Philadelphia Press: “Yes, sir; so far as I know—aud I think I know all about it—I’m the last living represent ative of the profession—the last man alive in the United State who made a business of selling niggers from the auction block. I’m 72 years old now, and I guess my time has nearly come.” Thus spoke old Jack Campbell as he filled his glass for a fourth time at a Broad street bar, and leaned back pgainst the counter to open up his budget of reminiscence neVer qlilt Ituntil the War broke I Iiave sold niggers in Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Louisville, Mobile, New Orleans, Memphis, and all along the other towns of the South. I don’t blow my own trumpet—you know that on their own merits modest men are dumb— but I can say that Jack Campbell had the reputation for showing up the good poiuts of a ‘buck’ or a ‘wench’ aud drawing out bids that made him in demand wherever there was a big sale. The nigger traders have made' me travel 500 miles to run off a lot for them, and they paid me my own price for my work. “How many have I sold? I was in the business some twenty-five years and I guess I s’ways handled 500 to 600 a year. You can count up for yourself how many that makes.

Shaving, Hair Cutting and nigger was $9,000 for a devilish pretty quadroon wench that I sold in Louis ville about 1852 or 1853. She was only 18, and was about as white as you or me, aud her two children had light, curly .hair. Her master lived down near Bowling Green, and, though he didn’t want to part with her, he was so down on his luck that he had to sell her. I heard, too, that his wife swore that nigger must leave the plautatiou or she would go home to her family. My instructions were not to take less than $0,000 for the girl, and I was to get a big percentage on all over that, so when they put her on the block 1 talked her up for all she was worth. “There was more than twenty men bidding for her, aud the fellow that got her for $9,000 was a rich and gay young bachelor from Tennesseee who happened to be in the city on a spree, aud was attracted by curiosity to the sale. He Mas a little driuky, and wasn’t earing anything forhis ducats. He was so set ou having the girl I believe he would have given $20,000 for her if anybody bid her up that high.

Augusta, Me., Nov. 18.—A large number of personal and political friends of Blaine sarenuded him this evening as an expression of personal good will and admiration of his con duct of the national campaign. They marched through the streets under the marshalship of Col. Frank Nye. When they reached Blaine’s house their compliments and friendly re gards were expressed in a speech by Herbert M. Heath, of the Kennebec bur. Blaine responded as follows, his speech being continually interrupted by applause: Friends and neighbors, the national contest is over, and by the narrowest of margins we have lost. I thank you for your call, which, if not one of joyous congratulations, Is one I am sure of confidence and of sanguine hope for the future. I thank you for the public opportunity you give me to express my sense of obligation not only to you but to all the Republicans of Maine. They responded to my nomination with genuine enthusiasm, ratified it by a superb vote. I count it as one of the honors aud gratifica tions of my public career that the party in Maine after struggling hard for the last six years, and twice within that period losing the State, has come back in this campaign to an old-fushioued 20,000 plurality. No other expression of popular confidence and esteem could equal that of the people among whom I have lived for thirty years, and to whom I am at tached by all the ties that ennoble human nature aud give joy aud dig nity to life. After Maine, indeed along with Maine, my first thought is always of Pennsylvania. How can I fittingly express iny thanks for that unparal leled majority of more than 80,000 votes, an endorsement which has deeply touched my heart and which has, if possible, increased my affec tion for that grand old commonwealth, an affection which I inherited from my ancestry and which I shall traus- mitto my children. But I do not limit my thanks to the State of my residence and the State of my birth. I owe much to the true and zealous friends in New England who worked so nobly for the Republi can party and its candidates, and to the eminent scholars and divines who, stepping aside from their ordinary avocations, made my cause their cause, and to loyalty to principle ad ded the special compliment of stand ing as my personal representatives in tjy’je nation, se in the Ea^are^^ su^^HHpv the splendid victor!' th^^mitTlu that magniffeeut cordon of States that stretches from the foot hills of the Alleghanies to the golden gate of the Paciftc, beginning with Ohio and ending with California, the Republican banner was borne so lofty that but a single State failed to join ru the wide acclaim of triumph. Nor should I do justice to my own feelings if I failed to thunk the Re publicans of the Empire State, who encountered so many discouragements and obstacles, who fought foes from within foes from without, and who waged so strong a buttle that the change of one vote in every 2,000 would have given us victory in the nation. Indeed a change of a little more than 5,000 votes would have transferred New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut to the Repub lican standard and would have made the North as solid as the South. My thanks would still be incom plete if I should fail to recognize with special gratitude that great body of workingmen, both