ern The South is to be
Polarized. She is to have no repre
senlatipm no political opinion, no
voicfflnlhc government, National or
State, S. Grant, does not indorse,
and the pouring of the armed

cities and towns to hold her white cit

an inch of their throats.—
intends, if possible, to be

, to bind hand and foot just enough of

of late to be abPWhte leader and mas
ter, striking down, right and left, all

arkl lend him to continue on
this infamous despotism which seems
to be the spirit of the hour, and in
1872' re-in state office, it will
not be as President, but as a monarch,
who will never, while lie lives, ask of
this people through the ballot-box an
other expression of their views of his
Administration! He will seat him
self permanently as a Dictator of this
nation, and the political horrors of the
future cannot even be imagined.—N.

Bill to Abolish White Slaveby i*
the South. —The following is the full
text of the bill introduced in the House
on Monday, by Mr. Van Trump, of
Ohio, and which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted &c., That on
and after the 4th of July 7, 1871, there
shall bo in the States lately in Rebel
lion neither slavery 7 nor involuntary
servitude, except for the punishment
of crime, of or among the white deni
zens of such States, commonly dehorn
inated the Caucasian race, contradis
tinguished from the higher caste of
of American citizens of African de
scent, and that white persons, as a
special act of grace and favor, shall
forever and hereafter have, hold, and
possess all the rights, privileges, im
munities, and franchises as the said
dominant colored Ethiopian race now
possess in all the late rebellious States
as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted <tc., That
the President of the United States
be fully 7 authorized to employ 7 all the
military force of tliG nation to carry
out the provisions of this act.
Frank Blair never came nearer the
truth, says the Sun, than when lie said
in the Senate that “Radical anxiety
about the disorders in the South grew 7
out of Southern Democratic victories.”
Had the Southern States gone Repub
lican instead of Democratic, we should
have heard notiiing of these outrages,
but Grant and Congress would have
been satisfied with the work of rccon
struction, and would have ceased.from
their labors and awaited the coming
of the fruit of their toil in a harvest
of Southern Electoral votes. As it is,
however, .the Southern people have
manifested a shocking disposition to
cling to Democratic cabal, and refuse
to,bow the knee to the Radical Baal.
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, all went back upon all the
Republican record they ever had.
This was discouraging to Radicalism.
These States are lost to them and they
kriowUb But they will have revenge—
they 7 will repay: hence threat

What a Georgia Woman is j
Something about Mrs. Mary E.
Tucker —An Energetic Lady. j
' <
The following shows what a Geor
gia woman is capable of accomplUh-1
ing. Mr§; Tucker went to New York
in straightened oireum stances, but de
■terminer! to work her way to a com
latency and win honorable fame. We
rare pleased to hear of her axtraordina
! ry and complete success:
Mrs. Mary E. Tucker, the sweet
| poetess, whose name is now so familiar
to the American public, is one of the
most industrious of our American jour
nalists. During the last- years, she
contributed to the New York press
one hundred and forty fashion articles,
twenty-five poems, fifteen sketches,
and wrote twenty letters for country
papers, besides various journalistic
notes and items in various fashion de
pnrtments. Mrs. Tucker has also a
large purchasing business, giving em
ployment to several assistants. The
correspondence connected with this
business has made it necessary for her
to answer over two thousand letters,
and purchase SIO,OOO worth of goods
within the last six months, mostly dry
goods, fancy articles and jewelry. For
the next year she has engaged to con
tribute one- article, weekly to the New
Yqrk Weekly 7 , to the fashion
articles and poems -f >r Pomeroy’s
Democrat and write the “ Notes for
Buyers,” for the New York Daily-
Democrat. She contributes, besides,
to Bonner’s Ledger, and occasionally
to the Few York Leader. The-gread
ers of Packard’s Monthly well remem
ber her beautiful poems, “ The One,”
and “A Woman's Prayer,” and an es
say of .remarkable power and grace,
“Am Ia Woman’s "Rights Woman ?’’
in which she ably advocated tire nega
tive side of the Woman's Suffrage
question.
Among all he: varied contributions
to the press she has never penned a
liuo of satire, scandal or slander. Asj
a lady of society, she is admired for
the tact, amiability- and grace with
which she receives and bestows atten
tion. She is a pretty blonde, with a
tender and melancholy 7 expression of
countenance, and gentlemen find her
fascinating, while she is universally
beloved by her own sex.
A Horrible Tragedy.
The Rome, Commercial tells the fol
lowing: Rumor brings the details of
a horrible tragedy that is said to have
occurred in St. Clair county, Alabama.
The rumor runs that the Tax Collec
tor of St. Clair had got together a
large amount of taxes and gave them
to his wife to keep; remarking as he
did so that he was compelled to take
a trip that would necessitate his ab
sence from home for three or four
days. He left and she hid the money.
About ten o’clock that night a party
of men, wearing disguises, broke in
upon the lonely woman and demanded
the tax money: She refused to give it
up or tell where it was. After at
tempting in vain V> force her to tell
the hiding place of the treasure they
searched for it and found it. After
possessing themselves firmly of the
money, they ordered her to get some
supper. While she was busying her
self witii this forced task she acheived
the ideaof poisoning them,and thus pre
serving at once the money and* her
husband’s honor. She adcftly slipped
some arsnic in the coffee she was mix
ing. They drank heartily, and fell
dead shortly afterwards. She strip
ped their disguises off and found that
two of them were strangers, but the
third was her husband, who had tak
en this-means of stealing the taxes of
the pcoole. The story is almost too
horrible for crcdulence, but our in
formants were confident that the facts
were as they stated them.

Remarkable Honesty. —A gentleman
of Methodist persuasion from the coun
ty of Forsyth, hauled in h-s cotton yes
terday, and when the speculator sam
pled it, twelve cents pci 7 pound was
offered as the highest market price;
when the Methodist gentleman exam
ined the sample and contended that
the speculator must try the other side,
as he knew it was far inferior and not
worth the top of the market. The
other side was sampled and the hon
est farmer sold his cotton at ten cents
per pound.—Atlanta Sun.
