The AMERICAN CITIZENS BILL =
The following is the bill concerning
the rights of American citizens in
foreign States, as amended and passed
by the Senate:
"Whereas the right of expatriation
is natural and inherent right of all
people, Indispensable to the enjoy
ment of the rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness; and where
as i'll its recognition of this principle
this Government has freely received
emigrants from all nations, and
vested them with the rights Of citi-
zenship; and whereas it is claimed
that such American citizens, with
their descendants, are subjects of
foreign States, owing allegiance to
the Governments thereof; and where
as it is necessary to the maintenance
of public peace that the claim Of
foreign allegiance shall be promptly
and finally disavowed; therefore,
"Be IL enacted, DC, That any de-
claration, instruction, opinion OF
decision Of any officer of this Go
vernmcnt which denies, restricts.
impairs or questions the right of
expatriation, is hereby declared in
consistent with the fundamental
principles of this Government.
SECTION 2. That all naturalized
citizens of the United States, while
in foreign States, shall be entitled
to and shall receive from this Go
vernment the same protection of
person and property that is accorded
to native-born citizens in like situa.
tions and circumstances.
"SECrIoS 3. That whenever il
shall be made known to the Presi
dent that any citizen Of the United
States has been npjustly deprived of
liberty, by or under the authority of
foreign Government, it shall be
the duty of the President forthwith
to demand of that Government the
reasons for such Imprisonment: and
if it appears to be unlawful and in
violation of the rights of American
citizenship, the President shall forth
with demand the release of such
person; and If the release so demand
ed is unreasonably delayed or re-
fused, it shall be the duty OF the
President to use such means, not
amounting to acts of war, as he may
think necessary and proper to obtain
and effect such release, and all the
facts and proceedings relative there
to shall, rs soon as possible, be COM
municated by the President to Con-
! gress."

CARD OF THE COLUMBUS Prison
ERs.-We publish, elsewhere, the
card of the prisoners accused of the
murder of the notorious Ashburn, in
O negro brothel in Georgia. They
have been subjected by the military
authorities to tortures worthy the
days of the Inquisition. Witnesses
were suborned to swear away their
lives before military tribunal, and
were even put to the torture to
induce them to testify as the prose-
cution desired. But all efforts to
obtain evidence to warrant convic-
ton proved abortive, and. after O
long and painful Imprisonment and q
tedious trial, these victims of radical
usurpation have been released.
The Washington Bvening E'cpress
joins with the Inteuigence, in entreat-
ing every free citizen of America,
and every fair-minded man, of what
ever party, to read this recital, and
to remember that this infamy is the
fruit of aGovernment set up by the
radical leaders, and which, if they
had the power, they would to-day
extend to the whole country. To
elect General Grant, is to perpetuate
these men in power, and stamp their
tyranny permanently upon the conn
try. This is the price we are called
on to pay for the elevation Of one
utterly ignorant and unskilled in
civil aff3irs.

y WONDERFUL DOME. The dome
of the capitol at Washington is the
most ambitious structure in America.
1t is los feet higher than the Wash
ington Monument at Baltimore, IS
feet higher than that of Bunker Hill,
and % feet higher than the Trinity
Church spire of New York. 1t is q
vast hollow sphere of iron, weighing
5000, 900 pounds. How much is
that? More than 1900 tons, or
about the weight of 10000 full
grown people; or about equal to
1000 laden coal cars, which, holding
four tons apiece, would reach two
miles and half. Directly over your
head is figure in bronze, "Ameri-
ca, weighing 1895 pounds. The
pressure of the iron dome upon its
piers and pillars is 13,477 pounds to
the square foot. st. Peters presses
nearly 10000 pounds more to the
square foot, and st. Genevieve, at
Paris, 66,000 pounds more. 1t would
require, to crush the supports of our
dome, q pressure of 775, $50 pounds
to the square foot. The cost was
about 81, 100000 The new wings
cost about $6,5OO.00O. The archi-
tect has o plan for rebuilding the old
central part of the capitol and en-
largipg the park, which will cost

Governor Bullock, of Georgia,
made his appearance, on Sunday last,
in Atlanta, in handsome vehicle,
drawn by pair of stylish Express
horses. When halted in front of the
church door, the animals, true to

and backed the vehicle into the
church door. The congregation, as
q matter of course, became terribly
excited, but in few minutes quieted
down; and the mortified Governor
departed. So says tho Augusta

HE IMPEACHMENT THREAT-GRA-
TUTrOUs ADVICE TO THE president. =
A prominent radical Senator from
the West, says the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times,
sent, through third party, warn
ing to President johnson that, if
Congress re-assembles in September,
it will be for the purpose of impeach-
ing him. He added, that if Mr..
johnson behaved himself in q man
ner acceptable to the Republicans of
both Houses, there would be no dan
ger of a meeting of either House
before the next regular session. The
President is said to have received the
message with an acknowledgment OF
gratitude to the sender, and pro-
mise to heed it. According to a cor
respondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, some of the Presidents con-
servative friends. like Senators
Henderson and Fowler, are fearful
that he will do something during the
recess which will falsify the predic-
tions they made during the impeach-
ment trial of his promised good be-
havior. 1t is understood that, before
leaving for their homes. they intend
to advise him not to make an ad inte-
rim appointment in the Internal
Revenue Bureau. and also to recog-
nize, as far as possible, the State
organizations ut the South.

