TIIK -Republicans of Evan.-%• 11 held a large and enthusiastic convent ion on Saturday evening, at which the Hon AVM 13A Jv Kit, present Mayor, was nominated for re clcc!i.an without opposition. His election is regarded as a forgone conclusion.

Tin State Auditor is enduring intense mental agony, occasioned bv excruciating anxiety to distribute the School Fund among the counties, as required by an act of the dcfunct General Assembly. To keep it will put thirty or forty thousand dollars in his pocket—an affliction which he is making desperate efforts to escape! "I'ity the sorrows of a poor, old man."

SOMI of the Iowa papers have nominated General BKI.KNAP for President in 1872. We think there is I lit. one military man who stands a ghost of a cliance for the Kepublican nomination. Should General GRANT fail of re-nomination, an eminent civilian will head the ticket and there are many of them amply qualified for that high position.

KICII.VOND, Virginia, with a population but a little in excess of fifty thousand, now has seventy-two schools in op-eration—thirty-two for white and colored children. The average enrollment of scholars is 3,400, and these will have been educated at a cost of about $12,50 at the expiration of the scholastic year. Facts like these in the general barrenness of the South are like oases in a desert. In the message of the Mayor of the city, to which we are indebted for these figures, occurs the following striking pasture happiness of a people.

TIIK Jewish Messenger publishes a call to the Jewesses of America to complete the National Washington Monument by their own individual subscriptions. This journal makes the appeal in the interof gratitude and patriotism, saying in an eloquent article on the subject: "We prefer that Israelites in America should be Americans in every relation o^ life, and distinct only in their fealty to tho faitli of their fathers. Nevertheless, it is fitting that the Jewish race, ever vigorous and earnest for liberty's sake, should record, in language not to be mistaken, their recognition of the inestimable services rendered mankind Liv WASHINGTON. The Jewesses of America will earn the kindest and most enduring ac-

knowledgments of America's sons, they

will rear a proud monument for themselves, in working together for die accomplishment of this National duty."

A FEW days ago the Indianapolis Sentinel, in tha course of a bitter personal attack upon Senator MORTON-, charged that his son, JOHN MORTON, held "a position under the officer who has the Alaska neal fur business under his special keeping," and more than intimated that the Senator had procured die appointment for his son. It happens that there is no such "officer." The "Alaska seal fur business" is prosecuted by a commercial firm, under a contract with the Government, for which they were the highest bidders. MR. JOIIN MORTON is in their employ, on a salary not larger than is usually paid to a competent book-keeper. In this connection a correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal states tha' "shortly after President GRANT'S inauguration, a Cabinet officer sent to the Senate the name of JOHN MORTON for an important and lucrative appointment under the Government. As soon as Senator MORTON was advised of the fact, he requested that the name might be withdiawn, as he had no desire that his son should hold any position whatever, under the Government, and the nam? was recalled at his request."

THE brief remarks of Senator HOWE, at the conclusion of Senator SUMNER'S speech, on Monday, are worthy of conspicuous republication. He said: "Today the Republican party has experienced that same anguish which swelled in the breast of C.KSAR when, having already been struck by CASI A and ('ASSIUS, he saw the third dagger uplifted by the hand of a dear friend, and there was wrung from his agonized bosom this exclamation: 1't tu Brute." For lo day we had heard that Senator who had so earn estly urged upon the reluctant Senate to purchase those rugged, far-oil regions the North Pole turning a deaf ear to the echoes which brought back his own exultant prophesy, that our city could be nothing le=s than the whole American Continent, with her gates open to all the surrounding seas. To-day the Senator arose not only to oppose the annexation of an island at our very doo s, but denounces as a criminal a President who has ventured in the exercise of a strictly constitutional prerogative lo advise its acquisition. HeillowE^ had sought die

privilege of entering in an appearance here for that illustrious respondent. He would file

