DABBLING IN POLITICS AGAIN.
The papers Inform us that a delegation
of the Maryland Synod of the English
Lutheran Church, which lias been in
session at Washington for some days
past, called neon General Grant, at his
residence, on the afternoon of the 14th
inst., for the purpose of informing him
that they (the preachers,) were more
wedded to politics than to religion, and
that they desired to see him (Grant,)
I*—.M.-r.e <ne ■uniuarchares.—
After.tho clerical demagogues had been
introduced to the General., one of their
number said to him:
*• General, I hope sis you have 1 •.vu able under
God to save the counlrv In the past, you will also
be able to do it in the future."
General Grant made no reply, but
continued to smoke his cigar. The
pause continued for several aiinutes,
when the silence was broken by another
so-called minister, who, with a smile
on his hypocritical face, said:
*• When we come to see you again. General, wo
hope to find you in a larger ami whiter residence
than this."
After a minute or two ,Gen. Grant
took his cigar from his mouth, cleared
his throat, and put himself in speaking
attitude. The clerical hypocrites rub
bed their hands in anticipation of hear
ing u set speech from the great smoker.
The General, after eyeing thorn a mo
ment, delivered the following carefully
prepared speech in reply to the gentle
men wearing white neck-ties:
M I h’-ve no dcsiro for miv higher position, or
uu.rinow*.or|.unuiii uuuc<. uooa nuernoon,
yeiillemeii.”
The General resumed his cigar and
walked into nu adjoining' room. This
was a seasonable and most proper re
buke to the clerical demagogues who
waited upon the General to gabble on
politics. It was an insult they richly
deserved. So-called ministers have
been permitted to meddle too much in
politics, and to their devilish teachings
more than to any other cause could he
traced the fanaticism aiid wickedness of
tlie Lincoln administration. We are
glad to seo that General Grant has no
affection for these hypocrites. It is pot
probable that another delegation of
ministers will trouble him very soon.
Nr. Lincoln's Loyalty,
The friends of the “ late lamented ”
those wlio persist in according, to him
more patriotism and vir*; de than even
Washington possess**', have recently
dfecnvmrocl by an ulftcinl ,i nt cmont of
the worldly af*‘ a i rs 0 f the great martyr,
at the 0 f his “taking off,” that he
was ip c j ie blissful possession of Govern*
J h p ‘at boijds to the amount of about
eighty thousand dollars ! and they point
to the fact ns still another evidence of
his great loyalty J When we take into
consideration the fact that the bonds in
question are subject to no taxation
whatever, and that the laboring com
munity are taxed exorbitantly to pay
an interest in gold equal to nine percent,
on the loyal Lincoln’s bonds, it becomes
a question with us as to who is the loy
al man—he who boasts of and measures
his loyalty by the amount of his bonds,
or ho who submits quietly to inordinate
taxation that the Government may be
enabled to pay such loyal leeches an in
terest in gold. We doubt whether Mr.
Lincoln would have died possessed of
Government bonds to the amount of one
dollar, had they been subject, like other
property, to taxation. The true patriot
stops not to count the cost of his patriot
ism, but freely gives Jus accumulated
wealth, however great or small, for the
defence of his country. How many
such patriots can we boast of in the late
conflict? The truly loyal men were
those who stood by the Constitution,
every article of which was repudiated
by our Radical rulers, and outside of
which Mr. Stevens boasts of acting; and
the day is not far distant when the peo
ple, who have been duped and misled,
will so declare from one end of the con
tinent to the other.

