Daddy Cain in tho Up-Counary.
PENDLEToN, August 10, 1872.

Daddy Cain was here lust Thursday,
and made most excellent speech. He
began by telling his colored brethren
that he was going to vote for Grant; not
that Mr.. Greeley was not good, honest
man, for that he (Cain) considered him
one of the beet in the United States,
bat that Grant was man Of determine.
ton, while Mr.. Greeley was all theory.
After several questions from Captain S.. ,
and considerable dodging, he confessed
that Greeley had worked the longest for
the colored people, as four years to
forty. He forgot to tell them, though,
That it was MIR. Greeley's forty years
theory that caused Grants four years of
practice. Ho then waded into the nffec-
tions of Messrs. Scott, Parker and Cham
berlain-especialIy Parker-nnd i'm
pressed on his sable hearers, after seve-
raj attempts, that he considered the
aforesaid gentlemen either incompetent
or dishonest; he did not think them the
former. Therefore, his hearers could
make up their minds az to what he oiicI
consider them. After several repeti
tions, Sambo saw the joke, and was
tiokled exceedingly. He tonched up
the Blue Ridge I:uilroud swindle, de.

On the whole, his apeech was very

POLITICAL JoTTINas. Demo
cratic paper in Mississippi has now run
up the Greeley flag, the Columbus DEM
ocrat being the last to unfurl it.
In an able letter addressed to William
81. Welsh, Esq. editor of the Baltimore
Gazette, Judge Black reviews the situa-
ton. He concludes that, while Mr..
Greeley with all his reforms offers no i'm
mediate atonement for the wrongs of the
past and only partial remedy, yet Demo-
Gratis will support him with almost per-
feet unanimity, impelled by q profound
conviction that his election alone will
save the country from long period of
mis- government and, perhaps, the total
destruction of our institutions.
Gen. Dix says Greeley is "unstable as
water" If any man says that General
Dix has constitutional hatred for
water, shoot him on the spot.
Some enterprising little boys of In

A North Carolina man, who had heard
that Caldwell was elected, got mad at a

stuffing out of it,
It turns out that Caldwell's nominal
election as Governor of North Carolina,
was due to the grossest frauds. Not
content with supplying money al H6itusn
to its carpet-bag agents, the Adminstra-
tion colonized tens of thousands from
adjacent States to help along the Radi-
cal ticket. We do not wonder that Mer-
rimon's friends insist on his bringing
the matter before the Legislature for in
vestigation.
A letter to the Boston Post, speaking
of Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island,
says: "He will publish letter in few
days defining his position, and thus
throwing the weight Of his immense in
Auence in Rhode Islond for Greeley and
Brown, and, beyond doubt, securing
this State to the Liberals"

The ELECTION OF PoPE.-A question
of ofapparently immense future Importance
in European politics is looming up. This
is the question of the election of new
Pope. when the time shall come for the
selection of successor to the present
venerable Pontiff. A late Berlin letter
to the London Times says that France is
tue only power which has declined to
enter into arrangements with the Ger
man Government concerning the cleo
ton of the new Pope, and that it is we'll
known in Berlin that the French Co.
vernment has been for some time past
endeavoring to secure the Papal Crown
to French cardinal. Important as will
be the selection of the next Pope in re-
ligious matters, the political world would
no less be interested. A French Pope
exercising, as would be natural, an in
huence in favor of France, would become
q serious question for Germany and
other powers whose interest might be
jeoparded by the weight of such infu-
ence.

The one Southern man whose con-
versation should bring comfort to the
President is James L. Orr, of South Ca.
rolina, who says that she is surfeited
with office, and will never more submit
to the infiction of holding one." He
also declares that che has outlived am
bition;" and of course he has, for other
wise he would hardly be supporting Dr.
Grant. Even in the remote contingen.
cy of the Doctors reelection, the people
now in Office will expect, and properly
expect, to be kept in as the reward OF
their good and faithful service. Few
will die, and none resign; and, in addi-
ton to this, several members Of the
Grant family will come Of age this year,
and each, upon becoming eligible. would
receive something snug. So Orr is
right in supporting Grant from motives
of simple affection. York Tribune.

The Republicans of Greenville ure
dissatisfied with the condition of things,
and at their last meeting adopted the
following, among other resolutions:
That we profoundly regret the discre-
dit and shame which has been brought
upon the Republican party, not only of
this State, but of the United States, by
the mal-administration of the Govern
ment of this State by the misconduct of
most Of the executive officers of this
State, by the notorious abuse of their
official trusts, and shameless corruption
OF many of the executive officers, and
members and officers of the General AS
sembly, who, in their capacity of public
servants, have wrongfuliy enriched them
selves at the expense of those from whom
they derive their power. Among other
shameful abuses pructiced by these Of
ficers, it appears by the sworn statement
OF Treasurer Parker. that the sum of
S441, 866 65 has already been paid out of
penses Of the last session Of the General
Assembly. At least three-fourths of this
amount was wholly unnecessary, and is
believed to be illegal. In addition to
this sum, there is known to be in the
hands of the various County Treasurers
OF this State pay certificates to an i'm
mense amount, purporting to have been
issued 10 members and employees of the
General Assembly. For this criminal
extravagance and patent fraud, Franklin
J. Moses, Jr., Speaker of the House of
Representatives, is largely responsible
Notwithstanding these facts are we'll sub
stantiated, this convention learns with
pain and regret that the said Franklin
j. Moses, Jr., has announced.himself as
candidate for Governor, and has re-
ceived the endorsement of few bodies
Of Republicans, who have declared that
his course is acceptable to them.
That the drawing of money from the
Treasury under the pretence of the
armed force bill. for the purpose of de.
feating their impeachment, by Governor
Scott and Treasurer Parker, is betrayal
OF the confidence Of the party, and is
conclusive of their utter unworthiness
OF the poaitions which they hold.
At meeting of the Republican party
in Columbia, on Saturday last, resolu-
tions we're introduced and adopted in
structiDg the delegation not to support
Governor r. X. Scott and State Trea-
surer Niles G. Parker as candidates for
re election, nor Gen. Franklin J. Moses,
Jr., as candidate for Governor.
