Progress of the Gubernatorial Canvass

GREENvILLE, Sept. 30.-The candi-
dates for Governor spoke here to-day
to a good sized audience, that gave the
closest attention. Maynard led off.
His topics we're the Funding law, the
Assessment law and the Penitentiary
lease. E
Judge Porter followed with speech
that not only satisfied, but delighted
his friends. Our standard bearer has
proved himself equal to the occasion.
To-day he has recorded a brilliant
victory. Already the Narragausett
would feign take some thing weaker
than Porter. Maynard was beaten.
Many of his friends acknowledge it.
Judge Porter has made fine impress
ion among our people. Put down old
Greene at four hundred majority for
Porter. Il. Z. X.

WELL said and true. The Chatta-
nooga Times, reviewing the bloody his
tory of the Republican party, thinks
it astonishing that northern Repub-
lican with soul in his body, a heart
in his breast, brains enough to COM
prehend the situation of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, and who has read
and understands the record of his
party, can support the cruel course
pursued toward the crushed and rob-
bed people of Louisiana. Their up
rising against Kellogg is a trifling
street-quarrel compared with the "un-
lawful war" waged in behalf of the
'downtrodden slave" by the Republi-
can party for ten long years. Their
slavery is thousand times more CALLING
than was the bondage of the black
man. He had never known freedom.
They are proud, high-spirited people,
forced t. bow the r necks to the OPP
pressor's yoke, held down by the pow
er of the nation, while foreign adven-
turers plumber them at their leisure.

GRANT sends no troops to quiet
riots and strikes in the North, because
poor, white trash deserves no protec-
ton anywhere; but let there be mig
ger in the wood pile, and the army and
navy are at his service. Right, or
wrong his cause is just. and the bestgov-
eminent in the world has no higher
nor holier duty than to take care OF
its African pets.

GRANTS Louisiana policy is SO
strongly condemned, even by some of
his leading party organs, that he may
be induced by self interest, if no high
er motive, to make some effort to cor
rect his error, by taking such steps as
simple justice demands.

HENRY WARD BEECHER in the
Christian Union says, that Grant ought
now to call an extra session of Con-
gress and give the Louisianians free
and unrestrained right to vote against
Kellogg. Notwithstanding Beecher
stands up for the South in this matter
and the civil rights bill, there are men
who want folks hung because they op-
pose their Internal and hellish mean

THE refinement of tyrannysis devel-
oped in the government Of Louisiana.
Kellogg, usurper by the gree of Grant
and the power of federal bayonets, robs
thesubstantial people Of the State, to fee
Butler, Carpenter and other congress-
men and members of the administra
ton, that through their influence his
usurpation may be upheld and their
incomes increased out of the fund
stolen from the tax payers of Louisi-
ana. Thus by force, an oppressed
people are made to furnish the means
for the perpetuation of the tyranny to
which they are q fully subjected.
Every honest man in the North ought
to stand abashed before the fact that
such acts of infamy are perpetrated by
their fellow citizens whom they have
elevated to power. THERE'S no record
of tyranny, of insult, or oppression
perpetrated by the worst rulers known
to history, which the Radicals have
not repeated in their oppressive rule
over the South.

MAYNARD is a man of ability and
cunning, but not strong enough TO up
set his past record, or so gloss it over
as to make it acceptable to the people
he betrayed, and now hates. In New
England, which he loves and has so
faithfully served throughout his whole
public life, such a record would be a
crown of glory, but Tennesseeans are
men of different mold and, with rare
exceptions, despise the traitor and
would be destroyer of their rights,
liberties and prosperity.

THE Radicals, in the late Nashville
election, were SO badly beaten that
they hardly know themselves. They
are represented by a single official in
the city government, and sense of
Loneliness, if not of decent regard for
public opinion, ought to induce him
to resign and hide himself.

CEDAR HILL Circuit is certainly one
of the most desirable rural appoint
ments in the Tennessee Conference.
1t has a good parsonage located in
Cedar Hill, three good church houses,
VIZ: Turnersyille, Adams Station and
Cedar Hill, the latter two located on
the st. Louis 4 Southern Eastern rail-
road. Ii also has a magnificent Camp
Ground. The entire church property
IN the bounds of the circuit is valued
at S9OOO-and clear of debt. 1t has a
membership Of 498 and good Sunday
School at each appointment. The pas
toral term of the Rev. T. J. Duncan
expires Oct. 6, and We bespeak for that
noble and christian community a pro-
totype of Goldsmith's village pastor.

