Grant'? Corrupt TJsa of Patronage
That San Do mi o go annexation scheme,
for the furtherance of which Gen. Grant
sacrificed the dignity of hiB Presidential
office to become a mere lobbyist to Con?
gress, is fruitful of woes to the great re?
nominated. In bis speech at St. Loni?,
on the 22d iust., Gen. Soburz expressly
charges that he was approached by two
different individuals in intimate relations
with Gen. Grant, who assured bim, as
upon authority of the President, that if
he would favor San Domingo annexation
ia the Senate, or would agree, at any
rate, not to oppose it, he should bavo
complete control over the distribution of
official patronage in his State. Senator
Soburz stated that if the charge was au?
thoritatively denied, he had the requisite
documentary evidence in the shape of a
letter from the gentleman who made the
proposition, which he would produce
Gen. Grant is reported as baying posi?
tively denied the allegation, and now the
proof is in order. Gen. Pleasanton is
understood to be the gentleman to whom
Schurz refers, as having made the pro?
position in regard to San Domingo. He
?tated to Soburz at the time he first
made the offer of unlimited patronage,
that he had fall authority from President
Grant. To clinch matters, however,
Schurz subsequently wrote to Pleasan?
ton, asking him direotly if he spoke with
authority from the President in the pro?
position he had made. To this Plea?
santon replied in the affirmative by let?
ter, and it is this letter which Schurz
relies upon to substantiate his charge.
Soburz thought seriously of disolosiog
the whole matter last spring, in the Se?
nate, when Oonkliog, in his defeooe ol
the Administration, alleged that the dis?
affection of the Liberal Bepublioan Se?
nators was attributable to their disap?
pointment in seeming from the Presi?
dent that command of patronage wbiob
they expected. Bat he was dissuad?e]
by his. friends at that time, upon th?
grouad that Oonkliog's oharge was by nc
means personal to him, but was aimee
rather at Trumbull. Gen. Grant has
however, since the opening of the po
litioal campaign, in an interview whiol
was bad with him by a reporter of thi
Herald, charged directly upon Sohar:
that his opposition was prompted by hi
(Grant's) j fasal to satisfy the greed o
Sohurz in .o matter of the official ap
pointmen. in the State of Missonri
The Administration orgaoa, too, eithe
Irom a want of ability to comprehend o
sn intention"! parp?se to ignore, th
real causes of ths Liberal movement
have sought to found it upon persone
and soVash grounds. With them, ever,
Liberal Hepnblican, no matter what ma
have been his previous high oharaote
and position and influence in the Rep ul
lioan party, ia now, beuauso, and onl
because, be does not approve of th
conduct of the Government under Get
Grant's administration, and opposes
continuance of the same, a sore-tioa
and greedy office-seeker. But it is th
President's false insinuation, especially
whioh has decided the great Misaom
Senator, in justification of himself, t
disolose the disgraceful and corrai
proffer which was made to him to pui
eba?o his support of the San Doming
annexation project, and whioh he indij
nantly refused at the time. Sine
Schurz's disclosure, it has leaked ot
that the same shameful proposition wi
made by Grant's go-betweens to e:
Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, and 8
nator Tipton, and it is reported thi
.av?rai other Senators of nnimpeaohab
voracity were approached ou the san
0 lbjeot.
Gen. Grant denies having authorize
any one to make any snob offer, and sai
that the Senator was "imposed upon
It is a question, then, of veracity b
tween Grant and Pleasonton at presen
Fleaaonton claims that he has the advai
tage of Grant, of never before bavin
bis veraoity questioned. He has anothi
great advadtage. He is a disinterest?:
witness. Grant is the accused party. :
is a matter of life and death, tiraos
with binti His denial is no evident
whatever.' Ho would deny tho oharg
of course; for, if he acknowledges i
truth, ho not only damns bis Preside:
tia! aspirations, but he Axes a ?Ugo
opon his name whioh will cling to
through all time. Far bj0?m>t hi
and for his poatMity bttdhe never quitte
bis obscure 'life at Galena, than to 1
now oonvioted of corruptly tamperh
with the integrity of the Senators of b
onntry.

