The now Attorney General has ad.
dressed a letter to Senator Pool, of
North Carolina, assuring him that GER
tain citizens Of his State are mistaken
when they assume to create the impres.
sion that the late change in the office OF
Attorney General, indicates on the part
OF the Administration, an abatement of
vigor in prosecuting offenders under the
recent legislation of Congress to enforce
the rights Of citizens. He adds that the
President was satisfied with the zeal of
Attorney. General Akerman, in prosecut-
ing the Ku Klux. and states that if any
one who continues the crimes of that
organization, expects any favors from
his successor in Office, they are doomed
to signal and bitter disappointment.
He trusts that the people of the South
will assist the public authorities in re-
storing peace; but, il unreasoning and
defiant crime makes it necessary, he de-
clares that the President ia determined d
to use all the power which is placed in
his hands to protect the life and pro-
perty OF peaceabla citizens, and main.
tain the supremacy OF the laws. Those
IN authority are taking especial pains to
convince the Southern people of the
fact that the administration is fully
bent upon an unrelenting prosecution Of
the war that has been commenced upon
the South. The first aim was to Radi-
calize the Southern States; that failed,
and now the purpose is to punish them
for being Democrats.

1t is now announced that the report
OF outrages upon negroes in Saline
County, Missouri, published fret in the
st. Louis Democrat, Republican in senti-
ment.) was nothing but the most repre-
hensible hoax. The despatch to the
Democrat appears to have come from an
irresponsible person, and that bitterly
partisan paper seems to have been in
duoed by the tempting opportunity for
the manufacture of partisan capital to
give the report publicity. There were
no negroes hung-as we learn from the
paper published at Sedalia, Missouri,
situated near the soene Of the reported
tragedy-no Ku Klux, no outrage what
ever. The only possible grounds for the
report was drunken row between
negroes Themselves; there was no inter
ference from the whites, nor after raids
upon the negroes. The whole thing was
sensational story, apd we should Judge
without vestigo OF truth. How far the
st. Lonis Democrat should be held re-
sponsible for it's publication. is n very
nice question in journalism.

A SHAMEFUL CONFESSION According
TO a reliable Radical sheet OF this city,
the Administration will not go to war
with any foreign power, and particularly
with Spain. The reason is that "our
navy is almost worthless" For six
months after the first shot should be
fired. even the Spaniards would shave it
all their own way" We would not be
able to get the upper hand in a war until
we had built new navy at an "immense
cost. These are pretty admissions
from Radical organ. The Radicals
have now been in power in this country
for nearly eleven years. and have spent
in that time $1,000, 900. 600 OF the peo-
pies money. and yet we are told to-day
that we are in no condition to engage in
war with any foreign power for the pro-
lection of our flag and our citizens, be-
causo we should inevitably be whipped.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Wal DeDart

Fort Griffin, Texas. The father, mother
and little girl eight years of age, were kill
ed by arrows, scalped, and their bodies Iefl
with the arrows sticking in them. Corde-

and john Lee, aged six years. were taken
prisoners. Mrs. Lees ears were cutoff, The
commander of the post at Fort Griffin sent
scouting parties after the Indians. but there
was great delay in their starting, owing
to Hood in the river, and there are bur
small hopes of overtaking the murderers.-
General Augur fears that more extensive
operations will have to be inaugurated
against these Indians before they viii re-
main peaceable.
These brutalities are committed bv
the savages, on helpless women and chill

OF the government, but which the Radi-

to employ the troops otherwise than in
hunting down and arresting Southern
people on account of their political opin-

The Administration repudiates the pol
icy of making peace between the sections,
and of desisting from the persecution OF
the South. Mr.. Greeley, seeing that ac-
tual fighting had ceased seven years, and
| that to continue to make the South the
theatre Of military operations, was a
crime against liberty and humanity and
an insuperable obstacle to the restoration
of national prosperity-has proposed
that the sections shall clasp hands across
| the bloody chasm-that civil authority
shall be supreme over the military, and
that citizens shall enjoy the largest iber-
ty consistent with public order. Mr..
Boutwell,, a member of the Cabinet, in
his North Carolina speeches takes occa-
sion to emphatically reject, on behalf of
the Administration, this wise and hu-
name policy. He is thus reported:
RALEIGH, n. C.,July I7.-Secretary Bout
well in a speech at Greensboro North Caro-
| lima protested against the advice to clasp
hands across the bloody chasm. The chasm
must be filled up. 1t was produced by in
justice; let it be cemented with justice. 1t
cannot be filled by denial of protection
o the native-born citizens OF North Caroli-
IA, South Carolina and Texas He cOun-
selled his hearers to be not seduced by the
idea that The Democrats aro supporting a
Republican for the Presidency, and said
that if their candidate could offer, what he
cannot o1fer-a consistent life in the past
as pledge of his policy in the future, even
this would be without value, in tue pres
ence of the fact that nearly all his supporters
are from the Democratic party. In the ma
ture OF things the bloody chasm cannot be
filled until fixed majority of the South ac-
cept the doctrine not only that men are
equal before the law, but that all men by
rights are equal before the law.
This simply that it docs not suit
the partisan purposes of the Radical
leaders to have peace between the feder-
al government and the So thern States,
and the pretense urged is that they are
not in good faith accepting the results Of
the war and yielding obedience to the
national authority. The assumption is
as false as the policy on which it is based
is heartless and cruel. The impOverish-
ed and oppressed people of the South
have every motive to pursue pacific and
orderly course; and they have done so
except in rare cases where the provoca-
ton to violence has been irresistible in
consequence of the corruption and bad
faith of the class who have been put in
authority over them.
Our object, however, is not so much to
refute the preposterous assumption on
which the policy of prescription is advo-
Gated by the extreme Radicals, as to di-
rect attention to the fact and to appeal to
the men of the South by every consider
alton Of self-preservation to dedicate all
their energies to the good work of accom-
plishing change in the administration
