the same time the former are so BIASED
by the indoctrinat;ons Of their radical
leaders, teachers and preachers that
they would abandon it forever rather
than suffer theif adherence to it to mil
itate with what they call the spi-
,it Of the age. It strikes us, in view
Of these facts, that the only remedy for
the country is to be found in the dou-
bic conception Of entertaining their at
.tachment for the constitution, with GER
tain of their pet notions (not too rank
such as ,asirersal sutragt) into a COM
mon party platform. Compromises
will have to be made. There may be
a halfway ground which will meet the
roquirementof Of the present hour, with
out impairing fundamental principles.
One thing is sure, no success can be
expected so long as no party is organ
lied adverse to the Radical party.
Whether tone and power can be i'm
parted to another based on common
platform suitable to all sections, is the
question. Something, however, mHst
be done, or the Radicals will, at an easy
gallop-and worse than all, will acquire
such speed and endurance as to dis
tauce oil new entries for years. Then

We had the pleasure, in company with our es-
timablefriend c. n. Lewis, Of this city, OF ma
king visit to Roanoke on Saturday last to attend
great Central Fair Meeting at that place. There
was large crowd in attendance, and deep in
erest was manifested by all present in the success
OF the project OF establishing fair at Roanoke
for the Joint benefit Of the counties Of Howard,
Charlton and Randolph. The meeting was held
on the grounds selected for the purpose, about
half mile east from Roanoke. The location is
most admirable one, embracing thirty acres OF
beautiful Woodland pasture, and as an evidence
that this matter is not call talk and no cider,"
those having il in charge have gone TO work, cut
ting out and burning the surplus underground, logs
and stumps, preparatory 10 putting the grounds IN
order for fair THIS FALL. II all the world was
as enterprising and determined as the people OF
Roanoke, the waste places would all be made
glad, and every desert blossom as the rose.
The meeting was presided over by Hon. A. W
Morrison OF this county, its object and purposes
stated by A.. J. Herndon, Esq, Of fayette, and
W. V. Hall acted as Secretary. An elaborate re-
port of the proceedings will be found elsewhere
II is enough 10 say that the Society will hold a
fair this year. and we urge upon every one to lend
Il helping hand. Become at once stockholders
and prepare stock and other articles for exhib
ton. The list Of premiums should be published
al the earliest possible day. II should be published
in all four Of the newspapers in the three countess
but aa the publishers conventionrates will not al.
low the publishers TO do the work for less than
full prices, II would be too heavy for the associa-
ton in its infancy. TO remedy this matter, we
propose, if the other papers will do likewise, to
publish the list for The first exhibition FREE OF
CHARGE. If this is not done, the premiums, to-
gether with the Constitution and bylaws and
rules and regulations should be printed in pamph-
let form, and given general circulation.

The Frcedmen,s Bureau.

Gene rails Fullerton and Stesdman have made
their official report Of the operations of the Freed
mems Bureau at the South. The summary is loo
lengthy to publish, but ii discloses system OF
th,every and oppression Of the poor freed negro,
under the Bureau system, that ought 10 make
Sathbo long TO be slave again.
The following is an extract.
The Bureau has no settled mode Of administra-
t;on. There is an entire absence OF system or
uriformity IN its constitution. IN one State It's
officers exercise judicial powers in on adjoining
ali cases are referred TO the civil authoriuesj
while in third State the Bureau officers collect
The cases and turn them over I'd the inliitary pro-
vost courts 10 dispose OF. In some departments
the officers of the Bureau have attempted 10 regu-
late the rate OF wages; one form OF Contract be-
tween employer and employed is prescribed IN
one state. while in another different form is
aJonted. In louisiana the expenses OF the freed
mems school have been wholly paid by the Gov
ernmeni; in the other Statesoe schools are par
tially self-siipporng, and in Texas the are en-
,ireE so In some localities the Bureau officers
interfere arbitrarily berween the planter and the
freedmen in favor of the freedmen; in other To-
calities the Bureau is used q means of coercing
the freedman in favor OF the planter. The expen-
citure of the Bureau varies as much as its mode
of administration. In one State the expenses are
over three hundred thousand dollars year; in an
other State, with an eqaul population, the expcn-
ses a re not more than fifty thousand. II. some
States the expenses have been met by taxes levied
on and collected from the people; in other State
cost is entirely borne by the United States Treas
ury.
The way in which Cuffee is maltreated may b'
gathered FROM the following:
The system of contracts now existing. in tn
South and enforced by the Bureau Is simply slave
ry in q new form. What is the difference to
negro whether he is sold for SIS or $4,000 for thir
ty years to thirty masters or for thirty years t.

GT- Maj. Gen. Thomas was IN st. Joseph few
days ago, en- route for Omaha.

