Nothing is more certain than that
the Radical party must adopt one
of these two alternatiycs-.lt must
either abandon the scheme of mill
tary reconstruction under the recent
acts of Congress as impractica Bile,
or else push that scheme still fur
thcr, and enlarge upon the recon-
mendation of Autocrat POPE, by
hanging, shooting, imprisoning and
sending into exile the great mass of
the Southern white people. TO
Danish the leaders in the struggle
for liberty and the common rights
of men, would be of little practical
utility, as other leaders with the
like patriotic spirit of self-sacrifce
would Immediately spring up in
their places, and the South would
furnish as splendid crop of patri-
OTIS and heroes as Poland has done,
and present as brilliant examples of
resistance to tyranny and oppress-
ion. The only way for the Radicals
to insure the safe and pcacea bic cs-
tahlishmcnt of Negro Republics in
what were recently the Southern
States of this Union, is to rid the
country at once and forever of all
the whites, except those few
white Radicals or mogrels who
may be affiliated with the negroes,


and whom the latter may be willing
to associate and malgamate with.


1t will, however, be necessary to
increase the present military force
in the South some ten times it's
present number, and maintain it
there for several years to come !;


but the people of the North are ac-
cording to Radical journals, so in
love with the idea Of having some
ten States of the Union given up to
the negroes, and so lightly taxed
already, that they will quietly and
even joyfully submit to a levy of
several hundred millions more per
annum, in order to bring about the
glorious negro millennium of which
the prophets of Radicalism discourse
so quently.-Cleveland p. d.

The savage tribes who are natives
Of the extreme northwestern coast
of America, are comprised under
the general name of Kaloches of
Sitka, and recognize as foundercr
of the race, a man whom they call
Elkin who dwclt under the special
favor and protection of the crow, u
bird whom they worship as the first
cause of all things. What created
the crow, or what gave that inter
esting black bird such power, the
Kaloches profess Ignorance, and
they dispose of the question by the
customary answer in such cases
i. G., that it was ordained from the
beginning. They have also the ira
Fdition of universal deluge, from
which their ancestors were saved
by some escaping in boats to the
tops of the CHEST mountains.


The Kaloches believe that the
soul exists after death but with
out being subject to reward or pun
ishment. They have few religious
observances, but human sacrifices
form one of them. The victims are
always slaves, and the only slaves
in Russia America are captives ia
ken in war. The master has plen-
ary power of life and death over his
slaves, and cruelty toward their en-
emies is a disgusting feature of all
these savage tribes. In the minds Of
many every stranger is an enemy.


The whole education of these saw
ages from birth is aimed at the
sole end of fortifying their bodies to
endure every species Of hardship.
If they feel cold, they are stripped
naked and seated in a tub of cold
water, Sometimes the Kaloches
are found in the depths Of the forest

The Pacific Railroad now pro-
crossing rapidly to completion, with
some prospect of being open for
travel in 1870, will be the great
highway of the world. Stretching
with its eastern connections, across
the continent from New York to
San Francisco, 4 distance of ., 263
miles, it will afford the shortest and
most comfortable route from Eng
land to China. The traveller from
London to Hong Kong will run up
by rail to Liverpool, and will take
the steamer which will land him at
New York, 3 $50 miles to the west
ward, within eleven days of the
time he left home. Thence across
the country he will fly in the cars
in six days to the Golden Gate,
where another steamer will be in
waiting to carry him the remaining
1900 miles in twcnty-three days.
The whole trip will occupy only for
ty days, fifteen less than the short
est time ever made by the Meditcr-
rancan or Red Sea route. There
will be but two changes, the whole
course will be through the health
lest and pleasantest region in the
world, and the land transit will be
a greatful relief to the monotony of
the ocean trip. These great ndvan-
tages will eventually secure to the
Pacific Railroad the whole trade of
Eastern Asia, and make New York
and San Francisco it's principal
seats. IN. Y. Herald.

In the recent trial of the parties charged
with the murder of Captain j. f. Gruber in
Georgia, Mr. Tu!ly, one of the counsel Cor the
defence, narrated the following story:


The whole case was made up of circumstan.
tial evidence of the oesest character, and to H.
lustrate how guardedly even the beet and stron-
gest circumstantial evidence must be taken, he
referred to trial that took place in this very
court about thirty years ago.


Judge Canonge then presided in the court,
aud Mr. Muzurean was the attorney general.
There then lived on the Bayou road man
about 25 or 80 years DID, He was not an edu-
Gated nor a wealthy man, but he was honest and
had good heart. Having had limb broken,
be was very infrm iu health He made his
livelihood by going to the Bayou St John every
evening and catching fish to sell in the market
the next morning One moonlight night, while
sitting on the bayou fishing as usual, he sa W q
lady dressed 10 white, in company with gen.
tleman, walking on the road beside the bayou.
They were quarrelling as they passed him, and
his attention was attracted by hearing them
quarrel.


After they passed, he resumed his fishing
and waited until he had caught bis usual sup.
ply He then started home with his basket.
As he reached the place known as :he "Coquet"
he heard loud cry. Advancing in the direc-
tion of the sound, be saw woman in a white
gown lying on the pavement, and coming to the
woman, he perceived that dagger had been
stabbed into her bosom. Thinking to relieve
her, he took the dagger by the handle and drew
it out. AS he did SO, watchman grasped him.
The woman was killed.


The poor fisherman was tried for the murder
The case was made out clearly against him.
He had been detected 10 the very act, bending
over the body of the deceased with the weapon
in his hand. He was convicted, and was hung
at Congo Square. About six months after q
trial was going 90 in Judge Canonge's court
A citizen called as juror said be did not wish to
be on the jury, and wished to speak few words
to the judge. The judge allowed him private
conversation. supposnng that he might have
scruples about capital punishment, the judge
asked him if that was the reason he objected to
being on the jury. "No" he answered, ''ths,
is not the reason. I saw the fisherman hung
for the murder of my wife. He did not do it
killed her myself from Jealousy" The judge
sat petrifed. The man made for the door, e.
