IM THB SIKCIAI. OF THB TRIBINK.) ('mini on the western border of Ibis State, is now the "dark and where, according to Con ress mau Hays and numerous of Northern Administrai ion it ia unsafe for a white Republican to live, and the are so harassed and intimidated tbat life has tarome a burden and tbey are beging to be put back into Blavery. To learn the exact condition of adair? in Sumpter and adjoining counties, it is, of course, ueeeasary to go there, but, after careful consideration and a thorough st ml of the map of the State, I decided, for two to visit Montgomery tiret. The chief of theee reasons was that I might eee the of tbe who, I supposed from his official position, won id bave more complete and accurate information than any one else, in regard to the nature and ex? tent of the outragea which were said to have in the border counties, and from whom I to learn what measures had been resorted to by tbe State authorities to protect tbe lives and property of persecuted citizens before the United States was called upon to send troops here. 1 arrived here early day before yesterday morning and, during the forenoon, went up to the Capitol to call upon Gov.

Lewis, Passing up over the steps on which Jefferson Davis stood when he was inaugu? rated President of the Confederate States, and paus? ing a minute to admire tbe beautiful landscape as viewed from that spot. I entered the Governor's ante-room, handed my card to a boy whom I found sitting there, and asked Lim to take it to Uov. Lewis. The Gov "nur isn't I here." was the boy's reply to my request. Will Uc lie here to-day "No." Is he in the city "No." "When will he return "Don't The information obtained from this boy was not remarkable for its fullness, but 1 soon learned from sources that the Governor bad not been in Montgomery since somewhere about tbe middle of August, and that just now he is canvassing in North Alabama, having turned over to the United States authorities the duty of preserving peace in the State and protecting it? citizens from violence.

thf MU MUM DErt'TY marshal. Since the State government could not be found, I tnrned next to tbe representatives of the United r- for information. I found Gen. Healy, the U. s.

Marshal for this District, io his office, and my conversation with Inn-, fully confirmed what some ni the moat prominent Democrat? of this city had told me of was a gentleman who, in his affiliations with some of the, jrorst have ever tiM-Mtffa Tike leeches upon a State, has always retained the re? spect of the people of Alabama, If his deputies were men of like character with himself, honest people in this Stat?" would have nothing to fear from the representatives the United States authority. but. unfortunately, the character of the work which falls to the lot of a deputy marshal in the Southern States, in ordinary is such that but the very lowest das? of men will accept a position. They have their counterpart in the spius and informers who have infested the New-York Custom-house under the lead of Jayne, and they lend themselves to do the most filthy work of the lowest and most unscrupulous class of politiiians. I don't sav that the deputy Alabama are oi this description, but.

from personal investigation within the last three years iu several other Southern States and in Wash? ington. I know that I do not misrepresent the char? acter of the majority of the men who act in this capacity.

Uicy Ac. 1 make this explanation to show tbe source of the reports which are aeut out daiily from the At office in Washington. Mr.

Williams gets his information from the Marshals, and they report what their deputies have told them. I do n't say now that these reports far as they relate to Alabama bave wholly or partially is my mission here to lind that 1 do say that, admitting the faith of both Attorney-General Williams and Healy, I should need something more than the word or the oath of an avciage Southern deputy marshal to convict any man of a crime. FALSE REPORTS IX NORTHERS NCWSrAI shall not, at this time, repeat the conversation 1 bad with Gen. and other Republican officials horn I met in his office.

Healy and the otlieir- I leaned that the State authori? ties havo done actually nothing except to offer a re? ward for the arrest of the murderers of one or two and from other sources I ascertained that in the case of Ivy, the colored mail agent who was assassinatetl in Sumter County the last of August, even this was not done for about two weeks, nor until after the ctiewetic action of Gov. Brown of Tennessee shamed the authorities of tin? State into doing something. These gentlemen told me, also, that the Democratic prese of the State and the Democratic orators wire i-nro the people to acts of violence, and read to me extracts from a said te have been delivered reeeatlj in Selma, in which the speaker advised his follower? to "draw a on the cravat? of white (The author of this speech has published a u.nl.

