There will be a meeting of the Democrat- ic Stato Executive Committee in this city on Tuesday, the 20lh instant. Every mem her is urgently requested to be present. John C. Bui:cn, ChainnanT Nashville, Aug. 7, 1872. COKUiiESSIOKAL DISTRICT CON. VENTIOXH. Conventions to nominate Democratic candidates for Congress will be held in the several districts as follows: First Morristown, Thursday, Aug. 15. Second Sparta, Thursday, Aug. 15, Third Cleveland, Thursday, Aug."15. Fourth Shelbyville, Thursday, Sept. 5.. "There was a certain convocation of politic worms" in the city yesterday, of which we shall hear more anon. Gen. John C. Vaughn published a let- ter in the Athens Post declining to becomo a candidate for either Congress or the Stato Senate. It is understood in Washington that Sen- ator Sumner will make somo speeches in Massachusetts in favor of Greeley and Brown. There are seventeen Republican papers in Pennsylvania that oppose the election of Hartranft, the Grant-Camer- candidate for Governor. Fowi.ee, of Tennessee, was one of the speakers at the Greeley ,'and Brown ratification meeting at Washington on the Sth inst. It appears the Grant Radicals in New York are contemplating a flank movement. A dispatch from Saratoga says: "The Republican leaders in this State are earnestly considering the expediency of nominating some prominent Democrat for Governor, on a very brief platform, in or- der to checkmate the Liberal combinations in New York. Liberal success is conceded, unless somo Hank movement of this kind can be made." SOKTH CAKOEIXA. Of the election in North Carolina, the New York Tribune of the 7th inst. says : "Within twenty-fou- r hours after the North Carolina election, wo published a table of actual and estimated returns of majorities by counties, indicating the elec- tion of Mr. Merrimon by a majority of 575. We believed then, and believe still, that this was below the honest result actually at- tained. Suspicions have been daily grow- ing ever since of a purpose on the part of the administration leaders to delay the re- turns from remote counties until there was lime to figure up the result, and see what majority was needed to count Caldwell in. ' Whatever the final count may show, we have already gained far more than W3 expected the diy before the election, and have made sure of the State by a handsome majority iu November. We believe that we have also honestly car- ried it now by a majority ftdly as great as that claimed iu the Tribune twenty-fou- r hours after tho election." The Tribune is not alone in suspecting fraud in North Carolina. The Grant men went into tho contest to win at whatever cost of money or cheating. TENNESSEE NEWS. ShelbyvDle has a social club.

' POLITICAL. A Scrcnado to Charles Sumner By 'liberal Negroes of iWasMng ton. XXo Hakes n Brier Speech. Washington, Aug. 9. Senator Sumner was serenaded ht by -- Dr. Augusta, Wm. A. Wormley and other colored citi- zens. A number of white persons were also present. In response to repeated calls, Sen- ator Sumner appeared at the door of his residence, and" was greeted with great ap- plause. Dr. Augusta introduced him as America's greatest statesman and life-lon- g and firm friend of tho African race. Sen- ator Sumner then spoke as follows: Friends and Fellow-citizen- s: I am touch- ed by this voluntary expression of friend- ship, and beg to thank you from my heart-I- n seeing you on this occasion I think of you only as personal friends among whom I have lived more than 20 years. During this considerable period changes have oc- curred of incalculable importance to the country, but especially to the colored peo- ple. When I entered upon my public duties hero slavery was in the as- cendent, giving law to all the usages of life. T'ue colored man, though not a slave was degraded, was not allowed to testify in co urt. He was shut out from tho public schools. Ho was excluded from public conveyances and thrust away from tho ballot box. But here in tho National Capital 'all these terriblo wrongs have ceased. The court room,tho school house, the hor se-ca- r, the ballot box are all .open, never to be closed. Revolutions do not go backward. Therefore you may rest se-en- ro in what has been won. Of this be sure, slavery will never bo revived, nor will you be restrained or limited in any of these rights you now enjoy. Applause and threo cheers for Sumner. Most sincerely do I congratu- late yon on these signal triumphs so little to bo expected when I first became ac- quainted with Pu, and when we consider the brief period in which they have been accomplished, I am sure you will unite wUh me in hope and trust for tho future. TL Cries of We will. It is my duty to re- mind you that the work is not yet com- pleted. This will be only by the enact- ment of a civil rights bill which shall re- lieve the citizen whoever he may ba from any exclusion or discrimination on accouut of his color. Only there will be established that equality beforo the law to which now for the first time in our his- tory, all political parties are distinctly pledged. Here there can bo no question. (Applause.) It is in the platforms, aud of tho early passage of such a law I do not doubt. Then you will have all assurance of your rights that can bo found in tho constitution and the law. But that law will be the cap stone. (Applause.) I shall not disguise from you that something more will bo needed. There must be a constant, watchful public opinion behind to see that these are enforced. The letter and spirit are there. There must bo no failure in awakenins and invigorating public opinion. You cau Ho much. I would almost say you can do everything. How constantly have I urged in public speech and in all my inter- course with you that our colored fellow citizens must insist upon their rights always, by petition, by speech and by vote. Above all never vote for anymiu who is not true to you. Make allegiance to you the measure of support. (Cheers.) By so doing all parties will seek your votes. (Cheers.) Your cause will be irresistible. Please accept these few words as ray ac- knowledgment of your kindness this eve- ning. (Cries of "Go on.") From long ac- quaintance you know something of my smypathies. (A voice "I do.") Always, from the beginning, I have sought to serve you, and always to the end I shall seek to serve you. To your cause my life is dedicated and nothing can turn mo from if. Nothing can tempt mo or drive me f'om its support. Tho Senator retired as tho crowd applauded. The baud played several airs, and a number of white and colored persons en- tered tho house to shake hands with Mr. Sumner. North Carolina. Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 9. The city is quiet.

