Speech Of the Hon. s. p. Chase.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct 6.
The Hon. S. p Chase arrived here last
night, and was enthusiastically received by
the citizens. lie made the following speech !:
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS :: This
greeting takes me entirely by surprise. I
came to Ohio to perform some private duties
and public duty 1 have avoided as far as
possible, for felt myself bound to avoid, all
public demonstrations in the position which
L occupy. am not at liberty to take On &C
tive part in political canvass. I have my
opinions, however, as a man and a citizen,
and it would be mere affectation if on an oc-
casion like this should refrain from saying
that abide in the faith, and cherish the
avow. 1 am not, as you know, man given
to change my vote, therefore, On Tuesday
next, it will be given to the candidates of
the great party whose proud distinction is
that it demands equal rights, and exact jus
tice to all men, and insists on maintaining
invioate the public faith. My whole p,olit-
cal life, and my whole public conduct pie dye
me to this; and 1 rejoice in the belief that
the noble people whom it has been my pride
to serve in days not long past, will, on the
one hand sternly refuse their sanction to any
violation of national contracts; and on the
other generously extend the right of ;suf-
frage to all men to whom it Is at resent
unjustly denied. With these few words, and
thanking you again and again for the kind
ness of your welcome tonight, and tor the
kindness with which you sustained ME ever
since entered public life, you will no W per
NIT me to bid you goodnight.

{ Secondly, it Is indubitable, according to
the showing made, that large numbers of
negroes have registered who had no right to
do so. This has been patent in the regis
tration disclosures in other States, and it is
now certain, also, that the most fragrant and
shameful abuses have been perpetrated in
North Carolina. This has, doubtless, been
accomplished in two ways: Many negroes
have registered, who have not attained their
majority,-a matter difficult, in their case,
frequently, of determination; and many
more have registered. perhaps more than
once, owing to the fact that so many of
them arc known in different localities by diff
ferent names. In this latter case, the pre-
sumption is that they will hardly be able to
cote as often as they have registered, for the
reason that. while registration was had on
different days, the elections will be uniform
throughout the State.-Sentinet.
The above is a grave charge made by the
Sentinel against the colored people of the
State The Sentinel assumes that about TO-,
900 colored voters have been registered in
this State Assuming this to be correct, the
census will show that there We're $4,000 COL
ored males in this State in 1860 of twenty
years of age and upwards. 1t is not surpri-
sing, therefore, that 10000 have registered
themselves as voters, when they feel that
their liberties in future will depend on their
votes.
We call upon the Sentinel to point out the
" shameful and fragrant abuses" to which it
refers. Can it give one instance of the kind

THE RAILRoADs.-The change of sched-
ulc on the North Carolina Railroad is appa-
rently so unwise, and the slight put upon
our City and its interests so palpable, that
we believe all the papers at the Capital will
unite in remonstrance against its longer con-
tinuance The mails have been disarranged
and are now delivered ten hours later than
formerly. Besides, while we have no espe-
cial interest i'll that direction, yet the CASTOR
Railroad is entirely ignored and its usef ul-
ness must be greatly paralyzed. If there be
unavoidable competition between the Will
mington, the CASTOR. and the Danville roads,
yet it is wrong for the claims of any one of
them to be overlooked entirely, or for any
two of them to combine with a third road
and Cypress the weaker corporation. The
true policy is to so arrange the schedules as
to give every road a fair chance and instead
of attempting to thwart the evelopment of
particular towns or localities by Sc fish COM
binations, rather to protect every interest
within the reach of the influence of any
road, whether rich or poor, weak or power
full, or whether it is owned by the State OF
individuals.

VENEzUELA.-This beautiful land has for
some years past been inviting emigration
from foreign countries. Many Virginians
have gone there, and all we hear from them
is encouraging. Dr. Henry NJ. Price, of
this State, who has had superintendent of
the emigration from this country, is writing
series of highly interesting letters to the
Scottsville (Va.) Register. He speaks thus
of the beautiful g Orinoco":
The Orinoco is certainly the prettiest
stream l have ever seen. 1t far surpasses the
Mississippi. Before us are several Islets
which dot the river; and render the scenery
picturesque in the extreme-indeed it is
panorama of beauty. Thermometer at 6,
p. NJ, SO degrees. We passed two beautiful
islets, that were covered with massy verdure.
The land is feet above high water, and
towers up with the timber some 100 feet
A man must be dead to the beautiful, who
is not enchanted. The forest is enliyened
with the chanting of birds. Could every
man in Virginia see this enchanting river,
surprising every other in beauty and fertii-
ty, but few would remain to suffer oppres-
sion, on her worn out old fields. Words can
not embrace the many advantages from SIM
pie description-wordsf ail-sight alone can
present them so as to be fully appreciated
The land is not low and marshy, as in the
lower delta of the Mississippi, as 1 expected
to find but high and well timbered. At
every turn some beautiful islet presents it
self, rich with tall, snowy and odorous verdi
ure, ane animate with birds of every hue
We have just passed the mouth of small
river-the Arctura. On the South is ca
noe with two native Caribs in it, gliding
gracefully along. Just above are a dozen
Islets, which in the light OF the setting sun
are beautiful beyond description. Anchored
off an Indian village, just now-Iwallapa,
by name, 7, p. IN. 1t is situated on an is
land in the river. We now have for the
first time, delightful music from the bowling
monkeys who are holding forth like so many
preachers

