Federal Outrages in Tennessee.
Notwithstanding the zealous and effi
cient efforts of the State authorities of
Tennessee to bring to justice the masked
men who committed the recent outrages
in Gibson county in that State, and in
utter disregard of the protest of Governor
Brown against Federal interference with
the execution of the State laws, the
United States officials are taking matters
in their own hands, and. ns will be seen
by the following extracts from Tennes
see papers, are perpetrating outrages
upon the white citizens scarcely less law
less and revolting than those they are
seeking to punish:
MILITABY LAWEESSKESS Hi GIBSON.
A Fickettsville correspondent of the
Milan Exchange tells of some acts of law
lessness not committed by masked men.
He says of the recent arrest of citizens
by a deputy marshal and a squad of
soldiers:
When they had reached Jo, Hale's,they
found Hale, Morris and Parrish on the
watch, and say' that Jo. Hale snapped a
cap at them. When halted by Hale they
did wot say a word until the cap was
snapped. They handcuffed Parrish and
Morris, drank up all Mrs. Hale’s milk, ate
all the butter and scattered the milk- ves
sels over the yard and committed other
nets of lawlessness. They handcuffed
Alex. Holt, who was accused of no offense,
aud compelled him to pilot them around
the country', a distance of over ten miles,
on foot. They broke open and plun
dered the houses of John B. Moore, who
was absent, and that of old Mr. James.
Is it not strange that such conduct can
be tolerated ? All of the citizens of
Piekettsville arrested by the Federal au
thorities arc peaceable- and law-abiding.
We do not fear a fair trial for them.
DISOEACEFUI, TREATMENT OF A GinSON-
COUNTY OFFICIAL.
J. M. MeKnight, deputy sheriff of Gib-
sou county, who is officer of the courts
held at Humboldt, was arrested Thursday
morning and taken yesterday to Memphis
in irons by a squad of Federal soldiers.
He was in no manner, ns we are inform
ed, connected with the Trenton affair.
He had taken four of the negroes to the
Trenton jail and arrived there about
night. He went to sleep with the sheriff
in the court house and was awakened by
the noise when the masked men came
after the sheriff. The lynchers placed, a
pistol at MeKniglit’s head and threatened
to shoot him. He was an unwilling spec
tator of the scene, nnd this was all he
lmd to do with it.—Mashtille Union.
Commenting on these wanton and
brutal outrages the Union say's:
“Although our State authorities, and
especially the Executive, are making most
earnest and successful efforts to arrest and
bring to punishment the offenders against
the laws, yet the United States Marshal is,
we learn, arresting men who have been in
dicted in the State courts and appre
hended by the State authorities, and tak
ing them in chains to Memphis. What
is to be the resnlt of all this ? Is consti
tutional rule at an end ? Are there no
remnants left of the doctrine so dear to
the founders of the republic—the doctrine
of self-government? What is now hap
pening in the South may, in a few years,
hippen in some Northern State. When
the bulwarks of liberty aro gone, where
is the safety for personal or political
rights either in the North or in the South?
If our liberties are to be destroyed by the
bayonet, may they not lose theirs in the
same manner? May not the poisoned
chalice bo returned to their own lips?
Let all lovers of constitutional liberty be
aroused to a sense of the danger.”
How Mississippi is Governed.—One
of the causes of the dissatisfaction of the
white men of Mississippi with the exist
ing state of things in that State is very
succinctly told in an address which has
been recently issued at Port Gibson,
from which it appears that the Governor
of the State is from Massachusetts; the
lieutenant Governor is a negro from an
other State; the Superintendent of Edu
cation is a negro now on trial for felony.
In the county (Claiborne) where the ad
dress was issued, the Sheriff can neither
read nor write; the negro Coroner is un
der indictment for burglary; the negro
County Treasurer cannot add np a column
of figures; the Board of Supervisors have
no real estato interest in the county; and
most of the magistrates are negroes,
many of whom cannot read, and of conrse
cannot even comprehend the laws they pre
tend to administer The Chicago Tribune
remarks that it would be hard to conceive
a more desperate political condition than
this. _
Tbo New Orleans rebellion should be
quelled at once, and without any “ifs” or
“ands;” but when the thing is done let
ns see if something cannot be done to
enable that State to secure a respectable
government. First of all, Federal offi
cials in Louisiana should be mads to
understand that it is not their business
to run the politics of the State.—Boston
Globe.
What a pity that, n “respectable State
government” had not made the rebellion
needless and powerless. And what a pity
that the Republican press will not insist
that Federal officials shall not “run tho
politics” of any State. This “rebellion”
is simply against what the Globe con
demns—no more, no less.
das. Scott, living two miles southeast of
Milan, Tenn., was arrested last week,
Charged by some negroes with Ku-KluXing
them and taking theif guns. On the trial,
although the negroes swore that they had
known Scott for five years, and that he
was at their house at the time of the af
fair, they were unable to identify him.
When Scott’s oounsel pointed out a man
In thecrowd, and askedif that was he they
readily answered, yes. But, fortunately
for the accused, it was another party.
The incident shows what negro testimony
is worth in “Ku-Klnx” cases.
There are $5,000,000 oi uncollected
taxes in New Orleans in the present and
past year to tho State and local authori
ties, simply because the people cannot
find the means to pay them. Is it any
wonder that tho people became desperate
and rose in revolution?
Affair. '
