CINCINNATI, September 21.-Whei
Greeley arrived at Newport, Kentucky
to-day, he spoke as follows:
CITIZENS OF NEWTOBT: There was i
time, and that not many years ago, whei
I would not have been welcomed to tu
soil of Ken tucky as I am to-day. Thor
was a time when Kentuckians did no
think of me as they do now, and I be
liovo it was because they did not under
stand me so well as they do now; for ii
the olden times I was an humble bu
zealous friend of Kentucky's nobles
statesman, Henry Clay. I loved,
trusted and followed that man for man;
years, and sore was my heart whan new
came that our fondest anticipations wer
blighted and he was not chosen Presi
dont. But what matters it? The fara
of Clay is world-wide, and he was revet e
and loved by millions of his countrymei
and will be for generations to oom?
What matters it whether he filled on
office or another, or no office? The offic
does not make the man; it is men lib
those who dignify and glorify office.
He concluded as follows: Many timi
I was told, fifteen or twenty years ag<
that you can come down South and nt
body will hurt you. I said why shoul
anybody hurt me? There was never
moment I wished ill to the South, an
never sought to do them harm. WI:
should you tell me I will be protected i
the South? I had never been there, bi
cause my duties did not call me thor
.bot I felt certain always that no gent!
man ot the South would lay a hand upc
me, and I did not believe they would 1
blackguards do it. They were talkii
as if it was bravery to lot me pa
through; that has passed away, folio'
citizens. You may have been one of tl
most effective Confederate soldiers of tl
late straggle, and yon may travel all ov
this country, and I think no one, exce
a very low, vnlgar person will offer y<
any insult. I traveled to the farthc
State South-Texas-last year, and
was everywhere well received. I thii
every Northern man who went Son
minding his own business, and givii
nobody cause of offence, was treat
perhaps as well as I was, and bin pera
and property were just ns sacredly :
spected as minc were. Now, then,
have opened up a new era in this coe
try; there was a time when it was not
that every Northern man, whatever 1
principles, could travel through t
South. Now they can do so, and 11
glad of it. Think no more of our 1
umphs in the late struggle; lot ns rejo
to-day that these triumphs have tend
to produce good to tho whole An
rican people. There wore actua
men in the North who believed, wi:
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, tl
the Southern people, as a people,
joiced in that assassination. I am si
it was not so; but here ia tho bia
bloody deed done, and the whole peoj
suffered for it. It was for a long ti
impossible to make a large portion
that elass believe that that asBassinati
was not the work of the whole Confe
rate people. There was injustice d<
there through prejudice, through y
sion. We must try to dispel that pre
dice and that passion. We must try
make the whole people feel that
American name is dear to ns all, t
even in our straggles we were fries
We did not tear and rend each oil
we did not destroy; prisoners were
unjustly treated; but I really believe
people on both sides meant to ti
them with humanity, so far as t
oonld do so, and, when oruelties t
place, they were not understood tc
approved by the great body of the \
pie, North or South. Now, then, le
all resolve that wo shall be nearei
eaoh other next year than this. |

LiOUiaviLi/E, September 23.- Gree
in addressing himself to the ooh
question, said: FELIIOW-CITIZBNS: If
movement should prevail, as I trui
will prevail, we will sweep away all
refuse of lies in three months. Wo
say to tho colored men, we proffer
nothing except the proteotion of the
laws; tho same for yon as for ns. Yon
have your living to earn as well as we
have. You will have to use all your
abilities, all your energies, all your facul?
ties, and make tbe mont of them you
oan. The laws do not favor you; they
will thoroughly protect you; aud iu three
months, if we succeed, the colored peo?
ple will be so disabused, that the same
mon can never doceive them again. But
suppose we fail, and we may fail; if tho
colored men did not believe the power
wits against us; that money was against
us; if they did not realize that the army,
the navy aud the 100,000 office-holders
were all banded against us, iu foroo,
whioh they believe wo cannot overcome,
thoy certainly would not be so universally
hostile to us. They think we cannot
succeed, and they want to be upon the
winning Bide; that is part of it. But
they are also deluded in regard to our
purposes. Wo Bay we aro not your ene?
mies; we will not be your oppressors.
Though you have done us injustice, we
will try, as well as we can, to have your
children educated aud enlightened, BO
that the mistakes you have made cannot
bo made over and over again.