The returns of the rm.*nt election show

may now be asked, will these repudia
ted Representatives resign, or will they
change their course, and vote in confor
mity to the latest expression of the peo
ple’s will? We shall see!
The New York Times gives its opin
ion, that the recent defeats the Radical
party has sustained, 11 are due to the fact
that it has gone too far in its action
‘outside the Constitution,’ hi assorting
for the National Government absolute
authority over the States, and in disre
gard of the fundamental law and usages
of the Republic, already. Whether it
can recover its ground by going further,
the future must disclose. But we are
inclined to think that the Northern
States will not surrender their own
rights quite so complacently as they
have consented to the overthrow of
those ot the South'.”
So fanatical had the -Radical loaders
become that they had persuaded them
selves tlie mosses would follow wher
ever they led the way. In an hour
which has proved fatal to them, they
submitted the question of negro suffrage
to tlie people of. Ohio, and it has been
strangled to death in the house of its
supposed friends. Ohio has declared
with an emphasis which it will be well
for the Radical Congress to regard, that,
within her State boundaries, the doc
trine of “ manhood suffrage” will not
be tolerated..
The Radicals are beginning to quar
rel about the nomination of Grant for
the Presidency. The out-spoken negro
equality leaders (the back-bone of the
party,) protest against a milk-and-water
nominee. Greeley says that any back
ing-down on the negro question will re
sult in a worse Republican defeat than
Gen. Scott sustained in 1852, no matter
who may lead the ticket. The path of
Radicalism fs becoming rough 1

UAt/mmitF: Oct, 20,—The funeral of yougKlle
tnler, killed on Thursday night by the negro
troops shooting him, took place this afternoon,
at Baltimore Cemelry. It was attended by the
Virst MUllla Regiment, of which he was a mem
ber, and portions of other regiments in full uni
form. It Is estimate! that there v**r.* i."i i'i-.i'-
snml persons nt the funeral.
W bile the troops were returning, la the dm’;
oftho evening, on Baltimore street, near I’ost
Ofllhe avenue, a mob of negroes throxv bricks in
to tlteir ranks, and a pistol was tired Into the
ranks of the military. This caused the troons to
rapidly disorganize, and leave the ranks tor a
short lime under great excitement'. A large
crowd soon assembled, and serious consequences
were apprehended. Search was made for the of
fending negroes, and one of them after a desper
ate chn.se by a dozen or more whiles, arrested,
severely bandltd and handed over to the police.
An Ineffectual search was made for the others.
This ntTair caused a good deal of excitement
among other colored peonte who,
imm oiscieium ana dread of consequences, re
tired from the streets.
Tho negroes of Baltimore, and indeed
throughout the South, are committing
outrage* to such an extent that inter
ference by tho Government will become
necessary. Tho whito-livcred villains
who surround file Freedmen’s Bureau
and tlie military satraps should be held
responsible for every murder, rape and
outrage com united by the blacks. They
are the men who are urging on the ne
groes to deeds of violence. L'ntil the
five military tyrants and the infamous
Frcedmen’s Bureau wore sent South,
the whites and blacks lived together in
peace and harmony. Now, all is con
fusion and ill-feeling. The negroes do
little or no work, go armed to political
meetings, and are committing all sorts
of outrages. The killing of young El
lemicr is but one of thousands of simi
lar crimes.
“ AXY POUT IX A HTOXtH.*’
It is wonderful with what unanimity
