The Cincinnati Chronicle announces the death •of Mr. Charles Cist in these terms: Another of our city's old and highly respected citizens has departed, in the person of Mr. Charles Chit. He is reinembered as having been for a long time one of the most intelligent and useful of Cincinnati's early business men. Mr. Ciat was a native of Philadelphia, born on .April 24, 1792. He married November 18, 1817, and moved to Cincinnati in 1827. Until 1840 he was engaged in mercantile pursuits, but having acquired a taste forliterary labor and the publish ing business in boyhood, from familiarity with his father's printing office, he then turned his at tention in this direction. While engaged in 191cing the general census in this district, he ac •cumulated a vast amount of statistical infor mation about the condition of the city, and published a work entitled "Cincinnati In 1841." After this he employed his time vari ously until 1845, when he .began the publication of a weekly newspaper; styled Ciet'e Advertiser. In 1852 he was compelled to abandon it for want of proper support. In 1851 and in 1859 he pub lished two other volumes in the shape of Direc tories of the city, similar to that issued in 1841. He also published a volume of Cincinnati Miscel lany, containing all the early reminiscences of the city he could obtain. Since 1853 Mr. Chit has resided on College Hill, - where he has been quietly enjoying, with his family, the serene comfort derived from reflec tions on a life well spent. —The month of August is the anniversary of the birth of severaLsavereigns: the Emperor of Austria, Frauds Joseph 11. born the 18th of Au gust, 1838; the Empress of 11., born .

Mayor POLITICAL. The Georgia Outrage. The New York Tribune, in discussing the ex pulsion of the loyal members of the Georgia Le gislature, sue: "A greater outrage has never been perpetrated under a free Government. It adds ingratitude to injustice. When the Legislature first assembled there were some thirty Demo cratic members who had served in the rebel army, and who were, therefore, ineligibletooffice. The negroes might have visited upon them the merited pains of rebellion, by excluding them, and insisting upon oaths or conditions of loyalty. If they had been vindictive men; if they had been moved by any dread of the future, or any ven geance for the past, they had only to keep these rebels from the House and demand the election of loyal men. These Freedmen had received Suf frage, and they replied by granting Amnesty. By a magnanimous and solemn vote they de creed that the rebel membermhould be admitted to their seats with all, the rights and privileges of loyal men. What use do they make of their new power? A resolution was suddenly intro duced that, under the new Constitution, men of color were not permitted to be members of the Assembly. It seems that under the old rebel law any man who had more than one-eighth of negro blood in his veins was ineligible to office. This law was of no more force than the'laws of the whipping-post and iron collar. It belongs to a past era, and is as dead, in all respects, as Slavery and Rebellion. It was made a precedent, how ever, and after a little delay a resolution was passed declaring that twenty-five men who were supposed to have negro blood in their veins were not members of the House. Upon this question the negroee, as parties interested, were not al lowed to vote. Four other men, who were sup posed to have less than one-eighth of the negro blood, were for the present permitted to remain. "We might challenge this action upon many grounds. In the first place, we find a law which Is as dead as the law of primogeniture quietly disinterred and made to serve an unjust purpose. If this law isjastly interpreted, then there is no reason why the Legislature may not remand the ,whole negro race into slavery, and find warrant In the old State law of Georgia. In the second place. we find a large body of drily elected legis lators prevented from voting upon a question vitally important to the country. Twenty-five men are suddenly told that they are disfranchised, and, although duly elected to office, they are re moved without taking, in any sense, the wish of the pecplo. "Granting the Rebel reasons for this outrage to be valid, twenty-five men might be expelled from the same Legislature for the color of their beards, or members of French descent might ex clude those of Eqglish blood. Any clique of , partisans, on the most frivolous charges, might east out all opposed to their designs, by not a!