In New Jerscy the state avd eongressional nominations have great- ly strengthened the natioaal ticket, and give substential grounds for hopes of republican success in November. Ohio is safe heyond doubt, and the hardest fought battle will take place in New York state, where the princi- pal efforts of the republicans will be devoted to keeping down the fraudu- 1'nt voting of demoerats in New York and Brooklyn and bringing out the f4ll vote of the business element. The state outside of New York and Kiogs counties is good for 40,000 re- publican majority. VeraoxT fires the ficst gun and goes 5000 better than was expected.

About six weeks ago an ableaddress was delivered #t the Academy of ]E[u- ic in this city by Col. A. P. Huggins, reciting his obeervations and personal experience in shot-gun governed Miss- esippi. The graphic picture drawn by Mr. Huggina of the intolerant, auto- cretc epirit of theex-confederates very naturslly roused a spirit of indignant. patriotian among —the- present. To counterast the effct of these personal disclosures, letiers published now in tho Omshs ald, from Aberdeen, Mississippi, de: nouncing Mr. Hogeins s an impostor, and libelier of the south. The editor f the Herald, a morthern man with southern sympathies, flaunts the rebel reg in the faca of loyal Nobraskaus, and in its own langusga “perforates” Mr. Huggins with Mississippi buck- shot. The editor of Tue Bre bas no personal knowledge of the present recollection of how it wes down there at the cutbreak of the rebellion, when he was a resident of Alabama. He remembers vory distinctly how Steph- en A. Douglass wes rotten egged at} Huntsville by chivalrous southrons during the memcrable campaign that culminated in the election of Abraham Lincoln. He remembers how free press end free speech were trodden under foot, and how men who dared were ostracised, hunted down, et | driven into exile. But the Cmsha Herald_and morthcrn democrats ae- sure us that the spirit that kindled the flames of the rebellion has died out, and the south is now tolerant, loyal, sud oven patriotic. They pro- nounce Col. Huggins a blatherskite and fraud, and clinch their denuncia- tions with letters from Mississippians, who testifythat Huggins came thereas a “mule feeder,” was promoted to the superintendency of schocls, edited a radical paper, displayed his ignorance in varions other ways and was soundly thrashed, by “unknown perties,” for fostering negro equality, and teach- ing the blacks. As an offset to the velue of sou'h- e testimony, we will republish ex- tracts from lotters of Jeff Davis’ and ecs of North Alsbama concern- ing the editor of this paper. Ta the spring of 1875 ex-Postma ste Geveral Crzsswell, while stuwpiog Maryland, roiterated the | historic charge that Jefferson Davis hed in his epeech delivered at Stevenson, Als., prior to bis inaugaration as president of the defunct confederacy, foreshad- owed an aggressivo and barbarie policy in cate ths north should resist pesce- able disunion. It had been the aim of Jeff. Davis to placo himself befare the world &s & great christian soldier who only drew his sword in self-ds fence, and never sanctioned the bar- baric warfare which sought to spread poatilential diseases among the in- habitants «f the great northern oities by the introduction of infected cloth- ing, mercilesly butchered negro cap- tives at Fort Pillow and tortured meimed and staryed Union prisoners at Andersonville, He very promptly pronounced Gen. Creswell's charge as utterly fulse, emphatically denied cver haviog uttered the sentiments attrib- uted to him, and slso denied ever hav- ingmade any epeech at Stevenson,Ala- buma. At this junctare Tae Onama Bex produced pesitive and iacontro- vertible evidence corroborating Gen. The editor of Tue Bee declared thst he was present when Davis made that speech, and furthermore that he reported that speech and transmitted it by tel graph to tho Nashville papers and t associated press. In order to extri- cate himsaif from the dilemma in which thisiestimony placed him, Jeff Davis addressed a letter to the editor of the Hunteville (Ala.) Independent, who in tura wrote to Stevenson for record of the man who had nailed Jeff Da This correspondence was published in the Huntsville Independ- ent on September 9, 1875. As in Col. Hugging’ case, witnesses to impeach Rosewater's testimony were very prompt and empbatic. Mr. George W. Ricoand five others in a letter dated August 10, 1875,gave the editor of Tnx Bz the following character: Cresswell'scharze. T was well acquainted with hi at the time aent of the atta place, having Lusiness o tracsact for road with the telegraph office. Rose- water had come from the north here; was perbaya about of ags; b was quite & neza- tive character; had but a few acquaint- ances or assoc ere, and «stab- lished for himself but litt'e character ex- cept inefficiency in dut es as operator and iz constant abuse of the south and. its in- stitutions, and creaved in_ this commuoity very great contemp? for his ignorance. He was perhaps present when Jefferaon Davi assed 1hrough here on his way to asume iis dut'es of president of the Confederacy. {Here fol'ows & general denisl of the trath coycerving the harcaric seatimentauttered by Jeff Davis ] The letter closes as follows: T hope thisis sufficient, but if for publi- cation, nuatbers will take pleature in mak- 'ng a statemext of denial to his publica- tion, and to give such character to Rose- water a3 will differ very mate ially from the estimates which may be placed on him by strangers. Having cleaned his skirts by this contradiction of Rosewater's testimo- ny, Jeff Davis vindicstes himself through the Memphis Appeal, whose editor sums upas follows: Rosewater was rezarded at that very time with suspicion fs & northern man, a stranger, and perhaps aspy. At all events, his statements, naked ad uncorrobarated & to the tone and temper of Mr. Davie brief cxtempore remarks from the plattorm of the depot, are flatly contradicted by quite s munber of the best citizens of Ste. veuson who were present, and distinctly remember the character of that speech Thie grave misapprehensi-n of Mr. Davis’ remarks at Stevenson has found its way into a socalled history, and been confed into Greeley's “American Conflict,” Dra- per's “History of the American Civil Wa and ioto other northern publications of Jesser weight and authority.

This caudid young eoutherner eclares it is the simple trath that the issues Lee and Jackson fought for are being retried with the ballot instead of the bayonet, and insists that Will H. Kernan, the maniacof The Ok .- lova Southern States, is a fairer and mose honest representativeof southern sentiment thsn the suave and hypo- critical apologists whom the south chooses as senators and reprasenta- tives. Whe her this letter is genuine or not, it is true. There has been no change in the sentiments and purposes of the south since the men who now represent those states in congress led regiments and brigades under Lee and Jackson in defense of elavery and state sovereignty. The only change is in the m-thod by which it is sought to accomplish those purposes and realiza those sentiments. The men who were seeking to destroy the nation by war then, are seckiug to destroy it now by politics, whether they are candid like Bob Toombs sod Kernan, or politic like Wade Hampton. Itis not nec. essary to announce this with apy declsmatory fustian. It is nat vecessry to denounce there men “as traitors while they scek to accomplish their dangerous purposes by peaceful and legal meth- ods.
