PROSPECT IX SOUTH CAROLINA. .^Reports From Oar Correspondents. CHESTER. Our correspondent J. F. D., writing irom Chester on the 28th, says: 1. The area in cotton in this county ls about the same os lu 1871. 2. The stand is not as good as lu 1871, and the prospect of a yield ls not as good as at the same tlmelaBt year. 3. More wheat and oats have been planted than last year. Wheat ls doing well. Oats are very Inferior. Corn le about the same as last year. 4. We do not expect to make enough grain to supply our secMon until next crop. 5. The quantity of commercial fertilizers need this year is probably about forty per cet: c. more than the consumption of last year. 6. The cost of the cotton crop this year will bo slightly diminished by the low prices of I staple provisions, such as bacon and m?lasses. ANDERSON'. Our correspondent, S., writing from Pendle? ton on the 28th, says: ly-The irea in cotton planted In Pendleton township and vicinity ls from twenty to twen? ty-five per cent, greater thsn last year. 2. We bear much complaint of bad stands, owing to the drought and baked condition ot the lund. Some nave ploughed up and re? planted. With good rains it ls believed we shall yet have fair stands, but late. Thc pros ftect for a yield equal to last year is notflatter og. 3. The area of grain crops is as much le.-s as the cotton crop ls greater than last year. The oat crop, except the fall sowing, will be entirely cut off on all uplands unless we have rain in a few days. The heads of wheat are short, but what grain ls made will be good, unless the h te heavy winds have blown off the bloom?. In which case we shall have only par? tially filled beads. Very Utile rust yet, out I much fear blight or mildew. 4. We do not expect to make enough grain to supply our section until the next crop. Less corn 1B planted and by no means a lull crop of wheat, even should the mst not attack it. Tho wheat bas been much killed out In the winter. 5. About double the quantity of commer? cial fertilizers has been sold here that was sold last year. 6. The cost of the cotton crop will, no doubt, be Increased from thc causes above suited, especially from the want of labor, and the unusual amount laid outjfor fertilizers. Pro? visions have been no,'rTrgiier than last year; bacon not as high. THE OUTLOOK IX ALABAMA. Crop Report of the Mobile Cotton Ex? change. MOBILE, May 21, 1872. It Is our endeavor to furnish our Inends with monthly repot ts of the growlog cotton crop, ana for tbls purpose we ?end monthly a a list of questions to our correspondents in the country tributary to Mobile, to be an? swered by them to the best of their knowl? edge and ability. Below we give you in aapndensed form their | answers to our first series of questions, which we beg to submit without comment. We would remark, however, that our reports from Tennessee and Georgia are very meagre, hav? ing only received them from two or three counties in each State, but we hopo in our next report to be able to give more extended Information from these States. Our reports run from the 3d to the 15th ol May; since the last date we hear of extensive rains la the Interior, which will be more par? ticularly referred to In onr next. ALABAMA. Ia most of the routines the acreage in cot? ton Is about the same, none less, ana in others J the percentage ls from five to fifteen per cent. Increase as compared with last year. Average Increase about five per cent. The acreage lo corn ls about the same, some counties reporting a decrease and others an increase of from five to twenty per cent. The use ot fertilizers bas diminished In al? most all tbe counties; Butler and Autauga being the only ones that report an increase. The weather reports are the same all over the State. The early spring wet, lollowed by a drought ol six weeks, which prevented about one-fifth of the crop from coming up, and at date of reports all complain of tbe want of rain, out the cotton that was up ls reported to be in a remarkably favorable condition. There ha? Leen a slight decrease in the labor, but the ?eneral report ls, that lt ls more effi? cient. . MISSISSIPPI. All the counties report an increase in the acreage of cotton, varying Irom ten to thirty per cent., the average In the whole State he? ine fully Alteen per cent, larger than last y em.

