THE BLOODY SHIRT.

A Southern Republicans OpinIon on
 the Real Necessity For Recognizing
 she State of Affairs In the South.
 A gentleman from South Carolina, who has been visiting friends in this city the past few days, expressed himself very decid- edly about the question of waving the 'bloody shirt" to reporter of the Morning Journal and Courier yesterday. According to his testimony there is no harm in such dis- eussions and he thinks that only by clear recognition on the part of the citizens of the North about the real state of affairs will the people of the South ever find there is through out the South 6 widespread determination and expectation among the so called "Brig- sdiers"to to get control of the government through the Democratic party of the North. by Northern Democrats, but it has firm hold upon the common people of the South.
 The stories about "bulldozing" and mis- counting are not, by any means, exsggerst- ed, and in his own State there is little use for Republican voting, for, although they may not be disturbed in many places in their right of franchise. the hope of the bal lots being counted fairly is very weak, and for that reason many remain away, who would otherwise vote the Republican ticket.
 The negroes are the ones who are psrticu- larly imposed upon, though the politicians make 1t as unpleasant for the white Republi- cans as they can, but in the case of the color ed men hundreds of them dare not show themselves at the polls in many quarters of the State.
 The gentlemen has been present at several recent political demonstrations in this city and has heard the criticisms on "waving the bloody shirt, 1" and 1t was these remarks that led him to speak of the real cause of the opinions held by eminent men who are in @ tn ha ok nE aff afp throughout the South.
 He hopes that the Republicans will con- tinue to wave the bloody shirt if it will be the means of informing the people at large of the true state of feeling at the South, where in many places there is that same hostility to our institutions that existed before the war with the added desire for revenge in the breasts of great many. The South is re- covering it's old time spirit and seeks to run the country as it did before the war, and especially so now that there are so many rebel brigadiers in Congress. The gentleman added that a Republican in the South had to be mighty careful how he expressed his true political sentiments.

GRAND OPERA HousE-


 Manager Bunnell presents strong bill for next week, commencing on Monday evening and during the whole week, with matinees Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The Kernells' new company will appear. This organization is composed of the best speciality fartists and comedians selected from the leading vaudeville theaters of Eu- rope and America, among others, who will appear, are Fred Haber and Kitty Allyne, Miss Lillie Selbini and the Darrows, the Australian musical clowns.
 DIxEY.
 Henry E. Dixey, the king of burlesquers, will be at the Hyperion tonight and to-mor- row. The sale of seats has been enormous. He will receive rousing reception. He will play ,'Adonis," surrounded by about fifty burlesque artists and magnificent costumes and scenery. The New York Tribune says: "Mr. Dixey is not only a thorough artist, but nature has kindly endowed him with advan- tages which are more than satisfying in themselves. Seldom is it that New York audience is vouchsafed an entire evening of hilarious delight unmarred by @ single coarse allusion or offensive jokes, and for this we offer Mir. Dixey our heartfelt thanks. His popularity is easily understood. With all his fun and inexhaustible humor, there is 8 ease and refinement which have doubtless done much toward his immense success. A frank, handsome face and winning smile are no serious drawbacks either, and as for Mir. Dixeys legs, they are 8 delight to the eye. His limitations of Irving is the funniest thing we have ever seen. Nothing could be fun nier, and yet exactly like Irving, only little more so. We are inclined to suspect that MT. Irving himself does not realize how funny he is. MT. William Gill is the author of the play, which purports to be fPerversion of Common Sense.' It contains many original features, and the dialogue is bright and full of good points. With MT. Dixey and the play together, the result is an exceptionally good performance, sure to enliven, entertain and drive away the blues"
 ELI PERKINS.
 As a humorous and philosophical lecturer, Eli Perkins stands unequalled. The Trib- une thus speaks of his new lecture, "The Philosophy of Art and Humor: @sMr. Per- kins separates wit from humor and shows that while humor is the plain and faithful portrayal of the truth, wit is higher and more admirable, as it is the blossom of hu- nor through the creative genius of the miad. In his wood pictures MT. Perkins is vivid and true, and in his mirth-provoking cli- maxes he has no superior" Eli Perkins, lectures on Saturday evening, November Sd, in the First Presbyterian church. Reserved seats for sale at McIntosh's card store, 168 Orange street.

 Commencing on Monday next, and during the whole week, the Kernells company will occupy the stage at the Grand. It is a first class novelty company, containing artists from the theaters of Europe and~America.
