Horace Greeley at Alexandria.

/ ALEXANDRIA, August 2.-Hon. Horace
Greeley. who was here on visit, delivered
an address at the Methodist Episcopal
church this afternoon. The notice being
short, The audience. though not large, was
highly Intelligent, and was composed prin-
cipally of southern men.
!: MIR. Greeley said be thought it desirable
to have respite Of politics this year, in an
ticipaton Of the grave, issues that would
have to be met next year. Reconstruction
had been thought slow, but iJ had been
fast enough. Had all been agreed to years
ago under military rule it would have been
better, because of the imposition of light
faxes. There would have been no parties,
no fury, and no creation OF debt. South
ern men were not prepared to 60 into the
Union at once. From the war the South
had rccuperated faster than any other
country did before; faster than did this
country after the revolution. Prescription
should be set aside. If the men who
seeded were represented, they wanted
their first, and not their fifth, choice. Eff
forts to dlsfranchise negroes ought not to
be made. -...4....
He warmly favored the "new depar-
ture," saying, IF foreigners could not be
DISTINGUISHED 20 years ago, how could four
millions of blacks be now disfranchised ~
The. Democracy ought to accept the 10th
amendment, and the Republicans would
doubtless advocate the removal of disabili-
ties. When these questions had passed
away finance would then claim attention.
He argued strongly ID favor of paying the
national debt as fast as possible. 1t was
the only way to keep up the public credit.
Virginians thought too much OF politics.
They should devote their attention to the
development Of their natural resources.
They had. ail the resources OF Pennsylya-
mia, and could be equal to that State. They
wanted wise and active men, They should
have faith In their State. Every man ought
to look for mine, a,water-power, &c., in
order to utility. .I~s3
i He closed with a eulogy on Henry Clay
and the policy Of: that deceased statesman
He was warmly applauded, and most of
tboso presant were intro fllIced IN him

Municipal Election-Tricks OF
the Radicals Citizens Awake r n i ca Is
Embarrasscd-A Storm Brewing.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 81, i

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 81, 1871.
The people Of Charleston are all agog in
antjcipation of the municipal election,
which occurs on Wednesday next.
Nearly three years ago the Radicals sue
cecded By illegal and unfair means In elect
ing their candidates. Misrule, oppression.
and pcculation have been the "order OF
the day" since that time. The men VINO
have been faring so sumptuously az the
public. crib determined 10 pepetuate their
official relations to the dear people," II
possible. SO some months ago they order
ed that the time Of election should be
changed from November to Augusta
month during which many of the citizens
who oppose Radical rule are usually absent
from the city. Next they ordered new re-
gistration of voters. and have endeavored so
to conduct thisr registration that many who
vented from doing so, while those who
smypathize with them and are yet not en-:
titled to vote in the city shall he allowed
this privilege. They are bringing in ne.
2roes from the country and from the sur.
rounding islands to swell their numbers,
while they are striving to secure the vote
of the inmates Of the prisons and aims
houses. e."
But the citizens are wide awake. Some
who intended to leave the city for the sum
mer have postponed doing so until the
! election is over, and others who had gone
off to cooler cline have returned to helI
| their city out Of distress. The registration
officers are closely watched, and no doubt
tut character is permitted 10 register unit
| he gives evidence that he is entitled to dc
SO. everything else is forgotten in the all
| absorbing topic Of the election. On the
"day of battle" it is probable that bust
ness will be suspended, and that the whole
city will turn its attention to the moment
Gus struggle. fthe Citizens Ticket prove
successful a brighter day will dawn upor
this noble and oppressed city. II the Rad
icalS carry the day, the best we can hope
for is that the state Of affairs will be no worse
than it now is. It is impossible to form any
reasonable conjecture rs to the result OF the
matter.
The citizcns have nominated men who
are identified with the interests of Charles
ton, of high responsibility and influence
and yet who are not prominent and eX
IRENE in southern politics. On the Other
hand, the Radicals first nominated ticke
SO black" that even the Republican pa
per of the city denounced and discarded it
Again they put forth another ticket, ii
| which the names of the Objectionable per
sons had been replaced by the names O
some Of the most Influential citizens. AL
these latter declined to run. And thus
| matters now stand.
The quiet that precedes the storm is now
broodlng over the city. May the storm
| when it does burst upon us, purify oul
political atmosphere and it is hard to KEEP
| from wishing that during the storm some
people might be struck By lightning or cash
ed clean deo0y. But we shall see. 4.

FoRTusArE.-A few years since gentle.
man engaged in the lumber, business I'D
Maine having an apprectative eye tor nne
diamond, and being convinced that O reai
nem would, if properly bought, be q safe
Investment, accordingly commissioned Mr..
Charles w. Kennard, the we'll known Jew
eller on fremont street, to purchase tor
him q stone about thousand dollars I'D
value, which was mounted as spiral
backed stud.
As months rolled on the owner was Of
fered by connoisseurs constant advances on
his purchase, which temptation only made
him value his gem the more, and ne said to
himself, eff it is worth that to them 1t is
to me, and / will keep it till forced by ne
cessity to SELL" ...-...
In april of last year, while working on
his boom of logs on one of the streams OF
the Kennebee, having on shirt, the stud-
snarkline brilliant fall from his bosoms
strike the log, and glide quietly into the
swift current below. ..,
Determination to regain it oyerpoWered
the regret OF bis mind. He kept his loss
where his stud should have benin MS
bosom. Sounding the depth of water, he
found it TO be about seven feet he then
decided to wait till the summer drought
should bring the stream to Its lowest cop,
and taking accurate measurement Oh Tue
place, by the bearings Of the rocks and
trees on shore. allowing eighteen inches for
the change of direction by the current, he
left his treasure to compete with the dace
and sinner in fascinating the river mer-
maid, and returned to his Massachusetts
home.
The September following, six months
after the loss, the river being then at Its
lowest point for the season, the undaunted
lumberman started for his diamond. The
river full of logs, covering the place, had
been sawed and shipped, and now only
few inches OF water trickled over the spot
where the stud fell. He took with him o
large tin colander, the holes Of which were
OF a size to hold the prize II found. BE had
determined to work fortnight before CIV
ing up The gem as lost, and to have all the
river bottom to 60 through his handy
kitchen stramer. He made bis first dip OF
gravel and water, us nearly as he could cal
culate, eighteen inches down the current
from where 1t struck the surface of the
stream, seven feet above. And lucky dip
it was for at the bottom OF the pan lay the
lost gem, bright and sparkling as when it
came from the jeweler. J. =,
The above incident is good illustration
of YANKEE patience and tact, as well as q
warning to those who wear diamond shrt-
studs. Boston Transcript.
