REMARKS OF THE HON. T. W. GLOVER.
The venerable President (Hon. T. W. Glover)
made short but impressive allusion to the
occasion which assembled the Orangeburg De-
mocracy, reviewing the past and its issues.
He said: Where was the promised peace,
when our soldiers lay down their arms
What was the government that contr oiled us
as a people? Was it not despotism, an
organization formed by party, whose only
incentive was vengeance and hate? It was to
restore and re-estabGsh o goverum ent OF
peace, prosperity and security, that our peo-
pie we're upholding the banner of Seymour and
Blair. Your only hope is in, and your overy
effort must be given to, the Democratic party.
Judge Glover said he did not wish to detain his
listeners from hearing those friends who had
come from distance to address them. His
Honor then introduced, with happy references
to his career, the Hon. A. P. Adrich, not only
the defender of his neighbor, but the defender
OF his imperilled country.
SPEECH OF HON. A. P. ALDRIcH.
Judge Aldrich said:
MFR. President L tdies and Gentlemen: con-
graf late you that, despite the inclemency of
the weather and the difficulties under which
YOU suffer on account thereof, you are true

Third District, where neither rain nor storm
can impair your zeal, will not be confined to
Orangeburg alone, but will spread beyond its
limits and wake up old Barnwell, and soon will
be sent back her loud acclaim. Why are you

The Evangelization OF Female Heathens

The public will be gratifed to
learn that a movement is on foot
whereby the great West expects to
cooperate with the East in the ardu-
Gus work of ovangelizing female
heather, or heatheuish, females
The reader is cautioned, just here, to
hold his enthusiasm in proper con-
troll, and by no means to permit his
Imagination to anticipate facts.
Nothing would be more natural
than to suppose, upon q cursory
glance at the announcement, that
this movement for the evangelization
Of femaie heather or heathenish fe-
males comprehends crusade against
chignons, waterfalls, cosmetics, arti-
fetal charms, tight lacing, deep~cut
dresses, the "GrecianBend ETC., etc.
But the natural supposition does not
happen to be the true one. The
movement is solely in the interests of
female heather or heathenish females
Gin heathenish lands, and as that i'm
plies place where males as we'll as
females are heathens-some foreign
country, possibly England or France,
or Germany, or Turkey-anywhere
but America, where fig leaves and
the Gospel are not in demand

Strange Historical Revelations.

Nj. Charles de Grille, a French
maa, whom King Leopold of Belgi-
um employed for sixteen years as a
confidential diplomatic agent, has
just published a volume of personal
"reminiscences, in which he says that
he visited New York and Washing
ton in 1861, 1862 1864, and that eve
rything be saw there at that time,
led him to believe that the Southern
Confederacy would succeed in estab-
fishing its independence. In New
York he was introduced to leading
merchants and bankers, who boast
ed of the aid which they had given
to Southern rebels, and in Washing
ton he saw prominent Government
officers and even Generals of the ar
my in the most suspicious intimacy
with men whom he knew to be
agents of the Richmond government.
NJ. de Grille says that in 1862 not
foreign diplomatist in Washington
believed in the success Of the Union
cause, and such was tho corruption
Of many Of the Government officers,
and the impudence of the rebel en-
issaries, that one of the most emf
nent members Of the diplomatic
corps said to him There is no way
of saving this country except by q
wholesale fnsilade. There are here
in Washington at least 1000 men
whom the President should order to
be shot for tho good of the country"
lie says, Furthermore, that nothing
in his life ever astonished him 80
much as the news of the sudden coll
lapse of the Confederacy, and, in re.
GARD to the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth,
he remarks that one of the most sin
gular features Of the American re-
bellion is, that the rebels, murderous
and treacherous as was their spirit,
allowed Mr. Lincoln to live so long,
when they might have killed him
any day without mourning great per
sonal risk. 1t was owing to these
reports that King Leopold of Belgi-
UNI lost faith in the ultimate triumph
of the Union cause, although he
warmly admired this country, and
at the breaking out Of the rebellion
expressed the most unfeigned regret.
Had he not considered the success of
the Southern Confederacy perfectly
certain, he would never have con-
sonted to Mhximilian's expedition to
Mexico. - Cincinnati Commercial.

Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

We have before rs two Virgins
papers of the Seymour stripe. On,
is the Lynchburg Firqiniaa, the 9th
er, the Petersburg Express. Boil
discuss the October elections with
frankness and evident sincerity
Says the Express
-" We are in no manner responsible
for the result-be it for good or i'll
Seven years ago we undertook &c
put the country to rights, and fail
ed. We now stand aside, and the
North undertakes TO do the same
Should they succeed, it will be bet
ter for them and us. We can afford
to concede them at least q principal
part in the enterprise, because they
embark a greater stake and invest
mcnt in the adventure If they fee
safe TO decline all aid at our hands
it is some mitigation that they ex
euse us from all responsibility under
the circumstances"
This is cruel. The Express seems
to forget the distinguished honor be-
slowed upon the Southern delegates
in the Ta'umany Convention, the
tireless zeal and singleness OF pur.
pose displayed by the Northern De-
mocracy in the lost cause Had the
Democracy but served the country
with half the zeal it served the insur>
gents, it would not have been thus
exposed to the butfetings of outrage>
Gus fortune, and the wicked jibes of
ingrates. But the Firginlan is, in
some still worse. 1t says
. Oar wors tfears have been real
lied in the reports that have reached
US of last Tuesdays work in Penns-
ylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The
conservative forces have been beaten,
and that badly-much worse than
we expected. The election of Grant,
so far as we can see, is assured, and
the radical party will have another
lease of four years on the Govern
ment
We have done all that we could
short Of absolute degradation, to
show that We were willing, in good
faith to accept the Legitimate issues
of the war. But that is not enough.
Self-abnegation, sycophancy, humil>
iation in tie very dust, and a total
surrender Of our manhood, by &C.
quiescence in the wicked effort to
make us the subjects of an alien and
inferior race, are the conditions by
which our loyalty is to be test cd
God forbid that we should ever sur,
ren der all that will secure us 3 name
and a place in the affections of our
posterty the sacrifice Of which
would cause those who shall come
after us to blush for their ancestry.
No f! no thousand times no We
can never yield that.
All this frantic kicking against
the pricks amounts to nothing. A
few months of Grants Wholesome
rule will put an end to all that The
vaporing Of traitors is harmless, and
with the Vicksburg of October, fol-
lowed by the Richmond of Novem-
Der, the dogs of the rebellion will all
be teethless.

Grants Policy and Practice.

The Army and Nary Journal hal
an article about General Grant, a,
President, from which we make ar
extract. 1t says:
We may safely predict that the grea
word of the hour, the great feature tc
strike all observers. so soon as Gen,
eral Grant has been month in pow
er, will be the confidence inspired in
people of all parties and political
creeds.
Grant, as o soldier, understands
well the bounds of coordinate and
subordinate authority. Congress
will not be suffered to encroach npo n
his prerogative as the Executive
nor will he attempt to encroach up
on Congress as the legislative de-
partment of Observation-Disclosures
ion simple enough, it should seem to
be. A soldier is both used to com
mand and obey-an admirable train>
ing, say what civilians will, for any
administrative officer, from pound-
keeper up to President.
We shall make bold to predict that
he will realize, moro than any ma n
who has sat in the Chief Magistrate S
chair since Andrew Jackson, the er-
ecuttce idea, which should be the cen
trail idea connected with the Presi>
dency. The truth is, that of late we
seem to have gone into a wrong no.
ton of the Presidential ffice. Men
like Buchanan and Johnson have so
perverted the public mind, that when
General Grant annouced that, If cleo
ted, he should have no political polls
cy Of his own to follow out, even his
supporters were little confused,
and his enemies broke out into a
storm of rage. hat ? no poIicg |!
What does the man mean Never
was such thing heard of.
But General Grant was right. The
country has twice been nearly ruins
ed by its Presidents devotion to
some pet political theory. A man
with a theory is dangerous fellow
hunc tn Romano caueto Buchanan
had political doctrine that if the
Union should be smitten by South
ern State on the cheek, its cCnstitu-
tional duty was to turn and beg q
Northern State to smite it on the
other. Rather than give up that
theory, he saw the United States dis
unite under bis own eyes, though he
was the guardian Of the Union
General Grant has got tired of the
pirate about "policy," and proposes
to introduce US to little :. practice.
His past is 3 guarantee Of bis future.

Union of Churches.

