Commons, last night, resumed the de?
bate on the motion for tho removal of
Justice Keogh from the bench, for his
decision in tbe Galway election case,

Senator Sumner was serenaded at bis
home, in Lafayette Square, by the co?
lored people. There was an immense
audience and unbounded enthusiasm.
Sumner talked altogether to the colored
people. He said he never thought of
them except as his friends, among whom
be bad lived more than twenty years.
During that period a great many changes
bad taken place affecting their interests.
Then they wore slaves; now tbey are cit?
izens, with all the rights enjoyed by their
neighbors. Then they were degraded
and deprived of schools, the ballot-box
and street cars; now these are all open
to them, never again to oloae. Involu?
tions never go backward, and they are
sure, forever more, in tbe right? they
now enjoy. These rights all politioal
parties cow concede and acknowledge,
and have placed in their platforms, and
be doubted not that oro longa law would
be passed fully redeeming these pledges.
He advised them never to oast a vote
for u man who is not true to them; to I
let the allegiance of politioal candidates
to them be tbe measure of their support
at the polls. He cloted by assuring the
colored people that he would ever be
their, true friend, aud would never be
pushed, tempted or bent from that posi?
tion and their support.
RYE BEACH, N.'H., August9.-Horace
Greeley accepts an invitation to visit
here about the 16th.
COLORED CONSERVATIVES.-In the name
of the Conservative party, we thank the
oolored men of this County for their as?
sistance in the late election. Numbers
of them, who bad heretofore blindly fol?
lowed and voted with the Badioal party,
hare shaken off tbe crushing grasp of
Radical despotism, and asserted and
executed their right and privilege to vote
for whom they desired. They have be?
gun to open their eyes and look at the
situation in its true light. Many of
them who voted tbe Radical ticket have
declared themselves disgusted with that
party, and have openly expressed them-1
selves in favor of Greeley and Brown. I
We are inolined to think the Grant-and- j
ruin party will have but a few supporters I
in old Anson by the time the people are
called upon to express their choice for a
President.- Wadesboro (N. G.) Argus.
SOCIAL OSTRACISM .-The Eufaula (Ala )
Times says: Some twenty or thirty oo?
lored men left on Monday evening'^
train, to attend the Radical County.Con?
vention tb be held in Clayton1. Among
the crowd were six or eight "Greeley
niggers," with whom the "Grant colored
gentlemen" would not affiliate or recog?
nize, and wben the "Greeley niggers"
boarded the train and entered the car in
whioh the "Grant colored gentlemen"
were seated, the latter bounced out of
their seats and went into the smoking
oar, to avoid the pr?senos and tbe smell
o' them "d-d Greeley niggers." It
was a bit of social ostracism aa rioh aa
it was refreshing. Nevermind! After
tbe 5th of November next, the Radicals
will not have the nerve to snub a dog.
HORROR OF A LUNATIC ASYLUM.-J. T.
Van Vleck, the banker, who hos been
incarcerated in tbeBloomingdale, N. Y., I
lunatic asylum over a year, although per?
fectly sane, has commenced legal pro?
ceedings, whioh be states will expose the
horrors of that institution. His counsel
has obtained writs of habeas corpus for
tbe release of two ladies, who also bave
been incarcerated there on bogus certi?
ficates, and who are perfeotly sane.
George R. Irving, late a keeper at the
asylum, publishes affidavits relating to
many cruelties, resulting in death, by the
parties connected with the so-called asy?
lums, and that the food is poor and filth
the rule.
FBABPUL'OUTRAOB.-At Clifton's mills,
Franklin County, on the day of election, !
Hal Young, a man of aolor and a oon
servative ever since the war, exeroised I
hts right as a free, man by voting for the 1
oonservatine ticket. As soon as be bad
deposited his tioket and before time was
given him to leave the polls, Tom Spi
voy, another oolored man, took a pitch?
fork and killed him where he stood.
The murderer was arrested upon the spot
and is now in the Louiabnrg jail. No
quarrel had taken place.

THB "PUPPY" SCHURZ.- EX- Judge
H?ge, a prominent Radical candidate for
anything worth having, spoke at New?
berry last week, and called Senator
Soburz "a red whiskered Butch puppy."
This is reported in tbe Newberry Herald
-a paper of nnimpeaobable respectabili?
ty. The adopted citizens of the Union
will not forget Mr. Hogs.
