No satis factory execution of the late acts of Congress is practicable unless this freedom is secured ami its exercise protected by the usual legal means. 111.

Pope’s Order, June 3d. “ Freedom of speech and of the press, educa tion, equality before the law, and in political rights and privileges, are the essentials of any satisfactory reconstruction in the South. [Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant. A TERRIBLE BEAST. The Rev. Mr. Hunnicutt, an old time secessionist turned Radical, deals in no half-way measures. He candidly admits that the object of the Republican party— the alpha and omega of its organization— is to continue the present domination, at all hazards and at every sacrifice. He grows bilious and turns green when diplo matic rats like Raymond, Greeley & Cos. soothe the South with calculations of the ultimate extinction of the negro race, and its feebleness as a political element in the future. He calls such trimmers “dough faces,” and sends them howling back with copious discharges of black vomit. This Rev. Mr. Hunnicutt, of Virginia, edits a paper styled the New Nation, and guides the negroes of the Old Dominion as dextrou s ly as a drum-major directs the brass band. He completely routed the Richmond Whig and the pig and puppy party of co-opera tion. He drove them into an ambush oS cranberries and made the Whig an agricul tural and pomological journal. He told the negroes that men who acknowledged that they worked with the Radical party only to betray it, and with the negroes only to catch their votes, were treacherous coun sellors and dangerous allies. He made a clear issue between Conservatism and its opposite; between the white party and the black party. It is true that the Rev. Hunnicutt was a raging war man in 1860-1, and submitted a plan for the cap ture of Fortress Monroe; but the upshot oft the war converted him to the extreme views of Thaddeus Stevens, and, like his illustrious coadjutors Longstreet, Brown, Orr, Magrath, Thompson, Pryor and the smaller fry swimming around them, he is one of many proofs of the conjunction of extremes. But, Hunnicutt resembles the parties above mentioned only up to a cer tain point; he differs from them in audacity and wisdom. Their faint and apologetic sips of the poisoned bowl of Radicalism have brought upon them the bad blood -of their own people and the derision of the North. Hunnicutt swallowed the decoc tion with a great gulp and, like Oliver Twist, la piteously wailing for more of the same sort. He knew that if a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing thorough ly, and so, he made high wassail in the camp of Puritania and caused Thad Btevens to hide his diminished head in the scrawny bosom of his sable housekeeper and pretend to succumb to dropsy of the chest. We contend that Hunnicutt and his clan are men of sagacity. They prefer rather to organize hell with a monopoly of brimstone than peep into heaven through a chink of the jasper door, which might close with a thunderous bang at any moment, to the in finite detriment of inquisitive noses. Thus preferring, they go to work with a ven geance—grasp the reins of authority— scoff at the co-operationists, and eventually leave them, like Ledger heroes, dangling by the seat of their breeches from a third story window, to the uncontrollable merri ment of everybody inside or outside the house. The astute Hunnicutt having gone clean daft with progressiveness, proposes to thwart the designs of Greeley & Cos. just as effectually as he balked the manoeuvr ing of Botts and Pierpoint. Greeley says to the South: “ Accept this little bill, my dear Caucasian friends, and in one, two, three or more years, the confounded nigger shall decrease in popu lation to such an extent that his vote must cease to be formidable. Nay more, breth ren, we will pour a stream of white Yan kees and Europeans upon Sambo and Di nah, and the aforesaid S. and D. will be obliged to ‘ get up and git.’ Thus will you have procured the respectable African, O, sons of chivalry ! You can be constant ly recruited from the white stocks of the world; but the flat has gone forth that no more negroes shall ever come from Africa — or any other place. Accept this bill, my Mends; let the Radicals possess the glory of reconstructing you, and then do with your 1 nigger ’ as you please.” "We frankly acknowledge that the vener able Horace did not use precisely the lan guage attributed to him above; but his “everlasting ding-dong,” as they say in Massachusetts, amounts to the same thing. Hunnicutt sniffs the danger of this pro scription; ventilates it in his paper, and snorts, like a war-horse, at the prophetic signs of combat. He puts the “dough feces ”to the blush; he swears that this European and Yankee immigration shall be counteracted ; that he will preserve his party, in spite of God or Devil. In order that our readars may understand exactly what he proposes to do, we quote from his journal of September 21st as follows: “And if necessary, the fugitives in