At this point the pulse of the State cun be best felt. From here the great army of spouters radiate through all the surrounding counties. The headquarters of each party is here, apd to them the news svoner or later Guds its way from the remotest coruers of the State, There is great activity over the whole political fleld, Five hundred orators, domestic and imported, ure engaged at this moment tiring the hearts of their respective followers, A tlocd of hate and falsehood, deep and broad ag the Mississippi, is sweeping over the State, and its chief source is the republican mind and party, All the distinguished speakers of the conotry are hero or coming here. Toreulight processions and the numerous devices for keeping alive the excitement of a political campaign were never so largely put in vogue, display, with the accompanying accessories of brass music and public speaking.

No wator thinks of making any other than the samo old weech through the campaign. The differenge between she democratic and republican speakers and speeches 8 more marked than ever. The latter are ata disad- vantage, because they have a limited number of facts © go upon, while the democrats possess an unlimited shoice. Democratic speaking 18 quiet though ear- nest; republican furious and declamatory, I beard N A. LOGAS atthe Academy of Music the other night, howled himself hourse andangry. His audience made about two-thirds of the house, and the only enthusias- ue bit of applause he received was when he got offa piece of claptrap that the republicans send their mur- lerers and thieves to the gallows and the Penitentiary whilo the democrats sond theirs to Congress—a state gent not borne out by recent events, THere is a great feal of this in the campaign—so much of it ts to be absolutely appallr What 1 have given was the po nt best received in Logan’s specch, and yet none but ignorant people could be deceived in Mt, IT went subsequently over to hear General Frank Bigel, and to a packed audienco he was quietly re lating a list of charges against the republican party.

BLAINE ON THE RATTLE GR Biaine, who has just arrived s James the people are beginning to find out what the real issues are; thatthe war was fought to preserve the Ife of the hation und that it is threatened again by the selfsame rebels wha, hada majority of the last House. This is what is fring up the old snti-rebel spirit, I will say L thought things looked blue out here a tew weeks ago, but that is aii changed, All tbat we wanted was to rouse the republicans, We may get no converts from the other side but wo can hold our. own, tuough to do that it sometimes requires men shouid be awaked from their letbargy. This # being done in spicadid style ail over the State, Our forcesare moving togeth- er like at the word of command, It wiil be the worst wt the democrats ever got, because it will be the d of them. We shall have at least twenty-seven States.’ This evening Mr. Blaine spoke with extraor- 1 the auditory of uny other spe-ker. His speech was given with a iluengy and power that carrice away his hearers. In the tatter of addresses Blaine will bear away the palm in populurity trom ail bis colleagues, He will suir up more enthusiasm within the next ten days than any dozen of the rest, aud, il any single man can do ht, ho is the one to endanger the success of the democratic party.

