Carl Schurz and Senator Trumbull
in Noxp VorE

The Senators from Missouri and Illi-
nois, the distinguished leaders of the
anti-Grant movement, are in New York
city for the purpose of organizing the
masses. especially the Germans, in favor
Of the Cincinnati Convention and its OBJ
jects. They held a meeting in Cooper
Institute on Friday night last. at. which
was fired The first great gun of the com
ing Presidential campaign. This meet
ing was held under very imposing cir
cumstances, and never since Cooper In
stitute was built, has such tremendous
audience filled the large hall OF that
building: 1t was an audience compri-
sing the wealth, respectability and intel
igence cf the city OF Now York, and is
said to have been truly representative IN
character. Never was there SO large o,
50 enthusiastic political gathering in
New York before Us this OF the Liberal
republicans, conducted by Schurz, Trum
bull and Greely. The two speakers o.
the occasion were Trumbull. Schurz.
The kilograms speak thus of their recep-
ton a,J great efforts:
Trumbull spoke with great energy and
fire, and not only electrified, but also i'll
tcrestcd his audience by his eloquence.
HIS assaults on the centraliZing tenden
cies OF the present Administration were
hailed with indignant cheers, and he as
toniSh:d his hearers by showing them
the despotiSm which threatened the safe
ty Of the Republic. He upheld, in un
qualified language, the true. Democratic
doctrine of state Rights, and while de.
nouncing rebels as traitors, he yet said
they we're never thieves. He warned
his All ience against tue dangers of
centralized authority, which las already
established, in different States Of the
Union, tribunals for tho adjudication OF
(. the property and lives Of the people. sub
iect to its own.control, and said this power
was in great danger of abuse.
'iSenator SchIrz next took the stand.
and wls received with similar over
whelming ovation to that of Trumbull.
as the lion of the occasion and the lead
ing light of the Reform movement. His
speech was eagerly anticipated and ct
tracted many persons, expressly to1hear
it. He spoke calmly and yet earnestly,
using very full notes. His manner was
not full of fire and fury-signifying moth
ing-tut clear, logical and convincing.
His dispassionate arguments did not car
nv away the feelings of his audience, but
they appealed to their reason and held
their attention closely. His voice rang
loud and clear through the vaulted hall
and throughout the packed, yet sileni
throna, like the notes of clarion. The
'audicarc seemed spellbound, and only
at intervals recovered themselves sutli-
did I repeatedly al ed and with vigor, showing
the eloquence of the orator was fully al!-

attention, and every strong point made
against the Administration was fully ap-

only refer to the full report annexed,
which alone can do Justice to its acumen.

DO You KNOW ;, BETTER MAN.

There are few gentlemen or merchants
better known to the people Of Edgeiield
than Mr.. w. A. Ramsey, the old and re
liable Clothing Merchant of Augusta.
And certainly they know no better man
or more efficient merchant. Mr.. Ramsey
sends us new advertisement this week,
and we herewith beg fol it particular
consideration. Perhaps the largest, hand
soonest. best-selected and cheapest stock
of Ready-Made Clothing in the South is
now to be found at Ramsey's in Augusta
Mr.. Ramsey's tailoring department is
also on a very complete scale. Mr.. John
Lyon, popular citizen and famous mer-
chant tailor of Edgefield in former days,
is to be found at Ramseys, where ho will
always make Edgefield people feei par
ticularly at home.
