbe candidates of tbe Republican party. We take his reeord as be has made it, aud are not to be ioflueuced by profession made on the eve of the election. We do not auree with him in bis fiaancial schemes, aud so far from regarding them as important, we deem them fatal to the national credit and tbe national honor. His well-known opposition to General Grant upon personal grounds rsnders him unfit to be a hearty supporter ot his adinin-i-tratlon, and we prefer to send fo tho next Conrrees a warm, unquestioned friend of Gene ral Grant raiber than a bitter and persistent entmy. Here follows the appointment of the Conven tion and tbe lace aud time ot aeeinbling. Farms In Arkansas sell at from three to five cents an acre.

II Warmly Maintains the Illesralltjr of Congressional Reconstruction. The New York Sun has the following report of a carious and important conversation: A well-known aenlleman of ibis city was con vening with General F. P. Blair, Jr., not long since, upon the power of Congress to reconstruct tbe South. General Blair warmly maintained that the Reconstruction laws were unconstitu tional, and that there was no authority in tbe National Government to endow negroes with the elective franchise in the conquered States. "You are mistaken," said his friend; "tbe Supreme Court has fully dccldec the question in favor of the power exercised by Congress." "How so?" asked the General. "I never heard of any such decision." "I will give you the poiots," was the answer. "11. The Supreme Court has decided that tbe National Government has tbe same rights and powers as regards the Stages lately in Rebellion, as it would have toward Stales or Territories conquered In war with a foreign power. "11. The Supreme Court decided years aso that in New Mexico, which we bad just then conquered In the war with Mexico, tbe orders of General Kearney, the Military Governor of that Territory, bad all tne force ol law and must be obeyed as sue h. "III. Among the:e orders of Oenerl Kearney, in New Mexico, was a code of laws which he promulgated tome time about 1847, by which, the right of suffrage was conferred upon all males of lawful age, without dmincti in of color, nigroea Included. "IV. This code, which was thus imposed on New Mexico, by the military power, the Supreme Court decided to be the rightiul la of the Ter ritory, until it should be set aside by express act of Congress. ' V. The apparent author of this negro suf rage code was Francis P. bUir, Jr., whoe name was attached to it as Attoruey-Ueneral of the Terri oaj." "That's true," responded General B'a'r, ubut I didn't supposed auy d d black Repuolluan knew it." THE FASHION'S. From Le Follet. Alports of gay colors are continually worn, and tbe contrast of the various shades gives our toilets an almost Oriental appearance. I have seen material with pale told and purple stripes, lor instance, which looked exceedingly pretty. The tunic was looped back en pn pr-i, out uulcolorcd, while the lint ot Iialiau straw bad small clusters of of cherries, scattered in a most original manner, for ornament. Almost evtry tunic assumes now-a days the form of a square or rounded aprou in front and ot panlers behind more or less looped up. For lull dress toilets next winter this description of cos tumes will be worn altogether. Tbe style for winter hats is also torecasting its shadow already. As might have been expected, thay will have high crowns, xbe principal orna ments will be puffs, feather.', and aigrets This style of bead dress will be admirably adapted for tbe costumes ol the Louis XV aud Louis XVI age, which are so far from going oat ot fa-hion as to become still more complete, and powder aud beauty-spots are seriously spoken of. In tbe meantime, the fashion of head-dresses is mixed neither high nor low. Flat chignons on tbe head, small hats with Hat caps, narrow faochounettes with flower pulls, are all the rage. To return to costumes. I have seen a very pretty one on the beach of Trouville. A round skirt of silver gray Mexican silk hid a high flounce and a fold of scarabee taffeta for ornament; an apron of the same material was bordered with a small flounce and a fold ol sca rabee taffeta at the top. What was visible at the tbe back part of the skirt looked very original on accouut of a knot of a scarabee sash being fastened to it, while the sleeves ot tuo dress were half tight-fitting and ended in a puffing of the same material