Newspaper Page TextThc New Party~l?ettcr from Mr. Grucshccli, ol" Ohio. ClNClXXATI, May 5,1S73. MY DEAS SIR: I Haw your letter of April 23, and should have answered it sooner, and have no sufficient apology for not doing so. Permit me lo say that the reply I have to make to it is not tor pub lication, but personal to yourself and those afc whose suggestion you lui ve writ ten. I believe the historical Democratic organization is spoiled. Blundering <on stantly during the last ten years, and shattered by many def ats, it surrenden d finally at the last Presidential election. It cannot recall that surrender, or the con cessions then made, and it hus no longer strength enough for victory in this ex tremity;. It \vill likewise lay aside tin old organization and enter into a new one. The organization should accept the re suits of the war, as was done at Balti more, and it should accept them in good faith, and so as to command the confidence of the people. Thc recognition should be something more than a recast of the old one. There should be no exclusiveness about it, nor should it be merely Demo cratic. It should be made up o'f present Democrats, and of all Republicans who are offended bv the policy and tendency of the present Administration. The new organ ization should be the joint work of Demo crats and Republicans, and both should be equally at home in it-neither the guest of the other. You ask. what should be its name? Call it the Liberal Demo cracy ; that will mean the free, unselfish government of the people : and now, tis to its doctrine or principles, you ask in this connection how the question of ne gro suffrage shonld be .?treated? That question is no longer before us. Negro suffrage is thc bloody consummation of ?. great war, and nothing short of war can undo it in our day. In my opinion, it will endure in this Government as long as gen eral suffrage. I comprehend the objec tions to it, and think it was granted too scon to that part of our population re cently emancipated. All should make some preparation for this day. We deny suf irage to the foreigner for a time, in order that he may prepare for it, and we have schools for all, on the theory that-all should prepare for it; but it is granted, and it cimnt be recalled ; nor do I think it wise, i i such a Government as' this, to keep . ?immanently so large a part of our people ? i an inferior, degraded condition. Sla verv was always danger. To hold this"population, now free, in a degraded condition, would be a greater d inger and always trouble to us. Say wt have adopted a doubtful policy; it is anne ; I accept it. and on all such questions ad mitted to be of doubtful expediency, I shall for the remainder of my life, if per chance I must, ever strive at least to be tolerant, generous and humane, rely for goo?l voting as much upon the heart a> upon the head. I concur in what els you suggest The new organization should oppose all forms of monopoly. This is too plain to need argument. Monopolies are an outrage and an offence against the people. Thc new organization should op pose centralization, and it should advo cate hoi?e government in ail its local af i'uirs, and to the utmost extent that it is practicable. You cannot keen a people tree, sturdy and intelligent without home ' government : it is home government that trains us, teaches us reliance and devel?les manliness. Take it away, and the free man disappears. Centralize power at Washington, and we are transferred tc outside management. No longer govern ing ourselves, wc must be governed. De pending upon Washington, we lose out sell'dependence, and the free citizen soon degenerates into a mere subject, whose whole duty it is to obey the law, and whose only desire it is to be amused in idleness. You refer me also to the question of free trade. The new organization should make it one of its cardinal dc.:, -ines. There should be no equivocation ?,r double mean ing about this. A prohibitory tariff is in Slain contradiction to ;he character ot our fovernment. We are all equal in rights, privileges and immunities. There should be no descrimination, no favoritism, no partialities,personal orfinancial ; andas a commercial policy, a prohibitory tariff is behind the age-almost a barbarism and belongs to the times when nations were walled and commerce without winga I believe I have substantially answered your letter. The new organization may properlv antagonize the party now ad" ministering our affairs at almost even point. While ibises so. it should not un dertake to be everything at once, or push reform without sume regard to imm?diat?' consequences. Changes that shock by their abrupt ness, are not always just or fair. We should never forget sound principles, and we should move toward them constantly, surely and steadily, but sometimes grad ually. I don't believe in daily revolution, or violent derangement of public affairs. Let me suggest a doctrine to waich you have not referred : I mean the djctrine o: strict construction- of the Constitution. Have yen considered what a certain pre-1 vent ive of misgovernment maybe found in the tait hud application of this doctrine' 1 believe such an application of ii would correct almost every jutbhc evil of which we complain. It ia worth your while to test its reach -and efficacy, and what splendid doctrine it is tor such a Govern ment as ours; how it exalts the individu, al man, and how i; subordinates iic Gov eminent. It may letter thc