The writer assert? that even in Montgomery Couuty the Republicans have about suspended and leaves the reader to infer that a is account of Democratic violence. His desenp tu of the state of affairs in this city I quote in full Even in this city, strongly Republican, and in this to with our MUO Republican uiajoMy, the boast bv Democrat? that they will carry tbe next el? lion here.

Now, 1 believe in fair play, and without denying or asserting tbe troth of the reports of in pinces I have not visited, I do know ibat some of the statements above quoted are untrue, and I be? lieve tbat they were made for the purpose of creat? ing in Washington and throughout the North a false impression of the condition of affairs hore. One of the accusations is that the Democratic press of the Stat? advises violence, and The Montgomery Adrer tittr, the leading organ of the party in this State, is designated as one of the patters that advises every species of lawlessness." There have been two authenticated cases of assais.ua:ion in Sumter County siuce the first of August. Tbe first was that of Mr. Billings, and I quote from the editorial col? umns of The Advertiser some uf its comments on that murder. On the 11th of August, it aaid The killing was a cold blooded murder, and as no In? dications of a conflict, or of a number of person? having been en.a.ed in were observable, the probability la tbat tbe deed was perpetrated by some individual for the purpose cf robbery.

On the 10th of August the Democratic party of Sumter County had been accused of the murder, and The Adrertiter contained the following editorial We hope our friends In Hu inter p'nun ty will visit Mrs. Billings and assure her that no stone shall ne left un turned" to discover the murderers of her husband and brine tbem to Justice. The public safety de mandi that men who thus imperil it shall be dealt with sternly and severely.

TUE GOVERNOR URGED BY THE DEMOCRATS TO TAKE ACTION. The second case of assassination in Sumter county was that of the colored mail agent Ivy, on the 28th of Angust. The following editorial appeared in The Advertiser of September 1 News reaches us ria Meridian, that on Saturday last Tom Ivy, a negro mail carrier on the Central Rail? road, wat shot and killed by uuknown parties some whore near tbe State line. We desire to say, once for all, that such conduct deserves, as It will receive, the eiecratlon of all good men, and that those wbo partici? pated In it nlioiild he speedily dealt with by the out raged laws according to tbeir just deserts. Men of this sort are the most dangerous of all the foes of the South.

They not only nive our bad name abroad, thus deterring imniiirration and frightening away timm capi? tal, but tbey put tbe only weapon in tbe Northern Radi hands with which they can hope to win a victory in the Fall elections. In the name of the Democratic and Conservative psrty of Alabama, therefore, we denounce and repudiate all such offenders, white or black, and bid them go at ouce into the lawless Republican camp wtaere they be? lling. We will not be responsible for any of their radical i documents. The Conservative press and ora? tors of the State have so often and so urged upon all men strict obedjene. to tbe laws, that when men professing Conservative principles resolve upon such deeds they do so with positive knowledge that they are acting without ttae pale of tin-, party and In open violation of its fundamental Hence we re peat Let all util lint inn with the la w-breaking.

We do not assume. In advance of all tes? timony, thal either race is guilty. If the black? did It, their waite leaders are probably the responsible ansas sins.

It mu-t be remembered that at this particular time white Radicals are almost everywhere putting foolish negroes forward to offer the whites stroug provocation, doubtless with the hope of getting tbem killed or beaten, so that the press may have a chance to bowl in? being the case, the Democrat who play? into their hands is either a traitor to hi? party or an idiot.

STORIES OF VIOLENCE AND INSULT EXPLAINED. Now.

these articles which I have quoted were copied approvingly into almost every Democratic paper in the State. No fewer than fifteen weekly Democratic papers contained one or both of the arti? cles in regard to the Ivy assassination the same week. On the 15th of September The AdrertUer called attention to the fact that the Governor had so far neglected to offer the proper reward for tho ap? prehension of Ivy's assassins, und called upon him to do it at once. At this time the Republican Con? gressmen were in Washington asking for troops to lie to the State, and the editor challenged tho 1 tilted States Marshal to assert that he or his depu? ties had encountered the slightest obstacle in the discharge of their duties. The Marshal weut where h( pleased, arrested whom he pleased, without the slightest apprehension of danger.