as the arets. xne toqu'jt of very tine silver grey straw was bordered wilh scarabee satin. The somewhat high cap had a lustre of ecrabee feathers for ornament which fell gracefully down ou oue side over the ring lets of tbe chignon, which had been put very high on the back part of tue head. AnotLer not less original costume was made ot green g laced silk, the lower, skirt had piping of flounces placed below at certain distances irorn euch other, while tho upper skirt looped back in three panlers repeated the same trimming on a smaller scale. Tbe waUt was cut square in front, aud completed by a Marie Antoinette mantalet, knotted on the cheat by a Paoillon knot, and ialiing down over the sides so as to become fast ened behind at the top of the skirt a lew centi metres lower than tbe waist. This mantelet is bordered by pipings at certain distances, and, moreover, ornamented with micro-copic knots, visible on tne intervals left by tho pipings. A splendid dinner costume has just beeu finished tor tbe Marquise of V. It is a vapory skirt of white gauze held up en paniera in a very original manner, over a turkois blue transparent by a large tuikois blue sash. Tbe waist is cut low and square, and has very rich wide lace, fast ened by turkois clasps ad around the shoulders. I am at a loss what to say of linen wear, Bon nets always keep the fauchon or the Catalan style, ana on ly vary in tne styie ot corners. The most becoming is a Catalan bonnet of em broidered muslin. A ribbon, corresponding iu shade to the toilet, forms a square which indi cates the top of the head, and tal'.s down under the cbignon which it halt covers. Small knots of embroidered rrftiolin and of ribbon form the front of the bonnet, while two long ribbons float behind. Another pattern is thegulpur fanchon. Tho iront of tbe bonnet is looped bajk over the top of tho head in two points bordered by a narrow ribbon. A flounce of guipure terves as, ornament for the back part, and extends in fl ips fastened under the chiu by ncn guipure lace covering a Knot oi riDiiou. v ORR. Tue Ex-Governor Hauls the Democracy over tlie Coal. From the 81. Paul Minn.) Prest Sept. 19. Governor Orr, of South Carolina, who Is now in this city, has been giving some ol tbe leading Democrats here a piece of bis mind qathe bung ling way the Democracy -have been managing mutters of late. To one of them, who was a deleeate to the Tammany Convention, he said that tbe nominations of Sejmour and Blair were both great mistakes. Seymour, becaue he represented impracticable a. id obsolete ideas, aud Blair on account of his revolutionary letter. Betide?, Blair was a military man, and the Democracy set oat with the idea of having a great civilian statesman, and they should bavo been consistent iu thit idea. Pendleton was equally objectionable on account of his identity with old worn-out policies. If the Demo cracy had nominated "Chase, the Governor said his name, so long Identified with tbe abolition ot slavery, would have enabled the Democracy to carry every Southern State. Now, they might possibly carry Georgia aud Aliibama the rest would all go for Grant. He furtbtr said that It was a great mistake for the Southern Democr icy to insist on being re presented io tbe Convention: that the crowd of Confederate Generals thero had a bad effect on the pubi c opinion of the North, and a bad influence on tbe Convention. Wade Hampton, for instHnce, whom he spoke of in high terms, bad C'ime home, and publicly stated that he had procured the ineriiou in the platform ol the declaration that "tho Reconstruction acts were usurpations, unconstitutional, revolutionary, and void," and so lhe Confederate element in the Convention openly arrayed itself aaalnst Northern sentiment, aud reopened all tbe old issnes. Much fensiolo tttlt of tbe same kind the wise and patriotio old Governor aldrosed to his hard-headed friecd, but with as little practical effect, we fear, as his sagacious counsels to bis headstrong brethren in South Carolina. We learn tnat Governor Orr has just been ap pointed a circuit jude-e In South Carolina, but that he has determined to take up u!s residence In 81. Joseph, Mo., In order to resume the prac tice of bis profession under more lavorable auspices than tbe disturbed condition of affairs in fcoulh Carolina admits of. GE0RG1A An Address to the Colored Voters. Thi following is being extensively circulated in Georgia: , COLORED VOTERS, READ THISt First. Who turned colored members out of tbe Legislature? 