REBELS AT PREMIUM-In the Freder-
lick County Democratic Nominating Conven-
ton hast Saturday the slightest suspicion
that any aspirant had ever sympathlzed with
the Union cause in the late war for the I'm
ion was sufficient to cast him aside. For
only few of the minor offices have Con-
servatives been selected, It is said that in
an unguarded moment one of the most
prominent candidates tor clerk remarked
that two seats were now vacant at his table
that he had given two sons, whose lives
were sacrificed in defence of the old flag,
and that he was proud of their record
Enough. Instantly this language was used
; against him in the convention, and no doubt
s realty aided in defeating his nomination.

The Rebel press of this City is exulting
over Democratic victories" in those States.
We are of the opinion that the Republi-
cans have carried Pennsylvania by small,
and Ohio by large majority. We shall
soon know,
Any apparent or real loss of Republican
strength will only serve to bring the Con-
gress down with still greater force on Presi-
dent johnson. Southern men are exulting
over events which will tend still further to
humble and distress Them But the seces
sionists are as crazy now as they were in
1868.

OHIO AND PENNsYLvANIA.-The Wash

weeks have gone home, and the city is COM
paratively quiet. Advices from Ohio are

the Manhood Suffrage amendment. The
news from Pennsylvania is very meager, and
everybody expresses great doubt"

1t has been reported to me that in some
cases in this State Postmasters allow neI vs.
papers addressed to subscribers to be tax en-

This, no matter how we'll intended, is in vio-
olation of the rules and Postmasters are a d
monished not to permit this to be done. The
papers should be delivered to the subsc ri

A SURE CURE FOR YELLOW FEvER.-Dr.
Alexander Fiddes, an English physician
practicing in Jamaica, has had lately great
success in treating the yellow fever in its raw
ages on that island, and has saved an unusu-
ally large proportion of his patients. His
method of cure is thus described:
Calomel, quinine, and all other medicines
are set aside as being not only useless but
positively injurious; the only medicine re-
commended is a full dose of castor oil ut the
beginning of the disease. The remedy then
consists in the internal administration of sui
phurous acid, combined with the external ap
plication of iced sheets around the BODY
when the skin is hot and dry, or with an &C.
casional vapor bath when the skin is dry
without being very hot The sulphurous
acid IS not given in its pure form, but COM
bined with an alkaline base, such as the BIZ
sulphite of soda, the sulphate of magnesia
or potash, or of ammonia, of which the for
mer preparation is probably the best, being
tasteless and not likely to offend the stom-
ach: The dose is twenty grains every two
or three hours in glass of water The use
of sulphurous acid. and the application of
the wet sheets or vapor bath, are indicated
as much by the dictates of theory as by the
lessons of experience. The first is a proven
tive against fermentation of the blood; the
two latter are potent agencies for withdraw
ing poisonous matter from the BODY without
weakening the vital powers.

OHIO ELECTIoNs.-The situation with re-
spect to the October elections is almost an
exact counterpart of the position year
ago. Then Mr.. johnson had very nearly
matured plan for preventing the meeting
of Congress. The result of the elections
frightened him from his purpose. A ringing
Union victory is needed again to effect the
same result. Then few believed in his revo-
lutionary designs. Now it is a matter of
knowledge that he then cherished them
Then the plan was to declare that body
which excluded the representatives of ten
States was not Constitutional Congress,
and following that declaration, to recognize
the Northern johnson members, with those
who claimed seats from the South, as the
National Congress. This identical plan is
under consideration again, and through it
the Presidents opposition to Congress may
yet take shape. The same men who were
writing year ago to obtain their seats by
such a course on the part of the Executive,
are waiting and hoping still. The cry of all
the administration papers here that the oath
of the President obliges him to defend the
Constitution, has such an end in view The
danger is even greater now than it was
twelve months ago. Mr. johnson has taken
several aggressive steps. Unless he takes
Others, even his supporters will ridicue him
as weak and cowardly man. 1t is easier
to 60 forward now, to one of his tempera-
ment, than to stop and quietly accept defeat
