Political Phases In the South-The Negro
Element.

SOUtu-TEe
Element.
Our newly erected fellow citizens Of African
descent appear to be turning the tables nicely
on the radicals and radical carpet-baggers.
At Raleigh, N. c., for example, special train
of cars from the southeastern part of the
State brought up to the State Democratic Con-
vention club of democratic negroes in COM
pany with number of delegates. We hear of
similar movements throughout all the South of
the colored people fiocking TO the democratic
standard, and should not be surprised to see
general stampede from the radicals and to
the democrats in the Presidential and Con-
gressional elections. All the signs of the
times point to such result. II is just what
we have anticipated and predicted. The
negroes begin to see that the radicals have
cheated them. Instead of getting the lands
and property Of the whites by wholesale
system of condscation and transfer to them
selves, as promised, the negroes find the
radical Northern adventurous and carpet
baggers are only after their labor and votes
These radicals have shown the cloven foot,
have shown they care nothing about the
negroes and that all they want is to use the
poor Africans to make money and get the
Offices. What more natural, then, than that
these negroes should turn to their old masters
and listen to the friendly voice of those among
whom they were born and with whom their
future interests and welfare are identified?
This growing and general detection of the
negroes from the radicals is creating division
and a great deal of excitement among that
people. AT first, as we said, they were nearly
oil going with the radicals now colored demo-
cratic clubs and organizations are springing up
all round. OF course those who still adhere to
the radicals are very bitter and hostile. AT Ra-
leigh they made riotous demonstrations for the
purpose Of mobbing the negro democratic club;
but their object was defeated by the temperate
and moderate conduct Of the white people and
through Governor Holden calling out the mill
tary. Amid all this excitement and riotous
conduct Of the radical negroes the greatest
enthusiasm in favor Of the Convention and the
democrats prevailed. To show the wisdom
and moderation Of the democrats, both white
ana Diack (Wno, oil course were in large
majority there at the time), we notice that
when radical senator and carpet-bagger
named Estes tore down Autograph picture of
Seymour and Blair which was posted in the
Marlborough House nobody chastised him for
his conduct, though many democrats Witnessed
il. This shows the democrats to be as mode
rate as they are earnest. They are bent on
carrying the election, and will not be provoked
to violence by the outrages of the radicals.
They are determined not to give the radical
press chance of bowling at them and calling
them incurable rebels. We call the atten-
ton Of the radical organs to this admirable
and forbearing conduct of the Southern white
people, in contrast with that of the radical car
pet-baggers and their deuded tools among the
poor negroes. This is one of the recent phases

Reorganization Of the City Democracy.
Ever since Tammany Hall moved from It's
historic democratic quarters under the shelter
ing wing of the Pewter Mug and the congenial
purlieus surrounding it, where democracy
maintained its throne for so many years in all
the pride of its time-honored principles and
success-for success is, after all, the most
potent principle-there has been a general dis
satisfaction brewing among the democrats in
the different wards. The present ring which
governs Tammany has become too aristocratc
in its notions since it took up its quarters in
the sumptuous regions of Fourteenth street.
Under the splendid management Of Tweed,
Sweeny q Go. the Wigwam has become the
cynosure Of all eyes-imperial, indeed, In mag
nilcence-but 1t does not content the hearts of
the democratic rank and file. They pine for the
old associations, the old leaders and the old
times. This feeling of dissatisfaction with the
management of the city government under
Tammany control is spreading rapidly, not
only among the democrats, but among the
taxpayers, who are, very naturally, getting
tired of seeing the expenses Of the municipal
government going up from seven millions to
seventeen millions or more within few years
and having to put their hands in their pockets
to pay the difference The result Of this dis
contented feeling is coming to head. This
appears TO be favorable time for small
revolution in the democratic party in this
city, and we should not be surprised to see
initiatory meetings called by the different ward
politicians next week to inaugurate change
in tactics of which probably the rulers OF the
party are not aware. Several attempts have
been previously made to dethrone King Tam
many. Fernando Wood tried IL with fierce
assault and Mozart thunder, but somehow his
former character was SO bad that be failed
utterly. The most dangerous opponent Tam
many had was Miles O'Relly, and he came
nearer to smashing IL up than any one else.
But poor Miles Is gone his song, his wit,
his political saQacitv have potency no more;

the shadows Of Cypress Hills have embalmed
and enshrined them all. There is no head to
the opposition to Tammany dictation now, but
the democratic masses appear to be taking the
matter into their own hands, and they will
probably reorganize the party in the various
wards by succession of meetings, at which
the quondam leaders will have little, If any,
weight

Violence of the Pnrtisan Press.

