A large Democratic mass
meeting was held at Cooper's
Institute, New York, when
Senator Ravard,of Delaware,
spoke at length. In the
icourse of his address he said:
‘ Then-, is everywhere an
I invasion by the Government
| of the privileges of the sever
al States, and their lights to
j govern themselves. If a man
is not allowed to use his mi-id
in local government he will
never be able to assist in gov
erning the ent*re nation, In
France centralization was
tried until everything was or
dered in Faria for the most
remote village. The result
was-a great people cut down
! in their pride ami overwhelm
ed. This was because ail seif
government was taken away;
ihe whole people leaned* on
"oTte man, and when that prop
was taken away the ruin was
| total and universal. With
this warning let Americans
jiever forget that the States
were created for self-goveru
Hit-lit, and the Union for tin*
htfeservation of the States —
| [Great Applause.] It is nee
j e>Miry to speak of this when
[there is now an attempt he*
j ing made to overrule the peo
! ;>!« and the States by the At
| torney General and the Sec
I rotary of War of the United
| States. The States existed
'before the Constitution, and
the suffrage in the States
could only he controlled by
these States. The changes
I made by the amendments to
the Constitution merely make
i it a rule that no voter, shall
j ho refused the right to east a
ballot on account of color,
race pievious condition of
servitude. Further than that
the laws do not go.”

VIRGINIA AND NORTH

Mr. Redlield, of the (Cin
cinnati Coininc’cia!, has been
lookin'; into the political sit
uation in the above named
States, and we make the fob
I
I lowing interesting extract
j concernin'; the result of his
i observations:
Virginia will gofo.*Ti!deu
I by a majoiity of from thirty
to forty thousand. Soiresju
fmty-five thousand, ar.d want
to bet on that inflated figure,
but you may be sure that Vir
giui.-rwill unite herself with
the solid South by a voice of
her white people nppn neh
ing unanimity. There are
estimates ijj tlie papers that
teas thousand blacks, or about
that number, have caught tin*
infection which pervades the
solid South, and will go for
Tilden and reform, but this
lacks continuation.
Among the Republicans,
there is not even a hope ex
i pressed < f carrying the State.
| Nobody “claims” it for Hayes,
! or estimates that the 'Mother
i
I of Presidents (now i" the
| weeds of her widowhood, as
j Tucker says) will do other
! wise in November than join
! the solid South.
i Notwithstanding the very
■gallant fight which Judge Set
tie is making, and the almost
universal esteem in wli.eh he
is held in North Carolina, 1
: see no probability of his elee
Ithm, or. at least, a very small
I probability. Ho will run a
j head of his ticket, hut. about

Tho Meridian llontcslcad of
'the 4ih says: We learned
when at Paulding last week,
that Dr. A. M. Dozier, or
Claiborne, Jasper county,lost
a valuable horse that died
from thestiiiging of hoes. Ho
rode his horse to the house of
ja gentleman in theneighbor
borhood, and tied him notfar
| from a bee hive. From some
came or another the bees be
came enraged and attacked
tho horse in swell numbers
Mint ho died from the effect
of their stings.
J Few person* are aware of
I the dangerous r* suits that
I sometimes follow the stinging
id'hees. The Am* riean Bee
journal sometime since pub
lished an incident of the
FraneoPrussian war in which
bees played an impoitunt
| part. At the battle ui Beau
j mount, a farmer who resided
noni the village had about «()
bee hives. When the Pru*
j sians invaded the village,some
j soldi jrs elated with theirs’ic
ieess, conceited the idea of
| feasting on lomey. They had
| routed the proud French ar
; my, could a few small insects
l resist their prowess? With
jtheir sabres they loosened t
| hastily the tops of t lie hives
land commenced robbing them
jot the honey. The bees aston
islietl at their aetion remain
ed quiet a few moments and
: then Hew out eu masse and
I attacked their assailants. The
result was that they killed 4
| Prussian soldiers instantly. 4
j more died from the effects of
| the stings, and others were
I disabl’d from duty for mouths.
! Other instances are gtven in
which not only animals hut
1 men have been stung to death
by these insects.