s1!d, 'Ali shoot together" The
firing then commenced, and witness
went to the house below, where he
remained until the firing ceased.
While there, saw men jumping over
the fences. On his return to the
front of the Hicks house, found
Smith lying on the pavement, with
wound in his face. Asked who shot
him, but no one answered. Thinks
deceased was little under the influ-
ence Of liquor. There was no noise
except the pistol shooting. Deceased
was unarmed. u
Coroner Walker then adjourned
the inquest until this morning, at II
o'clock, when number of other wit
nesses will be examined.
Mr.. w. B. Johnston, who claims
to have been elected Coroner, also
commenced an inquest, and exa-
mined several witnesses. He or!
dered his constable to summons
equal numbers of whites and blacks.
The Courts, we suppose, will yet
have to decide who is the proper
Coroner. ,
White persons who were on the
spot assert that colored men were in
the streets, firing indiscriminately at
all whites who appeared. Two white
men testify that they were brought
up standing with a pistol presented at
their heads. ,v-,..
W. B. Nash, who claims to be
Senator from Richland District, as
serted on Saturday night. and again
yesterday afternoon, that ''members
of the Legislature could not be ar
rested" Joseph Howard, colored
man, who had been lodging in the
Hicks house, disappeared, but was
overhauled at Kingsville, and was
brought to Columbia under arrest,
yesterday; but was Immediately re-
leased. although a brutal murder. has
been committed, no one is IN conJine-
neM. The prevailing opinion is that
the young men were in search of,
several brothels located in Senate
street, and by mistake entered CO.
lored boarding house. AL the in
mates seemed armed, and commenced
an indiscriminate firing on the in
truders. 1t is believed that witnesses
who are to be examined to-day will
identify the murderer Young Smith
leaves widowed mother, brother
and several sisters.
The house in front of which young
Smith was murdered seems to be q
particularly unfortunate building.
The former owner died in it from the
effects OF gun-shot wounds; his wife
came to her death under peculiar cir
cumstances; and now an unof'ending
citizen is murdered in front of the
door. ,
The Central Executive Committee
are requested to meet on the 9th
instant, at Nickerson's Hotel, Co.

Importance will be brought before
the Committee, full attendance is

THE CosT OF RADICAL RULE-RE.
PORT OF COMMISSIONER WELLS. The
report of Commissioner Wells, pro-
cured at the instance of the radical
leaders with view to whitewash the
enormous expenditures of the usurp-
ing faction which has brought the
country to the verge of ruin, has
been made public. 1t shows that
the expense of maintaining the army
and navy, since the close of the war,
has exceeded $500, 100000 year
this in time of peace. 1t shows
that, during the last fiscal year, the
impoverished country has been
drained of $471. 100000, and that
this enormous sum has been expend-
ed within the year, with the excep-
ton of about thirty four millions.
The expenses of the last year of radi-
cal rule, therefore, have been
S437, 100000. And this for what?
70 maintain in power partisan
minority whose Infamous course is
unparalleled in the political history
of the world. Will the laboring men
of the country, by their suffrages,
continue i'll power party whose
prot1igacy renders their hard earn
lngs insufficient to procure food for
themselves and their little ones, or
will they support party pledged to
rctrenchment and reform, by whose
success alone can the nation regain
the path of prosperity and peace?

Negro Rights.

negroes nave tights, luulanS nave
rights, white men have rights, but
the rights of no one of these classes
authorize encroachments on those
of others. The Democrats claim that
this is white mans Government
that it is Government of consent
and that any legislation which does
not recognize the essential principles
is necessarily an unconstitutional
usurpation. Now, when we come to
consider the legislation which has
been practiced against the Southern
people for few years past, we can
not be at o loss as to the category to
which it belongs. Laws have been
passed and enforced, not only with
out the consent, but in defiance of
the well-understood wishes of the
people whom they are intended to
bind. It is needless to add, that
such laws have no binding force or
moral sanction, and will be disre-
garded and declared null and void as
soon as the inalienable rights of the
people are again recognized.
Our negro friends can understand
from this the peculiar force of the
obligations which bind them to the
carpet-bag Adventures, who, for
their own advantage, have volun-
teered 30 be their guides, and are
deceiving them by unconstitutional
enactments, "holding the word of
promise to t. ear, to break it to the
hope" No privilege can be secured
to- the negro to which his white
neighbors do not consent, and if lie
attempts to enforce privileges on the
strength of carpet-bag authority, he
will simply destroy his claims of fu-
ture peace, and heap up wrath against
the day Of wrath.
The New Orleans Times declares
that from the Democratic party alone
can the negroes secure q sure title to
the privileges now claimed on their
behalf. If they enjoy suffrage, limited
or general, two years hence, it will be
because it is in accordance with an
adopted line OF Democratic policy.
The African element among us can
scarcely be SO green MS to suppose
that the radicals are to have q per-
petual lease of power Furthermor ore,
it has had opportunities enough to
discover the prompting principle of
the carpet-bag mendicants, and can
not long retain faith in such horde.
If the negroes join the unterrifed
Democracy, now that they are in
possession OF the elective franchise,
they may never be deprived of that
privilege, but if they continue to aid
the carpet-bag adventures in the op-
preston of our people, the day of
retaliation will surely come, and Or
the wind which they have sown q
whirl-wind will be reaped. No negro
can be SO blind as not to know that
white men are to be the rulers in this
great republic. Compared with the
whites the negroes are as insignificant
in numbers as they are deficient in
intelligence, and he deceives himself
who thinks that intelligence and
numbers will not rule. The Demo
cratic party is disposed to secure the
negroes in their freedom under oil
circumstances, and to afford them the
full protection of the laws. But any
concession beyond this will depend
altogether upon circumstances. If
\ the negro proves deserving of the
white mans confidence, he will be
\ sure Of his reward.
