Keep up the good work. Let the whole land be covered with the flowers of ‘benign goodness, and the fruits of righteous- ness be everywhere yielded in abundance. A Surfelt of Confederate Archives. Those four yellow trunks of documents which the federal administration recently pur- ‘chased from Colonel Pickett, seem to be but as the first few drops preceding a shower of Con- federate archives whose holders are eager to negotiate for sales. If we were to judge from Jacob Thompson's report there would be just reason to doubt that the lot was worth the greenbacks paid for it. Yet, as Colonel Pickett asserts that its lists of rebels will ena- ble the Claims Commission toeheck threatened raids on the Treasury, we must hope the out- lay will prove profitable. But does not this purchase, in the heat of the canvass, and the immediate publication of Thompson’s incen- diary report, give reason to suspect the papers were obtained more in the interest of Grant's re-election than for the money they might save to the Treasury? This report ‘tells the world no news, We all knew of the plot to burn Northern cities, to free prisoners ‘and to assassinate President Lincoln. We print to-day a letter from the. successful nego- tiator, Colonel Pickett. He says the papers were rightfully owned by the United Siates ‘government, and that, moreover, there are copies of them all also for sale. This is, ‘doubtless, the reason of the small price he put upon them. A Washington despatch says that large quantities are offered, and that there is no demand for more. If the balance of these papers, which it is proposed to publish as weapons against Greeley, point no more dis- tinctly to his guilt than does the well- trumpeted Thompson report, would it not pay better to sell them as waste paper? Even if genuine documents could be obtained which would tend to inflame again those passions ‘which seven years of peace should have sub- -dued, would it not be better patriotism to con- sign them to the flames than to publish them? Is partisanship so exacting that it should run the risk of renewed war? General Grant's popularity is surest asa peace candidate, and the motto of his supporters should be, ‘‘The Republic is Peace.” PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. General N. P.

Guneva, July 27, 1872. Tt has been ascertained that the interruption which recently occurred in the proceedings of the Board of Arbitration for the settlement of the Alabama claims was cansed by the existence of a necessity for a re-examination of the English law on questions regarding the construction of the pri- vateering vessels in British ports, and also for in- vestigation astowhether the British Admiralty used sufficient diligence in preventing these vessels from going to sea.

THE IDEA OF LUMPING THE INDEMNITY. The outsiders who are engaged in canvassing the question in all its varying aspects regard it as probable that, after a very careful investigation of each case, the Arbitration Tribunal will place the amount of indemnity to be paid by Great Britain to the United States ata gross sum, the total of which will be stated by the Court. ‘THE QUESTION OF INTRREST.

DOMINGO AFFAIR. pad LS Rls ba, Carl Reads Pleasonton’s Bribe-Of- fering Letter to the Meeting. +o Advice to Negroes and Ex-Soldiers of the Confederate Army. Greensporo, N. C., July 27, 1872. There was a grand meeting of the conservatives of this, Guilford, and the adjoining counties, held here this afternoon, which was addressed by Sena- tor Schurz. From fifteen hundred to two thousand persons were present, and the meeting was held in the grove where Secretary Boutwell spoke to a few hundred negroes his speech of “bloody-chasm notoriety.’ There was so much uncertainty about the arrival of the great Missourian that large num- bers were deterred from coming great distances; but what the crowd lacked in numbers was amply made up in the deep attention with which they listened, in the great enthusiasm mani- fested and in the warm reception given to the dis- tinguished orator. A committee of citizens went to Readsville, twenty-five miles east of this place, to meet the Senator, and upon his arrival at the depot a band struck up a national air, the crowd gave three cheers and he was triumphantly ushered into the town, After dinner at the Benbow House, the Senator was conducted in an open carriage to the grove, where the crowd were seated on benches improvised for the occasion. He was introduced by Colonel J. A. Gilmer in a few appropriate re- marks. CARL SCHURZ’S SPRECH. Upon coming to the front of the stage Senator Schurz apologized for his inability todo justice to the occasion, owing to the extreme fatigue of travel for four successive days and nights. He said he had to be guided entirely by the inspirations of the moment, as theré had not been time allowed him to collect his scattered thoughts, and he felt quite feeble and nearly exhausted. Through all the years of his political life in this country he had belonged to the anti-slavery party and was devoted to the advo- cacy of its principles, that all slavery might disap- pear from the land, and that all Americans, no matter what race, color or nationality, might breathe the FREE AIR OF TRUE LIBERTY. These were his principles, and if he were not now fighting in the ranks of the republican party it ‘was their fault, not his, because that was his most ardent desire. He stood here to-day arrayed against the republican party, as it was now under- stood. A review of the history of the