The ‘Horrible Outrage’ of the Telegraph. We were astonished to see in Satur day morning’s edition of the Telegraph 4' Messenger a leading article headed “Horrible Outrage.” “A man receives five hundred lashes and is then flayed alive and burned at the stake.” The editor sa}S that the facts come to him in such a shape that he “cannot” discredit them; and furthermore, that the only thing chaiged against the vic tim, Adam Sekoh, is, that he was a mem- her of the Republican party! Our astonishment arises from the fact that as sensible and experienced a man as the Editor of the Telegraph allowed himself to be so imposed on as to pub lish that April fool. I? bears the lie stamped on its very la •. But a plot deeper laid than a mere April fool is disclosed. # Tbc election in Connecticut came off yesterday, and the whole “out rage” published, was done by some de signing knave to influence the election in that Stdte and secure a Radical tri umph. How the Telegraph could have overlooked this tact, passes our compiftr hension. This article is, ere this, trump eted by every Radical sheet throughout the entire State of Connecticut, and it icill have its influence. The Telegraph has injured the Democratic party more by publishing that “Hoax” than it, we fear can ever atone for. In the Sunday’s issue the Editor comes out and admits that he allowed himself to be duped, and contradicts the v, hole statement. The “victim” came in and made himself known, ami that disproved the story. The Telegraph map not have been duped, but if not. so much the worse. It has given the Radicals of the North fresh food for slander, that will nourish them a long while. Many people are outraged and incensed that such a thing was published in a paper professing to be Democratic, and the Telegraph has been greatly injured in this section; numbers of its subscribers here expicssed their intention to discontinue, and sev eral of our prominent men have deter mine ! that a paper which can or will be imposed on as this one has, by either knaves or Radicals, cannot have their support. Even if the whole affair had been true, no mention should have been made of it, especially at this juncture. Heretofore, we have liked the Tilegraph fiuely, and have considered it a number one paper; but if this is its style, all true Democrats will desert it. Come, neighbor, try to retrieve your blunder, and be more careiul in future. Don’t be the organ of the Radical party in spite of yourself. Don’t he “Ilokes- ed” any mere by such barefaced lies. The next time, spell “Sekoh” back wards. Col. Carey W. Stiles of the Albany Neics, states that he will discontinue the publication of his semi-weekly, and send out only the weekly, until the lirst ol October, at which time he hopes to start a daily. Albany must he growing rapidly, to be able to sustain a daily paper. « «. The question “Who is Nemesis ?” Is being asked pretty generally, and sever al have tried to answer it. The opinion seems now to be gettit:g general that ibis person is Salem Dot r of New York, former edi or of the Avgusta Can stiluhonalist. Of this, however, then is no certainty, it being merely a surmise. Hon. Nelson Tift has published a loi ter to his constituents of the Second Congressional District, in which lie no tifies them that he lias withdrawn all claim to Ins seat in Congress. He does this not because of the injustice of hi claim, hut because lie sees that the UuJi cal party is determined not to a<iiu<i any Democrat if they can prevent. The committee, to whom he made the nec essary explanations to convince them ol his tight, refused to take action on the maite.r, thought they were satbfbd that he was the lega iy elected candidate. Not wishing ilieiefore to incur a use less expense, upon the party who sup ported him, be retires to private life again, satisfied that he has done his duty, and he now leaves the rest to the future, in confident expectation that re. tribution will come upon that party whose villainies and frauds have kept the South, in her present demoralized rebellious (?) state. Among the April fools inflicted on I the ordeal ol ballot-boxes which are newspapers we notice a circular from Macon, Ga , proposing to furnish impecu nious editors and publishers with a read; printed and edited paper, all free gratis fur nothing. Whenever you see a paper carrying the head “Independent Journal” “Po litically Independent,” you need not look in other columns for ‘ A Proclama tion’’by II B. Bullock; they are almost sure to be there. Bullock knows his own too well to leave them out in the cold without an invigorating dose o* Proc. The Bambridge editors have the bei-t idea of eaoli other’s true character, that could he imagined. Wo believe every word they 7 say of each other because it is all their amongst themselves, and they have better means of knowing than any body else. Y\ hat an idea the public must have of Bainbridge, judging from the tone and style of its papers. We give be low' the latest from tliis center of civili zation. This is from the Argus. Shocking.—Tnat bag-eyed, sap-head ed butt end of ignorance and presump tion, who squats in the sanctum of Jno. Hayes, the Bun man, advertises that he is to be married soon. Poor woman, we pity you from our heart, for your days will he few and full of trouble/ And tl ri» is from the San. R. Johnsing who facetiously calls himself “Assistant Local Editor” o! that satire on journalism, the Bainbridge Argus, let of a batch of pet names at us in ins last issue, depicting us as “that bag-eyed, snp headed butt end of igno rance.” AY e seldom deal in the iudiscrimate use of adjectives, but if we did we would sail into that mush headed, thick headed, big-footed, red eyed, vain-look- ing, deceitful, egotistical, dull, stupid, nonsensical, conceited, jig-dancing hum bugging. bom snoggbug, pretending; jackassical ignoramus, It. Johnsing; whose mole-head is inaccessable to light enough to allow him to discover what a c nsummate as- he is making of himself, in the estimation of the public. A\ e give below a leader from the New York Sun, (Radical,) to let our readers kuow that even the Ncth is begining to know wliat is the cause ol the contin u rns “rebellion” in the South. When the sentiments ol this article are believed throughout the North, peace will imme diately be re.-t >red, and there will he no inoie of Ivu klux proclamations from Waahington. Gen. Grant has issued a procla mation declaring that an insuriec- j don exists in South Carolina, warn ing the insurgents to disperse, ami threatening to send troops there io put them down if they do not o- i)ey the Presidential edict. The Tribune tears that when die armv arrives in die Palmetto Slates it "ill net he aide to find the insurrec tion. \\ e think this will t urn out to be so. Undoubtedly theie is a good deal of disorder iu some portions of the South, which is without any valid excuse, and therefore ought to cease. Nevertheless, we are of ihe opinion diat its extent and charactei are much exaggerated, and the latent cause of it either misunderstood or misrepresented. The exaggeration and misrepresentation are mainly due to partisan feeling, and the mis understanding to ignorance of the facts. The filter can be rectified only by a thorough examination through a lauly constituted Commit me of C< ngiess, such as the two Houses seem inclined to appoint. Phe zeal wiih which the picture is over-colore I just at this juncture is owing to die tact that the Connecti cut election is at hand, the San Do mingo Commissioners are expected, and while Grant’s Administration is on its last legs lie is determined to force his reiiomination at whatever cost. When an rvd is to be removed, wise men inquire into its cause.— What then is the primal source of .Southern disorders ? Many open to all citizens, and which are; allowed to router office upon their favorites without restriction. When , this is done, the President may with a good grace insist that the Southern Slates obey the lows. Of one thing die Republican par ty may be assured. They cannot maintain their supremacy in the South by political disabilities, coer cive legislation, and tin* sword ol the Executive. The mere suspicion that they are attempting to uphold their power in that section of the Union by such means will recoil upon them with resistless eliect in the North anil West. The people are not satisfied in regard to the ex istence of the alleged farts on which it is proposed to base so much exceptional legislative and execu tive action. They demand the proofs. Let Congress, then, ap point committee to take the testimo ny, and in the mean time let the President he sparing of his procla- tions and his bayonets. As the case now stands, considerate men, whose nerves are sieadv and who have no partisan ends to subserve, do not believe that the country is on die eve of another rebellion, and look upon much of this clamor in Con gress and the Executive Chamber as upon a mere device to strengthen the military arm of the Executive and enable Gen. Grant to control the appointment of the delegates from the Southern States in the Na tional Convention of the Republican party next year.

