GRANT ELECTED WITHoUr TIE
SOUTHERN STATEs.-It was often said
during the recent election that the South
ern States were reconstructed for the. pur.
pose of electing the Radical candidate for
the Presidency. But the popular verdict
shows that he obtained 1877 electoral votes
IN the free States, and I9 more than is
necessary to the choice, Reconstruction
on the Congressional basis no longer la
bors under this charge, which is false
from the beginning. Indeed, from this
circumstances, We look for general acquies-
cence in the policy of Congress. The ne
groes will vote in the South for at least
four years. Nothing can change it. In
that time the whites will have become ac-
customed to it, and will not desire a
change. But it is fortunate that it has
all been accomplished without the aid of
one Of these reconstructed States.-Janes-

themselves upon having given the election

can not count the majorities it has a
kuack for making them which can not be

fearful case of cannabalism which has

rested on an Arab named Ben Aissa,
search was made on his premises. Moth
ing of the missing animal was however
found, but on looking into bush little
distance from the house a bucket of pieces
of meat was found. The wife of Ben
Aissa Immediately stammered out that
they were the remains of donkey
which her husband had killed the pre-
ceding night. But She did not long per-
sistin this story; for on the bucket be-
ing turned topsy-turvey, a number of
feet and hands tumbled out. Three
heads, which had been signed,
were next discovered in the same
pot. The remains having been collected
together, they We're Immediately recog-
nized by Ben Nacer and his companion
as those of a woman named Ben Zous-
sef and her two children. The clothes
of the victims were next found hidden
in the same bush, little further on
Fatima Ben Aissa being pressed to give
some explanation of the affair, made
the following terrible confession: "My
