OCTOBER 4, t18s. The Ilatelme Telegr.ap Coempay. This gigatic enterprise, since its organization within the last two years, has not only been en dowed with rare and valuable franchises by Con grees, but hes received the cordial recognition and approval of the New Orleans Chamber of Com meres. That Chamber, in a series of resolutions passed on the 8th nit., cordially recommended it to the confdeace of our commercial community as a sure meeas of reducing the present excessive cost of telegraphing, and advised the merchants of New Orleans to advance its completion by subscribing to its stock. The Chamber also certided in the most emphatic terms to the worth and responsibility of Daniel Edwards, Esq., re sident director for Louisiana, Alabama, Misaiesippi and Texas. The great advantage offered to the people of the entire country by this organization is, that by ettablishing trunk liose of telegraph on all the principal railroad and mail routes, the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by the one company that owrn the whole telegraph system of the United 8ttes will be broken up, and the inordinate charges re- t duced to a reasonable standard by the force of competition. The organization and success of such an enterprise is an absolute neceseity drow. ing cut of the commercial and business wants of the nation. There is room, sad plenty of it, for half a dosen duplicates of the telegraph system as it now exists, each one of which, once estab lished and to be relied on, will have its hands full of basiness and its stockholders amply repaid. The Directors of the National Telegraph Com. pany propose that the benefits accruing from it shall be enjoyed, not by a few favored persons, but by the business men of the country. To this end stock books have been opened at all commer cial poInts. The capital is $10,000,000, in shares of $100esch. One per centum will be paid cash on sabscribing, and subsequent calls, not to exceed fire per cent. per month, made from time to time. In order to supply funds for the eesesary cost of construec tion No calls, however, over the one per cent. can be made until the entire $10,000,000 shall have been subscribed. There is every reason to believe that thirty-Ire per :ent. of the capital stock will constroct and equip 2d,000 lmiles of wire, equal to the entire alr. eonmference of the earth. Tmts immense length bl communication will connect all commercial cen teri and places of importance In the United States. i Bluch are the profits of all present telegraph c lines, lan flanciall point of view, that there is no rea on to doubt but that 2t,00O miles, constructed at en outlay of 93,500,000, will pay liberal divi dersie on the entire capital of $10,000,000. Thwese renlso are shown by the balance sheets of the presnt system, which pays flattering dividends even on the full amount of stock, which is said to be rearly 1000 per cent. over the capitral abso- t lutely paid in. t The National Telegraph Company has also con tracted with the French Trans Atlantic Cable Company to connect w:th all the great commer cial and &opuouos localities in Europe. * Even at the present exorbitant rates of tele Iraphing, the lightning is fast superseding the mail in popular use and popular pa:rouage. 'rThe Nati.nal Company, encouraged by the soccess of the h beap postage system In America and Europe, n are determined to introduce it in telegraphing. t Redtce the cost of message. one-half, and where oe is now sent, there will be twenty. This immense enternrise is like the Paclie Rail. road-it is a necessity of .he times, and it is foun led on principles and a mroneyed basis which wIll fellibly nlosure its success. Its directonr are C men of the flnt commercial inltegrity and wealth a inever city r of the United fitates, whoar devoting o' t he r utmoot exertions to its epeedy and triumphznt T coimpletion. I A mited amount of the capital stock has been allotted to this locality, and Col. Elwards will take plesure in Airing full particulars about everything concerning the company to all who may call at his office, 2, 30 and 32 New Levee n street. st Dt mocrats, register at once.