- lowing them to vote, on the pretence that they were interested in the point at issue. We pro test against the whole proceeding in the name of Justice, law, and order, and await the judgment of Congress with a calm consciousness that the provisions of the XIVEtt Amendment will be car ried out to the letter, and that the voice of 80,000 , ree voters in Georgia will be respected in her Legislature. '• Finally, we protest against this whole pro ceeding in the name of Justice and Liberty. We ree nothing but madness in the course of these Southern people. There can be no motive for Ibis disfranchisement but the bitterness and senge of a rebel sentiment, which, unable to destroy the Union, reeks its petty spite upon a weaker class. There is grave, ironical dignity in the 'remark of these colored men in their protest, that they remained at home to protect the families of white men while they were en gaged in lighting to destroy the Union. If these men were criminals, if they were without in telligence, if they were unworthy to represent their constituencies, if they proposed to pass extreme measures of confiscation, or banishment, or any revengeful legislation, we could excuse any ex pressions of temper or passion. But they have been wise, patient, gentle, most magnanimous, seeking no advantage from their strength, claim ing no exclusive privilege, but showing magna nimity, kindness, nay, even deference to those who formerly were their masters. They were men suddenly called to sew responsibilitit:,, ant, their only crime is their color. These colored men, driven from the Georgia Legislature by a base, most infamous, and most degrading obedience to prejudice, merely carry their question to a higher court. They appeal from a company of unwhipped and stiff-necked Rebels, eager to exercise their petty power, to the great American people. Good will come from this temporary ostracism. • The day for such injustice passel away when the flag that reormented Slavery and Rebellion was folded in the valleys of lower Virginia. Let our friends be patient; their time is coming swiftly, the protest of At lanta will soon find a lusty response in Maine, Pennsylvania and New York, and this will be the coming of the time when manhood will be the test of citizenshipand no rebel will dare to say that , because Gool'has covered a man with the skin of Asia or Africa or•Earope, he is to receive anything but equal justice and liberty and the fullest rights of an American citizen." The Augusta (Ga.) Republican has the follow ing : • • Our despatches state that the colored mem bers of the House were ousted yesterday. Tills will take no one by surprise. We were prepared for It. Indeed, since the keynote of revolution was sounded by Frank Blair, and re-echoed by Cobb, Toombs and Hill, we have been prepared tor any act of treason to the State or resolution against the government. It will not suffice for gentlemen to say that negroes ought not to be permitted to hold office. The negro is confessedly a citizen, and the constitution of Georgia makes him eligible to hold office. There fore we deliberately assert that every member of the House—not a natural noodle—that voted to deprive members of seats to which they had i , cen legally elected, because they had black skins, was recreant to his duty as a representa tive, and violated - the obligations which he as sumed when he took an oath to support the new Constitution. It only remains for the Legislature to consummate its record of infamy by legislating twenty-three Democrats, defeated before the people, into the seats which rightfully belong to men with whiter principles,if they do have blacker skins." The same paper says: "Before the ratification of the new constitu tion the following men said that it gave the black man the right to hold office; viz.. Ben. Hill, Judge Reese, Judge Cabiness, Judge Lochrane,E. H. Pottle, Bob Toombs, Carey Styles, Thomas Hardeman, Dr. Ridley, P. W. Alexander, P. M.B. Young, R. J. Moses, Howell Cobb, the Lamers, Judge Irwin, together with every Democratic newspaper and every little Democrat in the State —including Ranse Wright." WHY THE MEMBERS WERE EXPELLED. The correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Atlanta concerning the recent oat- rage, says : Yesterday was enacted in this city ono of the most remarkable scenes which has been exhibited In the strange, eventful drama of reconstruction in Georgia. The chosen and elected Representa tives of onehalf the legal voters of Georgia were ignominiously ejected from their seats in the lower House of the General Assembly, by the Representatives of the other half. All but four of the colored members of the House were found guilty of having negro blood in their veins, and for this crime were punished. That this was the sole cause of their expulsion is proved by the reasons given for excepting the four who were retained. Thlv were excepted rfor the pita:UV—because the Democrats choose to assume they bad less than one-eighth Afri can blood, while the twenty-fiver expelled were alleged to have more. No proof was offered of either assertion. The twenty-five wore acknow ledged to have as good title to their seats as the four, but the latter were of somewhat lighter com plexion than the twenty-five, and the Democrats, sitting as a jury, decided by inspection that the twenty-five were guilty and the four were inno cent of being negroes. Why they , should have spared the four when they could just as easily have expelled them is inexplicable, unless upon the theory that they might thereby gain some credit for magnanimity, or that they cared not to expel more than was necessary to give them an assured majority of two-thirds. Those excepted were as much Republicans as those who were ex pelled,yet it was more because they were Republi cans than because they were negroes that the latter suffered. But the four favored ones are only re prieved—they have only the poor