RADICAL Work IN MADISON, Fla
Tho Monticello AdccHiecr, of q late
date, says:
a negro i'll Madison County, who was
perhaps more fool than knnve, and was
undoubtedly urged on l,y the carpet
bnggers, undertook to raise row be-
tween the whito and black citizens. He
was Captain, recently appointed by
Iced. and he ordered out his company
and told them the ball had opened. He
soon raised IN immense crowd of ne
groes, and forming his company at a
church called Bethlehem, commenced
rapidly gathering arms, and swore to
wipe out every man in Madison County;
but before the evening closed white men
came pouring in from South, East and
West. and if it had not been for some
citizens who interceded for them, there
would have been one camp less on earth.
The camp was, however, broken up, the
ring-leaders arrested and put in Jail,
and the "white trash" as silently disap-
peared as they had come.

more directly to the popular sense OF
justice. BY the tyranny Of majorities,
Iminorities are; in effect disSranchised.
There may be an insignificant difference
between the two aggregates at ian cleo
tion, but that difference suffices to render
the minority non-existent for She pur-
poses of legislative action. BY securing
to every voter his proportionate share Of
influence in an election, free vote would
be secured. There would be on eauita-
BILE adjustment of electoral power if
every vote were in some manner repre-
sented in the result. The "free-vote'
movement aims at this and nothing
more.
The subject commends itself most
readily to thinkers, and, unfortunately,
thinkers are not as potent as they ought
to be in political management. mi
nority representation" has, therefore,
gained ground slowly; the "free-vote'
idea cannot be expected to move much
faster. Its introduction must be gradual
we sec something of it here and there in
minor local matters-in boards of cleo
tlon officers, and other things; and an
extension of it in the,o directions is, per-
haps, tho most feasible mode of accus
tomlng the people to the working of the
party opposition than if an attem pt were
mndc to inauguratc general revolution
in the political system; ard success on n
small scale will furnish reasons for moro
extensive change.
The Convention which met at Read
ing, on Wednesday,, did not commit it
self to any special scheme. 1t affirmed
tho general principle, and left it to the
fostering care Of n committee, under nus
pices which diyest it of all party bias.
The sphere in which the committee may,
in the first instance, work most usefully
Is local. The Legislature may we'll be
asked to remove the present anomaly SO
tar ia as 1t affects municipal affairs; and,
that accomplished, the influence of the
whole electoral body may next be appa-
rent in State concerns. Forthe present,
ut least, the plan is tentative. Let us
see how it works before attempting to
apply it on u large scale.

SATANIC PRoGREss. While the mind
shrinlls from the bloody record of tho
battles now making shambles of
France. it is impossible to refrain from
painful admiration of the heroism of the
combntants on either side. 1t can no
longer be said that in courage the mon
of modern times are degenerate. His
tory can tell of no fiercer fighting than
that which now from day to day is hurl-
ing thousands of Christian and civilized
beings into eternity. But unfortunately
enlightenment, though applauded by
the spectacle. will accept no wholesome
profit from the terrible lesson. Though
tho blood of 1000 victims should rise
to rebuke and deprecate the principal of
warfare, still will the nations make war
study, and still will the ingenuity Of
man be devoted to the development of
the means of destruction. The spirit of
progress in that respect is very fiend;
its ambition is to multiply and perfect
tho engines of death and desolation.

It is painful to read the suggestions of
some OF the journals of Paris. Chagrin
at the defeat Of the Imperial armies has
aroused some of the journalists of France
to pitch of virulent malignity and MA
licious rngc entirely incompatible with
the press of the boosted centre of Euro
pean civilization. Figaro shricks "pro-
vide the Prussians with poisoned pro-
visions;" the G0ulois advises its readers
to insult all women who do not wear
mourning. These are not the suggcs-
tions Of men who dare to do aud die,
but the devices of faint-hearted cravens,
who will beat n hasty, albeit shameful,
retreat on the the first appearance of an
armed enemy.

GOVERNOR SCOTT AND GENERAL WADE
HAMPTON. Our readers are familiar with
the fact that General Butler, in exposing
the political hypocrisy Of the leaders OF
tue Ring, made the distinct charge that
Governor Scott, shortly before the late
PRESIDENTIAL election, suid to General
Wade Hampton and two other gentle
men, thai she not only wished the State
to go Democratic, but wanted to uso his
influence to that end, as he was tired
OF the negroes, and would make enough
OF them resign their seats in the Legisla-
ture, SO AS to give the white men n ma
Jority in that body"
We called upon Governor Scott for n
denial of this damming charge, which
denial ho has never made. It is now
stated, however, in the Ring Organ, con
the authority of Governor Scott him
self, " that Governor Scott did not say
that she was tired of the negroes" and
that he never did declare that ''he wished
the State to go Democratic. All such
statements care pronounced by Governor
Scott absolutely false" is also denied
that Governor Scott promised to make
enough of the negro members resign
their seats i'll the Legislature to give the
white men the majority. These state
ments, although not made by Governor
Scott in person, are categorical denial.
by authority, of the truth of the charges
made by General Butler That gentle.
man received from General Hampton the
information upon which the charges
were used, and we are confident that
General Hampton, who is now in the
North, will upon his return to the South
state distinctly whether Governor Scott
did, or did not. make the promises whose
uttcranco it is now attempted to deny.
What the character of General Hnnlp-
tons statement will be is shown in an ex-
tract from private letter, which, under
the circumstances, wa feel authorized to
publish. a friend with whom we had
been IN communication upon the subject
of the Scott convention, wrote rs follows,
on August 18th:
General W. Hampton, under date of
10th August, writes to me: L have en-
closed n letter in reference to Scott's
pledges to us to-Scott will scarcely
dare deny the charges; but if he does,
they can be proved
Governor Scott has dared, in the alb
senoe Of General Hampton, to deny the
charges, and rs soon ns General Hamp-
ton returns the charges will be proved.

Of the white people of this State is iden-

particular circumstances of its develop

rupt government, and Georgia, and
North Carolina, and Alabama, it is our
triumph, and we have good reason to

Not only does rosy sunset presage fair

are other tints which speak with equal

BETRAYED.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

The sun sank into the Western skies,
Slowly slowly
The stars came out, and the moons round head
Swung into the skies above;
Inc river hurried along to the sea,
Inc nlght-bird sang in the maple tree
A ripping song of love.
A maiden stole from the ivied cot,
Softly softly
Then paused, in sudden train of thought,
And gazed on her childhood's home;
But restless oar, in the waters stirred,
And down by the river the maiden heard,
A low voice whisper "Come.'
Then On she sped, where the light boat lay.
Rocking! Rocking
And two ia the moonlight rowed away,
5v5 Away from the peaceful glade;
And the falsevoice whispered low, my ewn''
And the dripping oar, in monotone,
Seemed moaning betrayed betrayed"
The sun slips into the western skies,
Ever Everl
The stars came out, and the night-bird cries,
And sings in the maple tree;
But never, Oh never again, will the maid,
Come back to her peaceful home in the glade,
And the river runs to the sea.

DEsECRATIoN.-The Richards hill

DESECRA The Richards hill
cemetery, the primitive and, we believe, the
Oldest burial place in the city, where lie the
remains OF many of our first settlers, is in these
days of short pasturage overrun with nume-
rous COWS which are grazing on the
graves with perfect impunity, breaking
down and destroying everything in the
shape of 5hrubbery which kind hands have
planted. Could the milk obtained under
such unfeeling circumstances towards the
memory OF the dead, and so harassing to the
feelings OF some who are living, be in
any manner considered the milk of human
kindness? Is there no remedy for this
matter ?
