Presidential.

Frank Blair wants to inaugurate another re-
bellion. The most ardent Of his supporters are
at present under parole not to take up arms
against the i" L. S. Co.
Mr.. S. S. Cox says of Horatio Seymour: Il The
more you rub him the brighter he shines" TIE
same may be said of brass-candlestick and
Blair's nose.
The Democrats are so deficient in arithmetic,
that in adding up the Northern States they don t
know how to ''carry one"
A distinguished savant abiding to Governor
Seymour's birthplace, Pompey, New York, re-
marked that he was former resident of Pom
peii, and had been recently exhumed by party
of Americans antiquarians.
1t is thought that Grant would have been more
popular among the Democrats if his initials had
been &C. S. G. instead of 90 U. S. G."
A lady out West - has been fined ten dollars
for kissing young man against his will. A
Western paper wants to know how much the
Democratic convention should be fined for fore
ing nomination on Seymour 'sagainst his
will"
An artist advertises portraits of Blair in fifteen
different positions, After the election he can
give sixteen-one of them " face down.
The Democrats are troubled about General
Grants given name, and delight in calling him
Hiram. General Grant, to satisfy them all
around, will give them his fathers name (Jesse)
as compromise.
In 1862, when Seymour was elected Governor
of New York, Stonewall Jackson, riding by rail
from Fredericksburg to Richmond, called upon
the people at every station for cheers for the tr
umph of their friends in New York.
We can hardly credit the report that the Dem
ocrats are to hold grand ratification meeting at
Andersonville, Georgia
Will not Miles O'Reilly apply his valuable po-
etical and musical genius to setting the war
speech of the rebel Toombs, of Georgia, to music
The first stanza might read thus:

Come rebs, attend the cry,

day to n one-armed soldier who was turning

stump, " but it isn't over by good deal, to

Summer Friends.
Let your summer friends 20 by
With the summer weather;
Hearts that are true will not fly,
Though the storm should gather.
Summer love to fortune clings;
From the wreck 1t saileth,
Like the bee that spreads its wings
When the honey faileth.
Rich the soil where weeds appear;
Let the false bloom perish /;
Flowers that are more rare and dear,
That you still may cherish.
Flowers Of feeling, pure and warm,
Hearts that cannot wither;
These for thee shall bide the storm,
As the sunny weather.

MuSS at New Orleans.

Naw ORLEANS, Sept. 23.-The trou-
Bile last nj ght originated from man on
the sidewalk shouting for Seymour and
Blair, as the rear of the Radical process
sion passed, shouting for Grant and
ColtaX. The negroes in the procession
rushed for the shoutcr for Seymour and
Blair, who took refuge in confectionc-
ry on the corner of Canal and Bourbon
streets. The attendants commenced clo-
sing the doors, when the negroes de-
molishcd doors, and windows, &c. Indis-
criminate firing commenced, when tho
negroes ran, but returned, and became
involved in row with portion of q
white club, Several of the latter were
hurt. The whole club were unarmed,
except with their torches. The negroes
spread through the second district, de-
molishing the windows of a confcction-
cry, at the corner of Rampant and Peter
street, which they also attempted to set
fire to, pouring oil from their torches
over wood work. The building was
saved by the timely arrival of police
men. One negro was killed. SO far rs
asccrtained number of both colors
were wounded. 1t is stated that several
policemen were slightly injured, There
is very little excitement this morning.

Congress-,

Schenck's session of Congress called
to meet on the Dist was as brief as that
of the Tennessee Supreme Court which
recently assembled at Knoxville. The
following is the result:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Thc Senate
was called to order at II o'clock. Mr..
Anthony offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House
concurring, that the President of the
Senate and Speaker Of the House adj
journ their respective Houses until -
o'clock noon the 10th October, and that
they then, unless otherwise ordered by

respective Houses until the 10th of No
vcmber at II o'clock noon, and that
they then, unless otherwise ordered,
further adjourn their respective Houses
until the lst Monday in December at
II o'clock.
The resolution was adopted, 80 to l.,
Buckalew voting nay.
"A similar resolution was announced
as having been adopted in the House,
which was concurred in, and the Senate
adjourned.

