I\m1 master-General Creswell is again given
n generous Bpaoe in the (solumns of The
Titiuusi:, this moniing, tliat he may defend
his a?tioii on the Cborpeuning claim. The
charge* in this inatU r Lave btH\ widely cir?

tainly none too early in meeting them. lint
it m unlucky for him thrtt, like nearly every

1 Ins counter-blast, it is understood, is to the
4'H'oct that Great Britain did use due diligence
iu prev?-nting the escape of the Rebel emisora,
ko far a? local law wa* e??ctive to that end.

xiuuioroua and imposing iu their standing, did
?rit appear ; only lleamish, his Chambers
Cleik, wae there to aid him by his swift tes
timony. There is something a little pitiful in
I hie sudden desertion by those, on whom he
)iae depended for assistance in extremity. Tbe
clerk, however, did hit beet to make np for
?he defection of the other witnesses, as he
atwore emphatically that Barnard's conduct on
?he bench had been nothing but "decoron?,

Irlr. Beainiah's idea* of propriety, delicacy,
and decorum |re a little peculiar.
Iowa had a spirited Liberal Convention,
yeeterday, at which a Ktat? ticket was nom?

Onr Washington dispatches indicate t'
whiit little remnant of a show of respect wh

Geo. Wiu. Curtis'? pet delusion has nt 1
liecn utterly swept away. A great scare 1
seized on the souls of the heads of the 0,
ernnient. Why should they caro for Ci
Service Reform ?
Perhaps a war among the Central Ainerit
Republics is a tiitle more important than
revolution in any one of them. The war '
tween San Salvador and Honduras lias so
begun in earnest that the Salvadorinns hn
occupied Ornea, a coast village of Hondur
and seven persons were killed. Tlie bat
was the tragical prelude, however, to a far
The conquering Salvadorian General?Met
nieta?seized the Yioc-Rrcsident of Hoiidur
who happened to be at Omoa, compelled h
to proclaim him (Mendnicta) I'resident of I
Republic, and was actually inaugurated. T
may be regarded M a good joke; but the n
I'resident is hurrying up with reenforcomen
ami the invader may be obliged to lly p
cipitately over the border.
The formal separation of ('.en. N. F. Ran
from the _f__t ranks is noteworthy on i
count of his prominent standing in tlie 1
publican part} of Xew-Lnghtnd, his natii
reluctance to quit that organization, a
his national reputation. In the ft
atmosphere of Massachusetts, we ?m- (
pect to find radicalism, but not sudd
changes. Tho letter of Gen. Ranks, win
we publish to-day, indicates the complete aj
cerity of his convictions and his detcrmiu
tion to sacrifice mero personal relations to
overwhelming sense of patriotic duty. Tin
are many more leading and conscientious in
in tho party which (jen. Ranks lias left w
will soon follow his and Senator Simmer's |

