As TO the malicious charges brought
against Gen. NJ. q. Butler, Of Edge
field county, by the Northern press.
to the effect that he is an assassin"
and murderer. " and urged the destruc-
ton of the negroes at Hamburg, they
are refuted by no less an authority
than Judge T. j. Mackay, one of the
most prominent Republicans of South
Carolina. He said, at a Hayes and
Wheeler ratification meeting on Aug.
2, at Rock Hill, s. c.:
cannot concur with the speaker
who has addressed you in denouncing
Gen. M. G. Butler as the author, or in
any degree the promoter, of that great
crime. have considered all the evil
dence thus far disclosed upon the sub
ject; | have conversed with Repub-
licans of both races who were In or
near Hamburg at the time of the mas
sacre, and while they all believe that
General Butler was one of the guilty
parties to the deed of blood, such be-
lief or conclusion on their part is not
supported by any testimony which
would not be instantly consumed to
ashes under the rays of judicial test.
AS to the parties who are alleged to
have shot several negroes after the
company had surrendered, none are
more desirous that they shall be brought
to justice than the Democratic citizens
of South Carolina. The shooting of
these men was certainly quite as law
less an act as the killing of the Thiel.
burg brothers at Newark, N. J., not
long ago, without due process of law.
That act was commended by the New
York Tribune.-Comier- Journal.

WHEN Mr.. Tilden was elected gov.
ernor of the State of New York in
1874, the New York Times, which as
serts to-day that the country will &c
to the devil unless Hayes and Wheeler
are elected, remarked the morning af-
ter the election:
"The great and signal defeats ol
yesterday virtually began last year
The panic did much to injure the Re.
publican party, but the effects of thai
disaster might have been greatly les
sened had wise course been adopted
by Congress IN relation to the finan'
cos \
The mismanagement of the treas,
ury, the Sanborn frauds, and the gen,
eral series of blunders in nearly al
the public departments, were in the
meantime causing incalculable mis-.
chief. The first two nominations fol
chief justice were shocking blunders
and disgusted the whole people.
For the sake of the country it il
to be hoped that the Democrats will
use their victory in spirit Of modera
'tion and prudent craftsmanship. w
doubtless see to-day the Democratic
presidential candidate for 1876, and j
the Republican party is not conducted
with greater wisdom and good fortun,
during the next two years than it haj
been during the last two, Mr.. TildeI
is the most probable successor of Gen
eral Grant"

The Mississinni RenOrts.

The necessity of a powerful body OF
independent citizens, not governed in
their judgments by care for the for
tunes of either political party, is most
forcibly illustrated by the reports in
regard to affairs in Mississippi. The
honorable gentlemen who sign these
reports do not lie. 1t may fairly be
presumed that on both sides they
mean to tell the truth, though not,
possibly, the whole truth. Yet the
opposing statements are so sharply
contradictory that somebody has evi-
IDENTIFY failed most lamentably in that
endeavor. The Republican report,
for example, states that Gov. Ames
was a man of personal integrity and an
ahl0 civil magistrate, whose fitness
was admitted by his political oppo-
nents." We need not search Demo
cratic documents or speeches to dis
cover that this assertion is at war with
facts. Whatever Mr.. Ames may be in
fact, it is certain that in the opinion
of Democrats generally, and of many
Republicans, he was an exceedingly
unfit man for the duties intrusted to
him. Like contradictions face us al
every step.-Neao York Tribune, dug

There has been a good deal of talk
in this county in relation to a war in
cident in which Gov. Hayes is a party,
in which it seems the Governor got
S4O0 belonging to a soldier that was
executed for desertion. The following
letter will explain the matter;
HARTFORD CRY, WEST VA, June
26, 1876.-In the last issue of the Point
Pleasant Weekly Register, the editor
asks of us an explanation in relation
to some money with which Gov Hayes
had to do. l am glad an opportunity
has been afforded me ofgiving state
ment of this war incident, from the
fact that both myself and also Gen.
Hayes have been maligned and mis-
represented in the matter. The fol-
lowing are the facts: In the summer
of 1864 our brigade, commanded by
Gen. Hayes, was ordered to Monocacy
junction. in Maryland, and while lyiny
there soldier belonging TO the Twen-
ty-third Ohio was tried for desertion
and condemned to be shot. l was
then the Chaplain of the Thirteenth
West Virginia Regiment, and the only
one In the brigade. This unfortunate
man wanted to see a chaplain before
he was executed. / was sent for, and
had some conversation with him in re-
lation to the condition of his mind,
etc. He then told me he had some $400
in money and two watches, which he
wanted to leave with me. He said he
had no friends in the world that he knew
of, except mother, and that she was
somewhere in Virginia, but did not
know where, and ii I could find her
out to send the money and watches to
her, and if not, to keep it myself.
The man was shot, and Immediately
after the thing was over, Gen. Hayes
sent for me to come to his head-quar-
ters. [ reported. He inquired of me
what the man gave me. / told him.
He examined the watches and gave
them back to me, and the money he
said he had decided belonged to the
and / gave it to him. As
to what he did with it | am not pre-
pared to say, but the above are the
Iacts, and If the editor of the Register
wishes to know the further history of
the money he must interview the Gov
ernor himself.

