Virginia Itt publican Convention.
RICHMOND, August 2.-The Convention reassem?
bled on the 8qaare at 10 o'clock.
About 2000 colored porsons wiro present, aud
200 whites. Dr. Boyne, colored, from Norfolk,
moved that as the work of tho Convention was du?
mbed, it do now adjourn stn? die. Mr. Hunnicutt
opposed the motion for adjournment.
The reason of adjourning yestorday to to-day
was to give Botte and others who had not part iel
Ea ted m tho proceedings on opportunity to be
card. He hoped the Conventions were not afraid
to bear what they had to say. If there was any
political tomahawk between Botts ana thc Ropub
can party, it was now buried. The party would
carry the State by thirty thousand majority, and
that ship was lirgo enough to carry all shades of
party differences. I"Cries of "yea].'"
The speaker favored disfranchising only thoso
rebels who would talk against Congress and the
Republican party, and would not, liko Longstreet,
work in any harness for reconstruction and peace.
At this point there were loud crios for Botts,
who appeared, and recoivod three cheers fi om tho
crowd; and then followed a scene of confusion. A
colored speaker attempted to address them, but
was cried down with shouts of "Vote the resolu?
tion down," "Vote it up," "Vote Botts down." Dr.
Boyne said ho believed that tho wing of the
party represented by Botts wanted, witltfut min?
gling in the Convention, to speak undor ?ts
auspices. A vote was then taken, and the Con?
vention adjourned sine die with great cheering.
A mass meeting was than organized, and Botts,
who had maintaino } his stand, addressed them.
He said he was no intruder, but carno as a mem?
ber of the Republican Party. It had been circula?
ted that he had written letters, denouncing Nor?
thern men in Virginia as squatters. Tho charge
was unfounded. For thirty years, ho had stood
by him ; so much so, os to make him odious with
hui own party. With reference to having been
unwilling at ene time, since the war, to give the
blacks suffrago, he said ho hod only been so, bo
cause he knew if tho negro was given suffrage
before ho had protection, his vote would only
strengthen the Democratic party, or ho would
be shot down in tho streets for attempting to vote
with tho Republicans. He had not attended the
Convention of April because he thought ho could
do moro good out of it ; ho endorsed its platform,
and so did his frionds: he had como to tho city to
attend tho present Convention, but had b'con
crowded out; whether by accident cr design ho
could not soy. They would bavo accepted tho
platform. He warned tho meeting not to bo de?
ceived by demagogues ia tho belief that they hold
all power. The Democrats of Virginia will not re?
sist Republicans now; but wait t?l they get back
into the Union. We will need every man to fight
then.
We must not drive any man away from
(Cries of "No-no, wc won't.") Ho then road an
address to the people, and a platform, which, he
said, had met the approval of Judgo Underwood
and Mr. Hunnicutt.
The address recites events since the closo of the
war, and the conduct of the Southern people, led
on by Johnson's policy, which has delayed recon?
struction.
Mr. George Rye, of Shenandoah, moved to en?
dorse the address and platform, but the motion
met such violent opposition, that it was with?
drawn.
Here a loud voice announced that a speaker who
was opposing the endorsement ot the meeting had
stolon a horse from a one-armed negro. This cre?
ated groat confusion. Tho speaker carno up the
capitol steps to confront the accuser, and a crowd
of blacks surgod up after him. Everything looked
like a riot for some minutes, but tho matter was
settled by the accuser explaining that he had mis?
heard and could not vouch for tho charge.
Gov. Foil-point made a very brief speech, follow?
ed by L. H. Chandler, District Attorney, Rev. Mr.
Gives, colored, Lewis Scott, colored, and others.
The following resolutions wero introduced aud
unanimously adopted:
Who reas, tho loyal American citizens will soon
be required to select a representativo man as
their candidato for the omeo now hold by tho
chance President of thc United States, and as tho
late war has placed tho Republican party, as well
as the nation, under obligations to many dis?
tinguished Generals for the service the; rendered
iu tho desperate struggle for liberty i nd great?
ness, and as the names of Generals Gra.it, Sheri?
dan. Thomas, Butler, Sickles, Logan and Scho?
field!, and the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Thaddeus
Stevens and Henry Wilson*, are prominently held
up as among tho most deserving in connection
with tho said office; therefore,
Resolved, That wo endorse the action of Goneral
Sheridan, in his efforts to execute the laws of tho
country, considering the embarrassment thrown
around him by tho President.
Resolved, That the Republican party look for?
ward to such acts of ptotection as General Sheri?
dan and other Generals are extending to them,
with great hopo in the future of the country; and
that we, as a party, now give notice that when thc
proper time arrives to nominate a candidate for
President anl vice-President of tho United States,
we wUl givo all such aots of protection to the loyal
people cf tho South, their duo consideration.
