PINCHBACK AT SARATOGA, —_ THE EX-LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA SPEAKS IN THE TOWN HALL ON THE SITUA- TION IN THE SOUTH—-“'THE BLOODY sHInT” 18 LIKE BANQUO’S GHOST, “IT WILL NoT Down.” Sanatooa, August 14, 1876, The Town Hall was well filled this evening by an andience composed about equally of white and colored people, to hear ex-Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana, spenk upon the situation in the South. His addross was temperate in tone and was mainly devoted to the importance of the colored race to the industrial interests of tho Southern States. He con- trasted the condition of law ana order In the North with the violence that hus been witnessed tn the South, There was no denying the fact, he sald, that the “bloody sbirt’? ts mo mythical garment, and the attempt to ridicule ont of public dis- cussion an issue so vital to the public welfare, and so intimately connected with the national life, if it should succeed, would be fatal to the Republic. Neither free epecch, a freo press, peaceable assemblage, the right to keep and bear arms, no security for persons or prop- erty, all of which are constitutional righte, were to-day enjoyed by repubiicans in the South, It was not his purpose to shake “the bloody shirt;” ho did not deem that. necessury, for it was’ like Banquo's ghost and wowld not down, It would haunt ihe nation until the murder of the imnocent victims whose goro gave tt its crimson color and who were murdered for no crime save their devotion to tho Tepubiican party, Was avenged and their vrethren pro- tected from outrage and wrong. But the a phase of the Southern queston which affected the in- terests of the whole country, and that was the great value of the colored people of the South commercially. He argued that all the industries of that section needed their presence. In the West an able-bodied emigrant was supposed to be worth $350 annually to the national wealth, but tne colored people of tho South furnished a million of workers, equa! to the Western emigrant, brought tothe country’s great aggregate of produc in the many forms that their energies assumed, 850,000,000 annuaily, THY LETTERS OF ACCEPTAN Alluding to the democratic and republican letters of acceptance, he said Governor Hayes rightly interpretea the causes 01 the troubles at the South and pointed out cleariv apd unmistakably the way .to establish perma- hent peace and to secure honest and capable local government in thoso States. “A hearty and generous recognition of the rights of all, by ull, without reserve or exception,” be said, “would acomplish it,” and any attempt to settle the Southern troubles upon a different basis would prove a disastrous failure, OTHER 8 ES.

HIS PROBABLE NOMINATION FOR THE CHUSETTS GOVERNORSHIP, Bostox, August 14, 1876. ‘The idea among the Massachusetts democrats of ten- dering the nomination for the Massachusetts Governor- ehip to Charles Francis Adams is being freely discussed in the rank and file of tho party. The state Central Committee and recognized leaders, however, have not at this timo taken any formal action or ind@iged in any unusual efforts t@urge his name for favorable consid- eration, Admitting the general ste to be woll founded that Mr. Adams is an eminent statesman, a fit mau for Governor, a8 Well as a gentleman tndiferent to political houors, it 18, nevertheless, equally true that his strength in Massachusetts is greatly overestimated, The democrats throughout the Stite never were im: spired by enthusiasm at the mention of ois name, and if he recer the nomination bis election cau enly be secured with the liberal aid of the independents, MASSA- jovernor Kice was renominated, for there are thoa, sands of republicans who are thoroughly saturated with disgust at the course of their present chief magistrate, As matters siand, however, the party can hardly do otherwise than honor him with the compliment of a sccond nomination, One of the chief causes of dis- satisfaction with Governor Rice is his persistent refusal to execuse the Jaw in hanging Pomeroy, the boy mur- derer, in defiance, not only of the popular will, but also Majority of the Executive Council. has also invited deserved criticism from many quai for failing to carry out an act passed last winter looking to the initiation of proceedings against some Coston and Albany railroad officials to recover money said to have beeu Hlegally obtained; the officials in question being Congressman Chapin, of Springdeld, President, and Moses Kimbail, of Koston, one of the directors of the road. With these omissions of executive law on his stouiders, Governor Rice, if renominaied, might possibly ve defeated, even by the distant and cold blooded Charles Francis Adains, Mr. Adams 13 at present at the White Mountains, in New Hampshire, where it is probable he will be waited upon by a com: mitttes of the Massachusetis democrats at an early day, and if he signities his willingness go become a candidate, there i little doubt but be will recaive the bowination.

