York for the position it might be necessary
that Mr.. Seward should retire. II has not been
tho habit, and might raise objtions to take
two members of the Cabinet from the same

themselves about Offices. In The Louisiana

radical heaiqu .rters at WashD stn and NODE
rating in their insane zeal Tho eorgia Con-
vantion commenced It's sittings ytterday, and
we have received brief account Of lis
opening d;abIeries and forceries. Meanwhile,
We ore in the daily receipt of!cocunts oi
outrages committed by Tho black in various
parts Of the South At one time % hear Of
mob Of negroes surrounding the louso OF
respectable white citizen in Geora and de-
manding the delivery Of his 80, who has
brought upon himself the displealre OF ihe
black sayages. AT tho late electos, in many
places they attended the polls aned to the
teeth, and not only prevented Hiies from
voting but forced conservatives their own
color TO vote ~ they directed. Ouages of
revolving and i;ameless characte are FREE
quently reported as being oommitlh by them.
Records OF murders, highway robbr.es, house
butnings, petty thefls and all the leser crimes
are numberless. Led by unscrupulus North
ern radicals and outlaws, they bdcve they
have divine commission 10 do as tey please
and TO regard themselves as the nlsters of
the whites Of every condition. But esir latest
and browning operation was that Of which we
gave an account few days since ashaving oc-
Cured in Bullock county, Alabama. 1t tappcars
that tho black loyal loaguers oranized and
resisted the processes Of the civil authorities,
believing themselves, no douht,to be the
supreme lawmakers Of the land. Under drec-
tions OF Northern emissaries thy actually
formed code oflaws, opened court, oiiicered
and organized it, arrested all ,,acks who
opposed them, and were proceeding with the
inftiction of punishment until theirvictims had
TO seek the protection Of the civilauthorities.
The black shsriff and his deputy sele finally
arrested but this, it seems, did rot queil the
disturbance, for olbeS leaders oganized the
bands and made armed resistance. They
massed at a place called Union Springs, throat
sning, according to our accounts, a general
rising, the determination OF the whites and the
taking possession of the country The whites
for protection, but it was not until
a detachment Of United States troops made its
appearance that the outbreak was suppressed
AMI tho ringleaders arrested.
Thus Is the era Of negro supremacy, or war
of races inaugnratod in tho South. Ifsuflcred 10
spread, tho horrors of st. Domingo will pale
before the atrocities which will be committed
by tho black barbarians to whom the radicals
oil the North arc giving political power and
ut tho same time supplying with warlkc imple-
ments When tho hour OF retribution comes
humanity will shudder at tho appalling record
il will present Now Is tho time for Congress
TO 40 reform its reconstruction policy as to
make il moro acceptable to the South tits its
last chance. Lot II give tho whites and blacks
equal rights at the ballot box. Let it pass
general amnesty bill, wipe out old scores and
begin entirely anew For II l. as certain as
day II the radicals do not now relax their hold
upon the throaLs Of the Southern white popula-
tion, whether identified with the rebellion or
not, the gloomy fate that awaits the negro after
the reaction that Is now occurring in the North
shall swell, rs IL certainly must. into an over
whelming torrent, will b, neither distant nor
problcmatical. The white people Of tho North
and West will in no event sanction the horrid
policy Of negro supremacy, and their verdict
will. in due time settle the whole question.
In the meantime II will be curious and
amusing TO watch the proceedings Of the negro
supremacy mills now working extra time In
vlrginis, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.