COLORED LIFE IN GEORGIA.
Visit Of African Sunday Schools to
Hon. Aleck Stephens.


! The colored Sunday Schools ofCraw
fordsville. Ca. on occasion of a recen
celebration, paid visit to the Hon. A
H. Stephens, which is thus described
by Savannah correspondent of tn,
Baltimore Sun:
Their neat and orderly appearance
with Sunday clothes and simple ban
ners, not only gratified Mr.. Stephens
but, as he said that night on his bed
enraptured him. When the whole
chorus was over the young leader on
the steps called out in the name
OF the multitude for an address
from him. Though having known him
since my boy-hood, and heard him
speak on many, very many occasions,
l have never seen him under the in-
| tiuence of such intense feeling. He
leaned from his chair, with his arms
resting over the railing, and nothing
but his physical weakness prevented
his making what would otherwise have
been perhaps as eloquent a speech as
he ever made. Even as it was, his
voice, to the astonishment of his at
tendants, rang out under the inspira-
-tion of his feelings so that it could be
heard in the village, nearly half mile
distant. He spoke of his profound
qualification at the development which
this days exhibition evidenced the
colored people, especially in his neigh
borhood, in the minds of the cordial
relations of the two races were max
ing. lie never appeared to us all so
wise, so earnest, so gentle, as he spoke
to this multitude of their duties in ed
ucating their children to Just
understanding of all the behests of
their new condition. He looked as If
he would have .wept because he was
not strong enough to say more of the
things of which his heart was full to
overtiowing, and he ceased only when
he became utterly unable to speak
longer. We called for several songs
from the separate schools when their
own programme had been finished, af-
ter the singing of which, when the sun
was nearly down, they filed back again
and shook the feeble hand of their
host as they retired. Though he had
been listening to them several hours, and
though he had been exhausted by the
talk he had given them, yet he seemed
reluctant to see them depart. That
night on his bed, before preparing for
sleep, he said that no exhibition on
that anniversary had ever gratified him
as much, and that if such had been
the will of God he would have almost
wished that he could have died while
listening to that music which of all he
had ever heard was the most enraptur-
ing. And then he spoke of the gem
orally good condition of the negroes
In that section, where many OF them
own snug little farms and other prop
erty, and between whom and their
white neighbors the most friendly re-
lations obtain. Though he said moth
ing of their attachment to him or his
services to them, yet it is very plain
and is delightful to see the thousands
of negroes in that section look up to
him as their greatest and best earthly
friend, and that his influence upon
them has been benign to degree that
is wonderful.

Concerning Harris.

At the head of our editorial columns
will be found the Democratic electoral
ticket selected by the State Convention,
except few vacancies to be filled
hereafter by district conventions.
The electors for the State at large
are Gen. William b. Bate and ex-
Governor Isham g. Harris. Con-
cerning Gen. Bate we have frequently
expressed our opinion, and our read
ers know very well what the Herald
thinks of him. We desire here to
speak more particularly of Gov. Har-
ris-especially for the reason that
some Democrats, for whose opinions
we have great respect, doubt the ex-
pediency of putting him on the ticket.
The readers of the Herald are we'll
aware that, In the past we have not
been partial to Isham Ct. Harris, and
that, when. occasion served, we have
said some words concerning him
which were not altogether laudatory.
For this reason we shall not be OBJ
noxious to the charge of insineerity
when we declare our belief that, in
the present coDjuncture of affairs. his
nomination was one eminently fit to
be made, and our hearty pleasure at
seeing his name upon the ticket. We
have never questioned the purity of
Gov. Harris's political purposes, nor
doubted his preeminent intellectual
ability. His name, it is true, has
gained an unsavoTy odor in the nos
trils of those who believed and believe
that rebellion" was treason and
''rebels" traitors and he has, in con-
sequence, with self-abnegation which
docs him infinite honor, sedulously re-
Trained from pressing his claims upon
the party since the war, and gracefully
yielded to the judgment of those of his
acknowledgements who thought his
political preferment injudiciOus. We
fail to see, however, that we have
gained in any sort by playing policy"
so long-and we emphatically decline
to believe that there can be advantage
to the Democracy in further denying
ourselves the service of the trained
mind and colossal brain of Isham g.
Harris. His labors in behalf of the
Confederacy were, assuredly, Jealous
and valuable; but he did no more
than the rest of us, opportunity and
ability considered--and he has "ac-
cepted the situation" with sincerity
which can leave no room for doubt of
his thorough loyalty and patriotism.
In short, Isham G.. Harris qoas a rep
resentative "rebel;" he is represen-
tatiye Tennessee Democrat-and it is
right and proper that he should have
a leading place upon our electoral
ticket. Concerning some of the dis
trict electors we shall have some words
to say at more convenient season.

Gov. MoRToN's friend have com
planned loudly of the partisan bitter
ness that has exposed the vices of his
private life and named them as the
cause Of his physical decrepitude. He
himself displayed a more inhuman
bitterness, and uttered fouler taint
in his indianapolis speech the other
night, when he spoke Of Tilden aud
Hendricks as childless men, "the last
of their line, leaving no progeny to in
herit their weaknesses." Senator
Morton knew when he said this that
the whole life of Gov. Hendricks aud
his wife has been clOuded for many
years by the death of their only child.
