THE HON, LUCIUS 0. (, LAMAR. Political Aairs Reviewed by the Dis- tinguished Mississippian. Republican Responsibility for Southern Discontent. QV ARRAIGNMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION. Wasuincton, August 2, 1876, ‘The House to-day went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Clymer, of Pennsylvania, in the chair), the object being to take up and act upon the bill to provide tha; pensions shall dato from the death or disability of the soldier, but the Chairman decided (and bis decision ‘was sustained) thatesch Dill preceding it on the cal- endar must first be disposed of or set aside, The first Dillon the ealendar was that to transfer the Indian Bureau from the Interior Department to the War De- partment. Mr. Wilson, (rep.) of Iowa, moved its postponement, Dut the House refused to postpone it, and Mr, Cook, (dem.) of Ga., who had charge of the bill, yielded the floor to Mr. Lamar, (dem.) of Misa,, who proceeded to make a speech on political subjects. ; He commenced by saying that it could not be truth- fully asserted that the practice and the peculiar system of measures adopted by the present administration commanded the approbation of a majority of the people; but that, on the contrary, the senti- ment on which the American people re- garded the conduct of nutional affairs was pone of very decided dis faction and despon, dency, accompanied with a strong and intense desire of & change. ‘There wasa deep and anxious protes, against the methods of administration, the tone and character of public service and the principles of legisla- tion that had marked the action of the government for many years past, and yet it was rsmarkable that vhis popular feeling had produced no change in the administration. WHAT ENGLAND WOULD HAVE DONE. Such a development of public sentiment in England ‘would have produced achange in the administrative agencies of the government within twenty-four hours, He attributed the absence of reform to the principle of acentralized party organization, which garrisoned the country with 100,000 office holders and 100,000 expect- ants ot office, KESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTY. He quoted from a speech of Dir, Sanford, in the re- cent Republican State Convention of Massachusetts, in arraignment of the administration, which speech, he said, if it Nad been made by a democrat, would have eeu regarded as a gross partisan exaggeration; and yet that Convention and 1# members were in active Co-operation with the very administration thus char- acterized and held up to public reprehension in Bupport of A political party which had endorsed that administration and had in return been endorsed by it. It was utterly impossibie that the reiorms de- sired could be effected by coptinuing in power that party whose debasement of the civil service of the country and whose corruption of the adiministravon were the things to be reformed, Tho success of that purty would give impunity to the corrupt practices that are the subject of such universal condemnation. Bat it was said that the advent of the democratic party to power would endanger the permanency of tho new institutions establisued by the war, and there was an appreliension that what was failed the Southern sectional combination, would be brought back, and, therefore, people were not prepared, lor the mere sake of correcting the diorders of the Administration, to put these institutions imto the hands of those who were originally oppoted to their establishment. He appreciated the valuo of these grave apprehensions. THK RESULTS OF THE WAR ACCEPTED. Ho would spouk, however, in behalf of a people who bad accepted with sincerity the resuits of the war; who felt that they had on them the burden of recover- ing the contidencsf the nation, and who also teit as- Bured that with a better knowiédge of their purposes aud motives they would receive that taith and conii- dence which is hecessary to bind together the various sections of tho Republic in the bonds of peace—a Pouce which in these days of party discord be feared was almost past understanding. He did not believe that the apprebension growing out of the united sup- port by the Soutoern people of the demooratic party was well founded, or that it should siand in the way of tho aspirations of a great people for progress and re- form. The idea that the South, under any combina- tion of parties or circumstances, would ever again ob- tain control of this great Republic and wield ite des- tinies against the will and instinct of this mighty peo- plc, Wis of all ideas the most visionary aod baseless. the people of the South were prostrate, Thoy bad beon defeated in war, and made to feel that the sacri- five and bumiliation and jeiplessness of defeat bad Deen allotted to them as their share, while the people of the north had reaped the rich results of a victorious war, and bad embodied and guaranteed them in the ‘very life and constitution of the nation. : CONDITION OF THX SOUTH. The institutions of the South had been scattered and Gestroyed. Her industries had vcen disorganize every foot of her soil sterilized vy an ail-devouring tax- ation; her educational interests languishing and wan- Ing, and her population was too feeble in comparison with that of the great Union; that with the South united, blacks and whites, it would be impotent to secure'a single Southern man or to defend a singie Bouthern interest, lt was, therefore, absuru ior a great people to apprehend that the people of the South abrogated to theinselves the ruling of the interests ot