Radical Opposition to Grant-Attempt to Defeat niw Renomination-Where the National Conventions will be Held-Butler's Campaign In Massa? chusetts-The Way Opening; for Democratic Victory-The Italian Cel- | ebratloa-E nthuslasm In Wei Clothes. [FROM ont OWN CORRESPONDE T.] NEW YORK, Auu ist 26. An attempt is being made among the enemies or President Grant in the Radical ranks to or ganlze an opposition to nj m inside the party, with the view o? defeating his renomination at the National Convention. The dissatisfied ele? ments are lying around loose in all of the Northern and some of the Southern States but nothing has before been done towards get ting them together und welding them into an effective opposition. There was an informal meeting of leading anti-Grant men at the A^or House one evening this week. 'Mr, -Greeley, however, was not present; but It ls known that he sympathizes with the move ment. Something was done at the meeting towards putting the ball In motion. The malcontents are engaging In a hopeless task. Doubtless they feet that they represent the great majority os the Radical party at the North, and imagine-that that backing will give them strength. The disgust with Grant, and wiih bis incapacity, selfishness, nepotism and indolence,ls widespread. 'Greeley well express? ed the predominant feeling when he said that there were mauy other men in the party who wwould run a great deal bettef. But Grant ls "mounted on the back of the party, and kick and struggle as lt may it cannot throw him With the whole machinery of the government under his control, he will have no trouble In forcing his renomination. This can be ciphered out with mathematical preciseness. The whole number of votes in the National Convention will be 318; necessary for a choice 160. Every - Southern delegation will go Into the convention pledged for Grant for an obvious reason. The Radical party In the South is almost, wholly composed of ne Eoes. There ls a small sprinkling of white Ldlcals in each State, and they are mostly Federal officeholders. By reason of being white men they control the party. By reason of being officeholders Grant controls them. Their official lives hang upon his pleasure. They will see to lt that their respective State Conventions elect Grant delegates. This will give Grant 103 votes in the National Conven? tion to start with. The action of the New York Republican State Central Committee on Wed nesday, in endorsing the Conkllng-Murpby leo ti on In this, city, shows that Grant's friends have complete control of the party machinery In this State. The Syracuse Convention will elect 33 Grant delegates to the National Con venlton. In Pennsylvania, Cameron and For? nax have fixed everything for Grant, and he call depend upon 26 votes from that State. Here are 162 votes already, two more than are required to effect a nomination, and nothing has yet been said of Maine, Ohio, Missouri, New Jersey and the three Pacific States, In all of which the party ls manipulated by the Fed? eral officeholders. - Grant will be renominated. Ur. Greeley Bays he will support him li lt comes to that. Other men who esteem the success of party above all considerations of the fitness of can? didates, will do the same; but where will Carl Schurz and the Germans go ? What is to be? come of Logan, Trumbull, Fenton, ex-Secre? tary Cox, et al ? The first Presidential nominations will come from Columbus, Ohio, where the Labor Re? formers will meet in October. The time and places of holding the other conventions are ^Beginning to be discussed by the newspapers. It seems to be conceded that the Democratic convention will meet at St. Louis. We have no Intimation from Ur. Belmont and other members of the national committee as to the time, thou tr h as early as the 4th of July, and after the Grant convention has met, would ?lve the most satisfaction to their constituents he officeholders will fix their convention at Philadelphia or Baltimore, or perhaps in Washington Itself, so as to be under the very shadow of the Executive Uamioa. Such locations as Chicago, where Logan and Tram bull have a strong Influence, or Boston, where Sumner ls omnipotent, are not to be thought of for a moment. The convention will not be trusted out of Bight, The Tribune makes haste to repudiate But? ler, whose blackeuard speech at Springfield opened the gubernatorial campaign tor him In Massachusetts. Butler is in earnest, and the bull-dog spirit with which he goes into the fight bodes 111 for the party in that State. But 1er ls the idol of the rowdy element (not t small one, by any means.) in Massachusetts It listens with delight to the familiar billings? gate. Issuing like a torrent from the Ups of one whom the loyal North has almost deified. It feels al home with Butler's ruffianly way of tackling his opponents. He has begut stumping tour of the State. He will mak strong fight lor the Radical nomination. Ii he is defeated in convention, his friends say he will run Independently. In either case, the party ls certain to be disorganized. The opposition to Butler will probably con centrate on Hervey Jewell, a Boston lawyer, the present speaker of the House of Repre? sentatives, aud brother of Governor Jewell, of Connecticut. Butler hates him, and will not get out ot the way for him. For the first time there ls really a good chance of the election of John Quincy Adams as Governor of Massa? chusetts. What a whirligig is time ! Who would have believed ten years ago that South Carolina could ever have become Radical or Massachusetts Democratic ? Those poor Italians. Why did they select the wettest day of the season for a parade in honor ot United Italy ? 