The great bulk of the GRANT Tanners in
Sc. Louis, after inviting all the Republican
organizations of that city to join them In
procession on Saturday night, kicked
against allowing the intelligent contra
bands y although voters, to make part and
parcel of the great Radical show.
In this city the colored men were given
TO understand that it would nos do for
th ,m to show themselves as jealous Re-
publicsns until the day of election, for If
they did, the Democrats would shout
nioocr," and it might prevent many Re-
pubiicans from lending their countenance
to the great parade of Friday night last.
This proves that the party leaders that pro-
fess such love for the negro, aud so fixed
q discrimination to give them all the polit-
ical rights they themselves enjoy, are
guilty of rank hypocrisy. They
are willing to receive negro votes,
although given against both the law and
the plain reading of the State Constitu-
tion, but will not, dare not, allow them
even 20 march in the rear of their process
sion, for fear that Democrats win ridicule
them. The Congressional representatives
Of that party have repeatedly voted to
force negro equality upon the people OF
the Southern States-a measure repudiated
BY every Northern community to whom
the question of negro suffrage has been
submitted. Yet, while they wish to force
white men out of the South, while they
fellowship with the negro at the polls, and
vote to do the same thing in Ohio, they
refuse the poor ..intellignt contraband''-
OF the sbetter race of mankinu,' who, in
I'm their speeches they proclaim to be
,,sda and brother the right to march
with them and carry a lantern or a torch,
In procession to which all are invited
who oppose the Democracy. Away with
such arrsnt hypocrisy. .s-iz22

FIVE CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.
On the night of the 31st ultimo, the
dwelling house of Robert Ravill, in
the township of Pierson, Montcalm
County, was burnt to the ground,
with its contents and five children,
aged from four to fourteen years.
The fire occurred about midnight,
and was occasioned by putting ashes
in the wood-box.
At the time of the fire, Mr.. Ravill
was absent from home, and the house
was occupied by his wife, q man and
his wife, and the seven children of
Mr.. Ravill. The mother barely es-
capped with her infant, and the eldest
boy jumped from the chamber win
dow.
The charred remains of the children
were taken from The smoking embers
on the following morning and in
tered. The father, who is a miller
by trade, was absent at the mill at
the time, and his grief on learning
the terrible death of his children was
most agonizing. The mother has
lost her reason in consequence Of the
dreadful event. The remains were
so burned, that they could not be
recognized except by the size.

Mr.. EDITOR: I was struck with a
fable, which I read the other day in
a French book. I send you free
translations Of it, wondering if your
readers will apply it as did:
a vessel, laden with great many
monkeys, had just arrived in port.
The cargo promised ready sale. for
monkey-tricks are amusing to old and
young. The owners of the rare i'm
portation had gone to town to an
nounce the arrival Of these pets, and
the sailors had likewise gone ashore
after their tedious voyage, SO that
none but the monkeys were left on
board. Monkeys are always up to
tricks, and so they were then. An old
baboon collected his brethren and
addressed them in the following
manner:
"Gentlemen, have formerly lived
among men, and know what treat
ment we have to expect from them;
they will tie us around the body, i'm
pose upon US many and cruel hard
ships; if you love liberty as much as
l do, 'you will not fail to embrace an
opportunity which is offered US now
to break the inevitable chains of
slavery, by taking hold of the ship
and sail back to our native lands.
Having watched the sailors frequent
ly, / am fully conversant with the art
of directing vessels course; / will
be your pilot, and you shall be the
sailors-are you agreed ?" Their
united response was loud Gathering
for liberty, liberty!
They went Immediately to work,
set sail, and wind and weather favor
ed for o season. The watchful pilot
informed his crew that he saw o
storm approaching: but bade them
not to feel uneasy, as he would safely
guide them. He had spoken truly,
as regards the storm, for Its fury
broke loose upon the monkey crew;
waves roared and tossed the vessel,
30 that in spite of the pilots assur-
ances, they became seriously alarm
ed-and who wouldnot, under similar
circumstances? At last the vessel
was dashed against rock, and ship
and crew were sunk to the bottom Of
the sea.
We expose ourselves to ridicule,
if we undertake things above our
capacity. tr

Surratt was in the city, and held
consultation with his counsel, Messrs.
Merrick and Bradley, with regard to
his trial, which was set for trial by
Judge Wylie, on the 21st proximo, at

defence will insist on a disposal of
the indictment for murder, on which
Surratt was last tried, before they 90
to trial under the second indictment
for conspiracy. From all indications,
Judge Wylie will insist either upon a
trial or nole pros.

An immense concourse of people
assembled at Saratoga, New York, on
Thursday last, to hear the annual
address before the Saratoga County
Agricultural Fair, which was deliver
ed by Governor Horatio Seymour, in
compliance with his engagement to
do so before receiving the Democra-
tic nomination for President. In the
address nothing whatever was said
relating to politics, but it was an able
and scholarly production, well worthy
its noble author. The village of
Saratoga was crowded to its Utmost
capacity by the large concourse of
farmers and their families from the
surrounding country.

