A WARN1NG.-The low er House of Cong
ress, as our readers have seen. by a vote
of 70 to 70, refused, a few days ago, to al.
low Col. M. johnson, a Representative
elect from Arkansas, who had CALAMITY
served in the Union army throughout the
war, to take his seat, or even to enjoy the
privileges Of the floor. Vouchers of his
loyalty were not disputed, but, as the
New York Tribune has it, +" the House de-
cided to keep the general principles" and
the majority rightly considered that the
precedent would be a dangerous one.n-
The Time thinks that the danger will
lie in just such action as the House is pur
suing. 1t says:
"lf the present course is persisted in,
a new danger will present itself. How
long can self-respecting men remain de-
voted to a Government which ignores
their services aud their sacrifices ? which
taxes them, but denies them representa-
ton, and which makes them the scapegoat
for the sins of the rebels? By its present
policy, Congress is s~ubjecting the loyalty
OF the South to tests more trying, because
more notifying, than these it endured
during the struggle."-Mo. Republican.

SOUTHERN LoyALrY.--A correspondent
of the New York Nems sends the follow
ing extract from a letter written to bin
by a relative in Texas
There is no more need of a standing
army in the South than there is Ia New
York city. Nobody, rot eve the wild
est sscessionist, ever thinks of offering
the least resistance to the authority O
the United States Government. They &C
cept the situation, and will do all in theil
power to bring matters back as they were
before the war. This is the truth, so fa1
as my observation goes, (and it has beer
rather extensively anything you may see
in the papers to the contrary notwitk
standing.
None but the widest visionary-none
but those whose souls are stepped in the
deepest infamy-none but those whose
hearts are black as hell itself, can charge
the South with disloyalty, now. Here
and there, perhaps, may be found a man
who still vents his feelings against the
Government, but he is, generally, one re-
duced from %af1uence to poverty, and to
whose brain the light of common sense
never penetrated. 1t cannot be expected
that every Southerner can, at the present
show that unbounded love and admiration
for the Union he once did but the senti-
ments of a few should not be taken as a
criterion for the whole.
There is no armed opposition to the Gov
eminent. The Southern leaders have all
down into some branch of business
thus showing a splendid exemple of man
illness and stern integrity of purpose, al
ranking and smarting under de-
feat and humillation-an example which
has been followed throughout the length
and breadth of the land, by all those gal
liant spirits, in humber capacities, who
followed the ever-glorious LEE, or the in
domitable BE%AuREGARD.
The efforts making in the South, by all
classes, to restore the country to its for.
greatness and prosperity, and the
which has, so far, attended their
Iabors, should be conviction enough to the
reasonable and patriotic man, that the
situation has been accepted in good faith,
come veal or woe, our destinies are
lenceforth i~nseparably blended with the
American Union. The Radicals of the
North do not see this, MOI do they wish
see it. They are blind to all but the
pictures Of their own hired agents, and
leaf to all but those bought and paid to
ie upon and defame the Southern people
md Southern character. Falshoods, mis-
wilfully concocted villainies
re disseminated through their presses to
leep up the belief of our disloyalty, and
must remain in "sack-cloth and ashes"
lntil it suits their convenience to admit
IS to equality in being represented where
re pay taxes.

TERRIBLE OUTRAGE IN ST. BERSARD.-We
have the following particulars of a terri
BILE outrage in the adjoining parish from a
reliable source /: I'D.
About 3 o'clock last Thursday morning
Gen. Il. c. Story, residing about ten miles
below the city, was aroused by the noise of
persons breaking open the doors of his
house with axes, and before be could give
an alarm, about a dozen negroes, with one
white man, rushed into the house, armed
with axes, clubs and pistols. They at
once commenced firing at and beating the
and searching for valuables to
steal. They succeeded in finding a small
amount Of money and other valuables.
They shot n lady whom they left for
dead. Fortunately, although she fell from
The effects Of the shot, she is not danger
ousiy wounded-yet probably crippled
or life in one limb.
Gen. Story was seriously bruised in at
tempting to arrest their progress. His
servants coming to his rescue the parties
led. Two of those implicated have since
been identified and arrested and confined
n the Jail of that parish.
Their object, they confess, was plumber,
rs they understood that Gen. Story kept
large amount Of money in his house,
if necessary, they were to murder the
inmates, and burn their bodies in the