Are Democrats rebels f So many simpl
minded people aro asking this question, t
Hon. Oeo. W. .lulian hus thought it wor
while to make a portion of his late speech
Williamsport, Ind., an answer thereto. I
confesses to have been elected to Congre
once by a combination of Freo Soilers aj
Democrats; and he does not know that he
a radical of tho radicals?was ever any wor
for it. And, beyond this, ho instances mai
leading men in the anti-Liberal paity, lil
( i rant, Morton, Rutler, and others, wl
were Democrats, and now call themselves som
thing else. Mr. Julian is known and respect?
throughout the Union ns the father of tl
Homestead Law, and of the reformed lac
system of tho country. He has always bet
identified with the best and most beneficei
movements in behalf of laboring men, an
his voice and vote have been on tho si?
of generous and liberal legislation. Tl
portion of his speech which wo print to-day
an excellent argument against keeping up fo;
ever the old cry of "disunion, treason, an
"rebellion."
The Vermont Liberals fairly begun the;
campaign, yesterday, by tho nomination of
State titl.ct and Electors and tho election c
a State Committee. This is tho work of
joint convention, those called by Demo
trafic and Liberal Committees having fratei
njzed. The nomination of A. B. (lanlner fo
(iovernor will be a popular one. He is an ol
Republican, has been an efficient State leg?
islator, and occupies a good position in th
State as a substantial citizen. The candidat
for Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. W. II. Binghan;
is a Democrat,' and the Presidential Lie
tors are divided between tlio tw.
branches of the Liberal organization
Tlie _oadilution of Converse by the Gran
party has, so far, been very coldly received
Converse is an aged man, a persistent af_t*j
seeker, and his selection by tho Conventioi
was tho result of a jugglo on the Senatoria
question which disgusted many honest am
fair-minded Republicans. Liberalism ha
lately made astonishing progress in Vermont
ainl recent startling political events will servi
to fan tho springing flames.
TUE SOUTH CAltOLISA KLF.Crj<>\.
The returns do not yet warrant any positiv,
statement about the result in North Carolina
It is clear that there has beei
a very heavy vote, that thero hai
been no serious disorder, and that tin
cities first heard from show unexpected
Liberal Republican and Democratic gains
But, on the other hand, ono or tw(
losses are reported from tho west,
where wo reckoned only on gains
and it is possible that the gaiio
in the cities may prove deceptive, kt__J
caused by the return of negroes to their coun?
try places of registry where they are now foi
the first time required to vote.
The indications however arc that the nogrc
vota has either fallen off, or been a little di?
vided. There seems no reason to doubt thai
the white vote, especially in the Western
part of tlie Statu, is uuprccedent
edly heavy ; and the probabilities
therefore point strongly to an Administration
defeat. When Raleigh shows a Liberal Re?
publican and Conservative gain of 050 ovei
the vote In 1?70, when the Democrats
carried the State; i\hcu Wtldon shows a
similar gain of 55, and Beaufort, overrun as it
has been witlr negroes, a clear majority of 25,
and one Ward in Wilmington a gain of 154,
tho scattered returns certainly give some
hint of a general popular movement
sufficient to sweep the State. Returns
received after the hour of this writing (2:15
a. m.) may change the aspect ; but our present
judgment is that the indications clearly point
to the election of Merriraon, and the rout of
the Grant Administiatiou on the lii-t held of
the campaign. It is a held we could have af?
forded to lose; but they cannot.
But little can yet be gathered as to the re?
sult* in the doubtful districts on the vole lor
Congressmen. It is clear that the Vlth, VMtli
und VU It h Districts have been carried by tho
Liberals and Democrat?. In tho Vth District,
where Mr. Settle, late President of the I'hila
delpbia Convention, was n candidate, th? prob?
ability seem? to bo that ba is defoated by
a riiiall majority The four district* on
tin) ct,,"^!?! '?ido ol the Stute have beou geu- ]
orally conceded to the Administration. The
1st District, however, is doubtful, and the
monger news received indicares Administra?
tion los* s, while the IVth is believeil in Ra?
leigh to have boon earned against the Admin?
istration. ___?__________?_

?"Figures are tiresome," says Mr. Orosvcnor
in giving this st.inning repoit of insolvency,
taxation, and general ruin. We disagree with
bun. Those ligures have the morbid intciest
of a nightmare romance. Tho ruin Is so
enormous as to rivet the attention by a sort
of fascination. Hero is an aggregate publie
debt in nine States of over $200,000,000. We
have heaid of a mountain of debt before, but
here aro whole ranges of Biich mountaink,
Alps of insolvency arise on Alps. Nor is this
I War Debt?it is the hideous ofh-pring of
Anarchy masquerading in .the stolen robes of
Peace; it is the monstrous bastard begotten
by caipet-baggers upon a ravished body
public. What a .spectacle of scoun?
drels In all the places of tiust
und emolument !?of whole festoons of leeches
swelling with the public life-blood, until sa?
tiated they drop off and sink into their orig
inal obscurity !?of depreciation of those val?
ues which, among nu agricultural people,
afford the best indications of prosperity or of
pauperism ! Never was a more systematic
greed gratified by semi-legalized felonies!
We must go back to the provincial govern?