The Advertiier also, in the same article, denied the charge, repeat? edly made, that white militia had ever refused to obey aoy lawful order, and said that it was ready at any time to assist the civil authority whenever called upon. The author of The Chronicle letter (and I quote from this because it is a fair sample of scores of others I have read in Northern journals and from wliich honest people of the North have derived their ideas of the State of Alabama society) indirectly asserts that the Democrats of this county threaten to carry the election hereby fraud, violence, intimida? tion or some other uulawful means, and says that Republican meetings have about been suspended in this county. (See extract given above). Why did ho not tell his readers that the Republican party in this county is about equally divided iuto two factions that are more bitterly hostile to each other than the Democrat? and Republicans, and that the reason why it was imposable to hold Republi? can meetings was because those of each faction wert- broken up by members of the other Last Saturday evening the negroes of one of these factious were holdiug a meeting at Wilson's Station, in this county, when the speaker was attacked by a band of negroes belonging to the other faction, the platform pulled from under him, a barrel put upon his head, aud he was otherwise so maltreated that a tight ensued, in which the loader of the attacking party was shot dead.

Why did not this same correspondent, when he that the hostility of the Democrats of this city wa? so great that they refused to pay their taxes, tell the truth Wliv did he not explain that the Republican tax collector, against whom nine indict? ments have been found by a Republican grand jury, and who has recently been convicted of perjury by Republican petit jury, failed to filo an acceptable bond in time; that the Republican Judge of Probate declared his office vacant that the Republican Gov? ernor appointed auothcr mau to fill the vacancy that the mau who wa? elected obtained an injunc? tion against the man who was appointed, restrain? ing him from collecting the taxes, add that thin is the reason that men refuse to pay their taxes? simply because they don't know to whom they are lawfully payablet I desire to repeat what I have before said in this letter, that I know nothing, personally, of the con? dition of the disturbed shall go to them in a day or as far as 1 have been able to investigate. I have found that the Administration journals and Administration politicians have grossly slandered the people of this State.

The party press on both sides is very bitter in political controversy, but the Republican papers are just denunciatory of their opponents those published in the interest of the Democratic party, and it is not true that the I latter have advised, or do now advise, their friends Uj resort to intimidation or violence.

The sclentlflo corps attached to tbe Custer Expedition to the Black Hills say there are no large quantities of to be found In that country. The theory Is advanced by some that certain persons In and about Sioux City and Yankton employed the prospectors to salt their prospects on Custer," aa they were interested in open? ing the timber lands of that region, and wanted also to Induce a rush through Dakota, which would brin? more or less money into the Territory. Mr. Hindman, an Indian Commissioner who has recently returned from the Buick Hills, says it does not impress him favorably as a gold country.

Whether there be gold in quantities in those Hills or not certainly the Indian? have believed it, and knew the fatal consequences to their possessions upon its discovery by the whites. However much or little the people Eist are Interested In the matter, it Is one discussed most prominently wherever a pick is wielded by the honest miner lu Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, California, and Wyoming.

The Black Hill? are prominently spoken of, but they form only a small area, and are not the Mecca to the knowing few. The country of Big Horn Mountains, ex? tending from the head waters of the Big Horn River and the Rosebud north to those of Clear Creek south, Is the more promising land. The writer knotts that the color can be found in any creek or stream coming out on the east from those mountains from the Big Horn to Clear Creek, ranging from a color to good pay to the pan.

At the head of Powder River there an outcrop of quartz good enough to mako even au Englishman who has in? vested In Utah prospect it. At the head of Clear Creek is the float of a copper minc, indicating a rich lode. On the Rosebud rich surface gold and silver quartz can be found. At Foi I.

