A special to the New York World says
that A. 8. Paddock, the newly elected U.
8. Senator of Nebraska, ia a pronounced
Conservative, and was a supporter of
Andrew Johnson. The Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature voted for hiss.
Tna importers of tea are said to be
strongly in favor of the President’s rec
ommendation to re-impose a tax of 15
cents per poand on that article. The rea
son ia obvious. They have imported
heavy etooks of tea free of duty—the
supply now.io the country being estimated
at not less than 75,000,000 or 80,000,000
pounds—and should the proposed tariB
be imposed, they will simply add and
pocket 15 cents more per pound, and not
pay a dollar into the Treasury.
A which or two ago it was stated that
some one had bargained to sell one thou
sand shares of Central Railroad stock at
$50 per share. It has since advanced to
963 or more. We suppose that the per
son mentioned above in the one alluded to
by the Savannah Advertiser of Sunday,
whioh says: “The party who sold the
thousand shares of Central railroad stock
short has come to grief. He had planked
up 96 ,000 margin np to Friday, and yes
terday was oalled on for 95,000 more. It
is from the present outlook likely to prove
a dear transaction to the “bear."
discretion of taking or helping to take a
human being’s life, is to put him uudor
bonds (7) Baglay in bailed and so ends
the tragedy, which is followed by the
customary farce; the curtaia rings down,
and we wait for the next play, uncertain
only of the actors, but sure of the monot
onous drama of blood, and certain of the
subsequent burlesque on justice. How
one grows accustomed to hearing of men
slain, of Beeiug men carrying poorly con
cealed weapons, and of listening to the
hero of the idle as he tells “just how he
fixed that fellow.’’ Well, well, let it go;
it is no doubt a natural outgrowth of the
oliraate, like cotton and we are lost
Now that the Conservatives of Lou
isiana have determined to make an
other effort to oonvince a Radical Con
gressional oommittee of the juetioe of
their course, we aro glad to learn that
they are going to work in an effective
manner, and will be likely to strengthen
the judgment of the oouutry, if they do
nut uverooue the prejudices of tho com
mittee. A New Orleans special ssys tho
Conservatives are preparing evidenoo to
show that two-thirds of the negroes killed
in this State have been killed by negroes,
and the majority of the remainder were
caught' by white men in the commission
of some crime, snob as arson, burglary,
rape, etc., when killed. The official
records of different parishes will be
brought in as evidence in support of these
statements.
Indiana on thk Cuhbknox.—The Dom-
ooratic caucus of members of the Legis
lature of Indiana, immediately bofore
nominating Mr. MeDonald for Unitod
Mates Senator, Uunuimonsly passed the
following resolutions, which are to be re
garded as the platform upon which Mr.
McDonald was elected. He is claimed by
some as an advucate of an early return to
specie payments, and the resolutions of
the oauous, however vague they may be
on that poiut, certainly promise speoie
payments os Boon as tho Finsnoe bill
passed by the Republicans of Congress.
Here are the resolutions:
1. We are in favor of the redemption of
the five-twenty bonds in greenbacks, ac
cording to the law under which they were
issued.
2. We are in favor of the repeal of tho
law of March, 1863, which assumed to
eoustrue the law sc as to make such bonds
payable exclusively in gold.
3. We are iu favor of tho repeal of the
National IlAnking law, and the substitu
tion of greenbacks for the national bank
currenoy.
4. We are in favor of a return to Bpecie
payments as soon as the business inter
ests of the oountry will permit.
5. We are iu favor of such legislation
from time to time as will adjust the vol
ume of the currency to the commercial
and industrial wants of tho oountry.
ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Monday, 25th.—Iu the Senate, the oom
mittee on re-districting the State an
nounced that they would report to-mor
row ; and tho oommittee on Louisiana
uffairs gave notice of a report on Wednes
day. Mr. Curtis presented a “Civil
Rights” bill, which provoked some re
marks on the inconsistency of offering
such a bill after the Radical party had
deolared against it in Stato convention
last summer. A moti on to lay the bill on
the table was lost by a vote of 12 to 16,
and it was then referred. Hills were in
troduced—By Mr. Dereon, to regulate ap
peals to tho Supreme Court in actions of
ejectment; by Mr. Groene, for the relief
of Solomon MoCull of Uullouk county—
both referred. The Seuate passed a bill
to facilitate a suit against the State for
compensation for surveying swamp and
overflowed bind ; also a resolution in
structing the Judiciary Committeo to in
quire into the practicability of reducing
the Judioial Circuits and Chancery Divis
ions ; also the bill providing for amend,
iug the Code so as to allow the removal
and appointment of Registers in Chan
cery.
