first mortaged his property for SIS, 500,
and then put second mortage on
top OF that as security for debt OF

to Geo. w. Perry, John Speigleberg,

Ferdinand Mueller, all persons in
humble circumstances. Schurz war
ranted Perry's lot "free and clear

yet nine months after Perry had to
buy a release of the incumbrance
from Schurz' creditor, at a cost OF
$3.50. Hildeman in like manner
bought lot, supposing he had got a
clear title, but had to buy, by Perry's
aid, his release from the mortgage.
+. Mueller bought $3.50 lot, and
had to abandon it after putting a

it was clear of incumbrance, would

necessary amount. A man by the
name of Theileman, bought eight
lots, paying therefore $1,000, lost
his property by the same foreclosure.
But the worst case in bad list was
that of Spiegelberg. Spiegelterg
was an ignorant German with the
largest faith in Schurz, because be-

gentleman farmer. On the $3.50 lot,
he bought of Schurz he built a $3.50

GROIN.

In our early days we were fed upon
Abolition pap to our full capaci-
ty, and as we grew older we espous-
ed the cause because we thought it
right. Two facts were then indeli-
bly, stamped upon our mind /; first,
Horace Greeley's Tribune was for
hidden circulation in the South-was
regarded AZ the worst kind Of incen-
diary documents second, that
Charles Sumner was brutally assault
ed in the very Halls of Congress
because he was champion of aboli-
ton and equal rights. To-day we
see Horace Greeley the candidate,
and his Tribune the tool of this very
South, and in high favor with the
very men who cursed them both,
and would have gloried in taking
the life of Horace, even more than
they did in suppressing his paper and
Charles Sumner, man heretofore
respected for his consistent course,
is the candidate of the "Bludgeon
party" for Governor OF Massachu'
sets. Aud if elected will aid in the
fulfillment of the prophecy made by
the fiery Southron who swore that
he would yet call the roll of his
slaves from Bunker Hill monument.
How are the mighty fallen. These
things show that the people OF Ameri'
ca are not men worshippers, but fol-
lowers of principles. Charles Sum
ner, while firm to the principles he
advocated for more than quarter
of a century, was a power of strength
and could command the votes Of
hundreds of thousands, but to-day
he has fallen so low that there arc
none to do him reverence, and be
cannot command a score of his old
followers.

The Moulton Independent says :
On last Monday Ex-Governor M.
M. Walden spoke to large audience
in Irwin Hall upon the political issues
OF the day. The speech was such
as we wish to hear more often, from
speakers of all parties, being calm
yet earnest appeal to the reason OF
his hearers rather than an effort to
arouse the prejudices of the people
politically. The speech OF the Gov
ernor was well received and is cal
culated to do much good.

THE OLD NORTH STATE.

The late election in North Carolina was
The means of infusing new hopes to our
adversaries and yet we find 2 leading
ga vacillating aid uncerfain population"
Where the writer of such sentiment OBJ
tanned his premises we are at a lossto ex-.
plain, for surely no State in the Federal
Union has a clearer escutcheon.
Her people were the first to appreciate
the responsibilities of the days of '7G, and
they did not shrink when time and again
they were called to meet the exacting de-
mands of the recent conflict in arms. Her
sons in our midst and throughout the land
are recognized as true types of manhood.
We cannot, therefore, be silent when North
Carolina is maligned by our political foes
because it suits their purposes to prepare
the popular mind for defeat of the Admin
istration in the coming election.
The people are, as a class, agricultural.
In some portions of the State political ex-
element is comparatively unknown. And
yet their fealty to all that is right m ust be
acknowledged by the careful and honest
observer. The State debt has been in
creased by political adventures to an almost
fabulous sum, and succession of bad
seasons for staple products has, in late
years, added much to the burthens to be
borne.
But the people Of North Carolina ara
not ''vacillating.'' The home Of CASTOR
Macon and a host of illustri0us others
however bereft by urfavorable fortunes
still presents its historic landmarks and
still cEerishes its time-honored traditions.

The October Elections.

