Mr.. sTUBBs, one OF the most gallant sup
porters of the bill, moved reconsidera-

the gentlemen on the other eide to have a
hearing, and was opposed to anything like
gag law. He then proceeded to explain
his vote. ~
Mr.. Woop attempted to rule the speaker
out by point OF order, but the Chair de-
clded that he could proceed, and he did SO

Ben Butler and Morton of lndi-
ana desire to prolong the session OF
Congress in order to pass "ku-
Klux" bill. The object of such a
bill is to put down the voters at the
South, and place the elections at
the dictation of Grant aud his com
manders. The President desires to
prolong the session in order to get
San Domingo in. The Jealous eff
forts Of the Radical party to increase
the stock Of negroes in this country,

white people, are prominently appa-

STUDY THE THINGS THAT MAKE
FOR PEACE


tears the affecting scenes daily re
ported from France, as attendan
upon the receipt of wholesome anC
relishing food by those afflicted PEG
pie. Thousands Of wounded sol
diers, invalids, and sick children
have been snatched from the very
jaws of death by the timely receipt
of fresh provisions. Almost count
less households are thrown into
transports of joy and gratitude by
the receipt of a small supply of food
perhaps inferior to that which a few
months ago they were accustomed to
buy daily in the markets Of that then
abundant and luxurious country,
without a serious thoughtofthe value
of their purchases, or an emotion of
gratitude for the bounties Of Provi-
dence.
These scenes tell us as eloquently
what France has lost and suffered
BY this foolish and causeless war, as
the terrible list of the manned and
sIaughtered-the awful devastation
of smiling country, adorned and
enriched by the intelligent labor of
centuries, and the dreadful incubus
of debt piled up as mortgage upon
the labor of present and future gen
erations. O, what a terrible price
France has paid for an unsuccessful
attempt to crafty national animosi-
ty and military ambition
Can people or politicians reflect
upon this lesson of calamity and suf-
fering and not lay its moral deep to
heart Who shall measure the
criminality of the man or people who
let loose the devilioh passions and
enginery of war upon prosperous
countries, and inhict such number
less and incomprehensible woes upor

OUR DANGER.

The Macon Telegraph d Messea
ger says:
1--WE are perfectly willing to re.
nit the present untimely and I'M
seemly discussion of issues that can
not be passed upon until 1872 tC
that convention, and we shall abide
its decision. But we are not willing
nor will we permit.it without re-
buke-to have ourselves and those
who think with us denounced as no
better than a Radical because we
express sentiments and avow convic-
tions that are entertained by nine
teenths of the Democrats of the I'm
ion."
We did not know that our able
cotemporary classed itself with the
"accept the situation democrats"
and trust that such is not the i'm
preston it intended to convey. We,
also, expect to abide the decision Of
the National Dem ocratic Convention
on all great issues; but the differ
ence seems to be that the JOURNAL,
NewS, and other papers, are unwlll-
ing to advocate in advance an ac-
ceptance of the situation and the ex-
pediency Of expunging from the
national democratic platform the
declaration that the reconstruction
measures Of Congress are ''uncon-
stitutional, null and void" For the
Convention to do this may be expe-
dent. 1t may be most prudent
then to ignore the only vital issues
between democracy and radicalism
in order to secure success and men
of principle may hope from the char
acter of democracy that when sue
cess is attained the Constitution will
be restored.
But our danger lies in this; that
if the democracy accept radical us
urpation and disregard violated
Constitution if it does not boldly
condemn the one and aim to restore
the other, the friends Of Constitution
al liberty have no party left which
gives assurance of battling il
their behalf; no party left which
does not give countenance to usur
patton; no party left which doe
not urge the country forward to
centralized despotism. Accept tn
situation" and you abandon Consti
tutional liberty aud in no sense cal
you be regarded as better than
radical even though success be Tia
reward Of your policy. Hence W.
hope that the democracy will no
expungo the only distinctive princi
pie in its platform and hence we Dc
not pretermit expression of opinion
now. When the decision is made
if it should involve an end of al
Constitutional issues it will be time
enough to be silent.