Canada ■who escaped irom slavery, and the suffering emigrants now in Hayti and Liberia, will help to make this domination of Republican princi ples. Yea, we would overturn Africa right into America if necessary, and these thick-lipped, flat-nosed, wolly-haired people that now 6warfn those sunny shores be brought here as Irish men from Ireland, and in the same time be fit ted just as well for the responsibilities of citi zenship. There are to be established emigration societies, to indues foreign emigration here; and for political purposes we must concede these societies to be established. Therefore, claiming ‘what is sauce for the goose should be for the gander,’ we shall have the same in strumentalities at work, importing Africans at Bavannah while Irishmen at New York.” A great number of people will dismiss this extract, with a contemptuous sneer, as the raving of a madman. But such a per son must remember that madness rules the hour, and who so fit to rule madness as a first-class lunatic like Hunnicutt. Luna tic or not, he wields an immense power In Virginia; his cohorts are vaster thafr those of Lee ; hie capacities for mischief as po tent as the late embattled hosts of North or South. In his utterances the foreigner can catch glimpses of thq intense hatred borne him by every form of Radicalism and the shame he borrows when upholding its detestable assumptions. Let no one belittle the power of this creature, when memory can travel back to the days of Johanna Southcote, or farther still, when Cai.i ouLA’siiorse was proclaimed first Consul. There are but few touches wanting to com plete the picture. If Roger A. Pryor has really joined the rule or ruin faction, we beseech Hunnicutt to appoint him agent of the Quashee-Gumbo Emigration Society at New York, and .Joseph E. Brown its special dry-nurse at Savannah. THE SITUATION. Between Aaron Bradley’s conspiracies and Gen. Grant’s Nashville orders the country is coming to a pretty pass. Ihe negroes imagine themselves lords para mount and the military nabobs contend with the negroes for supremacy. Poor Mr. Johnson stands idly by, sucks his fingers, and implores the people to “ stick to the Constitution.” The Herald is right. If the country can be saved at all, it will be saved in spite of negroes, in spite of satraps and in spite of Johnson. Massachusetts Again. —On yesterday we had something to note concerning the progress of reaction in Massachusetts. Ihe following from the Worcester Gazette, an extreme Radical sheet, is a significant ad dendum : “When,” say* that paper, “we ask for cheaper bread our leaders strive to amuse us with glowinsr pictures of negro equality ', when we ask for a moral, equal and just system ot taxa tion, we a!!! handed a treatise selling forth the blessings which are to come to mankind through universal suffrage, thrust upon the cotton pickers of the Carolina* ; when we itig gest i tint, oin derang si currency is driving u* at luilroad speed to individual and national bankruptcy, the air is filled with alarming ru mors, and the shadow of impeachment is made to play the part oi the red blanket in the sports of the Spanish arena.” ■* O. O's Report. —Gen. O, Oh, Howard has sent in a report of his Bureau. Like Gen. Pope, he thinks the white race deci dedly inferior. The progress of the pupils in learning is stated to be very good— “ perhaps better than that o£the white chil dren ’’—and in the matter of pronunciation they have “ achieved the greatest success.” “ None of the vulgarism? which prevail among freedmen, nor even the fashionable and peculiar accent of the late aristocracy, were perceivable during the examination or exhibition!” The Other Side. —Many of our ex changes are quoting John McDonough’s maxims for becoming a millionaire. When the reader of these maxims has accomplish ed his ambition, we can give him a maxim for becoming a fooj. viz : Leave your money to two cities, like John McDonough, and permit the sharks of law to feed upon it ad lib. [From the New York lieraid. The Political Situation in the West. The elections to come off on the Bth of October in Pennsylvania and Ohio are the straws that show which way the wind blows, either for or against the supremacy of the Radical cause, with its swarthy load of negro government over a white people, aucl its rich argosy of national banks, national debt and national taxation. These elections are, therefore, watched with an anxiety all the more keen because it is based upon the two most natural and most potent instincts—self-pride and self-interest. Shall the party be permitted to obtain a renewed lease of power which would hand over ten States of the [Union to the government of an ignorant and semi-brutalized race, and would establish social and political equality with that race In the Northern States, in violation of the instincts of our people ? —a party which has run the country to the verge of ruin by its extravagance and corruption, and boldly justifies its past actions, while at the same time, on the eve of an