KIDNAPPING IN THE SoUTH.-The re-
cent reports of the kidnapping of negroes
IN the South for sale in Cuba have ind'-
rec, confirmation in a letter to the Spring
field Republican from Pike county, Ga.
The writer says:
Considerable complaint has been made
IN this section that the freedmen have
abandoned their employers when 1t was
too late to supply their places and suffered
themselves TO be taken away by men
promising TO take them west and pay them
biob wages. Many a negro amhy mas
been taken out OF the country, some oy
compulsion, but chiefly by persuasion.
The agents in this emigration are generally
clad like Yankee soldiers, and when COM
~pulsion is used claim to act under author
ity. Whether these agents are Yankees
or rebs, no one pretends to know ana
whether the negroes are employed west or
are struggled out Of the country and SOLO
into slavery in Cuba and Brazil, no one
pretends to know, but whisper says they
are sold, the congressional committees
report 10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
All will be right between the
races when the South cease to regard the
negro as a pecuniary investment, and the
North as q vast fund Of political capital

GanG Calico Rail in St. Lnuis.

The festivities at the Southern Relief Fair
in St. Louis eliminated on last Wednesday
night in great calico ball, which it is esti-
mated as many as three thousand persons at
tended The scene is described as being very
amusing from the variety and oddly of the
costumes. One of the principal features was
the ''calico' quadrillcs, which, the s'Repub-
lican'' says, were devised for the benefit of
about forty gentlemen members Of our active
society, who went to the ball quantity costu-
med in complete and stunning chintz and
calico suits. cut in dress form. They sported
buttons half as large as a mans hand and col
ors of the loudest possible pattern. The ladies
we're almost all faithful to the design of a
calico ball Those of matronly age were
CARRIED in plain alpaca or Black silk, but the
younger ones who danced were dressed, with
the fcwest number Of exceptions. in costumes
Of gingham, cambria or calico. Most of the
dresses, TOO, were studiously plain and home
made, while few Of them were trimmed ac-
cording to more pretentious millinery rules
By 10 o'clock 81 400 in cash was taken in
at one of the ticket Offices, and 5000 at the
other. These sums do not include the pro-
ceeds of sales of the great number of tickets
for the three or four preceding days The
orchestra consisted of u of the best musicians
in ST. Louis.

The Howard. Amendment.

The World" one of the ablest political
papers i'll the United States, says:
If the ten excluded States stand united
the amendment cannot be forced upon them
until the number Of States is increased to for
ty. True, a few years may suffice to make
this addition; but kentucky and Maryland
will equally decline to ratify, as the prcscrp-
ton of Congress would also reduce their
weight in that body. Instead of ten nom
ratifying States, there will, therefore, be
twelve. which would require the whole num-
Der of States to be increased to forty-cigit
before the amendment could be carried, which
will not be in this generation. Nor is it
supposable tlsa great part Of the white pop
ulation Of Missouri will be permanently OK
Guided, a~ at present, from their political
rights AS Missouri is rot negro-suh,rage
State, the party in power may not choose to
hasten its downfall by ratifying the amend
ment. In that case, there would be thirteen
non-ratifyng States, and thirteen can post
pone the adoption of the amendment until the
number of States is increased to fifty-two,
which is a greater number of States than we
are ever likely to have; the territories being
only nine, and the present thirty-six States
being sixteen less than fifty-two. Even when
the whole nine territories shall have become
States, eleven non-ratifying States will suf-
flee to defeat the amendment So far is it
from being true that the amendment must
prevail at last, if the South shall steadily re-
sist it."

An Ugly Squirting Towards Civil War.

A storm seems to be brewing in Maryland
which threatens mischief to the whole coun-
try. The Radicals declare that their Police
Commissioners must be sustained, even
against the Executive Of the State of Mary
land, and seem to be prepared for demon
s.raton of force There are indications that
the Radicals in the neighboring Northern
States viii GO to the assistance of the boys
in blue of Baltimore, should they precipi-
tate collision, and thus general conflict
between the Northern Radicals and Conser-
vativcs may be the result. With no voice in
public affairs, we have no comments or ad.
vice to offer. Under the startling heading
Of ''Imminent Danger Surrounding us" the
Constitutional Union, published in Wash
ington, says:
.'Thc GOODNESS and audacity with which
such members of the Radical press as the
Washington Chronicle call for another civil
war, indicates that they are prepared, by
means of money, arms and organization, for
the conflict. 1t therefore becomes the duty
of all Democrats and Conservatives to pre-
pare themselves in like manner. We are not
alarmists, but in view of the open violence
already being committed by the Radicals,
and their threats to plunge the country into
all the horrors of another strife, we counsel
all our Democratic brethren to organize at
once Organize! There is no time to be
lost. Let the Democrats of every township
and voting precinct in the country enroll
themselves into organizations, into compa-
MES of minute men, ready to start at the tap
of the drum to defend the Union and the
Constitution of their fathers from the attack
of radical treason. The Radicals have their
Loyal Leagues, their Soldiers Unions, and
their grand Armies of the Republic, all or
ganized and disciplined, and thoroughly Off
cered-it is but common prudence that we,
too, should organize in like bodies. Organ
ize, and at once There is no time to be
lost. BY the first Monday in December let
every man of the Conservative Democratic
parties, North and South, be ready to meet
what Radical treason may dc" , Wing

SUSPECTED MURDER. In retired part of
the grounds of one of our townsmen, the heel
of an inferred body was yesterday observed
exposed, doubtless, by the late heavy rains
Further examination was made and the whole
exhumed, the covering having been obvious
ly slight and hasty. Certain circumstances
induced the conclusion that the remains are
those of German stranger by the name of
r. L Schauck. The clothes served to idcn-
tify him. AS no money or other valuables
were found, plumber is presumed to have
been the object Of the assassin. A deep cut,
made apparently by dull axe, a hoe or 9TH
er similar instrument, was apparent CD the
upper part of the body For reasons con-
nected with the attainment Of illegal justice
we abstain from, giving many particulars now,
it being advisable to avoid alarming suspect
ed parties.
The deceased. though he cyinced Radical
tendencies, had made himself much liked by
the few who made his acquaintance. He
was eccentric in his ways, and some thought
little Eighty, as he talked much of .Jerusa-
lem, from which place he claimed to have
come; but he was mild and inoficnsive, and
could not have had an enemy
The remains have been taken to the corpo-
ration clerks Office, where an inquest will
probably be held at an early hour this morn
ing, which we hope will unravel the fearful
mystery and get at the root of the matter -
