RADIoALIsm AND SOUTHERN Pow
ERTE.

An approved correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press, writing from jackson, 1Iissis-
sippi, says;
'Land can be bought for mere song; IN
fact, hundreds of men offer to give away
land, provided settlers will live on it a few
years, and surely there are few places where
greater chance seems to exist for q poor
man than on the beautifully rolling lands of
Kinds county, with exhaustless store of
mari to enrich them"
If the writer refer to ''poor" white men,
as those to be blest in Mississippi, he is
sadly mistaken. Poor whites do not flour
isb in the midst of blacks. In Mississippi
negroes are supreme and land is therefore
vaIueless. Radicalism reigns and migratory
populations may love Radicalism and the
negro very tenderly; but the latter only at
vast distances. 1t is astonishing what a
curious suspension bridge is this thing called
Radicalism or negrophily. The greater its
length the greater its strength and durabil-
ity. The wider and deeper the chasm sep
arsting the two races the diviner the
binding luster OF negro worth and
citizenship. To an ordinary, spec
tacled dOwn-easter, pedagogue preacher
sr politician, who looks out through icicled
window panes away down into the remote
jungles of African government and civiliza-
tion in the. South, Sambo ''shines like a
rotten mackerel by moonlight" But he
never draws nigh unto the negro. BE keeps
him at arms length that he may continue
to love him. No Yankee or other sane per-
SON invests cash or would have q farm OF
home in q negrO-gOverned State, city OF
county, and it is well that the truth some
times leaks out, even through the pores Of
the Pres, as when it tells that land is value
less where the priceless boon Of negro suf-
frage invests civilization with all the de-
lights Of savagery, and converts governments
into simple machinery for the robbery Of IN

THE THIRD TRRM.

VIII Grant aehisvs the third ternl Il
50, what is his programmed To whom can
elook for support. and where can he count
his friendsi In our opinion, his prospect
for reelection wa, from its incipiency,
small-now it has ''groWn smaller, and
more beautifully less" II he desired and
expected to be made President again, it
seems that reason and common sense would
have prompted him 20 pursue policy com
mending itself to the American people,
characterized neither by truculent subserv-
iency to party, nor cringing obedience to
prejudice.
At one time 1t was thought the Presidents
policy towards the Southern States would
be mild and conservative. We were told
that bis feelings had taken ''kindly drift
towards the Southern people, and that he
desired to see them reinvested with all their
rights and privileges. How Southern hope
beat high when it was announced that the
day of dellverance dawned, and that of
bondage was drawing to close. Alas, for
the vanity of human wishesi The dream
was soon dispelled, and hopes turned to
ashesl A few short months had scarcely
rolled by, when the country was startled by
the preparation of the grossest outrage
ever done "a free people. A military
satrap, armed with instructions from his
chief, proceeds to the capital of sovereign
State, and, with sacrilegeOus hand, tears
down the most sacred rights and tramples
under foot the few remaining liberties of a
most unfortunate people.
Was this wisdOml was this policy Does
the President, by his action in the Louisi-
ana affair, expect to commend himself to
she favorable consideration of the Ameri-
can people Have the lessons of the third
of November been forgottenH Has the
warning that was thundered forth on that
day passed from his mind and left him in
blissful forgetiulness of the dangers that
environ him
Quem Deus Vult perdere, prius dementa,
''whom God would destroy He first makes
mad" The President is enraged. Flatter-
les Of fortune, of wealth, of friends and
fools, have turned his head. The sands of
his luck have nearly run out. Fickle for
tune is tired of the stupid, laundering favor
ite. When history comes to contemplate
the height to which accident raised Grant,
she will be lost in anazement, till, looking
down, she sees the depth into which he
fell. 1t is said that ''every dog has his
day." Grants has been a long one, and
every sunbeam has been moulded into gilt
tering coin. He can retire with plethoric
purse, and the proud satisfaction of hav-
ing established the precedent that the presi-
Dental Office is ''to let" twelve months
from next March, and he will retire, if at
all, to friendly shades that shelter the
despised of his countrymen. The places
that knew him oneo will know him no moro
forever, and his fondest hopes will have
faded ''like the baseless fabric Of vision. y

