Colonization.
A gang Of forty negroes who left here on
Friday have been traced by the Liberal
COMMITTEES into Ohio, where il is under
stood they will endeavor TO vote. They are
nowflocated on the Short-line railroad, be-
tween ParkersDurg and Athens, Ohio. The
effect OF coionizing the district negroes in
Pennsylvania is visible in large falling OFF
of the negro registration here. This city is
used as distributing point to colombo yo-
tiers. An extraordinary amount of public
work has been begun by the Board of Pub
lie Works, in order to bring negroes here;
and but for their heavy shipments to Penn
sylvania and Ohio, the negro registration IN
this city, under the impulse of the pros
pective territorial election, would be large +
than ever before.

The New \ Ork Herald OF Monday, in
reviewing the national situation says: "TO
sum up the opiuions of Mr.. Greeley touch
ing these October elections, while he may
have his doubts of Pennsylvania, he seems
TO be confident Of Ohio and Indiana. Nor
can We undertake TO pronounce him in
either case wide Of the mark" The Her
aid proceeds:
The general canvass in behalf of Greeley
and Brown appears to be reduced to I'M
iversal amnesty and to policy Of fraternal
good Will and Cancellation towards the
South as The main question. This propo-
sition is 50 popular that it meets with hard
IL any opposition, East or West; and that
1t has been and is The main strength Of the
opposition alliance against Gen. Grant can
10 longer be questioned. 1t was the I'M
falling resource of Mr.. Greeley in his late
Western excursion, as, indeed, it was
the secret Of his adoption as their
Presidential champion by the Demo-
cratic party. The principle involved
is the great principle of brotheTly
love to or brethren OF the South, now that
they are not only restored TO "the Union
as il - but pledged TO maintain Il; and
herein lies the secret of Mr.. Greeley's pop
ulari;y aud the main reliance of his sup
porters. The cries for civil service reform,
ret, shment, aud other things of that old
sch lie Of 'glittering generalities," has
been 'ouad to 90 for little or nothing in
this canvass against General Grants adj
minislraiiOn; but there is something 10 this
dem nd for the policy Of Cancellation
towards The South which has become at
trac,iye to The people of the North and
heucs the success of Dir. Greeley in harp
ing up3n this popular string.
Dg the main question, after all, is the
finangia! question, and it may be thus ex-
pressed: VIII il be wiser and better for the
censrd financial and business interests OF
The country, people and government, to re-
cleo Gen. Grant in November, or TO reject
him and Try the experiment Of new adj
mi is5ration under MIR. Greeley and thi;
new composite party of Democrats AMI
Liberal Republicans? and upon this com
prphensiye issue We find the main strength
and r-liaUce Of Gen. Grant. But still, up
on al these other disturbing questions there
are such perplexing party complication
that ia order to see the peoples way
through this Presidential contest we mus
await tie returns of these uncertain Octo
her STATE eleci ions.

We were never more thoroughly con-
WINGED of any future result than we are of
the defeat Of every one Of the independent

OF them in our honest opinion, based upon
the most reliable attainable information,
that win not be third in the ace. They
are not within the range of success. Mr..
johnson cannot be elected, but be
may take votes enough from Cheatham
to elecG Maynard. Garrett can
not be elected but he may take votes
enough from Caldwell to elect the Radical
candidate. Brien cannot be elected but he
may get votes enough to defeat the Demo-
cratic nominee and elect the Radical caudi-
date. KeIlar cannot be elected, but he may
take votes enough from Haynes TO elect
Barbour Lewis, Is this a eOnsummstiOn to
be wished by either Of these independent
candidates or their supporters? Yet it is a
result which they make probable by theil
canvass. In this emergency there is but
one sure method to defeat Rsdicalism and
that is by organization and work.

in fierce encounter with brickbats and
pistols. In the course of . few seconds about
so shots were fired by which one whit
man was killed and five or six negroes
wounded, two of whom have since died.
The affray lasted but few minutes when
the negroes left the polls.
The whites claim that the whole affair
was premeditated on the part Of the. ne.
groes; that it was their intention to take
forcible possession of the polls, and they
originated the disturbance with this object
The negroes, however, claim that they
were driven from the polls by violence anc
could get no chance TO vote. They were
addressed by the Mayor, later in the day
who guaranteed them protection. Will

forever unalterable thereafter. He says
that the whole statute can as well be TT
pealed as this part Of it, thc part vetoed,)
as though it was not in the power of the
Legislature to repeal the whole of it. As
we understand it, the act of 1871 has no
greater sacredness and inviolability aboutit
than the act of 1866, or any other act, for
that matter, relating at any time to the
funding of the public debt. And yet the
General Assembly did, in that act, vir-
tually repeal every part and portion of
every other act preceding it, declaring that
no part of the public debt should be paid
except as therein provided. If this princi-
pie of sacredness and inYiolability attaches
to statutes of this kind, why was it that
the Governor did not intcrpose his
veto year ago and save the State
from the Infamous iniquity Of bill which
jerks nearly $50, 900, 900 out OF the people
in interest upon interest, as we have al
ready shown +? The simple fact is, the law
of 1871, stands on precisely the same foot
ing as that of 1866, and all the
other funding laws heretofore passed
by the different Legislatures of the
State. The fact that Governor
Walkers signature is attached to the
engrossed bill filed in the archives Of the
State, gives it no greater validity than il
would have if any other Governor hac
signed it, had such other Governor been ii
his place to approve the bill. ...
