' The only difficulty which tte mediator experienced, as he says, was "to .induce Grant to talk upon the subject." He ?appears ' to.have been afflicted with the same paumty of ideas which" ' characterLzea him m -other matters, -for he was very ready to say .that be meant nothing by his "botriad up" re? port, while Butler was willing to forgive and -forget the little matter about the invitation to .Crmfti eraring party. Finally, to close up tte matter, Wilkes induced Butler to promise to make a public recantation, which he did, as sro know, in a patronizing and graceless man? aor in the Gloucester speech. ' Wilkes thinks .this will "impart fresh impulse to the Republi? can campaign," and is willing to hold stakes to JKry amount on Grant with reconciled Butler to keek him. ' -The ingenuity of tho arch-fiend himself teonld contrive no equal to the tortures inflict? ed upon tbe whites of the Sg?th by the itine? rant vagabonds sent by the Radicals to force them into resistance. What is called a "School , .t$yalena" is about to be foroed upon the people -of Louisiana, which, among other equally dia "bohcal features, contains the following: "Sec? tion 5 of chapter 6 provides for the compulsory .-attendance st school or places of correction of ] ?H children between the ages of eight and four? teen who are without fixed employment, such places of correction and schools to be provided t>y tho Board of Education at the expense of J tte parents or guardians, or, in case of their | -poverty, at the expense of the school fund, in tbe discretion of the board." This provision, -"with its context, needs no elucidation. Its purpose 4B patent and its terms abundantly effective. It plainly compels the whites not ?dy to educate th? negroes, but forces their children, male and female, into a promiscuous ~?9ominingbng with the negro race in schools common to both, and in "places of correction" provided for the punishment of such as refuse -tte monstrous contamination. - -One of the most careful financial writers in 3few York states that private letters from Eu? rope to their correspondents in that city, ad i caution, in view of the contingency of a European war. The accumulation of specie in the Bank of France, in round numbers $250 000,000in gold, and the loss of ?571,000, equal to $2,800,000 in gold, reported by telegram, in the Bank of England statement for last week, indicate that gold has been purchased for Frenoh aooonnt, as there is nothing in the movement of .the foreign commerce of France to warrant this extraordinary gain of bullion by the Bank of France, and the commensurate ross by the Bank of England, and other money oenlres. For some time past the price of gold has been higher in Paris than in any other money centre, while New York has been the point at which gold has been Bold at a cheaper rate Lhan in any other great financial centre of exchanges. The result has beeD the enormous accummuJation of bullion in Paris, unprece? dented in the. history of modern times, and which justly excites the distrust and fear of Europe aa much as the warlike footing of the French army and navy. The French Govern? ment has been a large purchaser of horses for a year past, and last week a quantity of hay has been bought io the New Tork market for French account, and supposed io be for that government. The continued weakness and de? cline in British consols, in the face of a two per cont, money market, is significant of the dis? trust in regard to fa ture political complica? tions leading to war in Europe, which disturbs financial circles there. Capitalists are seeking tb shelter themselves as in preparation for a storm. CHARLESTON. . -0- . . THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20,1868. For P rendent..HORATIO SEYMOUR. For vice-President.. ...VHASCIS P. BLAIR. Warlike Preparations. One of the arguments presented by the republican papers in favor of the eleotion of the Presidential eleotors by the Southern Legislatures, so-called, is that the ballot box is overawed. They say that in Tarions parts of the South there are organized bodies of men who meet for drill and boast of their intention pf carrying the eleotion. But these veracious journals do not inform their readers that these political militiamen eonsist of negroes. These, and only these, are seeking to overawe the. ballot-box-not all Of these, indeed, bat such of them as are in close'affiliation with the Legislatures. The, freedom of election is threatened by Republicans only, and that either by legis tive usurpation or by armed interference. Go m pani es of Radical negroes are drilling every night in Charleston. Even what ap? pear tb be peaceful processions affect a mil? itary order ander the direction of officers, and need only to bring, forth the arms with j which they-are supplied to manifest their I real character as companies and regiments. We are informed by. eye-witnesses, that on I every night when the moonshine favors, companies of armed negroes regularly drill at the western extremity of Broad-street, where the great fire created a wide and unfrequented Champ de Mars. Although they resort to a lonely place, they affect no concealment of their object. They march there in regalar Squads, moving in double fllej /: - . ' And now, some of them, relying upon their discipline and their numbers, are eager to precipitate a conflict with the citizens, with the police, with, the peaceful assem? blages of members of the Democratic party. When Judge ALDRICH addressed the Sixth Ward Club, a mob of African Radicals en? deavored to break ap the meeting in a riot. The singular moderation of the Demoorats and an early adjournment frustrated the attempt. When WADE HAMPTON addressed the citizens