(Subdued murmurs.) “The fearful ordeal of swallowing it seemed worse to J——n D——-+# than swallowing Horace himself: @—1 S——-z adjusted his spectacies nervously, and the Baltimore colored convert rolled his eyes round until they met the stern glance of C——s S8——r, who seemed about to rige to a point of order on the question of his invaded civil rights, The feelings of ‘the Irish patriot who sat on the left of Horace may be better imagined than described, He would sooner have guiped down the whole British constitution ‘than let one drop of the spiritiess compound pass bis tips. But HORACE WAS WIDE AWAKE, and rising, observed :— “It seems 10 me, gentlemen, that the spark- ‘Mng beauties of sarsaparilia are unknown to you. Now J have drank it for thirty years, and although it comes from bark I know it has no bite, (Ghostly merriment.) When 1 ac. cepted the nomination at Cincinnati I agreed to let pig iron be settied by the States, so 1 won't be pig- headed about sarsaparilia, Let every gentioman, ‘hen, decide for himself what he'll take.” (Ap Plause.) It is hardly necessary to catalogue the various beverages ordered by cach of the illustrious com- pany. Corks popped, fizzings were heard, and a auge bow! of delicious claret punch lay in its rubi- mess in the centre. Mint juleps, Santa Cruz sours, brandy punches, whiskey straight and gin and sugar combined to fill the atmosphere with aro- matic fragrance. The Philosopher stuck to his Sarsaparilia. His cye gustened and his whole man- mer changed. C—-] S——z passed around bis @igar case, and happiness floated visibly on apale flue cloud over the exalted gathering. Toasts were drunk in rapid succession, Horace was »ealled on to reply to THE TOAST OF THE UNION. We did so. “Drawing forth a roll of manuscript ‘from his pocket, he remarked :— GENTLEMEN—You know I’m something of a poet, ‘uke my ancient namesake, who Was a farmer, too, for the fun of the thing, His great work, “What 1 Know About Poetry,” is nearly as great an authority as “What I Know About Farming,” and since whey have both been published “Hints from Horace” are plenty as office seckers, [Cheers and mutter- ings.) To the toast of the Union J will respond with the xlv. ode, slightly altered. 1 take for my text:— © navies referent in mare te novi Fluctus? Horace then, with a banjo obligato from the col- ered convert, sang as follows:— i ODE 1.—AD REMPUBLICAM, noe more upon the waves old ship, tm rather balmy weather, ‘We hoist the fag and cable slip, Four years to sail together.

He called for a fresh brew, and» after sipping it, laid it dreamily before him, THE COLORED CONVERT bounced to his feet, and said:— GeMMEN—Dar’s no use a talkin’, ha! ha! but dis whips eberyting.

Horace ina clear, shrill votce then carolled :— “Ivit in urbem Greelius, Castoris colon Sedet super asinum Et dixit macearoni.”’ “Now for the English,” said he, swallowing a bot- tle of sarsaparilia to clear his throat:— ODE 111,—COMPARATUS, Ulysses Cesar comes to town On a war horse bony, Caracoling up and down, O’er the pavements stony; But I shall ride a mild jackass, Lured onward by 8 carrot; His bray will tell you when I pass From casement up to garret.

