THE South Carolina rebels, more bold and
straightforward than their Mississippi breth
ren, have no hesitation in officially declaring
their intention to vote in November, regard
less of Constitution or Law. BLAIR prom
ises them that every white man's vote, legal
or illegal, shall be counted, force being used
if necessary. The rebel votes of Texas, Vir
ginia and Mississippi, States not vet re-or
ganized, are to be counted in the same way.
Haven't the boys in blue something to say
about that
NOWHERE IN THE - UNION may be found a
clearer example of a purely Democratic ad
ministration of a public trust than in their
government of the city of NEW York.
Backed by some forty or fifty thousand ma
jority, all the rings of the party have full
and unchecked play in fleecing the tax-pay
ers. To be a Democratic office-holder in
that city is to have the license and the sure
pass-port to a fortune in a year or two.
What this costs the property owners may be
inferred from their rate of taxation, which is
$2.80 on the $lOO of valuation. Other com
mentary is needless.
THE OFFICIAL RETURNS FROM VERMONT
show - a Republican majority of about 27,000,
which is the largest majority ever given at
a mere State election. The Democrats are
hard at work to cypher out a little comfort
from the fact that this majority is less than
it was first reported, but they find it up-hill
work. Let us give them an easier- "sum"
to figure at, for example : The polls were
opened in Libby prison, Oct. 13, 1863, for
soled ers from Pennsylvania and Ohio. The
former gave 95 for CURTIN and 18 for
Woonwann; the Buckeyes gave BROUGH
160, scattering 1, add VALLANDIGHAM 0.
What was the Union majority on each vote?
Take time, and let us know next week.
If that sum should be too hard, we can
give you andther, thus: If the Copperheads
found it necessary-to-murder one Irishman
in Clearfield, in order to secure one .- State
Senatorial district in '67, how many good
Union men would they assassinate in order
to carry the whole. State of Pennsylvania
now ? Sharpen your pencils, not your
knives !
THE. SOLDIERS' CONVENTION TO-
NIGHT
To-night, at City Hall, the brave soldiers
and sailors of Allegheny county who are
favorable to the election of the Great Captain
of the Union Army, General U. S. GRANT,
to the highest office in the gift of the people,
will meet in Convention together, to organ
ize a VETERAN UNION PHALANX. The
boys - in blue who periled so much that their
country might live,_ who underwent long
and wasting campaigns under the old flag,
who fought against the rebel foe, languished
in rebel prisons, who saw thousands of com
rades kiss the earth in battle, who saw treason
t'arottled and GRANT'S lines victorious,
are now jealous of the honor they achieved,
°and in the hour of danger propose to be up
and again at the enemy at the ballot-box,
to guard and protect in peace that which
they gained in war. What soldier or sailor
will refuse to-night to meet his old associates
of the Army and Navy in council ? We
trust not one in Allegheny ;county will
prove false to his record and Ohrink from
the crisis presented by the sonic old rebel
foe he helped to vanquish. Let there be a
full and generous reponse to the call, so
that the nation may know where stand the
soldiers of our loyal community.
TWO CREDIBLE WITNESSES.
Ex-Governor PERRY and General WADE
ElAstrToN,- both of South Carolina, and
both delegates to the New York Conven
tion, on their return made their report to
their constituents. Governor PERRY, in a
letter to a_Democratie meeting at Cblumbia,
said•
"There - as no difference of opinkin on
any subject between the northern and south
ern delegates."
Of course not.. As the leaders of the De-
MOcracy north sympathised with the leaders
of the same party -south While the latter
were fighting with all their might against
the GoYernment, Why should they not fra
ternize no
• "They were united as a hand of patriots,"
says the Governor. Of course he means
just such patriots us followed the -Confeder
ate lhig—"that dear . old flag," as they still
call-it down South. Goverabr PERRY con
tinues: •
"The southern delegates determined to
be reticent in the Convention, and take no
prominent part in its proceedings; while
northern delegates said to them, 'on the sub
ject of your peculiar grierance and oppres-
SioliS, dra io your (nen plaifbrm, and make it
as,strong as you please, and we will endorse
In this,' Governor PElu v'6 testimony is
fully corroborated by that of his colleague,
WADE likmrrox, who said in his address
to the ratification meeting in Charleston:
"We [that is the rebels] were met with
extreme cordiality. They [that is the
northern democracy] said they were willing
to give us everything we-desired; but we of
the South must remember that they had a
great fight to 'make, and it would'not be policy
to place upon the platform that which would
engender prejudice at the North":"
We can use no epithet strong enough to
characterize all this. It was in effect say
ing-"We are willing to give you every
thing you 'desire; but don't tell the people
how much we are ready to do for you; for
even, in our own party there is some linger
bra- prejudice in favor of, the old flag.