I lu nile.1 at the Colonel's ranche, cornered Hie old gentleman, drow a pencil ou bim, and extracted a long story, of which the following is a portloa: TESTIMONY FROM AN OLD SETTLER. "I've never been in the Iliack hut I am certain I have traded with the Indian? for gold they got there. In I860 was the first time.

A squaw came into my store, rattling something In her mouth. I a-ked what it was, and showed me a nugget of gold about the size of a gold dollar, only it was thicker and obloug-shapod. I asked where she got It. But she shook her head and wouldn't tell mo. She offered to trade it for a stick of candy.

You know squaws are very fond of candy. I told my clerk to give her a lot of candy, raisins, and sogar, and try and fin out where she got it. She told bim found it one day was stooping to drink out of a creek up in the Iii.uk She made bim promise not to tell the other Indiaus, for they would kill her If thev found it out.

am occasional coanESPOtTDEirr or the thibunb.) CnARi.i8T0Nf S. Oct. Independ? ent Republican (oo vent lou finished Its work to-day. It marks a new departure in South Carolina politics, as, for the first time, a body of Republicans who regard the recular nominees of tbe party as unworthy of trust, have appealed to tbs Republican constituencies, and nominated honest candidates, with the expectation and belief that the Conservatives, as they bare promised, will sustain tbose candidates at tbe polls, and secure their election. The first business waa the admission of the delegates from tireen ville County, who only arrived this morning.

The Committee on Platform then submitted tbe declaration of principles which waa adopted by tbe regular Republican Bute Convention which nominated D. H. Chamber? lain last month, and also the rules adopted by that Convention for the government of the party. Both were approved. The platform reaffirms the ad beslon to the principles adopted by tbe National Repub? lican Convention of maintains toe authority of the Oeneral Oovernment to Interfere for the preservation of tranquillity in tbe several States; deprecates lawless? ness in any form pledges a continuance of public re? forms and the reduction of public expenses; prays for the passage of the Civil Rights bills pledges a main? tenance of the debt aettlement made last Winter; bold? that all franobises granted by tbe should be sub? servient to the public good; advocates a modification of the present system of taxation and tbe enactment of laws to encourage the development and building up of the -tate, and promisee to pass law? to advance the edu? cation and of the laboring classes.

Prior to tbe adoption of the platform, Lee of Bumter, a colored man, explained that the Independents were not lighting the Republican party, but the bad men who were using its name for their own selfish ends. Congressman Cain next took the floor, and In a vigor? ous speech nominated Judge Jobn T. Oreen of Humter County, as the candidate for Governor. Judge i reen, be said, was a true and tried Republican, a man whose character was pure and spotless, whose honesty was as unlmpeached as was bis fidelity to bis party a mau whom Oen. appointed Provost Judge of Sumter District, whom the Republican had elected to the Bench.

Judge Oreen was acceptable to both Conservstlves and Republicans, and would frown down all tbe frauds and corruptions which had disgraced the State. Ills election would bring capital to the State, restore confidence to tbe people, raise the bonds of the State from 10 to harmonize all conflicting Interests, and bring the peace and prosperity so earnestly desired. Other speeches in the same strain were made, and Judge Oreen wa? nominated by acclamation. The cheering which fol? lowed lasted several Col. Martin Delaney was then unanimously nominated for Lieutenant-Gov? ernor, and tbe Convention took a until o'clock, at which hour It reassembled.

Judge Oreen, who wa? In Columbia, bad been telegraphed for, and was met at the depot by a committee of the Convention, wearlug irreen Committee escorted bim fo the hall of the Convention, and he wa? introduced to the dele? gate? by the President as the next Governor of South Carolina." SPEECHES OF TILE NOMINEES. When the cheering, which threatened to over lone, subsided, Judge Green arose and tbat he cheerfully accepted the position assigned him snd re? turned his thanks to the Convention. We In? tend," be if we to drive from placard power those who have disgraced tbemaelves and the people. By reason of tbe plumier tbey had taken and the political fsvor tbey our a formidable one, aud I expect that In this contest every bouest Re? publican will do bl? whole duty." It is true," be said, that I am weak in body, but battling ta a canse like this lean appeal with confidence for ttreogth to that Great Being who loveth Justice and hateth Iniquity." He urged upon the Convention the of electing Rood member? of the Legislature, aud said, "If I tbotild be elected I will you an administration governed and controlled by law. The light by which I guide my feet shall be by the Constitution, and the law? passed in pursuance thereof." And, finally, he pledged himself to devote himself to the task of raising up again the prostrate form of our dear old mother State.

