The remainingpropositions recognize the need of a . reform in the co J duct of puah c affairs, and invite the co-operation of all patriotic oHizehs who are willing to unite in carrying it out. -Judge Jeremiah S. Black bas. entered the canvass in behalf of Seymour and Blair, and made a telling speech at York, Pa., hist week. After reviewing the conduct of the political parties to show that the friends of a constitu? tional government were the true friends of the oation, Judge Black proceeded to say : 'The consequence of Radicalism is that we have the moat corrupt government on the race of the earth. I cannot speak with perfect accuracy, but I believe I am within reasonable bounds when I tell yon thal a tho a sand millions would not cover the frauds committed since the close of the war. We bave the heaviest debt that the industry of any people ever struggled un? der without being totally crashed, and it is in? creasing instead of being diminished. We are taxed enoagh to keep the government run? ning and to pay off the whole debt in ten years if the money were honestly applied. Bat ono balf the internal revenue imposed by the Fed? eral Government and collected from the peo? ple is stolen before it reaches the treasury, and the other half is squandered by Congress in schemes of the moat extravagant corruption. Before the war our current expenses were less than seventy-five millions of dollars; now they are nearly four hundred millions, besides the interest on the national debt, and without counting what is stolen in transita." -A steam railroad ia now building from the base to the summit of Mount Washington. The length of the track ia a li'tie over two miles and three-quarters; the ascent is from one thousand three hundred feet to one thousand seven hundred feet in a mile, or, in some places, one foot in three. The track consists of three rails, the one in the middle being of | wrought iron, with cogs or pins correspond? ing to cogs in the driving wheel. This rail cost three dollars a foot in Boston. The train consists of the locomotive, with a tender and one passenger car. The locomotive is built with its boiler suspended, so that it is always level; it weighs four tons and pushes the train np before it. The driving wheel is eighteen inches in diameter. There is a similar cog-wheel on the tender, and an? other on the passenger car, each strong enough to hold the entire train. Friction rollers, run? ning nnder the edges of the middle rail, bold the train down upon the track. There is one steam brake and one hand brake, either of j which can atop the train in a moment; and, in ascending, a atrong wrought iron cog works into the cogs of the driving-wheel, to prevent backsliding. In descending the steam is ahnt off, and toe engine eased down by using com? pressed air. The ascent occupies one hour and twenty minutes; the descent about half au hour. Fifty passengers can be taken at each trip. The road is only partly done, but it is in nae. The tra flic will of course bo confia cd to lovera of the picturesque. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1868. ForFrendent....HORATIO SEYMOUR. For Vict-Prtxident.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. : Trie Prospect or Wau: in Europe. The eyes of thinking men, both in this country and abroad, are turned upon France. at this moment with no small degree of in? terest and anxiety. It seems to be univer? sally conceded that a continuance, for any length of time, of the present state of j things in Europe ia impossible. All the signs of the times are pointing to an out? break between Franco and Prussia; and the restless and vivacious journalists of the former Empire are buckling on their armor and girding np'their loins editorial, in preparati?j^Xavr^Tln'lariheranoe of, that grand scheme Of i raneo-German dominion, which lias been such an alluring vision to the Gillie mind ever since the downfall of j ?the great Emperor. The adherents and the opponents of the present French dynasty j are united on thia point. GIRABDIN, one of I the most vigorous of the Paris feuilletoniste, and an uncompromising, enemy of the ad? ministration, concludes a significant article in a late issue of La Libert?, in which he sketches ont a scheme for the eztenaion of | French dominion in the Rhine lands, with the following words: "In case Prussia "should refuse to accede to this pacific ar -"rangement, we demand that France should "no longer hesitate in pushing the line of | "her actual, to that of her natural, frontier. "We demand, in a word, what we last year "called 'our share of the river.' " The French people are in a state of ex? treme discontent-their normal condition. Thia can only he remedied by the substitu? tion of a condition scarcely less normal by a war. The idea of a recovery of what M. GIBABDIN oalls "their natural frontier," has always been a popular one among the French. ? war for this object would unite the whole nation. And indications of some such scheme are not wanting either in France or Prussia. Within the last three years France has been quietly accumulating at Vincennes munitions of war in enormous quantities. Large masses of troops are concentrated on the Prussian border; and on the other hand, the Prussian frontier garrisons have been doubled, and