We invite the considerate ittter.tion of
our readers to the report of Major Gen.
Gordon Granger on our second page.
Vc bclicvc-he presouls the truth. It
is doubtless true there are outrages com.
mittcd by men of little character, and
these form the basis of the stoek in
trade of the radical newspapers who
publish them fiuished and colored to
suit tueir purposes, under displayed
heads as "Horrible Atrocities." I5ut
nt the few and far between unpreju
diced brutalities are exponents of the
Fcntinieut of the Southern people, or
that they afford a sufficient reason for
disfranchising the whole of the southern
people is as untrue and as unreasonable
tis anything can be. Gen. Granger
goes over the whole question so candidly
that every' reasonable man will rise from
the perusal of his report satisfied of its
correctness.
Let Him Try Ir.
Gen. Geary, in a speech at Erie the
other day, said that " if wo (the Radi
cals) fail at the ballot-lox, we can resort
to the bullet."
We don't think it would bo healthy
fu Mr. Geary and his party to try this,
for it is a well attested fact that four
fifths of the returned soldiers iu this
State are supporters of President John
son, and opposed to the principles on
which this insulting poltroon hasspiead
his platform, lie will find that there
will be two parties who can play at that
game. M.

The Jlerjl remarks, "for ourselves we
have only to say this week, that it is our

The demoralization of the Radicals in
Huntingdon county is further apparent
by the Herala't account of the meeting
of that party on the 8th inst. That

