Foreign A ital ri. LONDON, Ans?st 21.-A despatch from Belfast, last evening, says the oity was quieter than it had been daring the day, though the rioting bad not ended. The prisoners captured by the omo and mili? tary authorities were conveyed to jail under a strong escort of troops. No demonstrations toward a reson? were made. The municipal buildings were strongly guarded and tho stroets of the -oity were patrolled by cavalry. BEDFAST, August 21.-The hopes of a restoration of quiet, which were excited yesterday by a rather more peaceful state of affairs, have not boen realized. The -condition of the city was worse than ever last night. The authorities are powerless against the depredators, though supported by an armed foroe nf fully 5,000 men. School-honses have been destroyed, and it is with the utmost difficulty that some churches are pre? served from sharing their fate. Grave mismanagement on the part of the au? thorities is suspected, and the general dissatisfaction is so great that respectable -citizens intend to form vigilance com? mittees for the arrest and summary pun? ishment of offenders. American. Slatters. CHARLESTON, August 21.-Arrived steamships James Adger, Now York; Virginia, Philadelphia. NASHVILLE, TENN., August 18.-On the night of the 10th of August, Henry Wade, colored, went into the bed-room of John Shelby, living near Rose Hill, .Stewart County, Tenn., and ont his throat while asleep. MTS. Shelby awoke, screamed and swooned. Her scream aroused a Lro th or of Shelby, who was sleeping on the porch, and who, seeing Wade coming from tho room, grappled with him and a struggle eneued. Wade finally got away, obtained a fence-rail, and felled his antagonist with a blow on the head. He then attempted to escape, but was captured. The following night. Wade was taken by a party of men from the guard, carried into the woods, hung up to a tree, and his body riddled with bullets. Wade had been discharged by ?John Shelby from employment and had threatened revenge. John Shelby may recover, bot there is no chanco for his brother, whose skull is crushed. UTIOA, N.

ATLANTA, August 21.'-The platform adopted yesterday by the convention of straight Bemoorats declares the Govern? ment of tho United States one of limited power, delegated by the States, for the sp?cifie purposes of having no original, inherent power whatever; that the Union is federal in character, inoapable of ex? istence without the States, and a perpetu? ation of the Union depends upon the j preservation of the integrity of the I States; that the right of local govern? ment, subjection of military to civil authority, und habeas corpus in time of peace, aro not subject to any solemn constitutional obligation on the part of the Federal Government of any kind whatever; but the Government is under solemn constitutional obligations not to interfere in these matters.

Dr. Honard, who hos returned from Spanish imprisonment, attributes his re? lease to the efforts of the American press, to which he returus his warmest thanks. He thinks Fish mighb have acted more promptly, and that the Goverumeut, with all tho proofs before it that he was an American citizen, might have abbre? viated, or at least alleviated, his suffer? ings.

CHICAGO, August 21.-No now develop? ments to-day in regard to the commercial crisis, except that many firms yesterday reported ns having failed, are to-day as? serted UR abundantly able to meet all liabilities. There is a marked inclina? tion to purchase wheat at present, at a range of prices winch is generally be? lieved to be below the intrinsic value of the grain. There is a better feeling to? day, and the prospect is it will oontiuue to grow, and that many firms now under a cloud will come out all right. UTICA, N. Y., August 21.-The Con? vention nominated John A. Dix for Go? vernor, by acclamation. SARATOGA, August 21.-The first race was a hurdle race handicap, for all ages, of two railes, over eight hurdles; $500 to the winner, 3100 to the second horse. It was won by Blind Tom; Gaoz second.

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-Washington Logan, a printer, and a peaceful, inof? fensive man, while passing through the upper portion of this County, a few days since, was sot upon by a mob of infuri? ated negroes, beaten almost to death, and then dragged off to Kershaw jail, and lodged there nuder the charge of being the mnrderer of a negro killed re oontly somewhere above Camden. It seems that a day or two previously, some worthless tramp, in passing through the same neighborhood, had slapped a negro woman's faoe, and that her friends,^who were on the look-out for the offender, met Logan, and mistaking him, or pretend? ing to mistake him, for the person who bad committed the assault, seized and beat him most unmercifully. His life was saved by the interference of a negro, more prudent than the rest of his com? panions. After beating him, they then 1 accused him of being the murderer of the negro killed above Camden, and carried him to jail there, in tho hope of scouring the reward that had boen offered for Raid murderer. We learn that there is great indigna? tion felt in the community where this outrage was perpetrated, and that stops are being taken to bring the guilty par? ties to justice. It is certainly high time for suoh lawless conduct to be sup? pressed.-Sumter News. DEATH.-We reoord with sadness the death of Major T. Jarman Elford, which took place at Unionville, S. C., on the 9th instant. Major Elford had long re? sided in this community, and was for? mally known to a large number of oar citizens, who esteemed him for very many of those kindly virtues which sweeten social intercourse and soften the rough asperities of life. Major Elford was a member of the Palmetto Regiment during the Mexican war, and will be re? membered by the members of Jenkins' Brigade as the efficient commissary of that command, daring the late war. He was also a Mason, and was buried with Masonic honors at this place. [Carolina Spartan.