Y., Aug. 9 The Evening Journal to-d- publishes a long letter from Andrew D. White who was ono of the San Domingo commissioners, denying Senator Sumner's statements concerning ill treat- ment of Frederick Douglass. Horace Greeley Another Speech. New York, Aug. 9. At the reception given Greeley at the village of Bradford, New Hampshire, he made the following speech: ,LFellow citizens of my native State, ladies and gentlemen: There arc two New Hampshircs, ono consisting of her hills, rocks, woods, bright green meadows and sparkling streams; the other, by far more important and'uuique is the New Hamp- shire of men and women who claim her soil as their birth-plac- e. More, New Hamp- shire people arc again divided into those who live on tho soU, who have congregated here, 'and those who have sought opportu- nities for scope and success in other States, in other places than their native land. I belonged to the New Hampshire that tra- verses many lands in distant spots, but when the Fourth of July,or Thanksgiving or Christmas day comcs,orany recurring anni versary that brings to mind the recollections of old familiar hearts, I then recur with all the rest of that outre New Hampshire, to the laud of myjancestry. I ask, "How aro the old folks at homei"' (Laughter.) From distant lands everywhere; from California, Texas, Iowa; from gtbe Equator; from the other sides of the globe, the other New Hampshire looks back in mind to the rug- ged hills of our native State, smoother now tliau when wo wrestled with their rocks, aud tried to wrest an existence from their granite beds.(Applause.) It has been said of me that I advise sll young people to NASHVILLE. TENN., go West. True, to somo extent I have. I advise thoso who find existence so hard in the Eastern States to turn to 'that setting sun where they find so much unoccupied fertile land,wMch tickled with the plow laughs such beauteous harvests. But as to the people that now compose New Hampshire, there are none better fed, better clothed or better taught; and on behalf of that outre (cheers) expansive JNew Hampshire, whose limits extend from the equator to the pole, L claim adoption into the family ot our common an- cestors. Wo do you no discredit, I hope, no discredit to tha .schools, .churches, intel- ligence, morality and religion of the inner New Hampshire. In whatever sphere we may be called to servo our country, I hope and trust you will not. have cause to be ashamed of us; and that we will do no dis- credit to lhe!beautiful land that gave us birth," It is now understood Greeley's tour will include a trip to Augusta, Bangor and Port- land, Me., where ho will be present at a meeting to be addressed by Gen. Banks. Mr. Greeley visits Rye Beach, N. H,, on tho 10th inst. Ohlo-IO- G Ballots.

Tho Demo- cratic and Reform Committees proposed that tho Liberals ratify their nominations for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General, aud that air the oilier officers on the ticket State, Congressional and Electoral, bo mado by the Liberals. This, as the final offer of compromise, was refused, and the Liberal Convention nomi- nated D. B. Hcnn for Governor, and ad- journed till to morrow. Tho Pinchback Convention developed nothing of impor- tance. Carl Schnrz. Chicago, Aug. 9. Carl .Schurz is an- nounced to deliver a speech here night in German. Mississippi Greeley Electoral Ticket, Special to the Memphis Avalanche: Jackson, Miss., Aug. 7. At a meeting of Liberal the Republican and Democratic Ex- ecutive Committees held at this place to- day, to select an electoral ticket, five Dem- ocrats aud three Republicans were selected as follows: J. L. Morphis and. E. Jeffords for the State at large; D. B. Wrifht, First District; E. C. Walthall, Second District; S. M. Meek, Third District; J. A. P. Camp- bell, Fourth Distrc; W. M. Hancock, Fiah District, and T. R. Stockdale, Sixth Distiict. Hancock is the late chairman of the Radical Executive Committee for this, (tha fifth) district, and declared for Greeley on Monday. Jndgo Kc I Icy, orPcnnsylvnia. Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial. Washington, Aug. 7. The Adminis- tration people here are in a state of great anxiety about the position of Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, in the cinvass, It is known that for a yeacpast Mr. Kelley his never disguised his opinion that Granlism would ruin the Republican party, and in the last days of tbo session of Congress ha pointedly refused to be driven into a cor- rupt or unconstitutional attempt to force the Bayonet Act through the House. In tho face of all these facts,' the Republicans of the Fourth District of Pennsylvania re- nominated Mr. Kelley without a dis- senting voice. He wa3 then aud is still iu Colorado and has not taken no- tice of his renomination. He is known to be in sympathy with Col. Forney in tho fight against the corrupt ring that put Hartranftin nomination, and his silence is worrying the Grantites beyond ex- pression. They don't care to draw him out for fear he will attack tho State ticket, and they dare not threaten to throw him over- board because as he lias not accepted their nomination, they know he would run inde- pendent, and that he would be elected by an overwhelming nujority. This is evi- - dent from the fact that on Monday la-- t at a meeting of the Democratic Nominating Conveution in Kelley's district, several del- egates made speeches indorsing Kelley as iu sympathy with tho movement for reform, and recommending him- - to the support of the Democrats anil Liberal Republicans. U is safe to add Kelley to the list of Sumner, Baukc, Farnsworth and Gov. Blair. Tho Acsro Vote Civil Horvico Kcform Illustrated. Special to tho Louisville Courier-Journa- l. Washington, Aug. S. Chief Justice Chase writes Mr. Sumner, commending his reply to the colored men, saying he shall vote for Greeley, and that he believes that he will make a very good i'resiuent. Senator Rice, of Arkansas, also writes, thankinc; him for tho nobis staud ho has taken, and assuring him that thousands of the best class oi colored men approve his course and will follow his advice. Mr. Rico says Arkansas will surely give a large Liberal majority in November. Civil service reform has just received an- other practical illustration. A Mr. Slasson, aupointed to a position iu tho Boston cus tomhouse through Gen. Banks' influence, was promptly removed on the publication of the General s letter declaring tor tiree- - lcy and Brown, and tho place will bo given to a loyal supporter ot the Administration. The Grant Republicans iu Massachusetts are seriously disturbed at the prosper that Gen. Bank3 will run on the Liberal ticket for Governor, and are anxiously specula- ting whether Washburne or Butler will make the best leader of the host of the faithful. Ban its is confident of sweeping- Liberal cains in New England, and writes a personal friend iu this city that with prop er activity ana management live oi the New England States can be carried against Grant. PITTSBUltG. Five Victims or the Kerosene Slnnln. riTTsnuRO, Aug. 9. Two sisters named Salby and another HamedLavelle,attempted to light a fire with Carbon oil. The result was as usual.

