ment would become a military Gespot.
ism to be ruled by General GRANT as
long as he lives. Our neighbors of the
Iuteligencer, with some other of the
Radical papers, have changed the Ian
guage of the speech into threat of as
sassination. We have a rerbdtim report
of the speech before us, and what Gen
eral BLAIR did say is as follows:
"The point to which desire to bring
you is this, that in this struggle We
have every thing at stake; that 1T Is
the final and last struggle for the pres
ervation of free constitutional govern
ment in America; that if we fail in it
the Republic falls with us. 1t becomes
the mere appendagc of the military
chieftain who is elevated to power In
the name of the Presidency. But he
will never leave the Presidential man
sion as Iona as he lireS. / have nothing
to say against him personally; | have
no intention ef derogatipg from his
great merits as a soldier, and | have nc
desire to tarnish any of the laurels
which he won in the services that he
gave the country during the late war
But have just as little design of sur,
rendering absolute power into the hand:
of any man, no matter how illustrious
he may have made his name in this
great war"
What he is represented as having sale
! is, that if General GRANT was elected
"he will never leave the Presidential
mansion dlire; :" and this gross misrep
resentation, Ito use the mildest term w
can think of, is repeated and indorsed
10y the Intellgencer.

theless, he knew that he would
be gratified if on that special day
Colonel Osborne should be informed
that his wife was not at home. Wheth-
er the man were admitted or not, he
would beg his wife's pardon; but he
could, he thought, do so with more
efficacy and affection, if she should have
shown a disposition to comply with his
wishes on this day.

As she spoke the fire flashed from her

her sister well knew how to read. Then
there was a knock at the door, and they
both knew that Colonel Osborne was
there. Louis Trevelyan, sitting in his
library, also knew of whose coming

The Negro "RuIer., OF the South

The National Int.lligencer fills some ten
columns of its space, in two issues, with
accounts of recent negro outrages at
the South, gathered from its exchanges
and telGgraphic dispatches. We give
elsewhere a few specimen reports of
facts which are sufficiently revolving to
bring home to the attention of the peo-
pie of the North some of the sufferings
of their Southern brethren under the
new order of things which Radicalism
has established. Violation of women
and children by the brutal ruler" of the
South is of frequent and frightful oc-
currence in all the States. Such is the
state of things that white females, ex-
cept in populous localities, dare not go
abroad, or even remain at home, without
protection. This is the condition of
Southern society at nearly the end of
four years of peace" under Radical
rnle

A Truth, IL Horace Greeley Did
Suy 1t

1t is not a great while since the New
Yo k Tribune remarked that "The war
being over, we can no longer carry cleo
tions by reading bulletins of Union vic
tories, and exhorting the people to raj
ly round the flag And those pushing
General Grant for President will land
where the Wings did with Scott in 1852,
if they are allowed to have their own
way. They utterly mistake the time
of day" This is the truth, even if
Horace Greeley did say it. The Ameri-
can people have done with fuss and
feathers in civil station. The present
contest is one of principle-an issue of
constitutional government, and we re-
quire statesmen, not military heroes, to
fill the high places where laws are en-
acted and executed. General Grant did
very well as soldier and has been re-
warded with the chief command of the
army and swenty-thousanda year. Let
him retain his place. The country re-
quires the services of statesman, such
as Horatio Seymour, in the Presidential
| chair.

One of the most painful sensations on
undertaking journey is that of hav-
ing forgotten something. You feel it
and know it, and rack yonr brain with
the vain endeavor to know what il is.
With the first snort of the locomotive,
treacherous memory returns to duty,
and you realize that You have left your
overcoat, your too tn brush, your letter
of credit, your pocket-book, your any
thing which happens to be absolutely
indispensable. We know of lady who
started on three weeks visit, and, on
reaching the depot, found she had forgot
ten her baby! The best way for people
afflicted with this melancholy propensi-
ty to forget things, is to start three days
in advance of the time they want to 60.

