Grants Force bill.

The bill denounced by a leading Re
publican journal as an "atrocious propo
sition for governing the South" to which
Grant has compelled the Republican
caucus to commit his party, drags heav-
lily, and there is reason to believe that it
will fail in consequence of the divisions
which it has produced in the Republican
ranks. But few days of the present
Congress remain. At its close the law
making power will no longer exist exclu-
sively in the hands of the Republicans; the
day will then have passed for the enact
ment Of measures designed for the perse-
cution Of the South. Nothing could have
been wider of the mark than the calcula-
ton of its authors, that it would be the
means Of controlling the votes of the
Southern States for Grant, or any other
candidate representing his policy, in the
Presidential election. With the excep-
ton of two of these States, the entire
thirteen are sure to cast their votes for
the Opposition, no matter how many
Force Bills are passed. At the late Fall
election in Louisiana, U. S. troops were
stationed in all portions of that State,
reign of terror existed, and Z. S. military
law was triumphant over civil authority.
Still the Conservatives carried the day in
The popular vote and the Legislature by
large majorities.

The bill providing for the abatement

ana the restoration of such lands to the
assessment rolls, passed the House to-
day, (2Oth,) without division. It seems
that both parties agree upon this excel
Ieh' measure. 1t is estimated that this
law will save this year $780, to the

THE portraiture of COL Lamar by q
political foe, in the Milwaukee News.
(Republican) will be read with interest.
his emnently successful Congressional
career is due to his perfect apprehension
OF the situation, his recognition of the
changes wrought by the war, and his
capacity to fall in with surrounding cir.
cumstances and turn them to the hest ac-
count for the people of the South. With
out compromising their dignity, he has,
by course of mingled courtesy and firm
ness, conciliated and won the respect of
her foes. They have recognized in him
a true knight who did his fighting when
the war was raging, and who, since its
termination, has made it a point of honor
10 yield gracefully to the decree rendered
by the supreme tribunal of nations.

A Statement.

Mr.. EDIToR-As gross injustice was done
the members of my family from misrepresen-
tations in an article in the PRESS of Saturday
morning. headed Fire Alarm, L re-
spectfully ask space to make explanation,
which will place us in a proper light before the
public The "rather unsatisfactory account
given of the key, to alarm box No. 10 by the
family to those authorized to inquire was this:
At the time of the alarm, L was entertaining a
number of my friends. Several men connected
with the fire department rushed into the hall
and one of whom requested to know if the key
was in the house. l ordered it to be given to
the man at once, but when informed that he
could have what he asked for, he did not want
it. He only wanted it if he could not have
it. The gentleman politely informed US that it
was a false alarm and that his motive was to
ascertain how anyone could gain access to the
box without the key, and to satisfy the de-
partment that the key was in its accustomed
place. We assured him that it was; it never
having been out of the house except once last
spring. We had resumed our enjoyment when
second party called to ascertain what de-
scription we could give of the party who first
called whether young or old, &C. He was in-
formed by the lady of the house that it was
gentleman who called, and that his request was
not to get the key, but to be assured that it
was here. After answering all the inquiries of
of which we had any knowledge, it became ap-
parent that it must be matter of question
whether to entertain crowd of boys and fire.
men, seldom seen in this quiet locality, on the
front steps or our invited guests in the parlor.
We decided to entertain the latter, hence the
Misrepresentation.
Saturday we received note from the chief
of the fire department, demanding the key
which we cheerfully gave up, and L hope, that
the absence of it will keep us for a short time,
at least, from the annoyance consequent on
newspaper notoriety. D. r. WRIGHT
