fan" The force Bill, or Enforcement
>fUv ns it is called, together with the
I' U-Klux Bill, signalize the action of
tlie present Congress in the way of leg
islating for the interest of a great
country like this, and exhibits its ani
mus. The whole object of these bills
is to perpetuate the party in power,
not through the affections of the peo
ple, or by addressing the common
sense and reason of mankind, but by
a direct appeal to brute force, and the
terror of the prison and the bayonet
to enforce acquiescence to their author
ity. By one, it is sought so to over
awe the voters as to exclude them
from the polls; by the other, to inter
fere directly with the elector should
he have the temerity to approach the
ballot-box. Moreover, the old, but
now wom-ont game of excitmg the
country over pretended rebellion and
armed opposition to its authority, and
the pence of its citizens, is herein
sought to be played over again, and |
so these bills disgrace the statute book
under the expectation of like favora
ble political results as have been fyith
erto reaped by' the Radical party.—
But we very much mistake the public
mind if the very measures which the
administration has adopted as a means
cf success, will not prove the most
fearful and fatal weapons in the hands
of the Democracy.
Such measures are so directly at
war with all American ideas of Con
stitutional freedom, and one-man-pow
er, so in the face of all the teachings
of the past, and the declarations of
{State Constitutions, and every idea of
right, that the very effort to crush out
a spirit of resistance to their authority,
and in this way to perpetuate their po
litical rule, will detach more adherents
from Radicalism than it can drive from
the Democracy, and will cause such a
thinning out of their political ranks as
will make their defeat in 1872, only
the more certain. The same spirit
which animated the fathers of the Re
public in the days of John Adams, will
animate the great body of the people,
and Enforcement laws, and Ku-Klux
bills, and all other measures of a kin
dled character, will become as odious
ns were tbe Alien and Sedition laws.—
Those bills will be made the test ques
tion.; in the political campaign which
is to come, and we are loth to think
for a moment, that a large majority of
the American people will not condemn
at the polls, not only the bills them
selves, but the party who enacted
them. The administration, in its
greed for the retention of office, is
making “live issues” enough to keep
the whole country wide-a-wake, and
we have only to go before the whole
people upon the record which they
Lave made, and are making, to ensure
the successful overthrow of the party
in power. As we have said once be
fore, we do not regret the passage of
these bills, as they but the more
plainly show the country its danger,
and the necessity which presses upon
it for a change of rulers if its liberties
are to be preserved.
That our readers may see the real
object of the Ku-Klux bills, we refer
them to its 3d and 4th sections ap
pended below', embracing fully, the de
sign which its authors had in its pas
sage :
Bec. 3. That in all cases where in
surrection, domestic violence, unlaw
ful combinations, or conspiracies in
any State, shall so obstruct or hinder
the execution of the laws thereof and
the United States so as to deprive any
portion or class of the people in such
State, of any rights, privileges, or im
munities, or protection named in the
Constitution and secured by this act,
and the constituted authorities of such
State shall either be unable to protect,
or shall from any cause fail in or re
fuse protection to the people in such
rights, such facts shall be deemed a
denial by such State of the equal pro
tection of the laws to which they are
entitled under the Constitution of the !
United States; and in all such cases,
or whenever any such insurrection,
violence, unlawful combination, or con
spiracy shall oppose or obstruct the
laws of the United States or the due
<ib cution thereof, or impede or ob
struct the due course of justice under
the same, it shall be lawful for the
President, and it shall be his duty, to
take such measures, by the employ
ment of the military and naval forces
of the United States, or of either, or j
by other means, as he may deem nec
essary for the suppression of such in
surrection, domestic violence, or com
binations; and any person who shall
be arrested under the provisions of
this and preceding sections, shall be
delivered to the Marshal of the prop
er district, to be dealt with according
to law.