1 he pageant was a very beautiful one, but it would have been {irudent to have postponed it. But young tal y never surrenders-not even to the ele? ments. The procession began moving, and the rain began pelting. All down the Bowery and up Broadway marched the celebratioolsts, -and the storm never ceased td rage. The handsome young women in tights, mounted on triumphal cars, and representing ancient ^and modern Rome, stood the rain bravely for '"Awhile, but finally hoisted umbrellas, ima fine the mistress ot the world under an um relia ! The one hundred little girls in white muslin, with banners represen"r>g the princi? pal cities of Italy, were speedily soaked. But they waved their flags and sneezed cheer? fully. To the spectator, under an awn lng, what visions of croup, rheumatism, neuralgia and consumption in the little ones must have arisen ? The bedraggled pro? cessionists went through the ' entire pro? gramme without flinching, and broke up lp. Fourteenth street with vociferous cheers for Moma capitale. There were no hostile demon? strations against them whatever. After they had changed their wet clothes for dry ones, .they went to Bulgers East River park to enjoy a picnic. General Franz Sigel made * speech in behalf of the Germans, and Colonel Slgnal fo appeared for the Italians ot the Southern tates (D. 8.) The latter got off a very pret? ty sentiment. He said : "As I love my mother, so I love my native land, but as I love my wife so I love America." The Idea is original - with Carl Schurz, but is none the less appro? priate and beautiful for being repeated. Nra. THE MOBILE CATASTROPHE. MOBILE, August 29. Thirty-five dead bodies have been recovered, and it ls teared that many are under the wreck. The excursionists were mostly work people with their families. THINGS TN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, August 29. An adroit attempt to pass two checks raised from one hundred to one thousand dollars failed by the caution of the bankers. The fraudulent paper in one instance was a certifi? cate of deposit on the banking house of John A. 81sco & Son, New York, In lavor of L B ?Cornell to the value of forty-two thousand dol? lars. This was endorsed as follows: "Pay to the order of Thos. S. Cassidy, signed J. B. .orne!!." The signatures and endorsements -are correct, but the amount is forty-seven hun? dred dollars only. No customhouse appointments are to be made until Boutweil's return on the 15th of September. tl THE KU-KLUX TRIALS. A Lame and Impotent Conclusion-The Mis-Trials-Greenville Bloving-T h e Telegraph, the Railroad and the Crops. [PROSTOUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] GREENVILLE, August 26. The Ku-Klux txWn have been going on for the past week, and, as you may expect, with small result. Eight supposed Ku-Klux were brought here from Spartanburg, accompanied by a small body of United States troops, lest they may be rescued on the way. But they arrived sale. Seven were white and one colored. The seven were In no sense, the chivalry-plain, poor white men, who never held slaves, and of the class that are jealous of the negro as a rival In work. The first trial resulted In a mis-trial. The strength of the testimony was, that the ac? cused had on clothes like that of one of the Ku-Klux, a lew days before the visit of the Ku-Klux, and this was ai, and ot course nothing. The Judge charged ably and practically, and eloquently. The jury retired, and soon found that they could not agree-eight for acquittal and four for condemnation. The eight, lt so happened, were Democrats, and the tour, one white and three colored, were Republicans, and many supposed politics controlled and brought about the mis-trial. The same Jury tried another case with the same result The other Jury acquited one and convicted another. There were two colored men on Jury No. 2. The negro's case alone remains to be disposed of, and comes off Monday week. The nature of the case forbids easy detec? tion. The face, person and horse are gene? rally so disguised as to make it impossible to discriminate the person. On the whole the trials have amounted to little or nothing. The attorneys for the defence ure Carlisle & Duncan, of Spartanburg, able law? yers, but no advocates of the Ku-Klux or their