Louis in October is promulgated to-day.

| WASHINGTON. Sep. 4.-There are quite
a number of Republican Senators and
members now in the city, all of whom have
something to say about the recent circular
of Attorney General Williams on the So
called outrage business in the South. Ii is
much to the honor of two Southern Repub-
/ lican Senators, lately here, that they have
| taken no part in this caTpet-bag plot against
the South, but decidedly disapproye of it,.
The carpet-baggeTs are full of exultaiion,
and say the whole thing is now over, mean
ing thereby that the people in the States
controlled by them will be so cOwed by
Grants application of bayOnets that they
will give up and submit to be robbed with
out resistance. This is the view taken by
Patterson, West and Sypher, who now feel
that they viii have an easy time in South
Carolina and Louisiana
Some Radical Opinion,

Kentucky spoken OF.
Attorney Williams is quoted rs saying
before he left that the disturbances in Ken
tucky were equal to those in any other
State, and the Government would use the
most stringent measures to suppress them.
These disturbances Williams persists in re-
garding as political, instead of being mere
neighborhood individual feuds. The fact
that Kentucky Is so largely and steadily
Democratic makes the feeling of the Gov
eminent officials very bitter against the
State, and there is keen desire to get at
the people and in some way or other break
up Democratic ascendeRcy.
south Carolina.
The especial reference of the President
in his letter to South Carolina was the re-
suit mainly Of Attorney General Williams
exparte representations, who has in turn
been manipulated by the leader Of he
South Carolina ring, Senator Patterson.
As the only violations of law in South
Carolina in a good while occurred recently
at Georgetown, where two negro mObs con-
tended, threatening to burn and sack the
town, and no whites were connected with
it, the accusation of the President is re-
garded as especially slanderous and unprO-
vOiled. The Democrats in South Carolina
have for years made no party contest; and
they being in the minority over 10000
votes and perfectly subjugated, it is obvious
that Senator Patterson does not need
the military arm against them. The real
occasion Of his call for troops is that he
fears movement by such reform Republi-
cans as Senator Robertson which, if sup
ported by Conservatives would be fOrmida-
bic; and, in rallying the negroes to the
thieves ticket, it is very important to him
to have on his side the epaulets and pres
tige of the regular army Of the United
States. The game has been well played,
and is so far completely successful.
The Presidents Absence Censured.
The President is beginning to catch it
from Republican papers for his long and
repeated absence from the seat of Govern
ment. The National Era, Fred. Doug
las paper, published here, contains a very
savage onslaught upon him for his absence;
and the EUeling star very correctly says
that abSenteeism works as adly for Wash
ington as it does for Ireland.