the Radicals everywhere now agree up
on the necessity of nominating General
Grant for the Presidency. A month
ago, and before the 4 Manhood Suffrage .»
party could be made, believe that U-. e i r
pet idea of negro equality and
would bo repudiated by the S% tP =of
Ohio and Pennsylvania, they were not
prepared to take “a pig tap pokeas
they called it, but rather favored the
nomination of a thorough ..bred Radical
hke Stevens, or KeUey , or Sumner, or
Wade-Hirunkon Beu' ,Vade, we mean—
in order to comjio’. the people of the
North, as well s,s the South, to submit
to negro rule. The late elections have
convinced tho W ire-pullers that they are
on the wrong irack, so they gracefully
veer around in the face of the wind, and
run off before it, with n certainty, ns
they think, of making that haven to
wards which all politicians turn their
longing cye?>, success. In order to do
so the more effectually, they make a
scapegoat of, and hawl lustily for the
man who, of all others, they would not
have chosen one month ago. If any
thing more was required by the people
to convince them that the Radical lea
ders think more of power and patronage
than they do of the prosperity and ele
vation of the country, this last dodge
should be sufficient..
HSyWill Gen. Grant allow himself to
be made a tool of by a set of thieving,
conniving, disunion politicians? Is he
so dishonest, so unscrupulous, so igno
rant of his own unfitness for civil office,
so subservient'to the selfish purposes of
demagogues aud parties, as to consent
to give up his present high and inde
pendent position, for the doubtful hon
or and more than doubtful chance of
being chosen President of the United
States ns the candidate of the disunion
party? If lie will, then he will prove
himself an absolute ass.
Hon. Lewis,D. Campbell, of Ohio,
formerly a prominent Radical member
of Congress, and more recently United
States Minister to Mexico, in a late
speech at an interior town of Ohio, came
out strongly, and even indignantly,
against negro suffrage, and put himself
upon the platform of conservatism gen
erally. This is another indication of
tlie change in public sentiment, produ
ced by the evident intention of the men
leading the Radical party to change this
government from a republic to a des
potism.
The people lire paying Gen. Sheridan
about $OO a day for military services.—
Witli vanity supreme, and aspirations
for the Presidency which is very far be
yond his reach, he is showing himself
around the country, instead of attending
to his duties. But while he is visiting
and electioneering in Now England, the
people are thundering warning in Ids
ears.
Wade and Chase have been quarrel
ling for 'some years us to which of them
should have the leadership in Ohio.—
The people have settled it by repudiat
ing both. They have turned Wado out
of the Senate, and rejected the negro
amendment, which Chase, neglecting
his Judicial duties at Washington, went
out to Ohio to carry by fifty thousand
majority!
The Democracy have accepted their
great victory with a calm moderation
which is in marked contrast with their
opponents. There have been no insults
offered, no molestation of .any man in
his business, no attempt at proscription
for political opinion. This is as it
should lie, and is only another evidence
of the propriety of effecting a change.
Hdnnicutt’s interpretation oflladi
cal “ reconstruction” is, that a girl, or
boy ton years old, or an aged or infirm
old man or woman of sixty, (negro, of
course,) can apply the match or torcli as
easily as a robust man of twenty-five.”
A little of the drum-head code should
be the deserts of that fellow.
It is reported that the wealthy bank