GY- There is no doubt that Secretary Stanton is
about to retire from the Cabinet. The public have
been so often humbugged by reports of his retire.
ment during the last three years, that every state
mentof that nature is received with incredulity.
The pressure against him has become so strong,
however, and the political course of the Administra-
ton well defined, TO preclude any possibility
of his retention. The question as 10 his successor
is beng actively canvassed. and moi little of the
pressure upon the President Just now is upon this
subject The two names most actively canvassed
are those of Gen. Steadman and Gen. Frank P.
Blair. The Western delegations are unanimous in
favor Of the latter, and the pressure in his favor
is very great. Gen. Steadmun, however, is regar-
ded having the inside track but the result Of the
contest is doubtful.

The Meeting mt Boonsb0ro.

Mr.. EpIroR; We were there, and supposing
you would like te hear the particulars-not seeing
any representative OF your office present, and our
distinguished editor Of the Advertiser on the qni
rire, thought it would at least be acceptable. The
crowd began to gather about 10 O'Clock, from all
quarters. Tie fair ones were many. Franklin
was fairly represented. At IL O'Clock, NJ, 1t was
announced, in front Of Robert Turner's store, to
those grouped in squads 10 hear what their respec-
tive candidates had 10 late, that all who desired

good people of B., and especially Mrs. Clint
Holloway, Mrs. Heironymus and Mrs. p. Burns,
Hon. J. p. Sebree took the stand and explained TO
the people the points in regard to voting after
| which Mai Cockerill made a very appropriate
speech, announcing himself as candidate for the
Legislature, subject to the Conservative conven-
tion. Then came A. J. Herndon, who spoke in
slch terms not only 10 rivet the attention of all
present, but inspired them with confidence. They
seemed 10 respect him for his wisdom and patri-
otism, having only at heart the public good. Mr..
]. A. Holiday next appeared, 10 vindicate him
self against an insinuaton made by J. p. Sebree
in an article in the Times of last week, which
seemed 10 cause little agitation through the
crowd-so much so, that some of the members OF
the johnson Club, if not the greater portion, were
indignant that Mr.. Sebree should pass by or treat
so lightly man whom so many esteemed, and
would vote for--Mr. II. having been one OF the
foremost in getting up the Johnson club, and talk
ing to the people whenever necessary. lhe peo-
pie Of Boonsick are no, slow 10 see the point, and
think they can muster man as well qualified
as Fayette OF any other place. Mr.. Holiday
seemed relnctan, al first, bnt, being urged by his
friends. made some very appropriate remarks MIR

he was on a wild goose chase. Mr.. Herndon re-
piled by way of giving him some fatherly advice,
and the people counsel.
All the candidates seemed pleasant and cheerful
as though future glory awaited them. 1t was late
when the crowd dispersed, in good order-save
those who STAYED to the dance X.

The Governor, in his PROCLAMATION published on
the first page of this paper, enjoins upon all good
citizens 10 report to his Excellency all violations
of the law. In compliance with this request, we
call his attention 10 the murder of Rev. s. s.
Headlee, in Webster county, on the 2sth Of July.
To the breaking up Of religious meeting in Liv-
ingsion county, on the 18th Of August, by band
of Radical bushwhackers. To the brei king up
Of peaceable and lawful ass.mblage Of citizens
of the same county, about the same time, by
band Of outlaws, led py Radical member of the
Babcock legislature, named Porter. To the attack
upon and brutal treatment Of Lieut.. Henry, late
Of the Union army, by a band Of armed Radio al
rangers, at Maysvillr, DeKalb county, on satur-
day, August l6. We refer him to the resolution.
adopted by the Radical party of Andrew county
wherein ministers are threatened with violence for
preaching the Gospel. To the murder Of Silas
Smith, of Grundy county, a few days ago, by
three OF the - foppers" of that county. To the
recent fighting in Rails county, in which nine men
were killed and wounded. To body of armed
men stationed al Independence, in violation of the
Constitution and subversive of the peace of the
State. We indict the Radical party of Missouri
with this catalogue of crimes. Gov. Fletcher has
the power 10 stop 'hese ourages, and ne should DO
it, by Furnishing the perpetrators of them. He
talks glibly about the enforcement of the registry
law, but gives us specific intimation that those
whose hands are reeking with the blood of an in
nocent minister of the Gospel shall be brought to
justice. No body has threatened to resist the
registry law. Nearly every other law in The
statutes is violated by Radicals with impunty
Let the Governor put his own party in straigh
jackets, and the Conservative party will see tina
the registry and all other laws enforced accord
ing TO the letter and spiit of the Constitution.

even criminal negro, without the form of law, en-
dangers the life of the highest and the best ci!zer
of the country"
But not one word in condemnation of the bruta
murder Of Rev. Samuel S. Headlee is 10 be fount
in its columns. Like Governor Fletcher, il doubt
