In his speech at Corinth, Miss. some
days ago, Judge Dent declared that Pres
ident Grant in company with a number
of prominent Republicans declared a few
weeks ago in his presence, that the Re-

a necessity for the reconstruction of the
South upon their party basis.

THE VICTOR CANE MmL.-Upon the invitation of
Messrs. Tbos. b. Bodley q Co., we yesterday re-
paired 10 McConnelrs lumber yard to witness an
experiment Of sugar making with the Victor cane
mill, manufactured by Messrs. Blymeyer, Norton
& Co, Gil cnDsti, Ohio. We must say, together
with many of our most experienced citizens and
planters, that the results were such as to meet
their entire satisfaction. As an invention, we
admit from practical demonstration, that II is one
which meets the necessities of the times, and one
which is calculated to greatly enhance the devel.
opment Of our agricultural resources. Its chief
importance consists in its cheapness, both ia ma
chnery, fuel, the labor necessary to engineer it,
and the rapidity with which the desired end is &C.
complished. The simplicity and cheapness of this
mill bring it within the means of every man who
owns ten acres of glouDd to make an independent
maintenance, and where the making of sugar.
which is one of our principal crops, has been
heretofore confined to the man of capital the
economy of this invention brings it within the
reach of every one who owns his little patch OF
ground, not only to make good living for him.
self, but to greatly add to the revenue of the
country. For the satisfaction of those desiring
any information connected with this new process,
we will here make mention of the fact that
Messrs. G. d. Roberts and W. A. Jourdan were
the conductors Of this experiment. These gentle
men are fine machinists, and understand thoroughly
the process of sugar-making. The price Of these
mills certainly claims the especial attention of our
planter friends. These machines are for sale by
Messrs. Chas. E. Wynne & Farr. Ice Grsvier and
II Union street, and by Messrs Thos. B. Bodley
& Co., No. Perddo street.

The unparalleled tyranny of the military su-
thorties at Jefferson, in arresting fourteen f-
teen citizens, and the killing Of another without
cause, has called forth scsthing article from the
Texas Republican, which we think they deserve.
IL 10 too long for our columns, or we would pub
lish it for the facts it contains as well as for the
well applied csstigation. 1t is evident from the
article that the military authorities had but one
object in view. aud that was to tyrannize over
the people If Jefferson for no other cause than
the alleged murder of Geo. W. Smith by some
unknown person. The authorities, IL seems, are
pursuing their work with vim worthy of better
cause. In some respects it resembles the Ashburn
affair in Georgia. The detectives use every effort
TO make the freedmen purge themselves By impIi
eating some of the first citizens. 10 this respect
II resembles the Ashburn sfisr, and we have no
doubt many OF the persons under arrest were i'm.
plcated IN this way. The killing of Capt. Perry
was brought about at the instance of Col. Mallory
the military mayor, who has no hesitation in ad.
hitting the fact. The party who shot Capt. Perry
was turned over to the civil authorities and:Qiyen
mock trial before a scalswag Judge and dis
charged. Oh, justice, where are you? Not in
the possession OF Winston Banks, Judge eighth
district Of Texas. The citizens of Jefferson are
under reign OF terror equal to that of Robes
pierre. We sincerely condole with them and trust
their situation may be made known to the higher
military authorities, and their suferings and hard
ships alleViaied.-lShreveport Southwestern.

THE FRS BRICK OF RADICAL Row.-The
New York Evening Post Of the LIST has a leading
article attacking the Radicals for their expressions
of discomfort toward General Grant and his man
ner of settling his cabinet. The Post says
we advise the gents who are now suspicious
and angry TO initiate Grants reticence. 1t will do
them no good TO begin to oppose or denounce
Grant before they know what he means do. 1t
is quite probable, think, that he will not take
cafe of their friends. 1t is quite probable, too.
thst he will not befriend all their schemes. The
pie do not think it necessary to their welfare
that the new president shall become, IN advance,
the tool of any political faction, last of all those
men whose rash and iDjudicous course has
weakened the Republican party with the people,
and whose extreme condemnation is to this ex.
tent-that q number Of its authors have lost their
reelection"
This is regarded as a determination on the part
of the conservative Republicans of that State TO
divide the party, unless they continue to receive
the lions share of the spos.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE-7he Neto HdUen EaOch
Arden Case Decided.-The New Haven "EuOch
Arden Case" 30 called has terminated before
the Superior Court in that city on Thursday. The
facts are these John A. Wilcox went to the war,
leaving young and pretty wife at home. Years
passed, and hearing nothing from him she be-.
lieved him dead, and, having vainly sought to
learn that he still lived and mourned for him in
widows apparel for two years. she married re.
spectacle mechanic named Benjamin Hotchkiss.
She lived happily with her second love until few
months ago, when the first husband appeared and
broughts suit against bis wife for bigamy and
against her second husband for adultery. AS soon
as these suits were brought, which was the first
intin alton the woman bad of her first husbands
existence, she separated herself from her second
husband, TO await the result of trial, and, like
good woman. conducted herself blamelessly
throughout. She also presented petition for a
divorce from Wilcox. The court on Thursday &C.
Quilted both honorably of the charges of bigamy
and adultery granted the petition to that of Mary
L. Martin, her maiden name. and gave Mary the
custody Of child by her first husband. The con-
clusion of the story will be the legal marriage of
Miss Mary L. Martin to Mr.. Benjamin Hotchkiss.-

Much has been said and written concerning the
mysteries Of Free Masonry. Its rites, by conjec.
lures OF bias tendency, have sometimes
been assailed. Prejudiced minds have abused
its secTesy; but the order to-day stands
like the symbolic arch, pressure merely
serving TO demonstrate its strength. It's ad.
herents eschew proselytism, yet are constantly
making converts. They forbesr to refute in words
the assaults of their opponents. but in deeds of
silent, searching, unobrusive benevolence
they have set cslumny at naught, for it has
been written, "By their fruits shall ye know
them"
Faith, hope and charity and the greatest Of
these is CHARITY" We do not know that this
Divine precept is Inscribed on their law tables,
but the workings of the order nobly snow forth
the closing clause.
One of their safest and surest modes of carry
ing out their ideas of benevolence is their Mutual

We have previously noticed how the habitues of

throwing each others hats into the body of the
House. Yesterday, however, they struck out a
new line, and complaints were made by honor
able members that the galleryists chewed to-
baeco and were not at all particular as to whether
their expectorations fell on the heads of houora-

speaker ordering the ejecrment of any person

quiet was restored.