Senator Soharz, in the ooaree ot his
great speech at Charlotte, North Caro?
lina, on Monday, said that he had been
oenflrraed in his Liberal faith by hit)
visit to the Sonlh. But he hm not seen
the worst resalta of Grant's Southern
polioy yet North Carolina, ?here
Grautiam has had only partial sway, is
a Paradise compared to this State, where
Grantism has had fall and unimpeded
sway. Here oan bo seen in the bank
raptoy of the State and the total cor?
ruption and demoralization of the Go?
vernment, the legitimate and perfeot
fruits of a reconstruction founded npon
sectional hate, and designed solely for
party aggrandizement. There ncodb
only a visit to the South to convince any
right-minded oitizen of the North, even
though he be less intelligent and im?
partial than Carl Schurz, that Grantism
has well nigh ruined what was onoo the
fairest section of the Union.
POLITICAL JOTTINGS.-Ten ont of
twenty-two surviving Grant Presidential
electors in New York four years ago, now
Rapport Greeley and Brown.
Galusha ?. Grow, Bepublioan ex
Speaker of the Honse of Represen tat i ves,
goes for Greeley.
Boutwell's "Greensboro speech is pro?
nounced by the Lynchburg Republican
"infamous."
The Harpers' Journal of Civilization,
of July 27, contains a cartoon represent?
ing the Reformers tugging at a rope to
overthrow the "Republican column,"
after the manner of the Communists
with the more famons structure in the
Place Vendome, The New York Tribune
says: "Without admitting that the pic
tare is honest in conception or truthful
in detail, it is impossible to refrain from
suggesting to the artist that his refer?
ences should lie more felicitous. That
column came down."
! Spotted Tail, Col. Mosby and the Lon?
don Times have declared for Grant. Two
of these have no vote.
PERSONAL.-Among tho passengers per
Oce?nica, on Saturday last, from New
York for Liverpool, we find the name of
Capt. W. A. Courtenay, of Charleston,
the well-known steamship agent of
Clyde's iron lines to Philadelphia and
New York. Capt. Courtenay belongs to
that favored class of people who carry
with them through life enough energy to
lift themselves out of any wreok which
even war can throw them into. In 1865,
on his return from the army, the best he
could find to do was to drive a wagon
between Newberry and Columbia for
passengers; and he thereupon drove a
male wagon, as everybody in Columbia
will remember. That humble beginning
grew rapidly into a freight business,
which it required great traiuB of wagons
daily to accommodate. When the rail?
roads were restored, and wagons had be?
come asoless, he went to Charleston, and
for onoe Charleston reoognized'the worth
of one of her own sons, and helped him
to organize the present Baltimore steam?
ship line, even while two other lines
were on this route. It proved a success,
and has had the whole Baltimore busi?
ness ever sinoe. Subsequently Capt.
Courtenay has been oonneoted with
Clyde's monster steam line to New York,
whoso 2,500 bale cargoes have done won?
ders for the port of Charleston, and ho
bas built up the steam service between
Philadelphia and Charleston from an in?
significant trude into a large and pros?
perous business, in which two 800 tons
steamers are now engaged. Capt. Cour?
tenay goes to Europe for a short reopite
from the toils of an extended business,
and we wish him a pleasant tour and
safe return home, braoed up for many
years more of work-and we hope under
fairer political skies.
Cotton News.
HOPB STATION, July 30, 1872.
J. A. SELBY, ESQ.: The oondition of
the cotton orop is such, in the main, as
to mislead the casual observer. The
weed is prominent, the growth has been
rapid-only too rapid, since the season
commenced. It is not well limbed and
shaped, aooording to the height and
luxuriant appearance. Some, in certain
localities, appears to be firing and drop?
ping the shapes. Where the stand was
early, and highly aided by fertilizers, it
it is pretty fair; but is about done in all
the fruit-bearing, and will soon com?
mence opening-making rapidly, it will
so open. There is mnoh yoting ootton,
and it has to do mostly its fruiting in
August, and is liable to disappointing
contingencies.
There would be no damage in a little
bragging and incautious representations,
bot for the injury it may do the planter,
by lowering the prioes prematurely, for
the benefit of those wno deal in and
manufacturo the article.
Planter, be oauti?us, be wise.

