Sheriff of Upton c.

Ex~GovERNoR PERRY, Of South Caro-
lima who is Union man tried in the fire
one who fought secession in 1888, in 1850,
and in 1861, and held almost single
handed combat with an adverse public
sentiment, as is well known, refuses to
subscribe to the Radical theory Of recon.
struction. In late letter he says
at is idle folly to tell the people of South
Carolina that capital and immigrants will
flow into the State when reconstructed on
the Black Republican platform. On the
contrary, as soon as this negro government
is organized, every dollar of foreign capt.
tai in South Carolina will be withdrawn,
and not one cent will come here seeking
investment Nor will any foreigner move
here TO settle, under negro rule, and the
confusion and disturbance which it will
give rise to in the State Mr. Calhoun pre-
dicted, years ago, that if the negro was set
free the Northern people would insist on
his right Of suffrage, and, il allowed, the
negroes would seize the government and
the white people would have 10 leave the
State"

The Memphis Post publishes the follow
ing letter:
CovINGToN, Tenn, August 5, 1867
Editors Post: | see in your daily of the I'd
inst, short eitorial stating thatthe officer
appointed to hold the election at Mason's
Depot, refused to hold it, which wish TO
explain Mr. Cockrill, the Commissioner
of Registration for this county, claimed the
right TO hold the election at that precinct,
and he promised me he would do so, but
he became intoxicated the day before the
election, and was not able on the LIST inst.
to attend and hold the election according
to appointment never knew that there
was no election held there until 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, when it was too late to
appoint and send another deputy to hold
election.
Your paper also stated that men voted
for Brownlow at COyington and Porters-
vile at the risk Of their lives | wish also
TO correct that statement, which is utterly
untrue and without foundation.
l have held great many elections in
this county, and have neverse one pass
of more quietly in my life. Not a man
was. interrupted at the polls or prevented
from voting as he pleased, by any threats
OF demonstrations Of violence, at this place
or Portersville.
Enclosed you will find an account of the
vote in this county, taken from the official
returns. Respectfully, etc.

THE widow of President Lincoln has
never visited the old home in Springfield.
She said she could never summon up nerve
TO do So A year or so ago she came to
the town, and quite alone, went to the St
Nicholas, then the leading hotel Of the
place. Dressed in black and hidden by a
long thick mourning veil, she was not at
first recognized; but on disclosing her
name, received all the attentions due her
former position and her misfOrtunes.
Mrs. Lincoln took up her residence for a
while in Chicago, but does not seem dis.
posed to remain there permanently. as she
has sold ont her furniture, and Is staving
for the summer at hotel in Racine, Wis
cosin. Mr. Robert Lincoln is practicing
law in Chicago and thus none Of the Lin
coin family remain in Springfield, town
which will henceforth owe its chief cele-
brity to the fact that il was thehome Of the
head of that family.

WASHINGTON, August 9-Assistant At
torney General Buckley has furnished the
President with an opinion in relation 20
| the application for a pardon TO Charles A.
! Dhnham alas Sanford ConoVer, which is
recommended by A. G. Riddle and James
Holt, on account OF services rendered TO
the prosecution in the trial of Surratt, and
which was evidently inspired by j, III.
Ashley. Buckley gives the petition, and
also long letter addressed Subsequently
July 29th) to the President by Dunham,
in which he reveals an alleged plot on the
part Of Ashley, Butler, and others, to inn
plicate the President in plot for the as
sassination Of Mr.. Lincoln-which he says
is capable of proof by most irrefragible
evidence. He says Ashley explained the
kind of evidence he thought most sdvisa-
bic 70 present. viz that Booth had, on
several occasions, paid familiar visits to
the President at the Kirkwood House,
that johnson correspoHded with Booth,
that the placing of Atzerot at the Kirk
wood House was only shan, though ATT
zerot was not aware Of it, to make it APP
pear johnson was intended as victim, and
thus distract all suspicion from johnson Of
conniving at Lincoln's murder; that Booth
stated on the 4th of March, to an intimate
friend in New York, whom he had en-
deavored to enlist in the conspiracy, that
he was acting with the knowledge of the
Vice President and that it had heen ar
ranged to kill Lincoln on the day of in
auguration, which would account for John,
sons strange conduct on that occasion, and
that johnson expected the tragedy to be
enacted then, and had taken several pota-
tons to compose and nerve him for the
event.
Durham says he assured Ashley heshould
have DO difficulty in finding persons of
good standing and moral character to prove
these matters, and that it was agreed he
should do so as soon as released. Ashley
and Butler pressed him TO send for two or
three persons Of intelligence, which was
done, but Durham being in Jail, it was
found necessary for some one else to act as
their prsceptor, which was done with slight
hesitation by Ashley, on Dunham's as
surance that the parties were Radicals,
dyed in the wool, and men of honor, in
whom he conld safely repose confidence

we're revised and corrected by Ashley, and
they we're assured by him that, in case it
should be determined to examine him be-
fore the commission, they should be splen-
didly rewarded.
Subsequently the parties we're presented
to Butler and introduced by him and
Ashley to several Radical members of the
House.
Several papers accompanied the forego-
ing, including some statements about visit

