COUNTY AND TOWN ORGANIZATION.

COUNTY AND TOWN UhdaSiLaiiOS'
The article adopted by the Convention on
county and town organization 1eariuiiy lnten
SITES the practical operation of this universal
negro, and restricted white, suffrage. The
counties are all divided into townships, the
smallest to contain at least three. For each
county there are to be one county Judge, one
sheriff, one attorney for the commonWeaith'
one clerk, one county treasurer, oue
perintendent of the poor, one superintendent
of schools. In each township in the county
there are to be one supervisor, one township
clerk, one assessor, one collector, one commis
sioner of roads, one oyerseer OF tue poor
three justices Of the peace, three consul,
bles. The townships are further sub. dlvlded
into school districts and road districts; ana
in each school district and each road dis
trict there are to be one school trustee and one
oyerseer of roads. All of these officials, ex-
cepting the county Judge and the superintend-
ent Of schools, are to be elected by the peo.
pie. The smaller counties will have ABOUT
sixty Of these petty officers the larger, ABOUT
two hundred.
In large majority Of the counties east Of
the Blue Ridge-had the Convention stopped
at this point, which they by no means did-all
Of these officers would be negroes, or deprayed
whites under the control of the negroes. In
Nottoway county lin 1862 there were 2,27o
white persons, and 8, ,566 negroes. Imagine the
condition Of the whites In the county under
such system. A negro sheriff, u negro at.
torney for the common nwealth, q negro county
treasurer, negro superintendent OF the poor,
negro supervisors, negro assessors, negro col.
iectors negro school trustees, negro consta-
bles, negro township clerks, negro oyersaers
OF the roads, negro magistrates.
In Halifax county, by the census OF 1850, the
population stood II 900 whites to 4, 900 blacks;
ia Prince George there were 2.9lS whites to
6.4az blacks In Prince Edward there were

The Hon, w. II. WadswoFth. Of
kentucky, a supporter Of McClellan
IN 1854, thus effectualy dispOses the
Democratic cry that the supporters Of
Grant propose to make this a Black
Mans Government, by showing that
the Republican party has given us the
only white mans government we ever
had. Col. WadsWOrth says.
The Democratic party wants white
mans government. The Republican
party has given us the only white
mans government we ever had. Be
fore slavery was abolished. we had q
black mans government. Slavery cOn-
trolled the government. The black
man drew Pierce and Polk from their
Obscurity, and placed them in the
Presidential chair. The black man
made the war with Mexico: he repeal
ed the Missouri COmprOmise. and gave
US the Kansas and Nebraska tr0ubless
and finally the black man tore the
Union all to pieces, and caused the
war in which the blOOdOfOur children
was sned. The black mans Governs
ment made the debt about which al
this elamOF is raised by the Democratic
leaders. It is true the black man did
not do these things of his own vOlitiOn.
He had no speech in the matter, but
as soon rs he was placed in a position
to speak he said huzza for the United
States. [Great applause Now, it is
a white mans government, with no
more voting for men not allowed to
vote for themselves We got this
white mans government By fighting
for it. We got it through shot and
shell, through fatigue and starvatiOns
and Imprisonment; through lingering
deaths in AndersOnville prison pens
by the blood which animated the
brains Of soldiers you see spattered
upon the flag The speaker referred
tothe flag OfCOlonel Glover regiment,
and which was unfurled on his left.
The stains of blood and brains of a
young man who was killed by a shell
while carrying the flag, in the Army
OF the Potomac, were still plainly vis-
ible.] All, let that speak while L am
silent.

What tis the matter with BrOwnville? q?
1t was my privilege to spend a few
days with the good people Of Brown
vile, and we had occasion to notice
that something was the matter with
the people and the place. Some nine
or ten years ago we first passed through
Brownville. We then thought it the
tidiest, brightest, and neatest place on
the river from st. Joe to Nebraska
City. But that was in mid winter.
The ground was white with snow.
and the air was full of the feathery
flakes. Now, it was the last of sum-
mer. Nature everywhere in and
around BTOwnYille gave unmistakable
evidence that she had been profuse
with her favOrs. Yet something was
the matter with BrOwnville. All larOund
it was plain to be seen that the peO-
pie of BrOwnville were dissatisfied
and discontented. Manifest disquie-
tUde was depicted everywhere. Old
buildings that had done good service
for long years We're being torn down,
or enlarged and remOdeled. Beauti-
ful new brick business houses had been
erected, a large High School Building
of the same material, churches no
where to be seen a few months since
have sprung up, the streets were lined
with huge piles of old brick and refuse
timbeTs, telling plainly that something
is the matter with BTOWnville.
We noticed but few places where
the grass was allowed to grow, but all
around the people were digging down
and filling up. Piles of fresh dirt dug
from the hill side, or some cellar, well, !,
or cistern, were lying around loose,
making it absolutely unpleasant if
not dangerous to perambulate the
streets. Over and through the steep
and rugged hill sides, north, south.
east and west, the brush was being
cleared away, deep channels cut, ra-
vines filled up, Goods green earth"
rudely "trampled under foot" and
man, weak and feeble man, doing ap-
parently his utmost to improve upon
the works of nature. To accomplish
all this, labOrers and mechanics are
being Impressed into the service. A
citizen of Nebraska City, and well
known as one of our b6Rt artisans
while standing with me upon one Of
the hill sides in BTOwnville, and point
ing out the changes that had taken
place, in which he had been pIErsuuded
to take a part, added: II haven {
been home since the fourth of July"
Greenbacks, and all sorts of filthy
lucre," are unceremOniOusly shaken

Mr. PendletOn has just been sum-
m0hed home by the Ohio Democracy,
and has thrown up all his appoint
ments to speak in Illinois. The fol-
lowing telegram to Springfield, ILL.,,
explains all:
CINCINNATTI, o., Sept. /, 1868.