of Charleston, PILLSBURY was forming a procession at the Military Hall to disturb and cat throagh the crowd as? sembled to listen to the report brought by that distinguished Carolinian from the New York Convention. Mayor CLARK was obliged to use all his influence with the motley partisans and their foolhardy leader, to prevent their undertaking the audacious outrage. Even his expostulations and warn? ings were scarcely sufficient. Again, on last Saturday night a conflict on the streets was arrested by the rioters being allowed to take possession of them; by the impris? onment of the police in the Station House, and by the absolute license granted to the mob to flout the authorities and to maltreat peaceful citizens at their will. Such is the pelioy of the Radicals on the eve of a Pres? idential eleotion. And now, fearing that even this game of brag and bluster may fail of its intended effect, they adroitly urge that, inasmuch as the military organiza? tions at the Sooth may destroy the liberty of voting, therefore a Legislature, whioh in no just sense represents oar people, should take the election out of their hands. As we won't be scared, we must be disfran? chised 1 Yet we honestly believe, constrained by the many and manifest proofs that we see daily and nightly around os, that the Rad? icals are determined, at whatever cost, to provoke a riot in the streets of Charleston, j Processions, noisy and obscenoe and insult? ing, marching nightly through the streets to the sound of martial music; inflammatory appeals to passion, inviting to the ase of the rifle and the application of the torch; drills in the midst of a comparatively un? armed population, in a time of profound peaoe; the pelting of the police station and of the oars; and the assaulting of inoffen? sive citizens, and the violent interference with, and maltreatment of, the police in th? discharge of their duties,-is there no ob? ject contemplated in these persistent and criminal excesses ? Do not those basest men, who have gained the confidence of the credulous African, intend to provoke tbe resistance of an outraged people, and then to make capital out of thc general disorder ? The military preparations the Radicals are now making have thus a two-fold ob? ject. First, to excite apprehension in re? gard to the freedom of election, although that freedom is endangered by themselves alone. Second, to produce an outbreak at the South, and BO convince the American people of the necessity of inaugurating a military President-a dictator, who will not hesitate to cat the Gordian knot of diplo? macy with the sharp and ruthless sword. And certainly, if such a role is to be played by our next Executive, GRANT is the man for the office, unless, perhaps, BUTLER'S ty? ranny in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans should assure his superior claim. We feel it, therefore, to be a matter of great importance that oar people sh understand the situation, and act ace ingly. Let everything be done, consiste with honor, 4o secure the triumph of Democratic party. Bat let it, at the s time, be remembered that self-control moderation on oar part are, more thai things else, essential to that result. F harangues will not help as, nor wrat reprisals. We have now no resort ex? to oppose the Democratic policy of sta manship to the Radical policy of blood. For oar own part, we have waited for reaction long; we are now permitted to hold its progress, and we need entertaii fears that it oan be easily arrested n Beyond peradventure, we shall sucoeei this contest. The richest blood of the < verse flows in oar veins. We inherit noblest examples of public virtue and finest traditions of liberty. We belong an ambitious, a world-ruling race, therefore, cannot tolerate for a moment thought that we can be foiled in a con with a few tricky adventurers and a mu tude of credulous barbarians. Yet the i of oar deliverance may be delayed uni we oppose polioy and principle to the c breaks of passion, and neutralize the bl strength of m?sele by the steady fortiti and electric energy of mind. We shall need to lie to much longer, for the gal well-nigh spent; soon we may tarn oar pi to port and spread every sail to the wi The Bank of tbe Stet? Swindle. The bill now before the Legislature Janney's Hall, Columbia, to close the o rations of the Bank of the State, is one the most barefaced attempts at swindli which have ever come ander our notice, s it is not surprising thal the "ring" in ( lumbia have been anxious for months p to bay ap all the bills of the bank tl could find in the market In 1888 an act was passed for rebuilding4 City of Charleston, and under this act wi were known as the fire loan bonds were t thomed to be issued... The Bank of t State was made specially: responsible to t holders of these bonds, being required provide for the punctual payment of. t principal and interest. These bonds wc negotiated by BABING BBOS. & Co., of Lo don, England, and the proceeds remitted sterling exohange. In 1865 an act was passed by the Stn Legislature, appropriating the assets of ti bank, first to the payment- of the fire roi bondholders in Europe, seoond to those I Qie United States, and third to the bi] holders. In 1865 DADNEY, MOKOAN i Co. filed bill on behalf of the biUholders, prayii that the act of the Legislature above r ferred to be set aside, and asking that tl assets be appropriated, first to the billhoh ers, and second to the bondholders. In the same year BABING BBOS. & Co as tho representatives of the fire loan bone holders, made answer, sustaining the vc lidity and equity of the appropriation mad in the act of 1865, and the conformity of it pledges to those contained in the fire loa act. The court heard the pleadings, and mad an order, of which the following ls the mot essential part : - STATE or SOUTH CAROLINA, CHABLXSTO: DISTRICT.