Satthdai Morning, : May 20, 1871.
The Radical State Convention, which mt
at Harrisbnrg on Wednesday la8t, nominated
David Stanton, of Beaver county, for Auditor
General, and Robert B. Beatb, of Schuylkill
county, for Surveyor General. These nomi
nations were brought about by what is known
among Radical politiciana as the Cameron
Yitty, and lb therefore defeat of fieary.
W beg to ansa re tho Lancaster Intelligen
cer that it ia entirely at fault in its conjec
tore as to the authorship of the editorial in
tur last iasue relative to the approaching
Democratic State Convention, and which the
editor of that paper does us the honor to
copy and endorse. The gentleman of this
place whom the Intelligencer presumes wrote
the article, though fully onipttent to the
tai-k, never raw it until he read it in the
Freeman.
Wf traat that the Democratic State Cn
ventien, which is to meet at Ilairisbnrg on
Wednesday next, will exercise mors than
ordinary prudence; In the selection of the
Chairman of the State Central Committee.
We ol ject most decidedly to giving the ap
pointment to the two candidates to be nomi
nated by tha convention. That plan has
already bera tried once too often. He ought
to be a man who is thoroughly acqniinted
with the loading Democrats of the State and
who can tell whether a county is east or west
cf the Susquehanna river. Give us an active,
energetic man one who politically speak
ing, i a "as ibarp as a steel trap."
V Tins treaty agreed open by the Juinl High
Cutnoiission was reported lack to the Senate
oa Monday 11 without amendcict, by the
Committee on Foreign Relatiana. The press
of both parties has spoken o favorably of
its leading features that there woa'J seem to
be no doubt of its ratification by the Senate.
That It will also be endorsed by the Parlia
ment of Oreat Britain is equally certain.
With its ratification by both governments
tbe frienda cf peace iu both countries will
have abundant cause for rejoicing, for then
will disappear all questions sf ar.gry and
embittered controversy between the two na
tions. If.through a spirit of criminal fIlr and
perseverance on either side, the Alabama
claims, as well as the other questions at
issne, bad been referred to the stern arbitra
ment of the sword, the party that provoked
the dread isFue would have inenrred a fear
ful responsibility ia the judgment of the
eivi!izi:d woId.
The Uorder Claims Bill.
Several acta of the Legitlature have been
passed having in viow the adjudication of
the claims for damages sustained by citizens
f tbe counties of York, Adams, Cambcrland,
Perry, Franklin, Fulton, and Bedford, re
sulting from tbe rebel invasion of the south
eastern portion of the State. It has been
ascertained that these claims amount iu the
aggregate to about $2,800,000. The ques
tion to be determined is this : Is tbe State
liable fur the payment of the damages in the
first instance, or the amount of the claims
having been first ascertained, must not the
State, tbrcragh the Governor, demand pay
ment from tbe general government. In the
legislation heretofore cn this sstjeet, the
lability cf the State has been repudiated.
A short time ago tbe Senate passed a bill,
which, if it did not in express terms commit
the State to their payment, might justly be
regarded as a fair commencement to accom
plish that result in the future. The House
struck out this section of the Senate bill and
amended it by inserting another in which
the liability of the State was expressly de
nied, and authorizing tho Governor to press
their payment by the United States. The
Senate appointed a committee of conference,
bat the llue refusing to do so, tke VAl wci
thereby defeated. It seeans to be generally
conceded, and the action of the Legislature
confesses it, that these claims ought on every
principle of justice to be paid, and tho sole
difficulty arises as to which government, the
State or National, shall liquidate them. A
great deal might be said on both sides of
the question, but we do not now propose to
ficua ve. After the bill hod been defeated
in the House, in the manner we hate stated1,
the irrepressible Goary. who, like Wilikins
Jlicawber, is always waiting for something
to turn up to promote his Presidential aspr.
rational, came to its rescue and seat a special
meseage to tha LrgisT&tnre urging the pas

