He made a good speech, and was well received by those who heard it. It is our purpose to give this speech, or its contents in full, in a few weeks. It strikes the people. Last week, dispatches in regard to the Ten Broet k and Mollio McCarthy race at Ixiuisville, were inserted in this paper under the impression and on information that they were paid for by a number of gentlemen here, although sent and signed by a Colum bian in Louisville, selected for that ptuiiose. Our latest intelligence is that such was the fact. In the hurry and haste that always immediately pre cedes "going to press," the proper thanks and credit due were omitted. It is understood that laith parties in this State will embrace the occasion of the fall election to raise the standard of our membership in Congress. There is room for improvement, especially in the country districts where the rule generally prevail to restrict the rep resentative to two terms. The ell'ect of this unwise system has been to throw the membership into the hands of small iMiliticians, with here and there a notable example.

Where uion," saith deponent, "Grant removed his cigar and responded, 'Stranger things than that have hap pened.' " Eejublican Party Falling to Pieces, Wendell rhilllpe. . The Republican party had no leads ers. It looked up to great and earnest men, but it had no half-dozen leaders. Wade, Chase, and Giddhigs, Stevens and Cameron, Seward and Greeley, Lincoln, Sumner, Stanton, Andrew, Wilson, Hale and Fessenden, Palfrey and Adams, were equals; no one, or three of them, claimed precedence. The cement of the party was a princi ple, not any idolatry, like that w hich made the Whig cling to and echo Wei ster and Clay. The men who cre ated the Rupublican party were men of convictions. They sought, more or less directly, but in dead earnest, to limit and kill slavery. The men whom the Republican party has created are not men of convictions. They seek only to use for party or personal ends the power they have inherited. Lacking its old cement a great purpose the party is falling to pieces, like bowlders from a wall without mortar. Its managers have been so dull and timid in using .their great victory, they have so wasted their op portunities, that they have puttered the Southern question their whole capital to fall prematurely into abey ance. On their own theory they stand to-day with no raisnii. d't trr, no ex cuse for theirexisten'-e. Theirstrength lay in a public opinion well informed as to Southern purpose and the na ture of Southern civilization, and watchful of the possible reaction from its sore defeat. The events of the ten years licfore the war were what taught and trained that opinion. Jtut a gen eration has come upon the stage since. The active young men, the van of party movement, were then in their cradles. They knew nothing of those events as they took place, and the his tory ot them is not yet written. We have heard more than one man, twenty-live years old, ask, with natural iirnorance, "Was there ever a mob in Roston, and what was it alout?" Sow George 5 were at Monmouth. PhllAciplpula Times. On this anniversary of the battle of Monmouth, it is worth while to recall one of the authorities, though a very questionable one, for the tradition that ashmizton swore at J iee in the way the occasion demanded. It Is told by George Washington rarke I ustis in his "Recollections " General diaries Scott, of Virginia, was a very profane man, and a friend, alter the war, anx ions to correct his bad habit, askei him if "the admired Washington" ever swore, "les, once," answered Scott, after a moment's reflection; "it was at Monmouth, and on a day that would have made any man swear. Ves, sir, he swore on that day till the leaves shook on the trees, charming- ly, delightfully. Never have I en loved such swearing lietore. Sir, on that ever memorable day he swore like an angel from heaven." It would In? hard to convict George uion such romantic testimony as tins, out so precious a tradition could not be aban doned even if it were supported by no testimony at all. Co South.