We learn from a reliable farmer of Upson County that owing to the protracted drought I he stand ot colton In that county is very poor. Theft ls great complaint among the ?armers about a stand of cotton. They say their crops will not average more than half a Bland. Griffin Star. We hope the ground ls wet enough to bring up the colton and start that which has been worked over. There I? still much complaint about bad stands; but all say that the cotton plant, where lt ls up and has been worked, U very strong and healt h v.-Madison Appeal. Cotton is growing ou' well, though tue aver? age stand throughout the country is not good. The dry weather during the latter part of april and tne first half of tb? present month pre? vented much cotton from coming up.- Wash? ington Gazette. There ls much complaint among the farmers about ihe bad stand of cotton. It has not come up, owing either to bad seed or to the dry weather. If the rains do not cause the seed to come up there must necessarily be a short crop, as t he seed ar- not in the country to replant.-Thomaston Herald. Cotton that is up is doing very well, but a vast deal was planted just as the drought set in. and the moisture that sprouted the seed dried away before the tender shoot could es? cape, and there ls now no hope of Its coming at all. In consequence of this, the acreage to be cultivated ls cut short materially.- AIba ny News. It ls feared the last planting of cotton, done with defective seed in many Instances "will prove a failure. There is a great deal of col? ton not up, and th? plantlBg not through with on many farms. The corn is small and the grotind very hard so as to prpvent its cultiva? tion and growth. All the cotton lhat ls up ls being ploughed and cropped to a stand. The hot sun is acting on lt Anely-Talbotton Standard. After general Inquiry among planters throughout the county, we find that there is a tolerably good stand of colton. Some iarmers say they never had cotton to do better, while others complain of very poor Btands and hare had much replanting to do. Whore cotton came up good it ls generally doing good. Elberton Gazette. THE CROPS Ilf FLORIDA. Newspaper Reports. We notlceed that the corn crop between Palatka and Mellon ville looks fair, nod prom? ises an average yield. The dry weather seems not to bave injured eitner the corn or cotton. Palatka (Fla.) Herald. We had a ver, refreshing shower on Tues? day afternoon about Monticello and south? ward. The dry weather had played havoc with the gardens, but cotton and corn looks flourishing. Most of the crops are clean, and the plnuters are UD with their work.-Monti? cello (.Fla.) Advertiser. ?..A correspondent of the Gainesville (Flo.) Era, writing from Micanopy, says: The cot? ton crop, I am clad to say, is In a flourishing condition in this section, though it is a little too dry-we need rain very much. Corn ls not doing so well; lt is buming up and dying for the want of rain. The corn made last year is not good. The weevil hateaten lt up; consequently, If there is not. agood crop made this year, the country will bein alud condi? tion. But if we just caa get rain, 11 nink there will be a good crop. It has bet II a splendid time to kill grass, and I believe I he farmers, as a gene i al thing, have their crops pretiy clean. The oran.'e trees are doing very well, considering the dry weather. There w'lil be a tremendous crop this year. The trees hnve shedded a great many, but lhere is a largo crop of them left. There never was known lo be such a heavy crop in a great many years. The banana in al?o doing well-in fact, every? thing In tbe fruit line promises large crops. THE LOWERY OUTLAWS. Interesting; Particulars of their Inter? view willi Colonrl P. M. Wishart at DionNcrk>Howthey Emrappcd him Their]Perfidious Treachery and Fiend? ish Brutality. (Prom theLnmberton, N.e., Robesonlan ] We are enabled to present eome interesiing Sarticulare of ihe Interview of Colonel F. li. Tunart with the outlaws af M.