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

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

will find abundant and profitable ground o:
activity for some time to come.

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. But thirteen appearances of meteorit
showers are recorded since the year 903.

There is an entire stagnation in the politcal

I Conservative Union, and Republican, are
1 straggling in a desperate oontest for su1

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

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

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

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."
"Beast" Butler is constantly receiving
left-handed compliments. An artist in
Richmond has recently drawn his "picter."

his neck, a basket on eaoh arm filled with

forks, dishes sod spoons, and in front is

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. The results of i
the Prussian organization and armament
have been so astounding that there is no i
disposition to dispute her success and her i
terms so long as there is inferiority in arms i

letaohed from her alllanoe before Franoe
says her last word in this business. These
ire times of anxiety for little States and
Prinoes.
"The governing aristocratio classes?the
best society?have been naturally Austrian
in the late war. They were jealous for their
privileges, caste and all that; but you see
the direction the masses have taken and the
results. The great questions of nationalities,
of popular rights and divine rights, are
not yet settled. We shall have a breathing
spell for a while?unless internal diffisulties
in Austria or Turkey light the fires

that little country the soenes in the German
Principalities, where the Prinoes scampered
off with the full assent of their people.?
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. De Yankeys says I'se

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

Springe, we bear, bat very few pleasure
seekers. The mineral value of the waters
is the great attraction to suob visitors as are
quartered there. 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.
We shall have something more specific
about several of these localities in a week
or so.
FBOM ORANGEBURG.
OftANQKBURG, AugUSt 80tb.
Dear Enquirer.?Notwithstanding hard
tin?/><> tiQP fair An overv nnfl nantivp. and
gloomy and desponding countenances seem
to pervade the community, over the entire
length and breadth of our Southern land,
a cheering thought buoys me up, and whispers
"there is life in the old land yet."
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

The Campaign in Pennsylvania.?
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. But what
they lack in greenbacks, tbcy are evidently
trying to make np is noise sbd enthusiasm.

multitude greeted him with every demonstration
of honor, as has been the nana at
Auburn, Utiea, Caoandiagua, Geneva nod

place may be described u a succession of
ovations.
Yesterday, at Auburn, a little boy, named
Biohardson, rushed toward the carriage to
shake bands with Grant and fell dowa, Md
his leg was shattered. Last: night be seat
word to Secretary Seward, that hq was anxious
to see Gen. Grant. The latter was
much affected by the cireainstance, and, in
company with Sugeon-General Barnes, called
to see the little sufferer, and consoled
him, telling him in n.^ megg
