A Wisconsin paper has e->ine in possession .of the following particulars of a little Kit Iv'ux outrage which was recently perpetrated in Al abama. Tint boys wore rather severe in their treatment of Mrs. Bagger, hut ,she prolmbly deserve 1 it. and ought to thank her stars ti.at she was not seriously hurt: H A horrible outrage was committed in the State, of Alabama a few days ago. Our infor mant is ft reliable negro,, who hoard the pars tieuiars from a member of the Loyal League who got his information from a fellow who lost a cousin in the late war. It seems that a- !r. Carpet Bagger was attacked in his own house bv 1,(712 Ku Kluxes, -armed with double bar relled howic knives. They slaughtered and ate nineteen of Mr. Bugger's children before his eyes, and compelled Mrs. Bagger to cut her own head off and hang it on a hook it) the collar. She was then ordered ti keen still upon pain of instant death. She happened to sneeze,'and the leader of the dastardly crew immediately had it thrashing machine sot up, and run Airs. Bagger through. It is very doubtful if she recovers. Mr. Bagger was then forced to swallow four tons of gunpowder and a handful of n'fro-glycerine. lie was next dieted on live coals until an explosion took place, which subjected Mr. Bagger to such in tense pain as almost to deprive him of reason. They next shot him full of holes, and made him hurrah for Jefferson Davis and Horace Greeley, and finally inoculated him with the small pox. and soaked him in strong lye. lie was threatened with instant death if he reveal ed the names of any of the perpetrators of this outrage, all of whom arc neighbors of Mr. Bag <rci-i and who hate him because he was a loyal sutler and cotton speculator during the war, and now lives on a confiscated plantation, wiih enough negroes to elect him to the Legislature. It is feared that Mr. Bagger has sustained such internal injuries that ho is not able to appear as a witness at the military commission ap pointed to try some ex-robels for reading Dem ocratic newspapers."* Worried to Death.— This is a very com mon expression with a metaphorical meaning; but many a time, alas! it is really true, especially so with the over-sensitive—the too high-strung. But it in rrften an unnecessary re suit, arising from idleness, giving time to brood over trifles, or from the, wicked and weak-mind ed habit of getting into a worry about trifling things. I once knew a lady to cry because it rained before she eoulti have some work finished around her splendid city mansion.— All of us should accustom onrselves to take things by their smooth handle, remembering i that it has been wisely said : The secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to Tex one, and|in prudently cultivating an overgrowth of small pleasures, since very great ones are let on long leases.” — Hall’s Journal o f Health. In North Carolina they are raising anew kind of cotton called “wool cotton,” nearly the I color of wool. It is said to be a superior article. Let Its Have a Change. Lei us have a change! says an exchange. A change cau do no harm, hut u world of good. The taxed farmers cull for a change. The taxed mechanics, cal! for a change.

The men who do not want a change are— rite-bondholders, who receive a g id interest and pay no taxes. The National bankers who are every year filching from The people twenty millions in gold. The public thieves and plunderers who arc robbing tbe nation's -treasury. "»je rsM-per-lwggets those lull siw-aks who go Si’tuli to be elected to office by negro votes. The military satraps, who rule tho South by the bayonet, in order tq established negro sir prertraey. The negro bureau agents who are cultivating cotton plantations for their own benefit at the expense vs thft government. Near England manufacturers and monopolists who are fleecing the laboring people out of tht'ir hard earnings. These men do not want a Change, and who keep up'the old cry of “copperhead” and •''traitor, to divert the attention of the people from the true issues. Secret Trusts. The United States Supreme Court has re cently made an important decision on the sub ject of the transfers of land, professing to he an absolute conveyance, but accompanied with a concealed verbal agreement between the par ties, securing a benefit to the grantor at the expense of his creditors. Tho court says that the law will not permit a debtor in failing circumstances to. convey his lands l»y deed without reservations, and yet occupy it for a limited time for his own benefit. Hence, when a debtor, in pursuance of a private understand ing, retains possession, rent free, for one year, of land old by him, such conduct creates a secret trust for his benefit, and he micro the conveyance fraudulent a* to the creditors, and ■ void. And it made no differ onee in the legal asjn-et of the case before the court, that the interest reserved was not of a great value and that the debtor did not intend t-e defraud his orcilitors. —Rich rnffnd I Vhitj> -.- K3- *- • ■ ■-**- 1 Record Good to Look Upon.

