The Reconstructed.
Lit. Willie j. Sartle, sends US cop
les of the Selma (Alabama) Times and
Messenger, which have the proceedings
OF the trial of one johnson, editor of
the Tuscaloosa Monitor, for cutting
and slashing negro without cause or
provocation. The trial is before a mil
itary commission, Lit. Sartle presid
ing. We have not room for the tes-
timony, much of which has the South
ern ring to it-there being any amount
of oaths and other rough talk from the
reconstructed" We take the follow
ing from the Monitor, which shows its
sentiments rather plainly. Is it best
to withdraw the troops just vet?
From the Tuscaloosa Monitor, April l.
"John, alias Balus, (negro,) was
pretty badly bruised and chopped in
a street fight with a white man last
Saturday noon.
"This will, doubtless, serve as
caution to those many insolent ne
groes, who essay to fight the ruling
race of the land.
"Let no white man, hereafter, tame
ly submit to abuse from negroes. Let
no white man stand passively by and
see fellow white man assaulted by
negro, without pitching into the latter
in a manner calculated to rid the COM
munity of a scoundrel.
Let no crowds of incendiary ne
groes be suffered to meet at street
corners-there to interchange impo,
tent threats. Disband them
From the Monitor, April I.
"NEGROES-RADICALS
The cutting and beating Of the in
solent fellow Balus on the 28th ult., in
presence of crowds of his following
gers, has had a salutary influence over
the whole of niggerdom hereabout.-
They now feel their inferiority, in ev-
cry particular, to the white man.
Besides, that little bloody affair did
much good to the whites. 1t was the
means of jerking many uncertain char
acters off the fence. The question be-
came one of so decided a character,
that every man had to show his hand.
The line between the races were dis
tinctly drawn. Niggers saw that those
so-called white men, who have jagged
them on during the sessions of Loyal
Leagues and when candidates for Off
ces at their hands--nOw fell like
drops of water, from them,n never to be
found again, except to sink them.
1t is reported, that the ku klux
Khan is preparing visit to North
Port, soon. There is little game over
there now. D. NJ. Hairless, the fellow
who piloted Croxton's forces thither
is there, trembling in his shoes. We
are afraid the ghost will hang him.
Croosland is said to be on the stoo
of repentance. May be they will lie
him off with a good vanishing and no