GOVERNOR HAYES AND THE CAMPAIGN. [From the Steuben (Onio) Gazette, Sept, 28.) On last Tuesday morning W. C, Gaston, £sq., of this city, called upon Governor Hayes at bis office in the Capitol at Columbus, While waiting at the west front of the Capitol Governor Hayes camo up, and alter shaking hands began a political conversation, and in the course of that conversation gaid:--On the qaes- tion of finance, the Resumption act and the necessity of reform we will be badly beaten. We must wave the bloody shirt aud revive the bitter prejudices of the war." Ot course Governor Hayes, in giving utterance to this expression, supposed Mr, Gaston to be a repub- lican, as be was in company with a republican lawyer trom Toledo at the time. Thig, of course, then, proves conclusively that the republican candidate for Presi- dent of the United States has no faith whatever in the possibility of that party being success(ul in the pre ent campaign with a fair discussion of the living is- sues of the day, although he himself is an earnest, and, we bave believed, honest advocate of the doctrine of forced resamption, At the end of the conversation Mr, Gaston said:—*'You have no doubt of the result, Governor?’ to which he answered :—‘‘I do not like to speak dogmatically on that question, The Germans of Ohio are treating us very badly.”” Mr. Gasiou will vouch for the truth of this cireum- stanco, and there is no doubt that it enipaly occurred us reported, and if Governor Hayes is the honest tan which his 'triends claim, and which we have always supposed bin, be will not deny it. EX-GOVERNOR WILLIAM ALLEN THINKS OHIO DOUPTFUL—THE POLITICAL OUTLOOR. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, Sept, 29.] “Do you think the success of the democratic party wouid have the offect of reviving the secession procliv- ities of the Southern people?” Governor ALLEN—Fudge! No. The Southern people are anxious to be reconciled with ‘the Norton, They want to go to work and earn their living. They don’t desire a separation, and they'don’t want anything bat their proportionate power in the government of she country. This agitation of sectional projudices is most inischievous, and the efforts of the politicians to make the Northern people belicve that the South is trying to gain by stealth what sho fatled to achieve by force of arms are damnable.’ If there is another attempt at secession in this country it will be on the part of the North, and it will be made by a lot of republican mischief makers, who, for the party’s interest, will seek to keep alive all the bitter prejudice of the war, and steadfastly labor to estrange us trom the people of the South, [ consider the success of the democratic party us especially important at the present \iine, as 1 would have the effuct of ailaying whatever feeling may exist between ihe two sections and bringing the people of the whole country into a better uncerstanding of their common interest in pre- serving the government and running it honestly. [tis ‘a sublime exhibition on the part of the republicans to come forward and ask to be retamed in office atier their enormous crimes and flagrant mismanagement. No country can stand such maludministrauon long; and, as | said before, if the republican party 1s succes: ful im this election, with its record tully and fuirly before the people, the result will be a heavy blow to the causo of human rights. But 1 don’t thinft the people will consent to its continuance. 1 believe they have made up their minds to make @ change in the controi of the government, and that that chunge will be to the democratic party. Tasked the Governor how he thought Onio would 0. avs impossible to tell,” was bis reply. “We had the State by 35,000 three weeks belore the election last fall, but belore election day came (he republicans bad poured so much money into the Stato that we were swamped. Wd have to know how much money was going to be used before I could form anything hike a close estimate of the result,” “+L suppose you have observed by the reports pub- Nshed inthe newspapers that business is reviving throughout the country ?” Governor ALLEN—Oh, yes, I thought it was about time for tae republicans to commence on that line. ‘That’s just a dodge—an old trick of the trade. The party in power alway tries to make out a gi ot busias just beiore an election. IVs all humbug this “ume. The only bysiness @that has improved since the last panic is the business of bankruptcy, and af the re- publican party succeeds that business will get better every day. If Hayes and Wheeler are elected you will see business inen ail over the couutry dive into their books and go to work winding up their commercial alfurs. There vo question about it, the success of the republican party would be # great calamity to this country, whereas a democratic victory would be the beginning of an era ol peace and barmony such as would make the American people more illustrious than ‘hey now are in the annals of the world, With this last rather stilted sentence the Governor closed himself up, a8 it were, lor interviewing pur- poses, and the ‘artist irom New York entering the roum, and catching him in the act of looking his best, the white-haired sage begged to be excused, and was toted off to the paint shop, POLITICS—THEN BLOODSHED. [From tho Obio State Journal (Columbus) Sept. 29.] Analfray occurred abovt half-past ten or eleven o’clock last night in-front of Ross’ saloon, opposite the market, on East Town street, which resulted in the death of one of the principals, John Kent, at balf-past iweive o’ciock this morning. The first intimation thai the parties on the inside had that there was anything between tho men more than a mere discussion of politics was a slight squab- bie, when Kent was seen to make a pass at Hardy, and Hardy strack back. Kent fell backward dow . the three steps between-where be was standing und the pavemout, and struck on the back of his head. Hardy turned toward the saloon door, when those on tho in- side rushed out to see what was the trouble. On going out they found Kent still tying on the pavement in an insensible condition He was picked up and carried into Peter Helierman’s saloon, where he bad been em- ployed as barkeeper and cook, aud taken into the back room. Meanwhile Mr. Corbett, the turnkey at the station- house, hearing the allray, went over to the saicon and arrested Hardy and took bim to the station house and locked him up, Where a reporter tound titn about one o'clock this morning, charged with the awful erie of murder. Hardy was then asicep in his cell and not aware of Kent’s death. Hoe was «roused, and stated, in answer to questions, that he and Kent were stand- ing on the platiorm talking and had some litule dispute, when Kent struck at fim aod he (Hardy) turved arcund to go into the saloon and get away irom him; that just then some one who was standing on the plat- form struck Kent and knocked him olf the steps and then ran around the corner and disappeared on Fourth street, Hardy also stated that be had not known Kent previous to last evening. bs A colored man who was standing on the opposite side of the street when the allair occurred he saw Hardy sirike Kent and saw Kent fail.