The Union was pre served by forbearance, kindness, and compro mise. The general government was felt only in the blessings it conferred upon the people. And yet we are told that the Democratic party is the enemy of the country, and should not be trusted with the administration.” Pei.mar Firing Up Again. —Deßnar, of the Bureau of Statistics, is n"t to Be put down By the Radical organs and speakers. Ills damag ing ard in the main correct statement of the financial condition of the Government, ns brought about By the extravagance and mis. management of Congress and the departments which was lately published, and which created a terrible howl in the Radical camp, is now to he followed up by another official exhibit on the rate of taxation at present as compared with that before the war. lie will show, we under stand, that, whereas the rate in 1860, including Federal, State, county and town taxes, was only four dollars and thirty-two cents a head for man, woman and chill, tho rate in ISG9 is twenty-three dollars a head—that is, the bur den of taxation is over five times heavier now than eight years ago.

The Baltimore Commercial i epresent's tin feeling of the men of Hie South (not of couitie, tho low grades of negroes and attendant »plil bii'Ouit carpet baggers), in relation to Mr. Adams' condescending visit, as follows : Mr. John Quincy Adams lias traveled till the way from Masaehtisotts to South t'arolina to tell the people, of tiiut State that they are a conquered people, destitute of rights, save those which the htws of war secure to a equ quered people. lie tells Chain that they have nothing to do with the Uoiistitutipn of the ; United States, and have no business troubling themselves about whether it is violati-u by others or not. lie tells them that they have been made citizens, since the whites forfeited all rights, and tho North had both thu power and the right not only to take, away from the whites hut to give to the blacks. He tells that people that they busied..the nisei yes too liiujph with politics, that they have made the North angry with them for essaying to have opinions about the country from which they so recently sought to separate themselves. Ha tells them that,they have erred in being so intensely Democratic, so violently anti-Kudical, and ho tells them that Grant will do them justice, and be merciful unto them. It is a fact that the ' Southern States are conquered territories. Their |u'ople did till in their [lower to sever their connection with the North; they renounced all allegiance to the Government of the United States, and took up arms to make good their nets. In the appeal to battle they were over thrown and their people 'conquered. * They made war as ("hates in their corporate Capacity, and as States they wero conquered. The Southern States are to he judged hv their own tliepry, and according to their own theory, by their acts of secession and confederation they became to the United States, as to all other nations, a separate and distinct nationality. Wliethei the war waged against them bv the United States was a “just war” Mr. Adams does not stop to inquire—they failed in that war and wore defeated in every pretension they set up; and such was the theory of the Southern States. But such was not the theory of the North. By their theory the actions of the States of the South, as States, was a mere nullity, and the people who were in arms wore simply re bels who, when overthrown, might be punish ed or not. as to their conqueror might seem right and proper, and by the victory of tho North, the victory of arms merely re-establish ed the Union. Neither the theory of the North nor that of the South was carried out after the war ended. The Congress submitted the fourteenth amend ment to the .States in tho South, as States of sion, and did not then attempt to enforce any rights acquired by conquest. The Gougress treated the State of Virginia as in the Union when the ra.pe.of West Virginia was consumma ted, and yet placed a military government over a State. Such an act might have beeu legiti mate toward a conquered people, but eouid not have Been constitutional toward one of the United States. The Government of thi United States abolished slavery within States of the Union By virtue of the right of conquest, and against every principle of the Constitution. And so every act of reconstruction might have Been right if the Southern States wore tilieu enemies and conquered States, hut were eleai* ly illegal, unconstitutional and void, if the Southern States were never da hors the Union. Thus the Radical party has played false to the theory of the North; they abandoned that theory, and late in the Jay, and long after*peace, wont over to the theory of the South, acknowledged the viridity of secession, and sought to find in those ordinances justifi cation for their reconstruction acts. This was a mere subterfuge to cover up a scheme of party advantage and to build up a radical [tarty at the’South. They conferred, Regally and unconstitutionally, the right of suffrage upon the negroes of the South, that they might reap a party advantage in the Electoral Col lege. The evils that parties do live after them, and when the history of the causes of the late war, comes to he traced By future historians, the people of the Southern States will ho jus tified By the action of the Radical party. The State Rights theory of the South as hel l be fore the war. will find a justification in the reconstruction laws of Congress, Mr. Adams docs not approve of the aban donment of the theory of the North by the Radicals, and their surrender to the Southern theory after peace has been won hv the North. Tie fears that “it is impossible for any tolera ble government to continue long, for it will de generate into the mere squabble of contending factions for a chance to oppress for a time their less active or lets numerous opponents.” Mr. Adams evidently fears that the despotism that is now ruling and ruining tho South, may some da' turn its force upon Massachusetts and the North. What Mr. Adams may think wrong in the action of the Southern States toward the negroes, is of no great importance now. It is true that the Radicals made the legislation of certain of the Southern States the excuse for their reconstruction laws—but that legislation toward the negroes was the mere occasion, not the cause, nor yet the reason for these acts.— Their continued rule, the safety of their party, the spoils of office, the promptings of despo tism, rendered their legislation necessary. They have trampled upon the Constitution in order to continue their power ; the South feels j the iron now, but if it should become neecssa ! ry to turn their legislation against the North, j the same reckless disregard for constitutional I obligations will stand them in hand to oppress YOU* 8.

