Al Serious ARatr.

Judge At. N. Ogden, one Of the
Z most grave, peaceful, circumspect
and respectable Of our citizens,
who has filed the highest judicial
offices in the State who has for
years led life Of retirement, rarely
participating in political discus
sions, and living peacefully at his
suburban residence, was assailed
BIZ stalWart negro on Wednesday
night, whilst on his way to his
home, and, under a pretext that
he had spoken contemptuously Of
tie class Of political adventurers
known as carpet-baggers, was
most brutally beaten and nearly
killed. His cries for help alone
saved his life.
This is certainly q grave and
serious affair. Had it been a
negro or a Northern adventurer
who had been thus treated by a
Southerner, the occurrence would
have been telegraphed to the
Northern Press by Conway, or
some other professional calumnia-
tor, as another rebel outrage,
and would have been eagerly
seized upon as an illustration of
the cruelty and vindictive disloyalty
of our people. But since it is only
a white citizen, a native of our
State, q gentleman of exalted char
acter and position, who is the
victim of this most cruel outrage,
by an ignorant negro, doubtless
the hired rufian and tool Of the
carpet-bag gentry, the incident
Will attract no attention and elicit
no comments at the North. it is,
however, an affair Of serious
significance and import to our
people. Left to their own impulses,
we have little apprehension of
violence or disturbance from the
negroes of this State. Their
associations and early ties, their
dependence upon cur white people
Tor support and the only kindness
they receive, all oppose the idea
6f any active hostility on their
part toward the old residents but
when the more Ignorant, reckless,
and violent Of them are brought
under the influence of set of
unprincipled, Virulent and desper-
ate white adventurers, and have
it instilled into them that they must
pursue with their vengeance the
men who were once their owners
that it is their duty to put rebels"
out Of the way--that III they dol
not do this they win be reduced to |
slavery, and win be themselves
victims Of violence it should
excite no surprise when white men
and old citizens, even of the class
Of Judge Ogden, are knocked down
and maltreated ON the highway. |
The responsibility for such results
belongs To- this carpet-bag gang. |
The justice the vengeance
which should follow such crimes,
will fail Of its true object if it |
should pass over the real offenders
To seek satisfaction or penalty Of
the mere instrument sent out by
them to do their murderous work. |

The facts, as related to as BY
responsible psrties who Witne ed
the occurrence ia sc. Bernard ON
Sunday lest, satisfy rs that a de-
iberate and ARRANGED plan was set
on foot BY WaTmofh and his
friends, to get up a bloody conflict
between the negroes who favored
the Conservative cause and those
who are led BIZ the carpet baggers.
The real purpose they appear to
have had IN view, was by melting
their followers to acts Of violence
against the negroes who attended
conservative meetings, to provoke
the white persons present To some
severe and murderous retaliation.
and then to raise the cry of rebel
cruelty and outrage, and excite
Radical sympathy throughout the
country in behalf Of their party.
1t was the old game SO success
fully played in July, 1866, and BY
the same actors. The extraor-
binary patience and forbearance Of
the white gentlemen present alone
prevented the same results In ST.
Bernard. Warmoth and his CO.
conspirators only succeeded IN hav-
ing q few poor negroes badly beat
en- and shot, by persons Of their
own color, for the crime Of attend
ing a Conservative meeting. This
is the freedom and republicanism
which they have impaired to their
followers. BY creating a terror
among the negroes of the ven
geance Of their own race, for daring
to think and vote on their own CON
vietions, they hope to strengthen
and rivet their despotism over
these deluded and misguided peo-
pie.
Such are the legitimate fruits Of
the present vile scheme of the
Of placing the political
of great State, Of eight
thousand people, i'll the
hands of a score of characterless,
brainless and heartless adventurers
and spoil seekers.

