POLITIOAL,
TII JE N EU' MIER ELL ON.
“Put Ilon - n the Bloch Republicans.”
—A gentleman who has been 49 years a resi
dent in Georgia sends the following to the New
York Tribune:
"Gen. Lee'S letter being ex parte, it seems to
require a reply. Having' sojoprued in Georgia
the past six months, and traveled consldertbly,
will not attempt to accuse Oen. Lee &Co. of de- -
liberate falmbOod. Their picture may be tree in
their locally, butt will represent things as they
arc here. If those gentlemen will come to Geor
gia and travel through the State, visiting the
cities and stopping at, the hotels, they will hear
very different sentiments. I will cite a few: A
wealthy Democrat In Attanta was asked recently
by a peraon who knew that he held a large
amount in Confederate bonds, 'How are
tr
these Confederate bondsow? A. `They will be
good in six months, and we will have the derides
back where they were.' Another ease: --A De
mocrat In a crowd reinarked, 'We mast put
down these d—d Black Republicans.' The re
mark was acceptable, butskirresponse was made:
He added—' We must go in and shoot all sympa
thizers, and then, if the d—d nigger& don't Coate
down, shoot every d—d one:of: them.' The tra
veling drummers play smart. The whisky-ring
drummers usually have The Aa,Crosse Democrat
in night and soon,Maltri the acquaintance of the
hot beads No doubt most of them are
Copperheads. who' ' represent ("topper
distilled") French importers ". with pure
American manufactured, French Cognac.
No truthful person can - travel one Month in
Georgia without becoming convinced of the ultra
rind:dire spirit existing here. The erisishl Com
leg,'iand unless checked ere long the horrors of
the rebellion will he repeated in in aggravated
form. Rule or ruin is the rebels' motto. The
motto with the old rebellious party is 'Seymour
and Blair and peace.' Well, if every white and
colored mon in the South will submit to Demo
cratic rule, we may have a peculiar pewee. This
cannot be expected, and the refusal will be held
to be justifiable cause' for persecution. We are
in a more deplorable condition than we were in
18C0." '
Murders in South Carolina.
—The Waehington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says: - -
The following is !rely a partial Ilst of the mur
ders and outrages that have been committed in
South Carolina within a short time:
Sampson James, colored, shot in Marion
county. •
Dank Jones, colored, shot by Willis Crafts,
Abbeville.

Three colored men in Abbeville killed. Their
bodies found, but names unknown.
The Blau' Family.
The Blair party, says the N. Y. Sun, is not
likely to be reduced except by death to leas than
three in number. But few as there are of the
Blairs, they are just about three too many for
any one party to carry. The old man would
strengthen a party if he were alone, but
you might as well have your tea all
molasses as to have three Blairs in one
party. Not that they make a party too sweet,
but they make it too much Blair. The Blake are
unselfish; every one, of them cares as much for
either of the others as ho does for himself. Mont
gomery regards with some degree of favor any
man who has ever done anything for -my brother
Frank.", As for "my father," Montgomery con
siders him the most successful politician since
the days of Jefferecn. He believes that
his father has furnished the brains for all
the Democratic Presidents—that is, for all who
have shown any brains—from Old Hickory down.
The best of the joke is, that it is more than half
tine. But while the old gentleman has contributed
brain eo liberally to Democratic Administrations,
when he came-to supply his own sons he did not
overdo the matter at all. However, they know
enough to keep out of the Bre, and, from present
appearances, porbably enough to keep out of
oflice hereafter-
Blair, pn,i,he Bturnp.
—A correspondent of the Chicago Republican,
writing from Mattoon, Illinois, gives the follow
ing account of a reception given to Frank Blair.
Be says'
" The first burst of enthusiasm that grceted my
ears was three cheers for Jeff. Davis. This came
from the procession as it _ took up Its_ line of
mareli. - TTheimposing - array - consistedlif, by-ac
tual count, twenty-one wagons, two bands,
twenty-nine blue boys in butternut, followed by
a miscellaneous assemblage of about 130, em
bracing a large number of the real Ku-Klux and
rioters who reabita - the &aft in Coles county.
Among the transparencies were the following :
We don't want no Indian nor nigger siluaws for
Ives; also another, Hurrah for hell! To the
latter a soldier remarked, that it was all right, as
be believed in every man being for his own
country.
