Ramarks of Gov. Church.

At recent Democratic demonstration
that came off in New York City, the
largest, perhaps, in the number of people
present that has been seen during the
canvass, the chairman presented Gov.
Church to the audience
Gov. Church denounced in forcible
style the Reconstruction policy of Con-
gress, aud the injury Inflicted by Radical
legislation on the industrial interests of
New York. The State of New York,
said he, pays fifteen millions of dollars,
and the City Of New York one-.hird Of
that amount, which is FIVE millions of
dollars, for the purpose of keeping ten
millions Of people, who are your Gus.
toners, away from you. (AppIause J

You formerly built ships, and put them

for a single moment. The State Of New
York, by its population, which is one

the hands of the general Govern
ment They have commenced taking
the insurance business away from you.
They have organized an immense ma
tional insurance company, and the next
piece of legislation will be like the bank
ing legislation, for the purpose of taxing
the State insurance companies out of
existence. GCheers They have seized
the patronage Of the Government, which
belongs to the Executive. The Senate Of
the United States have seized the control
Of all the patronage of the Government
Of the United States, and they are agi-
tating now a project for taking posses
sion Of the international improvements
Of this country. 1t will be only single
and easy step then to assn me and usurp
the judicial power. See what New York
loses and what the other gains. As to
the original powers conferred upon the
general Government, we stand by the
contract we agree that the general Gov
ernment should have certain specified
and limited powers, and should exercise
those powers. We say each State should
have two Senators. Bot as to the powers
which we never conferred on the general
Governmeut-as to those we never gave
up-we object, we protest against having
our power diluted when they take away
these reserved rights of the States. For
every power which they take away from
the State of New York they dilute your
power fourfold. You have only one
fourth the power you once had. They have
taken away this banking, they have taken
away this insurance, they have taken
away the executive patronage, they con-
template taking away the internal i'm
improvements and the judiciary. What,
then, is left of the State, when all these
powers are taken away2 Not only this,
but they have taken away the power
over the suffrage question. They have
actually exercised that power as to ten
Southern States, and they intend and
threaten to exercise it as to all the
Southern States. !" That's true Now,
when they take new powers-powers not
conferred upon the Federal Government,
you lose fourfold of the power which you
possessed, while the power OF the State
Of Rhode Island is increased two hun
dred and twenty-five fold, and the power
of the State of Massachusetts fourfold the
amount which they originally had.
Therefore, / say that it is for the inter-
est of the people of the State of New
York, and Of all the other great States of
Union, to stand by the Democratic party
in this election, and thereby to protect
their own power and their own inter-
ests. [Cheers.]

shade the despotic excesses in Poland,

(death without talk, as the Able Siezes
expressed it at the condemnation OF
Louis XVI-they intend to make short
work of the South; no talking, but action,
and that quick, decisive and violent. If
you could see the faces of the Radicals
when allusion is made to their being,
possibly, defeated, you will discover the
venom that rage hushes to the face. One
of them said to General McCandless, a
brave soldier Of Pennsylvania: You
say, General, that unless these Radical
excesses stop there will be civil war.

it is to the colored citizens of the South
that the Democrats, their true friends,

not organize societies, raise means and

The Press on ths Elections.
n the New York Herald (Arab).l

FROM tne NeW 4 orh neIbiu NhIbuI.J
The results Of the State elections on
Tuesday clearly indicate the election of
General Grant as our next President by
an overwhelming majority of the popular
and electoral vote of the Union. The
Democrats, early in the canvass, finding
the popular current in Ohio and Indiana
setting in heavily against them, coacen-
trated their available strength upon
Pennsylvania, knowing very we'll that
unless they could save Pennsylvania in
| October theirs was :" the lost cause.
They have made therefore, the most
desperate struggle for the Keystone
| State since the October election OF 1856,
when they carried it by some two thou
sand majority, and thus saved Buchanan
| in November. In this October contest,
however, their deusive State majority
of nine hundred of last year is buried
under the Republican reserves beyond
oil hope of resurrection for at least a
year to come; and "as goes Pennsylya-
MIA so goes the Union.
We say that this loss Of Pennsylvania,
without going further, is the death-blow
to Seymour and Blair. But apart from
this ticket, the Democracy were i'm
PEELED BY another necessity TO leave no
stone unturned to save Pennsylvania.
They knew that the loss of Pennsylvania
in October would in all probability in
volye the loss of New Y ork in November.
The decisive consideration in Seymour
favor in Tammany Hall was that his
name would carry New York-the party,
in any event, would have a solid founda-
ton to build upon for 1872. Now, with
their loss of Pennsylvania, there is every
reason to believe that the forty seven
thousand Democratic majority in the
Empire State last year will disappear 10
November like morning fog from the
face of the sea.
The returns Of these elections Of Tues
day will admit Of no doctoring TO show
possibility for Seymour and Blair in No
yember. The Presidential result is as
certain as any human event in Novem-
Der can be, and the public mind through
ont the country will from this day settle
down upon this conclusion.