w-lio se'ems to he dying
for the country’s good from
the effects of his own virus, had recov
ered strength enough to make a speech
to an immense audience in Indianapolis
on Friday last. As was to be expected,
he was extremely bitter against the people
of tho South, very lenient toward the
scoundrels and thieves who aro oppress
ing and plundering them, and hypocritic
ally sensitive about his colored fellow-
citizens. The object of the<whole speech
was to turn the recent events in Louisiana
to account as a means of “firing the
Northern heart” and of making capital
for his party in the approaching elec
tions. In the course of his speech he
said:
I am no advocate of Kellogg’s, but it is
only justice to say that he has not be
longed to any of the plundering rings,
and no robbery or stealing has been
brought home to him. The Republicans
of Louisiana are not free from fraud. I
have no apology for them, but they are
trivial when compared with the system
of murder by which their ranks have
been decimated and the whole State de
moralized. He said further that if the
people of Louisiana would not have their
State blighted they must stop the murder
business. They cannot expect an honest
government. The seizure of the State by
the McEnery faction was in the nature of
a Mexican pronunciamento. If it is tol
erated in one State it will be adopted in
another. There is but one salvation for
the South—the recognition of equal civil
and political rights of the colored people,
the protection of life for all opinions and
for all parties. Whatever may be said of
the irregularities by which the Kellogg
government was established, it is un
doubtedly true that it represented a ma
jority of the people of the State. But if
McEnery had been placed in office it
would have been by a fraud unequalled
in extent and wickedness.
To an honest, conscientious man—a
lover of his country and of truth—it must
have been a pitiful sight to sec this em
bodiment of physical and moral corrup
tion standing up before an audience of
easily persuaded listeners nnd uttering
such malignant falsehoods. No man
in the country knows better than Oliver
P. Morton that when he attempts to jus
tify the Radical outrages and persecutions
of the Southern people by charging upon
them wholesale murder, he is guilty of
wilful and malicious falsehood. No man
knows better than he does that under all
the circumstances of extreme persecution
the people of the South have been more
forbearing than could reasonably be ex
pected. He knows as well as any man
in bis infamous party that nine-tenths of
the alleged Southern murders reported to
the Northern press are pure fabrications
of lying Radical emissaries, concocted
for the basest political purposes. Mur
der ! wholesale murder ! is this creature’s
perpetual cry, his sole argument
and defen of every Radical out
rage. During the discussion of the
Kellogg usurpation in the Senate, a
year ago, he met the charges of corrup
tion and lawlessness by which the State
government had been overthrown with
the howl of murder! and repelled the un
answerable arguments of Senator Carpen
ter in favor of a restoration of the legally
elected State officers, with the false
charge that more than a thousand murders
had been perpetrated within the year in
Louisiana. Such persistance in falsehood
is absurd as it is base and malicious,
aiid the wonder is that sensible people at
the North should still pretend to be
deceived by it. If political murders real
ly have been perpetrated in Louisiana on
the scalp of magnitude represented
by Senator Morton, and the victims were
all politicians of the Radical party, there
would not now bo enough carpet-baggers
left in Louisiana to organize a ward
meeting, and it is reasonable to conclude
that office-holding in that State would
long since have ceased to offer induce
ment for Northern vagabond emigration.
The fact that so many of his partizans
have enriched themselves on the plunder
of the people of Louisiana, and aro still
living in the enjoyment of their ill-gotten
wealth, should be received as conclusive
proof of the utter falsehood of his state
ments.
The Radical Discoed in South Cabo-
lina.—The nomination of Chamberlain
for Governor by the South Carolina Re
publican Convention has not satisfied the
Tax-payers’ Association, and, it seems, is
repugnant to a portion of the Republican
party, who have organized a bolt. Ran-
sier. the colored Congressman, leads the
bolting movement, and last week he
organized what appears to have been
a pretty formidable anti-Chamberlain
demonstration in Charleston. Judge
John D. Green will, it is said, be the in
dependent candidate for Governor, and if
he is nominated the Democrats and the
Tax-payers’ Association will place no
candidate in the field. Chamberlain is as
thorough a Radical as Moses, and is said
to be a man of much political tact, added
to force of character. With the example
of Louisiana before him he need not des
pair, whatever the opposition to his elec
tion. If he can bribe a drunken United
States Judge like Durell to issue a mid
night order, and convince Grant of his
adhesion, of his willingness and ability to
promote his third-term aspirations, he
can be inaugurated Governor and sus
tained in power by the bayonets of the
United States army as Kellogg is sus
tained in power to-day. In determining
elections in tho Southern provinces in
the future, the ballot box must yield to
the cartridge box.
The Cabinet Divided on the Louisi
ana Outbage.—A Washington dispatch
says: “It is not true, as telegraphed from
here, that the Cabinet meeting were a
unit for the policy of installing Kellogg,
’finally adopted by the President. One of
the leading members of the Cabinet ex
pressed himself in favor of a military
government and an election under mili
tary auspices. Another member of the
Cabinet declared, after the session was
over, that this course of putting the State
