, It to well known that Oolonel Farrow, not
many years since, was a deafer in human flesh.

bidder men and women of my race; but now
that he can no longer “put money In hto parse"

man beings, with patriotic (?) seel, be gently ea-
resaes tbe same articles of merchandise that he
may win them to docility and put upon their
duped backs a saddle that be may ride to office

take pleasure in making a public retraction when
thogentleman announces his willingness to in-
vita me and those of my color to kb parlors;
will not deny us the privilege of tree intercourse
with his family, and will advocate the right to
an eiclueivc colored representation in Congress.
It to also well known that Colonel Farrow held
position under the Confederate Government—a
Government he very eneeringly denounces, now
that lie Nitre Bureau baa ceased to be a paying
institution. Verilyvhath a Daniel come to judg

As the history ot nations as well as individuals
is not unfrequently repealed, may not tbs same
result follow it the Colonel tails to be hunted
down by that office of honor and pro tit which is

upon the white man who would come out in op

The colored man fought to restore n shattered
Union—fought tor his freedom, and 1 ought for
the right of citizenehip, which whlta men (par
ticularly onr friends, So-called) should not aV
tempt to rob him of. Tbe battfe-fiekfe of our
country are still red with the blood of n colored
soldiery, and, strange aa it may appear, the life-
current ot one colored officer is yet unshed—
from the humiliating fact that while wo were

uniform of a private in the ranks, we were not
considered worthy of carrying a sword or wear-

says Colonel Farrow to the proposition ?
Hoping, Mr. Editor, that Ool. F. will give me

Conflected with the foregoing, we embrace the
present opportunity of presenting also to tbe
colored people in this vicinity the following
“ POLITICAL VIEWS OP A COLORED LADY "
which wc copy from the Baltimore GateUe, and
which we commend also to their attention as
embracing a far more patriotic and sound appre
ciation of the condition of her race, and what to
required of them, to promote their prosperity
and happiness, than has yet been uttered by any

The following sketch of a somewhat prominent
character will, says the Chattaanooga Union,
“ bring back to mind one who used to make her
appekranoe aa a wondering star in this city during
the war.” It will also bring back to the mlnda
ofmnnyof our own citizens, ths sams" wandering
star” who, alter the war closed, honored Atlan
ta with her appearance jand during her ttay in it,
created no little sensation by her “ last driving
and other eccentricities. The last authentic in
telligence from Mexico in regard to her and her
Prince renders it doubtfoi whether they will ever
have the gratification of seeing the Emperor ol
Austria to receive their reward. He had been
condemned to death, and she was in prison,
biding her fate:
The Princess Saim Balm, a very pretty little
woman, now in her twenty-seventh year, is not
“on American lady,” nor was her maiden name
Le Clerq. Her father, who has resided in Can
ada tor several vears, bears a very different sur
name, and to a Oolonel in the British service.—
Previous to bis residence in Canada he served
in the East Indies, where hiadaoghler was horn,
her mother being a half-caste Hindoo. It is
ty clear, from these premises, that tbs Prin-
Halm Balm is not. and cannot be, “n niece
of President Johnson.” Ten yean ago she nr-
rivetTlB Philadelphia with “a plentiful scarcity”
of money, having, indeed, only the clothes which
she then wore. Her story, which there Is no
reason to discredit, is that her father having treat
ed her so harshly aa to make home unhappy, she
had fled from Canada. At that time, acoordli
u> the date of her birth in the Almanach
Gotha, Mias Agnes Le Clerq (*a she called her
self,) wanted some months ot sweet seventeen,
but she looked three or four yean older. She
left Philadelphia early In 1868, and Joined
traveling circa*, where she soon became a sort
of “star." She married one oi the horse-rider*
ot the company, by whom she had one child.—
Inasmuch aa she married her present princely
spouse in 1883, it is to be presumed that her first
husband died. Tbe Prlnceas is alike active in
mind and body, capable of enduring privation
and fatigue, quick at resources, lively in conver
sation, and easy in her manners. 3he speaks
French fluently, having learned the language in
Canada. Should her husband escape from tbe
peril which nowthreateM him, there Is no doubt
that the Emperor of Austria will amply reward
him and bis wife for their exertions and sympa

