The Republican State Committee have had suitable ballots prepared, which will be distributed through- out the State for the convenience of the colored voters. Sumner’s Greeley Letter. The letter recently published by L. U. Reavis from Senator Sumner was written @ year ago, while Mr. Greeley was in Texas, and when he was talked of as a possible candidate for the Prest- dency. ‘A Republican Split Nomination. The Purvis wing of the republican party, in dis- trict convention to-aay, nominated N. G.

He declined the nomination, but the Convention adjqgrned for one week in order to give him time consider his declination. The Wandering Sioux and the Northern Pacific. Areport to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs from Indian Agent Forbes, dated St. Paul, Minn., July 10, says he apprehends no dificulty or direct opposition from the Indians on our reservations— Lac Trayerse and Devil's Lake; but is satistled that the wandering hordes will gather and attempt to prohibit the railroad from crossing the Missouri River, and a large military force should be kept constantly on the lookout. The agent’s estimate for what would appear to be a large amount of pro- visions for the use ofthe Ageucy for this year is with a hope of drawing many of these hostile In- dians toa peacefal life on the reservation, where, for the first season, they mast be supplied with food. The “Ration’’-al (!) Treatment for the Kiowa Indians. Dr. Joseph Parrish, of Philadelphia, has been appointed by the Secretary of the Interior a Speciai Commissioner to visit the Kiowas and other hostile Indian tribes in Texas and the Indian country and negotiate for peace. Dr. H. E, Alvord, of Virginia, will be associated with Dr, Parrish in his mission. The Filibuster Pioneer. It appears from information obtained at the Treasury Department and Department of Justice to-day that the Cuban vessel, the Pioneer, is still under the control of the Collector of Customs at Newport, he haying just been instructed by the Treasury Department to have a large quantity of powder removed from the Pioneer to the pwplic Magazine, in accordance with the request of the Mayor of Newport, who apprehended that a possi- ble explosion might inflict much damage on that city. The Department of Justice has not given any instruction in the premises to the Marshal, who claims that the Pioneer {fs under libel for the beneflt of private parties. The United States Attorney for Rhode Island will, however, inquire into all the facts, and whether the Pioneer should be detained on the ground that she violated the neutrality laws. Meanwhile the Treasury Department consfders the vessel in its own custody. The Secretary of State and Attorney General have been in consultation on the subject, but no instructions whatever have been sent out through the latter’s department concerning the Pioneer. The report published in New York yester- day that the vessel had been turned over to the United States Marshal is false. Casey’s Resignation. Frequent inquiries are made for the reasons why the President does not accept the resignation of Collector James F, Casey, of New Orleans, as the fact is known that it was called for and made at the instance of the President and 1s stillin his hands, While the President really intended to appoint a successor to Collector Casey, he found the Congres- sional delegation unwilling, collectively or indl- vidually, to recommend anybody for the position. Senator Kellogg said he could not select from one wing of the republican party without incurring the displeasure of the other. The same excuse was made by Representatives Sheldon and Sypher, and the President was advised if he assumed the re- sponsibility it would certainly disrupt the party. Besides, nothing was alieged against the present incumbent in the State that made it desirable to have achange. Mr. Casey, therefore, has a hold on the office until after the Presidential election. The Cancellation of Revenue Stamps. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day appointed Henry C, Rogers, Deputy Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue; Charles A. Bates, of the Revenue Bureau, and J. L. Harley, of the Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing, a commission to examine and re- commend a suitable device for the cancellation of spirit, fermented liquor, tobacco ané cigar stamps. The reuse of stamps through neglect of manufac- turers to properly cancel them it is estimated de- frauds the revenue of a large sum annually. The levice adopted will be furnished at the expense of he government, and all required to use them will have to do so under penalty of forfeiture of their goods and a heavy fine. Consular Invoices In Importations. The Treasury Department to-day instructed the | Collector of Customs at New York to allow entry of | Imported merchandise unaccompanied by certified Invoices upon the duplicate of the foreign invoice, | provided a bond be executed in suMcient sum that | the certied invoice will be produced in due time. This practice prevailed for a short time, but as it was unauthorized by the Secretary upon his order it was discontinued, THE CASE OF President Grant Demands Houard as a Bight and Then Begs His Release as a Favor. Has tho United States Surrendered to Spain ?