While the eyes of the nation are'
gazing uimn the nail fate of Louie lana,
Grant and bin carpet-baggers are fix
ing up even a deadlier scheme against
Arkansas. Kcarcely had the Commit
tee, to Investigate Arkansas affairs,
made their report, declaring that the
State of Arkansas “has been os peotw
ful, since the new Government was
inaugurated, as it has ever been,’’and
denying the right of the Federal Gov
ernment to interfere with t lie govern
ment established by a State, than
Grant sends to Congress a special
message, directly at variance with the
tone and temper of the report of the
Committee. The aiiologists assert
that the message was prepared under
the influence of the carpet-baggers of
Arkansas, and dictated by “landau
let” Williams,
Our renders will recollect that sev
eral months since Arkansas was in a
state of scml-war, owing to the fact
that two of her citizens claimed the
Gubernatorial chair. Grant did not
definitely interfere, but upon the ap
pointment of au Investigating Com
mittee by Congress, Brooks yielded
the State to his adversary. This left
the whole matter in the hands of the
lieople, and- they determined to de
cide who was regularly elected, and
almost unanimously the people called
a Constitutional Convention, and the
members to the same wore regularly
elected, and they made for their State
a Constitution. During all this time,
the Administration remained quiet,
and tlie Investigating Committee re
portosabovo mentioned. Now,Grant
proposes to undo the ent ire work, and
take upon himself to decide between
the two contestants, provided Con
gress will not do it, and starts with
the assertion that Brooks was elected.
His message deliberately proposes to
remand the State to tho chaos and
confusion that existed in her borders
previous to this Convention, and to
utterly disregard tho wish of tho en
tire lieople. He gives Congress to un
derstand that if It does not net
promptly, and to suit him, he will
take the matter in his own hands and
carry out his views to suit himself
and “UuidaiUet."
Grant knows such a policy is not In
the least conducive to i>eace and good
order; and sue.h conduct on Id- part
only serves to strengthen the opinion
of tlie South, that he means to do all
in liis power to keep the South in an
unsettled condition, productive of an
archy and riot.
We consider this effort on his part
as more tyrannical than the policy
pursued towards Louisiana. We do
not know whether Grant will carry
out his threat, hut there is this thing
certain, he Ims a number of unprinci
pled men with him, who will wink at
any oppression lie proposes for us.
Fbom tlie following we learn that
at last somebody lias felt sorry for
doing wrong. Tho sword of Gen.
Iverson has boon returned to him by
a widow whoso better instincts would
not allow hor to keep what her hus
band took Irom an old man. The
sword Gen. Iverson prizes ns having
lieen given him by the citizens of tills
city before the war:
Tlie willow of the Inti' Commander Cush
ing sent by express to Alfred Iverson, of
Georgia, to-day, a sword which had been
presented by the citizens of Columbus
to that gentleman previous to the war, but
which had lusen raptured by Cushing In
i me of liis raids.
One of our exchanges says: “Let
justice be done. Mr. Sloan, the Re
pultcan candidate from the Savannah
District, in casting his own vote
against the civil rights bill, infornn'd
the House of Representatives, by au
thority, that Mr. Freeman, if present,
would also vote against the bill. We
quote from the Congressional R<:-
cord.”
But why was not Sir. Freeman not
“present!” That’s wliat we would
like to know.
Recently a negro was lynched at
Urbaua, Ohio, for rape. Tiiose en
gaged in the lynching only gave him
time to say liis prayers. If this had
been done in the South, it would have
been called a conspiracy to deprive a
colored man of his liberty, and an act
of open rebellion, and we would have
been denounced as cut-throats and
red-hauded murderers.
The Detroit Free Press wants to
know it this couutry is composed of
Phil Sheridan and his [spurs, or is it
made up of real estate, lakes, rivers,
and now and then an unassuming
citizen?
An important doeision was recently
rendered by the Supreme Court of
Alabama, viz: that the act requiring
-jurors to bo selected from the list of
registered voters, does uot repeal that
section of the code which allows a
juror in a criminal ease to be chal
lenged because he is not a house
holder or free-holi ter. ” Judge Briek
ell dissented.
A Washington Jfsjiatch assertsthat
Pinchbeck has resorted to the unu
sual means of addressing a memorial
to and distributing with his own
hands copies of it among Senators,
urging them to take speedy action on
his credentials as Senator from Lou
isiana, and saying his good name and
tlie interests of that State suffer by
the delay.
Peanuts are rapidly coining to the
■front as an article of trade. Ten
years ago the crop did not amount to
more than 160,000 bushels. Last year
2,000,000 bushels were raised, valued
at $3,000,000. Philadelphia alone
takes 800,000 bushels of peanuts.
A FKIEXM.Y LKTTF.It.
