CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA
special telegraphio despatch to the Lon
don Telegraph, from a well.informed
correspondent at Alexandria, states that
an Egyptian army OF 1000 men, with a
reserve Of 1000 more. had advanced into
Abyssinia, with view to conquering
the country. The Emperor Kassai was
marching against them with superior
force in point of numbers, but it was be.
lieved that, as the Egyptians were pro-
vided with Remington rifles and mitrail-
!euses. tho Abyssinians would be de-
teated and Magdals eventually taken.
Some European adventurers arc said to
accompany the invading force. A chance
may thus be afforded to the American
Generals Rhett, Stone. Loripg and
others. who are in the Egyptian army,
OF again seeing active service and acquir.
ing military skill.

WORDS OF WARNING TO SoUrHRnS
WHITES AND BLACKs-The New York
Herald thus shows the folly and the
danger of the Grant design OF fostering
war OF races at the South:
The real interest the people huve in
the North Carolina election is in the evil
dence it will furnish of the progress OF
the attempt to array the Southern ne
groes as race against the white citizens
Of the South. The solid support Of the
Republican candidates by the Southern
negroes has in it, then, no praseworthy
and laudable feature, but is the result OF
teachings that have instilled into the
hearts Of the blacks of the South q
deadly hatred Of their white neighbors.
and belief that there can never be
peace between the two races.
If the colored vote should be divided
as we'll as the white vote in the South,
there would be better prospect OF q
restoration of constitutional government
in that section of the Union. As it is,
the Southern negroes, who will probably
support Grant with scarcely an e1oep-
ton, will demand of his Administration
new privileges and new advantages over
the whites, in the event of his re-elec-
ton; while, il Greeley should be chosen
President. they are very likely to plunge
their States into riot and insubordina-
ton. In either case, there is probably
more trouble and suffering in store for
tho unhappy South.

for the last four years by her public SER
wants, her citizens traduced by their
chief magistrate, the free schools ne.

mookery, and no adequate protection

ance that all who desire reform in the
Government should unite and organize,
80 as to WELD their strength effectually
in the approaching election.
Resoluea, That il is our true policy to
support men without reference to their
past party affiliations. provided their

they will execute the functions of their
Offices honestly and faithfully in the in
forests of the people.
Resolued. That we, the people of Aiken
County, in Convention assembled, do re-
solve that in the event that any fraud is

Well. there were, at 8 o'clock on that
evening, seven men at the point in Syca-

really an uptown extension OF the big

is to clean the open end Of that sewer,
SO as to prevent delay to workmen en-
gagged in constr 1cting it up Sycamore

stirring the sediment at the bottom OF
the sewer the water from the showers
would wash it away, aud their work
would in this way be greatly expedited.

went into the sewer some distance and

Republican Reform

We hnve awaited with great interest
and no little anxiety the assembly Of the
Republican State Convention, now in
session, in order to ascertain what degree
OF sincerity and genuine earnestness
there was in the universal cry by all the
Radical leaders for reform in the corrupt
administration Of the past four years.
No sensible man expected that the ras-
Gals now in power would or could reform
themselves. Such result would be
contrary to the nature OF things, and
against all human experience. One
might as reasonably hope to sec stream
of water run upwards. or tree grow
with its roots in the air. The rank and
file of the Republican party-the freed
men on the farms-do, we ore convinced.
desire q correction Of the sad abuses
which their representatives have inflicted
upon the State, that taxation should be
as low as the requirements of good 60
vernment will allow, and that honesty
and economy should supplant that theft
and prohigacy which has brought the
State to ruin, the Republican party to
disgrace, and the negro race to reproach
and to possible danger. Their material
interests are Identical with those of their
white fellow-citizens. The prosperity
of the one cannot be advanced or re-
tarded without similar effect being felt
by the other. The masses of the CO.
lored citizens can have no share in the
manipulated millions of the financial
ring. nor in the ill-gotten gains of legis-
lative bribery and corruption. They
have no motives, therefore, to favor q
continuation of the frauds and the reck-
less extravaganza Of the present regime
They do seek reform, bat they have not
the sagacity to attain it. They have, at
any rate. been sadly cheated in the State
Convention. The very same scoundrels
who have for four years past misruled
the State compose majority of the pre-
sent Convention. They had control of
the primary organizations of the party,
they preached reform as Justify as the
rest, and, despite the honest efforts of
Orr, Corbin, and other decent men, they
manipulated the County Conventions,
and had themselves sent as delegates to
Convention to work reform aoithin the
Republican ranks They will fill the Of
fees OF the State with men Of their own
stripe. as matter of course.
Up to the time of the writing of this
article no nominations have been made.
but it is very clesrly to be seen that there
is not the least hope of such ticket
being put forth as would give the friends
of government the slightest guaranty
that there will be a change for the bet
ter in the coming two years. The only
show of contest is between Moses and
Chamberlain. The one the moro diaso-
lutte and corrupt, the other tho moro
dangerous. No man with spark of
self-respect, or Of regard for his State,
can support either of them.

