mnoh lesa put forward aa a candidate, who waB not an honest man. W. J. Whipper was next called ont, ?and made an able speech. Ho deplored the misplaoed confidence of the colored peoplo in the base men who bad be? trayed them. He knew that the people -would not endorse tbe villainies whioh bad been perpetrated, and that they wonld now as promptly rally for reform ?ns they had before done to that of Re? publicanism and reconstruction. Tbe publio debt, bo showed, had been in? creased $10,000,000, as was known, and what was unknown, God only oould tell. He exposed the bribery which bad been practiced in tho validating bill, tho caso of impeachment and tho bill to pay Himpton $900,000, for gambling in the bonds of the Stato, and in othor in? stances. Tho men guilty of these Acts, be said, could be found in tho State House, congratulating themselves over the nomination of tbe chief of tho cor ruptionists, F. J. Moses, Jr. After Mr. Whipper's address; a motion was oarried to adjourn until to-morrow, at ll o'clock, ut which timo ouly dele? gates to the State, Congressional and Circuit Conventions are expected to at? tend. LIST OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Armstrong, Gator & Co.-Ribbous. G. DierokB-To Kent. Trotting Horse For Sale. Universal Life Insurance Company. BotrrwEiii/sFRAUDS.-Thoughtful pei - -sons were slow to believe tbo oft-repeat? ed assertions of the Secretary of the Treasury that the national debt was .rapidly being extinguished, that the in? terest was being reduced, and that the national finances wore in a most healthy and satisfactory condition. Many not only doubted but flatly disbelieved these periodical declarations, knowing full well that tbe unexpected emergency whioh had arisen in the President's politioal fortunes, and with it the peril to whioh the tenure of the Secretary's official life was exposed, furnished the strongest motives for deception and fraud. It waa necessary that some good should be found in the Administration of the Pre? sident where evil seemed so fearfully in the ascendancy, and it was for the Sec? retary to find it. It was simply what the vulgar would oall "a ground-hog case," and no one appreciated the situation more fully than tbe adroit and unscrupu? lous Seoretary. The Democratic resident committee at Washington have, however, conclusively shown the falsity of these statements, and have pricked this gilded and decep? tive bubble, which, seemed to bear Cresar and bis entire politioal fortunes. This committee bavo, by a careful bod accu? rate array of figures, taken from offioial records, shown how hollow and baseless were the assumptions of the false and ounning Seoretary. They are authentio in every particular, and need only to be examined to carry convlotion to the reader. They roveal the most extraordi? nary state of affairs whioh has existed in the Treasury Department since the esta? blishment of the Government. It ap? pears that, instead of the gratifying con? dition whiah Mr. Bontwell claims exists in that department, the most unparal? leled looseness prevails, the most'as? tounding frauds are disclosed, and through them the enormous sum of over ' $156,000,000 have been misappropriated or pookoted. Among whom this great sum of the people's money has been divided is, of course, unknown, but the figures show nmistakably that the ro corda betray a discrepancy to that amount. The money has gone some? where, and while the Seoretary is absent from his post engaged in oampaign work for his master, the people, who have to supply this gaping deficiency, may well examine the details and reflect npon tbe extraordinary proportions of tbe rob? bery. The committee who framed it, wbo .examined tbe offioial records and based ?heir calculations upon them, are gentle? men of standing and bonor, and tbe fa? cility and oertainty with whioh their ?errors could ba exposed by those who have constant access to tbe records would alone be suffioient, aside from higher considerations, to prevent them from perpetrating a fraud npon the pub? lio. The figures given should be parti? cularly studied by Liberal speakers throughout the country, as well as by the people themselves. With them the months of the Radical orators oan be readily olosed. They have been claim? ing, with an effrontery borrowed from Mr* Bontwell, that the present Adminis? tration has been a etriotly economical one, and bas aohioved finanoial successes in the management of onr immense bonded debt whioh are unparalleled. When it appears that the frauds and rob? beries committed by it are unparalleled, it is likely their tana will be changed. [Louisville Courier-Journal. HEAVY RAIN-CROPS.-On Thursday ?vening last, a heavy rain set in at this place and continued with great violence until Friday noon. We learn that it did great damage to the oorn on the Creek bottoms. In many of these bottoms the corn was completely destroyed. The dams at Beaty's and Munroe's mills were washed away. Mr. Beaty had just com? pleted ropairing his dam, whioh was bad? ly injured a few weeks ago. We are never disposed to over-esti? mate a growing crop, but we honestly believe, from what we see and hear, that the present cotton crop of Union pro? mises to be almost equal to that of 1870, while the oorn orop is much better. As a friend said to ns last week, "in many places the oorn is as good as it is possi? ble for the land JLO^make it." [Union Times.

