The Radicals are endeavoring to make it
appear that the carpet-bag Legislatures are
acting with great magnanimity in the pas
sage Of acts relieving the people of the
South Of their political disabilities. The
pretence is, of course, the merest bosh.
These disfranchisments ase in the African
lied constitutions of the South, and mere
act of the pretended Legislatures under
them cannot set those disabilities aside.
This disposes Of the last straw at which
these drowning men catch.

for the Democratic party and the country

spikes the guns Of his own party. Accord

drawn from their industry Business has
not been stimulated, the South does not

Caution to Ladies Travelling Alone.


new and alarming danger menaces
ladies' travelling alone on the cars. The
Hudson Republican explains its nature
1t seems that a young lady residing in
that county was returning home few
weeks since by one of the principal lines of
railway, and in order to make certain con-
nections was obliged to prolong her ride
through the night. In the course of the
evening a gentleman of fine appearance
and pleasant manners took seat beside
her, and soon after engaged in intelligent
conversation, which, though not encour-
aged, was occasionally responded to by the
young lady. After while, wearied by her
long journey, she turned from him toward
the window, and leaning her head upon
her hand, appeared to be asleep. This
was not the case, however as she was by
far too well experienced in travel to
sleep under such circumstances. -
But it was not long before she
became conscious of the fumes of
chloroform arising beneath her face. and
instantly, the real character and intent of
her would-be companion flashed upon her.
Waiting moment in calm self-possession.
she distinctly heard the motion Of the vii
lain's hand which had found its way behind
her compressing a rubber vessel from
which the deadening fumes were arising
and then suddenly throwing open the win
dow, she breathed the fresh air before her
senses had become affected. Being lady
ofstrong nerves and great presence Of
mind, she thus rescued herself from the
spell that was being thrown around her,
and bestowing one significant look upon
the thwarted rascal, left him to his own
reflections. He soon after left the car, and
rather than be subjected to the delay that
would be caused by seeking on exposure Of
the attempted villainy, she proceeded on
her way.

OPENING UP OF THE NORTHWEST. We clip
the following from the Montreal Gazette, of
August 1st: n.
"a Brantford correspondent of the Toron
to Leader says that very extraordinary
scheme is talked of in that town as being
likely to be set on foot very shortly, which
appears certain to attract q great deal of
attention in this Province and elsewhere.
1t is nothing more nor less than the forma-
ton Of northwest land and emigration
company for the opening up and settlement
of the Red River and Saskatchewan Terri
tories. It is proposed not to wait longer
for the action Of the Imperial Government,
but to go up and possess the land The
correspondent believes that such scheme,
if properly organized aud laid before the
public, would gather strength and volume,
and would ultimately and ere long become
irresistible Quite number Of gentlemen,
some Of them far advanced in years, would
be found ready to leave Brantford, and seek
a home in the great Northwest All that
the prompters Of this great scheme ask is
that the Dominion GoyenmentAwill guar
antee to the settlers the same pre-emptive
rights that have h,retofore prevailed in
Canada, on that country becoming part and
parcel of this Dominion. 1t is proposed to
form a joint stock company, who shall
make proper surveys into township tracts,
and locate towns and cities. The erection
of various kinds of mills and manufactures
is spoken of as likely to form part Of the
project. It is believed that thousands
would emigrate from Canada and form set
tlements under such an organization. =

REPORTED FOR THE DAILY ARGUS,

| WASHINGTON, March 22.-Accounts from
Crete, Just received here, relate to the mas
sacre, committed near the end OF January.
| Of upwards of sixty christians, BY the Turks
in the fortresses of Heraclion and Phethe-
| matre. The Grand Vizior at first made
an undertaking to punish the murderers, but
instead Of doing which, he gave a cordial
welcome to their chiefs. The christians of
the two towns were so much disguised by
their proceedings that they applied 10 the
cousuls and the Russian Admiral Bontakoff
for permission to be conveyed TO Greece.
The Cretans continue to maintain their in
dependence, and although fresh Turkish
troops have arrived in the island, no battle
OF any importance has recently taken place.
Greece has become the asylum not ouly of
| the Cretans, but also of the Espirot families,
who leave Esperia in increased number in
order to escape Turkish oppression. The
ministerial crisis in Athens lead 10 the
withdrawal of the Moeratim and the forma-
ton of the lgaria cabinet, the new admin
istrstion having issued proclamation TO the
people on the 9Th Of February which char
aeterizes the forthcoming parliamentary
election as destined to express the opinion
| and the will of the people and which enjoins
the utmost regard for the maintenance of
law and order, so that ell the aspirations of
the Greeks and their sympathies for their
suffering compatriOts may be attained and
displayed without violation of the constitu-
ton and without any interruption of peace.
The proclamation is equally emphatic in
respect TO the assistance due to the SaTering
Cretan families.
NEW YORK, March 23.-The Herald's
special kilograms from Cuba, st. Thomas,
ST. Domingo and Porto Rico state that three
strong shocks of earthquake had been felt at
St. Thomas, and business was paralyzed.
General Barry had not yet reached ST.
Domingo.
The cholera had disappeared.
Awful shocks of earthquake were felt in
Porto Rico, and the inhabitants of the place
were fleeing TO the ships for safety.
The Tribune's Washington special states
that the ways and means committee has
finally determined to retain the two dollar
tax on whiskey.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The impeach-
ment court opened, and is now, at p NJ,
occupied in reading the Presidents answer
LONDON, March 23.-Dispatches from
Rome state that Admiral Farragut continues
to receive the most distinguished attention
from the Papal government, and is over
whelmed with invitations to public honors,
which, in his present disable condition he is
compelled TO decline. -

At the first trial for mayor in Portland, or
the ID inst, the radical candidate, Mcclellan
lacked only "a of an election. Itreauires a
majority of all the votes cast to elect, and at
the next trial, on the 18th inst, he lacked
209 of an election, while the whole number
of votes was 500 more than on the first trial.
The democrats carried four of the seven
Wards over the radical candidate; and three
inst. The Portland argus says:
These remarkable gains of the democracy in
the home of Senator Fessenden and Congressman
Lynch can be better appreciated when we remem-
Der that in 1867 the democratic vote was but sew
en- hundred and three,-the republican majority
then being eleven hundred and forty-nine."
This shows that the democracy of Port
land are making rapid gaius.

Gen. Grants Biography

The following is from a republican jour-
nal of the most ultra stripe, the Chicago
Republican
From what has already appeared of the
biography of General Grant by his father in
New York hebdomanai, we conceive tina,
the regret win be q common one at this proof
that the retleence possessed by the son was
not hereditary from his sire, Or otherwise,
the latter has parted with the whole of that
share of his estate. So far from being an
autobiography, it is certainly a "hadn't ought
to- biography. Since the days of Abraham
and Isaac, there has not been such an at
tempt of a father upon the life ofhis offspring.
1t Is silly, garrulous, and ridiculous.

Eastern radical papers are openly rejoi
cling that Irish help are now to be crowded
out of their places and negroes from the
cabins and plantations of the south substi-
tuted. Doubtless these radicals find suffi-
Gent compensation in this single circum-
stance for all the cost and sacrifice of the
war; for it is fact that they have not dwelt
on any other result of the war with such en-
thusiasm as this. What stirring cry that
would have made in the tagging periods of
the war,-"Negroes for our kitchens ~
They must believe that the highways would
have swarmed with recruits, with such a
shout ringing in the air. With the lapse of
time, every ones real idea of the war dis
closes itself; and we discover the radical
idea to have been, that our housekeepers
were likely to get rid of their Irish girls and
replace them with colored wenches.
