"Impudent Immigrant Intruders '

If we construe correctly the remarkable letter which we copy from Mississippi paper, on our first page, the writer expects that, in case the Democracy come into pow CT. every Radical Yankee, now resident in Mississippi, will be driven out of that state sin ninety days' (the italics are not ours. We have no doubt that Mir. Harney is en- tirely correct in his expectation. Will he permit US to make comparison?
 The writer of that letter lived ill this place during greater part of the war. That he was southerner by birth, a resi- dent of slave state, Q slave-holder, se- cessionist, and southern sympathizer, were facts known to every one; neverthe- less he was never, to our knowledge, moles- ted by any one Probably no one doubts that any Northern Union man found with in the limits of Mississippi, during that time, unless within the lines of our army, would have been immediately hung or banished. Now if the New England born Radical abolitionist, resident in Mississip- pi is an ''impudent emigrant intruder, ' what has been MT. Harney's own position in Litchfeld for half dozen years?
 We certainly do not reckon it as merit that southern gentleman met with civil treatment in New England town, during and since the war. He has had his consti- tutional rights--no more and no less. But we claim for the Yankee resident in Mis- sissippi, like right to talk and write as much ''Radicalism" as he sees fit, and to run for any office in the gift of their peo- pie. r-.
 This is but one of thousand instances of the inconsistency of the Conservatism of 1868. Resting on the old, uncon- stitutional, unrepublican habits engender- ed by slavery, it continues to justify the southerner in denying to emigrants from the North those constitutional rights which emigrants from the South have al- ways enjoyed among us.

Congress not to Regulate Suffsage in the
 States.

For some time past there has been a great affectation of fear, on the part of Connecticut Conservatives, that Congress was about to force Universal Suffrage on the States. If there was ever any doubt on this question it has been removed by Saturdays action of the House of Repre- sentatives. MT. Stevens proposed that Congress should readmit Alabama on con- dition that that state should never inter- fere with, or abolish, Universal Suffrage. Mir. Bingham and others maint aimed that Congress had no constitutional right to attach any such condition, or to interfere with the right of a state to regulate the suffrage within its own limits. On the vote being taken Mir. Sevens' amendment was rejected almost unanimously.

EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS ON THE
 soUTH-REPUBL1CAN VICTORIES AND I'M
 PARCHMENT MEAN PEACE.
 The Windham County Transcript pub- fishes the following:-
 Our readers will be interested in the fol lowing extracts of a private letter, written by gentleman ill the late confederate ar- my to friend of ours. We commend these extracts to the careful consideration of the workingmen of Connecticut:-
 -, N. C., March, 1868.
 We are just entering upon very exci- ted political canvass in reference to the rat ifcation of the constitution proposed by our convention under the reconstruction acts. This is foolish business, and will improve neither our temper DOT our inter ests. I had hoped that 6ne Congressional policy would be adopted by us without an angry contest as it promised to be last summer But the Democratic gains at the North last fall have disjointed everything, aad now we must have bitter fight in this and perhaps every other southern state. Yet we hope to carry the day. I have come tardily but deliberately to the conclusion that we cannot have a speedy, safe and permanent reconstruction while Andrew Johnson is President
 The failure of our crops, the uncertainty of the political situation, the disorder of our labor system consequent upor the war, together with large back indebtedness pressing upon us. make an accumulation of distress hardly paralleled. Time, pa tience and wisdom, if we had much of the last two qualities, would remove the evils, but above all wants we need the nineteenth century down here, as it is exemplifed in Yankee brains, and Yankee thrift
 The blacks, am happy to say, are do- ing their part very we'll. In this section they eagerly contract for labor at low rates. If we have a good crop, it will put cheer ful aspect on affairs for them and for us.

A STARTLING REVELATION.
Gen. Hindman's Murder Planned by Rad
lcals in Little Rock,

