Some Indian chiefs of the Sac and
Fox tribes were lately arrested in
Chicago and imprisoned by the In
dian Agent, because they were on
their way TO Washington. 1t seems
that the Indian Bureau had issued
an order not to allow any Indian
delegations to visit Washington
City. The chiefs have brought suit
against tho agent for false impris-
onment.
From this it appears that the
Government is really making a wide
distinction in color. Our white
carpetbaggers and negroes are con-
stantly sending delegations to
Washington, and are there received
with great favor, but the red Indian
is not allowed TO present the out
rages and expressions perpctrated
upon him by the Spectator and
border rutiian.-[ Galveston News.

SEVERAL days ago a dispatch
was sent from Atlanta to the New
York Tribune detailing some hor-
Flble outrages committed by the
ku-Klux, among which was tie
whipping of a negro girl to death.
These outrages were located at Bar
nett station on the Georgia Rail
road. The Georgia papers promptly
denounced the story as without the
slightest foundation. The Atlanta
Neto Era (Radical) says this dis
patch was sent off by Eugene Da,
Wis, the private secretary of Gov.
Bullock. 1t is minated that the
matter will be brought to the at
tention Of the Circuit Court at its
next session in Atlanta.

GRANTS TROUBLES.

Poor Grant finds the preslden~
tial Office quite a different thing
from that of General of the army.
In the latter position his will was
supreme, and when he ordered, his
subordinates had no discretion but
to obey. Now he finds his will
and his whims Of about equal CON
sequence with the men who shouted
most vociferously for his election.
They care nothing for the man
now, except as they can use him
in carrying out their schemes or in
rewarding their friends. A very
forcible illustration Of this fact is
furnished by the Washington cor
respondent of the New York
World who, in speaking Of the
Radical squabble over the tenure
of-office law, says Each side quotes
Grant, in debate, as being all right,
and as possessing and deserving
confidence but this is only for
effect, and does not even deceive the
galleries any more. Socially and
privately, they both send the Pres
ident to Coventry as man who
don't know his mind an hour at a
time" He is reported as having
on Sunday advised those of his
friends in the House who insist
upon total repeal of the law to
recede from their position and
agree to the Senate amendments
He represented himself as being
tired of the conflict between the
two houses and anxious that it
should come TO an end. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Herald asserts that there is
reason to believe that the anxiety
about the action Of Congress on
this measure and the extraordinary
nressure of the office seekers
have worried the President to Il
degree which he did not antici-
nate. He is said to have remarked
to a member of the House of Re
representatives. that the perplexityof
disposing of the patronage was
enough, without any outside
trouble, and that h2 would not
again 60 through his experience
since the 4th of March for 500, 900.
The poor fellow is no doubt worried
beyond all his former experience or
any thing he had ever dreamed of
in his widest reveries. And yet
he does not seem to appreciate the
fact that his party is using him and
not he using the party. He com
menced his administration by de
manding that the tenure of Office
law should be repealed, and now be
appears willing to accept a modifi
cation which is regarded as of very
little consequence. But for the
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-04-01

The increase of the money pow
er in this country is steady. 1t is
superior to all party organization.
1t overrides the popular sense of
justice. 1t is the bane of the pub
lie liberty. Before it, the virtue of
public men melts as wax in the fire.
The last presidential election was
carried by it. Gen. Grant was the
bondholders' candidate. The first
essay in Congress against it has
failed. Western Radicals, who
knew the sentiment of their people
in favor of equal taxation, voted
against Morgan's proposition to tax
bonds on Tuesday, and Eastern
Democrats lodged the question.
Il failed, and the money lords tri-
umpheG. The slaveholding aristoc-
Tacy was producer of wealth, and
a lightener of taxes. The bondhold-
ing aristocracy is a consumer, and
heaper-up Of taxes. So we 60, as
Others have gone before. In equal
pace with the growth of the money
power, is the spread of corruption,
and amid its rank, luxuriant weeds,
the tree of liberty is becoming sap
less and withered.
But we are told the nation is just
entering its golden age, and I" the
best government the world ever
saw" is yet to get better. So be it,
if it may but such is not the
teaching of history.

SENATOR SPRAGUE has got the
political deliriUm tremens. He sees
snakes, gorgons, hydras, and hor-
rible future generally. He is but a
young Radical debauchee, and the
consequences of his prolonged in
toxicatlon have overtaken him
sooner than some of his fellows.
His diseased Imagination exagger-
ates the picture somewhat, but some
Of the old soakers feel enough to
make them begin. to taper off
Fessenden, Chase, Trumbull and
others take it mild now, but the
revelry still goes on, and the pota-
tons are bottle-deep, and the
drinkers many. The majority OF
the people are sober, however, and
therein is the country's hope.

THE WILD HUNT. AFTER OFFICE.


Even the correspondents of Rad
zeal journals admit that the rush to
Washington in "the wild hunt after
Office" exceeds any thing that has
ever been known. The Office seek
ers are represented as still having
possession of Washington. The
correspondent Of the Boston Jour
nal says "They haunt the Presi-
dent at his residence and at the
White House in battalions. They
crowd the capitol they deploy
through the departments, and
few Of them even call upon cores
pondents of distant newspapers,
in their anxiety TO secure autogra-
phic recommendations, which they
think may be serviceable. Some of
them want foreign missions or con-
sulates; others postoffices; others
situations in the revenue service,
and others hold out their hands i'm
ploringly for any position, the pay,
emoluments or stealings of
which will enable them to live
without work. Last week
most of these mendicants hadrooms
at Wizards hotel or the Ebbett
House. This week they are moving
to cheap taverns, and before the
end of the month they will subsist
at free lunches, unwilling to relin-
quish the wild hunt after Office.
The spectacle is disgraceful to the
nation, and must lower the standing
and character of the people among
the nations of Europe. EK-Gov-
ernors of States bow at the foot
stool of power, judges drag their
robes through the dirt for a slice of
the coveted loaf, men who once
filled places in the Senate are petit
tioning for a portion of the crumbs
which fall from official tables, and
the whole Radical party seem to
have assumed the robes of mendi-
cants and are crying for "bread and
butter"

A TEXAS RADICAL PLEADING FOR
MlkENANIMIrY.

Gov. A. ]. Hamilton with other
Texans was before The reconstruc-
ton committee of the House of
Representatives Tuesday, and he
argued at length for the constitu-
ton lately framed, which allows all
to vote but limits the right to hold
Office in accordance with the four
teenth amendment. He plead for
magnanimity as well as Justice TO-
ward the people, and begged that
in the consideration Of the question
the committee should rise above
the mere interest of party. Men Of
liberal views, who have heretofore
acted with the Radical party, are
to be found in every portion of the
South, who are earnestly laboring
to have the disabilities imposed
upon the people who were not Radi-
cal removed. 1t is only such as
know they possess no-merits to re-
commend them to the favorable
consideration of the better portion
of the white people who oppose
this liberal movement. This is the
case in Tennessee, as is well known to
every man who has taken the trouble
to investigate the matter. But for
the fact that the larger portion of
the men now in Office know that
they would stand no chance for
reelection, the ballot would be
conferred on every white man. 1t
is the lust for power that restraints
them from doing justice.
