leaving the King but IL majority in the Cor
tes. If the Republicans, Conservatives and
Carlists can effect q combination and unite
permanently on any given policy, it may not
be long till Amadeus will find himself in the
hottest Of wafer. The lS5 Government men,
bers are said to contain 20 Democrats and As
Unionists. That is, 20 who are not in favor
OF the divine right" Of kings, and As who
would rather support a King from Portugal
than one from Italy. How long such members
can be counted on to support the new King,
who gives out no signs of genius for affairs, is
serious question. They will probably desert
him at the first appearance Of declining popu-
la ~ or ministerial weakness. And when
that time comes Castelar's motion will be in
order whatever disposition may be made Of it
for the present.

A CURIOUS "war claim" was decided
adversely by the Military Committee of
the House of Representatives a few days
ago. Miss A. E. Carroll, of Baltimore,
who claims to be descendant of Charles
Carroll, of CarrOlltOn, one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, pc
titioned Congress to pay her for extraor-
binary services rendered during the war
She states that in November, 1861, while
the Mississippi River Expedition was pre-
pairing, she wrote and submitted to
Thomas A. Scott, then Assistant Secretary
of War, paper showing that the true
way to attack the rebellion" in the West
was, not by the Mississippi river, but by
he Tennessee river; that her plan was
adopted, and that the Tennessee river
campaign, the capture of Fort Donelson,
and all the subsequent movements and
successes in that section were the direct
results. She produced q copy of the
original paper referred TO, which shows
much ssgacity and strategic knowledge,
but is little more than general argument
in favor of an advance up the Tennessee.
The committee did not think they would
be warranted in proposing an sppropria-
ton for Miss Carroll's benefit, although
they thought that in the future, when
women's rights are fully acknowledged,
her military talents may be acknowledged
by Major Generals commission.

AFFAIRS IN THE SOUTH-RADI.
CAL TESTIMONY.

| On the 18th of January, in response to
a resolution of the Senate-of which reso-
luton Mr.. Morton, of Indiana, is the
suthor-the President of the United States
transmitted TO that body the following
message: ... ....
'In reply to the resolution of the Sen
ate of the 10th of December, 1870, re-
questing to be furnished with information
relative TO the organization of disloyal
persons in North Carolina, having in view
resistance TO the United States laws, de-
NAL of protection and the enjoyment of
the rights and liberties secured under the
United States, ETC., | transmit herewith
abstracts of reports and other papers on
file in the War Department relative to
Outrages in North Carolina; and, also, for
the information of the Senate, those rela-
tive to Outrages in other Southern States.
The original reports and papers are too
vOluminous to be copied in season to be
used by the present Congress, but are
easily accessible for reference, and copies
of such papers can be furnished as the
Senate may deem necessary"
1t will be remarked that, although
the resolution of inquiry was exclu-
sively directed to North Carolina in
terms, the President saw fit TO include
other States in his reply, for the evident
purpose of stimulating the agitation. And
instead of communicating the actual re-
ports relating to these pretended "out-
RACES, he has only furnished abstracts"
made by partial hands, which extend
back nearly six years, and revive the old
ISLANDERS and fabrications with which the
country is already too familiar.
The most complete answer that can be
made to the wicked efforts of Grant.
Morton, Nye, and other reckless disturb
ers of the public peace and harmony, is
to he found in recent public declarations
from the Radical Governors of nearly al,
the Southern States. If such witnesses
are to be believed, those reckless mischief
makers first alluded TO have not a par
ticle of ground for their renewed war
upon the Southern people. We annex
some extracts, which should be read out
in open Senate just after the report of
Morton's Special Ku-Klux Committee, to
the utter confusion of the conspirators.
NORTH CAROLINA.
AS the information SCALED for was in
regard TO the condition of North Carolina,
we submit for their consideration the tes-
timony of Governor Holden. 1t is taken
from his recent message to the Legsla-
ture of that State, now in session, and
reads as follows:
''We have cause TO be thankful to
Almighty God, the Giver of every good
and perfect gift, for the abundant har
vests of the year now closing, and for
the general peace and quiet now prevail
ing throughout the State. Scarcity of
the means to support life is no longer
felt. All our people who labor can have
their daily bread, and many are retriey-
ing and rebuilding the fortunes which
were lost or impaired during the late war.