SUMTER, S. C., September 21.
To-day the Monos pow-wow took place
here. The crowd was a comparatively
small one, notwithstanding a barbacu?
and brass band had been provided, and
runners had been busy for a week sum?
moning the faithful to attend. Small as
it was, it was very inharmonious; and
Sam. Lee, who was not allowed on tho
stand, made himself constantly beard
from his placo in tho crowd, and had
good backing. He worriod the regulars
no little, and eau floor Moses easily with
his poiut-blank charges and proofs. The
party here is all in a muddle, nnd eaeh
wing will have its full State and County
tickets iu tbe field. Judge Green, who
representa tho bolters, or truo Republi?
cans, is very popular among both white
aud black, and bis ticket will be such an
improvomont on tho other that it will be
largely supported by both races, and has
every chance of being elected. Moses
gets money from somewhere and spends
it like water on bis election. If eleoted,
ho will go into office with a flattened
pocket book, and tax payers will have to
?fill it. TRUE.

does Mr. O'Conor's candidacy amount
to? He will no more be regarded as a
Demoorat in this race than will U. S.

race at all. Every trne Demoorat will
support the unanimous ohoioe of his

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-Harmony in the
marriod state is the very first object to
bo aimed at. Nothing can 'preservo af?
fection uninterrupted but a firm resolu?
tion iu each to consider the lovo of the
other ns of more value than any object
whatever, ou which a wish has beeu
fixed. How light, in fact, is the sacri?
fice of any other wish weighed against
tho affections of ono with whom we are
to pass our life! And though opposition
in a singlo instance will hardly of itself
produco alienation, yet every oue has
his pouch into which all these opposi?
tions aro put, and while that is filliug,
the nlienatiou is insensibly going OD,
und when filled is complete. It would
puzzle either to say why; because no
ono difference has been marked enough
to produce a serious effect by itself. But
he finds his uffoction wearied out by a
constant stream of checks and obstacles.
Other sources of discontent, very com?
mon, indeed, are the cross purposes of
husband and wife, in common conversa?
tion; a disposition to criticise and ques?
tion whatever the othor says-a desire
always to demonstrate and make him
feel himself wrong, especially in sympa?
thy. Nothing is so goading. Much
better, therefore, if our companion views
a thing in a different light from what we
do, to leavo him in quiet possession of
his view. What is tho nso of rectifying
him if tue thing be unimportant? And
if important, let it pass for tho present,
and wait a softer moment and moro con?
ciliatory occasion of revising tho subject
together. It is wonderful how many
persons are rondercd unhappy by inat?
tention to the rule of prudence.

AN OFFICER THAT "DRINKS TOO MUCH."
AU amusing letter was received at the
pension agency in this city, yesterday,
from a female peu-jionor in South Caroli?
na, who, iu executing her paper, had oc?
casion to call upuu tho Clerk of the
Court, whom she found iu a condition
that would lead Senator Wilson to say
"he drinkB too much." She, however,
seoured the certificate, but tho chirogra?
phy boro such palpable evidence of ine?
briation that, fearful of its passing at the
agency, she addressed the following note
to Col. Cox, the pension agent:
DEAR SIR: Please pardon me for saying
that our Clerk of Court is a little intoxi?
cated to-day, and if he has commit er?
rors I hope you will pardon aud send
cheek without further trouble.