Government now and then, but never the citizen. H< always remains uppermost, and mast? I am not a politician; or competent lo ad vise, but if you should make such a mov< ment as you propose, it should bc con ducted so as to give the strongest assur ance that it sought reform ana rot place. I am a Democrat, but 1 should be very glad to see tho Democracy move out of its old organization into a new one. Yoi will not succeed unless they do it. M:i_ be they will refuse, and prefer to tarn where they are for the balance of the cen tury, and until they eau rix the meaning of the resolutions of '98 ; if so, I suppose I shall tarry with them. After all, 1 li Ic ? the old political homestead. I confess is somewhat dilapidated. There are n< banners upon its wails, and victoriens shoutings are no longer heard within ; but it is a home still, and I shall not leave it until it is polled down. Very respectfully, *W. S.GK?KSBECK. Thc Modoc Court-Martial. The Washington Chronicle says: "Tie war department, now that its" supreme head is absent, and thc " heels bf basin B revolve 'slow and unsteady,' is timid in furnishing important news to th? press It states, and that somewhat cxplicity that thc result of tin Modoc court-mar tial bas not yet officially reached its clue bureau, the adjutant-general's office; hu: ij cannot deny the fact that unofficial ad vices have been received, and that by at officer of the department, in winch ? full and detailed foreshadowing is given of the fate of the Modoc murderers. Th? are to be shot one. and all. There is n mistake about Jthis. Thc papers have yet to go ?iirough tho secretary bf war lo thc ? Presidetrwbr iii-i action in the premises, (?enera! Jeff C. Davis earnestly hop. s that tho apiiioval of the Executive will iupplement the findings of the court, and the stab urn nt is hi ide that the eyes of the whole- Pacific coast will be directed to the action taken by thc President in the mat ter." A dispatch from thc Associated Press agent at Washington1 confirms the state ment that no official report has been re ceived, as follows : " The findings of the military commission in the case of the Modoc indians recently tried, have not yet been received at the war deportment. 'i'he proceedings, after being reviewed by G nerd Schofield, will be forwarded to Judge Advocate Genera] Holt, who will examine the testimony and findings and transmit, them to the secretary of war and the President for approval before the sen tence can be executed." ?&* Habits of scorn and contempt are based in and grow out of an inordinate self-righteousness-the " holi er?than thou" principle. It is very far removed from that humility which distrusts its own powers and hence seeks alliance with a power above, and so by the ope rations of a self-righteous instinct, it gravitates toward a coalescing with the very evil which at the outset it affected to scorn and treat with contempt. Graut's Mercy. The loyal papers of course blow lustily over the President's clemency to the Ku Klux prisoners of South Carolina as evi denced by his recent interview with Gen end Kershaw and his associ?tes and the letter of the Attorney General. Even some Southern papers find much cause for gratitude in the President's determination to open the gates of thc Albany peniten tiary. For ourselves, w-3 can discover in it nothing which the world has not here tofore suspected, viz: that Gcueral Grunt knows full web that these prisoners were wrongfully and illegally convicted and punished, and that he now wishes to make tardy and imperfect reparation for the in jury which he has done and the outrage which he has sanctioned. If these men are really guilty of thc horrible crime? with which they were charged, men like General Kershaw and his associates would never have asked for their release, and no faithful and honest Executive would have granted them pardon. If these men are the murderers and marauders which Judge Bond's Court declared them to be, in what way are they more deserving of executive clemency now than they were at the time of their conviction. It cannot be urged that-their crimes are political offenses, whicti come within the discretion of the Chief Magistrate, for this state ment is not true. These pardons can not be compared to the pardons granted State prisoners .-by the monarchs of the old world, for the cases are not at all analo sous. Assassination and robbery are not State offenses in any sense of the term. Xor? after commission, do they deserve pardon except under certain peculiar cir cumstances. "Why then should these terrible criminals experience the Presi dent's mercy ? The -Attorney General says because the Ku Klux Klan has been dis banded and there is nothing now to fear from its treasonable designs. When did this disbandment occur? Wesaythatit there ever was any such organization in the South it ceased to exist some time prior to the last Presidential election, and this fact was as well known to the Attoney General then as it is now. We say that this whole persecution of so-call ed Ku-Klux was a political trick-cruel as it was base-used for the purpose of strengthening the Radical party and se curing the second election of Gen. Grant. We say that the Administration declared martial law in South Carolina without good cause ; that the State, or portions ol' it, was harried by United States dragoons as if in time of war; that men were drag ged from their beds at dead of night with out lawful warrant or