Sherman’s Bill. Nothing can be of more importance or of more special and general interest to tbe people -of -the South, than the political fate which awaits them at the hands of Congress. What that fate will be, we cannot foresee. It ia easy to indulge in suppositions and conjectures but not so easy to foretell what it will be. For our part, we do not be lieve that Sherman’s bill will pass the House of Representatives. It is not severe enough iu its details to satisfy the hatred and vindictiveness of Thad deus Stevens, the whippcr-iu of that body; and it will, therefore, be so ameuded as to conform to his military bill; and between the two measures, the unfortunate South will, we appre hend, go bobbing up and down like a shuttle cock between two battledoors. Thus, to-day we shall be kept in fear of a Territorial and Provincial Govern ment, under the Presidential patronage, and to-morrow of a Military Govern ment, under the authority of the Com mander-in-Chief. Between the .two evil and wrong as both are in principal, in theory, and in practice—there is yet somewhat of a choice between them. Mr. Stevens’ bill consigns us almost entirely to the mercy of a military satrapy, disfranchising nearly all of our people, aud depriviug us of nearly all our civil rigbts. On the contrary, Mr. Sherman leaves us somewhat in the hands of the President, who is to have the appointment of the Provisional Gov ernors, the suspension of capital sen tences, aud the Habeas Corpus to con tinue in force. With these provisions, our political fate will be less burthen some, and, therefore, more bearable, than under Mr. Stevens’ bill. But we hope that neither one will become law- The members of Congress ought to know, and mu.stknow, that any measure which effects the liberties of the South, must also effeet the liberties of the North ; and that in shackling us they are but forging chains with which to bind their own section to ruin, poverty, and disgrace. Knowing this, they will not, we hope, result to the enforcement of such hard measures as they are con tinually bringing before each House. These measures will do very well to unite and strengthen their party, for a time, but they will eventually react upon themselves and bring failure and defeat where they look for victory and success. They are wise enough to see this ; and hence, they will “keep the ball in mo tion,” by continually keeping before Congress such harsh measures as those to which we have alluded. But they will, in our judgement, finally adopt some plan which will be less severe than these mentioned, and so, while keeping up to the strict requiremenfs of Radical principles, in theory, deviate somewhat n practice for policy’s hake. The Cretan Revolution. It is a little singular that the North ern Radicals should become so vindictive and spiteful towards tbe South for attempting to achieve its independence, and, at the same time express the most earnest sym pathy for the rebels of Ireland and of Crete. They are inconsistent. They don’t practice what they preach. It is all right for tbe Irish people and the Candian people to rebel against their Governments, and to involve nations in war, as is now threatened in the cose of the Cretans, but it is all wrong for the Southern people to attempt the same thing. Well, we do not intend here to defend the right of revolution, or to condemn the Cretans or any pther people for at tempting to throw off the yoke of politi cal despotism. We should be pleased to see Republicanism—a pure Repub licanism however—established every where, if the people were fitted for it. But as this is an impossibility, why,tbe next best thing is for the people to be consistent; and if they condemn our people for asserting their independence, mete out tbe same judgement to all others who make tbe same attempt. The Cretans may be a very good peo ple—a very persecuted people—but they must be a rather barbarous people, if the account is true that several Turkish outposts had been captured and no quarter given. Besides this, we observe) by late European accounts, that the Sultan of Turkey has resolved to eman cipate his Christian subjects from ull disabilities, aud has issued a call for a Turkish Parliament, This is an im portant and generous movement, which we strongly commend to the considera tion of our Radical friends. Let them sympathize with rebellious Cundiu ii they please, but let them also imitate the conduct of the Sultan and emanci pating the so-called rebels of the South, from all disabilities, re-establish a peace ful and prosperous Uniop. The following paragraphs are from the New York 'fribune of the 12th inst. The Sultan, seeing no other escape from the troubles aiming ou every side, has resolved to emancipate the Cbria tiass from all disabilities and has issued a card for a Turkish Parliament. This is an important Rove, but whether, it will have tbe destwd effiset is more than doubtful. 