The political campaign is producing its usual
fruits in the partisan press. Vulgarity and
indelicacy are the controlling elements of such
party journals as the Tribune and the World.
The characters of the respective candidates
for the Presidency are dealt with in these
journals without the slightest regard for the
amenities Of life or the dignity of journal
calling Mr.. Seymour a liar and insinuating
that he is everything that is bad and dis
honorable, except calling him thief, and that,
we may presume, from the stereotyped style OF
the radical organ, which is by no means dis
tinguished for the elegance of its diction is yet
to come. On the other hand we find the
World stigmatizing General Grant as a drunk
ard, and insinuating that he never was
soldier in the true and honorable sense of the
word, but simply butcher, whose reputation
was established upon the needless sacrifice Of
human life. 1t is not to be wondered at that
such tone as this, emanating from papers
which are supposed to be the leading organs
of the different parties, should utterly democrat
ize the small fry of the country press, who
think they are serving the purposes Of their
party by initiating their metropolitan models.
1t is true that the Tribune may attempt to
justify itself by assuming that it is necessary
to meet an imaginary ''Brick Pomeroy," of
whose existence we have no knowledge, with
that individuals weapons of abuse and vul-
ganty. 1t may be true, also, that the demo-
IL Ind ~ %N I,
same imaginary Brick in the use of low,
offensive language and the exercise of bad
taste, lest its interests should be interfered
with by the establishment Of paper in the
metropolis that may excel it in abuse of
its political opponents. But it is clear
party organs has been communicated to
the party press all over the country, and
hos produced O most lamentable effect upon
Journalism, which all respectable people must
deplore. 1t is just this spirit, engendered by
the partisan papers here in the centre of our
civilization, which brings about such disgrace
full scenes as that reported to have occurred at
GAINESVILLE, ILL.,, the other day, where General
Grant is said TO have been struck in the face
by ruffian. The statement may not be true,
because party bitterness is fruitful of invention,
especially during the campaign fever; but if
the incident did occur, or it Mr.. Seymour were
to be similarly assailed by political opponent,
such acts are equally attributable to the vio-
lent language Of the partisan press in this city,
like the Tribune and the World, which set
dangerous example to their country colleagues
and help to infame the public mind by appeal
ing to its worst passions. All such denuncia-
tory style Of writing which assails the personal
characters of public men should be condemned.
II is weak argument at the best, and must
often hurt the assailant, while 1t invariably
demoralizes public sentiment.

France Delighted and Exc,,ed.

Napoleon's return from his temporary re-
tirement at Plombieres to the active duties OF
executive life at Paris and the dispersion OF
the students near the Sorbonne by force, have
been followed by two grand pageants, and
France is again enthusiastic, delighted and
excited.
The Emperor reviewed the National and Inn
perial Guard at Paris yesterday, when a
magnificent" military spectacle was presented.
Fifty-two battalions maneuvred in presence
of the Empress, the Prince Imperial, Lord
Napier, of Magdala, and ''vast multitudes" Of
people who thronged the streets of the city,
which were made radiant with banners, flags
and sunshine. The army, the Emperor,
Eugene, the Imperial Prince, the first soldier
Of England, flags banners, fine weather and
q review, all in one day, make a glorious
opportunity" for the French people. Amid
the hustle and noise they may not have heard
that the government triumphed over the editor
of a popular daily newspaper in Paris, who
was sentenced to Jail for year and to pay
fine of ten thousand francs just as the review
was being held. lu
Is ''the empire peace?" Is Napoleon pre-
pairing to round off Germany by the annexa-
ton of the Iberian Peninsula, and thus ''fank"
the legislative opposition, or is the opposition
becoming stronger and war necessity?

that has set in will sweep over the Southern

next November left out in the cold.

A New York Politician in the Wrong Place


The New York Democratic State Central
Committee, which assembled in session in
Utica on Thursday, expressed its sense of
the loss which the party sustained toy
the sudden death of Peter Cagger in words
suitably expressive of their high estimate OF
his services, and then proceeded to fill up the
position made vacant in the organization by
the melancholy event by unanimously appoint
ing Mr.. William Cassidy, of the Albany Argus,
Secretary to the Committee.
The politicians are, for the most part, the
best judges of their own affairs, doing things
as they will "suit, so it is rarely we under
take to advise them but in this instance we
must say that Mr.. William Cassidy, consider
ing the work which he has performed for the
democrats from early youth to the present hour,
stands forth just now as New York politician
in the wrong place. The Democratic State
Central Committee should at its next meeting
nominate Mr.. Cassidy for Governor of the
State of New York. Let the members make
the thing ''square" Immediately. Instead Of
being corporal for few days, Mr.. Cassidy
should be commissioned full general raised
from the ranks.
