If we are to form anv.alliances with those shrewd . .gdfitl eftien. who have heretofore, m&uipulated the Radical part}- in this State, let us at least lie able to .comprehend the solid advantages wjjwhVe are to derive,'from such alliances, and not bo misled by a myth'.r}" JJ&T the advocates of.* Jus measure show us how we are to gain Anything in the Senate by the cumulative vote, and how in the election of Govern And all other .Executive officers..' aEbe truth is, except, that we might get such a minority vote in th? House of Representatives as would prevent tho passage of measures requiring a two-thirds vote, we 1 can See "no practical advantage in their results. But it is not at all certain that the same result^ could not' be attained by a fair and-sqiiare-party rote. Indeed, we have uo sortfof dodbt of it. But, we wish to go into < the next State canvas to win the fight for the ; suntetnacv of honesty. decency, fair deal ing, retrenchment and reform. How is that to T)C Aoiie ? We admit it depends upon the colored people. They alone can change the goj^rumeut of this State for the better through the ballot box. They have experienced some of the evils of attempting to rule thaStyte without considering the interests 1 or hf$4ing the counsels of those who really comtitute the most important part of society. Perhaps they may be now inclined to hear thuae arguments which they spurned lastyear. If jfe Would gladly aid them in establishiug"Vtfclfer 'government. Put, any movement of this sort must come from them. Our peoplevwrll probably never again be induced to {ft to tliery,with overtures like those rejected, last, year. An good government, how- J ever, is our prime necessity, we doubt not 1 the acccptauce of any proposals coming from 1 tho ?$her side giviug promise of success.* 1 andtfjjK?ilxprinciples by wliich wc can stand. As fe these, there can be but little trouble, 1 ?- ?* j.1? 'xT.ii i I Since it is apparent mat tne nuuuuur j/cuiucracg^wili erect a platform on those questions 1 broadi*niougK for all reasonable men to stand 1 upoif/^lBtillj we do not sec, as yet, any signs 1 of that awakening of the colored people to ' the necossity of conciliation which must fornMte hhsts of any combinat ion between us. We <j|p not gjrently hope to accomplish a victory without suckoouibiuatiorv, but are willing, and prefer, to fight a square out and out Democratic party fight, to allowing the Radicals' to w%^k. into power without trouble. There is something hoalthy in a straggle for the righf^ewn when we are beaten; and, on the othef hand, a supine submission to wrong is ene r^at iug and -corrupting. We believe there should now be an organization of the Democratic party, complete and thorough. We aire willing to shape our policy to the views of a. jConvention of that party, properly organised'.. If that party should determine to mak#any compromises with the colored people from^mot.ves of State polity, we desire to or. nlfnrnnlivA of combination nuumib au M?W? to that of the cumulative vote, which contents itself .with a simple proportional numerical representation, and leaves no room for expansion of the party or the exercise of those powerswhicb are the fiuitg of intelligence, education, knowledge, experience and wealth. This substitute we will announce hereafter. ,s-? *.1" Tlic Marion Riot. The .Marion &'tar couies to us with-a-long article relative to the late riot in that town. We glean tho following^ a colored man, Smoot; on the night of the 21st of October, was id town with his sister-in-law, trading. Homeward bound, Smoot was met by a crowd of colored men, one of whom raised his stick to strike, but the said woman spoke to him,, and he let fall the stick. Smoot then asked Mr. Jj Wv Dickson to go home with him, who and the trio moved on. .Alargcr^ttjoycF gathered and followed them, i In a 'few "fuinutes a? missile was thrown, < whichJfushied Dickson's hat, who thereup- i on turned and remonstrated: with the crowd, ( and wteTin formed that while they had Both- ' ing a$uist"hun, they intended to put Smoot ] through. Surrounded by the mob, which I increased every minute, Sraoofc was struck \ with irrtick. Dickson advised him to make * his escape/wliioh, he. essaying. to was J pursued aijeT fired upon. ThId shot' was the I signal for a gftucril cry of '^iilEhiw.*? ' Smoot ran^s far as Mahheim's itorp, where c he stumbled, afiderehe% could- rccoier/>wa9 8 felled by Othello Harllee. Smoot managed ( to get inside the store, which wa& immediate ^ ly shut., -Ilayuej the- -Senator; - burst'open a tdie doojr, and the crowd surged in to find 1 Smoot, who had, fortunately, mad<rfiis cscape. The crowd then went to Maj, Shaw's ^ liuuse aud searched for Smoot, w.ho,was final- ' ly induced by that gentleman to give him- 5 saH' ?ir> tr> rmist.'ibln Shaw, and he Iodcred in ' jail for safety. Fourteen rioters had trtu? bills found against them, and at the June Term, 1S71.. the cases were tried, but only two of the defendants were present. Thirteen were found guilty, bnt not being present, sealed' sentences were left. Just at this stage of the proceedings, they wero all pardoned by the Governor. The citizens of Marion luve held indignation meetings and ! passed resolutions severely censuring the action of the Governor, and branding as false, . the statements of his organ, the Daily Union,, of Columbia. ' I m * " r t I . ' 1 y - : ' PJng-ie and Famine.', For some'time we have" had accounts of ! the niost distressing character from Persia, of the prevalence of pestilence and famine at tho same time. Hardly any land has suffered within a century so severely as Persia is now represented to suffer. This awful condition prevails in the provinces known 1 collectively as Khorassan. Such is the ex- ' t;ome stato of destitution there, that the ' wretched-Survivors arc often driven to dc vouring' the dead bodies to' sustain their 6wu lives. .A worse story than this eypn is told. People are put to death, it is said, to ' feed the famishing. " '' f Turkish Government has taken tardy nieasureV'to check the irirbad of the plague upon its dominions. But cholera cannot be ' stopped in .its course..