So-called Governor Clayton, of Arkansas,
insists that his militia are as mild-mannered
set of "trooly loil' vagabonds as ever
scuttled ship or cut throat. He declares
that they murdered only a.few men and raw
ished only few women, and, in short, COM
mitted no other outrages than those which
might have been expected from patriotic mill
tiamen engaged in the task of restoring civil
law. As for property taken by his troops,
this will be paid for when the owners can
prove their 'loilty." As 'loilty" means Rad
icalism, it is understood that the Radical
view of restoring civil law includes the I'M
limited plumber Of everybody that refuses to
vote the Republican ticket.

SECOND MARRIAGES IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH.-Referring to a paragraph which has
been published in the city papers in relation to
the new rule concerning second marriages.
adopted at the late diocesan synod of Boston. a
resident Catholic clergyman says 1t would be we'll
to give correct version Of the law, 30 as to pre-.
vent misapprehenson. The substance of il Is as
follows:
No personi who, on or after the first day of
January, 1869, attempts second marriage while
having husband or wife still living, can be by
any priest absolved from the censure thus incurred
without express permission from the bishop,
which permission the bishop, of course, will not
grant until the parties separate and cease TO re.
gard each other as husband and wife. That is
the church regards such marriages as null and
void, and the bishop imposes on the guilty party,
even after he or she has repented and abandoned
life OF sin, the additional penalty OF applying
to himself for permission to be admitted to the
sacraments. or Of obtaining that permission
through priest, in case some grave cause exists
which excuses the lparty from appearing before
the bishop In person. In no case could the
bishop, nor even the pope himself grant per.
mission to person to contract second marriage
while the said person had true and lawful wife
or husband still living, as Is implied By the para.
graph heretofore published and referred to.-[Bos-

A New York dispatch of Jan. 80 says: The
Herald's special from Richmond says q special
from Goldsboro, North Carolina, states that the
greatest excitement prevails at Kinston, in conse-
quence of the ynching of five prisoners there on
Saturday night last. The names Of the victims
were Richard Mobiles. white and Robert Grady,
John Miller, Kader Herring and Daniel Smith,
colored. person near By the scene
heard the discharging of the pistols as the
prisoners were shot on the bridge, and the
heavy splashes of the bodies as they were
thrown into the river. Knston is in state
of siege by the negroes Of the surrounding
country. who threaten TO liberate the remaining
prisoners in jail and burn the town. The whites
are all armed with such weapons as are at their
command. guarding their homes. Pickets are
stationed in the suburbs at night.
Another horrible outrage occurred in Dumplin
county. white man, who fred upon party OF
negroes attempting to violate the persons of
come young ladies, was murdered in his house the
roffUwfpy night, aud his Dufy cut IN halves aud
hung up in the room in which he slept. No ar.

The New York Tribune pokes fun at his
mysterious and inexplicable majesty, the Mi
kado of Japan, on the subject of that feature
of his revised criminal code which Furnishes
with death every man who happens to let his
house burn down. We confess that it does
really seem as though the loss of the house in
such case ought to be punishment enough.
But be that as it may, the Tribune is not in
proper position for throwing jocular stones at
this specimen of Japanese legislation. The
kind of justice which it has recommended for
the South, and which its party has inflicted,
is, morally and logically on par with that
which it laughs at as absurdly barbarous in
Japan. The only difference is that the former
has been, in detail and practice, tremendous
exaggeration of the latter For example, under
the Tribune's code, in addition to inficting
death on the proprietor of the house in which
fire broke out, if he could be caught, the
executioners - consisting of such faithful
functionaries as Brownlows and Claytons
militia-were expected to wreak completion
of the penal chapter on the surviving family
and the entire community, by pillaging what
ever valuables were left by fire and burn
ing all the other houses in the neighborhood /;
topping off the procedure with such embel-
lishments of barbarity as the rowing fancy of
lust or avarice might suggest. 1t is no fault of
that papers teachings, or of the policy of its
party, or of the proclivities and efforts of that
partys emissaries, if such scenes have not
occurred in every part of the South. Chance
and fate have been infinitely more kind to the
unfortunate than Radical justice, or even Rad
ical mercy

The finance committee of the lower board
last night introduced an ordinance providing
for an issue of five millions in bonds-three
millions running forty years at five per cent.
interest per annum, and two millions running
twenty years at six per cent. for the redemp-
tion of city money and other kinds of NUM-
cipal Indebtedness. This plan differs in
details from the scheme for the issue of bonds
which was proposed some time since, and re-
jected by vote of the people. That plan
provided for only one class of bonds bearing
interest at seven per cent. per annum, and
provided, likewise for the payment of the in
terest by special tax to be imposed for the
purpose. If the popular vote on that project
had any significancy beyond that of gen.
sral indisposition on the part of the public to
take any specific action at this time, it meant
that the people we're not willing to submit to
a tax for the purpose of paying interest on
this kind of Indebtedness. Perhaps it is a
conviction of this fact that has induced the
finance committee to report an ordinance for
the issue of interest-bearing bonds, without
providing any means to meet the semi-annual
payments The interest on the two classes
of bonds will amount to s270, 600 per annum,
a rather serious charge on the tax-paying
community. How it is to be met the COM
mittee do not inform us-perhaps by sup
Elemental ordinance, perhaps not at all In
any event it is extremely doubtful that the
public will sanction any measure comtemplat-
ing an increase Of taxation. Moreover, if we
can pay S270, 600 year by way of interests on
bonds, why cannot that amount be appro-
priated to the extinction of the principal?
Since the people have pronounced against the
first plan, why cannot the finance committee
turn their attention to the second?

Senator Wilson has written letter in which
he says that not twenty members of Congress
would look with favor on the scheme to dis
member Texas. So far, SO good. The same
senator declares that the matter of disfran-
chisement is to be left to the States, by which
he means the carpet-baggers, scalawags and
negroes. The States, in the true meaning of
the term-that is to say the whole popula-
tion, including the white people, he utterly
ignores. He hopes that Texas will make
good constitution and be soon admitted to
representation in Congress-such constitu-
tion, for instance, as that of Arkansas, or Ten
nessee, or Alabama-which ingeniously pro-
vide for placing the control of public affairs
in the hands of a minority of the people.