The smoke of the battle has cleared
away, and after surveying the field we
are obliged to admit that We have not been
victorious. Mere regrets are unavailing,
and we shall not indulge in them; nor do
we propose this morning to assign the
causes of our defeat
We confess to feeling of disappoint-
ment at the result; especially is this the case
in regard to Pennsylvania. The contest in
that State was so plainly narrowed down
to one between honesty on the one side
and corruption on the other, in the admin
istration of the State government, that III
spite of the evidences of fraud, that accu-
mulated so rapidly as the day of election
drew near, we felt quite sure of the success
of Mr.. BuckaleW.
But as we have said, we are not pre-
pared Just now to assign the causes OF our
defeat. Further light must be thrown up
on the case before we can say whether the
apathy of our friends, or the interruptions
ness Of our enemies, or their superior
strength has brought about the present I'M
fortunate result. If it shall be found to be
due to the last mentioned cause, then in
deed is grave question presentedto ourpec-
pie. But we sincerely trust that it will not
appear that our defeat is due to an uncon-
querable hate in the hearts Of the masses
Of the Northern people towards us of the
| South. We sincerely trust that the people
Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Ne
| braska have not voted for the Administra-
ton candidates, because they al unwill-
ing to clasp hands across the bloody chasm
that has so long separated us. We trust il
! Heaven tilat this is not the case.
But however this may be, 10 man cal
deny that we have friends az the North, espe
cially HORACE GREELEY and the New \ OH
tribune, who have stood their ground nc
bly,, and that the South owes to them {
deep debt of gratitude. Nor can we den.
that we have already reaped substantial
benefits from the Greeley movement. Blu
for that movement President Grant woulC
to-day be clothed with the power to sus
pend the writ of Hd6cdS COrpuS!
Let us, then, not be hasty either in actor
or speech as to the unfortunate position il
which we find ourselves placed. All is no
vet lost. o SouthrOns are not accustomed
to surrender at the first reverse, nor is j
their habit TO desert their friends. W.
have fought against greater odds than now
confront u.s.

A Subteranean Mystery-DiscOvcry Of
Mysterious CRtRcOmbss In COlu mb bin

Several days since, the temporary com
mander Of the garrison in this city, during
the absence of Colonel Black, commanding
officer of the post, concluded to change his
quarters from the residence SO long occrl-
pied by him, known as tho Sloan House,
situated III the rear of the South Carolina
College, to house formerly occupied by
the Rollins girls. Yesterday he was
naturally busy putting things to rights, and
looking about his new quarters from cell
lar to garnet. The garrett did not surprise
him any, but, when he came to explore
the cellar, Belzoni coIld have had no
greater surprise III tie midst of the cata
combs Of Egypt than our worthy friend
when he commenced to pursue the wind
ings of the walled cellar and arches This
subterranean vault is calculated to excite
the curiosity Of any man. Yet unex-
plOred to their full extent, enough has been
seen to excite much calculation as to what
it may have been designed for.
There are many rumors already. Ira
ditiOns are uncertain and. varied. One is,
that this residence was once occupied by
gentleman heavily interested in blockade
running. Another suspicion is that the
subter1anean passages were made for the
purpose of lodging Ku-Klux. Whatever
may have been the design, the place Is
deep, winding and dreary, more fitting oc-
cupants below than above this mundane
sphere. After further explorations we
shall give an account in full, and back 1t
up with statements equally as entitled to
credit as are our friend, Mr.. Stanley's, OF
the Herald, whose word we do not doubt.

RatferfnG the Dents.

The Washington Capital is still after
the Dents with sharp stick, and there IS
certainly more work ahead for the Dent
club. In a recent number of the Capital 1t
pays it's compliments to Grants brother-ii-
law as follows
Louis Dent, the victorious, as 1t Is
well known in this city, was knocked down
aud beaten in one of the entries of the
Capital by a man 10 whom he had sold an
office, and afterward failed to comply with
his agreement or to return the considera-
ton. A respectable citizen of Cayuga
county, New York, addresses us in respect
to the Whitney and Farrand affair. Mr..
Whitney makes no secret OF the fact OF MS
connection with the matter, and relates
that he has six letters from Louis Dent,
written while the negotiations were pend
ing, concerning his appointment to Peru !
also that he Has been offered $1,000 for tie
letters for the purpose of having them de-
stroyed, but had concluded to. holden tel he
documents. MIR. Whitney also discloses
that lie has sixty letters from Farrand re-
lating to the same business, and also con-
corning the sale Of gwO monitors to Secor
for $750,O0O, which Secor, as he under
stands, at once sold to Peru for S2,OOO,-