SINCEIIEI.Y believing that no greater misfortune could befall this nation than the speedy return of the Democratic party to power and believing also, with equal sincerity, that repeated and bitter attacks by Republicans upon the Administration can not fail to weaken the Republican party, and strengthen the opposition, we can but deeply regret that

Mr. SUMNER has chosen to make such attacks. That the Statesman whose life work has been one long, persistent and consistent struggle against the principles and acts of the Democracy, should now be engaged in efforts which send a thrill of delight to the heart, and a flush of joy to the face of every Democrat in the en-, tire country, must be an occasion of sadness to his best friends. Mr. SUMNER knows full well that every blow he strike at the Administration spends its force on the party of which lie has long been an honored and beloved leader. He knows too, that so far as practical political re suits are concerned, he i- doing more to advance the purjjoses of the Democracy, than a hundred of their ablest men could do in years. We can not conceive how such a roan can find pleasurein the conj templation of such work, how one ot the chief architects of our grand Kepublican edifice can piea,-e or satisfy himself with t! post of chitf ariileris: in i'.s bombardment.

A I. A HUE and enthusiastic meeting was held ir. the Board of T: tide room=, Indiana ..lis, on Monday afternoon, for the purpose of arranging the preliminaries for the meeting of the American As-ocia-tion for the Advancement of Scic-iree, which is to convene in that city on the 1

Gtli of August next. A local committee of one hundred citizens, headed by Mayor MAC.UI.KY. was vppnin'.cd, together with a number of .-rib committees, to take charge of the arrangements. During the convention an excui.-i^n will be made to the coal fields of this State, as we!! as to this citv and Xe\v Albany.

HKIIE is Tlie first gun of the campaign in Ohio: At the r-pecia! election fur Iiepresentative in -lack.-on county, on Thursday, the Kepublican candidate had four hundred majority—a Kepublican gain of 187 over the last election. This result is significant, and shows how the popular cunent is .-e ir:g in that State. The Democrats were confident of carrying the election, and of coursc did their utmost lo fulfill their Iw.st.

TIIK country expects Congress to perforin it 11 needful legislation tor the suppression of the Kn Klux without unnecessary delay. Kepublican Senators or Representative: who hesitate, in tho discharge of this most imperative and pressing duty, will be likely to hear from their constituents. There are times when deiays are not merely dangerous but criminal. The present is such a

time.

SEVERAL days before Mr. SUMNER made his last speech, the President had clearly indicated his intention lo abandon the San Domingo project, or, at all eventg let the matter rest. This was satisfactory to the country, and might have been accepted by the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts as a strong intimation of a desire on the President's part to promote a conciliatory spirit.

THE Express may blow about our census as much as it pleases, but we know that Greeley sweais awfully.—Ind. Mirror.

I THE position of Slate Senator in LouisI iana is not an enviable one when the incumbent happens to be dark-complexion-ed. The other day Senator llutler, of

I'lapuemines Parish, was ordered to leave the cabin of the steamboat Bannock City, solely because he was a person of color. As he did not immediately comply he was struck over the head with an iron bar, and also boaten with the dinner bell. People capable of such brutality certainly need to be kept in order by constitutional amendments and—something more.— Cincinnati (iazcttc.

MR. BUTLER and otheis, peculiarly exposed to such treatmeut, should go prepared to defend themselves, and shoot down every scoundrel who offers violence. A few lessons of that sort would have a most wholesome effect on the "chivalrv."

THE Cincinnati CommercuUi* much crcicised and con-iderablv agitated about Presidential candidates. Here is its latest deliverance: "It is not worth while for the Democrats to think ot nominating either of the following named candidates to die Presidency General Hancock, of Montana General McCelian, of Xew York General McC!ern ind,oflllinois Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York Governor John T. Ilotrm in, of New York Senator Hendricks, of Indiana Hon. C. L. Yallandigham. of Ohio Senator Thurman, of Ohio Hon. George II. Pendleton, of Ohio. The Democrats had better begin to think seriously of a candidate who is able, honest, available and popular. The election takes place next year."