IS SIMPLE RULE OF RIGHT. Honest Desire That No Guilty Man Should Escape—Confidence in Babcock and Porter, Wasuinatox, August 14, 1876 Prosident Grant, in tho course of an interview this evening atthe White House, which had been solicited | by your correspondent, with a view to getting his ro- ply, if any he wished to make, to the attacks upon him recently, and thoso particularly in the evidence adduced before the Committee on the Whisky Frauds, discussed quite treely, the whole subject of these vexatious charges and insinuations Ho treated them in 60 calm and tair a spirit a# to evidence that strong sense of justice which that he was explaining bis view: sailing or assailed, or while to thoso who» had the Congressional investi- gation in charge, ho spoke in a pleasant, cheerful manner, smoking ‘eisurely as he | went on, The names of ex-Secretary Bristow and ex- Solicitor Wilson came up, of course, most prominently, “Having had the fact of a well considered conspiracy laid before him, with every evidence of its being well founded,” ho remarked that, ‘not. withstanding he never gave the subject any more than passing attention, and the thing did not cause him the slightest apprehension, becnuso ho knew that neither during the course of his military Ifo, nor in his civil experience as President of the United States, had he ever written anything which could come up to cause him the slightest concern or shame, Of course with the light of events since come to pass, and the experience of earlier times, there were many things he could sce | now whicn he might do, {f again necessary, in a different way; but they pertained moro to a matter of discretion as to individuals than to qnes- tions of poticy, In ‘everything he did he bad always adopted the rule, through life, to examine into what Was submitted to him carefully and without anything but the principle of doing right, as faras he could Judge, to guide him. Ho had always written, spoken and acted in that direction and in a manner which ho thought camo up to that standard, Tho question of his integrity or probity, as it might bo fudged now or in after yesrs, never gave him an emotion of con- corn, at least in tho way of doubt, because he knew that he had ever been tmneiled by proper motives, and ho did not believe that there was the slightest thing to the contrary on record. Thero were many misropresentations, he went on to say, made in connection with the official communica tions between himself and ex-Secretary Bristow and ox- Solicitor Wilson, AS an illustration of this he never asked for the resignation of the former, but three sev. eral times when ho voluntarily proposed to resign and was urgently anxious to do #0, he, President Grant, prevailed upon him to stay in office, Once Mr. Bristow insisted upon tho acceptance of his resignation, because, he said, he could not undergo the ordeal of superintending another dis- charge er cutting down of the Treasury employés, Again, and for the third timo, Mr. Bristow tendered it and fixed the dato of its occurrence as ho would like it to (bo, upon June 20, because ho said that was his forty-fourth birth day, and he would be glad to close his official life upon that day, On the second occasion the President prevailed upon Mr. Bristow to remain, because, the new order of things in the Treasury Department was about to take | place, with the substitution of silver for the fractional | currency, and he thought it would need the supervision of Mr. Bristow, . So faras anything had been elicited in the Con- gressional examination bearing upon himself or the attachés heretofore of the White Ilouse, the President went on again, after a pause, and with great tran- quility, a show ofgreat satisfaction and a quict smile; he was willing to leave the whole matter to the judg- ment of tho country from the testimony given by ex-Solicitor Wilson before tho Congressional In- vestigating Committee, In relation to that part of Bluford Wilson's testimony which charged Generals Babcock and Porter with being concerned in Black | Friday speculations the President said he once puta lot of papers rolled ap, for a moment, in | a private drawer of his desk, and subse- quently took them out) handing them to his son, Who was acting as his private secretary, for ex- amination. The papers he found, when reported upon | by Mr. U. S Grant, Jr, did not show any connection whatever of General Babcock with the Black Friday affair at the time stated, because they could not, as ho was then in San Domingo; and, as for General Porter's | connection with the Black Friday scandal, he could not find that he had ever bought a dollar's worth of gola jn his life, but be had purchased one or two small pieces of property on Washington Heights, New York city, through or in connection with Generni Butter. field, which, from all he could learn, was a perfectly honorable and straightforward transaction. When these many and frequent reports were made about those bearing a near and Intimate official reiation to him, it was natural he should accept them with | great caution and suspicion, but ho always signified in the most distinct and emphatic mauuer, as he did im the letter indorsement of “Let no guilty man | scape,” whigh Mr. Bluford Wilson was endeavoring to abstract with other papers from the Treasury Department, that he did not desire that any per- sons, no matter how high the officials might be, even {f they were bis own intimates, should enjoy immunity from responsibility or escape punishment for wrong doing, it proved upon thom. ‘At first, whon the hints were made to him, he was lod | to believe that they meant Casey and others, He was | told by those attacking Generais Babcock and Portor that facts would be given by General George II. Sharpe, Surveyor of the port of New York, and those papsrs of the persons as. he was roferring no time did tho President stand n the way or intimato anything but bis strougest dosire to have a fuli, ear- nest and honest oxamination and prosecution of any wrongdoing among his friends, As for Mr. Bristow, the President added, notwith- standing the donbts and expostulations of my friends, L always regarded nim with the fullest confiderice, good willand respect; but my triends laughed at me when I gave tt finally n# my opinion, from tacts and Information brought to my Knowledge by persons whom! thought reliable, that there was a conspiracy on foot, in which he took part, pertaining to the Presidéntial candidacy andi regret the conclusion forced upon mo now, that there was more than seeming truth in the supposi- ton. The President ended the conversation, which he con. ducted on bis part in an unreserved and easy manner, by remarking, “That % about as fair and correct a statement as can be made of this subject.” Finiwhing the interview with this emphatic indorse- ment of himself, the President arose and tn @ most courteous manner excused himself and bade your correspondent good night, leaving the green room with his private secretary, Mr. U. 8 Gram, Jr, to join Generals Sherman and Van Vilet on the portico of the White House tor a quiet chat and smoke, COMMODORE VANDERBILT. Throughout yesterday the Commodore suffered less pain than during the previous day, His appetite has Hot improved although his etrength has not percept. bly diminished.
