JACKSON, August I'm the Radical
District to-day, as yesterday, no organi-

MOL is worse, if possible. The news
from North Carolina has greatly
DENrORALIZED
their leaders. Judge Hancock, Chair
man of the District Executive Commit
tee, and also a delegate, has withdrawn
from the convention in utter disgust. a
number of prominent Republicans were
called upon during the day to address
the body, and try and bring
ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
All responded without effect. Colonel
A. T. Morgan, of YazOo, notorious for
having married the negro woman High
gate, was called upon, but before he had
proceeded far, was called upon to desist,
but he stuck it out, and denounced, in
violent terms, the candidates who were
USING MONEY
to secure a nomination before this con-
vention, and said that if such infamy
and corruption continued, honest Re
publicans would have to seek another
party. He was hissed and applauded
by turns. Several negroes who spoke

FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGroS, August ,.
The PatriOfs specials, received last
night from Greensboro, North Carolina,
say that business was wholly suspended.
There was no disturbance; the balloting
progressed quietly. a number of ne
groes of Greensboro We're detected and
stopped in fraudulent voting. A full
voteiwas polled.
The dispatches received by several
private parties here from North Caro-
lima, contain little definite information,
though generally indicative of Demo-
cratic success as a consequence there
has been considerable rejoicing in Con-
servative and Democratic circles. The
Republicans are not inclined to admit
that it can be known this early of the
result in the State.
Columbus Delano received a dispatch
from Perry, Supervisor Internal Reve-
nue., dated at Raleigh last night, saying
that the Democrats figure up large
mythical gains in the East, but admit
losses in the West. The figures indi-
cate that the Republicans have carried
the State by at least ten thousand ma
jority. The Republicans have elected
Messrs. Cobb, Thomas, Mckay, Smith
and Settle to Congress. The following
was received to-day: II have not
changed my opinion since telegraphed
your father last night all is well. (Signed)
Perry Returns come in slowly, though
tits scOnceded that Merriman, Democrat,
is elected Governor by about eight thou
sand majority. The contest in the
eighth district is very close. The
chances are equal for both Smith, Re-
publican, and Rogers, Democrat. Leach,
Ashe, Vance, Waddell, and Robbins,
Democratic, are elected to Congress.

The London Examiner has discovered
that in sixty-six municipal elections in
England out of every one thousand wo-
men who here enjoy equal rights with
men on the register five hundred and
sixteen went to the poll, which is but
forty-eight less the prOpOrtiOnate num-
Der of men. And out of twenty-seven
thousand nine hundred and forty-six
women registered where a contest Oc-
Cured fourteen thousand four hundred
and sixteen voted. OF men there were
one hundred and sixty-six thousand
seven hundred and eighty-one ON the
register, and ninety-four thousand and
eighty at the poll. The Examiner draws
this conclusion: making allowance for
the reluctance of old spinsters to change
their habits, and the more frequent i'll
ness of 4he sex, it is manifest that WO-
men, if they had opportunity, would ex-
ercise the franchise as freely as men.
There is an end, therefore, of the argu-
ment that women would not vote if they

be enforced by Congressional legislation,
the amendments are but sounding brass
tinkling eynbals to the colored man.
Unless Congress makes them effective
and praetical-nay, more, if the rights
of the colored man are to be left to the
legislation of the Southern States with
out Congressional Intervention, he
would. under Democratic administra-
ton, be deprived of the right of suffrage
in less than two years, and he would be
very lucky if he escaped some form of
chattel, slavery or peOnage; and in proof
of this danger, might quote volumes
of wisdom and warning from the speech
IS of Charles Sumner. When, there
fore, YOU point out to cOlOred men that
their rights will be safe in the hands of
the Democratic party, you delude and
mislead them. / do not say wilfuily,
but none the less really. A small
HANDFUL OF REPUBLICANS
with the whole mass who
unite with yourself and Mr.. Greeley in
going overto the Democratic party, can
not leaven that lump of political Un-
sOundness, even if you presume your
own original principles in contact.
The administration of Mr.. Greeley,
therefore, should he be elected, would
be, in whole and in detail, Democratic
and you would be COM
PEELED to 20 with the current or depart
and turn back when too late to mend
the evil. YOU had done. Your argument
that Horace Greeley does not become
n Democrat by receiving Democratic
votes, illustrating it by the analogy of
YOUR OWN ELECTION
to the Senate is hardly pertinent point.
1t is not what Mr.. Greeley will become
personally, but what will be the com
plexion Of the great legislative branch
Of the government, with all its vast and
power? You know very well,
Mr.. Sumner, that if Mr.. Greeley is
elected President, Congress i handed
over to the control of the party who
have persistently denied the rights of
the black man. What course you will
pursue toward the cOlOred man is of very
small consequence after you have trans
ferred the power of the government TO
his enemy. The colored men of this
country are not, a. class, enlightened,
but thev have wonderful instincts. and
when they read your letter they viii
know that in a great crisis in their fate
you deserted them. Charles Sumner
with jefferson Davis il not
the Charles Summer they have hitherto
idolized any more than Horace Greeley
cheered to the echo in Tammany Hall
Is the same Horace Greeley whom Re
publicans have hitherto trusted.