The bold contrast between the present President and “the next,” so much in favor of the latter: charmed the convives, who shouted their congratu- lations at the blushing sage, whose face shone like animbus around the goblet of sarsaparilia he was draining. At this period of the festivities an event occurred of more than ordinary significance. The huge bowl of claret punch had been replenished, and C—s S——r and J—f D——s, who were sitting vis 4 vis with the bow] between them, arose solemnly, and ladled out a glass each of the sanguine-tinted fuid. Stretching across the bowl they then SHOOK HANDS OVER THE BLOODY CHASM. The act was the signal for tumultuous applause, and exubcrant delight was manif ested. C—1 S——=z now arose, in his usual graceful manner, and pronounced a beautiful oration, which we are reluctantly compelled to leave out, for Horace was again on his pins, and gave a toast ‘to the steady, induatrious, sober German element,” and volunteered to respond himself, Not wishing to jose one word of the Sage’s wisdom, the company requested him to prdgee' CO-WORKERS (he said)—This auspicious occasion should sow the seeds Of great good to the ticket. (Bully.) Itis meet, therefore, that every class of our citizens to whont an a peas must be made should catch the fragrance of this gathering in a manner acutely appreciable. + J have, therefore, prepared & triad of songs, I have not compbitied the subject “in one harmonious whole,” because oi and water should not be asked to mix in poetry’ @8Y more than in manufacturing sardines. I have kept them apart Non ut Serpentes avibus geminentur, tigribus agai. My first, then, in honor to the toast I have the Pleasure to respond to is ODE IV.—AD GERMANOS, Where is das Deutcher's Vaterland?

No Excise laws shall efer stand While Horace rules de Vaterland, “Hoch alles hoch!” cried C——1 S—z with en- thusiasm, amid the jingling of the glasses. Horace poured the sarsaparilia from one tumbler to another #0 a8 to make It 100k like lager with a Head on it; but it was no go. “If it's in regular ordher,” eaid the Trish patriot, “7 call on the ould man for a stave or two to stir me and my countrymen up a bit.” “Wid a heart an’ a halt,” said Hoiace, blandly. The great man then toned down bis voice to a most soothingly seductive pitch and crooned out:— ODE V.—AD GRECOS OCCIDENTALES, Come all ye bould Milesians And listen unto me, Sure Ireland is toe greatest land That ever man did see, he was thoroughly in earnest, and between the songs and the rum sangaree it was little wonder. ‘The philospher caught the wild inspiration of the moment, and jumping on his chalr swayed his noble body to and fro in an almost natural ecstacy.

When Horace jumped down after-this remarkable Performance he snatched at the first glass that came in. his way. The Irish patriot on his left did the same. The philosopher had GULPED A STRONG WHISKEY PUNCH before he knew what was the matter, and the pa- triot had engulfed a pint of sarsaparilla. A torrent of blasphemies flowed from the philosopher as he splattered out the asphyxiating liquid, while the Gisgust of the patriot at defiling his mouth with such stuff vented itself in a decided but milder form. In the midst of this scene it was announced that the guests must hurry to catch the train. A general rush followed down the hill, the philosopher being left still swearing. The last object, however, which caught the eye of the happy hasteners was the form of the colored convert on the brow of a hil, still keeping up the refrain, “Horace, you am calling,” in stentorian tonos, while his huge feet, as they kicked and plunged around the horizon, Occasionally cut off the little sunlight remaining from the sinking orb of day. THE LIBERAL HEADQUARTERS, Movements of Mr. Grecley’s Business at the Glenham,. Philosopher Greeley went to St. Ignatius’ church (Dr. Ewer) on Sunday, and, after waiting patiently through the long ritualistic ceremony, took his way to Dr. Baird’s, on Fortieth street, where he dined, In the afternoon he visited the Lincoln Club, where he met Governor Kimball, of Maine, and had @ consultation of some length with him. Then he read bis large batch respondence, after which he repaired to the house of a _- friend in Brooklyn, where he proposes to remain in close seclusion until Thursday. It is probable that on Friday he will go to East Hampton, Long Island, where he has taken @ cottage for himself and family.

