A RADICAL CRIES FOR RELIEF.

One Doctor NEWTON ]. NEWELL, late member of
the so-called Reconstruction Convention, and at
present engaged in the disreputable business of
seeking to represent people in the Legislature
who have rejected him and his party by an over
whelming majority, has returned to this office a
copy of tho Intgencer with the following endorse

Now, we don't object to his spelling, for that's
natural with men Of his transcendent genius and
associations. But We beg to inform the aforesaid
that no account was kept against him. and if he is
not too anxious for relief in the premises we would
like to send him an occasional copy, just for him
to know that the paper has survived this terrible
blow, and that the RAIDS are properly remembered
in these columns. Here is q couplel in Lomey

PERSONAL.

R. d. STOKES, ESQ.,, editor Of the Asheville
tN. c.) News, was in town on Monday last. and
did the honor of friendly CALI We were
pleased 10 observe that the bracing atmosphere
and healthy region of Ashevile were assisting our
old friend to sustain his youth and beauty, and also
to learn from him that the people of that section
we're extending an ample support to his excellent
journal, which is the best newspaper ever publish
ed in Western North Carolina. Mr.. STOKES is
the authorized agent of an immigration society
located in Richmond, and visited Anderson to con-
fer with Gen. HARRISON, the President Of the
Blue Ridge Railroad it being the purpose of that
society to colonize emigrants upon the line Of this
railroad. We hope to give further information on
this point hereafter.
Hon. JAMES L. ORR, now Ex-Governor of this
State arrived home on Saturday last We learn
that the Governor will only remain few days,
however, as he expects to visit the great North

ADDRESS TO. TIE. PEOPLE.

Hon. JAMES L. Orr has issued an address to
the people Of South Carolina, embracing review
of his administration for the past three years, and
defending the policy he has pursued since the pass
age of the Reconstruction Acts. Like everything
eaanasing from him, it is an able paper, and or
thy of its author. While not agreeing with his
course in many particulars, are not disposed to
scriticiss his conduct, and shall certainly not i'm
lpugn his motives, believing that he was actuatcd
by dosire to preserve peace and harmony in the
State History will accord to him every justice,
and ON his retirement from the perple1ing cares
of Office, it would be manifestly improper to assal
him, now that he is placed beyond the influence of
public opinion. This address of Gov. ORR will
appear in our next issue.

OUR OUTSIDE PAGES.

The great length of Gov. ORR's message to the
Legislature precludes thepossbility of our placing
the whole of it before eur readers in to-days is
sue We have, therefore, selected somo of the
most important portions for this issue, and expect
to devote. as much space TO- this important docu-
ment next week.
The speech. of Gov. SEYMOUR on taking the
chair as permanent President of the National
Democratic Convention cannot fail to elicit the
plaudits of our people. Now, that he is The STAN
darL-bearer of the Democracy, these uttcrances
prior TO a nomination so fatteringly tendercd are
of the greatest import, and we trust that every
reader will give them earnest perusal. The
platform upon which the party has entered the
Presidential contest viii be found accompanying
the speech Of Gov. SEYMOUR, ard is one Of the
most admirably conceived enuncation of princi-
Piles; within our knowledge. The ring of the true
metal is heard, and there are no uncertain intona-
tions. Bold, straightforward and manly in every
respect, the Radical party is arraigned for corrup
tious and abuses and departure from the origi-
nal 9Mtk Of our fathers. Upon this platform, the
Democratic party can enter with spirit into the
campaign, and by earnest effort and the hearty CO.
operation of all men opposed to the destruction of
our republican theory will beat back the waves of
fanaticisnl, and bring the government safe and
enharmed from the fiery furnace into which it has
been plunged BY reckless demagosucs.
An editorial from the Phdcnx, commenting upon
the action of the Legislature in refusing to allow
the Anderson members TO qualify and take their
seats, and covering q neatly drawn paper from
Mcssrs MooRE and WILSON, will also be found
upon our fourth page to-day. Besides these in
terestng articles, there are others of u misccla-
neous character.

cccdings of the National Democratic Convention,
which adjourned on Thursday last after busy
and harmonious session of five days. Three days
were spent in ballotting for candidates. and on the
twenty second ballot, HoRATIo SEYMOUR, Of New
York. was nominated unanimously for President.
On the first ballot for Vice President, FRANK P.
BLAIR, Jr., of Missouri was chosen without oppo-
sition The result was received with immense ap-
pluso and caused great enthusiasm. The closing
scenes of the Convention were pleasant and agree

SEYMOUR AND BLAIR.

