RADICAL INTIMIDATION.

Last night week ago a negro named John
M'Ginnis, who lives on W. ID. M'Fadden' S
plantation, six miles south of SenatObia,
Joined ic-ConservatiVe club, which
TACT has caused no little Indignation among
the Radical negroes of his neighbOrhOod. This
morning while M'Ginnis was in the yard OF a
colored Democrat, John Woods, who lives on
the same plantation, a well-knOwn Radical
negro named Henry Gillian approached him
and used language of an intimidating cbarac-
ter. I've are going to lift you all, said Gill
liam, who then assaulted and beat John
MGInnis. The latter came TO Sen
atobia and swore out a warrant be.
fore Mayor William Atkinson for the arrest
or Gillian. John Woods, who witnessed this
unprOvOked assault, corroborates the state
ment OF NGinnis, made before
the mayor. Deputy Sheriff Moss
this morning, armed with the warrant
went oOt for the purpose o. arresting Gillian,
who, il is feared, may offer resistance and
endesvoT to cause a disturbance, If not con-
fiict, between the white people and the
negroes. The Radical negroes have tried to
deter negroes from voting the Democratic
Conservative ticket. They have threatened
TO whip and beat ali OF their race no forsake
the Radical party. The white people, in view
OF this fact, have offered legal protection to all
cOlOTed people who Join the Democratic-Con-
sentative party. This they will do, and all
hell will not deter them in their legal rights.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Our reporter yesterday paid visit to
the Lower Girls High School to ascertain il
the young ladies had now definitely decided
whether they would receive their diplomas as
graduates or not, if signed by the present
members of the school board They have
decided the question, and all honor to them,
fer their decision is justlwhat we expected
they have determined not to be dishonored
by the signatures upon their well-earned d.
plomas of the present members of the board.
There are seventeen graduates at this excel
lent school, who, without an exception almost,
will not receive their diplomas. There might
be some two or three exceptions, but of these
We will not speak.
In the course of day or two we will pub
lish the names of all the graduates who do
not intend to receive their diplomas, for it
will do honor to them one and all, and in flu
ture life they can refer to this as bright epi-
sode in their lives
We would request all the graduates of the
Boys Central High School, who have decided
not to receive their diplomas, to send in their
names to Us Immediately also the ladies of
the Upper High School, so that they can all
be published together.

THE GREAT AMERICAN MARTYR.
From the N. Y. Herald

The President thinks he is the worst abused
man in the history of the country, and moi
only thinks so, but has said so officially in his
annual message to Congress, just after the
Greeley canvass. He then complained that
throughout the war and from my candidacy
for my present Office, in 1868, have been the
subject of abuse and SANDER scarcely ever
equaled in political history" The majority
of the people bad supposed that Gen. Grant
was the best rewarded person in American
history. He was elected President at time
when he had no political opinions he was viii
ling to express; all his errors were excused on
account Of his inexperience in civil affairs; he
was again elected, and he was the first Presi-
dent who ever had his salary raised.
Nevertheless Gen. Grant has ALWAYS con.
sidered himself one Of the great political
martyrs; he made personal sacrifice when
he gave up the Generalship of the army, a
position for life, to oblige the American
people by accepting the responsibility of the
Presidency; he again sacrificed himself in
1872 and he is willing to endure the same
anguish in 1876. In this martyr-like spirit
the President has consistently visited his
righteous wrath upon the people who have
offended him. The South annoys him bv its
attempt to govern itself, and he sends an
army to govern the South; Louisiana per-
plexes him and he disperses its Legislature
by the bayonet He is like one of those old
martyrs who, when bound TO a stake, re-
venged themselves by working miracles of
punishment upon their prosecutors.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

It is now evident that the members Of the
Board Of School Directors are determined to
force upon the people Of this city the dire
necessity Of keeping their children at home.
BY . resolution they have declared that two
Of the public schools shall be handed over to
q mixture of the races, Notwithstanding the
fact that even their trumpeter, the Republican,
has raised its voice against the movement.
/ 1t looks very much like an open defiance of
public opinion, and s,nacks very much Of the
mouthings of the well protected bully. We
cannot believe the majority of the colored peo-
pie here have any desire to destroy our public
school system, and we feel assured that the
position taken by the board will not meet
with that approval for which the directors have
made such palpable bid, but should this
crusade be sustained by Republicans, there is
only one thing left for the white parents of
our city to do, and that is to withdraw their
children at once. A....art ..ts
Painful as naturally this duty viii be, ii is
one our citizens owe to themselves and should
be performed with alacrity. This handful of
men have assumed the responsibility and the
are upon them.