From Memphis Arelaache, Nov 5thl
The country has not yet recovered
from the thrill of horror caused by The
announcement Of the murder in Helena
Arkansas, of Gen. T. c. Hindman, who
while in the midst Of his family, was shot
down by some unknown assassin. Gen
Hindman had been promncntin .he ranks
of the opponents of Radicalism in Arkan
sas, and his terrible blows won for him
alike the admiration of his respectable
| fellow citizens and the eternal enmty OF
the Radicals When he fell by the assas
sins hand it was evident that he died 0
martyr to the cause in which he so earn
estly and powerfully labored But in or
der to lull suspicion the Radicals became
foremost among those who denounced
his death Inpublic meetings and their
newspapers they fcrcely called for the
punishment of his murderer The pre-
tence was too bare, and no one was de.
ecived by it. -
The past few days have produced reye
lations which firmly fix the crime Of this
horrid murder upon not an individual
member Of the Radical party in Arkansas
but the leaders of that foul organization
themselves The efforts of detectives
have developed, beyond possibility ofa
doubt, that the assassination of General
Hindman was planned in Little Rock BY
leading Radicals, and executed by their
orders The assassin was white man
who was paid $500 for the transaction
He left Little Rock stealthily, approached
Helena and was taken charge OF there by
Radicals in the plot, who furnished all
needed information about Gen. Eiiudman,
the most practical method of committing
the murder, etc. AS soon as the deed
was committed the assassin returned to
Little Rock, and thence went to Mexico
via. Texas. Gov Clayton's reward for
the murderer did Tot appear until suf
ficient time had elapsed for the assassin
to get beyond the reach of justice! This
is the Radicalism that desires peace"
After reading the above, we do not
wonder at the Governor and his Staff
trembling in their boots. And the muir
der OF the lamented HiNpMAS was con.
cocted and instgated at Little Rock, was
it? We are not surprised that visions Of
of Ku Klux and hobgoblings visit our
worthy Governor in his sleep. a

Mn. EDITOR: The election for Presi
dent has transpired and we are defeated
Our hopes of prosperity for thenext year
are uipped in their incipiency. The air
castles Of our Imagination, that we had
for so long time, allowed to lift their
lofty turrcts before our eyes, have by one
fell swoop, tottered and fallen. We are
enshroudcd with trouble The die is
east, however, and now il is our duty to
submit Let us quietly and peacefully
pursue our ayocations, and prove to the
miserable creatures who have defeated
us, that we are not the disloyal, non.law-
abiding people they would hare us. But
the question may be asked: What are we
to do quietly submit to the evils that
must result from this election? Yes, |
reply for nothing would more crafty
our enemies than overt acts on our part,
and hostile demonstrations together with
a refusal to submit to the late elections.
Then, they would have an excuse for
practicing more Of their internal tyran-
MES upon our people. Then what ARE
we to do? Abide by the decision in good
faith, and turn our whole attention to the
wrestling of our State from the pusilani-
nous creatures that are now welding its
power, and trampling on our dearest and
hottest rights. We should turn every eff
fort towards the accomplishment of this
holy purpose. Are we not all tired of
these innoyators and importers Are we
not weary of the hellish injustice with
which they are trying to govern our State,
and by means of which they are plunging
her into ruin? When we remember the
faerless and noble men, now sleeping
quietly beneath Arkansas sod and whose
graves here and there dot her beautiful
hills and dales, do we not turn away from
the contemplation with disgust, as the
fact comes forcibly to mind, that the of
fees once graced and honored by them,
are now filed by things who would dis
grace the walls and pollute the atmosphere
of a penitentiary? Yet this is the fact
And it is our bounden duty to do all we
can to redeem the State from their gov
ernance; if we would be a happy and
prosperous people. ...... .....
Let us continue our club organizations
and by the influences that we will be en-
able to exert through them, purge our
State Of the pestiferous creatures whose
ulcerous and leprous hearts filled, as they
are, with naught but unwholsome and
beastly motives, are bent upon our com
plete subjugation.
The Advise Creator of the Universe
we are told, in old times, sent dreac
plaques upon the Egyptians in punish
ment of their offences; but in these latter
days He has sent a detestable pes
upon our own State, in the shape of hui
man lice, that in the form Of Radical de
mons are now injecting our State.
Bat let us never despair, but still, witt
our armor girded about US, continue t.
war against our dastardly enemies.

Cherokee Nation VS. L. =. Court.


One of the most interesting and i'm
portsnt questions ever argued before the
InnN STATS Court at th's place. was
presented to Judge CALDWELL presiding
upon application ior wrlts oi Habeas
Corpus, on Friday last.
The first question presented was the
case of the [. ). vs., David Ross in the
custody Of the United States Marshal
for murder.
The argument in this case was made
by Il G. BoUDINor, Esq. of the Cherokee
Nation, and was in effect as follows up
on the proof produced;
lst John Little, the person charged
to have been killed. was at the time OF
his'death citizen of the Cherokee Ma
ton by adoption: he having married q
Cherokee woman in Lequoy all District
2d David Ross, the alledged murder
er. was at the time Of such killing, a
citizen Of the Cherokee Nation by birth
III Tha, the offence, if any was com
nlitted, was committed by Cherokee by
birth, upon the person of citizen b,
adoption Of the Cherokee Nation, in said
Indian country, and consequently the
United States Court had no jurisdiction,
Maj. Boudinot took the position that
the 18th Article of the Cherokee Treaty
with the United States of July 18th,
1866, expressly drested the L. ). Court
of all jurisdiction in cases arising in the
Cherokee Nation, wherein members of
the said Nation were parties by nativity
