The New York Times, of a late date, very wisely says that the best thing thai could happen to the negro race, now thai they are possessed of their freedom and al! their civil rights, would be, so far as nation al politics are concerned, to cease altogeth er being an exciting element, and, so fai as they themselves are ooncerned, to asaidu ously give their attention to education, th< acquisition of property, and moral and so oial improvement.

Many of our readers well remembei tbe great meteorio shower of November 1838, which was visible thronghout Nortl America. These meteoric showers are saic bj astronomers to be periodical, returning at intervals of about thirty three years. Pro feasor Newton, of Yale College, who hai devoted muoh time to the investigation ol the subjeot, states that a similar phenomenon will probably ooour about the 13th 01 14th of November next, and so confident are astronomers generally that it will then appear that extensive preparations are being made by soientifio men in Europe to observe it.

The two great parties, I Conservative Union, and Republican, are 1 straggling in a desperate oontest for su1 premacy in the fall elections; and party tactioians were never more busy in manmu1 vring their respective political campaigns 1 than at this time.

Military aid, to enforce order , and secure justice, bas already been applied i for, and from present indications will no J doubt be needed As these elections are in all probability to decide whether we of the South are a people or not, we naturally look to the result with more than ordinary interest. In another column will be found interesting information on this subject THE PRESIDENT'S TOUR. . President Johnson and family?a part : of his Cabinet?General Grant, an l Ad1 miral Farragut, started last week on a grand tour to the Northwest. The Presir dent had some time ago accepted an invita. tion to be present, at the inaugural ceremo) nies, attending the laying of the corner ' stone, of the Douglass monument at Chicago, and that city will be the prinoipal recipient of his visit. This tour posseses c more significance than any mere ordinary . occasion. The coming elections in the * Northwest, will no doubt be favorably in\ fluenced by the presence there of the Head _ of tho Nation, and the cortege of civil, . military and naval celebretieB accompanying j him. That influence has no doubt beeD * accurately calculated, and the visit so ar| ranged, as to seoure the fullest amount of , success. 1 There has been everywhere along the t route thus far?except at Philadelphia? r tumultous demonstrations of confidence, , respect and applause. Through Maryland r and Delaware, the people gathered every, where along the rail roads to catch a glimpse I of the President, and delegations from | every corporation waited upon him to tender the hospitalities due. t The grandest demonstration of all? ^ probably the grandest ever offered in this country to any one man?was given by t New York City. The military and civil II reception?the banquet, and the order, and ; I expensiveness of the oeremonies are de* j scribed as wonderful even for New York. ', All this is cheering. Respeot for the man J indicates respect for his principles; and , the enthusiasm awakened by this visit, iB a good index to the peoples' votes. We give below the speeoh of the President in reply to the pabllo reoeption by the City authorities of New York, and also the proceedings at the banquet at Delmonico's: "To reply to what you have just given utterance to, under the oiroumstanoes, would be more than I oould undertake. I am overwhelmed at the reoeption you have aecorded to me. [Applause.] Language is inadequate to give expression to my feelings. I accepted your invitation, and I now beg you will, in return, accept my most sincere and heart-felt thanks. Suoh an invitation from this great metropolis ought to encourage, and it does encourage, me io- the faithful disoharge of my duties. [Cheers.] It is * t L peoauariy acoeptame ai mis time, ireuu ao we are from the battle-field. Bat there ia still a greater battle before as. [Cheers.] Ia reference to what I have done, it is before you; aod it is for you to determine what my oondaot has been. [Applaose.] In conclusion, let silenoe speak for me for what I ought to say and what I intended to do. [Cheers.] In accepting these resolutions, acoompanied by sentiments so gratefully uttered, I again return you my sincere thanks. At the conclusion of the President's remarks, he was greeted with three oheers. Loud calls were then made for Seoretary Seward. He said: "I feel that I am at home. I thank you for the weloome you have extended to me. [Aplause ] I feel more than that; for I have brought with me to yours and my home,, the President of the United States?