GRANT OPPOSED TO FILLING THE CHASM.
Boutwell blurted ont the Administration
policy in his foolish North Carolina
speech. The bloody chasm made by
alienation of the sections is not to be
closed by reconciliation. It is not the
interest, of the war party that it .should
be. Thoy want, to fill it with Southern
white martyrs. They want to keep it I
open as the best way to prolong their !
power. As 'a remarkable coincidence,
we noto that while Boutwell, of Massa?
chusetts, was oppoaiug the filling up the
"ohasm," Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
one of the ablest and most decorous of
the supporters of Grant, was asserting in
Connecticut that the safety of the repub?
lic demads the continued oppression of lite
South. So we have cleanly before us the
main features of Grant's policy.
RADICAL ADVANTAGE IN THE NORTH !
CAROLINA ELECTION.-There is one thing
oonnected with the election in North
Carolina, on the 1st of August, that must |
be borne in mind. Under the present
infamous State Constitution, made by
the bayonets, the Governor has the ap?
pointment of the boards of registers and
the judges of elections throughout the
State. This opens the door to any
amount of frauds in tho election. The
present Governor, whose name is Cald?
well, succeeded to the office after the
impeachment of Holden by the Legisla?
ture. He is a Grant man, and will pack
the election boards with his creatures in
his own interest. In order to succeed,
the Democrats and Liberal, Republicans!
must do it over hostile and corrupt
boards.

