The Baltimore american says:-"Gen
Grant has already, in private conversation, ex.
pressed the hope that the adoption Of an
amendment to the Constitution. proclaiming
universal suffrage, without distinction of race
or color, will be one of the first acts of the
approaching session of Congress. Colored
suffrage having been forced upon the Sou
thern States by Congressional enactments, he
deems it no more than right that the North
should also adopt the same kind of suffrage"

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.
The Scenes of the South Repeated In
New England.

Brookfield, Connecticut, was the scene
of O fearful crime on Friday last. A
negro, suspected of being one who had
Just been let out of Jail in Danbury,
called at the house of a Mr.. Wildman,
in Brookfeld, and finding no one at
home but Mrs. Wildman, seized her and
attempted to violate her person. The
house being at some distance from her
neighbor it was some time before her
screams for help could be heard. At
last woman heard them and proceeded
to the house, when she was met at the
door by the demon and struck senseless
by large stone
He then returned to his victim and
after severe struggle, in which he
choked her until the blood came from
her eyes, ears and nose, he accomplished
his hellish purpose and decamped. The
woman who went to the assistance of
Mrs. Wildman, having recovered, gave
the alarm and very soon crowd of ex-
cited neighbors were gathered and the
woods and country searched. The ne
gro was seen, but managed to escape.
Mrs. Wildmau, who was enceinte, lin

he had been captured right away sum-

Perhaps it would be encouraging to

will not eat victuals unless they are

racy of Greene county is not a halfway
concern, willing to compromise with
the Radicals on questions of national
policy, but are determined, through the
ballot-boX, to have our Constitution

PRESTON COUNTY.
NEwBURG, WEST VIRGINIA,
September Is, 1863. !


Editors Of the Register:
1t having been announced that Gen.
eral Tom Ewing and Green Clay Smith
would speak here to-day, about 9 o'clock
A. NJ. the people began to come in,
and our otherwise quiet burg assumed
an excited and busy air. The speakers
arrived at10;45, and, after a sumptuous
dinner, they, with the crowd repaired
TO the " ground" The stage had been
erected in pleasant and shady grove in
the suburbs, near the Church, where all
could be comfortably seated. The
meeting was called to order by DR..
Dent, who nominated Col. Mar
tin for Chairman: which was unani-
mously agreed to, and j. Hope Sutor ap.
pointed Secretary. Col. Martin respond
ed in few words, aud then introduced
Gen. Ewing.
To attempt to note the good things in
his speech, were to undertake very
arduous task, they were so many, so
abundant that it is impossible to find
one to start on. In abiding to the
military rule and prescription i'll Mis-
souri,, he said an army was necessary TO
enforce the rule of one-fourth over
three fourths, and added unless this
prescription were removed in West Vir-
ginia there was a possibility of our be-
ing put under military government.
He proved the falsity of the Radical
cry of another rebellion if the Democ-
racy get the power, by saying that the
white men in the South own the prop
erty, and would not want to risk it in
rebellion, besides revolutionists are al
ways men who expect to make out of
the ravages of war.
Ia speaking of negro self-government
he named among other authorities, Lii
IBERIA. which has been sustained by the
charities of the world, and is now weak
or than twenty years ago. In 1862 the
President of that Republic asked Presi-
dent Lincoln for a gunboat to run up
and down the rivers TO keep his kinfolk
from coming down and eating up the
settlement, and remarked that this was
the kind of government sought to be
forced on the people by the Republican
party. The General continued for two
hours and ten minutes and on conclud-
ing, General Smith was introduced.
He had but an hour to speak in and
reachT siN train, but he made good use
of it. His happy hits, humorous allu-
sions and sound logic drew the laugh
ter or the plaudits of the crowd. Some
of the RAIDS couldn't stand his knocks
and left, and after the speakers had left
town talked on their s.stdtementS, as
they termed them; said they were in
sulting to Union soldiers and other lies
as foul as any uttered by the most de-
graded wreath our broad land contains.
Some two weeks ago we challenged
them to a political discussion, five days
notice being all we wanted. They are
afraid to meet us on the forum, but will
assert, after everything is over, that it
was all lie, but are very careful not
to say the particular part in which the
lie lays, or attemptits refutal. Bigotry,
ignorance and hypocrisy are hard
things to fight against. and the Democ-
racy of Lyon township have great deal
of it to do. \.

Cured at Lewisville, Lafayette county
Arkansas, one day last week, resulting
in the death of seven negroes and nye
white men. The circumstances OF 'ne
case, as we understood them, were sub
stantially as follows:
A negro man had committed horriu
outrage upon white girl about thir.
teen years old, and the citizens executed
summary punishment upon him by
hanging. A brother of the negro went
to town after the execution and be-
hayed himself in a very insulting and
riotous manner, and used threats
against those who had hung his broth
er. The people of the place, after bear
ing his insults for some time, hung him
also. The negroes, then, of the town
and neighborhood, collected together 10
the mum Der OF SOu1t lOIly VI hitst ooU
made general attack on the town,
which was met by the citizens, with the
above result. These are the facts as
far as We could learn them, having
heard nothing of the details or the
names of the persons killed. We
hope this may be a mere rumor, or at al
events that the affair has been greatly
exaggerated. We regret any acts OF
violence on the part of the white peo-
pie of the South when they can possibly
be avoided, especially in the present
excited state of the public mind, but If
the facts as related to us be correct, we
acquit the white people of any blame
in the premises, for there is no punish
ment adequate to the dreadful crime
with which the negro is charged, and
the public safety will not admit of such
cases being left to the claws delay"
nor its quirks and quibbles. The only
way to deal with such cases, whether
white or black, is by the most summary
course possible.

IN December, 1865, Mr.. STANTON, then
Secretary of War, gave as the cost of
the War Department on peace basis
the sum of thirtythree Millions of dol
lars. From official records it is shown
that the War Department in the three
years since the close of the war has cost
six hundred au1 ten millions of dollars,
or more than six times that named at
the close of the contest. Why is this
Because the Radicals are running peace
on war footing. They are keeping
large standing army, feeding thous.
ands of idle negroes, and thus increas-
ing expenses at fearful rate. If con-
tiuued in power, no man can measure
the cost of this government. That of
England OF France will bear no com.
