AFRAID OF IT.

. Some of the more abiding Republi-
cans of the North are beginning to fear
that the reconstruction business is being
carried too far by the Radicals in Congress.
The following from the New York Post
shows the fears that have been excited
by the attempt to drag this State out of
the Union, that Radicals may profit by its
reconstruction:
'Does Gen. Butler think it useful to
himself and helpful to his fame and sue
cess, TO enact in Congress the part of Mr..
Beecher's celebrated dog Noble? Noble
had once seen a squirrel run into a hole,
near a certain fence corner, and thereaf-
ter, day after day, he returned and pade
himself ridiculous by barking at the same
old hole.
''The people have pleased themselves
with the belief that they were very nearly
done with reconstruction, and here, now,
comes Mr.. Butler, and begins to bark We
hemently at that same old hole. To-day
he is to introduce a bill ID reconstruct the
State Government of Tennessee; and thus,
before we are quite done'with Georgia
and Texas, we are to begin anew at the
other end of the line.
"We hope the Republicans will not
support Gen. Butler in this scheme. If
Congress is to investigate election returns
and proceedings, and to upset State
Government, or turn out a Governor and
order new election, at its pleasure, it
will soon have its hands so full-no mat
ter whether Democrats or Republicans
have the majority-that it can do nothing
else; and every State will fall prey to
political intrigues at Washington, just as
the States of Mexico are the victims of
schemes at the Mexican capital.
SIT is hard to consider such a measure
as that of Gen. Butler with patience. 1t
is hard to consider such measure as that
of Gen. Butler with patience. 1t is, of
course, of small account to say that it is
unconstitutional; nobody supposes it to
be otherwise. But it may be useful for
Republicans to remember that whatever
credit they may gain to themselves from
the economical and faithful administra-
ton of Gen. Grant, from the improvement
of the credit, the steady decrease of the
debt, the better collection of the revenue,
they will lose all, and more too, if they
allow restless members of their party to
keep open the reconstruction question.
''The Tennessee politicians, it is very
well known, are not men of enough char
acter or principle, on either side, to he
depended on. Stokes, or Senter, or An
drew Johnson-it makes very little differ
ence which of them rules the State, and
when the question is of election frauds,
we doubt if either side has any. right to
complain of the other"
Coming from Republican journal, that
is not very complimentary to the Radicals
Of this State. Instinctively, the Post
seems to understand the character of the
men engaged in this crusade against our
State government.

CADET BUTLER.

Our Roderick is in disgrace with his
Radical brethren out of Congress and out
of Tennessee, and they do not spare his
feelings in the vigorous manner they ap.
ply the lash to those who voted against
expelling him. The New York Tribune
of March IS says:
E'The precedent established in permit
ting Mr.. Whittemore TO resign seemed bad
enough. Now, in the case of Mr.. r. r..
Butler, decided yesterday, the House has
expressed its censure of what it virtually
pronounces a dishonorable act, and at the
same time refused to insist on the resigna-
ton or expulsion of the member who is
declared to be dishonest. This is split
ting hairs with vengeance. The public
will be less mealy-mOuthed. Let it be re-
membered as long as the name of r. r.
Butler appears in congressional reports,
that it is the name of dishonored Repre-
sentative"
The Cincinnati Gazette of March %
says:
''The House voted mem. con. to censure
r. r. Butler for selling a cadetship. For
the same offense ii was at the point of
Whittemore and Golladay, when
they evaded it by resigning. The vote of
censure pronounces Butler worthy of ex-
pulsion. Honorable members hitherto
when censured have resigned and appealed
to their constituents. We hear of no
of this sort from Butler. He
prefers TO hold on to his seat under the
lishonor of conviction worthy of expul-
sion, and the humiliation of a censure."
Alas poor Roderick he gets many
hard kick now from his Radical. friends.

WARRINGTON.