—A Humiliating Chapter in Our Diplomacy— Seoretary Fish’s Finger in the Pie— A Grant Defeat Abroad. Maprip, June 20, 1872, Tho caae of Dr. Houard is assuming proportions aa grave and monotonous as “The Jenkins Kar Question,” celebrated by Mr. Carlyle. The Spanish Papers mako it a current topic, and in the clubs and coffee houses it ts discussed to the exclusion of everything but the bull fights, for upon that theme the Spanish mind has reserved rights that no revo- lution and no political excitements disturb. Dr. Houard’s case is practically at an end, and there 3 no doubt that he will be released to-day or to-mor- row. But, before it passes Into history, there are circumstances connected with the release that should be known, toshow that in this, as in every othor feature of our foreign policy with Spain, we have submitted to humiliation. That strange infu- ence, or, more likely, fascination which Spalu exer- cises upon our government never had a more im- portant exemplification than in the Houard case. The American cannot but rejoice at the release of Dr. Houard. He cannot but feel that his release ‘was attended with circumstances of dishonor to the ie THE HISTORY OF THE CASK. When the case of Dr. Houard was made manifest to the American peopie it was believed that, what- ever moral sympathies it might arouse, the law was against us, and that the Doctor was really a subject of Spain. The Americans knew that the feeling of revolt and dissatisfaction was so generally distrib- uted throngh Cuba that it would have been quite safe for the authorities to arrest any resident with United States sympathies or connections at ran- dom, Honard had Cuban sympathies, was con- nected with American families, and was also a na- tive of Pennsylvania, More than that, one nephew was the commander-in-chief of the insurgent army, while another was a general of the forces. So when the American Secretary of State intimated that the case of Dr. Houard was one which could not be made a matter of correspondence or remonstrance with Spain, the country generally coincided with him, and Houard was left to his fate. But as evidence began to accumulate and public opinion, universally sensitive about Cuba and Spanish outrages upon American property, saw that Spain had no claim, the American govern- ment was compelled to make a demand for his release. This demand was made by General Sickles upon his return from the United States. By the instructions of the government it was peremp- tory in its character. It was shown that Dr. Houard was an American citizen by birth and had never transferred his allegiance. It was shown that by treaty no American citizen could be tried in Cuba or in any Spanish possessions except by a constl- tuted tribunal, and that Dr. Houard haying been condemned by a court martial waa clearly under the operation of this treaty. It was shown that under this unjust and illegal sentence he had been deprived of his property and of his liberty for nearly two years. As a consequence Spain was informed that the President could not but view with concern the attitude of the Spanish government, and unless Dr. Houard was restored to liberty at once he would withdraw his mission from Madrid and com- municate the facts to Congress. . THE AMERICAN MINISTER ENTERS ret A WARPATH, The Minister lost no time In ma these repre- fentations to the Spanish government. Those who know the intellectual temper and tendencies of a mind like that of General Sickles will readily un- derstand the emphasis with which he would convey to Spain the instructions of the President. When his note was written Spain was in “a crisis.” Sa- gasta had been tumbled out of power for making free with public moneys. Serrano had bee moned from the Carlist wars to “save Spain. 2 republicans were preparing for a demonstration. The radicals wc. about to make common cause with them. Zorrilla had retired in a pout irom pub- lic life, The King’s throne was tremblilug, and men saw the ghost of Maximilian hovering over his dy- nasty. Serrano was insisting upon supreme power to save the nation. War was in tl ir, Foreign ministers had gone so far as to devise means to save the life of the Queen and her children from the fury of an unreasoning and uncontrollable insurrection. At atime like this any ordinary diplomatic communication would have made little {mpression upon the Spanish govern- ment, or, under similar circumstances, u; government. of General Sickles conveying the just and firm re- monstrances of the President made a profound im- pression upon Madrid. The papers began to breathe echoes of its spirit. It was discussed in the clubs. Spaniards began to see that the United States gov- ernment was in earnest, and the effect was gratify- | We looked forward hope- | ing to every American. fully toa new per of policy, so far as Cuba was concerned, and remembering the Presidential year, it was thought that President Grant intended to fight one battle of the campaign in Madrid. The Spanish, generally the most sluggish of mortals, and in diplomatic matters indisposed to answer a note in @ less space than three months, responded to this In twoor three days. Our Minister was overwhelmed with assurances of Spain’s friend- liness. tfe was toid that his wit was unanswer- able, and that in a few days Houard would be re- leased, with suitable apologies and representations to the American governinent. Serrano himself was said to have interested himself in the case, m any | But, notwithstanding this, the note | and to say to the Minister in lis biuif soldierly way | that America inighi nave Houard and much’ good might he do us.

