CONSISTENT —To see the Radicals trying to force negro suffrage on the Southern States whe.'e that class are degraded and brutish, and at the same time reject it in the North* era States where thoir numbers are few. Illinois is doing noble work for the Democ racy. At Pekin the Democrat* carried every ward, and made a gain of three hundred. On the same day, filoomington, heretofore the nuraery of Radicalism, elected a Democratic Mayor by a majority of 235.

The Illinois Radicals are determined to nominate General John M. Palmar, for Gov ernor, notwithstanding his repeated refusals to serve. The speeches of Stevens snd Williams against the President before the "high courv" on Monday were vapid, wishy-washy, pro Auctions, and not better than ordinary news papar articles upon the same subject. Two "manhoods" got into an affray, in New Jersey, one day last week—one was disfranchised forever. An exchange says Butler will go into Gen. Grant's Cabinet. No doubt, if it is not kept locked.

"Show me a Conservative," said a Radical to a Democrat,"and I will show you a trai tor or a dupe," ''Oh ! certainly, air. I show myaelf to you, and you ahow yourself to me." The Turf and Field —which to be posted on such matters—has a letter from Washington, which says that bets are being made on impeachment, and "millions will ohaDge hands whichever way it goes." This is certainly a pretty big estimate. On a new slate of Ben Wade's Cabinet, Horace Greeley is put down for Postmaster General.

