THE Washington correspondent OF
theLouisviLIe COurier-JoWrndIstates that
Senator Robertson, of South Carolina,
has been seeking an interview with the
President for the purpose of stating to
him that he has been entirely imposed
upon by Patterson in reference to the
alleged troubles in that State, that there
have been no real conflicts or disorders
there for long time. This corrobor-
ates the statement of Henry w. Purvis,
e the Radical Adjutant and Inspec-
tor General of South Carolina,
who said to a correspondent of
the Neac York Herald few days ago:
"South Carolina, though just on the
verge of an exciting election, IS more
peuceabye to-day than she has been at
any time since ApriI, 1861. The little
scare in Columbia a few nights ago
was caused by the excited imagination
of an old colored woman, who trans
formed car load Of colored excursion
lists into phantom train of Ku-Klux.
And the story of the horrid Georgia
han arose from a man riding in rapidly
from the country to get a doctor to
visit his sick wife"

LITTLE ROCK.
The Gad's Hill Outlaws Turn Up
ROld Robbery Near Hot SprfnRs.

Bold Robbery Near Hot Springs.
LITTLE Rock, Sept. 1S-Passengers from
Hot Springs who have arrived here this
evening report that about half-past nine
O'Clock last night the stages running be-
tween Malvern and Hot Springs were over
hauled by four men, and the passengers
robbed. Malvern is the stopping place for
Hot Springs on the Iron Mountain and
Southern Railroad. 1t is forty-three miles
south of this city. Last evening il required
five stages to carry the passengers, baggage
aud mail TO the Springs. During the
route they became separated by some
little distance. The first stage was stopped
about three miles from Hot Springs. The
driver recognized two of the men as being
the same who robbed the Hot Springs stage
last spring, and who were the Gad's Hill
robbers. They presented their pistols and
guns in their usual style, and made the
driver dismOunt and the passengers get out.
They then went through each one separ-
ately, taking money and watches. Ladies
were not disturbed. After getting through,
the, driver was ordered to put out his
lights and unhitch his horses. This
done, one man was left to guard
the party and the other three went
a few yards in the rear ana waited for the
stage. The remaining ones were met and
gone through with in the same manner.
Several invalids and ladies were not dis
turbed. After the last stage had been
robbed, the parties opened box Of grapes
and invited the ladies to partake Of the
same. They then took horse, and after
trying his speed, left their own horses and
departed. The robbers obtained about
a thousand dollars in money and three
gold watches. They returned one watch
to the owner because it had Masonic en-
blems engraved on it. Another gentleman
persuaded them to return his gold watch
and chain by convincing them that they
were merely gold washed. The deputy
sheriff OF this county is in hot pursuit Of
the robbers, with large posse being only
five miles behind them, this afternoon, and
hopes are entertained that they will be
captured.

THE CANVASS IN THE THIRD DIS
TRICT.
Athens Post.

1t is stated that Gen. VIM. B. Stokes,
independent candidate for Congress,
has asked Gen. Dibrell and Col. Nelson
for division of time, and proposes to
speak in every county in the district.
The regular candidates have not yet
agreed upon a list of appointments.
We learn, however, that Gen. Dibren
proposes to open the canvass at Ben
ton, Polk county, next Monday, and
think it likely Gen. Stokes and Col.
Nelson viii both be with him. II is only
some six weeks to the election, and if a
list of appointments are to be made
at all, it is about time they were pub
lished.

A Failing of in the Wheat Yield.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1S.-A large number of
letters have been received from grain men
in various parts of the State, and nearly
every one contain a contradiction OF the
early estimates in regard TO the extent OF
the wheat crops. 1t is alleged that the gen
eral yield will fall very much below the
published estimates Of gentlemen who have
given the matter attention. The crop IN
the near vicinity of st. Paul is reported
heavier than anywhere else in the State,
and the threshing machines are already
dispelling the expectations Of total crop
of So, 600 900 bushels in Minnesota for the
uaar 1874

