THE OATH.—The papers are discussing
the question whether tlie members of the
State Convention in the South will have
to take what is called the "iron-clad" oath.
The law says:
"All persona hereafter elected or ap-pointed
to office in said military districts,
under any so-called State or municipal au-thority,
or by detail or appointment of
the district commanders, shall take said
oath."
In ordinary times it would be decided
that members of a Slate Convention are
not officers, and this decision would ex-empt
them from taking any oath except,
perhaps, to support the Constitution of
the United States. We should not be
surprised, however, if the commanders
were to decide that the above clause ap-plies
to members of the Conventions.—
Such a decision would be contrary to all
usage, but that is no reason why it is not
likely to be made.— Galveston Xews.
RBGISTHATION.—We have not heard
from cither registration precinct in this
county as to the number registered so far.
We learn that SO altercation ensued be-tween
two members of one of the boards,
which came near resulting most seriously
to one, and perhaps equally damaging to
the other, had not the third member held
a st rav. between them. The difficulty oc
cm-red on account ol a difference of opin-ion
respecting an oath and an affirmation.
An elderly Quaker gentleman once called
in the New York Custom House to trans-act
some business, in which it was necessa-ry
for him to make oath to a certain mat-ter.
The official asked, "Do you swear or
affirm ?" to which the Quaker replied in
the blandest manner possible, "I don't
care a damn which!" Had our Guilford
county Quakers imitated the example of
our New York Friend, the difficulty above
alluded to might have been avoided,
and one or two human lives would not
have been imperilled.

During the late contest the President
placed himself squarely on his Constitu-tional
rights and duties and carried his
points.
It is suggested that a recent letter of
Thad. Stevens, opportunely published yes-terday
morning lashing Conservative Sen-ators
for not taking bora the President
certain rights and duties, some of which
Gen. Grant claimed, had much to do with
he General's retrogade movements.
We direct attention to the card of John

General Wado Hampten's Views on
Reconstruction.
AUGUSTA, GA., August 28.—General
Wade Hampton replies in a long letter t<>
prominent citizens of South Carolina, who
requested his views on reorganization un-der
the military bills, lie argues against
tbejnjustice and unconstitutionalityof the
proposed measures, and while anxious lor
restoration, prefers military rule to the
terms that hove been offered. He instan-ces
how reconstructed Tennessee works
and the rejection of the Kentucky delega-tion.
If the people accept tlie situation,
they have no guarantee that the State \uil
be admitted unless Radicals are elected, I blood as if i: had hern water. They did
A NBORO F.MPIRK IN THE SOUTH.—
Thoughtful liadicals themselves now be-g:
n to sea that they have gone too far.—
Their policy of "reconstruction" carried
out on the line they have adopted must
result in giving over to negro domination
the u hole ten States which they have ex-cluded
from the I nion. This the people
of the North never intended, and to it
they never wiil submit. They never un-dertook
the war for any such purpose, and
have had no such purpose in sustaining
the Radiealsto the extent they have done.
No such policy was declared in the last
year's election ; it is a policy developed
since those elections took place, and is the
natural growth of those extreme and
wrong-headed measures forced upon the
party by a few \ioIer.t and narrow Main
ded men. The more reasonable and bet-ter
thinking men ot the party see that
they have gone too ;*ar. They really in-tended
no such a result as now seems in-evitable,
unless some rational change is in-terposed.
They see, loo, that the}' have,
unwittingly, given the President an im-mense
advantage over them. Tlie reason-ing
contained in the veto messages, and
the results there predicted, are being veri-fied
by experience, and in a shape which
raises a feeling of alarm throughout the
country. The South must become, as
things now stand, a negro empire, in
which the whites, those at least who will
consent to remain, a subordinate race, de-nied
that equality of political rights which
was the inundation stone in our republican
structure. The Radicals may talk about
abolishing distinctions on account of color;
but the blacks, placed in the ascendent by
the force of Radical bayonets and main-tained
in thai positi >n by the same means,
will themselves make distinctions on ac-countof
color. So the Radicals will occu-py
this absurd position; under the pre-tence
i f abolishing distinctions founded in
prejudice on account of color, they will
make the negroes the controlling race,
who will enforce the distinction which the
Radicals effected to deprecate. But, in
this case, the revolution will place the in-ferior
race over the superior, not as the re-sult
of any achievement or energy of the
blacks, but as the result of a despotism
organized and maintained by military vio-lence,
wielded and controlled by the North-ern
Ra lieal party.
Can :v.y body conceive of any tiling
more unnatural or revolting ? Are we to
have a negro empire on our Southern bor-d<
r, in which that indolent ami besotted
race are to hold sway ? is our Congress
to become a sort of legislative niosiae,
here a white face and a black, with a mot-tle-
color be) ween to make the variety com-plete
'i Aiid v. ill the Northern people
ever yield their assent to so monstrous a
proposition, so revolting a spectacle?—
Under the pretense <>1" s. tting the negroes
free, we shall have made them masters, and
ci nverted our own race into virtual slaves.
L'udersncha state of things wo should
become the derision of the world, the scoff
of mankind, and history wonld hold us up,
through all time, as the most consumate
race of lunatics that ever disgraced the
human species. No, this was not that for
which t.:e people stipulated when they

