Gen. Frank Blair on the Southern
Situation.

Senator BLAIR has returned to st.
Louis, and on the Goth inst, a reporter
Of the Republican interviewed him in
regard to his observations as MEM
Der Of the Sub.Ku-Klux Committee
which has just closed its investigations
in Alabama and Mississippi. The fol-
lowing are the main points Of Mr..
BLAIR's statements:
The testimony Of some two hundred
witnesses was taken-Radical witness
ses, chiefly negroes. While there Mr..
BLAIR met gentlemen of education
and prominence in society. The evil
dence at Huntsville, showed that there
existed system of wholesale plumber
ing carried on throug Oh the State gov
ernments and individual acts OF ne
groes, in consequence Of which the
people in many Instances were driven
| to take the law into their own hands
and protect their property by inflict-
ing summary punishments upon the
negroes. 1t was not shown in any In
stance that these acts had anything to
do with politics. There are many in
stances of arson forplunder orrevenge,
and a great many instances Of rape,
which are instantly and violently
punished. Apart from these things,
there is no more violence in the
South than any other part ofthe coun.
try.
The Imprisonment of negroes does
not repress plundering by them. They
don't regard it as punishment. On
the contrary, prison is more comior-
table than their cabins, and it is no
disgrace to be incarcerated.
In Sumner, Green and Hale coun-
ties many negroes voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, and these counties have
Democratic majorities. The carpet
bsggers had left this region, and an
attempt was made to prove that this
was The result of violence and intimi-
dation, but the effort entirely failed.
Much the same condition of things
existed in various sections Of MISSISSIPPI
pi, brought about by the plundering
of negroes, the policy of the State gov
eminent under Gov. Alcorn, and the
vindictive prosecution Of whites under
the Ku-klux law. Some 300 indict-
ments had been found in United States
Courts against whites on very finn
sy pretexts in the great majority Of
cases. The enforcement act is regard
ed as arbitrary and illegal, involving
great loss and expense.
In regard TO the proclamation Of
martial law, Mr.. BLAIR, said the pep.
pie are spprehensive that if it becomes
necessary to carry the elections, mar
tial law viii be declared by the Presi-
dent. They feel the whole thing is a
mere trick of a party to retain power.
They are all convinced that the only
way to stop these things and restore
peace and harmony in :he South is TO
accept the Missouri policy proclaim
ed by the st. Louis Republican news
p.per aud vote for some liberal
Republican to defeat GRANT, have
general amnesty and repeal Of all
Ku.Klux laws. This is the only thing
that gives the Southern people any
hope for the future. He believes that
if GRANT is reelected it will come
near depopulating the Southern States
Of white people, as they cannot remain
there safely under the present condi-
ton ofthings.

THE Warren House and new Cum
berlsnd Presbyterian Church OF

The hotel will be the finest of any in
terror town in the South; and the

imbued with the spirit of progress and
Improvement, and is going forward
rapidly, increasing in business, popu-
lation and commercial Importance.

A Contrast,


THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati commercial (Radical)
presents the following contrast:
candy JOHNSON during his entire
Official lie, from Alderman to Presi-
dent, never accepted present
amounting in value to $50. GRANT,
during period of less than six years,
has accepted presents amounting in
cash value, presents that money
bought, to scores of thousands OF dol
lars. The only one he was ever
known to refuse, was the bitch pup
from Cleveland, Ohio, on which there
were express charges amounting l
Dellevd, to $40. He has accepted
houses and lots, horses and carriages,
libraries and works of art, live stock,
furniture, wines, cigars, and, indeed,
everything that was offered. Those
VINO contributed the most literally
were appointed to the best offices,
ana cite A. T. STEWART Of New
York, HoAR of Massachusetts,, FISH
OF Now York, BoRIE of Pennsylva-
mia, and MURPHY Of New Yerk, a.
specimen bricks. Although ANDY
JOHNSON, when he came to the Presi-
dental chair, was worth less money
than GRANT was when he left the Of
fice OF General, yet he refused even
the compliment of a number of rich
gentlemen of New York who were
above office-holding, when they of
fered to present him with pair Of
horses and family carriage. JOHNSON
was too poor 20 drive handsome
horses, and his stables were scanty
enough. In the White House stables,
in JoHNsoN's time, there were five
horses; there are now eighteen, in

FRED DOUGLASS was the Radical
candidate for the Legislature in Nun
roe county at the late State elections
in New York. Six hundred RAIDS

FRED was defeated. They are "mon-

when he is Uoter, but when he asks
to he voted for, it very materially
changes the complexion of the case.

DANA OF the New York San, who was
Assistant Secretary of War under I'm
coins administration. says that 10 1853,
when GRANT was at Vicksburg. he saved
him from being sent back TO sell sole
leather at Galena on a salary of $500
year. The Providence Herald says:
DANA has much to answer for, If this is
true but Galena can afford to raise
monument TO him She was spared a
great affection

An Important Railway Measure.

THE Legislature has Just passed a
most excellent bill authorizing the
consolidation ofsuch Railroads in the
State a. may hereafter desire such
an arrangement. The effect of the
bin while it can in no wise impair the
interest the state may have in It's
railroads. gives additional security to
that interest and renders it better for
the state IS IL may be for the roads.
Under its provisions the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, one Of the
best-manged and most solvent roads
in the South, will consolidate with
the Alabama and Tennessee road
from Fayetteville 10 Dccherd, and
the McMinnvillc and Manchester
road, completing without unneces-
sary delay the former to a point near
Huntsville, and the latter to Sparta
where important connections will
soon be formed with Louisville and
Cincinnati and the Tennessee and
Pacific, which viii be continued to
Bristol, making important Eastern
connections. This arrangement of
the Memphis and Charleston road
viii give new impetus to railway
enterprise in this State and open up
aud develOpe an immense section of
our lands, rich in ineXhaustable mine
raj wealth and unlimited agricultu-
raj resources. 1t is one of the moss
important railway movements that

many years and viii insure the com

Otherwise could not possibly have

country is chiefly indebted to The

the able President Of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad.

siding, and the public mind is evidently
settling down to the conclusion that it is
useless to CRY out before the body politio
is hurt. This sensible feeling will be
encouraged by the official reports, which
show the slow progtass of the fever: It
now appears that mp to Saturday last, the
26th nltifno. there were nine deaths
from yellow fever. Three OF the nine
took place between Augaat aud August
I 19, and the remaining elk in the follow
ing week. For the current week the
mortality will be greater; but it is
officially stated that there were on'y
thirty-three new cases of fever inc:the
week ending on Wednesday night last.
This is q very cheering exhibit, as the
proportion Of deaths to the entire mum
her Of patients is steadily decreasing.
On yesterday, the busy tongue of rumor
could conjure up only two new cases. and
only two deaths occurred, to our know
ledge, during the day.
