 The reports of the Superintendent and Trustees of the State Reform School show that this institution has been especially well managed the past year. The whole number of boys in the school is two hun dred and sixty-four, or the same as last year, the number received and discharged being equal. There has been no death in the school during the last two years, and but very little sickness, which shows it's location to be Q healthy one, and it's sana- tory management not only good, but ex- cellent. The earnings of the boys during the year have been about twelve thousand dollars, and the Superintendent speaks highly of their general demeanor and con- duct.i The school has been in operation long enough to thoroughly test its practical workings, and enable just estimate to be made of the good it has accomplished. The Trustees will ask for an additional appro priation to carry out the original design oi the buildings, and meet the growing wants of the institution. It is question, in m, mind, whether an appropriation to this enc should be granted The real estate con nected with the school has become so grea

The TRUNDLE BED.---The balmiest
sleep we ever experienced was when
we were nesting in the old trundle
bed with curly headed brother just
turned out of the parent nest to make
room for a new customer. But trun-
die bed dreams were soon at an end,
for when the next customer came we
were crowded out of the trundle bed
to make room for the next that was
turned out of the parent nest, aud so
they kept alternating for years, until
we we're fairly turned out into the
world. i--i


O, where are the little heads that
we have kissed a thousand times DER
as they nestled in the trundle bed ?
Some of them have grown old and
gray, and others are resting upon their
everlasting pillow in widely separated

The leading rebel organ of Ala

following significant paragraph:


DISCHARGED. = Within the past
few days large number of negro
employees have been discharged in
city, who, by voting for the negro
constitution directly arrayed them
selves against the whites and their
business interests. Served them right.
The negroes were warned of this in
time, but many of them preferred to
go with the scallawags and carpet
baggers, and against their true friends
and hence many of them are now out
of employment. We are glad to see
that this plan has been generally

their differences by agreeing to a per-

they have not been reconciled, as was

likely to be. It is very certain they

DC, Jackson, N. c.:


GENTLEMEN-Your letter, inviting me to
address a mass meeting in your town on
the 3Oth inst, has been received. I re-
gret that I shall not be able to comply
My time is already disposed of either by
professional or political engagements up to
the day of election.


[ regret my inability to attend with you,
all the more because the recent elections IN
the North have tendency to discourage our
friends and cause relaxation of our efforts.
This greatly needs to be counteracted. l
no not at all regard the election of Sey-
mour and Blair as hopeless, for various
reasons, But even # did, frankly con-
fess that have not been fighting this cam
paign under the impression that our re-
demption was to be attained through the
instrumentality of the national government
Nor have I labored for reform in the gen
eral government. My great aim has been
the regeneration of North Corollna, her
redemption from the grasp of the hungry
vampires who suck her life's blood and
drag down her decent people under the
feet of ignorance and corruption. After
all, this can only be done by our own State
action. 1t is in the power of the Conser-
vative men of the State to work out their
own salvation, let the North vote as it may,
whether Grant be President or Seymour.
Kentucky shook off her shackle5 i'll spite
of the despotism of the national Radical
rule which was upon her. Maryland did
the same, and Georgia is fast accomplish
ing the glorious task. Virginia and Texas
would do so tomorrow, if the bayonet
was Withdrawn from their throats.-
So it would be and aciU be with all of them,
for God has not decreed that the ignorant
African and the renegade whites shall rule
a nobler and superior race longer than the
application of superior physical force and
its attendant decentralization shall maintain
this most unnatural position. If they
would but shake off their fear, there is
nothing whatever to prevent the true men
of North Carolina from carrying the next
election by 10000 majority, without a sim
gle recruit from the ranks of those who
voted for that infamous Constitution last

ocrat1c Party of South Carolina


FELLOW CITIZENS The election for Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States is now close at hand. The great
principles involved in the contest, the
magnitude of the interests at stake, and
the influence which this State may have on
the result, make this Il proper occasion to
lay before you brief address.


The tendency and purpose OF the Radl-
cal party, as manifested in words and acts,
are the absorption Of the individual !; the
destruction of States /; the subversion of
the Constitution, and the erection upon
the ruins of individual and public liberty,
a grand, grinding, consolidated despotlsm,
Already it has made rapid strides IN that
direction. Little, now5 is left to do but
to fuse into one mass, and then crystallze
into permanent form its various acqaisi-
tions of usurped power. Its capricious
acts its wanton cruelties its corrupt
prctices its enormous burdens you have
felt and do know. Against these, and
more than these, you are called upon to
continue resolute fight with the peace
full, though potent, weapon of the ballot
The Democratic party here and everywhere
are striking with you for the principles Of
liberty and the forms of Government to
which we have been accustomed, for a
written Constitution, a Federal Union and
a distinct existence of the States.