The was very brief, and It is expected that Judge Oreen will on Tuesday deliver an address to a meeting of wben all the Is? sues of the canvas? will be fully discussed. Col. M. R. Delaney, being introduced, acknowledged the honor which had beeu conferred upon linn, and "I do not Intend to lower my staudard of iuauhoo.i, in reganl to the claim? of my race, one step.

I do not in? tend to recede a bair'? breadth from the right? which which have been given us hy the beneficence of a Just but I do intend, in demanding this, to demand the rights and justice foreverrcitizen, black and white, who lives on the of the State." Other speeches were made, snd the followiug import? ant resolutions were unanimously adopted Besotted, That the Independent Republican movement not hostile to the nomination? by the Republn-au party In South Carolina, but designed to maintain it? ntegrity against the corrupt Ring? which control it, and, at the same time, protect the common interests ot the whole people of the Slate.

Three years later he wa? elected to the State on what was called the Cooperation ticket; that tho ticket in opposition to that run by those who advocated by South Carolina, whether she did or did not secure the cooperation of the other Southern States. Judge Green served for successive years, and In 1858 declined to be a candidate and resumed hi? pro? fession in Bumter. In 1864, he was again elected to the Lsgtslaturo. Ho took no part iu the war, and wa? generally regarded, therefore, as a Union man.

In lSGC.hewas appointed by the Federal authorittcs.prcft dcut of the provost court at Sumter, aud held that posi? tion uutll civil authority was restored. When the Re? construction State Government wa? organized, he was elected Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit by a uuani vote, and was unanimously bv the Legis? lature upon the expiration of bl? term of office. Judge Oreen is a man of decided character, and au accomplished Hi? character Is irreproachable. Even the reg? ular his present opponents, have, on this no word to say against him. Col.

Martin It. Delaney, the nominee for the oftW of Lleutenant-Governor, wa? horn In Virginia and educated in Pennsylvania. Afterward he graduated In medicine at Harvard University, and lor 17 years practiced medi? cine In the United States and Canada. In he was a member of an expedition whieh explored the interior of Africa, and, upon his return to England In 1800, reported the result of hi? observation? to the Royal Geographical Society. He wa? a member of the International Statis? tical Congress of which Prince Albert wa? President, was a delegate lu the Social Science OMWMM of i860, and was elected au as-toctate member of a number of lit? erary lustltutious.

Lord Brougham conceived a liking for him, and paid him marked attention. While in Scotland making arrangements for irrylug on trade with Africa. the confederate war broke out. and Mr. Delauey Im? mediately returned to America and went Into service a recruiting officer.

lu 1865 he wa? commissioned Mai? In tue Lulled States Army, and assigned to duty in Charleston, whero he hu? lived. From the flr-t he bus sought to inculcate tbe idea that the whites and black? are dependent on each other, and that without either race the South cannot prosper. He ha? been a staunch advocate of minority representation on the ground that the while lu the majority, give the white? the proportional representation to they are entitled, and so protect the coming of tne not distant day when the black? will be in a minority in the State. Be doe? not advocate any polltieal loiuininglingof white? snd but deslr.m the white? to be led by while? aud the black? by and that the two column? march by to the common good. Col.

Delaney 1. very carries himself well, ami a good Tie lion? st and stniightforward, and hu? never held office under the Malt Ooverimieul. which, as be says, is one of hi? strone recommendation? ne now a plaee lo the Costosa honee. THB PEOPLB BNCOt'RAUKI) THE The Independent. Republican Congressional Conven tiona made their nomlunl.cn* to-day.

lo the 1st District they no-olnataid J. H. Raioey, the present loeossbent. who Is also th? regular candidate. For tbe I Id ln.tr ict E.