the nation. There was no aspiration which they bad that was not bounded by the borizon of the Union. If they were united with ihe democratic party it was not for the purpose of sectional aggrandizement, It was not forthe purpose of reversing the policy of the overnment, but it was because they had observed aa stinctive and imperative law of self-preservation. THE DEMOCRATS AND THE SOUTH. He proceeded to argue against the idea thatthe ac- cession to power of the democratic party would guspend the supervision of the national government over the conduct of affairs in the Soath, and that ‘b suspension would imperil the rights of the colored race. He quoted trom a speech made by Senator (then Gov eraor) Morton, of Indiana, im 1865, against conferring franchise on the colored race and in favor of postpon- ing their political rights for ten, fitteen or twenty years, at which tin, he argued, the Southern States would have been s0 completely filed up by immigration™trom the North and from En- rope that the negroes would be in a permanent minor- ity. If that distinguished statesman away up in Indi- bad such a view of the eflect of negro citizenship what must have been the uppaiied teeliog of Southern society on which that avalanche was to be let loose? ‘Was it to be wondered at that the people of the South wt that time endeavored to save themselves from that shock. He claimed, however, that after that system became fasiened upon them, and they had striven earnestly and honestiy to give it a fair and tuil development, and that they might have succeeded in some degree but for the measares whi h had been adopted in consequence ot the conflict between Congress and President Johnson, dhe worst of which measures was the establishment of the Freedmen’s Bureau, which had cut the two races right asunder, Th. inevitable efiect of that recoustruc- lion policy bad been to aay one race to its support and drive the other race to 118 opposition. He quoted Gib- bon, the bistorian, as saying that tbe most absurd and oppressive system of government which could be con ceived of was that which subjected the native of a country to the domination of his slave; aud aiso quoted trom Joon Stuart Mill, vo the effect that when a gov- troment is administered by rulers not responsibie to the people governed, but to some otner com. unity, it was one of the worst of con- teivable goveruments; and, he said that the hideous yystemn es thea in’ Ure South was « composite ot these two vicious systems; the people were sulyected jo the domination of their former slaves, and were ruled over by people whose constituents were not the people for whom they should act, but the federai government TE LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION. He quoted from the report of the Louisiana Investi- tion Committee of last Congress, made by Mr. Foster, Uhie, and expres bis ast ment at hearing that gentleman ciaim credit the other day for having made ® report which bore heavily on his party. Was it a condition of republican success, | he asked, that the country should be told that there was murder and intimidation on the part of the white people of Louistana against the blacks, when the facts were not sof Pid it bear hard upon ‘the republican party to state there was no such Blate of jawlessness and intimidation among a people who wero writhing under all ot the oppression which corruption coaid invent? He also quoted irom the Subsequent report, made on the same rubject by the other sub-committee whiéh went to New Oricans, Messrs Hoar, Frye, and Wheeler; and from the Pros fen’s annual message, in which he acknowledge that the people of the South haa had vik And oppressive government to live under, and hy asked Low it could be expected to find qaict, orderiy, law-abiding communtiies whose governors were law. jess felovs, whose ministers were thieves and whose wagistrates were scoundrels, THR RACE PROBLEM. This race problem was pot incapable of solution, 9 statesmen such 4s ‘d Derby aud Earl Russell yould settio it in three days, The people of the South q@ould be content to withdraw from participation in the ‘Presidential election it they could fo so and let the people of the North elect a President, but they could not impose on themselves a stolid in- activity. Ail thas they wanted tn uniting with tne democratic party Was not to rale owl not to dictate policy, not to control the interests of the coun- wy, but they wanted ® representative share ot the ponsibilities and beneite of a common govern ent according to the measure of thoi popa- avon aud Face. They were .now co-operating with (he democraite party under a dire and inexorable cossity, und only in the hope of getting an adm! avon that would not be unfriendly to them, U would not feel itself commissioned to execute rei nent and oppression Upon them. They wanted to get an udminisivation which im place of tho forces of conquest, subjegation and domination woul give them J NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2 1876.-WITH SUPPLEMENT. a amnesty and restoration to tne privi! of American citizenship—an administration which would allow their. States the same equal rights as other States; which would allow them equality of consideration, equality of authority, juris- diction over their own aflairs, exemption from the domination of election by bayonets—that would give them local self-government, and then the country could last see the no of i oe in all the in- justrial enterprises of the North; it would see a trae Southern renatssance--a real grand re- construction of the South.