Speaking was continued at thc meeting until it
was nearly dark, wheu it adjourned.

CHARLESTON, August 2.
Dii'.or oj the News :
DEAR SIB : Tho communication handed you to?
day is a true and correct version of the assault that
was made on Messrs. Aimstrong and Thompson,
in Columbia, a few nights ago. I myself wrote out
both thc affidavit of Mr. Armstrong in tho case,
and the warrant of arrest for the young men, who
wore both too drunk to understand mo whon I
went to them to remonstrate on their conduct.
More tLan this-Messrs. Armstrong and Thomp?
son, both in tho presence of Governor Orr, myself
and other gentlemen, not only acquiesced in thc
views that I urged on them, why the civil authori?
ties should take charge of tho case in preference
to tho military, but expressed their decided appro?
val of it; and I havo no hesitation in asserting that
Mr. Thompson does not himself believe what ho
published thia morning in the Courier over his own
signature.
Respectfully yours, Sec.,
JAMES G. GIBBES.
COLUMBIA, Slst July, 18G7.
2b the Editor of the Charleston Dairy News:
For the last two or three days, tho quiet of our
usually undisturbed lifo has boon unsettled by an
incident which bids fair to become, under tho
adroit manipulation of political agitators, a thorne
upon which Radical presses and speakers through?
out tho North will dwell with pejuliar unction.
Tho circumstances aro as follows: Two young
mon respectively named WILLIAM ABMSTBONO: and
J. C. THOMPSON, havo boen for several days in Co?
lumbia-the first as a stump orator and agent of
the Executive Central Congressional Union Com?
mittee of Washington, and tho other as a quasi
newspaper correspondent, purporting to represent
the New York Times and a paper in Cleveland,
Ohio.
During the afternoon of Sunday {after 4 o'clock),
they were drinking icod champagne-at least they
purchased it from the bar of Nickcrson'd Hotel.
At 8 o'clock, on loaving the supper tal lo. ARM?
STRONG entered tho bar to obtain segara.
Whilo getting a light, as ho says in his affidavit,
he "observed two men, named CHAULES RADCLIFFE
and OWEN DALY, who seemed to be intoxicated."
At any rato "th? bar-keeper was urging them to
go out." Ono of tho two used au expression which
ABMSTBONO did not understand, and immediately
threw ibo contents of his glass into tho face cf
Mr. A. Tho latter turned and asked, "What docs
this mean, sir ?" Whereupon ho was struck in the
face. A scufJlo onsuod, which may be described
as nothing more nor loss than a bar-room fight.
It lasted perhaps for half a minute Mr. HAMIL?
TON, tho representativo of Mr. NICKEBSON, Mr.
HAMILTON'S son, and Mr. VBOMAN, an omployeo of
?he house, now succeeded in getting hold of U.w>
TLFFFE and DALT, who wero crazy drunk, but un?
fortunately THOMPSON had torn down a small bar
bar's pole in the hall and was advancing on RAD?
CLIFFE, when DALT, breaking loose, closed on him
a second timo, and they wont to tho floor together.
THOMPSON "hollered," and Mr. VBOMAN, rushing up,
pulled DALT off. ABMSTBONO meanwhile bud, as
lie informed mo, received a pocket-knife from
THOMSON, but did not uso it. This was tho only
weapon displayed during tho rcw. About HUB
time, say within four or five minutos from the be?
ginning of tho difficulty, THOMPSON rushed np
tho hall crying, "Murder, niurQer," and
"Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, wou't somebody help
us," or some similar remark; but ABMSTBONO
ivas Bravely giving battle lo his assailants in a
manner which showed that ho was abundantly
?blo to take caro of himself. This cowardly abandon?
ment of his friend ABMSTBONG by THOMSON (who
had scarcely a scratch upon his face, and had lost
only a few hairs from his goatee), especially wbiio
Ihren of tho attaches of tho hotol were trying to
seize and hold DALT and RADCLIFFE, has not crea?
ted aa much respect for his prowess as for that of
his companion. Tho row now ceased, not moro
than five or seven minutos having boen consumed
in tho performance.
In five minutes more Gov. OBB, who lives in tho
hotel, had despatched messengers for a magis?
trate and tho poUce, and before twelve o'clock
DALY and RADCLIFFE wore under arrest, tho arrest
being effected by no less a person than tho brothor
of RADCLIFFE, who is Chief of tho Police. Under
the laws of tho Stato they were admitted to bail in
the sum of three hundred dollars each, tho lather
of ono, and, I think, the employer of tho other
being tho bondsmen, both responsible parties.