0**"". Our special disaatche* from Constan tineple an noence that Turkey Is maklag great preparations for war. This ap pears to iudicate that Russia iutends to reopen the Eastern question, and that the Cratscu revolution 4S about to result in more important hostilities. Steven*’ Military Bill. Editor Daily Prats:— Tbq bitterest enemy of tbe Radical majority in tbe XXXIXth Congress could scarcely have devised a more crushing condemnation of Gieir utter failure to perform the great work which they undertook, than that which they have pronounced upon themselves, in the Bill which Thaddeus Stevens has framed for tbe reconstruc- tion (f) of the Southern States. It is a confession of imbecility which condemns them to a more infamous distinction than that of ‘‘the fool that fired the Ephesian dome,” while it is the most lawless subversion of popular lib erty, aud the most daring betrayal of popular trust, -of which any representa tive body has ever been guilty. From the 4th of December, 1866, to the pres ent hour, the representatives of the Northern States, arrogating to them* selves the sole power and authority to regulate the Government of “the United. States lately in rebellion,” have had the subject of reconstruction under consid eration to the almost total exclusion o* every other subject; aud at the end of that time, just as they are about to pass out of legislative existence,.they abolish civil government of every kind, abrogate the Constitution root and branch, and hand over the millions of people whom they choose to denominate rebels, to the complete, absolute, and irrespon sible control of a little Brigadier Gene ral, whose sovereign will is to be their sole law, and whose nod is to be their supreme guide. These satraps are to en force, not our laws, for these and our right to grant them are wiped out; not the laws of the United States, for these do not apply to the punishment ot lnr. ceny, burglary, felony, and other kin dred crimes, to the enforcement of contracts, or the regulation of the vari ous relations of individual citizens ; but such laws and regulations as they may see fit to establish within the limits ot their respective provinces. The writ of Habeas Corpus, and trial by jury are to be abolished, and our lives, liberties, and property, placed indefinitely at the mercy of the Brigadier General and his underlings. To read this reconstruction measure, which it took two years to devise, no body could suppose that profound peace, not only in the meaning of the Consti tution and the laws, but in fact and common sense, reigns in the States which are to be thus remanded to mili tary control. One would suppose that flagrant war and insurrection existed everywhere, and that Congress was only providing the means of repelling iuva sion and suppressing insurrection, which the supreme law has conferred upon that body. But Union men and negroes must be protected Irwn the appalling persecutions ami outrages which they are suffering, at our rebel lious hands 1 The tender hearts of Thad Stevens and B. Butler are lace rated by the accounts which they re ceive by every mail, of the battle, murder, and sudden death, to which Union men and freedmen are exposed in all the rebel Stites; and as there cannot be a shadow of a doubt that their informants are correct, and that the denial of such miscreants a3 we are is not to be credited, even though it be on oath, what can the fountains of benevolence and mercy do but send us a Brigadier, whose duty it shall be to stimulate our loyalty by bayonets, soothe our troubled spirits by imprison ment, lighten our burden of care and responsibility by confiscation, and in struct us in the knowledge and practice of sell-government, by enforcing a servile, unconditional obedience to his decrees ? A copperhead, a miserable conservn tive, or a truculent rebel, may have rtc pected that the powerful, super-loyal aud Union-loving majority in Congress, after two years anxious deliberation, might have devised some measure which even squinted towards peace, harmony, restoration of friendly relations and con fidence between the North and South, and might have held out to us, vile sin uers though we be, some remote pros pect of living once more under a free government of our own choosing, and under laws of our own making. These poor disbelievers in the omniscience and omnipotence of the Radicals, may think that to hand over one third of the coun try and one third of the population to the most odious kind of military despot ism, is