On all these articles Holden was impeached by a two- thirds v te, and is hereafter disquali fied forever from holding any place of emolument or trust in the State of North Carolina. The government of Noith Carolina under Holden’s administration was the most corrupt of all the carpet-bag gov ernments in the South.

But even wish this disclaimer, we do not accept as provable—we hail almost said possible—either of the distinguished Georgians whose names have been so purely conjectured, as their author—tin less we regard as a small ruse (the better to sustain an inrogntto) the apparently deliberate insertion of ti e.name of “J.is.

It may he a blunder of our owu : but we totally fail to call to our mind, any such incumbent; and ior such slight error, must ignore the probability that ei ther the Hon. Herschel Y Johnson, Gsn.

Bat the paternity ibo current ; but the main fiwntain is ihe character and conduct of the carpet-bag administrations which rule and rob the reconstructed states. At the close of ihe war, ■ldventuieis from the North, draw ing to their support nearly the entire negro vole, g<d control of those ad ■ ministrations; and by the aid of Congress and Gen. Grant, these adventurers have contrived to keep in power in nearly all those Slates down lo the present hour. Through out these six years, the loimer rul- mg elements of the South, excluded *y the 1< ourteeuth Amendment from participation in the government ol iiieir Siates, are nuiurally incensed against the domination of men ol lit. lie character and substance, w ho do not really reside in the country which they lule, who treat it as vultures treat their prey, who are ready to leave it as soon as they have glutted iheir greed, and who, in furtherance of their schemes ot plunder, are piling up mountains ol debt that are sinking those Stales into hopeiess bankruptcy. Coercive acts of Congress, and the bayonets of the United States anny, can never cute these evils. The first step toward reform is to r move all civil disabilities from all classes, and concede all rights to everybody and then compel these will create division and strife iu the Radical camps. The disaffection has begun to sprout already. The Cincinnati Commercial (Republican) says that ai the recent Radical caucus in Columbus Ohio, Federal office holders made an ef fort to procure the endorsement iff Grant for next Presidency, but that it was cried down contemptuously, a leading Republican declaring that the Radical party had load enough to carry with • out shouldering Grant, the Dents and Domingo. The truth of the matter is that Grant is such a consummate simple ton that any party of ordiuary inteli- gence which Supports him stultifies it- 8,-if. A man without sense cannot long occupy such an eminence in an en lightened country.
