The following ure extracts from his
speeches: "Had ho been a Southerner,
during the war, educated as Southerners
were, he might have acted as they did;
but being a Northerner, he hud been
one of the first to advocate peace when
danger had passed, though not without
scouring the liberties of tho blacks."
"There ure white men still disfranchised,
and for them he now pleaded." "We
had been generous and just to tho blacks;
let us at least he just to the whites." "If
the people only kuew tho whole truth
about oarput-bag goveruments, there
would be no doubt of tho result of this
canvass." "The South had greatly
Binned, but greatly suffered and repent?
ed, and should be forgiven." "The
robbers of South Caroliaa would be on a
dead race out of that State two days
after they heard a new Goverumeut was
cleated against them." "When he went
bail for Jeff. Davis, hi? action was not
for the mau; it was au overture to the
whole Southern people. Millions of
men felt that act of kindness to their sec?
tion. Eor their sake, he deemed it wise
to da as he did." "Men say I shall he
defeatedv but I cannot be defeated; J
may not succeed as a candidate, but tin.
effort I am making to bring the people
into more trusting relations with uaoli
other cannot fail; it must succeed."

Tj?B LETTEB OF Ex Gbv, CURTIN.-Ex
Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, in bis
lotter announcing bin support of Hon.
Churles B. Buckalow, D?mocratie nomi?
nee for Governor, against Hartranft, tbe
nominee of tbe Republican party of tbut
State, wbilo non committal ou tbe Presi?
dential question, is sharp and severe
upon the subject of corruption in poli?
tics, especially iu Pennsylvania. He
says:
The bud rule that has wholly compass?
ed the ohanuols of political administra?
tive authority in Pennsylvania is not of
receut creation. It wus the tireless but
impotent power that embarrassed tho
action of the government, State and Na?
tional, during the dark days of civil wur,
and steadily ntruggled to gather advance?
ment and gain from the bitter sorrows of
the people.
Six years ago it attainod control in our
Stato. How it was achieved is remem?
bered with humiliation by all. Why it
was sought und wo.u our subsequent his?
tory painfully demonstrates.
The Republican organization has made
its name illustrious in maintaining the
unity of tho States and redeeming a con?
tinent to freedom. It was seized in con?
tempt of tho will of the people, and its
victories perverted to licensed wroug.
I need not recite how, nuder au honor?
ed name aud flag, it has created wide?
spread, indeed, almost uuiversal distrust
of authority, aud made honest meu de?
spair of integrity iu legislation, m elec?
tions, in conferring legislative honors,
and oven in the administration of public
j usticc.
These terrible aud steadily-growiug
events iu our political rule have made
the people demand the right to resumo
their sovereignty, to make new safe?
guards for themselves, but if the pro?
posed convoution is to effect thorough
reform, it must bo aided, not hindered,
by the vast power of the Executive and
other important State officials. If Mr.
Buckalow shall be defeated aud a new
lease of authority thus conferred upon
tho despotic control that has long mis?
ruled the commonwealth, it will he mar?
velous indeed if the convention chosen
in the partisan strife of a national con?
test can afford auy substantial relief or
protection to tho people. If Pennsylva?
nia is to be restored to purity, the Go?
vernment iu all its departments, as well
as the convention, must harmonize fully
uud earnestly iu the work of regenera?
tion.
Mr. Buckalew's confessed integrity and
consistent devotiou tu reform duriug
many yeurs of official service, gives tho
best possible guarantees of honest ad?
ministration and complete restraints
upon corrupt or reckless authority, and
his election seems to be demanded by
every consideration of individual man?
hood and fidelity to the honor aud ad
vauccmout of tho Stute. If, as is
claimed by desperate leaders iu Pennsyl?
vania, to regenerate our State in Octo- ,
ber will affect tho national contest, a
cause thus to be eudaugererl must bo
wanting iu the most essential attributes
of popular confidence.
Actuated solely by a sense of duty to a j
people whose devotion in time past fur- .
nishes the most grateful memori?n of my
life, I Bhall voto in October for honest
government in our commonwealth, and
meet tho Presidential issue, when it ,
comes before tho people, in accordance ,
with my long-settled convictions. I can?
not a fiord to sacrifice a great contest for
constitutional, legislative and adminis?
trative reform, because a Presidential
election is pending. To yield the ques?
tion would give fresh victories for mis
rulo, and muke tho effort for just fonda
mental restraints either measurably or
wholly abortive. ?
GREELEY'S CHANCES BRIGHT AND STILL '
BRIGHTENING NORTHWARD. -A gentleman
of observation and intelligence, writing
under date of Hartford, Connecticut,
September 22, thus expresses himself iu '
a political sense:
In refereuce to political matters, I feel
considerably encouraged, so far as I have '
proceeded. In New York almost every?
body is for Greeley. I visited tho head?
quarters in New York, of both tho Gree?
ley and D?mocratie Committees, and
had quite an iuteresting interview with
the Hon. Augustus Schell and Hon. | '
Ethan Allen. They both spoke very
hopeful of tho situatiou at present, aud
expressed tho conviction that it would '
continue to improve as the time of elec?
tion approached.
Whilst iu New London, on Friday, I
conversed with sevorul old and promi?
nent citizens of tho place, who are like?
wise confident of the success of Mr.
Greeley, aud express warm sympathies
for tho South generally, and especially
for South Caroliua, after I told them of
the wrongs we aro now suffering, and
hnvo suffered since tho oloso of the wa-.
To bo brief, I found but one Grant mau
in New London, and he was a Custom
House officer. A? soon as he told me
ho was in the Custom House I excused
him for his ardor for Graut. I find the
same state of things here. All are hope?
ful that the Stato will go for Greeley, by
a email majority, at least.

