ISLANDER MILL.

The Secretary Of the Radical Con-
gressional committee in Washington
is preparing to circulate large guam
titles of letters received from the
South, giving account of outrages
upon Republicans, white and black.
If there is one thing absolutely sure
so certain that no one can ques>
ton it with good conscience-it is
that violence is much more prevalent
10 the North than 10 the South at
this time that bulIdOziOg, and in
timidation, in connection with the
coming election is practiced more
generally in the North than in the
South, and that, in short, the poor>
est negro in Alabama, or South Car
olina is permitted as fully as the
poor man in Maine or Massachusetts
to exercise his rights as a citizen.
The stories that go North, concern
Jog political Outragee, are often
manufactured out of whole cloth, or
are perversions of such events as are
common in every community. Sen
sible people every where are begiL-
ming to understand this trick Of un,
scrupuIous politicians. The daily
dispatches in the papers, which
show five crimes of violence in the
North, to one in the South material
ly helps to enIighten voters on the
subject.

DIR. FELTON, SHOWS THE WHITE
FEATHER.
lFrom LaFayelle. MessengerD

(From lafayette Messenger)
DIR. FELTON, spoke here on Tues
day to very large crowd A com
mittee Of gentlemen consisting OF
Hon. T G.. Mcfarland, Judge j.
B. Hill ard Capt. F. NJ. Young,
waited on DR.. FELTON,, before the
speaking commenced, to request or
ask if he would divide time with
Hon. j. G. Clements, his opponent.
The Doctor replied that he would
not divide time with him here or
anywhere else.
The Doctor spent about half an
hour, discussing the Rome Conven-
ton. He compated the organized
democracy of this district, to liz .
zard and said the Rome convention
that nominated Hon j. G. Clements,
was its tail, and that it was compos-
ed of set of carpet baggers.
He stated that the independent
movement which he had started here
in the Seventh district, had brought
about all the division in the party in
Georgia, tina. exists at the present
time, and he put in some big hallalu-
iah Hicks over the present division
and strife in the party but failed to
tell the people what good was to be
the final result of it. The remainder
of the time was spent in rehesrs>
ing his record and in begging the
people to come to his rescue once
more.
The people gave him a respectful
and patient hearing, though there
was but little enthusiasm manifested
At the conclusion of the Doctor
speech. loud calls for Clements was
head, from every part of the court
room, and his appearance in the
speakers stand was greeted with
tremendous applause.
Our time and space this week for,
bids even a synopsis of Col. Glenn
ents speech suffice it to say that it
was forcibIe, eloquent, conservative
and winning from first to last, and
we are glad to know. that the people
of the district will soon have an op
portunity to hear him for them-
selves.

A New ENGINE OF DESTRUCTION.
Captain John Ericsson, the veter-
an inventor, is reported to have per
fected bis now torpedo and the
means for propelling it, with accuracy
and force against any target, and the
new proiectile is said to be the most
formidable engine yet invented
against ironclads. It is pretended
that several of these weapons were
recently shipped to Peru to be used
in the warfare of that State with
Chill. Captain kricsson's expert
ments have been made, in part, at
least, under the auspices of the sec>
rotary of the Navy, and they have
so far succeeded that he is now able
to discharge by means Of gunpowder
with reasonable accuracy, torpedo
charged with $50 pounds of dyn. =
mite in such way as to insure it's
explosion against the sides of an
ironclad. It is claimed that there is
no armor plated vessel in the world
that would not be rent to pieces by
the conclusion of such tremendous
charge of dynamite. If this be so,
and this new engine prove to be
manageable, it will be the cause of
as many revolutions in the navies of
the world as were occasioned by the
appearance of the monitor in Hamp>
ton Roads in 1862.

WHAT He Has Nor EXPLAINED.

WHAT He Has Nor EXPLAINED.
According to the Republican tes
,imony Gen. Garfield entered into
negotiations with Cakes Ames,
whereby he received certain num-
Der Of shares Of Creditor Mobiier
stock, which Mr.. Atnes said he al
ways "plsced where it would do most
good" and, according to the same
testimony, Gen Garfield accepted a
"fee" of $4,000 from De Golyer
paving ring to aid them in securing
q contract from the board of public
works of the District of Columbia. -
General Garfield was at the time he
received the "fee" Chairman of the
Committee on appropriations, and
was expected to use bis official 10.
huence to further the interest of the
ring aforesaid. Up to the presen,
time, says the Baltimore Gazette
neither General Garfield nor any of
his friendsGhas voucbsafed to the
public a satisfactory explanation of
these damaging charges against him,
and therefore we are forced to con.
clude that taking one consideration
with another, his lot is not a happy
one.

of The country is not promoted by

real retrenchment in the collection

should be the paramount object OF
national legislation. Such policy
should be adopted as will sllay the
existing bitterness between the sec
tons and remove as rapidly as pos
sbe the present griovous burdens
upon labor and industry. The ex-
isting revenue laws in regrad to to-
bacco and liquor, as they are enforc-
ed, are unjust and oppressive, and
ought to be stricken from the statue
books. The few surviving veterans
of the Mexican and Indian wars
ought to be peusioned. Federal of