abolition of slavery, the war and its results, culminating in the emancipation of the nego race, then followed. A consequence of the latter state under our American institutions was the necessity of conferring upon the colored race the right of suf- frage, and to secure this to them he advocated and supported the Congressional acts of reconstruction, in order that the negroes might be protected in the exercise of their civil and political rights. atter this was accomplished the eye of the party had to sweep A GRRATER POLITICAL HORIZON, and it then became our duty to give political rights and privileges to every citizen of the Union, to the rebels and to the men who had bravely met us in the field, but who had laid down their arms in good faith; then it was that we planted ¢he flag of amnesty with the flag of justice, and Horace Greeley—(cheers)—was its standard bearer. His motto was, “Let every man be free, and let every man vote for whom he pleases.” The speaker then briefly reviewed the history of the ola democratic party, which had legisiated to keep itself in power for a number of Presidential terms, and succeeded in doing so by corrup- tion and fraud, until there wasa great popular revolution which took the power away from it. So it was now with the republican party, which, by strict obedience and blind discipline, was now, by similar and even worse meal endeavoring to fasten itself upon the country. ith this view the leaders had given universal suffrage to keep them- selves in power; bat universal amnesty might en- danger their position. LAWS SUCH AS THE KU KLUX law and the bayonet law were passed, and a reat power was placed in the hands of the admin- istration, which was now being used for the vilest and basest of purposes. These laws, if they protected some, endangered the liberties of others, who were by far the greater portion of the American people. In the execution of these laws he understood there had been (iN violations of constitutional liberty. Here, he had been in- formed, in this very State, extraordinary means were being adopted by the administration to carry the State elections. Deputy marshals had been appointed in every township in every county, and it seemed that the elective franchise had been transferred from the citizens to the deputy mar- shals. To be sure in the North THIS TYRANNY, THIS DESPOTISM, ‘was not felt, but in the North the people knew that the people of the South were trammellied, and while one political slave remained in the country they were in danger and none were really free. ‘The administration, with its long arm of ‘federal power, was reaching into the affairs of the States to an extent that had at first alarmed and then aroused the people of the North. The maiis even were not free from the contaminating influences of this species of despotism. Enclosed packages to citizens had been broken a in the post offices and in the mail cars and republican documents laced within them. He then reverted to the en- ‘anchisement of the colored race and the corrupt manner in which their votes had been controlled by the carpet-baggers. THE ROBBERY AND PLUNDER OF THE SOUTIERN STATES; and he charged the republican party with the this debauchery and cor- | ae of all ruption. for, said he, the ci t-baggers: were the representatives of the republican party, and they were countenanced and encouraged the republicans in Congress and by the re- publican administration at Washington. Was it any wonder the Southern people did not harrah for the republican Ports which had robbed and stripped them of everything they had? In this way the republican party was to-day, by its deputy mar- shals, controlling the elections in the South, and its power was at this time uphoiding the MOST ATROCIOUS SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT that ever cursed a people free in name only. It was this that had caused sucha great upheaval of the populace which had culminated in the Cincin- nati movement. A history of the liberal movement in Missouri was then minutely detailed, and foliow- ing this a review of the liberal movement that began at Cincinnati, winding up with a concise statement of the grand work it had accomplished— namely, that the nation as well as the States, was about to be freed from the degrading and demoral- izing influences of fraud and corruption, He main- tained that THE CINCINNATI BANNER was the banner of the true republican party, and under that banner the people now marched for- ward, whether they were cal soreheads or reb- els, Referring to the speech of Secretary Boutwell, he quoted the remarks of that F leig en “You mw emigration.” He saw in coming through the State a great many empty places, and he eed they needed emigration; but he refuted the Secre- tary’s charge that the democratic party did not want emigration. To cause emigration induce- ments must be offered the emigrant, but oppres- sive taxation, which had been created by the plun- | dering carpet-baggers, was not the kind of inducement. The emigrant would need education, and for this means were also needed, but he could not see that the people WHO STOLE THE SCHOOL FUND ‘wero either the friends of emigration ar education— ors and cheers)—and the carpet-bag friends of Mr. Boutweil in this State had d thia, Social disorders had disappeared, and, unfler the vanner | Of tree republicanism, the haudg of the North aud South were about to be clasped across the chasm of the war, It was strat the Sec of the Treasury should have ‘advised you this.

