COLUMBI^/ Thursday Morning, August 30, 1888. Renewal vt Stru4> ~M~7^* - '.W. G. Brownlow, Governor of Tennessee," has issued aa address lo the fieotfe ^f-i?* S****** !r?oh " of that tdiaracW*whicl? stamps ito au? thor as a man of Mood- In this manifest?, he declares his.purpose 1 hat all the radical^eeeuresshall be ( carrfed ouTin^ejmiBBsee, even ai the poi?t ?o# the' p*fof?*?+fo tte* "he . will call out the loyal militia ot the ; .State, and call upo? the legislature to H rm and equip them," and sustain the iadfcar"GroveriunentB, ??te and national, Ar fall with our faces to the foo;" and adda, "I shall look -with eonfiden J to the Norlii-westeffi' States to come to our rescue." He threatens: "If another"-arar shall be forced upon the country, the loyal masses, who constitute an overwhelming ma? jority Xft- th? people of this great nation, intend it shall be no child's play. They wiU, as they ought to do, make the entire Southern XJonfede *-acy as God found.the earth when he commenced the work of creation, .without form and void.' They will not and ought not to leave a rebel fence-rail, out-Louse or dwelling in the eleven seceded States. Andas fur the rebel population, let them be exterminated. And when the war ia wound up, which shoulu be done ra? pidly, and with swift destruction-let t he lands be re-surveyed and sold out to nay tho expenses of the war, and Settled only by a people who w& re? spect the stars ana stripes. ?r*WKtrald another conflict of arms be forced upon the country-as I honestly believe it will, by the Com? bined efforts of Northern traitors and Southern rebel?-the w?lk of recon? struction, after the conflict is over, I WiR-be easy. A Surveyor-General, with a deputy and land office for each County in the rebel States, and a few bayonets to guard them, are all that will be required." . Th ? abo ve two ! paragraphs ?re worthy of the fiendish mind and brain that' concocted them; they are written ia plainer language, perhaps, than the - utterances of othes radical writers, as they come oat in all their natural depravity, without any at? tempt to gloze them over with smooth words, or clothe them in decent lan? guage. Batj^iever^eless, the gene? ral scntfufenx OT tff? whole tribe are the same-the.utter subjugation of the ' Southern' people, and, if needs be, their extermination. Wo are forced to the conclusion that these threats, taken in connec? tion with the defiant tone he uses to? wards the President of the United States,-acid similar outgivings from the leading radical journals threugh ortt""the country-the riots at New ( )deans and the incendiary appeals of Forney at Philadelphia, betoken the existence of a wide-spread conspi? racy-, tc plunge the country into an? other civil war, unless the leaders of t he revolutionary party can carry out their schemes at the ballot-box. Thad. Stevens, Forney, Brownlow, Logan, and their under-strappers, the so-called martyrs Dostie and Hahn, all speak the same language-all foment? ing discord and exciting to insurrec? tion and rebellion against the Go? vernment, and aU this without the shadow of an excuse but the con? tinued punishment of the South and keeping themselves in power. Brownlow, like some other radical writers, professes to foresee that the President will see justice done to the Southern members of Congress, even if he has to use force to secure them in their rights. He says: '.An attempt to force Southern traitors into their seats in Congress with bayonets will be made the occa sion for t he outbreak. Let the de? spot now at the head of the Govern? ment attempt a tiling of this kind il j he dare. A million of gallant Union ? men will at once appear in the Dis? trict of Columbia, surrounding both the Capitol and White House, dis? posing of the heads, of leading traitors after the most approved style of the ugo in which the King of England lost his head." Again, the radical organs have pro? cured another ally in a paper which, at one time, had a wide circulation at the South -Wilkes* New York Sj>irit of the Times. In an article calling upon the people of the North to prepare for the corni g conflict, it says: "Meii like Andrew Johnson and WiQiam H. Seward, who suppressed the New Orleans Convention by force of arms, will not hesitate to enforce their power *after the same fashion' in Washington, in December next. When the dreaded crisis comes, os we believe it will, the text of the second revolution will be opan.-d, and then ?".ry man in the country will be I called upon to fight. If our institu- ! We have no ide? that tl? radical faction will bo'suecesafuf at the bal? lot-box, this fall, and it may be that these reckless mea and their mis? guided followers, will precipitate the country into another civil war; hut we have so much confidence in the vir? tue, intelligence and patriotism of the people, and in -^e firmness and wisdom ?