The First Day of October.

BY reference to a list of appointments
In another part of our paper, it will be
seen that the Hon. EDMUND COOPER,
Elector for the State at large, will speak
at Athens on Thursday next, the first
day of October. Mr.. COOPER is among
the ablcst and most accomplished spca-
kers in the country; he was Union
man, consistent and earnest in his de-
votion to the cause from first to last; is
entitled to the confidence and respect of
the thinking men of all parties, and we
trust, that brief as the notice is, there
will be large crowd present to hear
him on the day appointed. More cspc-
cially do we hope that as many MEM
bcrs of the radical party as possible
will be in attendance, as Col. CooPER
has the ability and the disposition to
put them in possession of facts and ar
gumcnts, which, if needed, will do them
much good. Their own orators are in
the habit Of appealing to passion and
prejudice; seldom to their understand
ing. IF they will como out next Thurs.
day and listen to the gentleman named
they will hear very different style OF
speaking.

A Picture of Radical Rule.

Mr.. Pcndlcton, in one of his recent
powerful and convincing speeches, pre-
scented the follwing picture of Radical
rule, and its consequences upon the peo-
pie and their interests. lie said:
"Thc Radicals have not only pcrvcr-
ted our government, but have bankrupt
cd the country. During these three
years of peace we have collected fifteen
hundred and twenty four millions of
dollars. One hundred and twenty four
millions Of this have been paid on ac-
count of the debt. what las 6ccOmc Of
lie rest? Fourteen hundred and twen-
~ millions vanished, who knows where,
in three years! 1t has gone, most of it,
to the "Frecdmcn's Bureau and to the
costly military governments now
kept up in ten States. 1t has gone to
support the constitutional amendments
of Congress, the scheme of negro suf-
frage, and the Unsuitable carpet-baggers
Fifteen hundred and twcnty-four mil
lion dollars! That is more than one
tenth of all the property in the coun-
try-moncy, crops, houses, railroads.
farms, tools and every thing else 3!
Great Britain during these same three
years, spent onc-thirticth and France
one-forticth of her resources. If you
are assessed OH all of it, it amounts to
S34 Al q head, for every one of us. Our
debt under Radical rule exceeds in its
burden that Of any other country"

The New York Herald.

In all editorial in its issue of the 10Th
inst, written, as will be seen by its date,
before the Maine election, took the po-
sition that neither Vermont nor Maine
afforded any indication of the political
sentiment of the people of this great
country, but that this indication was to
come from the States holding elections
in October. Wcquotc from the HerahrS
article rs follows:
The hope of the Democratic party is
i'll movement i'm the Western and
Middle States for change in the policy
OF the government extensive enough
to sweep away all past Republican ma
joritics and turn the great States over
to tho Democrats by overwhelming
votes. Such thing as close contest
is improbable, and hence il is clear that
If this tremendous revolution is to como
ut all it must show itself in the State
elections we have named. In view of
these facts glance at the results in 49,
62, when q similar reaction to that now
predicted set in against the Republican
party, on account of their mismanagc-
mcnt of the war and alleged official eX-
travaganccs and corruption, will be of
interest at this time.
We find, then, that. Vermont. which
led off in the the election of 1862, gave
twenty six thousand Republican ma
iority, being an increase over its majori-
ty for Lincoln in 1860. Maine followed
with thirteen or fourteen thousand
Republican majority. But when the
October elections came Pennsylvania,
which had given Lincoln sixty thousand
majority two years before, turned over
to the Democracy by nearly four thou,
sand majority; Ohio changed its four
thousand majority for Lincoln into six
thousand for the Democratic ticket, and
Indiana, which had given Lincoln TWEEN
ty-four thousand over Douglas, elected
Democratic officers by ten thousand
majority. This was the beginning of
the revolution, and it was followed by
similar results in other great States, so
that had President been elected in
1862 the Democrats would have been
successful.