C., July 29, 1872, ‘The mass meeting held to-day at the commercial centre of North Carolina, the birth-place of Amerl- can independence and the home of Zebulon Vance, Was the largest yet held during this most exciting of political campaigns. The people of the city turned out en masse, and every train from other Places swelled the crowd by hundreds, It was such an audience as is seldom seen even in a popu- lous city. The speakers’ stand was erected in a grove of oaks, a century old, in the Presbyterian church yard, which is a plot of ground occupying a whole square. It was decorated with a profusion of flowers and evergreens, portraits of the liberal- republican candidates and appropriate inscriptions wrought in cedar md box. On the platform were seated many prominent gentlemen, a portion of which was also occupied by a brass band. Imme- diately in front were the inspiring faces of HUNDREDS OF YOUNG LADIES OF CHARLOTTE, white the crowd of voters entirely filled the grove, The \Mue coats and brass buttons of federal soldiers in fatigue uniform were a novel feature of the meet- ing; but their wearers attended simply as spec- tators. The speakers were greeted with cheers by the crowd and “Dixie” by the band. Just before the speaking commenced considerable enthusiasm ‘was created by the arrival of a delegation of several hundred trom points on the Gaston branch of tne Atlanta and Richmond air line, on a special teain furnished by the Superintendent, Major P. A. Wel: ford, a former citizen of Richmond, The meeting ‘was called to order by Major Armistead Burwell, President of the Charlotte Greeley Club, who, in a spirited speech, introduced the several speakers. GOVERNOR WALKER'S REMARKS, Governor Walker was the first. He was received with great applause. He spoke of his kindly greet- ing, of the good will and kindly feeling which has ever bound the Old Dominion and the old North State together. He came togay on behalf of the people of Virginia that they had unfurled their ban- ner and invited the people of North Carolina to join with them in bearing it aloft to victory. Upon that banner is inscribed, “Peace and good will to all men,” and Horace Greeley for President. (Applause.) And the first part of that inscription is butasynonym for the second, He then referred to the pending State election In North Carolina as a contest of more ‘immediate importance to the citizens of that State. A party styling itself republican has for several years controlled the administration, and has dragged North Carolina down from the high position she once occupied among the free com- monwealths of the world, until her hitherto untar- nished name became a byword and a disgrace. THE OUTRAGES OF THE RADICALS had been so great that the people were driven into taking the power into their own hands and exer- cising the God-given right of self-protection. These outrages, combined with an inefMcient administra- tion, gave rise to Ku Kluxism, He was not here to defend the Ku Klux or violence of any kind; but he did not hesitate to say, as the Chief Magistrate of the grandest old State in the Union, that when the men whom they have placed in power fail go utterly to do their duty, he hoped to God the peo- Ple would take the government into their hands, (Applause.) He firmly believed that the outrages which led to Ku Kiuxism were a part of a grand plan of the radicals at the North to keep the Northern heart inflamed and to radicalize the whole country, but whether they were the result of deliberate and malicious forethought or of the jorance, cowardice and dishonesty of radical Have Officials, North Carolina is today ‘ing in the dust, and it remaivs for her people to redeem ng on Thursday next, (Voices, “We will do it.’ Virginia lov: rd eagerly a2td Wj ttl confidence for the Tonkit. ihe GOVBrDOr the to the bearing 1 the Noréii CAVO}DA gocher ee was Res Ing Dationalcontest. + ec OF yaubveaad ire the FIRST GUN WW Tite wan.

In the great con- test in which we are now engaged the re 't of local self-government is to be vindicated and the federal government restored to its pristine purity, and the newly-coined phrase ‘local self-government’ means nothing more than the old-fashioned State rights. The «doctrine of centralization was even more dangerous that that of secession, Each in- volved destruction of the Union. Endorsement of the administration in November is another step towards the establishment of a despotis at Washington, He — closed by an eloquent appeal to the people bag db: their suffrages such an endorsement. After whic! he introduced Carl Schurz, as one of the greag apos- ties of the new movement for liberty and honest government, Governor Walker's speech was one of great ability. He was loudiy applauded, CARL SCHURZ'S SPEECH. Senator Schurz was conducted to the front by Captain J. C. Mills, who eulogized him in nig! terms. The General commenced b: saying that he did not propose to amuse his audience by anec- dotes, or entertain them with figures of rhetoric ad- dressed to the imagination. [le wished to make use of plain argument intended to convince the honest inquirer atter political truth, His auditois were requested to imagine, if wid could, that they had never belonged to a political party. Viewing the political situation trom this standpoint, he thought that all must understand that frem the close of the war to this time the most desirable ob- ject has been a complete reconciliation between the people iately engaged in a deadly confict, To this end the fret thing neceseary Was a consti- tutional provision War, and guarding mbodying the results of the it reactionary moveme! pe the next if was desirable (> snow to the lace extent the beneficence of the gencral rl. ernment, Whatever is the dic of that government cannot stand in the long run, save oF the at imporauen ere tat fe, Bose of the first 01 , re, ie ° ern people shoul be ne Reveals 48 pos- sibe the sting of defeat, and le to work with the victors in developing the neW order of things or, as the phrase is, pt the situation.