ctoun. Judge Bryan ls ia full leather here-a great favorite. In the morning on the bench; In the afternoon with Daniel Horlbeck. Esq., in a | splendid landau driving out or sitting at the j Mansion House, with Major Macbeth, and other distinguished men, in chat of country, city, age. Ihe telegraph is in full operation-a new star In our firmament. The air Line Railroad ls within the limits of our city in grading, and will be In operation next summer. It puts us nearer New ?ork than you are. The City of Greenville ls Just ready for progress like that of Atlanta and Chicago. But, alas I the drought. Thia has depressed every interest. The rains have come, are now pouring in tor? rents-too late for much rellei to corn and cot? ton. I have conversed with many farmers here, and th Is ls the result: The wheat crop was a failure; luis usually yielded thousands ol dollars In July to pay off debts, A- c. Then the corn crop will be about five-eights, more than half; then the colton will be not quite half. But, with these rains, the sweet potatoes, the peas and turnip crops wMl be fine. Greenville ls crowded. SOMERS. CRIME IR THE STATE. ?A Jin rtler N< ar Georgetown. . The Georgetown Times of August 24 says : "On Thursday, a fortnight ago. Abram Alston and Henry Fenlck left Smithville, a plantation on Santee, belonging to the estate of the late W. H. Mayrant, for the purpose cf taking a hunt-each taking his gun with him. After being gone some time, Alston returned with? out his companion. On being interrogated as to what had become ot Fenlck, he slated that they had parted Just as they had got out of the plantation, one taking one direction and the ither a different one. A week wore on, and io tidings having been bad ot Fenlck, bis 'rlends suspected that he had been foully dealt with, and had Alston arrested. Upon being arrested, Alston denied all knowledge of what lad become of the missing ?pao; out on last Sunday, while in jail, he confessed to Trial Justice W. H. Jones, Jr., that he had killed Fenick, but lt waa by accident, and that, In ils alarm, he had dug a bole and burled him. Coroner Munnerlyn, on Monday, snmmoned i Jury of Inquest, and took the prisoner ?long with him to point out the spot ffhere he had burled his victim. The lead body waa found in a secluded part >f the woods, near a swamp, buried about two feet deep, and covered by two logs. The pri loner, on being asked by the corner if he had inythlng to say, said, 'that on Thursday, the LOth of this month, at 4 o'clock, I and Henry fenlck darted bunting; alter being in the voods about one hour, Henry Fenlck was In he act of shooting a crane, and I not being )ver twenty ieet i rom bim, my gun was dis marged by a bush catching the trigger-the oad taking effect In the side of Fenlck's neck, vhlch killed him instantly. After Fenlck fell ie exclaimed, '0, my !' I then ran to the .oad-seeing no one, I went back to the dead nan and burird him in a hole where a tree lad been blown up some time be lore.' This itatement was reduced by the coroner to vrttlng, and sworn to by the prisoner. The rerdlct of the coroners Jury was: That Henry fenlck came to his death by a gun In the lands of Abram Alston. The prisoner was re nanded to Jail to await his trial at the next .erm of the court. The deceased was a colored nan, and lt is sad to relate that his slayer >ears the same complexion. They both were .egroes, working on the same plantation, rlad this killing been done by a white man vt at a terrible and hideous howl would have >een raised about the Ku-Klux being at work ?gain." Sham Ku-Klux. The Clarendon Press says: "Mr. I. L Davis nforms us that on Thursday night. last a party >f some five persons In disguise waited upon lim late at night at his residence,representing hemselves to be Ku-Klux. It seems that lome fifteen days previous to the raid, that a legro and white man-both, we believe, livln_ in Mr. Davis's land-had an altercation ia his .ard. The white maa struck the negro several imes, was indicted therefor and lodged in ail. The raiding party seemed to regard Mr. Javis as aiding and abetting the negro in the iroaecntlon of the white man, and he was in ormed that such would not be tolerated. He old them that he had nothing to do with he prosecution; on the contrary, had tried o make it up between the parties; could lave Induced th? negro to compromise, but be white man was averse to any concession, na inlormed them that he thought the negro ad done nothing more than he ought to have one, and did not regard in the leasl their tireats. Fl ?ding' thu they had failed to lntlmi ate, the valorous five left, but not before saving many warnings for the future. Mr. .avis says he has no idea that they were gen ine Ku-Klux, but regards lt a weak attempt n the part of a few irresponsible sympathizers f the Jailed white man to frighten him on ac ou nt of his supposed complicity with the rosecutioD. He thinks the-genuine 'order' ught to get hold of these spurious fellows lus practicing upon their name and offices, ad give it to them soundly for attempting to ?courage violations ot the law."