THE STRONGEST MAN-OF-WAR AFLOAT.
Tho Loudon Daily News' speoial corres?
pondent at St. Petersburg, writing on
tbe 2Stb ult., says: Yesterday tho sea?
going turret ship Peter the Great was
launched from the Admiralty dock-yard.
Tho vessel recoived its name from the
Grand Duke Constantine, in the pre?
sence of a great concourso of people. In
a few days she will be lifted into a float?
ing dook, which will bo towed, with its
enormous burden, over the shullows to
Croustadt, where the engines will be
iitt ml, the ship's sides and turret sheathed
with massive plates, tho fuur great steel
oannou shipped, aud iu less tbun a year's
time Itussiu will have at sea by far tho
most powerful man-of-war yet built. The
vessel has been designed by Admirul
Popoff. His ship difiera, in many re?
spects, from the American and English
turret ships. The Peler the Great is
329 feet 8 inches in length between per?
pendiculars. Her greatest outside
breadth is 63 feet. The builder's mea?
surement is 5.352 tons, and tho displace?
ment with coal, stores, and water in the
boilers will be 9,6(35 tous, ut a moan
draught of 23 feet 9 inches. The plateB
ou the ship's sides and raised building
amidships vary from 12 to l l iuches, aud
the u.-mor-plate protects the ship to a
depth of 6 iuches below tho water line.
Tho vessel has no spur, but tho upright
stem is heavily plated aud of enormous
streugth. Mauy sailors uro of tho opi
uiou that the spur may be a source of
danger to the vessel fitted with it, and
that the strong straight stem of tho
Peter the Great will deliver a most effect?
ive blow, with little or no risk to her?
self. The shin has two large turrets,
which are plated with 16 inches of iron,
in two thicknesses, of 14 und 2 inches,
She has no masts, but depends eutirelj
on her engines.
Poon MEXICO -Tho death of Juure;
appears lo have had little effect iu calm
iug the turbulence which bas bccomi
apparently chronic and incurable ii
Mexico. This fact shows how false wai
the statement of the revolutionist ieud
ers, made ut the outbreak of the r?volu
tiou, that they were in revolt onl;
against Juurez, and that the elevation o
Tejada to the Presidency would sutisf;
them. The truth is that these Mexicai
revolutionary bands are for the most par
merely predatory hordes. They are s
many highwaymen. Their object is th
levying of tribute. They are us totall
devoid of patriotism as they are of ren
bravery. Ostensibly fighting under th
banner of Tejada, or Diaz, they aro i
reality detached parties of free-bootei
aud robbers, from whom tho unprotecl
ed peasants of the country, as well a
the mei chants of the towns, can expec
uothiug but plumier and outrage. Thor
can be, eventually, but one result froi
this state of affairs. These outlyin
Northern districts, too far from tl
capital to be easily reached, and tc
thinly settled and too mountainous tot
easily subdued, will fall ultimately inl
the hands of the United States, upc
whose border mauy of them lie, and I
whoso inhabitants they are a perpetu
source of annoyance.

TnE MILITARY SYSTEM OP PRUSSIA.
There is another and a darker side to the
military glory of Prussiu. The glittering
tinsel of parade, the beating drums, the
waviug flags, tho bedizened oflloers, are
a spirited show, but tho pleased and ap?
plauding spectaturs have only soon the
play before, tho curtain-a glorious pa?
geant marching across tho boards. Be?
hind tho scenes, ere yet tho curtain bas
riseu, tho trugedies arc often played to
fewer spectators and in more obscure
theatres. Oue poor mao, Herman Na?
gel, has just committed suicide iu Eng?
land, rather than go hack to Prussia to
conscription and a military service
wherein tho reoruit is subjected to pun?
ishment for tho slightest offence. Oon
ilncmunt fura whole week, iu total dark
ness, with nothing to Hu down upon but
the bare floor, is common. To suspoud
the offender by tho thumbs is by no
means raro. Ono of the last nets of the
present Reichstag was to reject a motion
for the abolition of this last brutality.
Further than chis, ut this moment, whole
districts of Germany are being rapidly
depopulated; there are villages left with?
out a Bingle inhabitant; in fact, so seri?
ous is the evil that tho Government is
said to'bo meditating the most energetic
measures for its suppression. Thou?
sands are flying from a country iu which,
however great may be its prestige
abroad, tho citizen has virtually no
rights, aud the most vexations obliga?
tions. Modern Prussia consists, in fact,
of an immeuso army and an immense
bureauocrucy, with the ordinary civilian
running the gauntlet between the two.
That is the statement of the other 6ide
of Prussian aggrandizement made by its
opponents. Though exaggerated, tbore
is probably a great deal of truth in it.
DEATH OF SENATOR GARRETT DAVIS.
Senator Garrett Davis, as has been
stated, died ut his Kentucky home on
Suudny. He was born iu that Stato in
1801, and while yet a boy, was employed
ns a writor for tho Oouuty and Ciranit
Courts of tho District. Beginning in
1833, be was for three successive terms
elected to the State Legislature; from
1839 to 1847, he was in the lower House
of Congress, and since 1861 ho had rep- ;
resented bis native State in tho United
States Senate. His second term in that
body would have expired on the 4th of
March uext. Mr. Davis was originally
a Whig, aud was one of the most inti?
mate personal and political friends of
Henry Clay. At the outbreak of the
war, ho sided with the South, and was
one of its few advocates on tho floor of
tho Senate. An upright and amiable
gentleman, holding fast to the land?
marks of the past us his guides for the
present, and thoroughly earnest iu ad?
vocating such views in Congress ia the
face of un overwhelming majority, Mr.
Davis will leave behind him the memo?
ries of an honorable public life.