Mr. Lamar spoke for about two hours, his time having been extend commended throughout his whole speech t and interested attention of the House, He 1s to be replied to by Mr. Garfleid, who obtained the floor for that purpose. The committee then rose. ‘Yne House then, at twenty minutes past five o'clock, adjouracd, THE IMPEACHMENT. REPORT OF THE MANAGERS PRESENTED TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. —SPRECHES BY MR. HOAR AND MR. LAPHAM. Wasnmatox, August 2, 1876, In the House of Representatives to-day Mr. Lord, of Now York, on behalf of the impeachment managers, submitted the following repor t:— ‘Tbe managers on the part of the House to conduct the impeachment against William W. Belknap, late Secretary of War, respectfully report that the de- fendant, William W. Belknap, has been acquitted on the articles presented against him, less than two-thirus of the Senators present voting ‘‘guilty.’’ The final vot was 62 Thirty-seven of the Senators voted “guilty ;”? twenty three “not guilty.” For want of jurisdic. tion—one “not guilty,’? and one criticised a portion of the articles of impeachment, and stated that the offences charged in other of the articles were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt, The question of jurisdiction raised oy the plea of the defendant was ‘the first point presented to the Court of Impeachment, After a protracted and exhaustive argument the court held that it had jurisdiction, notwithstanding the resignation of the defendant, and the imanagors proceeded to prove the offences charged in the articles ot impeachment; and after proving them so conciu- sively that only two Senators In any manner ques- tioned the guilt of the defendant the minority of the Senate retused to be governed by the deliberate judg- ment of the majority that it had jurisdietion, and in the form and mode before referred to prevented the conviction of the defendant. While exer- cising tho power to vote ‘not guilty” It was practically agserted that there was no converse ,to the proposition, and, therofore, that Senators had no legal right to vote ‘‘guilty,” however satisfied of the guilt of the accused, Notwithstanding this result tho manag- ers bell that great good will accrue irom the im- peachment and trial of the defenaant, It has been setiled thereby that persons who have held civil office under the United States are impeachable, and that the Senate has jurisdiction to try them, although years may elapse be‘ore the discovery of the offence or of fences subjecting them to impeachment. To such as are or may hereafter be among the — civil officers ot the United — States who have no higher plane of integrity than the ralo that “honesty is the best policy,” and it is conceded they are comparatively few, this decision will be &@ constant warning that impeachable offences, though not discovered for years, may result im impeachment, conviction and public disgrace, To settle ‘this principle, so vitally. .mport- ant in securing the rectitude of the class of officers roferred to, is worth infinitely more than all the time, labor and expense of tho protracted trial closed by the verdict of yesterday. The tral and its discussions have presented to the public mind clearer views of official accountability and developed the high- or requirements of an advancing public sentiment, All of which 18 respectfully submitted. The report was ordered printed. SPBECH BY MR. HOAR. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, supported the report of tho managers. He said that an investigation into the parliamentary history of impeachment would satisly everybody that the right to impeach any executive offi- cer, as loug as that person lived, whether in or out of office. was one of the greatest safeguards of pure constitutional popular govervment, He went on tok “Whatever may be the result of this trial to the individual who has beeo impeached at the bar of the Senyto, whatever may be tue valno to him of pre- serving the right to bo a candidate for public office be foro hie fellow citizens, this great constitutional power of this House has been vindicated ana preserved by the decision of the great constitutional court before which the charge was made and will be sustained by that more powerful, more per- manent, more august decision, the opinion of the ‘American people, lhave been ina position to know Dy very exteusive personal correspondence and cou- versation the opinion of large numbers of the jurists of the country, who are not engaged ip political hfe, and, almost without exception, the judgment of the profession of law, of the Bench and of the Bar correspond with the judgment of the House. I believe that the effect of the decision will be that there will not be in the history of this country for years to come a repetition of such an offence on tho part of a Cabinet or other high executive officer, and I believe that this Rouse, ‘without distinction of party, will pe grateiul to the per- sons Who have set in motion thé mechanism for pun- ishing this offence. A STRIKING PACT. Mr. Larnam, of New York, another of the impeach- ment managers, sad:—I am'very far from having any desire or purpose to question the integrity or action of any Senator tn voting on the question of guilty or not guilty in the case of Mr. Belknap, but I desire, in view ot the extraordinary position taken by the Sen- ators who voted not guilty, to call attention to a striking fact presented by the record in this case. On the 7th of June last, the Senate, alter hearing the discussion on the part of the counsel, retired in secret for the purpose of con- sultation, ang unanimousiy, so far as I can learn—for thero 18 no dissent apparent in the record—agreed on the order that, on the 6th of July, 1876, tho Senate woald proceed'to hear evideuce on the merits, In pursuance of that order the Senate, om the 6th of July, entered on the trial, and the Senators who have at last voted ‘‘Not guilty’ were present and participated in the procecdings, voted on questions of Teception of evidence, heard arguments of counsel, and now at last, when tho final vote 1s taken, they occupy the, to ine, anomalous position of saying, “All this is eoram non judice and void. Wo have no right to act, we havo no jurisdiction to take evidence, and, there- fore, we vote ‘Not guilty.’ To my mind ‘that 18 non sequitur, 1 think that the position taken by the Senator from Florida (Mr. Jones), that while he believed the Senate bad no jurisdiction he could not vote at all on the question of guilt or innocence, was much more consistent for Senators to have taken. Having called the attention of the House, and through the House the country, to the position assumed by tho who have voted on the question, I have dis- charged the only duty which seems incumbent on mo in the case. MURAT HALSTEAD ON HENDRICKS. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, August 1.) Saratoga, N. Y., July 31, 1876, It 1s proper to say that Governor Hendricks does not acknowledge avy change of heart or principles on the money question, though it 1s fair to say that he is un- derstood to admit that recent studies have given him some additional light. e holds that he has never been a soft money man as the phrase is interpreted by his democrat'c friends of New York. He is claimed to be in full harmony with this wing of his party. His letter of acceptance has, 1 am informed, been read to several friends to-day and pronounced good. MM. H. ANDREW H. GREEN FOR GOVER- NOR. A club was lat night organized in tho Seventh As- sembly district having for its object the election of Comptroller Green as Governor of this State. Mr. W H. Stevens was elected President, and resolutions were adopted to the effect that tho assembly ‘earnestly recommend a8 the nomination for the oflice of Governor of the State of New York the Hon. Acdrew H. Green as the proper successor ot tho great reform Executive, Samuel J, Tilden, feeling assured that in his bands, if elected, the noble work of the purifica- tion of our State affaira, so ably begun, will be carried to a successful jasue,’* A committee of five was appointed to confer with other organizations throughout the State having the saine object in view.

MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF ‘THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE YES- TERDAY. i The Executive Committee of the National Committee of the republican party held their first meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon, The com- mittee consists of sixteen members, and of this six- teen the following wero present at the meetin; ‘Lach- ariah Chandler, of Michigan; William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire; William H. Kemble, of Pennsylvania; Marsball Jeweil, of Connecticut; Will Cumback, of Indiana; C. £. Filley, of Missouri; A. B. Cornell, of Now York; J. J. Patterson, of South Carolina; General Eaward F. Noyes, of Ohio; Elthu Enos, of Missouri; C. ©. Fulton, of Maryland, and J, M, Forbes, of Massa- chusetts, The absent members were George C. Gorham, Of California; George A. Halsey, of New Jersey; T. Averill, of Minnesota, and George Y. Stone, of lowa. The proceedings of the committee were held with closed doors, and the session lasted from a little after eleven o'clock in the morning till six 1 the evening. The only persons who succeeded during the day in gaining admittance to the room were Senator Conover, of Florida, Thomas B. Keogh, of North Carolina, and Commissioner John L Davenport, of this city. A large number of republican politicians from this Stete and other States lounged avout in the reading room all day, apparently with the hope of getting an inkling as to the real situation of affairs in tho committee room or, even better, of being allowed into the room as sim- ple lookers on, What their business was with the committee it was difficult. 10 decermine, probably from the fact that the majority of them had none at all, However a few, it is believed, were anxious to be em- ployed as laborers in the Hayes and Wheeler vinevard during the coming campuign and wore desirous to be early on the ground to put in their claims and recom- mendations as stamp speakers In those small localit where the thunder of the heavy arullery of the party will uot be beard, None of them* gaimed admittance to the committee room while the session lasted, and most of them had become tired and had gone their various was in peace by the time the doors of one of the com- mittee rooms were thrown open forthe benefit of those who desired to wait on the comuitteo, the majority of whom had beforehand quietly made their way out into the street by another. ‘The only positive information that the clerk of the committee Wax authorized to furnish for the public as to what the committee had been doing all day was that tho session had been spent in “parcelling out’? the work for the various committcemen, but what tho work of each particular sub-committee was to be, or how the sub-committees were constituted, was informa- tion underlined contraband, the clerk simply suid, The members of the committee were equally determined not to make the proceedings public. That thero must have been some very lively discussions during the meeting thero 1s no room for doubt, and, judging from a remurk dropped by one of the members, the question a6 tu the best method to be adopted to make the assess- ments roturn a rioh hervest of greenbacks was not the least of the questions dosiberated upon, not to say fought over at considerable length. At ono time during the day quite a warm debate was going on over some matter or other, as the voices of the speakers, though not their words, could be dis- tinctly heard ‘in the hallway whenever occasionally the door of the committee room was opened by some con mittee man who had been called out by the card of friend in the reading room. Tt wus at this time that a prominent republican in the bailway laughingly ro- marked :— “I think 1 know what they’d like to have in there about now.’? “A gailon of applojack,” suggested a bystander, “Better yer—Tilden’s letter of acceptance, It might make the work of the day less difficult,” ‘And it may make tho road of tho repnblican party @ pretty hard one to travel,” chimed in an irreverent democrat. There was one thing remarkable about the various members of the committce—the confidence that cach had that his State was sure to go republican in Novem- ber. Ex-Governor Noyes, when the subject was broached by a Heratp reporter as he passed through the reading room, satd that “Ohio would take care of herself,” and that the party in the State was “never in better spirits or more enthusiastic than at preseut.” Mr. Cumback laughed at the idea of the democrats carrying Indiana in Uctober even, and Enos ‘had no fear?’ about where Wisconsin would bo found the day after election. Mr. Kemble “knew” that Penpsyl- vania would give the republican Presidential ticket a sweeping majority, and as for Mr, Chandler, the chair- man of tho National Committee, his views as to the prospects in Michixan were a8 rosy a8 rosy could be. The committee, betore adjourning, saccoeded, tt may bo mentioned, in inducing Mr. MoCormick, of Arizona, 1o assume Ye. posites. of secretary and elected Mr, M, A. Ulancy, ot Washington, as clerk, The committee rooms will be open datly from this time forward till election time, Sundays excepted, The branch of the committee, Whose headquarters arc to be at Chicago, will be composed of the members of the National Committeo from Jowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Indian: DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE. HOYEFUL MEETING AT THE EVERETT HOUSE LAST NIGHT—THE MEMBERS AND THEIB WORK. The National Democratic Committee mot at the Everett House yesterday, nearly two-thirds of all the States of the Union being represented. The members wero earnest, hopeful and enthusiastic in tho highest degree. Thore was much cordial handshaking, and on every side it appeared as if the democ- racy a8 represented by this committee had already routed the opposition and were on the eve of stepping into the control of the government. ‘There was no trace of despondoncy i looks or words, but, on the contrary, a cheerful and sanguine disposi- tion pervaded all present, The private session of the committee was very protracted, lasting from noon tll past six o’clock in the evening, but a great amount of business was in the meantime transacted and the plan Of the campaign to a great extent matured. In the absence of Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, the chairman of the committee, who is detained on public business in Washington, Hon, Jona G, Priest, of Mis- souri, was seleeted to proside over tho meeting. This done, exch member in turn gave an account of the political situation in his State, the prospects for the domorratic Presidential candidates and the proper measures necessary here and there to chock republican and administration influences, The discussion which sued, while entirely harmonidus, was extremely eager, and the conciusion was a unanimous determi nation to sink all differeneos, North, South, East and West, for the one great object of cloaning out tho defiled offices of the national government, THE PROSPECT AIKAD wasa subject of general congratalauion. With less than half w dozen exceptions the reporis from all the States gave unbounded satisiaction, The committeo with one voice indorsed the sentiment of Governor Tilden bat the campaign must be waged, not in the | spirit of @ holiday ade, but ‘in all the dread and serious moral attributes of bloody war. When the committee had approved of the work already done by the Executive Cominitice in the organization and practical labors of the canvass, and when they had passed various resolutions looking to the most effective methods of carrying on the cam- aign they adjourned to meet at the same place on the Sth of September. In the meantime THR EXECUTIVE COMMITTER, consisting of Abram S.