Addressing hh to the republicans, he advised them to trust the ex-Confederate soldiers, instead of being suspicious and incredulous. Could there be a bet- ter evidence that they had accepted the issues of the war than that they now rallied around the ban- ner on which was inscribed the names of Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown? The day was not long yee since they had recognized the devotion of Mr. reeley to republican principles, He was THE PATHER OF ABOLITIONISM and the faithful friend of equal rights to all. The South, whose enemy he was, was now willing to lace the supreme power of the country in his nds, and what better evidence was needed that they accepted honestly and sincerely the results of the war and the great c gee growing out of it? Their flag was one flag and they were now standing shoulder to shoulder with the penne of the North in the true republican ranka, this was not suMicient those who de- manded more were dishonest themselves, showed they were grasping only for power. ADDRESSING THE COLORED PROPLE, of whom a iarge number were present, he said he was one of the first who advucated the elective franchise for them, They were now lifted up to the political level of the white citizens, and should learn to understand what their rights were. They wanted education, and wanted to know how to vote. These were the requirements they first needed. Now, giving these great rights of free- men, must not their friends, who fought to confer them upon them, be astonished when tney found them endeavoring to deprive themselves of these great privileges? Inthe capital of this very State acol- ored man had been actually mobbed by colored men simply because he announced that he intende® to support Mr. Greeley, the life-long friend of their race, for the Presidency of the United States, an honor to which no man is to-lay more entitled than he ig, What sort of an example was this to set thetr white neighbors? ‘This is the greatest crime you can possibly commit against lHberty and free- dom, Let them vote for whom er please ; culti- vate friendly relations with your white friends, or you can never live happy, if the white man is not your friend. If you want to secure the WELFARE AND HAPPINESS OF YOUR POSTERITY, never advocate either a white man or a black man's vernment, but let it be a govern- ment of both, The speaker considered it ob- noxious to the interest of the people that they should be grouped together in one party. Let every man vote as he pleases; but tf the colored vote, which is now so compact and solid. were divided between the two great political parties of the country, then both parties would be equally in- terested in the maintenance of your rights. Vote freely as your opinions dictate, and soon the coun- try will be restored to happiness and prosperity. The speaker then turned his attention to the CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS PRESENT, and said they knew a great change had taken place, and they were sensible that they had a solemn duty to their country to perform—the duty of a good citizen of the republic. He openly promeined it as his honest sentiment and feeling that there was the fullest confidence in the patriotism of the ex-Confederate soldiers. The orth was ready to clasp hands across the bloody chasm, the Secretary of the Treasury to the contrary notwithstanding. He admonished them that if armed bands of marauders were al- and lowed to use the whip to scourge the citizens, no | matter of what color, the liberals would not be able to stem the drifting channel of centralization, maintain social order and protect them in the liberties of the people and guard the principles of republicanism, If there are more recurrences of these disorders TAKE SWIFT AND RETRIBUTIVE MEASURES into ore hands, and let the federal government see that Confederate sokhers are not only able, but are willing and resolved that precious life and pro- perty shall be protected in W graces homes, in your counties and in every one of your States. Bein called upon for an explanation of Conkling’s and Grant’s denial that the administration had at- tempted to bribe him for his support of the St. Domingo annexation scheme, he took from his pocke' A LECTER OF THE FX-COMMISSIONER PLEASONTON, which he read, and which completely sustained his chat It has now, said the Senator, hecome a question of veracity between the President and Mr. Pleasonton. He concluded by saying an oj r- tunity had now offered to cement our friendships and relations. Let us clasp hands across the bloody chasm, and let it for all time become a union of States, a unton of hearts and a union of hands. (Cheers and great applause.) The meeting then broke up, when three times best were given for Carl Schurz with a right good will, NEW JERSEY POLITICS. u hPa AE The Liberals and Democrats—A Flank Movement on Colonel James Scovel.