THE LIBERAL MEETING IS CHABLOTTF,
N. C.-ADDBESS OF OABII SonuBz-FiBE
-ACCIDENT, ETO-The flourishing town
of Churlo tte, N. C., was in a per foot
blur J of excitement, on Monday. A
liberty pole, ornamented with an old
white hat, had been ereoted the previous
Saturday, and at an early hour on Mon?
day, the stars and stripes were flung to
the breeze. . The streets were thronged
with citizens-business having been
generally suspended-and about nine
o'clook, special trains over the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta, the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford, North Caro?
lina and Air-Line Railroads contributed
their quotas to the throng; the residents
in the vicinity of the town coming in by
hundreds on horsebaok, in vehicles and
on foot. A platform, suitably decorated,
was ereotod in tho grounds adjacent to
ihe Presbyterian Church; seats were also
provided for several thousand persons
under the trees. It was announced that
speaking would commence- at ll o'clock,
but by 10 the crowd began to assemble,
and at the appointed hour, fully 0,000
persons-many of thom ladies-had con?
gregated. After music by the "Hornet
Band," Capt. Burwoll, President of tho
Greeley and Brown Club, introduced to
the audience Gov. Walker, of Virginia,
who in eloqoont language addressed the
assemblage for about three-quarters ol
an hour. He was followed by the great
Missouri orator, Senator Carl Schurz,
who delivered a stirring campaign
speeoh, in whioh President Grant's ad
ministration was severely handled, ant
Seoretary Boutwell's "bloody chasm'
speeoh completely riddled. [A length]
report of the Senator's speech is ap
pended.I Ex-Gov. Graham, of Nortl
Carolina, followed, and was attentively
listened to.
During the delivery of Senato
Sohurz's address, the alarm of fire v.a
raided-which at first was believed to b
false and intended to interrupt the meet
ing; it was found, however, that an un
inhabited building, on Tryon street
near the jail, was in flames. It was th
work of an incendiary, aoolored man, wb
was arrested, the same evening, througl
the exertions of our former folio weit
zen, Charles Harrison, the efficient mai
shal of the town. While running to th
fire, one of the firemen, Mr. Fran
Ross, fell and the heavy engine ran ovc
his head, injuring him severely.
The people of North Carolina ai
working energetically. The conservi
lives are sanguine of success in tho ele>
tion to beheld on the 1st.
Mr. J. C. Mills introduced Senate
Sehnrz in the following words:
FELLOW-CITIZENS: I have the honor <
introducing to yon a gentleman who hi
won a world-wide reputation-a patrii
.who has defended liberty and freedom i
the halls of kings and of dictators, c
orator who has spoken tho truth at
oombatted oppression in two worlds.
Mr. Schurz stepped io iue front of tl
platform and spoke as follows:
1 FELLOW-CITIZENS, LADIES AND GE
TLEMEN: I shall not try to amuse ye
with anecdotes to make you laugh; I ii
tend only to appeal to you iu a few pla
words of truth. Imagine for a mome
that you had never belonged to any p
litical party, and that you stood he
simply as patriotic citizens, mot to co
suit together for tho best interests
your country. What do you see? Y<
see a great republic, whioh has pass
through a mighty revolution, und a ps
of the country lying prostrate at t!
feet of the conqueror-a groat social i
volution, whioh has ohanged your whe
system of labor. You see further a G
vern ment which oppresses the wholo
the interest of a section, and the grow
of loose morals in all departments
official life. Seeing all this you w
find it neoessary, first, that there shot:
be a complete patriotio uprising in t
country, to produce a full reconciliad
between those two sections of the peo]
who stood antagonistic in tho late wi
Second, that to make theohacge in ye
system productive of good, this chan
must be first strengthened by law; ai
third, be strengthened by local si
government. To gain these objects
was necessary that certain constitutioi
amendments should be consummate
And here, I am sure, the Governor
Virginia did not wish to be misund
stood. He did not mean that the ohanj
brought about by the Constitution
done away with, but that those exeri
ing the power should be restrained fr
over-stepping the powers granted
them. In order to gain the second <
jeot, it was neoessary to fix the logi
results of the war so that tho South*
people should be made to feel as little
possible the sting of defeat, willing
they were to accept the situation and
seoure the benefits of good governme
To accomplish this it was neoessary t
they should see that the Northern p
pie meant not only to be their conqu
ors but also their friends. In the foo
place, it will be found that it was nee
sary to make this a government of li
again, instead of a government of
arbitrary will. In the fifth place, it<
neoessary to make the laws supreme i
re-establish the sovereignty of prinoif
Fetlow-oitizecs, as a consistent ad
cate of the prinoiples of the Republic
party, in its purest and best sense, I w
to address moro particularly my Rep
lioan friends. As a Republican, 11
always hoped that theso great obj?
would be accomplished by the Repu
can party. Has it accomplished
duties? Has it solved these problems?
far as emancipation is concerned it bas.