In the House, among the new bills
introduced were the following: By Mr.
Crews, to regulate the trial of oases iu
criminal courts in the city of Eufuula;
also to require convicts to work out the
amount of the property stolen, iu Bar
bour county; by Mr. Matthews, to pro
hibit druggists from selling liquor without
lioense; Mr. Butler, to authorize a gener
al election on the subject of tho cotton
tax—all referred. The House took up
and passed the Revenue bill, by nearly a
party vote. The Advertiser ssys that the
bill makes some important changes in the
mode and manner of assessing and ool-
leoting revenue. Many articles hereto
fore exempt from taxation will hereafter
bear their proper proportion of the bur
thens of government. There is no ex
emption of property from taxation, and
railroads are made subjeot to county tax
ation. The bill has yet to run the gaunt
let of the Senate and will doubtless be
considerably amended, but there ia hardly
a doubt that the bill will becomo a law as
to its most important features.
—Dr. Win. Adams, a dentist of Orion,
Alabama, died suddenly of appoplexy, in
Troy, on the 16th inst. Tho Messenger
says he died in about three hours after
receiving the stroke, and before his wife

—Two popular and useful citizens of
Houston county died on Saturday—Mr.

that it canses a sensation at Washington
X tew words of explanation may be need
ed here. Reference is made to the late
lottor of Mr. Wilson to the editor of the
Springfield Republican,and that letter cer
tainly dees not justify the inference that
Mr. Wilson has “deserted" or will desert
the Republican party. On the contrary,
it shows that he adheres to it with extra
ordinary hope and tenaoity in a period of
defeat and distraction, and that his aim
is to put it on its legs again. The Spring-
field Republican (a Liberal Republican
paper) had said that Mr. Wilson agreed
with it that the parly was dead. Mr.
Wilson commouoes his latter by denying
for the name of some other product that I ai». continues:
is grown here to round tho comparisiou Tho party has mado mistakes and is
grown here to round tho comparisiou
properly. Perhaps the error is in our
selves and that pistols and knives are the
evidences of a higher civilization, and the
killing of some one essential to truu man
hood and knightly spurs. One thing is
certain, there is no murder in this land;
if anybody dares to whisper that “this is
a mistake, and that an occasional
murder-is oommitied," he places him
self in a position where be must acknow
ledge the absence of justice. We con
cede the culture, the hospitality, and the
undoubted courage of tho gentlemen who
have shot somebody, or are perfectly
ready to shoot ur stab somebody; but we
mud, with due rospoct and no desire to
offend or hurt their sensitive natures,
nrge mildly, though firmly, the effeot of
this sort of thing on the population. That
tbuso whom we have angered, by being
so plain heretofore, may see we are truly
and humbly repentant, and that wo have
noma grounds for what we say, we offer
the following curious aud instructive sta
tistics in proof of what we here trem
blingly venture to assert.
Wilfeiu the last six weeks four men
have died by violent moans in our good
city of Columbus—two tiy pistols and
two by kuives. One of those we should
remark, in passing, was a negro, and per
haps he ought not to oount; but wo will
pnt him in on constitutional grounds, and
for the sake of the fifteenth amendment,
against our prejudices. Now Columbus,
let us say, bos nine thousand
inhabitants; all the killings wore
inside the corporate limits; so that,
if the rest of tho Repnblic kept
up with her in this enterprise we should
havo us a total for the last six weeks
13,332 killing* for tbo whole Uniou, or
more meu than woro killed on the battle
field during the most bloody forty-two
days of the late wur. New York, Brook
lyn aud Jersey City, though under differ
ent corporations, are in fact one city,
with a population of about 1,800,031);
and this population has in it the vory
worst elements of every nationality, b t
to keep pace with us ia the matter under
consideration, the bullet and the kuife,
since the 12th day of Deaember last
should have taken off 800 of hor people.
Quaker Philadelphia with Camden should
contribute a quota of 400 similar deaths,
Puritan Boston about one-half that num
ber. Wo learn from tho police records
that there have been thirty-six killings in
Columbus in tho last nine years, so that
the recent dash exceeds tho average, aud
is really one year’s work. Let us hope it
■nay remain as it is. With this list as the
produot of oouooalod weapons, and
we might venture to aJd the utter
inefficiency of the law in this matter, Now
York and her sister oities should have tho
record of 7,200 violent deaths, Philadel
phia and Camden 3,600, and Boston about
1,800; and if the samo average prevailed
throughout the whole oouutry, tho num
ber of violent deaths would be for tho
nine years 160,000, or nearly double the
number of meu actually killed in battle
duriug the whole civil war.
