FROM WASHINGTON.
The Plot Against the South.

The following is a special dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 9TH, dated Wash
ington, September 4th:
THE PLOT AGAINST THE SOUTH
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. 1t IS
much to the honor of two Southern Repribli-
can Senators lately here that they have taken
no part in this carpet-bag plot against the
South but decidedly disapprove Of it. The
carpet baggers are full Of eXultation, and say
that the whole thing is now over, meaning
thereby that the people in the States controlled
by them will be so cowed by Grants applica-
ton of bayonets that they will give up and
submit to be robbed without resistance.
This is the view taken by Patterson, West
and Sypher, who now feel that they will have
an easy time in South Carolina and Louisiana
Senator Cameron, on his attention being
called to-day to the disorders in the South
rubbed his hands and said: 1T will do us
good" Chandler is reported to have said he
was always in favor of putting the screws to
those sons OF b-s down South. An eX-
member of Congress remarked that the war
ought to have lasted seven years longer, so
AS to complete it and break the spirit of the
Southern people Attorney General Williams
is quoted as saying, before he left, that the
disturbances in Kentucky were equal to those
III any other State, and that the Government
would use the most stringent measures to sup
press them These disturbances Williams
persists i'll regarding as political instead OF
being mere neighberhood individual teuds.
PENALTY OF vOyING THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The fact that Kentucky is so largely and
steadily Democratic makes the feeling of the
Government officials very bitter against the
State, and there is keen desire to get ut the
people, and IN some way or other to break up
the Democratic ascendency. The especial
reference of the President in his letter to
South Carolina was the result mainly of Attor-
ney General Williams's representations who
has III turn been manipulated by the leader OF
the South Carolina ring, Senator Patterson. |
The real occasion of his call for troops is that |
he fears a movement by such reform Republi-
cans as Senator Robertson, which if supported |
by the Conservatives, would be formidable, !
and IN rallylng the negroes to the thieves
ticket 1t Is very important to him to have on
his side the epalllets and prestige of the regu-
lar army of the United States The game has
been well played, and is so far completely
successful.
AFTER THE KING.
The President is beg inning to catch it from
Republican papers for his long and repeated
.bsence from the seat Of Government The
National Era, Fred Dougasss paper, pub
Ilshed here, contains a very savage onslaught
upon him for his absence and the Evening
star very correctly says that absenteeism
works as badly for Washington as it does for
Ireland
ONE OF THE HEAD RASCAIS.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has struck
dow at one Ct the worst rings in the Treasury
Department by the removal of Col Whitley
de has been removed for his connection with
he celebrated safe burglary. and not for his
'art III putting number of persons at
Georgia, to actual torture which
ct being directed against rebels, is not Re.
,arded by the Government as criminal.