Sec. 4. That wherever, in any State
or part of a State, the unlawful com
binations named in the preceding sec
tions of this act shall be organized
and armed, and so numerous and pow
erful as to be able by violence to ei
ther overthrow or set at defiance the
constituted authorities of such State
nud the United States within such
State, or where the constituted au
thorities are in complicity with, or
shall connive at the unlawful purposes
| of B«<h powerful and armed corn bin a
i tions; and whenever, by reason of ei
j ther or all the causes aforesaid, the
conviction of such offenders and the
preservation of the public safety shall
become in such districts impracticable,
j in every such case such combination
; shall be deemed rebellion against tbe
Government of the United States, and
during the continuance of such rebel

entitled “an act relating to habeas
corpus and regulating judicial proceed
ings in certain cases,” approved March
3, 1803, which relate to the discharge
,of prisoners other than prisoners of
war, and the penalties for refusing to
obey tuts order of the Court, shall be
in force so far as the same are appli

ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
PH ITE I> STATES
BY THE
DEMOCRATS OF CONGRESS.
To the People of the United States :
Our presence and official duties at
Washington have enabled us to be
come fully acquainted with the actions
and designs of those who control the
Radical party, and we feel called upon
to utter a few words of warning against
the alarming strides they have mi de
toward centralization of power in the
hands of Congress and the Executive.
The time and attention of the Radical
leaders have been almost wholly direc
ted to devising such h gislatiou as will,
in their view, but preserve their ascen
dancy, and no regard for the wise re
straints imposed by the constitution
has checked their reckless and despa
i ate career. The President of the Uni
el States has been formally announc
ed ns a candidate for re-election. The
declarations of his selfish supporters
have been re-echoed by a subsidized
press, and the discipline of party has
already made adhesion to his personal
fortunes the supreme test of political
fealty. Tbe partisan legislation to
which we refer was decreed and shap
ed in secret caucus, where the extrem
est counsels always dominated, and
was adopted by a subservient majority,
if not with the intent, certainly with
the effect to place in the hands of the
President puv>eu t<-» uummaua lu» own
renomination, and to employ the army,
navy and militia, at his sole direction,
as a means of subserving his personal
ambition. When the sad experience
of the last two years, so disappointing
to the hopes and generous confidence
of the country, is considered, in con
nection with the violent utterances and
rash purposes of those who coutrol the
President’s policy, it is not supprisiug
that the gravest apprehension for the
future peace of the nation should be
entertained. At & time when labor is
depressed, and every material interest
is palsied by oppressive taxation, the
public offices have been multiplied be
yond all precedent to serve as instru
ments in the perpetuation of power.
Partizanship is the only test applied
to the distribution of this vast patron
age. Honesty, fitness and moral worth,
are openly discarded, in favor of truck
ling submission and dishonorable com
pliance. Hence enormous defalcations
and wide-spread corruption have fol
lowed as the natural coucequences of
this pernicious sy stem.
By the official report of the Secreta
ry of ihe Treasury it appears that, af
ter the deduction of proper credits,
many millions of dollars remaiu due
from ex collectors of the internal reve
nue, and that no proper diligence has
ever been used to collect them. Re
forms in the revenue and fiscal sys
tems, which all experience demon
strates to be necessary to a frugal ad
ministration of the government, as well
ns a measure of relief to an overbur
dened people, have been peri si cully
postponed or wilfully neglected.