Surely, then, the principles of the con-
test are important, and the interest great
Arouse, therefore, to the magnitude of the
emergency and spare no efforts for success
When the time for registration shall come,
let no man fail to appear, and none fail to
vote. Let each one remember that his in
dividual vote may decide the election in
his own district, and that the electoral vote

CHARLESTON, s. O., Oct. 21-Noon.
The &c Daily News" Of this morning, publishes
letter from Wade Hau1dton in reply to a Wis
consin lawyer, who request him in view Of the
wide spread Misrepresentation OF his course, to
define his position as to the Issues, results and
consequences Of the war. lIr. Hampton says
''ihe main issues involved in the were Sc
cession and slavery, the first the primary one, the
latter brought in at & later period. In regard to
these, adopt fully and without reservation, the
principles ammo unced by the late National Con-
vention in Now York, and in the words of the
platform promulgated there, | consider these
squestiOns settled forever l accept this as
the result accomplished by the war, and as its To-
gical and legitimate consequence. This have

by this State in comforting on the negro equal
civil rights with the whio man. More than year
ago, advocated the policy of giving to him as
soon as We had the power to do so legitimately,
suffrage based on qualification. The Democratic
| Convention held Aore in April last, recognized
him as integral part Of the body polite and
declared that it would, when our party came in
| to power, grant him partial suffrage. The State
| Central Club has just reiterate this declaration,
and have no doubt but that this declaration is
sustained by vast majority Of the white citizens
OF the State. They regard the reconstruction
acts as unconstitutional, but do not look for their
overthrow now to violence, but lin the language
of resolution unanimously adopted by the DEM
ocratc party in Convention assembled) to con-
sttutional agencies and peaceful remedies alone.
We invoke decision the constitutionality OF
these acts from the only tribunal competent to
pronounce Oh them, .Lo Supreme Court of the
United States, and we are prepared in good
faith to abide by that decision. 1t may not be in
appropriate there, to correct Misrepresentation
widely spread by Radical papers, in regard to
these acts. 1 have been charged with hay
ing dictated that portion of the Demo-
cratic platform relating to reconstruction. This
charge I have more than once denied, and do
so again most emphatcaliy. The sense IN which
! spoke of the words unconstitutional, revolu-
tionary and void as being my plank in the plat
form, l referred to them as constituting the
plank to which l, as well any other Southern
man, clung for safety"


The letter concludes as follows eff the peo-
pie of the North wish to build up strong and
lasting Union, let them be magnanimous and
generous to the South-let them confde more
fully than they have done to the honor of our
people and they will meet cordial and heartfelt
response. The future destiny of the Republic is
| in the hands of the North, and upon their action
| it depends whether there is ag gain to be Union
based on fraternal feelings. or one held together

This body reassembled in New York Oh
Thursday. The committee on dioceses-
reported IN favor Of concurring with the
House CT Bishops in erecting new diocese
in Western New York. The new diocese is
to be formally established on All Saints
Day, November 1St.


The committee on provincial system re-
ported q canon dividing the church into
six PROVINCES each to be governed by
Primate. The report was accompanied by
resolution referring the matter to a special
committee OF five to prepare a report to the
convention for adoption also providing
that, should the provincial system be agreed
to, the name of the General Convention
shall be changed to that of the General Sy-
nod. The committee of five are also in
structed to draft new constitution for the
national church, which shall be submitted
to the several dioceses for consideration.


The committee on canons, with reference
to the division of dioceses, reported Sc
ries of resolutions providing that hereafter
no new diocese shall be formed within the
limits of any other diocese, unless with the
consent of the Bishop and the general con-
vention ALSO that such consent shall not
be accorded unless satisfactory assurance
be given Of suitable provision for the sup
port Of the episcopate in the contemplated
diocese also, that no city shall form more
than one diocese; also, that no diocese shall
be formed by the junction of two Or more
dioceses.


In case one diocese shall be divided into
two or more dioceses, the Bishop OF the
diocese divided may choose the one to
which he shall be attached, and the assist
ant Bishop, if there be one, may elect the
one to which he will be attached and if it
be not the one elected by the bishop, he
shall be diocesan thereof.

ern oligarchy, forgot his pledges Of neutrality
and became an active slavery propagandist
in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The disruption and dissolution of the old demo-
cratic party began from that hour, and it began
in New York. The crime of that act is written
in all the horrors of the late Southern rebellion,
and the blunder Is recorded in every demo-
cratic defeat from that day to this. But the
elections of 1867 brought some CLEANS ofdemo-
cratic daylight. New York, indeed, with her
fifty thousand democratic majority, came up
with blaze of sunshine. In behalf Of this
majority her leading democratic statesmen and
politicians and the rank and file Of the party
ask for the nomination of Mr.. Chase. Twenty
years ago, in New York and in the Van Buren
free soil movement, as we have shown, he laid
the foundations of the presentre republican party.
That work is done, and to-day, on the new
constitutional foundation of universal liberty
and civil equality, Mr.. Chase is free, and he is
needed to reconstruct the democratic party.
On the basis of the new constitutional amend
ment, which may be regarded fixed fact, he
can restore the democracy to power. On any
other tack and with any other candidate they
are gone.