Tho Only Eopafop th Country Wendell Philips en the South, The Greenback Ifgyement and Communism. The following are extracts from an article by Wendtl ThiUns on "The Outlook" in the North Amcricaia Iic view for July and August : Ihe South rules to-day in Congress rightfully. In the long run brains rule, but in critical moments courage rules. Though North is the abler sec tion, the South lias thecourage of con viction, and lion-like, never wails to count the sheep. What the Soutu will finally do .with her victory-, uossihlv even Southern men themselves do not know. She waits on events. It is fair to confess that she has more than cour age. The has the wit to see and the quickness to seize opiortunities. She never mistakes her men. She knew Andrew Johnson, and reached him by assassination. He was a character dasv of explanation. . Poverty and and birth-place, race and giddiness lie- got ny success, fully explain him. Rut Jiaycs, the gift Northern blun J : ..I 1 . . . uenug uas mauo 10 me Boutn, is a phenomenon hard to explain. No or dinary amount of follv or wicked ness will account for him, and he is of too narrow capacity to justify us in attributing his course to any large de sigu. liut sphinx or otherwise, he has served to hold the stirrup for the South 10 vauu mto tne sauaie. Whatever be the result of Mr. Pot ter's investigation, his victory shows that the prudent men of the south are driven headlong, incapable of the least resistance" to dangerous courses by the worst elements of the North ern Democracy and by their own mad followers at home. The pretty speeches of Lauiar and Gordon, even if not alisoluto hypowrisy, are only drois of rosewater hung on the mad surface of Southern hate. What was Stephens' protest, or .Lamar's opinion on tne sil ver bill, or Gordon's on resumption. when their constituents growled dis sent? Mere chips on Niagara. Mr, Potter's success shows that when once in the saddle the old Uourbon south w ill rule, and either warp the nation" to her reactionary mood, or drive the North olf by provoking her to secede, If the southern leaders can mannge their followers they will never again leave the L'nion. To rule inside of it with such rigor, or wrench it to such injustice as will place the North under their feet, or drive it out this is the lesson learned by Appomattox The South will never again voluntari ly take up arms against the Lmon. Rut Mr. Potter's success reveals that, nevertheless, such madness is within the jwssible future. This constitutes the real value of the transaction, the revelation it makes of the condition of the solid South: it continued vassal age to the reckless and dangerous class w hich, in JWil, dragged a unnu ami reluctant aristocrats, and their foot stool, the Northern Democrat, into rebellion. At any moment another gun tired at Sumter muy plunge the nation into war. As matters stand to-day, with no keen interest in any question except finance, the South has the choice of the next President. Conciliating the W est by her concurrence on finance, she Jiolds all the cards. Unless a rad kal change is wrought in the coming vear, a Western Democrat on a soft inoney platform will lie the next pres ident, and some Southern Confederate leader, civil or military, wilPbe Vice President. Such u- we consider the strength of this riiu::cial issue if left unchallenged. Men call the greenback movement delusion and fanaticism. What is fa naticism? It is enthusiasm blinding judgment. It ispnj Jdiee obstinately clinging to tlieories in spue 01 lacis that disprove them. Ia-1 us ask, then, who to-day are the fanatics judging by this rule. ljok at the facts, the world over. Whenever during the last cen tury, either of our great nations has seen its existence threatened by civil war or foreign assault, instantly that nation has run to the shelter of paper currency, and generally lieen thus en abled to survive the storm. This is fact, not a dream. Does it prove that jiaper money is necessarily ruin and shipwreck? Does it not rather look as if a paper currency had some quali ty in it that called forth to the last dollar the resources of the people, and so stimulated their energies that they could avail themselves of all their pos sible and hidden iower ? When a man strips to light for his life, he puts him self in the condition aurl posture to do his In st. When the nation girds her self for a last' desperate struggle for existence, what does history tell us she has unformly done? History tells us that a nation in such extremity has uniformly thrown oil" every encum brance, stopped every drain on her re sources, stimulated every possible power of production, economized all her means, and guarded herself as carefully as possible from all foreign interference with her business prosper ity. How lias she secured and effected all this? History answers, "Ry re sorting to a papvr currency." There need le no fear of commun ism. Capital and labor have no divid ing li le here. Like the colors on a dove's neck, they join and unite every, where. We have mingled freely with workingmen. and never yet met one who did not lielieve and proclaim that the interest of capital and labor were one. The duty of-the Republican party is nlain. It'.still holds within its lines all the elements which attract and de serve confidem e; it still has the power to lead ; only courage and decision are wn n tin if. it siiouki place lisen at in head of the new movement. It can not buy, but it can alsorb the new nartv. Plainly, now, tlie hrstmity is to take care of the material interest of the nation. If it were possible to rouse the public and liegin at once a crusade to execute justice and sive the l'nion, that in this' crisis would still be the first duty. Conflict of arms and blood shed ma v. at anv moment, reveal to blinds ed eves this duty. Rut while this de lusion of peace without purity, of peace not based on justice, lasts; while tne South imagines the North a cow ard only because she is foolish, and the North accepts, in the South, a hypo crite for a br icr, laUir claims every ear and every hand. Public oplujon is too strong to Irre sisted ; too wise to be long misled. The people, it has lieen said, do not . nil 1 A. XI. .

