Giifct is master—for the time being— and'Congress slave. The ostensi ble qf.tbus heaping more in sura an rages upon that pros trate, crushed people, is the so-called “Ku-Klux disturbances;” the real ani mus Os Grant is to check the growing power of the Southern Democracy by squelching out at once, with a single bibtf, expression whatever not agrecribrato the dictator, at the South 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 ♦idiers of the Administration into her cities and towns to hold her white cit izens gapped and shackled, by bayo an inch of their throats.— intends, if possible, to be the reagjflSriary political sentiment or the country', and as it is only 7 necessary , to bind hand and foot just enough of [ the Union .to give him a clear raajori- I ty, and as the South is thus more casi- Ily shackled than the North, he sends lliis armed myrmidons there instead of there. is to borne on, -continued year, lime will j*show. If party of the country, of S. Grant seems of late to be abPWhte leader and mas ter, striking down, right and left, all •■advisers whose opinions do not coin tffde with his, is support him, 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. Y. Day Book. 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 wdrfr- Anew fire company lias beoti or ganized in Atlanta, to be called the Robert E. Lee. 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. Cure for Rheumatism. — Mr. W. J. Golden, of Macon, Georgia, has dis covered what lie considers? an infalli ble remedy for this terrible ailment, and proposes to furnish the fro# of charge to any one wishing to use lit, who will him Om the sub ject, enclosing a stamp lor return posh ago. » j * ~ 5 lifASHixoTox, April 3.—The govern ment expenses for March were sl3, NouliiintioßS—W.

These Ku Klux outrages have been carried far enough. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, discussed Grant's chance of renomination. The opposition to the “bayonet candidate” grows stronger every day, in the Re publican ranks. The Tribune says: “It is now apparent that a strong op position to General Grant exists, which includes a number of Senators and Representatives of large influence and national reputation.” : Funny.— -The Savannah News lias got into a funny vciu.