Our past elections show that New York is q
progressive State and is a power in the land.
Her vote secured is a good basis to build
upon-her vote lost is the loss of the battle to
the democracy. If they would secure it from
the start Chase is their man, and the recogni-
ton of the anti-slavery deluge and its changes

way we are governed. The committee system,
first adopted to facilitate business, is now the

AID is gigantic vice, while by far the worst
part of it is that referred to in the sentence
given above. That Mr.. Chase is opposed to
this system, and that he will probably, If
chosen President, initiate some steps for its
change, will be regarded as the strongest
thing yet said on his behalf as candidate by
all those who desire to see stayed the steadily
downward progress of the nation in all the
evile of corruption.

Chase and the Reform Of Abuses In the


Government.


Mr.. Chase els opposed to the appointment
by Congress Of expensive committees to sit
during the recess, on the ground that Congress
has no power to delegate its authority to indi-
viduals." There Is, perhaps, no other single
fact that is the cause and the means Of 30 much
evil in our government as this one abuse 1t
goes so far and so deep that we may broadly
say the country is not governed by Congress
at all. Congress, recognized in the constitution
as the sole lawmaking power, has abdicated its
Office; and while that body wastes it's time in
jabbering and cackling over party disputes the
business Of session Is either not dcne at all
or it is turned over to committees is, the
power given by the nation to Congress- is by
Congress given again to . coteriesof two or
three men, very eager to serve tho people in
that way because in 80 doing they serve them
selves. This usage is the parent of johbery-
for it is in these committees that the jobbers
make their bargain for the enactment Of q
given law. Every committee becomes the
organ in Congress Of some outside ring. Ir
committee project is reviewed in the hght
that the ring can give for or against IL. Ir
committee the money is spent, and that is ths
scene Of all the bribery that eats away the very
vitality Of our system. II would be an i'm

Although every Southerner Is hostile to negro
suffrage in any shape, and objects to any can
didate who supports that measure as matter
Of principle, yet we find growing tendency
among the masses of the conservatives in the
South to take reasonable view of the political
situation, and if they find that the evil COM
planned of is to be forced upon them whether
they will or no, to make the most of their help
less condition and turn the negro vote as far
as possible to their own interests and advan-
tage. The movement in favor of Chief Justice
Chase, who is said to represent this principle,
meets opposition from extreme men in the
South; but the more considerate take diff
belief that Mr.. Chase is of all men named for
the democratic nomination the best calculated
to carry with him the bulk of the Southern
negro vote. This being conceded, his nomina-
ton is considered advisable for another and
very important reason. With Chase as the cam
could be carried for the democrats which
would otherwise inevitably elect radicals.
This consideration must not for q moment be
lost sight Of if the democrats are sincere in
their opposition to the radicals who now COM
mand Congress and are endeavoring to usurp
the powers Of every department in the govern
ment. The letter we publish to-day from Mr..
G. G. Langdon, touching the policy of nomi-
mating Judge Chase, u.s. no doubt, very candid
and reliable expression of the views of the
leading men in the South who oppose his
nomination.. But we are inclined to think that
the letter of inquiry which drew forth this reply
from Mr.. Langdon strikes the keynote of the
sentiment of the masses of the Southern con-
servatives, and that is in favor of the nomifa
ton of any man who is capable of defeating
Grant and the radicals, with the belief that
Judge Chase is that man, and the only one.
eff Chase is not run we are badly whipped"
is, beyond doubt, prophecy the democracy will
see fulfilled next November unless they choose
Chase as their standard bearer. But New
York started the movement, and she will see
that it is triumphant.

THE. New LOUISIANA LEGISLATURES.
State of Louisiana was blessed yesterday
with Legislature, the first she has had for q
long time. A negro man presided, as Lieu
tenant Governor, over the Senate, and another
negro was elected temporary chairman of the
House. The proceedings in both houses COM
menced with an unusually interesting muddle,
for which General Grant is in great part re-
sponsible. His order suggesting a modiHca-
ton Of the oath Of Office was read, and both
the colored presiding officers treated it with
profound contempt averring that the test
oath prescribed by Congress should alone
rule. As this would leave many of the
democratic members out in the cold an appeal
was taken in the Senate, but the shrewd
Lieutenant Governor decided that until they
took the test oath they could take no appeals
nor make any motions. A similar ruling pre-
vailed in the House, and the two branches were
finally organized, the majority Of the demo-
cratic members Withdrawing It would be
well for General Grant while scouting around
on his Western tour to take New Orleans in on
his route and set himself right with these
