A BAD OMEN.

The interference of The Administration
in behalf Of the usurpiug State Govern.
mcnts ia Alabama aud Louisiana is a very
poor beginning toward the reform pledged
to the country BY the Philadelphia Con
vention. 1t is indeed, poor augury for
Grants second term. All along assuran.
ces have been held out to the American
people by those who ought to know. that
il his next term the President would turn
over new leaf aud do better than he had
during his first term But from present
movements gu his part We have but little
hope Of seeing any better condition Of at
fairs than now exist VIII, Congress
and a President full Of hate, prejudice aud
ill.will toward the people Of the South, We
do not see how the oppressed people Of the
South can look for any better treatment
from the hands Of such men than they have
oil along, aud are row receiving. What
eyer lies in the power Of this corrupt and
usurpins Administration to degrade the
Southern people, will be used without re-
serve As an illustration the Congress
with its accustomed mcauncss, refused to
pay William and Mary Collcyeof Virginia
SCI, 900, for damage done the institution
during the war, wantonly and without
military authority or necessity, unless the
stockholders should throw open the Col
lego to negroes. What was this done for?
10 degrade tile people Of Virginia. Had
this claim been from Northern
State, no such demand would have been
made Of them. Oh, consistency
The same thing that llas teen done in
Alabama aud Louisiana, is urged by the
Radical press to be attempted 10 West
Virginia. The whole Radical press Of
this State are urging the present officers
Of the State to ress. the officers elected in
August last from taking their Offices at the
time prescribed BY law. And, we sup.
pose, that fthis advice is needed by the
present officers, the Grant dynasty will
recognize the usurpers, as he did those Of
Alabama aud Louisiana, aud fill our State
with soldiers.