Various cor respondents at Berlin agree that the settlement now reached implies tliat the fortifications shall Ie completely dismantled and no men-of-war sta tioned in the harbor. The IjxVh . Berlin correspondent says that as compensation for the loss of Batoum, the congress has decided that the Turks -snail retain Bayazia, and the whole valley leading thereto, mcludmg Alastrgerd. A Berlin coreespondent telegraphs that he learns from trustworthy sour. ces that in St. Petersburg, and still more in Moscow, great indignation is felt at the results of the congress. The Russian diplomatists in general, and plenipotentiaries at Iterlin in particu lar, are spoken of with great contempt. They do nothing, the people say, but make concessions and are ready to ac cept any liumihation to gain the ap probation of Europe. Some of the Greeks in Berlin seem to have recov ered a little from tlie profound dejec tion and strong animosity which the decision of the congress regarding the Hellenic question at first produced. and the more cool-headed among I hem begin to perceive that the best policy is to make the most of w"hat has been obtained. A telegram from Vienna points out that Batoum is not to tie a free port like Altoua, but is to lieeonie a Rus sian free port, quite a different thing, Itespectiug t rete, the solution pro posed by the congress is considered un acceptable at Athens where public opinion is exasperated, friday, a manifestation, in whicli 15,000 people participated, took place in front of the King's palace.

J ins is all our information at this writing. As the mattvr- progresses we will give the facts. It is the cheekiest piece of bra vado on record. Gen. Sutler's ITe-y Departure. Xew Vork Herald. In his Newbury i Krt speech, on the 1th of July, General Rutler declared war against the national banks, and laid down his own platform in these words; "My proiiositioii is that we should issue four hundred millions in non-interest bearing bonds of the I'ni- ted States to settle the unemployed laboring alien of the I 'nited States up on the public lands of the I nited States." He added: "No more notes of the I'nited States can be issued than the people choose to take, and if they near no interest those winch are is sued involve the country in no debt." Jlereis at any rate a distinct plat- lorm, niantiiiiy stated, and while we do not agree with General Rutler, and are surprised to fiud linn following m track ot Mr. Hetidnck P.. Wright, of Pennsylvania, who made a similar proposition last year, we are not dis- imksihI to sneer at him, as some of our "esteemed con ten libraries" are doing. He is as wrong as wrong can be; but he will have to be met with argu ments and not with sneers. We are glad to see that he told the laboring people whom he addressed that vio lence is wrong and a blunder.. "The evils of the day," lie said, "caiinot be reached by sporadic riots and viok-nce. The men who made the riots last sum mer effected no alleviation of the puli lie misery. Our remedy is theballot." That is sound and American doctrine; and so long as we all agree to submit our dillering views to the decision of the ballot it does not much-matter what views are urged. Gen. Butler thinks a distribution of four hundred millions of dollars in pauer money among the unemployed tailoring men of the country, to put them on public lands, would cure all our woes. Me has a right to put forw ard his views and to get. as many people as he can to vote for them. Said Mountain Again Attracting Atten tion. As-ii vjr.i.K, A. C, July 7.

