Red Republicans have full control
Of Paris, and are making demon
STATIONS in other quarters. Never,
since the days of Robespierre, have
such scenes been enacted as are
taking place today in the French
Capitol. Two hundred thousand
people have fed in terror from the
city. No mans life is safe for q
day. The orders of the Govern.

The Ku.Klux Bill.

The statute violates the letter
of the Constitution by declaring
that to be rebellion against the
United States which is nothing
more than violence to individuals,
and by permitting the writ of
habeos corpus to be suspended in
time Of peace; by authorizing the
President to employ the military
forces in depressing opposition to
State laws without any appllca-
ton from State authorities; by
extending the prohibitions of the
Fourteenth Amendment to cases
|of private wrong; and by clothing
the national courts with jurisdic.
ton over ordinary crimes and
with the function of ordinary po-
lice repression. 1t violates the
entire spirit OF the Constitution by
comforting upon the President in
time Of peace a military discretion
which belongs to him only as Com
mander-in-Chief in time of actual
war and by destroying the sepa-
rate-although subordinate--in-
dependence of the States within
their appropriate spheres, which
was firmly established in the Con-
stitution as an essential feature
|of our institutions. a

Getting Rich.

The most prominent Republi-
can newspaper in Cincinnati says
the President is very rich, and
getting richer every day." and that
his accumulation of the worlds
goods does not come from saving
his salary, or from business talent,
for nobody ever suspected him of
possessing any.
He is a stakeholder to the a.
mount Of $4,000 in a stone quar-
ry OF Washington. The govern.
ment makes contracts with the
company owning the quarry for
building materials. Grant favors
heavy appropriations for building.
The company could well afford to
give him an interest of $4,000 in
consideration of his position, and
his ability to control contracts.
John 4. Logan let a little day.
light in on this business a few
weeks ago, and the subject is now
pretty well aired. If as staunch
Republicans as can be found in
the country choose TO hold Grant
up as venal, stupid, and dishon-
est man, Democrats cannot pre-
vent them from doing SO, although
respect for the credit of the nation
would suggest that his insignifi.
canoe and worthlesSneSS be not
fully exposed.

NJ The following inciden

BN The following incident,
which lately occurred in the Texas
Legislature, will give the public
something of an idea of the law
making process in the South, as
well as in Washington and other
places North:
While some financial measure
was up for consideration, the plum.
derers, in whose interest the bill
was being manipulated, found
themselves short of q vote. They
had recourse to a subsidized men,
Der to know where another vote
could be bought and at what price.
He looked over the loil assemblage
and pointed out one whom he said
could be had for IS, 900. The mon
ey was put in his hands to make
the purchase, besides $3.50 for his
own services in this little matter
of legislation. He approached the
and bought him for $3.50,
and put the $4,000 in his own
pocket. That's business.

The True Cause OF
Trouble in the South.

All reports from the South,
given by impartial and unpre-
JUDGED persons, clearly eyince
that the great source of trouble
originates in extravagant, igno-
rant, vicious and corrupt legis-
lation by Northern carpet-bag-
gers and brutal, treacherous
negroes. Numerous high-sala-
ried Offices have been created
which are filled with the basest
and vilest white men and the
most ignorant negroes, who are
constantly engaged in laying
schemes to rob the people,. and
fomenting discord between the
races. Ex-Governor'Perry Of
South Carolina says:
"The government is in the
hands of our former slaves, and
vile adventures, who have come
from the North to prey on the
vitals Of the country, dishonor
the State, and return laden with
stolen wealth. The intelligence
and wealth of the State are
powerless, incapable of hold
ing Office, and crushed into the
dust by ignorance, pauperism,
and rascality. Taxes are levied
on them by those who pay no
taxes, and own no property
All the offices of the State are
filled with negroes, scalawags
and carpet-baggers."

Last week the Lauderdale or
phans left Columbus for South
west Georgia. Thus far they
have raised nearly $4,000. 1t
requires SIT 1000 per year to
maintain the two hundred Or
phans who are now at Home.
which is located in Lauderdale
county, Mississippi. These chill
dren of the Confederate dead,
who are giving entertainments
to raise money for the Home,
have experienced very hand
some treatment since they have
commenced their journeyings,
but Columbus deserves special
notice for the attention she be-
slowed upon them.

The Raleigh, N. G. Sentinel
gives the following: eve
have received a letter from Ser
geant Bates, who carried the u
nited States flag through the
South just after the surrender.
He says that at Greensboro
$4,000 was offered him to quit
the march, in the interest of the
Republican party. This offer,
he says, came through our fugi-
tive Governor, w. w. Holden.
We will publish the letter when
we are not so crowded with other
matter. The offer of $4,000 is
the striking feature of the let
ter, and very much after the
manner of Holden"

A Spiritualist Deliberate
ly Starves Himself
to Death.
From the Warren (Iu.) Sentinel.