authority ; that wo men and children were maltreated atul in suited; that.so-called judicial tribunals were established and innocent pattie. brought to trial before packed juries and courts organized to convict; that men who had committed no offense, whpse sole crime was their political belief, were sent by scores to rot m Northern dungeons, or else forced to seek safety in "exile. We say that these things, were done in accor dance with a preconceived and pre arrang ed plan of the leaders of the Republican party; that they were done in order to divert the fight last Fall from real to false issues ; to mislead the masses of the Nerta: to cause them to believe our peo ple on the eve of a new "Rebellion;" to inflame them against theSouthern whites . to rally them to the support of the Re publican nominees as the only means of averting another civil war,; to secure the re-election of General Grant to the*Presi dency. Tlie . President's " mercy'' is a virtual acknowledgment cf his guilt. He seizes a flimsy pretext for releasing the victims of his party's perfidy, and does at this late day what he should havi done a year or more ago.-Chronicle & Sentinel. South Carolina Finances. [SPECIAL TO CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.] COLUMBIA, S. C., August 2. The n.igrations of the three Judges of the Supreme Court-Moses, Willard and Wright-taken in connection with the fa mous suit brought by Morton, Bliss & Co., and other holders ol' South Carolina bonds, have caused another flutter in the Radical ranks. The black and tan don't under stand the dodging. It was generally be lieved that as the Judges had until No vember loth, to render their decision, and the Legislature would have a session a few days thc-reatter. the Court would, by some hocus pocus arrangement, dodg" (In responsibility of rendering a decision in this contention between the honest and dishonest in the Republican rank?. But recent movements contradict such suppo sition. The negro Judge, Wright, has suddenly appeared in town from his Sum mer retreat on the hanks of the Susque hanna in Pennsylvania. He was evident ly sent for. Chief Justice Moses slips in ar.d out of the city in a very quiet and brief manner. The indications are that a decision will be rendered next week. While no intimation of its import has been re ceived direct from the Court or made pub lic, yet it can very safely be said that there will be no tax levy ordered to pay the interest on the bonds until the legal and illegal issues are mad^ known and sep arated. Another cause similar to that of Morton, Bliss ? Co., will follow any de cision in favor ol the Ring, and should th?' Comptroller-General order a levy it will hardly be undf-r way before the Legisla ture would assemble and commence agita ting repudiation. The leading Republican Senators and Representatives boldly re commend the scaling and funding of the whole State debt, legal and illegal" Moses pay Certificates and all. at say fifty cents on the dollar for that portion considered valid, and thirty cents for tim doubtful. Certain it is the leading men of all classes have no idea of paying any interest tax until after the Legislature "meets. This, notwithstanding the Comptroller-General is reported to have weakened and signified Iiis intention to make the levy should the mandamus be granted, popular indigna tion, though, will prevent the Court from issuing thc mandamus. FIIEE SAUCE. The Lien Law. Tb.e Clarendon Press urges thc repeal of tho lien law by the General Assembly. It says : We have come to tho conclusion, from see.ng its practical workings the present year, that the repeal of the lien law i. imperatively demanded as one of the first acts of the Legislature. Unquestionably .i good deal of suffering will bo entailed upon a large portion of the agricultural masses fora time, by the failure io get accommodation in the absence of any spe cial legislation to protect ?.?lilies advanc ing to them, bm in tia- end tho effect will beneficial to thc country. More than all other causes combined, the system is producing demoralization of labor and en rich ing the few at the expense of the many. Let (lie cultivators ol the soil en deavor, in the absence ol' the lien jaw, to build up a credit for themselves with Hie merchant and factor, by a contract-ob serving nuncfiliousnegfl.andthev will need no such helps, .-md tho material prospects of our country will be greatly enhanced. The slothful and indolent now depending upon securing ??: few pounds Licon and ? tew bushels of corn, and living the great - T portion of the year upon blackberries, fish and wild gana-, will bn compelled to go to work and produce something more than tln-ir lazy stomachs consume. On Friday morning, thc 11th inst., one ol' the most famous jewellers of Paris ox hibited iiis collection of jewels to the Shah, who purchased for 600,000 fn-ncs a collar of pearls and for 85,000 francs a i i'a m omi bracelet, winch is intended for th" wife of Marshal MacMahon. He also purchased many articles for his harem. He tried on his Grand Vizer everything ?down him, girdles, collars and aigrettes. He afterwards examined arms of various nodels, and was about to fire one from he window when he was reminded by he Grand Vizer that he might wound nme one. The Shah laughed and put iside the rifle. The First Kiss of Love. A lady says the first time she was dssed she felt like a tub of roses swim tiing in honey, cologne, nutmegs and ranberries.

