THE SOUTHERN QUESTION" J."

In speaking of the present situation Of the
South the Washington RepgLlcan holds the
following language:
''The political condition Of affairs in most
of the Southern States ut the present time is
of such character as 10 excite tho gravest
apprehensions for the future peace and pros
perity of that section. OF course it is the
fashion of the opposition press and the De-
mocracy 10 throw the whole blame upon the
carpet -baggers and upon the Republican party
CT the SOUTH
Now, if the fault is not at the door of the
carpet -baggers, where does it belong? The
South is certainly in II most deplorable condi-
ton and growing worse so every day. 1t is
certainly not the fault of the white people in
any particular whatever. The negroes were
consolidated against us by the carpet -baggers
from the very beginning. and have remained
so ever since. The mode of reconstruction
was an infamous one, and the origin of the
whole evil. The Radical party did it all, and
did it for base party purposes They were
determined to negroize the South, crush the
white people, and force all the States to be
Republican. This was the crime and this was
the way it was perpetrated. The fearful evils
are now upon us and upon the whole country
and all history and posterity will place the
blame whore it properly belongs. Petersburg

TIONS SPOILED.

NEW YoRK. Aug. 5.-Annie Miller, the little
girl supposed to have been abducted at East New
York by four negroes, has been found and re-
stored to her parents. 1t appears that after pay.
ing visit to the Catholic cemetery, at Flatbush,
she lost her way, and becoming fatlgued, seated
herself on the front steps Of Phillip Hausman s
residence, at Hudson avenue and Webster street,
Flatbush. Mr.. Hausman found her there at 8
O'Clock last evening. She was crying and told
him that she lost. He cared for her until this
morning. and then accompanied her to the Fulton
avenue police station. Capt. LEIGH restored her
to her parents.
There was considerable excitement in East New
York last night, in consequence of a report that
another little girl, named Augusta Gildinier, had
been kidnapped. She had been missing several
hours. A thorough search was made for her In
the nsighborhood of her residence and she was at
length discovered lying behind door in the
house. She was stupeded by gin, which her
mother had given her as o cure for chills and fe
yer. from which she was suffering.

TESTIMONY.

BRooKLrN, August 5.-Theodore TiIton's ac-
tion In bringing his case before the courts, 10
mvorably commented on as the most satisfactory
way for Its adjustment. His counsel, yesterday,
salo the reason for this action was that the Ply
mouth investigating committee had been forced,
eud It was ridiculous to think they could try
beecher without bias as they are all his own
warm personal friends. Besides, they have not
the power to summon witnesses and compel
them TO appear and testify. Hence, their work
must be imperfect and unsatisfactory. They
have been discourteous to Tiltop, who should
have been invited to be present at their sessions
to aid IN their deliberations. Tilton's counsel
Is confident that the committees verdict can
have no possible weight with the public. The
matter Will now necessarily lie over until Sep
| tember. when the courts reopen.
One serious point in connection with the latest
phase OF the Tilton- Beecher scandal, is that
District-Attorney Winslow, who is a member OF
| the investigating committee, aud a warm friend
OF Beecher's. may any day be called upon &c
appear for the people or as complainant in his
| Official capacity, aud conduct the suit against
Beecher.
1t Is understood the latest testimony taken
oeiore The committee Is unimportant. During
| last evening no less than three messenger.
were sent TO Moulton, but all returned withou
seeing him. An aged lady, Mrs. Hart, testified
put her statement has not been made public
After the session was through, District -Attorne,
Winsiow SAID the case would culminate within
twelve hours.
Moultop, last evening, when asked ii join
letter from Beecher and Tilton requesting hin
TO testify would be answered affirmatively, re
Piled ~ should then consider whether speecl
would be more desirable than silence. AS yet
have not even considered that"
In this view his answer to the committee
latest invitation will most probably be a reters
ted refusal. Tllton's counsel propose to conduc
the prosecution against Beecher as n erin. con
suit or as proceedingings quo ,ca,Tanto.
1t is reported that Mr.. Tilton has refused I