It is a little rough to rule out almost the entire list of Democratic candidates at a single flourish of a mighty pen and it is rougher lo insist dial a man must be "honest" and at the same time "popular" with the Democracv

Any one who will take a map of the city and look a: die boundaries of the Eighth Ward for example, as fixed last night, v, ill sec thai the hundreds ot Republicans in that Waul are given n- more power, politically, than a lew Democrats in the other Wards, v.hich. it is suppose.!, will sustain the King ticket.

THE SHELBYYILLE MURDER.

tircat Excitement

[Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. INDIANAPOLIS, MarJi '-'7.

The murder of Ringsdorf, at Shelby ville, Ind., Saturday night, has created a ^reat excitement in that village. The murderer and his victim had been associating and drinking together for two or three days. Saturday evening Ringsdorf came into BenjowskyV drug and grocery store and asked his wife for a little wine. She said she knew of none about the premises: that if her husband kept any wine she was not aware of it. Just then Benjowskv came in at the back door and approached Ring-dorf, the former putting on his hand as if lo guard himself from an anticipated attack from the latter.

Benjowsky went to a glass case, took out a revolver and deliberately commenced ti: ing at Kingsdorf, discharging one ball into his bowels and another into his hip. He was arrested and lodged in jail. Some persons are circulating the report that B^njowsky has been crazy for the pa«t seven years. This is a dodge to screen the murderer. He hxs been an active business man during the past seven years, and has managed by fair means and foul to accumulate considerable propertv. He has a mean, bull dogdisposition, and is reported to have whipped his wile M' limes when in a passion, but his lunacy has not been of that kind to make him in any wise irresponsible for the horrible crime he committed.

KLUX ITI.BELL ON.

Particulars of the Outrage on Col. .a I'.ngsins.

A Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune gives a detailed account of the treatment of Col. HDGOIN8J a 'levenne Assessor in Mississippi. This is one of many cases which prove beyond question lliat the Ku Klux organization in that Sta'e intends not only to drive out Northern men, however inoffensive personally, and to intimidate and coerce negro voters, but to retint the enforcement of the Revenue laws, and to defy the Federal Government:

On '.he niglit of the 9th inst., Col. Huggins stopped at Ross Mills, about ten miles from Aberdeen, on the road to Columbus. This was the night of the former outrage reported in these dispatches, and of those on Seaton and Reynolds, at Columbus. Charlen G. RO-JS, the miller, at whose house he stopped, is a Southern man, of conservative prin ciples. Huggins, when making assessments, always stopped with him.

About 10 o'clock, having been in bed some time, he was awakened by the noise of horses and the confusion of voices. Hearing Mr. Ross parleying, Huggins dressed himself hastily and stepped to the windows. There he counted one hundred and twenty meD, disguised as usual in long while robe", reaching neatly to their feet, with their heads and faces concealed by a loose covering the same color and material, in the front half of v. hich were holes for the eyes and mouth, surrounded with red rings. Their horses were drawn up outside the yard fence, and the house was completely surrounded. It w—i evident that they were well disciplined. The leader was a large, burly man. As was afterwards seen, they were all armed with six-inch revolvers of one pattern, and apparently nearly or quite new. Mr. Ross expostulated with the Klan against intertering with his guest, and declared that they should not take him out of the house with his consent. Colonel Hoggins went to the window and asked what was wanted. The Ku Klux Captain re plied that be must come down they wanted to warn and say some other things to him. Mr. Ross told Huggins that be could do as he pleased about going down. The Colonel then informed the Klux that he should defend himself there, and if they only desired to warn him it could be done where he was. This they refused to do, as their warnings were never given in presence of women and children.