Mr.. PENDLEToN, in one of his recent
and powerful speeches, presented the
following picture of Radical rule, and
its consequences upon the people and
their interests. He said The Radi-
Gals have not only perverted our Gov
ernment, but have bankrupted our
country; During these three years OF
peace we have collected fifteen hun
dred and ninety.four millions of dol
lars. One hundred and twenty-four
millions OF this have been paid on &C
count of the debt. What has become OF
the rest Fourteen hundred and twen-
ty millions vanished-who knows
where Tin three years! 1t has gone,
most of it, to the Freedmen's Bureau,
and to the costly military govern
ments so Reedlessly kept up in ten
States. 1t has gone to support the con-
stitutional amendments of Congress,
the scheme of negro suffrage, and the
Unsuitable carpet-baggers Fifteen hun
dred and ninety-four million dollars
That is more than one-tenth of all the
property in the country, money, crops,
houses, railroads, farms, tools and
everything else Great Britain, during
these same three years, spent one.
thirteenth, and France one-fortieth of
her resources. IT you are assessed on
all of it, it amounts to S34 46 i head for
every one of us. Our debt, under Rad.
ical rule, exceeds in its burden that o
any other country"

MARSHALL COUNTY.
KANAWHA VALLEY.

Reports from the Kanawha country
give the Radicals 10 majority in Ka-
nawha, 130 in Mason, and 100 in Put.
nam. Iu 1866 these counties gave a
Republican majority of Cos. Although
by this showing the Democrats have
gained there 265, we think the latter
figures below the mark, and have no
doubt that further returns will show
much larger gains.

The Judgeship.

A vast amount of interest centres in
tie Judicial election for this District.
The contest is exceedingly close, and
the friends of the respective candidates
arc very warm in proving the election OF
their respective candidates. The re-
suit seems to hinge on the vote in Han
cock county, aud as vast amount OF
telegraphing has failed to bring any
tiliugs from that county the friends OF

Congress, whose spirit is usurpa-
ton and defiance of the Constitution,
has declared that Virginia shall be al
lowed no share in the approaching cleo
ton. While the people of the Union
are preparing to choose the next Pres
ident, the Mother of Presidents" is
excluded from o voice in the election.
If Washington were to rise from the
dead on the Sd of November next, ne
would find himself disfranchised. The
reason is that Virginia, if allowed to
vote, would cast her ballot for the De

II is predicted that Mrs. Lincoln,
who, rumor hath it, intends to take up
her residence at Frankfort on the Main,
will be received in a very fiattering
manner in Germany, where Abraham
Lincoln's memory is revered. Perhaps
she might make very handsome thing

The ResuIIiu this sintc.

Although the returns from the late
election in this State come IN with pro.
yoking slowness, they indicate results
of the most satisfactory character. Toll
erably complete reports are in trom
about eighteen counties out of the fifty
three composing this State. They show
net Democrtic gain Of about twenty
five hundred, and the same ratio of gain
throughout the State, which ratio GER
t4inly exists, gives us Wes' Virginia
b. handsome majority.
All the Radical strougholds, or near
ly all, have been heard from. In nc
other quarter could the Radicals eI-
pect any gains on the majority of two
years ago. They have failed to receive
them even there, and of course can ex-
pect nothing but greater losses i'll the
Democratic regions from which we are
now beginning to hcer.
We look for Democratic gains in the
remaining counties, much larger than
in those that have been heard from. 1t
is true that their vote in the past has
not becu very heavy, but this fall their
registration has been immense, and in
some scctious unanimously Democratic.
The changes, too, from Radicalism to
Democracy, have been very great, and
these alone wonld almost give us the
State. Taking the new votes inte the
count, we are satisfied that the thirty
odd counties whose returns are not yet
IN, will give us amply sufficient gains
TO show a Democratic majority in the
State OF from twenty-five hundred to
three thousand.
lu the Legislature we have gained
handsomely. We have gained one Del
egatc in Jefferson, one in Hampshire,
one in Mineral, probably one in the
Grant and Hardy District, two in the
Peasants and Wood District, aud We
hope two in Harrison county, although
It Is claimed that DAVIS and WILSON
are beaten in the latter county by about
Is. HENRY G. DAVIS, Esq, is undOubt
edly elected TO the Senate from the
Hampshire District, and PETERSON, we
learn, has beaten FARNSwORTH in the
Opshur county District. These are boil
gains. In the Greenbrier region, anC
other distant portions of the State, We
shall certainly increase largely our
strength in the Legislature. There i:
every reason to believe that we shall
have a majority on joint ballot, ant
thus be able to send Democrat to th
t. ;. Senate as the successor of Mr.. VA
NINKLE. Two out of the three mem
OeTs Of Congress from this State seen
10 be ours, and the case of the third i
by no means hopeless.
With such results as these already
ASSURED, how thoroughly inspired 70
The work of November 81 should be ev
cry Democratic heart. The glorious
oeeds OF last Thursday thrilled the ma
uon from one end to the other. If W,
90 not talteI in the work we can Civ
the State to SEYMOUR and BLAIR by a
increased majority, and will make pei
manent and secure the fruits of Demo
cratic victory for which We have s
earnestly longed and so diligently Ia
bored.

