Political Items.

CHANGES. Es.-The Ulster Democrat, pub
lished at Kingston, N. Y. and heretofore
Republican paper has hauled down
Grant and Colfax and placed Seymour and
Blair at its masthead. The Jordan Trans
cr5p in New York has also changed from
Grant to the support of Seymour. Charles
Morris, late Republican State Senator
from Troy, N. Y. has abandoned that
party and now supports Seymour and
Blair. Ex-U. S. Senator Carlisle Of
West Virginia has repudiated Seymour
and Blair and strongly advocates the
election of Grant and Colfax. The San
Jose (Cal.) Patriot, Democratic jour-
nal, unable to go Seymour comes out for
Grant and Colfax. The Hon. w. b.
Jones, clector for Grant and Colfax in the
Fourth Congressional district of Alabama,
has taken the stump for Seymour and
Blair. The Hon. Thomas Matterson,
Representative from Lawrence county.
Alabama, has abandoned Grant, and de-
clared his intention to support Seymour
and Blair.

The Democratic State Convention and the
Ticket.

The proceedings of the Democratic State
Convention which met in Dover on We'd
nesday, were marked by harmony and
enthusiasm which gave token of the ear
nestness and spirit with which the Demo-
cracy of Delaware mean to conduct the
present canvass. The electoral ticket pre-
sented is one that will fully sustain the
high consideration and popular favor of
our distinguished standard-bearers, in
this State. The nomination of Major B.
T. Biggs, for Congress, is one eminently
fit to be made. 1t will be hailed with en-
thusiasm throughout the State but here
at home, among his friends and neighbors
and those with whom he is in daily inter
course, the intelligence was received with
a heartincss and satisfaction, such as on
" friends and neighbors can feel. The
Delaware Gazette says he will be elected
by the greatctst majority that candidate
for Congress has ever, in our recollection,
received in Delaware. Of this, we think,
there can be little doubt. As the Repre-
sentative of Delaware in the lower House
Of Congress, he will bring to the position
a devotion to the best interests of the
State, zeal, energy and activity, unsur-
passed by any of his predecessors. He is
thoroughly identified with all the leading
interests and improvements which have
given to Delaware proud position among
her sister States. Her agricultural, hor.
ticultural, and rail road interests, will find
in him fitting representative, and one
whose best energies will be constantly de
voted to all that is calculated to advance
her interests or her honor. Associated
with, and belonging to, that class of in
telligent, active, and thrifty farmers, wh'
have done so much for Delaware's ad
vancement-the architect, too, of his owl
fortunes they will take peculiar pleasure
in binding upon his brows the chaplet o
civic honors because, in honoring him
they honor themselves, who as a class
have heretofore had too few representa-
tives at the council-board of the nation

On account of the increasing pcrils in
which the white population of Charleston
are being involved by the riotous and
threatening attitude of the negroes under
Radical teachings, the most influential cit-
liens have united in an address, and dele
gated the Hon. J. b. Campbell to present
the same to the President. In the entire
absence of all protection, either from the
civil Or military authorities, they exhort
their fellow-citizens to the continued excr-
else of forbearance, but at the same time
admonish them to prepare to defend theiV
lives and families and homes. Emanating
as it docs from the most substantial and
conservative citizens of the place, it shows
beyond cavil to what a wretched condition
Radicalism is reducing the country, where
it has full control and where it has given
the negro license unchecked even by tho
laws Of the land.

Words OF Wisdom.

On the first page of this issue the read
er will find letter from the Hon. Amos
Kendall, addressed to the Jackson Demo-
cratic Association of Washington, which
we commend to the careful attention of
all. During the administration OF An
drew Jackson, Mr.. Kendall was acknowl-
edged to be one of the best political wri-
ters of the day; and although he is now
almost an octogenarian, his intellect ap-
pears to have lost nothing of that native
force and vigor which so much distin-
gu.sh.I i'm in the days of his manhood's s
mu.. His contribution to the Demo-
.r.. .gagine, of an article entitled
I True Principles Of Commercial
Rm.ug," as we'll as the ability he SO
t-..y displayed in connection with the
daily press, at once placed him in the
front rank of the writer's upon political
economy. Nothing ever written by Say,
Vethake, Adam Smith, Gouge. or any
one else, ever so elucidatei and simplifed
this subject, reducing it to the compre,
hension of the humblest intellect. So now
in the letter before us, he presents thu
issues before the country in the presen
canvass, in light as clear as the sun
beam. Let every one read it CAREFUL.
and ponder well the lessons it would teacl
us. We propose to our Republican con
temporaries, that If any of them will pub
lsh this letter of Mr.. Kendalrs, that W
will publish any document of similar siz
they may designate, in the interest of tn
Republican party. If it be truth the
aim at, the cause of truth may be subserv
ed by presenting both sides. By discus
sion truth is elected, and we have on abb
ding faith in the force of truth and reaso
upon the public mind.

A Sign OF the Times.

The following extract (says the New
York Express) from letter from one Of
the most prominent lawyers of our coun-
try, bearing date July, 1868, to friend
in Brooklyn, is worthy of being noted as
showing which way the substantial men of
the Republican party propose to vote:
81 cordially unite with you in the hope
that the nominations which have now been
made in New York city will meet the ap-
proval of the whole country, and be elec-
ted by an overwhelming majority, giving
us a government equally just to all Sec
tions. l have been an old whig of the
Clay and Webster school all my life, and
an earnest Union man, despising democ-
racy and its principles, but l cannot stand
radicalism, and will support democracy OF
any other party that promises to relieve
abe country of the infamous rule of the
party in power.'