Candle Letters and Lectures. To the JJditor of the Union and American: The writer was forced to deliver a sort of "caudlo lecture" to the single, in various parts of Tennessee and, Virginia, a few weeks ago for the benefit of a foreign mis- sion. He has thought that a few "jottings by tho way," giving impressions of old Vir- ginia, visited by one of her sons after an ab- sence often years, might bo interesting to some of your readers. Going to sleep in the suburbs of Nashville and awaking next morning in Chattanooga, is a mode of trav- eling so little adapted to give a knowledge of the country that that portion of the jour- ney may bo passed over. The visitor to Chattanooga cannot but be struck with the rapid growth of the place. I remember passing a night here in '53 with a large par- ty an event by the way, long to be remem- bered by our host, because the cars leaving with unexpected haste, wo did not attend to the usual solemnity of paying our bills. I regret to say that the b3d impression then made seems to be lasting, as a barber in this year of grace '72, positively declines to trust me out of his sight until he i3paid his little bill, but follows me over the city while I am getting a note changed. But with somewhat less vividness than the above transactions, I think I saw hut two, or at most three honses on the site at that early date. Now it is actually a city, society cultivated, handsome private resi- dences, splendid stores, regular i streets, large population, and every prospect of be- ing an important centre of ttade. The trains seem to be coming and going every hour of the day and night. The work- shops are in full blast. Bedlam broken loose aud a permanent performance of the anvil chorus, to the music of the railroad whistle will give a faint idea of the fuss. The ladies complain that they havo no com- fort, scolding their husbands and families because they can edge in only a few words between the shrieks of the cars and the so- lution of continuity of the lingual flow so mars the effect that both help and husband fail to receive discipline. At least if this is not so, a crusty old bachelor has his suspi- cions that in such a din, it might be. A small but very select and cultivated audi- ence came out, and this with the delightful hospitalities of Judge Hook will inako me remember Chattauooga with pleasure. Off at 4 A. why do tho railroads so regularly interfere with morning naps. The country at first poor, improves as the hours pass, until forty or fifty miles from Knox-vill- e it expands Into a valley to ail appear- ance as rich and tighly cultivated as Mid- dle Tennessee. Knoxvillo is at first disappointing as a city. With almost fourteen thousand in- habitants and some of the most splendid stores perhaps in America, there are fewer handsome residences than there are at Co lumbia or Pidaski. On the other hand, there seems but little poverty. Like Wash- ington, it is a city of magnificent distances. The extensive interstices between ihe houses are judiciously improved to the cul- tivation of cabbage and other ccsulecces. In fact after the first slight disappoint- ment i3 over, it strikes us as tho most sen- sible town I have ever seen. Living is comfortable, everybody gets along, business is brisk and increasing, and the society make3 up in real worth aud cultivation for what it happily lacks iu tinsel show. The College is in a flourishing state, and num bers more than three hundred students. A visit to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum well repays tho stranger. I found the place in the reflux of the excitement originating in tbe silver wedding of the Presbyterian pastor, Mr. Parke. A nnmber of beautiful presents were exhibited, which testified alike to tho generosity of the people and worthiness of the recipients. 1 am unable to sec whv we w'io belong to the goodly .craft of the single should not have our celebrations as well. The useful metals of copper and iron will well symbolizo our worth to a vain and wicked world. It is respectfully suggested that tru judges of merit might see far more to admire in a copper bachelor of fifty aud cast-iro- n old iuaid3 of three score and ten than in a silver groom or golden old bride. Up at 2 o'clock for Bristol. If this coun- try along the railroad wa3 seriously dam- aged by the war, its recuperation seems perfect. Handsome villages are growing around the depots, and the agriculture ap- pears to be of tho best. I happen to sit near a lady bctweeu whom aud myself an acquaintance i3 formed. Her resigned, suf- fering faca is itself an introduction. When I hear her history I become convinced that wo cannot properly appreciate the vast-ne- ss of the misery caused by tho rutliless wretches who wasted Georgia and South Carolina unless to some extent we indivi- dualize the sufferiugs. She belonged to one of the wealthy lamilies of South Carolina. Her only child joined the army. Sick or wounded nearly unto death ho was ljing iu a hospital among hundreds in Columbia, Tenn. A gentleman passed through the long wards and saw him, and knowing nothing of him except what his face told, took him to his own country home and saved his life by the unwearied attention of himself and his family. She asked me if I had over heard of that gentleman, Gen. Lucius Polk of Maury county. Her heart sang still for joy as she wondered why he had selected her boy a stranger from so many. Years later Sherman's raid was made, her pla'e, handed down in the fami- ly for generations and worth thousands of dollars, were stolen, her valuable property burned, the war closed leaving her with one or two thousand dollars. She devoted this to finishing tho education of her son. His profession forced him to live in a region of countiy too unhealthy for her. Atone in tho world, she refused tto offers of friends who would have provided an asylum for her old age, but supports herself by teaching the accom- plishments acquired in earlier days. Such cases, alas, are so common that, as Holmes says, for one to do3cribe itself is as If a grain of corn, shelled, ground, bolted, sifted, would try to individualize itself by a n. A feeling of wrath and pity comes over me as I remember that all this was done, not to shorten the war, but to make Sherman popular at tha North.. It is getting now towards midday. I look out upon the smiiing landscape, and see from the improvements wo are nearing a town. The prolonged bellow of the engine confirms the tale. There i3 a rush, p, pause, and the door opens with the cry of Bristol. I try in vain to recall tho lines of Scott so appropriate to the occasion; but remember they are somewhat thus: "Lives there tho man with soul so dead, "Who never to himself hath said, As home hia footsteps he hatij tamed From wandering in a foreign strand, "This here is Old Virginny." I had some money when I left (Confed) of which I'm now bereft, and in the fruit- less search for more, I have become both old and poor. I have been such a ninny. W. S. than usual this season.

