KOSSUTH.

Kossuth's pilgrimage through the United States
is nearly completed. His last public appearance
was at Jersey City, and we presume that by this
time he has reached New York, the point from
which he originally set out on his Intervention
crusade. We believe that it is his purpose to
visit some of the New England States and when
he shall have done so his mission, so far this
country is concerned, will have been accomplished.
His Jersey City speech is eloquent and touching,
but Responding and somewhat querulous in its
tone. He complains heavily of the alleged calum-
MES and insults of the press, and expresses his
sorrow that it was in America he had to learn
thai there are more orturing sacrifices in the life
of patriot than the pang of being an exile
The states that he has delivered upwards of 400
public speeches since his arrival in this country,
and spared neither mind nor body in pleading the
cause of Hungary.
We are not informed whether the distinguish
ed Magyar has succeeded in enlisting any consd-
cradle amount of material aid" to promote the
cause of his country's independence, but we sus-
pect that his efforts in this behalf have failed not

the cast, lost OF it strength since the Pres-
dentiol election of 1913; OH the contrary. we
firmly believe that it is stronger now than it was
then, and that with acceptable candidate for
the Presidency, the Wing cause will triumph
South ofthe Potomac in 1852, even more signal
~ thanlt did in 1913. The States of Mary land,
North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana and Florida voted the Wing ticket mt
the last election, casting in the aggregate sixty
SIX eector al votes. Now we would enquire of
Northern Wings whether they can afford to spare
these sixty-six votes! Can they permit them to
be cast for the Democratic candidate, and still
elect Wing President! We presume there is
not a man to be found in the free States, stupid
enough to believe in such an absurdity and we
trust therefore, that the Wings of that section
when they go into tho National Convention, will
see ane appreciate the necessity of SO shaping
their action as to conciliate the good feeling and
satisfy the just requirements of their Southern
brethren. By no other means can the nationality
OF the Wing party be preserved Or its success in
the next Presidential election rendered even pro-
bable

the proposition of the Committee for Courts oil
Justice, which was to locate the Court for the
Eighth District at Washington G.. II. Mr.. Grcayer
moved to amend by striking out, and inserting
''Smyth @. H." Mr. G. asked that petition
OF the citizens of the county of Smyth, asking
that the District Court may be located at Smyth

MIR. Parks urged Smyth G. H., on the House.

convenient to reach it than any other place in the

Mr.. Preston moved to divide the question, and
made an explanation of his motion.
On this motion, some discussion ensued be-
tween Messrs. Dunn, Boyd, Preston, Yerby
Tomlin, and Rives of A.
After which, the motion to divide was carried
in the affirmative
Messrs Preston and Boyd urged the claims of
Wythe Courthouse, and Mr. Dunn, Washington
Court House.
The question was then taken on the several
propositions, and the Court House in the town of
Abingdon, in the county of Washington, was re-
solved on as the location of the Court for the Sth
Judicial District
On motion of Mr.. Rives of A., the bill and
amendments were laid on the table, and the bill
providing for the election of County Officers was
taken up, which had come back from the Senate
with certain amendments to the House amend

The bill received the concurrence of the House
as amended by the Senate, and has finally passed

On motion, the House adjourned.

less signally than his more ambitious attempts c
induce our national government to depart from It's
traditional and time -honored policy in respect to
its foreign relations.
His rapid perigrinations ard his four hundred
speeches have involved great expenditure oftime,
talent and energy, without being followed by any
important results. Mised by the thoughtless en-
thusiasm of the population of our great cities
Kossuth has, for many months, been pursuing a
phantom that could only have captivated the ina
gination of speculative dreamer and visionary,
and never misguided the judgment of practical
statesman and political philosopher.
The idea that the government and people OF
this country could be prevailed upon ut the insti
CATION OF stranger to our institutions to abandon
the foreign policy SO earnestly inculcated by the
founders of our political system, and SO steadily
and earnestly adhered to by them and their
successors in the administration of public affairs,
was absurd enough. But it was still more prepos-
| terous and argued profound ignorance of the
character and genius of the American people, to
suppose that they would be willing to lend mate
rial aid to enterprise SO utterly desperate as
the re-estabishment of Hungarian independence.
Ii Hungary lay upon our borders, then, indeed,
the case would have appealed strongly to the land
stealing propensties of the Anglo Saxon race, and
Nj. kossuth would doubtless have succeeded in
raising any amount Of men and money for the
prosecution of his cherished scheme The de-
sire of extending the area of freedom on our con-
tinent, and the prospect of annexng new ter
ritory to our ocean-bound Republic, mingins
with our sympathies for the oppressed and down
trodden Magyars, won Id have been too strong tc
be resisted. But an intervening ocean 5000 miles
wide alters the case very materially. The Ameri-
cans are sanguine people, bold, daring, and full
of youthful energy and hopefulness, but this Hun
garan enterprise is rather too desperate to nfame
their yalor or tempt their cupidity. They viii
not risk their money and their lives for the rege-
neration ola people, alien to them in language,
institutions and race, without the slightest pros
pect ofbeneft to themselves. They are not pre-
pared to go 5000 miles in search off fray with the
banded forces of the Russian and Austrian En-
pires; fray from which there would be no posi-
Bile means of retreat in case of disaster and where
substantial rewards are to be won than
the simple laurels ofvictory.