Congress now adjourns without hav
ing'even attempted to reduce taxation
or to repeal the glaring impositions by
which industry is crushed and impov
erished. The Treasury is overflowing,
and an excess oi eighty millions of
reveuue is admitted, and yet, iustead
of a measure to present relief, a barreu
and delusive resolution is passed by
the {Senate to consider the tariff and
excise systems hereafter, as if the his
tory of broken pledges and pretended
remedies furnished any better assur
ance to r future legislation than experi
ence has done iu the past. Shipbuid
ing a nd the carrying trade,once sources
of national pride and prosperity, now
languish under a crushing load of tax
ation, and nearly every other business
ititerfcsfc is struggling, without profit,
to maintain itself. Our agriculturists,
while paying heavy taxes on all they
consume, either to the government or
to monopolists, find the prices for
their own products so reduced that
honest labor is denied its just reward,
and industry is prostrated by invidious
discrimination. Nearly 200,000,000
acres of public lands, which should
have been reserved for the beuefit of
the people, have been voted away to
giiiui corporations, neglecting our sol
diers, enriching a handful of greedy
speculators and lobbyists, wlio ale
thereby enabled to exercise a most
dangerous and corrupting influence
over State and Federal legislation. If
the career of these couspirators be not
ch‘ eked, the downfall of free govern
inent is inevitable, and with it tlie ele
vation of a military dictator on the
ruins of the Republic.
Uuder the pretence of passing laws
to enf.rce the fourteenth amendment,
and for other purposes, Congress bus
conferred the most despotic power up
on the Executive, and provided an of
ficial machinery by which the liberties
yf the people are menaced, and the sa
cred right of lo&il self government in
the States is ignored, if not totally
overthrown. Moddelled up to the se
dition laws, so odious in history, they
are at variance with nil the sanctified
theories of our institutions, and the
construction given by these Radical
interpreters to the fourteenth amend
ment is, to use the language of an em
inent Senator—Mr. Trumbull, of Illi
nois—an “annihilation of the States.”
Under the last Enforcement bill, “the
Executive may, in his discretion, thrust
aside the government of any State,
suspend the writ of habeas coipus,” ar
rest its Governor, imprison or disperse
the Legislature, silence its judges, aDd
trample down its people uuder the
armed heel of his troops. Nothing is
left to the citizen or the State which
can any longer be called a right—all
is changed into mere sufferance.
Our hopes for redress are in the
calm good seflse, the “sober second
thought” of the American people. We
call upon them to be true to themselves
and their posterity,* and disregarding
party names and minor differences, to
insist upon a decentralization of pow
er, and the restriction of Federal au
thority within its just and proper lim
its, leaving to the States that coutrol
over domestic affairs which is essential
to their liappiuess and tranquility, and
good government.
Everything that malicious ingenuity
could suggest has been doiie to irritate
the people of the Middle and Southern
States. Gross and exaggerated char
ges of disorder and violence owe their
origin to the mischievous minds of po
tential managers in the Senate and
House of Representatives, to which the
Executive has, we regret to say, lent
his aid, and thus be’ped to inflame the
popular feeling. Iu all this course of
hostile legislation and harsh resent
ment, no word of conciliation, of kind
encouragement, or fraternal friendship
has ever been spoken by the President
or by Oougre.-s, to the people of the
Southern States. They have been ad
dressed only in the language o: pro
scription.
We earnestly entreat our fellow citi
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to maintain peace and order,
to carefully protect the rights of every
citizen, to preserve kindly relations
among all men, and to discountenance
and discourage any violation of the
rights of any portion of the people se
cured under the constitution, or any of
its amendments. Let us, in conclu
sion, earnestly beg of you not to aid
the present attempts of Radical parti
sans to stir up strife in the land; to re
new the issues of tlie war, or to ob
struct the return of peace and prosper
ity- to too llt
is thus that they s.ek to divide the at
tention of the country from the cor
ruption and extravagance in their ad
ministration of public affairs, and the
dangerous and profligate attempts they
are making towards the creation of a
centralized military government.
In the five years of peace following
the war the Radical administrations
have expended $1,200,000,000 for or
dinary purposes alone, being within
$200,000,000 of the aggregate amount
spent for the same purpose's, in war
and in peace, during the seventy-one
years preceeding June 30, 1871, not
including, in either case, the sum paid
upon principal or interest of the pub
lic debt.
It is trifling with the intelligence of
the people for the * Radical leaders to
pretend that this vast sum has been
honestly expended. Hundreds of mil
lions of it has been wantonly squan
dered. The expenditures of the gov
ernment for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1801, were only $02,000,000, while,
for precisely the same purposes—civil
list, army, navy, pensions and Indians
—5164,000,000 were expended during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870.
