ALWAYS SHIRKING RESFONSIBILIY. Whenever Democratic administra? tions have been in power, thoy have courted the freest scrutiny of their acts. If oharges of misconduct or malfeasance were made against a public officer, he at once iuvited an investigation of his conduct, and such investigation was never refused; on thc contrary, every facility was granted to the party accusing, and investigating committees were inva? riably mado up of members politi? cally opposed to tho accused party. How is it now, under the rule of radicalism? No inquiries aro per? mitted; no investigations are grant? ed.-.' No matter how heinous tho charge, all inquiry into it is sup? pressed, or if any aro granted, tho committoos have been made up of tho partizans of the officer accused, organized to acqoit. The very fact that inquiries into tho misconduct of officers aro sup? pressed, may be takeu as proof of the guilt alleged, else why is inquiry refused? Are not ull the people in? terested in an honest administration of public affairs? Do tho masses of tho Republican party desire to cover up fraud and iniquity? Yet that party in Congress is guilty of sup? pressing investigations into the mis? conduct of public officers every day. What is tho remedy iu such a state of things? What other than to ex? pel from offico and power the party that countenances and covers up the corrupt act? which uro daily being committed by its partizans. We know that many honest Republicans have become disgusted with the cor? ruptions of their leaders, and will give their votes in the coming elec I tion to remove them from the places " which they now disgrace.

C., on tho 4th inst., a letter from Mr. J. B. Camp? bell, of Charleston, was read, a long extract from which (embodying his views of the present condition and future prospects of the Atncricau negro) wo published yesterday. These views ure in tho main full of sober? ness and truth. The direct address which Mr. Campbell makes to the negroes themselves is rn? less kindly than plain aud forcible. Ho tells them: "You may live hero if you will, peaceable, happy and prosper? ous, under tho protection of our laws, just as wo are protected, with no distinction or inequality, but yon cannot govern us." Ho says, allud? ing to a qualified suffrage, "that will bo for tho educated and the property-? holders among yon. They are so few that it will give you no power, not oven the shadow of it." He adds: "If every white inhabitant of South Carolina-if every white man, wo? man or child in the Southern States should consent aud agreo to it, you would not be permitted by the. peo? ple of the North and West to estab? lish a Liberian, or a Dominican, or a Haytien Government in tho United States." And he concludes his re? markably interesting letter thus: "You have tho opportunity offered to chooso between perpetual peace, prosperity and advancement in all the many blessings called civiliza? tion-between that and hostility to ns, degradation and final extermina? tion. We oner you the former; tho carpet-bagger tempts you to the lat? ter. As your friend, I pray God to give you wisdom in your choice. " There is no doubt that letter of Mr. Campbell faithfully expresses tho views and tho friendly spirit of all good aud intelligent members of the I late slave-owning class at the South. [New York Herald. How TO ?. ?ET RID OP CARPET-BAO SENATORS.-In all the troubles which tho so-called reconstruction measures have brought upon the Southern States, ono of tho most atrocious features is imposing unprincipled adventurers upon them as their rep? resentatives in the. national councils. So long as these fellows were only empowered with sufiicient authority to speak for themselves and their own low associates, their speeches could be taken at such discount as would somewhat approximate their real importance. But now that they are endorsed by the National Legis? lature, as the representatives of all the Southern people, their speeches in Congress will go to the world as those of members from such aud such Southern State.", and be accept? ed by the world and by posterity as genuine. The cruel atrocity of thus making tho victims in some senso responsible for the after conduct of their ravishers is unequalled by any? thing in history, and is only equalled by the like atrocity of continuing tho power in the hands of tbeso meu to aid, by their votes, in imposing still greater burdons upon us. [Richmond Enquirer and Examiner. Justus K. J ill son, the "State Su? perintendent of Education," in a speech delivered recently to a blaok audience in the African Church, Cam? den, said "that if the Democrats succeeded in electing their President, there would bo the bloodiest.war on record." The Terrible Cnuiitcr-Ucvolittlou. .'. Speaking of the Kentucky and other recent elections, the New York Herald, of the 8th, tells nome whole? some truths. It says: So far from the nomination of the radical Con? vention strengthening the back-bone of that faction, or the nomination of I Seymour and Blair weakening the i \ spinal column of tho Democracy in that ?State, they have turned events I the other way. These results are ! but tho early indications-tho skir? mish tire, as it were-of the great i revolutionary battle which is about to open. If the other State elections which aro to come off between this and the Presidential contest in No? vember should happen to give like1 indications of popular hostility to the radical usurpations aud corrup? tions, who can tell but that the nomi? nees of the Chicago Convention may be overwhelmed by the weight of radical mul-administration since the rebellion was wound up by Geueral Graut that they have to carry on their shoulders? If we look at the facts which confront