* tha Executive, as to be? lieve that such a war would be short, jihafp End decisive, and crush oat for? ever the enemies of a restored Union. Tho QoMn om Ute Fitilam. From the full report of the Queen's speech, at the adjournment of Parlia? ment, we make the following ex? tract: "A, wide-spread, treasonable con? spiracy, having for its objects the subversion of Her Majesty's authori? ty in Ireland, the confiscation of pro? perty, and the establishment of a rc pud he, having its seat in Ireland, but deriving its principal support from naturalized citizens of a foreign and friendly State, compelled her Majesty, at the commencement of the present session, to assent to a mea? sure, recommended by her representa? tive in Ireland, for the temporary sus? pension, in that part of her Majesty's dominions, of the habeas corpus act. That measure, firmly but temporarily acted on by the Irish Executive, had .tibia effect of repressing any outward manifestations of treasonable inten? tions, and of causing the withdrawn] from Ireland of the greater portion of those foreign agenta by whom the conspiracy was mainly fostered. Tht leaders, however, of this movement were not deterred from prosecuting their criminal designs beyond the limits of her Majesty's dominions. They even attempted, from the terri tories of the United States of Amer i ca, an inroad upon the peaceful sub jeets of her Majesty in her Nortt American provinces. "That attempted inroad, however, Only served to manifest, in th< strongest manner, the loyalty ?nc devotion of her Majesty's subjects ii those provinces, who, without excep tion of creed or origin, united in de fence of their sovereign and thei: country. It served also to show th* good faith and scrupulous attentioi to international rights displayed ty the Government of the United States whose active interference, by check in g any attempted invasion of i friendly State, mainly contributed ti protect her Majesty's dominion against the evils of a predatory in road. Her Majesty would have beei rejoiced at the close of the presen session to be enabled to put sn em to the exceptional legislation whicl she was compelled to sanction at it commencement; but the protectioi which her Majesty owes to her 1 u subjects leaves her no alternative bu that of assenting to the advice of he Parliament to continue till their nex meeting the provisions of the exist in, law. Her Majesty looks anxior.sl; forward to the time when sho may b enabled to revert to the ordinary prc visions of the law." Mons ABOUT MK. DA VIS' K ELKAS J A Fortress Monroe corresponden writes: It is well known that strenuou efforts have lately been made i Washington, and interviews hav been sought with President Johnso over and over again, though iu a mor quiet manner than formerly, by Chat O'Conor and many other warm friend of Mr. Davis, for the purpose t making a final effort to secure his coi: ditional parole, upon the ground < his continued ill-health. The pressure which has thus bec brought to bear upon President John son, and other considerations and ic fluenoes, it is generally thought, hav at last forced him to yield, and thu he will shortly grant Jeff. Davis parole on very nearly the same cor ditions prescribed to Clement C. Claj In fact, this is the prevailing opinio here, and many have remarked, b way of corroboration, that Mrs. Davi lias appeared more cheerful and li vel since her sudden return from Canad; than was ever before noticed in he usually desponding countenance. LotnsvrLXJt.-An immense mai meeting was held at Louisville, o Saturday night, to ratify the proueet ings of the Philadelphia Conventioi A despatch says: General Forrest presided, and a* dressed the meeting, saying he wan ed no more fighting, and when 1. laid down his arms, ho bore malic against no Northern man. Pol ticians, he said, conld not be trustee and those who wanted to stay i home were the ones to send to* tl Legislature and Congress. He wi willing to trust everything to thoi he had met upon the field, but tho* who shirked duty and were casematx at Washington, could no more 1 trusted than those who did the san thing in the South. He was followed by Hon. Gustav) Henry, in an eloquent and lengtl speech. Resolutions were adopte accepting the address of tho Philadt ?hia Convention, and endorsing tl 'resident's policy. The meeting wi .ne of the largest and most euthns astic ever held iu this city. rat'Kastenal Conventfon is one of anomalous character, ?0 far as it bears upon tho States of the South. You are aware how strenuously nearly every paper in the State urged repre? sentation in that body. But what is the sequel? When t?a? proceedings of the Convention arrived South, I observed that, almost without excep? tion, every paper which had advo? cated going to Philadelphia, in com? menting upon those proceed inga, took exception to so much of them as seemed to; and did, boar unfavorably upon the dignity of the South. 