Packing Of Jaries - Radical Roguery
It Unmasked.

Under Radical rule, says the Boston Post.
the packing of juries has become notorious,
IN Maine. In the preparation Of lists 1t i
rarely, ever. that Democrat or a luan OF
liberal views has his nama place in the box.
The law provides that 4 man who has 4 good
mor.u character, and qualified as the consti-
,ntlon directs to vote for Representatives, un-
der the age of seventy years, shall serve rs a
juror; but the law j. ignored, trampled npon,
and hung to the winds by our radical law
abiders, and the pre-essential' and exclusive
qualification, according to their Interpretation
OF the Enactment Is, that ouly those of their
political stripe, shall be competent to sit AS a
juror. All Others, no matter how capable or
honest are prescribed.
This ia literally true of the management OF
the 4. 5. Court in this District For the last
two tcrms--more particularly the last--this
Court as hr as summonng juries were con
cerncd. was made corrupt political ma
chine. As a general thing the most ignorant
and trilins OF Radicals were selected. Sc
much so. that the Judge although disposed tC
overlook small offences against the dignity
OF the Court was openly disgustcd. And fol

ibility for il.

The New York Herald refers 20 the
want, misery and starvation to which the
Southern negroes will be subjected dur
ing the winter, as the result of their i'm.
providence and OF their faith in the false
promises msde to them by the Radical
leaders. The Herald says
Much OF the responsibility for this lies
at the door of those Radical campaigners
who, following the example Of Henry
Wilson, went Through the Southern States
early in the season making political ha-
rangues. Hundreds of men of this class
went in every direction in Radical pay
and while the negroes should have been
ploughing and planting they were going
over the country from Court house to
Court house, following the speakers,
spending what money they could gather
on the railroads. and enjoying generally
apolitical jubilee. Hence, not one in iif-
ty made provision for the winter; and
now that labor is stopped, and planters
are not under the old obligation that
slavery laid upon them to support the
laborer tho year round, the negroes are
without food or the means OF getting it.
Sharp misery will gnaw them to the bone.
and those whom the Freedmen's Bureau
can keep alive will, maybe, be somewhat
wiser next year; and will understand the
politicians better.

ES The Chicago Tribune (Radical) is
not very anxious that Mr. Stanton should
be rcnstated by the Senate as Secretary
of War 1t says:
Truth demands Of us to say that if
Mr. Stanton has no evidence that the
President is in error about his SIS for
mer position; if he admits that he was op-
posed to the Tenure OF Office Law, and
that he furnished the arguments and au-
thorities upon which the veto message
of that law was written, and that he de-
clined to write it himself only because he
had not the physical ability to do so, we
see no reason why the Senate should be
called upon, whatever may be his present
opinions, to make any special fuss about
his restoration to the place wherein he
was 50 potent in exciting and inilamng
the differences between the Executive and
the Legislative branches of the Govern
ment We say this with unfeigned re-
luctance, because we have, up to this mo
ment, believed that Mr. Stanton was, dur
ing the whole controversy, acting in
thorough accord with the party which
has now 50 generously espouscd his
cause, But our obedience to truth is a
consideration far higher than our person
al preferences and even between Andrew
johnson, base rs he is, and Dir. Stanton,
as much as we have admired and respect
cd him, We cannot hesitate moment
when, by truth, we are compelled to i'm
peach the latter and exonerate the former.
If Mr., Johnson is to be believed, Mr..
Stanton ought to have been removed.
No President could, with any regard for
his self-respect, have retained him for Il
day Hence the Senate is wasting preci-
Gus time, which ought to be devoted to
matters Of public concern, in any attemp,
to undo what Mr., Johnson has properly
done"