Rndtonl party fenders, whkfo Oboeld not guide
the Military Commanders, end would not, unless
they aspire to do some service other than Itot
which to required ot them, at often of the
United atom Government.
The fact that the qualified voters are to have
a free and unbiottd choice in tbe plan of recon
struction, and the election ot delegatee, folly es
taMtohta the foregoing proposition*. It necee
•arily follows that ail such important questions
as to trite shall perform Jury duty In tbe States
as reconstructed, are to be fa abeyance under the
military rule, and any net whleh Interfere* with
a free choice unitor the tows, to not to be exer
cised, and ta violative both of their spirit and
letter. Tbe military commanders may, by vir
tue of the power of bayonets, use tliolr office* to
violate the righto conferred upon the people, and
to oppram ell, or e portion of them, and there
may be no authority both willing and able to
control them, but this does not give them tbe
right Any man may, with Impunity, violate
every principle of truth and honor, and if he
have power, may perpetrate wrong and Injustice
upon the helplem, but if he does, he will be a
cruel, unprincipled tyrant.
As it to clear that many of the acta of those
commanders, such as the one referred to, find no
warrant in the laws of reconstruction, and their
faithful execution, the conclusion to that they are
not actuated by the principle which should gov
ern mMiert in command, but prostitute their of-
flcee to do the work of party, and become Indeed
only mere Radical emissaries Their purpose as
developed by such acts to not to reconstruct the
Union, hut to build up and perpetuate the Radi
cal party. < Ae p means to this end they abuse
the high trust reposed in them by the Govern
ment, by interfering with the choice of the elec
tors, and by Axing, by their note, the institutions
of the States In advance of their conventions, so
as they cannot be changed when these shall as
semble. No more Important question to to be
solved than the qualifications of our fotura ju
rare. It to perhaps the most solemn to be con
sidered, tor it concerns the purity of the waters
in the very, fountains of justice, and aflecu the
people in their most sacred private rights, from
tbe highest to the lowest, from the richest to the
poorest, and should be left to their calm and care
ful consideration, uninfluenced by any power
whatever.
But what to the truth? It is that these com
manders are giving such directions to the means
of reconstruction ss insures the accomplishment
ot their will, Instead of that of the people.—
When the conventions come to net, they will
find that negroes are already jurors, and have
been so tor from one to “live years,” and they
oanqot.turu. them out of the Jury box without
producing MflyfrinM excitement, and this they
will forbear to do although tbe judgment ot a
majority may be In Its tovor. Akin to this, and
a part of the same bad spirit, is the order touch
ing official advertisements. First, ell State offi
cers are forbidden to apeak against reconstruc
tion, although bolding office does not change
their states as voters, and to all the voters is ac
corded freedom of choice. Then they must give
all their patronage to the press ot the political
party who aeetph the plan of reconstruction,
aod to no otbere. Thus military/oree to used to
“abridge the freedom ol the press and of speech,”
guaranteed by tbe United State* Constitution,
and recognized by the acts ot reconstruction.—
The press who have opposed reconstruction are
punished for so doing, and those who cannot sur
vive without official patronage are suppressed—
As to these, Gen. Pope might as well have sent
a file of men to take possession of the press aad
materials, end to olose up the office. The differ
ence is as to the means of suppressing, not as to
the principle. Thus we see that the officers oi a
free constitutional republic ere administering
their departments upon the principles of military
despotism, as practiced by absolute monarchical
Russia. What p combined paradox and horror I
Every negro is a ready-made instrument, in

Pope, inconsistent end absurd, for be believes
the only reconstruction to bo obtained to the
reconstruction ot Tennessee—and to that he is
opposed, end so ought any sensible man to be.
And so will any reconstruction he, based upon
the disfranchisement of the moat virtuous and
intelligent, and the enfranchisement of the most
vicious and ignorant. It Is simply the inaugu
ration, by fundamental law, ot eternal etrfe and
discord. Such necessarily becomes the leading
permanent institution of the new governments.

