Republicans— The Afric Mogul on the Rampuge—Free Schoula—Taxation and Suffrage. Rroaoxp, Va, Oct, 1, 1867. Yesterday was a gala day among the radical frater- pity here, being the occasion of a grand powwow on the square in the evening, and several diminutive meet- {mgs in the various wards at night, at all of which a baric and a how! were distinguishabte, sometimes amounting to @ perfect pandemonium of discord aad confusion, Calls for the ward meetings, signed by the very doubiful title of “Many Citizens,’ appealing to the republicans of the city to meet for the purpose of consultation and orzaniza- ‘tion, appeared tn the morning papers, and were the subject ‘of a good deal of comment throughout the day by the “pale faces,” who considered themsétves outsids the pale of republicanism, ag that term is understood in this focality. But these were not the only people affected by these ‘ominous calls, Hunnicutt, the Great Mogul of the party and high priest of the radical faith hero, foared, ‘as be had not teen consulted, there was mischief brew- tag in the camp, and he accordingly issued bis prociama- thon chat the Joyal citizens should «eet in the square, Preparatory to repairing to the ward meetings, About four P.

Shavks, who was not initiate! in the proceedings, modestly excused himself when called wpon, and fell back, with a promise to make a speech on the ensuing evening. He gave place to the illustrious Hunntcutt; and if he was aot weil versed in tho peculiar radict Speech making at the South, ne cocteinly had the bene- Ot of a thorough lesson.

Among his remarks to the dark cloud in front ot him was a caution to beware of Union men of the “second issue,” a pew term, which the orator expiained by saying those who came in ut the eleventh hour, to riake of the loaves and tishes, which he evideotly bas upon for hunself and (riends, He next charged to beware of men from the North, even those who had fougut for the Union during the war, and who were now dispiaying in dazzling array the waito feacher of conservatism, than whom t finitely more to be respected. as the loyal people, have to be these two classes, who w heir guard against not to be trusted by tuem. that were guillotined by the Speaker were the co-operation policy men, who, he told his sabte hearers, only wished to ensiave them again. The most radical exhortat were then made in rela- tion to the election of delecaies to the Constitutional Conveaiton, whose first quaiitication should be the swal- lowing of the radical pili of the 17th of April Platferm, and any man who could not digest that quack = medici should be considered no better than rebels and traitors.

(Re- Bewed cheers.) Tho orator said be was going to that Convention, and he would carry all the measures he ad- ‘Voeated, if it took six months, or break up the whole eoncern. If-he did not go to the Convention, it would be because a more intensely radical man could be found to supply bis piace. The speaker was in the zenith of bis element for speecii making, and continued to ba- Fanguo the sooty crowd antil searly dark, interspersing allusions calculated to embitter the minds of the biacks Against the whites throughout his «peech, which he Closed by an onslaught on the conservative republicans, whom ho characterized ‘ milk-and-water men,” aud finished them up 1p a most summary and tor his hearers satisfactory manaer, The radical reconstruction of the code of Virginia was the business of the Convention and would occupy some time, and, in the opinion of the speaker, Virginia would not be in the Union in January, 1868, and probably not until March.

NORTH CAROLE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. The White Race Arounsed=—North Cnarolina beigh—Speeches of Prominent Men—Pintform Adopted—Holdea Deuounced. Ra.gioa, Sept. 80, 1867. Toe political cauldron is bubbiing up to the boiling point in this venerable capital of the Old North State, end [ think it may be safely calculated that the foars @f negro supremacy aro fast fading away. They are giving piace to a settled conviction that the white race bas still a destiny in reserve The great stumbling Diock of the South bas been the State pride fallacy in- eulcated by Virginia and South Carolina, The boast of Virginians that they are the superior offspring of a superior race of pure and unadulterated Britwh cavaliers, acd of South Carolina that her first seitiers sprung from a mixture of the cavalier ud Huguenot, was generally accepied as entitiing these States to the leadership iu the Southern aristocracy by their brethren of less pretensions and more humble origin, though from the category of these fools aad dupes ught, perhaps, to except the sturdy people of North Carotina, who have always had the good sense to deride the sentimental cant of the pretended mon- Opolists of “all the biood of all tbe Howards.’ North Carolina was never arrogant nor haughty in her de- meanor towards her wister states in the Union. She never, like Virginia and south Carolina, pretended to contain all the excelience, all the statesmansbip, all the patriotism, all the vaior and ali the respectability of the country, of aspire to eujoy all the offices and benefits of wwe government, but in her poverty and humility ‘was content to be one of many and to share alike the tolls, the dangers, tho honors and the glories of our one common country. She did wot, thereat make her. self the bye-word and tho jest of whe country by her everbearng manners, and by her unfounded claims to superorty, and if there were any two ‘States in the Union before the war that were heartily de- tested by the honest yeomanry of the Tar Heel State— they were the self-styled chivairic Kingdoms of Vir- § via aad South Carolina Especially was this dislike directed at Virginia, aud °0 thoroughiy were the peo) imbued with the aou-Virgiow spirit that the farther sway from the boundary | we of the Old Dominion a Tar Hoe! was born, the more reapectable a Tar Heet was he.

