A GENTLEMAN from another State,
stopped in Louisville, KY, one day
last week to transact some business,
when he was arrested by a police
man and forcibly dragged to doc
tors shop and vaccinated. The
stranger begged, plead and struggled
to prevent the operation, but to no
avail. Not only was this sanitary
operation performed, but he was then
led to the City Court and fined five
dollars for resisting the officer, and
disorderly conduct. The policeman
claimed to have been complying
with an ordinance of the city which
makes vaccination a compulsory
matter, with alll who resides in the
corporation. But the policemen
ought to know that the ordinance
can not be enforced when the party
is a stranger, native of another
State, and stopping only for a day
and especially when there is no cpl
demic in the city. Any officer so
acting makes himself liable to a good
deal of expense and trouble, and if
such officer may be considered an
agent for the corporation, said city
makes itself liable to stand q suit for
damages.

The House of Representatives has
passed bill appropriating' $50, 0OC
to defray the expenses of the Japan
csc embassy to the United States,
This is a nonsensical piece Of extrav-
agance. Friendly and intimate rela-
tons between the two countries are
very desirable, it is true and as they
gradually adopt our arts, sciences
and literature, our trade with them
will become more valuable, but we
believe this is piece of profligate
extravaganza that merits condemna-
ton. The government of Japan
pays some of her highest officials the
enormous sum of a million ofdollars
year for their services. Surely she
is able to pay the travelling expenses
of her embassy. This transaction
shows that our Radical Congress are
never 10th to make appropriations Of
the public money for the benefit Of
any people who have got color.

SEVERAL of our exchanges have
published an account Of q difficulty
that occurred between Gen. DABNEY
H. MAURY and q sleeping car con-
duetor, TR1cE, the man who started
the slanderous reports on Mr.. DAv-
Is, last fall, in which they do him Sc
we're injustice, inasmuch Is they rep
resent him as making an assault on
the conductor. Below we publish
Gen. MAURY's letter, which we be-
ieve is as true as holy writ, address
ed to Major WIcKs, president of the
Memphis and Charleston road.
Herei is the letter:
DEAR sir: Last night arrived in
in Chattanooga, by the train from
Virginia, having been since Sunday
week travelling almost daily. l there
fore went into the sleeping car at
Chattanooga to secure some hours of
rest. The conductor of the sleeping
car met me and politely informed me
that any of the berths would be at
my service, as he had no other pas
senger. l laid my travelling bag and
shawl upon seat, and fell into CIV
il chat with the conductor, during
which he informed me he was from
Louisa county, Virginia, the adjoin-
ing one to my own. l asked him
his name. He said his name was
TRIcE. ] turned from him, and with.
out word took up my valise and
shawl and went out of the sleeping
car into the one in front.
l had been in that car about five
or ten minutes, when 1 missed the
cape from my over coat; aud think
ing might have left it in the restau-
rant of the depot, went hastily in and
asked the proprietor if had left my
cape there. He told me NO. l then
went into the sleeping car to look for
it, and found it in the seat where
had placed it. / took it up and was
on my way out Ofthe car when the
same conductor confronted me and
said to this effect: You left this car
very abruptly just dow, sir +; why did
you do it?" His manner was aggres
sive. l replied: because, sir, chose
to do So" and then, with coarse Ian
guage and insolent manner, he de-
handed again my reasons. l replied :
81 left the car because you are the
author of a scandal upon the South
ern people," He them ran to the
stove, took up an iron poker about
eighteen inches long, and can g
quickly up to me with it, denouncipg
aud threatening me with violent and
foul terms, until / had reached the
door Of the sleeping car, when, Just
as l stepped out upon the platform
of the car, he suddenly caught me
around the neck, with :he arm hold
ing his lantern, threw me down up
on the platform and struck me rsO-
idly andviolently on the back of my
head with the poker. He inflicted
several cuts upon my arms before
he was prevented by Mr.. Peck, the
brakesnan, from further violence.

nor anywhere within reach, and hav-

in the South are built upon the wf0ng
end, and must inevitably topple over.
Governmental, like mechanical fab
relations, must be built up on broad,
sound foundations, or they will not
be able to stand when political
storms dash against them. In the
South the pyramid is upon its apex,
not upon its base. The local gov
ernments are built upon the vice, ig-
norance, the InsubstaLtial and ir-
responsible elements of society. The
laws are made and administered BY
negroes, the very offspring of igno-
rance and superstition, scalawags
and political trimmers, by the offal
and unprincipled of every State in
the Union. Men whose very degre.
dation and corruption make them
hostile to every southern interest,
where that interest effects the intel
iigent and good men of the country.
| Every tree brings forth fruit after
its own kind. A system that places
the reins of authority in the hands
of the most ignorant and vicious
class of the human family, cannot
but be prolific of discord, anarchy
and misrule. The Radical recon-
struction sy stem has made the South
aplace of high carnival for corrupt
adventures of every race, from all
quarters of the world. The fruits OF
this system are cropping out in more
than one of the Southern States.
Louisiana, a member of the American
Union, in a time of profound peace,
has been trying for month to con.
vene her Legislature without success.
The scenes lately beheld in the great
Crescent city, the metropolis and
pride. of the Creole State, would be
a disgrace 10 Havana or Mexico.
Yet our authorities are very reluc-
tant in taking any cOgnizance of it
whatever. In Chicot county, A. X
snsas, just three weeks ago, State
Senator, negro, led a mob Of ne
groes to the Jail, took out three white
men, against two of whom there
| were no charges, and murdered them
in the streets, in the broad open day
| light. corfiscated their property, and
drove innocent and unoffending Cit
liens from their homes, then plum
dered them; declared martial law
and would not allow any one to pass
in or out of the town without pass
rom him. This ursurpation ofpow-
er by individuals is known at the
Capital, yet no Nemesis has yet been
sent to administer retributive justice
10 the offenders; no arm has been
stretched out from the Executive
Mansion to still the troubled waters,
and up to this good hour the people of
Chicot county are exposed 10 the
mercy of savage negroes, who dec
lare they intend to drive the whites
out of the county. The infamies of
The Holden clique, in North Carroll
ma are still vivid in the minds of the
people. The election frauds in Tex
as, last fall, are reproach to republic
| can institutions; while the debts
of all the Southern States have been
increased six fold. These, and more
evils than we can name, are the re-
suits of Radical reconstruction in the
South, and a mistaken policy ofplac-
ing pow or in the hands of corrupt,
ignorant and vicious men, instead OF
the intelligent and responsible men
of the country.