banished or compelled to leave Mexico,
four times, and was once a prisoner to
the United States. He has. headed suc
cessful and unsuccessful revolutions, has
been in supreme power and has been
deposed. •At times a lawful officer, at
times an insurgent, he has been alter

does he owe his release. It will be well
if he heeds the lesson and foregoes the

not our neighbor to have borne this in

most ignorant voters to be found i.i this
or anyother country? Would itnothave
been wise to insist upon a little education
for them with so preponderate a political
power?
And also*, another Radical paper, the
'limes admonishes against its advocacy
of negro suffrage: '
The Rochester Democrat, now that the
people of Ohio have rejected negro suf
frage, proposes that Congress shall force
it upon them by law, This is in accord
ance with the bill brought into Congress
by Senator Sumner at the last session,
which received the support of the Radi
cal members and of the Radical prcs% It
was urged by Mr. Simmer himself; on
the ground that we had the same right to
force negro suffrage upon the Northern
States that we had upon the Southern;
and that it would be the height of injus
tice to adopt a different treatment for the
two sections. Is it not at all unlikely
'that this is the ground which will now
be taken, In view of the elections, by the
extreme wing of the Radicals. They
will scarcely be able, however, to force it
upon the Republican party.
THE Itn.F. OF THE SWORD,
One of the political lessons learned by
mankind in nineteen centuries of ex
perience is, that any nation, in order to
he free, must keep its military power in
subordination to its civil power. All
human history, from the days of Greece
and Home, down to our times, proves
that wherever the bayonet and the
sword have usurped supreme dominion
—wherever the army and navy have
been allowed to transcend their true
function of defending the sovereignty of
the law and to substitute the rule of
force in the place of civil authority—
there and then has despotism, of the
most extreme and cruel type, superced
ed the gentle sway of justice and over
thrown popular liberty. Are we mind
ing that solemn and momentous lesson?
Let us see./ Certain Generals, sent into
the South to exercise, under certain acts
of a revolutionary “Rump” Congress,
despotic military, power over several
millions of our white fellow-citizens,
have been dismissed from their posts by
the President for grossly exceeding
their almost unlimited power. A po
litical party In tliervottn, iviiicii, miner
than lose control of the Government,
and the chance of plunder, would put a
Caesar at the head of it, is getting up
imposing party demonstrations, in hon
or of the Generals who have audaciously
trodden the Constitution and the laws
under their feet, and assumed the pow
ers of absolute dictators. Will sensible
white freemen, in any part of this coun
try,'longer support such a party? If
they will, then, indeed, may mankind
despair of popular self-government, and
settle down to the rule of the sword.
Sa»EECM OF EX PRRiIDKNT PIFJtCK
At Concord, New Hampshire, Wednes
day evening, Oth iust., at the close of a
serenade, Ex-President Pierce delivered
the following brief address:
“It has been so long your part and
mine, my friends and neighbors, to breast
and smile back defiance at what wo have
believed to be the torrent of evil, that one
hardly knows how to receive notes of
triumph. lam free to confess, however,
that the results which you have come to
announce are not a surprise to me. There
have been mutteriijgs, and some distinct
enunciations, which proclaim them pret
ty significantly to my mind. Not the
least of these was the encouragement and
hope which came down to us from our
neighboring State— Montcigrc Vcrtc— a
noble State, represented by high men for
years—Judge Collamor, Governor Foot,
Hiland Hall and others of like stamp.—
Then came the 18,000 fresh voices from
Maine, sneaking encouragement and
hope, [Oncers and applause.] Then
Montana—far-off , Montana—came over
the mountains with her trumpet-tone,
saying: Rally to thorGspueofyoiu coun
try.
Wave Munich, all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalry.”
For we are striking hands with you in
this groat buttle for union and indepen
dence. Then came California (applause
and cheers) booming over capo and ocean
to assure us that the Pacific has recovered
its feet and is ready for the great conflict;
and now IJe&rn we may hope for victory
in Ohio, (applause,) which seemed like
hoping agalustall hope. And finally old
sturdy Pennsylvania (great cheering,)
which holds Independence Hall,
speaks words of terror to the wrong and
encouragement to the right. I warn
you, my friends, to note the fact that
these triumphs, whatever they may be,
are no party triumphs. The people have
risen In their majesty, with a conscious
ness of their power, pud cjisrogiyrding
party lines and party aspirations, have
been silently considering what belongs
to them, their children and their coun
try. I think the great battle has been
fought and won. if the results are sig
nificant in nothing else they are in this—
that the white race—our race—the Ger
man, Italian, French, Irish, Scotch, and
Anglo-Saxon people—are still, to be the
controlling power on this continent. It
is for you, now, to remember your duties
—your fidelity to principles—what you
owe to your neighbors—whether they
agree with you or not —and to take care
that tde public weal sutler no detriment
at your hands. I thunk you for your very
kind greeting; and not having strength
in,my present state of health to say more,
I bid you all good night.

unenviable if not criminal light. The
Constitution of Pennsylvania allows her
volunteer soldiery to vole either in camp
or by proxy, but notwithstanding that
this is a lime of perfect peace and that
Pennsylvania has jio volunteers either in
Slate or United Slates service, our delec