The Colonel refused to go down. The Captain then ordered Mr. Ross to bring him down or put alight in t.ie room, under, penally of having his house burned. He refused. Mrs. Ross and the children screamed and cried but the banditti did not hesitate to bring material with which to set the building on fire. Colonel Hug gins then went to the window and told the Klan that if they would leave the yard he would come to the fence accompanied by Mr. Ross, and they agreed to this and left.the yard. As soon, however, v.- the officer went to the fence, they v- entered, and surrounded and disarmed him. The Captain then told him, in substance, that he must promise to leave the county and Sla'.e within two days, or they wouid kill him that they had no especial or personal objections to him, but they did not intend that the taxes should be collected. They were determined that they would not pay taxes to support a d—d set of Radical office-holders, and they were determined no laws should be enforced in that county but such as they made themselves they were"against law anyhow," the Captain declared with a strange oath.

During the fifteen minutes consumed in yard Colonel Huggins repeatedly declined to give the promise they asked. He has no doubt that if he had made the promise no bodily injury would have been inflicted on him. But he gav! no pledges there or afterward. His refusal angered them excessively. They ordered htm to go with them, but he refused, unless by force. Mr. Ross pleaded with the Klan to remember their promise. Mr. Huggins then demanded that Ross should go with them, to which th# Captain consented. Up to this point no personal violence had been offered the Colonel in fact, thev treated him quite civilly, the Captain rebuking one of the gang who swore at the prisoner, by saying that he was always a gentleman, and should be treated decently. They told him several times that they had no particular objection to him, only they had determined the taxes should not be collected. After carrying him two hundred yards or more he was ordered to take his coat off. This he refused to do, when it was torn rudely from his back. He was then whipped with a thick Ieidier strap more than an inch wide, duu' lad, and about three feet or more in length. Fifty lashes, severely applied, were then given, each ten lashes being laid on by fresh man. He was again asked sever?-! times to promise to leave, but refused. This exasperated the Klan still more, and the Captain took the strap, and without stopping, laid on twenty-five lashes, with all the force of a powerful man, swearing with every blow at the obstinacy of the Colonel. In all he received nearly one hundred stripes. Finding that he waR growing faint, and would not promise, they released him, declaring that if he remained in Monroe county they wouid kill him. He went to Ross' house, where he was kindly cared for, and the next day returned to Aberdeen. After being several days under medical treatment he was able to travel.

Mr. Charles Francis Adams as a Diplomatist. Immediately after the inauguration of President Lincoln, Mr. Adams was commissioned as minister plenipotentiary to England, in the place of Mr. Dallas, and he sailed from Roston for that service in the first week in May. He was now in the sphere for the exercise and manifestation of his rare qualities. They were illustrated by the great discouragements he bad to encounter. The aimed rebellion had broken out. The ministry and the ruling classes of England were unfriendly. The Tory party conld not but welcome the prospect of the downfall of the great republic, whose prosperity had so potently backed up the srgumciit. of English friends to free principles and free institutions. The Whig aristocracy, alarmed by the pro gressive radicalism of their own allies at home, were not unwilling that it should receive a check from the failure of the

American experiment. Except the great names of the Duke of Argyll, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Cobden, there were fewin the first rank of English statesmen who looked favorably or justly on the rights or the prospects of this country. In the commercial circles, in which, since the squirearchy has become more enlightened, the intensest burliness of John Bulliem re:idew, the ruin of the great maritime power across the water was a welcome conclusion. The suffering that would fall on the laboring classes in consequence of ihe stoppage of the supply of cotton from America was apparent, and the decision with which, as it proved, they not only refrained from pressing their government into hostile measures, but pronounced their advocacy of that cause of freedom in America which tbev instinctively felt to be their own, showed a sense and magnanimity which it would have seemed vi-innary to look for. ihe clergy, from Cornwall to the Tweed, rejoiced in the new demonstration thai ?..cial order .vas to be had under the hti.nlow of a church-sustaining throne. The Carlton Club was elate. The Reform Club was bewildered and double-minded. Lord Palmerston. even beyond his wont, was flippant and cheerful.