A SHOOTING ARRAY
IN A GAMBLING HE'LL.

About 12:3Oo'clockA A. NJ. yesterday genera
knock-down with chairs, benches and tables
took place in the gambling saloon and barrel
house known as the 'Senate Exchange. a
the corner of Dryades and Common streets
kept by one Richard Benton, in which two
men named William II. Brand and J. H. Boil
ton. were shot and dangerously wounded.
The former was shot in the left side of the
neck and the latter in the left leg.
These men were assaulted and shot by
three Italians, named Manuel Parada, William
Perez and William Taylor, alias Basile.
William Taylor was arrested and locked up
in the Central Station. Parada and Perez
managed to make their escape before the Off
Ger on the beat could call assistance.
The wounded men were conveyed in a cab
to the Charity Hospital, where they received
the proper surgical attention.
Richard Benton, the boss, and Charles LAT
feranderie, Ferdinand Gutinez, Francis Hum
nez, Robert Heath, George Austin and Henry
Chancellor, his bar-keepers and monte dealers,
were also lodged in prison when the police
cleaned the house out, on a charge of being
accessories to the shooting and wounding of
the two men above named.
The women, numbering about twenty-eight,
who were engaged playing monte and some
half dozen other games on the second floor,
managed to make their escape through the
yard shortly after the row commenced. This
place has been complained of by the residents
in that vicinity for the past six months, and it
is to be hoped that the police will put stop
to this nuisance, which has been going ON
nightly for so long time.

Previous to the outbreak of the war pro.
ject was under consideration for the political
unity of the peninsula, which now contains
fragments Of three States-Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia This project was abAn-
doned for weightier considerations, but it is
NOW revived by the Dela,care State Journal, the
most influential newspaper Of the Stats.
Chesapeake Bay forms a natural boundary for
the three States. Maryland would cede the
eastern shore and l25,SS7 population; Nr-
sinia an inconsiderahle fragment and II, AS
which, with the present population Of Dela-
ware would amount to 245, SIT more than is
possessed by Florida, Nebraska, Nevada, Ore
gon, or Rhode Island. The project is harder
upon Maryland than Virginia. but the disad-
vantages of such an unnatural division Is the
present are obvious enough. The peninsula
is one, and the interests Of its inhabitants are
identidcal, no matter to which Of the three
States they belong. The matter was discussed
by the journalists of the peninsula at recent
reunion, and preliminary steps were taken by
forming a peninsular editorial union.

POVERTY ABROAD.

remark frequently heard is that there are
more beggars to be met now upon our streets
than have ever been seen before. This is
even too true, for, although we have our
quota of professionals, and the usual number
of paupers to be found in every large COM
munity, there are numbers whom distress
has recently driven forth to solicit charity
at the hands of public that is in no condi-
ton to respond, however humanely inclined
it may be, even to these piteous demands
In passing upon any one of our public thor
oughfares there is to be met upon almost
every square decrepit old woman, weak
and faltering old man, or some ragged child
who beseeches the gift of paltry nickel
sometimes accompanying the request by re-
cital of the distress that prompts it, calcu-
lated to move even the most callous heart to
commiseration.
These people are alarmingly numerous, but
there is another class who, although DESTROYS,
are unable to procure work, and being unwil-
ling to beg, live on from day to day in dire
want, suffering the EXTREMIST affections of
poverty suffering day in and day out the
pangs Of hunger, and latterly, having to en-
counter the additional distress of cold. These
number hundreds, aye, thousands, and
their prospects, what are they? To live
on thus, for nothing in their present
surroundings points to a condition of
since business of all descrip-
lions is utterly paralyzed, and will continue
thus as long IS the present administration
has power to manipulate the political affairs |
If our impoverished State to their own ends. |

evening" January 18th, 1875 without our au-

not responsible now for it. Three trustees
with the sexton opened the door of the chapel
on the evening in question. We also exoner-
ate our pastor, the Rev. Geo. Dardis, from all
blame IN the affair, for in the first place his