native and foreign born, who gave me their earnest sup port, breaking from old personal and party ties and finding iu the princi ples which I represented in the can vass, the safeguard and protection of their own fireside interests. The result of the election, my friends, will be regarded in the future, I think, as extraordinary. The North ern States, leaving out the cities of New York and Brooklyn from the count, sustained the Republican cause by a majority of more than 400,000. Almost half a million indeed of the popular vote of the cities of New York and Brooklyn threw their great streugtii and influence with the Solid South and were the decisive element which gave to that section the con trol of the National Government. Speaking now, not at all as a defeat ed candidate, but as a loyal aud de voted American, I think the transfer of the political power of the Govern ment to the South is a great national misfortune. It is a misfortune, be cause it introduces an element which cannot insure harmony and prosperi ty to the people, because it introduces into the Republic the rule of the mi nority. The first instinct of an Amer ican is equality—equality of right, equality of privilege, equality of po litical power, that equality which says to every citizeu: “Your vote just as good, just as potential as the vote of any oilier citizen.” That cannot be said to-day in the United States. The course of affairs liou white population and 5,.”>00,000 colored population. The colored pop ulation almost to a man desire to sup port the Republican party, but by a system of cruel intimidation, and by violence and murder, whenever via* lenceand murder are thought neces sary, they are absolutely deprived of all political power. If the outrage stopped there it would be bad enough, but it does not stop there, for not only is the negro population disfranchised, but the power which rightfully and constitutionally belongs to them is transferred to the white population, enabling the white population of the South to exert an electoral influence far beyond that exerted by the same m.mber of white people in the North. ^o illustrate just bow it works to the destruction of all fair elections, let me present to you five loyal States of the North, possessing for each sec tion the same number of electoral votes. In the South the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina have in the aggregate forty-eight electoral votes. They have just 2,800,000 white people and over 3,000,000 colored peo ple. In the North the States of Wis consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and California have likewise an aggregate of forty-eight electoral votes, and these have a white population of 5,600,000, or just double the five South ern States which I have named. These Northern States have practically no colored population. It is, therefore, evident that the white men in those Southern States, by^ursurping and ab sorbing the rights of tho colored men, are exerting just double the political power of tho white men in the North ern States. I submit, my friends, that such a condition of affairs is extraordinary, unjust and derogatory to the manLpod of the North. Even those who are vindictively opposed to negro suffrage will not deny that if Presidential electors are assigned to the South bv reason of the negro population, that population ought to be permitted free suffrage in an election. To deny that clear proposition is to atfinu that the Southern white man iu the Gulf States Is entitled to double the politi cal power of the Northern white man iu the Lake States. It is to affirm that the Confederate soldier shall wield twice the influence in the na tion that the Union soldier can, and that perpetual and constantly increas ing superiority shall be conceded to the Southern white man in the Gov ernment of the Union. If that be quietly conceded in this generation it will harden into custom until the badge of inferiority will attach to the Northern white man as odiously as (Wer Kqj——It upon oernts as unchallenged and as unre strained as they held the same posi tion for thirty years before the civil war. Gentlemen, there cannot be po- ’ litical inequality among citizens of a free Republic. There cannot be a minority of white men in the South ruling a majority of white men iu the North. Patriotism, self-respeot, State pride, protection of person and safety for the country, all cry out against It. The very thought of it stirs the blood of meu who in herit equality from the Pilgrims who first stood on Plymouth Rock and from the liberty-loving patriots who came to the Delaware with William Penn. It becomes a permanent ques tion of American manhood. It de mands a hearing and settlement, and that settlement will vindicate tho equality of American citizens iu all personal and civil rights. It will, ut least, establish the equality of white meu under the National Goverumcut, and give to the Northern mau who fought to preserve the Union aa large a voice in its government as may bo exercised by the Soutbern man who fought to destroy the Union. The contest just closed utterly dwarfs the fortunes and fate of candi dates, whether successful or unsuc cessful. Purposely, I may say In- stinctly, I have discussed the issues and consequences of that contest without reference to my own defeat, without the remotest reference to the gentleman who is elevated to the Presidency. Towards him, personal ly, I have no cause for the slightest ill-will, and it is with cordiality I ex press the wish that his official career may prove gratifying to