privilege of being the last to be destroyed. A resolution has been Introduced to inquire into the quantity of negro blood in their veins, and their late is pre determined—yet one of these men proved to the satisfaction of one of a previous committee that be was a Frenchman born in Paris, that he was brought to South Carolina at arkearly age by his parents who soon ' after, died. and to gain possession of some little property be was heir to, the managers of his father's estate sold him he a slave in Georgia. He has not for gotten his native language, but speaks very pure Parisian French. Another of these four was a captain In the Federal army commaned white troops, fought in many of 'the most importsnt battles in Virginia, was with Sherman in his fa mous march to the somas dangerously wounded, and twice a prisoner of war. Neither of these men could be taken for colored men if met on Broadway, but they have pleaded guilty of being of African blood, and they will be punished for it. Such are the beauties of Southern Democ racy. ISOIITII CAROLINA. Eloquent Address of the Negroes to the Native Whites. The negroes of South Carolina have issued an address to their white fellow-citizens of that State, the principal points of which are these: 711 E REASON FOR TUE ADDRESS. "F'ellow-citizens: We, the colored citizens of Charleston, address you, in answer to two very remarkable addresses which you have of late issued in this city respecting us and our race in this city and State. Yon have first addressed a communication to the white people of this city and State, and in fact to the whole world, In which you have been pleased to allude to our race in such a manner and In such terms as to place us in a false light before all mankind, attributing to us motives and designs, aims and determinations of revenge, rapine, ar eon. murder, pillage and violence such as we never entertained for a moment, nor had any rea bon to perform or attempt; you have in that spe cial address to the whiten of this State, and to the whole country, charged us with seeking to destroy your property, to bring on a war of races, and thus inaugurate a reign of terror, each of 3 did prevail here during the late unhappy war, which charge we emphatically deny as ground ices. -In your last address to the colored voters, sanctioned by authority of the Democratic party, ou have assumed to direct us in the exercise of our rights as freemen; you have claimed in the iiret paragraph to be 'our best friends,' that 'we are naturally your friends, and yon are naturally our friends; any other relations between us are unnatural and injurious to both; Your protest -- ;ions of friendship certainly demand of us a proper and respectful recognition and acknowledgment; we should be devoid of that high characteristic which has been the redeeming feature in our na tional character, under the most cruel and un christian treatment ever inflicted by a civilized nation upon their 'friends.' We do at all times . and in all places appreciate kindness bestowed,' and we are ready at all times to concede to our friends whatever demands they may make upon us, when such demands do not involve the sur •encler of our manhood and the degradation of our wives and children. You have been very kind in laying down a line of conduct for us in the political arena. "It may be that our 'ignorance and unciviliza tion,' our inc tpacity' to comprehend the true meaning of English words and the position of the parties now contending for the supremacy in the government of this country, is a saffictent reason why we do not understand or 'see it' in the same light with you. * * "You find fault with us because we cave, by our political action, elevated Northern white men to offices of remuneration and trust, because we have not put intelligent colored men into position. To this we can but reply, that von were all arrayed against the measures of re construction—your intelligent white men would cot take part in the politics of the State, you opposed every measure which Congress offered to this and the other States lately in rebellion: our best men, your newspapers and orators, all urged your race not to take part in the recon struction of the State under the acts of Congress. THE BLACK CODE." "You acted on that advice, you did nothing to encourage us, you derided the idea of granting us the right to vote; when your legislature met in 1865-66; you passed that infamous Black Code, a hick is a disgrace to civilization; in that you denied us all rights in common with all other peo ple in the State; you by these acts denied our children the school house; you imposed penalties on us which were not imposed on white men: there were crimes which, if committed by a white man he was imprisoned, but if committed by a clack man he was hung. We submit to you whether that course was not enough to make us disbelieve every protestation of love you make. Your laws provided for taking and binding out uur children-and subjecting us to all manner of disabilities; we could not pursue any trade or calling in this State without a written permission from some white man ; we could not sell any article of barter without the consent first ob tained from some magistrate; with all these facts