BarbOdr Lewis Declares I'm Favor of
Plying all Southern Losses by the
War.
MEMPHIS, Oct. S.-The appeals Grand
Junction special to-day says: Col. II. Ca
sey Young, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, has one continued triumph. All
along the Charleston Railroad he has made
friends. In Hardeman county, Lewis
opened to-day and struve hard to make a
point. Col, Toung's questions COMPOUNDED
Lewis 81 that the evidence was complete of
his inability to meet them. Lewis made
many promises to the Southern people dur
ing his speech, and said he was in favor Of
having all losses caused by the war paid to
those who suffered. Referring to the Civil
Rights bill, he said it dId,not mean social
equality. Nature regulates the questions
arising on this subject, and there was need
ed riational law.
Col. Young made strong point in his
appeal to the people when he told them, If
they thought it right that they should
apply for justice and losses through Radi-
cal Congressman who had served several
years and who had done nothing for the
people, they could do so. Lewis had never
proposed measure that would benefit the
people whose suifrages he now begged.

The Observation-Disclosures Prospects

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. S.-Gentlemen en-
gagged in agriculture who have been travel
ing in central, southwestern and northern
Ohio, make much more favorable report
on the crops than have been sent out by
the Agricultural Department. The drought
still continues to some extent, but the
wheat and rye are already well up and they
are looking well. In Union, Marion and
Delaware counties, and eastward toward
the river, there is very little corn, but in
the other sections mentioned the
prospect is one of abundance. The
acreage is greater than last year, and though
the percentage of bushels is less to the
acre, the corn is very solid, and will weigh
well. The dry weather has matured the
crop and the fodder has been entirely Sc
cured. The improved corn returns, and
the high price of hogs are resulting in an
increasing feeling, thus promising a greater
number of pounds of pork than had been
calculated on.

BARBOUR LEWIS, the present Re-
publican Congressman from the Tenth
District, follows close on the heels OF
VIM. B. Stokes. During his speech at
Grand Junction yesterday, we are told
he made great promises to the South
ern people, and said he was in favor OF
having all losses caused by the wal
paid to those who suffered" This
platform embraces much more than
Stokes two thousand million dollar
scheme. The latter proposes to pay
for slaves only. His Memphis con-
frere wants "an losses" paid. These
Radicals use big bait, but Tennessee

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "a committee
Of representative colUred men have issued
an address to the people of Louisiana, fore
shadowing their political action. They
say they are Republicans, both by instinct
and conviction. They remark:
While we have 50 much TO encourage us
in the attitude Of the national administra-
tion, and are sustaining the State govern
ment, we can't be insensible to the fact,
that the Republican party in this State,
since reconstruction has been manipulated
and controlled by men as much bleached in
complexion and politics as the most rampant
white Lacquer In Louisiana. The power
anti patronage of the State government and
some of the Federal offices in the city are
being dispensed so as to exclude our race
and intelligence from political prominence.
So humiliating has keccme our experience
under the administrations which have been
inaugurated by our suffrages, thai we oc-
casionaly doubt the Republicanism of some
of our leaders.
There is species of myst ny, SO far as We
are concerned, about the plans Of the cam
paigh and the policy of the State Admins
tration, which denies to every colored man
in this Commonwealth, not excepting the
Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary o. State,
the Superintendent of Public Education
and the State Treasurer, all participation
and knowledge of the confidential work
ings of the party and Government.
They complain that they have not been
permitted to shape the policy of the Gov
eminent set up by their suffrages, and are
not responsible for it.
In conclusion, the. signers Of the address
authorize All Executive Committee to con
fer with any body of citizens in frrtherance
of united action for the improvement of
the laws and public affairs.

tSAVAGE AND JOHNSON.\
The Formers Speech at LebanOn-A
Fierce Assault Upon the Ex-PresI-
dent.