The escape of Bailey is an astounding
one to the Government officers, as he was
put down as a model saint. Commission
or Delano adhered to him to the last, and
according TO the Tribune he has saved the
. Government five millions of dollars. This
is TO let him down easy as a defaulter.
Had he been a Democrat, wouldn't he
have caught it
The boosters of the Grant Administra-
ton are also finding it an uphill work
since Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, demOnstra-
ted that the President Speaker, and Chair
nan of Appropriations had all under
stated the appropriations carried to
the service of the present admins
ton by $94,OOO,OOO, in order to
make spurious show of economy. 1t
is also discovered that $50 clerks in the
Treasury Department have been paid in
excess of the sum authorized by law, and
some of them as high as five thousand
dollars. 1t is also proved that exorbitant
amounts have been paid since 1862 for
printing bonds and notes, for their trans
portation, besides other extrayagant and
illegal payments elsewhere.
The Secretary of the Interior and Com
missioner of Indian Affairs both advocate
the division of the Indians into three
classes, viz : civilized, semi-civilized and
barbarous. The bill is not yet matured,
but the House Committee contemplate an
entire reorganization of the method of
dealing with the Indians, and the prohibit
ton of any more Indian treaties.

TNE MATHEWS PERIL.
How 70 prolong the agony in The
Southern States, at least until Radicalism
cGn be again forced upon those recon-
structed States which have recently
Iemancipated themselves from Radical
slavery, seems to be the study at present
of Butler, Drake, Summer, and the other
leading Radical members Of Congress.
That il Is tbeif Intention not only to pro
long the work of reconstruction, says .he
Albany Ayysss,s but to initiate the policy
so dear TO the Radical heart, of disre-
garding all the sovereign rights of the
States and oyerturning the governments
of the different States which have repudi-
ated Radicalism, is evident enough from
the bold and reckless programme which
Butler and other kindred spirits are now
developing in Congress. There never was q
more determined, outrageous and treacher-
Gus plot to oYerturn and subYert an es-
tablished form of government than is now
being made by the representatives of the
Radical party in Congress. Butler has
torn away the veil which has thus far
partially concealed the treacherous pro-
graume concocted by the Radicals, posi-
bly, before their arrangements were en-
tirely perfected, and in his proposal to
=
overthrow and subvert the legally elected
and lawfully established State govern
ment of Tennessee has very fully exposed
the treacherous designs of that corrupt
and anti-republiean party which proposes
to force upon every portion of the ooun-
try an irresponsible and centralized form
of despotism. All, these are the days
which the wisest among our fathers, the
great and good men of the nation, and
the trainers of the constitution under
which we have grown to be such power
in the world, feared would come upon
us when enervated and rendered careless
by prosperity, our people suffered the
management of public affairs to pass into
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS demagogues;
men who for the sake of party and pelf
and perquisites of Office are ready to play
the parts of Catalina and Arnold, and
who, if they themselves are to fall, are
willing to tear down the pillars which sup
port the State and involve the country in
their own personal and party ruin. 1t is
intimated by these same Radical traitors
that Congress has the right to overthrow
the government of any State with which
the leaders of that party are dissatisfied;
as is certainly the case if it has the right
to so treat Tennessee. That the nation is
in the very greatest peril, the people OF
the North must be blind indeed not to see,
and they are equally oblivious of both the
national and their own personal welfare,
if they do not see the necessity for repu-
dating the Radical party before it de-
grades and totally ruins the noblest re-
public of which history has ever made
mention.

WHEY MARTIAL LAW Is DE-
MANDFcD


Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, is
bound to get up war in his State, and
he is already craving for military COM
missions and other arbitrary measures, in
order to imprison and hang few people
in North Carolina without due process of
law. He has sent the following telegram
to Senator Abbott /:
RALEIGH, March 1S.-What is being
done to protect good citizens in Alamance
county We have Federal troops, but
we want power to act. Is it possible the
government will abandon its loyal people
to be whipped and hanged? The habeas
corpus should be at once suspended.
w. w. HOLDEN.
A letter was also received in Washing
ton on the goth inst. from Holden, in
which he asks that the President may is
suehis proclamation declaring martial law,
SO that the military commissions may go
to work. This is specimen of the Rad
ical reconstruction business, af.er two
years of trial, in North Carolina. If the
Radicals can succeed in getting martial
law declared in Tennessee and troops sent
here to do their bidding, many a poor
devil will fall a victim to their wrath I'M
der the operations of drum-head courts
martial. Judicial murder cannot be CON-
mitted under the civil law as now admin
islered, hence the demand for martial
law.

Speaker Perkins, of the House of Assembly

tanning that it was as peaceable as any

as he was able to obtain information than

the stories just set afloat, that Federal
soldiers had been notified to leave one of