EDITOK:-The enclosed paper on Tram Ways or Wooden Railroads, just received from thc President of thc So. Ca. R. R. Company, may interest your readers. THOMAS P. MAORATH. Tram Ways,--Or Wooden Railroads. The importance of tram ways, or wood en Railroads, as an economical mode of transportation, is scarcely yet well un derstood. Our country is very much cut up by expensive Railroads, ruinously competinir with each other for through freight. We now require feeders for these roads; short, inexpensive ones, where it would be ruinous to attempt a regular R iii road. The narrow gauge and tram way have both been recommended for this pur pose; each having its advantages and disadvantages. Thc former is the moro expensive, and requires besides, special cars; and in the transaction of business, bulk must bo broken in order to transfer freight to cars of the main line. This is always attended with expense and loss of time, and more or less damage to goods, and should if possible be avoided. It is a great objection to these roads, and is obviated by the use ol' tram ways upon which the ordinary Railroad cars can be run at a moderato speed ; quite sufficient however for 9hort roads and local pur poses, where the great speed of compe ting linea is not necessary. Engines are now being made specially adapted to f?ese roads, being much lighter, and having broader wheels and deeper flan ges, and costing of course much less than the ordinary engines of our Railroads. The broad wheels having a greator bear ing upon the timber are not so destruc tive of the track ; and the deeper flanges are an additional security upon much worn wooden rails. Below will be found an approximate estimate ol' tho cost of a tram way. This of course will vary witJi the ditficuilics of preparing the road bod. and with other causes incident to different localities. After tlie second year lt would be safe to estimate in the cost of Maintenance of Way, the renewal of at least one-third to one half the stringers per annum ; and probably one-fifth of tho cross ties. This should and need never bc moro than 12 to 15 miles per hour; and tho schedule should be so regulated as to allow time for trains to stop for freight or passengers upon any part ol' the road, so as to alford every possible inducement to the coun try people to use thc trains. They will soon learn io think them indispensable.

