THE SOUTH.
An accessory cause enhancing the distress
in business is to be found in the systematic
and insupportable misgovernment imposed
on the States of the South. Besides the or
binary effects of ignorant and dishonest
Administration, it has inflicted upon them
enormous issues of fraudulent bonds, the
scanty avails of which were wasted or
stolen, and the existence of which is
public discVedit, tending to bankruptcy or
reputation. Taxes, generally oppressive,
in some instances have confscated the en-
tire income Of property, and totally DIES
troyed its d arkctable value. 1t is impossi-
BILE that these evils should not react upon
the prosperity of the whole country.
The nobler motives of humanity concur
with the material interests of all in reOuir-
ing that every obstacle he removed, to a
complete and durable reconciliation be-
tween kindred populations once unuatur
ally estranged, on the basis, recognized by
the St. Louis platform, of the "Constitu-
ton of the lifted States, with its amend
ments universally accepted as a final set
clement of the controversies which engen-
dered civil war"
But, in aid of q result so benehcient, the
moral influence of every good citizen, IA
we'll as every governmental authority,
ought to be eXerted, not alone to maintain
their just equality before the law, but like
wise to establish II cordial fraternity and
good will among citizens, whatever their
race or color, who are now united in the
one destiny of q common self government.
If the duty shall DO assigned to me, shall
not fail to exercise the powers with which

THE NEXT SENATE.

The terms of twenty-six Senators
will expire On the fourth of next March
with the present Congress. and then
SUCCESSORS in most instances will be
chosen by Legislatures elected in the
coming autumn. Of these Senators
sixteen are Republicans, namely: Clay.
ton of Arkansas, Logan of Illinois,
Wright of iowa, Harvey of Kansas,
West of Louisiana, Blaine (Morrill's
successor) of Maine, Boutwell, of Mas
sachusetts, Ferry of Michigan, Alcorn
of Mississippi, Hitchcock of Nebraska,
Cragin of New Hampshire, Freling-
huysen of New Jersey, Anthony of
Rhode Island, Robertson of South Ca
rolina, and Howe of Wisconsin. Nine are
Democrats, namely: Goldthwaite of Ala
bama, salisbury of Delaware, Norwood
of Georgia, Stevenson of Kentucky,
Ransom of North Carolina, Kelly
of Oregon, Cooper of Tennessee, John
ston of Virginia and Davis of West
Virginia. One of these Senators,
Hamilton of Texas, is classed as an
independent. In addition to these the
new State of Colorado. whose political
status is in doubt, will elect two Sena>
tors. and Louisiana will elect a second
Senator to fill the vacancy for which
Pinchback long contended.
Thus there will be twenty-nine seats
to be filed by new men next March.
The present Senate is divided betw. Ell
forty-two Republicans, twenty nine
Democrats and Two Independents,
giving the Republicans majority of
eleven. The next Senate will consist
of seventy-six Senators. If the Dem
ocrats hold their present seats and
elect nine other of the twenty-nine
Senators to be chosen then. with
Democratic Vice President in the
chair, they will control the upper
House of Congress.

The conference committee on the
consular and diplomatic bill has lop-
ped off number of appropriations for
ministers to countries in which we
have no great use for such weighty
functionaries. These countries in-
clude Portugal, Switzerland, Bolivia,
Ecuador. Colombia, Paraguay, Uru-
quay, Greece and Denmark. Charges
d'affaires, however, are provided to
represent us in Portugal, Switzerland,
Greece, Denmark and Paraguay at an
nual salaries of $1,000. A number of
consulates are not provided for and
are practically abolished, but with the
exception of Southampton and per-
haps Venice the country will not be
apt to find much fault with the omis-
sion. Most of the offices discontinued
are practically siuecures, and have
been for years. The bill passed both
houses on Saturday.

