Congressman were trying to be re-
elected by the general ticket sys-
tem," Confederate Congressman
Foote and Col. Savage spoke
from the balcony of the La
mar House. Said the Hayes eIec-
tor: 4 have three noble sons in the
Confederate army, and, not unmind
ful of the future wants of the coun-
try, Mrs. f. on the day of the bat
tie Of Malvern Hill, gave birth to
another son, wlo eighteen years
hence, will be able to shoulder his
musket in defense Of the Confeder-
acy. while my opponent, Col. Saw
age, has done nothing-he hasn't
even married" So says a report
of that discussion. So the great
Republican champion was not only
serving the Confedcracy himself,
but was raising up young men for
its defense.-RnOrville Tribune.
A correspondent of the New Or
leans Times writes about the great
Democrtic jubilee at Raym md, last
week, of the colored club In fact,
our colored reformers, dressed up
in uniform, make more show and
exhibit more enthusiasm than the
whites. This company numbers
nearly two hundred, and have en-
tered the canvass with a determi
nation to enlist every colored man
in the neighborhood, and here l
would state it is no trouble to get
the colored people to enlist in our
ranks now. We have convinced
them by the good government CIV
en- them for the past six months
we are their best friends. Tell
Senator Morton to look oat for an
increased majority for Tilden and
Hendricks next November. We
will see Alabama give its 10000
majority, and go 10000 better.
The Neao Southern Error in com
menting upon the action of the late
State Convention of its party very
plainly expresses its disgust at the
cowardice of the party convention.
OF the failure of the convention to
make nomination for Governor it
says:
"But it is now over, and perhaps
unwise to give any utterance for re
grets. We advise our friends
here who favored a nomination to
swallow their chagrin at once and
10 accept the behest OF the canven-
ton. If.the race for Governor is
confined to Porter and Thomas,
Republicans would be compelled to
support the former. Not to do so
would be a base denial of ther par
ty creed"
The Near Southern Error, the par
ty organ, in commenting upon the
late Iamented Republican State
Convention, says:
e'There were too many mana
gers in the convention, and too few
clear-headed, un-partisan, honest
business men. Finesse and trick
cry ruled the ascendent. The con.
vention was controlled by a certain
gentleman, and really in his inter

} secuted Henry Clay's declaration

e The Southern correspondent o
S the Cincinnati Commercial makes thi
], estimate of the political prospec
in his section: "In conclusion, look
j ing back over the whole Southern
field, we find that the Democrat
f viii in all probability make a gai

o New York Sun: Mr.. Carl Schur
n has made Hayes speech in Obi
o but his talk is that of man on til
ii defensive, and feeling the need {
il fortifying his position. How coul
l. it be otherwise? He is engaged
t. eating his own words; and, beside
N he CARRIES on his back Grant, be
KNAPP, Robeson, Babcock, William
at Boss Shepherd, and the whole ere
n Of Grantism, and the weight
E. heavy. Mr.. Schurz has got himse
y, in a false position.
New Orleans Times: We are so