A revolution, whioh is South Ameri? ca's own fault to have called characteris? tic, has recently taken place in the Re? public of Peru. The Minister of War, relying upon the adherence of the army, seized the President and declared him? self dictator. A very dire scene of bloodshed followed at Lima and Callao. Unexpectedly tho army, battalion by battalion, deserted the usurper, who was seized, with many of his friends, and hanged, aud after death horribly mal? treated, their bodies-incredible as it may seem-being let fall from a high ca? thedral tower, and afterwards saturated with petroleum and burned. Finally law and order were restored, and the old Administration restored. TERRIBLE MORTALITY.-Since our last issue the colored population of the town i and vicinity have suffered many losses I by death.

Farnsworth spoke to a large audience at St. Charles, III., on Tuesday last. The following are extraots from hiB speech : It ia not the first time I have been de? nounced because I exercised the great, high prerogative of every American citi? zen, to think and aot for myself. Some twenty-five or six years ago, I was de? nounced because I left an old pro-slavery party, and united with a little hand-ful, an unpopular bund-ful, of anti-Bluvery men, in defence of the right. But, strauge to say, the denunciations of oven the old pro-slavery party of twenty-five years ago, were not as bitter, or as per? sonal, or its iutolerance so great, as those of the Grant party to-day. This comes from a personal Government. As, iu a monarchy, any retinal to support the King is treason to the King and tho State, so now refusal to support the pre? tensions of General Gruut and bis adhe? rents becomes treason to the Republican party and to the State. When yon go back to records, they are ugly things, and cut both ways. I was iu Congress in tho spring of 1861; went out of Con? gress on the 4th of March. During that lust session, when the Southern States, one after another, were seceding, a com? mittee, composed of thirteen gentlemen, wus raised in the House of Representa? tives, called a Committee upon the State of the Uniou, to devise sonto means of maintaining the Union. That commit? tee, through its Chairman, Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, reported a resolution amending thc Constitution of the Uuited States. I have it here, and I want to call your attention to that amendment and the votes upon it. Let us seo about these records. This was, murk you, in the spring of 1861, about tho same time that they say Mr. Lincoln was saying that it was impossible to tell how we could coerce States into tho Union if they were disposed to stay out of it, and there were a good many speeches made in Congress to that sume purport. They proposed to amend the Constitution, by forever putting it out of the power of the people to amend so as to abolish slavery, thns fastening the cbainB upon the blacks forever and ever, by a provision of tho Constitution. What was the vote upon that in the House of Representa? tives? I will read the names of the men who voted for it and against it. Of those who voted for it, the first name I notice of much prominence is that of Schuyler Colfax. I Laughter.] Well, he ?B a pretty good Republican, is he not? Yet he was willing to fasten the chains of slavery forever upon the slaves, in order to avoid war. Who else? John A. Logan. A good Republican, and Grant man sometimes. McPherson, of Penn? sylvania, the man who gets up the po? litical manuals for tho Ropublican party, and now Clerk of the House of Repre? sentatives, and a Grunt man. And thou, too, there were Morrill, of Vermont, a good Grant mau; and Dan. Sickles, aud Maynard, of Tennessee, aud Windora all Grant men. They all voted for that, with a good many others. Who voted in the negative in the House? I will read a few names. There is Ashley, of Ohio, a Greeley man to-day. I Applause] There is Blair, of Missouri-Frank Blair even voted against it-another Greeley man. And, not to speak of him as a man of any prominence, perhaps you may be iuterested a little in knowing about the vote of Farnsworth, of Illinois. [Applause.] He voted against it. And then Fenton, of Kew York-Governor Fenton, now a Greeley mau-voted against it. Then there was Sedgwick, of New York-another Greeley man-and Tappan, of New Hampshire, who was on the oommittee, and made a minority re? port; he voted against it, and ho recently came out for Greeley. Both Hickman and Grow, of Pennsylvania, voted against it, and they are both Greeley men to-day. So much for the record in the Housotfbf Representatives. How was it ?i^fue Senate? Among the mem? bers of Ufe Senate who voted for it were Anthony, of Rhode Island, and Harlan, of Iowa-good Grant men. There are 1 not many Senators now who were in the Senate at that time. Then of those who voted against it were Bingham, of Michi? gan, who is now dead; Doolittle, of Wis? consin, Sumner, of Massachusetts, {cheers, j and Trumbull, of Illinois. [Cheers.[ That is tho record made in those days, and now you denounce Greeley because ho was willing in 1861 to pay $100,000,000 for the emancipated slaves, aud stop the war. Would to God he could have done it. We could have saved $1,000,000,000, and 100,000 pro oious ?ives. [Cheers, j SENATOR SMALLS' DEFENCE.-Senator Smalls is charged on the Treasury books with drawing $500 from the armed force fond. Like his rival, Gou. Whipper, he promptly cornea forward, and denies having rendered any servioes which could properly bo charged to that elastic fond. Mr. Smalls did get the $500, but it was for labor and expenses in organ? izing the militia. This sum should have been charged to the militia appropria? tion. Once more, therefore, Governor Scott is convicted of the penal offence of misappropriating the publio money. [Charleston News. DIED ON THE CARS.