Tho next morning Messrs. ABMSTBONO and
THOMPSON made a formal complaint to tho military
authorities, and General BUBTON promptly caused
their re-arrest. On Monday Dight RADCLIFFE and
DALY sent an apology to tho gentlemen above
named, stating that in their sober moments they
de ;ired to acknowledge that tho assault was
"utterly unpremeditated and uninfluenced by any
other excitement than drunkenness. Of our own
accord we provoked thc quarrel, and without any
conspiracy or combination suggested by others
in this community, wo mado an assault upon tho
gentlemen who art aggriovod. Wc also express to
Jlessrs. ABMSTBONO and THOMPSON oar regrets for
auy injury done them, and beg they will consider
tho attack os only tho res Lilt of a drunken brawl.''
Ou Tuesday morning a meeting of the ?tizona
was held for tho purpose of expressing tho sense
of the community, and tho preamble and resolu?
tion which follows was signed by the Mayor, city
and State officials and respectable citizens :
"Whereas, an unprovoked assault was mado by
two of the young mon of Columbia upon thc per?
sons of J. C. AKMSTBONO aud J. C. THOMPSON in
tho bar-room of NICKEBSON'S hotel, while tho
said young mcu were iu a condition of
intoxication; and whereas they have addresicd a
lotter to Messrs. AHMSTB INO and THOMPSON, amply
apologizing tor tho wrong done, and disclaiming
any premeditation ol' action; and whereas tho civil
authorities promptly arrested tho offenders within
three hours of their assault, and llius demon?
strated tho vigilance which they over desire to
employ iu preserving peace.
We, as citrons of Columbia, in public meeting
assembled, take this occasion to express our dis?
approval and censure of thc assault committed,
and the hope that the military authorities will be
satisfied with thc evidence we have given Hint wc
shall protect all men iu tho enjoyment of their
sovoral pursuits and professions.
hr-sotved, That it is tho duty of the civil author?
ities to make a full and thorough investigation of
thc facts in tho ceso and to award such punish?
ment as may bo nccassary,
Amoug tho signers are Hon. W. F. DESAUKSUBK,
Captain WATIXS, Clerk of the Court of Appeals;
Col. F. W. MCMASTER, Major D. B. MILLEB, Clerk
of the Court, and Hon. 8. L. LEAPHABT, Comp?
troller-General of tho State.
With this expression of sontimcnt by thc com?
munity and with thc apology of the young
men, Mr. ABMSTBONO declared bis satisfac?
tion, ar.d observed that wore not t'.io mat?
ter now In tho hands of General SICKLES,
he would not press? trial before a military com?
mission. THOMPSON, on tho other hand, who is a
weak-minded person, is busy with his pen and tho
. telegraph lines magnifying a bar-room brawl into
a premeditated riot.
lt is to be hoped that tho public voice uttered in
tho resolutions above written, will assure the peo
pie of thc North and the military authorities that
we do not moro doplore tho event than desire to
vindicate civ? law.
That political opinion, thc character of tho mon
a9Baultcd, or tho objoct of thoir mission, had any?
thing to do with tho affair, is simply absurd. Be?
fore ARMSTRONG entered tho barroom, DALY had
his coat off and was talking about his ability to
whip any .Jody, as ARMSTRONG in his affidavit him?
self confesses, "intoxicated;" end this intoxication
was so intense and uncontrolablo, that within two
minutes after tho affair, ho attempted to break
loose and assail Govornor ORR, who was ascending
thc stairs. Men in such a condition aro not apt to
have much premeditation about them; and if they
had sought tho quarrel, weapons would have been
used.
From beginning to end there was no semblance
of a riot, and tho only crowd gathered was thc
eight or ton colored waiters of tho hotel quietly
looking on during tho fight; and sometime during
tho night, tho appeatanco of a number of colored
mon who went to tho rooms of Messrs. ARMSTRONG
?ind THOMPSON, which so frightened tho latter that
he immediately dispatched a messenger to head?
quarters to secure tho services of a military guard,
and thc guard was furnished.
The party were carried to Charleston this morn?
ing. Tho trial is named for August 1st. but it is
extremely doubtful if anything more can bo mado
out of thc affair than that it was a mero unpre?
meditated and unprovoked bar-room encounter.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM IIO.V. B, P.
PERRY.
To die Editor of the Columbia Phixnix:
Tho action of thc rump Congress, tho other
day, in extra session, ought to convince every ono
that tho lUdical party have no intention of restor?
ing tno Union until thc Southern States are thor?
oughly Radicalized, and will ele .-t Senators and
members of tho Houso of that party. Thc Ken?
tucky representatives -nino in number, and all
Democrats-have been denied their scats in Con?
gress, simply because thoy were not Black Re?
publicans, ?f tho Southern States, under the re?
construction policy of Prosidont Johnson, had
elected Radisais, and givon any assurance of their
adhesion to that party, no ono can suppose that
thoir representatives would have been excluded
from Congress. In tho fall of 1804, ono of the
first things dono by Congress was to purgo tho
Senate, and exclude Democrats onough from that
bodv to give them a two-thirds majority.