500 delegates from the South attended, and not one dissenting voice among them all was found. Their own con? stituents-those who sent them there -have objected moro or less indig? nantly to their action in the Conven? tion. " What is the consequence? They have repudiated that very part of the decision and action of the Convention, which was designed as ?lie peculiar influence to control the elections iu the North this fall. Thus have they diluted the action of the Convention, and remanded them? selves to the very position they held before the Convention met. They thus virtually leave their Northern friends just where they were before the Convention met. they liave put their hands to the plow and looked backward, and hence will not be regarded worthy of confidence by the North. Do you ask how have they done all this? I answer: The whole address and declaration of principles, representing and ema? nating from tho unanimous voice of tho Convention, have been sifted, and only so much endorsed as was thought not to compromise the self-respeot of the South. This is as if the South should now sa? : "Yes, we unite with the conservatives of the North, for thc restoration of the Union;" bul. Now, to put "lints" and "ifs" to a sanction of the action of the Con? vention, is adding conditions prece? dent to united action with the North, after an official declaration of what those conditions shall be. This hos been done by the press South, as far as I have been able to observe its comments upon the proceedings ol the Convention. I find the Colum? bia, Richmond, Charleston and Mem? phis papers, and the press generali \ throughout the South, objecting, anil many of them ridiculing thc action ol the Southern delegates in the Na tional Convention. And, I see that Forney's paper is copying these com meats, to prove therofrom that tlx whole South repudiates tho Couces sious made by those delegates. I was of those who from the firs opposed the cutrunce of tho Soutl iuto thc Philadelphia Convention because I believed that the very basi of the call for that Convention cm ' braced doctrines and dogmas thu the South must yield to by her ven acceptance of the invitation to mee the North there. But when the Con vention i d meet, and issued its over tures, i voice of objection uros from those mho opposed the whole thing until th "ndiusiastic friends of the Con vention from its bey inning raised objec tions. I felt that if a bad bargaii had, indeed, been struck, it wouli be time enough to discover it. I be lieved that the issue made by tb Convention, on the part of the con I servatives, with the radicals, wouh ? not be decided until the end of th fall elections; and therefore that goo? policy demanded an ac? ink scence ot the part of the whole South in th declarations of the Convention, evet though there was much that was pe culiarly distasteful to us of the South As much as I respect the talents o ' our Governor, and the high position which he has held, and the one li now holds, I believed, and so an uounced, that it was unfortunate h was placed so prominently in the for?, ground of the opening of the schem ! to hold a convention. I regret it th j more now, because, as our Governor it hus brought upon him ridicule fror, his own friends who sent him there And those frien?ls have shown b I their objections to tho measures h voted for, that they, too, think thor I is much that is distasteful and humi hating in the proceedings of the Cou vention. If, then, the Convention prove failure, upou whom will the fault lay Not upon those who opposed goin, i into it, but upon the very parties wk advocated, by all means, representa tion, and whose opposition to th Convention is entirely cr post facie Whatever good might have resulte*] or that will result, will have so t 1 do, in spite of the wounds the Coi vention receives from its own friend.* Those of us who opposed eonsciet tiously the Convention, have more t regret than we could have desired first, that the South went into th Convention, and. second, that its ow friends have turned upon it, and CK ciipy the very position wo did, whs it is now too late for a remedy. Th best remedy would have been t makp the most of a bad bargain. L> B. McCREIGHT. The Charleston Courier says: ". colored man, whose name we did nc learn, while passing on tho West *i<l of Meeting street, just above Wen worth, was seized with violent cram} in his stomach, and cried out fe assistance. Before any could be re] df.red, however he fell and ulnio un mediately expired.' are fron? tba pens of distinguished clUjtns 2b the Honorable A. P. AldrtchSm: Allow me (o address you on UM important subject of the day, so important tost the very existence of tho planters depends apon ita proper solution. I take the liberty to address TOO, knowing your opinions, and I desire, if I can, to strengthen them, by statine to you my views on the subject. I will not enter into the argument whe? ther the stay law is constitutional or not; bat I will simplv remark that, if tho