E6- Montgomery Blair is stumping
Virginia in behalf of Democracy, and
in a late speech accused the Republicans
of being the the oRly party that ever ex'
listed in this country that did not at heart
profess to act in Difference to the Consti.
tuition. We beg leave to inform Mr.. Blair
that the Republican party has done more
TO preserve the Constitution than all the
other parties combined; that had it not
been for Republican energy and wisdom
he would not now have Constitution
TO talk about Where would the Con-
stitution be if the Democratic party had
been intrusted with its care? Probably
in some old paper shop. We have noticed
that the noise about the violation of the
Constitution generally comes from the
men who did the most to destroy or the
least to preserve it. The rebels who
abiured its authority, and tried to slash
it to pieces with the drawn sword, are
now eager to use it as the means of get
ting into power. Mr.. Johnson, who once
had the effrontery to say, Whenever
YOU hear q man prating about the Con-
stitution, spot him-he is traitor" now
talks more of it, and does less for it, than
any public man in America. -New York
Tribune.
We can see how the Republican party
has done something to preserve the
"UNIoN" by fcrce-a Union, which, by
so much, is without heart They first
did all they could to destroy it by irri-
tating and driving the Southern States
to war. But if that party has done any
thing to preserve the Constitution, or
the South anything to destroy it, we will
thank Mr.. Greeley to inform US what ?
The above article misleads, in point Of
fact. Mr.. Greeley is man of too much
intellectual stature to condescend to
sophistry, except when he is grossly in
the wrong and cannot accomplish an
end without it Let him tell US, if he
can, how division of the States, il it
had been affected, could have destroyed
the Constitution ? He asks Of Commits
sioner Ould proof Of his statements of
facts. Let him substantiate his own.

AUGUSTA.
The Political situation-Revolu,
ton in Public Sentiment.

AUGUSTA, July 3O.-The political situa-
ton is exciting lively interest through
out the State. The recent letters of
johnson. Hill and Perry have shaken
the faith of many who have heretofore
favored reorganization under the mill,
tary bill. 1t is said thai the anti.con-
vention sentiment is becoming more
popular with the whole people of the
State.

Ra5- Before the war the fact that sui.
cidos were extremely rare among the
blacks was a subject of comment among
philosophical and thinking men, and it
was generally conceded as an argument
that the system of slavery was rather
benign than extremely oppressive on
the race. But now that he is set free
Sambo has commenced initiating the
white folks We have seen number of
cases reported recently, some Of which
occurred in this place. Here is fresh
one, reported in the Louisville Courier
On Saturday afternoon negro named
Daniel Webster, who has been before the
CITY Court q number of times for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, and is
we'll known in police circles, essayed to
get rid of his troubles. He first men
toned his intention Of doing so, by say.
ing TO his mother, Old Aunt Lucy
Everybody is agin me, an II somebody
don't shoot me, Ill do 1t myself" He
left the house shortly afterward, stating
that he was going to work. Instead OF
doing so, he went to the Corner Sa-
LOOM on Green street, near Fifth, aud
asked the bar keeper to show him PTS
toll which was lying on = shelf behind
the counter. When the weapon was
handed to him. he placed it close to his
right side and fired, the ball passing en- e
tifely through him, coming out in his
back. He was picked up and taken
home, and is now in a very dangerous
condition. He said he tried to shoot
himself through the heart, but thought
il was situated on the right side, and
through this mistake escaped immedi-
ale death.

Bounty JUMPERs.-A negro named
Arthur Speight, who accepted the sit
uation last year and raised cotton on
his own hook near Cuba, Tenn, arrived
in the city few days since and disposed
of his staple. He then concluded to en-
large his operations this year, and while
inauiring for hands, made the acquain-
lance of Chas. Anderson, who soon ser
cured four other darkies for him. Be-
fore the hands would start, however,
they required Speight to settle several
little bills for them, which he did, keep
ing the negroes in sight all the time.
Business being settled, the party got
into the wagon and started for the plan
tation in good spirits. After proceeding
a short distance from town, the hive en-
ployes jumped out of the wagon and len
Speirht alone in his glory. He returned
to town, complained to the police, who,
after a diligent search, succeeded IN cap
turing them, aad they are now in jail
awaiting trial Many of our planters are
frequently svindled by class of negroes
who express a willingness to work. Sc
cure money in advance and then depart,
which is knowDss jumping the bounty.
Our magistrates should enforce the full
penalty Of the law against all such when
they have an opportunity.