VAMPIRK BATS.—Among the products ; Grant has given us one political essay ; but
ofthe country around Para are vampire he has given us already too much. His on-bats,
which are so dangerous that the
natives are obliged to guard carefully
against their intrusion into their dwellings.
A letter says that a party of Americans
recently had an unpleasant experience with
them. They were on an excursion up the
Amazon, and at nigbt one of them was
bled so badly by a vampire as to awake in
a state of exhaustion with a face like a
corpse. The foot of his hammock and the
floor beneath it was saturated with blood,
the flow of which was checked with diffi-culty.
It is this difficulty of staunching
the blood which makes the vampire so
dreaded, the quantity which the creature
requires to satisfy its appetite being com-tiaratively
trifling. Some persons seem to
>e especially liable to their attacks, while
others can sleep in a room infested by
them nightly with impunity. They only
make their attacks in darkness, and a light
kept burning in a sleep-room is an effectual
safe guard.
ly hope of retrieving himself is to make
public his private letter to the President
relative to the removal of" Stauton. Since
Grant has thrown himself into the Radi-cal
bauds, there will lie no difficulty in tlie
nomination of Mr. ChAW for the Presiden-cy.
It is now necessary for the country to
follow up Mr. Chase's blunders, sink "the
country financially as well as political-ly,
and coratneneea Radical negro millen-nium.—

A NEW GOLD RKGIOX.—The Black
Hills of Dakota, which are an ' outlying
group of bills belonging to the Rocky
Mountain range, are believed to abound in
gold, silver, copper, coal and other miner-als.
Unlike the mining region of Coloraio,
these hills are said to yield fine, large tim-ber,
while they are watered by two bran-ches
of the Big Cheyenne, ft tributary of
the Upper Missouri. Last spring an ex-pedition
of miners and scientific men was
organized to explore this country, but it
would have been exposed to great danger
from the Indians, and would have added
to the existing complications with them,
aud General Sherman stopped it. So
strongly, however, arc the frontiersmen
impressed with a conviction ofthe mineral
and metallic wealth of that country, that
a new expedition will be organized, and
they say that they will go next spring in
spite of General Sherman.
GSWXRAL AMNESTY.—The Xew York
Herald is now, in its anti-Radical strategy
urging the President to a "general am-nesty
for the "whites who foolishly ran
into rebellion;" for the '-poor negro, whose
intellect is completely unsettled by our
quarrel over him;" for the "North, which
is heartily sick of paying the bills for these
Ethiopian theatricals;" for "our commerce,
our agricultural interests, our progress as
a people." The Herald seems to think
that such an amnesty would restore all
people in the South to their rights of suf-frage
and what not. This we cannot see.
If the President can abolish the laws of
Congress, it can be done; but not other-wise.