"Gen. Logan, who is on his way to Springfield,
was at the hotel. When the procession passed
by they gave him three. groans and a rebel yell,
followed by three cheSrs for Wade Hampton and
Forrest. Profanity, vulgarity and drunkenness
have been so prevalent among the Democrats
here to-day, that ladies and children dare not go
about the streets without an escort. Several
fights and knock-downs occurred and a number
of arrests were made.
"The ebow commenced atabout-i.-)F. M., when
- F. P. Blair commenced his :old defence- of what
be called the Constitution; then the - Milligan
ease, followed by the host scurrillous attacks
upon Congress; then ;at indorsement of the re
bellion and all its leaders, closing with a shameful
denunciation of our brave and gallant boys, and
the officers who commanded them, and who now
think and vote as they fought. Many Democrats
remarked that the meeting had accomplished
nothing, and they would have been better off if
Blair had never came here."
Stspre.stivo Titles.
A New Hampshire 'paper thinks that "our
Democratic friends are unfortunate in having
names for their clubs which. read badly when
abbreviated. The Democratic Jackson.Associa
tion' had a'good run until the Norwich, Ct., Bul
letin wickedly 'abbreviated it to 'Dem. Jack.
Ass.,' and now they have ~ taken the name of
'Jackson Union Guard,' the initials of which
U. G.—are a little sugg,cstive of bad habits."
In New Orleans, too, there were the "Seymour
Guides" and the "Blair Guards." - But the South
ern. fashion of prononneing the latter title hastily
gave it an implealiant sug . gestiveness, raid - new
there arc the "Blair Guideri," , and the "Seymour
Guards.". . •
PHILADELPIHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1868:
f.• The Most Diotresokull Party.”
—The N. Y. TribUtie to-day says;
" 'Tis the most distressful party that ever yet
was emu. What with Blair going o and fro like
a roaring lion, and Beyaiour hasMniag, •
a bleating lamb, and Belmont proving thitrotti
lug has happened and nObOdy d pacanit,anything.
and Tilden counting his gains, and the World
screaming daily for au 'wiring word, a
chivalric action, a change in the aspect of the
canvass, an rend of smooth deceits, vaporing

press denouncing the World as a traitor, Demo-
eratic affairs would seem to have reached a sail elently,sorrowful pass already. But now comes
dm- Notional Intelligencer, renewing the revolt'
after the World , has been whipped back into the

tory demand for an entire change of candidates
denouncing Mr. Belmont's address as 'words(
words, words,' and pretty plainly suggesting
that, unless its demands are compiled with, it
means to quit the 'concern. There are hints of
a meeting of the National Committee to-morrow
in Philadelphia, charges that Belmont's address,'
was without authority, insinuations that there'
is deep_treaeliery somewhere, ,general wrangle.
and, Governor t3eymour pours Steadily
'Tis the most distressful party that ever yet wasseen." •
neymones Cbancc Destroyed by the
Movement at any Rate.
(From the Baltimore Gazette, Oct. V.]
The whole business thus far .seems to have
been grossly mismanaged. Until the arrange
ment to take np Mr. Chase had been perfected,
the journals which approved of such a coarse
should have abstained from repudiating
Mr. Seymour, and thereby doing him
incalculable damage. As they have now
brought about confusion, and made pub
lic these important differences in the party,' it
might be the wisest thing under, the circum
stances, to make some change either in the can
didates or in the conduct of the canvass, which
would tend to the restoration:lA=lW and , con
fidence. About the propriety of taking up Judge
(These. or the probability of> now defeating the
Radical party, we refrain, at. present, from ex
pressing any opinions. While entertaining very
decided views of these points, we desire to ab
stain from it any way embarrassing those who
may differ from us.
Seymour's Little Zest.
The N. Y. PO4 says :
Horatio Seymour is reported byfite World as
saying in Rochester, in reference to the wisdom
of the Republican party:
"Thus far in the canvass these claims have
been discussed. Their speakers, lumen as time
who spoke for the Democratic party, have been
engaged in laying before you their views upon
these subjects, and what is the result? 'So com
pletely have our opponents' side been driven
from the field upon t.b.ese points, that they now
find that' it is necessary to change their front.
We are admonished that a change of front on
the eve of battle is a dangerous thing.""
This shows a merry way of taking things,
worthy of all praise. The whole Democratic
party is stirred and broken by the effort to get
rid of its own candidates, and one of their'ean
&dates kooks on this as 'a Republican change of
front !
It Is a funny joke, but the impudence of it sa
vors much more of Blair than of Seymour. Per
baps the ticket is really wrong side up, as the
Blake insist! -
Colored Preacher Shot in His Pulpit.
