Marital Law In Georgia.

Tho bill semanding Georgia back to
bayonet rule has commenced breeding
its despotism. Gen. Terry, tho satrap
commanding that district, has suspended
the hobeas corpus and virtually declared
martial law A man has been rested in
Warrenton, in that State, for muderiDg
man more than a year ago, and military
order issued prohibiting his being pro-
duced in court OK released on bail until a
decision in the premises is rendered az
military headquarters. 1t 10 said that
thc friends Of the murdered man are nu
merous, but they decline to prosecute the
man under military arrest for the crime
1t is believed that other arrests will fol-
this, and the impression creates general
alarm.
A Washington telegram Gays: "The
Senate did not intend to authorize such
suspension under the Georgia bill, and
most of the Senators thought that the
writ could not be suspended under pres
ent circumstances. But Gen. Terry has
not only suspended the writ, but virtually
declared martial law Further informa-
tian says that the pretext for this is an
intention to develop the Ku klux. For
four days the examination Of the citist ns
has been going on uuder bayonets, and
the whole commusty thrown into terror
lest suborned citizens may touch the ua.
offending A letter says that this is part
of Bullock's scheme to make it appear
that there is trouble in Georgia, aud II
the fear of being inyolsed with the mill
tasy did not deter, the scheme would be
ex posed, and would starte the couatry
even IN these times" ....'.

THE DEMOCRATIC STAfE GENERAL
COMMITTEE The Republican says that at
the late meeting Of ibis Committee in St.
Louis, the views Of nearly every member
were esehasged very freely aud fully,
and that thcse was a unanimous agree
msnt as to The policy that should be pur.
saed in the Novep,ber elections. 1t was
determined to accompany the publication
Of the committees action with short
address, this address first to be submitted
for suggestions or Endorsement to the sevo
eral members Of the COMMITTEES st their
homes, aud then given to the p ess for
dissemination throughout the State. This
course is not an unnsusl one We believe,
though is involves the consumption Of q
ti'slc time.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, although q
Radical paper, is honest enough to de.
nounce the rotten system of carpet bag
representation, which reconstruction has
forced upon the South, 1t says: .
"Lct us hope that Mr.. Sypher will be

hope, too, that the Soith shall be SO en-
franchised by a general amnesty that il
can select its own people to represent II
upos the Aoors OF Congress. What does
the Pennsylvania know Of the political
economy Of Louisiana? Who can an
alien represent there? The interests Of
that State are altogether divergent from
those Of Pennsylvan,a, and they should
have az exponent and &efeuder in th'
councils oe the country thoroughly con
vcrsant with Them Reconstruction vii
prove the shaUowest fraud in existence
while citizens of tho North pretend 4
le.isiate for those Of the late Cont d

=. Radical kIeptOmauia.

4 We are apprehcnsive that the Radical
saint, Bureau Howard, will emerge from
the present trial he is undergoing IN the
flesh, with his philanthropic feather,
sadly moltod. He will probably be in
hnc condition to run for Congress. The
testimony thus fns has been anything bu,
favorable to him. IL is not, Of course
denied that he was commissioner of the
freedmen's bureau, that he had: ::the charge
and disbursement Of it's funds and tha,
he has. in that capncity, disposed of mil.
lions upon miilion8 Of the public money.
The prosecution have already proved thuG
Howard purchased the ground ehere the
Howard University stands and cvccted
the buildings out Of the funds appropoi-
ated by Congress for the Freedman o 9
Bureau. They haze shown that he was
largely Interested in tho manufacture of
the patent brick out Of which the How
ard University is constructed that tie
money for these brick was paid out of
the bareau funds aud put into tie pock
cts OF General Howard and bis associates
IL is also 10 evidence that he asRed and
received an acre of ground purchased for
the Howard University by the bureau
funds. for himself, and that he has erected
a private residence upon it, all at the ex-
pense OF the bureau. Tho trustees of the
University have testided that the iustisu.
ton is private corporation, in no sense
connected with tho government that the
government has no contsol of it, and does
not receive any revenue OF benefit from
it. AZ the same time it is held that the
money for its erection was paid out of the
government funds, and thas the salaries
Of its professors and teachers are now
paid out Of the burcau fund. Builders
and architects have testified to the fact
that the material known as the patent
brick, cut of which the building was con
strucsed, is worthless for building pur
poses, and that it would not answer for
pirate dwellings, much less for large
p olic building. On Monday last evi-
dsnce wss taken bringing hone to the
"bureau ring responsibility sor the dis
aster to 'ho treedmons hospital, by which
number Of lives were lost. The super
intendent Of freedmen affairs in Virginia
testified chat at the suggestion of General
Howard he had invested ten thsusand
collars of the bureau funds, turned over
20 the normal school at Richmond, in the
bonds Of the First Congregational Church
in Washington at par. lie now held
them with an agreement to pay interest
annually. Tho amount thus far psoved
to have been invested in these bonds by
the bureau, directly or through the uni.
versity, is thirty-three thousand dollars.
This is a refreshing exhibit, aad there
is much more Of similar character.
Howard's idea Of sobbing sho freedmen
to build palatial church is an improve

kENTuCKY.-The following items
from the Louisville Commercial tell
how fairly the election in Kentucky
was conducted:
Hardly single negro voted in CAL
loway County. There was no violence
on the day of election, but the current
of talk before it was such as to con-
vince the colored voters that they had
better stay away from the polls. At
the Cuba precinct, in Graves County,
the negroes were driven from the polls
by threatened violence. There was no
cOlored vote polled in Graves, except
At Mayfield precinct. At Cross Roads
precinct, in McCracken County, as
about sixty cOlored voters in body
were nearing the place of voting, they
were fired upon from ambush, two of
them killed and several wounded.
The affair created great deal of con-
sternation, both among blacks and
whites; but of course the Democrats
had good majority at that precinct.
Very few cofOred votes were cast in
the counties west OF the Tennessee
river at any of the County precincts.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING is an assured

will be finished-they are already be-

cornices. That the contractor, Mr..
Cavanaugh, will not only have it fin

of the legislature, but for the use and
occupancy of the State officials, is be-
.yond any cause for apprehension of
doubt. The window frames are al
ready being placed in position and the

that the building will be in readiness
for occupancy, the proper adornment

natural and commendable pride in
making the surroundings of the struc-

this proposition to surround the

man, we may not be surprised if he is
