A radical, white, named Joseph P. Rel,
a resident of Bear Creek township, Sewer
county, Ark, aged about so years, outraged
the person of his own daughter, on the 9th
ult., and, on the following night, was taken
by two unknown men, from his house and
shot. Rel was a loyal Lacquer, and ike all
he'll hounds of that damnable set, was anx-
ious, we suppose, to convince the radical au.
thorities that he was a fit subject for promo
ton.

The following items were clipped from
the Memphis Bulletin of the 9th inst and
shows conclusively that the radical party is
forced to admit that a reign of terror has
resulted from the formation of loyal leagues :
"There is a reign of terror in New Orleans
and the military are in fun possession Of the
city. The negroes had been dismissed from
the police force. Only white men were to
be seen in the city streets last night
Our telegram from New Orleans gives ae-
counts of further disturbances and murders
in Louisiana. The military are now on the
alert Both parties have agreed to stop pub
lie professions and demonstrations. The
civil government is powerless to control the
spirit of violence that rules the hour"
If you want to hear the last of the reign
of terror elect Democrats to Office.
Wherever radicals are in power, trouble is
sure to make itself known in the form of RI
OTIS, assassination and midnight horrors.
Where Democrats are in office, peace and
quiet is enjoyed by all.

WHITE MEN READ.-W. T. Prosser, a
radical candidate for Congress from the
Nashville district, in circular ISSUED on
the 9th inst, says:
"Our only safety lies in the everlasting
disfrancbisement o. rebels Ia Tennessee. The
colored men have got their feet on the necks
of the traitors and they must keep them
there Let there be no pardon for rebels,
however fair their words and actions may
be, on this side of the grave. Our own
prosperity depends on their everlasting pros
tratiOn The Gagged wolves must not be
turned loose to devour."
