The Scheneyus IN. Y y Monitor, hereto
fore an Influential Independent paper,
has come out "slrong for Seymour and
Blair, and the restoration Of the Union"
IL we'll says that Che people are tired Of
disorder and chaosin the government th at
Standing armies to keep an already sub
dped people in subsection, with paper
currency, monstrous debt, negro supre-
macy, and continued violation of Constitu-
ton and laval these sicken the people,
and change is demanded. ~ s
The Philadelphia Age publishes that
cone hundred German citizens in one of
the upper wards of that city, who have
hitherto voted the Radical ticket, have de-
clared their intention to support Seymour
and Blair. The German citizens Of the
sixth ward are also flocking to the support
of the Democratic ticket, being unwilling
to belong any longer TO such corrupt, rad
icaI, and revolutionary party as that now
in power. The Germans, not only in the
upper wards, but all over the city, are COM
ing into the Democratic ranks. We take
pleasure in stating, on the authority of DR..
Roth, one of the leading German citizens
Of the sixth ward, and who is we'll posted
"a to the German sentiment throughout
the city, that three-fourths of the Germans
will support Seymour and Blair, and the
other Democratic nominees.
The Dayton Ledger says "Charles
Morris, of Troy, Ohio, one of the leading
lawyers of Miami county, and hitherto an
active Republican, has publicly announced
his intention to support Seymour ard
Blair. Quite number of other prominent
Republicans in Miami county have re-
nounced their former faith, and the De-
mocracy there are even confident of being
able to carry the county this fall"
The Albany Argus says that gentleman
in Washington, writing to a friend in this
city, says: 81 have always opposed Gov
ernor Seymour, but / see no way to save
the Constitution and the liberties of the
people, except in the election of the DEM
ocraticcandidate. Ishall do all in my pow
er to aid the cause"
A letter from prominent politician of
Indians, who has been several times in Con-
gress, assures us that Seymour and Blair,
upon the platform of equal taxation, will
sweep the States of Indiana and Illinois by
commanding msjorities and he stakes his
reputation for political sagacity upon the
result.
Col. C. @. Gardiner, Of EImira, New
York, gallant officer in the war, and here
tofore Republican, comes ont squarely
for the Democratic ticket

The Legislature Of Alabama adjourned
on the 10Th inst to the FIRST Monday in
November, the day before the Presiden-
tial election, without providing FOR the reg
istration Of voters required by the Con-
slitution, or in any manner es tablishing
the machinery for conducting and veri-
flying the election according to law The
Montgomery AdUcrtiSer thinks the intent
is to defeat thc election altogether. That
paper says:
"The people Of the State are indebted TO
Gov. Smith for the veto Of the infamous
Electoral College bin, and for the general
tone Of moderation that has peryaded his
entire official conduct Had the incendiaTy
propositions Of Coon, the pretended Sena-
tor from Dallas, and particularly his
dangerous militia bill prevailed, the State,
by this time, would most likely have been
on the very verge Of civil war. As it Is,
we shall have Presidential election in
and viii carry the Stale for
Seymour and Blair BY 10000 msiority,
or no registration, and the t,lec-
lion OF Seymour and Blair will lead Ia
by peaceab4e means, Of all the
errors Of the reconstruction acts"

.I.Er Us HAVE PEACE.

The New Orleans Picdy,nc Of the Slh
inst comments with just severity upon the
letter sent to Washington by Gov. War
moth, filed with fotions about anarchy and
crime in the South. Il plainly tells the
Radicals they can have peace il they want
il, but says:
We tell them that 30 long as they persis
in claiming that they are prosecuted for the
sake Of the Union, when this is false; 50
long as they continue 10 commit outrages
upon the mass Of the old governing popu-
lation Of the State, depriviDg them of the
righ, Of self-governmeni, by every ingenius
plan which they can devise; 10 long as
The organize and continually reorganize for
plumber and robbery, under the name Of
law; 30 long as they threaten force 10 per-
petnaie their government, gained by force
they will Cad us unwilling 10 give them
the least assistance, moral or otherwise.
Let ms have peace" but not a party peace
and peace only for the sake Of party. Let
us have peace for the sake Of industry and
Of the rights Of all, and let all political
aims and ends be abandoned in professed
efforts TO attain il. In this way only can
peace be secured.

THE WARS OF THE FACTIONS.

Three gentlemen who reside in the
sixth Congressional district, have adj
dressed note to Mr.. J. J. Buck, inform
ing him that at primary meeting Of
the delegates of the different counties of
the sixth district" held on the 18th inst,
they were appointed committee to So
lict him to withdraw from the canvass,
as ut was the sense of said meeting that
Hon. S. n. Arnell is the choice OF the
Republican party of the district" Mr.
Buck politely informs them. that he will
do no such thing that they were not
authorized to speak or act for their cons
stituents, and that they were simply in
the interest Of Mr. ArneH So the effort
to bring about perfect harmony in the
Radical party of that district has failed
and there will be two Radical candi-
dates.
There are already two Radical candi-
dates in this district, and two in the Mem
phis district The Radicals are also having
a lively time in the fourth district, there
being about half dozen aspirants fol
the nomination, including Mullins and
Mr.. Lewis Tillman. The war of the fac
tions in this district is exceedingly bitter
each faction denouneing the other as thor
oughly dishonest and not to be trusted
The honest people Of the district vii
thus learn the character Of the men whC
are anxiously seeking to represent then