soldier votes anyhow for the Radical

to proceed to Fort Delaware to receive
the ballots of regular soldiers, formerly

a bold and glaring swindle, but tocnp the

On Saturday last the injunction re
straining the return judges of Philadel
phia from counting in the returns of the
election the bogus returns of a soldier
vote from Fort Delaware, was taken up,
and witnesses were examined.
Mr. T, O. Webb was sworn and testi
fied as follows:
“ These returns were received at thoProthonoto
ry’« ofllcoonthellthof Octoberotraldday; they
did not corao by moll, but were brought by two
persons, who represented themselves to bo com
missioners appointed for the purpose; did not
know the persons; never saw them before; could
not tell whether the Return Judges had counted
these returns; Mr. Hancock, the president of the
hoard, had filed a return, but it la sealed, and'it
1b not known what It contained."
Mr. Thomas 13. Reeves, was sworn and
testified as follows:
“ I am clerk In the Prothonotary's oflice of the
Court of Common Pleas; these returns were
brought to me yesterday, and I made copies of
them and sent them to the Return Judges • don’t
know who the parties were; the returns were
open, not. inclosed in an envelope; they were not
scaled; all that the person said was that there
was a return from Fort Delaware; would know
that person If I saw him; have seen him In the
ollico frequently before the election. The man
did not say lie was authorized to bring the re
lurh; he merely said they were returns from Ft.
Delaware."
Justice Thompson remarked during
the proceedings, that prhua facie the
fraud appeared to bo so gross and pal
pable that he issued the injunction, and
as Clio case aiumi, ulieu the five clays
were up, he would confirm the injunc
tion.
The Justice fnrlhor stilted that it ap
peared to be thought that return judges
wore merely ministerial ofllcers ; it was
overlooked that they were judges, and
had the right to exercise some judgment
in the reception of returns.
The judges were not in court, and a
rule was entered to show cause why au
attachment should iiotissue for contempt,
returnable on tho 15th.
There were one hundred and thirteen
(113) of these bogus soldier votes counted
for Judge Williams, which when sub
tiacted from the total poll of that candi
date, will make Judge Sharswood’s ma
jority correspondingly greater.

The proposition to raise a subscription
for Mrs. Lincoln’s benefithas received the
sanction of that lady, and about five hun
dred letters have been addressed to prom
inent politicians and colored clergymen,
calling upon them for donations. A book
has also been opened in Mr. Brady’s rooms
on Broadway, where her wardrobe is on
exhibition, for the same purpose. The
stream of visitorsstill continues, although
but, few purchases are made. Among
those daily to bo seen-in the establish
ment Is Mrs. Elizabeth Kcckley, a Wash
ington fnodustc, who was also the milliner
of Mrs Lincoln, when that distressed and
ill-used person was the Lady of the White
House. She remarks rather plausibly
that no such out-cry is made in France
when the Empress of the French sells
her wardrobe, and as Eugene never wears
the same court dress twice, and being the
acknowledged leader of the fashion, her
cast off raiments fetch enormous prices,
and on the day appointed for the sale ex
travagant bids are offered, so in reality
she rather makes than loses by these rap-*
id changes of toilet. Mrs. Lincoln, how
ever, is under a number of disadvantages
in selling her wardrobe, as she neither
was nor is a loader of fashion, and In ad
dition her dresses wore bought at a period
when gold was at 2.50, and everything
selling at double its value oven in green
backs. Now, dry goods are worth about
a third of what they then cost, and in ad
dition to that, being second hand, people
expect to got them for less price, ahe al
so remarked that people here had not
that reverence for loyalty and former
greatness as iu Europe, nor do they pay
particular respect to relics, and a new

