few weeks, aud observe for themselves
and we venture the opinion that Repub'
leans aud Democrats alike would for the
frat time realize the political bondage to
which the people Of this State are sub
lee ned. aud the hideous structure erected
over their liberties aud rights.
How much the people ofthe North care
for such facts remains to be seen. Ger
tainly the whole Radical portion is
delighted. The Richmond Dispatch
says Of thisVatter:
None Of the Statas under Radical
tyranny suffer so severely as South
Carolina. Very many OF her people are
seeking homes in Virginia-where they
are so heartily welcome. and where We
trust they will fad relief from their
afilictions-or, at least, as much consola-
ton as can come TO the stricken hearts Of
those who are compelled by intolerable
oppression, and the poverty that lows
from it, to leave their own land and seek
shelter .elsewherei Numbers of these
worthy people are in the valley and in
West Virginia near the Alleghanies.
From the sad stories Of these citizens we
can fully appreciate the dark picture
Of social and political affairs drawn by
he Charleston Courier.

The Pre.ident aud Ten.es..s.

Does Andrew johnson owe nothing Of
self-sacriice to Tennessee or the coun-

rowerless Has he done all he could,

do in the future. But we must confess
that the following utterance Of the Nash

posed interference in behalf Of Tennes-
see, is not without force to our mind.
He has left undone much that he should
have done:
Ordinary prudence dictates that we
Mace but little reliance in bis words Of
Of omise. We have had similar reports
before, and we know what didn't come
of them. If mere words would redeem

Experience has proven that some
thing more than words are neces-
sary. Until something more be forth

New Recruits.

Every indication to be discovered in
the political horizon is favorable to the
Democratic cause. Every day brings its
new facts and encouraging circumstances
and fresh arguments. As Democrats we
have reason to be encouraged as never
before-as patriots reason to rejoice and
be glad already at the Frightening skies.
The New York World, in the paragraph
which follows. speaks fact which is
extremely significant, and We are pleased
to add, is to an extent as true of this acc
ton as it is of that:
There is scarcely Democrat In the
country, who cannot name one or more
Of his hitherto mongrel acquaintances,
who are not heartily ashamed Of their
party, and who are to vote in November
for Seymour and Blair. We are daily
gaining from the other side at rate
which will give us a tremendous majority
in the aggregate vote of the country.
The Pittsburg Post says it can name
eighty men, who have hitherto voted
agrinst the Democracy, who will
now vote with them. We, our
selves, can cite at least half that pgm-
Der. Every single vote thus brought
over, makes count of too on our side;
and herein lies the secret Of the great and
staggering results which are to appal the
miserable vagabonds who have so long
been political nuisance to this afflicted
people. Whes every individual Demo
crst can name one or more Of the other
side who have repented Of their huge
crimes, and are willing to endeavor TO
undo the mischief they have aided to
hatch, and when not a man Of
that miserable horde can give the
name of a single Democrat who is
an spostste to his party in this
present crisis of the nation, we have
pretty strong faith that truth, though
crushed toearth, will 10 time, arise again.
1t has been so crushed for eight long
years; but noy it is about 10 make one
desperate struggle for supremacy oyer
wickedness aud error, and it will be sue
cessful. Seymour and Blair will be
elected, and by larger majority than
has been footed up by any victorious
political party in this country in the
past half century.

A SLIGHT Mistake.