Deane of my staff"'-in which he invented the murders of one hundred and fifty Union men "within the past month." Now, in or ' der to make this pleasant little novel the easier of belief amongst Northern people, the delegates from Northern States, now in Gen eral Assembly convened on Dryades street, and facetiously designated as theC Legislature of Louisiana, appointed a joint committee "on the conduct of the late elections and the condition of peace and order in the State," whose duty should be to make up the tale of the governor's statement, with fall permission to manufacture any additional horrors, such as assaults, insults, rapes, house burnings, etc., to any extent that the vividness of their imaginations might suggest. This was on July 30th last. In accordance with these instruc tions the committee went to work with a will, employing themselves, as they state in the report, daily from 9 A. x. till 10 or 11 P. M., (which, considering that we have very fre sa quently, during these hours, seen the mem ' bers of the committee engaged in other party i. work elsewhere, is drawing its little strong to start with,) and they have at last produced a w document which, in the fertility of invention g therein displayed, in the glowing fancy therein t employed, in the luxurious imagination there in shown, is certainly a remarkable one, and me one that claims the attention of va., 1l.-. d the fine art of distorting some fact and creat *t ing others i We referred to this remarkable effusion of Radicalism yesterday in general terms, and take it up again only to give to the public some ftacs relative to the statements therein made in regard to occurrences said to have taken place in certain parishes. With this prelude and the further statement that Mr. Thompson, a Democratic sen.tor, has assured us that the evidence taken in all the cases is of the flimsiest character, and the confident prediction that if the people of the State will aid us in the good work, we can expose yet further the baselessness of the wholesale charges made against our people by these men who pretend to represent them, we submit the following jottings : The statement is made in the beginning that although their witnesses are men '-whose worth and high-standing in their communities a. are sufficient guarantees for the truth of any n. statement which they may make," yet for ad fear "of violence to their persons and property n- and even of the loss of their lives from the "' vengeance and anger of disloyal persons in it their respective neighborhoods" these gentle men of worth, etc., decline to allow their ts names to be published, and the committee by thought fit to grant their request ! Now this so may do very well for people who do not know th the devices of carpet-buggery, but we, who do '- know how, in a former case-the ejection of pi Mr. Jewell from the Senate-when their chosen witness, Lefevre, turned against them of and confessed that he had been bribed to Ie testify, can estimate how far this was their Sreal motive and how far they were influenced s by fear of similar exposure and by a dread of as exhibiting to the world the worthless charac e" ter of the men upon whose testimony they of would take away the fair fame of our people. of In telling of the shooting of Edward For ' rest, a negro, by Arthur Guerin, at the French Market, about ten days ago, they o state that "Guerin then escaped without arrest." Falsehood number one, as every al child in this city knows that Guerin surren dered himself and is now in the Parish a' Prison. It The whole report is full of such expres *, sions as "a freedman, name unknown, was is murdered by parties unknown "-" several r- freedmen, number not stated, were shot and b. killed by parties unknown"--'a freedman, name unknown, was shot and wounded by t. parties unknown." Gen. Hatch states that "reports have reached him of the murder e" of both whites and blacks in the back part of t. the parish (Carroll) "-two freed people were 'e outraged by parties unknown "-and so on ,d nmsetl,,. This they call a report; and I with these precious and transparent devices they seek to brand a peaceful and long sutfer- t ing people with infamy. In Claiborne parish they detail the murder d of one Meadows, a colored memnber of the fimous, or rather infamous black and tan b constitutional convention. Now when it is Sknown that the current beuief in Claiborne d parish is that Meadows was killed by men of his own party, the ontrase perhaps will not Sseem so great in Radicl eyes. They also tell of a freedman named Scott, who was taken out Sand whipped in the vicinity of Homer. Niw this whipping was done by colored men, ani the reason of it was that .eott was an outra- d geous thief and richly destrvcd it. The above Sfacts we have from a respectable citizen of the parish. In St. Mary parislh they tll how ". Amrn brimne, a claim agent, alnd his servant, colorel, n were taken from their boarding houso in a SJeanerettes by a band of armed men at mi1i'l. night in June last, blind-folded, and carried o to the timber where they were threatened ti with instant death unless they would promise to never step their foot in