election, it sneakingly cants about “ retrenchment and reform ” as its conduct for the fliture ? These are the questions which agitate the public mind, not only in the West, where these issues are to he im mediately tried, but all over the country. And how stands popular sentiment upon these issues in Pennsylvania and Ohio ? Froiji close observation of the canvass in both of these States we are satisfied that a marvellous reaction is taking place. Dis trust ot the Radical leaders and disgust of negro suffrage appear to have taken pos session of the rank and file of the party, and thus we find apathy prevailing to-day where enthusiasm existed a year ago. All the discipline, the organization and the money so lavishly expended, have failed to divert the thoughts of the people from the prominent questions with which the Radi cal party is saddled—negro supremacy aud a thoroughly rotten system of finance that is robbing the public in order to enrich the politicians and capitalists. Pondering upon these subjects the quondam supporters of the Radical ticket hesitate to go into the campaign with the vim that made them the most earnest supporters of the party during the war. They are callous to the inspiration of Republican documents, and they are disposed to stay at home when called upon to attend Radical meet ings and listen to the eloquence of the stump speakers. In many counties of Ohio Radical meetings have been poorly attended —hardly a corporal’s guard to cheer Ben Wade and John A. Logan—while upon the same ground Democratic speakers inveigh ing against the financial system of the Gov ernment and negro suffrage have had audi ences by the thousand. That there is a large Republican vote balancing between the two tickets even the Republican leaders do not deny, and the shrewdest calculator among them will not venture upon a pre diction that the btate is not in imminent danger of being lost to them, despite their overwhelming majority of thirty-eight thou sand a year ago. Were we to touch upon the probabilities, we would say that the Radicals in Ohio will elect their candidate for Governor, General Hayes, upon his per sonal and military record; that they will lose their majority in the Legislature, which has the election of a United States Senator in the place of Ben Wade; and that they will possibly fail to elect their candidate for Congress in the Second District to fill the seat vacated by General Hayes. Should they succeed, however, it will be by a re duced majority, tantamount to a defeat, which may be regarded as the precursor of a total discomfiture in the next election. In Pennsylvania, where the election takes place on the same day, there are no more prominent offices to be filled than that of Judge of the Supreme Court and the county offiees. There is, therefore, some indiffer ence as to the result; but it is significant of the weakness of the Radical party that in framing their platform at the State Conven tion they shirked negro suffrage altogether. For this they are denounced as mean and cowardly by the ultra portion of their own party and scoffed at by their opponents. If it was good and wise to enfranchise the black men in the ten Southern States, where they exist to the number of nearly four mil lions, why was it not so in Pennsylvania, where they number but a few thousands, and can exercise no controlling influence ? It was because the Radical platform in Pennsylvania was so shaky that they dare not put the rotten plank of negro suffrage into it. Looking over these battle fields, then, with their wavering hosts of combatants, we see, through the clouds and mists of political conflicts, a great reaction going on-r-great er, in fact, than that in Maine and Califor nia—a reaction that in ten days from now may assume the form of a revolution, may affix the handwriting upon the wall that is to doom Radicalism, with all Its offensive aggression, its limitless corruption, its Pu ritanism, sumptuary laws, cant and demor alization, to eternal perdition. The Queen is said to be greatly pleased with the notice which the first volmne ol “ The Early Years of the Prince Consort’ 1 has attracted, and the publishers have collected by her order all,the reviews of the work, and fowarded them, bound in a huge volume, to Her Majesty for perusal. Do It, If You Dare. It seems inconceivable why the Government should refuse to surrender the remains of the late Wi>fces Booth to his aged mother, especial ly as tire reruns are to be taken up on account of improvements to be made in the Arsenal grounds at Washington, where they are in terred. What has the assassin’s mother done that her tears must be treated with such inhu manity ? Is she to be held at al! responsible lor her son’s guilt ? It is not even hinted that she, or Mr. Edwin Booth, ever sympathized with the deceased in his wicked act; why should they be punished for his misdeed? Has not the law been satisfied ? Is not justice content? Or are we a nation of savages, and yearn to wreak an undying vengeance, now, upon