The AdUance, q religious paper
published in Chicago, contained an
article last week under the head of
Cuisines in Religion" which is wor-
thy of attention. The AdUdnce cites
the extravagant expenditures for
churches in the large cities, and the
comparatively limited accommoda.
tons furnished by them. We copy
that portion of the article which app
plies to the condition of affairs in the
smaller cities and villages.
"There are in your village five
hundred evangelical Christians In
stead of sinking your denominational
differences and uniting in one church
to work for Christ, thus supporting
handsomely one faithful minister, and
presenting bold aggressive front to
all tho powers of surrounding evil,
you split up into five bodies of differ
ent aud antagonistic purposes, build
FIVE edifices, and employ at a poor dy-
ing rate five ministers, who are forced
to labor, not SO much tojmake Chr st-
ians as to manufacture Baptists, Con
gregationalists, Episcopalians, Meth
odists, Presbyterians. No wonder
that the number of thinking Christ
ian men who will not knowingly give
money to encourage such state of
things is every day increasing,
But it is objected, the union of
all in one church, under such circum>
stances is impracticable.' 1t is i'm
practicable am ong those who love
sectarianism moro than Christianity ;
among no others. The practicability
of uniting Christians of every name
to work for Christ is abundantly
demonstrated by the success of the
Young Mems Christian Association
in all our large. cities 1t is more-
ovor demonstrated in actual church
organizations. In Oberlin, for TWEEN
ty years or more, there wax but one
church, embracing livs loving Christ
ians of almost every name. 1t erect
ed, in 1914, an edifice that seated
1000 persons, and in that church were
witnessed more revivals and more
conversions than probably ever
blessed any other American church
in the same time.
The churches of all evangelical de
nominations have been losing aggres
sive power for the last quarter OF q
century. Congregationalists have lost
much of the solf-absorption in holy
cause that distinguished their Puri-
tan ancestors. Episcopalians cannot
now ait on a plain board as did
Washington in Christ Church, Phlla-
delphia, eighty years ago, and just in
proportion as Methodists build fash
ionable churches they descend from
their chariots of fire and come down
to very numbering vehicles. Because
modern churches are losing their az
gressivs power and failing to do the
work that properly belongs to them
Young Mems Christian Associations
are springing up to supplant theil
shortcomings, and if they do not wish
to be stranded high and dry, and lef
as useless hulks they must return e
their work with renewed consecra
ton and not only put more religion
into their bushes, but more business
into their religion"

Frank Blair's Threat.


From the st. Louis Democrat Oct. 19th.l
The speech of Blair on FRIDAY
night con tanned one very remarka
bic declaration. Speaking of Gener-
Grant, he used the following words
"The military chieftain who is lifted
to power in the name of the Presi-
dent, but Who a0iU neuer teaUe the
Presidential Manson aliue I" The
crowd received this strange dsclara-
ton with cheers. We remember
that these same men had no tears to
shed when Lincoln was slain by an
assassin. We remember that three
Presidents have enever left the Press
idential Manson alive" and in each
instance the Blair family gained in
power by the change. Does Gener-
al Blair mean what he says?
We have no desire to misrepresent
him. All know that he is in the
habit of using words very recklessly.
But, on this occasion, be spoke with
great deliberation, slowly, and with
intense earnestness, throwing all the
emphasis of force and gesture that he
can command upon the closing word.
Alive r. A Great sensation, and
loud yeis from the rebel portion Of
the audience, showed that they un>
derstood the words just as we did.
"Wili never leave the Presidential
mansion alice I" Strange words,
these, to fall from the lips Of a candi
date for the Vice Presidency! We
are tempted to ask whet Their, in event
of Mr.. Seymour's election, he would
ever leave the Presidential mansion
alive Is it indeed true, as Wendell
Phillips has asserted, that assassina-
ton has become an important ele-
ment in American politics?
If General Blair does not mean
what he says, he owes an explana,
ton and apology to every respecta-
bic man who supports him. He is
reported TO be high in tho councils,
if indeed, he was not one Of the orig
inators, of a secret organization of
Democrats, whose purposes are
known only by it's deeds. Knowing
that such reports are ahoat, knowing
that his violent and revolutionary
letter has alarmed even his own par>
ty to propose his removal from the
ticket, General Blair would natural,
ly be very cautious in the use of Ian
guage. 1t is hardly possible that in
very slow and deliberate speech,
with such peculiar emphasis, he said
something that he did not mean to
say. We repeat, then, what does
this declaration mean?

AN UNIQUE ELECTIoN-A very
curious election has been held in
Chill. The people of that country
have had some apprehensions that
they were to be visited by an earth
quake. They have had, it is said, the
same premonitory signs, whatever
they were, which preceded the terri-
bic earthquake in Peru, last August.
They, therefore, deemed it advisable
to elect patron saint to interccde
for them, thai the unprecedented cali
amity be avorted. The election took
place on the 9th of September. The
Valparaiso Mercurio says the favorite
candidate was Jesus Christ, the "ad-
orsbe Savior of the world" who
polled 1896 votes ''the most holy
Virgin" followed with 4, 132 sundry
other saints put in poor show,
polling in the aggregate 384 votes
After the election lie Deum was sung
and sermon pronounced in csIebra-
ton of the joyful event.
