Southern Political Items.

The Mobile advertiser begs the color
cd men (niggers) "of Alabama" to re-
member that "the mothers who gave
them birth were nursed by the whites;
that they have played with the whites
In infancy and childhood; that their
race Is far fewer in number than that of
the white race Of the South; the welfare
Of their families, their employment,
their daily bread, anS whatever advan-
tages and aid they may receive hereafter
must come from the whites, who possess
means and intelligence. Come togeth-
er then" it remarks, "in Conservative
convention and satisfy yourselves that
the whites of the South mean and in
tend that you shall remain free, and
possess your rights for al time" The
Boston namesake Of the Mobile paper
thinks some Of the ''colored men of AL
ALBANIA" will be smart enough to reply:
"White men of Alabama! The mothers
who gave us birth Were flogged by you.
You lorded it over us in infancy and
in childhood. Your race was stronger
than ours and 1t made us slaves. Your
daily bread was earned in the sweat of
onr faces. You kept us in chains until
tho war freed US, and you would now
keep the ballot from our hands If you
had the power. We can do better than
to vote your tickct.'
The presiding officer of the South
Carolina Republican State Convention
at Columbia was II. II. Gleaves, who is
described bya Northern Correspondent
as "mulatto, portly and handsome,
with mustachc and side whiskers, and
looks very much like General Rosseau
cut in ebony Probably a scion of one
Of the South Caroleena aristocracy graft
ed on native stock, "pledge of love"
from member of one of the first fami-
lies. 1t was reported of him that che
has considerable ability as a presiding
officer, and has throughout ruled the
assemblage with good temper and dis
cretion;" but of course not without
considerable pomposity andgorgeousness
of manner, which, however, did not
make him forget to make his rulings to
the advantage Of the Radicals, SO far as
parliamentary rules would allow.
The correspondent OF the New York
Times, giving an account of the Repub.
lican State Convention at Columbia,
South Carolina, of which but a small
fraction of the members were white,
says of the general ability of the man
agement: The Convention has through
out been dominated by the colored men,
and l must say that the leaders have
shown marked degree of ability. 1t Is
rare that you ever see in deliberative
bodies of men more skill and tact and
force than Whipper, and DeLarge, and
Langley, and Randolph and Wright,
who far outshone in intellect any of the
white members. But these were excep-
tons. The great body of the black dele
gates bring with them little but the ig-
norance of plantation hands, and
throughout the proceedings seemed to
be in fine religious Dress the Lord
phrenzy. Their hearts are right. but as
for their intellects there Is room for i'm

Capt, Mikes, who left New York on
the 4th OF June, on the life preserving

in safety few days since. He certainly

to meet the wants of voyagers for pleas

lords no protection against the weather.

INToLERANcY.-The Chicago Times
is one Of the Eablest, and certainly
one Of the bittercst, Democratic
journals in the country. Its politics
are very bad, but its enterprise is un>
surpassed, SO that it is one of the very
best newspapers in the North-W est.
The Times, however, has one re-
markable peculiarity-it has ideas of
its own and does not fear to express
them. Nearly year ago, it demon
strated against the undemocratic
folly and meanness ofskeeping -Four
Millions Of native citizens in a state
Of perpetual, hopeless serfdom, In
other words, it insisted that the
Democratic party should be Demo
cratic, if only for symmetrys sake.
And, while it has since been as in.
tensely Copperhead on most questions
as The Richmond Examiner, it does
not yet realize that its party can
gain anything by keeping up a wars
fare against enfranchising the Blacks.
Hereupon, a purse has been raised
$4,000 says one report, $4,000
says another-and new Democratic
"organ" is to be started at Chicago
to run down Tue Times.
