Tarred and Feathered-A Burcaucrat Be-
smeared by Negroes.

The Huntsville (Ala.) Independent, of the
18th ult., contains the following;
We were informed yesterday of rich
scene, that occurred few days since at vi
emma, a village in the southeastern portion of
this county. The facts are about these: A
sub-agent of the bureau, named Pointer,
from Marshall county, desiring to replenish
the Golfers of the bureau, or his own. APP
peared in Vienna and attempted to collect
the sum of a dollar and half from each ne
gro, on the pretence that this amount was
due from them for drawing up contracts
The negroes could not see it in this light. and
refused to pay the subsidy, whereupon Poin-
ter, having imbibed freely of corn juice,
abused the negroes at round rate, cursing
and threatening them. After bearing this
till patience ceased to be virtue, q crowd
of them seized the luckless agent, and be.
smeared his face with tar, afterwards ap-
piled a coat of varnish, and with this dress,
turned him loose. But Pointers troubles
did not end here. In his disastrous plight
he entered the store of a merchant, where
there were some ladies, using boisterous and
indecent language. He laid himself down
before the FIRE, muttering and cursing the
while, when the merchant attempted to put
him out of the house. At this Pointer
showed fight, and was struck a severe blow
on the head with Ratchet which sobered
him and gave him disgust for the Vienna
country. He left precipitately and came
into Huntsville yesterday morning with a
dlshgured and bloody face,

Who is responsible? The condition of
the south is most Enthusiastically, pecu
niarily, politically-it could scarcely be
worse; starvation, despair, disturbance, ap-
pear all over its surface; yet there has been
time since the war to organize constitutional
governments in the "dislocated" states, re-
store them to their proper positions in the
Union, and to afford such protection to their
industry as would not only have raised them
beyond want, but enabled them to contrib
ute toward relieving the national burdens.
Why has not this been done? Because rad
icalism cares more for the ascendancy of its
power than for the peace and prosperity OF
the country; hence radicalism is responsible
for the calamities that affliet all sections of
our land in consequence of the condition of
the south; this is freely admitted by repub-
lican paper, as iollows:-''Congress has as
sumed control of the whole southern aues-
ton. 1t denied and violently resisted,
resented and defeated the authority which
the executive attempted to assert and exer-
else over it. Rightly or wrongly, it took into
It's own hands the whole business of dealing
with the south,-of providing such govern,
ments as will command confidence and Sc
cure the peace, progress and prosperity Of
the southern states. And congress must ex-
peet to be held responsible for the results.n

The Man Who HaslNo Opinions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA gentleman by
the name of Rogers called on General Grant,
yesterday, and in the course of conversation
asked him what he thought of Hancock's
New Orleans order. The general paused,
gazed gravely into vacancy for moment,
and replied, "Well, Rogers, if / go to
Europe next summer, Won may take that
black horse of mine and use him while Tn
gone. He's 6rst-rate under the saddle, and
trots good to buggy. Ill tell Jim to let
you have him whenever you want him.

the obliged, but stilinqusitive Rogers. "But

'Youll find good Mcclellan saddle in
the stable" was the generals response.
Rogers gave it up in disgust.
