Caush, by Their Own Tes'imony'
From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle and Sentinel


The radicals North are bowling over
TIA late riot in New Orleans, as an ex,
hibition of rebel contempt for the legal
authorities of the land A reference to
the proceedings of Congress, when INC
Congressional delegation from Louisiana
presented their application for admls-
sion, shows that they regarded the Con-
vention of 1864 with contempt.
= The radical leaders and their neWspa'
per organ gave the Convention OF 1904
no quarter. One or two specimens TO
illustrate their venomous tone. we give.
In the debate in the Senate, Mr.. Sumner
said:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-Irem remember last sum-
mer that good fortune threw me In the
path of distinguished gentleman just
returned from Louisiana. l think he
had been present at the slttings OF the
convention; at any rate, he bad been at
New Orleans at the time IN the discharge
of important duties In reply to an
inquiry in regard to that convention, he
said cOmpendiously that 1T was nothing
but stupendous hoax-yes, sir, nothing
but stupendous hoax.
The pretended State government OF
Louisiana is utterly indefensible, wheth,
er you look at its origin OF its character
To describe / must use plain language
1t is a mere seven months abortion, be.
gotten by the bayonet in criminal con
Junction with the spirit Of caste, and
born before its time, ricketty, uniformed
unfinished.
In the same debate, Mr.. Wade said:
SRI have heard great deal about
this pretended election in Louisiana
which did not come from Major General
Banks, and l pronounce the proceeding
mockery. 1t is not pretended that
there could be drummed up from the
riff-raff of New Orleans and sent into
the vicinity, under the mandate OF ma
jor general, more than six Thousand
votes, where over fifty thousand were
formerly polled.
Mr.. Grimes and other radicals spoke
in the same strain, and, at the conclu
sion of the debate, the Louisiana Con
vention and its work were condemned
by the decisive vote of 80 to II In the
House it was assailed by Thad. Stevens
Winter Davis, and their followers will
equal vigor and ferocity, and met the
same fate at the hands of the radicals.
And yet, to make political capital
against the President, they now change
their base and become the champions o.
the "stupendous hoax" and "mockery.'

The Convention To.Morrow-

Itmay not be Inappropriate, mNiew OF
the Convention which is to be held to-
morrow for the nomination of candidates
for county offices, to offer few words of
caution to the candidates and to tho
gentlemen who will comprise the Con-
vention.
TTins prospect for tho election OF our
ticket in October is very hattering' As
the last poll held in this county we had
a majority Of three hundred aud forty
four votes, and, with anything like pro
per management, our majority this fall
sbould reach at least five hundred. The
whole matter is, however, in the hands
of the Convention and the candidates
themselves. If we are beaten, it will DO
the result of gross indiscretion on the
part of the Convention, or the culpable
conduct Of candidates. 1t is Of the ut
most Importance, therefore, that great
care be exercised TO prevent any occult
renee that may lead to a division and
the consequent defeat of the party. The
deliberations of tho Convention should
be characterized by the utmost harmony,
and, to secure this, each Individual
should T, solve MOI 10 permit his personal
views and preferences to lead him so far
as TO ehdaneer tho unity Of the party
In the contest upon which We are
about entering, success at the polls is the
grand object we must have in view. No
matter how we may differ as to the
proper man for this, that, or the other
Office, we must, when the nominations
ave made, present al united trout. The
radical party is our common enemy and
we must make common cause against 1t,
no matter what conflicting views Nc
may have among ourselves, We should
remember tho old motto United we
stand" aud forget hot the warning COZ
tanned in the other clause, Divided we
fall" Certainly the citizens Of Ohio
county have already suffered eaonsh
from radical domination, aud seen
enough Of the tendency of the radical
party, to make them avoid everything
that can possibly tend to prolong the
rule of that political faction. The
present condition of political affairs
should grapple together, Us with hooks
of steel, all conservative men, Al lovers
of their country aud race, aud enable
them TO make any sacrifice of personal
feeling or ambition that may DO ucces
sary TO seoure the triumph of the right,
We believe that tlere is such dispo-
sition to unity among the people, and
we expect to see ii illustrated Ivy the
convention tomorrow, Harmony is au
indispensable requisite. To success, and
We are certain that the people who do
the voting will not look with any degree
of favor upon anything which stands in
the way Of the complete overthrow of
the radical party IN the slectious this
fall. The people care little about the
individual who may be put torwar3 "a n
candidate provided he is honest ransI,..
worthy and politically sound TbaSe
requisites being secured, it matters NOT
what the name OF the candidate NAV I've
he should, and doubtless will. receive
the united support Of the party. Let us
have an harmonious convention and a
carefully selected ticket and success will
be rendered sure.

