Excited Letters from SOutheFn hc-
publfeaus CIamOriug for Federal In
reference
Special TO the Louisville OOurier-Journal.
WAsHrNGToN, Aug 30.-The question
of the fact that the Radical politicians of
the South, alarmed at the result Of the cleo
tions recently held in North Carolina, Ten
nessee and Kentucky, and fearful OF losing
the other Southern States by the Civil
Rights issue, are generally conspiring to
obtain Federal interference, pressure and
intimidation. To this end the negroes are
stimulated by them TO insOlence and OUT
breaks: and when conflicts with the whites
follow, as might be expected, letters of an
excited and sensational character are writ
ten by those creatures and their agents TO
the Department of Justice. Numbers OF
these letters are now coming IN from ali
parts of the South. The Attorney General
accepts these exparte statements as strict
ly true, and declares the whites
TO be the aggressors. Holding that the ne
groes are acting on the defensive merely,
and assuming these to be the facts In the
case, he proceeds next 10 assign a motive
for the alleged OutrageS and eonspiraeies,
namely. a disposition on the part OF the
whites to prevent the negroes from voting
the Republican ticket. SO far as Judge
Williams is concerned, there is no doubt
that lie has made up his mind against the
Southern whites in respect to these is
tusbanees. 1t Is asserted by well informed
persons that he viii advise the President
to some form of executive action based
on the idea Of a conspiracy against the ne
goes.
Various modes of interference are sug-
gested as possible:
l. An Executive proclamation.
,. The location of troops at different
points in the South where elections are TO
be held.
I.astly-An active and comprehensive
system of prosecutions under the enforce
ment act in the Federal courts, similar to
Judge Bonds notable raid in North and
South Carolina.
There isreason to believe that a strong
political pressure viii be brought to bear
upon President Grant TO induce him to
pursue the most extreme course, and the
| S ,uthern Republicans, politicians like
Spencer and Moses, viii clamOr for military
repression and a reign Of terror as prere
auisite 10 Republican successes in Alabama
| and North Carolina. II is impossible just
now to anticipate the Presidents course;
but as he will hear only one side in the
matter, and that adverse to the Southern
whites, it will require some nerve and
acumen on his part 10 resist the pressure tC
which he will be subject. IL is deemed
very obvious that any assent to Judge vii
liam's proposed plan will eXtinglIish any
disposition OF the Southern Conservatives
to aceept Gen. Grant for a third term.

OH ANNuAL REVIEW.

The review of the trade Of Nashville
for the past twelve months, which we
publish this morning, is unusually com
plete, and as correct as the difficulties
under which the information was col
lected would permit. 1t is anything
but creditable to Nashville that her
merchants have no sy stem by which re-
liable statistics. showing the nature
and extent of her trade, can be OBJ
tanned. She is, IN this respect, twenty
years behind many cities of more mod
est commercial pretensions.

The house in which colored man by

iday had been taken out and whipped on
several occasions. We are told by good CT
tizens in that vicinity that he was quiet
good negro, and all the whipping, etc, was
Iinealled for. Suspicion rests pretty hea-
vily on certain parties-in fact, We learn il

AN IsVENrIvE NEWPORT BELLE.

They tell a good story of a young lady
whose taste and invention were much great
er than her means. Invited to one of the
villa parties, where she knew point lace
would be a. a discount, and diamonds at
running scale Of magnihcence, she
set her wits TO work to make
herself respectable in such gorgeous
company. She had neither point
lace nor diamonds, and, what is more tOthe
point, she had no money TO buy much more
than a calico gown. What was to be done?
She did rs Cinderella did-tranSfOrmed
what to the less brilliant mind was untrans
fOrmable, by the aid Of her fairy gOdmOther
mother wit. Hanging up in her closet
was an old white silk-yellOwed, wrinkled,
tatteTed. Its next allotted use was to figure
i'm patchwork quilt; but in her dilemmathis
ghost of a gown, this phantom from a score
or more parties confronted her, and with it
a sudden inspiration. She took the phan-
tom from its peg and opened her paint box
for she is an artist of no mean ability
and presently over the faded surface sprang
a delicate tracery Of field flowers. And the
end of her labor was the result that not
only Solomon in all his glory was eclipsed,
but all the other women in their diamond
and lace
