When the little 'blood-sucker has taken his fill, and is about to _ . release his bite, he is tapped. A small incision is made in his side that serves as an outlet for -tte blood, and he goes on sucking in happy ig? norance of the cause of his abnormal appetite, ~~ as long as the doctor pleases. Bdellatomy is . 'thename given to tho practice, and it is urged that it is not cruel, but contrarywise, since it j . does the leech a good turn by enabling him to -enjoy bis rich feast indefinitely. He does not dienndex the operation, but with proper fcreat - ment ?B soon healed, and may be incised over - and over again. -There has been a pigeon-flying race in . England, from Dover, on the south coast of London. The pigeons were tossed up at stipn . tated periods at intervals of five miuutes, and -on their arrival heme were produced at South? wark Bridge, London. The bird found to have accomplished the journey in the least time was -declared to be the winner. The quickest pigeon performed the ronte in two hours aud - nix minutes, the second pigeon occupied two Lours and eleven minutes, and two other birds - ?ame the distance in two and a quarter hours. The distance is about eighty miles, and the win - .ning_ pigeon must have flown at the rute of one . mile in one and a half minutes. ? The weather was hazy and the air heavy, and a drizzling Tain impeded the progress of the pigeons. -The Macon Telegraph says : "The news -from many portions of Middle Georgia and the flack Belt is gloomy enough. The late rains luve played sad havoc with the cotton. lu ' some few sections there will be a fair yield, but the planters almost universally say the croppa fall short of last year's yield. The rust, tho worm, and the rot are at work des? troying it. It ?oems the rain will never stop. The last mon th ot August was the most un? favorable ever known. Only a few days re? main now in whioh the crop will do what it is jroing to. The season always closes between the 10 th and the 15th of September. After that it matters not what sort of weather wo lave. The crop will be either made or lop t. The crop in Georgia will fall short of about Alteen thousand bales. Our only hope no' to make up in price what we will lose in qu tity." -Mr. Sanford E. Church, (who was held so long by the New York delegation as tl candidate for President in the Democr Convention), in a speech lately made in I York, brought before the attention of hearers what Radical reconstruction is cost tho people of tbe North, besides the evils it brought upon the Southern people. Church said that while the Southern Sta contain a population throe times greater tt New York, yet so impoverished are they t the State of New York for the last year 1 paid double the amount of internal revel that the whole ten States have paid. Bat the despotic system which prevents the So from its natural developments, instead of p ing $30,000,000, they would pay $150 000,0 according to the amount of taxation. So t the result is, as Mr. Church admonishes Northern audience, that they are not o obliged to contribute by direct taxation $11,C 000 a year for tbe freodmju's bureau, s $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 for the army to bi them up, but they ere deprived of $150,000, a year which ought to go into tho treasury the general government, in consequence keeping that country as it now is. CHARLESTON. -0 MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1853. For President.HORATIO SKY MOL For net-President.FRANCIS P. BLAH? The Elective Franchise. To the People of South Carolina: It was referred to the Btate Central Exe tive Committee, by the late Democratic C< vention, to inquire into the disabilities i posed, by reason of the war, upon a portion our people, restraining them from the ex eise of the elective franchise in South Carolii and to publish the conclusion attained, for t information of the people of the State. 1 committee in discharge of that duty, annoui that they have examined the subject, and I to state : L That no BU?h disabilities now exist by under the acts of Congress, known as the I construction act, the State having been fic?ally declared to bo in the Union. . _ - 2. That no such disabilities exist under t so-called amendment, known as the fourteen 1 amendment to the Constitution of the Unit ?States, the disabilities therein expressed ht ing- reference to' office-holding, and not voting. - 8. That no such disabilities exist by the t called State Constitution of 1868, under whi it is claimed that the State has been rece strutted and restored to the Union. The undersigned, therefore, announce th no such disabilities exist by force of any la or supposed law, or authority whatever; ai they urge their hitherto disfranchised foll.