The Credit of the Government.

The Radicals by their misgovcrnment
have not only endangered the peace of
the country, but endangered its credit.
They have put up the price of gold tif
teen per cent since the war closed in
April, 1865. They have increased the
debt more than SlG0,000,0O0 in three
years, and they have collected in these
years i'll taxes from the people $780,
100000. They keep up q standing army
of $4,000 in time of peace, and an i'm
mense navy for mere show on the Med
itcrranean and i'll far off Asia. They
waste thousands of dollars monthly on
the Freedmcn's Bureau and the military
satrapies in the South. They cXpend
hundreds of thousands of dollars moro
in Acts of Construction,-and all
these things with the great extravaganza
and inefficient Revenue laws of Con-
gress leads to the loss Of credit. We
see it in that depreciation of Govern
mcnt paper which affects every consul
mcr in the land, and which, as during
the wal, makes the cost Of all that the
Government consumes so much greater
than it ought to be. just now, the Gov
ernment is like an individual who
spends vastly more than his income,
and who, no matter what his capital is,
is rushing on to Bankruptcy. The bust
ness man, who should act in the dis
charge Of his duties as Congress acts in
framing laws for the Government,
would be pronounced a fool or mad
man. His credit would sink to zero, no
matter who were his hackers, and so
with Congress. 1t has contrivcd to put
our bonds in the markets of Europe far
below those of Morocco, Brazil, Peru, or
any of the large powers of Europe. If,
then, the credit of the Government is to
be sustained, there must be moro ccono-
my, more practical wisdom. and, most
of ALL such q settlement in the condition
of things at the South as will add vastly
to the productions of the cotton and
Sugar States, and enable them to pay
Sl50,O0O,OOO i'll taxes, where they are
not now able to pay S30,0OO.0OO.

Fearful Riot in Georgia.

We copy the following particulars ola
riot in Georgia from the evening edition
ofthc Atlanta MteUtyonccr Of Tuesday:
AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 2l.-A fearful
riot occurred at Camilla, county scat of
Mitchell County, Georgia, last Saturday.
The following particulars have been
telcg raphcd from cambridge, twenty
four miles from the scene of the riot:
Pierce. the Radical nominee for Con-
grcss, and Murphy, cx-Bureau Agent,
with about two hundred negroes armed
and equipped, started OH Friday for
Camilla, with three weeks provisions,
and boxes of new arms and accoutrc-
monts, their intention being to ovcrewe
the citizens before starting. Some
friendly negroes exposed their plans
and negro courier was dispatched
from Danvillc to inform the citizens
what was going on. A population of
prominent citizens met the mob at tho
church five miles from the town. Tho
Governors proclamation forbidding
armed organizations was read. Tho
mob paid no attention. to it, determined
to march on. Again the dcputation re-
monstrated, cntreating the negroes to
come in without arms and they should
not be molcsted. Their efforts were
fruitless to dissuadc the negroes, and
the mob marched into the town with
banners flying and drums beating. They
now numbered $50, many having joined
them in the route. The mob halted
and clamorcd for o man named Johns.
Johns, in company with DR.. TRULY,
presented himself when II hundred guns
were lcvelled at them, the former be-
ing intoxicated fired and the riot COM
mcnccd, the mob firing at every one
they could see. The citizens, white and
colored, rallied, gathering about fifty
stand of arms. The mob was vigor-
ously attacked and driven back and fled
five miles, losing thirty-tivc killed and
many wounded. The total loss will be
from seventy-tive to one hundred in
killed and wounded. Only five whites
were severely wounded. The mob's
stores and munitions were captured.

Close Quarters,

L. @. Howell, chief clerk in the Gem
eral Land Office, has just returned from
the Plains. During the trip he fell into
the clutches of the Arapahoe Indians,
who were on the war path. They de-
tanned Howell, General Lessig, Survey
or General Of Colorado, and the rest Of
the party for two hours, and pow-wow-
ed in council whether to Stay them or
not. One Of the chiefs finally idcnti-
fled the Surveyor General as an official
of note by buffalo robe he had sold
to him, and thus saved them. Suisse

Public Speaking.

