PL 1 whetstones as fine as Turkey stone, all of which would be profitable if they were worked, and would add to our wealth and resources. Yet they lie idle, all for the want of a general knowledge of their extent and valne. Providence has placed them here for our use, and nature holds them in store for us. If we sit idle over our mineral and manufacturing resources, here and through the Piedmont region of this State, the opportunity for enriching outside capitalists will be seized upon. The Air-Line Railroad is the gateway that is open to these enterprises. Let the Southern people get rich by availing themselves of their means, and not wait for Northern capital, but concentrate our means, if it is small, and as we advance we will be able to add to our capital. Organization is what we need so much to develope us in our different interests. I will also mention the flexible sandstone that is found here, which is a mineral curiosity in itself. Imagine a substance in appearance like a rock, that will give and is as elastic as a piece of leather. It has no value, but is an indication of diamonds, wherever found. We have had a great deal of rain this week; our water courses have been high. Farmers are idle in consequence. So we get to see our neighbors in town. Wheat is being harvested and will yield a full crop. Thus far it has not been injured by the rains. The oat crop is much improved, though cotton is unpromising. Many of our farmers have plowed up their cotton and replanted in corn. The Baptist Sunday-school, with their teachers and scholars, went out last Saturday on a fishing excursion to Broad river. Each one carried a basket of provisions. After p* roaming along the banks of the river for awhile they met at a spring near the river and spread out their cakes, and other dainties, on the green grass beneath the cool shades, and bad quite an enjoyment, socially. The scenery that met the eye, here was sublime. The river Could be seen for some distance, wending its way through the spurs and peaks of Whitaker and King's Mountain, that lost themselves on each side in the blue distance. At this point was Adair's ferry, that brings to our recollection the incidents of the bloody scenes of the Revolution, as here was the field of Horseshoe Robinson's heroic exploits, and this his place of crossing the river. Near by is the grave of Colonel Williams, who fell . mortally wounded at the battle of King's Mountain. He was brought as far before he died, as where is now the residence of A. Hardin, Esq., where his comrades in arms carried and buried him. His grave is marked by a rude stone. Mr. J. B. Mintz now owns the land where he rests, and has left a cluster of the natural growths around the grave. This is established, beyond a doubt, as being his grave, by a reliable train of testimony gotten up by A. Hardin, Esq. Our party returned in the evening, from their fishing excursion, well sprinkled by a heavy rain. They object to sprinkling, but never to a ducking. Ego. GOVERNOR TILDEN SPEAKS AT LAST. At an ovation given Mr. Hendricfcs, in New York, last week, on the occasion of his departure for Europe, Governor Tilden made a brief speech which i3 reported as follows: Everybody knows that after the recent election the men who were elected by the people President and Vice-President of the United States were "counted out," and men who were not elected "counted in" and seated. I disclaim any thought of the personal wrong involved in this transaction. Not by any act or word of mine shall that be degraded into a personal grievance, which in truth is the greatest wrong that has stained our national aunals. To every man of the four and a quarter millions who were defrauded of the fruits of their elective franchise, it is as great a wrong as it is to me, and no less to every IMP- man of the minority will the ultimate consequences extend. Evils in government grow by success and impurity. They do not arrest their own progress. They can never be limited except by external forces. If the men in possession of the government can in one instance maintain themselves in power agaiust an adverse decision at the elections, such an example will be imitated, .Temptation exists always: devices to nive the color of law and false pretences on which to found fraudulent decisions will not be wanting. The wrong will grow into a practice if once condoned. In the world's history, changes in the succession of governments have usually beeu theresuit of fraud or force. It has been our faith and our pride that we had established a mode of peaceful change to be worked out by the agency of the ballot box. The question now is whether our elective system, in its substance as well as its form, is to be maintained. This is the question of questions. Until it is finally settled there can be no politics founded on inferior questions of administrative policy. It involves the fundamental right of the people, it iuvolves the elective principle, it involves the whole system of popular government. The