before us, and your Negro Code before us, and the penitentiary filled with our race, as the re sults of your ;legislation and the acts of your judges and lawyers, do you not see why we have been constrained to trust to strangers rather than to those who claim that they are our natural friends? "We cannot surrender the great palladium of our liberties—the ballot-box—for any considera tion whatever. And lf we are to be massacred because we refuse to vete the Democratic ticket: if we are to be murdered in cold blood because we will not sell our manhood, then let it come —we can die but once ; and if, as you state thirty millions of white men are going to fail upon four millions •because they are black and will not vote for Horatio Seymour and F. P. Blair for President and Vice- President of the United States, both of whom have declared that the negroes have no right to vote, then we are prepared to die, but not to vote to be killed. With a strong faith in God and eternal justice we wait the decision of high Heaven. If our cause be just, God will not suffer us to fall; with a firm faith in the right we ask nothing at the hands of our fellow-man but a fair chance In the race of life, and equal oppor tunities for ourselves, our wives anu our children. We ask no more." F. P. Blair, Jr., ou General Grant. After the fall of Vicksburg, General F. P. Blair made a speech at St. Louis, in which he said: "You will permit me, I know, coming back from Vicksburg—the scene of our recent conquest —to say what ought to be said and what now dwells in the heart of every officer and soldier in Grant's army, that to Major-General Ulysses S. Grant is due the great and chief honor of those great achievements which have been per formed by his army. And when any ambitions and vainglorious chieftain,. comes back and attempts to claim for himself the great deeds which have immortalized, and ought to immortalize, fgreneral Grant, the whole army of Grant, the whole army engaged in that expedi tion, will repel the idea; and we ;will , proclaim everywhere that the leading spirit, the great chief and leader of the expedition'was General Grant. "We claim for ourselves only that we sought OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. with cordiality and cheerfulness, with such cour age as we possessed, with such endurance as we were endowed with, to carry out hisplarm; and we did so successfully." The "vainglorious chieftain" that Blair re ferred to was General Jehn A. MeCiernand, now the head and front of the Democracy of Illinois. Contrast the words of Lee's letter with the words of the Southern orators who caught at the nomination of Seymour and Blair as the begin ning of a new hope for the "lost cause." Lee and his associates say : "Whatever opinions may have prevailed in the past in regard to African slavery, or the right of a State to secede from the Union, we believe we express the almost unanimous judgment of the Southern people, when we declare that they con sider that those questions were decided by the war, and that it ht their intention In good faith to abide by that decision. At the close of the war the Southern people laid down their arms, and sought to resume their former relations with the United States Government. Through their State Con ventions they abolished slavery, and annulled their ordinances of secession; and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a sincere purpose to fulfil all their dutlea under the Constitution of the United States, which they had sworn to support." Wise jumps to his feet In Richmond and says, "secession is more alive than ever." Vance says "the South will gain all It fought for in the re bellion." Semmes says he fought the war on the principles of Democracy, and. how the "grand old Democratic party has risen from its long slumber." Albert Pike says, "Swear eternal hatred to your oppressors. Swear that no Northern man shall cross the Susquehanna and the Ohio and live. Slaybach says, "By the elec tion of Seymour and Blair the South gains what they had fought for." Judge Jones thinks "State Rights" will be re-established by the Democratic party. Law ton says " the great principles for which we fought may be achieved." The Memphis Appeal says : " The day will come when the South will be independent.' Wade Hampton says:' "Never shall I admit that the cause itself failed, and that the principles which gave It life were wrong." We could multiply quotations ad infinitum. But enough have been given to show that the Southern people do not concur with Lee and his friends in saying that the secession question was "decided by the war."—N. 1. Commercial. Characteristic Letter from floury 'Baird Beecher. Henry Ward Beecher has sent the following letter to the Printers' Grant and Colfax Club in Washington: PEEKSK ILL, N. V., Sept 4, 1868.—Mr. G. IV. Scheirer.