A Colored Party. There are signs of the formation of a "Colored party" within the Radical organization in this State, and they are giving the. white lea.ders,' mostly imported, a greit deal of anxiety and uneasiness. They are this min. ute trembling in their shoes at this demonstration, and well they may. The Radical organ asks frantically - "lave Republicans Indoed fought so long in South Carolina for the dis. enthralment of the colored people from the whites, and the destruction, as far as possible, of all political lines founded on race, only to see the col. ored people return evil for evil, and seek to pit their race, as a race, agaidst the wbites V" This movement has several times appeared in the editorials of 'Parson Uain of the Missionary Record. It has now become more dednite, and will no doubt soon be organized. We copy some significant extracts from speeches of Land Commissioner R. C. DeLargo . and 'Major. , Delany, in Charleston, last Wednesd'ay. Some white men,said Mr. DeLarge, want us to act according to their die, tation without ensulting us. If tile vhite men in. the partythink that the Republican party was made for them, for their benefit, they are badly mis. taken. There are bad men among our State offiore, and they can re. move tue its soon as they please, foi saying so. Why is it that we colored mien have become identified with tht Republican party I Is it because there is londstone which attracts and holds us there, or is it because we are deluded and follow blindly certain mi ? No I We joine,d hia party be. dau.e it profousel equal rights and privileges to.1l, pod ap,long as they do as they profess Istay with tl)em, We joined this party, and We. are thankful bcesuse, they gave us out freedom.

If a color. ed man-is elected. to the Senate ,or House of Representatives, will lie not do as much for a colored man as a white mian would I This is all that is claimed, and this programme must be carried out. We don't want more than one-half of the officers ; we don't want a colored Governor, for our good sense tells us differently, and the will of the people indicates a different course; but we want a colored Lieuten ant Governor, two colored men in the Ifouse of Representatives and one the Senate, and our quota of State and county offices. CONFFDEnATE Ancivs.-Wm. L. Stone recently delivered an oration before the Meta Delta Chi frateruity in New York,-says the A*yIsbur Con tmerical, in the course of which he gave some information conoernin the disposition maade of the Confederate Archives at the close of the late war. These are his words: "On the morning of Mr. Davis' capture," says Mr. Stone, "David Tilghman waited upon him at his bed. iide, and said : 'Mr. Davis, by this map you may see that the enemy are here, such and such is tihe situation of the roads. If you como with me you Will be able to leave the country in safety. If you do not, you will be captured in five hours.' To Mr. Da vis replying, curtly, that he 'knew his own business best,' Tilgh man continu ed, 'Vcry well, sir, I have been en. trks'ted with the treasre and"arehives and propose to seoure them, -even at the peril of the loss of your favor and of my life. I shall start at once by the route I have niarked out.' "Whe result is well known.. In less than five hours Mr. Davis was a pris oner, but the archives were sare. When, a few weeks after, in tie re cesses of the forestlilghmatn leatned that all was lost, he alone, and with his own hands buried the treasure and archives, and, unless during the fout days that elapsed .btween partitg with me and his untoward death, he revealed the spot, the secret as to the whereabouts of the archives is for ever buried, and as long as they shall be kept from tha ken of man, so long shall the story be a monument to our brother,i unswerving fidelity. This is the true history of the archives ofthe 'outhern Confderacy, although ru mors are from time to time set afloat of their being now in the vaults of this bank, and now of that." E MPAN TO AvE Fun PLAY ! The Lancaster Ledqer hears that at the recent election colored, men were registered by the managers who had not been residebts of the State for six months. This can be proved by ref. erence to the registration books, The Leeqrr then says : "It t4ze 'Scott dynasty' expects to carry the eledtions in this county this fall by such unprincipled maeasures, we tell them now, in tinme, that they can't do it. TIheir opponents ask for nothing more than a fair ballot. Unai they wi/I hae'. They ask that. the election laws of the Btate may he fairly administered. We ask foi gothing teore ; we will be satisfned Iwith nothing less.". IThis is the way to talk.

Butler Dumbfounded. The following is a4 faithf%l at graphio report of the appearanco General Bradley T. Johnson- befo1 the Put Woods committee' of 00 gress on Friday last, tho 24th'instat, Butler will perhaps call for nn inve tigating committee to asoertain. ho the facts leaked out ; but who cares Butler was attempting to show thi the citizens of Richmond approved < Pat Woods' beating Porter, and wi ness-swore that a gentlemau, on bit ding Pat good-bye in the cars hi given him money, and told him "I recolleot the First Virginia." The witness was wistaken, howevo and General Bradley T. Johnson, w.li was presdutt us Woods' couusel,, ha himself sworn as a witness, in ord< to explain that he had 'given th money, and that Moore, Pat's forn Colonel, had told him to recollect th First Vi'ginia. General J. eid : "I had neve heard of Pat before the beating, an was applied to to defoud hin,becau, my practice was in the Federal court ,nd I was familiar with the laws e Congress. That, finding him abou to be carried among strangers,illegal ly, poor and without money, I gav him what I had about me." Butler-"Did you ever hear of an otlier not, good or bad, done by Pa Woods bmides this assault on Poi ter 1" The qu,)tion was objected to b, one of the ,onimittee. Butler then avowed that his objec was to show that the wittet (whom lie said he believed. to be highly respectable gentleman,) syn pathized with Pat, (of whom Genera J. had never beard beforo this event. to such an extont as to have given hiti money, from which he would drai the inference that lie (General J. approved of PaP's act. After a long discussion, the eon nmitt6e ruled that the ques;ion shouli .be answered, and Butler repeated . i as above. General J..-"Yds ; I have hear< of one othe good act of bi.s." "Wat was it i" asked butler, an, he and the others of th9 comnite looked at'the withess with great.inte est. General J.--"IIartie ta olar of the Orst Virginia regin'efueu Butler's face was a study as lie rc ceived the keply. le faitly -gaspe for breath.
