BEVERLY TUCKER, who is prescribed in
the United States, recently travelled from
San Luis Potosi to the city of Mexico, and
was robbed FIVE times. The first time they
took his money, the second time his clothes,
the third time they tried TO get his money,
but because he had none they struck him
on the head with saber, and his son, who
was with him, received a terrible wound
just over the right temple, which came
near putting an end to his sight, if not his
life The fourth time the stage in which
he had taken passage was attacked and
robbed in the streets of the city Of Mexico,
and twenty leagues beyond, toward Vera
Cruz, the stage was again stopped, and
Beverly Tucker was robbed for the fifth

WASHINGTON, March ia well-knoWn
New York editor reached here tonight
from long trip through the Southern
States. He reports the people profoundly
agitated by the reconstruction law, and
hesitating about doing anything Just so
long as any supplemental legislation is i'm
pending. One serious objection to the
movement he represents as based on the
fact that the debt incurred by the present
State government will be invalidsted by
acquiesenee of the people in the recon
struction act, which declares in its pream-
BILE that said State governments are not
legal. The State of Georgia, as it now ex-
lists, has issued large amount of bonds.
NEW YORK, March 16.-The Times
Georgia correspondence says the efforts
which are made in Georgia to arouse the
people to the dnty and necessity Of taking
an active part in the reorganization of the
State government, under the bill of Con-
gress, meet with little response. The peo-
pie do not like the terms imposed upon
them, and they are therefore disinclined to
take any part in the action required of
them. He also speaks of the presence, in
Augusta and elsewhere, of professional
agitators, who are doing everything In their
power TO arouse the preiudices of race and
color, and to array the blacks against the
whites

II the following from the New York
Times, be not a confession that "ehaos has
come again" what is it?
eve do not wonder that they deem the
terms (of reconstruction required harsh
and illiberal. We agree in so regarding
them. We deem them unjust and inexpe-
dient-at war with the constitution and hos
tile to the dictates of wise and considerate
craftsmanship. But how does this help
their case Suppose the terms imposed are
unconstitutional-ho does the South ex-
pect TO avert their imposition Has it not
discovered that, wherever the right may be,
the power of this government rests with
Congress? That body overrules alike the
vetoes of the President and the decisions of
the Supreme Court; and in neither case is
there any authority that can override its
authority or avert its action"