The notorious Huunicutt in Virginia
has discovered that the party has commit
ted considerable mistake. As there are
no votes wanted just now, be speaks out
q little frankly to the negroes, just as all
the Radicals do when they have got the
Offices and have no further use for them.
The Nep Nation has the following para
graph: I M
II the vast amount Of money which has
been spent in creating and keeping up
the Freedmen's Bureau had been spent in
buying up lands and giving permanent
homes to the poor and destitute OF both
races, the results would have been per-
manent and lasting. As it is, the desti-
tute of both races will be left almost as
helpless and dependent when the Bu-
reau closes as they were when the
Bureau first began to relieve them.
Thousands of small homes might have
been purchased in all sections of the
South, the poor and dependent could
have been conveyed to these several To-
caiities, ssj implements of agriculture
furnished them. add they could have
been put to work, and BY this time could
have been able to take care Of and SUPP
mort themselves. As it is, the poor re-
main poor, will be left poor, and com
pletely at the mercy of the landholders.
We by no means wish to be considered
as fault finder, but we do think a great
mistake has been made.
And in the following he says plainly

says:

Washington.

The Democratic National Committee
here has received fattering adVioes of
our prospects in West Virginia. 1t is
claimed that the Democrats will make q
clean sweep in November, carrying the
State for Seymour and securing the legis-
lature, which elects Senator and two
congressman. Montgomery Blair will
canvass that State.
Rollins says he never will accept Sec
yetsry MoCuIloch's proposition that one
half Of the reyenus supervisors shall be
Conservatives. He admits that all his
nominations are Republicans, but claims
that they are capable and honest. This
dead lock will continue until Rollins is
forced to vacate.
This evenings papers assert that in
view of his prospective certain defeat,
without some change is effected, Grants
keepers will concoct letter for him,
taking a conservative position. The re-
port needs confirmation.
The instructions to hosecrsns are not
specific or in detail regarding any par
ticular interest or course. The only
thing that partskes Of the character of
particular ipstrg etion is the emphatic in
junction to keep entirely aloof from the
controversies of various factions in MsKi-
co, and remain entirely neutral, Rose
Grams has leave Of absence till October
first.
The business Of the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue, so far as the appointment OF
supervisors provided for by the new law
10 concerned, has come to dead lock,
and Secretary AoCg!loch, on Saturday,
absolutely declined the appointment Of
persons recommended by Rollins unless
be could dictate the names of an equal
number.
This Is IN pgrspauce of determine
ton on the part Of the President and
those members of the Cabinet Who side
with him to give more active support to
Seymour aud Blair. There are indloa-
tons that the influence Of the Postotiice
Department will be exerted In the same
direction, and it is understood that Mr..
Randall, who has made an arrangement
satisfactory to himself With the Demo.
cratic leaders, is to give his personal
counsel in regard to the organization of
the party and the conduct Of the cam
paign in the Northwest
The oft-repeated assertions of promi-
nent journals that the Administration
does not favor the Democratic nomins-
ton are wholly lnfounded. There is
absolutely no question about the matter,
The President and four members Of his
Cabinet-McCu lloch, Randall, Browning
and WelIes-are outspoken and unhesi-
tatingly in favor of the election of Ssy-
mour and Blair. Mr.. Seymour is advised
of their support. One Who has converssd
with Mr.. Seward on the subject defines
the lstter's position thus he wants
Grant and Colfax defeated, but does not
want Seymour and Blair to do it-LoUis
vile Courier special.

order which has recently broken out
among the cattle in the city. Every new
drove that arrives is thoroughlyinspected,
and when any symptom of plague
is visible, they are condemned. On
Monday eighteen animals, from Missouri,
were taken to the cattle yard, on
One Hundredth street, near East
river, where two Of them we're suisse
quently discovered to be suffering
from the disease. One of them being un-
able to stand, and another sick, were de-

teen, which were apparently well, have
been quarantined.
A woman was arrested, as o vagrant,
in Brooklyn, yesterday, who had two lit
tie girls with her. They denied that she
was their mother, and the affair is sup

A street stabbing ARRAY occurred on
Atlantic street, Brooklyn, on Monday
night, in which Thomas Cunningham,
a young man, was stabbed by German
named Rondelestel. The wounded man
died yesterday and Bondelestel was ar.

deceased, but claimed that it was done
in self-defense, which statement was
corroborated by those who saw the oc-
cnrrpnne.