Mr. Adams stepped into the circle collected, prepared, grave, dignified. self poised, with the port ol one who leu that he had great rights lo sec'ire, that he knew how to vindicate them, and that he had a stout power behind him tor their maintenance The British ministry—not over-reluctant themselves—were pressed by solicitations from across ihe Channel, as well as by taunts and importunities at home, to espouse the cause of the insurgent States. Had they done so, it will not do to say that we should have failed to come victorious out of the contest, but without doubt we should have won our victory at immeasurably greater cost. That they were held to a neutrality, however imperi'eei, instead of proceeding to an ac-'ive intervention, was largely due to the admirable temper and ability with which our diplomacy was conducted A short time sufficed to make it apn.jar that Mr. Adams was not to be bullied or cajoled, or hoodwinked, or irritated into an imprudence, and every dfy of his long residence near the British court brought iis confirmation to that profitable lesson. Under provocations and assumptions the more offensive for being sheathed in soft diplomatic phrase, not a petulant word was to be bad from the American minister, nor a word, on the other hand, indicative of a want of proud confidence in the claims and in the future of his country. A timid and yielding temper"would have invited encroachments: a tety humor of discourteous address would have been seized upon as excuse for reserve or counter-irri-tation. Nor by the preparation of study was he les equal to the difficult occasion than by native qualities of mind and character, as was proved more than once when, Lord John having flattered himself that he had discovered some chink in our mail in some passage of our treatment of Spain and the So--.:h American republics, the pert diplomatist had to learn that it would be prudent for him to go into a more careful reading of the records of past American administrations. It is of less consequence to say that Mr. Adam's personal accomplishments, his familiarity with the usages of elegant society, his cultivated taste in art, and the good scholarship of his acquaintance with the classical historians, orators, and poets (a sort of attainment nowhere more considered than in England), added to the estimation which at tatched to him. Going to that country in circumstances of the extremest perplexity and trial, he left it, after seven years, the object of universal respect, and of an extent and earnestness of private regard seldom accorded, in any circumstances, to the representative of a foreign power. To maintain at once an inflexible and an inoffensive altitude, to assert, without a jot or tittle of abatement, a country's unconceded right, yet expose no coign of vantage to the aggressor by a rash advance, to enforce justice, and tranquilize passion at the same time, is the consummate achievement, the last crown ing grace, of diplomacy.—From an artie'e on CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, in the April number of Lippincatfs Magazine.

Peasant. Information for Tipplers. The black ants of Sweden area formidable race of workers, much larger than any we have here. They make sad havoc with the grains, aiid as tbey travel in processions, each with a wheat grain or some other dainty for winter stoi", they present a formidable array—a curious spectacle for the philosopher. The siing of these animals very sharp ar.d somewhat poisonous. The best policy to observe is, when meeting a procession of those workers, to turn aside and give them the right of way, for they will grip their grain tightly, and give sting rfter sling, !'sing Utile lime for rcven.e and 'ien to their well ordered, well sto:ed ues. The Swedes have learned a way o. .tilizing ihe-e iit'le animals, sting and all. hey waylav them on these journeys, catch them by hand, in nets, and sieve*, anyway to gel them, and plump they go into the seething brandy distillery, and on them depends the peculiar flavor of Swedish brandy. It is so smooth so oily,so pungent ha.i such a delicous flavor in short, is everything enchanting and then they have the loveliest little glasses, that hold thimble full, so thin, fragile, and beautii i'ly artistic, lliat tbev would almost te apt an ascetic to drink and catch the divine afflatus, but it only takes one drink In intoxicate and then delirium treynens soon follows. We have seen a lady jump 'i the table and scream because a red ant ran across her plate, and she would sip this brandy from ihe little glass, and extol i'.s flavor.

