sOLACE FOR THE SOUTH.

Colonel MOsby on the Proposed Peace
and Reconstruction COnvention-No
Rehabilitation Perfect without the
Help of Southern Hands-The Civil
Rights Bill-The Third Term.
WASHINGTON, Sept H. 1874.
Meeting Colonel Mosby lew days ago the con.
versation turned upon the financial condition OF
the Southern States and the remedy for the exist
ing troubles. He carefully read the HERALD's call
Tor national convention OF peace and recon-
struction, and said he most heartily indorsed
every sentiment expressed in the HERALD OF the
4th as well as IN subsequent articles on the same
subject But the remedy prop0sed-oi calling
convention-did not appear practicable to him.
While he believed 1t would be wise for representa-
tive men Of the South to come together and declare
to the country determination to laber
for the work Of perfect reconstruction,
without regard TO past prejudices, yet
he did not see that even that would
work any radical change in the condition or man.
agement OF affairs in the worst localities. And in
this regard Colonel Mosby may be justly called q
representative man. Hts career during the war,
his adherence to old Southern customs and his
zeal for the Improvement OF the Southern States
make him competent judge In the considera-
ton Of subject of SO much interest to the South
ern section OF the country. There are two ele-
ments.n said the Colonel, ''constantly warning
against the peace and prosperity OF the South.
The first s a relic Of the war-a determination not
to accept the situation and conform to the exist
ing condition OF aiiairs-and the other Is result
OF the war-the Introduction OF the carpet-bag
politician, whose only claim for ONCE was his 10y
atty and who accepted political trusts for which
he was in no way fitted. lt would be difiicult to
say which OF the two classes has hindered most
the perfect reconstruction OF the South"
"You believe, then, that 1t would have been the
better policy If men OF the stamp OF Longstreet
and Orr had made terms with the administration
1t the beginning of Grants first terms"
SOUTHERN RADICALS
''It would have been decidedly better; but the
majority OF Southern men do not like TO be charged
with Inconsistency and have refused TO recognize
the fact that the rebellion Is dead and with II
slavery too. The HERALD asks-"Can we really
reconstruct the southern States without the aid
OF the real sous OF the Southr'
'.No, sir, without their aid 1t never VIII
be DONE But how can that aid be Sc
secured9 Take my own case Tor instance. My
ginians, out what call the radical follow
ers OF the republican party. They hate me
with heartiness that Is enough to dis
gust my neighbors with that party. The cause
Is simply the Presidents friendship toward me,
and that Is based, not on personal grounds, but
thing as solid reconstruction unless the Southern
people themselves help to make 1t permanent.
Extend my case and you will see that the southern
people have but little to encourage them The

The Henderson Tragedy in a New Light
Doubt Thrown Upon the Wife's story.
CONCORD STATION, Pa, Sept. o. 1874.
Additional ac.s in regard to the Henderson case
have just come out An old doctor, who examined
the wounds in the mans head and the plan of the
house, has come to the conclusion that Mr.. Hen
derson was struck, while sitting at the dinner
table, from behind by blows from an axe. as the
wound is very shallow toward the fore part of the
head and very deep In the back portion. thus
showing that the womans story OF striking
MIN Whle SIanulnR up Is lncredlDe. The other
wound was evidently made when the man. sur
prlsed at the fierce blow, turned his head the axe
striking him q little above the ear, across the
other wound. The man fell to the floor, and the
woman scared at what she had done, ran to the
woods and thence TO the house OF Squire Gary.
The man Is still alive, although the brains exude
in horrible manner There Is no doubt felt here
OF the woman's guilt, and 1t Will probably go hard
with her.

New York were thus enabled to travel in fast

for Boston. The slow lines have, consequently,
withdrawn from the agreement and competition

taken on some lines at three guineas.

THE BLUES AND GRAYS.

An Organization to Foster Kindly Rela-
tions Between the Soldiers of the Late
War.
vIcKsBURG, MISS, Sept. IL. 1874
Several days ago a call for meeting Of former
soldiers OF the Union and Confederate armies was
published stating that the purpose was TO foster
and encourage kindly relations between the SOL
diers Of the late war and to form bond OF mutual
friendship and good feeling. Several preliminary
meetings held were attended by representatives
OF both armies, those OF the Union army residents
OF this city being nearly equal in numbers to those
OF the Confederate army.
At the meeting last night the body formed itself
into an association to be known as the "Order OF
Blues and Grays." Speeches were delivered in
dicative OF the utmost good feeling and relief ut
this pubic acknowledgment OF a break In the
dark cloud OF prejudice which has been depressing

TEE PALMETTO STATE.

Distribution OF TroOps-The Movement
Regarded as Political-The Nomina-
tion Of Chamberlain PrObable-The
Taxpa ayers.
COLUMBIA, 8. G., Sept. II, 1874.
Troops are In process OF distribution to various
points in the State. No disturbances, however,
are reported, and both the officers of the army
and the coored people regard the move
ment as political and practically unneces-
sary. Strong speeches have been made
in the State Convention to-day by negro
delegates iavOring an honest government, but
1t Is probable Chamberlain, the candidate OF
Patterson and the Custom House ring, will be the
choice. The taxpayers are also In convention,
wiling to accept any honest republican named by
the other SIDE. II any conservative candidate Is
named after the failure OF the conservative
negroes to select a man, General Kersbaw will
doubtless be the nominee.
Money from New York has been telegraphed for
by prominent republicans to aid In securing the
success of the ring. The fight is purely between
the natives ana carpet.baRgers OF both races.