[Cheers]?united by the arms of our heroes, by the virtue of our oitizens, and by the wisdom and energy of onr Chief Magistrate. If anything is wanting, it is the oertifioate whioh we look for at the ooming polls, to bear us put in onr opinions, that the United States should oonsist of ^thirty-five, instead of twenty-five States.[Great applause.] In the city and State of New York, the people should be faithful, first to their views, then to their children, then to the oity and State, and then to the oountry. To this duty I adhere; and, if persons were to interfere with me in faitbfullly carrying out this prinoiple, I oould overbalance them and still be faithful to the country." [Great oheering.] second despatch. New York, August 30 ?The banquet to the President last night was a splendid affair. Among those present were Grant, Farragut, Seward, Welles, the Russian, Mexican and Brazilian Ministers, A. T. Stewart, Astor, and upwards of 2000 prominent citizens. The President spoke at great length, and said, in the coarse of his remarks, that the Government went to war for the express purpose of preserving the anion of the States, and the Federal Government had established the great fact, that the States have not the power or the right, either by forcible or peaoeable meaos, to separate from eaoh other; but the Congress has practically assumed, and up to the present time carried out the dootrine, that the Government was dissolved, and those States were out of the Union. We denied their right to secede even peaceably, and now we End, when these States desire again to renew their praotical relations with the Union, by sendin g representatives to Congress, there are men in that body who, in violation ot our great charter of liberty, refuse to admit them. The question is, will we submit ? Will the American people submit to this praotical assertion of the doctrine they repudiate and overthrew by the war ? That issue is before you. If we submit to this, we give the lie direot to every position taken by us since the war oommenoed.? He asked in the spirit of Christianity and sound phyiosophy, if we are prepared again to see one portion of the oountry arrayed against the other in deadly oonflict, or shall we make every effort to unite the whole country in harmony and become friends ? Referring to the Philadelphia Convention, he said the best evidence that can be shown of loyalty, are loyal professions and loyal actions; and when these gentlemen, met in convention from the North and the South, come forward and profess devotion to the United States and the Constitution, and when their actions and professions oormltA oViol 1 rlovo fr* kf fKom ? ICSpUUU) wuu OUUII uai v v\J uwuww buwui ? Have we reaohed that point, that all confidence is lost in men ? If we have, I tell you that your Government is not as strong as a rope of sand. It has no weight, and will tnmble to pieoes. The adverse power of this Government is in the confidence which the people pnt in each other. He said the South had accepted the arbitra. ment of the sword and lost, and wanted to return again to the Union. He did not want to see them come baob degraded and debased, but wanted them to come with all their manhood. They have again taken up the Constitution, and ask that its laws shall be enforced. What, then, was the cause of distrust or lack of confidenco in them ?? There is do cause. He also said General Grant and himself had fought for the Union at one end of the line, and now the; were fighting for it at the other end, and Grant not in the field. He was doing equally good servioe. [Laughter and applause.J He said furthermore, that our 3,000,000,000 of debt oould be paid only by the consolidation of our nationality and perpetuity and union of the States. In oonclusioD, he said the demonstration in New York confirmed him iD his opinion, that the people will take care of the Government, and those who oould attempt to cheat their purpose bad better stand out of the way; as for himself, he had reached" the summit of his ambition, with one exoeption. J He said there is but one thing wanting? would you hear it ? [Cries of yes] At this particular crisis and period of our history? when the States are in peril?if I can be the instrument, in the hands of the people, of restoring this Union and making it complete, oausing the Government to recommence its glorious and mighty career of prosperity and greatness, I will be willing to exclaim, as Simeon did of old, when he saw the babe born in the manger. "I have seen the glory of thy salvation; let thy servant depart in peace." [Applause.] That being done, my ambition is complete; I ask no more. I would rather live in history?rather live in the affections and hearts of my ooontrymen, as having consummated this great end?than to be President of the United States forever. Here the audienoe broke into an impres sive bant of applause^ and, on the oall of < Gen. Stanford, gave three oheers for An- 1 drew Johnson, the restorer of the Union. < After a drive through the Central Park, i the President and Gen. Grant took a boat i at Manhattanvllle for Albany. ] Albany, N. Y., August 31.?