Robert Chambers, whose death was announced, Saturday, from London, was one of the famous Edinburgh publishing firm of W. & R. Chambers, to whom literature, history and still more the com mon people, are greatly indebted. The two brothers were thrown ii their resources in early youth, with but an elementary education. They began life as proprietors of book-stalls, then of book stores, and William added to his a small printing establishment. The union of their business occurred in 1832, when Robert was 30 years old, and they soon took rank among the first editors and pub lishers of Great Britain. They found I a periodical, the Edinburgh, afteiward Chambers' Journal, which, in lS'j-t, bad a circulation of 200,000. They had published many valuable series of books for the people, all of high quality, and they were in fact the pioneers of cheap literature in the island. Robert Chambers was more lhan an editor merely. He had genuine literary ability, and his life of Robert Burns is one of the most valuable of biographies. He wrote and compiled many works illustrative of Scottish history and customs, among ihem a book of song3 and ballads, and histories of James I," and the "Rebellions of Scotland." His first book was published in his twenty-third year.

A COURESPCN CINT of the Boston Courier recently met Mrs Dr. Mary A. Walker, and thus describes her: The personal appearance of Dr. Walker is not attractive. He is not particularly neat in her clo.hing, and his hair is not nicely put up, in a way lo let you know he is a woman or she is a man. He wears a sort of a cross between a frock coat and a petticoat, which comes down to her knees, beneath which are conspicu^'is his pantaloons and boots. We thongi.* he wa-i somewhat rude when she stepped off the platform, as the did nol offer us her hand in alighting. He asked us to attend her lecture, but she did not offer us any of his tickets, which ought to be well wrapped in greenbacks to induce us to listen to what he has to say when she delivers it. Good to Doctor!

Fair and Unfair Opposition. We may appeal to any fair minded person to decide whether the opposition 'whioh the Republican party and the Administration have lately encountered does not pass the legitimate bounds of political discussion. Everybody knows that a public man must make up his mind to be exposed to a good deal of sharp criticism. He is quite certain to offend a good manv persons from the start, and come of these persona will in all proba* bility be able to find access to the columns of a newspaper, and take good care to throw a® much dirt as hey possibly can. He will a!- *,#••«? adversaries of a much viler kind, wh" will v.td innocent aciiiiu#. into crime all kinds of lies about him, and spare no one couuected with him—man, woman, or child.

The necessity of facing this ordeal deters many men from entering public life at all, and drives a good many out of it when once they have entered it. Among instances of the latter kind is that of Vice President Colfax, a singularly honest and pure minded man, faithful to his principles, and undoubtedly qualified to render substantial service* to the country. He has announced his intention to withdraw from politics jt the expiration of his present term of office, simply because of hie disinclination to spend any more of his life in an atmosphere of slander and misrepresentation. Nor can this be construed into a sign of weakness. A man is bound, no doubt, to face fair criticism, but he is not bound lobe forever the target of professional libelers, blackmailers, and all kinds of knaves. He owes, after all that can be said, something to his own sense of self respect.

Now, of this kind of "opposition" Gen. Grant has had rather more than his full share, as everybody will admit. Some people he provoked by refusing to place them in lucrative offices. They have ever since bee'i at work upon his character, laving on a coat of black paint here and daubijg it with pitch there, until the portrait has become a hideous caricature. It seems but the other day that the whole nation was trying to devise methods of testifying to Gen. Grant its sense of the high services he had rendered. No new light has been thrown on those services sio'a. They are as deserving of praise and gratitude now as ever they were. It is largely owing to Gen. Grant thai we a'e to-day a eat people, and not, as the Democrats wi-hed to make us, a collection of small Governments and "independent"

S ates. Posterity will

rank Gen Grant among the greatest commanders of his age—the most indomitable in adversity, the most n-nvi"r.imous in victory. Yet it is thXs m.io. and within five years of the close o: ie war, tint Senator Sumner can dare to call incapable even as a soldier, uttei ly un.vorihv oi respect or confidence. If Senator Sumner had said that in .May, ISiio, what would have been the general verdict on his behavior? Yet th:\t portion of Gen. Grant's career to which Mr. Sumner's criticism was addressed stands'the same now as it did then it goes down to history as it stood when the surrender of Lee, after a struggle of unparalleled intensity —for thero has been nothing in the war between Germany and Franco at all comparable with it—brought peace once more to the country.