An ex-member of the Georgia Legislature, who
was a Colonel in 'the Rebel army, but , who now
subscribes himself "a disgusted Democrat,"
writes from Rawkinsville, Ga., as follows:
"No longer ago than last night, a colored
preacher was shot in the pulpit in the suburbs of
this city, while he was engaged In - religions ser
vices with his people, Something like a week
ago, not far frOM this place, a negro
preacher was beaten so badly returning from
church that he died Yesterday. The
clubs commonly called Giant clubs, among
the negroes, are the theatre of a vast number
of deaths, the leaders or officers are usually
hunted and shot as mere game. I see no relief
for the negroes of Georgia except to remand the
State back to the military power. And I cannot
see how Congress can do otherwise if the negro
members of the Legislature are declared ineligi
ble; for according to that theory, the Constitu
uonal Amendment is not adopted. This much I
will tell the country : In Georgia's present con
dition no fair election can be held within her
limits. Thsusands of negroes must either vote
for Seymour, against their will, or be killed or
starved to death. Congress would act wisely to
throw Georgia out of the electoral count at the
coming election."
The Indian War.
—A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald sends
the following items respecting General Sheri
dan's operation from Fort Hays, Kansas. We
may premise that his version of the action of the
Peace Commission is entirely incorrect:
"Major-General Sheridan received to-day des
patches from several columns and posts within
his department in relation to the Indian hostili
ties now prevailing. A letter from Fort Lamed,
on the Arkansas river, in this State, dated Octo
ber 2, 1868, from Brevet Major-General William
B. Hazen, announces that on the preceding day,
October 1, 100 Indians, supposed to be
Kiowas, attacktd Fort Zarah. Lieutenant
L. W. Cook, Third Infantry, with a small force
from Fort Lamed, happened to be present at the
time of the occurrence., With about twelve men
he marched out to meet the savages,and engaged
them at threes hundred yards. One Indian was
killed and his bodycaptured vilth all his acoutre
ments. Several were also wounded. While this
preliminary engagement was going on, other
troops in the fort were formed and _ marched to
reinforce Lieutenant Cook. When these fresh
troops appeared the savages fled, moving up the
liver. A short distance above they mot a Gov
ernment provision train on its way to Fort Lar
ned with rations. This the savages attacked,kill
ing one teamster and securing the mules from
three wagons - . --
"At daylight, October 2, the same party at
tacked a rancho eight miles below Fort Lamed,
driving off all the stock. A small detachment,
ulI that- colad safely be spared from the fort,
*ere sent in pursuit. A very significant fact, in
dicating the warlike feeling of the Indians on the
Arkansas, may be gathered from the circum
stance that no Indians have come In. as they
promised, to get their rations and return to their
reservations. General Hazen accepts this as very
conclusive evidence that they intend war. The
war club captured by Lieutenant Cook is said by
Curtis, the interpreter, to be Kiowa, from which
it is judged that the hostile savages were of that
nation.
The resolution of the Indian Peace Commis
sion, as the fact has been telegraphed to the
commanding general, favoring the prosecution
of a vigorous war against the savages, gives great
satisfaction to the army on the Plains, and un
trammelled by a misinformed or deluded body of
philanthropists-there - is now . - &ery prospect of
eupprersing Indian hostilities, as far as the na
tions now in revolt are concerned, for all time to
come. It may be mentioned as one of the pecu
liar instances of the control of the Peace t:om
missioners over the Indians and the fidelity of the
latter to their promises, that in the recent en •
gagement with the 'savages several Peace Cow.
mission medals were captured from- the bodies
of dead Indians.
"Governor Crawford, of Katisas, and •General
Sheridan entirely agree upon a most vigorous
war policy toward the Indians. The Governor
has returned to Topeka and the regiment of vol•
unteer cavalry authorized to be raised in this
State it is expected will be in:the field by the be
ginning of November. The organization will
consist of ten companies of 100 men each.
"It is understood that a pack of Indian , agents
have set out for the 4..rkansas to attempt to in
duce the Indians in that, region to return to
theirreeervations. • These men have not the sym
pathy-or even the respect of -a single • officer in
the army, and it is
• not thought that their errand
of peace. from no le.ss patriotic motives,than to'
resume,their lucrative trade ; with, the Indians,
will -meet- with anY, • encouragement from;
any source' in the army. The General pom
inanding the Department., is certain upt,to show
OUR WHOLE COUNTR.y.
them any favor, and If half a dozen are scalped
the country will not be' the worse off, and there
is little prospect of any serious lamentation on
the part of the army. As soon as cold weather
gol , es on we may look for overtures of ' peace
/Tom the now rebellions savages; but no propo
sitions whatever wilt be entertained until they
are so crippled that they will not be able, as
usual, to renew hostilities as soon as the weather
in epilog becomes suitable to their purposes.
