commnsm:s;ix Thursday Morning. August 13,1874. Fraudulent Boada of Che Southern States. We learn from the St. Louis Republi? can that the Arkansas State Conven? tion is debating the question of repu? diating the bonds, about $9.000,000 in amount, authorized by the Legislature while- onder control of the Republi? cans, to bo iesped; \? Certain rajlrpad compajojie^jTJie^ that had' liat complied with the condi? tions. . What amount has been ieaned and pat on.the market wo do .not know; but it is almost certain that all will be disowned oh the ground of fraud. This ths people demand, and the Convention will comply with the popular wish. The issue of these bonds by the Republican offioiala was marked by frauds similar to those practiced by the Bullock government in Georgia. Iu one oaso, it is stated, the railroad company built a section of ten miles, drew the bonds thereon, took up the rails and relaid them on the next section, and drew another in? stallment of bonds, and so oa, till its whole quota of bonds had boon drawn, and no road built?the venal State authorities conniving at aud probably participating in the fraud. In some instances, the bonds were sold for twenty cents on the dollar, the State receiving no consideration for them whatever. The Republican makes the following, comments on the proposed repudiation by Arkansas of the fraud? ulent bonds issued while the State was in the bands of the Radical plomderers: "Tho repudiation of these bonds by the State of Arkansas is very unfortu? nate; we do not know that it is wise and just, fiat it is another example of the inexorable disaster in which the1 Radical governments in the South end. Repudiation in Georgia, repudi? ation in South Carolina, repudiation in North Carolina, repudiation in Ar? kansas, and a threatened insolvency in Tennessee, are the dismal residuum of the reconstruction rale in those States; and we have no reason to hope that the process is ended yet" People who parohase stolen pro? perty, knowing it to be stolen, have no right to complain when the law re? turns ' it to the rightful owner, and punishes the receiver and the thief. When the governments of the South were wrested from the intelligent and lawful custodians appointed by the people to administer them, they fell into the hands of . adventurers and | plunderers, who, under the specious 1 pretexts'of progress and internal im? provement, involved the Southern States in tho wildest and most extrava? gant undertakings. Their purpose was to onrioh themselves and iuvolvo the people id' irretrievable flnauoial ruin. No sane man ban ever expeot. tbo tax? payers of South Carolina, for instance, to pay the fraudulent bonds ?Jan?d without tbosun?tiod of the people of1 the State. Call it repudiation or what yon please,, we.askit in ail candor, what have the h oh t'/p top q t; ty-h ql der a j of South Carolina?who are helpless aud powerless to protect t^onisolves, to re? press a wrong or .'assert a right? to do with the bonds 'issued by the mongrel government? There is no moral, obli? gation on,,their part to redeem one single dollar of the'millions of pro? mises issued in the name ot South Ca? rolina. These bonds and the bonds of other Southern, Statesij were sold-ot prices ranging from fifteen cents on tbo dollar and .upwards, bearing; in most oases, eight per cent;.1 interest. The purchasers, the Augusta Chronicle' and Sentinel justly asserts,'did not expect the property-holders to redeem them when the government reverted to their keeping. Our Governments have been iu the bands of robbers, who, not content with stealing everything they oould lay their hands on in the respective State Treasuries, have issued millions of promises to pay. The press .Warned the people of the North and of Europe that these bonds are fraudulent. Tho Government of the United States, which sustained the adventurers and plunderers in offioe in these Southern States, is responsible for the debts contracted. It is a settled principle in law, that Una -principal^ is 'always' responsible fo'r iha'olUoiftl 'aeja/oj hi? duly and ?wMfcMWjMjf agent,, The Governments la tV South after the war wer^tthS^eafdsakW)^ Federal QojMrMraf]i tiwyjwer?inau. gurated by the Opugrose of the United States and sustained by the adminis? tration, and:the PederaLGovernment is alone responsible for the unlawful acts committed by its proteges, as well as for all the bonds illegally ieeaed in defiance of the wishes of the property holders and oitizena of the Southern States. Olviu'RiaHTS -?The Cincinnati Com? mercial has a long leading editorial, in which it essays to show that Mr. Jub tioo ^rilfey hY reride?d a- ?Jedjjpioi* agalns?