People are blessed with very short memories in these days—but is it creditable to us that Gen. Grants character .should thus be exposed to every reckless calumny, and scarcely a protest ugainst the outrage? Let it be remembered ihat he has done nothing whatever '.o deserve the obloquy now heaped upon his head by Republican papers like the Evening Post. When you sift the complaints about him they amount to this—he lias not appointed some men to office, who were thought by their friends to be undeserving. Was there ever a President ol whom the thii: could not be said? Look on the other side of the accoun'.

The

-let". lr een !arce!v

redw-i so JUS ?::S SU,. C-VOID ».,.iida high tiic is pi When you reckon up Gen. Grant's iauitb, why not place these great results of his Administration to his credit? Simply because it is almost impossible now adays to obtain justice for a public mnn during his lifetime. There must always be an opposition and in a newspaper age. opposition can speak with ten thousand voices, where sixty wirs ago could find but one.

We have mentioned Gen. Grant's name, but what we have said about him necessarily applies also to tl Republican party, for the two are linked pretty closely together, and must necessarily be so until March, 1872, to say the least. It is astounding to find Republicans persevering in a course which any man possessing a grain of sense must see is calculated to force the country into the abyss of Democracy. We are to change Grant for Hoffman, and put Tweed and Sweeny with as much power over the nation as they have over New York City—for that is what the election of a Democratic President with Tammany's money will amount to. There are really no leaders in the Democratic party to day one-fif-tieth part so powerful as the Tammany gang. They will find a large part of the money for the next election, and they will not do so without exacting an equivlaent lor it. Eeoublicans who want free trade, and Republicans who want to "take vengeance" for one grievance and another, would absolutely rather see a Democratic President than be deprived of their hobbies. Then they turned round to say, "are we not to criticise our party and the President?" We :ep!v, criticise them by I all means, but at present you are only trying to undermine them for the gratification of \our own whims. We have no desire to see the P:?-i 'ent enjoying immunity from fair criticism. We simplv think it an act of justice to weigh his actions impartially, and no' beset his path in the spirit of assas?'!-.

President's .Message.

Her is the full text of the message sent to Congress on Thursday: To the Senate and Hou.,c of Representative?:

A condition of affairs now exists in some of ihe States of die Union rendering lile and properly insecure, acd the carrying of mails and collection of tha revenue dangerous. The proofs that such a -tate of affairs exists in some localities are now before the Senate. That the power to correct these evils is beyond the control of the State authorities I do not doubt but the power of Executive of the United States, acting within the limits of existing laws, sufficient for the present emergency, is not clear therefore, I urgently reoomrc-nd such legislationfas in the- judgment Congress shall effectually secure !:!•', liberty and property in all of the f'nited Males.

It uiay be v.a to that such law as shall be pa.»seu pursuance of this recommendation shall expire at the end of the next Con jress.

There is no other subject rn which I would recommend legislation during the present session. (Signed) U. S. GRANT.

WHAT have the loyal men of this nation, who, casting aside all political differences, and sacrificing all sectional prejudices and predile ions, entered the armies of the Union and put down the Southern rebellion, to say this from the Montgomery (Ala. Advertiser of jrch 19: "We declare that the war made by the Radical party of the United States against the Confederate States is the darkest, scandal in modern history."

It is just such utterances as the above, from the defiant and disloyal rebels of the South, that leach us that the mission of he Republican party is not fulfilled. It would be as dangerous to disband our organization to-day as it would have been to disband the Union armies in 1864.—Philadelphia Press.

BBU7G CONSPIRACY.

