1t is matter of history now, ac-

AT the present time indications are
that these difficulties are increasing in
the State of Kentucky, and that the
whole force of troops in that State will
be necessary to protect the United States
civil officers while in the performance
of their duty. For these duties infant
nv has proved to be inefficient, however
active they were. As soon as a move
ment was made, the criminals were in
formed of it by mounted Cenfederates
before they could be reached by the
troops, and would escape in time, re-
moving or destroying the evidence of
their guilt.
A sesrous grievance to many citizens
of the Department, especially in Ten

been their prosecution before the Courts

Grant on the Georgia RocOnstructiOu Bust

Grant on the Georgia RecOnStructiOn Bust
ness
A Washington dispatch to the Boston
Post of Dec. 22d says Facts have come
to light in this city which will have a strong
tendency TO distract still more the radical
elements, and bring upon the president elect
radical denuuciation, even before he has
assumed the responsibilities Of his Office
A great hue and cry, in and out of congress,
followed the action Of the Georgia legisla'
ture in expellag the negro members, and
congressional interference was invoked by
those who had determined not to be satisfied
with any reconstruction which gives the
white population Of the south chance to
recover their lost property and happiness.
This action Of the legislature Of Georgia
has been seized upon as u pretext 10 remand
that state back into condition Of military
despotism. Reconstruction is to be recon.
structsd according TO the new programme,
but before this is accomplished Gen, Grants
opposition will have to be met aud over
come. There is good authority for stating
that the president elect is not only opposed
70 the whole proposition, but that he fully
anticipated precisely what occurred in the
Georgia legislature, and that occurrence had
the sanction OF the military. This may
scarcely seem credible to the shrieksrs for
negro supremacy in the south; nevertheless
the fact is voucbed for by gentlemen high in
authority, and who are in positions to know.
They say that Gen. Grant not only antic.
pated oil that has occurred in the south, but
that he never would favor or sanction any
further congressional meddIing with the re.
constructed states. This presents a plain,
broad issue with the radicals upon the very
threshold Of the new administration, and
one, too, Of the greatest magnitude. The
unex pected position assumed by Gen. Grant
on this question Of rsconstructing recon.
struction furnishes the topic Of conversation
in high official circles tonight, and the
Georgia delegates in congress are encoLr.

saved from the threatened calamity Of being
again placed under military rule"

The danger Of Collision Between Gen Grant
and the Radical Leaders.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-There is increasing
anxiety in republican circles of this city re-.
spectug the danger of a collision between
Gen. Grant and the majority in congress, on
the tenure-ofotHce law. There is growing
disposition to make au issue with him, for
the sake Of the railway jobs and the whisky
ring, which, it is supposed, may thus be pro.
tected and promoted, and appearances are,
that the extremes of factions-the friends Of
Mr.. Greeley and Of Mr. Seward-will be oppos-
ed to President Grant The schemes of the
whisky ring are injured by the cutlery against
sdulterated liquors.