A specimen of the scalawag scoun-
drels, whom the honest men of Louisi-
ana are trying to overthrow, is de-
scribed by the Reporter of Mansfield.
In that State. His names are H. Lee
and W. S. Custer, and he is a Kellogg
candidate for State Senator. His
origin is unknown in Louisiana, but he
had not been in Mansfield long before
he was suspected of horse stealing, and
was proved to have been accessory to
the murder of d man named Bunnel,
for which he narrowly y escaped lynch
ing. He attempted to assail the virtue
of respectable young white girl, be-
sides breaking his wife's arm with a
stick. He forged an order on a mer-
chant for bill of goods, and, accord
ing to the Reporter, was guilty, during
his eight years residence in Mansfield,
of hundred penitentiary Offenses and
score of capital crimes. His cul-
minating act was to forge thenames of
a number Uf respectable citizens to a
paper calling upon him to be a candi-
date for the Legislature. Now, the re-
spectacle citizens do not like the
forgery Of their names, and to escape
a horsewhipping, Custer, alias Lee,
moved in the night TO Shreveport,
where he again turns up as a candidate
for Office.

CHECKING TIE REACTION.
Effects Of the Louisiana Troubles on
the Maine Election.


The Republican majority in Maine it
now appears is greater than in any off
year since 1868, and exceeds that of
last year by from 1000 to 5000. Both
parties have however put forth their
strength, for although about $4,000
more Republicans voted than in 1873,
the majority is only as stated above.
The returns from the Congress districts
also show party loyalty, Speaker Blaine
being accorded a majority nearly as
large as in the Presidential year. The
turmoil in the South has evidently put
all other questions out of sight, and
revived the party spirit of other days.
Cincinnati Commercial.
The political effect of the troubles
in the Southern States is seen in the
sudden check of the reaction which
was to carry the Democratic party into
power with yell. Everybody counted
on a reduction of the Republican ma
jority in Maine and the possible defeat
of one or two Congressional candidates.
Instead of that the Republicans sweep
the State by an increased majority
over 1873, and elect nearly all their
candidates.

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECU.
TIVE COMMITTEES ADDRESS.

We publish this morning the address
of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, devoted mainly to discus
sion of the Civil Rights bill and the
question of responsibility for lawless-
ness in Tennessee. Though depreca-
ting and condemning these acts in
strong and emphatic language, it fixes
the responsibility when justly belongs,
upon the Radical agitators who have
been and are now trying to create
. disturbances in the South out of which
to make political capital We hope
this address may be carefully read by
all fair-minded men in the Northern
States, whether Republicans or Demo
Gratis. They cannot but admire the
tone of moderation and respect for the
laws and the constitution which is
breathed throughout every line. 1t
counseIs, under every and all circum-
. stances, obedience to law and reliance
upon peaceable remedies. The earnest
appeal to the people of the Northwest
must command their attention and
arouse their sense of impending danger
from this bill, which, In its enforce
ment, must destroy the last vestige Of
constitutional liberty.
Full justice is done the black race, IN
the address, and we hope they will
attentively consider its calm, wise sug-
gestions in regard to their real inter-
ests. The suggestions about organiza-
q ton and harmony, and the Just COM
pliment paid our nominee for Governor,
will meet with universal approbatiOn

GOvERNOR BROWNS PROTEsT.

The protest of Gov. Brown, sent yes
terday to the President of the United
States, must necessarily attract great
attention, not only in our own State,
but throughout the country. Although
our State authorities, and especially
the Executive, are making most
earnest and successful efforts to
arrest and bring to punishment the Of
tenders against the laws, yet the United
States Marshal is, we learn, arresting
men who have been indicted IN the
State courts and apprehended by the
State authorities, and taking them in
chains to Memphis. What is to be the
result of all this? Is constitutional
rule at an end? Are there no REM
nants left of the doctrine so dear to
the founders of the repubhc-the doc
trine of self-government? What is
now happening in the South may,
IN a few years, happen in some
Northern State. When the bull
warks of liberty are gone, where
is the safety for personal or po-
htical rights, either in the North or in
the South? If our liberties are to be
destroyed by the bayonet, may they not
lose theirs IN the same manner? May
not the poisoned chalice be returned to
their own lips?
Let all lovers of constitutional hber-
ty be aroused to a sense of the danger.
In the name of the people of Tennes-
see, both white and black, Republican
and Democrat, we thank Gov. Brown
for his manly and noble protest.
We earnestly trnst that Gen.
Grant, as President of the
whole people, and not of mere par
ty, will look at this question in its true
light, and will not trample the laws and
constitution under foot at the bidding
Of corrupt partisan officials. He now
has it IN his power to show that he has
a regard for the rights of the people,
and for the constitution Of his country