Butler In Iloston.
Benjamin F. Butler has recently famished
additional evidence, if that were at all nece--sary,
that as a- bold, reckless demagogno,
none but himself can be his parallel. Da,
epised and execrated iu Congress as a low
political trickster, he is now engaged ;n the
laudable effort of pandering to the vanity and
predjudices of hi colored all'sa in tfassacbii
setts, and attempting to prove, that for all
the weighty and responsible duties of gov
ernment, tho negroes of South Carolina are
immeasurably superior to the white race.
On the night of the 8th instant he delivered
a speech before the negroes of Boston in
tthicb he had the brazen impudence to ask
the three following questions :
I submit to the calm judgment of the
country, upon a fair and not strained com
parlsuu of the two races as they stand to
gether today in South Carolina, which ia
the fitter to govern? la whose hands life,
liberty and property are and will in the fu
ture bo more safe? In a community under
the government cf which c'a.8 would any
prudent, well-behaved considerate rnau rath
er east his lot ?"
It requires an icfiuite amount of cheek to
propound those inquiries eveu to a negro
audience. In view t f the melancholy expsri
of the Southern States under the recon. !
ence
structicn acta, and especially of South Caro
lina, where the negroes have full and in
disputed swhv. 2To other white man, except
It might be Wendell Phillips, wotild have
the hardihood to repeat Eutkr's interroga
tories. South Carolina to day; under negro ascend
ency'is the foulest cesspool of ignorance and
rascality, the most Lideous blot upon civi'i
zition and political decency, that exists on
the face of the earth." So it. tolerable are
the ersls under which that State groans and
suffers under negro n,irn!o and corruption
that only a few days ago a convention repre
senting the property cud intelligence of the
State assembled at G,!an.I.i. to consult to
gether afld. adopt some means of escape frcm
the oppressive load of taxation which has
beeu imposed upon the people by a negro
Legislature. Scott, the carpet-bag Gover
nor, and ChambcrlatD, the Lieutenant Gov.
ernor, occupied seats in tha convection aud
pledged their co-operation iu ths movsment.
We will let the New Yoik Tribune arjswer
. , j e .ur- i
a specul correspondent to South Carolina to
investigate the condit-.cn of the State in all
its aspect, and epeciai!y the capacity of j
the negroes for legislation. Coming from
such a source, it is a foregone conclusion that
this correspondent tells the truth, and that j
' he "neither exteiaiates, Lor seta down aught I
in malice." The following plain statements j
J from one of his tetters ought to overwhelm
even Dutkr
ith shame and confusioa, if he
was not insensible to both :
"South Carolina may be regarded as the
typical Southern State. Here the Southern
idea was most fnily developed, and here tbe
change to the Northern system of govern
ment and society is most radical, and is at
tended by the greatest resistance. The rmlg
wonder is that this change has been accompa
nicd try so Utile violence, when it is consider
ed that no civilized community ever under
went so sudden and thorough a revolution in
all its social, industrial and political rela
tions. The slaves of yesterday are the masters
of today ; and the old. havghty, rilling clans
is reduced to a condition of political thral
dom. In order to comprehend the present
disturbed condition cf the State, it is neces
sary to eousider the elements of its popula
tion and their changed relations to each other.
In a total of 729,000 inhabitants there are
about 426.000 negroes, who, as a class, are
ignerarst, superstition, semi barbarians, bat
little elevated in intelligence above their
kindred iu Afiica. I speak of the great mass
of the negroes, of tin plantation "field
hands." They are extremely indolent, and
wi'l make no exertion beyond what is necessa
ry io obtain food enough to satisfy their
hunger, awoovro-ewoo
Upou these people not only political rights
have been conferred, but they have absolute
political supremacy. They are the governing
class in South Carolina, and a class more
totally unfit to govern does not exist vpon the
face of the earth. ooeo
" would be hard to imagine a slate of so
ciety more entirefg tin fitted for a Republican
form of government than this. The inttlli
gent people of the State has no voice in public
ajfairs, aud no influence in the government,
aud are obliged to submit to the rule cf a class
just relieved fioux slavery, and incompetent,
without guidance, to exercise the simplest da
ties of citizenship. This condition of affairs
is so unwholesome and unnatural aud so
fruitful of ceil that it is clear thai U cannst
last.
The Connecticut rrnud
The latest outrage perpetrated by the
Radical party is tSe snrfirnary action of the
majority in the Connecticut Legislature de
claring that Jewell. Republican, had been
elected Governor over English, the Demo
cratic candidate. It bat become a fixed rule
of condect with the leaders cf that lawless
party, not to permit a Democrat to hold an
i See to which he had beea fairly srd legal
ly elected, if the most shamef:;l fraud and
perjury ca prevent it. WheoShenck. one of
vhefr leaders in Congress, was defeated last
October by Lewis D. Campbell, in the Day
ton (Ohio district, an effort was Tade to
onseat Campbell npon the shallow pretense
that a large number of JiialTc-J c'''-srs
from tler States, then at tbe Dayton hospital
terwli bare voted for Slienck, if tbe election
i3icers had received their ballots, notwith
standing tbe fact that tbe Supreme Conrt cf
Ohio JI the jiwges being Radicals had
solemnly decided that under the election
laws cf that State, they were not entitled to
the right sf suffrage. Tbe attempt-most
signally failed!. Tbe Italics in the Con