W. M. Mackey of Charleston wa? nominated against C. W. claims to be the regular For the Hld District R.

H. Cain, the present colored inan-at- large, was nominated Solomon L. lime, a Northern man, who is the regular lo the 1 Vth District bo Domination was made, and the dele? gates pledged the support of the Independent Rrpubii caos to den. Kershaw, if that gentleman ahall be nomi? nated by tb? Conservatives of that district. To-night tit? feeling in the city Is very cheerful, and the defeat of Mr.

Chamberlain, walch was looked upon a month ago as a thing almost impossible of accomplish? ment, is now deemed highly probable. There are over white voter? lo the State, and if to.ooo of tbeae sus? tain the Independent Republicans, it will require only 16,000 Republican of which ('barlenton Coouty can probably give 8.000, to defeat tb? regular even if tnuy poll as large a vote as was polled by Got. Scott in 1870, wheo th? frauds In conducting the elcotioo were both general and notorious. PB1LADELTB1A POLITICS. PRObPFCTS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL MACHINERY BOLTING-DISTRICT ATTORNEY MANN? CAMPAIGN TOR WE-ELECTION-THE CHANCES AGAINST HIS OPPONENT.

IHK OE THK rRliirvr Philadelphia, Oct. local are singularly mixed and disjointed tbis Fall. It a bad for regular nominees. When a candidate bas gone to all th? trouble and expena? of packlog a convention and baa been declared the choice of a majority of the honest and patriotic delegates whom he has run io by the aid of free whisky and fais? counting at th? prima ries, or has bought up afterwards on private terms, he not out of the woods any meaos. The chances are that his opponent, who did not provide enough whisky or buy enough will bolt with a crowd of bl? partisses aud set up the cry ol fraud.

If he only shouts loud eoough an? keeps it up long enough, there are plenty ot voters loving fair play who will think he has been wronged, and rally to his support. The party man? agers lay the party lash over his shoulders and try to whip him back Into sustaining the regular nominee, bnt in mott cases the bolter is unmindful of the castigatioo, or return? the blow? with interest Not only are there bolters among tho professional politician? who have been overreached by superior strategy and cunning, but independent candidates, set up by themselves or per suaded to ruo by people dissatisfied wltb nominees turned out by the regular party machinery, are nuraei ous. The lees a candidate cares for party this year the more the people appear to care for him. In three out of the five Congress districts in tbis city there are formidable revolt? agaiost Repunlitan Ring and Caucus rule. The "regular nominee'' ni the 1st District is Chapman Freeman.

All sorts of are told of the methods by which he got the nomination David Branson is running against him as an indepeod ent Republican candidate. The Democrats, after wait ugalong time to survey the field, bave coueluded to put up a man of their own, in the hope that branson will destroy the heavy publican majoiity io me dis? trict. Their Convention meets next weak. Id the lid District, also beauly Republican, there a straight fight between Charles O'Neill, the preeeut mern ber, and Benjamin Kusb, a Democrat of historic family and acknowledged ability. There is no doubt of O'Neill? election.

The Hld District Is steadily Democratic, sod has kept Samuel J. Randali iu the House for many succes? sive terms. IX en here tbe Republican? are by tbe David F. Huston got the nomination by the ways that are dark, which are nowaday? the road? to sue ces? in Huston was a Treasury and to Philadelphia in a less obvious wav what Jayne was to New York. Last June he went off to England with the baseball clubs without eajing as much as "by your leave to his superiors lo Washington, and the first Dew? he beard from home was that be wa? special ageot no more.

After be wa? well out of tbe way, his com petitor in too Convention, 1-' Berry, came out a bolter, and on the warpath Hustoo has re? turned and the two are having a pretty fight, not for the empty honor of running tbe Republican nominee, but forth? substantial advantage of controlling tbe Federul patronage Id the Distriet, which is a perquisite of Ad mimst rat mu caudtdate? tor whether elected or not.