Don't ask us to say that Secession and re
bellion were altogether right. You know
We think so, but it is not policy to say so.
We • must practice a little hypOcrisy; for
such are the prejudices at the North, in favor
of the .old government and flag, that the
party cannot be kept together Unless - we can
keep them deluded." HAMPTON then goes.
on with his. narrative of the fabrication of
the democratic platform:
"I said I would take the resolutions if
they would allow me to - add but three
_
words, which you will find embodied
in the platform. I added : 'And we declare
that the Reconstruction Acts are revolution
ary, unconstitutional arid void.' When I
proposed that, every member of the Com
mittee—the warmest men in it were the men
of the Northcame forward and said they
would carry it out to the end.','
There it is. Governor PERRY'S testi
mony is fully sustained. - The platform is of
rebel origin, and the firing upon Sumter
was not more revolutionary than are those
words dictated by WADEHAmrroN,and so
cordially accepted by the entire Conven
tion.
Now suppose SEYMOUR and BL AIR should
be elected, does it not inevitably tallow that
by the same - vote the country has decreed
that certain laws, solemnly enacted by Con
gress in strict accordance with the forms of
the Constitution, and under which seven
States are restored to the Union with regu
larly organized governments, are`'uncon
stitutional and void'?" Who is to carry
this decree into effect ? As to this question
We are not left in the dark, for FRANk
BLAIR, in his letter to BRODILEAD, declares
that the President elect must trample these
laws into the dust.
What then? Of course those States, when
the laws restoring them to the Union are
declared to be void and are trampled into
the dust, will be again thrown out of the
Union, their governments abolished, and a
state of absolute anarchy must necessarily
follow.. Then, indeed, as one of the South,
ern orators expressed it, " all for which
the South fought will be won." • The Union
will be dissolved and the Government
wrecked and abolished, the very end for
which the Southern Democracy fought so
desperately to accomplish. Is it the pur
pose of the Northern Democracy, after all,
,to give them the victory ? It matters not
what the voter may intend, but every vote
cast for that ticket will be all that one.man
can do to give the rebel party " everything
for which they fought."
COLONIZING COMMENCE!)
The Democrats will resort to all sorts of
fraud and villainy to secure the October
election in Pennsylvania. They are already
at work colonizing votes in doubtful dis
tricts. The Greensburg Herald, always
a reliable journal, says
It is understood here that the Democracy
have s , me ten or a dozen already in this
town, from Allegheny county, which they
propose to vote at the October election.
They are brought here and boarded at the
"Richmond House"—professedly engaged
to do some work for Democrats and their
now allies—to be kept here to vote for Fos:
ter for. Congress. Let every Republican
voter in the country keep a look out for
colonized voters, and i ote down their
names, and where they hail fr. m. Mr.
Covode can never be-kept out of Congress
by such means. It is only when the ma
jor ty of the regular, bone fide citizens of
this District pronounce in favor of Mr.
Foster, that Mr. Covode's friends will
be satisfied. If colonized voters defeat
him, a Republican Congress will rectify
such a matter in B . hort , metre. So that our
opponents may just as well 'save their
money; that won't win". We don't suggest
to them to save their reputation. No man
who now acts as or with the leaders of that
party, have any reputation for either hon
esty or patriotism. Oh, no; let us have a
square vote of. the citizens of the District,
and we will be content with the verdict;
not otherwise, and we warn you now that
no colonized votes to elect Foster will in the
end be counted.
—Since the above was in type we learn
that some fifteen or twenty Allegheny
county men, employed ,on the railroad,
have been quartered in Ludwick, to board,
and are brought there every evening by
awl:oiling the car off on the siding."
.
The opposition have conceded Allegheny
county by an overwhelming majority to the
Republicans, and are running off their votes
to localities where they can be of more ser
vice. We say to our neighbors, spot all
new-comers, and if their voting cannot be
prevented, let a record of their names be
kept for future reference and punishment.
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, IBM
LABOR AND lIS DEMOCRATIC
FRI ENDS.
Said that eminent Democrat, Tooxtus, of
Georgia, at Atlanta, the other day, in a
speech ratifying the Democratic nomina-
tions
"I will give you another fact, which is
enough for this time, that as the late war
was produced by the Democratic party in
MO, 41 we shall never have peace till it is
restored to power In 1868."