—DEAß SIR: I received duly the notice of my election as an honorary member of the Printers' Grant and Colfax Club. of Washington city. I accept the honor with pleasure, and shall co-operate with you in every just measure for the victory of those fundamental principles of moral and good government of which Grant and Colfax are the expositors. Revolutions do not go backwards, and I have every confidence that the conscience and intelligence which led this great nation to resist slavery sad to defeat it will now refuse to put the government into the very hands which either were raised against it or which refused to help in its defence. The new adhesion of impatient Southern men to the very worst type of democratic doctrine ever enuncia ted since the party went into alliance with slavery cannot but be as disastrous for the South a., was its league with the same party before the war. The democratic party seems fated to lead the South into desperate steps, and then to be utterly unable to help those whom it has deluded. It will be so again. Utterly lost to all moderation, the t'anrfntion in \eu' York boss laid down a platforlic which will briny civil war to the South again, unless it is prevented by Me victory °lac Republictin party, I um very truly yours, Moan - WAR!, BEECHER. Addres% of the Republican State Coin tuattee of Delaware. Tu the Republicans of Delaware: Comrades in tr a Good Cause:—Success rewards our efforts. Shall we pause? Our opponents were confident of carrying Wilmington. Never before were they so well organized at a city election. Yet we have largely increased our Republican ma jority. They hoped to reduce our majority i n Vermont, but thousands are added to it. These are but the advancing surges of the great tide of Republican victory. All over the nation the people are alive with enthusiasm for Grant and Colfax, the frienda-kifvertce, the opponents of new wars and new revolutions. Upon this tide every Northern State will carry them triumphantly into their high placts. Our friends in other States say to the Republicans of Delaware:—"Will you turn back in this great work ? Will you not stand by your sister States in November ?" Is this appeal in vain ? Shall we not hear and respond ? Wil mington will do better yet in November. New castle county acknowledges no "family" domi nation. With these to start on, and the glorious prestige of national success to aid us, shall we not work, work, worn: ? A Memphis correspondent of the New York thune speaks as follows of the outrages prac ticed by the rebels in that section : In the county immediately opposite itlemi,thif ) ,, Ku-Klux organizations rule the community as they please, in defiance of all law. No loyalist, black or white, is safe for an hour, and in some localities Union men congregate together in small squads at night and barricade the doors and windows ere they dare go to sleep. The old Rebel element are all armed; and apparently, at least, all banded together. In our own county of Shelby, too, not ten miles from Memphis, it is a common thing to hear of Ku-Klux gangs visiting the negro cabins iu search of arms, and intimidating the blacks by threats in case they fail to vote for Seymour and Blair. Ae' , calorie of our rebel press to the contrary, few Union men believe that outside of a few of the Eastern counties of the State, and Memphis and Nashville, it would be possible to-day to hold an election under the franchise law save by mili tary protection. " The seemingly most plausible theory of those Union men wile carefully . scan appearances about them seems to be that the whole is a well-con certed and systematic effort to control the whole of the Southern States for Seymour and Blair by the same system of tactics so successfully inaugu rated in Mississippi in defeating the constitution there. Thus the whole of the Southern States are to be reconstructed again and.placed in control of the old rebel element; the immense sacrifices of the loyal North in the Rebellion come to naught; carpet-baggers leave for more congenial climes; the "nigger" is kicked into his proper sphere,and the Rebels accomplish through the ballot what they lost through the ballet.

LERO,7I NEW YOBS. I Corregpondenee of the Phila. Evening Bullettal NEW Your:, Sept. 8, 1868.—We are now having clear weather again, for which some of us are deeply grateful. The last heavy rain, which began on Thuriday and did not hold up one minute in thirty hours, was the cause of great consterna tion among those who do not watch the almanac; and as a matter of course, it was set down as one of the most remarkable of rains on record. Yon and I have seen a hundred just like it. Next to the great shower, the Rosecrans (=n en down in Virginia, the arrival of the great French billiard player, and the last match be tween the Atlanties and Athletics, yesterday, nothing occupies much of the public mind more than the coming gubernatorial election. Hoff man's friends are confident that he will receive the heaviest vote ever polled in the State for a Democratic candidate, and the backers of Griswold are equally sanguine on the other side. The excitement has not fairly commenced yet, and it would not be sinful, f hope, to pray that it might never commence; for New York in elec tion times is like unto a suburb of Pandemonium, and not like the godly city which the Knicker bockers reclaimed from savagery and bequeathed to civilization. The match between the Athletics, of Philadel- phia, and the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, was played yesterday in the latter city, and resulted in another victor for the Quakers—the second within a