BOYLE, of Fayette. Surveyor General, Gen. WELLINGTON ENT, of Columbia. IMPEACHMENT. —The closing scene of the impeachment programme is now being enacted at Washington. Mr. Bingham, the vcomun murderer , has been fitly select ed to make the final argument in favor of impeachment. It was said his argument would close sometime yesterday, when, if no postponement was effected until after the Chicago Convention, the high Court would proceed to render its verdict. '1 he postponement is urged for fear that the patronage of the Presidential office will give Mr. Wade too much influence in that convention. Some of the republican pa pers begin to fear the President will not be impeached. We make no predictions, for it is hard to conjecture what will come out of this Rump Senate. The Latest "Rebel Outrage,'' Brutal Murder by Negroes. One of the raost brutal and savage mur ders ever recorded occurred on Wednes day last, in Barnwell district, South Caro lina, which shows that the seed of Repub licanism, so thickly sown in that state is bearing fruit with a vengeance. We are indebted to a gentleman from that locality for particulars of the horrible tragedy. It appears that, on the day mentioned, the oveiseer on the plantation of Wm. J. Lawton.Esq., (a cousin of General Lawton, of this city,) near Allendale, Barnwell dis trict, South Carolina, told one of the field hands to go to work, commence plowing. To this the negro objected and a difficulty ensued, and the wife of the negro came up and by lier violent language further in creased his ire, and he raised a heavy hoe that be had in his hand and attempted to strike the overseer on the head, but he managed to evade the blow. The negro attempted to strike the second blow, but the overseer drew a pistol and shot him in the face, inflicting a slight wound. lie then retired to his house, and for about an hour all remained quiet. The negro meanwhile, had been among hia fellows, inciting them to violence, and soon a crowd of them assembled around the overseer's house. Nearly all the ne groes on the plantation were in the assem bly, and the overseer, seeing that his life was in danger, jumped out of the window and ran. Shots were fired after him, one of which wounded hiui. He still continued to run, however thus wounded aud bleed ing, and pursued by the savage crowd of brutes, now inflamed to a perfect fury. After a chase of about a mile the over seer reached the house of Mrs. Mallod, whose husband was absent at the time, lie implored her to take him in and shelter him fiom the yelling pursuers who were seeking his life, which she did most wil lingly. Then she took her stand outside the door, and for irore than an hour held the murderers at bay, resisting all their efforts to effect an entrance, and refusing to accede to their demand to give up their victime. They strove to get her away,but she struggled nobly, heroically maintain ing her position, and received many bruis es at their hands. Finding that they could not intimidate this courageous lady, the foremost of them broke in the window of the house, and were quickly followed by others, and the wounded man in Aide soon fell a victim to their savage fury. Shots were fired at him and eleven buckshot entered his breast.— While be lay upon the floor in the agonies of death, negro women ccme up and beat him with sticks, and some of the worst among them declared that they "wo'd not leave without a piece of his flesh to carry home with them." A more brutal or diabolical murder has perhaps never been committed, and those who perpetrated the bloody deed, while in the act of executing their horrid purpose, acted more like demons let loose from Pandemonium than anything in the sem blance of humanity. Wlyle engaged in their murderous'work they were frequently heard to cry out that the Radicals would protect them, thus showing that the responsibility for the ter tible death of this poor man rests with those who have scattered broadcast thro' the South the seeds of bloodshed and dis order. Our informant could not recollect the name of the miudered man, but said that be came from southwestern Georgia. He was a good overseer, and an excellent man in every respect. There were thirty-one negroea engaged in the afl'air, and are now held in confinement ; but if the Radical party has carried the day in South Caro lina there is little hope that anything will ever be done with them,— Savunnaft,(Ga.) Ihpubliciijt. GGT GEORGIA ELECTIONS. —Eighty-four counties give in the Senate 13 Democrats and 12 Radicals. Two niggers are elected to the Senate and twelve to the House.— The official count will he necessary to de cile the choice for Governor. THE KIiXJX KLAN. What are the meaning of these words ? The New York Herald says they mean " The White Man's Band." There is an association under that title in the South, but the same paper declares that it is not confined H that section, and that it extends from Maine to California, numberiug 700,- 00() men. It is vejy certain to our minds that the Ku Klux principle has been opera ting in the cities ot the North, and that working men have combined upon it. What but hostility to the negro doctrines has up set such places as Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Williamsport, Altoona, and recently Chica go ? These were strougholds of Radical ism, but the bouc and sinew, it is well known, have formed combination which brought down the Radical party and set up the Democrats. What produced that mighty change in Michigan a few weeks ago 1 A State, Radical by 30,000 majori ty, voted down a Constitution because of the negro doctrines incorporated in it, by 40,000 majority. What doubled the Democratic majority in Connecticut ? It is Ku Klux. The White Mans Hand. Such associations will spring up where tyranny reigns. They have done so in all ages and in all countries. And why not North and South ? Think of it.— States are to be negroized ; or raiher are negroized. There is the fact staring the world in the face. In the South, negroes are voters, negroes are jurymen, negroes are squires, negroes are members of the Legislature. And that infernal Bureau, organizes negroes into Leagnes, and causes a hateful black despotism over the proper ty, civil rights, hbeities and lives of mil lions of white American citizens. Soon the North will be made to share the fruits of this policy, for nigger Congressmen will appear from the South and claim to sit side by side with the white members in the Capitol at Washington. Co to that city now ; visit the Senate and House and see the dirty lounging niggers filling the galleries ! Yes, Yes, let the Ku Kluxes be formed all over the South and the North. What has llickman, Broornal, Kelly, Stevens, Wade, Summer, others advocated ? Why the nigger doctrines, in their most degrading form. The Work ing men of the North, in its cities, have heard the threats of the Radical gentle men, and are aware of the fate that is in store for them and their families here at home. They must, tat, sleep, vote in company with the nigger. If there are not societies everywhere in the North of the Ku Klnx Klan, there ought to be, and soon will be. " The White Man's Band, " that is the antidote to tyranny, taxation, plunder and nigger equality. The Kluxers are not windy speakers, grubbing logicians, or platform makers. They are men of action. The great West will soon have a complete organizations of the kind.— And now white men of the Atlantic States, —both in town and country, — why not enter into this grand organization, which the New York Herald assures us, numbers 700,000 men, and extends from Maine to California. It will he the thunder stcrm to clear our political atmosphere of the fogs of niggerisrn. It will send to their graves the miserable scoundrtls who wish to govern and oppress the country through a degrading fanaticism. It will restore to the American People, peace, prosperity and Union. — Jeffertmian.

These innocent recreations among the •'trooly loyl" of the South, are happy in dications of the advancement of morality, intelligence, and refinement, creditable to the superior influence of the Frecdmen's Bureau, and the numerous Yankee school rnarnis. On Summing up—The Vital Question at Issue --Trib vine. There are only Seven " Managers " of the Impeachment Trial, and as they are feeble men, incompetent Lawyers, the Tribune takes the case out of their hands and sums it up " ourself." The argument of Mr. Evarts is quite too formidable for such '• feather weights" as Bingham, and Boutwell, and so the Tribune antici pates them. Well, the Tribune via* a Great General during the War. Why not a great Law yer now ? It moved the Army '• On to Richmond," and commanded at " Bull Run." It assumed the control oflmpeach ment, deciding that it is neither a Judicial nor a Legislature proceeding. And, as it is purely Political , who so proper to man age it as the Tribune , whose Editor did not. it is true, succeed in disgracing his Country hy Peace upon the "best attain able terms " not quite succeed in making us a new Constitution, but who did brin<* on the u Battle of Bull Run," help Jeffe£ son Davis out of Prison, and, with the aid of Charlie Spencer and Waldo Ilutch ings, run down the Republican vote of this city from 32,0wn petition by the District Court of said Dis t.ict.