And then what ! Their hoped-for peace
means not only the re•enslavement of the
black race, but the continued degradation of
all labor, irrespective of color. The white
freemen, the working masses of the North,
should never for a moment forget the deep-.
.seated hostility of the Democratic Aristocra
cy to free labor of any kind whatever. In
18:16, in the Douse of Representatives, Mr.
PICKENS, of South Carolina, (afterwards
Governor ot that State, when, in 1.560, she
attempted t6 i seetide,) said:
There Heuer wls a soei. tv "where one class

The only e ,nrcsd in the :woad is between the
two N,ustent'."
Pickens was and is a leading Democrat.
Gov. Ham nond, another good South Caro
lina Democrat, when in Congress in 's'2
denounced Northern mechanics as "mud
sills." He too wanted slavery to be re
stored for the use of "a glorious aris-
•
tocracy."
In 186 G, Goy. McDuffle, another sweet
blossom of Democracy, declared in Congress
IlltSl
"The existence of (white) laborers and
meehanks in organized sthAeties was the
result of the partial and progressive emaii
eipati,in of slaves."
Democratic journals in the South have
systematically denounced free society a "a
monstrous abortion." Read a feW samples
of their opinion of labor, whether white or .1
black, as follows :

• Senator_ I.tsoN, of Virginia, said the
free States were really "the servile States."
The same HANtNIOND declared the only
difference between - the white and black la
borers to be that "the negro is hired for life
and- well compensated," and the "white
slave is hired by the day, not cared for, and
scantily compensated." KEITH, of the
same State, declared "free society a fail
ure." And this elegant gentleman, a dis- -
finguished Democrat like all the others
whom we have named, also said:
"The ordinance of God,'! be 'said, con
demns mankind - to labor, and certain men
ial occupations are incompatible 4it : ll men
tal cultivation. Slavery produces a supe
rior class of gentlemen, who are substitutes
for an order of nobility:"
RuFFIN, of Virginia, that god Democrat
who fired the first gun at Sumpter, in his
book on the "Political Economy of Sla
very," proposed to reform "the hireling
labor" of -the North. Another Southern
Democratic author, FITZHUGH, thought a
white slave would be worth about $2OO
more than a black one. Uis Democracy
was crystallized in his favorite maxim,
"Liberty for the few—slavery in every limn
for the masses." ,
And all these champions of Aristocratic
Rights were Democrats high in the party,
and equally prominent as leaders in that
rebellion which fought for a new Confed
eracy with Human Slavery, us STEPIII6
said, for its corner-stone.
How long will free white men, the hard
working masses of the North, continue
blindly to follow such leadars and vote with
a party which uses all its specious pretexts,
in the name of Democracy, to abridge the
civil rights and to degrade the natural honor
of Free Labor? To these sweet-scented, soft
handed magnates of the rebel Democracy,
it makes no difference whether the "mud
sill" be white or black; he works for his
living, his condition is properly "servile,"
and he is "unfit for self-government."
We wish that every intelligent working
man in the North could read these quota
tions as we have literally given them. And
then how long would he continue to support
such shameless revilers of Honest Poverty,
in their present efforts to revive ilayery
again ?.
TEE SOUTH CAROLINA FREEDMEN have
the manhood, when threatened with
proscriptive starvation, and every violent
outrage, to declare boldly to their would
be masters, that "they will not sur
render the ballot for any consideration
whatever; that, if they are to be massacred
because they refuse to vote thii Democratic
ticket, they can die but once, and let it
come." We observe that our neighbors of
the Pittsburgh Chronicle regard this dec
laration as needless, "menacing" and "ex
asperating" ! It is only- a few days since
that.our neighbors presented the situation
of affairs in Tennessee as on the • whole
highly satisfactory to loyal citizens of each
race. It is evident that the struggle which
has begun throughout the South, involving
all the rights of the freedmen; and even the
lives of the white friends of the Union,
does not yet secure the Chronicle's sym•
iathies. -
DEROCRACY IN THE SOUTH.
Terrible State of Affairs—Society Coutrol
led by' Robbers and Assassins--Bloody
Electioneering for Seymour and Blair,
The committee having in charge the in
vestigation of the rebel
completed their labors
and submitted their repori to the General
Assembly of tnat State. It is a document
so full of horrors as to make one's blood
run cold. We have room but for the sum
ming up of the investigation, which is all
anyone will care to read. The Committee
'says:
,----
The number of outrages which have been
perpetrated in many con ties of Middle and
West Tenness.ee,during to past fewinouths,
have been so numerous, and of such an ag
gravated character, as almost bates investi
gation. In these counties a reign of terror
exists, which is so absolute in its nature,
that the best of citizens
ti tre unable or un—
willing to give ,free expression to their
opinions. The terror inspired - by the secret
organization known as the Ku-Klux-Klan
is so great that the officers of the law are
are powerless to execute its provisions, to
discharge their duties, or to bring-the guilty
perpetrators of these outrages to the punish
ment they deserve- Their stealthy move
ments are generally made under cover of
the night, and under Masks or disguises
which render identification difficult it' not
impossible.