Haven Register, in an article exposing the
infamous fraud, says :
The "Smelling Committee," appointed
by the Legislature to figure tut the defeat of
Governor English, have completed ttheir
woik to, at least, their own satisfaction.
The history of the State furnishes no prece
dent !ur such an act and iherS ia no- war
rant ii the Constitution for it. The power
cf the Legislature to go back of the returns
of Town Officers, and re-open ballot-boxes,
has been so thoroughly denied,; that it 13
unnecessary to discuss it anew ; but there
are some peculiar features in this case that
should be noted, for future reference. From
the start, this has been u one-sided affair.
Democratic members could not serve on the
Committee; as they did not bslteve in the
legality of the proceeding and to take part
in it, would be to couutenance tue scneme.
Besides, it is evident that th majority were
intent on forcing the issue. When, there
fore, they found that the Fourth Waid box
did not cettain as many votes as were re
turned by the Re ublican Moderator that
instead, ot too many for English," there
were too fow for Jewell ! and the lacgh was
nnon them a new device was Inaugurated

On the night of April 1 (jnsigriifieaut
datf). Thorns V.rren Red, of Rial's In
land, Jouesport, Maine, aged seventeen, and
a sailor, dreamed that at a certain spot on
the island he ccu'd fir,d a brasi kettle; that
he must go nfXt day and get it, fed that
thirty days afterward he must go to the
same p'ce and he would find $'2 000 in
gold. The first part cf the dream was liter
ally fulfilled; he found tho kettVs buried iu
the eanh, with cue edge just viable. He
removed it from the ground readdy and car
ried It home. In the kettle were five kuives,
all cf antique English make, harily corroded,
and a piece of human rib. The kettle had
been covered with a heavy woolen blanket,
which was so decayed that it was haoled
with difficulty in'the smallest pieces. Thos..
being somewhat superstitions, and fearful of
the horrid fate that always overtakes money
diggers, ran away to sea. and could not be
prevailed on to remain until the expiration
of the thirty days and verify the entire ful
fillment of the dream. Other parties dng
for money and found smother kettle, but it
was empty Of conrs-e there are rwnors
that money was discovered, but r.ot much
credence is given to the reports- How came

A SrSsrjLAK Stoky. The Wooster, Ohio,
Republican gives a loi.g account of the re
markable manner in which a family in that
city bas been persecuted through some un
explained agsncy. Mr. Iloftmau, the head
cf the family, ia a miller, and stands in good
repute. The trouble commenced by his mis
sing two dollars from his pocket book ; he
then hid Lis money, but was unable to find
it again, it having disappeared in an unac
countable manner. Articles of food and
clothing began to Wave in an erjully mys
terious way ; crockery-ware fell from shelves
an! was broken ; stones, gravel, eggs, and
other things wtre thrown about in the
house, apparently without human agency,
the headquarters of the disturbance appear
ing to-be vo thetcell. The family changed
their residence, but the annoyance followed
them, and as yet no satisfactory explanation
of the proceedings has been given. Cloth
ing belonging to the family has disappeared,
and then mysteriously returned cut in pieces.
Notes have been found in the house without
there being any reasonable explanation of
their presence, and skeptical young men
have beeu hit cn the head with red
hot stoics. Mr. Hoffman haa had clergy
men called in to pi ay, and has himself in
dulged ia some vigorous profanity on the
subject ; but neither experiment resulted in
quelling the disturbances, which, at last ac
counts, co&tiuued a source cf great terror
and wonderment to the gojd people of Woos
ter and the region around about.

Bbick and Butleb. Tho Radical papers
have treated their readers to a letter of But
ler, in which he said that the wife of "Brick"
Potneroy engaged him as her counsel to pro
cure a divorce, and that Bntler forced Pome
roy to allow his wife $20,000, and an an
nuity. Mr. Pomeroy has nailed th false
hood in a letter to the New York Tribune.
in which he states that Mrs. Pornefoy and
himelf separated by mutual convent in
1861, and that a divorce was rscently agreed
upon ia an amicable manner; that Mrs.
Pomeroy is an estimable lady, and never
wrote to Butler or asked for his assistance in
any way ;' that Butler wrote to her ani of
fered bis services, but that no notice was
taken of his lettor by Mra. Pomeroy, and no
reply was made ;' that Mrs. Pomeroy was
never in need of pecan iary assistance; and
that Butler's letter is false iu every particu
lar which is no more than might have been
expected by any sensible person. The Tri
bune published Mr. Pomeroy's letter, but it
remains to be seen whether other Radical
journals will have the manliness to make
tbe same apology for their misstatements.
