IT took the Gallatin Convention exactly
sixteen hours to discover that there was no
use for convention, anyhow.-BGnner.
If the present sad situation should hold
out, it will take the people of the district
only about three weeks to learn that, for
want Of convention or some other means
of securing concentrated action, Radical
Congressman will have been elected from
this capital district of the State. Although
no Radical candidate is yet announced, we
know our enemies are SO thoroughly organ
lied and drilled that three days before the
election would suffice to marshal their
forces in solid phalanx from one end Of the
district TO the other. They are no doubt
already training for the coup d'etat, If three
or more candidates should divide our peo-
pie. Some might be pleased at such an up
shot of Democratic dissen sions, but we are
not of the number; and the vast majority
of the people are with US in our earnest
wish for that harmony which the Banner
delights to ridicule.

WHEN Mr.. Beck, the fearless Democratic
Representative from KENTUCKY, asserted
that the Grant administration had used
Federal funds for election eering purposes in
North Carolins, he was denounced as a fall
sifer of the record by all the Radical press
es and orators in the country. But these
batteries are now silenced by circular
from Mr.. Jones, Acting Comptroller of the
Treasury, which declares that the appro-
priation for Federal Court expenses has
been exhausted, and that no more accounts
against that fund will be paid until a new
appropriation is made! He admits that
some of the United States Marshals drew
more than they needed, and we know that
the North Carolina Marshal drew over
100000 for district wherein the highest
range ofexpenses heretofore has not ex-
ceeded $4,000. Is it not about time to
have an investigation of the books?

THE Ku-Klux act Of Congress gives alb
solute power into the hands Of the Presi-

Language of the act is, SIT shall be LAWFUL
for the President TO take such measures,
by the employment of the militia or the
land and naval forces of the United States,
or of either, or other means, as BE mag
deem necessary" etc. Did either Of the
two Nspoleons, or any other man int

betrayed people had placed supreme au-
thority, ever havO more unlimited, more

THE Cincinnati Commercial has this ex-
PLANTATION in regard to the recent elections
in Indiana and Ohio:
"After all, Hendricks ran far enough
ahead of his ticket to beat even the shack
Countess The reason for his success is
not SO much his personal popularity as the
identity established in the public estima-
ton between bis candidacy and that Of
Greeley. The fact could not be lodged that
q vote for Hendricks was q vote for Gree
ley, and the result shows that Greeley's
strength was greater than that Of any other
candidate in Indiana. There are symp-
toms of Greeley's superior strength In Ohio.
In this county, for instance, it is clear that
about four hundred Republicans who
would not vote Democratic ticket, voted
for Wiley in consequence Of the suggestion
that the vote for him should be made and
accepted as test of Greeley's strength"

a New York special states that Mr..
Greeley said, in conversation last week
that if the Liberals should carry either In
diana, Ohio or Pennsylvania, this week
he would be elected. The Tribune contin-
ues to claim that, including Indiana
Greeley is sure of one hundred and sew
enty-eight electoral votes, and viii be sue
cessful, if in November he secures six more
electoral votes from the uncertain States
of New Hampshire, California, Illinois
Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina

TIE wORKIxG OF RADICAL LAW.

THE WORKING OF RADICAL LAW.
A recent case in Alabama shows how the
legislation of Congress has been contrived
to enable irresponsible parties to annoy the
Southern people. Judge Thomas w. Price,
of Wilcox county, had been arrested and
was arrsigned on the Sth inst. before the
United States Commissioner at Mobile,
charged with violating the enforcement act
of Congress. The charge was made by one
@. j. Atkinson, that at an election in Viii
cox county on the 9TH Of February, 1872,
Judge Price, by threats and intimidation,
refused to allow the election polls to be
opened In the town of Clifton" s'thereby
hlndering the voters Of said precinct from
exercising the right Of suffrage secured by
the act Of Congress" 1t appeared on the
trial that Atkinson is an iduerant school
master, that be was not present at the time
of the election, and that he was not even
known to the witnesses. He was evidently
the tool of somebody else. The witnesses,
six IN number, and who are negroes,
testified that the polls were not
opened until o'clock in the af-
ternoon, owing to the refusal of one of
The inspectors to serve; that Judge Price,
who was a candidate for Judge of the
court of quarter sessions, was there pres
ent in the morning, but LEFT some time be-
fore the polls were opened, and did not
return. This was the gist of the whole
matter, magnifed by the fancies and fears
Of the negroes into huge conspiracy to
deprive them of their inestimable right of
suffrage. 1t was, doubtless, "put-up job"
One of the negro witnesses said that "we
black men had talked the matter over"
and it was evident from their testimony
that they had. The Judge was Of course
discharged, but this incident shows the
| power which the enforcement act gives to
a mean-spirited, irresponsible party like
Atkinson, to have men arrested and drag
ged from their homes to defend themselves
against charges which have no foundation
whatever. This is feature which every
man votes to perpetuate who votes for
Grant.
