and before Its close they met ut the house OF Paul

old quarrel was renewed ana all that friends could
do falled to bring harmony. Efforts were made to
separate the two, but these only served to Increase
their luminosity for each other and inname their
desires for revenge. Finding that those present

Suspending the Great Writ.

Under the above heading we fine
in a late number of the Washingtol
Patri0t IN able article Of which VIZ
are only able to give the three con
Guiding paragraphs. They speak for
themselves, and are as follows -
When the Ku-Klux bill was under
debate, and objection was urged
against the clause to suspend the
hobeaS corp'ss, the Presidents part
sans pretended that it was but tenn
porary measure, and would be limited
in duration to the present session.
We had no faith in those assurances
at the time, and warned Congress
against an ill-disguised deception.
And now, when the act is about to ex-
pire, the justice Of our distrust is fully
vindicated by events.
The Radical majority of the Com
mittec on Alleged Outrages in the
Southern States, close their extraor
binary report with two recommends
tons, which are wholly inconsistent
with each other, viz. amnesty, and
the extension Of the Ku-lluX bill I'M
til the expiration Of the present Con
gress. While n liberal policy is par
AIDED in one measure, a war of eXter-
mination is proclaimed by the other
The whole country is now at peace, so
far as any questions relating to the
civil war are concerned. The people
have accepted its results in good faith
ane and striving honestly to repair
their losses. No sign of hostility is
manifested in any quarter, and the
two races are quietly working out the
problem resulting from sudden cman-
cipation, by obedience to natural laws,
Yet, in the midst of all this tranquil
ty, and without the slightest provoca-
ton of any kind, it is now proposed
to continue this power in the hands Of
the President, and ON the eve Of an
exciting election, in which he is to be
candidate, to authorize him to make
proclamation as he did recently in
South Carolina; to distribute troops
at his selfish will, and to suspend the
habeas corpus.
MonstrouS as was the usurpation a
year ago, when this scheme was
Matched from wicked brain, the at
tempt to revive and extend it now, on
the eve of the Presidential canvass,
and plainly in the interest Of General
Grant, would be crime Of appalling
magnitude. 1t serves notice that Fed
eral bayonets are to be employed to
overawe independent opinion, and that
opposition to this corrupt AdminiStra-
ton, is to be crushed out by the
tyranny Of mart, law We hope the
Republican majority in both branches
of Congress, will pause long and re-
fleet seriously before venturing upon
this critical experiment. The public
mind is in no temper for more trials to
its patience and forbearance. And we
warn those who may be disposed to
make them, that there is reaction
rising throughout this land, that will
soon sweep away every yestige Of the
military despotism, which the Presi-
dent and 4 servile Congress are seek
ing to impose upon the country.

A Trick that Amounts TO a Crime.

One of the late tricks Of Congress
was t. reduce the duty on tea and cof-
fee. These Sfallow-pated fellows must
look upon the people rs set Of uum.
skulls to think for II moment that such
n trick MS thus will answer. The duty
OH tea and coffee did not amount to
much. at least not enough to make it Il
very heavy burlhcn, bul it has a popu-
lar look because those articles are uni
verSaly used,
The trick played by Democratic and
Republican members was TO fool the
people into the belief that they were
to be relieved but having taken so
much out Of the revenue the excuse
becomes very strong for not relieving
the people from heavier taxes on
monopoly-protcctcd articles.
In proportion as national i1comc is
lesSencd by the fiction ofreduclion on
tea and coffee, so is the tax kept on
other articles, and the people, relieved
Of II feather which they could see, are
crushed with IL burlhen which they
cannot see, but which they feel in every
fiber Of their bodies, aud in all their
pursuits.
This hucksrering legislation is a
crime, and proves what has been as
serted II hundred times that no people
were ever so badly ruled as is the
people of the disunited States.