FATAL AccIDENT.-James Tuggle was
thrown from swing at the school-house
near Buena Vista; Smith county, on the

The swing was suspended from the top Of

that the unfortunate young man with two
others were being swung by several others
and when they were about Twenty-Five feet
from the ground, the swing gave way and
threw him backwards some thirty or forty
feet upon flat rock in the edge of a small

The SECOND RACF.-The Saratoga Cup
horses were entered:
Only four, Muggins Delaware, Onward
and Dazzle came to the post. Loadstone
was lame, Beacon and Julius were in the
same predicament, and none of the others
were at the course. In the pools Onward
was a warm favorite, selling for $3.50. Mr..
Watson's pair (Onward and Delaware)
S475, and Dazzle $50. A good start, the
horses as they passed the judges stand
being placed as follows: Onward first,
two lengths before Dazzle, Muggins four
lengths behind the latter, and Delaware
acting as whipper in. At the quarter pole
Onward had increased lbs lead to four
lengths, and Dazzle fully ten lengths be-
fore the favorite, but at the half mile pole
the latter had given Dazzle the 20 by, yet
wasstill ten lengths Behind Onward. Passing
the stand the second time Onward led
Muggins by four lengths, the latter three
lengths before Delaware. Onward carried
on the running at his best pace until near
ing the half mile pole, when Muggins, who
had gradually been creeping up, got on
even terms A splendid and most exciting
race was now witnessed, Onward still
maintaining a shade the best Of the strug-
gle until half way up the homestretch,
when the Jockey on Muggins raised his
whip and the gallant horse gamely respond
ing, he shot out and won a magni6cently
contested race by length; Onward ten
lengths before Delaware, and Dazzle beat

he Impeachment QuestiOn-A New
Bafch of RumOrs-


New York, August 1.-THE Herald's
Washington special says: The absorbing
topic in this city is the development of The
alleged project to manufacturing evidence
against the President with the view of Sc
curing his impeachment. The public
opinion is nearly equally divided as to the
real object of the conspiracy as well as to
who are the real conspirators. Many per-
sons, principally Radicals, believe that the
disclosures just made through the applica-
ton Of Conoyer for pardon are part of
the operations of plot between the Presi-
dent and certain of his friends, with Dun
ham and his satellites, to create reYulsion
OF feeling in regard to the impeachment
to bring contempt upon the efforts of the
leaders OF that movement. In all proba-
{ bility this may work very benefcially upon
( the next Presidential election, but they say
they cannot believe that a politician so
shreWd and crafty as Ben Butler would ever
be guilty of so great a blunder as to
compromise himself by plotting in COM
pany with a criminal convicted of
perjury to concoct false evidence against
the President of the United States. These
people are confident that few DAYS will
suffice to clear up these charges against
Ashley, Butler & Co, when the character
OF the plot viii be made manifest. On the
other hand, the number of those who en-
terrain no doubt whatever of the genuine
ness of the revelations is very large, and it
is claimed by them that few days instead
of revealing a Conservative plot will lay
before the country developments still more
startling than any hitherto made.

A RICH DEVELOPMENT-HO Ley
Atty SUPPORTS THE GOVERN

Very recently General Goodloe, an agent
of the Revenue Department Of the United
States, has been making an exploration Of
matters in East Tennessee, and from his
report it is ascertained that he discovered
in the Knoxville District, the home of
Governor Brownlow, no fewer than two
hundred and sixty-one distilleries that
were unlicensed, and that were in full
operation, but were not paying a dollar of
revenue to the United States. They made
on an average FIVE barrels Of whisky day,
and their loyal proprietors cheated the
United States government out Of, it is sup
posed, one hundred thousand dollars every
day. This is the community that is howl
ing for the DISTINGUISHING of law-abiding
citizens; it is the community that lauds
Brownlow and wants indemnity laws passed.