. .
Added to the secrecy -which envelops
their operationS, - is the fact that no informa
tion of their murderous acts can be obtained
without the greatest difficulty and *danger
bathe localities where they are committed.
No -one dares to inform upon-them or to
take any measures to bring them to punish
ment, because no such one can tell but he
may be the next victim of their animosity.
The members of this organization, with
their friends, eiders and abettors, take espe
cial pains to conceal their operations.
' The moving principle by which they are
actuated appears to be hostility to the State
and national authorities, and in the minds
of these men to have voted for "Brown
low" of the "Republican ticket," or to be
a "Radical," is the greatest of crimes.
Your committee believe that during the
past six months the murders' in Tennessee,
to say nothing of other outrages, would
average one per day, or one for every twen
ty-four hoUrs; that in the great majority of
cases they have been perpetrated by the
Klan referred to, and few, if any, have been
brought to punishment. A number of coun
ties in the State are entirely at the mercy of
this organization, and roving bands of
nightly marauders bid defiance to the civil
authorities, and threaten to drive out every
man, white or black, who does not submit
to their arbitrary dictation.
To add to the general lawlessness of these
communities, bad Men of every description
take advantage of the circumstances sur
rounding them, and perpetrate acts of vio—
lence, from personal or pecuniary motives,
under the plea of political necessity.
Coffired laborers have been driven from
their homes by dishonest land owners, in
order to deprive them of their share of the
crops they cultivated and the wages they
have justly earned by their labor. Other
outrages of similar,character are daily bom
niitted, and the officers of the law are un
able or unwilling to prevent or redress
them. Your committee are convinced ifrom
the evidence before them, that a res rt to
some measures that will Correct evi s of
fi
such enormity is an imperative nece city.
The testimony they have taken is but a
small part of the evidence which mig it be
laid before your honorable body, :showing
the ab,olute necessity w hich exists for elzis.
lative action for the prevention and \ pi nish
ment of acts of violence, for the prfti et ion
of life and property, and for the die r xecu
thin of the laws. A large number jot cases
brought to the attention of 3 our cOmmitted
have been passed over unnoticed; because
time and space would not permit thelir in
vestigation. But they are satisfied that no
further evidence is necessary to convince
every thoughtful mind that more titan or
dinary measures are requisite, under exist
ing circumstances, to secure peace and pro
tection to persons and property.
The object sought to be obtained by the
establishment of government is the peace
of society. Individuals surrender a portion
of their liberty and submit to the restraints
of legal enactments for the general good of
all concerned. Laws are made for the pro
tection as well as the punishment of crime.
If civil law and civil authority are - not
sufficient for the accomplishment of the pur
pose intended, military force must be called
to their assistance. The first and highest
duty of every government is to protect its
citizens in the enjoyment of their persons.
and their property, without regard to their
individual or, political opinions. It' civil
law is set at defiance and its agents over
powered or intimidated by evil doers, it be-
Comes the imperative- duty of the Govern
ment to call to its assistance the strong arm
of military power. Citizens have a right
to appeal for protection to the government
under,which they live, and that government
which refuses to listen to their appeals or to
afford them that protection to which they
are entitled is unworthy of the name, and
forfeits the confidence of men of all shades
of political opinion. It' the ordinary means
of enforcing the laws !ire insufficient, it be
comes the duty of the Government' to adopt
such measures as may be necessary to ac
complish Mat object, no matter how severe
those measures may be.
Your committee believes that the Governor
should be invested with full power to call
out military force as may be. required
to secure obedience to the laws - '
and if the
calling out of such a force shalbenecessary,
the responsibility will rest upon those who
violate the laws and refuse bedience to the
constituted authorities of t 0 State. It is
the sworn duty of the (love nor to see that
the laws are faithfullyexect ed, and for that
purpose ample means sit Id be placed at
his disposal. Much as we may regret that
any necessity should exist for calling in the
aid of a military force, yet when all other
means fail to secure the end, aim and object
of all good government, we have then no
cholte left us in the matter.