The nominations made by the Democratic Con-
vention in New York gave universal satisfaction 10
the members of that body and we have every rea-
son to believe that they will be equally welcomed
throughout the length and breadth of the land
IIoratio Seymour is distinguished statesman
and an accomplished gentleman. Born of one of
the best families of New York he has for thirty
years been prominent in the politics of that State,
and twice held the highest office i'll the gift of her
people, without once condescending to those elee-
-tioueering tricks by which such lionours are too
often won. He has long been one of the recog
nized leaders of the Democracy of the United
Sates and has ever stood firm by the principles of
constitutional government opposing the Lincoln
war from the beginning, and doing all in his pow
er to bring about peaccable solution Of the diff
Guilty.
Frank P Blair belongs TO family whose name
occurs often in the political history of the United
States during the last forty years Differing with
Seymour the lie served IN the United States
Army and rose TO the rank of Maj ajor-General.
But that his principles are sound on the great
question of the day, is established by the follow
ing extract from one of his letters recently pub
lshed:
"There is but one way to restore the Govern
ment and the Constitution, and that is for the
President elect declare these acts null and void;
compel the army TO undo Its usurpaiions at the
South, dsperse the carpet-bag State governments;
allow the white people to reorganze their own
governments, and elect Senators and Representa-
tives The House of Representatives will contain
t. majority Of Democrats from the North aud they
will admit tho Representatives elected by The white
people of the South, and with the cooperation Of
The President it will not be difficult to compel the
Senate to submit once more TO The obligations OF
the constitution. 1t will not be able to withstand
the public judgment, if distinctly invoked and
clearly expressed on this fundamental issue, and
it is the sure way TO avoid all future strife to put
the issue plainly to the country"

tribution to the State archievcs presented to
the Legislature. IL comprises succinct general
review of the condition of AFFAIRS material and in
dusrial existing in the State, and in addition
to the inesimable advantage Of such document
to inexperienced Legislators such as now govern
the State the future historian will be oided by its
statistics to present striking view to posteriiy of
our real situation in these troublous times. Con-
sidered in this light alone, Gov. ORR is entitled to
preparation of this document. Accompanying the

Indian War.

Gen. Carr, while marching with
two companies Of colored cavalry,
under Col. Carpenter, was attacked
by Indians, on the morning of tho
18th ult., at Beaver Creek, Kansas,
sixty miles below the trail LEADING
from Fort Wallace to the Republi-
can river. The command was first
attacked at sunrise, aud the Indians
speedily dispersed, having failed TO
stampede Gen. Carr's stock, which
seemed TO be the object of the at
tack. After marching few miles.
Geu. Carr suddenly found himself
surrounded by force of three hun
dred savages. He formed breast.
works of the wagons aud grain sacks
and a severe action took place. re-
sulting in 4 loss of nine Indians
killed and about thirty wounded.
Gen. Carr's loss is reported at three
men wounded and three horses
killed.
Finding the Indians were too
stiOuS loh hlHi NuTF TetfeuteQ TO
Fort Wallace, where he was re en- .
forced by seven companies of tho 5th
U. s. Cavalry. He again advanced,
and on the 9th ult. attacked the In.
dian town, killing ten warriors, woun.
ding great many, besides killing
and capturing eighty ponies aud a
large number of teppes, The Indi-
ans threw away most of their winter
supplies, and fed in great confusion
toward the Republican river. The
latest intelligence from the Indian
seat Of war states that Gen. Carr was
in hot pursuit Of the sayaees. and
Generals Bradley aud Brisbin was
moving with infantry aud cavalry
down the Republican to cut them of.
Colonel Bankhead, with some infant
ry aud Col. Carpenters cavalry, was
reported to be near Big Timbers, on
the Republican. General Sheridan
seems to be prosecuting the Indian
war with his usual vigor, and will
doubtless soon clean out the country
between the two railroads, and com
pei the Indians to go upon their res.
0rVatiOns and behave themselves.