Con? stitution alluded to is the Constitution of the United States, that Constitution can have nothing to do with us, until we are admitted as co-equal States; until repre. sentation and taxation move together har? moniously. The material points which I desire to bring to your consideration, I will now state. First: What was the condition of the State before tho war? I think the mere affirmation of the condition of the State then, argument enfficiont: Universal prosperity. Second: What was the condi? tion of the Slate after Oeneral Lee's sur? render? Universal ruin. The next question that presents itself is, tho war being over, does gentle peace pervade the laud? I an? swer, emphatically, that it does not. The power that subjugated us is at thia time endeavoring to regulate labor by mili? tary authority. Can the labor of the coun trv bo regulated by despotism, and peace exist, when that despotism has no interest in tho velfaro of tho land and no regard for the laborer whom they pretend to as? sist i I think the affirmation of the fact argument snfRcient that war does exist war against every principle of common iustice-war against a fallen enomy, whose icroism they are compelled to admire - ? war against the negro, taxing him three per cent, upon his cotton, when he and his wife and children are now dying from starvation. Such horrible infamy cannot be found elsewhere on earth; I doubt such baseness can bo found in regions damned. Now, slr, I think it will bo admitted that thc stay law wa? necessary when our ar? mies were in hostile attitude; bow much more necessary is it now, when inglorioni war exists-when all the portable we al tl has been stolen by the enemy, and every thing that could not be removed bas beet committed to the flames-when there i; not breadstuffs in the country to snppor thc population -when every day, on th? Etantation, looks like a Sabbath, without i ?ble, without a church, and 'without i preacher? Sir, every man knows that free labo will not bc remunerative this year; tba starvation stares both man and beast di reetly in the face; that tho indebtedness o the people cannot be liquidated by force? sales; that there is not money enough it the State to purehase laud at any price i forced into market, and, therefore, North em capitalists must be the purchaser? and Southern planters must then be r* moved from this once productive land, bc come outcasts and beggars, and subst tuted in their places will bu tho indoler free negro and Yankee agent. Sir, I coi grat?late yon for your independent dec sion. I know your fraternal regard fe those of your own profvssion. To decid against their interests is, at any rate, d< tnmcntal to that quietude of mind whe about entering the held to harvest thc mat niticeut crop planted bv thc advocates i liberty, and moistened Ly the blood of p triots. I know, sir, voa would rather ha1? fill?-?l your coffers from the downfall Virtue than from a subjugated poopl whose Cille?*; you advocate-, aud who principles you admire. The people of tb State, in Convention assembled, direct? the monetary power of the people to su port their war by placing individual liabi ties in a quiescent attitude and that at: tudo is now disturbed when starvaii? stares every honest mau in the face, ai anarchy governs the lamb Sir. I agn congratulate you, that in your judicial p sition you were not influenced by nume: cal power, backed by some intellecto plausibility. I can, therefore, call ye emphatically, the honest lawyer, an app lat ion more precious to yon and your t Hccndanta than all the material wealth this poor, subjugated land. Sir, burri 1 is the picture of a poor, subjugated peop righting each other for the fragments; a the source from whence they derive tb apparent rights is the Constitution, whi outv lives to continue our subjugation. FAIRFIELD MF.SSKS. EniToiis: There is no dot that a large majority of our people -a n jority approaching unanimity-desire t adoption of some measure for the relief those in debt. If something is not dot there will, inevitably, result a wide-sprt ruin and suffering, such as no people ht ever been subjected to. It is absurd to ap; general maxims, just and right in ordini times, to such a universal and crush! convulsionas that which has passed o' our country. The people of the South all classes and interests were in favor secession. It is, therefore, only just a fair, that all should sutler in the disastrc consequences of failure, ami not that 1 debtor class should bc sacrificed, and i creditor class benetitted. If the collect ol'debts is enforced, the creditor will p chase twenty times as much property, his debtor bas it,) as he could have dc before the war. A mau worth $50,0 #20,000 of it real estate, and owing $2,(1 his Ian.ls will not pay his debt, but, a have said, our people are nearly una mons that something must be done, practicable. What can bo done? A JJ sent and effectual measure will bo for Legislature