•urranrhlarmciil In the Monti*
The Boston l\*>t says that “ the Radical pa
jx-rs are printing (Senator Wilson’s statement
that the number of whites distranchised at the
South will not exceed filly thousand. At least
filly thousand—some say sixty—are ilisfian
rliised In Tennessee alone. The Senator is very
loose in his electioneering statements, and the
Radical papers are reckless in endorsing them
The New Orleans TYmcs says it cannot lie truth
hilly denied, that ill Louisiana alone thirty thou
guild whites are disfranchised by the Rcconstrue
lion acts. The while-p.piilatiou of Louisiana is
not a tenth pari ol the whiles included iu the
revolted States; so it follows that ten time
thirty thousand have been distranchised in those
Stalk This would carry the number up I
three hundred thousand. Thisnnmber of those
who could not register is probably in no degree
exaggerated, if wc consider not only those who
were directly struck at by these acts, but those
who were barred out by the constructions put
upon them bv the officers "
The Boston Pat is right. Senator Wilson’s
statement ot the number distranchised in the
South is either an evidence ot his ignorance, or
of his mendacity. None but a demented man
would hast! ventured to assert wltat the Massa
chusetts Senator lias asserted in the foregoing
statement. He must Love known it to be lalse
when he made it. No man occupying hts posi
tion could be so ignorant—especially one who
has given so much attention to the South, and
lias visited it so recently—ss to make the state
ment he did ; and wc are forced to the conclu
sion that Senator Wilson asserted u deliberate
talsohood, when he proclaimed that the disfran
chised at the South did not exceed fifty thou
sand. The New York Tribune is belter posted
—certainly more truthful—upon the number ol
disfranchised, than Wilson. That paper says:
“ There are probably more than 00,000 white
men in Tennessee who cannot vote. The signi
ficance of this fact & heightened by the general
admission of the blacks to the exercise ot the
franchise. So, between the wide exclusion ot
die whites and the universal enfranchisement ot
Uic blacks, Tennessee is a political Pandemo
nium ; and, until the suffrage is so regulated that
all men who are not excluded by the reconstruc
tion ai ts ot Congress are admitted to the enjoy
ment ot all their political rights, we shall have
no hope of cordial and enduring peace. It may
:,s well he plainly stated here as vaguely
hinted at, that the Republican parly of the
North has never, so tar as we know, con
templated the permanency ot any arrange
ment like that which now atllicts Tennessee;
that it has never intended to justify its enemies
in their accusation that it might tyranine over
and oppress thewliilea; and that if the Bmilliern
Republicans, black and white, think the sup|H)il
of the North worth wiuniug, they must put their
legislation on some other basis than that of sell-
soekiug and revenge. The time lor disfranchise
ment ol any hut classes embracing lew iudivid
uals, and those confessedly disloyal ami danger
mis, has gone by. The hateful passions engen
tiered by the war arc dying out. The country is
addressing itself to tho problem of peace ; iuul
we lielievc that all men who have not deep per
sonal animosities to gratify, or some unworthy
liersonal motive to serve, or who are not insane
with rago and Imle, are willing to draw a sponge
over the past, and commence anew, provided
that both freedom and justice can lie made the
Isisia of future endeavor. We believe that when
we say this, we apeak for niuetenths of the Re
publicans of the Northwest. Of their devotion
to the cause ol their parly, uud the country, there
can be uo doubt."

A Planter Cut to Pieces by an liiliirlaled
Negro.
Yesterday altcrunon a lew particulars of an
other bloody affair in Hie country reached the
city Mr Benjamin Branch, a planter, residing
six miles out in Hutcliic bottom, had in his em
ploy a negro known ns Adam, to whom last
year lie rented a piece of land, with Hie under
standing that lie was to receive in payment a
certain proportion of the crop. Saltmhy lag
Hie two met to divide the crop, mainly corn. I
was measured in a wagon bed, at Mr. Branch
suggestion; but Adam was not satisfied, and
commenced indulging in harsh words at the
farmer’s expense. Not desiring any trouble, Mr.
Branch procured a bushel bnsket and suggested
that llie corn be measured in that way Adam
refused to assist in the measurement, and seemed
determined to bo displeased, uo matter what
method was proposed. Finally Mr. Branch asked-
Ydam what he intended doing about ii The latter
replied : "ill had an ax I’d show you; -I’d chop
your d—d head off" Not knowing wlmt tho no
gro, now trembling with auger, might do undei
the excitement of the moment, Mr. Brunch look
ed about tor something with wbicli to defend
himself. He stooped to pick up a billet ot wood,
hut before arming, Adam, who had been closely
watching Ids movements, suddenly drew akuile
and sprang upon him. He plunged the weapon
into Mr. Branch’s side, the blade penetrating to
and severing the kidneys. Not content with
till* the black monster, withdrawing the Unite,
again sank it to the hilt in his victim's body, the
weapon this time entering the rigid side below
the ribs. Adam then disappeared, and latpr iu
the dav Mr. Branch waB found weltering ip gore.
Yesterday lie was still alive, but no hopes were
entertained of ids recovery.
'This black monster waa but practically assert
ing his "rights" iutbe manner pointed out to
him by those white friends, who, to secure Ids
political support, are urging him to every crime
against Southern white men. There can be hut
little doubt that he received bis inspiration Irom