#be oo| stitufijifoflitj toE thf Civil l^jglite Bifl (of pourjBo, orjW ttabV BUutiflJly bo.) 89 d toy'prove that, the TOprrelioafa parl^'lH not pledged to the passage of tbat bill. It affirms that bardly a majority of the Republican lawywra of ? the country-bold that bill j to ho ooDStitutioual. The whole ten dency of the article is to relieve the Republican parly from" the odium of that bill of abominations, and to put the party upon a new took or traok. Last Week's Victories.?Not only I in North Carolina did victory pereh on the Conservative banner. In Ken j tacky, a Olerk of the Suprome Court was ohoBon by a mujorily of over 50,000. Tennessee also made a glori? ous exhibit in the local elections. And the city of Yioksbnrg gave a large De mooratio gain, sufficient to put the municipal government under the con? trol of white men. It would seem that when Conservative majorities com? mence raining, they pour. Let ns re? alize the flood. Horrible Negro Plot Discovered. A special despatoh to tho New Orleans Bulletin, dated New Iberia, August 7, I says: "A dreadful plot ot the negroes has {jest been discovered here to kill the j inhabitants and to sot fire to the resi? dences and plantations in the Parish of St. Martin. The fuots were dis I closed by a letter which was banded to a prominent white gentleman by a Republican, who vouches for the truth I of the statement it contains. The plan was to oommsnao killing and bnruing! I at the Lestrapes place, and oontinne their work of rapine and murder as far I as St. Martinsville. A recommenda? tion in made in the letter to set the I plantations on fire, in order to find where money could be found. The negroes were to keep for themselves the most beautiful women, and tbe parties who were to be killed were mentioned by name. As soon as the ] criminals ascertained tbat their horrid plans were discovered, they fled the Parish in hot baste. The greatest ex? citement prevails, and the people are thoroughly arou?ed and determined to discover and bring to punishment the villains who have meditated this dread? ful mossaore and pillage." A New System,?Four large aotton warehouses are being built near New York for the coming cotton crop. They j are ranged along the river front, aud will be connected with tbe docks by i the railroad tracks. The buildings are (of brick, and the space between tbe ; warehouses can be so arranged that the cotton can be repacked and rebaled under glass roofs in all weathers. The I storage capacity of eacb of tbe four warehouses now in oonree of oonstruo | tiou is about 15.000 bales, aud it is ex jpected that the buildings can all be ready in time for tbe new crop?about October. There is also room for tbe , erection of additional structures, with acapaoity of over 250,000 bales. The transportation' to and from the city I can be accomplished by lighters, and I vessels oan load tbeir cargoes at the ducks, thereby, eavjug.tho expense of cartage from the presses to the ship. Many of the pr .aont store-houses are sarroanded by inflammable buildings, but those warehouse* will be almost fire-proof and amply protected in ease of a conflagration. The Herald says: "If this place is selected," said a cot? ton broker, last evening, to: the re? porter, and it' is certainly suitable for tbe purpose, the ellocrwill db to revo? lutionize the cotton, trade. It will be a grand reform,' and, although some old fogies may etiok to their little (store-bouses in the middle of tbe city, most of the cotton morahants will cer? tainly send their cotton to these water fr?nt warehouses. You can say that the saving in thij city will be 0500,01)0, at tho very lowest." A Talk.?Lieut. Col. Davidaou, of the 10th Cavalry, bas furnished to the | General of the army a report of a talk with Asbobe and Asatny, of the Po nuotetbka bund of Comanohes, which is interesting as showing tho cause of the present hostilitity of tho Cornau cheB and other tribes. After some I talk, in which they inquired as to bow they were to be treated, Davidson asked the Indians what the Comanohes bad to complain of; what wore tbe .causes of this general hostility on the part of tbe Comanches, Kiowas I and Oheyennes. They replied, that the Comanches had nothing to complain of on the part of tbe Go? vernment agent or troops or whites, but tbat some two months ago a prophet arose amoDg tbem, who told them that be had bad ,an interview! with the Great Spirit, who said that the Oaddos, Wiohitas and other In-1 diarjs, who .were, adopting the white mode of life, were going down hill .fast in means and population, and the1 Comanohes would do the same, if they followed tho samp road;' and for them to be again the powerful nation they onoe were, was to go to war and kill off | all the white people thoy could. This, these two chiefs said, chimed in with the feelings and wishes ot the evil disposed of the nation, and the present war is the result. - There baa been a terrible gale off the coast of Aberdeenabire, Scotland. Hundroda of fishing boats are over? due, and it is feared many of tbem have been lost.

