Thk Ihrft -itlt'Iiiicllvjcttcer of hist week,
uppcars'to luivo 'come to n second sober
thought on the Tnri IV issue. As the Inlelli
yenccr is n Detuocrnticpapcr, wc copy the
following abstracts, to show that the editor
is nut disposed to favor any such suicidal
questions as free triidr,lo ruin the prosperity
of his . neighbors,' and tho people of this
Stale, ns some of his Democratic cotempo
. raries do. . Aud as that paper is located in
the midst of an Iron and coal district, we
' cannot lielp but admire its independence in
entering Us protest against the folly of its
party, iu advocating the doctrine of frcetrndo
and exposing the fatal results that would
accrue from such a course. Perhaps it
would bo well if our neighbors of the Ihuto
crat would give this matter n litllo more
serious attention, and lay before its road
trs the true condition of things, Instead of
attempting to pull the wool over thcircyts.
Tho Ir.lelligtnrtr replies to nil article in
the llarrisburg Patriot, a radical free trade
Journal, in the following pertinent manner.
THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE. .
"On tlic vital question of the tnriir wo have to
ItMiunt Ih t the Dcnioc-mlic putty li fx unit,
while tho Republicans nrc diriilcd.'' J'uSrict,
March an, 1871.
Tho above is an extract from im article,
the lone of which is euldilale! to place the
nctnooratic. party in an attitude this paper
in not willing lo'assuuie. We have nmii
taiucd heretofore, and now insist, that the
tariff (juestion is not aud cannot be made a
Uriet party issue. Local interests will just
as certainly bo maintained by representa
tives of particular districts as that elections
tiro held. To make an effort to coerce the
democratic pnrty ns a whole into an adop
tion of the views of a certain class of states
men, will, in our judgment, cud disastrous
ly. While our mountains yield -eonl amd iron
ore, our Valleys and prairies t he serials, our
Mil sides wool, our saudy uplands cotton,
and our mountain streams continue to
furnish cheap motive Hwer to operate our
cotton, and woolen mills, so long will a di
versity of interests continue that will dc
niaud peculiar mriuageniL'tit of the tnriif
qucsliou. To refuse to foster the iron and
coal iuturests of Pennsylvania, is to destroy
them, and turn adrift tho thousands of
operatives now employed in these branches
of industry. To what will they resort?
To the plough V Pray if all who are now
1 'tiling iti our furnaces, forges, foundries,
machine shops, rolling mills, coal and iron
mines, are driven to agricultural pursuits
by reason of the prostration of onr iron in
terests, who will be the consumers t I o
coinpeto with tho illy requieted Inbor of I
Europe, is t- redncs wages in this country j
to such a standard ns would place our i
fcardv sons of toil in a ten fold worse con-1
dition than the labowr ol the transatlantic
States. To drive them to farms, is to de
stroy citiea, towns and villages, anil leave
the farmer destitute of a market for his
reductions. To adopt free tmdc, is to
esort to direct taxation to secure the means
to earrv on the eovernmet. Tho article in
the Patriot, starts out with a tiilsenssump- i
tion, quoted above, and after advocating I
tree trado says: "Politicians" have np-
proached its consideration "-tho taritrj
question "very gingerly for tear of offend-
ing some local or selfish interest" find I
further it says: "The principles of the i
Democratic party on the tariff, as wcH as !
on Alt other uaKfmnl questions, nre not i
modified by mere geographical or local iu-
terests. It will be the highth of folly to
xpect that the Democrutie party in tho
uext national convention, will aoate one
1 t or title In the platform to serve the
timidity or grntify the 8"lfishness of a small
vortion of tli people of lVniiKylvania."
The latter sentence has reference to the
recent repeal of tho duly on coal aud salt,
but uudornenth lies the essence of the po
sition assumed by the Patriot, viz : That
the tariff must anil of necessity will be made
n national party issue. In conclusion, the
writer of the articlo makes tins declaration
"The Democratic party will bo obliged

The Washington Chronicle of Tuesday
Icarus from private advices down to Sun
day night, that In North Carolina affairs
are worse than ever for tho Union men.
Within the last fW months the Ku Klux
organization lias mustered in at least twenty
thousnnd men, making in nil n forco of
about sixty thousand In the State, armed
and equipped, prepared to resist the United
States or any other government, should
any attempt bo made to protect the Union
men there. Outrages continue, and the
Ku Klux have assumed pretty much tho
entire control over Gaston, Lincoln and
adjoining counties, where they have not
exercised much authority before. In the
recent fight at Union county, South Caro
lina, over one hundred men from Charlotte,
Xor'.h Cnrolina (the home of Senator elect
Vance) participated. They took their de
parture, armed and equipped, for thesceuo
of action ns openly ns ever a regiment of I
men passed through Washington into Vir
ginia during the 11? war. They returned
lifter the flijlit in the snmo opej way, and
to-day make boasts in public of their deeds
on that occasion. Even the Telegram, pub
lished at Raleigh as an independent news
p:rpcr, is so influenced by public opiuionas
to say "Mat threat of i'uhral interference i
excite tio fear here."
Ti, ..n,..r ivnrrla tl.o i
Federal authorities are defied, as was diute
iu lfiOl. Of the colored men killed at Click
icr, Union couuty, South Carolina, in the
late fight, eight belonged to tho State mili
tia. Wc understand they were first dis
armed and then shot. A prominent citizen
of North Carolina, wh has a national rep
utation, and is everywhere honored and
respected, writes that if immediate relief is
not extended, whiteaud colored Union men
must lice the Stale.