The contest this year is between the
people and the amendments on the one
side and the office holders and the
Candy Constitution, as it is, on the
other side. In the war between the
people and the officeholders, we are for
people, and in the war between the
amendments and the accursed Candy
Constitution we are for the amend
ments. and SO are the people. The
peoples rule and the amendments,
that's the ticket for white men, and for
black men too, who are not convicted
thieves and forgers! Be sure to vote
for the amendments.

gave such wide circulation to the erro-
neous and exaggerated statements first
published in regard to the Hamburg
riot that in jnstice to the white people
there, it feels called upon not only to
publish the truth as developed by
sworn testimony before u competent
court, but to make q full and formal
admission of its error. It says:
Reviewing the Aiken testimony we
find that the militia company was cons
fessedly organized to threaten aud in

it's officers and members were Insolent
and riOutous, and buliied the whole

hamburg on the 9th; that the firing
was begun by the negroes, and that
pot a shot WAS fired by the whites until
after young Merrlwether had been
killed by the negroes; that after the
riot the negroes were louder than ever
in their threats against the whites. No
one in South Carolina justities the kill
ing of the negro pris, ners, bnt with
the evidence before them, as We have
briefly given it, the public must admit
that the whites were acting III self de-,
fence in determining to disarm the ne
or es. The armed negroes were a
| standing danger to the whites, whom
the law did not protect. They we're
forced to take such steps as were ne
cessary for the protection of themselves
and their families.
We have been particular in reporting
and analyzing the Aiken testimony,
because We feel that the first accounts
of the Hamburg affair. as published
by the Augusta papers and ourselves,
| were unjust TO the white citizens of
Aiken and Edgefieid, in failing to
| show the measure of the provocation
given them by the armed negroes.
For the attitude of the whites, as the
| evidence now shows, there was good
| reason, if, indeed, the disarmlng of
the negroes was not an ineXOrable he
cessity; and we trust that the news
papers which laid before the public
the statements of the negroes and evil
dence taken at the inquest, will, in

The Boston Post SAWS:

While the President is raging with
the desire to make war upon the South
and while Morton and Logan and
Boutwell, are stirring up old hatreds
by monstrous stories in the Senate,
private advices from the Southern
States, received in the regular course
of business correspondence by mer-
chants in this city, tell of better
state of feeling than has existed for
years. The negroes are contented,
happy and secure in their rights, learn
ing to practice industry and putting
by little. and the relations between
blacks and whites are friendly and
harmonious. This is the testimony of
business men, planters and cotton
dealers. who care little for politics
except as it has practical influence
upon the material prosperity of trade
and production.

WHAT 'THEX THINE& OF HIM IN
asEORdsAAs


The Macon Telegraph and Messe1a-
ye, says:
Tilden is a man of rare mental con-
stitution, and precisely qualified for
the great functions to which he will
probably be called by the people of
the United States. He is a man of
high moral endowments, and will
prove his claim to intellectual mastery
in the political circles of Washington.
He is also learned political school
man-thOronghly versed in the
science of government and the history
and theory. of Republicanism, as we'll
as an accomplished political econo-
mist and statistician.
To these endowments and accom-
plishments he adds the practical accu-
men of the man of affairs. He under
stands men and business. No man can
fool him with garbled accounts, forced
balances and doctOred books. He
combines, in short, the uncommon
qualifications of the scholar and man of
business, with the political leader of
unfiinching integrity-dauntless moral
untiring energy-wealth of
resources and fearlessness of respon-
sibility.
He is just the man needed to unravel
the tangled skein of fraud and misrnle
into ubiob Ra1ioaliarO has hatrava6
the country; and placed at the head
of the government and surrounded by
the ablest counsellors which his iudg-.
ment and sagacity can command, he will
be able to take control and concentrate
all the energies Of the government in
the great work of extrication and re
form. This he was able to do in New
York-and this he will do in Washing