This will fire the north ern heart, and arouse thc Beast Butlers tho Colfaxcs, thc Dixes, and all thc hyenas of thc North, and render his oc cupancy of the presidency for life a set tled matter. Again and again have the Radicals resorted to such falsehoods to perpetuate their power, and again and again have thc "intelligent" northern people been thus induced to come up to the support of tho most corruptnnd hj*po oritical party that ever disgraced a ruined country. ?&~ General Wade Hampton has gone to Warrenton, Virginia, where he will deliver an address on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of a monu ment to the Confederate dead. ?frlho Columbia Phoenix states that Congressman Elliott will receive appli jations for beneficiary scholarship in the Louisville, Ky., Medical College, from roung men residents of his congressional ? listriot. For tlie Advertiser. From North Carolina. SHBLBY, N. C., Aug. 1S7.V Mu. JEDITOK:-I dropped you a few lines from Charlottelast Monday, giving a description of crops, Ac., on thc C. C. & A. ll. lt. On Tuesday morning wo took the "Carolina Central Railroad," via Lin colnton, to.Buflalo Station, fifty miles, from thence four miles to the Cleveland Mineral Springs. The crops upon this Road were much better, the corn gi n orally very good. Just before reaching Lincolnton saw a large field planted in tobacco, which I thought was rather small, but tho Superintendent of thc Lincolnton Tobacco Manufactory, who was in the cars, assured me that it would make one cutting of fine tobacco. He also informed me that ther9 was consid ?rable tobacco raised in that section, and manufactured ar Lincolnton. He gave mo an ounce plug as a sample of their best, which I assure you had tbe ap pearance of being as fine tobacco as any man would desire to chew. We found about fifty persons at the Springs, including children and servants. There had been more, but at a watering place there is a continual changing in numbers, some coming, and others leaving. There are three mineral Springs at Cleveland, one White Sulphur, one Red Sulphur and one Iron. The first and last named are very strong; tho white sulphur leaves a white sediment upon the rocks over which it passes from tho spring for several feet, which is very hard to remove, but which, I believe, is done every morning. Tho water when drunk a*, the spring is delightfully cool, anq to mo very pleasant. I oould hardly satisfy mjrself with drinking. For the accommodation of Boarders there is a large brick building, three sto ries high, with a wide piazza to each floor, the whole length-capacity, I sup pose, of holding about one hundred per sons-and two cottages, each two stories high, with ..everal rooms in them. There is a variety growth surrounding the springs, consisting of white and red oak, sycamore, maple, walnut, poplar, ash, tte, besides the aspen, tho wild and tame locust, and others. Upon arrival at thc Springs, amone the first wc met was our friend Col. H. W. A., of the village. Thc meeting with him was quite unexpected, as wo had heard before leaving home that he in tended going to the Porter Springs, in Georgia. The days are quite warm, but th( nights pleaftnt.

The Caterpillar Poison. Down in south-West Georgia tlie plan ters are saving their cotton from the dep redation of tho caterpillar by sprinkling over the cotton a new compound known as "Royall's Caterpillar Destroyer," which is said to bo certain in its effect, and can be applied with but little cost oi labor. The Albany Hews, noticing thc ero]) prospects, says: From reliable information received from planters, weare unable to make a more favorable report than that ol'last week. The few live, energetic, enter prising men who have resorted to thc "Dostroyer," report that is it no longer an experiment, but a complete ?MC cern, it kills tho worm, and retains its preventive elements fur certainly twelve days. Where it has been used, there is therefore no danger of caterpillar before thu 10th, or 12th inst. After that it will take full twenty:one days for a rally in sufficient force to do much damage, which will be too late to injure the crop. .Just now the second crop is webbing, and while iii that state tlie unobservant and inexperienced are apt lo "lay tho nattering unction to their souls" that tho insidious insect has disappeared. Hence, those who are cajoled into fancied secu rity refuse to use thc poison, and, wc fear, will wake from their dream, only when it is too late. Tho crop is well fruited, and is contin liing to fruit mure rapidly than any season for many years. Nothing but thu caterpillar can now provont the ma turing or a large crop. Wo arc authorized by Col. B. G. Lock ett to say that ho experimented fully to ascertain tho effect of the poison on the stalk and fol ia:: c. Where the npplhlt lions were excessive; the foliage was killed and drop pe? I oft'j but a new foliage is coming out, and the process of bloom ing and fruiting was not checked.

Pio Nino has su tiered from ill ness. The whole Northwest, including Mis souri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, seems to bo deeply agitated on thc ques tion of tho relations between the farmers and the railroads. All tho papers from that section are lilied witii proceedings of meetings, editorials, communications and speeches. Tho agricultural class is thoroughly organized by means of the granges, and being largely in the ma jori ty in the States named, as well as in all the Western and Southern States, it becomes a "question of considerable im portance what it will do regarding na tional politics. Tho organs and' manag ing men of both existing political pin ties have benn volunteering much advice to tho rt Grangers." It is generally be lieved that most of these Grangers are Republicans. The question arises wheth er they will endeavor to reform that par ty, whether they will join the free trade wing of the Democratic party or the small Liberal Republican party, form a new party for themselves' and all other reformers, or abstain altogether from politics, which would seem to be the ?viser course. The control of politics by nen of any particular occupation or .lass we think wrong in theory and in urious in practice, albeit they have thc .ntiro confidence of the commuuity for iobriety, honesty and judgment. j For the Advertiser.