Radical leaders to yield such an
easy and quiet acguiesoence To the
nomination of Gen. Grant, when
they found him such formidable
obstacle in their way, are said by
the knowing ones to hinge directly
upon the successful result of the
impeachment trial. It is not So
much for the elevation Of man. to
the Presidency they care about, as
it is, securing the official patronage
for the next term to their party.
A part Of their bargain, therefore,
with Gen. Grant, when he consent
ed to enter under the sheltering
egis of their wings, was based
upon the successful impeachment
of the President, the programme
being to place Wade Ia the Ezecu-
tive chair for the unexpired term,
as q sort of arbitrator, who is To
occupy that time with the proper
distribution Of Offices. An entire
sweep Of office holders win there
there be made upon his accession,
and positions portioned out among
The Radicals to satisfaction Of the

THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR
HUMPHREYs.
IntereatInr Corrospondence,

The jackson papers of the fourteenth
contain the correspondence which recently
passed ee n ex Governor Bsnjam in G..
Humphreys, of Mississippi, and Major Gen-
eral Ames, who has been appointed Pro-
visional Governor, upon the occasion when
the latter made demand for possession of
the executive Office and the records.
The first letter is from General Ames,
and formally notifies Hon. B. G. Hum
phreys that he has come in pursuance of an
order of General Mcdowell to assume the
duties of Provisional Governor, and re-
quests that time be named for max
iug arrangements for the proposed
change. A reply was sent six
days afterward, in which Humphreys de-
MES the right of General Mcdowell to re-
move him. He further informs General
Ames that he had telegraphed to the Pres
ident, who likewise disapproves the order
for removal. He closes by refusal to
surrender.
At this time it would appear General
Ames found another place in which to open
an office, but finding it inconvenient to
transact the business without having ac-
cess to the regular Executive Mansion,
and accordingly he formally applies for it,
This letter was answered the next day by
Mr., Humphreys, in which, after giving a
short history of the building, and the OBJ,
jects for which it was erected, he claims to
be the lawfully elected Governor of Mis-
sissippi, and that it was for the use Of
this functionary the owners of the man
sion--the people-had devoted it. Assum.
ing both these propositions to be correct
he again declines to surrender it.
General Ames, by letter written on the
ninth, proposes to occupy portion of the
mansion, and permit Mr.. Humphreys and
family to live in the other part.
To this it is replied on the same day thai
such an arrangement would be disagreea
BILE to the Ex-Governor and his family and
hopes his letter of the seventh will be salts
factory and end the controversy.
1t being thus rendered evident that per
suasion would not accomplish the desired
object, Lieutenant Baehe waited upon Mr.
Humphreys with the following order and a
guard of men:

The Electoral Rul.

The following is copy of the above bill
as it passed both Houses of Congress, and
was sent to the President on the thirteenth
instant:
Resolued etc. That none of the States
whose inhabitants were lately in rebellion
shall be entitled to be represented in the
electoral college for the choice of President
and Vice-President of the United States,
nor shall electoral votes be received OF
counted from any of such States unless at
the time prescribed by law for the choice Of
electors the people of such States, pursuant
to the acts OF Congress in that behalf, shall
have since the fourth day of March, 1867,
adopted q constitution of State govern
ments under which State government
shall have been organized, and shall be in
operation, and unless such elections shall
have been held under the authority Of such
constitution and government, aud such
State shall have also become entitled to
be represented in Congress, pursuant to the
acts OF Congress in that behalf; Provided,
That nothing herein contained shall be
construed to apply to any State which was
represented in Congress on the fourth Of
March, 1867.
Since the bill has been in the hands Of
the President, the telegraph has reported
rumor that it would be vetoed, and then
fail to pass the Senate. We can readily be-.
Ieve that there will be a veto, but the lat
ter part of the rumor is very doubtful.

Chief Clerk House q Representative.

Judge W. W. Howe, late of the Criminal
Court, has resumed the practice of law,
office of Kelly & Howe, 26 Camp street
(stOry Building). During the brief term
that Judge Howe occupied the bench he
displayed qualities which would render him
an ornament to the highest judicial position
in the State. His affable manners, strict
impartiality, learning, and intuitive sense
of right and wrong have commanded the
respect and admiration of all with whom he
came in contact. We hope he may yet be
prevailed upon to accept such position
upon the bench Of this State as his eminent
qualifications as jurist SO well ft him to
fill.
The new City Treasurer, 1t seems, did not
get fairly seated in office till yesterday.
With Mr.. William S. Mounts probable po-
litical views our own have little in common,
as he doubtless belongs to the strictest sect
Of the Democracy; but it is not as a politi-
clan that Mr.. Mount has been so long and
favorably known in this community, but
rather as thoroughly good and public.

now holds, and we shall expect altogether