Condition of tho South.
Important Report by Major-General Cordon
Granger. Tho Southern People Everywhere
Loyal to the Government
To His Excellency, Andrew Johnson,
Presided! of the United States :
Sir : In obedience to instructions,
dated May 9th, 18G0, directing roe,
while carrying out a specific mission,
examine carefully into tho disposition of
the people of the Southern States thro'
which I might pass, toward the United
States," I havo tho honor to report :
That in all the States I visited I
found no sign or symptom of organized
disloyalty to the general government.
I found tho people taking our currency,
and glad to get it : anxious for North
ern capital and Notthcrn labor to devel
op tho resouvcts of their wasted coun
try, and well-disposed toward every
Northern man who came among them
with that object in view.
In some localities I heard rumors of
secret organizations, pointing to a re
newal of the rebellion. On investigat
ing these secret societies I could discov
er in them nothingmoro than charitable
institutions, having for their principal
object the relief of tho confederate sol
diers who had fallen in the war.
During the whole of my travels I
found it to be as safe and as convenient
to mingle with tho peoplo of tho South,
freely discussing any and every topic
that came up, as in other sections of the
United States. I was often among
them unknown, and the tenor of their
acts and conversation was then the same
as when my name and official position
were thoroughly understood.
The people of the South may be di
vided into two classes. There is the
ndustrious class, laboring earnestly to
build up what has been broken down,
striving to restore property to the coun
try, and interested mainly in the great
question of providing food and clothing
for themselves aud families. These
form the great majority of the people.
Then there is another class, an utterly
irresponsible class, composed mainly of
young men who were tne " ducks oi
Southern society before the war, and
chiefly spent their time in lounging
round the court-rooms and bars, in
chicken-fighting and gambling, Theso
have been greatly broken up by the
war; many of them have been killed,
but those who remain are still disturb
ing elements in the community, and are
doing much mischief. It is this class
of men and a number of the poorer
whites who havo formed gangs for
horse stealing. It is they who, in some
instance, have made attacks on officers
of the Freedmen's Bureau, and have
ill.trcatcd the frcedmen. It is they
who afford the main pretext for saying
that there is among the peoplo of the
South a hostility towards the United
States government. But they are not
the representatives of the Southern peo
ple. They form but an insignificant
minority in tho community, and even
they are actuated not so much by a feel
ing of opposition to the government as
by a reluctance to cam their own liveli
hood by honest labor and individual ex
ertion.
That cases of authentic outrage have
occurred in the South is patent to every
ono familiar with the current news of
the day. But these cases are few and
far between, and it is both unjust and
ungenerous to charge the responsibility
for such acts upon the whole Southern
people. For somo malicious purpose,
accounts of these isolated disorders have
been collected and grouped together,
and sown broadcast over tho North, so
as to give to the public mind an utterly
erroneous impression as to the condition
of Southern society. The fact is, that
wherever 'disaffection and turbulence
have manifested themselves outside the
class to whom I have above alluded,
thero has been somo local or specific
cause to account for it. Lawlessness,
like an epidemic, is equally traceable to
some initiatory cause. Chiet among
these causes must be named bad govern
mcnt, pillage, and oppression.
For five years tho Southern people
have been the subjects of gross misrule
During the war their government was a
military despotism, dependent solely on
the dictum of an individual. Since the
war they have been left more or less in
a chaotio state their government semi
civil, semi-military, or rather a division
ot rule between the military, the Freed
men's Bureau, and the provisional gov
ernments. What might have been the
result of a different policy is not alto
gether idle to speculate. Every milita.
ry man who served in the South during
the war will agree that the heart of the
great mass of the people was not thor.
oughiy in the struggle. The number
of desertions from the rebel armies
abundantly established this fact. Had
a policy ol wise and statesmanlike ron
ciliation been followed out immediately
after the close of the war it 1b more than
probable that the condition and disposi.
tion of the peoplo would now bo far bet
ter than they are. But on the subjuga.
tion of the South the national authority
n the lately rebellious States was divid
ed and broken up into opposing factions,
whose action greatly hindered the re-
establishment of civil law and good or.
der so much needed among a peoplo de
moralized by the most demoralizing of
all agencies civil war. The country
wns flooded with Treasury agents who,
with their accomplices and imitators,
fleeced the people right and left, return,
ing into the United States Treasury for
all the enormous amount ot property
they seized and confiscated, barely cn.
ough to pay the coit of confiscation.
Agents of the Freedmen's Bureau step
ped between the planter and tho hborcr,
stirring up strife, perpetuating antagon
ism and often adding their quota of ex.
tortion and oppression. Ou every hand
the people saw themselves robbed and
wrouged by agents and self-appointed
agents professing to aot undor the sane,
tion of the United States government
Need it be wonderod at, that among a
community thus dealt with, powerless
to resist, and too weak and prostrated
for successful complaint, some bitter
ness and ill-feeling should arise ? None
but a brave and well-meaning people
could have endured unresistingly all
that tho South has undergone.
In prosecuting this inquiry I hardly
deemed it fair to ask more than what
had been the actions of the people of
the South toward the general govern.
mcnt. With their private opinions,
their sympathies, and their prejudices I
had nothing to do. Yet for a more
thorough understanding of the question
I made it a part of my mission to inves
tigate even these. I found they had
universally complied with the condi
tions granted and accepted at the final
surrender of their armies and cause.
I found that they were carrying out with
good faith and alacrity the requirements
of the constitutional amendment abol
ishing slavery, and thai in all the States
except Mississippi and Texas, the
famous Civil Rights Bill has been an.
ticipated by tho action of the State
Legislatures previous to its passage by
Congress. Further than this, I found
that in the repudiation of every dollar
known as the confederate debt, the same
prompt action had been taken by the
State authorities, and hid been univer
sally endorsed by the peoplo ; and I
neither saw nor heard any disposition,
or anything that pointed toward a dis.
position to repudiate tho national debt
or to revive the institution of slavory.
But whilst tho Southern people are
thus loyal, and have fulfilled all the re.
quirements asked of them by tho Fed
eral government, it is impossible to dis.
guise the fact, and the better class of
citizens do not attempt to disguise it,
that there is among them a deep feeling
and a strong apprehension as to the
cause of their long-continued exclusion
from Congress. They bclicvo that it is
a part of a set plan for perpetuating tho
existence of the political party now in
the ascendant, and that the question of
suffrage, readjustment of representation
and taxation are but excuses for still
longer delay. Thus regardless of tho
great interests, not only of the suffering
South, but of the wholo country, bur
dened with debt and laboring under so.
vere embarrassment, I found tho pre.
vailing opinion among the most anxious
for an early restoration of tho Union, to
be that, if representation and an cqua!
and just co.operation in the admioistru
tion of federal affairs were much longer
withheld from the Southern States, a
feeling of indifference would spring up
towards taking any part in filling fed
eral offices, and more particularly
towtrds refilling their seats in Congress
that the people, in fact, would stay away
from tho polls and allow the elections to
go by default, to the great detriment of
the country at large. This feeling of
indifference indeed is already manitest-
ing itself, and is rapidly increasing, so
much so that were it not for a few per
sons in each Southern State who have
fouud it necessary for their existence to
live upon and hold office, and whose
haunts and occupations have hitherto
been at the federal capital, I do not be.
lieve that any clamor for representation
would be heard.
What is needed to restore harmony
and prosperity to the entire country
both North and South, is closer and bet
ter acquaintance with each other,
have been astonished to notice how little
people, even those whose social relations
are all Southern, know of the true state
of feeling in that section of tho coun
try. We need greater political, social,
and commercial freedom, more frequent
intercourse, and a kiuder appreciation
o; eacnoiucrs peculiarities. The ad
vantages to the country in its present
financial stress of a reunion of heart and
sentiment would be beyond enumeration.
The broad lands of the fertile South arc
now lying almost in waste for want of
means and capital to cultivate them ;
when every acre of beneficent soil might
be a gold mine io the possessor were the
political relations of the peoplo better
understood and acted upon. I havo the
honor to bo your most obedient eervant.
GORDON GRANGER.
Brevet Major Gen. U. S. Army.
Their Doom is Sealed.
There is evidently great trepidation
in the Radical ranks all over the coun
try. They begin to sco tho handwriting
on the wall hence the insane appeals
of their press, not only here in Penn.
sylvania, but throughout tho entire
North. The National Union Conven.
tion is a great source of trouble, nnd
they are resorting to all possible means
to counteract the happy effect it has al
ready had on tho publio mind. And,
as if to verify the truth of tho old ad
age, that " misfortunes never como sing
ly,'' they are now perplexed beyond
measures at the call made by a large
number of tho army officers the Jight
ing generals of tho waa for a Soldiers'
Convention to bo held at Cleveland on
the 17th of September, to sustain Pres
ident Johnson in his patriotso efibrss for
A restoration of the Union. They also