friends, mid an honest figlrt could never be
followed by a frank and liearty reconcilia?
tion. When Mr. (Jreeley va? waging war
tfaiojt the principles of the Democratic party,
he was, M (leu. Kwing says, always in the
thickest of the light. He never coneeal??l his
Hi'iitinieiits, anil tin? bitterest 0? his adversaries,
w?' believe, never Ml used hin of hypocrisy.
And if he said hard things of the Democrats,
they said things quite as han! of him. But in
the course of history we hav? reached a timo
when Mr. dreeley and the Democracy can
agree. Neither sacrifices principle ; but the
old issues aro Bettled; the ?'?nls which Mr.
(Jreeley sought to accomplish, the overthrow
of Slavery and tho estnhlisinicnt of eipial
rights, are already seemed; the Democratic
paily accepts the result ; whai reason is there
then why these old ad vers,nies should not bo
at peace? There is no plank in the ('incm
nati plat form which both cannot honorably
and consistently adopt.
But i?-conciliation is flomrthing which the
(liant Kepiiblioans cannot unili-istand. They
made a collection of Mr. drceley's sharp say?
ings against the Democracy of former years,
and sent it to the Baltimore Convention. Ah
if the Convention cared! Let the dead past
bury its dead ; the duties of tho new party
are with the piesent and the futur??; its lirst
?ind noblest task is to heal the wounds of the
war, and allay the sectional animosities which
the Adniinistraiion is doing so much to aggra?
vate aud piolong.

The old fiicnds and admirers of Mr. Stunner,
even tho.-e who have felt constrained to separ?
ate ban him on tho present political issues,
will read his letter of advice to the colored
people with renewed respect for tho dignity
and elevation of sentiment and the consistent
devotion to high principle which have made
the name of Charles Sumncr one of the most
illustrious in the political history of our day.
Mr. S.ininrr views the situation not as a paiti
sati but as a man of strong and delibcr
ato convictions, which date from a period
long before the foundation of the
lb-publican party and will last long
tftct that party has fulfilled its mission
and bi'ii merged in some new organization.
Mr. Sunnier lias always been the apostle of
piacc and human equality, lie was the fore?
most enemy of human slavery when "aboli
"tionist" was a term of reproach from ono
end of the country to the other. He has hcen
the list and wisest, friend of the freedmen in
the trying years since emancipation. He has
hcen loved and trusted by the colored race
above all other men in America. With this
he has stood forth like Mr. dreeley for a gen?
erous policy to all men, white as well as black.
"Nothing in hate, nothing in malice" was the
motto of one of his early speeches, and he has
held lo that all through his life, which, as he
i-ays in this recent letter, " places peace above
"all things except the rights of man." In the
alliance of Cincinnati ami Baltimore there?
fore Mr. Stunner beholds the adoption by North
and South of tho principles which have regu?
lated his whole career. It is a revolution, ho
says, which has not proceeded from politicians,
luit has sprung from a popular longing on
both sides for harmony and reconciliation.
It is a peace-offering which no lover of his
country and his fellow-man should hesitate to
accpt. " That Democrats, and especially thoso
"of tho South, Bhould adopt a life-time
"abolitionist for President, is an assur
" ?nice of willingness to respect tho rights
"of their colored lellow-cltizens with that re?
conciliation of which Huraco dreeley was
"an early representative. In standing by Jef
" ferson Davis at his trial and signing his
" b;..il-bond, he showed the same sentiment of
" humanity he so constantly displayed in stand
" in g by the colored race thioughotit their pro
" longed dial, so that the two discordant races
"find kindled hospitality in him, and ho thus
" becomes a tie of union." Mr. Sunnier would
hav?' been false to the teachings of his whole
life if he had not preferred thti party of recon?
ciliation and equal rights to the party of
M-ciiomil animosity and proscription.
His analysis of tho character of tho two
i-andidates is as keen ns his discrimination lie
twccii the two parti??. In Mr. dreeley he
recognizes an old Reformer and Abolitionist,
who has been from boyhood an earnest opponent
of Slavery, a friend of the colored people, an
advocate of impartial sutVrage, of peace, and
of equal rights. "To suppose that Horace
" Greeley, when placed whero he can do most
" good, will depart from the rule of his honest
" lile, is an insult to reason." President drant,
on the contiaiy, has never shown hostility
to Slavery or friendship for the enslaved.
To promoto his Santo Domingo scheme ho
committed a gross outrago u mn the black
republic of Hayti, and withott authority of
law sent an anned squadron into the harlsir
of Port-au-Prince to threaten the capture or
destruction of tho Haytian ships. He excluded
Frederick Douglass from the civilities which
he extended to ull tho o:her Santo Domingo
Coiiniiis-ioners because he was a colored man.
He had no word of sympathy for tho Civil
Bights bill, and when he was obliged to ad?
dress a letter to a meeting called in Washing?
ton to advocate that mensuro ho was careful
not to commit himself. lie never was even a
Bepulilicau till the Kepiiblicaua made him
President.
Mr. Sunnier, therefore, advises the colored
people to give their support to the Liberal
Kepublican movement. It has tho better can?
didates, tho better principles, the better plat?
form, and tlie bi tier friends. And ho reminds
colored men, iu conclusion, that their interests
are inseparably bound up with those of the
< ?immunity at large. They are a part of our
country. Where all aro piosperous they will
be tho gainers. Thoy are not to stand aside,