week. The first match was played in Philadelphia. Since 1856 the Atlantics have been looked upon as the masters of the game of base ball, but they must uow acknowledge their in feriority to the Philadelphians. whose play can not be equalled. Although not a professional player, I am sufficiently a judge of the game to know that the Athletics are splendid fly-catchers, and as batters, are like a regiment of ancient rums, such as was used in bringing down the enemies' walls in the olden time. In their field ing they are glorious, as if born and brought up on the Champ de Mars. Where they learned to throw balls it would be hard to guess. Perhaps from the story told in Sam..XXVI, wherein it is related that Saul was hunting for David in the hill of Hachilah, N 9 bleb is before Jeshimon, and that when ho lay in the trench " the people pitched round about him." For the Athletics can pitch round about anybody. They fire balls around corners, and through things of a tough nature, with a certainty and vim truly astonishing. These Athletics bathe in oil, and arc much like eels in their adeptibility to circumstances. They play base ball a great deal, and when they rise from their sleep they play more. They are always fly-catching, field ing, pitching and batting. They lunch on muf fins, but never dine, because they have not time lor it. Is it any wonder that they beat everybody they play with Rudolph, the French billiard player, is about as expert with the Ivory spheres as the Athletics are with their leathern ones. He has beaten everybody thus far except young Foster, and him be cannot beat. Rudolph plays with right or left band, with two cues at once, with bridge, mace or finger, and astonishes all who watch mm. He throws a ball into the middle of the table, and after spinning there awhile, it comes to his hand as unerringly as if it were moved by instinct. He plays on two tables at the same time, caroms on bails in the air, and, in short, does anything which it is possible for a man to do with billiard balls. I may mention here that Rudolph is about to give exhibitions, and 'that Foster and Deery are about to play a match for t 250, at Cooper Institute. Another new paper will make its appearance on the 25th. It is to be a twelve-page woekiy. A. J. EL Duganne will edit it. Duganne is well known a- a story-writer, and is now editing the Stmduy Dispatch, besides attending to the mili tary records of the State. The "Wicketitst Man" fraud upon the commu nity no longer attracts any attention. Strong attempts are being made by the notoriety !cling ministers to keep the excitement up, but the public smell a mouse. There was a electing at Allen's dance house on Sunday, largely attendea" by well-dressed church mem bers, but none of the denizens of Water street were present. At a meeting of the Tammany Society held last night, Ftank P. Blair was made a Sachem. Hon. James Brooks, of the Express, and Calkins and Van Buren, of the World, were also baptized into the Columbian Order, after which there was a pow-wow. The new braves are doine well. TRAGEDY IN KENEUORY. !Murder of a Whole Family! The Louisville Courier of Sept. t; furnishes the following particulars of a terrible murder : One of the most appalling tragedies that ever occurred in this section of the country was en acted on last Thursday afternoon, in a lonely spot in the dense forest leading from Randolph station, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, some ten miles south of this city. The point at which it transpired is known as Lost Island, or Pond Island, and is in the midst of the forest, with no human being nearer than two miles, the distance to Randolph station. It appears that an industrious German, known as Charcoal John,occupled with his family,a little log house. The family consisted of his wife,an in fant child. and a little daughter live years of age. Yesterday morning some itinerant passing near the house was horrified at discovering the body of John lying not far distant in a pool of clotted blood, his skull broken in and brain oozing from the .frightful wound, which had evidently been made with an axe. A portion of one of the mur dered man's ears had been hewn off, and his face was coated with stagnant blood, an unrecogniz able mass of human gore. About sixty yards from the father was another horrible spectacle. Here lay the dead bodies of the mother and her infant child. Her skull had also been broken, and there was a fearful gash in her throat, probably from a blow intended to sever her head. The head of the child was also broken, and both were covered with blood. Still further on was a spectacle even more ghastly, if that were pos sible. This was the little daughter, only five years of age. She lay stone dead, her right shoulder literally cleft from its place,and a fright ful gash descending deep into the body, the blow evidently having been struck while the poor child was endeavoring to escape the clutches of the murderer of her parents and her sister. It is not positively known who the fiendish per petrator of this bloody butchery is. The bed in the house wasfound to be torn open. and the money gone, showing conclusively that the object of the atrocious crime was solely plunder. THE COURTS.