Martes became For- eign Minister—a Wise, eral, far-secing states- man, who is friendiy to the United States, as he ope: ee eta he was conironted with Houard’s case. At the same time a new influence seemed to pervade the Spanish mind. Honard would not be rejeased after all. General Sickles was to be recalled for interference in Spanish jocat politics, The Americans. had no right to make the demauds they had made. General | Sickles in his note had transcended his in- structions. Mr. Fish knew more about the pers of Spain than the Amerian Minister, and he gi ‘new perfectly well that in the event of America ‘iving Spain the least trouble, Spanish corsairs would swarm over the seas and bombard all of our ports. There seemed to be a deadlock In the negotiations, Martes for the release of Houard, the response was | steadily, | got no fruits that we can tonc true, given us words in the past few days; but | And when ony Minister called upon | that he could only be given up as an act of clemency , upon the part of the King.

IT HAS SERVED GOD AND HUMANITY. Seen eee The North Carolina Election to Settle - the Presidential Contest. eS ae A Grant Victory Will Be a Gain of | Twenty-seven States. WiLMINaTON, N. O., July 18, 1972, Senator Wilson, the republican candidate for Vice President, spoke here to-day at a grand republican mass meoting. A procession was formed at tho City Hall and marched to @ grove in the suburbs, where the meeting was held. A large number of white and colored marsnals paraded. A Iteral estimate fixes the crowd on the grounds as not exceeding fifteen hundred, nearly all of whom were colored. Several thousand were expected. ‘The enthusiasm was very great. SENATOR HENRY WILSON’S SPEKCHL. Mr. Wilson said :— Five years ago last May, just after the reconstruc- tion measures had passed, I visited your city and addressed several thousands of your fellow citizens, 1return here after tive years of listening to the sto- ries of the ruin of North Carolina and the despotism or federal government; but I Mud that your city has increased in prosperity and your condition improved, T cannot see nor do you feel this despotism of the United States government. Icomo here to utter to you the sincere convictions of my heart. 1 do not come to tell you that every republican is a good man and every democrat a bad man. There are good and pure men in each party, and there are also bad and tgnoble men in both parties. But the country is arrayed to-day in two grand organizations; each have their policies and princt- ples; they are arrayed against each other. I do not propose to say anything against Mr. Greeley or Mr. Brown; they are both old political and personal friends. [come here not to,speak of men. Grant and Greeley are before you; but the con- test is not between men, but between the ideas and principles of these two grand or- ganizations. Some men will tell you, “You can vote the Baltimore and Cincinnati ticket and claim to be republicans," but you could as well have been in Lee’s army and say that you had fought for the banner of the Union. A vote for Greeley is a vote to DEFEAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, and it means not only the defeat of that party, but its extermination, They say that it is time for this great party to die, Why, we have just begun to live, and we will live a thousand years. We have three and 4 half million votes, and these three and a half millions we intend to give for Grant. But what hos this organiza- tion done that it should die? Has it committed crime against God or humanity? It has done more for the country, for linerty, to lift up down-trodden humanity and to make the United States government grand and glorious than any organization that ever existed on God's green earth. Go to England, and yon will find no champion of popular rights there but ad- mires the republican party of this country. Goto basen France and every European State, and you will find that the men of progressive ideas there are in sympathy wiih the republican party of the Western World. It appeals to the higher and nobler sentiments of man, The eg party fought through four years of war to strike the fetters from every man in the country. With this spectacle be- fore us, there are men in the country who come in and say that that party has done its work, and must give ray to those who have opposed every measure that It has accomplished; but we have A GREATER WORK BEFORE US than ever emancipation was to change the hearts of three million American democrats, The reputhi- can party has been in the right in every issue it has maintained since its existence; but if we are to die, let us before we perish do something toward con- these democrats, Something has been done that already, for just the other day they into convention at Baltinfore and ‘nomi- two republicans. In the course of my went nated political career I have visited twenty-seven States and addressed 1,800 assemblages, and never, in my life, have I written a line or uttered a sentence tend- ing to degrade any man, black or white. God made us ail, and I care not whether a man be biack or white, I recognize in him a brother. I have acted with the republican party because it advocates this ide: T was born «democratic boy ;my father was a demo- crat; but when I came of age I went heart and soul with the mob, the denounced anti-slavery men. T have acted with the democratic party and against it; with the whig party and against it; but I have | made the cause of liberty the supreme doctrine of my life, After many years of struggling the great republican party was brought into existence to up- hold this great principle, and has pursued its work We have now arrived at the summit, but have yet to put the crowning work upon it. I wish democrats would now come out and say you have ontess our errors, and hope you will accept our faith, but they must prove this by the campaign, They are preparing for it, and in the next four years may have shown th selves worthy to be With us. Holy Writ says, “A tree shall be judged by its fruits,’ but they have ir yet they have, it is words are not fruits, We propose to ELECT GRANT FOR FOUR YEARS LONGER. and Congress to support his administration, Let the Greel en work and talk, we going to beat you, bat we can’t trust yon. You may be right now, but you were wrong yesterday; and prove you are worthy next winter. Come to Congress and vote for Sumner’s Civil Rights bil, and help to build up the country, and make this what it i fast becoming— the grandest government on the face of the earth. Democrats, stop talking about the despotiam of the federal government when you know there is no You cannot open any book of history show where any country on the f the earth has been #0 merciful, oO man can stand up here to-day and assert to the contrary.