INDIANAPOLIS, Joly 21.-Tho Academy
of Music waa paoked, Iasf*evouing, to
hear the Hon. T. A. Hendrioka' opening
speech of tho campaign. Mr. Hendricks
spoke as follows:
MY FELLOW-CITIZENB: TO yon of the
Domoorutio party I have something first
to say. This meeting is an approval and
ratification of the action of your Nation?
al Convection, at Baltimore, in the
adoption of the Cincinnati ticket and
platform. I need not speak at any
length of the influences nod considera?
tions wbioh brought about that result.
A large body of the Republican party,
in some of the States, and finally at the
National Mass Convention at Cincinnati,
resolved that they could no longer sup?
port that party, under its present ma?
nagement, and proposed co-operation
with all those who seek to restore purity
to the public service everywhere and pa?
triotism to the national councils, iu tbe
place of a blind and exacting devotion
to party. Through the councils of oar
party, State and national, we have ac?
cepted and agreed to that proposition,
and now we stand, side by side, upon
terms of entire politio.tl equality with
mon whom we have heretofore opposed.
We stand by them and with them for G
common object, which we know to bc
high and honorable, aud worthy of om
best eudeavors. To all Liberal Ropubli
cans und Democrats I say we stand to
gether in the endeavor to relieve out
country from the influence and contro
of cliques, combinations and rings
formed to promote ambition and gain
We stund together to free our legislutioi
from thu pernicious influences uf eau
cuses und secret conclaves, where part]
advantages and nuances ure considered
rather than the public good. And ii
this contest we will etaud together a
true und honorable meu, oar watch won
and battle-cry being "just laws and pub
lio virtue." I believe we will aobiev<
victory, and, iu November, the shout o
a glad people will be: "The Ooustitutloi
and laws are restored." Some may no
go with OH, whose departure we will re
gret; but, since tbe decision at Cincin
nati and Baltimore, there are but twi
sides to the contest. Of necessity w
must be of tbe movement for reform o
aid to continue Gun. Grant and bis eur
roondings iu power. If some leave us
we can only bow oar heads in regret,
know they will not rejoice in thu leudei
ship they follow.
The candidates proposed for our sin
port are not unknown to the countrj
From a humble position, Mr. Greele
bas placed himself in the front rank, :
not ut tbe bead, of one of tho great prc
feauions. His incorruptible iutegrity i
conceded by his bitterest opponent!
and that is tbe best possible guaraott
for an honest administration, and it i
also a guarantee that he will, if electee
faithfully redeom tbe pledges made b
his aotbority to the people. His pri
dent and economical views of public ac
ministration give assurance of a safe an
thrifty management of the Eieouth
office. But we are asked, can Democra
vote for him after be has io abased the;
for thirty years? Why, they ha\
abused him quite as maoh. I belier
that, account has been bulanoed, nod vt
favor general amnesty. I am personal
acquainted with Gov. Brown, of Mi
aouri, the nominee for Vioe-Presiden
f served with him in the Senate. I
bas fine talents, good acquirements, at
is very earnest in the support of what 1
believed right and expedient. I belie'
bis administration in Missouri has bet
without reproach, and that harmony ai
fraternity now prevail in the Stat
whereas all was discord aud strife whi
he came into office. He and Senat
Sohurz, and their political associate
have forever buried the evil passio
wbioh ambitious men had kept alive
perpetuate their power. What they c
aumplished iu Missouri, good men desi
to see in all the States.
Mr. Hendricks then rehearsed t
points set forth in the Cincinnati ph
form, and said they correctly and fu
expressed the nen timon ts and wishes
the people; and that upon this deda!
tion of principles and policy all coi
meet und harmooize without bumiliati
or dishonor. He considered it folly
longer resist a recognition of the cont
tutional amendments. The legislat
and executive departments bave <
dared their adoption, and according
the spirit of Chief Justice Taney's de
sion in tho Rhode Island case, the ju
oiary cannot review the decision of t
political departments opon a politi
question. But in recognizing this
suit, he did not propose to approve
excuso the proceedings whereby it \
attempted to declare the amendme
ratified by the Indiana Legislature wi
ont the presence of a constitutional g
rantoe. That could not be allowed
become a precedent to be followed
the future. He asked tbat the rest
ti o ns imposed opon legislative action
tbe State Constitution should be y
Horved. Mr. Greeley bad agreed "t
HU fe, fair and honorable adjustment
the tariff question. It is tho peop
business, and tho President should
attempt to control it by the veto po
or the uso of his patronage. The Sta
without supervision, are to regulate tl
iuternal policy, and through their Ia
courts and officers, are to make safe
Beoore all rights cf person, roputati
property and estate. Tho writ of hu\
corpus is jealously to be upheld, and
citizen is to enjoy the largest Ubi
consistent with public order. AU n
rejoioe that these ancient principle!
government and sentiments of our ?
pie are once' more to inspire our I
and animate the public polioy.
Senator Morton would find that
people understood what civil servie*
form meant. The assertion that Gen
Grant bad done more than all the Pi
dents in the direction of improvem
in the civil service was bard upoc
predecessors. Everybody know that
sivil service was never BO demorali
out it could not be otherwise whe
the heads of the Government abac
their posts, and seek pleasure in fashion
and dissipation. Measures of reform in
Congress were called attacks upon the
Administration, and opposed as such.
A change was necessary to secure re?
form. Mr. Hendricks spoke of the at?
tempts to defend and justify the nepo?
tism of the President, and referred to
the elder Adams, who offended in two
instances, when public opinion compelled
him to refuse all applications. Perhaps
it was just to General Grant to suppose 1
he was not informed of the praotice of
his predecessors and of public sentiment.
If disapproved now, the practice would
not become a corrupting precedent.
He reviewed the praotice of taking
large presents as one tending to blind
the eye, pervert the judgment, and hurt
the public sorvico. General Grant said,
"Lot us have peace," and he was elected
upon the faith that the assurance would
be made good. The people longed for
conciliation and fraternity, but he has
not allowed it. The evil passions of
people had been so aroused that partisan
supremacy might be maintained. The
worst governments in the world have
been maintained in many of the South?
ern States. Gigantic frauds have been
permitted there, crushing people and
prostrating business by heavy taxes.
We want good governments and pros-j
perity in all the States uud harmony
between all factions. This is our natural
relation, and dist urti un ce is a crime.
He hud no faith in tchemes aud pions
for u resumption of specie payments. It
would bo brought about in accordance
with tho laws of trade aud commerce, by
oar increased production of the grout
staples which commaud tho foreign mar?
ket, so that wo shall sell more than we
buy abroad, aud the tendency of gold bo
toward our shores. Then resumption
would be easy and natural. Tho policy
of this Administration is hostile to an
early resumption of speoio payments and
hurtful to our important future inte?
rests. Our debt being made a foreign
one, every six mouths the gold leaves the
country to pay the interest. Great ef?
forts should have been made to nego?
tiate the new loan at home, so that tho
interc.it would remain in the country
und pass iuto the channels of commerce.
Gov. Morton has claimed that the He
publican party bad reduced taxation, re?
pealed all internal taxes, (except on
whiskey and tobacco,) aud was paying
tho national debt at the rate of 8100,
OOO.OOU yearly; that thia was due to the
introduction of economy aud retrench?
ment into every department of the Go?
vernment, and by an houest and faithful
collection of the reveuue. This state?
ment the speaker claimed was within
about S83.000.000 of being oorreot. In
respect to the reduction of taxes, two
years ugo, the impression sought to be
made was that Geu. Grant, by economy,
was able to pay the debt, although tho
taxes were so reduced. Ho compared
the financial statements of the Govern?
ment with those of Mr. Johnson, and
showed that there hud been no increase
of tax collections. Enormous sums
had been received from other sources,
aud a much larger reduction of the debt
might have been made, had economy
prevailed in the publio service.
Hb styled tue Philadelphia platform
au appeal to the credulity of the people,
and a criticism and satire upon Grant's
administration. It declares that it is
demoralizing to regard subordinate posi?
tions as reward for mere party zeal, und,
adopting tho statement of the Cincin?
nati Convention on reform, declares that
honesty, efficiency and fidelity are essen?
tial qualifications for office. It declares
hostility to further grants of publio lands
to corporations, after giving away tho
most desirublo parts thereof. Gen. (Irant
should have been spared this blow, in
view of the fact that on the day ho signed
the bill giving 37,000.000 of acres to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, he
illustrated his economy and zeal for tho
publio interest by vetoing Judge Hol?
man's bill for paying a private in tho 3d
Iudianu Regiment of Cavalry for one or
two horses ho had lost in the war. Mr.
Hendricks closed with a review of his
past record, answering tho charges of
Senator Morton, in reference to his
course in the United States Senate, and
pledging himself, if elected, to labor for
all useful reforms in the State, and to
labor for tho general welfare.
The particulars of a very fuuny affair,
which occurred not n thousand miles
from Aiken, at a barbecue, the other
day, have just come to hand. During
the day, a pic nic pauly assembled there,
and were enjoying themselves with the
good things provided, when a young
man and lady of the party thought they
would take a stroll all by themselves to
an adjoining lot. They did so, but were
suddenly aroused from their musings by
old Taurus, who chanced to be in angry
mood, and not in condition to entertain
the loving pair. He accordingly went
for them, and they went for a tree; ar?
riving at that, the frightened couple
met an obstacle little looked for. Who
should go np the tree first, was the ques?
tion. The young lady would not, and!
the yoong gallant could see noway to
mend the matter than for both to olimb
at once, and so they did-one up either
side of the tree until they were out of
harm's way. This strategic move so
pleased the bull, that it is said he aban?
doned the charge, laid down ou the grass
and nearly exploded with laughter.