The New York Herald, In one Of It's
late s,on-the.fence'' articles, speaks
as follows Of the coming eleotions::
It is generally conceded. Tint the
coming October, elections in Penn
ss:Jiai57alia, Ghiio, indiana and Iowa
win virtually determine the result OF
the Presidential election. The hope
Of the Democratic party is in Q move
ment Of the people Of the Western
and Middle States for o change in
the policy of the Government, exten-
sive enough to sweep away all past
Republican majorities, and turn the
great States over to the Democrats
by overwhelming votes. Such q
thing as q close contest is improba-
BILE, and, hence, it is clear that, If
this tremendous revolution is to
come OF all, it must show itself in
the State elections we have named.
In view of these facts, glance at
the results in 1862, when a similar
reaction to that now predicted set in
against the Republican party, on
account of their mismanagement of
the war and alleged official extrava-
gance and corruption, will be of
interest, at this time.
We find, then, that Vermont,
which led off in the election of 1862,
gave $4,000 Republican majority,
being an increase oyor its majority
for Lincoln in 1860. Maine followed,
with $4,000 CT 14,OOG Republican
majority. But, when the Octobar
elections came, Pennsylvania, which
had given Lincoln 10000 majority
two years before, turned over to the
Democracy by nearly 1900 majority;
Ohio changed It's 10000 for Lincoln
into 5000 for the Democratic ticket;
and Indiana, which had given Lin
coin $4,000 over Douglas. elected
Democratic officers by 10000 major
ity. This was the beginning of the
revolution, and it was followed by
similar results in other great States,
SO that, had a President been elected
in 1862. the Democrats would have
been successful.
In that election, Missouri was car
ried by the emancipationists, and
Delaware, although electing a Re-
publican Governor, cast Congress
sional majority for the Democrats.
It will be seen that neither Vermont
nor Maine afforded any indication of
the great change about to take place
in the political sentiment of the
country, but that the revolution COM
menced with the October elections.
1t will be the same, this year. Yer
mont amounts to nothing. Maine
is important, only in SO far as the
Democrats have made a hot contest
there, and may be discouraged by q
bad defeat. But, on the 18th of
October, when the voices of the men
Of iron-the Hoosiers and the Buck
eyes-make themselves heard, we
shall know whether the radicals are
to be hurled from power, or whether
the stupidity and stubbornness of
the Democratic managers are to
check the revolution foreshadowed
last fall, and occasion the re-enaction
of the election Of 1864.

The consideration of the following
papers was postponed until the regu-
lar session:
A bill to make provision for the
poor in the several Counties of this
State.
Abill to regulate the sale of spirit
uous liquors by apothecaries.
The petition of the Commissioners
Of the Poor of Abbeville County,
praying an appropriation of 81, 500
to keep up the poor house in that
County.
The Senate bill to prevent discri-
mination between persons, on &C.
count Of race, color or previous
condition, came up for considera-
ton, in connection with the House
bill on the same subject, which had
been returned from the Senate, at
the request of the House.
A violent discussion ensued, in
the progress of which Whipper,
Elliott, Bozeman and other negroes,
all imported African carpet-baggers,
took extreme ground in support of
what they called the black mans
rights-meaning, thereby, the right
of niger to occupy the same pew
in church, sleep in the same room,
and eat at the same table in hotel,
ride in the same car, &C., with q
white man. Under the pressure of
the party whip, in the hands of
such incendiaries, all the negro
members, with the exception of
Valentine, Of Abbeville, voted for
the original House bill, which
meant exactly what Whipper and
his coyr'ereS contended for, viz:
absolute social equality.
In this they were sustained by such
white Office beggars as the fat boy
jerks, and the miscegenationist as
Rev. Jackson; but the more moderate
white radicals, as Ferriter, Hyde and
Stoeber, repudiated the Infamous doc
trine. It is by no means likely that
the Senate will concur in this action
Of the House, as there is conservatism
enough even in that hybrid assem-
blage to prevent the passage of the
bill.
The bill to authorize the sale Of the
Columbia Canal was passed, the Co.
vernon, Robert n. Lewis and G. NJ.
Wilder being named as the commits
sioners to perpetrate the transaction.
SENATE. -
The petition Of the City Council of
Charleston, alluded to in the pro-
ceedings of the House, was read and
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The following bills were each read
third time. and sent to the House
for concurrence:
A bill to provide for the formation
and proceeding of the College Of
| Electors.
A bill to regulate attachments.
A bill to extend the time in which
County officers may qualify. This
bill, as finally passed, allows all Of
ficers until the first January, within
which to qualify.
The Act to authorize additional aid
to the Blue Ridge Railroad, was re-
ported ready for ratification.

Wednesday Morning, Sept. le. 1858.

The New York Tribune abuses the
Demoeratic papers, because, they do
not tell the truth about the public
debt. But who can tell the truth
about il? Who knows what thhs truth
is? How is anybody to discover the
actual state Of the finances? A Re-
publican commissioner informs us
that dtring last Year, a surplus of
1897, 600, 600 0;accumulsted in the Trea-
sury, while his actual figures prove
that the debt increased $12, 100000.
The Tribune makes no effort to ex-
plain the discrepancy; it gives it up
at once, and retires into still moro
muddled water. The Post attributes
the difficulty to interest on notes,
which il alleges was omitted; but it
turns out that this interest was not
omitted@so the Post withdraws in
disgust. A Republican orator says
that the debt has diminished eight
hundred millions since the war; the
Tribune only claims that it has been
reduced about two hundred millions,
while other Republican journals fix
upon sums to suit themselves. It
certainly, then, is not surprising that
Democrats should become confused
about the real state of tho debt, when
its very authors are no more clear
about its condition. Our "great na-
tional blessing" the New York Citizen
asserts, is getting to be a mixed bless
ing, and Democrats might surely be
forgiven, if they cannot appreciate
all its beautiful proportions.