Says the New Haven Register (Greeley) :—‘‘The country is convinced that a change ts absolutely | mecessary. The revolt is not confined to the leaders asin 1867; it extends to the rank and file, The tide is rising day by day and hour by howr. With such orators as Senator Sehurz in the. fleld, the republican ranks cannot be kept unbroken.

As pity ts said tobe akin to love the Sun had better take cane or some one may take oceasion to ingaire about who it really Intends to shine-for. The Eliza¥eth (N. J.) Herald (Greeley) ex- presses the well-grounded opinion that “there willbe no enduring peace at the South antil the negto vote is divided. Justice and humagity both require it, ana that will be on the high road of ae-~ complishment when Grant is defeated. Break the eharm of roilitary rule, show the colored voters that the republican party is fallible, and that they can no longer depend upon it, and they will be Teady to form associations according to political principles, and not ron biindly after a mere name.” CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION, MOCONNELLSBURG, Pa., July 27, 1872 The Republican County Convention towlay ag mi- nated Mr, Joun Cessua for Congress, THE LAST OF THE LOVE-FEASTS. Mr. Greeley’s Closing Soiree at Chappaqua— Speech of the Philosopher—His Views of Unfair Criticism. Quite a large number of ladies and gentlemen Presented themselves at the Chappaque farm yes- terday, to pay their parting respects to Philosopher Greeley and his family, in view of the sudden dis- continuance of his pleasant Saturday soirees. There were probably, after the arrival of all the trains and carriages, a hundrea and fifty persons on the ground. Among these were Clarkson N. Potter, member of Congress from the Westchester district; Mr. T. C. Everts, member of the Liberal Republican Committee; Professor Jackson, of Tarrytown; St. Olair McKelway, of Brook- lyn; Mr. Benjamin Willis, of the State Central Committee and a number of others less prominent, besides representatives of the datly and even of the Western press. Among the ladies present were Miss Wager, who first met Mr. Greeley at the trial of Jett Davis, and the beautiful Miss Everts, daughter of the delegate from Montana. After the usual PLEASANT SAUNTERINGS through the grounds luncheon was announced. It was a bountiful collation oven for the large force that attacked it, and was thoroughly disposed of. At the conclusion of the feast speeches on the pol- tical prospects and duties of the canvass were made by Clarkson N. Potter, Professor Jackson, Mr. Mc- Kelway and a number of others. MR, GREELEY’S SPEROH. Mr. Lambert, President of the Greeley and Brown Campaign Club, presided, and when the other gen- tlemen had finished speaking announced that Mr. Greeley would address them. Mr. Lambert, in introducing Mr. Greeley said :— FPrienps—Mr. Greeley himself may perhaps have something to say tous, He will not probably dis- cuss politics much, but no doubt he will talk very well on other subjects. Mr. Greeley was received with three uproarious cheers, and said: MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I once heard it remarked of an Irish barrister who was unlucky in ms speeches that every time he opened | his mouth he put his foot in it. There seems to be ® general fear that candidates—especially candi- dates for the Presidency—-may perform this feat, and they are therefore warned, wisely and consid- erately, doubtiess, not to talk, or at least not to say anything. But I venture to say one word at this last meeting of many of my cherished friends at this place. Those of you who have grown up into old Friends and neighbors of mine know the delight I have taken for the last twenty years in coming here one day out of seven. I have found a great deal of home comfort for the last twenty years in these Saturdays in my woods, and have needed the physical exercise which I obtained at these times with my bushhook and axe. I have found that. the exercise of trimming out my trees has been just enough occupation for the mind in these my mo- ments of recreation—trimming out the trees, not cutting them down, for I seldom have occasion to put the axe to the root of the tree. ‘This spring, however, new circumstances, which T dtd not expect, and which you probably did not expect, have