HAMILTON & CUNNINGIIAM, No. 23 Pnblio Squire, ang3 eodtlll jan2,73 NASIIVIiuVE, TENN I'OI.ETICAL. AJT1EH1TTES. Sonic Cheerful Incidents of tho Lnto County Election. From tho Memphis Avalanche. Hotly contested as it was, the late county canvass, as far as the shrievalty is concern- ed, was carried on with becoming .courtesy to ouo another by the opposing candidates. xtoYLB and cunnv had been personal friends, and wiiatevor their respective partisans said or did, they themselves conducted the canvass on high grounds, neither over, in the hottest period of the campaign, forgetting the regard or re- spect duo his opponent. On the day of the election Curry voted openly for Doyle at the Second Ward polling place. A repre- sentative of tho great and good Avalanche stood immediately behind him and saw him do it. Singular to relate none of the fierce Democracy present attempted to challenge tho vote, nor did any of the fierce Republicans present say anything of pro- scription. Doyle voted at the Third Ward polling place. Hi3 experience was a little different. Taking the straight Democratic Dolly Var-de- n Ticket he went to the wall and scratch- ing off his own name put that of Curry in Its place. A brawny SOX OF THE EMEBALD ISLE who didn't know Doyle, but observed him in the treasonable act, stepped up bebind, and, tapping him on th9 shoulder, inquired: "And, bedad, what's that ye're doing there, yu thafe of the wurruld ?" "Oh," replied Doyle innocently, "I'm just scratching off that fellow Doyle's name and going to vote for Curry." "Areyez, indade," returned the watchful suffragan, "and duzyez live in this ward, may I ax?" "Yes," said Doyle, "I live right there, around the corner." "Bedad, then," was the rejoinder, "the sooner yez move out of the ward the bether; for ha me sowl, VEK A DISGRACE TO IT and tne Dimmecrattick p a--a y, so yez arc." Saying which Patsy slid away on his left ear while Doyle smilingly deposited his vote in silence. As tha receiver of the ballots took that of Doyle, and called out the name, of the voter to be recorded by tho clerks, Patsy, who" had reached the door and was exercising his lungs upon another suffragan turned on his heel as the musical sound caught liis ear, and exclaimed: "Dyle, i3 it? Ocb, wirra, but that's wurse and wurse. B'y?, did yez ever see the like ov that?" asked he, as with wrath- ful eye and belligerent fist he indicated the suffragan. "Luck at that fellow beyant voatin agin HIS OWN SWHATE IRISn XASIE ov Dyle. Ocb, be me sowl, but if I had him up in Pinch now, sure but I'd be af;er basting the life out ov him, tho dirty skal peen that he is. Sure he's worse than a nagur." It took some time to mollify the fierce sullragan's wrath, and even when ho was convinced that the object of it was Doyle, the candidate, ne didn't seem to feel satis fied about the thing anyway. A MSG BKANCil SEMSATION. A .Meeting, A. 3Intch and n Marriage Within Tncnty-roii- r Hours. The Long Branch correspondent of the Newark Journal writes: Last evening tliero was a grand "hop" at the .Mansion House, and many Newark ers were on the floor doing the delishlful. together with a brilliant company of ladies and gentlemen from other sections. Short ly before ten o'clock Connselor-at-la-w John D. Banghart, of Jersey City, and son of Senator Banghart, of Hunterdon county, was introduced to a dashing widow of thirty-fiv- e summers, named Mrs. Caroline Marsh, of New York. The widow is said to be possessed of $200,090. She is, per- haps, tho most extravagantly fashionable dresser seen hero for years, and ha? no end of magnificent stuts. She has been at- tended by her dres3ing-mai- d, and has been a very noted lady here. After dancing together awhile, tha pair promenaded on the piazza, and clung to- gether so tenaciously that everybody was struck, and said the counselor was certain- ly struck too. "A genuine cise of love at first sight" not a few sTu'd. Tha counselor is a fine looking fellow of about thirty-thre- e two years or so her junior. She is ra-dia- ut in her elegant widow's weeds, and looks really well for one who has grieved at the graves of two husbands. To cut the story short, tho two were married this evening about soven o'clock by thaliav. James B. Wilson, D. D., after spending the day together promenading and carnage riding. I have seen the certificate, which Mr. Banghart seems to be quite proud of, as indeed he is of his bride. Bless tha woman with a fros, or toad, or a snake, in her stomach, will she never leave us in peace! It is no use to tell these people tuat it U asainst tho most unaltera ble laws of nature flying in the face of 1'rovidence as It were that such thing3 should be. That the dissolvent acids of tho stomach would extinguish tho life of a young crocodilo in two minutes, and that they, therefore, have no business to hava snakes, or toads, or lizards, or frog3 wan- dering around in them. The last casa is that of Mrs. John Roudabush, of New Hanover township, Penn. Sho very na- turally "alarmed her family" one day by stating that sho felt something like a snake crawling up her throat. As she was not subject to tha "hysterica passio" or "climb- ing sorrow;" which so troubled tha grand old Lear, she was, upon her persisting in her statement, taken to Philadelphia. Once there, under what is called tho skill- ful treatment of an eminent physician, she got rid of a lizard, but Mrs. Roudabnsh "i3 positive, and the doctor i3 of tho same opinion, that another of these loatlisoma reptiles is still in her stomach." Mrs. Roudabush had better first change her physician, and then there is somo possibil- ity of her cure. Ax Indianapolis papar says: There are at present, by actual count, bat four teen young men in tho etty who part their hair in the middle. One year ago they numbered two hundred, but death and the lunatic asylum have cut down their num- - Ler to the present figure. r,ATEEi l' aiAKKETS Bj XEKQRAPIX. Galveston, Aug. 9.