THE LETTERS OF FACCEPrANGE

THE LETTERS OF ACCEPTANGE.
When the letters by which our can
didates announced their acceptance of
the nominations proffered than are
compared with those of Messrs. Hayes
and Wheeler, it seems almost impossi-
BILE that any thinking man can hesi~
tate in his choice of the former as the
proper persons to whom he should
give his vote in November next. In
the letters of Governors Tilden and
Hendricks, there is not only displayed
an intellectual grasp of the subjects
before them; there is manifested an
honesty of intention to faithfully dis
charge any duties that may be i'm
posed upon them; while in those of
their opponents there is apparent An
inability to comprehend the nature
of the problem which they are
desirous of being permitted to
try their skill mt solving, as
we'll as clear statement of
their intention, if elected, to per-
form their work by deputy, and dele
gate their authority to the thieves and
plunderers who are now controlling
the machine. With these alternatives
before us, it surely cannot be difficult
to select. Indeed events show that
the natural effect is being produced.
Our fellow citizens are everywhere
raising their voices in favor of the
candidates, who, they know, can and
will, without fear and favor, enter
upon and proceed with the work of
placing all the affairs of the country
upon the basis of justice and equality.
They recognize in Tilden ,and Hend-
ricks the men who know how to con-
duct the administration, and who will
engage in the undertaking without re-
gard to anything but the public good,
aud these men they intend to support
in the contest now going on.

The Washington correspondents say
that the project of pe"sionIng Presi

dollars or so to spend every year is
seriously considered, notwithstanding
the emphatic denials that have been

Prof. Seelye are members of Congress
| who are said to have promised to speak
| in favor of the proposition, SO that it
would seem to be originally and alto
gether a massachusetts idea. Bat Gen.
Banks is represented as saying that the
suggestion first came from a Demo
crat. who declines to publicly father it
but evidently thinks it would be a
polite move for his party to give a
sop to Cerberus. There may be
something of seriousne ss III the matter,
says the st. Louis Repudlica1a, view
| ed i'll that light, after all. "Con-
sidering how much good Ulysses could
do the Democratic cause just now by
| keeping up the work which he began
| by dismissing Bristow, Jewell, Wilson,
Pratt aud Yaryan, it might turn ont a
strong card. if the promise of pen
sion would induce him to pardon all
the whiskey thieves and kick out what
honest men still remain in office to
m Ike pleasant berths for the ring
crowd. Then it would De a very good
thing to have His Excellency disposed
to smnoth the way to the White

comes to take possession. He can give

sion for our only living President.
If our st. Louis contemporary had
received his recent message about the
River and Harbor bill, its zeal in the
advocacy of Grants pension wonld
have been increased four fold-indeed
to men of suspicious minds it would
have seemed as if the bargain had al
ready been made and that Grant was
doing his very best to earn his money.
Certainly the Radical party cannot stand
many such blows. The mississippi
message was a staggerer and now
comes in rapid succession the River
and Harbor bill message. Grant is a
dangerous man-to the Radical party !!
Wilmington journal., 1876-08-18

With the adjournment of Congress,
which, as our readers know, took place
on Tuesday evening, the Presidential
campaign will open with great vigor
throughout the whole country. Or
dinarily it is relief when our Legis-
latures, National or State, adjourn and
their members return home to give an
account of their craftsmanship to their
constituents. The present campaign,
however, proves an exception to the
general rule. The searching course
of investigation, retrenchment and
reform so vigorously entered upon and
so laboriously followed up by the
present Democratic House of Repre-.
seutatives at Washington has from time
to time been so fruitful in substantial
results that the announcement of even
temporary cessation from the good
work will be received by the people
with regret. A saving of $50, 900, 900 in
oneyear's expenditure and the exposure
tions that have made the Washington
government reproach and shame to
the country, constitute a record of
which any party may be proud. The
issue is now squarely presented to the
people everywhere and so plainly that
no man may hesitate for moment
which party to choose, who desires an
honest and economical government,
honestly and economically admins
tered. It was the Radical party that
fostered and encouraged the growth of
personal and official corruption and
extravaganza and it is the Democratic
party that is cutting it up by the roots.
Which will ye choose, people of North
Carolina