-/ citizens, in every part of the State, to exerci their right to vote at tho coming election f President and vice-President, of which rigl they have been so long deprived by militai power. By order of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. . thc Samt? lt lot. The Radical newspapers of the couutr; despite counter-assertion and contradicts .declare every day that the whites of tl South are goading on the intelligent an V?j>tu?US froodiDCn to toko Up ?I?I3 1U 86l defence. They say that every trouble an disturbance which takes place in the Sout is due to the persecution and tyranny < the whites; they say that armed militia and secret organizations are indispensabl necessary to the safety and protection c the freedmen. The white Democrats, o the contrary, say distinctly and emphati cally that there never would be any disor der or violence in the South bat for the lan less conduct of some few negro leaders, wh are incited to open and flagrant misconduc by the subtle or flattering falBtkoods o their white chiefs. The truth of this las statement is, ef courae, flatly denied, and i is not often that evidence which the Radi cala dare not refuse to receive makes evi dent the truth and vindioat.es the manlines. and honor of the Southern people. On the 26th of August last there was i disturbance in Union District ia this State which ended io the wounding of severa negroes. The whites said that the negroei were the aggressors; the negroes said jus the reverse. Governor SCOTT ordered ai investigation to be made bj JOHN B. HUB BARD, the recently appointed State Consta' ble, who is a cousin of Mr. HORACE GRCE LET. Constable HUBBARD, the Radical ap pointe i of a Radical Governor, confirmed by a mixed Senate, will not be suspected ol partiality towards the whites, and his report upon the Santuc riot, published in our tele? graphic columns on Saturday, may be ?.z sumed to do the negroes justice a', least, and perhaps something more. We viii now endeavor to show, io a few words, the con? clusions at which Mr. HUB BARD has arrived. 1. John Bates, a negro of Union District, has claimed to he an officer, ordering large bodies of armed colored men to assemble and drill, marching them over the country and discharging firearms on the' public highways, "thereby causing the white citi? zens to apprehend danger to their persons "and property, and to protest against such "proceedings, making no objections to the "colored men meeting, provided they met "unarmed." That is to say, the drilling, shooting and marching of these negroes made the white people apprehend murder, arson and out? rage. What did they do ? They protested against these proceedings, declaring at the same time that they had no objection to (he negroes meeting if they were unarmed. They did not attempt to interfere with free? dom of speech. They did not organize armed bands and shoot the negroes down, as they might have done. They protested and waited. Could Radicals do more than this, or would they do as much ? * 2 John Baten orders colored men to guard him from place to place, many of them going eight to ten miles to guard him, "thus causing valuable time to be lost to "the employers and detrimental to the em "ployees and farming interest in that vi? cinity." This shows clearly enough that Bates, in encouraging the negroes to leave their work ? to guard him, is persuading them to be idle, reducing ihem to a condition of vagabond? age, and destroying that spirit of industri? ous labor which the whites are trying to foster. 3 A difficulty occurred at Santuc depot on August 2G, which resulted in a white I nan being wounded bj a negro. Another negro drew his pistol upon "the white citi? zens, who did all they could to quiet the "difficulty instead of encouraging it," which "showed that they desired peace." The coloTecrpeople assembled in squads, armed and bearii) g clubs. Bates arrived, and some words passed between him and a white man, in which both declared they were for peace. The whites and blacks started off in different directions, when a gun was fired by one of the negroes. The fire was re? turned by the whites, wounding several members of the negro guard and dispers? ing it. From this it is evident that the whites did all that they could to preserve peace. They did not refuse to treat with armed negroes, but urged them to be quiet and peaceable. Nor did they fire until they were fired on. 4. On Saturday after the riot three hun? dred negroes assembled at Santuc, many being armed. A delegation of whites met the negroes, and "each party agreed to "meet in the future without arms, and that "no one should go armed at any public "meeting, the white citizens pledging them? selves not to interfere with any meetings "or with John Bates. Bates arrived and "said that peace should i.ot stand, where? upon a number of negroes went as Bates "directed, utterly disregarding the agree "ment they had 'signed' in the morning, "and on the next day (Sunday) Bates was es? corted through the county with an armed "guard numbering from fourteen to twenty." This clinches the whole. The whites and negroes had met and agreed upon terms of peace, when the negro Bates comes to the spot, cancels the agreement, and marches through the county as before. Surely this is sufficient to show that the white people are now acting, as they have always been acting, with the greatest prudence and dis? cretion; indeed, had they not pushed their patience to the verge of timidity the negroes would not dare to be as insolent and over? bearing as they now are. In dosing bis report, Constable HUBBARD, this official of a negro Radical government, says : "That one of the causes of the re "cent troubles in Union County grew out "of the assembling of large bodies of col "ored men." We Bay that the only cause of every dis? turbance which has taken place in the State has been the conduct of gangs of negroes, who have been crazed and made furious by such men as Bates. Constable HUBBARD has made no arrests, and leaves the case for the action of the Governor. Will Governor SCOTT act prompt? ly and firmly, or will he wait until he has found out by sad experience that there is a point beyond which human endurance can? not and will not go ? ?St?pr's jprflflomution.
