Arrest OF Gorge francis Train

The Fenian panic in Great Britain
has instigated an act which may give
rise to serious complications. On the
arrival of the steamship Scotia at
Queenstown, on the 18th inst, George
Francis Train and Messrs. Gee and
sGrinnell, all passengers from New
York, were summarily arrested It
is said that the cause of their appre-
hension was the alleged fact that they
were prominent members of the
American branch of the Fenian or
ganization. .@I 1t is reported that an
Irish paper, found In Mr.. Train 5
trunk led to his detention, while it is
hetherwise asserted in our cable dis
patches that no suspicious documents
were discovered in his Possession.
Mr.. Train processes to have gone to
ireland to act as correspondent for a
New York journal. We know nothing
of his fellow prisoners, or the specific
evidence in their case. 431J
In regard to Mr.. Train it is import
ant to observe that Great Britain has
no claim upon him even under her
old naturalization laws. He is a ma
tive born American citizen, and has
never, so far as we have learned, abb
jured his nationality He has not
been. in England since. the beginning
of the Fenian outbreak, and eonse-
quently can have violated no English
laws. Whatever he may have said or
done in this country eau give Eng
land no right to imprison him. Until
he had committed offenses against
British statutes, and within their ju-
risdiction, he could not, rightfully, be
. taken into custody
Unless such offenses can be proved
against Mr. Train, his arrest-Ras- an
outrage, which our Government can
not overlook During the rebellion,
the seizure of Mason and Siidel, an
act which had far greater color Of law
than that of Mr.. Traiu, aroused gen
eral indignation Ia Great Britain, and
our authorities were compelled to give
up the captiyes. The tables are now
turned, and England. threatened by
the Eeniau conspirators, cannot pru-
IDENTIFY refuse speedy and ample rep
aration.

Express Companies Arrangement.

From the Pittsburg Commercial.
The recent arrangement between
the several express compa MES of the
United States Is imperfectly under
stood, many believing that a eonsoli-
dation has taken place and a greater
monopoly than ever in the Carrying
trade established. The basis of the
agreement between the companies is
to cease the cutting of prices and
thus insure reasonable dividends to
stockholders. To this end common
tariff of rates is being arranged. based
upon the cost of transportation. aud
is being put in operation as speedily
as possible. The companies have
practically adopted the origiHai tariff
of the Merchants Union, and this
latter company still retains absolute
control of its lines and routes. The in
terchange Of freight. money anu pack
ages between the sever;l companies is
another part of the agreement, which
Will inure to the benefit of the public
as well as stockholders. We see by
the United States revenue reuIrDS
that the earnings of the four express
companies, who are parties to this
agreement, are on the average about
81, 100000 per month in round num-
bers; $40, ,000, 900 per year. If, there
fore, they save but % per cent. of
their earnings, they can pay over 10
per cent. annual dividends, or five
per cent. semi-annually. which is
equal to any of the most prosperous

CHI A R TON.
MONDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1868.
What November will Decide.

