SPEECH OF PARKE GoDwIS.-We
commend to the attention of our readers
the able speech of this gentleman, an alb
stract of which will be found upon the first
page. Mr.. Goodwin is liberal republican
who las been driven by the infamous re-
cord Of the existing radical government,
to the support of Tilden and Hendricks
rather than Hayes and Wheeler. He
gives his reasons for his preference, and
they are commended to the special con :
alteration Of intelligent libcral-minded re :
publicans, if there be any such among our
readers. The unreasoning, out-and-out
partizan, attaches but little weight or i'm
portance to the most cogent arguments
against the policy of his party. Upon
such, the arguments of Mr.. Goodwin, and
all other arguments, are thrown away.
They are controlled by blind, unrcason-
ing party spirit, just such as was so earn
estly denounced by the Father of his
country in his ever-msmorable farewe Il
address. But, happily for the country,
parties are not altogether made up Of this
class Of blind party zealots, and to the
mon Of broader scope Of intellectual
vision, less circumscribed by the narrow
and bitter prejudices Of the mere partizan
these arguments Of Mr.. Goodwin are com,
mended, with the conviction that they

Grants Incendiary Proclamation.

1t is to be hoped, and we are glad to be.
heve that it is to be expected, that the citizens
of South Carolina who have borne themselves
SO patiently and so bravely under the atroci.
GUS wrongs and injuries heaped upon them
bytheir local oppressors, will not fail in their
duty to themselves and to their country now.
The monstrous proclamation issued to. day by
President Grant and the order accompanying
it, which practically declares war against a
State at peace within the Union, is a blow
struck, indeed, directly atthe people of South
Carolina struggling to emancipate themselves
from despotism Of r0gues and ruffians But
it is blow aimed at the people of the whole
country who are on the point of making all
such usurpations and outrages at once and
forever impossible by driving from place and
power the INSCRIPTIONS and lawless Admin.
istration by favor and in aid of which they have
been planned and perpetrated The procla.
nation of President Grant and the order of
his Secretary. at War give plain warning to
thoughtful and conservative men of all parties
throughout the North and the West that moth.
ing whatever, neither the lives and liberties
OF American citizens, nor the principles of
the Constitution, nor the explicit law Of the
land, nor the decisions of the grea: tribunal
which stands between all the interests of
oONitty auu NOTSG Lnln south
American anarchy, will be for one moment
weighed in the balance by the men who rule
this country to- day against the perpetuation
OF their power. Il is to all intents and pur.
poses, and in the strctest meaning of the
phrase, an incendiary proclamation. IL isan
attack upon the credit Of the nation, and an
open announcement to the world of the failure
OF our institutions. To meet and repel this
attack is the instant duty of every oood o;,;
zen in every State of the Union; and the way
TO thus duty lies open peacefully before every
good citizen to-day.
There IS no need Of words in such n case
Words will come indeed, hot and STRONG. N
the lips of all freemen who know their RIGHTS
and understand the tenure and conditions bv
which alone they hold them. But the true'
finai and overwhelming answer TO this brazen
defiance Of liberty and of the law must he
given at the polls on the seventh day Of No.
vember next, and to this end it bebooyes
every citizen of New York who reads this
proclamation this morning to see to il that
his name is registered duly and exactly on
the voting lists of the metropolis before the
sun goes down tonight. Let the citizens Of
South Carolina possess their souls vet little
while in patience, we repeat, and the upris.
ing of the North will bring to them and to all
the land ere month has passed such a de.
llyerance as the sword never yet wrought out
for any people, and upon their enemies and
the enemies Of Republican freedom such
chastisement as the sword never vet inflicted

FOR CONGRESS,
CHARLES B. ROBERTS.
The Plot Thioksning.