4,000,000 of men have boen raised from
a state of servitude tp freedom, and have
been invested with all the rights and
privileges of white citizens. From my
point of view all this was well.
Has the Republican party solved the
problem of making the Southern people
contented and happy? Has it provided
for local self-government and a good
National Government? At the expira?
tion of the war, the negro population of
the South, ignorant and easily misled,
fell into the hands of rapacious men,
who had succeeded in worming them?
selves into their confidence. And here
I would speak candidly. I think that if
immediately after the war was over, the
white people of the Sooth had acted in
suoh a way BB to ussure tue colored po?
pulation that they might repose confi?
dence in thom, they might have gained
tho political supremaoy. I will not say
that there was not much in the situation
of tho white people of tho South, in the
indignities to which they were subjeoted
by tho General Government, to excuse
this mistake on their part. But, how?
ever this may be, this was tho fact, and
the result was that the powor fell into
the hands of iguorant and rapacious po?
litical leaders, and then such disasters
befell the South as bad never before be?
fallen a Stute in the whole history of
this country-disasters to which the
noble Governor of Virginia bas so elo?
quently alluded.
I will not say that the Republican
party was able to prevent all these dis?
asters. Every revolution carries some?
thing of tho kind after it. But why did
they not grant universa! amnesty? Must
it not have been appareut to every snne
mind, that by stripping of their rights a
body of citizens who represented no
mean portion of the wealth and intelli?
gence of the ?South, they only kept alive
those animosities which were brough)
about by the war? Yet amnesty was nol
granted until a great event occurred
the Liberal movement, which r?sult?e
in the nomination of Horace Greeley al
?Cincinnati. [Applause.] The amnesty
bill that was then passed was the firsl
J great victory of the Liberal movement
? [Applause.] Another great victory hai
been gained by the Cincinnati move
ment. It moat be apparent to you all
that this regime ol robbery whioh hai
prevailed in many Southern States, main
tained itself only by the support it re
ceived from the Government-the Re
publican party ia its national capacity
In this the Republican party showec
itself the allies and abettors of the rob
bera who stripped you naked.
As to the next political objeot to bi
gained at the close of the war-to mak
this a government of law again, insteai
of a mere government of arbitrary will
have the laws been maintained? Let u
seo. In one instance, the Presiden
himself went so far as to take into hi
own bauds the war power, whioh ia vestei
in Congress, to uphold, by his navy,
foreign ruler, with whom he was en
gaged iu a real estato speculation
[Laughter, j Show mo the Rep?blica:
Senator who opposed this transaction
proscribed, he is now marching unde
tho Cincinnati flag. It does seem as j
the laws were only made for the gc
verned, and not for those engaged in tb
governing business. [Laughter.] Yo
see a Secretary of tho Treasury paying
large sum of money to a contractor, be
yond what tho law authorizes him, au
the investigating committee decide
that i? tho Secretary of the Treasnr
found it to be for the good of the cout
try. ho did right. And when tho Seen
tary of the Treasury sets the exampli
we must not hopo a mere assessor to t
botter. [Laughter.] Again, tho Seen
tary of War sells large quantities of arn
and munitions to a foreign Governmeu
in direct violution of all rules of intern
tional law, and what do the Congre
sional Investigating Committee say? Tl
officers of tho army knew best what wi
for the good of the country, and if the
saw fit that the arms be sold, they we:
right in construing lha law to suit the
purpose. And what has become of tho:
who denounced these abuses? I ha1
myself stood protesting on the floor
Congress, and boon amazed nt tho da
tardly courage with which right w
colled wrong; that dastardly couraj
with which principles wore maintaine
like that, tbat the Secretary of tho Tre
sury could violate tho laws, if he thong
it for the good of tho oountry-prim
pies and doctrines which would mal
every friend of freedom grow pale ai
the fathers of the Constitution turn
their very graves. And do you now a
what was the reason why all these mi
were driven from the Republican rack
The Republican party had become fe
gotful of ita high principles. And nov,
may have some office-holders with
hearing of my voice, and I ask you,
there one of you who can call his so
his own? ?Groat applause.] Eve
oonaideration of the pnblio good h
been sacrificed for the purpose of pai
support.