^s Neck, u 1 JW days before bis assassination by them. On Friday belore his death Colonel Wishart was aboard the regulur through freight train, which arrived at Moss Neck at 3 P. M., and was at that time occupying a*eat In the con? ductor's cab in the rear ol the train. Soon after the train halted the two outlaws, Andrew Strong and Stephen Lowery, ap? proached the car and reco^nlzlug Colonel Wishart, accosled him in a civil and friendly way. Stephen Lowery Inquired whether he bud any arms, and went aboard the cab io saii-fy himself ou that point, Andrew Strong remaining on the piazza of ihe siore within a few leet of the train. Andrew was In his shirt sleeves, and wore only one pistol In his belt; but Stephen carried in Ms haud a Spencer rifle and lu lils belt Ave elegant pistols-two'Der? ringers, one Smith & Wesson and two Colt's. Oi ent?rine tue car Stephen demanded io see his arms, wnen Colonel Wishart drew aside ihe skirt of his coat and displayed the hand.e. of a repeater, which he assured ihe om law was the ouiv weapon be carried. Stephen at once made a grab at the pistol as if to suatch II I (rom its place, but Colonel Wishart toiled this attempt by dexterously leaplug from the car to tue piazza ol the store where ihe outlaw was standing, und con fro nil nix MC ph en who v.'as standing in ihe dour of the car from which he had Just es? caped, flood with his hand upon his pistol. Tue outlaws now assured bim that they ineaul him no harm and only wished a friendly con? ference, and at Andrew's request he wulked willi bim behind the store, where they re malnd for pome time in conversation, while Stephen remained on board the car, and seemed to take no Interest in what, wan passing betweeu his comrade and Colone Wishart. As the train wai aoout to move off j Colonel Wishart returned lo the car, ann meeting Stephen on ihe platform the latter was heard io say: "When I send for you again you come. I'll send a friend for you In a few days, and you come and meet ns," aud Colonel Wishart promised to do so. The rest of this strange. Bad story, with its melancholy, iragie end, ls but loo well known. Ou Thursday morning next, after this Interview, a messenger-who it was nobody koows, or, perhaps, ever will know-bore io Colonel Wishart, at Snoe Heel, the summons which was to lead him away io death. True lo his word, he prepared to obey, and, sad? dling his mule, he rode directly, unarmed and alone, io the spot named by the messenger. What occurred there was witnessed by no hu? man eye besides those of the aciors In the fearful tragedy, but In tne afternoon of the same day a citizen of the neighborhood was horrified by the discovery of the body o? tne ga lant Wishart, all stark aud sllff, and cov? ered with gore, lying by me roadside. Two hideous, gaping wouu is, one through Ihe body, the other through the head, showed how foully he bad beeu murdered. Thu mule on which be rode stood fastened lo a limb near by, and appearances showed that when shot. he was reclining on ihe earth, whittling the end of a small alick, and unsuspecting ol danger. It ls -robable that these treacherous sud cowardly fiends had concealed themselves lu ambush near ihe spot, and that ibe first intimation he had ol their presence' were the two shots that hurled his brave, unsuspected soul Into eternity. A more cowardly, brutal and cold-blooded mur? der does not slain the annals ol crime among the most barbarous people that ever Inhabited the earth. And yet tbese men gu unpun? ished- their scores of murders, of which this ls the latest and In many respects the most startling-go unavenged. Stephen Lowery proudly boasts that he committed the mur? der-that he killed Colonel Wixbari-he does this publicly, nod In the presence of the Irlends ot ihe murdered man, and yet no one raises a hand against him or at?omp?s to avenge the death ol' one who sacrillcea bis life for the safety of tho community.

Though seven years have passed away, the best description or the scene of the bailing of Jefferson Davis by Mr. Greeley has Ju3t been given by George Alfred Townsend to the Chi? cago Tribune. He represents the Cincinnati nominee as at that time really cutting the Gordian not when the country WBB delibera? ting whether to commit an act which would be repented ever afterward, by hanging Davis or keep him a prisoner as Queen Elizabeth did Mary Stuart. '-Horace Greeley took the public mind off Davis and became in turn the best abused mau in America. He played mercy and magnanimity, and closed up the war without shedding a life to stain the victo? ry of freedom." We quote from Mr. Town? send's letter: TUE COURT-ROOM. Monday morning the United Slates granite building was the town rendezvous. Ii stood at ihe foot ol' the State capitol hill, where the Davis government ruled with brief but tre? mendous energy, and where all departments quarrelled, and o!d Jeff, himself snowed al! the weakness and strength of n destructlonlst. In this court-room presided a very foi bidding look lng judge, by name Uuderwood-a man apparently stunted and bleached by v. ron gs and leurp, bur, tor all I know, a con? silient and persistent man-born In the North, wedded to a slaveholder's daughter lor whom