BADLY ScARED.-The scalawAgs in
the Tennessee Legislature are very
averse to enabling the 90, 600 tdisfran-
cliised white men of that State to vote.
One Of these trooly loil men said:,
eff the rebels are enfranchised, the
Republican party will not last twelve
months. Nay; it will MT last six
months.n
A man named Hamilton declared:
eff the rebels are to be Snfranchised
at this time, there will b no further
need of Radical legislation Every law
we have enacted will be swept from the
statute book"
This Hamilton was Confederate
officer; as such he seized sugar and
cotton. After the capture Of Memphis,
lie sold a vast amount OF clifton and
sugar thus seized and pockAted the
money, having deserted from the Con-
federate service for that purpose.\ And
yet, he takes the iron-clad oathN and
DISTINGUISHES "Rebels!"

Serenade to Mr.. Seymour-His Ad-
dress to Soldiers.

We copy as follows from dispatch
dated Utica, August 10: 7
At meeting of the chairman of the
county committees, ex-Gov. Seymour
was introduced and made some brief
remarks showing his confidence in the
success of the party at the coming cleo
ton. Tonight Mr.. Seymour will be
serenaded and is expected to make a
speech in response.
LATER.-The conservative veteran
soldiers and sailors of this city held q
large and enthusiastic meeting this
evening. 1t adjourned at an early
hour to serenade Gov. Seymour at his
headquarters at the Butterfield House.
There was q vast assemblage in front
of the Hotel. @
After the music, Gov. Seymour was
introduced by Gen. Joseph McQuade.
He was received with immense cheer
ing, and spoke as follows:
Soldiers of Oneida county, thank
YOU for this mark of your good will. I
know better than most men the charac-
ter of the services rendered by our SOL
diers in the late war. ] gave them
tilOE6 GtltlH ulRCCu tttouSduu COnHllS-
sion. 1t was my official duty to mark
this upward progress in rank rs they
gained honors in the, field. 1t was my
sad duty to record the loss of life of
many of those with whom I had
pleasant intercourse in the Executive
Chamber. I saw young regiments as
they went forth to- war witlrranks FILL
ed with men in the full vigor of man
hood. 1t was my official privilege to
thank them in the name OF the State,
when they returned with thinned ranks
and torn banners, which were made
glorious by the proofs that they had
been borne by brave men into the
thickest of the fight. 1t is a pleasant
thing, amidst all the harshness of po-
litical canvass, to receive these tenders
of good will and confidence from those
who have shown their patriotism on
the battlefield, and in return pledge
myself in whatever lstation I may be
placed, in public or private life, to
struggle for the restoration of that I'm
ion for which you have periled your
lives in the contest of arms. In our
struggle for constitutional rights we
are strengthened in our convictions OF
duty by the fact that a majority of our
soldiers support us in this political
contest.
In the course of my life have re-
ceived many testimonials from political
friends, as well as from political oppo-
uents, from their sense of the services
which / have been able to render to our
State and to our country. But none
touch my heart so much as these proofs
of respect which come from my neigh
bors, and particularly those given by
men who have served our country in
the ranks of it's armies.
Governor Seymour retired amid en-
thusiastic cheers.

Points Of Difference.

The Democratic party propose to let
the people govern themselves.
| The Radicals undertake to govern
them by martial law. ~.
The Democracy are in favor of let
ting the majority govern.
The Radicals, OH the contrary, are in
favor of the greatest good for the small
est number. tTgt
The Democrats believe in economy
and cheap Government.
The Radicals act on the principle
that a National Debt is q National
Blessing. -
The Democracy is the only real I'm
ion party. Its great leader Andrew
jackson, said, 1.-THE Union must and
shall be preserved"
The Radical doctrine is, on the Otlfer
hand, that the Union is .. league with
death and a covenant with hell.n (See
Gafrison.)
The Democratic party is the party Of
the Constitution.
Radical leaders have pronounced that
Constitution an "atrocious bargain"
The Democratic policy aims to en-
courage American Industry.
The Radical policy is to crust, ont
Americana Industry, and to build up
that Of foreign nations. (See how they
have thrown the great ship building
interest, for example, into European
hands y
/ The Democracy believe in the sOver-
eighty of the Ballot Box.
/ Bullets, not Ballots, are the main
stay of the Radicals.
\ Under Democratic administration the
country always had peace.
+ Under Radical administration the
country always has had war.
Under Democratic administrations
the national debt, ut the worst oftimcs,
was less than hundred millions Of
dollars. ,i sHz .aa ar
/ Under Radical ADMINISTRATION it has
run up to thousands of millions.
The Democracy always gave us q
gold and silver currency. -.'1a-
The Radicals have given US nothing
but rags. ~ - -r
An American dollar, under Demo
cratic management, was good for q dol
lar all the world lover.
Under Radical fnanciering, it is good
for dollar nowhere--not even at
home. aaa n. NM
When the Democratic party ruled
the country, the laws were equal and
exact.
The Radicals, on the contrary, have
one set Of laws for the Rich and another
for the Po0r-with n.
High Tariffs and Big Bounties for
the Puritan Oligarchy of New England.
Taxes, and nothing but Taxes, for
the Mechanic, Laborer, Farmer, the
Salaried Clerk, etc. .57'hf