FATAL ACCIDBNT.-We are informed a
fatal shooting affray took place at Geneva
recently. It appears that previous un.
friendliness existed between the parties,
who were brothers.in- -law-Mr. Goolsby
and Mr.. Anglin-and that Mr.. Anglin
hail been ordered by Mr.. Goolsby not to
enter his house again. The other dsy,
Mr. Anglin drove up TO Mr.. Goolsby s
for some purpose, whereupon he was
tired at by Goolsby. Mrs. Goolsby, in
attempting to get possession of the pis.
tol, received the contents, accidentally,
IN her head, and died instantly. It is
supposed the death of his mother so
shocked the young man, that he ran off
into the woods and shot himself. Tho
report OF pistol was heard.

Steamers to Germany nearly every day;

suggestive hint. Does this mean that if
foreign-born citizen chooses to vote
against Grant. he is thereafter thought
by the Grant men to be no longer worthy
to live in this country? Is it such a
crime i'll German. or an Irshman, or
Scotchman, or Welshmnn, or Scan
dinavian, to vote against his Exccllency,
that he should rather leave the country
and lose his citizenship?
One thing is pretty certain-if his Ex-
cellency and his partisans want to deport
oil foreign-born oitizens who mean to
vote against him, steamers will have to
sail much more frequently for Europe
than they do now to send them home.

IoLlIICAh OOTTINGS. - Inc plaudltS
which respond to Mr.. Greeley's Port
land speech are mated with the sugges-
ton, which has attended each Of his pre-
ceding public appearances, that as he
has done SO we'll, he had best say no
more. His Cincinnati letter, his Balti-
more letter, his letter to Carl Sohurz,
his talk to the newspaper people in Bos-
ton, his several minor speeches, all en-
countered this criticism, admirable;
don't spoil it by another word" Yet
each succeeding utterance has been, at
least. as good as the last. The truth is
that Mr.. Greeley understands himself
better than his critics. He also under
stands the situation. For thrse months
he has traversed slippery ground with
out stumbling, and we can trust him to
finish the journey without additional
counsel.
Comfy, the hideous postmaster who
edits the Columbus Journal, talks about
the pelting of Grant speakers in Ken
tucky with stones and rotten eggs, and
fairly foams at the mouth. In his head
long passion, the ugly fellow forgets the
chopping down OF Greeley poles, the
burnings OF Greeley and Brown in Of
figy, the murder Of Greeley voters, the
drowning OF Greeley man by gang OF
Grant rufians, the hurling Of rotten eggs
at Greeley speakers, etc., etc., all OF
which have taken place recently in COM
munities controlled by the Presidents g
friends. Come, come, Comly.
The Liberals of Alabama have egresd
to support the Democratic nominees OF
that State, though the former are with
out any representation on the ticket, the
nominations having been made before
the Baltimore Convention had acted.
Such evidences of cordial cooperation
are not only encouraging, but partiou-
larly significant. A cordial union OF all
conservative elements, such as that in
dicated by the Liberals of Alabama, will
insure nearly every Southern State for
Greeley and Brown.
The Radical Congressional Committee
at Washington are sending out thousands
of circulars in the interest Of the Louis.
vile Convention. This is we'll enough.
Inasmuoh as Col. Duncan is working in
the interest of the Radical party, it is as
little as the Radical party can do to work

GOOD NEws.-The notion that Penn.
sylvania is to be the great battle ground
Of the pending Presidential struggle is
becoming so prevalent that all informa-
ton bearing upon the struggle in that
State will be received throughout the
country with interest. The changes
from Grant to Greeley in the old Key
stone are numbered by thousands, and
many OF them are the most influentia
citizens in the localities in which they
reside. In q recent number of the Lam
caster LnteRigencer, one of the most reli-
able journals in Pennsylvania, we found
the following words of cheer, which We
reproduce with pleasure. simply adding
that our private advices confirm the
good news in every particular. From
different parts OF the State" said the
InteAigencer, "we have news of large
meetings being held, at which Democrats
and Liberal Republicans unite in spirit
OF complete harmony. In the Western
Counties this is particularly noticeable,
and some Of the strongest Radical Coun-
ties of the West and Northwest give
promise of complete political revolu-
ton. But the movement is not confined
to any section of the State. All over
this grand old commonwealth former
party ties are being broken, and men
who have been bitter political foes are
striking hands upon the broad platform
of reconciliation and reform. Last
Thursday night an immense and cnthu-
siastio meeting was held in the public
square of Easton, which was presided
over by one who had long been leader
in the Republican party. Among the
vice. e-presidents and secretaries we're nu-
merous prominent Republicans. The
meeting was addressed by Liberal Re-
publicans and Democrats. and the great
est enthusiasm prevailed. This is but
the beginning of the end. Before the
frosts OF October whiten the stubble
fields, and give to the forests tints of
crimson and gold. there will be such an
uprising OF the people Of this State
against corruption and personal rule as
was never witnessed in steady. slow
going Pennsylvania" "-DaAimore Gazette.