the people when they come to vote, we find that taxes to the amount of three thou? sand millions of dollars have been imposed ut on us. Wo lind that tho national debt has been increased to the tune of three thousand millions more. Aud this, when the country is at peace and tho people had a right to hope for a reduction of taxes aud the national obligations as tho fruit of victory won, God knows with what terrible sacrifices to every home and hearth in the country. But instead of tho load beiug lightened, we are called on to bear further exactions, to submit to increased expenditures. In order to keep a portion of the country in subjection, more troops aro called for. Men foisted into Congress from the Southern States, aud Governors who really represent little more than a mock constituency, demand from the Government nu expensive army to assist them in car? rying out schemes and ambitions which are purely partisau and aro positively destructive of the peace aud good of the country. It is facts Uko these which meet intelligent men of all parties when they come to cast their votes, and wo eau not be sur? prised that majorities are found to protest emphatically against a o?"n tiunance of this kind of government. The people demnud a change; and it is the people, and not any particu? lar party, who will make the issue at the approaching election. Names aud individual candidates couut for very little in this contest. It is a cheup Government, honestly admin? istered, in view of the fact that the country is at peuce, which the people require. A serious counter-revolu? tion, therefore, terrible to tho politi? cians, no doubt, but good and whole? some for tho people-because it is being born of the people-is at hand. Nothing but the marvelous activity of our population, and the untold resources of the country, coidd euablo us to hear the present burden of taxatiou, or induce us to submit to carry it so long. But it is evident that a re-action has set in, and it muy bo that, in the courso of events, as now foreshadowed, the next elec? tions will result in sending a majority to Congress, possibly, in favor of repudiation, but certainly in favor of a vast reduction of the present enor? mous taxatiou. The public mind leaus that way. Let us have peace-real peace-is the popular cry, and the popular heart naturally yearns for the posses? sion of that prosperity which should accompany peace. Tho result of the Presidential election may be so vaguely decided in the conflict be? tween the rights of tho Northern and Southern States, in tho matter of frauchiso ns regulated by radical legislation, as to drift us into another civil war; but it is clearly tho duty of tho Northern States to set tho seal emphatically upon tho issue by their votes and leave nothing to chance or no opeiii?g for conflict. The ex? pression of anti-radical sentiment, in the lato elections in Kentucky aud Oregon, is but tho precursor of a great counter-revolution, upon the I verge of which the country stands. Goon JOKE ox SNYDER.-Two or three freedmen caught a dark-colored butler on their premises, near Marion, not long since, stealing melons, and, having arrested him, carried him before Lewis Tarrant, another freedman, for trial. Lewis asked if tho butler had "any means," I but, being answered in the negative, gravely informed the prosecutors that, ns imprisonment would amount to nothing beyond an expenso to the State, it would bo better to give tho lover of molons thirty-nine lashes and turn him loose. "But," said he, "don't strike him on the clothes, for that would givo him a right to suo you for damages-put it to him on his bare back 1" And "put it to him on his bare back" they did, dressing his hide with thirty-nine stinging lashes, and turning him loose to meditate on the ill success of his first endeavor to put into prac? tical operation the teachings of radi? calism. A Connecticut editor procured the Eublioation of a report that he had een run over by a horse-car, in New I York, and killed, his object being to find the whereabouts of his wife, who had deserted him. A TBKWBI? SCENE AT THE FLOOD IN ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND.-A Baltimore lady, who was on a visit to ElIiooH City, at the timo of the great flood, hus given an interesting account of the fearful calamity. The agonising spectacle attending the drowning of several entire families she describes as follows: Dr. Owings, who had been sent for professionally, had left his house but a few minutes before the flood appeared, agaiust the remonstrances of his wife, who was alarmed at the threatening aspect of the sky. It was only after receiving three message that he was induced to leave her. Hs had barely reuched tho bridge, on bis return, when he saw tho flood coming down, and ho took refuge in tho house of Mr. Gibbons, not IOC feet from his own dwelliug, aud call ed to his wife, advising her bow sin should act for the safety of hcrsel: and six children byherside. Speed ily tho water drove ber and the chil dren to the roof, there, clinging t< the chimney, they seemed sotnewha secure; but tho rockiug of tho hons? -a three-story frame-soon causee the chimney to fall. Meanwhile, Mrs. Marshauo, beinj in tho hon.si' above, reached up fe Mrs. Owings a baby but three week ol 1, supposing it would be safe there than in her maternal anni Mrs. Owings was seen to hold it a long ns she lived. .Dr. Owings col ing across the race, as bis boos floated from its foundation um lodged agaiust the next below, d rected that tho walls of the adjoiniu houses should be cut through. Th was. dono by Mr. Fountain, and thin as ono bouse after another fell, worl ing most heroically, this noble ma cut through the walls of seve bouses, until they came to tho last i tho row. In this house all the occi pants of the six bouses above assen bled. Suddenly, it was seen 1 waver, and in a moment more, wil all its burden of children, wom( and men, it fell with a terrific eras! and not ono soul was saved. Win Dr. Owings beheld this fearful seen his rcasou seemed to leave bira, ar be endeavored to throw himself in the fearful current, and it took number of strong men to prove bim from destroying himself. I was carried to a hotel by sy m path i ing friends, in an almost inseusit condition. A SAD STORY.