THE people of Louisiana have come
to some sort of an understanding with
their oppressors, but we fear they have
sacrificed too much for peace. With
three federal officers on the returning
Board, there would seem to be little
chance for fair election.

LOUISIANA remains quiet and there
seems to be a disposition to wait and
see whether a sense of duty, justice,
or honor may not move Grant to take
a wiser view of the situation and re-
call the blood hounds sent there to
hunt down the better classes in order
that thieves may have full sway. The
hope is a forlOrn one, in the meantime,
however. there is a revolution in the
sentiment of the masses, that will pre-
clude the probability of success on the
part of Kellogg sentiment likely to
enforce the demand of justice, so long
UNDECIDED by the administration. The
revolution promises to be silent and
bloodless, but none the less radical
and successful.

when he said hardly any of the South

zeal rule, though none are entirely ex-
empt from the curse of Radicalism.

THE CONSERVATIVE PROGRAMME.
Conservatives generally think they
have gained but little by the confer
ence agreement. It's now stated that
compromises will be made in every
parish in the State by Conservatives
similar to that recently effected in
Terre Bonnie parish, dividing the
Offices equitably between the colored
Republicans and white Conservatives.

IT is singular coincidence that
Beecher returned to Brooklyn, ard
Kellogg was reinstated as usnrper, on
the same day. The one marks an era
in theology, the other in politics.
Both are exceptional rather than re-

THE Detroit Tribune, Radical
speaking of the Louisiana muddle
thus EXPRESSES itself:

speaking OF the Louisiana muddle,
thus expresses itself:
For these calamitous results we
must blame, primarily, the frauds
which rendered the election of 1872 a
farce and disgrace; secondly, Congress,
for having failed to meet and settle the
Louisiana question courageOusly and
fairly; and, finally, the reckless and
factious white mans party of the
South, who have thus attempted vio-
lenoe and bloodshed.
The Tribune has forgotten that
Grant and his Radical tools perpe-
trated the frauds that are "a farce and
disgrace" that it was Radical con-
gress which failed to settle the Difficult
ty fairly and that they were Radical
leaders who inaugurated the black
mems party in the South, which ne
cessitated a counter organization for
the sole purpose OF self-prOtection. 1t
is by such assumptions and evasionS
that the attempt is made to fasten upon
southern whites, the responsibility for
all the negro outbreaks and Radical
vilIanies perpetrated in the interest of
Radical rings, capital and monopolies.

SID WALLACE.
The Particulars Of the Hanging Of One
of the Johnson County ,iArk., Des.
peradOes at ClaTksVllle
Yesterday.

LITTLE Rock, March 13.-The par
ties who left CIarksviIIe at ten O'Clock
this morning, state that Sid Wallace, the
Johnson county desperate, was to te
hanged at twelve o'clock, and every
PREPARATION was made. A Gdsstte re-
porter was with the condemned man up
to eleven o'clock last night, and through
out the conversation he wore that same
confident air which has characterized
him during his long imprisonment. He
wrote letter to the Gazette last night,
which will be published to-mOr-
row, and In which he states
it is his last letter; that he
Is murdered by his enemies through the
forms of law, without giving him the
least showing.
The scaffold was erected in the court
house yard, just in front Of the Jail,
where Wallace was confined, looking at
it. He asked the reporter if he did not
think that was mighty shabby affair
upon which to hang him. He express
ed no fear of death, whatever, and
stated his confidence of being borne
away to heaven by angels. II
turned loose now, he said, with q
couple of good six-shooters, he thought
he could get away with good many Of
his enemies, but he stated they were
afraid to meet him. They were a pack
Of towards who had sworn away his life
because they were afraid of him.
The crowd in attendance at the execu-
ton is described by parties down from
there tonight as the largest ever assem-
bled in Johnson county. Wallace was
related to one of the oldest and best FAM
lilies in the county, His father prior to
the war, was member of the legisla-
ture and a prominent Methodist
divine. He was killed by jayhawkers
about the close of the war. Sid had the
reputation of killing several men besides
the one for which he was hung. There
was also a sentence of four years
in the penitentiary hanging over him
for attempting the assassination of
another man. A special train was to
leave Clarksville at two o'clock, but has
not yet arrived. The other train left at
ten o'clock, two hours before the execu-
tiOO.
