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. From New Orleans.

Wo have received the following information in relation to the lato difficulty at Nickorson's Hotel; and as tho affair has excited somo attention in tho community, wo willingly devoto it tho requisito 6paco in our columns : 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? les of tho West us the negro volt) ot Columbia. B. F. PERKY. 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.

When Death invades a circle and takes from among its numbers the kind companion, bow poignant the sorrow; and with what feeling ol sadness we treasure up the many expressions of friendship With which we had been met; and while we draw together thc instances of that friendship, and croup thu varied periods of pleasant in? tercourse, and connect the many interchangea of fellow^ ship, wc experience thc feeling that a vi^^syftwh creal od which cannot readily be supplied.

But the Great Disposer of events ordained otherwise; aud instead of being here to Like part in our accustomed de? liberations, and lending that experience which characterized his o very action, tho "vacant chair" meets our gaze, and "tho place wldch knew him shall know him no more forever.
