The Rlor 1T INDIANAPOLIS, lND.-Thc
Chicago Times has from u correspondent
some further particulars Of the diSgraccful
proceedings at Indianapolis, Ind, on the
occasion of the arrival of the President
and party there. The correspondent of
the Times says:
The President was introduced to the
crowd 10y Sol. Meredith, and attempted 10
speak, but the crowd would not let him.
The President said of you will let me
speak five minutes, | Wilt" Shut up, you
damned traitor, or I'll shoot you. :"
came from a voice. "Shoot the damned
traitor" Shoot him" 4" Shoot him :"
cried several voiccs.l Bang, bang, bang,
went three shots.
\ group Of lrishmcn, carrying a trans
parcncy with the motto lrishmcn wei
come the President" were attacked and
severely beaten, and indiScriminatc firing
commenced some twelve shots being
fired. \ terrible scene TRANSFERRED, in
which men with torches were beaten and
driven oil by the Radicals, who were
armed with clubs and pistols.
The President, Grant, Farragut, Custar,
and many others of the gentlemen com
posing the Presidents party witnessed the
whole affair. General Grant saw dozen
shots fired, and remarked that it was the
most diSgraccful scene he ever saw. A
large number of Irishmen were injured, in
Guiding two who were severely wounded.
An organization called the loyal league,
with tattered flag, caused all the trou-
l.. L., oh n a pI
Grant commanded them to 60 home, which
they did, all the while swearing that the
President should not speak in Indianapolis.
Before the Radicals dispersed, they had
thoroughly cleaned ont the Irish clubs and
the Johnson men, and had the field to
themselves. Andrew Steward, an Irish
man, was shot in the eye, and has since
died. Walter Rucken, an old man, was
wounded in the knee, and John Stay was
shot in the hand.

GENERAL GRANTS carries" ORDER

The order applies solely to offences now
being committed, and which are winkcd at
BY the civil authorities Thus far but few
persons have been arrested under the or

maniiestos of the Executive since issued,
the probabilities are that it will be re-

"A Remarkable Article from . semi.
oN,cial Paper-The TroubleA IN Pre-
spect-Gencral Grant may be made
Dictator.
The New York Times of Wednesday
has tho following remarks upon the trou-
bles threatening the country, the course
the President would likely pursue, and
the possibility that General Grant will be-
come supreme ruler: 49,. ...
BY law, Congress consists of 24l men,
bcrs, and by law, also, a majority of the
whole number, or III members, constitute
Il quorum. Suppose that members elected
from the southern States should meet III
December, 1867, and be enough, added to
northern members who believe in their
right to representation, and who would
meet with them TO constitute quorum;
and suppose the northern members who do
not believe the South entitled to represen-
tation. and who would not meet with them,
should meet by themselves, constituting
less than a quorum Of the whole number.
The Pittsburg Chronicle begins to see the
possibility of such an occurrence; and it
Also secs that the President will be under
the necessity ol ltSoSHi"ihs WV VI wv
other of these bodies as the valid, consti-
tntional House of Representatives. lie
must send his message TO the one or the
other. He must sign bills passed by the
one or the other. He must treat one or
the other as branch Of Congress, clothed
with the power OF making laws, and the
other as having no such authority. And
under the circumstances assumed, there
can be very little doubt, in view of his
known opinions on the subject, that Presi-
dent johnson will recognize the numerical
Quorult--the body which contains ma
ioritv Of all the members-as the only
BODY authorized by the Constitution to
make laws for the United States. He will
probably send his message to that body
Inc willsign the bills they pass, if concur
red in by the Senate, and he will not re-
cognize the acts Of the other as valid in
any respect. The Senate, on the contrary,
will recognize majority Of members from
all the States bit ten, even if they are a
minority of the whole, as the real Con-
greSs, and as clothed with all the powers
of legislation.
Here, certainly, is danger of collision
Of authority. We have torcscen it, and
have warned the country of it. The Radl-
Gals have forcSccn it, and have been pre-
pairing for it. They have not concealed
their purpose, in such an event, to appeal
TO force, and rouse the country to another
conflict of arms.

THE CASE OF ADMIRAL SEMMES.-We
remarked some days ago i'll reference to
General Swayne's rel'usa! to allow Mr..
Semmes to qualify as Judge Of the Probate
Court of Mobile, that if that officer was
acting under instructions from the Presi-
dent, the peace proclamation was mock
cry of the southern people. The Cincln-
natl Gazette, Radical paper, very much
to our surprise reproduces our article on
the subject, and comments upon it without
expressing one word of disapprobation.
"Of course" says the Gazette, A." the peace
proclamation is farce" and then it goes
on to say of Mr.. Johnson:
"The usurpcr who speaks Of Congress
as a body hanging upon the verge OF the
Government has no intention OF relin-
gushing arbitrary authority anywhere, ex-
cent as a pretended REIMBURSEMENT may
serve to further his own schemes of bad
ambition. Besides, it is necessary to keep
up an appearance Of hostility to Semmcs
and q few other well-kApwn traitors in Or
der to blind the eyes of the loyal people
while the great body of the rebels are be-
ing restored to power. The Dispatch
seems neither to understand the personal
character of Johnson nor his plans for sub
iecting the nation to disloyal rule"
Now, if we were sure that tie Gazette
has not mistaken the Presidents purposes,
we should be disposed to rejoice at its ut
terances. If he holds on to his arbitrary
power merely because he wishes to put
the Radicals under foot, and intends to
carry out his policy in defiance of them,
then we are no longer opposed to itsreten-
ton in his hands. Mr.. Semmes may go.