The question will be for tho pcoplo of tho South?
ern States to decide, in tho coming elections,
whether thoy prefer to romain as they are, or by
calling conventions, adopting negro suffrago and
olecting Radicals, go back into tho Union. What
advantage to tho South will it bo to increaso thc
Black Republican majority in Congress? How can
we bo benoQtted by strengthening tho hands of
our oppressors ? what interost can we possibly
have in being represented in Congress by traitors
to thc South-men whom we must scorn and de
spiso as Judas Iscariots in politics? It is a sad
and melancholy reflection on human nature, to
seo men who inaugurated tho war, and woro going
to dio in the last dil ch, now seeking to go back
into the Union, stripped of every principio and
right which thoy vowotl to defend, with Black Re?
publican collars around their necks. How dis?
gusting to Boo base, unprincipled whito men
Booking office and position by hypocritically pan?
dering to the ignorant, criminal and ruinous
prejudices and aspirations of tho nogro ! I would
groatly prefer seeing oven" office in tho State filled
by tho Honest intelligent negroes, than by such
unprincipled and shameless mon.
1 once Baid to President Johnson, in reply to a
dispatch sent me, about Union men being ex?
cluded from office undor tho Provisional Govern?
ment, that I had made it a rulo through lifo to
confldo in tho polities of no ono who was not mor?
ally honest and trustworthy in private lifo, and
that my experience had taught mo tho fact that a
man who had no moral principio could have no po?
litical principio. Hence it is that wo seo thoso
wno were foremost in secession, whilo secession
was in the ascendant and tho road to honor and
distinction, power and position, now fawning at
tho foot of tho oppressor, whilo tjTarmy and op?
pression aro all powerful. They "caro not whom
they serve, or what principles they advocate, pro?
vided thoy can promote their own selfish views.
But they would oven have us boliovo that tho great
interests of tho country wore foremost in their
thoughts.
Immediately after it was known that alavory
would liavo 'to bo abolished, I oxprosscd tho
opinion that it would bo wiso and prudent to per?
mit negroes, who had acquirod a property and
educational qualification, to vote ?n all tho South?
ern States. I thought this would be a safety valve
for political eociotv. It would gratify and appease
tho intelligent and most influential of that class,
and make thom good citizens, instead of being
disturbers of tho peace. It would hold out an in?
ducement to all who had any disposition or wish
to rise above tho common herd I And no ovil
could result from it, as I supposed vory few, com?
paratively, would over bo ?,blo to attain tho privi?
lege, and when thoy did, they would always voto
with the highor and better educated class of
whites. I expressed a similar opinion many years
ago, in regard to recapturing Fugitive slaves. I
thought it woll for society that when a slave had
acquirod such a lovo for freedom as to prompt him
to flee to tho Northern States, and possessed in?
telligence sufficiout to mako his escape, he ought
not to bo brought back. In this way tho bold,
daring and reckless-they who woro most likely to
disturb tho public poace-would bo out of tho
country, and thero would bo groatcr Bafoty from ,
thoso Toft behind.
But my opinion thus expressed was denounced
by +hoso who aro now urging universal Buffrago J
for tho negro, or at least advocating tho call of a
convention, by whioh universal Bu?rago is to be .
established. I likewise advocated, at the same
timo, tho propriety of permitting negroes TO givo< .
testimony in all cases in our courts of justice."
This, too, was sternly resisted by those who aro
now willing to confer on tho negro tho right of
holding ofhee, to get back into the "glorious ?
Union," which they onco hated and despisod so .
cordially.
In ono of my previous communications, I stated
that Professor Agassiz had proved conclusively
that tho negro was of an inferior race to that of
tho white man, and had a different origin. In Bay?
ing this, I did not intend to insinuate, as some of
ot thc negroes seemed to think I did, that God i
was not their "father," ns well as tho white man's
father. They aro cortainly both creations of the
samo Almighty hand. They aro doubtless, too,
equally under tho protection of tho Almighty, and 1
eanally dear to Him in their respectivo spheres- i
spheres in which He placed thom and for which c
ho mado thom. Tho horse and tho jackass aro i
both aliko tho croations of God. Ho did not croate i
them of tho samo typo, or mako them one and thu t
same auimal. no g ive to ono beauty of form and ^
symmetry, spirit and fleetness; and to tho other \
Btieugtli, enduranco and othor valuable qualities. 1
So Ile distinguished between tho nogro and whito 1
man. To tho former ho has givon a black skin i
and a woolly head, greater strength and less t
brain. Ho has adapted him to labor, and given :
him pores which defy malarios and rovers. To t
the other He has given a white skin and a head of 1
hair, less strength and largor brain, adapted to <
highor thoughts and greater intellectual im- \
provemcnts. <
But God loves his whole creation equally, and ;
it is to bo presumed that he has tho samo regard
for the owl that ho has for the eaglo, and so with 1
tho jackass, thc wh.to mau and tho nogro, pro- <
vidod, always, that tho ono is as faithful in tho i
discharge OJ lita mission on earth as tho other, i
It is by no means a crime or fault on tho part of :
thu jackass, that he cannot rim as swift.lv us the
horse. Hu wa i not created f r such fleetness ; 1
and so with the negro^ he has not been endowed I
by God with tho same volume of brain that th . <
white mau has, and ho is not to blame for being i
unable to compoto with him m sciunco and knowl- >
edge. Ho is au inferior animal to tho white mau.
