CIVIL WAR.

IL is useless to disguise the fact, or at
tempt to conceal from our readers that the
public mind now apprehends renewal of
strife and civil war. II is topic discuss
ell by the press, it occupies portion ofthe
remarks of every public speaker and upon
the street it is frequently talked about
The ruinous and reasonable policy of An
drew Johnson, the arrogance he has dis
country, his contempt for law, his wicked
schemes to place the country in the hands of
rebels and traitors, have not only rendered
the lives and property of Southern Union
men insecure, but his high handed acts of
| usurpation and tyranny have done more to
shake the popular faith in the stability of
free institutions than all the doubt and dis
asters of four long years of bloody war.
The President denOunces the present
Congress, composed though it is of all the
States-and one more-that participated in
his own election, as an illegal and uncon-
stitutional body, hanging upon the verge of
the government, without power to make
laws, but usurping the Legislative functions
of the government, and threatens, through
his organs and mouth-pieccs, to recognize
and send his message to another body of
men composed of the Southern delegates
and Northern Copperheads. Having reach
cd this point, it will he easy enough to dis
cover, as in the case OF the New Orleans
Convention, that the Radical Congress is a
revolutionary body and bayonets will be
used to dispcrse its members. 1t is need
less to say that any attempt to- carry out
this programme will be met with courage
and determination. No time would be lost
in impeaching Andrew Johnson and plac-
ing the executive powers ofthc government
in other hands.
The confession may be thought humilia-
ting. but il is nevertheless true that the fu-
ture of this nation, and the happiness and
prosperity of millions are in the hands of
/, one bold, bad man. and il is too terribly true
that the probabilities are that he will use
lis high station to embroil us again i'm civ
IL cOmmOtiOn. The Imagination turns in
horror from the scenes of such war rs
that with which we are now threatened
Then, indeed. would brothers hand grasp
brothers throat. and he who had any of
this worlds goods would equally fear his
enemies and his friends. Murder and rape
and arson and pillage would be the com
mon incidents of such a contest. And this
war is to he invoked for the purpose of
forcing rebels into the same high positions
which they once abandoned to make war
upon the government.

The True Policy,

to COpperhead councils, the South shall re

the Ioyal States that have held elections re-
Gently, it will become necessary to adopt
some policy that will BE- equal to the end
desired-the complete restoration of the
Union upon the basis of equal justice to
all men. Nor will the step thus necessari-
" taken by the great Union party of the
country be to the rearward. We cannot
stand still or retrace our steps in the great
work in which we are engaged. If the
South is so blind as to refuse the moderate
demands Of the present Congress, she may
look to the next for the passage of such
laws as will debar all who have engaged
voluntarily in the rebellion from participa-

not to expect that after endeavoring fol
four years to destroy the nation he wo'd be
permitted to WELD any portion of its pow

terms than such as were secured them by
their paroles. and 1T was not until many
months after the surrender If Lee that they

The Fenians.

The Fenian excitement is again at its
hight, and the Brotherhood are hurriedly
making preparations to swarm over tho
Canadian line and rescue from their terri

ers, Colonel Lynch and Father Mcmahon
who are condemned to die on the 18th oil
December next, for alleged participation in
the Fenian raid last spring. 1t is perhaps
true that these men are guilty of great Of

Rio Grande.
New ORLEANS, October 26.-The follow
ing important letter appears this evening:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF,
NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. 25. 1896
GENERAL am satisfied that there is
only one way in which the state of affairs
on the Rio Grande can be bcttered, and
that is by giving the hcartiest support to
the only Government in Mexico recognized
by our own-the only one which is really
friendly TO us. You will therefore warn
all adherents of any party or pretended
Government in Mexico in the State of
Tamaulipas that they will not be permitted
to violate neutrality laws between the Lib
cral Government of Mexico and the United
States: and also, that they will not be per-
mitted to remain in oCr territory and receive
the protection of our flag.
In order to defeat their Vaccinations
for violation of our neutrality laws, these
instructions will be enforced against the
Imperial Bucaneer, representing the social
led Imperial Government of Mexico, and
also against the Ortega, Santa Anna and
other factions. President Juarez is the
acknowle lged head of the Liberal Govern
ment of Mexico.

Speaker COIGa KS Present and
Fn1nrp

Mr.. Colfax's election to congress for a
seventh term and by the largest majority,
1000, that he ever had, is an interesting
item in our current political history as well
as in his personal record. Only one of our
present congressman, Mr.. Washburne of
Illinois, can boast a longer continuous
service in the House. He will be chosen for
his eighth term at the election in Noyem-
Der. Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont was even
with the Speaker until he retired from the
House this year to go into the Senate, and
Mr.. Dawes Of our district is a single term
b, hind him. These facts show the grow
ing disposition Ofthe northern people to
continue their most useful and reliable con-
gressmen in service; to keep good man
when they have got him. Mr.. COlfax
could doubtless change from the House to
the Senate, as Mr.Morrill is about to do. for
the Indiana legislature just chosen has n
senator to elect in place of MIR. Lane, who
chooses to. retire at the close of his present
term next March; and the State has no
man more likely to be proffered it by the
legislature, acting in obedience to the voice
of the country and the State. than the pop
ular speaker of the House. But having ac-
copied a new term in the House from his
district, and sure there of a third term in
the speakers chair, if he desires it, he viii
most likely be averse to any change. The
senaiorship is no advance from the speak
ership.-that is the third office in rank in
our political organization; the former is on
ly of longer continuance; and that is moth
ing 10 man Ofthe popularity and efticien-
CIV in public life of Mr.. Colfax. He will
hardly be likely ever to go out of high
Office except by his own free choice. The
Senate will always be open to him. The
cabinet will naturally claim him bye and
bye. And he would add strength and faith
before the people TO any presidential tick
ct, even il so popular a man as General
Grant should head it.-Springfed Miss. j

The great prize lighter, John Morrissey,

candidate for Congress in one of the New

election upon those of their party who still
have claims to decency, are very DESTROYS
that he shall be defeated. We cannot see

The Marshall County Agricultural Fair
which was to have been held last week
commencing on Thursday, was indefinitely
postponed, on account of the weather.
which was entirely too Indictment to allow
of any exhibition. The officers and sever
al active members of the Society did all
that was in their power to make the Fair a
success, but they could not control the
weather, and are not, therefore, response
bic for the failure. We hope the weather
another year will be more propitious.
County Fairs are doubtless beneficial to
the community, but on account of the little
interest the most of the citizens of this Co.
have taken in them for three or four years
past we cannot say our County Fairs have
been very creditable to us as a people.

that the Democrats who had to contribute