COKUiiESSIOKAL DISTRICT CON.VENTIOXH.
Conventions to nominate Democraticcandidates for Congress will be held in theseveral districts as follows:
First Morristown, Thursday, Aug. 15.Second Sparta, Thursday, Aug. 15,Third Cleveland, Thursday, Aug."15.Fourth Shelbyville, Thursday, Sept. 5..
"There was a certain convocation ofpolitic worms" in the city yesterday, ofwhich we shall hear more anon.
Gen. John C. Vaughn published a let-ter in the Athens Post declining to becomoa candidate for either Congress or the StatoSenate.
It is understood in Washington that Sen-ator Sumner will make somo speeches inMassachusetts in favor of Greeley andBrown.
There are seventeen Republican papersin Pennsylvania that oppose the election ofHartranft, the Grant-Camer- candidatefor Governor.
Fowi.ee, of Tennessee,was one of the speakers at the Greeley ,'andBrown ratification meeting at Washingtonon the Sth inst.
It appears the Grant Radicals in NewYork are contemplating a flank movement.A dispatch from Saratoga says:
"The Republican leaders in this State areearnestly considering the expediency ofnominating some prominent Democrat forGovernor, on a very brief platform, in or-der to checkmate the Liberal combinationsin New York. Liberal success is conceded,unless somo Hank movement of this kindcan be made."
SOKTH CAKOEIXA.Of the election in North Carolina, the
New York Tribune of the 7th inst. says :"Within twenty-fou- r hours after the
North Carolina election, wo published atable of actual and estimated returns ofmajorities by counties, indicating the elec-tion of Mr. Merrimon by a majority of 575.We believed then, and believe still, that thiswas below the honest result actually at-tained. Suspicions have been daily grow-ing ever since of a purpose on the part ofthe administration leaders to delay the re-turns from remote counties until there waslime to figure up the result, and see whatmajority was needed to count Caldwellin. ' Whatever the finalcount may show, we have already gainedfar more than W3 expected the diy beforethe election, and have made sure of theState by a handsome majority iu November.We believe that we have also honestly car-ried it now by a majority ftdly as great asthat claimed iu the Tribune twenty-fou- rhours after tho election."
The Tribune is not alone in suspectingfraud in North Carolina. The Grant menwent into tho contest to win at whatevercost of money or cheating.

A Scrcnado to Charles Sumner
By 'liberal Negroes of iWasMng ton.