Almost every valley in our beautifol State has
its tale of blood, uiuraer, or romance. Flint the
conflict betweeff the early pioheereand the In
dians, and afterwords the influx of that desper

leave behind them ns n legacy to the people who
come after them teles ol murder and violence.
A few years before the advent of the wicked
rebellion, a Mexican with hto wife, a beautiful
daughter, and two strong, bold sons, moved into
this little valley in which to situated the cave,
and in a most secluded spot at the foot of the
mountain he built him a stone house, and what
was suspicions about it, was ito fortress like

of this stone dwelling made himself pop

his general refinement; hto daughter was the
fairest flower of tbe valley of tho “Helotea/’ and
hto sons and himself fine specimens of the Mexi
can cavalero, and they seemed well off. At last
suspicion leaked out that there was something
wrong; stories were afloat that the old man ana
hto sons had been carrying on a thieving trade
between Texas and the Rio Grande—stealing
horses in Texas and selling them in Mexico, ana

hills near their fortress. At last an expedition

of the most heart-rending disasters that, we
think, has ever happened in Savannah, and which
has laid waste the happiness of a home and
family.
Miss Daley, a young lady aged from sixteen to
eighteen years, the daughter of Mr. Michael Da
ley, one of our oldest citizens, accompanied her
father North some time sinoe, and while there
was called back by the serious illnem of her sis
ter, who resides la this city. Tsaving her fether
at New York, she took passage on the steamer
Herman Livingston, which, after a safe voyage,
amved here last nignt About nine o'clock. Mum
Daley, young, and impatient nodonbt to greet
her relatives, was among the lint to start, unaid
ed and alone, to cross the gang plank, which in
the darkness afforded but precarious tooting even
to thoee who were practiced, and had experience
of its dangers. When about midway between
the vessel and the wharf, her feet slipped, and
wlthont n cry she fell Into the dark water be
neath, which wm rushing up with the force of a
flood tide, and sustained for a moment by her
clothing, carried her towards the stem or the
vesee), when she sunk without rising again. Out
of a crowd on tho wharf, not one could be found
breve enough to risk ikeir life to save the drown
ing girl—n sad commentary on the selfishness ot
human nature.
Her shawl and bonnet, we believe, were recov
ered, and at the hour we write, efforts are being
made, with drags, to find her body.—Savannah

General Grant.—It Genera) Grant should
be guided U> a conclusion as to his political sta
tus ny the newspapers of tho country it would
be one of hopeless uncertainty. Since the days
of George Washington, he is the only riiiitary
man who has sangut an avoidanoe of expressed
partisanship. General Soott, Taylor, Harrison,
Pierce, Wool, McClellan, Pope, blieridan, and
many others, North and South, have rushed
info politics as though it were a part of their
legitimate business.
For a while it seeuied a little ridiculous to
Americans that General Grant should not on
every occasion spout to the gasping crowds around
him. He has had the good sense not to do It,
thereby retaining ths confidence and respect of
the great and powerful Democratic party- The
politicians nra bound to ruin him, however.—

his ability to preserve, potect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, and is by the
same instrument made Commander-in-Cbief of
the Army and Navy of tbe United States, and
to required to take care that the laws be faith
fully executed; and whereas, by tbe same
Constitution, it to provided that the said Constl
ration and the laws of tbe United States which
shall be made in pursuance thereof, shall be the
supreme law ol the land, and the Judges in ev
ery State shall be bound thereby.
And wabreab, in aud by the same Constitu
tion, the judicial power of the United States is
rested in one Supreme Court, and in such infe
rior Courts as Congress may, from time to time,
ordain and establish, and the uforesald judicial
power to declared to extend to all cases in law
and equity arising under the Constitution, the
laws of the United States, and the treaties which
shall be made under their authority; aud where
as, all officers, civil and military, are bound by
oath that they will support and defend the Con
stitution against ail enemies, foreign and domes
tic, and will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same;
And whereas, All offloers of the army and
navy of the United States, in accepting their
oommtoslons under the laws of Congress, and
the rules and articles of war, incur an oblige
tion to observe, and obey, and follow such direc
tions as they shall from time to time receive from
the President, or tbe General, or other superior
officer set over them according to the rules and
discipline of war;
And whereas, It ia provided by law that
whenever by reason of unlawful obstructions,

hellion against the authority of the Government

of judicial proceedings the laws of tbe United
States within any State or territory, the ExeCn
tive in that case is authorized and required to
secure their faithful execution by the employ
ment of the land and naval force*.
And whereas, Impedimenta and obstructions
serious in their character have recently been in
terposed in the States of North Carolina and
South Carolina, hindering and preventing for a
time a proper enforcement there of the laws of
the United State*, and of the judgments and de
crees of a lawful court thereof, in disregard of
the command of the President of the United

And wheueab, Reasonable and well-found
ed apprehensions exist that such ill-advised and
unlawful proceedings may be again attempted

ceases of the courts of the United States;
and I call upon all good and well-disposed
citizen* of the United States to remember,

the same, depend the protection of the life, lib