the town again." Arnbrime was convicted in open court of swindlmg negroes out of money that he had B collected for them, and attempted to swindle ( a gentleman of Franklin out of money he P owed him. And this is a Iladical martyr' They say the gentleman in whose honse the l IRadical club in FIranklin had met was toll that unless he turnemd the club out his house would be lnrnt. The hest answr to this is tu the fact that this gentleman they refer to is now an enthusiastic Dlemocrat. The report as states: "It is impossible for a known Re. publican to walk the street- of Franklin i without being the recipient of the grossest personal abuse, andl this, too, in the presence w of men of the first respectability in the pa'- o ish." This is a falbehood, for we can mention l gentlemen in Frankiin who are we!l-known to O be Union men, who openly say they will vote of for Grant, and who yet are respected by their i' fellow-citizens and unmolested by them; but these gentlemen do not make incendiary J. speeches to the negroes or steal from their do fellow-citizens. They do publish a long rigmarole from a man called Pope, who laims to be sheriffof 8t. Mary parish, and tobe kept out of his office by "rebels." The facts bs are that the whole scalawag ticket, with but one trifling exception, was elected in St. Mary o pariah; but that the distrioct judge electeould wit not qualify, not having established a bona ide residence; that the recorder and the aheriff th both lid to pres t 1 d le d Ig straw seeurity, and that bthelaree the eMtinaes to bents are not yet legally thorized to give up n their omces, their suoeeeMor not being duly - qualifed. Thse trathse sve fbomn e of t- the most high toned and honorable gentlemen L of the State, a resident of St. Mary's parish, e and a man who knows whereof he speaks. n In the priah of Terrebone they report any r- number of murders. We are in the possession 1e of the facts of some of these murders. Two e white men were killed by members of the - Loyal League for being Democrats, and one negro was killed by members of the League, r which he had left to join the Democrats. About the other murders we have not yet heard, but ' doubt not they would tell the same tale of Radical intolerance of diference of opinion. This from a gentleman of unimpeachable ve D racity. h In conclusion we call upon thegood people of " the State to let us know the fads in regard to the r various statements made in this slanderous doe y ument relative to alleged outrages in the differ . ent parishes of the State. The Radicals will send this report all over the North as an elea e tioneering dodge, and it is due to our party, it is due to our own fair fame that we should com s bat the falsehoods both direct and indirect, in - it contained. We have shown how their state y ments melt away in every instance where the searching light of truth is brought to bear a upon them, and we are convinced that the more light that is thrown upon this infamous n concoction the stronger. will its dark features of falsehood and slander stand out. All we d wish to know is the truth. t- EDITORIAL PFR ASUOeAlM. TO. Germany has adopted our lecture system.

In this review of Itr- Its doings you will have preseated to your minds a brief history oe the pety which, if it add not to will your stock of informautio, will at least preeent at 104- a coup d'ril, the tout ensemble of its aspreoe. dented enormitiee. You all remember that ia 1820 7 it ourcountry was agitated for the frst time by the om- lavery question. That the greatpaci ea'ors rose from their seaets and proposd wh wn tem ad has ince been known as the celebrated Ilmoari Com ate- promise. The present Radical party was thes bat the a germ of what It now is. It opposed the measure on the ground hat It was not athorised by the Constitution of tue United States. In 1852, when the that great queseton was again brought to the at tention of Congress by Mr. Douglass, in the Kea. sae-Nebraska bill, this party that had so pertina ares ciously opposed ts enasetment. then faced about I we and opposed it abrogation. Time peased oa and lafter p 1 a stateew rm el peers, the taY heeeatated tmeeMadeet ON Baset ern ri ts. The Misouri Compromise having peen . abolished, the statesmen of the day thought that peace might be restored by its re-esactmenr. But this versatile party, true to its natoral penchant for a change oppoeed the measure with might and main. Here we flad it occupying both sidem of the question, and each time urging the constitutional s of ity of its opinions. in 1846, new ideas had crept into their melnd ota. respecting the doctrine of State rights, and al though nothing is plainer in the Constitution ear- ti an that provision whioh required of the states the rendition of fogitives from labor upon proper requisition being made, they enacted personal ven liberty bills in as many as twelve of the States. by which they denied to the federal functionaries en the gaged in the enforcement of the fugitive slave law, the use of their jails and prisons. They went Sfurther, and prohibited their State magistrates S from lasing warrants for the arrest of fngtives of this class, thus