The Claiborne idrOcnfc does not relish
the assaults OF argus, in the Bulletin, on
the Democratic members of the LEGISLATURE
| and closes an editorial'in this manner:
We are sure those from this part of the
State can neither be bribed intimidated or
cajoled by radicals into betraying the in
terests OF those who sent them, no more can
they he frightened ont of the path of duty
by the denunciati0n OF pretended or diss:t-
tistied Democrats.
"Argus'' dispOses OF Senator Blackman
by admitting that lie is a young man of
some talent" but adds that he is '.inex-
perienced. with no judgment, or political
sagacity.'
Fortunately for lIr. Blackman. his con.
stitucnts, who will compare tavorably with
any in the State ior intelligence, entertain
different views Oh the subject. Though,
doubtless, they will be much mortified to
learn in what little estimation their Senator
IS held by such competent Judges as
argus"
Mr.. Nillen and Nj. Meadows he classes
with the ''innocent and unsophisticated
member from the country. who knew
| nothing OF the political situation" but

they deemed reliable authority"

Mr.. Bryan, Of Calcasieu: Ny principal
! objections to the bill are simply these :
Under the present system we are allowed a

fails at least five times out of every eight to
hold their regular meetings, because they
have no quorum.
Mr.. Yorke, of CARROLL am in favor OF
the bill presented for this reason: For a
long time past the inhabitants of the par
ishes haye found that the present system of
police juries was cumbersome aud did not
fulfill the purpose for which it was intended.

On THE eve Of the last election for
President Of the United States, Gene
raj FrankP Blair boldly asserted that
IL General Grant We're elected Presi-
dent, his love OF power was so sordid
that he would never voluntarily
relinquish his Office, no matter how
the popular vote might stand at the
succeeding election. Blair's words
are about to turn out prophecy. A
majority Of the people Of the United
States are unqUesdonably srrayed
against the President. If an election
were now held for the selection Of a
President, Grant would be defeated
and driven from power. He and his
toadies, o~hceholders and Office ex-
pectants see and know this, and they
will attempt to carry the next election
by fraud, usurpatiOn and violence, Tor,
under a pretext OF suppressing " in
s~urrections " in the Southern States,
which upon the most indUbit
able testimony have no existence
whatever, the President asks addi-
tional legislation Of Congress, to con-
fer upon him military authority which
Congress has no authority to confer!

gress having an equal interest

ADAM HoKEs.
The April Fool Ioko Of ths Macon ga.
Telegraph.

From the n. Y. World
The old saying about the great dis
lance a lie will travel while truth is
putting on its boots is likely to have
another v~erifcatiOn in the case of a
clumsy hoax published in one of the
Southern papers, and now going the
rounds of the Radical press of the
North as a genuine fact. The Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph, a well known and
respectable Democratic paper, printed
an impossible story of the seizure of a
a ma Ga RadicaD near that city by a
band of masked Ku-KluX, of his
being 1ayed alive, and finally skinned
and roasted whole at the stake. The
very extravaganza of the particulars,
the name of the pretended victim
Adam SekOh adam HOkes)-and the
circumstance that the narrative ap-
peared on the first day Of April, should
have been sufficient with any sensible
reader to stamp the story as a bur-
lesque, although a very stupid one.
But there is hardly a Radical paper
th1t has not reproduced it with start
ling headlines. The TeleQTdDh is of
course very much mortified now,
ctAAa SAGGpANDAo W NAB4AAn AuAA ElAG
purpose of It's reporter was to ridicule
the cOck-and-bull tales of Ku-Klux
Outrages, manufactured for political
purposes at the North, but unfortu-
nately for the truth, not one Radical
sheet in a hundred will have the can
dor to publish its correction. They
are not only eager to make capital out
Of the blunders Of the Southern papers
but to assist in circulating the inVen-
tiOns of their own party cotempora-
ries. There is the silly story, invented
by the Commercial AdUert{ser, of this
city, that the World editoriallv
prOphesied $500 majority for Governor
English. In view of the uncertainty
of most elections, il is not TO be pre-
presumed that even the most stupid
of papers, not even the Commercial
itself, would be guilty Of predicting
exact majorities beforehand. Yet the
hoax is copied into some Of the cOun-
try papers, and perhaps finds a few
rustic Radicals credulOus enough to
believe it.

