this, kind of s1carpet-bagging;" but if it
came to overturn our attractive system
of Government and to establish me-
gro rule; If it came to change by new
codes the form and substance of our gov

nation the white race, then we should at
once have closed our gates to the exodus.
AS to internal locomotion, the number of
people domiciled in France out of the de-
partments they were born in, is twelve
per cent. In this country, in reference to
States, it is twenty-five per cent No one
can complain of such movements. They
illustrate primordial principle of public
liberty. 1t is the right of lo@omotion. IL
is as old as Magma Charta; that instrument
provided for free egress and regress. Only
tvrants have by passports and other i'm
pediments forbidden locomotion. DIR.
Lieber in his volume, political Ethics"
has discussed these principles; but they
bear peculiar significance now, not so
much for their observance as their breach.
Humanity would die, advancement would
stop, unless people should come and 60.

death. The right of Interstate or interna-

4oUNG MEN Do Your DUTY.-It has been
more than three years since the war ended.
Since that time many young men have ar
rived at the age of twenty-one, and who, if
proper steps are taken, can procure their
certificates to vote The last one Of them
should come forward and discharge this du-
ty The exigency Of the times demand it;
manhood demands it.. Do not hold off and
say that you do not care. There is too
much at stake-your friends, you your
selves have too much at stake to pass over
so slightly that which is of so much impor-
lance. One vote may save this civil district !;
one vote may save the country, one vote may
save the Congressional district and elect our

PLAIN TALK-The radicals of St Louis
have been making threats as to what they
would do and how they would carry the
election at all hazards. Their buster has
not, however, got up a big scare yet. For
instance, read what the st Louis Times
says:
John McFauI, the radical. candidate for
County Marshal, told a Democrat yesterday
that it made no difference how many men
the Democrats registered, as they intended
70 strike of names enough from the list to
give the radicals the majority. He admitted
that. as the registration stood at present the
advantage was with the Democrats but that
there would be no trouble In the way indi-
Gated to reduce the Democratic vote so that
the radicals could obtain the majority. We
are authorized to give the name of the person
to whom Mr. McFauI made this statement,
and challenge him to deny 1t.
Mr. McFaul is not the only radical who
has made this declaration, and we have no
doubt that the intention of his party IS
thoroughly indicated by it
Now we have a few plain words to offer
the consideration of Mr. McFaul and the
men with whom he IS associated. They are
these The Democracy of St Louis do not
intend to submit to any such fraud. If The
radicals attempt to defeat the viii Of the
people by the employment OF such means,
there viii not be single dog Of them LETT to
tell the tale of their achievement W have
submitted to all their unjust regulations,
have complied fairly and faithfully with the
rigorous requirements Of the law, have seen
almost without a murmer the rejection OF
men clearly entitled to vote under the law,
aud now intend to reap whatever of benefit
we have secured. If they attempt to prevent
i, either by force or villainy, the streets of
st Louis will run red with blood. In the
interests of good order of peace and Of .hu-

OHIo-Since the October elections of
1867 the Constitutional Union party
Democrats and Conservatives, the true patri-
ots-have hoped to carry Ohio. Friends Of
the Rump Congress and fanatics generally,
have, since the date named, persistently as
serted that the State in question would go
for the radical nominees for President and
Vice-President whoever they might be. We
have said, upon good authority, that the
great Union and Constitutional party would
triumph in Ohio in the November election,
and now give our readers additional grounds
for hope The extract quoted below is
culled from letter to US, dated Cincinnati,
Sept. 81, 1858, and was penned by member
of one Of the staunchest commercial houses
in that city-H c. Lloyd & Co:
"Ohio is all right; and will go for Sey-
mour and Blair We had procession here
TIVE nights since, and there was ia line over
ten thousand voters. One remarkable
feature in the evening was Over fourteen
hundred men, headed by an Ex Federal
general. The leader announced to Judge
Thurman at the speakers stand, that he had
there fourteen hundred men, all OF whom
had in their pockets honorable discharges
from service ia the Federal army The
whole party were in full uniform. The gen
eral said he had in the rear of his party four
hundred men who had served in the Con
federate army, and that the two parties now
marched as brothers of a common country
and a common cause. The Confeds had
thrown over their shoulders cape of pure
white and wore caps made of the same ma
teriaL The Ex-Feds then formed a cir
Gle around the Ez-Confeds," and amidst
tremendous cheering two bands commenced
pIaying-one Yankee Doodle and the other
Dixie The effect. was splendid. Ohio will
be o. X"
We thank J. f. s, tor his kind remem-
branoe of his Tennessee friends, and hope
that we shall have the pleasure of hearing
from him again