** It travels upon the 1 wiuds. The outcry in, Persia has before 1 now been the forerunner of the appearanceof chulera in Europe and America. At ; least we should profit by the warning and >( maintain as rigidly as possible the purity of ^ the air by the cleanliness of our cities. While these terrible wails from the East 1 are striking upon our ears, a pamphlet is j given to the public by Rev. Mr. Ash, chaplain of the British legation at Buenos ( Ayrcs, giving the horrid details of the late l pestilence in that city. Outof 180.000 poo- \ pie about two-thirds fled and 20,000 per- t ished. The fish in the river Plate died 1 from the poison in the waters. And the people were compelled to drink the water } of the river, the water of the wells being unendurable j and it was made so because there were no means of drainage in the city. On tho XOth of April there were 450 internum ta. On the 16th the mortality began visibly to decline. It will take years for the city to recover from the calamity. "J Progress. The Kimball House, of Atlanta, Ga., is said to be the finest hotel building in tho South., It has been built within a year, cost 8500,000. contains three hundred rooms and was filled with guests to repletion two weeks ago, there being at the time no uriusual influx of travellers. Atlanta was razed to the ground by Sherman in 18G4,' now numbers thirty thousand inhabitants, and. the *cry is ''still they come." Tho people j iro thriving abundantly,- as merchants, bankers, farmers, mechanics, manufacturers, ] laborers, railroaders and life insurers.? i They are now ptftting up houses, building * factories, churches and railroads, of which | the air line through South Carolina and the ] Ducktown, Tenn., Roads are those most ad- < vanced. The tone of the people is extra 1 Southern, but their progress smacks of Yan- 1 kee energy. They express great pity for J South Carolina, and great confidence in 1 themselves and their future. They acknowl- i edge to have suflereu the inflictions of a wretched government, but havC evidently | caught and retained some of the drippings of the treasury. Mr. Stevens opposes the New Departure and Gen. Gordon favors it. , Ifazzah for Georgia! Long may she wave ! < i Mr. John Forsyth of the Mobile Register begins to think negro voting is not so bad a thing after all. He says: "The South gains in political weight in 'Congress by colored suffrage, and some of these ;n *i? i.~j i-* uajs luc xiauaaao vtxii nivu vucj Hull llit 11 alone." He then aims at conciliating the rabid secession elements by "telling them i that "this is an important gain, particularly 1 as in many of the reconstructed States it is likely to ensure, to the benefit of the Demo- , cratic party." This is a far more sensible i view of the situation, and the future use to be made of negro voters, than Alex. Stephens's nonsense about the invalidity of the Fifteenth Amendment. Wo shall soon ex- , pect to hear Mr. Forsyth shouting for the New Departure, or even for "Greeley and 1 One Term!" ' i David Butler was the Governor of No- 1 braska. Ho was impeached and removed J from office for embezzling the State funds. Since then David has shown talent worthy of the immortal Benjamin of Essex. Two j men named Gere and Bramlee are the owners 1 of a newspaper in Lincoln, Nebraska.

C.?i 1 Wilmington, July 29.?A bloody riotoccurred it Goldsboro' to-day. About 5000 negroes irrived there from Newbern and the lower jounties on an excursion.train, chartered by 1 he Republican State executive committee, to menu a mass uictruu^, at which vuii^iwuiiiu Thomas, ex-Senator Abbott, ntfarcus Erwinind R. G. Badger wore to be the speakers; There were few white people in town. / Many )f the negroes came intoxicated. The police 1 wrested one turbulentjnegro, and while on < .he way to the guardhouse with this prisoner, ;he negroes rallied and rescued him. The ?, jolored police fired at the prisoner, who was recaptured and taken by the police to the 1 Exchange Hotel. About one thousand cf .1 he negro mob, with clubs and pistols, rallied . :o the hotel, attempting another rescue. The riot commenced by the negroes throwing jrickbats at the police, aud using clubs, when i cross firing began between the polico and nob. The white people forbore, but are now irmed for the emergency. There is great jxcitement. About thirty or more shote were fired; three or more whites were hurt, me negro killed, and one colored policeman killed and two wounded. A committee of jitizens, appointed by Mayor Robinson, waited upon the Republican leaders and Mr. Stanley, president ol the A. and iN. 0". Kailroad, and requested that the'trains and nojrocs bo carried away. To this Stanley replied that ho would not carry them away until ho was ready. When told that he and . Thomas would be held responsible tor the disturbance, he replied, "Hold us responsible and be d?d." A JIad Ji/TOF..?A Judge out in Westam Pennsylvania went a river to bathe other morning, and while he viad swimming 1 about, some abandoned scaundrel store all his clothes, except his high hat and umfcreHar We won't undertake to explain how mud the ( judge was, because although the English language is copious, its most efficient and 1 vigorous adjectives are entirely unequal to ' the expression of certain degrees of emotion. ] But he stayed in the water about four hours experimenting with the different kinds of imprecations, and endeavoring to solectsome of the sturdiest objurgations for application | to the thief. At last he co came out, and af- ^ tcr mounting the high hat, opened the umbrella and tried to cover his retreat up ' the street toward his house. It appeared" to ^ me J uage mat an tue xeuiaie pupils of the boarding schools, and the members of the Dorcas societies and one Woman's Rights Convention, were out promenading that day; and the judge had an awful time going through the Zouave drill with that umbrella. When he reached home he heard that the thief had been captured. _The judge is now engaged in writing out his charge to the jury in advance of the trial. Those who have jcen the rough draft say it is the most picturesque law paper ever drawn up in that country. <. At a gathering in Bridgeport, Conn., a few day ago, a request was made that the four front seats be vacated by ladies over twenty, tomake room for those under thattonier age.