he was ttuor, and now very ambitious and une nari tab e to his beaten neighbors. The charge this man had delivered to the grand Jury, a few days before, was a strong instance ot merely tantalizing declamatlou, bad In splilt, mean In Ungi is ge and without the tone or intent of Justice lu it. Tne grand Jury was composed of whites and blacks-Hie usual Intelligent jury exiting in a lialf-guilty dependence between the judge and tbe foreman. John Minor Botts was on the jury-a big-bellied, hale fellow, larmer politi? cian, two-thirds demagogue, aud one third ob? stinacy, with the vatnisii and veneer ot elo? quence over all; a talker by profession, who boasted thal be had never read a book since boyhood, but lived on newstiapers and other stlmulauis. He ls dead, and carved hts page on the hisiory of the country. What contrary and heroic tmngs men do for many years to get that page! JEW. MEETS UORACK. The light was fair In the court-room, and, in due time. Jeff. Davis entered. He wore common clothes, looked weak-eyed, was not un important-looking man, and seemed lo me not worth so much huting and fuss. He had been very unpopular In Richmond, but the people naturally felt that he was now vica? riously on trial lor them, and they loyally etood by him. Tnere are people, I know, wno want ihe Southern people to behave us tlaacrott Davis expected England to behave - like weeping flunkeys, maning over at the eyes ami lips with ap dogies.' Our fellow? man ls no swindler. When he carries his musket four years barefooted to keep up ihe interests and save the necks of politicians, he ls slow io cry on order. Colos? sal lniants like Senator Frau, ot Indiana, may { go on to this day hating tue Soutn for Ils 1 want of mean contrition. Tnls sort ol' man * Naiure meant io be an old maid, and write treatises on i he bringing up ol children. What 1 does ne know about mea und our nature, big * as he ls ? ' I saw lhere Charles O'Conor, of New York, 1 who was af erwards to oe so potential and In- ' dependent in prosecuting the Tammany Ring, 1 and tims Insensibly lieuding the fraternal rev? olution; General Imboden, who was to write 1 a very beautiful letter lotta Cincinnati Con- j vention In Horace Greeley's favor; and, I J think, Frank Sternes, a lellow-Vermonter ' with Greeley by birth, who was to boor Imoo- ' deu's letter to Cincinnati. Lastly, I saw 1 Horace Greeley himself enter the court-roam, j und become the locus ot ooservai lou. - Mr. Greeley I had never spoken with up to (hut day. He was u large, fl-sliy, marked- ] looking man. with a smooth, healthy face, lu ' which ihe colors were brighter than men usu- 1 ally keep. He had a deep, benevolent fore' I head, anil wore, I think, a suit ot black broad- 1 cloth. Hd seldom wears a white coat at any 1 time, almougn caricature so represents him. j and his hal in his hand was Ihe same quality and snape he has always carried since-a 1 oroad-rimmed ielt, soil and floe, and senslole ! and dressy enough for auy person. He was ' dressed as Well us anybody lu Richmond. He ? looked to me like a man originally shy and basnml, and Incurably retiring by native wish, - and who, therefore, came lor A ard on public ' occasions irom propulsion rather than irom ' enjoyment. His smile, at such times of exhi- ' bli iou, ls that ol a good-humored boy who 1 wouid much rai her go play In Hie yard than ' extuolt before company; and lt occurred to me there that, for worldly uses, a man might 1 have such a thing as too exuberant health 1 and temperance. He spoke to lew, and then siwa)s by request*, and he was, to a great ex- 1 tenu the reigning influence in that presence. Underwood, the Judge, with whom lay the option of taking bail, paid much more respect ? to Horace Greeley's Intentions than to Mr. ? Davis. Aller Ihe bond was signed, Mr. Greeley stepped back toward a column or pillar where lie ha l first stood, Mr. Davis ruse irom his chair with a sm de of respect, und reached out lils hand, bowing like one under deep 1 ooligatlon, and fully accepting the act In Us benevolent spirit. Mr. Greeley took the hand, without speaking, so far as I could see, and the action ins:ed only a portion of a moment. The two have never had communication -ince. Mr. Voorhees says that Mr. Greeley's act was meddlesome Impertinence. A public man who could stigmatize a large and painstaking act of kindness line that, in such terms, bas a querulous and provincial nature, and a gene? rous age waaies time upon him. What med? dlesome impertinences was not Mr. Vuorhees guilty of during the war-prolonging it by his example, adding stupidity to the inevitable, and assuming that the whole epic tragedy re? volved about himself. To save his seal in Congress, and remember some old grudge, personal only tn him, mis long haired egotist would recommend personal government UH doomsday, and load the carpet-hag hanging round lite Heck of the South. That imperti? nent act of Horace Greeley, braire as lt was, had nearly driven him from ihr head of the Tribune. Aller the crowd lett the cf t-room, Mr. Greeley proceeded directly to his hotel, In tne company of Mr. B itis, and. Introducing , myself, tue former said: "Wily, Gath, why haven't you Introduced yourself to rae before ? Come, wai k down the street." . THE BMALf.