II is q gratifying fact, that the report oi
the sub-COngressional committee on thu
condition Of Louisiana is even more kind
and generous TO the South and to New or
leans than We hoped, or even anticipated.
1t is almost perfectly just. The result Is
that the whole committee on Southern
affairs is now orderedto New Orleans. But
it happens that these three, whose report
we have, constitute majority Of the whole
committee, and no material change need be
apprehended. The truth has been spoken,
and lies cannot well supplant it. Seeing
this, the leaders in the plot for fhe over
throw of the Republic must needs ''change
their base, and yicksburg, rsther than
New Orleans, becomes the scene Of opera
tions. Very certainly, if our dispatches
tell the TRUTH the revolution, now fully in
augurated at Vicksburg is designed to ter
inmate in the extinction of States and final
establishment of the empire. The process
is begun in the South, that the North may
believe that deeds of depotism are justi-
fed by Southern antipath! to the Union.
Let us beware that we do no act that may
serve Grant in fastening tSB impression
upon the people of the Norh It is their
fight as.well as ours.

THE ROLE OF TEXAS.

The crime Of Louisianians is terrible.
No pen can paint, no tongue can tell, no
force or elOquence of genius exaggerate it.
The people Of Louisiana absolutely desplse
Kellogg, and Grant appointed Kellogg.
They hate Kellogg's Legislature, and Grant
elected it. They despise Packard, doughty
villain, and Grant loves Packard. They
proved Durell to be thief, and Grant hon
ored Durell. They wept over woes in
fiicted by thieves enriched by DurelIs court,
and by his receiver in bankruptcy, who
stole million or more, and Grant loved
these thieves. The people despised Casey
and rejected his claims when Grant sought
to have. this delightful brother-in-law
spewed up from the stomach of Louisiana
into the Federal Senate. Louisiana did
vomit, and pinchback negro, reeking in
filth and moral rottenness, sits worthily be-
side Morton, and Grant is grievously mad.
Then, too, these wicked Louisianians or
ganized league to protect themselves as
far as possible against roaues and desperate
adventures, clothed with Office by imbruted
blacks, and ia maintaining order, when
Grant most wanted pretext to destroy the
State, they have deeply offended him.
Grant intends to protract his reign and that
Of his party, and the South has not hith~
erto failed to furnish, when required, apre-
text for some foul eO,sp of demagogism by
which the Northern rabble was marshaled
in solid phalanx against these helpless
States. Grants friends and family and
place-holders in New Orleans have grown
enormously rich, and since this could have
been accomplished only by stealing, and
New Orleans tells it that Grants puppets
arc rOgues, Grant again is in towering
rage-so 'infernaIly mad that he cannot
restrain himself, even in a formal message
to Congress, and the President Of the
United States, If such thing as Grant
can be such President, absolutely speaks
falsely. There is no ether word for it, and
the apology is given in facts We recite in
his defense %. Then the people of LOuisi-
ana hate thieves, and these are Grants spe-
cisl friends, and thus Grant hates and viii
crush Louisiana. Black Leagues have ex-
listed since the frat carpet .bagger began to
des0late the South, and Grant owes all
local power welded in the South BY his
adherents to "Black Leagues" but while
white league would compel honesty N

Nor very long ago, an issue was made,
plain and direct, between Grant and An
drew johnson, the latter sustained by his
then Cabinet ministers. johnson asserted
then, as now, that Grant lied. Now Grant
tells that he sent Sheridan to New Orleans
to take command ''if he thought necessary. Z"
Sheridan said when he first came t, New
Orleans that his visit "wss purely pesonal
affair; it was entirely out of his department
and he had received no instructions respecting
it. He was on his way with some ladiesand
officers Of his staff to Havana on a pleasure
trip; the length OF issojourl in
New Orleans will, he said, be entirely cen.
trolled by the ladies of his party; when they
hoist the flag he is on his way whittier tley
direct.nr y -s
We published this statement of Sheridan
when it was made, and Grant owes it to
the country to explain these slight discrep
ancies between his own and the assertions
of the peerless army officer.
