RADICALS ABUSING GRANT Gearys
organ, the Harrisburg Telegraph, thus
attacks Gen. Grant:
"We do not believe that the intel
ligent masses of the country viii per-
nit themselves to be led from the
right by any man, however distin-
guished may be his position in civil
or military sense. We must not for
get that Ulysses S. Grant is only a
man, with no larger capacity to form
an opinion on subjects such as the re-
habilitation of the South, than two
thirds Of the respectable men of the
nation. He has no right to hug in
his military reputation to sway the
Judgment of the people in deciding
a civil issue. If Gen. Grant or any
other soldier, attempts such move
ment, it is the beginning Of the end
of his military glory. That moment
such soldiers would cease to be great
men, terminating what would other
wise have been an immortality of
glory on the historic pages of the
counsrys history. If this would not
be the case, the destiny of the coun-
try must be put entirely in the hands
of irresponsible military adventur-
erS."

$50 immigrants arrived at Rolla on
Friday, to find homes in Southwest

Swedes and Danes, and persons of
thrift and intelligence. There are
only eight women in the party. They

are already in New York. This di-

due to the efforts of the Southwest

immigrants, to see that good faith is

JAYHAwKING. The st. Louis Dis

not unfrequently find their own radi-
cal friends in possession of tempting
things, which they cannot forego
applying to their own use. The late
war of rapine and robbery of the
South taught q large number of peo-

LIBERTY IN MExtco.-The great

L1BERrY IN MEXICO. great
impeachment to liberty in Mexico is
that there are SO many aspiring men
within her borders, and that anarchy
has SO long held sway there, the peo-
pie being divided into so many fac
tions. AS fast as one Government is
formed from which that unfortunate
country may hope for peace and rest.
in which to throw off the armor of
battle and to recuperate from the
wounds inflicted in the many wars to
which she is subject, another revolu-
ton breaks out, and the country is at
the mercy of marauders and cut
throats, who seem to have no purpose
of ever permitting any settlement of
her troubles.
There the leaders all seem to prefer
'sto rule in hell, rather than serve in
heaven. Everybody wants to be
President; and between Santa Anna,
Juarez and others less notable but
equally violent and incapable of any
regard for the interests of the coun-
try, there is no hope of escape from
the unending strife which has con-
verted paradise, blooming with the
fairest roses and producing the rich-
est fruits, into q desolated wild,
wherein the marks of devastation
greet the eye on every side in one
unbroken landscape of ruin.
Better, far better, the foreign bayo-
nets that support the Government of
Maximilian should force term of
peace. than q confirmation of the
work of desecration and violence
which has so much destroyed the
beauty and usefulness of that, the
fairest of all climes and the richest of
all countries. We would herald with
pleasure an announcement of A re-
cognition of the Imperial Govern
ment, and an abandonment of the
Monroe doctrine, on the part of the
United States We think from that
policy alone can Mexico escape the
troubles that are working sure and
terrible destruction.

The President amd the constitutional
Amendment.

Some days since, we copied, from
the New York Herald, an article de-
claring, with flourish of trumpets,
that the editorials of that veracious
journal had produced such an effect
upon the President as to induce him
to reconsider his opposition to the
constitutional amendment, and write
to the Southern Governors, counsel
ling them to follow his example. OF
course, everyt ly knew that Bennett
was drawing the long bow, and mere
ly laughed at his unblushing assur-
ance. AS if to outdo himself, he now
gives prominence to contradiction
of this report, and speaks as if some
one else had originated the story. He
says:
"The statement having prevailed
that the President rs about to modify
his policy to the extent of recon-
mending the proposed constitutional
amendments to the adoption of the
Southern unrepresented States, au-
thority is given for most emphatic
denial. The President considers that
the amendments were prepared in
violation of the fifth article of the
Constitution, and are, therefore, in
valid, and that it would be in contra
vention of his oath of office to en-
courage them in any way. There is,
however, reason to believe that he
contemplates recommending to Con-
gress. ut its approaching session,
first, the admission of the representa-
tives of all the States, and then the
proposal of amendments to the Con-
stitution, embracing, in a less objec-
tionable form, the essential elements
Of those now pending"
This is more probable version of
the matter. It is sunquestionably true,
that the amendment was not proposed
to the States in the manner contem-
plated by the Constitution. This lit
tie defect, however, is of no impor-
tance in the eyes of the radicals.
They violate the Constitution in the
very act of trying to amend it for the
humiliation Of the South, and yet
have so much confidence in our
fidelity to constitutional obligations
lis to believe that, if they can foist
this new provision into the Constitu-
tio,s we shall implicitly obey its re-
quirements. .-Richmond Dispatch.

Columbia and Augusta Railroad.

v,
the improvements contemplated III
that city, and in that connection
mentions the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. In its appeal to capitalists
in behalf of the road, it says that
''should this important link be
pushed to 81 successful conclusion,
Augusta would hold the air line traf-
fic North, beyond peradventure. 1t
would likewise check the efforts now
assiduously in vogue to tap her other
lines. We mean no harm to other
cities, but it will never do to permit
them to reap the harvest properly
appertaining to rs. Col. VIM. John
ston is doing yeoman's service for
the railroad system of Augusta, and
we trust his zeal will be met by an
equal enthusiasm on the part of CAPT
talists and corporations. " The Consti-
nationalist adds:
We submit q concise summary of
what this road proposes to accom-
plish:
1st. The Columbia and Augusta
Railroad will not only offer to Au-
gusta the trade of Richland, Fair
field, Chester and York Districts,
through which the Charlotte Road
now passes, but would offer to her
the trade of Western North Carolina
and the tobacco of Virginia.
Cd. 1t will more than restore to
Augusta the business she has lost
from Newbcrry and Laurens Dis
tricts, which will take the Columbia
and Augusta Railroad at Louisville,
Lexington and other depots.
3D. The branch road to Ninety-Six
will only be twenty eight or thirty
miles long, to intersect this road near
the Pine House. This will give Ito
Augusta the trade of Abbeville, An
| derson, Greenvillc and Pickens Dis
tricts, and will make this place their
nearest and best market.
4th. The construction OF the Co
lumbia and Augusta Railroad will not
only restore to Augusta the trade she
lost by the Greenville Road, but will

9TH. This road, in connection with
the Milledgeville Road, cuts all roads
taking trade to Charleston and Sa-
vannah, and turns it upon Augusta.
Herein are cogent reasons why this
important enterprise should receive
an earnest support, and it's compile
tion not only made certain, but rapid.