himself and beneficial to the country, and that his administration may overcome the em barrassment which the peculiar source of its power impressed upon it from the hour of its birth. At the conclusion of Blaine’s speech he invited the large crowd into his house aud for nearly an hour informal reception was held. ^ject^ls of deep .Interest aboring men of the North. With the Southern Democracy triumphant in their States and in the nation, the negroes will be compelled to work for just such wages as the whites may de cree, wages which will amount, as did the supplies of the slaves, to a bare subsistence, equal in cash, perhaps, to 36 cents per day, if averaged over the entire South. The white laborer in the North will soon feel the destructive effect of this upon his own wages. The Republicans have clearly seen from the earliest days of reconstruc tion wages in the South must be raised to the just recompense of the laborer, or wages in the North be ruin ously lowered, and the party has steadily worked for the former result. A reverse influence will be now set iu motion, aud that condition of affairs produced which years ago Mr. Lincoln warned the free laboring men of the North, will prove hostile to their in dependence and will inevitably lead to a ruinous reduction of wages. A mere difference in the color of the skin will not suffice for maintaining 1 an entirely different standard o wages in contiguous and adjacent 1 States, and tho voluntary will be com pelled to yield to the involuntary. So completely have tho colored men in the South been already deprived The Battle of Moumoutli. The celebration of the battle of Monmouth, at Freehold, New Jersey, recently, has revived many interest ing reminiscences of that famous tight. The Americans came very near losing the battle on account of the singular conductor Gen. Charles Lee, Washington’s second in command. Washington ordered Lee to advance and attack, unless there should be very powerful reasons to the contrary, assuring him of prompt and efficient support. In a short time he learned to his astonishment, that Lee’s divis ion had not met the enemy and was in full retreat. Ridiiig up to^Lee, replied,^SlTTl know of no one exhibits more of that rascally virtue than yoUt excellency.” All the his torians agree that Washington used rather warm language, 'and tradition says that he made the air blue with profanity. Lee afterwards said that “he swore like an angel from heaven.” Lee finally obeyed orders knd went into battle with his men. Neither side gained a decisive advantage, but the British retired during the night. Lee never forgot Washington’s wrath at Monmouth, and years later refused to shake hands with him. He was a strange character, an Englishman by birth, aud not related t<> the Virginia Lee’s. His connection with the Amer ican army was more ou account of his love of adventure, than from any patriotic motives. His conduct at Monmouth has been attributed not tu treachery, but to his personal dislike of the commander In chief.

Few persons in the North realize how completely the chiefs of the Re bellion wield the political power which has triumphed in the late elec tion. It is a portentous fact that the Democratic Senators who came from the States of the late Confederacy, all, and I mean all, without a single ex ception, personally participated iu the rebellion against the National Gov ernment. It is a still more siguiffcuut fact that iu those States no man who was loyal to the Union, no matter how- strong a Democrat he may be to-day, has the slightest chance of political promotion. The one great avenue to honor in that section is tho record of zealous service iu the war against the Government. It is certainly an astounding fact that the section in which friendship for the Union iu the day of its trial and agony is still a political fiisquali- fication, should be called now' to rule over the Union. All this takes place during the lifetime of the generation that fought the war, and elevates into the practical command of the Ameri can Government, the identical men who organized for its destruction and plunged us into the bloodiest contest of modern times. I have spoken of the South as placed by the late election in posses- ing hills. Similar questions ought to engage the attention of the people and authorities in every country. The slums ought to be abolished. We complain of drunkenness in this country, but in England the evil has assumed much larger proportions. There drunkenness among women is appalling. Out of thirteen drunken persons brought before a London Mag istrate a few days ago ten were wo men, and of 17,000 persons apprehend ed during twelve months in Liverpool, 7,000 were women.

In the quarter of a century that lies between, they have but once eome near to success, aud that was with a bachelor—Tilden—for their can didate. ^ The Atlanta Constitution, in speak ing of the Solid South, wisely says: “Those of our people who talk of hearing no more of tho Solid South do not speak advisedly. There is no hope for the prosperity of this section, no peace for either race, save in the clear, unmistakable domination of the white race. There is no wisdom save in the white people of the South standing squarely and solidly together on a platform of conservative government and equal rights to all men. When ever the white people of the South split into factions and stand, with the negroes between them holding the balance of power, and each faction bidding for their votes, then wc shall have lost more than Cleveland’s elec tion ha* gained for us.”