-Mr. Charles Whit? ley, of Franklin Station, Va., was found dead on tho arrival of tho North-eastern Railroad train at Florence, on Saturday last. He is supposed to havo died of congestion of the braiu. He was em? ployed as engineer on the steamer Isis, on the WTutoreo River, and was on his way home to his family.-Sumter News. FATAL STREET Can ACCIDENT.-In Sa? vannah, ou Sunday afternoon, a little boy, about three years old, tho youngest sou of Mr. Alfred Robider, was run over by a street oar, and so seriously injured that he died on Monday morning. Auguste Moquet, (McKeat.) the Fran? co-Irish novelist, invented the word "Bo? hemian" for "journalist." The paper collar mea must be making fortune*. CHABIIES O'CONOR AND THE STRAIGHT OUT DEMOCRATS.-Tho Atlanta (Qa.) Sun, edited by Hon. Alexander H. Ste? phens, who opposes Mr. Greeley very bitterly, favors the nomination of Hon. Charles O'Conor by the Louisville Con? vention. It says: The Demooratio mind and heart seem to point strongly to Hon. Charles O'Co? nor, of New York, as the proper man for a standard-bearer in this contest for the preservation of principles. On Monday last, several gentlemen in this city sent a telegraphic despatch to non. Samuel J. Bayard, of New Jersey, asking if Mr. O'Conor would accept the Louisville nomination. On Tuesday, Mr. Bayard replied: "I am informed and believe he will." The same despatch was Bent to M. M. Pomeroy, of New York, to which he replied: "Nominate O'Conor. He strongly favors the Louis? ville move." Democrats of Georgia, lead the way to Louisville and victory. In contradiction of this, the New York Tribune states a prominent Demoorat declared on Friday, at the Liberal head? quarters in that city, that under no cir? cumstances would Mr. O'Conor consent to bo a candidate for the Presidency, and that less than two weeks ago, Mr. O'Co? nor, in tho speaker's hearing, had paid a high tribute to thu worth and patriotism of Mr. Greeley. HANDSOME OFFER OF A SOUTHERN WOMAN OF WEALTH.-Mrs. Carleton Belt, a wealthy matron of Locopolis, Mississippi, now of tho Coleman House, New York, has addressed a letter to Mr. Joseph Strauss, President of the Alsace Lorraine Society, in which ehe makes the following offer to a colony of from 100 to 500 persons: I could give homes to sixty families, besides a manufacturing colony of a hundred to sixty families, whose occupa? tion is farming. To each cottage, I would let fifty acres, fifteen to be rent freo, and to be planted in corn, peas, potatoes and other vegetables, to sus? tain their families, the remaining thirty five acres in cotton-half that is made to belong to me. If the season is a good one, the tenant will realize about $2,000; if a bad one, be will not lose, for I will share with him. I want honest, indus? trious people. If they havo not the meaus to start themselves, I will lend it to them. Should I get such a colony as I desire, I will devote the remainder of my life to their welfare and prosperity in this new world. The place is at the head of navigation for large vessels np the Yazoo Biver, half way between Mem? phis, Tennessee, and Vicksburg, about forty-eight boors by rail from New York city. THE STRAIGHT-OUTS.-The Now York Herald, of Saturday, says: The out-and-out. Jeffersonian, nnterri fied, hard shell, no surrender Democra? cy, held a oauons yesterday, in a parlor ut the St. James' Hotel, with the object of feeling her way to the nomination of a straight-out Democratic candidate for the Presidency, in particular hatred of Horace Greeley, and undying detesta? tion of Gen. Grant. They undertake their task with the full determination and expectation of making themselves political martyrs, and if they carry out their plans they are likely to succeed. They parted to meet at Louisville on the 13th of next month, when we shall see what we shall see. Their numerical force outside of hotel parlors it is diffi? cult to calculate exact ly, but to tho great Democratic parly they probably stand in about the same relation as the little pig the Hibernian could not count, because it kept running about BO much, did to the rest of his porkers. THE MURDER OF YOUNG PPESTON IN TEXAS.-Tho Montgomery (Va.) Messen? ger contains some particulars of the mur? der in Texas of Capt. Waller B. Prostor, son of the late Wm. Ballard Preston, lt seems that bis plaoe of residence waa Marlin, in Falls County. He had, how? ever, gone to Bu;mond on business, and while there he mude some remarks at which a man named Robinson took of? fence. This man immediately atrnok at Capt. Preston with a chair. A gentle? man who was present ran between them, catching hold of the chair, whereupon Robinson thrust through under thechair, aud stabbed Preston in the heart. Young Preston had served through the late war in the Confederate army with distinguished valor, surviving ita perils, to be slain at last by an assassin. WHO CARES?-At the time that Messrs. Bowen, Whipper and Hurley were press? ing tho impeaohment resolutions, Gov. Scott told a prominent bank officer, in Columbia, that "he did not care a how much it cost to defeat the resolu? tions; the money would not oome ont of his pocket." Nor did it all come ont of tho armed force fund. It cost $207,000 to buy enough votes to kill the impeaoh? ment business; which is more than the reported expenditures for the mythical soldiery. Pereaps the appropriations for tho Lunatio Asylum, the Peniten? tiary and the Catawba Indians were charged with the remainder. [Charleston News.