Evon the Jacobin press does not crow, But is Badly down in the mouth. Tho etiief 'organ which is al ways ready to swear to anything to win, says "the ieturns from West Virginia are very meager. Enough has been received, however, to indicate that the Republicans have carried the .State by a reduced majority.” On the j other hand, tho Democrats at YYheeling claim it By tvv o thousand majority..

Memphis Avalanche, of the 17th inst., says': . “We have good news for tire friends of peace, tranquillity and order. The guns to be placed in the.hands of the negroes to murder the in nocent, unarmed and defenseless people of Arkansas have found a watery grave. Instead of being used for the Brutal purposes for which they wero imported ill our midst, they are quietly reposing Beneath the turbid waves of the Mississippi river, whose muddy waters will, we trust, hide them forever. Comer and Richardson used every effort iu theirpporerw r er .to expedite these weapons. They placed them upon tho steamer llesper. Xb.ey were aided in thiqir dirty wqrk by several carpet-baggers from Arkansas, who lurked about with smil ing faces, while they were stealthily laboring to inaugurate a war of races. But these schemes. steamed out as bright as the beautiful star whose flame she bears, hut errands of wickedntrss fire sdihetimes over taken with disaster. Before the ITosper had iidcSt twelve miles down the river, a platoon of armed creatures suddenly sprang on board, and the firms cante to grief. They were un 'coreinonimi'-ly pitched into tho river. No one knows who these- mysterious being* are that have exhibited so much antipathy to guni and blunderbusses. Ferae are of the opinion that they are mermaids, riding'ti[son the backs of dolphins ; others believe that they are angels of mercy, who believe in Grant’s motto, “Let us have peace and that they have destroyed them in order to prevent murder, and to give peace to the people df Arkansas. Still a lar ger portion of our people helieved that these Vims wero sent to Memphis by Radicals, to be destroyed by Radicals in order to frighten the Northern people into the Belief that an other rebellion had burst out in the Foath.'— But such a hold and paltry subterfugo will fail in its object, for if the “rcbel-s” wero not for peace, they would have preserved and se creted these weapons, imported in our midst by Radicals for hellish purposes. We know not, and care not, who it was that destroyed these weapons, Hut we do know that the party deserve the everlasting thanks of the people that they were intended to shoot and murder.” Slight Mistake. — llenvy Ward Beecher has a son an officer in the regular army a bravo dashing fellow, a terror to the Indians on the plains.”— EgeuingHail.
