From the Vicksburg Times
A Military Outrage.

The Capital of Mississippi was, on
Thursday evening, the scene OF a
military outrage-an outrage as
brutal, wantOn, and unprovOked, as
any we have recently had occasion to
chronicle. The parties to this out
rage we're Col. Biddle, the deputy
satrap commanding the Post Of jack
son, and drunken subordinate named
Rodgers, a Lieutenant Of Cavalry.
The circumstances of this latest
diabolical outrage, as we learn tFem
from gentlemen who were on the
ground, we're as follows: The De-
mocracy of JaCkson-that is all the
decent people, white and black-de-
termined to have a great Seymour and
Blair ratification meeting and torchN
light procession on Thursday night,
Some of the young men prepared an
eHigy Of Gen. Grant, caricature
which was very true to nature, mas
much as the great butcher was repre-
sented with a long cigar in his mouth
! and a bottle of whisky in his hand
Hearing Of this caricature, that OF
r ficious and impertinent satrap, Co
lBiddIe, wrote note to the Hot

e hibition of the caricature referred (

has nothing to do with political pro-
cessions--it is no part of his duty to
supervise transparencies, or political
caricatures-and any attempt by him,
to indulge in any such interference, is
gross assumption and impertinence,
and deserves the promptest and most
exemplary punishmentS Gen. Grant
as the General of the Army, is enti-
tied to the respect and the obedience
Of Col. Biddle, but when he assumed
the leadership of a great political
party. and became its candidate for
the highest Office in the land, he be-
came, BY that act, amenable to the
same style Of critism and warfare
that is meted out to other people, and
any ettempt to shield him from it will
end in a ridiculous failure. We pre-,

creature Rodgers, have each hearC

Errors and Appeals in reference to
the recent act Of the Legislature, by
which, the Court was caused to be

Chief Justice ShacklefOrd, and was tC

Some time ago The scalawags were
loud and persistent in their demand
for suffrage for the negro. Recently.
however, the tune has changed, and
lit is the Legislature that must choose
the Presidential electors. Negro vo'
ting was all we'll enough as long as il
was necessary to secure their election
but as the dupes are getting "enlight'
ened," it won't do to trust them in thu
Presidential contest.

The following is sensible advice
"Never enter a sick room in state
of perspiration, as the moment you
become cool your pores absorb. Do
not approach a contagious disease
with an empty stomach, nor sit be-
tween the sick and the FIRE, because
the heat attracts the 7apor. Pre-
veutives are preferable to pills Oh
powders.

Grants characteristics.

Fjonp The ", Y. Commercial AdUertGser
When General Grant, in private letter to
his father, written while he was yet achieving
his reputation in the West, modestly stated
that it was his highest ambition to be equal to
anything that might be expected of him, he
seems to have uncOnsciously epitomized the
traits that have won for him the confidence of
his countrymen and the respect of the world.
In all the trying relations in which he has
been placed, he has never once fallen short of
achieving all that could have been reasonably
expected of him.. He seems to have always
set himself to the performance of the nearest
duty without particle OF the self-seeking
that has proved the bane of so many OF our
generals and politicians While others were
planning future hOnors and aggrandizement as
the consequence OF certain acts, General Grant
kept closely to the work on hand, and left the
morrow to take care of itself. He also pos
sessed a rare intuition of character that always
led him to select the right man for the right
work. OF all his generals there is not one
who did not prove himself worthy of his
leader; none who proved unequal to the duty
intrusted TO him.
Judging the future by the past, there is
every r. ason to anticipate that in the new
position to which General Grant has been
elected he will prove equal to all that is ex-
pected of him by his countrymen. Even the
Democrats, while yet smarting under the
in the integrity and ability of the President
elect. That he will conduct his administration
with due regard to the interests aud privi-
leges of all classes, and with a strict economy,
is what is now expected of him by the Anne
rican people, and that he will realize those
anticipatiOns there is every reason to hope
Since the days of Washington there never was
President who was less indebted to the poll
ticians and more indebted TO the people. He
owes everything to the masses; nothing to
faction. Even the Southerners eonoede his
honesty and admire his magnanimity--as they
have good reason TO do-and anticipate that
his policy will be liberal and generous.
That General Grant will hold the lines with
a firm hand may be confidently anticipated
Under his administration the United States
will be respected abroad. At thome, order anC
protection Of life and property in all parts 0
the country will be strictly enforced, thu

Reconstruction i'm Sequence.