A letter from Mr. Turner, dated the Gth, states that one hundred volunteers are at Pilot Rack, about eighteen miles from Camas prairie, having scouts out and will remain until the soldiers go northward. If these reports are cor rect, we will hear in a day or two of the result. The following dispatch Avas also re ceived: JTeadtiiartcrs of the Dcprtincnt of the Cofunitna, in l lie Jicta, July o. Col.

A dispatch to the Arofani-fie from John J lay' valley. wieaking of tlie recent depre dations there by the savages, says that the latter are monarch of u lUt-y survey, the area ot territory now- invested by them embraces some four thousand square miles, combining all facilities for a prolonged war. There are hard'y eight hundred people iu Canyon City, and less than one liun dred of the male adult population are armed. The main street of the town is within easy rifle range of the sur- rouncmg eminence, which afford nu merous points of vantage for an at tacking party, and the whole village is completely at mercy of an incon siderable number of savages, were they disposed to sack it. The ttrrar stricken inhabitants nave taken refuge for several days m a huge tunnel. built tor niinig purposes, which affords the only aale retreat in tne valley I Attempted AMuetion. Nkw' York, July 7- Miss Louise K. Heuser, an attractive Brooklyn girl, seventeen years old, was the victim of a dastardly outrage at the residence of her brotuer-in-law, lr. Masbreok, in Milton, on the Hudson, on the eirenirj of July 4th. Her relatives were ausetii in an udtoinliik' icin. and she had spent the everfhig wJlii a jaw n party at a'neighbor's house. She re turned home at ten o'clock, went Into the parlor, and sat down to the piano. She sounded three or four notes, and. as shi vt& lij.iXlii,! liij hjir mind what to play, he neara a' toqUtpp pohlnd her. Turains anoui. tine awi a tali, thin man dre-sted ia dark clothes, with a thick black-cloth mask covering his face. The scouudrel attempted to seize hei1, but she etded his grasp and made for the window. The ft-llu chased her about thq room and out into the hall, where a, shorter Wa4 stood holaing the inside knob of tb,ej hall door. On seeing her be let go the knob and rushed to the other's aid, exclaiming, "Catch her, Jack, or she'll scream." Then the two thrust a sponge containing chlqroform to her nose and mouth, axd she sank sense less in their arm.-?. The rest was com- paratively easy. The wretches strip ped th defenceless girl, leaving on one garment only, and threw her clothing through the open door into the parlor. Then a noise was heard as of some one opening tlie garden gate, and the two fled, leaving Louise uninjured, but still senseless on the floor. Her feet were against the door, and the caller, who was Mr. Charles H. Conner, found some difficulty in getting the door open. When he did open it, and realized what had hap pened, a shout weut up which sum moned many villagers to the spot. Without waiting for aid, Mr. Conner wrapped a table-cover over the inani mate girl, carried he up-etairs, and laid heron the bed. Mrs. Conner, Mrs. Townsend, and other neighbors did every thing in their power for Louise's comfort, and by the aid of restoratives and prompt medical assistance she revived. An ordinary physician's sponge cut in two, so as to completely cover her nose and mouth, was found tied over her face with two strips torn from a towel which hung in her bedroom. PENSIONS. The Latest .Legislation of Congress the Subject. on arious inquiries nave arisen in re gard to the pensions by the (Jeneral Government in consequence of rather indefinite statements which have lieen made relative to some legislation of Congress on the subject at about the close of the late " session. In looking into the matter it is ascertained that an act which passed March 9, bS5H au thorizes pensions to all soldiers of the war of 1K12 who served fourteen days and upwards, and to their widows, provided tlie latter have not married again. A still later act was passed, however, in regard to pensions grow ing out of the casualties of the late war. Under it section 4709 of the Re vised Statutes of the I'nited States now provides that "all pensions which have lieen or may hereafter be granted in consequence of death "occurring from a cause which originated in the service since the 4th day of March, lsci, or inconsequence of wounds or injuries received or disease contracted since that date, shall