A CARPET-BAGGER MAKES A Con-
SENTATIVE SPEECH. In New Orleans,
recently. q white radical, hitherto
regarded as the personification of all
that is most Questionable to the
Southern whites, and recently dele
gate from dissatisfied Republicans to
Washington, was invited to address
them, and his speech was, in sub
stance, as follows:
'.My friends, I am carpet-bagger.
I admit it. I have been among you
for some time, and have never ceased
to advocate your cause in the press
of the North-in the three leading
Republican newspapers of New
York. Washington and Philadelphia.
But 1 am going to leave you. We
are all going to leave you, and you
will soon be alone. Ny advice to
You is to mite yourselves to those
whose favor it is your interest to
secure. Re gniasd by those who
alone can furnish You with work and
food and clothing. Join yourself to
the people of the South. We are
going. We cannot find you work to
support you. Your interest lies with
those who can."

Affairs In Washington.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-The
Tennessee delegation had prolong-
ed interview with the President to-
day. The President. referred the
delegation to recent. orders limiting
the Executive power, but assured
them that every power authorized by
the Constitution and laws, would ba
used to secure freedom of ballot,
without interference from State or
Federal troops. The President takes
the ground that the Constitution for
bids the maintenance of standing
armies in any State; that the Act Of
1865, disbanding and forbidding the
militia and volunteer force, is abso-
lutte in the South; TINT militia duty
is incumbent upon, every citizen;
that it is an emergency force, subject
to be called from the plow or loom at
any moment, and from which no
citizen can escape; but that stand
ing army of paid troops in any State,
unless called for and controlled by
Federal authority. is repugnant to
the Constitution and laws. Every
power of Government will be used to
put down standing armies, of paid
troops. ~"
1t is generally conceded that there
will be no September session of Con-
gress, as it will be too iate to arm the
Southern militia and there being no
other business in view. A"1

The Round Table says that recent
Investigations reveal the fact, that the
coast of New Brunswick, Prince Ed
wards Island, New Jersey, and n
portion of the Eastern Atlantic
shore, are gradually uprising, while
those of the Bay of Fundy and
Greenland are slowly sinking.
Shonld this phenomenon continue
for ten centuries, the map of the
American continent would, in 1900,
present an entirely different appear
ance. The Hudson's Bay and Jersey
shores would become fruitful valleys,
with countless inland seas. Where
now the banks of Newfoundland lie,
there would then be peninsulas con-
nected with the mainland, as the
banks of st. George are Mt present.
The passage from ireland to America
would then only take four days.
The whole Atlantic coast-line of the
United States would be advanced as
far as the bend made by the Gulf
stream, ind the small islands, banks
and rocks of the Bahamas would fuse
into larger islands, resembling those of
the West India group.

AN ENGLISH OPINION. The London
Cosmopolitan says:
''The radicals have had their day,
and done as much mischief rs the
country will suffer. It is now the
turn of the conservatives and Demo-
crats-the only party whose princi-
ciples, old as the Constitution and as
sacred-are able to preserve the
Union without second civil war,
and to save it from the manifold evils
which the first has brought along
with it. The time is ripe for re-
action against tho sham philosophers
and malignant philanthropists ond
niger r-worshippers, like Ben. Butler,
Wendell Phillips and Thaddeus
Stevens, and all the. othor charlatans
and mountebanks who, untaught and
unwarned by tho lessons of history,
sought to reproduce in the new world
tho villainies and horrors Of the old,
and to emulate to the extent of their
fangs and the volume of their venom,
the doings of Robespierre, st. Just,
Couthon. and other poisonous spawn
of the French revolution. America
has had more than enough of such
tormentors; and longs, as Ireland
did, in the olden day, for saint like
st. Patrick to make an end of them.
We fervently hope and implicitly be-
lieve that st. Seymour will be the
man to do it, and that all She black
snakes in question, each with woolly
head, will, at his blessed advent, like
the toads in the ballad, Commit
(politicaD suicide to save themselves
from slaughter" ,''t

day, an assault on Ruby, jot-black
jewel from Afric's sunny fountains,

tearing therefrom sundry patches of
wool. This being in turn composed,
in comes the fierce Bledsoe, who
makes delegate Wright bleed so, by
n miscellaneous pounding, that that
Wright is deeply wronged. Tableau--

FACTS FOR FARMERS AND LABoR1Na
MEN TO STUDY.-If farmer, during
the course of year, has bought $500
OF goods and groceries, he has paid,
in making the purchase. at least $500
in taxes. The banker gets his income
tax from his tlepositors. They get
theirs from the men with whom they
deal. Labor pays it all. The crime
Of Jacobin financial policies is that
the people are taxed for the benefit
of classes. Bond holders have So, 000,-
600, on which they receive ah income
of six per cent. in gold. They pay
no tax. The national banks are un-
necessarily paid by the Government
$18, ZOO, 900 yearly. Most manufac-
turers are exempted from taxation,
and the country is taxed, for their
benefit, $163, 100000 in gold-the
amount derived from customs in the
year ending on the 1st of June.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES. are
already many assurances of victory
for the Democratic and constitutional
principle candidates the approaching
November.
First-The Democratic party are
united, the first time in ten years,
and the acccssions to the party from
tho Old Line Wings and Conservative
Republicans are very marked and
Influential.
Second-The country is weary of
war and conflict in time of peace.
The country prays for rest, and the
people for that peace and quiet
which never can be obtained so long
as the Jacobin party are in power.
Third-The only sound hope for
business men in the future, and for
the full restoration Of the Uni N, is
in the success of the Democratic no.
minations. Democratic success
means not alone constitutional liber-
ty, equal taxes and better state of
feeling and business, but it means
that confidence in republican institu-
tions which has not been felt in ten
years.
Fourth-The Jacobins are divided.
They call each other hard names;
have no confidence in each other;
have nominated their candidates on
the sole ground of expediency; and
have no bond of union but the weak
and miserable bond of hostility to
the Democratic party.
Finally, the success of the Demo-
cratic party means the reduction of
the standing army one-half at least.
and saving thereby of $50, 900, 900
per annum. 1t means, also, reduced
taxes, greater economy and stricter
accountability to the people. The
moro its candidates and platform are
studied, the moro popular they will
prove.