to enact that no Court, for trial ol'cast's arising out of contracts, si beheld for two years; make ah casci tort indictable, with power to award an restitution or indemnity. A more radical and better course wo be to call a convention; let that eonvent scale all debts contracted before the cl of the war-say one-half or three-foort These debts were based mainly ou ne property; that has been swept away, i tho value of the lands impaired, toget to at least three-fourths, rho property tho State was worth, at the begiunin( the war, ?.">00,(HH),IIO0. It is now WC $100,000.000. Has a convention powei do this? Tho convention has done 1 very thing as to all debts contracted dm the war. Why may not the same tiling done as to all debts? Let the distinct bu pointed ont. lt was as much impaii the obligation of contracts in thu one c as in tho other. The words used in Constitution aro "impairing thc obliga: of contracts," nd ''destroying or am isg." . The words used in our State Const tion are, "tho Legislature shall pass law impairing the obligation of contrac It is clear that there is nothing in our S Constitution to restrain a convention, might well have been considered Oil would not have been saf?i to trust sut power in tho hands of a State Legisla to be exercised as a matter of ordinary gislation, but that it did abide in the pie in th? ir original elementary diann The words of the Constitution of tho Un States arc. "No Stain shall pass auy impairing," Ac. Is the act ora conveu u law? lias it ever buen so called? terms used as to act.? of a convention "ordinance," "constitution." It is a tied principle, that in construing a coi i ti tion or law, words shall be linders in their ordinary acceptation, liss i. J o. "law" ??vet been applied to tho ac convention. The convention, -which is the people" assembled ip ogPOnciL, can do aorthiflB. It m? th* m&t import? ant Set ?Aich flri do-it chanced th? Government It ?mid have established^ a monarchy, or abrogated one *ad tai of -Our institution*., .? it did abrogate the most important of them. If lt could deprive one man of his negroes, why net deprive another of Ul? debt? doe him? The people in convention abolished slavery, and thereby impaired the ability of debtors to pay their liabili? ties. Hu a convention not, therefore, the power to red nee commensurately those lia hihticH? Mr. Lincoln's proclamation ut emancipation did not abolish slavery, and he so thought himself, and expressed the opinion that the proclamation would be, declared void and ineffectual. The Con? vention, therefore, impaired the ability of debtors to pay, and a convention has the right, and it is right, to reduce those lia? bilities. It has been decided that a public officer elected for life holds his office under a eon tract with the State, and therefore that contract cannot be violated or impaired by an ordinary act of tho legislature. But tho tenure 'may be changed by a conven? tion. If a convention can impair the obli? gation of the contract in this case, why not in other cases? But a convention of the people is not a State. If en thousand mon, assembled on a desert island, were I living in s state of nature, without s con-1 sti tnt ion, laws or government of any kind, | would they constitute a State? The people of a territory aro not called a Ht ate: but they are thc elements out of which a State tuny be formed. In conclusion, if these views are correct, such au ordinance would not bo the act of a State, and therefore not forbidden. It would uot bo s law, and therefore not for? bidden. The State Legislature may pr?? vido that thc court? may bo held every three months; why uot alsoenact that they be held every two or three years? Another reason for calling a convention is to reduce thc number and salaries of public officers. Wo are all reduced to ex? treme penury, even to actual want. Why should the salaries of public officers re? main as large as they ever were, and much larger than in other States, except two? These views are briefly thrown oat, hav? ing neither time nor room to elaborate them. SENEX. - m ? m ? CURIOSITIES OF THE ATUHTIO TELE? GRAPH.-The Courrier du Havre sets forth a striking result of the layir ' of the trans-Atlantic telegraph. It says: New York is situated nearly se? venty-six degrees of longitude West of Paris. The earth, in its daily ro? tation, travels through 360 degrees in twenty-four hours, from wHch it re salts that, every fifteen degrees to the West of the first meridian, placed at Paris, is one hour later. When it is noon at Paris, it is only ll o'clock at fifteen degrees to the West of that city. And, as New York is seventy six degrees to thc West of Paris, it follows that it is 7 o'clock in the even in g at New York when it is mid-night at Paris. Suppose, then, that a great edifice in Paris, the opera for ex-im? ple, takes fire at 12.15 at night, on the 1st of September next, the ev-rd is immediately telegraphed from Paris