I has brought shame and sorrow upon both North and South, Finally # class of men grew up in this country and held the doctrine that emancipation was not only the duty of the master, but the right of the slave. Another class de- nied this doctrine, and that the government bad bo right to touch the question of slavery in the several States; but we had determined THE SYSTEM OF SLAVERY shonld not touch the Territor' and by God's heip and of we carried it throngh, We ‘elected Abraham Lincoln, that charitable, just and pure man. | While we loved the slave, we never hated | the master.

In the spring of 1371 the Senate of the United States thought is ought to stay at the Capitol and protect citizens from these outrages. The House thought it ought to adjourn and go home. Horace Greeley about that time wrote @ leader, saying that a government which would not protect its citizens ought to be swept from the ; face of the earth. While the two houses differed General Grant just then issued a little Message about as long as your finger, asking for a law for the punishment of the Ku Klux. It had the effect of a battle order, and the act was passed mediately, You, gentiemen democrats, have taken Mr. Greeley, and can say no more about the despotism of the Ku Kiux acts, About your North Carolina canvass I know little, and propose to say less about your local politics; but, as your election is at hand, I will say to you it is destined to exert IMMENSE INFLUENCE UPON THE VOTE OF THE COUN- gress and the people of thé for your Mistake, Bus we eat deal im- TRY. The people of the United States are looking upon this vote of North Cayolina as the settlement of the Presidential contest. If democrats carry it it will give more votes for Greeley than you think, but i you carry it it will give more votes for Grant ‘than you have got in your whole State, Last year I went to New Hampshire, 1 was laughed at when I told mon there that we would carry the State, because we had been beaten a@ year before, for the first fime in sixteen years, but we did carry it by an increased majority and in Connecticut—we made again of 3,200 on the democratic vote. Last year we also carried the election in Oregon by a large majority, with seventeen on the joint ballot in the Legislature, Why our democratic friends weut to Baltimore a few days ago to nominate a President, and were told by a few republican run- ners there, if they adopted the Cincinnati nowinee, they would march to victory. You have got to see what the effect is here in North Carolina; for it can’t be found anywhere else, Carry the elec- tion in this State and that will bo THK LAST OF THE CINCINNATI-BALTIMORE TICKET. Thoy tell us up North that they are to carry this State by 20,000 majority, and your friends there be- lieve it; but suppose they don’t get It, why they will begin to say we expected it in New Hamp- shire, we expected it in Connecticut, we were sure of itin democratic Oregon and we expected it in the old North State, and behold North Carolina has gone for Grant, Give us a victory here and we will carry twenty-seven of these States. 1 confess it fairly, if you republicans give us avi tory here there will be no more figh We will canter over the field; but you allow a democratic victory you will put a burden on our shoulders which will make us stagger. We may stand defeat, but it will cost us months of labor and toil to recover, and It will then afford a substantial evidence that there ts dissatisfaction with the administration, In con- clusion I will state one fact:—They say we have stolen, but there has been less” per- centage stolen under Grant's administration than any other within a quarter of a century—by actual figures less than one fifteenth of one per cent.

