FROM WASHINGTON.

Special Dispatch to the Mo. Republican,
WASHINGTON, May S.-The Supreme
Court has decided not to render written
opinion at this term of Court on the
Georgia and Mississippi injunction cases,
but to defer it until the next term. The
decision, however, which has been de-
termined on, will be made public on next
Monday. This was the case with the
famous Bowles and Miliigan cases. the
written opinion being delayed fer several
months after the decision was given.
General Ord has applied for the regis
tration books, certificates and other
blanks used in the enrolment Of voters
in the Southern States, and viii proceed
with that work in Mississippi during the
present month.
There are now on file 10 the Attorney
Generals Office large number Of appli-
cations for the pardon Of criminals,
among which are several convicted OF
passing counterfeit money and robbing
the mail A large number Of the peti-
tons are for the pardon Of those con-
victed in the Criminal Court Of this
district, but the Attorney General being
busily engaged, il is impossible for him
to examine into the cases.
General Grant had a long interview
with the Secretary Of War this morning,
relative to the appointment OF cadets at
West Point which will be made this
week by the President, assisted by the
Secretary Of War.
General Sheridan having decided to
close registration in New Orleans on
Nav 18th, the President telegraphed him
to-day to keep il open until al voters
were registered within the limits Of
Attorney Stanberry's forthcoming deei-
sion on the disfrancbising clause Of the

THE EMPIRE ENDED.

There is no doubt that the Mexican
Empire Is ended. II is observed by
cotemporary, that much of truth, at least,
may be gathered from among the con
!radictions aud exaggerations which are
the essential characteristics Of all reports
coming from that unfortunate country.
Whether it be true or not that one Jua'
rist chief already occupies portion OF
the capital, and another has taken Que
retaro, and third is battering at the
gates of Vera Cruz with absolute assn
rance of immediate success, there ap-
pears TO be no reason to doubt that all
those things win have come to pass
within a few weeks at most In the
present aspect Of the affair, the best that
the Emperor's most confident friends can
reasonably hope for is, that the rumor Of
bis escape from the bag in which he stu
pidly inclosed himself at Queretaro may
prove to be we'll founded. The necessity
of making choice between fight or cap
ture-if that alternative is even now left
him-can not, in the nature Of things,
be postponed for many days

VERY GOOD SENSE.

Many eolored men have sense to see
through the mist in which the Jacobins
keep them enveloped. James Il. Harris,
Of North Carolina, is one OF the number.
In recent speech at Raleigh, he tells
the Radicals in the plainest terms that
he sees through their shallow game of
promised confscation. The negroes,
he says, must now take care Of them
selves otherwise they must perish, since
no one any longer having an interest in
them, no one any longer cares for them.
The foreign troops who fought in the
Federal interest fought for their pay,
and not for negro emancipation, and
Yankees have too high an appreciation
of number one to admit negroes 10 part
nerGhip in profits. But they will use the
negroes, he represents, and this con6sca-
ton plea is only an electioneering dodge,
a bait to catch the votes of foolish mig.
gers. Only very young and silly birds,
declares Mr.. Harris, can be caught with
such chat.

GONE HOME,

1t is said that Thad. Stevens has re.
turned to his home in Pennsylvania,
satisfied, he says, with the new turn
affairs have taken in Washington" He
has played the spy on the Executive
Mansion until he feels assured his pres
ence is needed no longer. This sounds
strangely, and would seem to indicate
cessation on the part of the President
of his war upon Radicalism. Some
knowing ones intimate that there is no
ground for such assertion or construction
by Mr.. Stevens, and that he has only re.
turned home because his illness has as
sumed an alarming phase.

Death OF Old Abe.

Turfmen will regret to learn that the
well known and ever faithful jockey, Old
Abe, is dead. For quarter of century
his name has been familiar to those who
take an interest in equine contests.
During his long career on the turf his
mounts included such familiar racers as
Lecomte, Arrow, Whale, Panic, Mime
haha, Louis Dor, Rhynodins, Asteroid,
etc. he rode Lecomte in his famous
race with Lexington, when he beat the
son of Boston and Alice Csrneal q four
mile heat in 1926. Abe, many years ago,
was purchased by Hon. Duncan f. Ken.
ner, Of Louisiana, and up to the time OF
the war was associated with this gentle
mans stables. When the war closed he
was no longer slave, but last fall he
returned to his old home, where he died
some days ago. As rider and q jockey,
he had no equal in this country. He sat
horse with ease and rode with remark
able Judgment. All who have attended
the meetings on the turf in various parts
Of the United Stetes for the past fifteen
years will remember his swarthy face,
bis thoughtful air, and his light figure.
He was master in bis profession, and
not less faithful than he was competent.
Good riders and strictly honest ones are
rare; therefore, the death Of Old Abe is
an irreparable loss TO the American
turf Turf Field and Farm.

RRnwNLnw,s GoYERNMENT.

The Constitution Of the United States

that he is actually providing navy to

of Europe, when complication is likely
to eventuate in hostilities, arm the people,
and do that which onlya nation may do,
raise armies and go to war Brownlow,
in imitation Of other monarchs, is'actu-

pie who comprise the State, but is in

hook2 The Constitutional Amendment
DISTINGUISHES only those who were old
executive, judicial and legislative office
holders, and went into the rebellion.
That is the policy of Congress, and for
refusing to ratify it, ten States have
been reduced TO military provinces Mr..
Brownlow's government ratified the
amendment, but now refuses to be bound
by it. Mr.. Brownlow's government has
DISTINGUISHED everybody except those
who can show that they not only did not
participate in the rebellion, but that they
did not sympathize with the South.
Tennessee was a rebellious State.
Why is she exempted from the opera
ton of the amendment We answer,
because her government is Radical. II
it had been otherwise, we should now be
basking in the divine rays Of the mill
tary bill, Brownlow's Government de-
liberatey opposes the policy of Congress.
That is overlooked, for the reason we
have stated. Brownlow's Government
deliberately violates the Constitution by
the act of raising an army in time Of
peace. 1t has done more; il has de-
clared war upon a disarmed, deienseless
people. 1t affects TO possess over the State

A TORNADO

The tornado which swept through New
Jersey last week, is described as "a
dark, huge, funnelshaped mass, illumi-
mated at intervals by electrical explo-
sions, whirling, swaying, surging and
forcing its way, rapid in progress and
fearful in power. Now veering to the
right, and anon to the left, pluuging
furiously forward, and sharply recOiling,
it swept away all that obstrue,ed its
course, and by its eccentric evolutions
made the path Of desolation much wider
than. its own bulk could have effected
had it rolled onward in straight line. :"

The South wants bread and money TO

they would want it all in corn, -four,
meat, cloth, implements, groceries, and
whatever we have to spare and want to
sell, reviving'our laAguid trade and Civ
ing assurance of future prosperity. For
this loan would double the crop of vast
regions-every 800 adding at least 500
to the staples which we shall buy of the
South and sell to ali the world in the
course of next winter and spring. Idle
ness, vagrancy, outrage, crime,
misery would be signally diminished,
while industry, thrift and comfort would
be diHused over a region larger than New
York and New England, if such loan
could bo effected"