God made him such as ho is for wise purposes, as
ho made the ass inferior to tho horse. It is as
foolish to think of miking poets, artists ant
statesmen out of negroes ?is it would bu to make a
raco horse or a spirited charger in battle out of a
jackass, You may give thc negro thc right of suf?
frage and thc right to hold office, and mako lum ti
legislator; and su you may enter tho ass for a
four-mile heat with tho hooded horse, or you may;
mount him in battle for la nhargo on tho enemy
but both would bo equally unwise and disastrous,
tor you aro attempting to prevort naturo and thc
laws of God.
l'rotessor Agassiz, of Harvard Collcgo, Massa?
chusetts, the most learned and scientific naturalist
tho world has over produced, declares most confi?
dently, after a lifotimc of thought and observation
on the subject, "that tho negro and thc whito man
were created as specifically different as thc ow)
and thc eagle. They wore designed to fill differ- .
cut places in tho system of nature. Thc negro is
no more a negro by accident or misfortune than
thu owl is thu kind of bird ho is by accident or
misfortune. Tho negro is uo moro tho whilu man's
brother than thc owl is thu sister of thu eagle, or
than tho ass is tho brother ol the horse." "There
are," says thc same great authority, "over one
hundred specific differences between the bonal
and nervous system ol' the white man and thc ne
gro. Indeed, their forms are aliko in no particu?
lar. There is not a bono in tho negro's lindy re?
latively of tho same shape, size, articulai ion, or
chemically of the same composition, as that of thu
whito mau. Thu negro's bones contains a far
greater per centavo of calcareous salts than those
of the white niau. Even tho necios blood is
chemically a very different fluid from that which
courses in tho veins of thc white man. Thc whole
physical organization of thc negro differs quite as
miicli from the whito man ?us it does from that of
thc chimpanzee -that is, in his bones, musel?s,
nerves and fibres. The chimpanzee has not much
further to progress lo become a nogro than the
negro has to become a White man. This fact sci?
ence inexorably demonstrates."
It is agreed by all scientific men who have
turned their attention to this subject that tho ca?
pacity, by measurement, of tho skull of tho white
man is ninety-seven cubic inches, that is, thu
average of ono thousand or any greater number
of skulls. The negro has sixty-six cubic inches;
the North American Indian has sixty-three cubic
inches; tho native Australian has fiTty-.six cullie
inches. Sir Charles Lyall, than whom there can
be no higher authority, says tho foot and hands,
the arms ?md legs of tho white mon and negro are
unliko in measurement. The hand of tho negro
is one-twelfth larger and one-tenth broader than
the hand of thc white man; his foot is onc-cigth
longer and one-ninth broader thau thu white
man's; his foru-arm is one-tenth shorter, and the
same is true of the boues from thu knuu to thc
ankle. Tho skeleton is uuliko in the whole in
weight and mo s?rement, and unlike in every bone
of it.
In the most a Imirable speech of tho Hon. Vf.
Mungen, of Ohio, lately (louvered in Congress,
(and to which I am greatly indebted for much
that I have said,) it is boldly asserted, on tho
authority of scientific mon, that tho world does
not afford an instance of a mulatto in thc fifth
generation. Tho hybrid race becomes extinct af?
ter the fourth generation, unless thev havo inter?
mixed with one or thc othor of tho original races.
So it is witt] all animals. Tho mule does not breed
at all. Thc wolf and jackal, the dog and fox, have
produced hybrids, which always become extinct
in ibo third generation. These animals, like tho
negro and white man, were regarded, at one time,
as only different varieties of tho samo spocies.
But experiment shows them to have been different
creations, as it docs thc negro and whito man.
I repeat what I have said in a former article,
that I have over been tho friend and protector of
tho negro through life. This my formor slaves
will vouch for me. My bouse servants, eight or
ten in number, havo never left mo, and aro still
living with me on the same terms thev did whilo
slaves. It is because 1 wish well I o the ne?
gro that I am unwilling to seo him placed in a
false position. Ile is unfit to exercise thc right of
suffrage, and will become tho dune and tool of
base ami designing men. A war ot races will on- i
sue. and thc negro, being (he weaker and I 'ss in- j
tclligcnl, will be exterminated in such a war. Ex- I
Unction will bo tho result of this great boos, be- I
stowed on thora for thc solo purpose of strength?
ening tho Radical party. General Benjamin P.
