The New York Tribune of Monday says: "We must not be so prompt heroafter in crediting reports of Southern outrages upon Grant orators A few days ago we commented, with some severity, upon a dispatch from North Carolina, stating thart a speech of Mr. Settle had been the occasion of soine riotous disturbances. It is impossible to regard Mr. Se'tile with any special respect, but we con dened the reported attack upon him as a violation of the freedom of speech whiob is the right of every one, and which must not be anywhere infringed. But the outrage vanishes when the details of the anair are re teived. A Grant paper of this city gives a full account of the occurrence, which reduces to nothing the thrilling talo of the imaginativo'tolegrnpher. "Mr. Settle began an account of his litewardship at Philadelphia and else. whore, and 'the Ku Klux began ask ing importinent questions.' This is cortain y not an unusual occurrence in political meetings. Some of the questions, however, were only too per tinont. One depraved villain inter rupted the loyal flow of the Judge's eloquence by asking : 'Where were you when Secession began ' The Judge retorted by a sarcastic refer ence to the Interrupter's staturs, and the little man suggested that if Mr. Settle would come down from the stand they could promptly decide their relative physical value. Mr. Settle declined this ordeal, which was a proper and prudent thing to do, and there was no further disturb. anco except loud cheers for Greeley at the close of the meeting. There is nothing in this story to ourdle the most susceptible blood. The 'Ku Klux' milt have asked still more embarrassing questions of the Grant orator. They might have gone to in convenient lengths in their catechism as to his rebel record. They might have put to him unanswerable queries as to the servies Ie rendered For the $10,000 he receivod as Minister to Peru, which offico ie hoeld for a year or so, and never left the limits of his own State. We hope no one will have the cruelty to touch on these facts when Mr. Settle next rises to harangue the chivalry of North Caro lina about the success and the purity of the Administration which has given him so tidy a retainer. Such an outrage as this would probably re sult in putting tile State under mar. tial law." A (lerman Proinuciniulo for ~Greelry At a recent ihooting of prominent German Democrats and Republicans of Now York, the following resolu. tions were unanimously adopted. Commissioner Magnus Gross nted as Chairman and the following commit too appointed to carry into effect the resolutions . Judge J.

Another meeting will be call ed for Friday, to receive the signa tures and appoint the delegation to Baltimore: Whexrons at a conference of a small number of citizons frinm various parts of the Union, held in one of the parlors of a hotel in this city on the 20th and 21st of June, a fewv muen, without any authority whatever, have arsumned to speak as repr-esenta tuves of the Germnan-Americans, and were reported to have given expres sion to sentiments utterly at variance with the opinions held by the uinder. bignied, and thousands upon thousands of their counirymen in this city and all over tho IUion ; andl whereas the unfounded statements then and there made are threatened to be urged upon the National Democratic Coni vention at Baltimore as the senti ments entertained by German voters on the questions of choosing candi dates for the Pf-esidoney and Vice.