It is not pleasant to coDsidor this Bub-
jeot, and we preseut the above facts as at
least worthy of consideration. They ex
ist, and it behooves every good citizen to
consider the remedy; aud the good citi
zens are largely iu the majority, bn
might we bo permitted to say they a: o loo
conservative lo lake suy active steps for
the suppression of what they considei a
wrong to thomselveB aud an injustice to
the city 1 Our ouomies would have tho
world believe the killings—we will say
murder no more in thia connection—that
the killings are the result of political
hate. But this is uutrue. They have
not, with few exceptions, a plea
so patriotic. Arms, whisky aud
a contempt for life, with
powerless courts and weak juries,
tell the whole story. Iu tho face of al 1
our “killings" no man has boen convicted
of “murder.” 8o the gallows is a myth,
and the sheathed sword of justice is rusty
and rotting iu its scabbard.
Wo have never alluded to auy man ac
cused of arituo from a personal motive,
nor do we bring this subject up to provo
we are right. We now mildly ask is this
thing to continue ? Are the many good
men to bear the orimos of tbo lawless few?
Is Columbus, with all her possibilities of
greatness, to sacrifice it by continuing
to merit wbat stands on record, or will
the people forget little individual inter
ests soma day, aud, by vindicating law,
punish rich and poor criminals alike for
the oommon good ? C.
1IURA11 FOU JOIIXSO.N !
Perhaps wo are almost solitary and
alone in raising the shout. But we feel
more satisfied in the election of Andrew
Johnson than in that of any other Sena
tor chosen this month. We feel satisfied
that Tennessee uow sends to the Senate
a man who know* a great deal that will
worry the ltadioals in their prosecution of
the war on the people of the South, and
who has both the will and the ability to
use wbat he knows with telling effect.
His election will both madden
and terrify that party. He will be the
sorest thorn in the side of President Grant
for the remainder of his term. Rhod-
eriok Butler faithfully expressed the feel
ings of the Radicals at Washington to
wards Johnson, when he telegraphed
from that city to Nashville the other day :
“For God’s sake don’t send Andy here.
We would rather have the devil at once.
This is what we all say, from Gen. Grant
down. ”
now puying the penally of tboae mis
takes ; but its ideas, principles aud gen
eral politics have not been condemned.
It his been taught by recent disasters that
it is mortal, aud if it is wise it will heed
those lessous. It would seem that neither
selfi-ihnesH nor stupidity could faii to un
derstand them or could misinterpret their
import. If the Republican party now
dies it will die by the band of the suicide,
for there is no arm, ortber than its own,
potent enough to strike it down. It can
not, I think, hope to recover its los' pres
tige aud power by a policy of rewards and
punishments, or by party discipline.
There are hundreds of thousands iu the
Republiouu party to-day who spurned the
bribes and frowus of power and left the
Whig uud Democratic parties for the sake
of principles deemed by them important
and sacred. These man cannot be se
duced by the blandishments of power,
nor greatly moved by threats of
discipline. More politicians, who
think they can govern by the
whip of party discipline, will flud that
they cannot thus touch or oontrol the
thoughtful aud independent meu who
struck the lash from the hand of the slave
masters. Nor can we recover what is lost
iu Massachusetts or in the country by the
impertiuunt iutermeddliug of office-hold
ers in nominations and elections. Office
holders should leant from the recent elec
tions that they can servo the Republican
party beat by performing their official
duties with scrupulous fidelity.
The people should be left free to man
age in their own way, and wilhout official
interference, their primary meetings end
elections, for, rightfully or wrongfully,
they have houn compelled to believe that
there are those holding oflica in Massa
chusetts, in tho country, and especially at
the South, some of them in important po
sitions, who do not fitly represent the de
sires and wishes of their localities, and
who have not the public confidence. Tho
party, burdened by such, ia not lisely to be
led to victory by their obtrusive interfer
ence, either in Massachusetts or the coun
try, North or Booth. '1 be disastrous divis
ion of the Republican party in 1872 was to
mo a distressing eveut. It seemed to me
to be the unnecessary separation of com
rades who had toiled together for so
many years for noble purposes and a glo
rious cun. I did all I could, by remon
strance uud appeal, to prevent it, and
have since sought to reunito what was
thou so disastrously and unuocssarily
broken. And I would now throw the
doors wide open for the return of those
who voted for Mr. Greeley in 1872, and
earnestly invito them to reunite again
with their old associates. Indeed, at any
moment since that election, I would have
pursued a generous and magnanimous
policy toward the men who then left ns,
and now, without the loss of n single
hour, 1 would in all sincerity extend the
band of icooncilistion.
