 GALVESTON, July l7.
 On tlre evening of the 10th a riot commenced at Millican, on Central R. R., in which mob of about twenty five negroes, led by a white negro school teacher, and a preacher named Brooks, attempted to hang man nam cd Wm. Holiday. The white citizens, headed by the sheriff and bureau agent, prevented the execution, and attempt- ed to suppress the mob, which resulted in the death of ten or twelve negroes. On the 16th both parties had largely reinforced, and the skirmishing con tinued throughout the day. The casu- alties were estimated at twenty-five. A body of troops arrived on the field last night and dispersed the rioters killing three more ofthe negroes, who numbering from three to five hundred had fortified themselves three miles from Millican, and refused to lay down their arms until the troops dispersed them. The entire loss is between fifty and sixty. The difficulty, it is said, arose on suspicion thata negro mcm- Der of the loyal league had been hung, but who has since been found.

Nomination Of Blair.

As to Gen. Francis F. Blair, his nom- ination was a token of respect for the army, aud especially the volunteer army of the Union. His nomination was. moreover, at the same tiaae re- cognition of the Great West, and a handsome and deserved recognition of the Republicans who have joined the Democratic party since their former associates have enlisted for negro equality everywhere else, and for negro supremacy in the South. Gen. Blair is the first Presidential candidate that was ever nominated by the Democracy from beyond the Father of Waters" Throughout his distinguished and well known career he has shown the bold traits and fearless independence of the w Western character. He display yed these traits in striking manner in his re- cent patriotic and manly avowals. The son of remarkable man, born in Frank lin county, in sight of the capital of Kentucky, and trained up in the politi- cal family of Old Hickory, he settled when n young man in St. Louis, and soon made his mark as the young lieu tenant of Senator Thomas H. Benton. In the Benton and Anti-Benton strug- gles of the Missouri Democracy, he took an active part for "Old Bullion," and finally became fullAblown Free Soiler, and was elected to Congress as such from St. Louis. 9s
 As all advocate of emancipation in Missouri, he stood stubborn and almost alone for years, but was ever fearless and consistent in the expression of his views. His manner, his ability and his personal character were such, that, notwithstanding the unpopularity of his position as to slavery, he was all ways respected and even popular, per sonally, with the pro-slavery men of that State. He always recognized the white as the superior race always secuted negro suffrage and negro equality, and was always recognized as strict construction Democrat upon all points but his "Free Soil" ideas. After supporting the election of Lin coin, and fighting bravely in the Union army as General of volunteers, he like General Hancock, 'laid his sword upon the altar of civil liberty" Among the oppressed and, persecuted Democrats | of Missouri he is recognized as large 1 hearted, patriotic man, who loves the traditions of constitutional govern ment. and forgets in peace the distinct ions that were set up between the citi- zens of common country in time of civil war. It was eminently proper that the Democratic party should, by nominating such man for high of flee, testify the sincerity of it's liberal and magnanimous professions, and prove that it is organized upon the living issues of the present, and not to perpetuate the memory of past con- tcntions.-Louisville Courier.

gSs~ There certain class of would be politicians who infest town and country, and who are ever changing from ono side to the other. They are invariably of that species who never possess more than one idea at time. Their principal aim is to be found with the successful party, so that if there isl any offices to be given away they will come in for share of the spoiis for their fealty. If it so happens that the party they belong to at the time is not in power, or does net seem to be in a fair way to get the ascendancy, they immediately cast about for some issue that they can bring their one-idea ar gunent te bear against, or in case they do not find such an issue, they prefer long catalogue of charges against a candidate or nominee for office and base their opposition upon his past po- litical course. As soon as they have got their cue they seek the street cor ners and commence the ventilation of their newly matched idea, and are only too glad if they can find some who will dispute with them the position they have taken. They are eager to be read out of one and into the other party, and they never cease to rant, and foam, and beat the air until their object is accomplished. They then move on in their regular course until tho election day is over, when, if their ticket wins, they felicitate themselves upon their prudence and foresight and the claims they have upon the party. Now we do not wish it to be under stood that we attach great deal of importance to the opinions of these changelings when we say that they do exert an influence to certain degree ill preventing the complete unity of action and organization of party. All who are anything like conversantwith American politics know very well that everything is dependent upon party discipline. Every patriotic citizen will seek that party which proposes the greatest amount of good to the greatest number and support it's principles as orthodox. As there is nothing per-
 feet it may well be admitted that the Democratic party is not infallible but, when it is opposing the majority of the action of the one now dominant and inflicting it's misrule upon the people, does it seem the wisest and best for them to give it their entire support without regard to any little short comings they may discern. By turning deaf ear to these little fault finders who make cloud from fleck and convert the vain glory of man into more virtue than the principles of of a great party, we will give perma- nency to our free institutions and rem der our form of government once more respectable at home and abroad.

From the New York Express. A Live Issue.

"'rhe negro question" the Radicals tell us, is dead issue--no longer lcgiti- mately within the domain of politics. and that hence, the Democracy, in pro jecting that issue into the Presidential cleo ton, are but beating the air, etc, etc.
 Let no man be deceived by that sub terfuge. The real question with the Northern, and Western, and Eastern peo- ple to day, is whether the ignorant and half,ciyilized negro shall now come upon the stage, to help make laws for us and our children.
 True, the negro is not yet in the Senate nor House of Representatives; but, us things are going, he soon will be there The carpet-baggers whom he has sent to Washington are his et-baggers, elected by his influence and his votes, but when the next election comes around Gf the Radicals control the Federal administra- tion,) depend upon it, the negro himself will throw these carpet-baggers aside and send to Washington men and brethren of his own Chat is, the negro's) complexion.
 We repeat it over and over again, =. that is the sure drift of things, and noth- ing on earth can prevent it, save sweep ing Democratic victory all over the coun- try next autumn.
 The outposts of the government, it must be remembered, so far as the mill tary monarchies are concerned, have al- ready capitulated to the African. In | hax tAs tenant Governor, with many of the minor offices filled with incumbents of the same class
 The negroes and Radicals there exclude nearly half the members of the Legisa- ture because they decline to take any oath save the one presented by the State Con stitutions At this crisis, Gen. Grant (U s. soldiers surround the State House, and rc-instatc the members thus cast out, thereby affording us, practical ex. republication of what negro--or mixed negro and mean-white-ciyil government really is.
 Now that kind of government may be in accordance with the Radical, Grant Col fax notions of what is constitutional, and right and proper,-but it is nevertheless Mexican, or Peruvian, Ecuadorian, or Chilian, not American Government-in accordance with the principles and views otzhe men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, framed the Constitution, and fought out against George the Third, seven years war for Liberty and Independence.
 Let the people, then keep this vital fact in view,--that the real question to be settled in November next is whether, un- der the Military Dictatorship of Gen. Grant, the enslavcment of the white men of the South shall be made the means of enslaving the People of the North, - whether Negroes, whom the Radicals have made the governing race in the South, arc also to be, through the machinery of a Central Despotism, our law givers and our masters also