commence from the death or discharge of the person on whose account the claim lias been or is hereafter granted, or from the termination of the right of the party having prior title to such pension; pro vided, that the application for such pension has lieen or is hereafter filed with the Commissioner of Pensions w ithin five years after the right there to has occurred; otherwise the pen sion shall commence from the date of filing the last evidence .necessary to establish the same, liut the limitation prescrilied shall not apply to claims by or in behalf of insane persons and children under sixteen years of age." This act was passed during the last session of Congress. A Sound declaration. One of the licst documents we have seen for a long time, settingforth polit ical doctrines, is the plattorm adopted the other day by the J)emoeratic State Convention of Ohio. The platform was received by the convenaion with en thusiastic cheers, and was indorsed alike by the iieculiar followers of Thurman and Pendleton, who have heretofore maintained a difference of opinion resiecting the nnancial ques tion. Upon that question the plat form contains the following declara tion: "We demand as further acts of Justice, as well as measures of relief, the alisolute rep'.al of the resumption act and the liberation of the coin hoarded in the Treasury; the removal of all restrictions to the coinage and re-establishment of silver as money, metal the same as gold the same as it w as liefore its fraudulent demoneti zation; the gradual sutistitutionof Uni ted States legal-tender paper for nation al iKink notes, and its permanent es tablishment as the sole paper monev of the country, made receivable for all dues to the Government, and of equal tender with com, the amount of such issues to Ik o regulated by legislation or organic law as to give the people in assurance of the stability in vol ume of currency and consequent sta bility of value; no further increase m the ixmded debt and no further sale of bonds for the purchase of coin for re sumption purposes, but the gradual extinction of the public dettt, rigid economy and the reduction of expen ditures in all branches of the public service, and a tariff for revenue du ty." 1 he foregoing declaration ot princi ples should be accepted as the basis of Democratic organization throughout the Union. It expresses the senti ment of three-fourths of the business men of the country and of nine-tenths ot the laboring classes. It is clear and unequivocal, and may be hailed as the ground upon which the Presidential contest of 1-8-.I will be fought. The Ohio platform suits the Kentucky Democracy exactly, and, w ere a Dem ocratic Convention to lie held now in tlie State, it would be ratified with scarcely a dissenting voice. Louis rilfc A"' '. A Strong Government -with Grant at the Eead. New York Sun. Such a Government is what Gen. G. M. Dodge thinks fhe United State will demand. Gen. Dodge is an Iowa Republican nut ne is now m i'aris, and this pre diction was made by him, in a letter to a friend at home. What is partic- larly interesting about it is that the letter was written immediately aft along, confidential conversation with Gen. Grant. 'Cnlcss 1 read the times wrongly writes Gen. Dodge, "it will not long before the United States will de maud at its head a strong Govern ment, and a man who can preserve it against ail comers and all issues, and that man will lie Grant." A strong Government! that means a Government verging more nearly on a monarchy man our Government does at present. If this was tbe idea of Gen. Dodge alone, it might be of comparatively little consequence, But evidently tl,., i.,,. ..,!. .-.... i., i ii-l. IUl4.iljljli 1 UC11 Wlt-lllL a. unit li is simply repeated by Dodge, after the manner of a parrot. Instating It he mentions that Gen. Grant had walk ed a long distance from the hotel where he is stiying to call on him. and adds, with conspicuoussimplicitv l don t Know nut i am encroaching upon a quiet conversation, but 1 could not help telling y ou this much." In a long, quiet confidential talk with his old comiwinion- in arms Grant had let out this idea, and Dodge could not help telling it. I hat is th'J whale Grant has not much originality: he has not many ideas of bis own: but all he has are of a dejiostie, monarchical Government, with himself at its head. Grant for life, or (irant with a prqwq; Americans: are you ready fbjp thlfcV ' Gov.