Butler said to mo, eighteen monti's ago, that all
tho Radical party wished was, to liavo ..impartial
suffiat-e." He said that wo might declare that no
ono should voto, unless ho was a graduate ot thc
South Carolina Col.ege. All that tho Radicals
then thought of was equality between the races.
But now, they aro determined to have the negro
voto, in order to radicalizo the ?South.
In tho negro convention which sat tho other
dty, in Columbia, it was claimed that, in tho next
Presidential election, there should bo placed on
thc Radical ticket a negro/either for President or
vice-President. It was contended, too, that the
lands should bo divided into Binall fauns, so that
each bead of a family might gfct a homestead. If
tho land-owners refused this division, then their
lands should bo taxed so heavily as to force them
to part with them. There is considerable ingenuity
in tuis schomo of confiscation. Tho whites who
vole for a convention to avoid confiscation on tho
part of Congress, will find them solves nicely
caught by thc negroes in convention. As I'have
already said, thoy will find that, after sacrificing
heir honor, the rights ol' thc State, and the prin?
ciples of self-government und constitutional liber?
ty, they havo lost their lands into tho bargain.
Another schomo of thc negroes, promulgated in
their recent convention, is to have nothing taxed
but property. This will release tho negroes trom all
taxes, as they do not own property. Thon, thc
property of the State is to bo taxed, to establish
freo schools and colleges all over thc State, for tho
education of their children, without cxponsc to
thonogroosl Aqain, they declaro a convention,
and have mado it a part af their platform, that the
old negroes, and infirm negroes and paupers, arc
to be supported by thc property of tho white men,
instead of taking care ol' Moir own aged parents
and pauper kindred.
In tho twelfth articlo adopted by this Radical
negro convention, they avow oponly their purpose
of disfranchising all who havo sorved in thc Con?
federate army, or aided and abetted tho war. They
ire disposed to tako a stop anda widoone, beyond
tho Radicals in Congross. Tho white Radicals
havo disfranchised onl v those who have filled pub?
lic offices; but thc black Radicals aro determined
Lo extend it to all who wero in tho army, which in?
cludes almost tho entire whito population. This
will bo accomplished iu that convention which the
white pcoplo aro going to vote for-a convention
to disfranchise themselves, confiscate tboir pro?
perty, and place tho Stato absolutely under tho
control of tho negroes. Was there ever such folly
and madness heard of before in thc civilized
world? In sack-cloth and ash os they will have to
repent of their stupidity and dishonor.
This negro Radical convention further demands
a rov?Bion of our laws and tho reorganization of
our courts. They, a set of paupers, ignorant and
debased, are to "govern tho State, and tho whito
men, who own all theproperty, aro to \ av the ex?
penses of tho State. They spoak of hui kline rail?
roads! No doubt a thousand schemes will bo
concocted for sponding tho whito man's money,
for the benefit of tho negro, beforo tboy proceed to
tako it from him by forco or fraudulent legislation.
Horrible, most horrible, is_tho futuro of om- poor
Stato and degraded peoploT No ono seems to re?
alize our true situation. It is now as it was in tho
days of soccssion. Wo oro standing, like idiots,
on a mnguzlno of powder, nourishing in our hands
a firebrand, and laughing at tho beautiful ring ot
ribbon it makes in the dirk. The explosion will
come, must como, sooner or later, and bring with
it universal death and destruction to thc people
ind property of tho State.
In Liberia, wh ^ro there is a nation of negroes,
sont from tho United States, and where they have
formed a Uuvemment, no white man is allowed to
hold office, or voto at any election for any office.
This is wiso and proper; and they have thought it
nocessary to make this exclusion for their ow.i
pcaco and prosperity. HaV not tho whito men
?.ho samo right to exclude the jcgro from tho right
nf suffrage, when they know that tiio negroes have
i majority in the State, and will seiz j tho govern?
ment of tho Stato if permitted to voto ?
It is idlo follv to tell tho pcoplo of South Caroli?
na that capital and immigrants, will How into tho
Stato when reconstructed on the Black Republican
alatform. On tho contrary, as-soou as this negro
government is organized, every dollar of foreign
?apitalin South Carolina will bo withdrawn, and
lot ono cont will oomo hero seeking investment.
