| ALABAMA 40 Dn EuounnT IN by FoRcH. ~
Tho Richmond Dipatch says:
ltis singing commentary upon Radical
craftsmanship that n provision which Con-
grcss inserted in the reconstruction acts for
tho bcncftof tho negro should have result
cd III giving the whites tho vantage ground.
But SO ii is. The Radicals, however, do
not intend to allow the whites to profit by q
provision which was.madc only for the pro-
lection of negroes. So thby will doubtless
pass law before the week is out declaring
that Alabama has ratified her Constitution,
and is cntitlcd to representation in Con-
gross. This movement may bring;twe new
senai ors to Washington, who will vote with
Radicals, before the trial of tho impcach-
ment Of the President shall have been con:
oittdcd. The Legislature Of Alabama. can
easily be convened and senator's be chosen
| before the middle of April.
TIE RADICAL PLor!-Ifthis Radical plot
now succeeds, thero will bo no Presidential
election in November. The forms of an
election will be gone through-and gone
through with an'unusual parade Of n. strict
conformity to the minucst requirements of
the usurping Government WILL by that time
have provided all the various agencies
through which .hat ostcnsiblc election will
be controlled, and The Radical candidate
will be declared elected BY fair means or
foul, by violence or fraud, tho revolution
lists who usnrp power will retain 1t for its
own sake and for thor protection. .-Bali.