A RICH SPECIMEN.-The Cul poper Ob? server publishes a verbatim letter from a fellow named Jordan P. Wiggin, (Jordan Pig Wiggin, we suppose,) to an ac? quaintance in the North. The following is an extract: - "The Southern people aro very Friendly till they get your money, and then it is the damb junky, the minister of tho Gospel say it is no harm to call your wife and obildren God damb yankies. I tried as bard as uny body to get this cownty settled np, but it was no youse, I got 7 families from tba nortbe to come and settel.

I This J. Pig Wiggin is in the post1 office at Culpeper C. H., and the Ob? server states in no mutilated terms, what he is, and confidently calls on Capt. Mc Nulty, the postmaster, as a Northern I gentleman, and gallant soldier to refute his slander, and remove his carcass. WHAT THE CUBAN REVOLUTION HAS COST SPAIN.-A Spanish paper gives the following summary of the losses sus? tained by the Spanish army in Cuba from tho commencement of the insur? rection down to February of the present year: Deaths upon the battle-fields, or from the results of wounds-6 general officerp, 110 officers, and 1,677 soldiers.

Scott for 400 stands of arms, with ammunition and other parapherna? lia necessary to arm and equip four com? panies of colored militia in this County. Why this call for arms, at this time, wo cannot conceive; unless Mobley wishes to see re-enacted tho bloody scenes of 1870. We cannot think that Governor Scott will comply with Mobley's request. [Union Times. Two colored men, who, in company with a nnmber of others, whipped an? other colored man and cut off ono of his I ears, on tbe 16th of July last, in Sumter | County, have been arrested, and eaob bound over in the sum of $2,000 for their appearance for trial at the next term of the United States Circuit Court.

COTTON STATISTICS.-Tho exportation of cotton from the United States into Great Britain amounted to 6,395,015 hundred weight in 1870, and to 9,273,910 hundred weight in 1871, being an in? crease in the latter year of 2,878,865 hundred weight. This advance has very nearly placed tho United States in tho position occupied in I860, when this oouutry sent 9,963,319 hundred weight of cotton to Great Britain. By the large exportations of 1870 and 1871, amounting to 15,668,955 hnndred weight, the United States has entirely distanced British India, wbiob, during the two years, sent 6,898,906 hnndred weight to Great Britain. The supplies from coun? tries whioh during the rebellion sent cotton to Great Britain have almost en? tirely failed. Thus Turkey, whioh, in 1861, sent only 600 weight, had in 1865 increased the quantity to 225,000 hun? dred weight, while in 1867 the exporta? tions of cotton from that country only reached 23,000 hundred weight. Mr. Bernard, the new Nicaraguan minister, has been at Washington for several weeks, patiently waiting for tho President to come and re?oive his cre? dentials. Ile might as woll rent a house und make up his mind to stay a while. Tho doleful Plantamour, says a West orn paper, who predicted tho destruction of the earth in August by a comot, has como ont for Grant. If the earth docs not como to an end, bu wauts the next bost calamity. Two men recently died in Baltimore, with great-graud-children older than their youngest children. POLITICAL D?TTINGS.-Naat's nasty cartoons are designed to be specially se? vere on Greeley and the Germans. A late one in Harper's Weekly represents a German's heud on tho body of an ass, with tho words underneath, "What wo most fear is the Dutchman's heels." "He waB unburned of his poor old mother and father, becuuse we were in poverty, and has never written ns a letter since ho changed his name to Henry Wilson," said Senator Wilson's mother, when asked to explain his conduct. Gen. Grant is away upon a Northern furlough. Publio dutios weigh BO heavily upou him that his people are kindly dis? posed to voto him u furlough for tho rest of his lifo. If tho North Caroliua election does uot settle Mr. Thomas Settle, the Chi? cago Tribune does, by pointing out tho little circumstance that he waa appointed Minister to Peru in 1871, and drew his salary of ?10,000 without leaving home. A very proper person to preside over the Philadelphia Convention. Seventy-seven Liberal Republicans of Hillsdale County, Mich., all of whom eupportod Grant in 1868, have issued a call for a County Convention at Hills? dale, to-day, to select delegates to the State Convention which meets at Grand Rapids on Thursday. King Amadeus is following the exam? ple of President Grant in going about the country and exhibiting himself to his subjects. But ia one respeot he bet? ters the example. He is a teetotaler. And also in another respeot; he has can? celled the sentence passed upon several political offenders. If President Grant would go through the Southern States, and restore all the wbite citizens to all their rights and standing, and pack off his miserable carpet-bag governments, he would be welcomed as a deliverer and loved asa father. But your "man on horseback" don't do snob things. [Tilton's Ooldea Age. Wm. M. Coleman, who was elected by the Bepublicans of North Carolina At? torney-General of that State in 1868, has just declared for Greeley, and his example will be followed by hundreds of the most prominent citizens. A promi? nent North Carolina Liberal says that