THE Radicals Of the North, who
howl Ku-K1ux, rebellion, outrage,
etc., when the Southern people hang
a beastly negro for ravishing a young
lady, had better turn their attention
to their own doors. If the recent mob
at scranton, Pennsylvania, had Oc-
CURED in the South, we should have
heard nothing but Ku-KlUX, rebellion
and violence. The disorders ia the
South have originated from the same
causes that produced the recent
troubles in Scranton but while
screaming about the riot at Ne
ridian, Mississippi, the Radicals
in and out Of Congress have not
a word to say in regard to the
riot at Scranton. Moreover, it is
the duty Of Congress to protect
the dear people OF Massachusetts, as it
seems the Ku-Klux have made their
appearance in that lovely region. If
such disorders in South Carolina de-
mand the passageO of Buffers infamous
law, the same shOuldapply with equal
force to Massachusetts,. In fact, wedo
not believe any portion Of the South
can exhibit e worse state Of democrat
ization than the following facts reveal
in Massachusetts,: A little girl in a
public school in Fall River, Mass,
complained that q boy had aimed
a loaded pistol at her. An in
vestigation brought out a con-
fession that the boys We're in
the habit of carrying firearms to
school, and five Of them surrendered
to the teacher as many pistols, loaded
with shot. When even the smallest
school boys become so thoroughly de-
mOralized and so imbued with the
spirit Of this Radical era as to habitu-
ally carry pistols and other concealed
weapons, and frighten little girls by
threatening to blow out their brains,
it certainly presents a remarkable
state Of society, and one which de-
mands the special attention OF the
doughty General Butler. If the same
course is to be pursued toward the
Northern States. as the Radicals pro-
pose for the South, then the town Of
Fall River viii have to be put under
martial law, and the President viii
doubtless issue his proclamation to
the school boys to lay down their
arms within twenty days or suffer
the consequences. Meantime. accord
ing to the latest Improvements sUg-
gested by Butler, the volunteers viii
be quartered upon the citizens ofthis
bloodthirsty district in which even
the school boys carry pistols; and the
town viii have 20 pay the soldiers,
and, after the Prussian style, keep
the officers In cigars.

APPEAL
OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CITY.
SATURDAY HOBEIEs, APRIL IS isz

TEE Little Rock Gazette says: 1.-THE
late General Assembly of Arkansas,
for the time it was in session, was the
most costly that ever before assem-
bIed in this State. In addition to the
per diem and mileage of members, the
cost was over $4,000. We give the
following statement Of the amount
paid out of the treasury, under differ
ent heads. One hundred and forty
thousand dollars were appropriated
for the expenses, but it is estimated
that there are outstanding about $1,000
worth of claims remaining unpaid,
and for which there is no appropria-
ton. This makes the cost of the late
Legislature $780, 600. We called on
the Auditor last evening and got the
following statement Of where the
$4,000 went:

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

The New York L1deDenddRt says:
'' the Democrats are now sanguine
that our Republican discussions will
give them a chance for success. In
view of this possibility there is a
general looking toward Charles
Francis Adams as their most avail
able candidate, while Nj. Adams is
also spoken of as a possible Republi-
can candidate. II the Chief-J ustice
were well he would be a for
midable rival; but it is hardly pos
sible that Tammany will let the NOM
nation 60 into the hands Of an
Adams"
POSITION OF THE NEW YORK PRESS.
None of the New York papers of
either party have yet taken ground
10 favor Of any particular candidate
for the next Presidency. It is sup
posed, however, that the Sun is in
favor of Boutwell,, the Tribune of
Chase, the World of Holman, the
Standard Of Butler, the Times of
Pleasanton, the Star of Oakley Hall,
the Herald of the strongest man, and
the Express Of Caleb Cushing.
LET Us HAVE PEACE.
The Radical leader, Senator Morton,
says that only Z" war issues " are likely
to be thought of in the Presidential
canvass of neXtyear. This is the key
note Of the administration that was
elected upon Mr.. Grants cry; "Let
US have peace"
10! THE POOR INDIANS.
In 1866, a treaty was made with the
ChOctaW and ChickasaW Indians, in
which it was stipulated that if those
tribes would permit the negroes,
formerly held by them as slaves, to
enjoy equal rights of suffrage and citi-
zenship, the United States would set
apart $500, 600 for the benefit Of the
tribes, and pay them interest upon it
three-fOurths to the ChOctaWs, and
One-tOurth to the ChickasaWs. If this
were not done before the expiration
OF two years, the treaty provided
that the $500, 600 should be applied by
the Government for the benefit of
such of the negroes as should choose
to emigrate from the Indian country.
Both the tribes preferred to give up
the money rather than allow the ne
grOes to vote, and a bill was intro
duced in the House to-day to carry out
the alternative provision of the treaty,
and authorize the Secretary OF the
Interior to make use of the fund for
the benefit of such of the former
as express a desire to emigrate.
