These words belong to monarohical,
imperial or despotic government; they
are not appropriate in free, democratic
government So far from being appro-
pirate, they have been usad and abused
by a set of demagogues to mislead, for
the purpose Of tyrannizing over the peo-
pie. They are not merely useless, but
hurtful; and the object of their introduce
ton and persistent daily reiteration by
Radical newspapers and orators, has
been thereby more easily to enslave and
render all men subservient to the Radi-
cal party.
II would be indeed strange, if not i'm.
possible, for community who make
their own government to be traitors to
their own government; and there is not
now, never has been, and never can be,
real danger from any such popular
source. The only danger, in a constitn-
tional government ordained by q free
community is, that their servants, pulled
up with the pride of Office aud love OF
power temporarily placed in their hands,
would disregard the restrictions placed
upon them BY the Constitution, and seek
BY unlawful means, by actual usurpation,
to extend their authority, and, ifpossible,
to psrpetuate it in the possession Of a
particular party.
To the Radicals in Congress belongs
the honor Of having invented, and put into
diabolical use, oaths Of allegiance for the
purpose of enabling them to discard true
men, Democrats, or opponents Of Radi-
cslism, and to prevent their votes being
counted against them. With them every
man is loyal who votes as the Radicals
prescribe; every man is disloyal who
votes the other way. A man who is true
to the constitution Of bis country, fails 10

gogues and is densunced; but IL he will

EDITORS LEDGER: This morning three
negro men entered the Office of the
County Court Clerk and demanded guns,
and when asked what they wanted guns
for. said the Ku-KIux we're down in

brazen impudence is but the legitimate
fruits of the teachings these wicked and
vicious people receive in their filthy
LOYAL Leagues from the depraved and
malicious white Radical rulers. 1t is
wellknown that the Loyal Leaguers are
sworn aud pledged to defend each other
under all circumstances, right or wrong.
IL is also well known that guushops and

pistols, are robbed of the same almost

Truly, OBSERVER.
The above speaks as the sample OF q
multitude of indications of similar cha
racter. The right to have and bear arms
in self-defense being recognized by peace
full and Conservative citizens, no remon'
strances have beea made against the
threatening fact that one portion of the
people was secretly organizing, plotting
and arming against the other II was
believed that what was permitted to
one class would be allowed to
all classes. No arrests were made,
and none were asked for or de-
sired. But it seems now that while the
blacks and their black hearted leaders
are TO be permitted to organize, swear,
and arm TO accomplish their own pur-
poses, whether good or evil, honest or
malignant, secret organizations are for
hidden to Conservative citizens for any
purpose, even tnat Vi w
say, then, that there is no use for seeresy
aud that organization for the purpose o
preserving the peace and for selfdefenss
should be open aud undisguised. And al

Apanesrsus Negro at Large.

By telegraphic dispatch from Georgia,
published in our issue of yesterday, it
would appear that the notorious mulatto
lawyer, Bradley, 10 again endeavoring
to create Q disturbance between the
whites and blacks. This negro is one Of
the most dangerous and incend;ary radi-
cal emissaries in the South. His vio-
lence in speech and action has caused
him to be more than once arrested by
the authorities, and the Reconstruction
Convention ives compelled TO expel him
by unanimous vote in consequence of
his intolerable insolence. In his ha-
rangues of excited negro nobs he in
variably threatens war Of races;
unless the whites submit quietly
to his overbearing arrogance and
presumption they are threatened
with bloodshed by this miserable erea-
ture. The true reason of his havin &
issued the circular pnblished yesterday
is not because of his life or the lives Of
his negro supporters being threatened,
but because Of formidable movement
being in progress to prevent his election
to the State Senate Of Georgia Unfor-
tunately for the peace of the section in
which be resides, Bradley possesses con-
siderable influence with the negroes of
Savannah and vicinity, and will use it
for the worst purposes if he is not soon
taken care of by the military authorities.
We direct attention to the violent Lam
guage Of this negro as an evidence of the
condition of the South under Radical
rule It 10 impossible to estimate the
dangers which threaten the country from
Just such ineendiaries as Bradley. In
every State they can be found engaged
in smbittering the blacks against the
whites, and in melting them to deeds of
violence and bloodshed. This man
Bradley, particularly, is notorious for
the manner in which be has stirred up
strife between the two races, and en-
deavored to precipitate conflict Only
q short time ago be was arrested
on q charge Of melting the ne
groes Of Savannah to riot, and the
last role in which be appears makes it
evident that he has learned nothing from
experience. In the circular referred 10
he warns the whites that "If you should
strike q blow, the man or men will be
followed, and the house in which be or
they take shelter will be burned 70 the
ground" Such threats as these cannot
fail TO infame both races. II the whites
had threatened to injure or kill the ne.
eroes We feel certain that the TACT would
have been known here long ago and
that the military authorities in Georgia
would have investigated the matter. But
We do not believe that any such threats
have been made The present conduct

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Wilson,
from the Military Committee, reported a
bill to continue the Freedmen's Bureau.
Trumbull called up the bill in regard
to the qualification Of jurors. 1t pro-
vides that the expression of opinion,
founded on public rumor or the state
ments of public journals, shall not dis
qualify a juror otherwise competent,
who shall take an oath that he can give
verdict according to the evidence.
Sumner introduced o joint resolution
to amend the Constitution of the United
States. The proposed amendment is as
follows: mo person elected as Presi-
dent or Vice President, who has once
served as President, shall afterwards be
eligible to either Office" The resolution
was referred to the Committee on the Ju-
dietary, after which the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Robinson offered the fol-
lowing as privileged resolution:
Resolred, That the resolution Of i'm
parchment against Andrew johnson,
passed February "A, 1868, and the pro-
ceedings amendstory thereto, or supple
mental thereto, be, and the same are
hereby rescindsd, and the managers APP
pointed by the House be recalled.
The Speaker ruled that the resolution
was not one of privilege, because there
was pending motion on which the pre-
vious question had been called on the
3lst of March, TO print 10000 copies Of
Buffers opening address, and that no
business was in order, except by the
unanimous consent of the House, until
that was disposed Of
