The WAR OF SLANDER.-Radical dem-
agogues find the calmness of the South
under their attempted excavations OK
tremely provoking The people there
do. not show any venum They manifest
no resistance. The prevailing spirit is
best indicated by n single sentence from
a leading editorial in the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle ann Sentinel, in which the
writer says: 'If the Radicals shall de-
termine to impose now and still more
degrading terms upon us, we shall sub
NIT with the best grace we can A
Memphis editor says: "lf in Gods
mercy we arc to be eXterminated, we
shall try and submit to our fate with
becoming fortitude.' The fierce Ian
guago of retaliation, would be far moro
acceptable to those who fill tho newspa-
pers with accounts of fictitious outrages
and threaten the imaginary perpetrators
with determination. Referring to tho
erroneous impressions sought to be
propagated through the Northern press,
the Macon (Ga.J journal and Messenger
says: "If there were any possible way
by which We could purchase freedom
from such victimizatiOn at any cost short
of absolute dishonOr and ruin, no price
would be to great too pay for it," 1t is
gsGstaVata for, - tbs. country that any
contests TO tempt still further the dis.
play of vindictive feeling, other North
or South, or to encourage spirit of
slander and defamation, especially to-
ward those who are vanquished. In
reference to public interests the effect
must be extremely preiudicial, for with
ont reconciliation there can be no union.
This the Radicals we'll know, and their
courso suggests ut least suspicion that
union is exactly what they do not want.

IheI.ass of the Rveuiug star

one of the most fri ghtful marine ca
lsmities that has occurred for many
wears was the loss of the steamship
Evening Star, which foundered about
sixty miles from the South Carolina
coast, on her passage from New York to
New Orleans. Bat few particulars OF
the disaster have reached US:
The Evening Star left New York on
the 29th ult., with two hundred and fifty
Messengers, and crew of fifty men.
Among the former were Gen. Palfrey,
wife and sister. There were also on
board, Spalding's circus company, a
French opera troupe, numbering fifty
pc rsoBs, aud, lastly, eighty seven public
women, who were being taken to New
Orleaus'by the keepers of some OF the
houses of i'll repute in that city.
OF all on board, only seventeen, most
II members of the crew, are known to
have escaped. The i'll tated steamer
fouudered in the great storm, from which
many other vessels suffered, and the sea
was SO roueh that some of those who had
succeeded in getting into the boat were
washed overheard, and perished
The descriptions which we have OF the
recent gale indicate that it was of great
severity and very wide spread. Accounts
of several wrecks have reached us, and
we may perhaps hear sf still other re-
suits of its fury.

A CANDID RADICAL-Hon. HORACE
MAYNARD, of Tennessee, was imported
to West Virginia by the Radicals last
spring, to stump the State in support OF
the Constitutional Amendment. He
was their chosen representative, selected
by themselves, and they cordially en-
dorsed the soundness of his political
views. Having been set mp by them
selves as the exponent of the Radical
sentiment, we are justified in adducing
his expressed opinions as evidence Of the
views which they entertain. In q speech
made at Athens, Tennessee, within the
last few weeks, Mr.: MAYNARD said;
II am an Abolitionist, and have al
ways been ono. / was accused of being
one when first emigrated to this State.
The charge was just; l was full and
running over with Abolitionism, but l
denied 1t for policy sake. 1 am proud
to-day that | have been classed among

highest compliment to be denounced as
such. And tell you, gentlemen, that
in a short time all this complaint about
negro equality will be done away with.
Some months since and it was said that
the negro would not be suffered to tes'
tify in courts-that his oath would not
be granted him. But how stand mat.
ters to day? He is not only permitted
to testify in your conrts with impunity,

The arrival es the trains brought a

1t is estimated that the attendance
numbered some two thousand people.
Much credit is due to the managers for
their patience and energy in carrying
out the programme to the very letter.

of the first heat, time 3:1t. We will
here state thai Pretty Boy trotted under
the protest that hs had trottea in better
time than $50.
The next exhibition was of thorough
bred stations, which gave rise to very
exciting running match between one
horse entered by j. L. Burley and an.
ether entered 10y William Estep. These
were the ouly horses entered, but Mr..
Burley's hOiss gavs evidence of superi,

by the horse jim Whipley, entered by
Mr.. Dobell, the driver of Dexter; time,

Washington special has the following:
Mr.. LoWenthal reported himself yester-
day-morning to the different depart
ments soliciting arrest. The Paymaster
General and other accounting offers
informed him that they knew of nothing
warranting his arrest. Lowenthal then
proceeded to the criminal court room'
but the District Attorney was unwilling
to arrest him. He afterward applied to
the Chief Of Pelice, but he also refused
to act, and only upon the earnest solic-
itations of Lowenthal admitted him to
bail, on his own recognition, to answer
any charges which may he brought
against him.
The following opinion has been given
by the Attorney General and forwarded
to the Secretary of War:
IL am of the opinion that you have no
legal authority to exclude authorized
attorneys and agents from collecting
bounties, and that, in the presentation
and payment of claims, the claimant
may act by the attorney"
Some sensation has been produced by
rumor that defalcatiOn has occurred

TIE RIGHT TO WIFI CHILD TO
DEATH FOR NOT SAYING ITs PRAYERS
The Ofleans Circuit was in session last

murderer, was presented to tho Grand
Jury, and an indictment for manslaugh-
ter was returned. Lindsey was ar
raigned, and pleaded to the Indictment
not guilty 1t is said that he declares
that he was fully justified in what he
did. In other words, that he had
right to whip his child to death to com
pei its obedience to any command that
he gave. That question is to he decided
in court when the case comes to trial.
The same judicial favor that has attend
ed Lindsey all the way through, en-
abled him to get his trial put over to the
January Circuit. 1t will be said that
this was but in accordance with custom,
that criminal shOuld not be tried at
the same time when he is indicted.
Lindsey and his counsel had a right to
anticipate an indictment, and have had
months to prepare for trial. The adyan-
tage they expect TO derive from delay is
a subsidence of public sentiment toward
this monster, aud perhaps an absence of
witnesses for the prosecution .-ROchesfer