Republicans, look at your own State
North Carolina. Tho Secretary of t
Treasury has recently paid you a vis
He says we need immigration; but
says the Democrats don't want immigi
tion. Now, I ask every one of y
whether it is true that you don't wa
immigration? TNo.] But he says y
don't wish to give immigrants indue
moots to settle among you. But wt
does the Republican party in this Ste
I say in its action? Is taxing the agrioi
I turist and the manufacturer so hig
that taxation amounts to a virtual cc
flsoation of his property, a good way
welcoming the immigrant? So that i
gument of the Seoretary falls to t
ground, too. But the Seoretary of t
Treasury says that the Democrats r
opposed to education. Now, I nek eve
one of you, whether it is true that y
don't think education is a good thing 1
all men? [Cries of "No."] But I CB
not bring myself to believe that thc
are promoters of education who hold t
school fund; and thoso aro not inviti
immigrants who, iu tho words of t
Secretary, protest against clasping bands
aoross the bloody chasm. Unless I am
badly informed, the Southern people are
marahing as one man under the Liberal
banner, and this assures me that they
are all contending for liberty, equal
rights and universal amnesty. If suoh
assurances do not fill up the bloody
chasm, what does it mean, that you are
rallying around old Horace? Was not
Horaoo Greeley the most enthusiastic ad?
vocate of the constitutionaal amend?
ments? And is not every one aware that
Horace Greeley has been constantly
lighting for principle? Yot you rally
around that man, whose whole life is
identified with the very same things you
are suspected of a desire to overthrow.
Why, gentlemen, is not that assurance
enough to fill the bloody chasm? No;
there is something the Secretary of the
Treasury wants-that the whole South?
ern people should vote the Republican
tioket. (Interrupted by fire-bell.]
Fellow-citizens, whun I was inter?
rupted, I was just asking my Republican
friends how they cnn expect, under the
existing circumstances, the Southern
people to come into the ranks of the
Republican party, knowing, as they do,
that it wan the party that supported the
robbers that were sucking out your sub?
stance? How cnn they expect that the
Southern people should step into the
rauks and perpetuate that party, whom
even ita own supporters had to have tu
carryout its objects; for they cousidered
that no party hud a right to stand in the
way of public welfare.
I never felt the necessity of the vic?
tory of the Cincinnati movement more
than since I have beon in North Caro?
lina. For what do I see here? I Bee 8
great party fighting for great principles,
composed of men who were but rece nt lj
engaged ia active war against the United
States, but who, at the dose of thc
war, readily submitted, and have evei
since steudly abided by its results, anc
are now striking bauds with their ole
enemies, nnder the banner of universa
suffrage and national reconciliation; anc
on the other side, another party anxioui
to perpetuate those prejudices anc
hatreds engendered by the war, and re
gretting that those disorders had ceased
which in keeping alive the animositie
alone can prolong its existence; really
ready at the time to set a premium on i
Ru Rtnx. [Laughter and applause.
Like Richard III, they would cry, ii
their.hearts, at least, 100 colleotorahipa

And now it seems the whole power c
the National Government must b

And now, gentlemen of the Ridioi
persuasion, what a fall is this? Whe
you look back upon the proud achievi
met t of your party, does not the bins
of shame mouut to your cheek? Folio
the voice of shame, if not of houor, an
stand by the people's rights.
And now, my Southern friends, I hm
a few words to say to you. I have ni
oome here to flatter you-I have ut
come to help you regain anything ye
lost by thu war. In the war, I sloe
against you, because I believed in pri
eiples opposed to those which you mai
taiued, and which I still advocate to-do
If there is anything that unites us, it
that you have dropped many of yoi
prejudices, and are ready to co-opera
with ns iu the great work of the re-eat
blishment of equal rights and univers
justice.
Young men of the South, you ha
lost efforts behind you, but yet gre

that I was surprised and pained to he

from Mr. W. J. Duffie a copy of a novel
by Anthony Trollope, entitled "The
Golden Lion of Granpere." It contains
numerous illustrations. The story is told
in the author's entertaining style, but
is lacking in stirring or thrilling inci?
dents-the plot being the objection of
an uncle to the marriage of his son and
niece. The hard-headed old gentleman
afterwards yields, and all parties are
happy. Seventy-five cents will purchase
the book.