-Between Dabney, Morgan & Co, and the President and Directors of the Bani of the State of South Carolina, the Attorney General of tbe State of South Carolina, Bari nf Brothers & Co., and others.-Decretal ordeis . ? . * . . . 5. It ia further ordered, that to avoid multi pl i ci ty of suits and waste of the fund, un ti such hearing con be had and a decree rendered in this case, all creditors of the said corpora? tion, whether biUholders, bondholders oi claimants in any other form, are enjoined fron all proceedings in law and equity against said corporation, its proper ty or assets, except ac parties to these proceedings. ' 6. lt is further ordered,' that in considera? tion of the said injunction of the creditors ol said corporation from bringing suit against the same, the said corporation and the said Charles M. Forman and Thomas B. Waring are hereby enjoined, until the said hearing shall be had and Tendered, from paying over any portion of the assets (moneys deposited since December, 1863, alone excepted) of said corporation, except for current expenses, in? cluding counsel fees for conducting the de? fence of this suit, to any creditors of the same, unless by special order of the court, without prejudice, however, to the right of these par? ties to coUect debts of the corporation, and tc change the form of assets in possession. * aa* # (Signed) J. P. CARROLL. Charleston, S. C., March 3,1868. The proceedings were at this stage when the so-called Legislature at Columbia steps in and introduces a bill which sets aside aU these contestants, seizes all the assets, dis? poses of them at the discretion of the Gov? ernor, and places them in the treasury. The following extracts from an able and exhaustive communication upon this sub? ject, published in the Courier of Monday, expose the whole nefarious scheme : What State, going back thus to the morals of bold Bobin Hood, can expect io maintain credit in the modern commercial world ? So much for principle. But practically, what a time to order the sale of such assets as the Bank bolds I None of these assets will gell at par, and few at os much as fifty cents on the dollar. Without, too, the plea of "neces? sity I" for the proceeds ore to be deposited in the Treasury, and a "separate account" kept of .ho fund, withdrawing it thereby from im? mediate use. See, too, the discretion srivan to the Governor in the salo of assets to the amount of $1,000,000, at a time when ?tock < rise and faU twenty per cent, in a day I Were he SB enterprising end SB corrupt cs Spoon Butler, he might, if he pleased, in a few weeks, become almost as r.ch. ' Section 2 of the bill adds to what has hither? to been considered as the State debt about one million and a quarter of dollars. If this pro? ceeded from an extreme sensitiveness as to national honor, and a scrupulous regard to good faith, it might, perhaps, increase public confidence rather than impair it. -But upon what ground is it that "honor and good faith" are less involved in regard to bills not "filed in the Court of Equity, on or before 1st June, 1868.'' than in regard to tho^e which have been so filed ? So far as tho State is concerned, the obligation is the same. Tho inference is not a forced one that those persons not filing the bi'ls they held confided solely in tho "honor and good faith of the State," while those "filing" distrusted tho State, and sought to subject tho assets af tho Bank. Yet the bills filed aro to bo "funded," while the bills not filed are r 'jectcd. Will it not be suspected that "good faith and honor" aro less the inducement than tho re? ward of "a ring" of speculators, who, hav? ing bought up, at a song, large amounts of bank notes, and having hitherto co-operated to subject tho assets of the bank, now join to solicit tho aid of tho State, to tho exclusiou of all such billholdors as do not, belong to the "ring." By section 3 of tho bill, notes of the bank is? sue sinco secession, if filed, aro. it seems, re? pudiated altogether, but if "not filed" are made food in discount, or set off to all cl aims of the auk. Here the distinction as to bills flied and not filed is reversed. While the bills of the new issne, if filed, are rendered worthless, those not filed are placed on a par with tbe ante-bellum issue not Died: or, m other words, with old issue bills, not held by any of the "ring." Such legislation is monstrous, and would bring into discredit any white man's govern? ment in the world. It remains to be seen whether such action on the part of a Legisla? ture, two-thirds negro, will be leas disastrous in its results. The two remaining provisions of the bill are of a piece with those already mentioned. Sec? tion 4 repeals the act of 1865. If the act is without validity, why repeal it? The billhold ers assert that it is already '.*null and void." This bill would seem to admit its validity, and, therefore, proposes its repeal. Now if the act of 1865 ?B valid, the "repeal," we insist, will be "null and void." If the act has any force at all, it operates a j, statutory assignment bf certain assets, which assignment has been ac? cepted by the parties for whose benefit it was made, and constitutes a "contract." To re? peal this act directly, "impairs the obligation of this contract," and cannot stand before the courts. The 5th Section repeals the 16th Section of the Charter of 1812. This, airain, waa a "con? tract," and the repeat is utterly nugatory. AGENTS WASTED-DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN GOODS.-Eight by ten Oval Steel Engravings of SEYMOUR AND BLAIR, with or without frames.