TETE EXTENT OF TUE DAMAGE ET THE | DROUGHT AND RECENT STORMS. Trustworthy Statements from Eminent j and Experienced Planters? One of the most skilful and successful ot the sea Island planters, Ur. J. Jenkins Uikell, writes to THE NEWS as follows : EDISTO ISLAND. August 18. A social gathering around the hospitable board of one of our most experienced and suc? cessful citizens, brought together from this aud neighboring islands several intelligent planlers, from whom I collected, at your re? quest, the following Information concerning the crops of these islands : Edisto Island-Area planted In cotton in 1871, 3052 acres long cotton; 40 acres short. Total 3092 acres. In 1870, 3096 acres long; 2599 acres-slfort. Total 5695 acres. The crop of this island is regarded as 33 ? per cent, bet ter than that ol last year. John's Island-Area of long cotton equal to that of last year, and prospect of crop no bettor. Wadmalaw Island-Area of long coUon 25 per cent less than that of last year, and pros peet of crop 25 per cent better. The crops ol corn on these islands are better than they have been since the war. The price of labor bas been cheaper, and the labor itself better, by reason of smaller crops having been cultivated,- and the demand for it consequently less. With a lew exceptions the crops are as good as ever they were in ante-bellum days and this improvement over the few past years is attributable mainly to better cultivation and the revived use of plantation manures. AUGUST 22. Since the above information was commun! cated, we have been visited with a continuous storm of rain and wind, which has materially changed the condition ot our cotton prospects. It will require days yet to tell the extent of the injury; but enough can be seen lo sadden the poor planter, and Impress him with the uncer? tainties of his labors. The tollowing letter, dated August 26, has been received by Messrs. Wm. U. Lawton & Co. from an Edisto planter: I bave not replied to your letter as early as you may have thought I should have done, but I could not then have given you that reliable information which you sought on ac? count of the very precarious condition In which our crops were placed by reason of the severe drought which then prevailed The whole appearance of tliin?s are now entirely changed. Our fields are flooded with water, our cropB lie prostrate and torn under the incessant storms which have raged around them for two weeks. About the 1st of July I had one of the most promis? ing crops I have ever had, either before or since the late war. It fully Justified the ex pee tat ion of one hundred and fifty pounds, su? perfine* cotton, to the acre. The utmost it can give now ls fifty pounds. Ihe drought of July and part of August almost destroyed the high lands, whilst lt increased the productive? ness of the lower lands, so that what was lost in one was regained in the other. The con? stant gal es. we are having, have BO torn and shattered the plants on the low lands, and they have been so saturated with water, that I very much doubt if they will yield more than the high lands. The gales have been most severe on the seashore. In the Interior of the island the crops have not suffered so much from the wind as from the great fall of water. The information I have given In regard to what I believe my crop will make, I do not in tend to apply to all crops on this island. Backward crops, whether so from late plant? ing, or from being put back by want of timely attention, or from any other cause, have not suffered so much from the drought,and appear to have stood the fury of . the storms better. There ls less power of endurance and recupe? ration in older than younger vegetable life, as lt ls generally the case In the animal kingdom It is with the cotton as it ls with the corn and other crops, Its .inductiveness is very much effected by Uavlug seasons to suit certain periods cf its age. Whilst early planting of? fers a fairer average ot chances In its favor, there are exceptions to this rule, and this year is one of them. From what I can gather from planters whom I have met, the injury done to the crops of cotton by the late gales ls from one-third to one-half from what was expected Lwo weeks ago, according to different locali? ties, and leaving a crop about equal to what lt was last year. The coarser grades of cotton tiave passed through the fiery and watery ordeals of the season much better than the finer. _ _ _ THE WEATHER THIS DAT. ^ WASHINGTON, August 29, The storm centre on Lakes Superior and Euron will probably on Wednesday have ex ended northeastward tar Into Canada, with southeasterly winds and rain to-night on the s'ew England coast, with southwesterly winds md local stormi from Maryland and New Jer iey northward; fresh winds from the south vest, and west from Lake Ontario to Lake Michigan.