THE DIFFERENCE


Hugh Hastings, editor of the New
York Commercial advertiser, mas
withdrawn his suit against the New York
Express for libel. 1t will be remember
ed that Hastings charged Hon. James
Brooks, one of the editors of the Err
press, with having enriched himself by
corruption by and through his position
SIS member of Congress. Mr.. Brooks
called the attention of the House of Re
representatives. to this charge, and COM
mittee was appointed TO investigate the
mstter st his earnest request. Hastings
was summoned before the committee,
but he refused to answer the committees
questions on the ground of the tendency
Of the libel suit. The committee could
not, or at least did not, force Hastings
10 answer the questions put to him, but
they reported generating Mr.. Brooks.
and now Hastings withdIaws his libel
suit. A few months ago q citizen of
Richmond pummeled the carpet Dagger
who represents that district in Congress,
and at the instance of that member
this pugnaciOus citizen was brought be
fore the bar of the House, tried and con-
victed of an assault on the person of a
member of Congress, and sentenced to
three months Imprisonment in the Jail of
the District of Columbia. In the one in
stance the person of Radical member of
Congress is assaulted-perhaps his coun-
tensnce was somewhat disfgured by the
well-deSlt blows of his autagonists-snd
he is imprisoned by the fiat of the body
of which this Radical carpet Dagger is a
member for this outrage upon the dignity
of a member of Congress. In the other,
a Radical editor assaults the reputation,
the honor of Democratic member of
Congress, and when he is hauled up for
this outrage, more gross and infamous
than that committed upon the Radical
carpet Dagger, he refuses to make good
his charges or even 10 testify before the
Committee of Investigation, and he is dis
charged without reprimand, TO throw his
slime upon some other Democratic mem
Der of Congress-.

TIE Cincinnati Gazette says: The
number 81 seems to be fortunate one
for the German armies. On the 9th of
September Strasbourg capitulsted. On
the 9th of October Metz surrendered.
On the 9th of November the Prussians
achieved important victories over the
Army of the Loire and the Garibaldisn
forces in the Department of the Vosges.
On the 9th of December commenced the
bombardment of Mont AvroD, the first of
the Partisan forts assailed, and which
soop yielded to the enemy. And now
comes the intelligence that on the 9th of
January the terms of the cspitulation of
Paris were agreed upon. If, now, after
the three weeks armistice which has Leen
arranged, the treaty of peace should be
concluded on the 9th of February, as ia
not improbable, the chain would be COM
plete. Verify, if this was superstitious
age, the Germans might be expected TO
commence all their important enterprises
on The 9th of the month. The coinci-
dence is, to say the least, remarkable and
noteworthy.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says there
would have been some very rich disclos-
ures as to the money and what was done
with it, which the Eastern manufacturers
sent TO the third Ohio district last fall to
elect Gen. Schenck, who put through the
tariff they wanted at the last session, if
the contest against Gen. L. d. Campbell
had been continued. 1t was to arrest this
damaging scandal, adds the Enquirer,
that induced the leading Republicans in
Montgomery county TO stop the whole
business, and not the reason which they
publicly assigned for it.

Gou. Bullock, of Georgia, in letter to
"a prominent Democrat" dated Jan. z,
bssys:
"The election held on the goth, 2lst
and 22d of December last, taken as q
whole, was as near q peaceful, fair, and
unbiased expression of public opinion
and preference through the ballot box as
il is possible to have had in this State at
this time. So far as my knowledge ex-
tends, there was not 3 voting precinct in
the State where votes were objected to,
either by the managers or by partisan
leaders, on the ground that the persons
offering to vote were colored. All par
ties and all citizens freely concede the
right of the black man TO the ballot, but
1t cannot and l presume will not, be de-
MED that in many cases improper and I'M
lawful means were exercised TO compel
tho colOred citizen to cast ballots of diff
ferent character from those cast by a ma
joIity of his race, and in opposition to
his own preferences; but we cannot
expect TO prove an exception to
the natural effect of partisan ambi-
ton. The great contest in this and other
Southern States has been to secure uni
versal admission of and scquiescence in
the right of the colOred man to vote, and
this seems to have been fully gained in
Georgia. The question of how or for
whom the colored man shall vote is sec
ondary and local. Irepest, that the con-
test has been to secure, from the people
of our State, 8 universal admission of or
acquiescence in the right of the colored
man to civil and political privileges, and,
in the instance of the late election, no
sane man will deny that this desirable re-
suit has been accomplished. To be sure
there have been exceptional cases in parts
of the State where this right has not
been fully accorded, but the number is
comparatively inconslderable and should
not be allowed TO prejudice judgment
in favor of the State as WHOLE
With this testimony of five Radical
Governors in the South before them, how
utterly destitute of truth and all sense of
shame must have been the Senate of the
United States when it made proclamation
of anarchy and outrage in the South, and
organized special committee, at a first
cost of forty thousand dollars, to investi
gate and report upon the condition of the
South. The dishonest and disorganizing
motive of the proceeding is too palpaple
to require one word of comment.

Gov. Scott, of South Carolina, in rep,y
to resolution asking why he does not
order out the militia, says in message of
Jan. Is:
81 cannot say with truth, upon any in
formation in my possession, that in any
section of the State the laws are not exc
cuted, for not single case has been re-
ported in which the officers of the law
have been resisted in the discharge of
their duties. There is no invasion which
| am called on to repel, no instruction
which am called on to suppress. =
l cannot bring myself to contemplate the
use of an armed force to punish individ-
ual violations of the law in q time
of profound peace. Such remedy would
be as bad as the disease, and would
be public declaration that there was no
civil government in South Carolina, and
that we are living in a condition of social
anarchy. | would call your
attention TO the fact that all the cases of
reported violence are individual violations
of the law; that none of thtm have as
sumed the character of public combins-
tons against the law; and that they are ell
within the regular jurisdiction of the
criminal courts of the country"