The Rar,hquake i'm California.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 23.-Detalls
OF the destruction of property in the
interior of the State by the earthquake
On the 2lst has been received.
Alameda county suffered the most
damage to property, extending in all
directions back Of San Leandro. There
were numerous assures, from some OF
which came clouds of dust aud from
others volumes of water. San Leandro
Creek, which for months has been dry,
is now a running, rapid stream Of water,
and in some places hot water and steam
gushed forth. The villages of San Le-
andre and Haywards are almost in ruins,
the brick buildings being all thrown
down. Numerous wooden structures
were considerably damaged at Hay
wards. Only one building uninjured.
Alameda, Brooklyn, and Oakland all
suffered severely. The brick and adobe
houses of the mission at San Jose are a
mass of rains. At Sacramento, Stock
ton and Marysville the injury to build
ings was slight. Loss small.
Petaluma, Healthsburgh, Santa Rosa,
Vallejo and Martinez felt the full force
of the shock. Chimneys and fre-walls
were thrown down and the damage to
property was considerable. At Los
Angeles and Yisalia the shock was
slight, doing no damage. Santa Cruz,
Monterey and Wastonville suffered but
little loss. In the State of Nevada the
earthquake was scarcely felt.
The San Francisco committee of
Architects, appointed by the Board of
Supervisors, report the City Hall as I'M
safe. The building will be taken down,
and meanwhile the city officials and
courts will find another city building
not injured to any great extent as tenn
porary quarters. The damage to the
school houses was trihing. The schools
open as usual on Monday next. The
United States Marine Hospital build
ing has been condemned by the proper
authorities and will be demolished. The
patients are at present encamped on the
grounds adjoining the hospital, no
proper accommodations being provided
for them as yet. The Custom
House was wrecked to such an extent
as probably not to be occupied again.
The officials have removed temporarily
to Haywood's building, on California
street.
An army of laborers are at work to-
day on the shattered buildings, remov-
ing the debris from the streets. The
are showing no disposition
to abandon their property on the lOca-
tien. Some structures are being taken
down and others repaired. The werk of
rebuilding presents busy scene. Shock
Is to-day done more damage to the in
jured buildings. Some chimneys of the
different manufactures which suffered
considerably from the first shock will
have to be taken Down and rebuilt. No
definite estimate of the damage to
can be made until survey of
the entire city is had. Some place the
loss at $500, 900, others 100000; the
latter figures are probably the nearest
to the true loss, as quite number of
have been torn down and re
and extensive repa rs made
to many more.
1t is reported that the United States
Sub-Treasury shipped, secretly, half a
million Of dollars in gold coin to Wash
ington on yesterdays steamer, making
a total of S5,OO0,000 shipped since Jan
uary lst.