"General Sheridan bas authorized the employ
ment of Ute Indians as scouts. a. body. of Oaagea
will also be taken into the service for the
same purpose. Some .of the rebellious Indians
have for some time peat been making overtures
for a Coalition with these tribes against the whites,
but the latter have rejected them with great em
phools. The Ute Indians are known to be mortal
&mantes of the St was and Cheyennes, while the
Osages and the Cheyennes Indulge in the bitter
est animosity towards each other. The band or
Utes who will be accepted number aboat 180
warriors and the (Magee as many, more."
A correspondent writes from Mexico:
•Therebas been read in Congress this afternoon
an hour since, documents captured on the person
of en emissary, in Vera Graz, and by Escobedo,
on the frostier. which bear the,signature of Gan
erul Santa Anna, proving the existence of a plan
for the overthrow of the present goyernment.•
They furnish the evidence that there are now
or have been parties here who have devoted
themselves to the new revolution. Santa Anna
sent an officer to Vera Cruz with instructions
to use his discretion,,and by any or all . means
get possession of that place in his name as corn-
wander-in-chief for the restoration of the rights
of society. • Re asserts that the government is
now in the hands of a small minority, &c. Letters
from Escobedo , stating that an attack from the
frontier was to be apprehended,'headed by Gen
Quiroga and others. These communications
were received with roars ad• laugtiter oy triet;eu
gressmen as well as by the audience, and M.
Fries y Soto objected to their being dignified by
a ptiblication iu the Mario o.ificial, bat - rattier
that they should be tttrned over to the Orqeusta,
the Mexican Punch. Santa Atitta's signatures to
his communications was , followed by his several
European titles and decorations.
General Kautz arrived here a few days since
••.nci has met a friendly reception from many
here, Including officers of the government. The
preen airentaiuna in the United +States - in regard
to his possible business hero came with or pre
ceded him, but seem to have made no unfavor
able Impression i:wept upon-the Globe, which is
inclined to squint at the General with suspicion.
The General apparently desires t
o rati on ? ,
n a o q o ul n e e i.

—A Melbohnie cOiredpondent of the "%Jew York
Triune says
""Your readers are doubtless all familiar with
the details of the outrage committed on , Ameri
cans by the Fijian and - 'with ; the claim of
64,5,000 made by the k
United States GoVerament
' , therefor. King Thakomban was unable to raise
the amount, to satisfy the claim, and the , United
States governmelatihreatened , to enforce it. In
this strait a company, or rather some delegates
au proposed company in Melbourne, waited
upon his majesty, and offered to settle the clairn
on condition that certain lands were
ceded to them. A charter was drawn up, which,
however, was protested against by "Her Majesty's
Acting Consul, and decided against by Commo
dore Lambert. Eventually, however, a charter
was agreed to, by which the King agreed to cede
to the Company 200,000 acres of land embraced
In various Wands, harbors & c., set forth , in the
charter, with full •protection for all settlers and
inhabitants, in consideration of which the Com
pany were to pay the claim of the United
States Government, and granted a pension
of $l,OOO per annum to King Thakombaa. Dr.
Brower, the American Consul,reinsed to recog
nize the agreement, without the delegates would
become personally responsible for one year's
interest upon the amount. The delegates did
not seem to quite appreciate this stipulation.but,
seeing no alternative, they eventually agreed to
the terms. The company have the sole privlle4e
of establishing banking institutions, and circula
ting bank-notes in the kingdom, for the term of
21 years. The Company have no doubt taken
advantage of a favorable oppartunity, and made
a good bargain for themselves."
On Saturday, the 13th of August, a remarkable
tidal wave visited the harbor of Sidney and of
several ports in this colony and also Tasmania
and Queensland. It was high tide on the morn
ing of the 13tb, at about 5 o'clock, and the water
was ebbing rapidly at 8 A. M., when suddenly
the waters returned and rushed up the harbor
with 'great force. In some places the water
appeared• to be boiling, while in others
rapid whirlpools were formed: steamboats
and shipping generally were swung around
and hustled about in a remarkable
manner; some ships snapped their warps and had
to proceed tosea.- -The waters were:much discol
ored, possessing fully five per cent. of mud. 'At
Darling Point the tide rose fully two feet in five
minutes. The water was rushing fourteen knots
an hour,and interrupted the navigation of the bay.