XXo Hakes n Brier Speech.Washington, Aug. 9. Senator Sumner
was serenaded ht by -- Dr. Augusta,Wm. A. Wormley and other colored citi-zens. A number of white persons were alsopresent. In response to repeated calls, Sen-ator Sumner appeared at the door of hisresidence, and" was greeted with great ap-plause. Dr. Augusta introduced him asAmerica's greatest statesman and life-lon- gand firm friend of tho African race. Sen-ator Sumner then spoke as follows:
Friends and Fellow-citizen- s: I am touch-ed by this voluntary expression of friend-ship, and beg to thank you from my heart-I- n
seeing you on this occasion I think ofyou only as personal friends among whomI have lived more than 20 years. Duringthis considerable period changes have oc-curred of incalculable importance to thecountry, but especially to the colored peo-ple. When I entered upon my publicduties hero slavery was in the as-cendent, giving law to all theusages of life. T'ue colored man, thoughnot a slave was degraded, was not allowedto testify in co urt. He was shut out fromtho public schools. Ho was excluded frompublic conveyances and thrust away fromtho ballot box. But here in tho NationalCapital 'all these terriblo wrongs haveceased. The court room,tho school house,the hor se-ca- r, the ballot box are all .open,never to be closed. Revolutions do not gobackward. Therefore you may rest se-en- ro
in what has been won. Of this besure, slavery will never bo revived,nor will you be restrained orlimited in any of these rights younow enjoy. Applause and threo cheersfor Sumner. Most sincerely do I congratu-late yon on these signal triumphs so littleto bo expected when I first became ac-quainted with Pu, and when we considerthe brief period in which they have beenaccomplished, I am sure you will unitewUh me in hope and trust for tho future.TL Cries of We will. It is my duty to re-mind you that the work is not yet com-pleted. This will be only by the enact-ment of a civil rights bill which shall re-lieve the citizen whoever he may bafrom any exclusion or discriminationon accouut of his color. Only there willbe established that equality beforo the lawto which now for the first time in our his-tory, all political parties are distinctlypledged. Here there can bo no question.(Applause.) It is in the platforms, aud of thoearly passage of such a law I do not doubt.Then you will have all assurance of yourrights that can bo found in tho constitutionand the law. But that law will be the capstone. (Applause.) I shall not disguisefrom you that something more willbo needed. There must be a constant,watchful public opinion behind to see thatthese are enforced. The letter and spiritare there. There must bo no failure inawakenins and invigorating public opinion.You cau Ho much. I would almost say youcan do everything. How constantly have Iurged in public speech and in all my inter-course with you that our colored fellowcitizens must insist upon their rightsalways, by petition, by speech andby vote. Above all never vote for anymiuwho is not true to you. Make allegianceto you the measure of support. (Cheers.)By so doing all parties will seek your votes.(Cheers.) Your cause will be irresistible.Please accept these few words as ray ac-knowledgment of your kindness this eve-ning. (Cries of "Go on.") From long ac-quaintance you know somethingof my smypathies. (A voice "I do.")Always, from the beginning, I have soughtto serve you, and always to the end I shallseek to serve you. To your cause my lifeis dedicated and nothing can turn mo fromif. Nothing can tempt mo or drive mef'om its support.Tho Senator retired as tho crowd applauded.
The baud played several airs, and anumber of white and colored persons en-tered tho house to shake hands with Mr.Sumner.

Horace Greeley Another Speech.New York, Aug. 9. At the reception
given Greeley at the village of Bradford,New Hampshire, he made the followingspeech:
,LFellow citizens of my native State,ladies and gentlemen: There arc two NewHampshircs, ono consisting of her hills,rocks, woods, bright green meadows andsparkling streams; the other, by far moreimportant and'uuique is the New Hamp-shire of men and women who claim hersoil as their birth-plac- e. More, New Hamp-shire people arc again divided into thosewho live on tho soU, who have congregatedhere, 'and those who have sought opportu-nities for scope and success in other States,in other places than their native land. Ibelonged to the New Hampshire that tra-verses many lands in distant spots, butwhen the Fourth ofJuly,or Thanksgiving orChristmas day comcs,orany recurring anniversary that brings to mind the recollectionsof old familiar hearts, I then recur with allthe rest of that outre New Hampshire, tothe laud of myjancestry. I ask, "How arothe old folks at homei"' (Laughter.) Fromdistant lands everywhere; from California,Texas, Iowa; from gtbe Equator; from theother sides of the globe, the other NewHampshire looks back in mind to the rug-ged hills of our native State, smoother nowtliau when wo wrestled with their rocks,aud tried to wrest an existence from theirgranite beds.(Applause.) It has beensaid of me that I advise sll young people to
NASHVILLE. TENN.,
go West. True, to somo extent I have. Iadvise thoso who find existence sohard in the Eastern States to turnto 'that setting sun where theyfind so much unoccupied fertileland,wMch tickled with the plow laughs suchbeauteous harvests. But as to the peoplethat now compose New Hampshire, thereare none better fed, better clothed or bettertaught; and on behalf of that outre (cheers)expansive JNew Hampshire, whose limitsextend from the equator to the pole, L claimadoption into the family ot our common an-cestors. Wo do you no discredit, I hope,no discredit to tha .schools, .churches, intel-ligence, morality and religion of the innerNew Hampshire. In whatever sphere wemay be called to servo our country, I hopeand trust you will not. have cause to beashamed of us; and that we will do no dis-credit to lhe!beautiful land that gave usbirth,"

Jndgo Kc I Icy, orPcnnsylvnia.Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial.