in charge of a military government was
the one decidedly preferred, and that it
would have been adopted had the law
been found to jostify it. It is even said
that a majority of the Cabinet favored a
military government until they found the
President firm in sustaining Kellogg.”
So it appears that the cowardly usurper
Kellogg owes his restoration to the po
sition from which he had been driven by
the outraged and plundered people of
Louisiana to the same despotic and law-
defying will that first elevated him to
power at the point of the bayonet. And
yet Mr. Stephens says, “don’t blame
Grant!"
Civil Eights Et Haitl—The Haytians
hate a constitution whereby foreigners
({. g., white men) are subject to all ’the
obligations) taxes, da,, of citizen®, and
denied) at the sapie time, all the rights
of citizens. It is reported that the object
of this constitution, under which white
men have no rights which black men are
bound to respect, is to drive the whites
from the country. Such are the civil
rights of the black Republicans of Hayti.
m ■ ■■ i - ■ -
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Jou/rnal says that the
total expenses in transportation of troops,
etc., to help Kellogg to rob and steal,
will cost tho tax-payers from $500,000 to
$1,000,000.
great commercial city of
promising Stales of the Union eight thou
sand men, pretending to be loyal, law-
abiding citizens, have been organized,
armed, and drilled for the purpose of
overturning a government placed in power
by the mandates of the courts, sustained
in power by the executive authority, and
tacitly recognized by Congress, the ene
mies of Republicanism in the Old World
will rejoice. The entire story reads more
like the tale of a South American insur
rection than anything else.—Washington
Republican.
No doubt “the enemies of Republican
ism in the Old World would rejoice.” The
oppressions which excited snch a demon
stration as that in New Orleans must be
congenial to the enemies of Republicanism
everywhere. The Emperors of Germany,
Austria, and Russia will, .too, rejoice to
see the government of this country adopt
ing their own methods of suppressing
popular protests against arbitrary power.
It is true enough that “the entire story
reads more like tho tale of a South Amer
ican insurrection than anything else,”
and it might be added that tho policy
which led to it is more South American
than was ever before witnessed in North
America. It is to be feared that if per
severed in the political and social condi
tion of tho North and South American
States will become more and more assim
ilated, until “the enemies of Republican
ism of the Old World will rejoice” in
what they will claim as a demonstration
that the most intelligent races of men are
no better fitted for Republican govern
ment than the most ignorant and de
graded.—Baltimore Sun.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD COLLISION.
EXCITING NEWS FROM MEXICO,
According to the latest reports many
vineyards in smiling France have suffered
a blight this year. The cheap, light vin
ordinaire has risen 50 )>er cent, in price,
and now costs 30 cents a bottle. And
worse than all, the French hold the
American Continent responsible for the
blight. The delicious Catawba grape
was recently introduced into France from
Ohio, with the hopo that French domes
tication would add stiff more to its fruity
flavor, and French manipulation improve
the quality of tho wine made from it.
But unfortunately the “song of the vine
that grows by the beautiful river” is a
dirge to the Frenchman. The Catawba
vine has developed an insect whose gen
eric name is phylloxera, and the wretch
has wandered from his native grape to
the vines of France. It is this pest who
has added 50 per cent, to the price of
claret. Consumers maintain that this is a
fable for the benefit of the dealers, but
M. D. Conway throws the weight of his
testimony in favor of the story, and ad
mits that the blight is a serious matter,
audits source unquestionably American.
The PbaEtobian Guabd.—Immediately
on the promulgation of Grant’s Imperial
edict against the restoration of the legal
State government of Louisiana by tho
people, Secretary of War Belknap tele
graphed from Columbus, Ohio, that “the
officers composing the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland heartily en
dorsed the President’s action concerning
Louisiana.” In the days of the Republic
such a military endorsement would have
been regarded as exceedingly officious and
impertinent. In the declining days of
the Roman Empire, however, the case
was different. Then, when an usurper
overthrew the liberties of the people or
assassinated a political rival, he flew to
the camp of the Prmtorian Guard for its
“indorsement.” H Grant attempts a
third-term, his first step will doubtless
be to obtain the indorsement of the Socie
ty of the Army of the Cumberland.
The Imperial Ulysses on a Bender.—
We find the following dispatch in the
New York Sun of Friday:
Washington, September 17.—Presi
dent Grant came here last Saturday even
ing, and since then he has been on a hard
frolic, which culminated at the Astec din
ner in a most extraordinary exhibition.
They took him back to Long Branch to
cool"off. His nose was as flaming as a
locomotive headlight, and his legs as un
steady as the locomotive when it reck
lessly whirls over an unballasted track.
No wonder ho turns the government to
subordinates like Williams. Of
Williams finds the business quite profit
able.
For the credit of the American name
we would like to doubt this statement.
But we have seen in onr Northern ex
changes of late frequent insinuations of
the same import. The World intimates
that Grant had not got over the effects of
his Astec debauch when, at the solicitation
of Landaulet Williams, he put his signa
ture to the proclamation against the
people of Louisiana.
The Athens Watchman says it is re,
ported that Hon. Joshua Hill will shortly

