Plain Speaking.

The n. Y. Citizen, one of the
ablest Of the supporters of the
Democratic party, comes out in
the following burst of candor:
It is very well to say that these
open expressions OF views in favor
of imperialism in this country are
mere ephemeral exhalations of so
much vapOr. But when q journal
like the Round Table gravely de-
clares that 1--WE are drifting to i'm
perialism,n and when a represen-
tative Republican paper like the
Cincinnati Commercial talks about
the coming Capitalization which
is to absorb and govern the whole
continent, and make this city
"what London is to Great Britain,
and st. Petersburg to an empire
only less extensive than ours,n we
may well wake up to what seems
near at hand. Absurdest of all
things is it to say, in the very face
of facts, that a change in the
present form, or even a sudden
and violent overthrow of our pres
ent form of government, is impos-
Sible. 1t has been done already
The government which Radical
ism, within a very brief period,
has fastened upon the nation, is
no more the government founded
by our fathers and written in the
Constitution, than military despot-
ism is mild Republicanism. With
no further warrant, no claimed
warrant even, than party force, or
party necessity, States have been
overturned; millions of people
have been robbed of their right of
representation; the national Con
stitution has been torn to pieces
and then pasted together with
party patches, so that the funda-
mental law should be made to fol-
low a party, and not the people
made to conform to thelaw. Our
space would fail to admit of even
the leading details of the past
eight years. history, which go to
show how utterly lawless, how re
CARELESS Of all written law, the
sworn administrators of the law
have been. The Radical party
leaders, like the heather, have
only been a law unto themselves.
They have ruled the land with a
rod of iron. The country has suf.
fered all terrors of a despotism,
without the projections which
even despotisms in other nations
are compelled to extend. The Con
stitution has been utterly disre-
garded; the highest courts have
been compelled to conform their
decisions to party edicts; the Elk
ecutive has been restrained from
the exercise of its legitimate func.
tions; the people have been cruel
" plundered to sustain a more
than imperial extravaganza in adj
Iministering the government.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-Yes-
terday evening a freedman
named Thos. Hart, was brought
into the city under guard of two
citizens. The gentlemen who
arrested him disclosed one of
the most awful barbarities it
has even been our lot to record.
The negro went to the house of
Jack Glenn, a white man resid-
ing on Kitchens creek, about
10 miles below this city, and at
tempted to ravish the person of
his wife. He was baked in his
fendish purpose by the cries
and struggles of the woman,
and becoming exasperated by
her resistance, sayagely beat
her, and to cap the climax of
the tragedy cut her throat and
left her dead. Mr.. Glenn found
the culprit and chained him to
a tree, and was in the act OF
beating him to death, when
some ofthe neighbors interfered
and brought him to the civil
authorities here Jefferson,
Teas, Jin,plecute, %.
The above horrible outrage,
we venture to say, will not find
it's way into radical prints.

heartily thereof, that they went

A mad dog was killed in
Memphis a few mornings since,
but not until the rabid creature
had bitten several persons and
completely cleared the street.
A little boy was most terribly
mangled by the feroeious brute,
a large Newfoundland, whose
immense strength made him all
the more terrible. A man was
also bitten in the hand, and a
little girl thrown down by him,
but his teeth did not touch her
flesh. He was finally dispatch
ed by a pistol-shot, after an ex-
citing chase and battle.
Mad dogs are becoming quite
common throughout the coun-
try. In many places serious
and irreparable injury is the
consequence. We suggest that
our citizens commence clean
ing out this section of many
OF its worthless dogs. The dog
nuisance is a great grievance
in this country. Worthless ours
and hounds proWl about rob
bing poultry yards and harass-
ing stock. A little powder and
lead used occasionally, would
not do any harm.

A writer in speaking Of de-

great deal of it, at that.