Washington, Aug. 7. The Adminis-tration people here are in a state of greatanxiety about the position of Judge Kelley,of Pennsylvania, in the cinvass, It isknown that for a yeacpast Mr. Kelley hisnever disguised his opinion that Granlismwould ruin the Republican party, and inthe last days of tbo session of Congress hapointedly refused to be driven into a cor-rupt or unconstitutional attempt to forcethe Bayonet Act through the House. In thoface of all these facts,' the Republicans ofthe Fourth District of Pennsylvania re-nominated Mr. Kelley without a dis-senting voice. He wa3 then aud isstill iu Colorado and has not taken no-tice of his renomination. He isknown to be in sympathy with Col.Forney in tho fight against the corrupt ringthat put Hartranftin nomination, and hissilence is worrying the Grantites beyond ex-pression. They don't care to draw him outfor fear he will attack tho State ticket, andthey dare not threaten to throw him over-board because as he lias not accepted theirnomination, they know he would run inde-pendent, and that he would be elected byan overwhelming nujority. This is evi- -dent from the fact that on Monday la-- t at ameeting of the Democratic NominatingConveution in Kelley's district, several del-egates made speeches indorsing Kelley as iusympathy with tho movement for reform,and recommending him-- to the support ofthe Democrats anil Liberal Republicans.U is safe to add Kelley to the list of Sumner,Baukc, Farnsworth and Gov. Blair.Tho Acsro Vote Civil Horvico Kcform

Candle Letters and Lectures.To the JJditor of the Union and American:
The writer was forced to deliver a sort of"caudlo lecture" to the single, in variousparts of Tennessee and,Virginia, a fewweeks ago for the benefit of a foreign mis-sion. He has thought that a few "jottingsby tho way," giving impressions of old Vir-ginia, visited by one of her sons after an ab-sence often years, might bo interesting tosome of your readers. Going to sleep inthe suburbs of Nashville and awaking nextmorning in Chattanooga, is a mode of trav-eling so little adapted to give a knowledgeof the country that that portion of the jour-ney may bo passed over. The visitor toChattanooga cannot but be struck with therapid growth of the place. I rememberpassing a night here in '53 with a large par-ty an event by the way, long to be remem-bered by our host, because the cars leavingwith unexpected haste, wo did not attend tothe usual solemnity of paying our bills. Iregret to say that the b3d impression thenmade seems to be lasting, as a barber in thisyear of grace '72, positively declines to trustme out of his sight until he i3paid his littlebill, but follows me over the city while I amgetting a note changed. But withsomewhat less vividness than the abovetransactions, I think I saw huttwo, or at most three honses on the site atthat early date. Now it is actually a city,society cultivated, handsome private resi-dences, splendid stores, regular i streets,large population, and every prospect of be-ing an important centre of ttade. Thetrains seem to be coming and going everyhour of the day and night. The work-shops are in full blast. Bedlam brokenloose aud a permanent performance of theanvil chorus, to the music of the railroadwhistle will give a faint idea of the fuss.The ladies complain that they havo no com-fort, scolding their husbands and familiesbecause they can edge in only a few wordsbetween the shrieks of the cars and the so-lution of continuity of the lingual flow somars the effect that both help and husbandfail to receive discipline. At least if this isnot so, a crusty old bachelor has his suspi-cions that in such a din, it might be. Asmall but very select and cultivated audi-ence came out, and this with the delightfulhospitalities of Judge Hook will inako meremember Chattauooga with pleasure.
Off at 4 A. why do tho railroads soregularly interfere with morning naps. Thecountry at first poor, improves as the hourspass, until forty or fifty miles from Knox-vill- e
it expands Into a valley to ail appear-ance as rich and tighly cultivated as Mid-dle Tennessee.
Knoxvillo is at first disappointing as acity. With almost fourteen thousand in-habitants and some of the most splendidstores perhaps in America, there are fewerhandsome residences than there are at Columbia or Pidaski. On the other hand,there seems but little poverty. Like Wash-ington, it is a city of magnificent distances.The extensive interstices between ihehouses are judiciously improved to the cul-tivation of cabbage and other ccsulecces.
In fact after the first slight disappoint-ment i3 over, it strikes us as tho most sen-sible town I have ever seen. Living iscomfortable, everybody gets along, businessis brisk and increasing, and the societymake3 up in real worth aud cultivation forwhat it happily lacks iu tinsel show. TheCollege is in a flourishing state, and numbers more than three hundred students. Avisit to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum wellrepays tho stranger. I found the place inthe reflux of the excitement originating intbe silver wedding of the Presbyterian pastor,Mr. Parke. A nnmber of beautiful presentswere exhibited, which testified alike to thogenerosity of the people and worthiness ofthe recipients. 1 am unable to sec whvwe w'io belong to the goodly .craft of thesingle should not have our celebrations aswell. The useful metals of copper andiron will well symbolizo our worth to avain and wicked world. It is respectfullysuggested that tru judges of merit mightsee far more to admire in a copper bachelorof fifty aud cast-iro- n old iuaid3 of threescore and ten than in a silver groom orgolden old bride.
Up at 2 o'clock for Bristol. If this coun-try along the railroad wa3 seriously dam-aged by the war, its recuperation seemsperfect. Handsome villages are growingaround the depots, and the agriculture ap-pears to be of tho best. I happen to sitnear a lady bctweeu whom aud myself anacquaintance i3 formed. Her resigned, suf-fering faca is itself an introduction. WhenI hear her history I become convinced thatwo cannot properly appreciate the vast-ne- ss
of the misery caused by tho rutlilesswretches who wasted Georgia and SouthCarolina unless to some extent we indivi-dualize the sufferiugs. She belonged to oneof the wealthy lamilies of South Carolina.Her only child joined the army. Sick orwounded nearly unto death ho was ljing iua hospital among hundreds in Columbia,Tenn. A gentleman passed through thelong wards and saw him, and knowingnothing of him except what his face told,took him to his own country home andsaved his life by the unwearied attention ofhimself and his family. She asked me ifI had over heard of that gentleman, Gen.Lucius Polk of Maury county. Her heartsang still for joy as she wondered why hehad selected her boy a stranger from somany. Years later Sherman's raid wasmade, her pla'e, handed down in the fami-ly for generations and worth thousands ofdollars, were stolen, her valuable propertyburned, the war closed leaving her with oneor two thousand dollars. Shedevoted this to finishing tho educationof her son. His profession forcedhim to live in a region of countiytoo unhealthy for her. Atone in tho world,she refused tto offers of friends who wouldhave provided an asylum for her old age,but supports herself by teaching the accom-plishments acquired in earlier days. Suchcases, alas, are so common that, as Holmessays, for one to do3cribe itself is as If agrain ofcorn, shelled, ground, bolted, sifted,would try to individualize itself by a n.
A feeling of wrath and pitycomes over me as I remember that all thiswas done, not to shorten the war, but tomake Sherman popular at tha North..