WAS

cultural

March 27.—A curious .s been brought to light, ierstood will be made the ressicnal investigation. It

circu tpwhich subject i. appears titled to

Stat&of Alabama is en-

cr..l thousand acres of agri-

i.-uid scrip,

under the acts of

Congress that W. W. Smith, late Governor of hat State, visited Washington about a year since, for the purpose of causing the issue of scrip. The Commis* sioner of the Land Office directed the scrip to be made out, but from some mysterious reason it was never issued. Some few weeks ago Governor Lindsay of Alabama received a communication from a gentlenfan in Ohio, charging the existence of a conspiracy for the withholding of this scrip, by which Alabama S per cent, bonds were to be depreciated in Wall street to CO cents on the dollar, then bought up by interested parties and under State law exchanged at par rates for this scrip. As a consequence, examination in the matter was had under the auspices of Governor Lindsay of Alabama and a package of the scrip said to have been discovered in the Land Office, all made out, but endorsed on the envelope as withheld by direction of Senator Warner. The writer of the warning letter from Ohic charged that ex Governor Smith and Senator Warner were interested in this stock jobbing companv. It is said that ex Commissioner Wilson knows all about the affair,%nd will, no doubt, make some curious revelations of this and other land jobs.

SOUTHERN LAWLESSNESS.

The Republican members of the House special committee on the President's message, have unanimously agreed that some legislation for suppression of lawlessness in the South is imperative. It is therefore proposed to report a bill today or to morrow, and (he Committee have instructed Shellabargcr to prepare a draft of one for consideration at their meeting to day. This bill, which is already completed, will be simple, and at the same time comprehensive, and will be founded principally on existing laws, providing for their application to present contingencies. The third and last sec ion, which is the most important feature of •the bill, provides that when domestic violence and disorders shall exist in any State, and the same shall be caused by armed and organized bands combined to commit such acts by State authorities, or where such authorities by reason of being in complicity or sympathy with such organized bands do not suppress such ordi then the President shall, without waiting to be called upon by the Governor or Legislature of such State, issue his proclamation ordering the disbanding of such armed and organized bands, and he shall have power, and it shall be his duty, lo use die army and navv of the. United States lo suppress such ''i--n: dor and arrest organized band a.,-ing them. provides also, that in pursuance of sue.'i duty, lie may declare a disaffected district in insuneci'on, proclaim martial law, suspend tl.-- writ of habeas corpus therein, and p-i -eca to supprcs-ion of violence and punishment ot offending persons This see: ion also embraces a provision embodied in the Siiellabarger bill, that when ofienses punishable under this act are begun in one LT. S. Judicial District and completed in another, every such offence shall be regarded as commuted in either district, and may be inquired into, tried and dealt with the same as if wholly committed in said District. The operations of this scction are by its terms limited to the 1st of June, 1872.

SENATOR SUMNER'S SPEECH. As early as 11 o'clock this morning the galleries of the Senate were densely crowded by occupants attracted thither to hear Sumner speak. Many were unable evp?: :o obtain standing room at the doors. The: were an unusually large number r'' -.. ivileged persons on the floor. Sumner commenced speaking as soon as practicable, alter the Senate was called to order. In his opening paragraph he definitely asserts that it is now on evidence before the Senate, that the Navy of the United States, acting under orders from Washington, has been engaged in measures of violence and of belligerent intervention, being war without authority of Congress.

The whole business, he adds, is aggravated when it is considered that the declared object of this violence is acquisition of foreign.territory, being half an Island in the Carribean Sea and still further, that this violence has been employed first, to prop and maintain a weak ruler, himself an usurper, upholding him in power that he might sell his country and secondly, it has been employed to menace the black republic of Hayti. Such a case, Sumner continues, is too grave for silence. For the sake of the Navy, the Administration, Republican institutions, and lor the sake of the Re publican party, which cannot afford to become responsible for such conduct, the case must not pass without inquiry. Hut beyond all these considerations is the commanding rule of justice, and the evidence shows too clearly that means have been employed, tor the acquisition of ^an Dominso, which cannot be justified. The Senator then characterizes Baez and Grant as copartners in the melancholy affair carefully reviews the history of the former, and his unscrupulous usurpation recites die origin of the scheme for annexing hall the island,and arraigns the President for usurping the war treaty powers of Congress, and violating the international law of die C'onstitu ion of the United States. In the evidence adduced he confines himself care fullv to public documents and reports of officii communications to the Senate.