not exactly in harmony with the spirit of republican institutions, aud can hardly be said to accord with those principles of self-government which for many years American citizens have been taught to admire, respect and cherish as the palladium of liberty; and they might even go to the extreme length ot thinking that the men who passed such a law have not exactly supported, pro tected and defended the Constitution of the United States, as they promised on oath, inasmuch as there are portions of that old instrument which forbid the suspension of the great writ, guarantee a trial by jury, and that a speedy one, to all accused persons, and expressly guard against the systein ri ofgoverntncnt which the little brigadiers are likely to follow and execute. Shellaburgcr' insists that we are at trar, and must be treated as it we were in arms against the government which is straining every nerve to preserve the Union. Boutwell would regard it as the “greatest possible calamity,” if the their executive, legislative aud judicial brigadier* are not ordered to enter on function* at the earliest practicable mo- Bkeut) aud Thayer enthusiastically and piously hail* tbe establishment of an ig* nor ant and brutal military despotism . *s “an initial point from which the nation can safely start in the adjustment of this momentous question,” aud which has • direct tendency to “secure uuiform liberty, uniform happiness, and uniform prosperity throughout) the length and breadth of the whole country.” Iu view'of such .» calamity as this bill must bring upon ns, even though the Supreme Court Would ultimately declare it void, ought not our people, while we protest against such, oppression, prove to the masses of the Northern people, who are made to believe that we murder, burn, and lash Union men and negroes every day, that their stories sre infa mous falsehoods, that we are anxious for peace, willing to make concessions, and ready to accept the terms of Sena ator Dixon’s amendment? By such an exhibition of our disposition we would materially strengthen the conservatives who have tried to defeat Stevens’ revolu tionary measure, and perhaps save our selves from the iron grasp of the Prse torian guards who are being mustered for our destruction. Xylon. BaTTI/E BeTWEKK A NKGBO AND A Hoq.—Tbe Baton Rouge Comet wives the death of a negro under circum stances of the most singular character. The negro had been hunting wild hogs, and shot one, but the wound not proving mortal, a struggle took place. The Comet says : “The negro and tbe hog were both found dead—the negro with his under jaw firmly held within thj jaws of his - formidable antagonist, whose upper teeth had penetrated within tbo negro’s pionth, while its under teeth held fast to the chin of the poor darkey, who in this strange encounter proved both victim and victimizer.” Special Notices.

THURSDAY EVENING, FKB. 21, 1886. THE PUBLIC ARE RESPECTFULLY informed tbat Mr. WMi HANLON, assisted by his two brothere, GEORGE, and ALFRED HANtON, will appear In hie marvellous act of “ZAraPIUUjEBOSTATION P* the most daring performance that h; • ever been presented upon any Stage, or before any audience in the world I Eor this performance, three trapeze) or swings bave been built, and secured down tbe centre ©f tbe auditorium, with tbe elevated platforms or starting pl»cee at each termination of tho trapeior. Thn enormous space of the auditorium is tra versed in the incredibly daring feat of Mr. WILLIAM HANLONi Leaping from the bar of one trapeze to tbe other, nntil be afrivea at the final platform, some idea of ' the superlr courage aud agility displayed in this feat may be formed. The great novelty and wonder consists in the fearful speed and consummate grace with which tpo daring gymnast dashes through tho air, as well as the unwavering judgment and unerring aecuraey necessary to insure bis catching at a oertain angle, the oscil lating bar which is thrown upwards to meet his grasp when he makes his forward leap. Hs next takes tbe trapeze in bis bands and springs forward, and on making the leaps to tho second and third trapezes, h« actually revolves in the air, turning himself entirely round before he reaches them. After this, to cap the terror of the whole performance, he repeats the leap from one trapezo to the other, making a somersault iu the air in the interval from leaping the one bar until he reaches the nekt. No one can fully realize the per formance without peeing it, when it will be candidly admitted to be completely beyond rivalry, both in the boidnoss of its concep tion, add the unexeinplod daring of its execution, making a legitimate claim to tbe appellation of the most marvellous feat ever presented to the publio.
