accomplishment of design which is to
place in the hands of the, Radical par
ty the expenditure of an immense
amount of money ; almost unlimited
patronage and a means of corruption
and fraud which for personal profit,
and political power would be equally
potential as the Freedman's Bureau
aided by the bayonet. 1 have refer

Of National education, by Which the
country, and the South especially, is
to- be flooded with Yankee school
books which for the most part breathe
lies, SANDER and moral poison and
Yankee teachers, who will be nothing
more than emissaries of the Radical
party This monstrous violation of
the rights of the people and States,
was boldly and ably opposed by Mfr,
MeNeely, OF Illinois The question
went over Its passage by the House
is not at all certain.
In the Senate, the mixing of the
whites and negroes in the public
schools of the District of Columbia,
was the subject of animated debate
The Senate not being directly respon-
sible to the people for their acts can,
with impunity, go further in their
encroachments on the peoples rights
and in opposition to their wishes, than
the House, and I-expect the mixing
of theraces in the schools ofythis Rad.
ical experimenting ground will be
consumated, and should the bill now
pending in the House be passed, the
mixing of the races in, the schools. all
over the country will be the next step
in this preconcerted Radical scheme.
From the amount of evidence which
is offered by the 3'truly loil' of the
south, ut so much per day and trav-
Cling expenses paid, the $40, 900 now
appropriated to pay the expenses will
not reach. The Committee on the
condition Of the South have now OK,

the outrages are in no way the result
of political sentiment, either one way
or the other. The fact that such out
RACES are committed will be sufficient
excuse for the Radicals to keep q
standing army in the South ostensibly
to preserve order, but as we too well
know to electioneet' with the bayouet
in the interest of Radicalism at the
bidding of their master Ulysses; as
all prefermentSnow-a-days in the army
comes only by subserviency to the be-
hests' of the Military Government at
Washington. -
The Carnival to take place here on
the goth and Dist of February will no
doubt attract a large number of visit
ors. The committee are sparing lei
Their money or effort to make this the
greatest jollification ever gotten up in
this country, and if possible to out
rival the carnivals of Italy. Three
immense triumphal arches are being
erected across the wide and magnif-
cent Pennsylvania Avenue, which is
to be the scene of the grand display.
The Tournament will be quite a fea-
ture Of the occasion, while the prize
drill by fine visiting volunteer regi-
mcnts will be very fine. The amuse-
ments each day will conclude with
masquerade and civic balls.
The bill repeating the test oath will
become a law without Ulysses putting
his "6st" to it, rs he is afraid of put
ting his foot in it, and by this means
he puts the responsibility on his
friends in Congress. 20
