A CoLoRED KU K1Ux ScRApE IN CAM
DRN.-The Camden Journal, of the 1st,
says:
On the 18th ult., near English's mill,
in this County, one Harry MolIae, a
colored man, was visited late at night by
certain parties, who knocked at the door
OF his house and asked il he was in. but
not waiting for an answer, burst open
the door, and rushing in to the number
OF fifteen or twenty, felliupon the strug-
Cling Harry and threw him to the ground,
after which they slipped bag or cap
over his head and tied it tight around his
neck. They then tied his hands and
feet. and carried him long distance in
the woods, when they finally deposited
him upon the ground, and taking sticks
beat him until they thought he was dead,
cut off piece of his ear, and untying
him left him there. After some hours
he recovered sufficiently to drag himself
home, where he has been lying in bed
ever since. He has told several persons
that he recognized the parties who beat
him, by the cap slipping off while the
beating was administered, and that every
one Of them was negro, though there
was one who was lighter in color than
the rest, and be, said Harry, might have
been white, but I don't think 80. The
cause Of the beating was alleged to have
been that Harry bewitched his daughter
in-law, who has lately died. For fear
lest Radical soeptics may disbelieve this,
We have fortified ourselves with abun.
dant proof, which shall be forthcoming
ii needed. Comment is unnecessary.

baggers, said Mr.. Beck, in his Frankfort
spesoh. have robbed South Carolina Of
$4,000. 900, and Gov. Scott. out Of his
stealings. has built himself at his home
in Marietta. Ohio. q house that cost
100000. Is it not high time that officers
elected by the people Of the States from
among themselves, under the forms of
constitutional government. should take
the place OF Grants oarpet-bag poten-
tates? Greeley is for local self-govern-
ment.
So far only 800, 600 copies of Summers g
speech have bean distributed.
Grant is not likely to gain much in
buying up Confederate archives. The
New York Herald says: "Even if genu-
inc documents could be obtained which
would tend to infame again those pas
sions which seven years of peace should
have subdued, would it not be better
patriotism to consign them to the flames
than to publish them? Is partisanship
80 exacting that it should run the risk OF
renewed war? Gen. Grants popularity
is aurest as a peace candidate, and the
motto OF his supporters should be "The
Republic is Peace"
Greeley will be the next President OF
the United States. As Mr.. Sumner says,
the heart of the people is for him, and
the movement which has set in for him
is irresistible. We have had long and
dreary night, but. thank Heaven, the
day Of reconciliation and peace is dawn
ing at last.
The carpet-baggers have robbed the
Southern States of over 5000, 900, 900.
The carpet-baggers are Grants agents
aud lieutenants at the South, and
through their Union Leagues they have
thus far been enabled to control the
negro vote. There is better time COM
ing.
Sumner speaks words of wisdom to
the negroes of the South when he says
to them: II am sure it cannot be best
for the colored people to band together
in hostile camp. provoking antagonism
and keeping alive the separation of
races" The negro is free and invested
with citizenship, and nobody thinks of
depriving him either of his freedom or
his political rights; and the most fatal
thing he con do is to continue to hearken
to the counsels of Grants carpet-bag-
gers.

Haters OF tobacco will be sorry to hear
that DR.. John Murray. o distinguished
English physician, has announced his
belief that the use Of snuff will, in m INV
cases. arrest the progress of pulmonary
consumption. Contrary to general
rule in political economy, an increase
in the production of the article will, in
this instance, lessen the consumption.

THE PENNSYLVANIA SPLIT. The split
in Pennsylvania is unbeatable. The
chasn-not yet bloody-is widening.
The Washington Forney, ID. O.,) brother
to the Colonel. is out in long letter,
which he heads, ga Reply to Cameron's
Falsehoods." It is delectable develop
ment of personal elimination and recri-
mination. D. G. F. makes the state
ment that in an interview at the invita-
tion of Cameron, that gentleman in
formed him that "John W. Forney
might have anything he desired, if he
only stopped fighting Hartranft." This
is close imitation of Grant in his at
tempt to win over Sohurz, by Offering
him belly full of patronage. if he would
only go st. Domingo. Forney seems to
have been proof againat the offer made
him, as was Senator Sohurz. Public
virtue must be recuperatiDg. The For
neys are. from what motive it would not
be exactly fair to inquire, doing some-
thing in her behalf, and we may trust
that they will do some good, although
they appear to be oompensating the
other side by sustaining the vices of the
National Administration while warning
upon the corruptions in Pennsylvania.
D. F. @. makes the following prediction
with regard to the party prospects in
that State:
"The Republican party is sure to be
defeated in Pennsylvania in October,
and Simon Oameron's personal rule and
political prostitutions are the causes
which will produce the disa ter. It is
the only way for the people to get rid of
him and break up the vile combination
which he calculates to fasten on the
State after he descends to his grave. It
is the only esoope from his pollutions
and the plunderings of those he has
trained as his followers, It is the only
way to light up the dark places in the
financial affairs OF Pennsylvania; to
cleanse its auditing Office; to fix proper
guards around its treasury. and prevent
its Chief Magistrate from being made a
vassal Of the Olan Cameron. A Repub-
lioan dofeat at this time, I admit, is q
fearful venture, but the tremendous in
huences demanding it in Pennsylvania
are like the knife OF the surgeon, which
oxts deep into rotten part to save an
entire body from fostering corruption
and death. I rejoice to feel, therefore,
that the people of Pennsylvania are
moved by such spirit, and the people
OF the whole country will be glad when
this corrupt ring Ia sent to the grave Of
Tammany."

returning. He has heard of Greeley's
nomination, and is bringing the North
Pole home with him, on which to hoist
Greeley hat-specially manufactured
for the purpose from the hair of the

Secretary Boutwell,, since he has heard
the news from North Carolina, has in

New York to pass this hat and pole in

Printed circulars sent around to few
individuals here and there never effected
anything, and no sane man would expect
them to. Nor was it very wise, in our
judgment, to name the sum to be rub
scribed at twenty-five cents. It is pa
tent. at any rate, that there was mis-
management somewhere. Will any one
say that there is. not man in the State
who will contribute willingly of his
means to rid the State Of the speculstors
and robbers, and to punish them? Yet
1t is fact that not a single quarter Of o
dollar was sent ia response to this oircu-
lar. The people Of South Carolina are
not. all models Of public spirited and
active generous citizens, but they are not
entirely set Of mean.spirited, close.
Rstea, oowardly ours. They have been
despendent heretofore from want of
confidence in the courts, and from the
support and sympathy which Grant and
the General Government gave the thieves.
Grant is now in eztremis, ana is only too
willing to disown his misbegotten orea-
lures here. Everything is propitious,
In fact, and we believe the taxpayers
will subscribe generously If active mea-
sures are Immediately set on foot.
