OF hopeless poverty and wretchcdness. Tho ne.
groes are three to one in numbers, and the dis
parity is still greater in registered voters. The
radical Union League controls the entire mass Of
the black population and viii vote them Ike 80
many automats in the coming elections. Toe
white population is entirely outside the ring, and
altogether passive and pewerless. The widest
notions are instilled into the blacks by travelling
and local speakers paid for the purpose. An an
tagonism Of races is thus being created
which il more painfully visible every day.
Inc tempest is being raised. but who
will calm tho troubled waters, 1.-THE white popu-
lation of this country is doomed and must BE- de-
stroyed.' This was the utterance OF one Of tho
leaders not long since, and unless the government
or the Northern people aoon interpose and over
awe these desperate men it must be So The
blacks are promised farms and free distribution
OF property, and they are wild with politics and
turn their backs upon the fields. The labor of the
country is almost hopelessy demoralized Good
mechanics, who could command work and high
wages, have taken up politics and abandoned the
workshops Equality is not sufficient; the party
insists on negro supremacy and the entire ex-
clusion ofthe Southern white man from the govern
ment OF the State Farmers find il difficult to get
the crop harvested. 1t is perilous TO complain,
and folly to prosecute. The black man can do
with impunity what white man would not dare
to risk. Negroes are appointed to office, aud if
inefficient or detected in crime are not removed.
No stock can be kept in the country if turned
out in the morning they are seen no more. The
blacks through all this country are well armed,
and there is doubt that serious trouble must re-
suit from the present state of things. In the lexi
geography Of the party democrat is 'one who
aims to reduce the negro again to slavery and
this Is the only definition OF the word known TO
the blacks, and this they have been carefully
taught. Hence man who is even willing to ac-
cept the harsh conditions imposed by Congress
unless he will adopt the extreme Union republican
platform and assist In degrading his white fellow
citizens, is pronounced a democrat and the ne
groes stirred up against him. The civil courts
are almost entirely superseded by provost courts,
and from their decisions there is virtually no ap-
peal. Their decisions are arbitrary in the ex-
IRENE, and they utterly disregard the established
rules of practice. Men who have always been
Union men, even throughout the secession war,
say sit would have been more mercifui in the gov
eminent to have bayoneted the entire white popu-
lation OF the South when the war was ended, or
shot them all to death with musketry, than to
subject them to such doom as this---a lingering
death by slow torture" In fine, the picture
which this country presents is enough to bring
eternal discredit on American craftsmanship.
And humanity is outraged when . semi-harbarous
race Is placed in power over an intelligent and re
fined although conquered and brokenspiri.ed
people.

The appearance Of the Convention this morning
was extremely singular. The room in which the
delegates met had been fitted up before the
war war viii, wi.h grsa, taste, but the poverty
themselves even upon that. The walls have
become dlngy with dirt: the chandelier in tho
centre OF the hall has lost the suspicion OF its
former brightness. Even the portrait Of George
washington. which hangs above the Speakers
dlstinct. The personal appearance of the dsle-
gates was somewhat dlapidated; most of thesn
were poorly dressed some OF them were dressed
very badly. The negroes were all gathered to-
gether on ono side Of the room. Three Of the
moro Intelligent Of them, consisting Of the one
before alluded to, who keeps cigar store;
another who wears syer-rimmed spectacles,
and whose gray wool gives him . venerable air,
and third, who is an assistant editor on Grifin's
radical paper, and who wears q mustache like
that attributed by cartes de visite to Alexandra
Dumas, were seated in the second circle from the
President The rest of the sable element were
accommodated with desks on the back row. The
door was guarded by q negro, black AZ the ace Of
spades, attired In lowered white vest and q
threadbare black coat. The gallery was nearly
filled with negroes, only about dozen white men
being visible
The Convention will get through its Iabors with
all possible expedition. Most Of the delegates
think that they will remain in session only week.
some OF them hope to accomplish their work in
even less. The new constitution will probably
simply be reflection Of what the Congressional
party has endorsed as "a republican form Of gov
ernment," minus the prohibitory law. 1t is ru-
mored that the constitution to be adopted has been
already received from Washington.

which was formed while Fogler was employed
as a laborer on his fathers farm. From one
rash step he gradually glided to another, until
now we find him arraigned before a court of
Justice for the murder Of one of his fellow
beings. The deepest gloom is cast over the
family Of Mr.. Montgomery by this most un-
fortunate event, and it is scarcely expected
that the mother Of the unfortunate boy will
survive the event
Fogler is about twenty three years of age,
and is originally from this city, where his
father still resides. He was brought up in
ignorance, and at an early age was sent to the
Penitentiary for some Ofense, where he re-
NAMED until the breaking out Of the war,
when he was liberated ON condition that he
would enlist in the army He served one term
of enlistment, and upon his return hired at
Montgomery's, and it was while here that he
formed the acquaintance and influence over
young Montgomery which has led TO such
unfortunate consequences. The day for the
execution will be fixed by the Governor.

LBTrKR FROM JOHN HULME.


70 the Stockholders of the Pennsylvapia
Railroad Company:-The circumstances at
Aanding the recent election of Directors of
VouT Company induces me 10 make a short
statement Of the facts as far as / was concerned.
have been a Director of your Company for
abOut ten years, elected originally without any
solicitation on my part, and continuously
year after year without any question of my
htness for the Office. During that period I
have discharged my duties to the best of nv
ability.
On Saturday last, was informed for the
AFst time, that there would be an opposition
10 my election. On the day of the election II
appeared that a well-arranged and closely con-
serted scheme had been made to defeat me.
Two tickets were printed-my name on one.
and another name substituted for mine ON the
other, which was similar in paper, tvpe. and
general appearance. A person was emploved
70 stand at the front door of the building and
distribute the ticket opposed to me.
How and by whom this was done il is not
my purpose to state. One thing is certain.
that many persons were misled and deceived
into voting against me, who supposed they
were voting for me, and many others did not
vote who would have done 80 if they had
known there was to be an opposition to NV
election. My name was the only one omitted
from the ticket of all those who constituted
the old Board.
refer to the records of the Company as the
evidence of my fidelity to its interests. am
large stockholder, and represent other large
stockholders, and am confident that no lust
man can charge me with any remissness in the
discharge of my duties. Any one familiar
with the facts can but infer that my defeat has
been the result of a scheme secretly and care
fully pre-arranged by persons who must have
had purposes of their own to serve, or by
those whose objections were not based upon
the real interests of the Company
1t is for you to determine whether your in
terests have been subserved by this change. |
should not have objected to fair and open
contest, but submit it for your consideration
whether the course pursued has been such as
should meet your approval. Whether in or
cut of the Board, shall preserve my independ-
ence of thought and action in regard to the
management of the road, and shall do what
consider necessary for the protection of my
interests, in common with those of the other
stockholders.
From the fact that less than one-fourth of
the stock was voted, with the above result,
the necessity of stockholders attending at all
elections, and never assuming that there will
be no opposition, is evident. JOHN HUIME.
