ANOTHER RADICAL STEAL.

The latest swindlc, in the negro line,
is the "Frcedman's Homestead Commits
SION" bill to create which is now be-
fore Congress. 1t is proposed to give
this Commission enormous grants 0:
land in the far Northwest. The Com
missioners provided for in the bill arc to
be thirteen in number, and their ostensl-
BILE business will be to sell these millions
of acres, and invest the proceeds in
Southern real estate, and then give title
deeds of the latter to Southern freedmen,
and also to cXpend some part OF the
money in educating that class. Under
the laws as they now exist, negroes can
enter upon tho public lands with the
same ghts and privileges as white men,
But this does not suit the negro Protec-
tionists They propose to seize upon
territory in one section of the Union,
sell it, and provide homes for the negro
in another. No such care is taken OF
white men. They are compelled to get
land where, when. and how they cam
But more than this, the proposed Com
mission will be a second edition of that
enormous cheat and swindle, the Freed
mans Bureau. Some "Christian sol
der" or swindling, canting hypocrlte
will be placed at the head of the enter
prise, and then the plunderlng will COM
mence. White and black men will be
put under the sweating, clipping pro
cess, in order to place money In the
rockets of the Commission. The job
will extend North and South, and en-
brace men in and out of Office. General
Grant has set the example of proAigacy
by his leadership in the San Domingo
business, and the whole Radical party
has caught the infection. Mr.. ArneIl
from Tennessee, is the author of the
"Frecdman's Homestead Commission"
and as the lead promises a plentiful
yield of rich ore, it will be diligently
worked. Ifan animal drops exhausted
upon the plains of South America, in a
short time it is covered with vultures.
If bill is offered in Washington, which
has money in it, the Radical vuitures
nose the plumber on the instant, crowd
to the disgusting feast, and wrangIc over
the bloated and putrcfying carcass
This latest instance of Radical dishones-
ty adds another to the many evidences
Of tho total incapacity of that orGaniza-
ton for an honest administration of the
government, and admonishcs honest
men of all parties to remove the present
gang of cheats and robbers from power
and influence at tho earliest possible mo-
ment-Agc.

Notwithstanding Else.
Especial for the Richmond Dispatch,
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Some days
ago the Reconstruction Committee at a
full meeting, by large majority, deci-
ded to attach the Bingham amendment
as an amendment to the Senate Georgia
Bill. AT a meeting this morning there
were present about one half the mem
bers of the committee, and most of these
(Butlcr, Ward and others) were those
who had opposed tho Bingham amend
ment. Finding themselves in the ma
jority, Hamilton Ward concured in the
idea Of upsctting what had been done by
= full meeting ofthc committee, and he
made the motion that the Bingham
amendment be struck out.
Mr.. Farnsworth cndcavored to pre-
vent the success of this trick by speak
ing until the absent members could be
called in, but General Butler, chairman
of the committee, choked him off by
putting Wards motion and declaring it
carried.
This incenscd Farnsworth, and he
pitched into Butler in unmcasured terms,
ending by calling him scoundrcl.
Butler was much excited, but conten-
ted himself with the reply that he could
take that from one who behaved as
Farnsworth had behaved in Boston.
After the war Of words had subsidized
and Farnsworth had withdraw from
the room, Butler was asked what about
Farnsworth's conduct in Boston. He
replied that Farnsworth, under the pre-
tence that something was wrong in the
Boston post Office work, went to Boston
with his committee to investigate him
(Butler), and that he (Butler) in turn
had investigated Farnsworth, and found
that the latter had put up at hotel IN
disroputable company that he (Butlcr),
fearing that the leaf in the register con-
tanning the evidence might be torn out,
had procured a photograph of it, which
he had now in his possession, and which
he would show to the House yet before
Congress adjourned.
So we are to have some moro police
court trials by the House besides the
Pat Woods case.

