The New York Times of yesterday con-
fesses that Radical Imperialism at the
South was a disastrous blunder. :" The
grave mistake in policy which was COM
mitted in Louisiana, Georgia and North
Carolina, of attempting to control the ad-
ministration Of political affairs by arbi-
trary class legislation and by actual force,
undoubtedly had an unfavorable effect
upon all the Southern States"
The Montgomery Ala Journal says:
"D-. WRldrop, Democratic representa-
tive OF Washington county in the last
House, was recently sSssssinated. Some
person concealed shot him. A committee
of private gentlemen, his friends, inYesti-
gsted the case, but were unable to get any
clue to the detection of the murderer.
Where are the judicial authorities of Ala
bama? What has a committee of private
gentlemen" to do with a clear case Of as
sasslnation unless 1t is to execute Lynch
law" -.........
The Chicago Post states that the nomi-
ration of Lewis D. Campbell by the
Democrats OF the Third district of Ohio,
against General Schenck, must be re-
garded as favorable to the Republicans.
Mr.. Campbell was the standing Whig can
didste for Congress in the district years
agO-When it was not constituted an now
-and used to be regularly beaten by
John B. Weller, the most successful rsb-
BILE rouser perhaps that America has ever
produced. In those contests Mr.. Camp
bell was Whig of free soil tendencies.
This is a straw that will probably not
break that CampbelPs back.

Carpet-bsgging has paid well in the
Southern States. The Charleston, South
Carolina, .NelDS says that Governor Scott,
when he first went to that State, paid
taxes only on horse and chaise. As
Governor of the State he has for two
years received a salary of thirty-6ve hum
dred dollars per year, and now, according
to his own admission, has property TO
the value Of one hundred and thirty
Thousand dollarsi And the worst of 1t is,
that his most intimate friends cannot
lls a
similar story might be told of the doughty
Governor Bullock, of Georgis, whose
railroad speculations add aft chapter to
the history of his performances at Wash
ingtOn during the past winter. When
these facts are considered the desperate
fight made by Holden, Scott, Bullock and
others 70 retain power in the South is no
wonder or mystery.
When Congress adjourned, General
Schenck went home and caused the state
ment to be published far and wide that
he would not be a candidate for re-elec-
tion. The reason given for this course
was that he was too poor and could not
afford it. Five thousand dollars was not
enough to support him at the national
capital. He wanted an opportunity to
make more money for his support. The |
Patriot suggests that it may
be that Schenck's poverty is merely as
his loud boasts of public vir- |
,ue are only sham. My dear chill |
iren," pathetically exclaimed an ancient |
rat, 81 am about to throw of the cares Of |
public duty and return to private life. |
ind that my poverty will not permit me |
onger to maintain the expense of official |
station. Be virtuous and You will be |
happy" Wiping his eyes with his an
sient tail, the venerable rat retired from |
he presence of his family, who were much |
IA.
more curious than the rest, sought out the |
retreat of the cunning old rat, and found |
hat he had buried himself in a great |
Ohio cheese. 1t appears that Schenck's |
ruse has had the desired effect.
A Raleigh IN. c. dispatch of the 22nd |
says: Pearson, in Chambers, to-day !
commenced the examination of bench /
warrant cases. In the case of the State 4
against Wiley, nineteen negroes and four /
whites for the State, and thirteen whites |
and three negroes for the defense, were i
sworn Gs witnesses, when the COurt ad- /
burned until three o'clock. At pm,
he case was resumed, and only three
witnesses were examined for the State,
md the Court again adjourned. Nothing
Vas ELECTED beyond q description of the
building where Stephens body was
ound. Pearson was applied to, but re-
used to call out Bergen, who was bailed
o appear to-day, ne having gone to his
Command; Pearson stating that he
you'd not stop in the trial tor anything
lse. Counsel stated that they had afida-
-lts, that Bergen had threatened the
ives Of released prisoners who made affi.
Iavits regarding his cruelties and tor
ures. Judge Brooks, of the U. s. Dis
rict Court, opens his Court tomorrow,
nd will release thirty or more prisoners
low under arrest. Kirk and Bergen will |
e present to answer for contempt in not
delivering the prisoners that were
'rought before Pearson, also a civil writ
or damages. Felix Roam, released by
udge Brooks at Salisbury, for whom a
