The Chicago Tribune, the great Western
organ Of Radicalism, thus enumerates the
measures its party deems necessary. Upon
nine propositions it is willing to reconstruct
the Union. They are thus stated by that
journal @
l. The amendment to the constitution ap-
portioning Representatives according to the
number Of voters instead of the population,
and designed to promote an extension Of the
elective franchise to the freedmen
>. The Freedmen's Bureau bill, designed
tor afford that temporary protection to person
and property Of the freedmen, which is nee
essary by reason of the fact that they are
deprived of the ballot, Of the right to sit on

- The Civil Rights biIi, depriving any
state Of the power to pass laws whereby col

BLOODY AFFBAY "A difficulty Of the most
serious character occurred at Medon, a
village in Madison cod about eighteen
miles north of this place, on last Monday, in
which two men were killed and another
seyerly. wounded. The facts, IS near as we
could learn, are as follows a man BY the
name of Murkerson became envolyed in a
difficulty in which several persons were par
Elephants, among whom were -Bud Stur-
devant formerly a member of Hursts regi-
ment, and Bill Lowry Dr. Stewart, who
was present, interfered and attempted to per-
suade those engaged 10 the quarrel to dessist,
when he was fred upon by Lowry and re-
ceiYed two painful wounds then, in turn,
and but moment after, Sturdevant fred
upon the Doctor, but missed his mark, the
ball taking effect upon Lowry, which result
ed in his death then Murkerson fred upon
Sturdeyant and inflicted a mortal wound In
answer to inquiries made as to the origin Of
this deplora5le affair, we were informed that
it was altogether a personal, and not sec
tional, as we feared it was. We learn
that Dr. Stewart wounds are not considered
mortal, although they are Of a most painful
nature, ne having been shot in the leg, and
also in the body.

AorIcE.-We have heard it intimated that
some persons have said that they cannot pat
ronize paper that pursues the course the
BULLETIN has taken. If there Is any one
that lays the fattering JUNCTION to his
soul that he has been extending charity to
some one connected with this paper we would
be pleased to hear from him Immediately, as
We have an abiding faith in our ability to
earn livelihood independent of negro wor-
shippers, BrownIowitee, ex-oficers OF negro
militia or any one else who bends as PHI
ant tool or whining sycophant because " he
sees little money in it. When We com
meuced the publication Of this paper we
distinctly said that We would oppose, in a
lawful manner, the franchise law, the sedit-
ion law and the 2per cent tax law, and sup
port, to the best Of our ability, the reorgani-
cation Of the Southern States as indicated
by the President Of the United States We
have never faltered in this-we do support
Andrew Johnson, and hail him the pure pat
riot and best friend Of the people, North and
South; We know he stands for the constitu-
ton, and the law, and while We put forth our
cxertions, humble as they are, to strengthen
his hands against the ruthless flame Of rad
icalism and fanaticism, declare at the same
time that VIC cannot pandar to the perverted
tastes Of men who enact laws that arc un-
becoming the tribal authorities of Borneo.
If certain gentleman in Memphis who
deals in wall paper and who has fed and fat
tened off the people Of the South, Or any
one else, deems our course too far removed
from that pursued by negro equalitists, he
can consider himself hodged in by a % sweet

Legislature.

The general assembly of our State
convencs in Columbia on Monday next.
While there are certain questions of
internal policy and economy that
ought to receive the most Jealous at
tention of that body, there are cer-
tain others it should as careful
ly abstain from encouraging, First
among these latter is the Stay
Law question. It is to be trusted
that it will not be revived, but
suffered to die the death it amply
deserves. Iris whole idea of afford
ing relief by Legislative interference
isa chimera and we believe, an insid-
uous and dangerous one. Let the
Legislature rather direct it's energies
and its brains to questions affecting
internal development, such as
|. The abolition of Usury Laws.
Let this Legislature cxpunge these
acts from our Statute books. They
are an obstacle in the way Of our pro-
gress, unworthy of an enlightened
government and reproaclf to our
laws.
2. The enactment of Stock Law.
The condition of the times demands
husbandry and economy. Here is q
wide field. In three fourths of the
State law of this character is an abb
solutc necessity, and we trust the
Legislature will recognize the fact.
1t will relieve our people of tax,
which if cxactcd in dollars and cents,
would appal them, and it would be an
undoubtcd advantage to the stock of
the country.
3. Measures to promote immigration

tai interest With our wide areas of
wasted lands, we are poor and will re

effected by u hardy frugal and thrifty