No indignation could be too stern,
and no scorn too severe for the asser
tions by unscrupulous Radical leaders,
that the great Democratic party of the
Union has or can have any sympathy
with disorders or violence in any part
of the country, or in the deprivation of
any man of his rights under the con
stitution. It is to protect and perpet
uate the rights which every freeman
cherishes, to revive in all hearts the
feelings of friendship, affection and
harmony, which are the best guaran
tees of law and order, and to throw
around the humblest citizen, wherever
be may be, the protecting aegis of those
safeguards of personal liberty which
the fundamental laws of the land as
sure, that we invoke the aid of all good
men in the work of peace and recon
struction.
We invite their generous co-opera
tion, irrespective of all former differen
ces pf opinion, so that the harsh voice
oi discord ruay be silenced; that anew
and dangerous sectional agitation may
be checked; that the burdens of taxa
tion, direct and indirect, may be reduc
ed to the lowest point consistent with
good faith to every just national obli
gation, and with a strictly economical
administration of the government, and
that the States may be restored, in
their integrity and true relation to our
Federal union.

tors and Representatives who were in
Washington at the close of the session
of Congress.)

ded to the terrible tornado which pass
ed over Southern Georgia on Thurs
day.
During the storm, a house at Stone’s
old mill, four miles from Blackshear,
was blown down and carried sixty feet.
It was occupied at the time by a negro
named Harmon Newton and his wife,
both of whom were crushed and killed
by the falling timbers. A little dar
key who was alsq in tlie house man
aged to escape from the ruins, and in
formed tlie neighbors of the accident
An ox and a dog were also killed at
the same time. It is estimated that
between Station No. 7£ and Station
No. 8, at lea.‘ t five thousand trees were
blown down within sight of the road.
Every fence aid brush is prostrate.—
Tlie bodies of the unfortunate colored
man mid woman were carried to B ack
she u- on Saturday for interment The
man was employed at Stone's Mill.—
A small house at No 7£ was blown
across the track, but was removed bv
Mr. Wylly before the down train ar
rived. The tornado was accompanied
by very heavy thunder and rain, and
that with the noise of the wind,
is said to have been truly terrific.—
Two negro men who were iu the
woods, away from any shelter, heard
the storm coming, and, anticipating its
character, endeavored to make some
very hasty aud impromptu arrange
ments for their personal safety. One
of them wisely took shtlter in a ditch or
drain, while the othei embraced the
trunk of an adjacent tree iu order to
preserve his equilibrium. The tree to
which he had anchored, however, was
not strong enough to withstand the
fury of the storm. It was twisted
from the ground ant] carried against
another tree, which also gave way, and
both were hurled to the earth, togeth
er with the negro who had not loosen
ed his first hold. His hands were some
what torn, but otherwise, strange to
say, he was unharmed.

How to Win in Is7*l.
The Philadelphia Evening Herald
devotes an article to the Presidential
campaign of 1871, from which we ex
tract the following pertinent para
i/ranh:
It is customary, we are aware, for
politicians to declare during every
campaign that it is more momentous
than any that proceeded it. The peo
ple understand this. T hey are not to
be deceived by it any longer. We do
not, however, hesitate to say that the
comfng State campaign, so far at least
as the welfare of the Democratic party
and of the country' is concerned, is
perhaps one of the most important in
our political history. Success at the
fall elections guarantee success in the
Presidential contest in 1872. This is
as clearly established to day as though
the election of a Democratic President
were an accomplished fact.
Now, what are the contingencies up
on which this success depends ? They
are two-fold: First—The unbroken
niaintainance of Democratic principles.