Lebanon Herald, Oct =.
Hon. John H. Savage came to Leb-
anon Saturday, intending to address
the people with respect to his candi-
dscy for United States Senator, but at
the solicitation of many friends de-
ferred speaking till Friday next in or
der to meet the great Pisistratus, An
drew johnson. Mr.. Savage talked to a
tolerably large assembly for about
forty-hve minutes. He made some al
lusions to the character of johnson as
a politician, and presented him as a
simon pure demagogue, resolved upon
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT though 1t
might involve the disruption of his
country. Mr.. Savage said that A. j.
was untrue to his constituents, and that
he did not understand the COnstitu-
ton, his ignorance of which was plain
ly evident from his State papers. The
speaker disputed the title of Johnson
TO the name of statesman. He only
merited the shameful name of dema-
gogue as conveyed by The modern con-
struction Of that odious term. Mr..
Savage then proceeded to discuss the
financial policy Of A. J. during his ad-
ministration, and showed 1t up in No
favorable light.

Col. JOHN H. SAVAGE and ex-Pres-

political enemies, and have not spoken

on hand, at the same time and place.
This would appear to mean business of
the liveliest nature, and we await de-
velopments with some degree of i'm

LONDON, Oct. S.-A special from Berlin
says the Won Arnim affair has taken very
ssriotls turn. The Emperor has ordered no
stone to be left unturned in the efforts to
recover the missing documents.
BERLIN, Oct. S.-Count Won Arnim had
an interview with his son and a Govern
ment official yesterday. In the course Of
conversation The Count protestef against
the insihuation that he had published or
intended to publish, any documents ne
tanned by him. He asserted that there
were no State secrets contained in the pa
pers.

LONDON, Oct. S.-A special to the
Standard, from Berlin, states that in con-
sequence of the domicilary visits to the
residences of friends of Count Won Arnim
throuahouQthe empire, they cannot commit
nicite with him. II is reported that the
documents are contained in forthcoming
book, the early sheets of which are already
in circulation in illtramoIite circles in Nu-
iiich andIVienna. 1t is now said the missing
documents number one hundred.
PARIS, Oct. S.-The journal de Paris
says that Count Won Arnim, when ambas-
sador, fastened the downfall of President
Thiers and urged Germany to recognize
the government Of MacMahon immediately.
Prince Bismarck disapproted OF this
course of Won ArniIn and wrote to The lat
ter, explaining the reason why he pre-
ferred the policy of Theirs TO that Of Mac
Mahon. The Jotuiidi says these are the
letters of Bismarck which are missing.

Yesterdays Developments.

MOBILE, ALA, Oct. S.--The testimony
in the Sumter county case closed yester-
day. The decision of the Commissioners
will probably be rendered tomorrow. The
evidence is very conflicting. Thus far the
witnesses for the prosecution, except one,
have been cOlored. One of the cOlored
witnesses for the prosecution identified
Renfro and Bullock, and swore positively
that they were present at and assisted in
the killing along with twenty or twenty
five others. The witnesses swore that they
were in the road at the time and saw the
killing. Hillman was not identified and
will probably be discharged.
The evidence for RenfrO and Bullock es-
tablishing an alibi is strong. Several par
ties swore positively that they were at their
homes, the nearest nine miles away firm
the scene of the killing. There is dis
crepency about the name of Hillman. He
is called in the affidavit and warrant OF ar
rest William Hillman. but his true name is
Philip A. Hillman. Nothing was proven
by the prosecution as to the previous
threats BY either of the prisoners against
Billings. The prisoners are respectable
looking young men and farmers in Sumter
county.
Inc verdict.
The Commissioner rendered a decision
in the Sumter county case this afternoon,
committing Renfro and Bullock to Jail
without bail, and discharging Hillman.
The Commissioner refused to enter into
the conslitutionality Of the law, and based
his decision IN the fact that while in estab-
ling alibis the cases of Bullock and Renfro
were strong, there was testimony enough
TO Justify cOnmittal. After the decision,
and before it was carried into effect, the
United States District Attorney asked the
Commissioner TO hold Hillman until a new
affidavit, charging him with whipping Will
son Doyle, could be prepared and war
rant issued for his arrest. The Commits
sionsr refused. Subsequently Hillman
told the District Attorney that he would
appear, and gave bail to answer this new
charge.