If any thing were wanting to show the
utterly debased character of the present
Administration, Tan, Grant and Cameron,
have furnished it by levying war upon
South Carolina. 1t is nothing less than
foul and incendiary conspiracy against
the peace of the country for political effect.
Gov. Chamberlain sees that Hampton is
likely to beat him, and he and Patterson
rush to Washington to call to their aid
tho army Of tho United States, aud their
co.conspiratOrs in Washington join them
selves to the plot, lying proclamation is
written out by Attorney General Taft, the
sign manual of the President is affixed to
Il, and the Secretary Of War issues his
order to the Commander-in-C Chief Of the
Army accordingly. A baser outrage was
never attempted upon free people, and
that it is done under semblance Of law
only heightens the turpitudo of the crime.
No act viii be committed in South Caro-
lima in opposition to this more than C@sa-
rean ukase of our republican President.
Every consideration prompts her respecta-
bic citizens to order aud obedience to the
law, but let Grant, Taft, Cameron and the
rest, be held to the strictest accountable
ty in the Courts for any wrong done to
the humblest citizen. The Republican
party, with here and there an honorable
exception, will sanction this act of basest
despotism, as matter Of course, but let
it inspire the heart Of every Democrat in
the land and Of every friend of free
ballot, to work as he never worked before,
10 overthrow the political domination which
now curses this country, and which is TO-
day the foulest blot upon her fair escutch-
con in this centennial year of her exis-
tence. The tyranny of the mother coun.
try which our fathers so successfully re.
sisted a hundred years ago, was as nothing
to that which is inflicted upon the country
to-day, in the name Of liberty and law
40 liberty, what crimes are committed in
thy name, /" was truthfully said on a me
morable occasion in another land, and this
black chapter in our own history aford'
fresh evidence Of its truth.

Tn. Eve of a Great War

The latest foreign news leaves small
doubt that Europe is on the eve Of great
war, The Pal Mall Gazette, which Is an
exceedingly cautious aud conservative
journal, and which has strongly condemned
what it has styled the alarmist tendencies
of the Times, at last declares that Russia
is at present actually at war with Turkey,
and any further efforts at diplomacy are
useless" There is a panic on the London
exchange and the securities of European
nations tumbled in value, while those OF
our government were only increased in
value and desirableness. Russia Is mobi-
lizing her troops and has concluded ar
rangements with the railways for their
rapid transportation. The war feeling Is
strong in Russia and Turkey, and the di-
plomatic agents of other countries express
the belief that collision is inevitable,
From this review of the tenor of the latest
advices it may be seen that the aspect OF
European affairs is decidedly warlikc.-

Death Of Francis P. Blair,


This venerable journalist and political n
died at his residence, Silver Springs,
Montgomery county, Nd, on Wednesday
last, in the 87th year of his age. MI.
Blair was born in Washington county, Va,
April II, 1871, and graduated at Transyl-
vauia University, Ky. He studied law,
but from ill-health and weakness Of voice
never engaged in the practice. Early a
politician, he was friend of Mr.. Clay,
aud supported him for the presidency 10
1924, but was separated from him after
he gave his vote for j. Q. Adams and en-
tered the Adams administration. An ar
ticle written by Mr.. Blair in X entucky
newspaper upon the notification move
ment, in the first year Of Gen. jackson s
administration, attracted the attention of
the President, who invited him, though he
was personally unknown to the President.
to remove to Washington and become the
editor Of Democratic journal to be estab
lished there. Under Mr.. Blair's auspices
the publication Of the Globe was commenc-
ed November, 1880 and continued until
Che accession Of Mr.. Polk to the presiden-
cy, in March, 1916, who required him to
sell that journal to Mr.. Thos. Richie, on
the ground that the change was necessary
to the harmony Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Blair then retired to Silver Spring,
where he has since resided. In the pres
idential election of 1913 he withdrew
from the Democratic party and supported
Mr., Van Buren, and the Wilmot proyiso.
After the repeal Of the Missouri compro-
mise he took prominent part in the
organization Of the Republican party, with
which he continued to act up 70 the close
Of the war, since which he has not figured
in politics. Mr.. Blair was an astute and
wcll-posted politician, and whilst editor of
the Globe welded large influence with
his party.
