II is manifest from HUSSICUTT'S

1t is manifest from HUNNICUTT yester
days appeal for convention Of the Radi-
cal leaders that the great dissatisfaction in
the Radical party, which he insists must
be removed or all's lost, is about the divi-
sion of the Offices. He protests that there
is no hope unless discussions be healed and
discomfort allayed. He takes each division
of the party separately, and tells one,
which he calls "men who have money and
men who hold Offices" that they "think like
"n,admen if they suppose they can carry
"the State in their individual interests
contrary to the wishes and against the
"voting population" He says, with evil
dent malice, "Nor need men suppose be-
"cause they are from the NORTH that they
" can WELD the vote and shape the political
destinies of the State" That is pun
gent, and clear warning that the cohorts
commanded by himself are not at their
command. He then gently apprises the
native Union men " and the negroes that
neither of them can carry the State alone.
But the sermon is especially designed for
the northern adventurers and moneyed
men. They must share the spoils. Without
harmony" says the preacher" (Which
means fair division,) "defeat is not only
probable, but certain"
We warn the carpet-baggers " and in
terlopers generally against the reverend
editor Of the Ne,o Nation. He was an ar
rant seeessionist, and changed his opinions
for no better reasons than those which
brought them here. BY all means, if they
are to be so magnanimous as to admit any
southern man tc share of the spoils, let
them honor some man of purer motives
than their own. Besides, HUNNICUTT claims
for native hypocrisy superiority over the
imported, which is not only an error, but
bit of impudenee which should continue to
be rebuked as it has been!

Gold and Politics.

The sudden advance in gold has set the
partisans to work to make little capltai
ont of it. The Radical press is positive
that the rise is occasioned by the fears
amongst capitalists of a Democratic triumph
in the approaching election. The Demo
Gratis. would care very little about the ie"'o
of moneyed men if they must ARISE from
such apprehension--the more eS'en0,,.
,hooa fcars in that case the more agreeaoie
to the Democrats.
Rut the Radicals know better; they are
only "scurvy politicians" affecting to see
.he THINGS they do not. The Radical
platform, in the matter of the bonds
is precisely the same in effect with the
Democratic. The wealthy see the same
spirit in both, and the fears of the pecunl-
ary world are excited by both in the vio-
lent war for the Presidency now progress
ing.
We may illustrate by scene in Africa
On the plains we may suppose herd OF the
species of deer which are there found IN
large numbers. These represent the tlmld
and fat bondholders. In view is terrific
fight between the Lion and the Tiger, 1he
opposing Presidential combatants. now
the deer are sure that no matter how the
struggle terminates they must suffer. AS
it progresses their peril is increased and
gold is at premium. Your old bucks and
lame deer will give anything for safe re-
treats in sight of the devourers
This is the truth, and the apprehension OF
the popular storm against the bondholders'
no matter who is elected, will make gold very
stiff till after the election. Then, should
the victorious party show little forbear-
ance, the Jeshuruns of the North may again
venture upon the purchase of bonds.

y COMPARISON THAT is ODIoUs.-1n a
speech lately delivered by him at Indiana
polls, CARL ScHuRz defended the policy of
comforting the right Of suffrage upon the
negro Immediately after he was freed from
slavery, and, by way of illustration, said ::
"Supposing there had been war in
Germany against the great landholderS in
Mecklenburg, and that one of the conge-
quences had been the liberation of their
laborers IA kind of serf), would it be sound
policy to leave all political power exclu-
siyely to the landholder ?"
This is not at all complimentary to the
Germans. A man who could perceive no
difference in these cases, and can draw no
distinction between the Teutons and the
Central Africans, must be poor stick to
enlighten any one, and not at all fitted to
defend the character and GLAZING Of German
adopted citizens,

There is much restlessness in Europe con-
corning American securities, and United
States bonds are feelingthe pressure" The
popular disposition in this country has been
courted by both the great parties to some
extent, and the foreign fnanciers are fear
tul Of Reputation. The determination to
pay the national interest in greenbacks is
partial Reputation in the eyes of financial
men; and when reputation begins they
don't know where it will end. Tins We
find bond-holders in Europe getting rid of
United States bonds, and they decline in
value. There must be a large number re-
turned upon this country; and as gold will
have to be sent out to pay for them, the
demand for that article will increase, and
the ruling rates be high.

