fought to bring down Radico Fed eral ven

man enough to face his fate in tie I'M

fresh slardere. And now comes Logan,
yclept Judge, who hurries On to the Ma
tional Capital with the story that he IS
afraid to hold his Courts, on account OF
threatening letters which he has received.
In the hey-d4y OF Radical power, these
men were valiant eDongh to oppress and

The Senate amendment giving the Gov
eanment the power of coming down with
a military posse co1nifat"s upon whole
States and counties, as well as individuals,
without stint or restraint, for indemnity,
whenever perjurers saw lit to ailege an
outrage, was modified. Some of the more
conscientious could not go this wholesale
contscation without any color Of law OF
equity. But the modification, accord
ing to Senator Edmunds, is just as effica

Adjournment OF Congress

The whole country, the Soutn espCclaIly'
will receive the announcement that CON
gross has adjourned with sincere gratifca-
ton. As harsh and despotic as has been
the legislation of the past few weeks, prob
ably the country is to be congratulated
that it is no worse. AS we expected moth
ing better, We are not disappointed, at
least. 90 ....rsH- .-.-

civil war which yet reverberate through
those halls-the dying embers of fires kim

But the political earthquake which

rial representations Of Ohio, New Jersey,

The modified tone Of the leading Re
publicans of the House, and the conser
vative influences which, in a measure, con
troll the majority, are the first ''steps back

in compelling the latter body to modify

passed the amnesty bill Without serious
opposition, almost without division. In
many ways it has shown a more equitable
disposition in regard to reconstruction and
the South. and We predict that after New
York, Pennsy lgania. Illinois and Indiana
have spoken in the Fall, that the Presi--
dent will have neither the influence nor the
power to blind them to the "hand- writing