to New York, and is dated Paris, 12.15, night, 1st September. The news arrives at New York, let us say, in two hours, to make ample allow? ance for interruptions, etc. ; the de? spatch, dated Paris, 1st September, arrives at New York at 9.15 in tho evening of the 31st August; so that a New York .tanager could appear on the stage, and, after the three cus I to mary bows, conld thus express him i self: "Ladies and gentlemen: I am sorry to inform you that the opera at Pans has been destroyed by fire three hours after the present time. Our director has just transmitted to his i Paris confrere his condolence on the ! disaster which is going to happen to him." Moreover, it will no longer suffice to indicate a date, and say, "such a day, such au hour;" it will ! be necessary to add, "time at such a place." Thus, the clerks of the new telegraph office take care to add to the communications exchanged be ; tween the two continents, the express mention: "time at Paris, or Green? wich, or New York, or Washington." WHAT INDUSTRY CAN DO.-The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch has the fol? lowing: Two young farmers, in Albemarle, have accomplished, ou a farm of 333 acres, the following results: lu the first part of the year two freedmen were hired, but their laziness and un? willingness to perform their duties caused the young farmers to dis? charge them after a few weeks' trial, and since that time they have perform? ed all the farm labor themselves, except occasionally in harvest, the hire of day laborers for a few days. Tho boys rise by early dawn; one milks tho cows, tho other feeds and curries the horses, and attends to the hogs and cattle, and, after an early breakfast, perform earnestly and in? dustriously whatever work ?B neces? sary to be done; their fields have been well raked and plowed, and the result is good crops, realized and prospect? ive. They have reaped from fifteen to twenty acres of the most excellent wheat, are now engaged in reaping seventy acres of oats; have sixty acres of corn in first-rate order; have also ..? aped several acres of hay; have one acre in Irish potatoes; over one acre of garden vegetables; and have also a plenty of chickens, ducks and tur? keys, with all the luxuries and com? forts to be found ou ?*. -^ell cultivated farm. < e ? > J. W. Forney and prominent radi? cal leaders of Pennsylvania have pro? cured from the War Department a list of deserters from the army during the late war, from that State. It is said to be their intention to keep the matter quiet, and alio* such of the deserters as propose to vote the radi? cal ticket to pass unquestioned, bat those who offer to vote the conserva? tive ticket will be challenged and pre? vented from exercising tho elective franchise. tSfexas Wpm WV T ifintu OmcL-Let? ter* of Administration.

The Augusta Constitutionalist pub lishes and calla attention to a commu? nication from a traveler, from which we extract: "Having recen ti/ passed over the upper or central route from New York to Augusto^ I will submit a r?? mark or two for thc benefit of the public "My route North ?as via Colom? bia, Charlotte, Greensboro, Danville and Richmond. I arrived in Rich? mond before 5 o'clock the next even? ing after leaving Augusta, and more than two hours before the passengers who left me at Kingsville ria Wil? mington reached Richmond. "This difference in time is owing to the fact that the Danville route is shorter in distance, and all the trans? fers dose and immediate on that line, while the boating over the Cape Fear River, at Wilmington, both ways, hi the night, and the dray age through the city of Petersburg, canse a loss of about two hoars' time or more. "Passengers who separated from me at Greensboro, N. C., and went, ria Raleigh and Weldon, to Ports? mouth, taking the road, joined meat Baltimore. "At Greensboro, the passenger has choice of three route, ria Danville, or Weldon and Petersburg, or Ports? mouth, by boat to Baltimore." BROWNLOW.-The Nashville Union and American, of Sunday, says: "We learn that Gov. Brownlow leaves for Philadelphia to-morrow morning. He will, no doubt, be able to present a complete plan for rob? bing the people of their liberties; and if they do not submit, to inaugurate another war. His recent address to his followers indicates a settled pur I pose to bring on, if possible, an : armed and bloody conflict. The hal ; lib?rent disnnionists at Philadelphia will fix upon a plan, we have no doubt, which will be designed to pro? duce renewed bloodshed in the South .?rn States, and thus progress from stage to stage, until tho whole coun? try is agaiu wrapped in the flames of civil strife. That such is thc inten? tion of the radical leaders, passing events do not permit us to doubt. It is a gloomy and horrid pers <ective, and the only antidote to its fatal suc? cess is the firmness and patriotism of the people, which, we devoutly trust, will be itli-sufrieient.
