The Mobile Register, edited by Hon.
John Forsyth, which, till recently, de-

pledge itself against tho amendments and
proclaim movement for their overthrew,
is now disposed to take a different view
Of the matter, and the Register indorses
the Montgomery county resolutions,
which recognizes the amendments, aud
pledges aquiescence in them. 1t is due
to tho Register to say that it has not
changed its own opinion Of the amend.

the weight Of Democratic sentiment is

to yield to that sentiment, and cease to

A Little Rock (Ark. telegram of the
l4th says that a few days ago a man
entered tho town of Russsllville, Pope
county, and fred several shots contrary
to the municipal ordinance forbidding
shooting inside the city limits. The
marshal attempted to arrest him, but he
resisted the officer, and got on bis horse
and left town. The marshal summoued
a posse and star ted after him. Being
overtakeu be drew two pistols and fred
at the marshal, the ball grazing his head,
when the posse fred and killed him
The marshal and party gave themselves
up, and were tried and acquitted. The
man killed was Republican.
A few days afterwards a company Of
negroes and white Radicals came to
town, threatening to kill the marshal and
all connected with the affair. A. collision
was only prevented by the prompt action
of the sheriff, who finally succeeded in
restoring order.
Will some Of the advocates of the
Grant party inform us whether these are
the ku kluxes they have been making 90
much fuss about?

Talk about "desd issues" Correct
principles never die. They may slumber,
but they are sure to rise ono of these
days, and make themselves known. To
accept any principle Of government as an
unchangeable feature is absurd. What
do we Of the present know of the wants
OF the generations hundred years to
come. Hence we may accept the
Amendments" to-day; while in a few
years the people may see proper to
change them iu accordance with the pro
visions of tho constitution. Then the
cries Of some Of the Radical papers that
the Democracy do not intend to conform
to the Thirteeuth, Fourteenth and Fif.
teenth amendments should it obtain the
control of the government amounts to
nothing. In q republic the majority
rules; if the majority see fit TO make
any change, SO it is done in accordance
with acknowledged usagss, they may do
90, and it" right that they should. In
this it will be seen that the Democrats
want the people to govern the Radicals
want all the obnoxious laws that now
indict the country % obtsia eves sgaiuss

Now that the KukRz committee has
failed to gain any evidence Of organized

try to make it appear that they did exist,

Is, the Radicals have tried to make polt.