-MINDED HOWL. That night the Richmond newspaper folkr gave us ali a supper, and Mr. Greeley presided. He gave a toast In cold water that tho en m I iles ol toe past be on ri ed, and we lay our hands and hearts to the peace of the future. We all, Gree? ley excepted, drank a great deal of champagne, and young rtacFarland, editor of Forney's Washington Cnronlcle. (a paper now defunct, I believe, killed by a Biheralan Duned Fox, by Holden, Hie Norili Carolina outlaw, and by M -rrls, a renegade preacher,! toasted Jeff. Davis, for whicii Hie smad-mlnded and timid Forney afterward cut off McFarland's head. As nearly as I caa remember my speech, lt was to tue effect that the provost marshal and the man la buttons had hud his day; that the best way to spoil the American volumeer was io make him believe that nobody else had ever served lils country from the nosiest motives; and that for myself, long an array correspond? ent. I had seen a great deal ol meanness, Jealousy, Intrigue and several penitentiary offences committed In the army, and hailed Us disbandment and the opening of the prison doors to them that were bound. Linie did we know th? fury that was gath? ering in ihe North for Hoface Greeley. The New York Times, never truly in earnest ex? cept when it gets th? Tribune foul, had its brief revenge, and was meaner than ever. The Chrisliau press kept Cnrisl's admonition with a vengeance, "BJ good to your enemies; pray for them lliat cle.spiiefuliy me you." I ara afraid I have never beeu charitable to trie Ciirl-t lin nresa ever since. I ascertained that ihe New York Independent and several of its pious contemporaries farmed out their finan? cial columns. My own account of the cuuri scene was gutted and altered In a very Imper? tinent manuer by the editor of the paper em pipping me, and VJ. Greeley gent to me in vain lor the MS. to ne to the Tribune. I do know that i hecityof Richmond appre? ciated Hint act. The feeing that day all over the fire-scarred capital d* the Old 'Dominion was a warming lonltvto the Union again. The noisy rebuke is busied now, and none ac? cuse the act but a very iseless and showy In? diana Democrat. The nan who went on the bond ot Jefferson Divs will preside In the White House at vTaHhinrton from the 4ih day o? next March, aid piove the pen, In the hands of one ec Urey mtfciiul, mightier (han the sword.

THE rOLUlCAL JblELD. NEWS AND GOSSIP ABOUT THE COM? ING CONTEST. The Louisiana Republicana for Greeley. NEW ORLEANS, May 29. The Republican State Convention organized here yesterday. The programme is to present resolutions In favor of Greeley today, and li they are rejected the Greeleyltes will with? draw. Greeley'* Strength. (From the Brooklyn New Torte Eagle.] It ls plain that the 8outh will, at Baltimore, present a solid delegation ia favor of the nom? ination of Greeley abd Brown,, and in favor of a simple reissue ol the Cincinnati platform. The sixty-eight electoral votes, ol New York State will be added to that list, with the eighteen of New-Jersey, the twenty-two ol Kentucky, the ten of California, the twelve of Connecticut, the twenty-two of Mlssouil, the thirty of Illinois, the six of Kansas, the four? teen of Maine, and ihe twenty of Tennessee, with many other States already committed by every Indication events have BO far furnished. The result ls as follows lor Mr. Greeley's noml natlon-at Baltimore : Total for Greeley, so far, at Baltimore, 438; total vote of convention, (estlmat-d,) G28; two-thirds necessary to a tiomiaailon, 418J; Greeley's majority over two-thirds 19J. Thl.s calculation ls based upon data which any readers can verify if they do as we have' done-look up the papers and the political proceedings of tho various States. The-estl mate of the delegates to the convention re? quires double the number of representatives and senators In Congress under the census ot 1870. We have, perhaps, unwarrantably lett out a few (States that will ranee under the Greeley banner. Onlo certainly bids fair to. The Enquirer, Columbus Journal, C. riet u natl Telegraph, and C<eveland Plalnaealer, all predict that she will. Tne Indiana (In? dianapolis) Sentinel, a good paper In a Slate too barren "of Conservative journals, says that Indiana will 'too. Massachusetts and New HampBuire surely should do -o too. Ver? mont likewise. Bot we have taken nothing for granted. j The more Intelligent Eastern and Western Democracy are persuaded lhat **all roads from Greeley load to Grant." ur that Cincin? nati Is the deck and all else ts the sea. Gene? ral Imboden squarely says the North must lake Greeley or lose the South, meaning the Northern Democracy. Under different cir? cumstances this might be repente J US a men? ace, btu it ls only a piala fact, and ls a Justi? fiable ?talement. Tue Soutii lathe supreme sufferer, by Graotlsm. She ls robbed, and gagged, aud torn. "Anything to beat Grant" oecumes a matter of life or death to the SouLh. Uer murderets, instead of being handed, are In her legislatures, der thieves, Instead ol being in jail, ore kept In asher governors, or let misrepresent her in the S?mate of ihe Called brate*. The Northern Liberal Repub? licans an i all decent men Soutn are of one miod in desiring to pitt a stop io this state of things. The Northern Democracy can Join them and put a stop to such wrongs, or they can re-elect Grant by making a straight nomi? nation of a D?mocratie dummy in Grant's ' ur crest; Now, the South squarely gives no? nce lhat If lbs Northern Democracy GO the lat? ter 'thing, they aod.the South will part.com? pany. It lids were a matter of mere prhie of opinion, such aa ultimatum would be rash and foolish. ' But lt ls, as said, a mailer of lite and death for the Som h to get out from under the harrow of Grautlsm-and ll the Northern Dem? ocracy only show that all they are goo i for ls 10 be electioneers for Gran: fora second term, then the South will be as spiritless, as stupid, to train any more la that crowd. We bede vc these plum lads ure appreciated Norih. The appreciation ol them Ia shown by the tact tnat the nomination ot Greeley at Bal 11 m ore almost seems Inevitable. We may add, not tn menace, but aa simple (ruth, mat the voling membership ot the Brooklyn and New York'Democracy cannot be held up to the mark if u Democratic dummy be put forward ut Baltimore In thc real interest of Grunt. These cities control this Staff. This State will control the canvass ot' fhe country. If Gree? ley, oe thrown overboard al Biltimure, enough Democrats will st! 1 vole for him to let Giant carry New-York State. The most determined efforts against lt would not avail. The tunes are revolutionary of all orolnary political pro? cesses. Men won't march up and voie thu regular tickets any more uulees they are made In their likeness. We are dealing wlih tacts not as we would have them, but as wu find them. And tne Biiilin'ore Convention will have to luke lacie luto account If it does not want history to take ll lo account lor the con? tinuance ol the administration lhat ls bent upoa the reversal or our system of govern? ment. The statement of Mr. Greeley'a probable strength at B il ii more is, as before said, not so comprehensive 'as perhaps it should be made. Tne circumstances lo which we have caded attention, and winch are dally more und more appreciated, will force other Slates ato line, in case present Indications ure borne out, we presume that the Greeley strength will be so overwhelming that what energy might otherwise be needed for the canvass will go io seittug. sucn a walch un Grunt that ne cannot keep himself la by "car? rying" elections by force aud fraud. Authoritative Statement or Governor Seymour's Punition. The Utica Observer, Governor Seymour's organ, In a double-leaded editorial, says: Governor 8eymour ls abseutfrom home, and we are not able to verily Hie statement that lu hus wri. ten a letter to Hon. Samuel a. Cox ou the poll leal situation, wnereln lie luke? ground favoiablu io Greeley's endorsement by the Belmore Convention. But the substance ot the reponed letter, as telegraphed to tht Chicago Tribune, embraces sub-tanilally th? same views wnloh the Govornor has expressed ti private conversation. He Is represented af saying: *-Mr, Greeley's election will be a pre servaiive step toward local neighborhood gov er tune n I, and wnl si op the course of overbear lng Federalism. We can have Democratic principles In nome measure by acceding to th? great revolution In his favor which ls sweep lng over the country. Ia this State it