The Alabama Defeat OF Radical
ism.

What may Result from Congressional En-
actment the Radical Constitutional
Little Cloud of Civil War Discernible.
We quote the following from the ed
itorial letter of the Montgomery Mail.
dated New York, Feb. 12
cannot see how the Senate, which
hesitated to pass the bill allowing q
majority of actual voters to ratify the
constitution, car stultify themselves so
far as to enact the constitution which
has just been defeated, and make it the
law against the will of three-fourths of
the male adults ofthe State. Upon their
own platform they must accept the de-
feat as complete. If they now force
the constitution upon us as Senator
Nye proposes to do. the deliberately re-
pudiate the only republican feature Of
their monstrous scheme. think they
will not be able to enact constitution
for Alabama The other Southern
States will follow the course Of Alabama,
repudiote the bogus constitutions, and
be excluded from participation in the
Presidential election This is what
the Democrats desire. They are not
afraid of the result if left with the
North, and they have very little fears
of the result, even though the South
should be thrust into the guardhouso
of Grant If, however, the electoral
votes of the South should be throw by
negro governments, enacted into exis-
tence by Congress, in favor of the Rad
icals, and thereby secure q nominal
majority for the Radical candidate, We
may look out for civil war. There is
no mistaking the feeling of Radicalism
Even the strong military arm Of Grant
will be poweress before it. l speak
advisedly. Men who held high militia
ry Offices in the army do not hesitate
to canvass publicly the chance Of civil
war in the event Of q Presidcnt being
elected by negro minority Of tnc sou
thern States.

ADVERTISING PATRoNAGE.-We copy
and fully indorse the following sensible
remarks from the jamestown IN. ~
Journal of recent date:
"In general sense, the effort on the
part of any merchant to get trade with
out advertising is wrong to other bus
mess men in the place. Whether a
man believe in advertising or not he
will coincide that the newspapers are a
great help to the place, and that bust
ness amounts to very little in places
that don't support one or more of them.
Absence of newspapers is q bad sign
for place, in business point of view,
as absence Of churches is in morals, OF
school houses in education. The men
who support the village paper do more
to build up the place, and make itpros-
porous, and draw trade there, than all
other influences combined. Therefore,
the man who tries to come in and take
the benefits of that prosperity without
contributing to sustain it, tries to dead
head on the rest Of the business men,
and does them wrong"

Took CHARGE OF THE BOXEs.-Tht
developments of every twenty-foul
hours since the late election in Alabamc
reveal some new rascality. Thus the
Montgomery Advertiser, Of 18th ult,
after saying that if an honest vote had
been polled, not $4,000 would have beer
cast for the constitution, particularizes
as follows:
"In Choctaw county the candidates
took charge of the boxes and counted
out the votes. They did so in many
other counties. The Demopolis Era
says fifteen of the best business men in
the State W you'd not find the names OF
more than half the men that voted in
Marengo in thirty days. In Wilcox
county negroes voted from more than
a half dozen counties, six hundred and
sixty voting by affidavit. Not white
citizen of that county voted.

three hundred and seventy three fail

prepare lists of it's leading members, as
fully as they are able. and forward them

the best reasons for believing the clan
to be band Of thorough traitors,
whose sole purpose is to rob and mur
der loyal people and revolutionize the
State by violence. There can be no
doubt that if the President could mus
ter soldiers enough in Washington to
resist his removal by arms. the Kuklux
would rise at once throughout the State
and deluge it with the blood Of Union
men. Hunt up the leading men enga
ged in the movement. The list will be
v wanted in q few weeks from this time,
when a loyal President and true friend
and defender of Union men will sit in
the White House, and will be Comman-
der.in chief of the United States army.