Such had been the nature of those services that none would hardly question the rigtt to call himself a republican in the best sense of the word, Had the course he marked out been followed it would have had a powerful and salutary effect upon the Southern heart. The re- rublican pores Bed eat opportunitics—duties ap- es @ noblest ambition of the human eart—but it had proved inefficient in the hour of its highest prosperity and promise. It SAVED THE UNION, FREED THE SLAVE, it enfranchised a race long in bond: but it was —— of sol the great problem of recon- cillation and had not made the Southern people sat- isfled with the new order of seg Senator Schurz then reviewed at length the tory of the 4 liberal republican Movement and showed the ne- cessity for ite apenp isaeion Not until the Cincinnati movement had assumed forinidable roportions, and then when it could no longer refused with impunity did the republican party pass an act of amnesty, and then they gave only such @ measure of it as Shepoonies get om with. Amnesty, he repeated, was the first great victory of the Cincinnati movement. He then showed that the policy of the republican party had been the reverse of what might have been expected: the parly had in a national manner sustained the governments of robbers in the South by patronage, and had been themselves allies and abettors, So far from having restored constitutional government, the constitu- tion was never more severely dealt with than in the last four or five years, He spoke not of the constitutional amendments, but the abuse of power » the federal government in all its branches, ‘The President had taken the war power into his own hands, given orders to the Secretary of the Navy to sustain BY FORCE OF SHOT AND SHELL a foreign government in a real estate speculation and members of the republican party wi 10 opposed him were denounced as traitors to the party. It is the theory of the President that laws are very well for the governed, but should not affect the gov- ernors. The Secretary of the Treasury having to ne- gatisye a loan was authorized to pay 80 much; he, nowing the law, pays more without any compunc- tion, and Congress aye it makes no difference if he aid Glareypre the law if he meant right. The Secretary of- the Navy 8 @ contractor a large amount of money, although it ted ed pro- hibited by law. An investigation is held and he is acquitted, because, forsooth, he held that the con- tractor was cqually entitled to the money. SELLING ARMS TO FRANCR. The Secretary of War sells arms and munitions of war to the agents of a foreign country in flagrant violation of law, and the republican majority in Congress says, when it is complained of, that if the oMcere of the army think it 13 better to break a law than obey, they may do so. When abuse after abuse is revealed and _ investigations held, the result is either studious concealment or whitewashing where possibie, and when both are impossible the crime is openly justified, while over the whole is thrown the gloss of civil service re- form, with which they attempt to delude the coun- try.. When he ress he denounced these things in his piace in Congress he was amazed at the daring with which the facts were denied and the most un- scrupulous and manifest wrongs PS ard and at the dastardly courage with which the RIGHT WAS CALLED WRONG, He ealled it dastardly courage, because it was a mean coreg.

There are office-holders here -day, he said;—I ask you, in all fairness, whether there is one of you who calls his soul his own? You must know that you are slaves of the administration; you dare not raise your finger, much less your Voice, against those who lord it over — The slightest symptom of dissatisfaction would cause the chopping off your head; your party has sacrificed every moral princt- le for the HA as of party power.

The crowd showed its appreciation of Boutwell’s imi ry castigation by most enthu- siastic applause. utwell thought, he said, that the only way to bridge the bloody chasm was by the re-election of Grant; but how could the republican party expect Southern recruits when they thus repel the hand of reconciliation? No party has a right thus to stand in Pay. of the public wel- fare. The speaker said he never felt so confl- dent of the success of the liberal republican move- ment as since he came to North Carolina and con- trasted the agrees: here in conflict, The one party, elated by the consciousness of fighting in a good cause, is composed in @ great measure of men lately in arms against-their country, but who have now laid down their arms, and with them laid down all old prejudices and resent ments.