"Wbat a nuisance!" exclaimed a gentle?
man at a conoert, as a young fop in frout

A MECHANICAL TOY.-Among the in?
ventions recently patented at the Patent
Office is a mechanical toy, regarding
which the inventor eau say, with proba?
bly more truth thau the patent medicine
man, that "the children cry for it." The
invention consists of au ordinary four
wheel velocipede, like thoso in which
children are daily seen propelling them?
selves along the sido-wulks. In front of
this, and supported by a pair of fixed
shafts or thills, is the figure of a man or
boy, ready to be dressed in any suit or
livery to please the taste of the owner.
To tho heels of this supposititious motive
power are attached, by a pivot, rods
leading to and connected with projec?
tions from the spokes of the wheels of
tho vehicle, by which a orank-motion is
obtained, and so arrauged that whilo one
goes forward, the other remains nearly
stationary, so as to give to the figure the
appearance of walking and drawing the
vehicle, which, in fact, ia propelled in
the ordinary way, giving motion to the
figure. Parents may expect a draft upon
their purses about the holidays for one
of those comical vehicles.
EIUHT AT A BIRTH.-The Cincinnati
Lancet and Observer gives publicity to the
following, which is the most remarkable
event that ever transpired in this or any
other country, in the way of births:
On the 21st of August, Mrs. Timothy
Bradleo, of Trumbull County, gave birth
to eight children-three boys and five
girls. They are all living and nre healthy,
but are quite small. Mr. Bradlee waa
married six years ago to Eaenoe Mowe
ry, who weighed 272 pounds on the day
of her marriage. She baa given birth to
fmr> nnt?. "f 4--1__:_ui-_
a .. u fruit u.* irniun, UUU UUIT OlgUU UIUID)
making twelvo children in six years.
Mrs. Bradlee was a triplet, her mother
and father both being twiuB, and her
grand-mother the mother of five pair of
twins.
A Washington lotter says: "Official
advices received here lay good founda?
tions for trouble between the United
States and Mexico. Notwithstanding
the protest of this Government against
the outrages on the Mexican border, on
tho life and property of citizens of this
country, and the appeals to join in some
co-operative policy to secure a safer con
? dition of affairs on the Rio Grande, the
Mexican authorities not only are indif?
ferent to the representations of the Go?
vernment, but apparently encourage
theda offensive operations. The Mexi?
cans havo also broken faith on the joint
claims commission, which has beeu in
session hero, aud it is probable that all
the work thus far accomplished will
amount to nothing."
Tho Concord (N. H.) Patriot says:
Liberal men in New Hampshire and Con?
necticut are specially requested to note
that tho demand is just now so great for
voted by the Radical party, that prices
must rise. First clasa influential men
aro good for 81,000 each; second qnality
ought to bring nil the way from $500 to
$750, and middling and common, from
$100 upwards, and not a cent less. The
Radicals have their hauds in Uncle
Sam's pocket and are able to pay. Make
them do so in all cases where they at?
tempt to make merchandise, and then
vota as you please; that's tho way to
treat the scoundrels.
In an article from tho Columbia PH?
NIX, copied in yesterday's Republican, it
waa stated that the pay certificates issued
by Franklin J. Moues, Jr., were "coun?
tersigned" by Mr. A. O. Jones, Clerk of
the House of Representatives. We are
happy to be able to state that it was not
within the province of Mr. Jones to
"countersign" the pay certificates, but
simply to "attest" the signature of the
Speaker. All that the clerk had to do
with it was to issue the pay certificates
upon the order of the Speaker.

in Springfield, Ul., that in all parts of
the State which ho has visited the ut?
most enthusiasm continues in tho inter?
ests of reform, and that there can bo
but little doubt, if tho present sustained
efi'orts are continued, of the success of
tho Liberal tickot iu this State by a
large majority. Senator Trumbull has
traversed the State more thoroughly
than any other public man, and speaks
from the knowledge elicited by actual
observation nnd from absolute facts.
Thc Radical soldiers and Bailors who
met in, convention at Pittsburg the other
day, said in one of their resolutions: "Wo
point to the condition of the country in
all its relations, foreign and domestio,
for tho proof that its laws are well ad?
ministered, and its honor maintained."
Thu condition of the country, and par?
ticularly at the South, hardly furnishes
such proof, and even the Radical Sena?
tors admitted last winter, that Grant had
committed a serions mist ke in his
foreign policy.
Radical papers talk of Speaker Blaine^
denial of the Credit Mobilier bribe as if
it satisfactorily Nettled the charge, but
this is a mistake. Blaine has entered his
plea of not guilty, the samo as any other
rogue would do in the fae? of trial and
certain conviction.
Reports from Long Branch say that
Grant is in unusually good spirits. This
is something of an improvement; for
heretofore, generally, unusually good
spirits have been in him-and in large
quantities, too.
A yoong man hunting turkeys at Ka?
lamazoo, Mich., thought he saw ono in
the grass, but a ooroner's jury decided it
was the head of the farmer who owned
the premises, and was taking a nap.
Tho New Orleans Picayune an?
nounces to its readers the accession of
Col. R. Barnwell Rhett, Jr., to the
editorship of that paper.
A French soldier at Lyons blew out
hts brains because his comrades jeered
ut him for spoiling their dinner, which
he had cooked.
A writor in the Nowark Advertiser dis?
cusses tho feasibility of bridging the At?
lantic Ocean.
OD the night of the 20th, a Swede was
ron over and killed on the Georgia Rail?
road, near Berzelia. On the same day,
a lady and her dog were ran over and
killed on the North Carolina Railroad,
near Salisbury.
A Western journal tLum alludes to an
editorial neighbor: "He was too weak to
'eat crow,' but seven columns of Govern?
ment advertisements each week make
bim relish 'bull pup* wonderfully."
20,000 voters in North Carolina did
not vote in the late election, says the