or Radical politician seekiug for negro voles.—

Negro Juries.
The President will probably return the hill
for striking out the word “white" Irom laws
relative to eligibilily to ofllce, aud to Hie forma
tion ot juries, with Ids objections, this week. The
experiment ot negro juries is thus to be made in
Hie District, a* well oa iu the Slates which have
lieeu subjected to Radical Africanization. It
lias been found in Louisiana aud in oilier South
ern Stales that the juries composed ot recently
emancipated slaves were incapable of under
standing any points ot law or evidence that
were presented. Even Republican Judges in
Hist State have declared that tiie grand Ulrica
were no longer of any practical utility, and Hint
it was impossible to make them comprehend any
principles or duties by which they were to he
guided.
It will lie observed that llie same Radical
(tower that fosters iguorant aud irresponsible
juries upon us, exercises at the same time all its
influence for the promotion ot an Ul-jealously
between the blacks and whites, here and in the
Soul hern States. Thus it must happen that in
a jury of twelve men, if a part lie of colored
and another portion while men, antagonisms ot
opinion ami judgment will exist, and the juries
will be divided, on critical and important eases,
by Hie shades of color and the laws of race.—
After u while Hie antagonisms of nice will ap
pear among tho colored men, nnd divide Hie
lilueks from the mulattoes, as has been the cast*
in West Indies, nnd is becoming so also iu some
parts oi the South.
Besides, in this District, white citizens ol such
consideration and intelligence ns we have gener
ally li id uiion our Juries wifi not consent to Hie
trial ol any ease with colored men, who are. ne
cessarily both ignorant and prejudiced. They
will avail themselves of all tliu excuses llmt the
lnw may allow. . „
The law constituting negro juries, wholly or
in Marl, in this District, will necessarily break up
Hie jury system lu re. It will have the same ef
fect elsewhere. For it will be Impossible that a
jury ol twelve men of different color,and differ
ent education, and ol very dillcrent views will
agree unanimously to a verdict iu any Inqiortant
case. , , ,
The jury laws must, consequently, lie so mod
itied llmt a majority ol two-thirds of the jury
shall be alone necessary tor a verdict.—National

Serious lint well-aulhenHonted accounts reach
us from tiie country districts respecting the in-
creasing poverty, desolation and desperation of
the people, and especially of the negroes. The
unprecedented failure of every kind id cultivation
lias placed a very large class ol the negroes on the
verge ol starvation. It is driving them to acts of
depredation and wholesale robbery, which are
apidly consuming what is left on tiie plan
tation from the general wreck. Stock of
every description are rapidly disappearing. Tliu
planters find it Impossible to guard or save even
their milch cows and brood animals. Without
money or employment, the negroes find it impos
sible to obtain meat or bread, and they take to
the woods and highways and seize and auj*ro-
priate every live animal they can find. They
even set traps for cattle and hogs. Leagued to
gether iu clubs and associations, they nre encour

A Bureau Man Tarred and VarnlsRed by
Negroea.
Wo were informed yesterday, snys the Hunts
ville, Alnhiunu, Independent,' ol the 15th, of a
rich scene dial occurred a few days since at
Vienna, a village in the Southeastern portion ot
this comity. The fact* are almut those: A sub
agent ot the Bureau, named Pointer, from Mar
shal! county, desiring to replenish llie cotters of
llie Bureau, or his own, appeared, in Vienna
and attempted to collect the sum of a dollar and
a half troiu each negro, on the pretence that this
amount was due from them for drawing up con
tracts. Tiie negroes could uot see it in this light
nnd refused to pay the subsidy, whereupon Point
er, having unbilled freely ol corn juice, abused
die negroes at a round rate, cursing und threaten
ing them. After bearing this till patience ceased
to be a virtue, a crowd id them seized the luck
less agent, ami besmeared his face with tar, after
wards applied a coat ot varnish, and with this
dress, turned him loose. But Pointer’s troubles
did not end here. In ids disastrous plight, he
entered the store ot a merchant, where there
were some ladies, using boisteriou* and indecent
language. He laid himself down before the fire
muttering, and cursing the whites, when the mer
chant attempted to put him out of tiie house.—
At this Pointer showed fight, and was struck a
severe blow on the head with a hatchet, which
sobered him uml gave him a disgust lor the
Vienna souulry. 1 le foil precipitately, and came
into Huntsviiic yesterday morning with a dis
figured aud bloody lace.
At tiie ball of Hie Oglethorpe Fire Uompany
ou Tuesday niglit last, while the Company aud
guests were enjoying an excellent supper, a well
known gentleman arose and said. ” 1 hare just
been informed that Mr. John E. Hayes will doubt
less recover from his injuries, (great enthusiasm,
men clapping hands aud stamping feet, and
ladies waving their Imndkerchiels) aud, sir, '
would add tliut there is not a country on the
globe tlial does not putlisil crime, but assassina
tion is a deed so dark and damning as to call
upon heaven itsclt lor justice where man (ails
to administer it. (Loud applause.) 1 propose,
Mr. Chairman, ladies ami gentlemen, with all
my heart and soul—
“ The speedy recovery of Mr. John E. Hayes.’
A voice—1 move tluit we drink it standing.
Tho Chairman—“ The company will fill up

Gen. Pope’s appointee, for violation ol tin; civil
rights bill case of Charles Archie Jnhnsou, ue
gro, was concluded to-day. This trial was oc
casioned by the illegal banishment of said John
son Irom the city. The caw was hilly and ably
argued before Judge Bnsteed, oi the United
States District Court. Being a precedent case,
it provoked considerable discussion and interest
among the people. It U regarded a* a fair test
of the protection afforded by the bill, and re
sulted in a verdict of guilty, rendered a few mo
ments after the juryfreUred. The sentence will
be promulgated at 12 o’clock to-morr»iw.