The parties i-epresenting Virginia in a pecuniary and industrious iioint of view csenator witners, Judge cruell er and Addison Borst returned home to-day. During their visit here con ferences were held with some of the leading European steamship lines, and every encouragement in the way of forwarding emigration from Europe to tne "Old Dominion" received European- farmers are wanted to ti l tbe lands in Virginia, and the aid of European capitalists is wanted to de velop the water power and other in dustries of the State. - It is-thought likely that Gen. Fitchugh Lee and United States Senator Johnson will' soon visit Europe in furtherance of tlie object in view. ' Conferences were also held with some of tfee large cred.tors of the State of Virginia, but these- were not .im portant in their result", as concert of action would tie necessary, and this was not possible in the short time the visitors were here.- What is desired is a.conciliatory or 'helping hand from bondholders, each 'interest (thenion tyed and emigration) aiding theother. The present and luture value or safety or tne security of lrguna, and, m fact, any State, rests largely in the improvementof the industrial resour ces of the State, and if the debt ques tion can but ;ind a satisfactory solu-. tion much will be' gained by those seeking the generaLwelfare. Jtiscon tended that the American holders of the debt of Virginia, and other South ern States as well, are not willing to compromise their claims on as easy terms to the States as are the foreign holders. The Barings, w ho own 'hea vily of Southern securities, are espe cially mentioned as anxious to come to an adjustment, and other large for eign houses are with the Barings, in this. How the conflicting interests are to be harmonized is the question the future must have. Perhaps the visit of Messrs. Lee and Johnston to Euroiieas.the represenlativesof Virgin ia may cipeii the way for a settlement of this really important matter. With the debt question in its pres ent position the South cannot prosper as it otherwise would. Scarcely a wet k ago a prominent Southern gentleman called on a leading banker in Wash ington for aid to one of the Southern States, and he was informed that on his own individual name the firm would be happy to accommodate him with such funds as he might desire, but not a dollar would they advance to the State. And this is precisely the feeling in 2tew York. THE INDIAN WAS. Gen. Ilonnril Atincks n Larue Ilon llle Force. lb(Hvnt-n Driven from Kercrnl I'o. Billons mid RoiiKmI, San Francisco, July Id. A dis patch received at the army headquar ters from Gen. Howard, dated "Head of Birch Creek, July says that he found tbe Indians in force on a height near the head of Butler creek, lie advanced two columns one under Throckmorton, consisting of twocom panies of artillery, one of infantry and a few volunteers, and the other under Bernard, consisting of seven companies of cavalry, and twenty of ltoiiiims' scouts. Howard accompa nied the latter column. Bernard's scouts notified him of the vicinity of the hostiles when the cavalry moved forward at a trot over three foot hills. each over a mile in ascent. The In dians were strongly posted in a rocky crest. One company was left with a pack train. The others deployed and advanced handsomely under a heavy tire. The ascent is described as steep er than that at Missionary Kidge, but not a man broke ranks, though sever al saddles were emptied and many horses killed. Ihe ene ny were driv en from their position to another height iu the rear of greater elevation. and crowned w ith natural defenses of lava rocks. In twenty miuitcs this position, also, was stormed from dill- erent sides at once, and a rapid pur suit of flying Indians commenced. wno abandoned horses, provision ammunition and camp material. Tbe hostiles made for the thick timber crowning iiue ringe, and made an other stand, but were again dislodged and pushed four or five miles further in the mountains. The rough country aud great exhaustion of the men and horses caused a cessation of the pur suit for to-diij-. In this engagement, five enlisted men yvere wounded, and about twenty horses killed. It is im possible to state the loss of the enemy. Their women and children and best horses were moved liefore the fight lie gan, apparently in the direction of the Grande Bonde, and the hostiles fled in that direction.