WILMINGTON, June 1.-THE action Of

necessarily composed entirely of his polit-
ical friends, is greatly dcplored by all the
best men in the State. 1t is said he is
mainly instigated by Senators Pool and
Abbot. AN Conservatives, and many
Republicans, consider this action of the
Governor entirely unnecessary, and like
ly to lead to the most serious results ifnot
speedily abandoned. In meetings now
held all over the State every species of
outrage and all sectarian organization is
strongly denounced, and it is believed to
be the earnest desire of the best men of

CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS
THE GREAT VEGETABLE BLOOD
MEDICINE.

Cherokee Indian Bitters possess an
energy which seems to communicates
new life to the system, and renovate
the feeble, fainting powers of nature
Its operation upon the tissues of the
body, does not consist in affecting the
irritability of the living fiber, but in mn
parting a sound and healthy stimulus to
the vital organs. 1t strengthens sub
stantially and durably, the living power
of the animal machine is entirely in
noccnt and harmless; may be admins
tered with impunity to both sexes; and
all ages and conditions of life. There
is no disease of any name or nature,
whether of young or old, male or female,
but that it is proper to administer Ut,
and if it be done scasonably and persc-
veringly, it will have a good effect. 1t
is perfectly incredible to those snac-
ouainted with the Cherokee Indian Bit
crs, the facility with which healthy
action is often in the worst cases restor-
ed to tho exhausted organs of the sys-
tenn with degree of animation and
desire for food, which is perfectly as
tonshing to ALI who perceive 1t. This
medicine puriies the blood, restores the
tonic powers of the ibers, and of tho
stomach and digestive organs; rouses
the animal spirits, and substantially for
titles and teammates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.

by a mortal terror. The car was
mostly filed with negroes, and to
them did the valiant Horace Justify
shout, "Down on your knees, boys;

dows, or every man of you Will be
m~urderedl' Such a getting on all
fours was never seen before. The
Hon. Horace illustriously set the ex-
ample, and such a squirming and

up as ensued no pen IAN describe.
They do say that it was not until the

AT the hour at which the APPEAL
goes to press it is impossible to tell
the result of yesterdays elections.
Very evidently there was little inter
est developed among those most in
terested in the result. In the city the
people went to the polls. Here we
are conscious of the importance Of
having an able an i~ncorruptible judi
ciary. In the country, far m
ers were too thoroughly interested
in growing crops. Their en-
plOyees, having nothing at stake,
left the farms and gathered at the
voting places. Their very presence
in such numbers impelled many white
men to retire. If our majorities are
not as great as we had hoped, the
fault is with the country, and not
with the voters Of this city. In an
other place we may be enabled to
give later and more favorable results
than those which reached us at II
O'Clock last night from the country
districts. We have little doubt that
entire ticket Is elected, and are
only disposed to complain OF the in
defensible Indifference of our friends
in the country.

the schools reported is 235, and OF
scholars 9I6, the largest part Of this
increase being in one Presbytery-
the Presbytery of New Or

reported as added TO the
Church from the various Sabbath
schools is 40, and of scholars 2l3.
The aggregate amount contributed for
Sabbath school purposes, as shown by

benevolent purposes $3.50. A few
ofthe Presbyteries report that a small
number of their ministers preach
regularly to the children. In all the

the Shorter Catechism are committed

A Duel that DIDN'T Come Off.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-There has
been quite a little excitement for a
few days past over negotiations which
1t was known were going on for a duel
between l.. q. Washington, who is
connected with the World as CORES
pondent, and Colonel Ben Hutchins.
formerly Lieutenant Colonel of the
9th regular cavalry. The latter chal-
lenged the former for what he alleges
was insulting language directed to
him by Washington at the close OF
Senator Morton's speech in the Senate
on Thursday last. Each was a total
stranger to the other till they met in
the Senate reporters gallery, when
Colonel Hutchins made a compIi-

Of the speech. Senator Morton
had been severe on the Southern peo-
pie, and Washington, who is a Vir-
g1nian, and was Assistant Confederate
Secretary of State, becoming irritated
at Hutchins' remark, turned upon
him, and with a profane adverb. de-
nounced him, and further expressed
the wish that he had the power TO
hang Hutchins and all like him.
