"Rule or Ruin"

The news from " ashington City
is startling. The Radical MAORI
~ in Congress is alarmed at the
slow progress of the Constitution
AZ Conventions in the late rebel
States, and anxious to hurry them
into a position to bestow at least
seventy electoral votes on the Rad
ical candidate for the Presidency.
Therefore, that majority proposes
to make General Grant military
dictator over those States, with
supreme power, responsible not
even to his commander-in-chief
the President. And the same
Congressional majority, in view of
the probable decision of the Uni
ted States Supreme Conrt to the
effect that the present recOnStruc-
ton laws are unconstitutional, pro-
pose to enact a law at once, requir-
ing the agreement of two-thirds,
and not a majority, of the Judges
on that bench, on the point of a
laws constitutionality.
These are certainly bold mena-
ces against the political life of the
republic, and threaten the COM
plete overthrow of popular gov
eminent; but, if carried out, they
will raise such storm of popular
indignation from Maine to Mary
land, from Connecticut to Califor-
MIA, that those engaged in the sui
cidal work had better prepare, in
advance, to give up the political
ghost, and retire incontinently to
merited obscurity.

Commanding officers are direc

that all freedmen who are able

earn livelihood, will lay them

WASHINGTON, January 49,
Letters have been received by the
Internal Revenue Commissioner
from Tullahoma, Tennessee, from
F. 0. Craford, Revenue Inspector
and Jos. Ramsey, Collector fol
the Third District of that State,
giving information in regard tc
the danger expected by them in
attending to business regarding
illicit distillation, and with par
ticular allusion to q case which
has but recently occurred in that
district, where party, who was
in arrears to the Government for
thousand dollars, had resisted
the Collector in making a dis
train upon him for the indebted
ness. 1t appears that after the
distrain had been accomplished, and
the Collector and Inspector had
left the premises, they were follow
ed and attacked by the party who
had been distrained, accompanied
by others, and that the Inspector
was shot and wounded. Other
outrages were perpetrated. 1t
does not appear from the cores
pondence that the offending par
ties have yet been molested either
by the military or civil authorities.
A letter from the Inspector, dated
18th inst, reports since his being
wounded several illicit distilleries
were in operation in the Third
District. Information also reach
ed the Department that resistance
had been made to revenue officers
in the discharge of their duty in.

neighborhood of Knoxville
Measures have been instituted by

Revenue for the arrest and pun

Mr.. WALLAcE-In your paper
of this morning see a paragraph,
the like of which ought to have
appeared sooner and oftener. /
refer to the one which says-"A
man cannot serve himself nor his
country better than by inducing
Immigrants by fair and honest rep
reservations, to come and abide
among u.s." I have felt surprise
that you have not talked more
this way and less about radicalism,
reconstruction, finances, and poll
ties generaliy-of which we, the
people, are sick and tired. What's
the use to waste your time, ink,
and paper in matters which you
and we are powerless to affect in
any way? 'Let the dead bury
their dead" Be no longer q poll.
tician-'tis no fit calling now
"Ephraim is joined to his idols,
let him alone" Keep your fingers
out of the cess-pool of filth; wait
till such corruption and wicked
mess work themselves out-as sure.
l.
lly they willard the body polite
becomes sound and purified again
Meanwhile, give your time and
talents to developing the resources
of your county-to agriculture in
all branches, good and wholesome
counsel and instruction in promo.
ting and improving the same--to
roads, bridges, and improvements
generally, and above all to the en-.
couragement of immigration tt

the advantages and inducements
it presents to the immigrant-su.