people must signally condemn the great wrong which has been done to them. They must strip the example of everything that can rattractdmitatioqs, /I-bey must refuse a prosperous immunity to crime.. This is not all. The people will not be able to trust t^e authors or beneficiaries of the wrong to' devise remedies, but when those who condemn the wrong shall have the power they must devise the measure which shall render a repetition of the wrong forever impossible. If my voice con Id reach throughout our country and be beard in its remotest hamlet, I would say: be of good cheer, the Republic will live, the institutions of our fathers are not to expire in shame; the 'sovereignty of the:people shall be rescued from this peril and re-established. Successful wrong never appears so triumphant as on the very eve of its fall. Seven years ago a.corrupt dynasty culminated in its power over the million of people who live in the /??tv r?f Now Ynrlc. It had conauered or bribed or flattered and won almost everybody into acquiescence. It appeared to be invincible. A year or two later its members were in the penitentiaries or in exile. History abounds in similar examples?we must believe in the right and in the future. A great and noble nation will not sever its political from its moral life. Mr. Hendricks was also called upon, and after returning thanks for the honor done him, rmade a brief address. Alluding to the Presidential election he said : The result as declared iq Louisiana and in Florida, and at Washington, is not and cannot be made satisfactory to the country, for the obvious reason that it was not true. A great and sincere people will rest their final judgment only upon the truth, and never upon frauds successful through technicality. Even should the President aud his Cabinet adopt a part or the whole of the policies and purposes for which the Democratic party has bfcsn contending for many years, and whioh became so distinctly defined last year, even that cannot remove or quiet the public discontent. The Democrats will make no factious opposition, nor will they seek to embarrass the de facto administration, but will sustain it in what is right, and for the welfare of the country, and not at all because of any fealty to the party that stands defeated aqjd condemned by the people. The people cannot allow the selection of their Chief Magistrate to become a thing of chance, or of sharp practice. The fraud now first triumphant in W American history must be assigned to its L'/ proper place araoug the crimes against popuI lar government, and made so odious that no I* party will dare to attempt its repetition. I who is made President must be inaugurated. F i UntiLtbat is settled and made sore no Democrat can be seduced from his devotion and allegiance in any way, not by allurements of office, nor even by the strong appeal :in the i abandonment by the administration of vicious principles and dangerous policies and the adoption of better doctrines and ?jdst measures. Democrats will not entrust their most cherished principles to the keeping of a power which is attained by vicious and corrupt means. They will rather continue their faith in the right of the majority to rule in accordance with Constitutional provisions. ' All Democrats rejoice with unbounded joy, that free republican governments are once more allowed in the States of South Carolina and Louisiana. They rejoice in the good fruits that must follow. They know that peace and good order will prevail, that capital will be made secure, and labor safe, contented and happy, that enterprise will revive, and the cruel burdens of the government and public corruption will be lifted from the shoulders of labor, and that production will increase and lands advance in price. But they know that in the language of liov. Morton it had become "inevitable." Good government in the States was not a free-will offering upon the altars of the country. For years the Democrats had contended in Congress aud before the people for free Republican States throughout the South, and finally it became "inevitable," because the right and truth were too strong to longer be suppressed. In this the Democrats find a reason to stand more firmly with their party. Out of power, with no patronage to dispense and no money to distribute, but animated by the spirit of our institutions, inspired by the sentiment of the right of local self-government as inherent in the people, the Democratic party, during the past ten years, has restored one State after another until now the tread of soldiers is heard in no legislative hall, but in every State the people are governed by laws of their own enacting and by officers of their own choosing. Mr. Hendricks concluded with the declaration that this occasion had more than a personal significance. It proclaimed that we had no sectional sentiment, no eastern or western policies, the east and the west and the south were one, a wise and just policy, would alike ensure the prosperity of each. 4 ? 4 ?