the corpse even of a legal victim ? Christianity, not to say a decent 6ense of propriety, demands that the aged mother should not plead in vain for the body of her son. We were done with it as soon as the breath was out of it. It belongs to her who first gave it birth when it encased a sinless soul. Give it up to her. But stop. Horrible thought! Perhaps Wilkes Booth is not dead at all. Perhaps the stories so industriously circulated to that ef fect have substantial foundation. Perhaps the midnight burial of the corpse—perhaps all the mystery and secresy thrown around that inter ment—were only part and parcel of a solemn farce played off upon a confiding country by the late Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, and his unscrupulous “ friend,” detective General Ba ker. Perhaps the one hundred thousand dol lars reward paid to Baker and his associates were really handed over under a “ mistake,” some other person being shot instead of Wilkes Booth, and some other corpse furtively buried. We are loth to credit such a romance ; but this withholding of the remains (which could hard ly be identified now) is exactly the kind of a movement to keep such suspicions in active circulation. We do not credit one of these thrilling surmises; but the world is full of people who will, besides those who do, if such a fear to exhibit the alleged remains can be fastened upon our Federal authorities. Com mon sense would say surrender the body at once, and so console the weeping mother in her grief, and set forever at rest these plausible stories about Booth’s escape and a grand im position palmed off upon the nation. [N. Y. Times. The Two Horns. —Shall four million of our countrymen be henceforth serfs and outcasts in the land of their birth, with their descendants through all generations ? Such is the great question remaining to be solved by the judgment and votes of the American people.— New York Times. This is not the question at all. There are, in fact, two great questions. One of these is the Radical question, and the other the Democratic question. The former is as follows: There are four million of negroes in the South—how shall we proceed so as to dis franchise all the whites, and make the negroes all vote for our next Presidential candidate ? The Democratic question is this : There are ten States whose white popu lations are being disfranchised, and whose negroes are being given supremacy—how shall we prevent such a gross violation of the rights of the white people in these ten States ?— Chicago Times. The Lunacy of Forney.— lt is at once ludicrous and pitiable to note the condition to which Forney has been reduced by ter ror aud the dark shadows of the approach ing dissolution of the Radical party. He has become stark mad upon the subject of the organization of the “Maryland militia,” and writes several columns per day to prove that P is the determination of the President to employ this formidable body' to expel Congress. Indeed, Forney, since his return from Europe, has been engulphed in a sea of trouble; for there is a movement on foot in Pennsylvania to either tax or kill dogs, and Forney lives in Pennsylvania. [Richmond Enquirer. [From the Chicago Times, 23d. Murder Will Out. Arrest of a TL'-'-a Clerk in Chicago for a Murd.r Committe l f» Minnesota more than Two Years ago. Saturday afternoon a man named Geo. L. Van Solen was arrested at Ihe Wheeler House, in this city, by Detective Sam Eiiis, at the in stance of Chief of Police Mcllrath, of Bt. Paul, Minnesota, on the charge of the murder of Dr. H. Harcourt, near that city, in the month ot August, 1805. For over eight months Mcllrath has been engaged upon this case, and bis in vestigations have revealed one of the mo6t coolly planned aud perpetrated crimes on record. Van Solen had known Dr. Harcourt, who was a young English physician of rare attain ments, and who bad lately come to this country, iu St. Louis, in the year 1864. At that time Van Solen was in the Government service, being employed as a hospital steward in St. Louis. Here he made Harcourt’s acquaintance, and probably laid the plans which he alterward carried out. In the spring of 1865, he was in St. Paul, and by means of a decoy letter, offer ing Harcourt the position of surgeon to a bogus expedition to Lake Superior and the British Possessions, he induced Harcourt to go to St. Paul, taking with him a large supply of medi cines, surgical instruments, personal effects, and quite an amount of money. After tee ar rival of Harcourt in St. Paul, he soon mysteri ously disappeared, and from the subsequent in vestigations, it seems almost certain that be was taken down the river a few miles, by Van Solen, and murdered in cold blood. The only object of the awful crime was to obtain the possession of the effects he had brought, and the money which be was known to have. Wbat first excited suspicion of foul play was the re ;eipt of letters by the mother of Harcourt, in England ; one from her son, informing her of his appointment, and