THE Devils WoRE-During the latter
part of last week the Steamer Belle Mem
phis, st. Louis and Memphis packet,
landed at the latter city one hundred and
sixty-seven boxes of army guns-enougf to
arm five thousand men. Suspicion was
aroused, and the Memphis press charged,
after making inquiry, that the guns were
destined for the loyal Ieaguers of Arkansas,
as they were consigned to a fellow in Little
Rock by the name of " G. r. Exon" None
Of the Arkansas packets would receive the
guns, and it now turns out that there is no
such man in Little Rock as &" c. r. Exon"
On the 9th inst, the guns were stored in the
house of Conner & Richardson, Front Row,
where they Will remain until something
more is known of their owner, or owners.
The guns came from the Northwest some. :,
where Our O. inion is this Barbour Lewis
knows all about them. He has been absent
from demphis-and the g Exon - part of the
murderous programme is all fudge We adj
wise our Memphis friends to look well to
home affairs before jumping across the Ar
kansas bottom. When we were in Memphis
last week a prominent Republican told US
what we knew before--that Smith end
Lewis were did thieves, and that they
were mean enough to do any thing. Two to

MYsTERIoUs.-Some time ago a man
named Williams committed foul and afro
cious murder in Wayne county and fed
to parts then unknown. Subsequently the
murderer was arrested in North Mississippi
and placed in jail at Holly Springs Last
Tuesday evening about dark a party of
strangers, all well mounted and securely
masked, suddenly made their appearance at
the jail wherein Williams was confined and
demanded of the jailor the keys to the
prison doors. At first the jailor refused,
but when pistols were introduced by the
party making the demand, he yielded. The
party then went in, took Williams, gagged
him, and bore him away. As soon as posi-
bic the alarm was given and regular soldiers
were put in pursuit Of the mysterious party,
but nj. traces of the daring avengers could
be found. It is supposed that the party
came from the neighborhood where the MUIR
der was committed by Williams and that
they were determined that he should pay the
penalty of his crime Our informant tells
us that in. consequence of the strange vista
ton great excitement prevailed in Holly
Springs.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Doings of the Ku KIux Khan.

a paper printed away up in the twisted
State of Wisconsin, has got at the truth at
last, and makes known to all men the doings
of the Ku Klux Khan in the following ap-
propriate style What a pity it is that
Brownlow is not Governor Of Alabama
A horrible outrage was committed some
where in the State of Alabama a few days
ago. Our informant is a reliable colOred
man, who heard the particulars from
member of the Loyal League, who got his
information from a fellow who lost cousin
IN the la &c war. 1t seemed that a Mr.. Carpet
Dagger was attacked in his own house by
one thousand SIX hundred and thirty-two
Ku Kluxes, armed with double-barreled
bowie knives They slaughtered ana ate
nineteen of Mr. Baggers children before
his eyes, and compelled Mrs. Dagger to cut
her own head off and hang 1t ON hook In
the cellar. She was then ordered to keep
still upon pain of instant death, She
happened to sneeze, and the leader of the
dastardly crew Immediately had thrashing
machine set up and run Mrs. Bagger through.
It's very doubtful if she RECEIVERS.
Mr. Dagger was then forced to swallow
four tons OF gunpowder and a handful of
nitro rIvcerine He was next dieted on live
Goals until an explosion took place, which
subjected Mr.. Dagger to such intense pain
as almost to deprive hun OF reason Inc
.fends then shot him full of holes, and made
him hurrah for jefferson Davis and Horace
Greedy, and finally innoculated him with the
small pox, and soaked him with strong lye-
he was then threatened with instant death
if he revealed the names of any of the per-
petratOrs of his outrage, all of whom are
neighbors Of B. who was loyal sutler and
cotton specuIator during the war, and now
lives on a confscated plantation with enough
niggers to elect him to the Legislature 1t
is feared that Mr.. Dagger has sustained
such internal injuries that he will not be
able to appear as a witness at the military
commission appointed to try some Ex-Rebels
| for asserting that white man was better
than negro.

EARTHQUAKEs.-A gentleman who has
been present at the performance of many
earthq uakes, including the one which re-
Gently came of in San Francisco, gives q
singular and interesting account of the
effect of an earthquake on men, women,
children, and domestic fowls and animals.
He says that as q rule men run into the
streets laughing, while women and children
sink down and cry piteously and hysteri-
cally. Horses generally snort with terror
and dash madly away. Cattle below and
run wildly about. Sheep huddle close toge-
Their and stand still. Dogs bark vociferously,
and run hither and thither without An ep-
parent object. And, according to the testi-
mony of lady who was standing IN her
yard feeding her poultry when the shock OF
the San Francisco earthquake was first felt,
the hens and chickens all ran away, and
took to the hen-houSe, as thong h shower
had occurred, while her only turkey ran
toward her, and, lying fat down at her
feet, looked up into her face as If imploring
protection. ~