arisen and made my name more than usually conspicuoua, and have made my little therings here assume a more extended field, ‘he friends that used to number five or six, or at the utmost eight, grew to be forty or fifty, and sometimes more, and it became necessary to dis- pense with all exercise. [had hoped it might still be agreeable to tender these weekly hospitalities to my friends, but I feel compelled to cease them, first, because of the critical condition of my wife’s health, and then, on account of the ill- natured and impertinent remarks of which a cer- tain journal has made them the subject. When any of us come into public prominence we are, of course, fair subjects of fair criticism. I am myself a fair subject of criticism, But conversations here, supposed in the natural order of things to be pri- vate, have been reported, and conversations fur- thermore which never took place have been re- ported, and statements have been made and means taken to obtain information of the proceedings here, which are not consistent with honorable or truthful journalism. It has, therefore, been deemed expedient to dis- continue our pleasant meetings here. [ trust they have been pleasant to: all. The past, at least, is safe, however we may lack the same pleasures in the future. Since there is no protection on our own premises from malicious talebearers we will mect elsowhere. But after a time, when the election is over and the asperities of a bitter canvass do not, call for such misrepresentatious, it will be nobody's interest, nobody will feel bound to hunt us out here, and [ pope then to meet you here once more, and many times. ‘The objections to a-candidate's talking are not usually founded on what tney may say, but on the possibility of their being misrepresentea. A few nights ago I ventured where some college men were having a social dinner. I was requested to say a few words about education. I proposed in my remarks that the system of free education should be adopted vy each State, such as our own State of New York, Connecticut and several netgh- boring States have adopted, and the next day it was pigiee that I had favored the general educa- tion of the people by the federal government—the establishment of a paternal system of education for the people of all the States—at Washington. Thus a twist—a misconception—is given to all my remarks, My voice will not: be heard among you for many months again, But after election we will renew our pleasant meetings here, and in the meantime I hope and pray for your happiness and prosperity. Mr. Greeley then retired from the grounds, accom- panied by his daughter Ida, and after a song by the Chappaqua chirruper, Mr. Burnett, the crowd dis- persed to the depot. Mr. Greeley came down on the train, and went to the house ofa friend for the evening. THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.

A contin- uous hum of conversation was kept up, and the latest developments iu the news from each State were fully and freely canvassed, Gentlemen from the central, western and northern sections of New York concurred in the most Naftering reports regard- ing the progress of the canvass in their respective districts in favor of the philosopher of Chappaqua, and Colonel Johnson and the other secretaries were constantly. busy in reading and answering com- munications tendering: sympathy, advice and sup- port from moce distant: portions of the country. Several colored gentlemen, including orators from the South, who have been agitating the freedmen in favor of their old-time champion Greeley, arrived | during the afternoon and evening, and entertained the habitués of the place with anecdotes of their experiences on the stump. THE IDA GRERLEY GRAYS. A circular letter dated at Baltimore July 25, addressed to. Ethan Allem and signed by, A. EB. Forrester, F. P. Stevens: and ten others, an- nounces the formation of a club, “first class” in character and. membership, “which, it is hoped, will be made a featare of the campaign,” and which, in honor of Mr. Greeley's daughter, is to. be called the “Ida Greeley Grays.” It is. supposed ‘these clubs will become very popu- lar, but this will doubttess depend upon the taste of oung men throughout the country who agpire to be ranked a8 “first class.’ FROM THR; OLD NORTH STATE.