It is getting now towards midday. I lookout upon the smiiing landscape, and seefrom the improvements wo are nearing atown. The prolonged bellow of the engineconfirms the tale. There i3 a rush, p, pause,and the door opens with the cry of Bristol.I try in vain to recall tho lines of Scott soappropriate to the occasion; but rememberthey are somewhat thus:
"Lives there tho man with soul so dead,"Who never to himself hath said,As home hia footsteps he hatij tamedFrom wandering in a foreign strand,"This here is Old Virginny."
I had some money when I left (Confed)of which I'm now bereft, and in the fruit-less search for more, I have become bothold and poor. I have been such a ninny.

Sonic Cheerful Incidents of tho LntoCounty Election.
From tho Memphis Avalanche.Hotly contested as it was, the late county
canvass, as far as the shrievalty is concern-ed, was carried on with becoming .courtesyto ouo another by the opposing candidates.
xtoYLB and cunnvhad been personal friends, and wiiatevortheir respective partisans said or did, theythemselves conducted the canvass on highgrounds, neither over, in the hottest periodof the campaign, forgetting the regard or re-spect duo his opponent. On the day of theelection Curry voted openly for Doyle atthe Second Ward polling place. A repre-sentative of tho great and good Avalanchestood immediately behind him and sawhim do it. Singular to relate none of thefierce Democracy present attempted tochallenge tho vote, nor did any of the fierceRepublicans present say anything of pro-scription.
Doyle voted at the Third Ward pollingplace. Hi3 experience was a little different.Taking the straight Democratic Dolly Var-de- n
Ticket he went to the wall and scratch-ing off his own name put that of Curry inIts place. A brawny
SOX OF THE EMEBALD ISLEwho didn't know Doyle, but observed himin the treasonable act, stepped up bebind,and, tapping him on th9 shoulder, inquired:
"And, bedad, what's that ye're doingthere, yu thafe of the wurruld ?"
"Oh," replied Doyle innocently, "I'mjust scratching off that fellow Doyle's nameand going to vote for Curry."
"Areyez, indade," returned the watchfulsuffragan, "and duzyez live in this ward,may I ax?"
"Yes," said Doyle, "I live right there,around the corner."
"Bedad, then," was the rejoinder, "thesooner yez move out of the ward the bether;for ha me sowl,
VEK A DISGRACE TO ITand tne Dimmecrattick p a--a y, so yezarc."
Saying which Patsy slid away on his leftear while Doyle smilingly deposited hisvote in silence.
As tha receiver of the ballots tookthat of Doyle, and called out thename, of the voter to be recorded by thoclerks, Patsy, who" had reached the doorand was exercising his lungs upon anothersuffragan turned on his heel as the musicalsound caught liis ear, and exclaimed:
"Dyle, i3 it? Ocb, wirra, but that'swurse and wurse. B'y?, did yez ever see
the like ov that?" asked he, as with wrath-ful eye and belligerent fist he indicated thesuffragan. "Luck at that fellow beyantvoatin agin

It took some time to mollify the fiercesullragan's wrath, and even when ho wasconvinced that the object of it was Doyle,the candidate, ne didn't seem to feel satisfied about the thing anyway.
A MSG BKANCil SEMSATION.A .Meeting, A. 3Intch and n Marriage
Within Tncnty-roii- r Hours.The Long Branch correspondent of the
Newark Journal writes:Last evening tliero was a grand "hop"
at the .Mansion House, and many Newarkers were on the floor doing the delishlful.together with a brilliant company of ladiesand gentlemen from other sections. Shortly before ten o'clock Connselor-at-la-w JohnD. Banghart, of Jersey City, and son ofSenator Banghart, of Hunterdon county,was introduced to a dashing widow ofthirty-fiv- e summers, named Mrs. CarolineMarsh, of New York. The widow is saidto be possessed of $200,090. She is, per-haps, tho most extravagantly fashionabledresser seen hero for years, and ha? noend of magnificent stuts. She has been at-tended by her dres3ing-mai- d, and has beena very noted lady here.
After dancing together awhile, tha pairpromenaded on the piazza, and clung to-gether so tenaciously that everybody wasstruck, and said the counselor was certain-ly struck too. "A genuine cise of love atfirst sight" not a few sTu'd. Tha counseloris a fine looking fellow of about thirty-thre-e
two years or so her junior. She is ra-dia- utin her elegant widow's weeds, and
looks really well for one who has grieved atthe graves of two husbands. To cut thestory short, tho two were married thisevening about soven o'clock by thaliav.James B. Wilson, D. D., after spendingthe day together promenading and carnageriding. I have seen the certificate, whichMr. Banghart seems to be quite proud of,as indeed he is of his bride.
Bless tha woman with a fros, or toad, ora snake, in her stomach, will she neverleave us in peace! It is no use to tell thesepeople tuat it U asainst tho most unalterable laws of nature flying in the face of1'rovidence as It were that such thing3should be. That the dissolvent acids oftho stomach would extinguish tho life of ayoung crocodilo in two minutes, and thatthey, therefore, have no business to havasnakes, or toads, or lizards, or frog3 wan-dering around in them. The last casa isthat of Mrs. John Roudabush, of NewHanover township, Penn. Sho very na-turally "alarmed her family" one day bystating that sho felt something like a snakecrawling up her throat. As she was notsubject to tha "hysterica passio" or "climb-ing sorrow;" which so troubled tha grandold Lear, she was, upon her persisting inher statement, taken to Philadelphia.Once there, under what is called tho skill-ful treatment of an eminent physician, shegot rid of a lizard, but Mrs. Roudabnsh"i3 positive, and the doctor i3 of tho sameopinion, that another of these loatlisomareptiles is still in her stomach." Mrs.Roudabush had better first change herphysician, and then there is somo possibil-ity of her cure.