David M. Nelson, Republican Elcctor
for this District, by his own appoint
ment appeared here on Monday to adj
dress the citizens of McMinn county.
He was met by John NJ. Clcmentson,
the Democratic elcctor, and we had a
pretty discussion.
Mr.. Clementson led off in a speech of
one hour and half, in which he pre-
scented bill of indictment against radi-
calism in forcible and impressive
manner. He reviewed Congressional
reconstruction, military dcspotism, the
increase of the public debt in time of
peace, and the reckless expenditure of
the peoples money. His facts and
figures in regard to State expenses were
startling, showing, as they did, beyond
controversy, that the radical party of
Tennessee had in the last three years
recklessly expended over half million
of dollars of the peoples money for
partisan purposes. These facts and
figures, as exhibited and enforced by
Col. Clementson, seemed to make q
deep impression on the people, as well
as upon some members of the Legisla-
ture who were present. Those same
legislators will find it an uphill bust
ness TO explain to the people why they
should be paid their mileage and per
diem Gin gold or its equivalent" while
the people are required to take cur
rency at forty per cent. discount. Is
the servant greater than his MASTER?
Mr.. Nelson followed in a speech of
an hour and a half. He utterly failed
to notice or answer the points in Mr..
Clementson's bill of indictment against
the party he represented. He said it
was unnecessary, and thanked his God
that all that was required to make q
radical speech in East Tennessee was to
"howl rebel" and true to his idea, he
only referred to the "horrors" of the
war, and appealed alone to the passions
and prejudice of the people.
Each of the gentlemen had fifteen
minutes to rejoin. Clementson made
some very happy hits in his reply. The
number of persons present on the occa-
sion was not large, and the speaking
passed off without any unpleasantness.

our own rights should be restored TO
us. With this distinct and unequivocal
pledge to the people through whom
and with whom we can alone EXPECT to
triumph over the common oppressor,
there can be no shadow of doubt as to
the triumphant result of our combined
action. Our own interests and those of
the colorcd citizens being mutual. and
the interests of the Radical adyenturers
being Numerically opposed to both,
this conrsc upon our part is demanded
by every consideration of party cXpcdi-
cncy, common gratitude, justice and
right.
1t it not merely the selfish and hypo-
critical question as to how far the colo
rcd vote may be controlled through the
agency of promise of employment and
wages, by proscriptivc threats, bribery
or intimidation but it is upon tho high
or principle of common justice, that q
DISTINGUISHED people, whose consent
could be obtained to seek the rcstora-
ton of their own liberties through u
people onfranchised, cannot consistently
withhold their consent also, to a propo-
sition which secure to the latter the lib
critics they at present hold in their own
handS.
Tennesscans! Having thus been an
nounccd as active participants in the all
important contest for constitutional lib
erty, we again repeat the appeal to each
individual Democrat, to every neigh
borhood and town and city in the State,
to organize and enter upon the labor of
the day, with industry, constancy and
perseverance,. The time is brief, but
enough is left to crown our effort with
Il glorious triumph in November, if cv-
cry one opposed to Radical rule and
ruin will but raise himself and do his
duty to himself and his country.

Gossip About Grant.

The following is from ''rcliablc@
Washington correspondent:
1t appears that the talk some time ago
about Grants withdrawing from the
Presidential canvass was not without
foundation. 1t seems that during the
month of June, just before he started
West, he was laboring under severe
mental disorder, supcrinduced by the
free use of stimulants. During one of
these attacks Of nervous prostration he
actually wrote letter declining the
contest. He was hurried off to Chcy-
cnne to put q stop to gossip. The story
has leaked out, however, and now re-
ceives the addition that he will with
draw if Indiana and Pennsylvania vote
the Democratic ticket in October
Grant is said to be really conservative
at heart, and is already sick of the radi-
cal company he is compelled to keep.
