returned t. hif SCAT At the wharf. He had not
been absent but Q few momsnts yhen n man ap
peared and knocked at the door Of the residence,
and, 10 answer 70 the SUMMONS, It was opened By
Mrs. Hnney, who held In her arms an infant
child.
The man inquired for Captain Haney, and on
being informed that he was absent drew o club,
which had been concealed under his coat and
struck both the mother and child, knocking them
senseless to the floor. He then ran up stairs to
the bedroom, in which, after hurried search, he
discovered about $500 and some articles and m de
his escape. Luckily neither Mrs. Haney nor the
child are much injured by the rough treatment
they received. The case was reported TO the

$35, ,OOO, GOO per annum Ad- dItiOnaI tax to be ExtOrted

The new Tax and Tariff Bill as per
 fected by the committee on Ways
 and Means will fix a tax of one
 dollar per gallon on all whiskey
 manufactured after the passage of
 the act, on all spirits in the hands of rectifiers, wholesale dealers and
 in bond the tax will be increased to S5 cents per gallon; on all i'm ported spirits in bond and here afCer imported an increase cores bonding with the increase on home production. The tax on tobacco will be increased 4cents per pound, it "A cents on all tobacco manufactured after the passage of the act, and not to apply to tobac- co in bond. The rates of tax. on sugar will be increased 9 per cent. The ten per cent. tribute on all imported goods will be re- stored. Altogether, the estimat- ed yearly increase is the neat little sum of $35,O00, So much for the Grant administration.

we have ever won by our patience and forbearance in other matters whereby we have thus far defeat ed our enemies, by foolish and violent resistance in this case? The Civil Rights bill can neither degrade us, or elevate the black man. Nature has fixed the sphere and position ih society for both, and legislation cannot change it.
 The interests of the white and black in the south are mutual, and the welfare of both demands amity between them. Then let the Civil Rights bill pass if it must, and if we will only be for bearing and mild, all will be well. If the two races will be just and courteous in their dealings this great bug bear, which is well cal culated to prove bomb shell of distraction to both races, will fall harmless at our feet, and we can march forward together in peace, each attaining whatever degree of eminence our respective exertions and qualifications may deserve.

would soften them down some, but so far from having this effect, it has only intensified their per- secutions and added to their zeal.
 Their strategy may be alarmingly dangerous, or it may be totally harmless. It may be to us fatally successful, or it may be to them a signal failure. Itall depends upon. the manner in which we meet their programme. If we do as they wish us to and are trying to provoke us to do, all is lost. If we suffer our better judgement to become muddled, lose our cool cemposure and are provoked to the use of incorporate language which may be distorted into threats; and especially if we resist their programme by any acts of personal violence, their strategy may succeed. Temperance, pru- dence, moderation and forbearance must be our watchword. We must remember that a bitter word ut tered or an overt act committed by democrats will be weapon in the hands of the administration party. An offensc in the North which is passed over every day without no tice, is magnified into an unpar- donable crime ifcommitted in the South. Knowing the weapons they are going to fight us with, we must not furnish them ammu- hilton to make them destructive. We will have much to bear; but let us remember that discretion is the better part of valor. Our Rep resentatives in Congress should be dignified, composed and for bearing; opposing manfully and firmly, but decorously and respect fully, obnoxious measures. When they have done this they have dis charged their duty, and they can then appeal it to the people in 1876 without having any fears as to the result. The populace ofthe South should be guarded quiet and or derly. It will not be long until 1876, and then if we pursue the right policy meantime, the victory will be ours.

IMMIGRATION.

We publish elsewhere, and in vitc a careful perusal of n circular letter from the Commissioner of Immigration in reference to the collection of information, statistics etc, which is of vast importance. We also make room for q letter from Gov. Garland to the sheriffs and clerks of the various counties on the same subject. There IS no other question of so great impor- tance to ns now as this, and 1t IS to be hoped that cheerful re- sponse will be accorded to these letters. These officers should have the hearty cooperation of the people. We urge it upon our leading men who can awaken an interest in the minds of the masses on this subject, to act upon the suggestions contained in the circular from Mir. Smithee. Our grangers especially should feel an interest in this matter, and as an organized movement IS always best, perhaps they are the proper ones to inaugu- rate the move. Such statements as are furnished should be reliable and exact. The future of our state is now in the hands of our people and if the efforts of our ex- ccutive and other officers are prop erly seconded by the friends of our state, we will have ample and abundant remuneration in rapid progress.

GRANT AND THE PRESS.

We surrender a large amount of our space this week, to copious extracts from the influential and able papers of the North and East, on the Presidents message on Ar kansas affairs. The temper of the people of this country may be pretty we'll ascertained from pc rusal of these extracts. Never before in the history of our coun- try has any act of a president of these United States called forth a more universal denunciation than this act of President Grant. Nev- CT has any act of former Presi- dent elicited from the press of the country and from great men, stronger terms of condemnation. We are glad to see the press ofthe whole country speak out in such a bold and unmistakable manner. It is healthy indication, and shows clearly that the day in which such high toned assumption of un- limited power by chief execu- tive of a free country will be tol- erated, will soon pass away. If Grant can survive the conse- quences of this last unwarranted and unprecedented act, this shame ful degradation and disgraceful abuse of the high and honorable position he holds, then indeed is he a most wonderful man, and then truly we may mourn the de- generacy of our race, and toll the bells for the knell of departed lib erty.

It is one of the pest attributes in General Grants character, to which he largely owes his success as a soldier, that he never surren- ders.- N. Y. Herald.
 Wait until 1876 and see if he don't surrender the third term ma nia and the White house. We have heard it asserted that he once surrendered his commission to keep from being cashiered on account of his extreme fondness and profuse indulgence in oil of corn, more commonly called drunk enness.