[Charleston News.
THE CHOLERA IN JAPAN.-The last
steamer whioh arrived at San Francisco
from Japan, brought intelligence of the
occurrence of cholera in Jeddo, which
had proved signally fatal. With tho
disease in Germany, it would now seem
that we are betweeu two fires, and under
double necessity to be prepared for
emergency.
Senator Sumner will answer William
Lloyd Garrison's recent letter at length,
reviewing his own politioal rooord und
refuting tbe misstatements made by tbat
reckless politician.

THE AMAZONS OP IOWA.-Au Iowa cor?
respondent furnishes the following story
of womanly prowess to provo that the
race of amazons in thut State, ut least,
is by uo means extiuet:
"When theSabula, Ackley and Dakato
Railroad was being looated,*the line hap?
pened to pass through the lands of u
woman known in the neighborhood as
Mother Haines, and living twenty-five
miles Wost of Subula. She strenuously
objeoted to having her property cut by
the road, and, accordingly, the damages
were regularly assessed and tho right of
way assumed. When the workmen ar?
rived, however, ber wrath WHB ut a fever
heat, and would not be appeased. The
appearance of the locomotive made
things no better, but rather worse, for
one morning, as thu train oame up, the
engineer found a fence built across the
road, and Mother Haines defiantly sit?
ting astride at the middle of the track.
The rest is told in the peculiar dialect of
our informant. Would she get off? I
reckon not. Thar she sot an' shook ber
fist at the engineer till the train stopped.
Then the conductor came out au' or?
dered ber off, but she didn't budge an
inch. Then he swore at her-an' mind,
I tull you when Jim swares the air gets
blue-but she wasn't much ou the skeer.
At last the engineer sez, sez he, 'Stand
back Jim, I'll biste her,' au' lettiu' on
steam be went for her, but thar she sot,
a screamiu' un' swiugiu' that fist. I'd
sooner take a tap from a settin' maul.
Why, Bbe batted Havens with it a few
days ago, an' you ought to Eeo bim drop.
Havens belongs to the engineer force,
au' be hasn't hud a clear title to his right
eye since. As I was savin', tbe engin'
come on au' sba cut dirt just as tbe rails
begun to fly. They rattled about her
legs, but we left ber a sbakin' that fist
till we got ont of sight. That was a
good while ago. Why, jist last Sunday
we was eornia' out with a wood train
fifteen cars-au* right at the foot of the
hill the wheels begun to spin around,
and it wouldn't go nohow. What d'ye
think? Them rails was greased as far
as to that caboose down yonder. Thar
was more'n half a hog cat up an' laid in
chunks on the rails. An' oaroseen oil
my soul I We backed out an* sanded the
track an' oame a rushin' up, but the
wheels would strock one of them fat
chunks an' thar we was. Wbar was she?
Why, standin' off on tho hill a lookin'
on nu' langhin'. Make her afeared to
do it? D'ye Bee them big cusses on that
train? Why, they'd rather face a thou?
sand cheese pots (chassepots?) than that
ole woman. I tell you, mister, she's a
strapin' big thing, au' she's on her mus?
cle. Ef she g ?es for a fellow she fetches
him. Here the conductor called out 'all
aboard,' so that if there was auy more
of the story, I failed to get it."
BLAINE IN MAINE.-Mr. Blaine, of
Maine, has been a good deal laughed ut
for what Ima been supposed to be the
self-sufficient bumptiousness of his letter
in reply to Mr. Sumner, Mr. Sumner
not having particularly addressed him?
self to Mr. Blaine. But this is unjust
to Mr. Blaine, of Maine. He had an
objeet iq bis reply, and an object of
priae to himself. Our frieuds, who bavo
begun in earnest tbe campaign in Maine,
send us word that Mr. Blaine is fighting
for his politioal life. The Liberal Re?
publican revolution in bis district is so
serious that it threatens to throw bim
out of public life entirely; and bis appa?
rently Unprovoked war-dance in front of
Mr. Sumner was really inteuded to stir
ap, if possible, all tho dying embers of
passion among his own constituents.
The loss of Blaine will bo a serious one
to the Grantites. The loss of Maine
will be a more serious one to them still.
But after North Carolina we suspect they
may as well make up their minds to bear
both these losses. After that they will
find it easier to endure the general am?
putation and dissection reserved for
them in November.-New York World,
.
