 MURDER IN FULTON CoUNTy.-We learn that Capt. Mason was murdered by some unknown persons, while pass ing along the road somewhere in Full ton county, on Saturday last. It ap- pears that Capt. Mason, in company with five or six men. was riding along the road, when suddenly three or four guns were fired by persons in ambush, two balls striking Mason, killing him instantly, and another ball passing through the clothes of another of the party. None of the men with Capt. Mason saw any of the party who fired.
 Mason was man of bad character, and was accused of several murders He was probably killed by parties who entertained feelings of revenge for some of his past acts, and who took advantage of the unsettled condition of affairs to kill him, hoping that it might be attributed to political ani- mostly, and thus shield themselves. He was president of the board of reg stration in Fulton county, and we have no doubt the Radical press and party will attribute his death 10 politi- cal causes. and endeavor to make po- litical capital out of the matter.-N. A. Times.

John IT. Hoffman

Who will be, elected Governor of New York by about 100000 majority, opened the State canvass at Buffalo the other day in & magnificent speech. He closed with the following powerful blow at Grant and the Radical party, and with the relation of striking in- cident which will be read with in terest:
 I go further than that. I will say in regard to General Grant, that the na- ton has placed three stars upon his shoulder, and would be the last man to say that they ought not to have been placed there. 1 would not take one of as he has earned them. But 1 would not, by my voice or vote, sustain the policy of the party which puts him in nomination, which, while it leaves the stars on his shoulders, takes them of the flag of the country. Tremendous cheering.) They stand emblazoned upon that glorious old flag, each star the representative of Q sovereign, inde- pendent, and equal State, and the man who would make one of them repre- sent anything else, would just as read fly take star from the shoulder of a general. But we want no military President, let his virtues and bravery be ever so great. The country wants statesman. (Great cheering.) The day of the word is past. Time is come to lay it aside. A little incident oc- cured at the national Convention as- sembled in the great city of New York, which was at once an omen and a warning. That grand hall where the Convention met was full of patriotic men. Upon it's walls were posted the shields of the whole thirty-seven States, and around every shield was the American flag. Upon the platform stood two bronze statues of noble sol diers, one leaning upon great bronze sword. The Convention had been in session for several days. Ballot after ballot had taken place. First one was up, then another, and presently a gal lant general, whose name has never anywhere been mentioned but with respect-I mean Hancock. Loud cheers.l No man knew whether on the next ballot he was or was not to be chosen. Everything was uncertain, when, suddenly, the great bronze sword in the statue's hand snapped asunder at the hilt. It was not touched by mortal hand. No human agency broke it. Some mysterious, invisible, and ir- resistible power snapped it at the hilt and the word went forth that the coun- try was to have hereafter statesman and not a soldier for its leader. Ire mendous chcering.] My friends, the people throughout the great State ol
 New York and Ohio and Pennsylva- mia, and throughout the nation, are
 being stirred, not by any human agen- cy, not by any word of public speakers in public assemblages, but there is a power as mysterious, as unseen, as ir. resistible as that which broke the sword, which is moving upon the masses of the people. and which will elevate 10 the chair of state that excel lent citizen, Christian gentleman, and noble statesman Horatio Seymour 1 Immense cheering.

The Surratt Case.

On Thursday last the trial of John II. Surratt finally terminated, and re- suited ill his discharge. The announce ment has gone over the country, reviv- ing in the minds of the American peo- pie the recollection of one of the most dark and vindictive prosecutions that ever disgraced the annals of any nation. We envy not that man who can recall the infamous proceedings that led to the official murder of Surratt's mother -an amiable and venerable Christian lady, whose innocence needed not the confirmation given by the failure to convict her son--without feeling his cheek mantle with the blush of shame for the disgraceful attitude in which his country was placed. and his soul recoi with horror and disgust at the very thought of the men engaged in so hateful conspiracy. While the re- cords of the Surratt trials stand, the names of Stanton, Holt and their CO., workers will be the synonyms for in- fanny.
 After the most strenuous efforts on the part of his prosecutors to procure conviction--for well they knew the in- creased odium in which his judicial acquittal would place them-Surratt has been formally discharged. Had Stanton, Holt, and other Radical lead- CTS been able to get the case before a military commission, they could have procured his conviction as his mothers was procured. We'll was it for him. therefore, and for the cause of justice that, after being pursued over great part of the globe and captured at an immense expense to the government, reason and law had sufficiently resum- ed their sway to insure him fair judi cial investigation.-Louisville Courier, Sept. 30th. .