It was universally felt and virtually
confessed that the partisans Of Seymour
and Blair must triumph in the State cleo
tions held Tuesday, or abandon all hopes
of success. Every table they have yet
made Of the probable vote for next Presi
dent by States claimed Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Nebraska, as certainly, and
Ohio as probably, for Seymour. The
most ingenious among them could not
make up q list of States expected to
vote for Seymour sufficient to elect him
without including all or the most OF
those above named. They had thus ad-
yertised their followers that they must
carry those States in October or confess
themselves already beaten in the No

policy of the Radical party will in Nc

Grant. 1t is with deep regret and sadness
that we record these convictions. To the
people of Maryland, outside of the office
seekers and the pot-house politicians, the
decision of the Northern States amounts
to nothing. We enjoy at present the rights
and the liberties bequeathed us by our
fathers. But for our oppressed brethren
of the South, we feel the keenest SYM
pathy, and as the late elections in the
North seem to evidence determination
to consign them for years to come to the
despotism under which they now Ian

A THIEF SHOT.

A kinky-haired African, recently par
doned out of the penitentiary by Brown
low, and who halls from somewhere up
the country, wishing to emigrste to some
warmer climate, and having heard that
Memphis was thedarkey's paradise, stole
horse and q carpet-saek, and soon
found himself trying to effect an en-
trance into the residence of Mrs. ShehRn,
on Commerce street in this city, on Sat
urday night. Unfortunate for the mig,
whose name is William Henry, Officer
Ssuerman, Of the upper distric', was
around, and took him away from the
first little job Of work he had found after
coming 30 far from home. William
Henry was locked up until Monday
morning, when, upon being taken cut
for trial, he broke and run. A few well
directed shots, which, we regret to say,
were not quite as well aimed as they
might have been, brought him to the
ground. His wounds were dressed, and
those who know him best fear that he
may survive them long enough, st least,
to visit his friend, the Governor, once
more at Nashville.

Gus railroad companies running Into and
by Memphis, than about the matter in
question, which, like Capt. Lee, he only
touched. Judge Swayne finished after
a fine peroration, by moving that com
mittee of five be appointed TO solicit sub.
seriptions to the movement on hand.
Col. Moore, having been called on to
speak, said he was no speaking man, but
made short and happy address-only
he too wandered off into an attack on
railroads.
These attacks having been made at
the Railroad Companies, Col. j. w. Rob
ertson, Superintendent Of the Mem
phis and Little Rock Railroad, at
the request OF several gentlemen,
replied In most eloquent and glow
ing words, which We regret that time
and space forbid our reporting in full.
He alluded in most eloquent words
to the effect of enterprise and
energy, and cited Atlanta, Ga, rs
an example. He rebutted in every par
ticular the charges so deliberately and
surrsptitiously brought in against rail-
roads and railroad men, completely de-
molishiug all the arguments of the gen.
tlemen who went there prepared to Use
up the railroad interest, and after a most
enthusiastic encomium of Capt. De-
Haven and his plans, sat down amid a
storm of applause.
Mr.. Gates again followed, and said
that he hoped that sort of revival
could be gotten up in this matter, and
proposed that one more effort should be
made to get the citizens together, fully
aroused to the Importance of this subject,
and that as next Monday was the next
regular meeting all present should be re-
quested to attend.
The President then said that the mo.
ton of Judge wayne, which had been
seconded, was before the meeting, and
called for a vote On 1T, whether q COM
mittee of Ave should be appointed or
not.
This was settled unanimously in the
affirmative, and the President appointed
the following gentlemen to serve: DIR.
Watkins, Capt. Lee, Mr.. Hanauer, Mr..
Mahan and M. L. Cochran.
Toe meeting then adjourned to next
Monday.
