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.

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.

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,

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

CHICAGO, August 21.-No now develop?

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.

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

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.

er of Ebb West, was arrested at Whites

GENERAL FARNSWORTH OK POLITICAL
RECORDS. - General J. F. 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.

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 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 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.

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?

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? And did not Rhode Island
escape the military law and carpet-bag?

beries which havo since been forced

ONE of the worst forms of discoloration of
the skin, and ot pimpled and eruptive
faces, is caused by the use of CALOMEL and
BLUE MASS. Mercurial medicines are sup?
posed to have a special action on tho liver;
the theory is erroneous. If calomel is given
in repeated dosoa it produces salivation, and
in this condition the liver in badly damaged.