C., July 29, 1872, On entering the cars at Greensboro last night while en route hore, the first glad spectacle that met my eyes was the robust, fine physique of the: conservative candidate for the Governorship.. Gracefully reposing in @ recumbent position on a reclining chair, the lamp light felt full upon his upturned face, the well cast features -of which wore a calm and placid expression and beamed. with an infant's smile, giving ample assurance that no dreams of republican euecesses disturbed his sweet repose.’ Judge Mervimon isin the prime of both his physi- cal and intelfectual manhood, about forty years of | age, tall and commanding in appearance, hand- some, clean shaved faced, which is lit by a bright. and beautiful hazel eye, surmounted by a broard, high forehead that betokens rare powers of mind. He had been home to spend the Sabbath with his. family. and was again on his way to re- sume the arduous labors of the canvass, and weary with incessant travel he slept soundly, evenin a railroad car, until within a few miles of the station where he was to get off, at half-past two o'clock in the morning. As soon as he had rubbed his eyes, stretched himself and yawned until he was fairly awake the Hera.p correspondent presented him- eelf and was cordially shaken by the judicial hand. Seating myself beside him quite a conversation fol- lowed, which I found most refreshing to those viewing matters from the Judgo’s political stand- point. ° pe AN INTERVIEW WITH MERRIMON. CorrEsPoN peNT—Judge, how goes the canvass 7 JupcE—Well, it is the most thorough, complete and active canvass that has ever taken place. Not @ hole or corner has been left Into which speakers have not penetrated; not 2 man, woman orchild in the Commonwealth has escaped, and the result is that there never was @ people 80 aroused and en- thused as are the conservatives of North Carolina to-day. CoRRESPONDENT—Your canvass has beew latterly in the west, which is regarded as the. doubtful part ofthe State. Whatare our prospects in that sec- tion ? JuDGE—I never regarded the West as doubtfols the white vote will be largely increased, and when I say the white vote I mean the conservative- liberal vote. We will carry nearly every county in the West except Rutherford, Po and enveland, the counties where the United States de uty mar- shals have endeavored to intimidate the young men by THE TERRORISM OF INDICTMENTS under the Ku Klux law. RRESPONDENT—Do you think many votes will be changed by this means? JUDGE—No, sir, Ido not; our: Mey men cannot be driven and forced to vote the radical .ticket by, threats. We will not lose a great many more than’ one hundred votes in each conn ty. and Fgmen that would have polled them have fled their homes to escape federal persecution. CoRRESPONDENT—Has there been much of this sort of intimidation in the State ? : ! Jupor—I am informed there has, and Tam inclined to believe it, too; they are using every means to carry this election, whether b: (SC bribery and fraud, Caldwell end friends are frightened, and as the election approaches. they are more desperate than ever.

CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY EXPECTED, CoRRESPONDENT—What do you think your. ma- jority will bey JupbcE—Our majority in the Stats will beyond a question be from twelve to fifteen thousand. Ican- not believe it will be any less, and. 1 have every confidence in the information I have re- ceived, whichis backed by my own personal and individual experience. Our vote will bo latgel; increased in the east, in the middie of the State an in the west, while the radical white vote will not be increased in the slightest degree. They will not poll near the convention vote of last year, andl do not think the negro vote will be near so large as it has been at any election before. CoRRESPONDENT—Some of your conservative friends are not s0 sanguine as you are? Jupge—I know that they our majority as ranging from five to ten thousand, but | am gatis- fied we will beat that. ‘se RBPUBLICAN anc Lassons, va RRESPONDENT—The republicans also ¢) ey will carry the State. ond Jupar—Yes, but the majorities they mame are 80 ridiculous and absurd that I cun scareely believe they mean what they say.
