III RiOJN DRIVING.


Yesterday morning Nr. \. T. Cocllrane,
al old and well-known citizen, was thrown
from his buggy and seriously injured.
The accident, i accident it can be called,
was the result Of the recklessness Of the driver
OF q cotton float, q negro, who goas by the
name Of Tom johnson.
Mr.. Cochrane was drjvin. slowly down Old
Levee street. Just opposite tie French Mar
ket and .lohnson's float came tel.inc down
behind him. tie mules goin, .. a furious
pace. He made no effort AZ All. 50 far as was
seen BY spectators. 70 avoid a collision. and
the wheels Of his float locked with those Of
the buggy Of Mr.. Cochrane. and capsiza(i i,
throwing Mr.. Coahrane to the Ground with
grea. force. and int.c.ing severe nu. not dan.
geroGs injuries.
Mr.. Cochrane was picked up and such as
sistance a. was il the power OF those who Wit
messed tie accident was rendered him and in
a short time he was able 10 proceed to the
police station and make an affidavit against
johnson, who had been arrested. From
thence, accompanied by friend, he went 70
his residence, and the probabilities are that
it will be several days before lc will be able
to leave his room.
Johnson the driver, is only one Of class
whose rocklessness constantly endangers the
lives Of citizens ard al e1emple should be
made OF him.
There is a city ordinance against furious
driving and the police and police judges
should see that it is enforced, and the full
penalty inflicted wLenoscy an arrest undes its
provisions is made.

THE CAUCUs-BAYOxEF BILL

a more careful reading Of this enor-
nifty which has passed the House, and
is likely to be squeezed through the
Senate before Thursday noon, confirms
our opinion of yesterday that it con-
fers very little power on Grant beyond
what he has already boldly claimed and
freely exercised. The first two sec
tions, Furnishing conspiracy to over
throw an existing State Government
depend altogether on how the Execu.
tive may interpret them. We have
seen him sustain Kellogg and Baxter
in gaining illegal possession Of two
States. Subsequently we have seen
him Immediately suppress Penn with
bayonets for overthrowing an existing
government, while he allowed Brooks
to lombard Little Rock for thirty
days.
The third section practically forbids
the open or concealed carrying Of fire
arms or other deadly weapons at the
places of registration or election polls.
1t is a good provision, but superfuous,
all the States having laws that cover
the case. So Of the fourth section
Furnishing direlict registration officers,
and the fifth forbidding the theft OF
mutilation of ballot boxes or their con-
tents.
The sixth section makes the killing
of any innocent person at an election,
by another who is violating any pro-
vision Of this act, murder; for which
the accessories as well as the principal,
shall suffer the penalty of death.
Section seventh gives exclusive juris-
diction over offenses under this bill to
the United States courts, thus nullify-
ing State action against concealed
weapons, registration or election frauds,
murder and other crimes; or leaving
the offender subject to double punish
ment.
The eighth section is, perhaps, the
most significant in the whole bill, Civ
ing the Federal authorities the super
vision Of elections in every county and
voting precinct. On the request of ten
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1875-03-02

citizens, black or white, Radical SUI
pervisor of elections may be appointed
in every precinct by the Judge of the
Federal Circuit Court. These super
visors may be imported from any part
of the District. In the same way,
special deputy marshals are provided
for every polling place by the ninth
section. These two sections will vest
the leading Radical politicians Of ev-
cry neighborhood with all the powers
of the United States to annoy and ar
rest their political adversaries.
The next section requires that the
ballots be counted in the presence Of
the Federal Supervisor and Deputy
Marshal A certificate relating to the
vote for Congressman or Presidential
Electors, shall be forwarded through
the chief Supervisor of the District to
the Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives. This last feature Introduces a
new era in our system, entirely ignoring
States and State lines in the choice of
Congressman, President or Vice Pres
ident.
Passing the next section, which re-
lates to salaries, the twelfth prescribes
that the original ballots, poll-lists and
tally-sheets shall be preserved until the
close of the first session Of the Con-
gress affected thereby, !and their Gus
todian may be subpenaed to produce
them in case of contests for seats in
that body.
Thus far, the bill reads as though it
was designed to apply iupartially to
all the States. The thirteenth section,
however, which provides that where n.
lawful combinations become too strong
tor the State Government, the Presi-
dent may, in his Judgment, suspend
the writ of habeas cOrpus-is limited to
four States, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama The natural
inference is that Grant has determined
to carry these four Staten for himself
by the bayonet. It means tina. the
freely chosen governments Of Arkansas
and Alabama are to be upset, while
Louisiana is to be still denied her
rights, and Mississippi shall have no
opportunity for redemption. AS much
is indicated by the closing section
which limits this suspension of habeas
corpus to the coming two years, thus
covering the Presidential election.
We see nothing worse in this bill
than the plan of campaigninaugurated,
without authority of such law, last
summer and fail, when Grant placed
Belknap and the entire War Depart
ment at the command Of Attorney
Williams, whose hirelings overrun the
whole South and called troops at their
beck whittier they listed, not excepting
our own State.
Its real significance lies in the virtual
endorsement of Grants past course
and of his ambition for third term.
It's passage viii irrevocablT pledge to
his fortunes whatever remains Of the
Republican party. This may give it
pause in the Senate, though we fear it
viii pass nevertheless. So far as the
party is represented in Congress, 1t has
already gone too fart to reuace its steps
at this late hour of the session.

UNION AND AMERICAN.
TUESDAY. MARCH ?. 1875.

JUDGE MCMILLAN, the new United
States Senator from Minnesota, is thus
highly spoken Of by one Of the Demo-
cratic organs Of his State-the St. Paul

virtues, of high character, Of unbend-
ing integrity and of absolute freedom
from all entangling alliances and all
corrupt rings. he viii 60 into the
Senate with clean hands not only, but
with clean heart. He viii further be
free from obligations to Individuals,
eliques, and we wish we could add, to
parties; but the character Of his speech
of acceptance f5rbids the latter pre-
sumption. He announced himself to
be a straight Republican. In one