1. Democrats are telling It in many places that the Republicans turned them out. It is not so. The falsehood of their statements Is plain from tbe following tacts: . (1.) Hepoblicans made the colored people free. Mr. Lincoln was a Republican. When he was President, he issued too first proclamation of fieedom. General Grant is a Republican. He conquered the Rebel, and gave effect to the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln. (2.) A Republican Congress passed the laws caning a Convention and giving the right to the colored people to vote. Other acts of Congress made them citizens and gave them civil rights. (3.) Tbe Convention which male the Consti tution wi composed mostly of Republican, and colored persons were allowed to hold seats in that Convention and assist in making the Constitution. (4.) Tbe Constitution thus framed does give colored people the right to hold office. It was made so on purpose by the Republicans who made it. During the canvass tor its ratification Democrats said it did give colored people the tiuht to hold office. For this reason they spoke nd voted against it. 2. Democrats turned the colored members out of the Legislature. (1.) A Democrat from Randolph county, who was elected chiefly by colored voter, offered the first resolution to turn them out. Tbe recolu tion on which they were turned out waa offered by a Democrat of Houston county, who was elected by colored vo'er. (2.) Tbeieweie81 members of the House of Representatives who voted to turn out the colored members. They were all Democrats except four. The Democrats arc trying to Impose upon tho igtorant colored people by telhug them that tbe Republicans turned the colored members out of the Legislature. The resolutions in both Houses were ottered by Democrats. Not one Democrat voted in favor of retaining tbe colored members in their seats. Yet, the De mocrats say there was a majority of Republicans in tbe Legislature. Tnat Is true as to the Senate, but not as to the House. Refusing to let the colored members vote, and a few Repub licans voting with tbe Democrats, they got a lartre malority in both Houses. This shows thai tho Demociats are determined that colored mon shall not hold oilico if they can prevent them. Thud. For what reason did the Democrats turn them out? 1. Not because they had commute! any crime. 2. Not because the Constitution forbade their holding office; but 'I. Because they were free persons of co!or. Democrats pre against colored persons enjoying their rights because of the color of their skinl Fourth. What is the remedy? Elect General Grant, and all will be well. If he is elected, tbe colored men excluded will be restored to their seat. It feejmour is elected tbey will not be restored, but tbe Democrats will go on in their revolutionary measures until they have stripped colored people of all their constitutional rights, and reduced them to a condition as bad, if not worse, than slavery. Colored voters, to the rescue! You owe It to yourselves, to your wives, to your children, to jour whole race and your country, to rally to a man around the standard of Grant and Colfax, and to vote for no candidate for any office but the regular nominees ot the Repnblican party. COZiOI6A.Z0. The Repnblican Ticket Still Ahead. Tbe Rocky Mountain Jfewa of September 17, which is later by three days than the advices recently paraded in the Democratic journals ot the East, has a table of the recent vote for Delegate to Congress iu Colorado, which foots up as iollows: Bradford's (Rep.) maloritles . . . 6G3 Beiden's (Dcm.) majorities ... 580 Bradford's net majority ... 83 Tbe New York Tribune of this morning says, editorially: "We reproduce elsewhere the latest returns from Colorado. One prcclnrt (Lake) is missing. Allowing the Rebel candidate for Delegate 240 majority in Huerfauo county, which outnumbers the legal voters of the whole county, Bradford (Rep.) has carried the Territory with a surplus ot 82 votes. The Rebels are at their tricks, and are endeavoring to throw out two Bradford pre cincts under the plea that a survey ot the Terri tory, made since tbe election was ordered, plHces them la New Mexico. It is not certain that this move could cheat Bradford of hU elec tion, and if this fails possibly some other scheme may be tried L" LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