Me Warden of Cuok County Hospital, “THE SOLID SOUTH.” THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND MAJORITY YOR TILDEN—SOUTH CAROLINA DOUBTFUL. {From the Cincinnati Commercial—independent— | Sept. 29.) You have heard a good deal about the solid South lately, and as I have been over that ground consider- ably I bave made aa estimate of the majorities which I think Tilden will receive in the Southern States, These aro not haphazard, but based upon a careful survey of the fleld and a personal visit to many of the States :— Lousiana; Mississippr. North Carolina. . Total majority in the Southern States tor Tilden, 315,000, This, distrinuted among tne Northern States, where it would do the most good, would enable Tilden to carry pearly every State in the Union, Aside (rom intimidation, shotgun arguments and all that kind of thing, there is no question but what the South, taken asa Whole, is fairly and squarely demo- cratic to the backbone. In these estimates I havo. inclined to moderation, andI haveno doubt but that the actual majorities will, im most instances, go above the figures I have in dicated. 1 should'not be surprised if the total in these States was swelled to 375,000 majority, CONGRESSIONAL, At the samo time | look tor the republicans to make slight gains jn Congressmen in the Southern States, say half a dozen. Jn Virginia the representation now stands cight democrata to one republican. This solitary republican disirict ts the Fourth, aud they will be apt to hold it, They may make a gain of one, the Second, or Vlatt’s Old district, but are without bore in the others, The democrats have renominated the present Kepresenta- tives with but one exception, | believe, if there is any change in the delegation politically the republicans will gain one, In West Virginia there ia s strong probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that the republicans will gain the First district, The other two will go democratic, as usual. In Alavama there is a probability that the republi- cans will gain one Congressman, irom the Secoud dis, trict, This district is really strongly republican, and would have boen carried at the last election had not the republicans nominated a colored mao for the position, As it was be was only beaten 1,000 votes on a poll of 40,000, A white man would have been elected.

You express surprise that the white peopie of Vir- ginia should, with nearly a unanitnous voice, cast their votes in favor of the democratic party, a party with singular capacity to get them into trouble with- out weity to get them out. To one upon the ground whoobserves the tencr of the docirine preactied by the orutors and editors it 1s not so surprising after ali. ‘The people are taught that the republican party is the enemy of the Southern whites; that it does everything against them and vothing tor them;' that it grew up, thrived, flouristed and gained power as the peculiar enemy of the South, Southern pple, Southern in- stitutions, Southern thought, Southern prineiples, and that the Southern man who gives it any ald or en- couragement but holds a viper to his breast, which, when warm, will sting Lim vo death. ee It fs vo uncommon thing in the South to hear it said that the Southerner who votes for Hayes ts a lool or a knave—a fool for want of sense ora knave for want otofiice, Not because it is Haves; for no candidate ever put up by the party is as sincerely respected iu the South as Governor Hayes, but because be repre- sents a party supposed to be foanded ana to flourish upon hatred of the South; a party which, when it finas liselt abouf to go uuder, seexs to fun into lite the smouider ng embers of hate, that it may revive again.

At an election tor town officers im Abbeville, 8. C., a tow days ago, the town went democratic for the firsttime. The total Vote was 276, of which the blacks cast 143, and 100 of these, we are told, voted the democratic ticket. atch to the Columbia (8. C.)