ed, and that thousands and tens of thou-
sands of conservative Republicans arc
joining heart ana nana with them to
crush out of existence the Radical fac
tion which has driven the Nation to the
veiy verge of bankruptcy, anarchy and
destruction.
All this is so apparent that Greeley
mourns over the gloomy prospect for
his party. Forney raves like a bedlam,
ite, and is ready to call upon the nioun.
tains to fall upon and hide him from the
stern gaze of an insulted and betrayed
people. The beast, Butler, froths and
foams at the thought of the fearful ret
ribution which awaits him, and Stevens,
in his wrath and malignity, vents his
spleen on the foreign population who
cannot be induced to Bwallow tho negro.
In the meantime, the conservative ele
ment of the couutty is hourly gaining
stsength and efficiency, and by tho
time the election arrives, its force and
momentum will be irresistible, and the
halls of Congress will bo purged of the
traitors and disuuionists who have for
so long a time been permitted to lord
and tyrannize over this goodly heritage
of our fathers.
Their doom is scaled. Bol&hazzar.
like, the leaders of tho radical party are
trembling with fear. Their cohorts are
becoming more and more demoralized.
Tho light of truth is breaking in upon
the country, and dispelling tho dark
clouds of error ind superstition. The
people are aroused to a sense of their
danger, and they aro determined that
the Union and the Constitution shall bo
preserved, nnd that the cucmics of both
shall bo put down. It is the conscious,
n oss of all this that has struck terror in
to tho Radical camp, and caused the
trepidation and alarm which is apparcut
iu all tho writiugs and speeches of dis.
union leaders.
Courage, Democrat, wo havo the
vantage ground ; the day ia our own.
The country will be redeemed, regener
ated and disenthralled from the foul ty
ranny which has paralyzed its energies
aud wasted its substance for the last five
or six years Lancaster Intelligencer.

shouting and cheering, and when tho
Hon. Hiester Clymer oppcarco on the
plutform of tho car, tho applause was
tremendous. The meeting was organized
about 8 P. M. Col. Noyes of Clinton
country presiding. Hon. Hiester Cly.
mcr spoke for an hour and a half, hand
ling in his own uncqualed stylo, tho
important questions which arc presented
to us now, and disposing of tho malic,
ious falsehoods which have been incul
cated against him. Tho enthusiasm at
this meeting was truly remarkable, men
and women repeatedly cheering tho dis
tinguished gentleman who addressed
them- Rcnovo will give a good account
of herself on the second Tuesday of
October. After tho meeting tho St.