HE WAS PREVENTED FROM MEETING GOVERNOR HENDRICKS BY THE ILLNESS OF HIS BROTHER—THE LETLERS OF ACCEPTANCE NOT TO APPEAR THIS WEEK. Sanatoca, August 2, 1874, It {8 now understood that the letters of acceptance of Governors Tilden and Hendricks will not appear this week. When GovernorTilden left here last Saturday he stated that ho would roturn to Saratoga about the mid- dle of this week, and the arrangement then was that he would then bring a copy of his letter with bim; that Governor Hendricks would have his letter ready by this time, and that, after another conference of the candidates, the letters would receive the finishing touches and be presented to the public immediately thereafter. Governor Tilden’s arrival has been looked for here allday. Several telegrams have been received at tho United States Hotel for him; but he has not come and his non-appearanco has given rise to h good deal of disappointment and considerablo comment in certain quarters, This evening’s train, however, brought @ special messenger from Albany, bearing a lotter from Governor Tilden to Governor Hendricks, stating that he had been detained in consequence of the @x- treme sickness of his brother, who resides at Lebanon, twenty-two miles from Albany. Ho said he feared bis brother might die. He would have to go to see him, and requested Governor Hendricks to remain here wn: til Saturday, The Governor did not mention which of his brothers is ill, but Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer says it 1s Moses, Subsequently Goyernor Tilden telegrapaed that ho might be ablo to be here on Friday, Atallevents it may be considerca certain that tho letters will not appear this week. It is understood that Governor Tilden’s letter will be a long and elaborate document, while that of Gov- ernor Hendricks will be comparatively short. Gov- ecnor Hendricks has his letter roady, but will not mako it public until 6 nor Tilden’s is finiabed, when, as heretofore arranged, both will be publistica stmul- taneously. GEORGIA DEMOCRATS. GENEBAL A. H. COLQUITT NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR BY ACCLAMATION—THE PLAT- FORM--NO ALLUSION TO THE HAMBUBG MAS- BACRE—GOVERNOR SMITH'S VIRWS—HE WANTS THE LAW SUPREME IN GEORGIA. ATLANTA, August 2, 1876, ‘The Georgia Democratic Convention met this morn- tng, with every connty except one represented, form- ing the largest convention held im the State since the war. Hon, Clifford Anderson was made President A caucus of the night before showed that General A. H.

A delegate from Richmond withdrew the name of ex- Governor Johnson, presenting a letter from that dis- tinguished Georgian, in which ho urged General Col. quitt’s unanimous nomination. McIntyre, Warner, and Reese wero then withdrawn, and General Colquitt Was nominated for Governor by acclamation, Amidst indescribable applause and enthusiasm he was escorted into the convention by a committee, and made a short, but elegant speech, touching the mission of reform, to which the democratic party was pledged. The greatest harmony prevailed. An immense ratification meeting, with torchlizhts, trausparencics, speeches and music, 18 now in pro- gress in front of the Kimball House, Governor Smith, Hon, B. H.. Hill, Congressmen Chand- ler and Harris, of this State, and a score of other State celebrities are announced as speak- ers. General Robert Toombs, the great uanrecon. structed, is here, but he will not speak. He is consid- ered extremely imprudent and the democracy cannot sanction his recklessness, His extreme views have no echo here. THR PLECTORAL TICKET, A dozen men were vamed tor electors at large, and General A. R. Lawton and J, W. Wafford were elected for the State at large. For the several Congressional districts the toilowing named gentlemen were elected First, 0. M. Rogers; Second, &. E. Cannon: Third, J. M. Dupree; Fourth, W. 0. Tuggle; Fivh, F. D. Desmuke; Sixth, F. Chambers; Seventh, L. N, Trammell; Kighth, D. M.’Dabose; Ninth, J. N. Dorsey. TUR PARTY PLATFORM. Tne platform adopted contains nothing striking, Neither the Hamburg matter nor the negro question is even mentioned in tho resolutions, That course had becn prevtously decided upon in a close con- sultation before the Convention that no formal utter- ance should be ma pon the Hamburg matter, Whilo the deteyates, without exception, as well as tho masees of the people, deeply haw ot the occurrences at that unlucky village, it was thought bes: not to give them political dignity or significance by a Convention resoiu- tion. GOVERNOR SMITH’S OPINION. Governor Smith, who 1s exceedingly potential in litical matters, his rare good sense supplementing 13 official authority, was Very much opposed to the Convention taking any action in the matter, ‘‘When- ever New Jersey,” says be to your correspon- dent, “shall in soJemn ‘convention assemblea in- corporate in her electoral platiorm a plank con- demning the recent edy ut Newark, or the Pennsylvania democt shall by resolution dis- own any sympathy with the ‘Molly Meguires,’ then it will be time for Georgi to move in the Hambarg matter, The Humburg outbreak ts deplored just as sincerely by all good people here ag those disturbances were by the good people of New Jersey and Penn- sylvania, That reocontro simply proved, as those troubles proved, that there are enongh rash and turbu- lent men ip every community to Ket up a tuss once in awhile.