We, therefore, recommend the passage of
the bill which has already been reported by
your committee. WILLIAM .J. SMITIL
. Chairman of the Senate Committee. -
Witxxem F. Pnossun.
Chairman of the 'Loupe Committee.
Tennessee
Georgia
The following letter from the chairman of
the Republican State Executive Committee
of Georgia explains itself. It will be noted
that many of the predictions made ia it have
already been fulfilled. It was written pre.
viousito the expulsion of the colored mem
bers by the Legislature:
The Democrats have inaugurated a new
revolution in this State. They intend to
overthrow the State government. The first
step has been taken, or rather commenced.
We have good evidence that they intend to
expel the colored members of the House,
and then expel the colored members of the
Senate, and seat Democrats in their places.
They will then have two-thirds of the House;
but.' if they should no. have, white Republi.
cane enough will be expelled to give them
two-thirds. They will iffthe same way get
control of the Senate. A bill will then be
passed to take the State railroads from the
control of the governmentand give it to the
General Assembly. The patronage of the
State roads is immense, and with it in their
hands they expect to control the Assembly.
They then intend to impeach the Governor
and remove him; after that, God only knows
what they will do.
After appealing to Congress to prevent
the expulsion of the colored members, the
letter continues ;
Our voters will have no protection at the
polls, and there is• great danger ot blood
-shed, but I do not know that Congress can
10 anything for us. We are not in as-good .
condition as other Southern - States, for they
have Republican Legislatures, but the Dem
ocrats control ours. They can pass laws to
protect voters, but we cannot. We have
reliable information that the Democrats are
arming in every part of the State, and eve
rything is being done that can be to prevent
the colored men from arming. Unless Con
gress does something for us, God only
knows the result in many parts of the State.
Our party is composed almost entirely of
colored men. If the whites attempt to in
terfere with them at the polls, and there is
every reason to believe that they. will,
bloodshed will follow. Can Congress do
anything for us? Our General Assembly
will do nothing to preserve peace; will Con
gress do it ?
Kentucky.
The outrages of the Ku-Klux-Klan in
Kentucky are exciting the utmost alarm in
all classes of society.
On Saturday night, they entered the house
of Glasgow Williams, formerly a Union
soldier in Franklin county, and shot him
dead, spattering his brains over his wife,
who was pleading for his life.
The night previous, they burned a large
mill and woolen factory belonging to a com
munity of Shakers at South' Union. The
'Shakers who were opposed to the rebellion
have been the objects of the most merciless
rebel persecution ever since the close of the
war. Their houses have been burnt, their
animals poisoned, their fences torn down,
and their crops destroyed. ' Their loss by
the recent fire is over two hundred thou
sand dollars
Last night a negro, in Logan county, who
had been in the Federal army, was taken
from his cabin, and this morning his dead
body was found hanging on a neighboring
tree. _
Not a night passes but what some out
rage is committed against the Union men.
It has been proclaimed, time and again, by
the Ku-Klux-Klan, that no man who was in
the Federal army can lire in this part of
Kentucky, and that determination is being
carried into effect.

The following is an extract from a letter
dated Little Rock, Arkansas, September 1:
"Murder, riot aml intimidation are boldly
advocated and practiced in many portions
of the State, fully equal to the terrorism of
1561. It is not political excitement; it is a
hellish rebellion, in its worst form. The
Democrats have their secret Ku Klux or
ganizations in every town, and are making
every possible effort to arm their men thor
oughly. We have every reason to believe
that a large proportion of them' are already
well armed. In many localities they parade
the streets in masks, and deliver volleys into
the houses of Union men. They order
them from their houses with the injunction
that if they return they will pay the penalty
with their-lives, for they arc determined no
Radical shall live in Arkansas. They are
rife for a rebellion that would be far more
terrible in its consequences than the war
we have just passed through, for they talk
and Mean extermination. The match is
already lighted, and mar be applied at any
t•-•
time.'' •

Better late than never Is a consolatmv_ proverb,

bilious preparations known it is the most effective

CHRONIC VISEA9E9 OF Turf. EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KEYSER,
of this city, on the various diseases of the car, he
says that nine'out of ten cases could be cured in
their Incipiency if spy.' icatiou were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a well
Anown aural surgeon, who says: "I feat not to re
iterate the asuertion which I made on several for
mer occasions; that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or undmitood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended to as these of
the eye, it would be found that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness is so common and so distressing an in
firmity, and when of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
tioners to make themse:ves familiar with the treat
meneof the diseases of the ear. ,
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis
charges, Buzaings and Morbid Growths peculiar to
the organ of the hearing, some of which bad lin
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