Mr.. REEDS LECTURE.-The Central
Presbyterian of yesterday happily says of
Mr.. Reeds lecture:
at is great treat in these days, when
style of writing all garish, and Of speak
ing, all fuss and thunder, pass for elegance
and eloquence with so many, to sit down
and listen for an hour to a composition
marked by such charming simplicity both
as to its matter and manner. The most re-
fined culture, the accomplished scholar,
were Apparent at every step, not by effort,
but simply because they could not be con-
cealed."
And the man who knew hins.le and his
kind was manifested in the quiet remarA
which he made-the very best, in our OPT
Mon, In the lecturc-that he was not one
who could see anything improper or absurd
in cuotnn,s hailnwed hy time, and deemed
important or imposing by those who in
dulged in them, how much soever they
might run counter to the habits of thought
of his own people. ........ .....

THE REBELS CHEER A FEDERAL SOLDIER

THE REBELS CHEER AFEDERAL SOLDIER.
At O recent tournament in Tuscumbia,
Alabama, the prize was won by an ex-oiii-
Ger of the Federal army. The Huntsville
Independent thus describes the manner in
which his victory was received: The
thickest ice must melt. Cheer after cheer
burst forth for the knightly victor. The
judges, the president, General Forrest, and
X. of Q. said hurrah for him and took him
by the hands. The silver spurs were his
there was not dissenting voice. And just
here we have the pleasure of recording an
impromptu act by the oft-hand knight
which does credit to the heart. Through
General Forrest he announced to the crowd
that the spurs were offered as present to
the association for the cause of sepulture to
the Confederate dead. Well done, son Of
the North. You fought for your side in
the war, we for ours. You are . peace
man now, and no one can say You have
not acted the gentleman throughout, and
at times when ones patience would be
sorely tried.

DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT.-The intention OF
establishing constitutional government in
Egypt is said to have been revealed to the
French Emperor many months ago, aud to
have received his approval. Nubar Pasha,
who every now and then comes here and
has GROUND" with NJ. Lesseps about the
Suez canal, was also in the secret, and
gave o French house an order to prepare
all the furniture and utensils considered
necessary for carrying on representative
government. 1t is thought probable here
that the recent events which have happen
ed in Gambia will force Ismail Pasha to
delay the announcement of the Constitu-
ton which is to fall like dew on the land
of the pyramids, and change the fellabs
who are now drivcn-often in chains-tod do
paid labor on French works into free and
independent voters, upon whom forty CEN
turtles will no doubt look down with grim
satisfaction. Can one imagine such an
idea as the Grand Turk and-universal

WEST VIRGINIA-REUNIoN WITH VIR-
GINIA-ThE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
The Wheeling Intelligencer sums up the
results of the late election in West Vir-
GINA, and comes to the conclusion that the
Radicals will have SO large majority in
the next Legislature that the ratification
of the proposed constitutional amendment
is highly probable, and that--we let it
speak for ITSELF
"If the commissioners Of old Virginia
come over here making propositions Of re-
union, they will be politely, but decidedly,
informed that Barkis is not willin'.'"

stone, with two towers one hundred and
;rly feet high, and twenty feet square
Tue p0rtico in front of the veStibule, and
nearly all Of the interior columns, inclu-
ding those of the triforium, will be of sand
stone, whilst the others will be of Scotch
granite. The woodwork of the main
iuldiug will consist Of white oak and
black walnut combined, and the flooring of
tie aiSlcs, portico, and vestibule will be q
trc,,eated pavement. The whole Of the in
terror will be delicately tinted, and orna-
mcrtcd with decorations in baS-relief,
stained glass windows, etc. ....
The d;menSionS.-The building will oc-
cupy 4 frontage Of about l04 feet on Fifth
avenue, and depth of lS4 feet on Forty
third street. The interior will measure
about ninety feet by ls4 feet. The nave
w,ll he thirty-lour feet in width, 100 feet
III length, and sixty-seven feet in height
t. the caves. The transept will be
Miacty-tour feet by thirty-four feet. The
sanctuary, which is to be forty-one feet

tanned in two-story building situated i'll
