The scanawags and Naturalization.
Sufficient, and more than sufficient, has
been elected in the proceedings before Gen
eral GRANGER upon the complaint of DAN
NER s. Co: lin which it was stated Governor
WELLS had to marshal the witnesses) to
show that there is no ground of accusation
against Judge MEREDITH. Every one who
knew that upright judge was satisfied that
the prosecution would SO turn out. 1t has
been disgraceful attempt of white men to
curtail the power and rights of their own
race, while they are endeayoring to swell
the negro vote and increase the weight of
the negro element in the control of public
affairs. Apart from the dishonesty of the
attempt, there is q monstrous unnatural
ness in their scheming and trickery that
must damn them to everlasting infamy. ,

against my remonstrance. Don't know
that he had anything to do with the re-
moval of the fifty eight barrels. Suppose
it was his business to know what was In the
warehouse and what went out.
TESTIMONY OF CAPTAIN CARLIN.
CAPTAIN William n Carlin testified that
he is O resident of Richmond, and was pilot
for the steamer Nellie Jenkins. Knew Of
unbranded whiskey being removed from
distilleries on several occasions. Kept
memorandum of the number Of barrels re-
ceived aboard during the year 1867. 1t was
delivered to me by the inspectors. MIR. An
derson was at Howlett's at the time. Sup
pose he delivered it. Don't recollect whether
Goldman was there. At Denmead's Mr..
Gray was present, also MIR. Horatio Ander-
son and Mr.. Elsom, the general inspector.
At Roxdale, also, there was an 1nspec-
tor present when the whlskey was re-
moved. Mr.. Goldman was sometimes on
board the steamer when We had load.
Never sow any whiskey branded on board,
but was told that it had been done, but
don't remember who did it. On one occa-
sion a lot Of sixty barrels was taken to the
Chickahominy, landed, and stored IN a
barn. heard that it was afterwards placed
on schooner and re-shipped; don't know
to what point. 49,,
Cross-examined: Never knew positively
that the whiskey referred to was shipped
in violation Of law.
DETECTIVE PREsBREY's TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Otis F. sPresbrey, q special agent OF
the Treasury Department, was next sworn.
He came to this section in April, '67. About
the 25th of April learned that good deal
of whiskey was coming up the river and
went early one morning with Mr.. d: ..
Merrill to see about it. Arriving at How
lett,s, found the steamer Nellie Jenkins
about to leave with closed matches. Asked
negro what he had aboard, and no repiied
q coal and the engines" Went aboard the
steamer and found twenty barrels
Of whisksy, which we're seized: saw
Mr.. Walker and asked him II the ?
whiskey belonged to him: he said
no,but it belonged to q friend OF nus.
Went then to Denmead's, and found It q d,s.
tillery Of large capacity. Took 2 note OF
It, but was unable to see the distiiler's
books, as they were locked UP. Then went
TO Roxdale, but it was not running for lack o.
corn. Then went back to Denmead' s and took

ALARM IN WASHINGTON.

The editor of this paper received, this
morning, a private letter from prominent
man in Washington, dated the 18th, from
which we take the liberty to publish the fol-
lowing extract:
"What do you think of the presidential
prospects =? 1t seems to me that "whom
the gods would destroy they first make mad. I"
The republicans are stalking all on Grant
and the admission of the hybrid states of the
south, on their plan Of reconstruction. 1t
really seems to me that the country is in a
dangerous condition-on the brink of pre-
cipice-on the eve of revolution. God
only knows where the radicals will stop, after
yesterday and to days proceedings. The
prospect looks dark and gloomy All de-
ponds on the firmness of the President.
hope the issue viii terminate favora5ly for
republican institutions. If it were not for
the presidential election next autumn,
should despair of the republic. But be-
lieve in the "sober second thought of the
people, which is never wrong and always
efficient.