Feeling a doubt about North Carolina, for
which ihvy would seem to have ha?l s?mil oroa
sion, the Administration p?-oplc have providod
plentiful means of escape. If defeated,
they are ready with ample etcttscs ;
if Buccessful, they would have been
ready to declaro that it was in
spile of tin: bogeys which they had invented
What with the Ku-Klu\, "the Baltimore
" ni-trnies prowling in the back nettlenicnla;
(as Messrs. S.Hinders and Mowutt are styled)
and the bogeys which the correspondent of
the drant organ in this city has Ml up, there
weic scarecrows enough iu North Carolina for
all practical purposes. The pet bogeys
of tins exacerbated conespondcnt are
two single bogeys rolled into one and
colled Wood and Blimieiiberg. Tho re?
porter has lu-cul.ie u accustomed t> see the
nether side of things in New-York that he
was affright?-?! when Wood and Blunienberg?
whoever they may be?appeared in the Old
North State. The arrival of "these fellows,"
it is said, created I great stampede from the
Lilxral to the drant ranks. Yet the Kenomi
natniiiists were not grateful lor this aid but
abused them like pickpockets. Tho mysterious
bofzoys next turned up in Kinston, where H is '
said "the Democrats were prompted by Wood
" and Bluiii'iibeig to take advantage of tho
" provision of the law to .?rwirUlo the Itepub
"lioans out of the State." Still, things went
on very well, and the colored vote was
counted as surely solid for drant
until Wood ami Blunienberg came, after
which the c?ilored men ?lid not know for
whom they would vote. Says the organ's faith?
ful but alarmed reporter: "The machinations
"of Wood and Blunienberg, in pursuance of
" the instructions of Ethan Allen," etc. To be
sure, ho adds, nobody knows what those in?
structions wen-, but they must be something
very dreadful. These c inspirators were like
tho ghost in Hamlet who burrowed under
ground so fast. Innneiliately after their being
in Kinston they reappear widely separated. Blu?
nienberg, observes the correspoudeut, solemnly,
was separated from Wood ; he waa in
an excited and nervous condition. " The
whereabouts of Wood are unknown." (This
in a ghostly whisper.) " Blunienberg may
"have been posting venkrnt Democrats
" as to how the thing can be worked." Think
of that! How th?; thing can be worked!
This beats Ku-Kluxism. (?radiia?y, however,
tho trepidation of the reporter leaves him ;
reassured somewhat, he says that it is possi?
ble that tho Liberals " may get all the odium
"of rascality without any of the benefits."
How good a thing it Ls to get the benelits of
rascality without any of the odium, the
Administrationists best know.
So our exciteil friends un the other side have
only to look in tho columns of (Irnnt'x Own
and Bud all the consolation in defeat or cheer in
victory that Wood and Blunienberg can giv?;
them. Do they feel depressed at being routed ?
"It's all along of Wood and Blunienberg? gays
tho organ. Do they want another cause for
hurrah! "Wood and Blumenlierg frightened
" hosts of doubtful men into tho drant camp."
If it hadn't been for Wood and Blumenlierg,
says John Thomas, wiinging his napkin, all
would have been well. Good for Wood and Blu?
nienberg, says the sleek John, slapping his
plu.-h-covered thighs, they havo carried tho
State for us! Never were su? h conveniunt
bogeys before inv?-nte?l ; comfort in defeat and
champagne in victory ! Wood and Blumen?
lierg are more than all tilings to all men ;
they uro all men. So, if we have carried
North Carolina, wo havo tho credit of bogey.
If we have noty what is tho use of inventing