From the ". Y. World. 10
Florida is in revolution. Less in popula-
tion than our Seventeenth ward, it is in
mechanism and management a State, and now
exhibits the cheerful spectacle of two would
be Governors, and one Legislature declared
illegal by the Executive elected, who has
been 'impeached' by the ''law-making"
power on such charges as '1ying," "selling
commissions, - 0'robbing the treasury" and
several other kindred felOnies.l Compliments
pass down there, and the carpet -bagger-in-
chief Tetorts by declaring the simp saching"
body extinct because more than a quorum
have constitutionally vacated their seats by
accepting contemporaneous appointments to
other Offices. At last accounts the President
of the Senate had proclaimed the Gov
ernor deposed pending Impeachment, aud
had sought to assume the powers OF
state himself in which attempt he had
been substantially told by the Gov
ernor de facto to seek a zone yet more
tropical than even the land of flowers. So
each declares himselfr ruler and simultaneously
summons the negro militia TO his side. To
neither of whom do the colored troops, though
they undoubtedly fought nobly, seem anxious
to flock, while on the furious factions the dis
franchised virtue and brain OF the State look
with the eomplsceney of indifference where
with the wife regarded the traditional war be-
tween her husband and the bear. ' s1 .l
New, as to this rare, radiant, and racy
wrangle, OF course nobody cares whether
carpet-bagger Reed kill carpet bagger Gleason,
or carpet bagger Gleason kill oarpet-bagger
Reed, er each carpet-bagger do kill the other
sarpet-bsgger, but it reflects in serious and
comic col0rs, withal, the hideous monstrosity
and screaming farce which this system of Con-
gressional reconstruction works out when left
to the crucial test of time, and to the simple
charge of the scoundrels whom disfranchise
ment and bayonets, as negative and positive
exercises, have lifted to the chairs of power.
Florida sets rolling ball by which the
whole of the inverted pyramids dancing on
apexes in the South, and called governments
will be bowled over, and before long, by the
simple operation OF natural laws that bring
capacity and honesty to the surface, affairs
will flow in regular channels. The falling out
of the rogues will be the completion of the
proverb. THE Kilkenny cat contest now in
progress in the least will spread through all OF
the enslaved States. Scalawags and carpet bag
gers in strife for preGsdsnt and spoils have
begun a conflict which can but end when both
are powerless for further mischief. Ther
mutual RIeeds breed mutual hates, have cul-
minated in real struggle, and will finish each

when, putting his tail in his mouth, he
swallowed himself out Of sight.
This is what the World foressw and fore
told. All we asked for reconstruction was
Let 1t alone. Behold the result 1t works
out its own confusion with fear and trem-
bling. II oannot stand. II totters from in
trinsio rottenness and internal dissension. II
falls not by violence, but, as the false knight
in "lvanhoe," sits own sins strike IL dead"
Various forms may and do mark and make its
ruin. In Florida it Is dissension. In Loui-
siana the swinish negroes have turned on those
who cast before them the pearls of franchise,
and rend them. Yarmouth and company now
bask fer safety in the shadow of General
Rousseaus coatt tail, and the conservatives
hesp scriptursl Goals of fire on the heads
of those who sometimes played fantastic
tricks of state. In Alabama and Georgia and
Arkansas, and in North and South Carolina,
conclusive conservative maiorities, or great
conservative gains, stamp out the illusions and
repair the wastes wrought within the recent
years by rioters aud renegades in the name of
liberty and equality. Every such success de-
monsirates the failure of reconstruction. Il
marks a change OF sentiment, and the object
of the Congressional system was to make over
sovereign States into radical rotten boroughs
forever.
This is reconstruction in sequence. What
fraud formed, fraud is wrecking. What the
bayonet propped up, the ballot is burying in
the dust, and there is dramatic retribution
in the process. The negro, in whose sole
behoof these corporate abortions were insti-
tuted, in one way or another subvsrts the
plans of those who traded on his credulity to
work their own success over the prosperity of
his longest and truest friends.
After this we can see the answer to "Let us
have peace" After this we can see what is
the "success of the Congressional system of
reconstruction on which the Chicago plat
form congratulated the country and of which
the late election of minority President has
been proclaimed as a ratification.
No, gentlemen, your house was built upon
the sand. The rains are descending and the
floods are come which beat upon that house.
