line brought out the whites in full force,
and they worked at the election SIS they
never worked before. The blacks are
dissatisfied, and the origin of the riot
can belsid at their feet. This riot is the
fruit Of Radical teachings, and

leaders positions with them do not

moral courage, VINO add weight and vol

gage and whose conduct in all emergen-

secured, q thousand volunteers would
have been ready to answer the call OF
the distressed. However, four well
armed and organized companies march

were going on the independent plan, TO

from the depot, and were kept ready for
any emergency that might arise in the
city, at their armory, on Second street,
opposite Court square. Various rumors
were in circulation on the streets, that
armed negroes were gathering together
in South Memphis and out on Poplar
street, but the most diligent search failed
to find a single civil-righter on the war

than will be found in our special above.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MRS. S. d. POWER,
OF THE (sOI nRny acE

AN INTERVIEW WITH MRS. s. d. POWER,
OF THE GOLDEN AGE.
From the Chicago Times of Thursday
R.-YOu have, of course, seen the let
ter written by Beecher to Tilton, which
in the opinion Of many persons consti-
tutes the greatest proof Of his guilt.
Mrs. P.-Yes.
R.-You remember there was hiatus
in il?
Mrs. P.-Yes.
R.-COuld you fill it up?
Mrs. P.-I am able 10 do so, and for
that very reason am glad to see you.
1t gives me an opportunity of placing
before the public the most important
point of this whole affair. was in the
GOtttcn Age office at the time that Mr.
Tilton was engaged Ia writing his letter
to DR.. Bacon, in which he quotes the
letter you refer to. 1 saw the whole
thing, and can give you what truly may
be termed 1.-THE missing link"
K.-What is it?
Mrs. P.-Here is a copy of the letter
with short extract from Tilton's own
letter Immediately following.
Here the lady handed the reporter a
newspaper extract, giving
THE LETTER.
II will be Immediately recognized. It
is engraven on the heart of every pro-
Tossing christian in the land:
"BROOKLYN, January l, IS74.-I ask
Theodore piitOn's forgiveness, and hum
ble myself before him as do before my
God. He would have been better man
in my circumstances than I have been.
L can ask nothing except that he Will
remember all the other breasts that
would ache. l will not plead for myself.
1 even wish that 1 were dead. >
"H. W. BEECHER.
"The above extract from Mr.. Beecher's
testimony will be sufficient, without ad-
ducing the remainder of the document,
to show that l have just ground to re-
sist the imputation that / am the crea-
ture OF his msgnanimiIy."
Mrs. Powers proceeded:
The words that should be put in at
Il e close of the letter, where the aster-
isks are used, are, 4 ask has pardon for
Hs greGtegt 1UrOng that one man can
oUgr 10 another. Is not that explicit
enough? Can that be explained on the
score that Beecher had only been guilty
of rendering advice, the result of which
had led 10 family estrangements2"

bonica, a village of Guyamaso, and an
other small place, with nearly forty-fve
thousand rations, were burned by the

RALEIGH.

RALRIGH, N. c., August Large
Democratic gains are reported from
every section. Wake county has gone
largely Democratic by a gain of some
600 votes. The State has gone largely
Democratic, with almost certainty Of
seven out OF eight congressional dis
tricts. The legislature will be largely
Democratic. Great rejoicing and much
enthusiasm prevails among the Con-
servatives. Business is generally sus-
pended, every one being eager to obtain
the latest news.
Democratic gains are reported from
every quarter. The State is Democratic
by ten to twenty thousand. Seven
Democratic congressman out of eight
have been elected. There is also a
Democratic gain in the legislature.
There has been great rejoicing in the
city, public speaking in the streets and
the booming of cannon throughout the
day. This county is Democratic for the
first time in fourteen years.

doing cooperative insurance business,
met in Columbus yesterday to consult
as to their future action in view of the
recent decision Of the attorney general
as to the status Of these organizations.
The meeting resolved to make a contest
to sustain their petition and continue to

Germany agreed, il necessary, to aid in

The returns received to-day from all

The legislature is Conservative 10y q

"Honesty is the best pc licy," unless
you can get about $4,000, and effect
q settlement at 80 per cent.
Honor thy father and thy motnor,
particularly about circus time, when
you don't know where to raise fifty
cents.
Never run in debt when you can
avoid it. 1t il much better to 60
stub!ng around in broadcloth coat
than to be in debt for a suit Of Scotch
mixed.
Let your motto be, "Liberty or
DEATH" and if it comes TO the pinch,
take the most of it in liberty.
Remember the poor. If you know
Of family who are out of provisions
and fuel, keep them in your Thoughts
until you meet Smith or Brown, and
then tell them that they'd better
make donation. If they hold off,
tell them that "He who giveth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord 1t is
very easy to remember the poor
| can remember cases twenty years
ago.
Respect old age. If you have a
maiden aunt forty years old and she
is passing herself off for girl OF
twenty-three, there is no call for you
to expose her. The more you re-
spect her age and keep still about it,
the more she will respect you.
Never marry for wealth, but re-
member that it is just as easy to love
a girl who has brick house with a
Mansard root and silver-pIated door
bell as one who hasn't anything but
an auburn head and an amiable dis
position.
Love thy neighbor as thyself. Bor-
row his plow, hoe, or horses when
ever you can, but if he wants to bor-
row yours tell him that you're very
sorry, but you were going to use
them yourself
Be guarded in your conversation.
There are times when you may free
~ express your opinion of a political
candidate, but you had better wait
until his friends are over to the next
county visiting.
Restrain your temper, particularly
if policeman is in sight. Fits of
anger hasten death. II a man should
cali you a horse-thief and you should
get highly indignant, it would cut
your life short by several days; and |
if it was in Texas, and there was a