LETTKII FKOM CHICAGO
gives a statement of Mrs. Lincoln's estate,
and theambuntshe bas.orought to have,
in ready money and real estate :
[COUBESrONDKSCE OK TILE WOULD-]
Mrs. Lincoln was the owner of a fash 1
ionable four-story marble front house,
bought two years ago at a cost of sld,oi)o,
which could be sold to-day for $23,000.
This dwelling is said to have been com
pletely furnished iu the most elegant
stylo,'which furniture was sold at action,
realizing almost their full retail value
when Mrs. Lincoln discontinued house
keeping last summer. At the same time
she parted with a valuable carriage and
span of horses, besides the usual appro
priate accessories of a ll rat-class equipage,
so that at the beginning of the summer,
or rather late in the spring, Mrs. Lincoln
must have had at least $lO,OOO in ready
money. She spent the summer very qui
etly’ and economically’ at Racine, situated
a few miles from Lake Michigan. , It was
pretty generally published that Mr. Lin
coln had accumulated $B-3,000, which were
invested in government bonds on deposit
in Washington. This, with the addition
of Mrs.'Lincoln's personal estate and the
$2-3,000 appropriated by Congress,, makes
the value of the personal estate inherited
by Mrs. Lincoln to bo about $llO,OOO to
say nothing of the real estate described
in the inventory of the Lincoln estate re
cently published.
It is reported that Mrs. Lincoln has
withdrawn from nalo the “few simple
articles” she left with Mr. Brady, in Now
York, to bo sold that she might Jive, sun
dry friends having made up the sum she
wants on condition that she “will not
make a fool of herself again.”
[From the Albany Express, (Radical) October 7.]
It is an exceedingly ungracious task to
visit censure upon one who has occupied
bo elevated a position as Mrs. Lincoln,
and who was so closely allied to tho man
whose memory the nation loves as it
loves no other. To those who have rigid
instincts such work must be repuiiganti
and perhaps it is better to pass by with
silence what cannot be mentioned with
out pain and mortification. T.he publica
tion of the facta is itself the severest cen
sure.
The press and the people very properly
severely condemn Mrs. Lincoln for the
manner in which sho has chosen to make
her \Vants known to tha world. ‘Prob
ably not one woman in a thousand, en
joying a salary of seventeen hundred dol
lars a year, would have chosen to sell any
of the articles which .are advertised; all
would have certainly preferred to do the
best thing possible with the income at
their disposal, or at least rather have
‘starved than had themselves and their
goods “advertised largely.” The lady
occupies disposition of ono seeking an
unpleasant notority, or that of a terma
gant with arms akimbo’, shaking her
clenched hand at the country, and forget
ful of her dead husband and all manner
of propriety, demanding gold as the price
of silence and the.per,’/ that is her due be-,
cause she was the wife of a President. It
is not possible to imagine a more shock
ing exhibition, or one more calculated to
put the country to the blush in her behalf.
For her own sake and that of tho people
whom her nobly represented,
she might better have died and been for
gotten.
The facts are just thes.o: Judge Davis,
Lincoln’s administrator, reported that
the estate was worth S7o,OUU. Congress
gave Mrs. Lincoln the President's unex
pired year’s salary, and also gave her SJo,-
UUO besides, the same as was allowed the
the late Mrs.. General Harrison. Con
gressman Wentworth pressed Mrs. Lin
coln’s claim for a hundred thousand dol
lars, but Congress did not think such a
gift justifiable. There are other facts
which should see the light, and perhaps
would explain Mrs. Lincoln’s present
straightened circumstances. Among such
i’uutw iw tliiw, thnf. ji hill of $13,000 for jew
ellry purchased by Mrs. Lincoln, was pre
sented To Congress and disallowed, and
thesecretsol that committcecoulddivuJgo
most remarkable items that through Mrs.
Lincoln were presented for payment. We
hope these things will ail be made public,
and that it also may bo made known
what the forty huge boxes sent to .Chica
go from the White House, after the death
of Mr. Lincoln contained. Let tho coun
try know the fact that it required an ap
propriation of one hundred thousand dol
lars to make good the spoliation at .the
White House, and let it be proved who
had the benefit of such plundering.
Her conduct throughout the ndminis
tratiop of her husband was mortifying to
all wlio respected him, and a source of
satisfaction to the enemies of the country.
The gaudy bad taste'with which she
dressed, and the constant effort to make
a show of herself disgusted all observers.
She was always trying to meddle in pub
lic affairs, and now she will have it
known to the whole world that she ac
cepted costly presents from corrupt con
tractors. Alter the death of her husband
her conduct was disgraceful. She linger
ed in the White House, and when she
had to leave it, sought to appropriate as
her personal property articles that be
longed to the government.

