TrRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE

WASHINGTON, March &c.
If the Radical party should By any possibility
succeed in passing Ku-klux bill-which may
at least be considered doibt(ul-the President
will sign it and have operations under 1t COM
menced Immediately Such has been his in
tentfon ever since the meeting oil Congress
and without the authority Of q law 10 enable
him to establish anew military governments
in the South, movements will be inaugurated
for securing calls from the Radical Governors
OF the States so organized, and In response 10
them, sending the military again in that Sec
tion.
This will be the last card The administration
party can play, and If it falls the leaders admit
the contest will be hopeless, as far as they are
concerned. .-.i...,-
The Democrats in the House--at present
numbering ninety nine-may succeed In pre-.
venting legislation uf q special character; and
if the Republicans who are opposed To the
adoption of a bill providing for reducing one
section Of the country to'military rule are not
bound by series OF caucus resolutions, and
join the former in their opposition to mea-
sure of that character, 1t will certainly be de-
Geated, The present hope OF the Radicals Is
that the bill to be reported can be put through
under the party lash, and that 1t will be used
freely and with wide range, admits of no doubt
whatever.
Politicians and others are on the tip-toe of
eXpectation-and some Of them Of apprehen-
sion-concerning the speech OF Mr.. Sumner, to
be delivered tomorrow. His friends who did
not desire the breach between the Massachrl-
setts senator xnd the Executive to be widened,
strove hard 10 dssuade him from the persis-
telce which leads to its delivery, and have
been successful only in pereuarling him to
modify certain portions of ii. The speech is
very lengthy, and will occupy niue columns Of
that ponderous official document, the Globe.
In Radical circles here, excepting in official
quarters, the admission is almost universal
that Grant will not be renominated, and the
TACT that the matter has received seriousscon.
sideratlon thus early is accepted by some Of
the Presidents friends as.eyidence that his
chances for second term are fast fading from
the political horizon There are iothers who
assert that it will oe as necessary to renomi-
nate Grant as it was to bring him forward two
and q half years ago. It is no secret that
number of the Radicals in power are making
preparations Ito sednce Sherman into giving
his open adherence to their sentiments, hop
ing To have him nominated. and these believe
that hen can be elected. The majority, who
work actively In manipulating the political
situation, are averse to bringing forward
another representative of the army, and think
that, il d. Soldier should be tried It would be
safer to 20 on with Grant than risk their party
with Sherman, who maybe even mere diff
cult 10 hringsinto the traces than Grant proved
himself t. be in the two years required to
get complete possession 1 him.

THE TRADE OF sAYANNAH.
The Facts Of the Case Leaking Out

A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle,
writing from Savannah, tells the following
home-truths about the trade of the latter city:
The up-country folks are inclined to think
that Savannah has been miracle Of prosperl-
ty amid the general stagnatiOn Of the past'yeaT
oecasioned by the oyercropping of the planters
and the loss of the profits of the cotton crop.
According to an old and eminent merchant
here, this so.called prosperity OF Savannah Is
all mistake. He argues thus: ut Is true.
that nearly 100000 bales OF the King have
been received al Savannah. But OF this num-
Der, fully 400, 900 have passed through to New
York without being handled by middle men.
In oldeRtimes the factorage business was con-
Quoted by comparatively few persons. Now
their name.is legion, and when 100000 bales
are manipulated by q great number Of factors,
the gains of any particular firm mustbe ne ces-
sarily small Again, the through freights on
the railroads have not only diverted much
trade from this port, but'the manufacturers OF
the East have discovered that 1t is really cheap
ier to buy cotton at Griffin or Augusta, to be
shipped direct, than It is to buy at Savannah.
They await themselves of this discovery nuch
to the chagrin Of Safahnah. Before The war,
the rice crop was an item of some coEsidera-
BILE importance 10 this place; but g. nce the
political supremacy of the,negro, it has ceased
to be OF much consideration. Nearly all the
: rice made is rconsumet at home. The>ship.
Hfent of timber was also a valuable increment
Of Savannah trade. But Darien has monopo.
lized this traffic and Savannah is left agaiH in
the lurch. Besides, the back country is very
poor and sterile, and, am assured, that fof
fully sixty miles on the Central Railway the
annual receipts tor local business do not exceed
5000 per ahnum."

THE STATE OF THE WEAT8ER:

WASHINGTON, March %.
The low barometer over Massachusetts on
Monday evening has passed to the northeast
beyond our coast, The area Of high pressure
on Monday night IN Tennessee now covers
Ohio and Lake Michigan; the pressure appears
to have decidedly fallen with large increase
of temperature. In the extreme northwest
the barometer Is stationary. On the Rocky
Mountains and on the Pacific coast clear
weather, with occasional cloudiness, has pre-
vailed to-day. EAST of the Rocky Mountains
and north of the Gulf on the immediate Gulf
coast the barometer has fallen slightly, with
threatening weather. Probabilities Fresh
southeast and northeast winds, with falling
barometer, are probable for "Wednesday, on
the upper lakes, and the same with cloudy or
rainy weather on the Gulf Partially cloudy
and Gle, weather will probably prevail on the
Atlantic coast AMI lower lakes.

On. WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH %. 1871.

There Is increasing interest over the cleo
tion TO occur in Connecticut one week from
Tuesday next, The Radicals DIRE straining
eyery nerve to prevent a conservative victory.
The public departments will send every man
home who has vote In that State, and care.
fiil report will be made if the employee should
vote other than in the Interests of the admin
lstration.
None of the general amnesty bills now be-
fore Congress viii be taken up during the pre-
sent session. The intention is to proceed no
further in the work of securing to the people
of the Southern States their just dues, no mat
ter how long the session may last. Proscrip-
tion is the most taking theme with the Radical
element, and not justice. 1t is one. however,
which. furnishes the Democratic party with q
handy weapon, and the more reckless the feel
inc becomes the more certain is it that the re-
suits win be favorable to the conservative ele-
ment in the North and West. The great OBJ
iect of the administration is to secure the South
FOR the next election, feeling assured that there
IA no danger North. Private letters from
Pennsylvania and Ohio disprove these Radical
opinions. The party is splitting into factions
daily, and neither progression or mastery in
activity can save It, ELK RIDGE.