Moat Southern men, where they, turn Radicals for pav, are . satisfied with the pecuniary emoluments derived therefrom. Hut it seems that Gov. Moses, not only lakes the mopey, but uses his position to entrap the yoong and nnsnsfM?etingldaugh Icis of his subjects, (ves, sujets, that'd the right'word,) that h?^f?fcrht gratify his beastly passion. The following extract' is from the Colletou Gazette, a strictly Republican journal, edited by Geo. F, Mc I nt vre.: i What will the popular feeling bc when t it is made generally' known that the Gov I crnor of this State'has persons employed for no other purpose than to act as pro curers, inveigle into his meshes and den voling girls of every description, r.gard lesa of thar innocence, and who, when once in his possession, never go forth from' him except as poor tainted beings, to be come in time, if not immediately, misera ble and ruined outcasts. Then follows in the same paper, an ac count of the fiendish manner in which the Governor and his agents enticed a beauti ful girl, some fourteen or fifteen years of age, to his harem, and accomplished her ruin. Alas! poor South Carolina. We thought it was bad enough'when a negro was sent to the United States Congress where the State was once represented by Calhoun, McDuffie, eec, but we.believe it is worse to have this brute, Moses, in the Gubernatorial chair.-Quitman Banner. SSS- The New York Evening Post, which has supported Grant in almost everything, argues that the President's salary cannot bo changed during his term, but mildly suggests that there is nothing to prevent his returning tho in crease to the Treasury, should he deem it advisable.

He is one of | those who take and keep all they can get. .TZ?r- Tins is no intoxicating beverage r doctored liquor, to lead the tippler on t drunkenness and ruin, but a strictly medical preparation made from roots and herbs, suitable to any agc oreoiiTll-| tion.

God called thee Home, to join thy little angel Sister and Brothers in that better laud ol' never ending bliss. Thou hast early gone from the face of those who loved'thee here; gone from tho sorrows of earth to the joys of Heaven ! "Wc mourn thee, our darling, Oar beautiful one, Still tearfully praying: May God's will be done." Mrs. ISABELLA MORRISON' BLOCK EU, widow of the late JAMES BLOCKER, and daughter of JAME-? and AXXA BER WICK MORRISON, late of Charleston, S. C , died at the residence ?if her son-in law, Ur. John Lake', on Sunday, July 27th. She would have completed her eightieth year on the Thursday (31st;fol lowing the day of her death. Possessed of far more than ordinary mental capacity, she enjoyed in early life tho best culture which the city of Charles ton could afford Though reared amid the refinement and allurements nf high life in the cit}', and, as au only child, idolized by her parents, she yet made a profession of faith in Christ at tho early age of nineteen, from which time to ber death she walked tho path of an humble, eonsistont Christian. She united at (irst with the Presbyterian Church, but in 1 S31 she became convinced, after haig and prayerfu) investigation of the word of God," that it was ber duty tobe im mersed, and so was baptized into the fel lowship of Gilgal Baptist Church Her piety was of the higher order. Everything that she did displayed thc controlling influence Of her religious character. Whilo her charity and be nevolence were boundless, she combined with these the most unswerving devotion to principle and conviction of duty. Nothing was considered by her as a re lease from the active service of her Mas ter. Though an invalid for many years prior to her death, and for two years eon-, lined to her bed by inflammatory rheu matism, blind and deaf, she yet found frequent opportunity for seeking the spiritual welfare of others, and her la Lors were abundantly blessed. Her faith in prayer was unwavering. She prayed and expected an answer, and to a're markable degree she was permitted to see the answers to her prayers. Toward the close of her life sin- spent live hours a day in her private devotions, and in deed seemed ti> live in constant com mull ion with heaven. She died as she had lived in thc full triumph of Christian faith. Thus has passed away from earth a most remarkable woman. Few such ?lave over adorned the race. May liOY numerous friends and relatives, as they cherish her memory, strive to emulate her exalted vi nues. J,. JJ, July 120th, 1*7:;.