The charges against the defendant wore
that he had violated the Constitution of
the United States; and that he had com
mute I treason against humanity:
1. *lu this that he did wickedly con
spire with Sumner, Stevens and others
unjustly to procure the impeachment
and dismissal from office of Andrew John
son, President of the United States, with
intent to usurp the powers of the govern
ment for the purposes of self aggrandize
ment and to perpetuate the powers of
the infamous “ Rump,” and it was fur
ther charged, that although the defen
dant was one of the Judges of impeach
ment under the Constitution, he publicly
condemned the President without evi
dence, and in advance of the proposed
trial.
2. That as one of the Ringleaders of
the sect of Republicans he conspired as
aforesaid to overthrow the laws of prop
erty, by which every man has secured to
himself the products of his own hard ear
nings, with intent to establish the agra
rian rule, that all property sjiould be equ
ally divided amongst men, and that there
fore the virtuous, industrious and thrifty
citizen should divide with the vicious
idle and thriftless, every Saturday night’
and oftener if necessary, the colored
“ cuss” to have the largest share if pos
sible. 1
3. ‘That he advocated the monstrous
doctrines of‘negro equality, and the in
termingling of the n*ces ; whereby he in
tended to debase and degrade the white
to the level of the black man, and in fur
therance of this terrible purpose, he de
signed to give the black man the ballot
box, the jury box, and the right to be
elected to office, in the Northern States.
4. That he conspired as aforesaid, to
destroy the union of these States, by pas
sing laws excluding ten of the States from
a-participation in the privileges of the
government, and by creating and put
ting m force, live military despotisms, in
their room, giving to five military sat
raps absolute power over the lives the
property and the liberty of .millions of
white men, m derogation of the pecla
ration of Independence and the Consti
tution of the united States, all with in
tent to perpetuate the power of the

5 That he conspired as aforesaid, to
confer the right of Bulfrage upon the
blacks of the South, by an act of Congress
at the same time disfranchising the
whites thus intending iu the end to ex
clude the whites from power, and 'confer
it on the debased and brutalized nen-n

it is difficult to characterize properly
the heinousness of this wanton, unpro
voked outrage. It Is easy, however, to
trace it to the atrocious teachings of the
, vile,Radical incendiaries, now here more
recklessly vile and unprincipled than in
the city of Baltimore, stimulating the
unbridled passions of'the ignorant and
excitable negro race- torthe perpetration
of the blackest crimes,-that ill-begotten
wickedness can .conceive.
'-'’The forbearance of the white people of
Baltimore under the circumstances, and
the promptness and efficiency of the po
lice in preventing an imminent' and ter
rible riot, are truly to be commended, os
is also the immediate order of the police
authorities prohibiting all procsssionsor
assemblages of armed men within the
limits of Baltimore, other than the regu
larly organized militia of the Stale, ami
forbidding parades by night of bodies of
men, whether armed or unarmed, with
out special authority from the proper oill
cera. ...
Similar outrages have too frequentlyof
late been perpetrated by armed bodies of
negroes in mauyof the Southern cities,
and have compelled the promulgation, in
many instances, by the military com
manders or their subordinates, of orders
precisely similar to those issued by the
Baltimore Board of Police- The assem
blage of armed negroes throughout the
State of Louisiana had become a source
of so much danger to the public peace,
that Gen. Mower, commanding, long ago
issued an order of this description. .Simi
lar orders have, we believe, been found
essentia! to the public peace in Mobile,
Savanah, Richmond, and other cities,
where negro riots have often required the
interference of the federal troops.
The lesson from all this is plain. The
bXcess to which the Radical incendiaries
are everywhere stimulating their passive
and ignorant dupes, the Ireedmen, will
recoil upon the latter, and invoke upon
them a terrible punishment. The laws
must be enforced. Thepublio peace must
be maintained, even at the expenses of
curtailing the licentiousness of the newly
freedmon, .the pots of the
Radical faction, now rapidly becoming
powerless itself.

The late negro voting in Alabama
upon the question of holding a conven

plan of reconstruction, exhibited the
fact that the colored men marched to
the polls in regular military stylo, un
der the working of tho machinery of tho
secret Loyal Leagues. Every negro un
derstood that he was subject to punish
ment for neglecting to vote, or for depo
siting his ballot in opposition to the
command of his leader. Before leaving
the lodge room a ballot was placed in
the hand of each freedman, and he do*-
posited that under a sworn obligation.
This is freedom of the elective-franchise