A suggestive example of tho lack both of
common s?nse and humanity in our present
system of treatment of convicts was given
last week in Philadelphia. Two men, Mara
and Dougherty, some time ago were committed
to the Penitentiary for an attempted brutal
assassination. Both, through political influ?
ence, were pardoneil by Gov. Geary a few
months since. Now, the point to which we
wish to call attention is the utter inetliciency
of tho treatment which society awarded to
these men, not only to amend them, but to
protect itself. Instantly, upon the commission
of their crime, tho costly machinery of a po?
lice for??;, courts, judges, lawyers, and juiies
is set to work upon them; they tuke their
places in an expensive establishment in a
corps of criminals, for whose support and se?
clusion the community is moro lu-avily taxed
than for the education of its youth.
But what is done to remove these convicts
out of the dangerous classes into the onltr of
useful law-atiiding citizens! An ineffectual
effort is mado to teach them a trade, it is
true. But tho natural expectation would be
that this penitentiary, with every other, would
offer itself ?is a hospital to the Christian world
where every sincere follower of tho dnat
Teacher would hasten, to strive to heal this
collection of moral leprosy. But the fact is
that this great mass of disease and corruption
of soul and mind is left to the care of a hired
and overwoike?l chaplain, whose single efforts,
bo they ever so strenuous, must prove inef?
fectual. I'pou one of these men the good seid
sowed did, however, yield fruit. I'pou recciv
ing his pardon he gathered his family aliout
him, showed no sign of resuming his
drunken habits, but, procuring tools, anxiously
sought for work at his old trade as carpenter.
It is impossible fur him to lind if. No simp
will receive him into its doors. The man and
his family, eager und sincere in sear? hing for
honest work, are absolutely reduced by society
to tho alternative of starvation or ?if going
back tof their criminal practices. The other
convict did not waste time with any such
futile and hopclos* attempts at virtue. He
went quietly back to his old associates and
habita, and as a sign of tho wholesome und
curative (ffects of prison treattii?'Ut, mado Un?
til st uso of his freedom in.murdering his ben?
efactor and personal frieml, who had precure?!
his release.
The story is one of those t?>xu which preach
its own serniiai, and needs no deduction ol
ou?s. Then is scarcely, however, a costly
pal.i?e prUun or house of refuge in the coun?
try winch does not suggest tin- ?itiestion, "To