Iceland lies) between latitude. G3 degrees 125 mi? nutes and 6G degrees aud '30 min u tos North, uud longitudo 13 degrees 38 minutes and '2i degrees 40 minutea West. It is quite a remarkable islund, seeming uotbiug but a nest of volo.i uoea. It has no Btratitied rock of uuy kind, and is u simple muss of mnltnu mutter that had bubbled up out of the ocean and, after cooling off, bad taken on an Arctic suow-cap to "make it more binding." Tbo rugged grandeur of its soenery is very striking. Tbc clefts in the enormous beds of oucn fluid lava are of tbe most picturesque nud startling description. Its rivers are formed from the melting euows of tho mountains and are very numerous uud beautiful. The whole interior is u vast deBert, for tbu most part so ele? vated above tho level of tbo sea that the snows never melt. Surrouuding this desert and overlooking tbe sen, there is a belt of land on which there is plenty of vegetation for flocks of sheep aud herds of cattle, aud a popu? lation of 00,000 or 70,000 find a com? fortable subsistence, partly from their pustoral lifo and partly from limbing. They are a quiet, iudustrious uud cju tented people, und seem well capable of self-government. Who aue the DuKzuits??Homo of tbe leading papers of tho couutry mado singular blunders recently, in giving notice of a convention of 1)link? ers, held in Illinois. The Cincinnati' Tunes gives a brief sketch of their his? tory: The origin of tbe society, or, more properly, the church, dates buck to tbe Christian era, but the first congrega? tion organized in America was at Gor mantawn, Peun., in the yeur 1721. Tbey are a denomination of Baptists, and emigruted to this couutry from Germany, hence tho name, German Baptists, whioh is the proper name. The nick-name, Dunker, or Tuoder, is from the German word, Taufen, to dip. The Seventb-day Baptists origi? nated from this deuominatiou, about the year 1721), by Courud Beissel, at Epbrata, Penn. They wear a very plain but neat dress, beiug temperate iu that as well as in nil other things; as regards shaving, it is left optional with the members; but they are not! allowed to change tbe out of tho beard to follow the evor-chauging fashions. Tbo men and women do not live in sep irate bnbitutious, us tbey are not J confined to monasteries and nunneries, but, ou the cuntrary, are soattered over the land, from the Atlantic to tbe Paoiflo, and are more numerous than is generally supposed by thorn who have but little knowledge of tho sect, having over 1,500 ministers, with quite a large laity, (150,000, according to report of National Conference, held in Illinois;) and instead of marriage being disapproved of, as has been re? ported, it is held more sacred than it is by most other religious denomina? tions. The only case in which it is disallowed is when one or both of tho parties baa a husband or wife living, whether divorced or not. John Hay ban sung of the noble exploit of Jim Bludsoe, pilot of tbe Prairie Belle: "I'll hold her nozzle agin tho hank Till the last galoot's ashore." The bruve self-sacrifice of Charlie Ditt inau, who died at his post on tbe Pat. Rodgera last week, deserves to live iu story as a nobler act than tbnt other. When the fire was discovered, he promptly turned tho wheel so as to bead tho bout toward tbo Indiana sboro, but, to bis horror, he found tbat tbe rudder did not answer to the wheel. It was evident that the tiller rope had been cut or had burued through. So the boat was unmanage? able, and she slowly drifted npou a sand bar, somo distance from the shore, und the passengers and crew bud the water before tbcm ns their only refuge from tbo flimcs. Although bis efforts to govern tho boat were I fruitless, Dittmau seems still to have clung to the hope that tho rudder would again auswer to his will, und so stood at tbo wheel, steadfast and grand in his self-martyrdom, until the] hot flames licked up the frail pilot bouse, aud be perished with his bands tipou the wheel. A Singular Circumstance.?Several weeks ago, a family residing near Liberty .Mills, Orange County, Va., arose early in the morning, and pro pared breakfast, using the tea kettle in whioh to heat water for coffee. Tbe family drank of the coffee as usual, and without any injurious effects. To? ward noon some one in attempting to use the kettle for another purpose, fonnd in it a considerable sized black | snake boiled to death in the water which was used for the coffee in the1 morning. On this announcement there was oonsternation in the family for a short time, some vomiting and others trying to do so, bat failed. Strange to say, no one was otherwise injured.?Shenaniioah Valley Register. The total number of accidents on English railways for 1873, a report of whioh has been published for the year, was 247? being one more than the pre? vious year. Tbe total number of per? sons killed was 1,372, and of injured 3,110, whioh embraoe all killed and in? jured at crossings as well as servants and employees.

The Baltimore Sun ,eays: "A citizen of South Carolina, an old man, who is wholly disconnected with political life, writes to the New York Daily Bulletin a sad account of the 'overwhelming load of irresponsible depravity and ignorance which has crushed them to tbe earth.' The appeal he makes to the North to consider their case is most mournful and touching. He says 'it is simply awful to be com? pelled to live and roar children amid scenes of such political corruption, and profligacy,' and makes an affecting invocation to Northern magnanimity to ask what can be done to 'save what? ever is fair, lovely and of good report from extinction or a worse fate.' "All tbis social anarchy is the result of the political deviltry which North? ern politicians, seeking their selfish ends and the continued domination of their party, inflicted upon the South by what tbey called the polioy of re? construction, which, instead, was simply destruction." -? The Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad.?Tbe Charlotte (N. C.)