The disturbance was not confined to the morning
tid e,and in some parts of Port Jackson the effects
were more noticeable during, the afternoon. A
steamer with a party of excursionists barely es
caped being driven ashore.
Hr ADQUARTEEP REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN - ROOMS,
Y.I.NwroN, D. T., Oct. it;, 1868.—We met the
enemy on the evening of the 13th inst., and "they
are ours." Our victory is as decisive and over
whelming as was that of General Grant at Vicks
burg or Five Forks. The Republican candidate
for delegate to the XLlst Congress, the Hon. B.
L. Spink, and Territorial officers arc. triumph
antly elected. in the face of the most shameless
and corrupt use of Federal patronage,
the active personal efforts or the officers
them ',elves in every case, accompanied
by a free distribution of whisky to all
who desired to partake. At least two-thirds of
our legislative assembly elect are straight Repub
licans. This result has been achieved by united
action, thorough organization and earnest and
persistent effort. Had we a vote on the Presi
dential question on the 3d of November next, as
in Chicago_ on_ the. 20th of -31ay-lastrDakota
would declare by morethan two to.ifilie in favor
of Grant and Colfax. Below find returns showing
majorities as far as heard from. The result
cahnot he changed by returns yetito come in. The
County of Minnehaba gives a Republican major
ity of—; Lincoln, —; Union, 45; Clay,2B; Yank
ton,7s; Bonhomme, 4; LaramleBoo. The County
of Charles 311x,a Democratic majority of 58. The
County . of Todd a hybrid majority of 8 votes.
In the precincts yet to be heard from, the vote
will be very 'small; indeed, it is doubtful if an
Election was held at several of them. At any
rate. the result' Cannot be Changed thevote yet

The discrepancy was due' to the inevitable,
contrast of the national idea When Victor
Hugo, as the result of much Warm randy end
pains, ; bad fornied a certain, high" copopptiqu,
of the grand master of romance,,he carried it
pompously across the channel to be admired;
but over against it, in the English mind, Ahern
existed the rightful eidOlon or image, heredi ;
tary, firm, impregnable, the result all, ,the
history and all the individuali'ty of the Anglo-
Saxon character. It was as if smooth
Greek sculptor should have tried to speculate
in Seandinavia with a statue of Olin.
There are, then, these national eolorations; ,
breed and involving all, lik&-the defining
tints upon the map. But surely 'they aredis
solving rapidly with the Course Tif tide"; the
habit of travel and modern' facilities rife lead
ing toMbre worthy' simpathies; • a , noble and
almost sacred curiosity pervades us abont the
prmtheons of our neighbor's. Modern
gence, like old conquering Rome, invited the
gods - ot the foreign countries. Intercourse
and intermarriage are not breaking down old
walls, but elevating us where we'can see'over
them. The John Bull who hair livid awhile
in Paris and attended a few conversazioni
in Naples, finds that somehow the title "Cor
sican boar " no longer expresses all that is to
be said about Napoleon; at the same time
the added letter in the phrase "the divine
Williams," hardly fills him with the old de
light.
There must be persons by this lime, we in
sist, who could hear the old succesSful joke
about the divine Williams without being
greatly moved to mirth. , The average Ameri
can conception of Lafayette, if stamped into
a phrase by some admiring Serseyman, might
get into a form quite as funny to the ears of
a Parisian.
Pauwelt3' fine picture is not so cosmopoli
tan but that it labors under some of the
difficulties that deprived Victor Hugo's book
of its fair fame.
We are asked, we practical Americans. to
contemplate an idealized Lincoln and napitit..
ualized Washington standing with Columbia
uponn, an improbable flight of steps that: do
not pretend to lead to anywhere,--a: dais of
many platforms, spread with foreigneering
looking rugs and damask of anti-utilitarian
gold. Lincoln's honest feet would undoubt
edly have burned unpleasantly upon ~such:a
carpet. Then Beecher, whom we know in
exhortation and in the lyceum, .is sud
denly called upon to radiate the mystical em
anations of allegory,.and to infuse instruction
into the negro brain-by the -imposition of
-hands,-in-art nrtfamiliar and dell:tißlivhternart -

Homestead Act to the immigrant, not foren=

There, those are the heads and fronts of the
offending. That is the manner in which , arti
-eminent foreign.painter has chosen to -deli-'

go a little way out of our beaten track and
meet him on his own ground ?
