Things in alabama.

One of the most infamous at
tempts to overthrow law, defeat
Justice, and thwart the will of the
people, has just been perpetrated IN
Alabama. The members elect from
Barbour and Marengo counties have
been arrested under the Enforce
ment Act, under the pretext that
they interfered with the purity OF
the ballot box, or inundated voters
at the recent election.
The real cause of their arrest is
to give the Radicals a majority in
the legislature of that State. which
convened last Monday, and thus to
re elect Spencer, the carpet-bagger,
to the U. S. Senate, and commit
every other species of fraud and
outrage upon the people Of Alaba-
ma. There are two legislatures now
in session at Montgomery, and the
commonwealth is really in state
of anarchy and revolution.
But the people of Alabama art
themselves responsible for this STATE
of things. They should have gone
to the polls and elected their Con.
SCI vative State ticket, aud an over
whelming majority of the legisIa-
ture, which they could easily have
done. They will probably pay the
penalty of their own apathy and in
difference by being compelled to
submit to usurpatiOns and fraud OF
every kind.
The significance of the word
4" Alabama 7-ss Here let US rest y

%T The most melancholy result
OF the late election is the loss of AL
ALBANIA, which was rescued from
Radical rule and spoiliation year
ago, and was thoroughly Democrat.
ic- The Radicals have elected their
entire State ticket, two Congress
men for the State at large, and a
large majority of Representatives
from the districts. We are indebt-
ell to the Liberal movement for
this disastrous defeat in Alabama.
In Tennessee, also, we have lost in
c:,lcuIably. Maynard is elected Con-
gresham at large, a majority of
the districts are Radical and the
legislature, Which was largely Dem
ocratic two years ago, is also Radi-
cal. Fortunately, however. the cleo
ton for Senator in Congress does
not take place until 1875, and by
that time it is hoped that Democ-
racy will either have reclaimed the
State, or that old Brownlow may
be " dead, id and discharged"
For this defeat in Tennessee we
are indebted to the Generalization
produced by the Liberal movement,
and the whole army of demagogui-
cal office-seekers, headed by Andy
johnson, the champion demagogue
of the United States. One good
result is, and which the defeated
must find some consolation, and
that is, that the said A. j. is now
as dead as Hector. We have no
idea, however, that he will keep still.
Like the tail of a snake that is kill
ed after shutdown, he will still
squirm and wriggle about.

How it Was.

The newspapers are full of vari-
GUS reasons to account for the Grant
food. The New York World has
laid out q weeks work for itself in
this business. For our part, we
have not much use for spilled milk.
Let the ground drink it up, we can
be better employed. But for fun's
sake we must give our readers our
explanation. The Rome (Ga.) Com
mercial furnishes it in the shape of
letter from Bill Arp" Who has
recently taken charge of that paper.
We extract a part of the letter, and
leave it to speak for itself, only re-
marking that Mrs. Arp is entitled
to the first position in the political
government of the Arp family:
Baltimore Convention, and o.
Conor, and Alex Stevens, and a
limited supply of votes has beat us.
Well, we still live. Pm not goin

E%The New York Herald make.

~Ih0 New York HerGtd makes
a tremendous cutlery over the fact
that an English steamer arrived at
Constantlnople the other day, with
twenty slaves on board, who had
been brought from TIipoli by way
of Malta. A brisk slave trade, it is
said, is thus carried on and that
"such a trade Is possible in Eu-
rope at this late age of the worlds
history T" the Herald thinks is sim
ply disgraceful, and respectfully
dishonOring to England" because,
forsOotb, steamer owned by En-
glishmen takes these slaves with
their owners as passengers. The
American thundprer goes on to full
inmate that, if upon investigation,
it is found that the Importation
of slaves from Africa is necessary
to the social life of Turkey, the
sooner the Turks pack up and re-
cross the BOsphOrus the better for
themselves" All of which coming
from the Herald, is demagOguical
bOsh, pure and simple. 1t has not
been many years since that journal
entertained totally different views,
and spoke of slavery and the slave
trade in a strain of purely Mephis-
topheiian indifference if not apollo
getically. How long has it been
since the Herald quoted Scripture,
to show that slavery, especially In
Oriental countries, was divincly re-
cOgnized and permitted, as "neces-
sary to social life in those lands?
Certainly, not over twelve or fif
teen years ago, the Herald used to
talk about slavery in our Southern
States, in a way that prompted the
Tribune, and other abolition papers
to call it "the Satanic Organ."-

Insurance..

The two great fires of Chicago and
Boston, which have served to make
the year 1872, remarkable in history,
are suggestive of more than the
mere consideration of the intiamm ma
bility of mansard roofs, the effect of
gunpowder explosions, &C., in stop
ping a fire. This young and grow
ing nation is ahead of all other ma
tiOns in insurance as well as in ev
cry thing else that pertains to the
progress of the word. Insurance
has become legitimate part of bu-
siness transactions in every civilized
country and American companies
have taken the lead thus far. Now,
the two late fires are calculated to
try their surength.-ThOse cOmpa-
MES which passed the ordeal of the
Chicago conflagIa ton became uni
versally popular. What is the con-
sequence. The Boston disaster
comes upon them and the majority
will have to suspend. Honest hard
working business men, who have
struggled for life time to lay up a
support for old age, find their pro-
perty swept away An a few hours,
and when they turn to insurance
companies which they have helped
to sustain, they find capital and
promises as delusive as II dream,
and worthless as the ashes that
mark the spot where there stores
once stood. The inevitable coDclu-
sion is that in the prosecution of
insurance we are unwisely FAST"
as in everything else. There is too
much fiction about our lives polit
ically, financially and socially
Right now, immediately, is a good
time to take hold of the matter, SO
far as insurance companies are con-
cerned and to make an effort to force
these corporations into responsible
ity by State laws, holding each
stakeholder individually responsible
for the amount of stock he has sub
scribed. This is the only way in
which to check growing evil and
to give life and vitality to fire in
surance, the greatest public bene-
faction on earth, when shielded from
abuse by proper laws.-Meridtan