The exact population of Abbeville, as returned in the cesus of 1870, ts this:—Whites, 1,001; blacks, 2,033. ‘This would abe the whites, say 200 voters and the blacks 406, allowing one voter to ive population. Yet at the recent election the blacks cast but 143 votes, and 100 of these were for the democratic ticket.

Your correspond- ent was received by the Senator’s charming wife. who remarked that ‘‘as there was ‘no palace in Europe whose doors were not open to the Hxratp’s envoys could surely not remain closed against one of thein,’’ and led him into the Sen- ator’s study, where sho remained au interested and not always passive listener to the conversation fliat followed. The Senator, following the Horatian method, so sharply revived by Jore Black the otber day, plunged at onco into ‘the middle of things.”” THR SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. “An observant man f uneasy and nervous when he contemplates the situation in South Carolina It is a situation of extreme peril, lam confident that the conservatives heve the determination and I hope tho ability to preserve the peace. They certainly have every motive todo so. The appalling consequences to both races of eral collision cannot Le estimated. Lite, property, the virtue of women and innocence of children would be disregarded totaily in such a strile, and the bullet of she assassin and the torch of the in- cendiary would be the familiar weapons of such a con- flict. Besides this, the whites are thoroughly aware that the slightest outbreak omtneie part, no matter how it may be provoked, will be used unscrupulously and eflectuaily to fre the Northern beart against them, and jeopurdize, if it does not entirely defeat, the iriumph of the only party that cau give honest and capable government to the country. These induce- ments for peace are strong enough, and I am glad to aay that in my canvass through the State everything that I saw justified me in believing that the whites were determined to act on them. I found everywhero a fixed and inflexibie determination among the main body of tue whites not to hazard a collision by any uct of their owa, and to prevent the radicals and negroes from loreing one.

These earpet-baggers, who do not intend to live in South Caroliua any longer than they ean hold the offices, care nothing for the disasters which must follow a coliision betweeu the races, Sach a collision beuellts their party in the Northern States, and, what is more important to them, it enables them to keep the black vote huddled at their backs in South Carolina. Already thousands of the most intelligent begroes in the State huve deserted the republican ranks, and there are signs of A UNIVERSAL STAMPEDE. The only way to check this stampede is to keep up the race issue—to perpetuate the strife between ihe whites and blacks.

The whole country turns out tothe meetings. Meo ba deserted business, farms and overything else in 1! last attempt to rescue the State, Hampton is wor- shipped by the white people.

No reactionary measures could be passed, even it the democrats bad a lurge jority in both houses, and the Executive besides, No such proposition could command a majority of the democrats 1p either house, It 1s absurd to suppose that such a course would be attempted, The democratic orators should not weate time on these issues. They should point to the resulta im the Southern States that have become democratic, and should force the republicans to meet them on live issues, Speaking ag a statesmun, and not as a partisan, T am free to say that the interests of the country would be safer with one branch of the government always in the bands of au opposing party.

A DULL CAMPAIGN IN THE. STATE—THR DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT—THE TICKETS. Truxtox, Sept. 30, 1876, Politics in this State are comparatively dull, With the exception of a few rousing mass meétings which have been held in Newark and Jersey City by bott parties the State has not been subjected to any unusus excitement, The democracy aro very confident ot success and claim a majority tur Tilden and Hendricky of at least 10,000, while, on the other hand, the repab licang seem despondent, although some of the leaders say that Hayes and Woceler will get a majority of 8,000 or thereabouts. - Of course both sides claim the Legislature, The ropubiicans believe they will be able to #ond Mr, Frelinghuysen back to the United States Senate for another term, and if not him, to send im his place either Secretary Robeson, General Sewell or Cortlandt Parker. General Sewell has a strong following, the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company included, and tn the event of a repub- jican Legislature being chosen it would mot be a sur- prise to many if he stepped into the position now oecu- piod by Mr. Frolinghuysen.