"Just arrived at home. The con-
ClitiOn of oar cdRUGSs iR Ohio requires
me to Withdraw all my appointments

This was before Vermont had put in
her staggerer.
The Cincinnati Chronicle predicts
a Republican majority of four thou
sand in the county of Hamilton and
over forty thousand in this State.
There are more than twelve hundred
Grant and Tanner clubs in operation.
The dissatisfaction in the Third di-
strct is intense. Neither christopher
Huges nor General Austin Ward will
take any part in the canvass; and
VallaDdigham himself has not re-
mained at home since the nomination.
It will require the severest applica-
ton Of the party whip TO bring out
a full vote in October. He is openly
denounced as ''sOrdidly mean and
meanly sordid in money matters"
jealous and treacherOus, and as having
defeated Mr.. Pendleton.

The Coming ran Fashions.

1t will gladden. the heart of Flora
McFlimsey to know that the Broad
way houses have opened the season
with a magnificent assortment of
silks. White silks and satins for
wedding robes, at SD per yard, are
superb beyond description. AmOnr
black silks, cashmere cesOie, and drap
de France are the finest. These are
thTee-qUarters of a yard in width, and,
range from 81 so to S11 a ward. The
old fashioned changCable silks. some
of them exceedingly handsome are
from S4 IS $3.50 q yard. These silks
are durable as well as handsome.
They will be very fashionable this
winter. Striped silks range from
81 . to $3.50. These stripes are ofaII
cOlOrs. The most brilliant blue.
eranange, green or cherry, are on q
dead white ground, which makes.
them very desirable for evening
Heavy plaid silks, which, of course
are always worn, are 50 per yard.
Scotch and Mackenzie plaid serges
(green and blue) are to be especially.
fashionable for suits. Striped serges
for suits viii also be very stylish, aa
well as the changeable half-silk and
English SergeS. InOSe who are fond
of gay colOrs viii be charmed with the
velour plaids, which areentireIy new;
also plaid French pOplins, which ar8
all silk and wool. Both Of these STYLES
are three-quarteTs of yard in width.
and s. a yard. The brOcades-eri-
brOiderGd figures on a black ground
are 81 p per yard. This is sold for
trained dresses, and isvery handsOme
for the house. The new shawls and
Marie AntOinette capes, which arc
composed of round point and pplique,
are extremely elegant They vary
from s. 2j to So 80. Sets TO match are
composed of handkerchief, collars and
cuffs. Among bOnuets. the Victoria
FanchOn will be the favOFite Among

Since the Democrats are so fond Of
making exhibits in figures, it seems
to bethe disposition Of the Republicans
to give them all they want. Mr..
Blaine, in a speech before the House
of Representatives shows not only
that Mr.. Buchannan's expenditures
were heavier in proportion than those
since the Republicans came into pow
er, but wherein his expenses were eX-
cessive. The army, under Mr.. Bu-
Chanan's War Minister, cost S22, ,00O,s
600 annually, for nineteen regiments,
or considerable over S1, 900, 600 per reg.
iment in gold. Under Gen. Grant,
sixty regiments cost for the year only
S33, 900, 900, or a little over half a nil
ion per regiment in paper. AT the
same eXtravagant rate of expenditure
as that INDUCED in under Mr.. Bdch-
anan, our present army would cost
over so, 600, 900 annually in gold, OF
SlO0, 100000 in paper. Even Presid-
ent Johnson had been compelled to
admit seen. Grants judiciOus .ecOn-
Omy as the direct cause Ofsaving many
millions to the Treasury
The estimates for the navy are equal
ly disparaging to bOasted democratic
economy. Our little navy cost over
S13, 10000 a year in gold during the
reign Of the would be ''last of the
Presidents Our estimates for the
current year are only SIS, ,000, 900 i'm pa
per tor a vastly larger force. Practic-
ing democratic economy we might
put them at $50, ,000, GOO.
The pOst-Offiee expenes. under dem
Ocratic rule, were from $, 600, 900 To
81 900, 600 a year in gold. With a
vastly increased postal service, we are
able to get along with 81, 800, ,0O0a year
in paper. The comparisons might be-
extended throughout all the depart
ments and their branches with like
results. But we have given enough
to show the difference between the
asserted republican extravaganza and
the bOsted democratic economy.
Yet, 'inheriting q bankrupt treas
ury, q dishonest credit and a gigantic
rebellion all the while we have
been accused Of eXtravaganee-aR ex-
travagance which puts democratic
economy to shame-We have been
encouraging industry and enterprise.
and carrying on improvements on
such scale as was never realized
and never could be realized, under
democratic rule. Our rivers and harb-
Ors bear witness in our favor, and we
have a railroad to the Pacific well und-
er way. Our industries are thriving,