speech impudently boasted that the nse of
troops in the South two years ago
“largely contributed to the overwhelm
ing majority” for Grant. Of course he

AN EXCITING SCHOOL ELECTION.
New Haven, Ct., September 22.—
There was a great deal of excitement in
this city to-day over-the election of three
Catholic members of the board of educa
tion and other minor officers, owing to
the fact that a prominent Roman Catho
lic clergyman had announced from his
pulpit that it is time for the Roman Cath
olics to act and get control of the hom'd,
so that their schools might be supported
by the public funds, and the Catholic
ticket was pnt in the field. Two mem
bers of the present board are of that re
ligious belief. The excitement called out
a vote of over 5,000, which was unprece
dented in the history of New Haven
School elections. About 1,400 votes were
cast for tho Catholic candidates, but they
were defeated and the regular nominees
were elected by a majority of about 1,-
500. The cumulative system being used,
many Roman Catholics condemn the
strong sectarianism used by the others,
and refused to vote the. Catholic ticket.

discovered a deposit ot-uoiGle earth,
with which she alhpjffii per cravings.
In a shortjKie' her body swelled
with _ erergr appearance 0 f diopsy,
Iter desire for clay abated, and she
suddenly set herself to devour green
vegetables, grass, and grain, until the
parents were troubled with a fear that
their crops would be destroyed before the
harvest arrived. At last the grasshop
pers, which had been gradually growing,
rose with a rushing sound; she rose from
the crouching attitude she had been com
pelled to assume; flapped her arms in im
itation of their movements, and yielded
np the ghost. An autopsy revealed the
presence of a crowd of full-fledged lo-
costs in her stomach. She had eaten
eggs with her earth, and partaken in
wardly of a grasshopper omelet. This is
a sad story. Parents who read it will
ever regard the mud-pie of ingenious in
fancy with peculiar aversion,_ and foroid
its introduction into the cuisine of the
play-ground as an abomination.

Rutherford county- at a place known as
Lock’s meeting-house, some twelve miles
north of Murfreesboro. Last Sunday
evening a negro told the white people of
the settlement that five or six hundred
negroes were arming with the intention
of murdering the whites in that •vicinity,
the following day or night, whereupon
the citizens armed themselves and pre
pared to resist the expected attack.
Scouts were sent out, and reported upon
returning-that they had heard a number
of voices on a high point, known as the

news being received, the white ladies and
children left the neighborhood for a
point of greater safety. Our informant
says that five negroes have been arrested,

the following: “Although a true'Repub

shall be falsified and slandered. It re
flects on Republicans as well as Demo
crats. I have canvassed this county
already fonr times this fall in the interest
of the Republican party, and justice and
truth impel me to declare that I never
saw a more peaceful, orderly, law-abiding
people, both white and colored. Not a
man has been killed nor a single outrage
committed on account of political feeling.
Free speech and Republican opinions can
be indulged in anywhere. The best feel

and Democrats.” -Mr. Jones is a Repub