S'or will any foreigners mivo hero to settle, under
icgro rule, and tho confusion and disturbance
?vhich it will give riso to in tho State. Mr. Cal
loun predicted, years ago, that if the negro was .
let free tho Northern noonie would insist on his
right of suffrage, and it allowed, thc negroes
vould soizo thc gjvornmcnt, and the white people
vould have to leave tho State. Ho further said
;hat tho former owners would 1 se all influence
iver their freedmen, whoso sympathies and par
ialitioa would be for Northern men und vile cmis
laricB sent here lo control them. 1 think il ls
)rotty generally acknowledged even now that ali
?outrol of the negro in tho coming election is al
eady gone from their funner masters, (?moral
lampton and his friends had just as well try to
sontrol a herd of wild buffaloes in tho vast ? rai?

G KEEN VILLE, S. C., July 27,18G7.
rile French Assembly, th. Emperor, mid
Mexico.
To Americans thc debates in tho French Charn?
iers must be quite novel and entertaining. Wo do
lot wonder that a great Frenchman -Tafloyrand
mee said that language was given to ns to con?
ical, not express, our ideas. Certainly a Fro nell
nan of the present "Second Empire" has cause to
tppreciato the value ol'words in this respect. The
peat study seems to bo, how not lo say really
vhat you mean and yot lo seem to say it. Un tho
L'Jth of this month there was a ratht r exciting d??
jate oa tho Mexican question. Napoleon was
illuded to in terms that Ins partisans did not con?
fider at all complimentary, and more than ono
ittcmpt was made to repress tho freedom of
?peech. Thu presiding officer has a queer way of
'putting in" and pronouncing upon tho ortho
loxy ot a speaker's utterances. M. Thiers, (ho
?veil known historian, took a prominent part in Hie
lobato, and it\ tho eourso of iii? speech he gave
m interesting history of the French enterprise in
Mexico. Tue three notions that lay tit the root of
the Mexican expedition, according ty M. Thiers,
?vere an exaggerated idea of its rimes, from which
lo reimburse French lesses; an idea that the Mex?
icans were tired ol' revolution, and desired a moil
?rchy under u European prince; and satisfaction
to Austria, from whom an Italian province had
aeeifrtaken, and, as compensation, un empire was
to De given it. Thiers had from the first oppos
9d this enterprise on the part of Franco, bul
?peaks ot' Maximilian with great respect, and says
nf Carlotta : "Lotus hopo thore ls recompense
above for souls who have suffered ranch on earth."
He thus speaks of an additional object of the
French in going to Mexico;
"Wo went there to organize tho latin race in op?
position to tho Anglo-Saxon. Franco has with?
drawn, aud as to the Aiij-lo-Saxon race it. is tri?
umphant; and we arc reduced to form nopes that
it will overrun the Mexico from which we. wished
to expel it to avenge what we could not ourselves
iivong .. [Exclamations on som J bunche ?. 'Hear,
hoar,' to Hie left of the speakor.] And what was
the result V East year the face of Europe was pro?
foundly chaiit;cd, and France, having the wO'glit id
Mexico on her hands, was unable to interfere.
[Exclamations.] ***..??
Bare I speak of tho Chamber ? If it did not re?
sist, thal, was from a sentiment of respect, to thc
consideration due to a Government-to tho chief
of tho State. [Hear.] And I draw this lesson
from it. tint no greater service can bi; rendered to
the chief of the ?State than to resist him on cer?
tain-occasions. [Cheon, on sonic of tho honchos.]
I havo always been among thojo win? in France
have sought liberty under a monarch; but there
ito two species. Thc first, where a prince governs
through ministers, but without cousultii g thom
in fact, absolutely. The other, a chief ot the State
having respectful and devoted ministers, but con?
certing and arranging with thora, they deferring
to him with respect, and incase of difference, sup?
porting themselves on public opinion, lins latter
is the one to winch I have devoted niyscll for more
than forty years, and the o ie I wish' for my coun?
try; and I am Bore that the true friends' of the
Goyornmcnt will desire that it pass us soon as pos?
sible from t!ie first form to thc second.
Being called to order, M. Thiers reiterated the
sentiment amidst great applause. While, how?
ever, pointedly condemning tho expedition, be
spoke of Juarez aa a man who had "stamped an
indelible stigma upon his name," ?md of Maxi?
milian with sympathy, in which, indeed, all Hie
s| cakora, however different their views on other
subjocls. concurred,
Tho speech ol Jules Favre waa even moro fiery
than that ot Thiers, and some ol its passages al?
most defiant. He accused the government ol false
representations to the Legislature about the ob?
ject ot tho expedition, and afterwards about its
progress; ol cowardly treachery to Maximilian: nf
having held confident language when it knew that
success was hopeless; ol' having caused Ilse death
ot its protege, us well ns that ol' many French?
men. Mr. Favre said that so long ago os Septem?
ber 18(55, tim French Government considered
Maximilian's position tobe untenable, and enter?
taining, ns it did, that conviction, he charged it
with having taken none ol' the precautions which
prudence dictated, and willi having pr- vented tko
Prince from leaving Mexico. At this pninl oc?
curred ono of tho most exciting passages ol thc
discussion. M. Favre said:
Wu ?nu ?ill unanimous m our feeling respecting
the sanguinary events of which thal country has
been tho theatre: but the French government lins
been wanting in wisdom and in calmness by pub
fishing in an official journal, words which may
proth.ce a deplorable effect on thc othor sido of
tho Atlantic. [Approval from tho loft.]