Jeff. Davis o The "Lost Cause."
llit Selma (Aln.) lYess gives s tnore com
plete account of the recent speech of Jeffer
son Davis at that place than that which
was sent North by telegraph. It seems
that he did not, as tho dispatch stated de
cline to express himself ou public affairs;
but emboldened under tho inspiring luflu-3Bco-df
Clio Xcw-IIampsh'ire elecion, pro
claimed not only his unchanged ltcbcl feel
ings, but his sanguine hopes for a resuscita
tion of the "lost cause."' Tfie Prtus says:
About 11 o'clock A brass band appeared
on Alabama St., in front of the hotel, accom
panied by a crowd f VUO or 300 people.
The band discoursed "Tho Bonnie- Blue
Flag," and ou tho cessation of the music,
loud calls wore made for "Davitr,""Davis."
lu answer to the call, tho chief Of the fallen
Confederacy appearetfjon tho balcony, and
addressed the crowd for about 10 minutes
in a strain of impressive eloquence which
told Willi powerful e licet upon his hearers,
He commenced by cutnplimeuting, in gene
ral terms, the people or Alabama, llesaid
he had alwavs loved them, and felt that he
could rest in peace with them forever.
They were bone of his bono and flesh of his
flesh. Alabama and his own State of Mis
sissippi wero yet ono iu principle! ns they
once had bocii ono in territory. Their peo
ple hud scut forth their sons to battle on
the same fields for their rights ns States.
But, asked the speaker with bitter emphasis
are they States now? Yet, proceeding iu an
exuiiani loue, no ucvinrcu iunt state
sovereignty, although defeated in tho late
struggle, will ultimately triumph; its day
of success might not come in his time, but
he would live and die in the belief that it
would surely triumph. He declared that
no nconle on earth had ever suffered as had
the Southern people since the surrender of
the isoimiern armies, and nc tovea tnein
for the fortitude with which they had borno
the oppression heaped upon them. He had
alwavs been willing to give his life for his
people, and now, if any Yankee power
wanted his blood to alone for any action
of the Southern people, they could lake it.
Ou him the Government had done its worst,
and for himself he did not care, but for the
sako of tho people whom he loved, he
would forbear to express more fully the
fcrtinss of bis heart, lie never had asked
iiaiunu IVl Milk HU II.1U MUlll, 11IIU ut ucn:i
youk, for ,)0 fc,t Uwt ,10 'hul flon(J no

applause of the crowd, which had loudly
cheered tho salient points of his speech.
As hu retired, the band struck up "Dixie."

The Pkojectei March to Versailles.
Pakis, April ,1-0 P. M. Ono hundred
thousand Nationals, in three corps, with
two hundred guns, marched via Mon
trouge, Issy, mid Rcuil, nil destined for
Versailles. Fort Valcrien fired all day upon
Reuil, and the living batteries at Mcudon
cannonaded the Nationals debouching
fV.IIVl
Issy on the Veresailles road. Fort Valerie's
cannonaded the rear guard of the Nationals
entering t lie vally between Puteaux nnd
Ruzcnvnl. Some detachments retreated
in disorder. There is uothing certain re
specting those who passed. Valerien.
There are conflicting- versons. One says
they are sArrounded;auothcrsays they c flee
ted n juncton and turned Mcudon, where a
majority of tho Versailles army wns con
centrated. During the operations on the
right there was a fierce engagement between
the artillery nt Mcudon and Parisian artil
lery. Seveial members of the Commune, with
ri d sashes led battalions. It is suid a sup
erior Vcrstullcs officer was taken prisoner.

London, April 3.
The insurgents and the National Guards
marched on tho village of Courbcvuise,
situated u short distance from Fort Mont
Valerien, and occupied it yesterday fore
noon. Tlieyalso occupied tho village of
Puteaux, eleven mile wctt of Paris, ou the
left bank of the Seine. A large force of
Government troops, composed of guns
d'armcs ami cardes foresliers, were detach
cd to check the progress of the insurgents.
The collision between tho forces took place
atCourbevoise, when a sharp engagement
took place.
The insurgent retreated ou the bridge of
Venilly whence they had first issued. Here
a determined stand was made. Hero the
tight lasted for several Uuurs, being carried.!
on unceasiugly on both sules. The insur
gents, however, wero again defeated at this
puint and withdrew into Paris, carefully
coveriug their retreat. This latter precau
tion W!w unnecessary, however, as no pur
suit was attempted. The loss sustaiued

Details of the Late Battle,
London, April 5, Tin following details
hava been received of Lbo recant -UaUlo b
foro Parisv General iJergerot commanded
the right wing of tha 'Communists, with
Oencral Flotireum la Ills rear as a support.
Guueral Ouval eoiuinatided the centre, and
General Kudos tho left Wing1.
Tho left centre suffered mora heavily! in
tho ctiagefnent than the right. hut were pro
tected iu their retreat by tho tire of the forts
held by the Communists.' The Nationals
were badly organized, and having but a
limited supply, were soon out of ammuni
tion. Many tried to return to Paris, but
they found the gates shut, aud men posted
on tbe rampants, who threatened to shoot
them if they attempted to re-enter the city.
Tho contest at Le . Bns Mcudon? was
oxecdingly bloody. The firing of the bat
teries manned by artillerists from tho Ver
sailles army is pronounced fully equal in
spirit nnd effect to the Germany bombard
incut of Paris.
A despatch from Versailles says that the
Government is disposed to show the great