SOUTHERN CROSS BROTHERHOOD -This
is the oame of a new society wbioh bas
been originated at Biohmond, Ya., by
tbe organization of "Lee Camp, No. 1.
The society is composed alone of those
who were Confederate soldiers, and who
maintained unblemished reputations
throughout. Its objeot is to perpetrate
the memory and heroism of those who
fell in battle, to aid the families of tbe
dead, and "to try to preserve the truth
and purity of history."
This society is now engaged in gather?
ing the remains of Confederate soldiers
from tbe battle-field of Gettysburg, and
from other battle fields, where they are
being desecrated and scattered about as
if they wore no more than tbe bones of
dumb aoimals. The society proposes o
collect these remains and decently inter
them in Hollywood Cemetery, near
Richmond, when their graves will be
oared for and receive, each spring, the
tribute of fijwers which is the emblem
of the consecration of man's devotion tc
those who died io battle.
There are, it is estimated, about 1.00C
of those dead still remaining npon the
field of Gettysborg. Moans are needed
to effect their removal, and "Lee Camp,
No. 1, Southern Cross Brotherhood,'
asks aid of the Sooth in furtherance o!
tbe patriotic purpose Large or smal
contributions will be gratefully received

mentioned. Communications npon th?

Tnc NEGRO VOTE.-At the beginninc
of the campaign the negro vote was gen
erally conceded to Grant. All who knov
the powerful influence exerted by th
secret oath-bound leagues in the Soutl
over tho minds of the freedmen, uni
that these leagues are manipulated b;
tbe rascally white scalawags and carpet
bagger office-holders in the interest o
the present corrupt administration, wer
willing to admit that Greeley wouh
have no cbanoe to divide the bleak vot
with Grant. But there are two indien
lions which have just appeared that tb
first calculations wore incorreot. Th
first is based on the heavy receipt of lei
tera by the Liberal Republican Commit
lee, written by negroes, deolariog thei
preference for Mr. Greeley. It is sai
that nearly twenty per cent, of the peal
of ratification letters sent to thu commi
teo are from negroes expressing thet
sentiments. When it is remembere
bow few of the adult negroes can writi
this feature of tbe canvass would seei
to show that Mr. Greeley's candidate
bas made a solid impression among thi
class. Tbe other indication is the att
tude of Mr. Sumner. Although he hi
not yet entered tbe arena openly fe
Greeley, it is known that be is dispose
to do so shortly, and that he will n<
permit bis inaction to us dst the re-ele
lion of Grant in the slightest degree,
bo takes tbe stump for Greeley, ai
goes through the Sooth addressing tl
negroes, be can destroy the influence ?
the leagues and swing over enough i
his black admirers to make even Soul
Carolina sure for reform.

Johnson bad done anything half as <
liant nod reckless as this, he would ht
been removed from office in the moi
of April, 1868. If Mr. Boutwell 1