Negro Outrnges Upon White Women.


The frequency of these revolving oc-
currences is attracting public attention
everywhere. Scarcely week passes that
the press is not called on to chronicle
outrages of this character. Only few
weeks ago, negro man was hung in
Hartford county, Md. by the excited by
ISLANDERS, for an offence of this kind; yet,
only last week another attempt was made
by negro upon white lady in the same
county. The case is thus reported in the
Bel Air Kyis:
On Wednesday last, about 10 o'clock
in the morning. most brutal assault was
made by negro man upon = respectable
married lady, living about two miles from
Churchville, in this county. 1t appears
that the lady in question was alone in her
own house at the time, and while arrang-
ing her dress at the glass, the negro en-
tered the room through the kitchen, in
almost nude state, and seized her from
behind before she was aware of his pres
ence, and threw her violently on the floor
and greatly outraged her. Her cries for
aid attracted the attention of a little boy
who was near the house, who also joined
in the cry for help, and this together with
the fact that the house of neighbor was
not far distant, alarmed the brutal scoun-
drcl and he made his escape without ac-
complishing his diabolical purpose, but
not without greatly abusing and maltrea-
ting the lady. She Immediately went be-
fore Justice of the Peace and made the
proper oath and obtained a warrant for
his arrest, which was placed in the hands
of the Sheriff, who at once started in
search of the villain, but up to the time
of going to press he has not been arrested.
The negro was an entire stranger to the
lady, which may make it somewhat diff
cult to identify him.
Not long since we were called upon to
report a similar outrage upon an estimable
lady, and little thought at the time that
we should be SO soon called upon to re.
cord another; but lamentable as it is sucl
is the fact We understand that the peo.
pie of the neighborhood where this re-
voting and diabolical crime was attemp
ted are greatly incensed and excited abou
the affair. Besides this case, we have
heard it stated that but few days ago !
young lady was chased by negro mar
from a field in the vicinity of her father
residence, for the purpose, as is supposed
of committing an outrage upon her per
son. But about this latter case we know
nothing more than we have stated, anC
we give it as rumor conveyed it to us
without vouching for its accuracy.

TAX PAYERS, LOOK AT Tu1s.-Radical
economy is beautifully illustrated by the
stationery account of the Rump House Of
Representatives, at Washington. For 1868
it amounted to 500, $50. The same &C.
count for 1861 was $38,600, an increase
in four years of $61 ,05O. One of the
items of the account during the second
session Of the Fortieth Congress was o.
1856 penknives, at cost of $5, ,620, being
about fourteen knives apiece for each
member. Other items exhibit the same
reckless extravaganza.

One of the best signs of approaching
victory for the democratic party, is the
course of the New York Herald. The
weather-vane points not more surely to
the current of the wind, nor the needle
more truly to the pole, than the Herald
does to the course of the popular current.
Bennett can always see how the cat is
about to jump, and never changes except
for the purpose of being on the popular
side. His late desertion of the Radical
cause is an indubitable sign that he sees
in the future the total overthrow OF Rad
icalism.

Hon. George H. Pendleton has been
doing yeoman's service, recently, in

A Radical torch-light procession in At
lanta Georgia, ON Wednesday evening
was composed solely of three hundred ne
groes. Two policemen arrested a drunken
and disordorly negro and were taking him
to the station, when they were attacked by
party of negroes, knocked down, and the
prisoners rescued. Later the negroes col
lected about the station and fred on the
police, who returned the fire. The negroes
finally withdrew. One negro was killed
and two wounded.

Under Radical rule the civil service of
this government costs SIC, 900, 900 per
year more than that of England. The
cost of the War Department, as stated by
Radical authorities, was $123, ,000. 900
last year, while the British army only cost
$4,000, 900, and that, too, with force
nearly four times as large as ours. In
round numbers our army is composed Of
60, 600 men, while the British army has
2l3,000. Such facts as the above explain
the necessity for high taxes.
Middletown transcript., 1868-08-29

How TO LESSEN THE TAXEs.-The ma.
tional debt is increasing monthly. Tho
standing army imposed upon us by the
Radicals cost 1923, 200, 900 last year, and
the troops in the South employed to exe-
cute the Congressional scheme of recon.
struction absorbed over SIS, ,000,0 900 in
twelve months. As the expenses increase.
so will the taxes. Crush out the Radical
party, and the expenditures will diminish,
the debt will grow less, and the taxes will
gradually be removed.

The Delaware Journal and Statesman
pays the following we'll merited compliment
to Sheriff Herbert. Since the people of
New Castle county are so well pleased with
one democratic Sheriff let them try anoth-

SHERIFF HERBERT.- The County of
New Castle will be fortunate indeed if its
next Sheriff should prove to be man of
such dash, daring and perseverance as the
present incumbent has shown himself du-
ring his term of Office. There has been
no legitimate duty imposed upon him that
he has not performed well and with alacri-
ty. There has been no responsibility in
cident to his position that he has failed to
meet or assume in the interests of the
County or the welfare of its citizens; and
we doubt if there ever has been an officer
of the County who has met with more
hearty concentrations from those with
whom he is brought into contact than
Sheriff Herbert has received from men OF
all parties, classes and professions. The
efficiency, integrity, manly generosity and
straight-forwardnes with which he has
| filed the measure Of his entire obligations
as an officer and gentleman, in all his
transactions, are matters of general favor.
able comment; and as the time draws neal
when he will be called upon to surrender