KING di August 22 ??tmo JUAHEZ.-President Juarez was buried in the same cemetery where, lies the body of ox-President Miramon, shot by his orders at Qnirataro. It is worth no? ticing that Juarez, who had doomed eo many men to sudden death, died at last as soddenly as though he had been shot by a vindictive bullet. Maximilian, the brilliant, reokleis Miramon, Yidawon, the ablest Mexican General of the pre? sent generation, and Mejia, the grim In? dian, who remained faithful to the Em? peror when men of better reputation betrayed him, were only a few of the victims whose death-warrant Juarez signed. Whatever may be said in favor of Juarez, however much his energy, patriotism and indomitable will may be praised, he was certainly as merciless as the most vindictive Indian of the Plains. His sucooBsor is evidently a very differ? ent sort of man, for his first act has been to grant amnesty to all but two of the adherents of the fallen empire. The "resurrection" business is getting lively, and Senator Wilson and General Logan are not the only sufferers by its unpleasant disclosures. The Springfield Republican presents this text to Con? gressman Dawes, from a speech of his printed in the Congressional Globe of March 20, 1871: "I cannot feel that when we come to discuss the question of peace, of life and death, in ten or eleven States of this Union, we ought to talk about the question whether we are Dem? ocrats or Republicans, whether we are working with one Bide or the other. I marvel, sir, at the mind that can find food in these days from such husks as that. I will contribute no part of my influence or my time to fan the flame of partisan prejudice, or further to disturb the peace of this Union upon these ques? tions." PAST AND PRESENT.-The New York Express, speaking of the Ku Klux busi? ness in connection with the Albany prisoners, well says: Was not the Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island, twenty-eight or thirty years ago, more formidable than all law-breaking riots, insurrections, secret societies, Ku Klux and vigilance committees in all the Southern pro? scribed States combined during the past so ven years?