-Those who ha been around tho central station If at night have doubtless observed old man, dignified iu appearan< and evidently superior to such si roundings, who for nonie time pi bas been seeking lodgings there, bas a strauge history-has had experience in life that possesses the singularity of romaneo. Befe the war, ho was a planter in Tex and possessed of immense weal His deposits in tho Union Bank this city at ono timo reached S8(),( in gold. His lauded estate st retel over leagues of territory, and mi resembled a German principal than tho possessions of an Americ planter. His homestead was the s of ease and opulence, and a faa of children added interest to home, and gave an incentive to accumulation of wealth. Ou breakiug out of tho war, be went Europe; but before leaving, he m bis will, and executed papers wu placed his property in tho hand.' Iiis son and son-in-law, This done that in caso of his death th should be no troublo about tho tribution of bis estate. At the of the war, he came back. But absence had given to his childre control of wealth they did not rc to surrender. They refused to cognize him, or permit him to 1 oven a pittance with which to ? port life. A difficulty occurred tween himself and son, in which latter was shot in the arm and < geronsly wounded. So oxasper was the outraged parent, thai even expressed bis regret that lifo of his offspring had not beei crificed. He finally carno to city, and instituted legal proceed for tho recovery of somo prop which he has in this State. Pen the slow developments of tho Coi without money and without frie this old man, nearly eighty yeal age, is compelled to seek shelt the police station, while a dang of bis, residing in a princely i sion, not a dozen squares away joys every luxury that imni wealth and unbounded resource! secure.

Stevens, the groat -millionai Hoboken, died in'Paris at noe Friday. He had been afflicted rheumatism for two years When the news reached Hobok cable on Saturday, the flags a ferry and all through tho city displayed at half-mast. HEAVY BAIN.-In the memory of tlio oldest inhabitant, the rain that fell Th ur? day night last was the hea? viest. The very, flood-gates seemed to have been open; and the "creeks ran to rivers, the rivors into seas." It waa hard to tell where creeks com? menced, or where tho highland. Ou the one hand, ditches wern tilled up with earth deposits und debris; and, on the other, ravines were made. All the foot bridges in this neighbor? hood were washed from their fasten? ings. Bottom com, wherever this flood roached, must have snnored considerably. From what we learn, however, tho raiu was not of great extent.-Neicberry Herald. We have been shown by Mr. J. W. Coyncr, a native of this County, and still a minor, tho drawing of au im? proved breech-loading caunon, in? vented by him, and for which letters patent have been granted bim? The United States Chief of Ordnance is said to bo highly pleased with this improved breech-loading gun, as it is supposed this invention will obviate tho great objections to breech-load? ing cannon. Mr. Coyner has been offered tho privilege of constructing his improved gun in the Government works at Washington, which he pro? poses to do as soon as circumstances will permit-Stanton Vindicator. Next year, if all goes well, there will be a second Atlantic cable, run? ning, without a break anywhere, from Brest, tho extreme North-west point of France, directly to tho city of New York. This will considera? bly cheapen messages. The French Government has contracted for the completion of the Brest and New York line bv tho beginning of Sep? tember, 18(59. Sheridan made his appearance one day in a pair of new boots, which at? tracted the notice of some of his friends. "Nowguess," said he, "how I came by these now boots?" Many j probable guesses then took place. "No," said Sheridan, "no, you've not hit, nor over will; I bought them and paid for them." Tho colored coroner of Wilming? ton, N.C., held au inquest on the body of Dnuiel Alford, a white man employed on tho Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, who died very suddenly on Wednesday last. The jury found a verdict of "death from na? tural causes and for want of proper medical attention aud treatment." A boy seventeen years of age shot and killed a burglar named Sweeney, in Philadelphia, ou Thursday night.

Ex-Confederate Admiral Franklin Buchanan, of Talbot County; Md., who commanded tho Coufederato ram Merrimac in tho engagement with the Monitor, has been elected President of the Maryland Agricul? tural College, by tho trustees of that institution. Julian Philips, a colored black? smith, who was appointed justice of the peace by Holden, does not value the honor very highly, and says ho kuows moro of his trade than of law, and can make a living without tho aid of an oflice, which he has not the ability to fill. L. D. Sinclair has been driving a stage between Dover and Conway, N. H., forty-two years, having be guu at the age of sixteen. Ho claims to have traveled 845,490 miles, or thirty-four times round the world. He still follows tho business. Napoleon and his family and guests lately had a spelling match.
