A Dangerous Negro mt Large.

By telcgraphic despatch from Georgia,
published in our issue of yesterday, it would
appear that the notorious mulatto lawyer,
Bradley, is again cndeavoring to create dis
turbance between the whites and blacks This
negro is one of the most dangerous and incen-
diary radical emissares in the South. His
violence in speech and action has caused him
to be more than once arrested by the authOri-
ties, and the Reconstruction Convention was
compelled to expcl him by q unanimous vote in
consequence of his intOlerable insolence In
his harangues of excited negro mobs he inva
riably threatens a war of races; unless the
whites submit quietly to his Overbearing AFRO
gance and presumption they are threatened
with bloodshed by this miserable creature
The true reason of his having issued the
circular published yesterday is not because
of his life or the lives of his negro sup
portcrs being threatened, but because of
formidable movement being in progress to pre-
vent his election to the State Senate of Georgia
Unfortunately for the peace of the section in
which he resides, Bradley possesses consider
able influence with the negroes of Savannah
and vicinity, and will use it for the worst pur-
poses if ne is not soon taken care of by the
military authorities.
We direct attention to the violent language
of this negro as an evidence Of the condition Of
the South under radical rule II is impossible
TO estimate the dangers which threaten the
country from just such incendiaries as Bradley
In every State they can be found engaged in
embittering the blacks against the whites and
in melting them to deeds Of violence and blood
she'd This man Bradley, particularly, is
notorious for the manner in which he has
stirred up strife between the two races and
endeavored to precipitatc conflict. Only
short time ago ne was arrested on charge Of in
citing the negroes of Savannah to riot. and the
last role in which he appears makes 1t evident
that he has learned nothing from experience.
In the circular referred 10 ho warns the whites
that 90 II you should strike blow the man or
men viii be followed, and the house In which
he or they take shelter will be burned to the
ground" Such threats as these cannot fail to
infamc both races. II the whites had threat
cned to injure or kill the negroes we feel GER
tain that the fact would have been known here
long ago and that the military authorities in
Georgia would have investigated the matter.
But we do not believe that any such threats
have been made. The present conduct of
Bradley is in keeping with the whole of his
past career, and unless he is compelled to be-
have himself there will always be imminent
danger of his bringing on conflict We trust
that General Meade will take such measures as
will cffcctually silence this man. lie is dan
gcrous negro and should not be permitted TO go

| The JERSEY RAILROADS. The stock in
trade Of New Jersey is her railroads, or rather
the railroads that traverse her puny terri

she IL utterly regardless of the risk to which
human life is exposed through careless manage
ment. We had TO record yesterday several
| serious accidents on the railroads in New
Jersey, one of which resulted in the shocking
death of a youth in Jersey City. For many
years the Camden and Amboy road has
enjoyed an odious monopoly, and during all
that time has also had its crimson record OF
railroad accidents. But it Is well known that
members of all parties in the Legislature are
under the absolute control of the Camden and