Tho meeting of Friday court House was a most enthusiastic . 7 masses. lis object was to giv ex- pression to the sentiments of the people upon the prea- ent aspect of political affairs, and indicate what policy is regarded best in the presentemergency, The chairman, Rev. W. E. Pell, one of the best citizons of Raleigh stated that tho movement was originated by t workingmen and was uot partisan in ite char- acter—neither domocratic nor republican, much less radicai—but an uprising of the truly conser- vative masses of the people; not to form party in the atrict sense of the term, but to unite the influence of all good men agains the evil schemes of violent radicals in the matter of State reorganization. They neither desired to unite with any Northern party nor to forms “white man’s party,” he said, and although the speaker might honestly think that such was its purpose, it is useless to attempt to conceal the fact that the sympathies of the white masses are with the Northern democracy and with the white man. How could they be otherwise? H» said that we wanted no discord oetween the races, and deprecated any such thing as a war of caste, desiring all, white and black, to work together for the common weal of tho State, “It is with the colored population alone,’ he remarked, ‘to say whether there shail be a white man’s party and a black man’s party in North Carolina”? In this he is right, for the whites are far more tolerant aud just in their wishes and ideas than the biacks, and are fectly willing to concede — right to the blacks save that of sleeping in the same with them, and this the negroes may do also if they can find white bedfellows, But be said if the colo-ed people rersisted in voting with the radical party, they wocld certa: ita black man’s party ; aud ad it ts bighly probable bow the issue can be avoided =H to the Stale back friend, This is not a glittering generality, but ® sober troth, The people who have grown up with the negroos from childhood are their natural friends. There is feeling almost fraternal that has been fostered and friendship that been cemented by years of common of mutual sorrows aud joys, which binds the together in the South in be severed by the pernicious seeds which radicalism is gaged so sedulously im sowing broadcast through this fair country, with a view to the consolidation and bed not this horrible catastrophe be strumeniaiity of the Northern second sober thought? The meeting, during the absence of the Committee on Resolutions, was addrested by Mr. RC. Badger, mame dear to North (Carolina, and not unknown to country. In the course of his remarks he said the: was danger, imminent danger, and be was ready to do all in bis power to aid in re-establishing, on a firm foun- datton, the constitution and ihe Union as the grext bul- warks of civil liberty. Tho fact that Mr. Badger was one of the speakers is the more important because be was and is a bosom friend of Mr. Holden, with woom he had acted, But since Holden has become entirely Diack Mr. Badger has cast him off, and now fully co- operates wit the party of speedy restoratiou—tho ra of union and harmony, the white man’s party, if the name will suit better, He was now as he bal been before and during the war, an uncompromising Union- ist, and stood upon the eame platform with bis incor- ruptible friend, tnat pure jot, B. F. Moore, Esq., than whom the cause of the Union had no better advo- cate. With such men as Badger and Moor’, Holden and his radicals will strive in vain for the ascendaucy. The Committee on Resolutions, of which Captain De- corteret, an amovstied hero of the war, was chairman, reported a series of resolutions; and the Captain, in making bis report, remarked that be was opposed to the designs of the North Carolina radicais He was a friend to the colored map, and would do hat he could to promote their true interests; but be could not forget and could not conceal his iments that this government was the purchase of the bivod and sacrifice of the white race. It bad been preserved and sustained by that race, and be believed it was the province of that race to sores it, ue pape nse to tho rights of the jack man; but he should ever oppose negro supremacy in this State and in the Union. As these resolutions will, no doubt, form the basis for the organization of the conservative party of North Carolina, they are more important from that fact than from any liar Or intrinsic merit they possess in themselves over similar utterances adopted at crossroad meetings; and, fone I wilt give you their spirit in as fow words as poxsibie. \ty of the conservative people and their attachment to the priosipies of the Meckien- burg and the general Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United Staces.

The fifth declares that they will not support any one for the convention who is not opposed to the bitter and vindictive measures of the radicals of North Carolina, The sixth and last urges upon all conservatives of all classes and cojors to hold meetings and concentrate their influence in effecting the objects in view, and to organ- ize fully for the purpose of joming in @ mass meeting in Raleigh oa the 12th of Octover. iy resolitions were adopied unanimously, and amid the greatest entiusiasm.