The Servian “Raid” Upon Ak-Palanka. FAILURE OF THE EXPEDITION. Quarrel Between the Servian Generals. Usapgoantrsers, Army or THE Morava, Naw ALEXINATS, July 13, 1876, From Belina it is a journey of twenty-tour hours to Belgrado, and from the latter place to this miserable Ittle frontior village about forty hours, (ireat interest 4a now centred in this vicinity, in conseqnenco of its being the headquarters of the Servian armies, and also the key of defence against invasion by the Turkish forces at Nisch. The busy hum of warlike prepara- tions, combined with the occasional passage of a train of wounded going to the hospitals in the interior, mast reawaken among tho hoary-headed old mountains of the Balkan the sounds of a similar charactor which they have echoed during the last two thousand years, | when armed men have poured through tho narrow valley between these two ranges of grim sentinels, to carry destruction into the countries destined to fee! their power, This being tho only opening on the southern and southeastern frontier of Servia, it has been the highway for the march of the legions of Greece and Rome, the hordes of Moslems from Asia, and the masses of Austrians and half wild Magyare, who bave poured down this valley during all the ages since history began recording the events of the worid, to say nothing of the ancient hordes who fought, bled and conquered in this btatoric land ages before the pen of tho historian was pointed to recount, !n never to bo effaced sentences, the deeds of their contemporaries. isch, the Nissa of the Romans, was once a splendid city and was the birthplace of the Emperor Constan- tino the Great, who adorned it with magnificent pal aces and other public worka, It was still further em- bollished by the Emperor Trajan, who built the famous bridge over the Danube near tho “Iron Gatos.’? Not one stono of all these splendid constructions remains to tell the story of the magnificence of the Roman Em- Pire in this now half wild country. The bridge’s site was even a disputed point until nine years ago, when an extrordinarily low stage of water in the Danube ro- vealed the foundations of the piers that onco supported the massive arches of that splendid structure, - The majority of persons in America havo uot stopped to recall the fact that these semi-barbarous provinces of European Turkey onco formed a principal part of the gigantic and highly cultivated empires of Greece and Rome, Nisch or Nissa was a populous and splondid city when London was a wilderness, To-day itis a wretched Turkish town,+possessing no featuros of in- terest, architecturaily speaking, with a rambling old fortress which owes its origin to the early days of the Roman Empire, As the spectator recalls all these chan; of time he cap almost imagine a grim smile of contempt from the gnomes of these old mountains as they look dewn upon the throngs of men who to- day are engaged in the same drama which these old warders of the fronticr havo so often witnessed in the past. Who knows but the present struggle may end in the formation of a strong Slavonian Empire that shall once more restore this land to the cultivafion and power it enjoyed 1,500 years ago? A BLAVONIO STATE, . Tho Servians are already talking of re-establishing the Empire of Dushan the Great, who ruled this land a8 a Slavonian Power 1,000 years ago. It is a mighty task, yet not impossible, and would even be highly probable if the various provinces would work har- moniously together, sinking all joalousies in the ono common cause of freedom, and secure the services of able generals from foreign lands who really understand the art of war. The Servian policy is evidently to endeavor to roduco Nisch in order to open the way to the rich flelds of Bulgaria, But they are as conceited as they are plucky, and have blindly believed themselves capable of conquering the Turkish Empire unaided. This over- confidence has caused thom to neglect the obvious ne- eéssity of cutting the railway between Sofa and Con. | stantinople, 6o as to prevent any reinforcements com- ing up to the Turkish forces at Nisch, A LOST OPrORTONITY, ‘This could easily have been done by a force of cav- alry a8 a Duclens, to beauginented by the eager Bul- garians, making sudden raids upon the line at differ- ent pointa. A body of five hundred federal or Con{ed- erate cavalry would have utterly destroyed the lino in three days after leaving Alexiuatz, But the Servians have shown a very foolish jealousy of the Bulgarians and have given them no assistance worthy of tho name in the way of arms and ammunition, and thero- | fore they aro now suffering for the want of the very | | aid which the Bulgarians were pecniiarly fitted by loca- tion to render them, namely, in preveuting any sup- ples reaching Nisch. These peopie have no idea what- ever of modern warfaro, and the following account of | their first attempt to cut off Nisch will give the read ors of the Herat an idoa of the character of the strategy likely to be displayed in this war. Tho only chance the Slavonians have, 1 may remark in a whis- | per, is in the still greater incompetency of the Turkish | officers, THE ACTION AT PABINA GLAVA, when General Tchornayeff crossed the frontier into | Turkish territory, was quite sevoro, but as Iwas not | present, and the accounts given by the officers are so | | Powers, Sorvia, m respoct of ber quarrel with Turke: evidently exaggerated and contused, itis useless to at- tempt any detailed description of the affair. As near | na T can ascertain