-The President arrived last evening, and was wel- 1 corned to the Capital of the State by Gov. i Fenton. The President made no lengthy ] reply, but merely returned bis thanks, and I aocoepted as the Chief Magistrate of the i oountry the hospitalities of the State. The 1 President and party were then escorted to i the Exeoutive Chamber, where the Gover- i nor introduced the President to Senators of i the State, and to the Lieut. Governor. Gen. i Grant, Admiral Frragut, Seoretary Welles 1 and other were subsequently introdeced. j There were demonstrations of respet paid to the President at Pougbkeepsie, West j Point and points on tho Hudson River. I RADICAL CONVENTION. , The Convention of Southern Radioals wu to have met in Philadelphia on Toes- i day last, the 8d inet. We have heard nothing of the proceedings of this sham oonoern thna far. The infamous Botts of Virginia, the New Orleans convention rioters, and Hamilton, the notorious, of Texas, oompose about all of the affair. Another suoh a set of political blackguards probably never got together before. Where is Barnum ? EDITORIAL INKLINGS. The State of Tennessee will proba* bly ere long be the soene of an intense political excitement. The attempt of the Brownlow faction to rule the vast majority of the poeple, intolerable in any view, but made more so by their enormities, will be met by a State Convention, spontaneously organized, for the adoption of a new Constitution. The Lebanon Herald, speaking of this contemplated movement, says: "There is, in our opinion, but one feasible method to 'alter, reform, or abolish' the State government, and that is by calling a convention of the sovereign people of the State. How is this to be done ? We al! know that the people who are io possession of the government of the State will throw every obstaole in the way of a peaceable assemblage of delegates. That they will try every means in their power to prolong their despotism over oar down-trodden people, so it will be useless to expect assistance from that quarter- How is it to be done'{ Simply by holding preliminary meetings, and fixing on a day for a general election of delegates. The Constitution gives them the 'inalienable' and 'indefeasible' right to do this 'whenever they think proper " Last week an order was published from the Chief of the Freedmea's Bureau, stating that after the first of October next, rations would only be issued to persons in hospitals and asylums: The following is the number of destitute whites and freedmen, inmates of hospitals and asylums throughout the South. "Virginia, 560; District of Columbia, 226; South Carolina, 221; North Carolina, 215; Alabama, 287; Georgia, 474; Mississippi, 100; Florida, 38; Louisiana, 418; Arkansas, 128; Kentucky, 87. Total number of Government dependents 2,763." That "there is nonor amone ? 0 thieves" has often proved a doobtfnl proverb, bat the following incident from a Philadel phia court room, will rather strengthen the faith of many as to its trnthfalness: "In the dock were two individuals oharged with burglary. They were new to the business, and none of the detectives could reoognize them as before in their olutobes. They pleaded "not guilty" when arraigned, and no more was thought of the case among the spectators in the court room. About an hour after the plea had been entered, a "professional," who is fortunate enough to be at liberty at the present time, stepped up to a well known member of the bar, and handed him 825, requesting him to give his services to the two unfortunates about to be tried. He accompanied the fee with a remark that he had no acquaintance with the fellows, but, for the honor of the "profession," he desired them defended. The lawyer took the money, and stepping into court, examined the bills of indiotment, and discovered that they were charged with burglary in entering a dwell? a tug uuu nLcnuug urc puuuuo ui uuuci auu several quarts of milk. The lawyer reported the state of affairs to his principal. Imagine his astonishment at the answer of the woold-be friend of the strange burglars: "Let the fellows go up. If they stoop to stealing butter and milk, they de. serve all the Judge can give them. Keep the 825, and go to the Judge and tell him to give them another year!" The disgusted prosessional turned ou his heels and marched away, cursing the meanness of the men who had descended so low as to steal provisions rather than more substantial plunder."