RE.s'APTsRE; or HERSDON. THE
ALLEGED SEDUGER AND
MURDERER.
THE PRISONER IN JAIL AND iRONED.
ORANGE COURTHOUSE, Va, }

August &, 1868.
Rev. Reuben D. Herndon, the alleged
seducer and murderer of Miss Lumsden,
who escaped from the county jail Of Orange
about two weeks ago, was yesterday re-
captured, and is again in confinement and
heavily ironcd.
After he broke Jail, the accused very
foolishly fingered in the county, and, in
deed, was seen in the vicinity of the spot
where the foul crimes with which he is
charged are said to have been committed
His poverty probably prevented his taking
advantage Of the railroad to get out of the
way. When the reward of $500 was offered
by the Governor, two parties of young men
Get out after him, and both we're confident
of his ultimate apprehension. One party
once entered the house of his sisterin "
only few moments after he had made his
exit by another door. The other found in
the woods a pair Of shoes which were iden-
titled as those worn by the fugitive when
he broke jail. Both thought they were
"hot on the scent" but it seems that he was
caught through another instrumentality.
On Wednesday morning at about day
break negro living a few miles from Ire
williams depot, in Louisa county, was &C
costed by white man, who asked the way
to the house of a Mr.. Grady. The negro
obliged the stranger, but his suspicious be-
ing aroused by something, he communicated
an account of the incident to Mr.. James
Voolfolk, magistrate who lives in the
neighborhood. This gentleman immedi-
ately summoned two friends, and the three
went together TO Grady's house at about
o'clock in the morning. The stranger
spoken Of by the negro vas there, in bed
and asleep. He answered to the descrip-
ton of Herndon. The magistrate woke him
up and said, " You are my prisoner" The
stranger wanted to know by what authority
he was arrested, and the magistrate replied
that he would take the responsibility. He
then asked if he was "to be taken to
Orange Jail" "a remark by which the sus-
picion that he was Herndon was confirmed.
The prisoner was at once placed in a
buggy and driven TO Orange Courthouse,
Il distance of more than fifteen miles, reach
ing this place at about P. NJ. He pre-
sented truly forloru appearance-hag-
gard, thin, shoeless, foot-Sore, and hungry.
Arriving at the Jail, he asked for some
thing to eat, and stated to the bystand-
ers that he had had only five meals since
his escape. His request was of course COM
piled with, and he ate "a hearty supper. He
was disposed to be communicative, and
stated that he spent his first night on Willis'S
mountain, near the Courthouse. He would
probably have given full account of his
proceedings had not kindly-disposed by
stander advised him to hold his tongue.
The prisoner is now in another cell and
chained to the floor, awaiting his arraign-
ment before the County Court at the August
term. PuRSEII.

The Herald and the Presidency.

The editor of the New York Herald is the
genuine harper who plays upon "thou-
sand strings" A minstrel of Scotland,
- old " but not "intirm,'' with withercd
cheeks and tresses gray" his fingers stray
among the strings, and we have every vari-
alton Of which such a MISUNDERSTANDING
instrument is capable.
His latest performance is upon the Pre-
sidential nominations. While those of one
party were alone in the field, his song was
Il " dies ire" to the ticket and the party
When the opposing ticket was presented, lie
changed bis instrument to new strain. He
damned the Radical party, but praised ite
nominee for President. And now he pours
into the ear attentive to his strange fam
tastes yet another variation by denouncing
the Vice Presidential nominee of the Radi-
Gals, and recommending that the people
take the Radical candidate for the Presi-
dency and the Democratic candidate for
the Vice-Presidency-GRANT and BLAIR.
The song Of the Tickets" is capable OF
other variations-such. as CoLFAX and
BLAIR, SEYMOUR and GRANT, GRANT and
SEYMOUR, BLAIR. and CoLrAx, and SO on.
The venerable Scotch harper will probably
thrum through all of them. He is min
strel of infinite varieties, except that the
song on the BENNETT ticket" is always
the same.

The black man, as he stands now, free
man. at the South, is but laborcr, utterly
unacouaintcd with business and laws, and
any Kind Of art above the simplest mampu-
lat;ons of ordinary industry. lie has no
administrative talents, little forccastc, the
smallest degree of provident care, and Is
temrted into extravaganza most easily ne
is ordinarily gentle and generous; but
crcdulous, surcrstitious, easily misled, and
readily inveigled into plots and schemes to
rratify aninosities implanted by designing
persons. While no great portion Of men
are naturally inclined to industry, the
black race are less so than any save the In
dian. Yet, if let alone, and made content
by kind treatment, and directed by good
discipline and rules, he is good 'aborer-
valuable in the field.
This is the freedman Of the South. 1t Is
plain that such n man must lean upon
others able to take care Of public order ana
direct wisely and prosperously private en-
tcrprise and industry. The question is,
iShouN he rely for his sort Of assistance and
protection upon people ocho reside in another
part of the Union, or upon those amongst
1rho1n he Tires What interest have those
neoule at the North who desire to contro!
him in his conduct or his welfare beyond
his vote ut the polls i? None. What can
they do to better his physical condition I!
Nothing. They have no occupation for him,
and they propose to give him nothing.
They only Undue his mind with hostility
towards the white people who are his
ncighbors, because that is necessary to
make him vote as they wish him. The
phlanthropist, so called,-th fanatic, in
fact-who obtrudes himself upon the negro
may have friendly motives towards him !:
but his ofEciousncss arouses the same I'M
kind feelings in the breast Of the colored
-isE4aur- towards southern whites that are in
cited by the northern politician and car
pct-baggcr.
The interference Of all these people only
brings evil upon the black man, whose well
fare they profess 20 desire. They ALLEVIATE
him from the only people who can really
make him comfortable. They beget strife
between him and his sincere friends-they
who understand his disposition well and
know how to satisfy his wants-and who
are, moreover, sincerely disposed TO afford
him every opportunity for improving his
condition and increasing his knowledge.
As long as the outsiders, who are utterly
ignorant of the black mans true character
and whorcally have no idea of doing anything
for his permanent physical benefit and COM
fort, interfere between him and his own
southern White ncighbor, there must be
alienation and want Of harmony between
them: in other words, strife-a strife
which may not be bloody, but yet disas-
trous to both. Their mutual interests mus,
suffer by want Of cooperation and harmony
in the daily economy of life. Production
must be as it has been-vcry much cur
tailed and there must be scarcity OF
money and n scarcity of provisions. Want
and distress must follow, and upon whom
vii! it fall heaviest! Upon the black man
who is without means and without home

NORTH ATTENDING To.-The southern
Democrats should take care not to place
upon their electoral tickets any disqualified
man. The fourteenth amendment is valid,
according to Radical teachings, and will be
enforced against any SEYMOUR elector who
is affected by it. The Charleston Mercury
calls upon the Democrats of South Carolina
to respect the amendment go far as this
election is concerned.
The Radicals need have no fears on this
score. They can make any rebel an cleo
tor, and Congress will remove his disabili-
ties.