inclosing the decoy letter, and, afterward, a letter in answer to her anxious inquiries for him, from Van Solen himself, both of which were in exactly the same handwriting. Ituvas also found that, after the disappearance of Harcourt, his friends at St. Louis bad received letters, purporting to come from him, and dated “in the woods,” all of which were traced directly to Van Solen. With these facts to work upon, Mcllrath has for months been at work at the case, endeavor ing to ferret out the hiding place of Van Solen, and at last, aftet tracking him from place to place, learned that he was in this city. Satur day morning that officer arrived here, and giv ing Ellis a photograph of the supposed mur derer, and the information that he was pro bably in some second class hotel in the city, the Chicago detective started on the search. In less than an hour he had found him in the hotel named, where he was employed in the capacity of night watchman. Since his arrest he has ad mitted that he wrote the decoy letters spokeu of, and it is now almost certain that he is guilty of this horrible crime. Officer Mcllrath starts to-day for St. Paul with his prisoner, having brought with him a requisition from the Gov ernor of Minnesota. Return of Col. W. T. Thompson (“ Major Jones.”)— By the steamship Herman Living ston, Captain Baker, our long-time associate and esteemed friend, Col. W. T. Thompson, arrived at his home in Savannah, after an ex tended tour ot Europe. Most of our readers have perused his letters with gratification, and will be pleased to learn that the Colonel has returned safely and in good health, and will, in a day or two, resume his editorial duties at the desk he has occupied so successfully for more than fifteen years. In this connection we can also properly announce that Col. Thompson has the full materials for a book entitled “ Ma jor Jones in Europe,” which will soon be is sued.—Savannah News, 3C )th. Boys ought not to be permitted to travel in the season. They are too sharp. The American boy is a dangerous weapon, with an edge to him, and no handle to get hold of him by. At the William Henry House, Lake George, tb n . „h r day, a correspondent saw a lover and lady '.m'mented with the company of the lady’s younger brother. “ ’Tis a sweet lake!” sighed the lady. “ I wish I might have an island in it, and solitude.” “ Without me ?” sighed the lover, plaintively. “ You are solitude to me,” she said “Yes,” said the boy, “he’s a sweet old solitude, be is! He’s a solitude with a bar room In it, and boys to set up ten-pins. He’s more solitude by hisself than fortitude !” Murder by a Child —The Eldorado (Iowa) Ledger gives the following account of a grave crime by a boy of tender years: % Ellen Galvin, a little girl some five or six years old, in company with several other chil dren—among the number was Charles Olm stead—were playing together on the bridge across the Beaver, on Wednesday of last week. From apparently trivial causes, or no cause at all Charley seized Ellen and pitched her Into the creek, headforemost, and she was drowned before relief could be obtained. Charley is be tween nine 'en years old, and. generally mischievous, ibe act is supposed to bo one of malice premise, and Charley is under ar rest and awaiting examination.

It looses no slack while putting on, and is so perfect that the necessity for heavy hoops, to make up for defleienoie tn tho TIE, is entirely obviated. Can 1)0 sold by tho pound or ton, as cheaply as the heavy hoops and less perfect ties. Each and every TIE is warranted perfect. As an evidence offthe estimation in which these TIES are held, wc herewith append tbe certificate of tho Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. If a compotont judge can he found anywhere as to the merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely bo so considered, as he presses thousands of bales of Cotton every year, and Ties of all patents arc constantly pass ing through his hands. Office or the Central Cotton Press, ) Savannah, May 27th, 1867. ( Messrs. E. W. Sms <fc Cos., Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah. Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton, I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari ous Ties forirou bands used In baling Cotton, and pleasure in testifying to tlie superiority overall others of the “ UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad justed and is much stronger than any other Tie. A Tie that is not good at tho Press is not good at the Plantation, as nearly all tho Cotton is compressed at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then be replaced by a good one at the expense of the planter. I have , never seen one of your TIES break, though I pitched a bale of Cotton secured by them out of a econd story to the ground without any break to the fall^ Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recofh mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, as combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled strength.