Terre Haute, Ind., July 18, 1872. In accepting the democratic nomination for Con- gress at the Convention in Spencer to-day the Hon. D. W. Voorhees made a long and elaborately pre- pared speech. He said he gave honest repub- licans the same credit which they now give democrats—that they would = suM- ciently rise above party to vote against acorrupt administration without regard to the company in which they performed so noble an act. He thought that any one of four or five democratic statesmen who might be named could have been elected President over Grant, and believing this he exercised his right as @ member of the democratic | party in pointing out what he considered its proper urse, He had NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE FOR THE PAST "TNE CLEVELAND RACES. \ Yearday’s Banning—The Postponed Trotting Bace Won by Rosalind in Spite of an Acci- dent—."he 2:30 Trotting Race Won by Ella W tlson—The Three-Quarter Mile Runnin,” Race Won in Six Hoats by Roma 10e—To-Day’s Racing. < CLEVELAND, July 18, 1872. . The morning of the seco," day of the meetingof the Cleveland Club opened dark and cloudy, @& heavy rain having fallen through the night, Before and almost up to noon it was not thought that the races announsed could taket place, but the sun came out avd the track Was found to be in much better conditinu thar war expected when the time came for the \horsea to start, The track is 80 constructed that it.takesa large amout of rain to materially affect it. The attendance was much larger than on the first day, not less than 5 FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS being present. ‘The first thing on the programme this morning was the finishfug of the 2:27 race,. postponed on account of the darkness on Thursday, It should be remembered that ROSALIND HAD WON TWO MEATS, Sleepy John one and Red Cloud one. The horses were called on time and the race commenced, but an accident occurred which, at the time was thought to be serious, but turned out to be only a slight afwir, Rosalind had the pole; but, after going @ few rods, was shut of by Red Cloud being reined in before her, producing an entanglement and breaking of the wheels of Rosalind’s sulky and throwing out of h)r driver, Mr. Dobbie, Sr. The horse went on, however, dragging the sulky on one wheel, every moment ENDANGERING THE LIFE AND LIMBS of this $50,000 horse. She ran around the coursd and was finally captured, but it was found that «she had cut herself above the aatern joint of one of her legs. The injury was not suMecient to affect her spirits, and she was soon ready for another trial. ie judges ruled that the driver of Red Cloud be suspended for thirty days, and that the horse be distanced. The horses were again called, and Rosalind came in first, easily making time of 2:27, thus WINNING THE RACK, to the great delight of the crowd. ‘The first race of the day was for horses that had never beaten 2:30, There were nine entries, and all started, GENTLE ANNA AND ELLA WILSON were the favorites In the pool. The fleld of horses was one of the flnest ever seen in the West, but the condition of the track did not carry out the ex- pectations of the crowd, In the fourth heat the sulky of Ohio Bey was run into by Ella Wilson and a wheel broken, but the driver maintained his seat, The race was eventuaily wom by Ella Wilson, the time being 2 30—2 :31—2 33214, Gentle Anna taking the second money and Catta- raugus Chief the third. The second race was for 230 horses, and was won by Ed Selly, in three straight heats, in 2:37, 2:35, 2:36, which is better proportionate time than was made in the first race. ELEVEN ENTRIES WERE MADE, and all started. The purse was $1,500, the second money going to Delaware Chief and the third to John Chambers, THE THIRD AND LAST RACK was for rmuing horses, three-fourths of a mile, beat three in five heats, the first premium being $300, Eight horses were entered, but only five started, I¢ was a very exciting race, as there is @ disposition on the part of Western patrons of the turf to en- courage running races. Expectations rose and felt as the race progressed, but the final result was reached by ROMANCE, WHO CAME IN FIRST In the last three heats, it besng necessary to run six heats to decide the contest. The time made by Romance was 1:23, and 1:29 Romance is & promising young m: This closed the races for Thursday. The great feature for Friday will be the trotting by Goldsmittr Maid, Lucy and American Girl, The ‘indications are that the weather will be splendid, and as the railroads run trains at half-fare there will be the largest crowd ever seen in the Northwest. The horses are in the best condition, and a spirited con- test is anticipated. There will also be a trotting and pacing match, The meeting Will not close until Saturday, when the races originally set down for Thursday wiih take place. The meeting has been seen inter- fered with by the wet weather, but the result prom- ises to be favorable to the club. PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS.

And if the liberal republicans could even mode ately weil fulfil their expectations, the vote of the State would be cast against the administration party in October and November by larger majorities than Were ever known in her history.