Our columns are -open to all for a free discussion of any principle. theory or itlen, but we are in no way responsible for (he views or opinions of orrespondenti. Colonel Aikon's Address. We had the pleasure Thursday last of listening to tho highly interesting address delivered by our former fel low-citizen Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the most practical, progressive, and in structive speech we have heard since the war. Col. A. began by referring to his missimn, the objeots lie had in view, and the results he hopcd to work out. About the beginning of the present year he was commissioned by the State Agrioultural Society to can vass the State in the interests of the Society, and of Agriculturo generally, but as yet had received little or no encouragenment in his labors, although lie had been travelling four months, and had visited nine counties in the State. There seemed to be a feeling of unrest and disquiet wherever lhe had been, which operated very strong. ly against any improvement in the general character of the country, and the universal cry appeared to be, pov erty. The question naturally arises, why arc our people so poor. There arc certainly assignable reasons for it, and amongst these might be first men tioned, ignorance, or lack of intelli. genco among the laboring classes. TVhe benefits and advantages of a lib oral education are not properly appro elated by the masses. Ils experience and observation was that there was more ignoranco generally in South Carolina than in any other State hn had travelled through. lie knewv of farmers in this County, running four and fiye plows, who don't know the name of the County newspaper, or the fact of there being a paper published in the County. In his efforts to se cure subscriptions for agricultural papers, the invariable reply was, "I am no book farmer," when the truth of the whole matter is that the man who doesn't study agriculture as a science is a veritable "old fogy." Many persons read agricultural works, but not wvith a view to the benefit to be derived from them, and the great difficulty in the way of agriculture succeeding under our present system is that our people dent think of it, dont study it, dent rend about it as 'a sciene, and cant bring themselves to realize that it is a .sciene. Unt il they awake to such reality, they will always be poor, and can never make farming a successful and remunera tive calling. Another cau'e of our poverty, said the speaker, Is that we plant such ex. pensive crops, vis Corn and Cotton. These two products cost more to pro. duce them than any others that arc put in thme ground, and the assertion otnn be easily proved by resorting to Dalculation and figures. Their culti vation exhausts the soil in which they ire planted, and they consume the whole planting season in maturing, whereas by raising more small grain >e gathere.I, and more money made with one-third of the labor that is re. juired to cultivate corn and cotton, Dur people, remarked Col, A., are miserable sla'vs to King Cotton, and it is high time that they should tbrowi off the yoke, and burst asunder the retters that bind them. As long at they serve so exacting a master, they man never be perfectly free and indo. pondetit, S servile Is their oalling as supporters of the hoary king, thal they are compelled to .let others put a prica alpon the fruits of their labo* and the means of 'their livelihood h converted into an object of specula, tion. While this state of things last poverty will be our lot. Another reason given by COul. A for the poverty of our people is the discontent and restlessness, not on111 felt, but exhibited, and a scoming de mire to break up old associations and move away to other lands in the bop( of bettering their condition and Or oumstances. He had travelled foul months in 1870 In the South anm Southwest, had met tip with at leas five hundred former citizens of thi State, all of wihon expressed them selves as no better off than when liv ing in South Carolina, and one indi vidual, a former member of Congres from this place, nrid most emphati cally that he would return to Winns boro immedintely If lie was no ashamed to do so. Col. A. closed his: address witl some practical suggestion.e, whicl we hope to set carried into cffect, an, gave a general outline of the organi zation of the Patrons of llusbandry We will endeavor to lay these sugges tions, and the latter, before our road ers in our next issue. Want or spae prevents us front doing so in this le sue.

The Various Devices to Defeat the Pops lar Will. The people, says the Chiarlesto Courier, have thus far proved no only in advance of, but more power fal than, the politicians. It was per ceived by many, years ago, that th only way in which peace couild b effected, the CJonstitution restored and self-government once more' il sway, was by the Union of the men o all heretofore organizations whose pa triotism were superior to mere part; names or ties. 'This was clearly d< i-eloped in Virginia, by the Coitserva tivc movement, by which the Radica and extreme Republican party were swept out of power in that Common wealth. It was illustrated in North Carolina, where the same result wai attained, and in Missouri, where th< shackles were thiuu struck off th thousands of American citizens, and that Commonwoalth forever redeemer to a real freedom. It was the samt view that led, in South Carolin, te bhe Press Conference, and the organi, ration nf the Refrm movement Quelling a Riot. During the recent riots in the town of Khatrkoff, in the Province of Ukraino, Russia, the people wero hay. ing a holiday drunken-bout in th. iquaro of St.. Miehael, and making a great noise. The police ordered them to disperso and deluged thom with water, but this only incensed the peo - ple, who immediately proceeded to stone the police. Trdops were then called in, but wore repulsed with con siderable loss of 'life, and for over a day the rioters held possossion of the town and threatened to do groat dam ago to governat.eiet property. TI e governor finding himself powerless applied to the arelbidshop to assist him inl restoring order. The tter then addressed the Crowd, censured the police iad the troops, and offered to celebrato a funeral sercee for those (if the rioters who lad been killed. rhis quieted the people for a time, nud enabled the authoritieA to put themselves in a condition to enforeo the lrcservation of the peace.