j. o Nixon, Esq:
Dear SRI wish, through your, paper
the following facts may be circulated:
There is, living in this county, q man
who has in his possession . little girl about
six or seven years Of age, blue eyed, sandy
hair, which was stolen by Union soldier
during the last year of the war, somewhere
in the South He brought her North, to
this State. and his wife died, The not hav-
ing any children, the little girl fell into
the hands Of another person, who wishes
her proper parents to have her. Now. this
fellow says he got her while on picket in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Yet we are not
inclined to believe him, as he tells differ
ent stories about it, The impression is he
did not take the child to relieve it from
suffering. but he stole it from her parents,
who, perhaps, think the child dead. Now,
sir, If you will give this place in your pa
per, it might be the means of relieving the
hearts Of some good and affectionate par
ents. The child is here, and don't know
her name in full, only recollects that they
called her Lucy Ann. She says her pa
went off with company of men who had
guns. Her ma was away from home with
her, and she was oat playing, when this
soldier picked her up and brought her off,
promising her to take her. back. You can
take out of this letter such as will embrace
the facts in the case and publish it, if you
feel SO disposed. l have written to differ
ent papers of the South, trusting they will
also give this wide circulation, and trust
ing your efforts will be blessed. am ever
ready and willing to answer all INQUIRIES
which may be made. I am, respectfully.
THos. Nj. Cox.

A RUBBER CARR1AGE.-A carriage has
been made in Bridgeport Conn.,, which is
an open buggy and weighs bnt l25 pounds.
The body is one piece of hard rubber, one
eighth Of an inch in thickness. It is with
out the usual carriage bolts and screws, and
presents perfectly smooth surface, which
is not soiled or taraished by rubbing or by
handling. The rubber is tougher than
wood, aud very much more elastic. The
running gear is of wood, but the next car
rage made will be entirely of rubber. The
material is unaffected by wet, hot or cold
weather, and was prepared at tempera-
ture of 800 degrees the body having been
first got into plastic mass, like dough.
A company has been formed, called the
s" Hard Rubber Wood Company. with q
capital of $25O,000, and consisting of IF
teen stockholders, for the purpose of car
rying on the business in Bridgeport.

A PRETTY DoDGE.--The more hon.
orable of the Radical journals admit
that the fourteenth amendment stands
in the way of Legislatures DESTROYS of
casting the electoral vote of States.
These journals, however, propose to
''leave the question to Congress"
That's as much as to say: "It's a dirty
business, but Congress is the National
Scavenger." Leave it to Congress, by
all means. But when Congress gets
through, the People will settle with

THE SwINDLE OF THE ELECTORAL Col.
LEcE BILL-The Boston Post thus shows
up the swindle and danger to the peace OF
the country which turks within the elector-
al college bill
"The bill which has just passed both
Houses of Congress, to regulate the elector-
al votes of the Southern States, is full of
deceit and treachery, and aims at serious
mischief only. Perhaps because Gen.
Grant is at the head Of the army, and is
himself the Radical candidate for Presi-
dent, the Radicals think it can be carried
out. This is the trap it conceals: No
Southern State shall have its electoral
vote counted for the next President until
it shall have been declared entitled to rep
resentation by Congress. If 4 majority of
those States, then, cast their votes for Sey-
mour in November, q Radical Congress can
declare them, any time before February, not
entitled to representation and so their cleo
toral votes will not be counted Bot the
minority of the States, whose votes were
thrown for Grant, will be permitted to have
their votes counted. In case the result
of the election turns upon the admission of
a few votes, which may be had by counting
one State in and another State out, cannot
any one see the peril in which Radical
recklessness is ready to plunge the country?
Senator Trumhull has openly warned his
party in Congress against 1t, but his voice
has not been needed. As last resort,
they fall back on Grant himself, on whom
they iely to use the army to secure his own
election and their longer lease of power.
There is where serious trouble will be like

ARREST OF JUDGE E. H. DuRELI.

ARREST OF JUDGE E. H. DURELL.---
The N. O. Bee has the following:
We have been informed on good
authority that E. H. Durell, Judge Of
the United States District Court for
Louisiana, was arrested in New York
few days ago. and held in confinement
for several hours, at the instance of an
individual in Boston, who has some
reason to complain of Judge Durell in
his official capacity. The arrest was

Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Judge being in
company with Mr.. J. p. Sullivan, of
this city, who procured bail in the
sum of fifty thousand dollars, after
which the prisoner was released. We

therefore, it is sustained. A single