Adherence to the cardinal doctrines of
the party is absolutely imperative.—
Second- Good men* and good men on
ly must be presented as candidates.—
Let no others be thought of. To nom
inate even for minor officers any of the
old spavined hacks of the party—the,
bummers and camp-followers who have
been its shame and disgrace—is to
hopelessly fritter away the golden op
portunity that now offers—to dash the
cup of success from the lips, and de
stroy all tlie bright anticipations of to
day. We repeat, let us have the best
men as candidates. If there is a choice
between a good man and a better, let
the choice fall upon the better. Per
sonal preferences, prejudices and am
bitions, must all ba swallowed up in
one unselfish, disinterested effort to
wrest the government from unworthy
hands and give power to men who
will wield it for the geuernl good only.

Health Hints for the Spring.
The present is a season always pro
lific of colds, more dangerous general
ly than those taken during the Winter,
because caused not so much by chan
ges of temperature as by imprudence
in regard to changes of clothiug. It
is a safe rule to make no change from
heavy to light clothing until the weath
er is sufficiently settled to guarantee a
continuance of mild temperature. It is
much easier to bear with thick flanuel
uudercloths during the dashes of warm
weather we are having at present,
than to suffer a spell of pneumonia,
with a medical and druggist’s bill at
the end of it, with the chance of an
undertaker’s service also. A large
number of the most serious colds with
which most people suffer iu the Spring
are taken as above mentioned, by
injudicious change of clothing. Anoth
er fruitful source of sickness is the
hasty removal of facilities for fire in
the early Spring. It would be much
better if tbe stoves and graces were
kept up until the first, of May at least,
aud a day like tbe preseut kindle a little
tire moruing aud night Invalids and
children suffer often with cold from
a want of a fiie at this season. The
air is often damp, and a cool, damp
room is worse to sit in than a walk in
the lain. An esteemed friend of the
writor, a few years ago, by sitting half
an hour iu a parlor in mid-Summer
that had been c'osely shut up, took
cold that, killed him in less than a
year.— Alexandria (Va.) Gazette .

Death in the Pulpit—An Af
fecting Scene.
The Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first and
only rector of Trinity Church, Gal
veston, was stricken with death while
standing in his pulpit last Sunday.
! The Galveston News thus describes
I the affecting scene :
, He ascended the pulpit. Announcing
[ his text, “ There is yet room,” all
trembling beneath the weight of his
last message, he referred to one after
another of the friends of his youth and
the communicants of bis church that
had gone before. He painted death
entering tne ciiuicL paooiu^
the bioad aisle, Laying his Dony hand
to the right and to the left; breathing
his cold, clammy breath on the cheek
of beauty, and w.ifting the silver hairs
of age. Now touching the father,then
the son; here the mother, there the
daughter, as the spectre so plain to
his entranced vision advanced to the
chancel-rail, aud as he saw that his
time had come, his words struggled
for utterance. He faltered. His
weakening limbs staggered. A gen
tleman who advanced to his assistance
was waved back. For ten minutes or
more he spoke, his words only audible
to those near him. The excitement of
the audience was fearful. Three times
he struggled to continue saying: “ I
am very sick, but I must say.” Agaiu
he staggered. He fell into the arras
of Mr. C. R. Hughes, as he raised his
hands to pronounce the benediction.
Like Moses, that other servant of God,
he was too weak to hold up his hands,
which was done by Mr. Hughes, as he
said h.s last pulpit words, “To God
the Father.” His toDgue refused to
speak further; his hands dropped. He
was carried to his rectory where he
died.
The Ijawycr and the Irishman.
While a number of lawyers and gen
tlemen were dining at Wiscassett, a
few days since, a jolly soul from the
Emerald Isle appeared and called for
dinner.
Ilia landlord told him he should
dine when the gentlemen were done.
“Let him crowd among us,” whis
pered a limb of the law, “and we will
have some fun out of him.”
The Irishman took his seat at the
table.
“You were born in this country,
were you, my friend ?”
“No, sir; I was born in Ireland.”
“Is your father living?”
“No, sir, he is dead.”
“What is your occupation?”
“A horse jockey, sir.”