For twenty-five days, ending
last Thursday morning, Mr.. Tut.
tie had existed without food or
nourishment, taking only q few
ounces Of wine aud water; but on
the morning alluded to nature gave
way, and the spirit took its fight.
Tuttle was a strong believer in
spiritualism, and claimed that the
spirit had told him that he must
fast for forty days, after which
he would go into a trance and the
spirit would depart, but after six
days it would come back, and he
would rise up and eat and then
we would all be brethren. He
said he suffered no pain of any
kind, but was tormented by those
who came to talk with him. The
day before he died we visited him
at the residence of his mother, in
this place. Going in, we found
him alone, in small room with.
out furniture, lying on a bed With
q quilt thrown over him. On
entering the room he told us to
go out.
eff you want to talk to me-
said he, "eo around TO the north
end of the house and talk through
the window. You make the ali
too close-too close"
To crafty him we proceeded to
the window.
"Do you suffer any pain, or are
you troubled, Mr.. Tuttle
"No, l am perfectly easy. You
torment me when you talk to me
My strength is almost gone now
! "What do you think is to be
come of you p
81 am going to sleep now pref
ty soon, when the spirit will de-
part. After six days it win re
turn, and l will rise up, and we
will be brothers"
To crafty him we were then
driven away from the window
Lying there ON the bed be present
ed o horrible appearance. All hii
flesh had been consumed by the
vital organs to sustain life, and
the skin elung tight to the bones
With long, uncombed hair and
whiskers, sunken eyes, and hollow
cheeks, he presented q wreck te
lnok upon. The Sunday before
he died he was immersed in Spaf
ford Branch, he believing that il
was necessary to cleanse his spirit
and he also had some of his teeth
pulled out to carry on the cleans
ing process.
On Wednesday last the authori
ties called in, who endeavored to
persuade him to eat, succeeding ir
getting him to take a little beef
tea, but the remedy came too late
He was past redemption, and
gradually sunk into the trance
from which there was no awaken
ing.

It's good thing to have brains,
and better thing to know how
to use them. A workman in

current of water was passing with

broken ice and salt around them.
In five minutes the water was fro
zen stiff, the plugs taken out, a

thawed out again, and the pipe

The Condition of France.

The condition of France is
pitiable indeed, and bids fair to
become worse, rather than bet
ter. 1t would seem as though
the miseries endured by the be-
seiged citizens of Paris, during
Its investment by the Germans,
would cause them to welcome
peace in almost any form, and
to seek gladly a respite from
the horrors of starvation, tur-
mol and strife, and apply their
energies unstintingly, to relieve
the suferings that war has in
inflicted upon them. But the
world is Mortified by the daily
accounts of blood and carnage
among the disastrous factions
of that unhappy people, and
questions seriously their fitness
to maintain a republican form
of government, whatever may
be the result Of their present
fatricidal strife
Two hundred thousand men
are now under arms for the pur-
pose of deposing the regular
appointed authorities of the
government, and every day wit
nesses the arrest and imprison-
ment of some of the leading
members of the liberal party.
and conflicts more terrible and
more destructive of human life,
than many of the great battles
which marked the struggle of
France in a recent contest with
a foreign foe. This carnival of
blood so freely INDUCED in by
discordant and unstable fac
tions of that desolate and hu.
inflated country, will in all
probability call for the inter
vention of the Prussian troops
who have been left in COM
mand of some of the French
forts. When this is done, the
humiliation of France will be
complete, and the lost opportu-
nifty will have passed from her
to restore to herself the pres
tige which she has enjoyed for
centuries, as power to be
feared or respected.

Thursday Morning, May 4, 1871.
Mr.. Bright's Speech.

Hon. John M. Bright de-
liyercd a speech at the court
house on Monday last, replete
with sound sense and wise sug-
gcstions. 1t was In accord
with the address of the Demo
cratic members of Congress,
which we will publishnext week.
lie said that the Democracy of
the North were making con-
tinual gains (; twenty Demo-
cratic Congressman were admit
ted recently to seats that had
been filled by Radicals. They
are making gallant effort for
our release from Radical thral-
dom, and every Southern excess,
every trespass of law, every
outrage styled Kuklux was pa
raded through Radical papers
as evidence of Southern unfit
ness for amnesty, and the efforts
of our friends, the Democracy
of the North, were rendered
unavailing in some instances by
infammatOry appeals based up
on alleged Southern outrages.
If there is q Democratic victo-
ny for the nation, it must come
through the Democracy of the
North, and he advised his hear
erS to aid them by respecting the
rights of all persons, by frown-
ing down all excuses and bring
ing offenders to justice, no mat
ter who they are, and by uphold
ing the majesty of the law; thus
proving to the world that we are
capable of self-government, and
that the charge of indiscretion
shall not be laid at our door.
The country has been gov
erned by the Radical party six
years. Are public revenues
wisely ordered and honestly ex-
pended (? Has an honest, eco
nomical, just administration of
our finances marked its history |?
Has it fostered the industry of
every section alike? Let every
citizen, who loves his country
and has an interest in her well
fare, ask himself the question !:
Have the acts of the Radical par
ty, taken as a whole for the past
six years, been such as to make
him desire to see it control the
country longer
Is liberty possible under its
domination ? Can public yir-
tue exist under its administra-
ton? Let the condition OF
the South answer the one, and
the scathing, deplorable corrup-
ton in Washington answer the
ether question.
If we would pass from under
this ploscriptive rule, We must
live in fraternal accord with |
those who are fighting our bat
ties for us. Mr.. Bright said
that when he returned to Con-
gress he would use his best eff
forts to stem the tide of fana-
ticism. andif nothing could be
done, he @would ring the bell as
the ship went down."