An intelligent European correspondent writing from Paris, does not give a very promising view of the recent treaty of peace. He says: "We have peace?for a time. No one believes it to be lasting.

Antwerp is now the most intrenched oamp in Europe, and the army will be able there to defend their fiag and government for a time against great odds." A planter of Sumter county, Ala., thus relates to the Livingston Journal an account of an amusing interview between himself and his "head man"?Howard.? Work bad not gone to suit him, so calling up Howard, he ordered bim to quit the plaoe. Flinging down his bat and assuming an attitude, Howard delivered himself "thusly:" "Masa'er I don't wish to diotate to yon or any thing'o' dat kind. But don't tell this nigger to leebe.

We are advised now, by the highest authority in the premises, that passenger oars will pass over the Broad River bridge by about the fifth of September. Freight oars were rolled over a week, or nearly so, sooner than the trains oan pass. This bridge is of great importance to the up country towns upon the line of this road, because corn and similar imports cannot be taken across the hiatus by boating, without considerable increase of oost. The Mountains this Summer. There is but little summor-resorting in our South Carolina mountains this year. Caesar's Head is not inhabited; and even the en route itinerant finds no resting place as he passes over. We understand the property is changing hands; and the expenses of keeping up a house there are too heavy to warrant their opening the house this year. In that whole regioo, provissions are very high. We can board more cheaply in New York or any other eity, than we oan in Greenville village. < The Table Rock House is so far out of the way that no body ever bears of it. We presume old Mr..

Fashion and gayety do not reign there. A number of health seekers are scattered through the country in the vicinity pf and among the mountains, in Greenville, Pickens, and Spartanburg Districts. These abide with the planters. In Cashier Valley, and in that vicinity generally, there are said to be a goodly number of persons from the middle and lower parts of the State. Beyond the line, at Flat Rook, there are large numbers from below. This appears to be the favorite resort. _ Eoonomy regulates these things now, largely more than ever before.

Orangeburg, impoverished as she has been?burned and divested of almost every vestige of what was once oar beautiful village, by that incendiary and robber?Sher man?still oontinues to improve. Phoenix-like she has reared her head in the form of large, elegant and airy stores, and this day presents a better appearance than before the war. Although business is doll?very dull? the hammer, the saw, and the plane, has for the last twelve months been sounding in our ears from Monday morning till Saturday night. The roar and tumble of timbers and planks,?of drays and carts, passing in rapid succession to and fro over our dusty streets, would certainly impress tbe passing stranger of a vast deal of business done here. At this moment there are six large1 twostory houses under contract, which are intended for Dry Goods and Grocery Stores. On some, the finishing touch is already being applied; and the others will be ready to open for the fall trade. Five of these large buildings are on Russell street, and one on Market street; all lying around or in close proximity to tbe Court House Square, or what is oommonly known as "down Town " And still the improvements continue. The painter's brush is seen busily employed, from early dawn to oaodle-light, converting the whole frame of art into beautiful pearly white', giving to our town an air of elegance and attraction. Beautiful shade trees have been planted in all the principal streets by the individual exertions of enterprising citizens, thus , taking the places of old ancestral trees, now charred stomps, reminiscences of the waste and ruin of that cruel and heartless I m?A?Al> Chormon | WlUVUUj WUV? ?*???

It is very evident that the radicals realise the importance whioh attaches to the campaign now going on in Pennsylvania. They seem to be at work, and are manifesting a determination to oarry the State; mass meetings are being held in various localities, and all the nsual devices resorted to < for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm for ! their ticket. Torch-light processions, Obi- 1 nese lanterns and illuminations are again ! being brought into play, showing that the Bantu is one of the molt earnest and spirited that has taken plaoe in the State for jeveral years. It is not probable that the radicals will be able to scatter the greenbacks around as profusely as tbeylffdin*tfie last gubernatorial oontest; for the VCTfeT ^ sow over, and the artsy contractors, who ? were so plenty in that State, have not the ^ inducement to furnish the gtoenfcMtt 4 i which they had at that period.