virtually nullifying the act of a of Congress of 1793, and setting at defiance the plainest teachings of the Conetitution of the United States. The ground alleged by the party re' for this act of rebellion against the authority of the government was that, the execution and ee agh! forcement of the law was the duty and exolualve prerogative of the federal government. Whilst fur- thus asserting what was the duty of the federal goverLment, they refused In 1850 to paps a more rue. stringent law in Congresm for the enforcement abli- of the fugitive slave law, because, they said, the tted return of fugitires was the duly of the s tates. ( an anything be more contradiotory than this ? Yet this is not all, for in 1861, not content with foot having occupied both sides of the question, as oes- party purposes required, they repealed all laws on the subject, taking the bold ground that the Constitution should not be obeyed in that regard. y, Here we have an introduetion to the ominous her majesty of the higher law doctrine, that had made its appearance under some diaguises in the per ikes monal liberty bills enacted in 1846. They magni fled the right of the States, even beyond Jefferso nian Democratic proportions, in 1858, and seal e- ously adopted the celebrated resolutiotm of 1898 ken. and 1899. They exalted the theory of State sor Ihe ernmets as agsant a centralisation of authority, and a consolidation of power, and absolutely pre you pared to array the States aganmst the federal an The thority. his was all done whilst they had posses aion of meay of the State governments. But i this, as in other things, a change was destined to come over their minds, for in 1862 the fortunes of polities had thrown the federal government Into their hands. They now denounced the doctrine of 8tate rights, and boldly declared that the reso tor, lotions of 1798-9 were pregnant with treason th against the gemermi govermeat. They did met hesitate to lay violent hsnds on the Constitutions on of the States then in a hostile attitude, and to obliterate them from the map of the Union. In and doing so, they forgot or ignored their former ad vocacy of the prerogatives of the States and dis franchised the people for seeking to keep and tl preserve inviolate the identical rights they had t aserted) and vociferously magnified in 1858. b'thu endeavoring by every inmaginable devise of r hellish ingesnity to convert all that they had on- matintained themselves into evidence of treason in us. Again, we find that in 1856 they declared that "'o war could be right and no peace could befl be wrong;" that if the Southern Staees desired to Sseve r their connection with the federal govern. b e ment, and thus to change their relations, they should be permitted to do so. Said they : " Let Sthe erring sisters depart n peace," "let the Union slide," etc. But no sooner had we availed our t selves of this concession than the bluts of a te mighty war rang out, and the powers of the gena n. eral government were wielded for our subjugation o and political destruction. In 1864, when Native Americanism sprang up in the country, and the motto was fulminated by party decrees that "Americans should govern America," they were ag zealously in favor of restricting the right of auf ye: frage to such aea proper interpretaticr of the an- motto would reach,on the grosnd that the one io Por cated and poverty stricken emigrants from the old sod world, were not sfficiently intructed, and had ad not sufficient interest in the property of the rof country, to render them safe depositeries of po isk litical power. But i 1867 they became obliviooe gh. to these arguments and indifferent to the clains of ing mind over nmatter, and by the exercise of uuorped by power they place the ballot in the hands of eld ;20,000 ignorant negroes from whose limbs the gyves of slavery hba just fallen. The ontrage did not end here; but they simultaneously dli lth franchised nearly or quite a quarter of a mUillion ade of those very men of intelligence and property rou who they had previously declared were the only in safe custodians of poltica power. In 1859, Gor. Cbhase, of Ohio, the man whom some of our Dem ocratic f'iendsre lately anxious to have momi nated for the presidency, asserted that the the Staes had rights which the general goverament in munt not invade, and which were superior to its Spower." But in 1867. Guyo. Hayes, up to the spirit th of the time and occupymg the summit of IRadical o progies, looked down with a haughty but ortho ge dox cntempt on the separate rights of the State s. and sternly declared that the 8tates had Ie no sovereignty at all. ire In Iu3 Lincoln issued his celebrated proclame le tion of emrfncipatin, so act for whch no o a he thority, express or implied, can be found in the as. Constitution, by any reasonable construction. Ir. Congress ratified It in 1864 by a special act to ts that effect, thous acknowledging the p,-er of the his president to emancipate 4,000,000 of staves, the property of persons by the plainest provisions of the Constlitution; but in 1867 they declared that She bhad not the power to remove a spy and a S ~ritotr hrm bisown cabire'.