 Gen. ThOs. q. Hind man

A brief dispatch which appears in our telegraphic columns this morning announces the death of this distinguish ed Confederate General, by assassina- ton, at his home in Helena, Arkansas, on the night of the 27th instant. The supposed assassin, man named Rob- bins, from Springfield, Mo-, said to have served under General Hindman during the late war, was arrested at Memphis yesterday. and though strong ly protesting his innocence, was sent back to Helena.
 General Hindman was native of Tennessee, and in the fiftieth year of his age. He began his military career, which from time to time was marked with no little brilliancy, in the Mexi- can war. serving as a Second Lieu tenant of Mississippi volunteers. Af- ter the close of that war, General Hind- man settled in Arkansas, where he sub sequently gained prominent position among the leading public men of that State. He was Representative from Arkansas in the Thirty Congress, and was reelected to the Thirty A the breaking out of the late war, he was among the first to buckle on his armor in the service of his adopted State, his military prestige and his position procuring for him at once the commission of Brigadier-G General. Subsequently he was commissioned as a Major which rank he held at the cessation of hostilities.
 General Hindman was dashing, fearless soldier, and, though fretting at times towards the close of the war at the control of those of his superiors whom he suspected of lack of military skill, was never found wanting when called upon to perform his part in the unequal struggle in which the army of Tennessee was so long engaged. It is impossible at the late hour at which we write to give anything more than this brief resume of the life and public ser vices of General Hindman. Nor have we the heart, were the data all at hand, to write more, so shocked are we now at the cruel telegram which lies before us, telling of the death, by the hand of a cowardly assassin, of this brave sol- dier, sitting quietly in his home with his wife near his side and his children all about him. It is hard to think that a man that has borne the brunt of a hum dred battles should be shot down when not dreaming of danger of any kind. But it is all too true, and this is the peace which Is vouchsafed to us

pay- Political revolution and the ex- citement consequent upon adjective campaign necessarily involve, to a greater or less degree, every individu- al who considers himself interested in the affairs of government. Conse- quently the question is often asked, yet seldom answered, What are the chances for the defeat of Radicalism, and what will be the consequences if it is defeated? Just now, when Radi- cal wrath andldesperation have reached its topmost night, it is matter of prime importance that this question should be fairly answered. As guar dians of the peoples interests it is due them we should tell the truth; as sen tries for the people we ought to make honest reports and warn only os real danger. Candidly, then, in very few words, we answer that the chances foi the defeat of Radicalism are very Hat tering; but in order that this party may be defeated vigilance is and will be required. No more can we defeat Radicalism by inactivity and incidence than we can by failing to vote. The chances for the success of principle in the coming contest is with every one an individual matter. If every one does his duty we surely will triumph if too many fail then the consequences of defeat will be, in our judgment, more severe than by many are imagin- cd. If we succeed, and they are de- feated, the consequences will be not as some imagine and the Radicals them- selves teach-war, turmoil, strife and civil commotion but peaceful ad- ministration of the government under the auspices of party supported by public opinion, against which no radi l. cal will dare, to murmer but in secret Let every timid citizen quiet his fears produced by these incendiary teachers and let the rabid hush every expres- sion of endorsement of wrong or vio- lence and let us all by our votes and our influence bring about the election of our ticket and thereby defeat radi- caliem and secure to our country a peace in which all men will have con fidence-

Sas- The postal service is being con- tracted in Arkansas. Fewer mails and more soldiers would appear to be the pressing want just nov in seyerh parts of the South.--N. |. Tribune
 This very quintesceuee of hatred with which the Radical party hate the people of the Sonth will crop out oeea- sionally in spite of the well dissembled cry of Let us have peaee.' This is the peace We may expect II the people of the north sustain the policy of the Radical party ia the coming election. Then we will have imported carpet baggers to valne and assess our prop srty, no mail facilities, no protection, except some musketry to drown the murmurings of discontent at the flagi- tious wrongs heaped upon us. They would place an iron mace in the hands of cold and cruel nature and gloat over the tyranny of his rule of our people. But tyranny and injustice cannot always triumph, and hateful tyrants, sooner or later, must receive that punishment which they merit.