the losses of the Servians were about | 100 killed and 350 wounded. The Turks retreated, | leaving their camp equipage and somo horses, Of | course tho Servians buried tho enemy's dead, and each | squad dotatled for the purpose reported such exagger- ated accounts of: the numbers they had interred that the sum total was thus rendored wholly absurd. The | Turks fought bebind imtrenchments, and although out- flanked and routed they probably did not lose more | men than the Servians, A SERVIAN RAID. Immediately after the action at Babina Glava, Gen- eral Tehernayeff planned a rad upen the Turkish com- monications betweon Nisch and Pirot on the road to Sofa General Stratamirovich, the cx-Austrian officer who won his rank ju the Hungarian war of 48 and ‘49, was gelocted to command the expedition, with Colonel Despotovich (for twenty-fvo years a membor of tho Imperial Guards of St. Petersburg) as his second in command, Tho force consisted of 6,000 iniantry, with one battery of six rifled twelve pounders, and another of six smooth-bore guns, with two squadrons of cavalry. It was ordered to push on to Ak-Palanka (‘Ak means, white and “Palanka’ village), or the “White Village,’’ and from there to Pirot. Here they were to choose between two alternatives, either to push on to Sofia if possible, or, if they found the enemy in too great force, to turn off to the left into the parses of the | Balkan and wait until the Bulgarians gathered in su™- | cient force around thetr standards to enable them to take the offensive again. The expedition started from the in body and took its route down the det seeking to get below the position of Ak-Palanka and attack it in tho rear, By some migcaleaiation the column reached a point where a cross-defilo enable! them to pass into the valley of the Morava at sach an li ur that | | dives for what they re: the Sorvians appeared before the Turkish position at | about three in the afternoon, instead of concealing | their advance under cover of dorknoss and attacking the Turks just before daybreak, so as to make a sud: | den rush and take them by serprise, thos noutralizing | as far as pornible the demoralizing effect of the Turkish artillory apon raw troops. The commander chose the old fashioned method of planticg his artillery on a Fidge opposite the Turkish position and attempting to destroy thom by shells, which would have probably taken a woek to aecompiish had the Servians possessed the ainmanition requisite for such a bombardment AN ARTILLERY DUB, The Turks replied vigorously with their four rifled Kropp guns, mounted oehind earthworks, and the 5 vian troops, who bad been echeloned on each side of the mountain slope, in the rear of their artillery, with the cavalry on their right flank, soon began to wigee under the fire and hide themscives in secure placos along tho mountain sida The Turkish infantcy. pamboring about 2,000 men, were behind intrenchments, which sheltered them from the Servian fire. AN ABORTIVE CHARGE. Aftor abovt three hours’ cannonading, which did very little damage on either side, General Stratamiro- vich ordered his infantry to charge down the hillside and capture the bridge over the river, so as to deploy his force upon the ypposite side and force the Turkish position; but the three hours’ shelling had done tte work, and the new troops were so thoroughly intim- idated by the bursting shells that thoy refused to come out from their hiding places, At Inst somo of tho officers seized muskets and called upon the men to follow them, ‘Two or three companies did so and rushed down toward the bridge; but, finding themselves unsupported by the maip body, they were compelled to fall back. About this time the information came to the general commanding that the Turkish troops were coming up from Pirot, on his flank, and preparing to cut off his retreat, When this communication was re- ceived the order came to fall back, the guns were with- drawn, the dead and the severely wounded were left on the fleld and tho shghtly wounded were picked up and carried off. The Servian loss was abont 200 killed and wounded. RRCRIMINATIONS AND INSUBORDINATION, When the expedition reached headquarters, alter re- turning over the same road by which they had ad- vanced, a rich scene took place. Stratamirovich ac- cused Tchornayeff of giving him erroneous orders and not supporting him by a movement which was to havo been made as adiversion in favor of the Ak-Palanka expedition, while Colonel Despotovich went so far as to teil the Commander-in-Chief that ho was “not ft to command a company,” and suggested that he had better “return to Moscow and resume the editorship of the Ruski Mir.” Stratamirovich was relieved from bis command and ordered to report at Belgrade, and Despotovich followed suit, swearing ven- geauee on ‘Tehernayeff and announcing bis intention of going to Ems and making a complaint to the Czar, Thus ended the famous expe- dition to destroy the Turkish communications, about which many contradictory reports have doubtless been telegraphed all over Europe; but this is the actual nis tory of this ill-conceived and worse-executed move- ment What would Forrest or Sheridan say to the plan of stopping three or four hours on a raid and sholling a position occupted by the enemy, thereby alarming tho whole surrounding ceuntry and bringing up all the forees in the vicinity? Had the Turks been even tolerably commanded not a Servian would ever bave returned to the army headquarters. In this stu- pidity of tho Turkish officers lies