An all i-nlivo perusal of this extract will
show that Mr. Wilson does propose lo re
build tho Republican party by the “deser
tion" of n portion of its leudors, aud the
calling back to its ranks of a portion of
the party who have left it. As this iB a
proposition nearly concerning ns, we wish
to direct attention to it. He proposes to
cut aloof from the carpet-baggers aud
scallawags who have plundered and mis
governed tho South—the Kelloggs, Ames,
Hays, Whites and others uf that class,
who are now olaraoring for Federal inter
vention in State affairs and for local gov
ernments upheld by Federal bayonets.
His meaning is unmistakable. A deser
tion of this class of scurvy Radicals im
plies a desertion of Geu. Grant also, who is
their friend and patron, aud whose in
trigues for a third terra Mr. Wilson had
previously and pluinly denounced. For
this ho is called ii “deserter" by the Grunt
wiug of tho party. Though there is no
direct nllusion to President Grant in tho
letter, it comes us near us possible to an
arraignment of the Frosident for tho dis
asters and “mistakes" of the party, with
out mentioning his name or position.
Tho reader cun hardly foil to understand
it.
As we havo said, the letter c.eai ly con
doms ns of the South, and in this way :
It shows that Gen. Grunt aud the oarpet-
bag Congressmen from the South have
strong Republican opposition in their
schemes for continuing Radical rule iu
this section Vice-President Wilson in
vites n renewed alliance with the Liberal
Republicans, which can only be effected
upon the fundamental Libornl principle
of allowing local self-government to the
Southern '-tales. This is a proposed di
vergence from the path marked out
by Grant and the Radicals who adhere
to him. It is a proposition to “recon
struct" tho Republican party by repudi
ating the policy of the extremists and
adopting that of the liberals. Ia a word,
it forosbudows a division of tho party by
one portion going with Grant and the
Southern curpoubaggers and seallawags,
and tho other portion going with Wilson,
Blaine, Foster of Ohio, Phelps of New
Jersey, Halo of Maine, and such Liberal
Republicans as this change of policy will
induce to come back to them.
A vote iu the House of Representatives
on Saturday signifies that at least fifteen
of the more moderate end respectable
Republicans of that body are already
willing to take tkeir stand upon tbis line
designated by Mr. Wilson. The vote was
upon the adoption l>y tbo House of the
Radical caucus proposition to permit a
majority vote to dictate the order of busi
ness, so os at any time to reach and pass
snch measures for the government of
the Sonth as the Radical majority
may desire. It required a two-
thirds vote to alter the rules in
this respect, and the proposition failed by
a vote of 150 to 98. Among the Repub ■
licans voting no were Measrs. Butfiingtou
of Mass., Burchardof III., Burleigh and
Hale of Maine, Foster of Ohio, Hale of
New York, Merriam of New York, Smith
of Ohio, Roberts of New York, Willard
of Vermout, and Willard of Michigan.
the party lash, may not be long enough
to defeat any extrema Radical meesarea
at this session; bnt it is certainly repre
sentative of a very considerable popular
opposition to snch schemes, and will
mike itself felt in fntnre party contests
if the Grant Radicals persist in their high
handed policy.
We refer to this vo'e, in connection
with the Viee President’e letter, as the
first distinct show of opposition in Con
gress to President Grant’s designs. What
it may bo able to accomplish, we have yet
to see. But it it enconrgeging to tis of
the Sonth, and on this account wa notice
it.
Thi Two Fsiends.—In tbs depths of
a forest there lived two foxes who bad
never hsd a crons word with eaeh other.
One of them said one day, in tho politest
fox language, “Let's qnarrel." “Very
well," ssid the other; “as yon please, dear
friend. Bnt how shsll we set about it ?”
“Oh! it cannot be difficult,” said fox
number one, “two-legged people fall out,
why should not we ?'“ 8o they tried all
sorts of ways, but it could not be done,
because each one would give way. At last
number one fetched two stones. “There,”
ssid he, “you say they're yonrs, and I'll
asy they're mine, and then we will quar
rel,and fight, andsoratoh. Now, I'll begin.
These atones are mine. “Very well,” an
swered the other gently, “yon are wel
come to them.” “But we shall never
qnarrel at this rate,” cried the other,
jumping up and licking his faoe. “Yon
old Bimpleton, don't yon know that it
takes two to make a qnarrel any day ?"
So they gave it up aa a bad job, and never
tried to play at tbis silly gsme again. I
often think of this fable when I feel more
inclined to be snlky than sweet.