Thus you will perceive, my fellow-citizena, that after forcifn ten Nttates out of the Union, which they asserted could not go out by ny atof of their own, they still boustingly assert that they are par excellence a Union party. From what 1 have shown of their administra tion; their duplicity on all questions they have ever thought proper to make politial capital out of, can it be said that they have any accurate ap preciation of constitutional law? Row what is our position to-day ? Let ua look at it for a mo mast. Here are men, mere adventurers, the pets and favorites of those higher In authority; men who have exhausnted the public treasury by unpre cedented apprepriations, who are knows to have usurped their powers, now preasding over us, robbing us of our substance and reduoing as to poverty and want. Is it not a sad commentary on human nature and a burlesque on oonatitu ticnal government, that those who have obliterated States, trampled on Constito tions, and thus morally perjured them selves before God and honest men, should probe our conscdences by administering oaths to us ? 1i4 It not a deplorable state of affairE when, by the unauthorized otralsiens of the Redical party, Louisianians are to be made the only allieas in Louisiana ? Yet such Is to be the practical re sult of the system of registration lately adopted and now being carried into effeot. Shall we sub mit to such a palpable denial of our constitutionul rights? Are these arbitrary registrars thus to hold our liberties in abeyance sad at their mercy, whilst their menial vote and deprive 's of a voice ? I know not what you. geotlemen of the city, are inclined to do, but if I be not very muoo mistaken in the temper of the people in the inte. rior of the country, they intend to vote, whether registered or not, provided they have that right under the Constitution. Such has bea my assmour ance to one who is high in authority in this State at this time. One word as to the country and our political prospects there, and I will have said all I had in tended. I lave been actively engaged since the campaign opened in speaking to the colored people. I mustsay I have found them orderly sad attentive. bhe principal diculty we have is nla getting them to attend our gathering. We have found that their obligations to their leagues and clubs deter many from coming to hear as, who would otherwise listen to our instructions and join us. Another obstacle to our success is the sal veral want of funds. Our people are in debt, and it Is the moss difficult thing in the world to make such demonstrations u are calculated to win the admiration of the black man. If we only had a little of the money all your beautiful para. phernalia show you to have expended in your gal lant club, it would greatly aid us in propagating our political faith, witheut detriment to your erae of duty or disparagement to your aboadant fond of information. Fearig that I have taxed your patience beyond my proper limits, and thaik ing you sincerely for your kind attention to my remarks, I bid you a good night. Laborty.

He hu Just returned from a two months' tour over Texas, where he has ban ap. pointing agents and establishing the busineas of his company on a satisfactory balo. This is one of the moot prosperonus of our Sourthern life lnsurance companies. Its affairs are evidently in the hands of mren of energy and floancial ability. We learn from a late paper from Harrisonbourg, Va., that a gentleman of that town, a'few months ago, insured his life in the Piedmont Company. Week befcre last he died. A few days after hin death, W. C. Carringlon, presidem of the Pied mont, passing through Harrlonburg, learned the fact of the death of the policy holder, sad that the family were in narrow clrcnmstance. The term of the policy allowedltho company ninety days' grace before the payment could be de manded, but Mr. Carrifngton immediately waived that right and wrote the widow a check for the full amount of the policy. We refer our resders to the advertisement of the Piedmont in our colomns and to Gean. Maury, 24 Union street, fLr any further particulars regard ing this sound and prompt bouthern company.