the Servian chance of success, SERVIAN HOPES, Tho Servians anticipated a species of target excursion to the Bosphorus when they declared war, and, have Ing delayed their action until the Turks have concen- trated all their forces uround the Servian frontier, they now find that this is no holiday task that they have undertaken, They are commanded by men who have had no experience in war, or even in handling large masses of men on parade, and the consequence is that these amateur warriors are playing tho same antics that our political brigndiers did in the civil war in America, They will cause tho slaughter of thousands of men unnecessarily, as we experienced fourteen years ago, and after this eruel schooling they will probably develop some officers who will lead them to victory finally, Unless matters take an active turn here soon I shall go upto the army of Genera Zach, near Novi-Bazar, where speedy movements are contemplated. Appearances hero indicate the purpose of the Turks to romain inactive in their fortified posi- tions and force the Servians to attack them. I do not think Geueral Tchernayeff will dare attempt this, as it would require three to one to make a succossful assaulf on regulars with new troops, ERROR IN SERVIAN PLANS, Tho Sorvians have mado the fatal error of dividing their forces into four principal armies, neither of which is strong enough to overwhelm the Turkish force opposed to it Had a policy of concentration been adopted instead, they might have destroyed the Turkish armies in detail, the Turks having committed the same error, being besides this ata great distance from their supplies and reintorcoments, The forces are so nearly equal mactual strength, and so badly commanded on both sides, it is more a question of chance than generaiship which sido shall reap th¢ victory. WHAT THE LEADER OF THE SERVIAN FORCES HAS TO SAY OF THE CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE Wak IN THE EAST—HE EXPLAINS SER Via's RELATIONS WITH RUBSIA. A correspondent of the London Times has had as interview with Prince Milan and thas details the points of the conversation :— He quite admitted thay what was called the ‘‘East- ern Question,’’ but which was in fact a combination and a complication of a vory large number of questions, was one which naturally caused much anxiety to the great Earopean Powers. Bat with tho Eastern question, as understood by those great had nothing todo. The Servian government and the Servian people did not want to involve Buropo in a general war, They did not ask any Power te come to their ald. But, on the other band, they expected that no Christian Power would be found taking part agains: them. I SERVIA SHOULD BK VICTORIOUS, her victory might contribate to the settlement of the so-called Eastern Question; and if she should be beaten, why thea Turkey would have shown her ability te p down, for the present at least, the Christian pulations. But one thing the Great Powers migh? st assure of—that now the field had been taken by Servia, she would fight to the Inat to obiain wha she had made war for, and if a victoriout Yurkish army should match throagh Servia, it would ‘find “nothing whieh could become the spoil of the conqueror, The Servians would destroy anything, éven to the roois which cover them, rather than letthe Turks enjoy It Jt was said in England and elsewhere that Servia was the tool of Russia. This was not true, So tar was it from being true, that Russia had counselled Servia pot to engage in the present war. Lf the allegation were confined to the assertion that there was a strong sympathy oo- tween Servia and Russia it would be per- foctiy true, aud why should thero not bo that sympathy? Was it not in every way natural that such a sympathy should exist? The Servians and Russians spoke nearly the same language, | Russia bad fought by the side of Servia on a field not far from the town in which wo were then sitting. Again, the question, as far as Sorvia was concerned, Was Hot ns to this government or that of Constantino: plo. It was the question of Turkish administration, which was ipcurably bad, It might be that Ministers Al present in power at Constantinople had the best in tentions He passed no opinion as to that; but what he did believe and would say that Turkish re orms were all were reforms on paper. Such they bad ever been, and such they would continue to be, BOSNIA AKD HWMZKGOVINA haa risen in consequence of ihe grievances arising from Turkish administration, The active meurrection of those Provinces might be put down for the ime; buta slate of peace could not be restored im either Pro- vince as jong as Mussuiman-administration con- tinued, He und his people knew this, and tuey Knew further tbat it was impossible to have pea and progress in Servia so long as discontent, so tines slumbering, sometimes, ay at present, break: ing out into open insurrection, exisied m Provinces bordering on the frontiers of Servia, aud among popu- jations which were intermixed with those of Servia The state of things before the commencement of hos Ulities was simply insupportable, Dyplomacy bad not cured it, and for himself he did not now for a single instant trouble himself about diplomacy, in bis opin: ion the only words that could svitle the matter were spoken by artillery and rifle.

The Prince covelided this part of the conversation by saying that he thoagnt he observed on the part of England and some ot countries a sympathy with the Christons eed under Mussoliman raie, which had not been exhibit untilnow.