GENERAL RoUssEAU.--This gentleman has been very favorably received by the people of New Orleans. He has been the recipient of a good deal of attention, and has had a Democratic clnb named after him. The New Or leans Picayune of the 25th says:
 At twelve o'clock last evening the Rousseau Guards called at the residence of Gen. Rousseau, on Appollo street, and presented their respects. Upon being called out, the General said
 "Gentleman of the Rousseau Guards : l thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me in the naming of your fine club, and in calling upon me this evening. I should be glad to ad- dress you at length, but have for the most part ceased making political speeches, deeming it inconsistent with my position as an officer of the army ; but of you l shall make an exception, and on some future occasion l shall be happy to visit you at your hall, and ad- dress you more at lenght than l can do at this late hour. With thanks for your kind wishes, therefore bid you good night"

CHAS. S. CAMERON,
NEVER GROW WEARY.
OF CROSS COUNTY.

For nearly two weeks there has been an almost perfect calm in politics. Everybody seems to have paused, that they may become spectators, or rather watch the. action of those great States that are to hold their elections on the 18th of this month, with the thought of tracing the final issue from their re- suits. There is no doubt but their &C., tion will exert a great influence with vast number of the northern people. but it should have nothing to do with the duty we have to perform. It can have no influence here, except to dis pirit in case of defeat where we look for victory. This defeat we have no reasonable grounds to suppose; but, in such an event, we should still labor as earnestly in the cause, even though we knew the final issue should go against Ns, for we should put ourselves upon record that we could be proud of fin after days. Now is the time, not only to be vigilant and watchful, lest we be- come supine and careless after so much enthusiasm but to work constantly and laboriously in making preparation and arranging the detail of duties for the hour of contest. There is no time 10 be wasted, for there is q work for every day between now and the cleo ton.
 In regard .to registration we fear numbers have had their fears of.not being allowed to qualify and vote lulled by the registrar giving them certificates of registration. Every one who was very closely questioned, or has any doubt of his case, should go to work at once to prove his right and not cease until he has brought everything to bear, that will reach the case. While inc board of revision is in session, our people should attend in numbers, and see that nothing is done contrary to the law, and that every act be public and known to all the people. We will not get fair registration unless we use all the means at our command to procure it. This matter Is entirely in partisan hands, and we know by past experience that they have no scruples when there is any advantage to be had. They will eliminate name after name if there is no protest offered, and proof ready to prevent it. Get all the proofs and certificates required and be ready to assert your right--then they dare not refuse to do you justice.
 Besides this kind of work, which Is individual, there are duties for clubs as organized bodies, to perform. They should know their strength, and the strength of the enemy; employ some of their most active and efficient mem- bers as canvassers, and appoint some organization to work on the day of eleation. Constant and unremitting effort judiciously applied never fail to accomplish the ends sought, and If we will not grow weary, but work to-day, work tomorrow, and work every day until the last hour, we may confident ly expect 10 be rewarded for our la bors by glorious victory.

MoB LAW IN KANsAs.-The Kansas City Times of the 29th contains the follow ing account of the action of mob in loyal Kansas" on the night of the l2st inst, Kansas ought to be regarded as a very good State to emigrate to. What with draught, grasshoppers, horse thieves, robbers and mobs, that State is about the next thing to the happy land of Canaan This is what the last mob is said to have done:
 Last Monday night, near Mound City, Kansas, drove of cattle numbering about fifty head was deliberately butchered by a mob of two hundred men. We did not learn the name of the owner of these cat tie, but he assured our informant that every steer in the lot was from Southern Kansas and that there was not Texas steer among them The mob surrounded his herd, took the herdsmen prisoners, and then commenced scene of wanton and indiscriminate massacre upon the poor brutes. After all was over the herdsmen were released and the mob dispersed.
