od case of this Kind has just occurred,
! or, rather, is in progress, rs tho story goes,
in Alabama. Some of the Conservative
correspondents at this point nro indignant
ut such tnctios. But why I oan assure
them and your readers, upon the most
reliable authority, that II has long ago
| been determined by the leading Radicals to
! accept by congressional enactment the
State constitutions to be sent hero by the
negro conventions, irrespective of the &C.
ton of the people, and that the requirement
i'll tho reconstruction acts that these consti

registered votes is to be repealed, or (Which

as did Grant to the President, does not get
drunkwhcn he should be sober, as the 9th

is too much of II man to keep his mouth
shut like an oyster when his influence
would be so potent for good. IF there is to