At the recent term of the Court of
General Sessions for Bickens County,
Judge Orr gave the following decision
on tho jurisdiction of the court in cases
of bastardy:
Ia tho case of bastardy, after a true
bill bas been rendered, tho Judge grunt?
ed an order discharging the prisoner, on
tho ground that the Court of Sessions,
if any jurisdiction, bad only jurisdiction
on appeal, and in the course of his re?
marks iutimated that, as a conviction in
the Court of Trial Justice would impose
a penalty exceeding the jurisdiction of
that court, it could not try tba ouse. The
Constitution gives to Justices of the
Peace, individually or jointly, as the Le?
gislature may provide, original jurisdic?
tion in all oases of bastardy. As yet no
provision has been made to carry this
into effect, the jurisdiction of Trial Jus?
tices being limited to $100 as to actions
on contraot or tort, and, also, to penal
offenoes punishable by fine only. Bas?
tard ay still oontinues a statutory offence,
though at present no conrt bas cogni?
zance of the offence.
THE OUTRAGES ON THE RIO GRANDE
BORDER.-The United States is, proba?
bly, tho only great civilized power on
the earth tbut would permit its soil tobe
continually invaded and its citizens
murdered and plundered with impunity
by invading bands of bordering foreign?
ers. Yet, according to our despatches
published iu auotber column, tbeso
crimes and invasions by Mexicans on
the Boil of the republio and upon our
citizens iu Texas have beconio as regu?
lar as day follows day. Mexico cannot
muko ber pooplo behave themselves, and
our own Government shows as little
ability to chock Mexican outrages. All
along the border, these cattle thieves
and murderers scoff at the Aioericau flag
und ride rough-shod over the territory
and oitizous as if they wore tho lords of
tho soil. How long is this to lust? The
state of things existing cu tho Bio
Grando border is incipient war, and yet
tbe Government at Washington folds its
arms and looks on with indifference.

Mos?Y ON A RAID-Col. Jobn S.
Mosby bas been milking n Grant speech
nt a political meeting in Salem, Fanquier
County, Va. "Mosby on a Raid" ia the
attractive heading which his new allies
give to his attack on tile Greeleyites.
"Mosby on a Raid" was not wont to fill
the truly loil with pleasurable sensations. !
No ono disputes Ute qualities of Col.
Mosby SB a guerrilla. Though not as
prominent a personage among the Confo
derate leaders as Geu. Longstreet, be
was, for a mosquito partisan, most ac?
tive, drew blood quickly and eluded cap?
ture skillfully, lu bis late speech, he
essays th? role of the stump speaker,
but it is no discredit to him that he does
not Bbow to muoh advantage in u line iu
which he hus had so little practice. Very
few soldiers are good speech-makers.
Even Gan. Grant does not venture on a
set speech, nor have wo heard of any
essay in that direction by Gen. Long?
street. Col. Mosby himself, in the fre?
quent political contents in Virginia since
the war, does not seem to have been
called upon by the Conservative party to
represent them in RB politioal discus?
sions. Ho is no doubt more a man of
notion than of words. Col. Mosby glo?
rifies the conduct of Geu. Grant at Ap?
pomattox, and refers to the creditable
fact that he did not have a triumphal
procession through Richmond at the
close of the war. All our generals acted
befittingly in that regard, we believe,
aud no one questions that Gen. Grant
i was true to his military training and sol?
dierly instincts at that time. It would
have been very improper for any Ameri?
can soldier to have BO paraded u triumph
over his countrymen, when all wore too
glad to reach tbe end of strife. But
Col. Mosby seems to ignore the differ
! euee between tbe politician and the eol
! dior, und the change which necessarily
has come over Gen. Grant since he bas
? been manipulated by mere party men
for the perpetuation of their own power,
j With the change of the Radical policy of
reconstruction, the President seems to
i have changed, or he has so given way to
I others who are illiberal and proscriptive,
that tbe results are no longer what they
would have been, bad he continued to
act upon his original impulse; whereas,
on tho other band, Mr. Greeley has
shown ' the spirit throughout, and still
holds and stands pledged to it for the
future, whioh Grant exhibited at first,
and bas since unfortunately fallon away
from. Col. Mosby, however, is not
likely to bring much strength to Gen.
Grant in Virginia.-Baltimore Sun.
THE OVERFLOW-RELIEF NEEDED.
