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.

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.

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."

"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

yankies. I tried as bard as uny body to

I This J. Pig Wiggin is in the post1

he is, and confidently calls on Capt. Mc

THE MILITIA TO BE ARMED.-It is re?
ported here that Jt S. Mobley bas called
upon Gov. 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.

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

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,

[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.

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.

TURNING THE TABLES.-The Richmond
(Ya.) Dispatch, noticing tho faot that tho

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. The music that "chicken thief"
was capable of making can be imagined.
A pastor in one of the Cincinnati
ch arches preaches against lightning

one is defying the God of Heaven, while
the other is a refusal to trust Providence.
Mr. Greeley never said half as bad
about the Sooth as the Radical papers
used to say about Col. Mosby, but all of

Colonel is a very clever fellow. So notes
the Alexandria Gazette.