We print this morning very import
ant letter from Mr.. j. B. Bingham, Of
Memphis, giving the history of the fran
chise movement in this State. The
prominent part which Mr. Bingham took
in the primary meeting in this city in
january, 1865, which resolved itself into
a Constitutional Convention, lends adj
ditional weight to bis statement in regard
TO the feeling and purposes of the mems
bers of that body His testimony is con-
elusive upon the point we made yestcr-
day, and frequently heretofore, that the
franchise law was enacted to enable the
men who had control of the State govern
ment to retain the power which adVenti~
tious circumstances had placed in their
hands. The testimony of Mr. Bingham
makes it clear, if there was any doubt be-
fore, that the DISTINGUISHING of so many
white men0in this State, was done, not
because it was believed they had cons
nitted crime deserving such harsh
punishment, but simply as a measure to
insure the success Of the Radical party.

The Legislature of Alabama, now IN
session, has recently enacted an enfran-
chising statute
The Legislature Of Tennessee, now in
session, has recently refused to even con-
sider number of respectful petitions
for q similar wise and liberal policy in
this State and Radical State Conven-
ton, still moro recently in session, has
declared with emphasis against any such
movement
Two leading opponents Of Northern
Radical opinion, thus expressed them
selves in regard to the tolerant and
liberal action of Alabama; the New York
Tribune said:
The Legislature, after due consideration,
has passed an act reploUiRg all diSfraachise-
saents for rebellion. There was but one mega
tive vote in the Senate, and but thirteen
against seyenty-three in the House. Hence
forth there is no DISTINGUISHED class in Ala
bama-no person LAisfranchfsed unless for.
some non-political felony. The chief
Democratic clamor against" carpet-bag'
and ''nigger" rule in Alabama is therefore
silenced. All her people are equal in right
and law. The fourteenth amendment ex-
cludes the leading Rebels from certain
Federal offices but reserves to Congress the
right TO remove this disability. No one
can donbt that Congress will respect the &C
lion of the Legislature in the premises and
remove every vestige of disability, Pro0'Ge6
IN. 4 4 L a. ,f- ov,alf Ian A
blacks. In short the Republicans OF Ala
bama propose full and final peace on the
basis of universal amnesty-impartial sui
frage. And they do not wait TO bargain or
exact equivalents-they hew square up to
the line, leaving their adversaries free to
follow or not follow their lead. 1t will yet
be realized that their action was no less
wise than bold and generous.
The New York Eeeniag Post also gave
the step its approval in these words:
The Alabama Legislature has just passed
an act removing all disfranchisement for
rebellion. The Georgia Legislature Is
about to do the same thing. The Tennes-
see Legislature will doubtless follow the
example when it meets in regular session.
We hope all the other Southern Leglsla-
lures will, in like manner, make the sui
frage impartial. We have constantly adj
yised this as the true policy for peace.
In the light of recent occurrences IN
this State, the remark Of the Post in re-
gard to Tennessee may be considered
singing rebuke, and by men less callous
than the leading Radicals would be so
felt But their sensibilities are as blunt
as their souls are small Nothing wise,
magnanimous, or just, we fear, can be
expected from men who have surren-
derod themselves so entirely to hate and
malice as those who control the Radical
party in Tennessee.

SPECULATION IN RREADsTUFrs.

SPECULATION In BREADSTUFFS.
The New York Journal Of Commerce Of
the 1lth inst. calls attention to the efforts
the spectators in breadstufls are making,
By persistent outcry in certain points as
to the "great drought" in England, to
create the impression that there is to be a
heavy foreign demand for American grain
in order, meanwhile, TO keep up prices
here at home. That paper says:
There has been no good ground for the
very exciting articles which some Of our
contemporaries have published, and much
harm will come from them if they are
widely needed. A sudden advance in
price Just at the close of harvest Is certain
TO benefit none, while it tends only TO keep
back the crops from market to the manifest
injury Of all concerDmed. Prices are kept
up for a while, the consumption diminishes,
poor people who have to buy are distressed,
the foreign market is filed from other
quarters, and then prices go down, and the
farmers sell at low prices too late for the
roads and canals to distribute the surplus
to advantage. Those who hold the surplus
sent forward before the advance and sell it
at once, pocket the high price, but every
body else, producer, Spectator and con-
sumner, will have to suffer. Those who are
ministering to the spirit Of speculation are
enemies of every legitimate material in-
terest throughout the whole country"

We have carefully read the proceeds

Radical State Convention as displayed in
them, but intend TO make no extended
comment Anything We should say,
would be but variation Of the phrases
so often applied to similar gatherings
Considering the surrounding circumstan-
ces, and contrasting it with the proeeed>
ings Of the late conference of Confeder~
ate Generals assembled IN this city, and
the tone Of the Democratic meetings in
dorsing their action, it wears darker
and more diabolical hue than any pre-