M. Eolnioiitet- It has given expression to thc
?oneral sentiment of Europe.
il. Jules Favre-And when it appeals to thc Di
vino right, I reply that tho fato of tho humblest
child of Franco wiio dies obscurely on a foreign
soil in tho performance of his duty, in moro wor?
thy of sym] athy than that of a prince who perishes
in defence of" his throne. [Cries ol "Order,
order."] v
Tho President-M. Julos Favro protests, not
onlv against tho eentiment of tho chamber, but
that of tho country and of all Europe. [Loud
cries of approval.] 'if ho persists in the expres?
i?n of such opinions, I shall bo obliged to cilJ
him to order.
M. Eugene rcllotan-We eotccm a Frenchman
moro than wo do an Austrian archduke.
Thc Duke de Morraicr-Let thcro bc no distinc?
tion between victims.
Mi gales Favre-It is because I repel all distinc?
tion tha>I pronounced thc words which havo ox
cit id the Chamber. ND reasons of political neces?
sity can justify tho conduct ot,the government dur?
ing the last period of the expedition. Maximilian
went on thc faith of our promises with our army,
and he ought to have been supported by it. Yes,
1 have exp rienced a feeling of profound affliction
that I his unhappy Prince was not brought back to
Europe with our troops, so that Franco might have
been sholterod from thc blood that has been spilt
and which will fall upon her head. TLoitd accla?
mations and cries of "Order, order 1" Applause
from some benches.]
The President-Tho l itter words of tho honor?
able mein ber may fall upon bis own head in tho
eycK of tho whole* country. [Sensation; loud ap?
plause.]
M. Jules Favr<*-No person in this Chamber, not
even our honorable president, whom I respect, is
entitled to hold Mich language to mo-to ono who
is one ol' that minority which, when it vas in
power, overihrcw the scaffold for political crimes,
which you have again set up. [Lund expressions
of dissent ] I have always protested from this
place in favor of tho inviolability of human li o,
and if you had taken these protestations into con?
sideration, perhaps we should not now bo deplor?
ing tho calamity that has occurred. [Great agita?
tion.]
M. Llonhsr, who followed M. Favre, protested
indignantly against tho government being held
rosponsiblo for "tho murder which had been per?
petrated in Mexico." saying :
Tho Emperor Maximilian has fallon victim to an
act of cowardly treachery, (of tho Mexican general
who betrayed him.) [hoar, hoar,] and when weeks
had elapsed, and angry passions bad had time to
subside, a secret tribunal was erected and Juarez
assassinated tho Emperor whose betrayal ho had
procured. [Loud applause.]
OSE OF TUE principal bankers in t Iiis city, says
tho Richmond W/ug, remarked to us the other
day that he had been foiled a dozon times in im?
portant financial negotiations in Now York by somo
(to him) untimely action in Congross growing out
of the unreconstructed condition of tho Southern
States. Ile added that it was impossible for any
ono not concerned like himself in fiuancial opera?
tions to appreciate tho harm and hurt tho people
of Virginia suffer by reason of t':o unsottlcd con?
dition of the State. Thc resumption of constitu?
tional relations willi tho Fcdoral Government he
regarded as a stop in the process of resuscitation
that is indispensable, and tho first thing to be
done. Until this is effected there is no security
for property, and consequently nothing that will
command tho confidence of those to whom wo havo
to look for capital. You cannot carry "consis?
tency" and "honor" into Wall street and bank upon
them. You must go thcro with solid securities,
freed from tho danger of confiscation. Recon?

When Death invades a circle and takes from among its

fi/?-X YOUNG LADY RETURNING TO HEP
country home, after a sojourn of a lew months in tin
city, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place o
a coarse, rustic, flushed face, ?ho had a soft ruby com
ploxion of almost marble smoothness, and instead o>
tw nty-thrcc she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in?
quiry as to thu cause or so great a change, she plainly
told timm that she used tho CIRCASSIAN BALM, and
considered it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's toilet.
By its nae any Lady or Gcutlomcn can improve their per?
sonal appearance an bundled fold. It is simple iu its
combination, aa Nature herself la simple yet unsurpass?
ed in its efficacy in (tawing impurities from, also heal?
ing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion.
By its directactiou on thc cuticlo it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing thc same, and leaving thc sur?
face as Nature intended it should be-clear, soft, smooth
and beautiful. Price tl, sent by Mail or Express, on re?