1t will thus be seen that in the last election the
Southern States gave majority of IL electoral
votes for Taylor and Fillmore. They also gave
decided popular majority for the same ticket
And yet certain designing and INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians ofthe Northern Wing party affect to re-
gard the Wing party of the South as a powerless
minority, of whom nothing is to be expected in
the next Presidential campaign. This cry has
been arfully re-echoed by the locofoco presses of
the South. They, too, untirng in their efforts
to make it appear that the Southern Wing party
is an insignificant fragment, appendage of
the Wing party of the Union They tell us eve
ny day that the Wing candidate will be exclusive
" dependent upon the free States for support;
that he can expect no aid and comfort in the
South, the Wings being in paltry minority in
this section. This, however, is precisely what
these organs declared in the canvass of l64S, and
as in spite of their boastu predictions, locofoco-
ism was soundly drubbed in the South ON that oc-
cason, we do not despairof similar result in the
coming election.

The Whig Partu of the South


1t has become fashionable with certain Whig
papers of the North to speak in dispaaging terms
of the strength of the Southern Wing party. The
inevitable inference, from the train of remark in
which they habtually indulge is that the Wings
ofthe South constitute small and feeble minority
ofthe Southern people, and a very inconsidera-
BILE fraction of the great Wing party ofthe Union;
that they contribute but little towards the cleo
ton OF Wing candidate for the Presidency, and
therefore have rightto require that their wish
es shall be seriously consulted in the choice of a
nominee. These appear to be the sentiments,
not we would remark, of the Northern Whig
press generally, but of few journals and letter
writers in that region. Now it is of the utmost
Importance that the Northern Wings should not
permit themselves to be misled by such repre-
sensations. We can tell them that if they think
they can elect Wing President without the aid
ofthe Southern Wing party, or without paying all
proper Difference to their views in regard to the
selection of a candidate, they cherish perilous
delusion The election of the Wing candidate
by Northern votes alone is a flat impossible
ty, and the inevitable result of uncompromising
and unconciliatory course the part of the Wings
of the free States towards the Wings of the
South will be the disastrous defeat of the Wing
cause in the approaching Presidential canvass
The success of that cause is as completely depen-
dent upon Southern as upon Northern support,
and it is to be hoped that the Wing party of the
free States will bearthis fac distinctly in mind.
In this connexion we would invite their atten-
ton to the following classification of the electoral
vote in the Presidential election of 1913:

Serious Accident,

Our village (says the anderson Southern
Rights Advocate) was thrown into con-
sternation on the morni, G of wednesday,
the Goth ult, by the upsetting and COM
plete wreck Of a carriage, in which were
a party of ladies, consisting of an elderly
lady, Mrs. Mary Mantz, Miss Kate P.
Hobbs, and Miss Eugenia Lanham, all of
Edgefeld, and Miss Lizzie PinnelI, of
Greenville. The horses became frightened
at some object opposite the residence of
Mr.. Joel Towers, and dashed off at a
rapid speed. The noseband became de-
tached from the tongue Of the carriage,
and having no means of holding back, the
horses were compelled to run to keep out
of the way, there being gentle declivity
in the street. The driver jumped off, and
the horses being permitted to 60 at pleas
urc, on turning the street near the old
livery stable, feD into gulley and remain
ed stationary.
The carriage was capsized and COM
pletely demolished-torn all to pieces.
Miss Lanham was uninjured. Mrs Mantz
and Miss Pinncll were badly hurt, but
are now in fair way of recovery. Miss
Hobbs was slightly injured, but is how up
and able to attend school.

to prove dangerous to strangers, and we

not been SO healthy for many years-and
its general health is almost proverbial-as
it is the present season. There is little or
no fever, and the deaths which have oc-