EDITOR BOLIVAR BULLETIN:
Dear Sir: The car left Memphis Sunday.
Oct. 18th, at u o'clock, in which were the
delegates from Tennessee to the Norfolk
convention, and arrived there Tuesday NOR
ming at 3 clock This was a good run,
1000 miles in ittle over two DAYS 1t
shows us that it is practicable for us to send
our produce on the same cars to Norfolk in
less than three days. The general notoriety
given to the meeting of the convention and
the free ride given by the various yail roads
leading to Norfolk, brought together one of
the largest conventions ever assembled for
any similar purpose. twenty-five hundred
delegates were present, and they filed the
city to OVERLOOKING The convention met in
the theatre. The object of the meeting was
wei explained by the chairman, Mr.. Bow
ling. The object was to secure a fund for
the purpose Of putting in operation line of
steamships from Norfolk to Liverpool, that
we of the west and southwest might put our
productions on cars that would run direct to
Norfolk and then be shipped on this line of
steam ships to England, and then get our
orders filed and returned the same way,
thus saving both time and money. For ex-
ample: man could ship his 10 bales Of cot
ton or 100 bushels af wheat from our depot
at Bolivar to Liverpool and sell it get in
return the productions of England saving
the Is to % per cent that the Northern mer-
chant charges.
Norfolk is small place of 10000 inhabi-
tants, the finest harbor in America, and is
certainly destined to be a very important
place. 1t is the port we can adopt for the
purposes. It's fine harbor, the only one in
the South, and It's directness from here to
England. The line Of road from Memphis
to Norfolk was the debatable ground during
the late war. The road was roughly treat
ed and badly damaged The various com
panies on the line have nearly completed all
repairs. The whole road from Memphis to
Norfolk, 1000 miles, is now in good order
and is travelled over by the freight cars in
five days. Goods from Boston, New York
and Philadelphia are delivered in eight to
eleven days. When we get thoroughly or
ganized, we can make the trip to or from
Liverpool in 90 to 25 days.

and space to give our readers full account
Of the merciless fathering Bill Stokes re
ceived in this place on last Tuesday at the
hands Of DR. j " Lef5wich. Poor old
" sniPe-bill" was used up completely, and
only excited the sympathy of the Intelligent
Democrats and Conservatives who gathered
around for the purpose Of seeing what little
brains the head Of the radical party in this
State is possessed Of The old ,changdoodle
had no better sense than to attempt to stuff
our people with the school fund humbug. 0,
how he loved the colored man how he wept,
night and day over his bitter lot; how he
importuned the freedmen TO vote for high
taxes and radical thieves; how he heaved
and pitched his bony arms high in air for
the purpose Of showing that he was gifted
with the same powers as was given to the
hind parts Of Thompson's colt; how he
argued the PM" and endeavored to con
vince the white and colored men present
that they, at least, were given an instinct as
we'll as other brutes Good Lord deliver US.
We cannot picture the miserable failure
that brag Billy Stokes succeeded in perfect
ing. And, another good item he brought
along with him Sugar Hamilton Poor .Sug.
we pitied him; no one spoke to him; but he
sat, sad, silent and Saceet, upon an old door
sill, with compressed lips, hands on stick,
head bowed down in very shame, while
above, in unmistakable letters, in crescent
form, was to be read: F." VII you take sugar
in yoUrn?' Each bystander ard wonder

passed on to more inviting scenes. Sug.

Outrage By The Military,

We learned last week Of an outrage per-
petrated by an inexperienced and ignorant
Lieutenant, who was accidentally in com
mand at CoriEth, Mississippi, upon Mr..
Bennett, who is a peaceablp quiet and IN
offending citizen Of Allsboro Colbert county,
Alabama. About the first of this month,
miserable Hog thief was caught near Ais
boro, and whipped by some persons in dis
guise. j SO happened that MIR. Bennett was
present when the whipping was done, but
had nothing to do with it and did not even
know the persons who did it. NOtwithstand-
ing this, and it not even being charged
against him that he had any thing to do with
the whipping, Mr.. Bennett has been ar
rested by order of this ignorant shoulder
strapped upstart, and placed in a cold, filthy
room at Corinth, and fed on bread and fat
meat HIS health is very poor and he Is IN
able to eat meat; so Is compelled to eat
bread. This man Bennett Is Il citizen of
Colbert county, Alabama, Is without the ju-
risdiction of the Military at Corinth, or any
where else; but has been dragged from his
home and family in Alabama, and for no of
fence except that this upstart officer says
he thinks be knows the man who whipped
the Hog thief and he wants to make him
tell. If Gov. Smith viii do his duty in the
premises, and we think he will he will take
steps to show this soft headed would be
deSpot, that Alabama is not under the con
troll Of Military, that we are IN the Union
and if the Military are needed, the civil au-
thorities will call upon the officers, com
handing in our own State, a0bo E11olC their
business, for help. We hope this matter
will be looked into and this offending officer
punished for his temerity.
The above is taken from the Tuscumbia,
(Ala) Times of the 9th ult. If you, en-,
dorse arbitrary arrests by the Military, vote
for the radical ticket; if you are opposed to
men being dragged from their homes by sap
headed lieutenants of the army vote the
Democratic ticket on every occasion.