Our latest advices from up the rivers con?
vince us that the Bufferers from the re?
cent disastrous overflow, are in actual
want to such an extent as to make it in?
cumbent upon the more fortunate peo?
ple of Alabama to take some steps look?
ing to their relief. Nb ne save such as
bave visited the scene eau form even an
I approximate idea of bow it is; hence
many will, doubtless, be astonished
when we assure them that thousands
along the Alabama and tributaries have
been so reduced in circumstances as to
leave their families entirely without sup?
plies-their children are actually crying
for breadl And, what is still worse,
there is no chance for self relief, for it is
now too late in tbe neason to begin an?
other crop. Many are already in debt
for supplies consumed in making tbe
crop just lost, and consequently there is
no credit for them, of course.
Tbe reader well remembers the efforts
tbat were made to relieve the Chicago
sufferers-bow he sympathized with or
acted in the movement-and now we as?
sure bim that Chicago had no greater
sufferers than we have to-day in the
overflowed district of the Alabama val?
ley. In fact, worse sufferers could not
be; for they have lost everything they
bad, lost their credit, and hence, unless
relieved by their friends, must literally
starve by hundreds.-Mobile Register.
THE IRISH RAILROADS.-Among the
bills in the British Parliament is one au?
thorizing tho purchase by the Govern?
ment, of all the railroads in Ireland for
the sum of ?JO,OOO,OOO pounds. This
measure was inspired by a royal commis?
sion, which was appointed some time
ago to investigate the subject, and whose
report was an earnest recommendation
in favor of tho scheme. But the bill is
meeting with considerable opposition in
the lower house, and its prospects of suc?
cess do not seem te be very considerable.
THE CONTRARY POLITICIAN.-The Pe?
tersburg Progress says that it is lament?
ably too true that as a general rule the
I politicul creed of the oolored people in
the South, under the dictation of their
leaders, is, "See which way the white
peoplo are, then vote on tbe other side."
If these colored people live long enough
they will probably learn better, especial?
ly after a certain self-degrading class of
whites have died off.
"Ma, if I should die and go to heaven
Bbould I wear my moir antique dress?"
"No, my love, we can soaroely suppose
that we shall wear the attire of this world
in the next." "Then, ma, how will the
angels know tbat I belong to the best so?
ciety?"
A "woman of business" in Arkansas,
bas just tarred and feathered her hus?
band. If a fellow is to be "Ku Kluxed,"
how much nicer it must be to have it
done by the wife of bis bosom than by
the cold, rough hand of a hooded
stranger.-New York Sun.
President Thiers said tho other day in
the French Assembly tbat, in his opin?
ion, King William, oft Prussia, was an
abler mau than Fredorick the Great;
that Bismarck was greater than Cardinal
Richelieu, and Field Marshal Moltko tho
most eminent strategist that ever lived.
The Chicago papers tell an astonish?
ing story of a mau who went into a faro
bank with only live dollars, one evening,
and won $16,000 before morning.
If you will look into tho Grant organs
you will find that all "our colored fellow
citizens" are for Grant, and all tbe "nig
I gera" for Greeley.
ANOTHER SNAKE STOBT.-Mr. Oy rua
Kiug, of Barre, Mass., aged seventy-five
years, has suffered forty years from a dis?
tress ie the stomach, which he thought
came from some living creature which
ho had swallowed while drinking at a
spring. Last week he was delivered of
a brown snake fifteen inches long and
tbree-eigbtbs of an inch in diameter, and
is doing OB well as could be expected.
Tho reptile, it is said, is lonesome in its
old age.
GEN. DIX.-The New York Press, ia
noticing the letter of Gen. John A. Dix,
in whbh he declares for Gen. Grant for
President Boys: "Gen. Dix, it will never
be forgotten, shut ?up BO many papers
during the war, such a one as the Jour?
nal of Commerce, and did so macy other
extraordinary things, that it became Im?
possible for bim to be recognized by ths>
Democratic party."
The city editor of the Jacksonville*
Journal, referring to the approaching*
graduating ceremonies at the various fe?
male academies in that modern Athena,
says: "A few days more and all this ex?
citement and deep suspense will be over,
and another bevy of laughing BohooL
girls will have suddenly passed beyond,
the confines of girlhood and be in active
preparation foj the confines of woman?
hood."
The Baltimore p-^ers complain of