EXTKXSK OF ISTEMI'KKANXK.—The com-mittee
appointed at the meeting of the
ministers, in the city of Newark, to inves-tigate
tho whole subject of liquor making,
vending, and drinking, have printed their
report, from which we learn there are 8;"i0
places in the city limits where liquor is
sold; 189,1)74 barrels of beer ware manu-factured
last yeat, and they estimate that
$4,000,000 worth of beer was drunk dur-ing
the same length of time in the city.—
To he more certain and accurate as to the
amount of liquor drank, the committee se-lected
a number of houses in different
wards, and stationed a person in each one
to count the number of drinks that were
called for at the bar between 9 a. m , and
7 p. m. They averaged 227 glasses each,
making 181,000 per day, and" 00,288,000
per annum. This at seven cents pel glass
would cost $4,640,160. If to this we add
the amount of drinking done before 9 a.
in., and after 7 p. m., at private parties,
etc., the aggregate must exceed $5,000,000
per sniimp in this one city. This is only
a portion of the expenses; for, if we take
into account the jail, poorhouse, police,
and criminal expenses, resulting directly
from the irallic, we shall havo auother bill
of startling items which wiii give us some
idea ofthe magnitude of the evils of strong
drink.

great principles of government which be
beneath them. He must lift these up into
the new light that re-action is pouring upon
the situation. The first necessity is a new
Cabinet. The country cries to him to
clear the wreck.—New York Herald, 27/A.
BOLD.—The convention of Maryland
has inserted in the bill of rights this
clause :
MAJ. GEE.—The many friends of Maj.
John H. Gee, formerly commandant of
the Confederate prison at Salisbury and
who underwent such a tedious trial before
a military commission in Raleigh, will re-gret
to hear that a private letter reports
him as dying of consumption near Talla-hasse,
Fla. The diseasa was doubtless
superinduced by the long and unjust im-prisonment
to which he was subjected by
the federal government.
A most revolting instance of juvenile
depravity has lately come to light near
Dubuque, Iowa. Two girls and four boys
from fourteen to eighteen years of age,
were found living together on one of the
biands in the river in a state of shameless
immorality—sleeping together, and often
capering about in a state of nudity. For
EtraoPC.—The latest news report by the
Atlantic cable is dated August 2tith.
The naval forces of Russia and Turkey
employed on the coast ol Canada weie near
coming in collision relative to the embark-ation
of Cretan refugees in a Rusian war
steamer, whieh was forbideu by an oliieer
of the Porte. The EUU8 were run out treat
each vessel, when Omar Pacha, from the
shore, interfered and prevented a battle.—
The Russian government forwards an or-der
for the supply of one hundred thous-and
American Rilles. The King of Prus-sia
is to meet the South German rulers in
conference at Baden. A grand eongre.-s of
abolitionists is in session at Paris, America
and Africa being largely represented.
Rm.ATIONS OK GavBBAL GRANT WITH
THK PKKSIDKNT.—It is understood that
General Grant is hourly expecting an
order from the President relieving bin.
from his ad interim administration ofthe
War Office, and that he has repeated his
protest against the removal of Sheridan.
The following information reaches us from
a source which we deem reliable: The
friends of tlie.Governinent, however, ad-vise
him to retain his position as long a-possible,
and to us.- hi- ntm< st exertions
to prevent further mischief. Then' is nn
doubt that the General is impeding the
promulgation ofthe Hancock order, and
that he repeated his protest against its is-sue
yesterday. The rupture between him
and the President is culminating rapidly,
and the result is neither difficult to predict
nor far distant. General Grant will Un-doubtedly
leave the Cabinet within the
coming week, or tlie President must bow
to his demands lor a modification <>f the
Hancock order. Up to the adjonrnmc il
ofthe Cabinet meeting yesterday no reply
bad been received from the President to
General Grant's last protest, and it is sur-mised
that the onlv reolv whieh will be
made will he the assignment ot some other
person to the charge of tlie War Office.—
FWney'e (Jhroncite ofyeeterday.
We have published the complaint of
Gen. Sheridau that Gen. liuiisseau had ad-vised
his removal. The correspondent of
The Baltimore Sun gives the following,
which he asserts is subst lntialy the corres-pondence
between the President and Gen.
Rousseau, whilst the latter was in New
Orleans. The President telegraphed to
Gen. Rousseau as follows : "How do mat-ters
look in Louisiana!" The reply was
that "affairs here look very gloomy, and
the people are much depressed. Any
change would acquire almost universal ap-probation."
Gen. Rousseau has written a Liter to
Gen. Grant, in which he denies, in totO,
the charges made against him by Gen.
Sheridan. He also publishes a card in The
New York Tribune, denying the state-ment
that he and Gen. Slecdnian suddenly
left New Orleans to avoid arrest.