What have the Radicals done for the
Southern States? They have established
negro supremacy at the point of the bayo-
net. They have, as far as they could, sub
jected the white men and women Of. the
South to the brutal barbarism of their former
slaves. They have elevated ignorance,
crime and lust into the high places of honor,
integrity and trust. They have overrun
the South with canting carpet-baggers, with
plundering adventurous, with swindling seal
lawags. They have placed the political
power ofthe State governments in the hands
of negro emissaries and Bureau agents.
They propose to grind from the people their
last dollar, by an infamous system of taxa
tion imposed by negroes, who have no more
property than intelligence.
And what has been the result? The
South is unable to develope her resources
or isorcase her commerce. The colored
people, excited by politics and the harangues
of incendiary speakers, refuse to work
steadily or for a reasonable price. The
merchant and storekeeper find that their
stocks of goods lie idle on their hands.
Want of confidence in the future of State
in which pace of ignorant white rogues
hold the reins Of power, prevents tho in
coming of that capital without which the
South cannot flourish. The fear CT what
tomorrow may bring forth, causes every
man to hoard up 8 dollars so that there
may be something sure in the midst of inse-
curity. Without means, without credit,
without reliable laboring class, without
political representation, the South is now
in worse condition than on the day when
her soldiers laid down their useless arms.
Four years more of Radical supremacy
will destroy the energies which now are
only paralyzed; another lease of power un-
DER GRANT and CoLF.x will ruin the South
ern white man and starvc the Southern
negro. Without the white man and the
trade which grows up under his direction,
the South will become second Africa, and
in an Africanized country the white man
cannot live. In fine, the election of the
Radicalc ldidates for President and Vice
President would cause such o depression
Of the Southns would make 1t impossible
for the colored man to find employment here.
The negloes take their political food from the
Radicals, aud their bread and meat from
the Southern white man. A Radical vic
tory will deprive the South of the power to
hire laborers and pay mechanics; for in a
land made subject TO an inferior rae, there
ia no commerce and no commercial activity.
Next November will decide whether the
honest man or the political thief shall con-
trs, the South; and it will also determine
whether the colorcd people shall have the
means Of becoming industrious and intelli-
gent, or whether they shall be forced back
into their natural misery, squa!or and vice.

.sThe Lost Cause Regaincd."


NJ. PoLLARD's book will be in demand.
It resutn ss the history Of the "Lost Cause"
exhibiting the manner in which Congress
hasadeaii.. with it 1p to the present time, and
+ the effect which the great
struggle may be expected to have upon the
history of the Republic. The sketch is
prefaced by q brief but interesting and sug-
gestiye account of the war, and the diplo-
macy of the rival Cabinets by which it
was conducted. The negro question is also
briefly discussed. The writer concludes
with an elaborate argumentto show that the
hope Of the South is the Democratic party,
and that, in union with that party, We may
expect TO. secure the ends for which our
people sought the field.
AS to the execution of the design, all
these subjects, in themselves interesting,
are handled in Mr.. PoLLARD's sprightly and
dexterous way. The arrangement Of his
items, drawn from SO many quarters, is
mastery. His style has the vigor Of the
old Examiner; yet while it suggests, never
attaius the passion or finish of Mr.. DANIEL.
Here. as there of OLD, the reader is annoyed
by the reproduction of obsolete corruptions
of Latin words. In his eagerness to repro
duce the Norman French vulgarisms Of
Queen ASNE's day, Mr.. PoLLARSquite stul-
t;srs himself "Inferiour" and ''superiour"
are hard enough to digest; but "inferiOur-
'ity" and 'superiourity" are pine knots for
the stomach Of an alligator. The rage for
novelty also produces strange combinations,
which respectable English repudiates, as
il such sentence as this: 1.-The past rebels
siare to be proclaimed the true patriots" or
this: sThe South is daily crucifed upon the
.squestion of negro reconstruction" There
is, besides, an sffectation of originality in
the assertion Of various commonplaces,
which pruvokes smile.
One expects great deal from Mr.. Pol
LARD when he proclaims the SUI er6ciality
of Southern craftsmanship, as one of the
leading causes of the failure Of the war;
when he asserts that our leaders had no
clear ideas in regard to the defence of
-aegro slavery, and we're incapable of con-
vcying distinct inspirations TO the people;
and when he ventures to inculcate Ga novel
sand even sublime philosophy on the po!it-
"ical questions of the day" Gat the au.
thcr's explanation of this grandiloquent
boast imprcsses the reader with the sense
of the burlcsque. Mr.. POLLARD merely
claims that the supremacy OF the white race
and the preservation of constitutional right
were the fundamental and vital issues Of the
war: and that he, Of all Southern states
ZEN, is entitled to the honor Of the discov-
cry In other words, the States seeded,
they knew not why; blind frenzy sum-
moned their soldiers by hundreds Of thou