ls Irre sisiible. I have not been on personal terms with Mr. Greeley lor some time, but lhere li wisdom Und heartiness ia the ?popular move ment to support him. I recognize in thesytn patby between himself and me voting masset an element stronger than talent or fitness He hus ihe talent and fitness to suit the tempei of the linus." The opinions hereby attrlbu'et o Governor Seymour ure heartily endorsee by the great body of Democrats throughout the country. Tue , indications are huptfu hat a union of all the Llb Tal elements In th? country will be formed to compass Hie over throw ol'Grandam and to stay the progress o corruption. A Clonit on the Greeley Horizon. A New York letter of Saturday to the Phlla delpli la Ledger says: The Journal of Commerce, which ia locket upon by many as a sort of Meuljr of Hie De mocracy, has a leading ai tide ibis murnini hlch attracts greater >ittentl*n than pol?tica anieles usually do. Relerrlng to the Demo eratic National Convention, lt brings loi wart proposition which alone, li thinks, c in sav< the Democracy and Hie Lib?rais irom snip wreck. The substance ol ihe proposition ls that the convention adorn a platfjri.: "as ac ceptable as the ooe prepared atCincinna'l and place upon il a prominent Liberal Repub Hean, who has never been au nnscnipulou,' partisan, (Adams, or one as honest and un selflrili as ?e) fur President, and a Democra high character and unsullied reputation foi Vice." Tne Journal, though in the iree iradi Interest, han all along been counted os a sup porter ol' Mr. Greeley, but thl.s article unset les that ssleaUlloa. . There Isa shrewd suspl eton among Democrats ot a certaiu class tha is Journal of Commerce article loresnadow e policy to be pumuect by the anti Grvele; men. Tue lYiouue of this morning has somi lmatloos of ihe same kind, in Hs Vastring ton despatches, and Mr. Greeley bimsen 1 reporte.u as saying lhat ihe complexion o Illings begins lo look forbidding. Tue fret is the letter ol Senator Ferry has cooled off mud Hie Democratic feellug, which previous! wa?, In this quarter, "red-hot" for the farme Chappaqua. ? M.EM.B? a ia A. ju. ' . / -.

[From the Rock Hill Lantern.] York 1B most deeply interested In the tri? umph of the party of honesty. Justice and am- j nesi y. Th- Iron heel of Federal despot Um ls crushing the lile out of ber-ruining while and coloied alike. She must bu relieved of bayo? net law. Her citizens must have the.r rlgnis restored. She longs for a reign ot quiet ibat her citizens may repair their wasted estates, recuperate her strength that bas been exhaust? ed by outrageous taxation, engage lu their peaceful avucailons undisturbed by Ku-Klux raiders or Giant's cavalry; and thus ouce more get into ihe paths of peace and prosperity;they nave endured ihe horrois of war, the miseries o.' Ititern.il disorder, the strife o? races, the Iniquities of thief-rule, and the cruel grasp ot ihe malled hand ol her unscrupulous despot, long enough. The triumph o? the Liberal party ?lil bring relief, and set our country at rest. Then lei us lend our little strength to the movement: looking to it as our only hope of relief. York will be but a drop in tne national bucket; but let her influence, such aa lt ls, be cast for. the party of peace and right. . ? - ? Ni THE COLORED KC-KLUX. jin Arrogant Asaamp.lon or Authority. [ Frem the Columbia Carolinian.] We are Informed t.iat ihe two colored per* sonn who were arrested at C luton and carried j to Char estoo some time since, la company I with the whites, charged with Ku Kluxlsm, aro still held lu confinement in tho Jail here. It will be remembered that Judge Bond or? dered them to be returned to Laurens to give recognizance for iheireappearance at the spe? cial term of ine United mates Circuit Court here. But somebody has arrogated the au? thority to stop them here in transit?, and, by keeping tnem in confinement, to deprive tbem 01 the right to ball, which was accorded them?even by Judge Bond. This strikes us as. one ol the most fla? gitious and arrogant assumptions of authority uy some irresponsible officer, which ought to be the more promptly exposed and punished, because the victims ure colored men, not per? haps us weil aware of their rights or as able to maintain them as their more fortunate white companions in bonds, who were arrested for tne same ofleuce and haue long oiuce been re? leased on bail under the order of the court which equally covers their case. ? The case ls one without excuse, os we are informed that the prisoners stand ready to tender ample bail, ii permitted to do so. In Laurens County.