drilled into the highest state of efficiency. The King of Holland, appre? hensive of being crushed between the com? batants, is now in Switzerland striving to obtain the protection of Queen VICTORIA. And finally, Louis NAPOLEON talks peace more stronsay than ever. All this is omin? ous enough. So much for the probable chances of war. Now for its probable consequences. There can be no reasonable doubt that a war between Franoo and Prussia would unite Germany against the invader. Community of language ?B a strong tie, and, with the possible exception of Belgium, whose inter? ests lie the other way, there is not a single Teutonic State which would not make com? mon cause against the hereditary enemy. Nor would the proximate consequences end here. Russia would undoubtedly take ad? vantage of the European imbroglio to seize upon Constantinople, which she baa long covetea; and this once achieved, England would be foroed into the field to protect her Indian possessions, which such a move would seriously threaten. No wonder that Queen VICTORIA LS reported to have urged EUGENIE to use her influence with the Em? peror to avert ao dire and BO universal a calamity. The first gun fired by France in Prussian territory will be the signal for a convulsion, whose final results no man can foretell. Collapse of Radicalism at the South. We have already noticed the complete break-up of the Radical party organization in Georgia. Alabama tells the same tale. Aa indications of the turning tide, we may mention the collapse of the State Sentinel, the GRANT organ at the capital of Alabama; the conversion of Hon. W. B. JONES, a GRANT elector, to the Democratic side; as also the conversion of Hon. THOMAS MAS TEBSON, repreaentative from Lawrence, J. K. CUISOLM, of Lauderdale, elector for the State at large, Dr. F. W. SYKES, President of the first Radical convention in Alabama, JAMES S. CLARKE, circuit judge elected in February, and General W. AUSTIN, MOSES MAPLES and JAMES WILLIAMS, representa? tives, besides a large number of county offi? cers elected in February. Dr. JOHN H. HENRY, the first white Radical and Loyal Leaguer in Selma, and who did more to build up the party in Dallas county than any other man, says, substantially, that the Radical, party has gone to destruction and infamy, and that it is an organization that no dec?nt man oan now belong to. He de? clares for SEYMOUR and BLAIR. The editor of the Republican Banner, of Tuscaloosa, and W. E. Foster, a negro preacher in the same place, have renounced the Loyal League and Radicalism, and urge their friends to do the same, and join the Demo? cratic party. So the ball rolls on. VBBMOKT is not so desperately bad a case after all. The Democrats increased their vote nearly four thousand Biuce last year, and elected thirty-seven members to the Legislature, a larger number than they have had for years. It is true a large in? crease in the vote has also been claimed for the Republicans; but as the figures are re? ceived, the fact is revealed that the increase of the Democratic vote is greater in pro? portion to that of the Republican aB com? pared with last year, and a comparison with four years ago shows that the gains are on the Democratic side,, and that the Republicans have actually lost. The full returns show that they have no thirty thou? sand majority, but that it will fall to about twenty-five thousand, and perhaps h little under that figure. Te JUDGE by the discussion which took place in the so-called Senate in Columbia yesterday, the mongrel lawgivers are some? what dissatisfied with their choice of a Chief-Justice. Hon. F. J. MOBBS, SE., in? sulted the odored majority bj his anti? social-equality card; and though he tried to smooth the matter over by a visit to Colum? bia, he did not succeed as well as he could have wished. The introduction of a new bill to organize a Supreme Court, after a bill for the same purpose had been already passed, and the Judges bad been elected under it, was, to say the least, queer. The excuse given was that the original bill was lott. The matter looks suspicious. IT IS ODB custom'never to refuse to those who may have been assailed in this paper an opportunity to be heard through our columns, provided they choose io observe the ordinary proprieties of newspaper dis? cussion; and accordingly we print else where in this issue a communication from Mr. GILBERT PILLSBURY in vindication of his recent course as a political partisan. We trust that the future conduct of those among whom Mr. PILLSBURY happens to be an acknowledged and influential leader may be in accord with the undeniable mod? eration of his professions. THE MASSACHUSETTS .NEGRO, Elliott, has been chosen chairman of the South Carolina Republican State Nominating Convention. It is a position of honor (?) without profit-otherwise, a colored man, though a carpet-bagger, could never have obtained it. THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD BILL passed the Senate yesterday, and was read the se? cond time in the House. A motion in the House to postpone it to the next session was tabled. So it will probably pass be? fore the adjournment. ili?ijor's proclamation. jpKOCliAAlATION. By GEORGE W. CLARK, Mayor of Charlatan, j CITY HALL, MAYOB'B OFFICE. \ CHARLESTON, 8. C., August 18, 1868.