there is no donbt of a largo Greeley ma? jority in that State in November. Mr. Henry Wilson thinks it passing strange that Liberals eau forgive all the misdeeds of Democrats and rebels, but cannot forgive any of the trifling little mistakes and misdoings of Gen. Grant. There is nothing particularly wonderful about the matter. The prodigal was not forgiven until he repented and came homo. Let Gen. Grant reform, turn his incompetent and dishonest relatives out of ofhee, dismiss every unworthy and incompetent officer, break up the rings which are ruining the nation, see that every fraud is punished, aud the Govern? ment is administered for the nation's benefit instead of his own, and then do as these rebels and Dem?crata have done, pat himself squarely upon the Cincin? nati platform and declare himself for Mr. Greeley, and the country will for? give his manifold offences, and honor him for his last viotory and his greatest, the victory over himself. [Theodore Tilton's Golden Age. The worst fire-eaters, the hardest slave? owners, the most cruel slave-drivers, and the politicians who made the most trou blo in the South before the war, were Northern men. The most scurrilous pupers printed in the South, like the Newberu Times, are edited by Northero adventurers. Considering these facts in connection with the faot that the car? pet-bag Governments have robbed the South of about ?200,000,000, it is aot wouderfal that Southerners look some? what coldly upon an increase of North? ern immigration. Where is the North? ern community that would welcome the population of Blackwell's Island, and put a premium upon immigrants from Sing Sing? Try the broth yourself be? fore complainiug that the Southern sto? mach, does not take kindly to toad soup. [Tilton's Golden Age. TUE Ano CM EMT FOE TUE COLORED MAN. Tho persuasive style in which the colored people in the Southern States are talked to by their leaders and guides is exem? plified ia an address to them at Tallahas? see, Florida, by an "Hon. Mr. Willis," who told them that "Greeley was no more than an old, broken-down, one horse editor at best; that he stood no more chanoe than a stump-tail bull in fly-time; that he was always jawing and making speeches everywhere he went, like a talkative old woman; that be was an old hard-shell Democrat, and could not take the oath even if elected, conse? quently any colored man wonld be a fool to voto for him." An imposing ceremony was performed in Hartford, Conn., on Saturday. Miss Estelle Sarah Livingstone, of England, heretofore an Episcopalian, renounced her faith and professed the Jewish reli? gion, partly for the purpose of marrying Dr. Lonis J. Jordan, late of the Eng? lish army, bat uow of New York, and partly beoause it ?vas her oonviotion that judaism is the tras faith. Tho recent tour of Curl Schurz throngh Indiana is described by the Chicago Tri? bune as resembling the triumphal maroh of some conquering hero. Entire popu? lations of towns turned out to greet the eloquent German, and Evansville wel? comed him with a couoourso of 15,000 poople, flags, banners, music, ?fcc. Two Troy millinors, who bated each other as only rival milliners can hate, Btartcd for Europe, eaoh flattering her? self that the other was ignorant of her iutentiou, and found themselves the oc? cupants of tho same stato-room on the steamer. The way they avoided each other was a study for a philosopher. FATAL ACCIDENT.-From the Savannah Advertiser we learn that the engine Flo? rida, at Station No. 1, on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, attached to a lumber train, exploded her boiler on Wednesday afternoon, fatally wounding a gentleman named John M. Hucks, who was passing the engine at the time, and scalding Mr. Thomas Rahn, the engineer, and the fireman. The deceased, wo learn, wus a nativo of South Carolina, and before the war was engaged as an overseor in that State. He has been living near Station No. 1 for some time, where he kopt a small store. TURNING THE TABLES.-The Richmond (Ya.) Dispatch, noticing tho faot that tho English Government had placed at the disposal of the farmers of Oxfordshire its idle soldiers to help harvest tho crops, in consequence of the agricultural labor? ers having **6truok," Bays: "In this country, nuder Mr. Grant, the farmers are 'placed at the disposal of the soldiers, ' who aro actively engaged in arresting them whilewio Government Judges sentenoo them to Albany." DASTABDLY ASSASSINATION.-A corres? pondent of the Atlanta Sun writes from Covington, Ga., that on the night of the 20th, some cowardly assassin shot and killed Capt. Wm. Hardoman, of that County. Capt. H. was sitting on his door steps, bathing his feet, when tho gnu was fired. Some persons who live near tho home of Capt. H. are strongly suspicioned. Large numbers of Dublin poor aro perishing for want of bread, in conse? quence of a strike of the journeymen bakers for higher wages. The most in? tense excitement prevails, and hundreds of women are in the streets inolined to riot, and pouring imprecations upon tho heads of the master bakers. Attacks npon the shops are feared. A RATTLES.-One of the trains on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad on Wednesday, ran over a rattle-snake, and divided him-having thirteen well formed buttons-his tail on one side of the traok and his head and body on the other.