Colonel Russ continued at considerable length in deaunciation of Holdea, who is at present surrounded by many tribulations, and kept the house in a continuous roar of laughier. He was followed by M. A Bledsoe, who, being one of the great disfranchised, spoke witb great reluctance. He said be desired to see the couvtry restored the best way for the honor and prosperity of the people of the South. If the radicals persisted io their insane efforts to build up a black man’s party, they must expect them to result im the farmation of @ white man’s party—s consequence which every true friend of the uegro must deprecate and dep ore. Speeches were made in the same vein by Major Gales, and other gentlemen, and the meeting was brought to aclose by the appointment of @ committe to drait an address to the people of tho State, And 80 the issue in North Carolina is fally made wp; and from present appearances, the result is scarcely doubiful, The party which belie of the white race will triumph, the State will only do their duty zealously, Carolina will be saved from the terrors wnich would be entailed by the Winmph of the radical negro party.

Tus Lapies’ Recertion at Tax Union Leacun Cuca Room.—Having accepted an invitation a few days since from the Union League Club to recei' ladies of ti mbers at one o'clock P. M. yesterday, the club house appearance to honor the occasion, From staff on the roof a magnificent national flag threw its wide folds to the breeze, and over the balconies smaller banners also waved. In the hail, on the stairway, and on the landing a few policemen were placed, iihgparnr fi for ornament, as their services o! 1s@ were noed- less. There was no crowding, crushing or contusion of any sort, and everything passed off in the most agreeable mano ladies arrived as early as forty minutes past twelve P. M., and were conducted to the Ii to await the General’s coming. At one P. M. Colonel 13 E, Howe, Mr. D. Van Nostrand and Mr, C. 3. Smith pro- ceeded in a carriage to the hotel for the purpose of orting the General to the Club House, During their bsence on this errand the arrivals became more numerous, and the ption rooms began to fill rapidly, Many ladies being unattended, waile others were accom- panied by members of the club, On the Generai’s arrival be was ushered to the ro- fresument room, where a short time was spent. On descending from this chamber he was escorted by Colonel Howe to the drawing room, and the ceremony of preseotation commenced, The lady visitors on their arrival were received at the door by a member of the Club and then ashered up the right hand passage of the principal staircase to the library, in which a brief delay was made before entering the drawing room, where thoy were presented to the General, After the presentation was over the visitors who wished to leave passed out of the drawing room to the landing and withdrew by the left hand passage of the staircase, The majority of the guests, however, re- mained, and either promenaded througn the room or formed in groups, evidently viewing the presentation ceremony with pleasure. General Sheridan occupied a Position in the centre of the principal drawing room. At bis left a table was placed on which lay endid: bouquet of flowers presented to him by the club, and on his right Colonel Howe stood to present tho visitors as they entered. General Daniel E. Sickles, accompanied by his daughter, arrived shortly after Generat Sheridan. Miss Sickles was the first lady pre- sented, and was received very kindly by General Sheri- dan, who extended both bands to the young lady, and remained in conversation with ber for some time, The presentation once begun proceeded at a rapid rate, and the visitors poured up the staircase, through the library, and before the General in one unceasing stream. Some persons on being introduced merely shook bands and passed on, while otbers remained in con’ sation with the General for some minutes, Several rather interesting eceues took place duriug the reception. One lady on being presented sai: General Sheridan—I am a Southern woman. I re- spect any mao who fought in the Northern army as well as I respect those who fought in the Southern army. It is now time for us all to shake handa, ‘The Geveral inquired what part of tho South the lady belonged to, when she stated sue lived in Savannah, and that her house was the third one from where General Sherman made his headquarters while in that city. Mr. Doremreux, who was a professor at West Point when General Sheridan was a cadet there, was also presented. Not baving seen the General since he jeft that military institution, he displayed some emotion on being imtro- duced, and recalled some instances of the Ge: ‘a cadet days. To Mra. Lane, the lady President of the Metropol. itan Sanitary Fair, he expressed his great pleasure at hav- ing the opportunity of returning thanks for her efforts on behalf of the soldiers in th id, and he assured her that while in the fleid he felt a great interest in her ertions for that cause, With the Rev.

A few were attired ip evening dress, with the fashionable train, but the majority were either in regular street costume, short dress, &c,, or in a sort of nondescript compromise be- tween an evening and @ walking suit, The costume of the gentiomen present was equally varied, for while the members of tho Committee of Arrangements of the League Club were in full dress a few persons wore, evi- dently, thin, ordinary business suits, The military men, including General Sheridan, were all in uniform. As three o'clock approached the arrivals fell of very much and at the hour appointed for tue close of the re- ception the rooms were nearly empty. The pariing bospitaliues of the club were then offered the General, and after partaking of the stirrup cup he was escorted to his ¢carriage, The bouquet of flowers presented to bim by the club was placed alongside him, and with a parting cheer from a few persons who had asseinvied on the sidewaik he drove off to bis hotel to prepare for his trip to Newport, DEPARIUAE FOR NEWPORT.