Editor Times: We, If you will til- *
low us to use the royal pronoun, unite
! to thank you for your calm hud dig-
I nlfled defense of Southern ohnrtteter
jin a recent issue of your paper. A
j crisis seems to be approaching in our
I political history us u tuition, tlie re
sult of which no human foresight can
fathom. Anarelty on the one hand,
: and the smouldering spirit of freo
ildm ou tlie other, are struggling tor
the ascendency. The South, always
foremost in tier vindication of consti
tutional restriction and in her loyalty
to the constitutional obligation, is tlie
victim. But her martyrdom is not
without avail. Ogden’s charge upon
tlie Metropolitan Guard woke tho
American people from an uputhy as
fatul to political us tlie slumbers of
the frozen man to physical life. The
promptness with which the blow was
struck, tlie antagonism it displayed,
the spirit it exercised, and the mad
whirl iuto which it lias driven the ad
herents of tyranny, have marked it in
the calendar of our history us u mem
orable day. From it we have set out.
on anew era of true Republican life,
or on that easy road to follow the to
tal destruction of Republican institu
tions. This is no mere lesthotienl in
dulgence; it lives us a stubborn fact,
little noticed, it may be now, but of
sufficient magnitude to show that tlie
Southern jieoplo tire not butchers and
assassins; that from her soil, luxuri
ant os her cotton weed, a crop of gi
ants may yet spring. The dragon’s
teeth have been already sown by the
reckless hand of fanaticism and hate.
There arc comparatively very few
Southern people who have been led
into the error of su]qiosiug t hat eilher
the pulpit, the politicians or the press
of the North, have any kindly feel
ing towards us, or that they desire
our prosperity. Many of the emissa
ries sent here since the war; many,
even, who have come of their own uo
cord; and others, who left their coun
try for their country’s good, have stu
diously striven to make us believe
this fact. Some have whined to us in
nasal and patronizing tones their be
lief in the restoration of harmony and
brotherly love; they have talked to
us hugely of helping to build up waste
places, and deplored the tyranny and
injustice of the Government that has
sought to oppress and destroy us.
And yet those very men, with some
single selfish aim in view, animated,
as is the Northern mind, by an invet
erate and increasing hostility, have
not failed also to remind us that our
punishment is that merited by disloy- ’
al subjects, and that wo can never at- i
tain tlie position of our hopes until i
we cease to bo Ignorant, and vile, and
cowardly, and rebellious, and follow
the illustrious example of that icy
clime, where morality began in burn
ing old women for witches, and has
been advancing through its succes
sive steps of perfection until it has
nursed free love into a ripe woman
hdod, nnd firmly established, even in
Boston, its asylums for the wholesale
commission of infanticide. To the
true Southern mail who loves his sec
tion for tlie untarnished honor of its
manhood and the virtue of its women,
tho comparison, to which we are so
often of late subjected, is only amus
ing. It should teach us all this fact,
however, that beoauso a man hap
pens to belong to the side of tlie op
pressors, he Impiiens also to have
imbibed the conviction that, as we
ore poor, overpowered and oppressed,
and because he belongs to that groat
section which has made us i>oor and
has overpowered and oppressed us,
he is at liberty to think, speak and
write about us as he pleases; just as
Mtessi, King of Uganda, when visited
by Col. Long, the agent of the Egyp
tian Government, had the heads of a
hundred human beings decapitated
because lie wished to honor Col.
Long, and because those human be
ings were in his power. Our North
ern brother thinks he lienors himself
and does us great good when he points
out our concealed pistols, our fre
quent homicides, our general lock of
information and refinement, and bids
us look txi tin* region from whence he
came, for the correction of these dan
gerous symptoms. It was Sir Walter
Scott, we believe, who remarked that
ft man who wrote at alt, was sure to
write most of that particular thing to
which he either was or wished him
self addicted. The hypothesis, if cor
rect, lliuy tteeount for the venom of
some of our Northern counsellors.
There is one thing lacking, how
ever, and it is a great desideratum.
Tlie theory may be good enough, but
the example is nowhere seen. Some
men, indeed, who preach to others,
themselves become castaways.
Wo heard once of a temperance
lecturer who carried with him his
drunken brother to enforce and illus
trate liis theory. How profitable it
would be, if those who pretend to
teach us morality, would exhibit to
us a good specimen for our imitation.
No doubt some free love institution,
or infanticide asylum, or John Brown
club, would furnish them gratis. It
is fair, at least, to presume that char
ity like theirs would justify tho ex
penditure, if satisfied of our need of
illustration.
While penning these lines the in
formation readies us of the jiassage
of the Civil Rights bill by the House.
You conclude your comments upon
this foolish piece of legislation with
the'remark that it will never prove a
success in the South. If we under
stand each other, we are agreed. But
the success you speak of, is not the
success hoped for by those who would
blot with it the national statute
book. The Civil Rights bill is
the last desperate venture of that
faction of the Radical party
which lias determined to control the
Government or destroy it. The fail
ure to pass it at the last session of
Congress shows that it was not then
either a political principle or n party
necessity, but that it was simply an
outgrowth from the foetid liot-bed of
Radical hate. They have been hold-j
1 ing it, like tlie sword of Damocles,
j above the head of tlie helpless South
to remind it of rebellion and force it
inlo loyalty. Not now u political
principle, it has become a party nc
; eesslty; for they have been hulked in
! every other, of their many efforts, to
betray the South Into some overt net
lof so-called treason. Even the Exec
utive power, once _oppqsetl to il as
j impolitic., is supposed now to have
I promised aequieseenoe and to have
j urged its adoption.
I The South, however, will have
learned little from the ordeal t hrough
which it has passed, if this effort to
seduce It into error is at ail success
ful. The plot is too absurd ; die
dramatis persnntr are too well known;
and what is seriously intended us a
drama of blood, will resolve itself
iuto a broad and contemptible farce.
From the Mosaic law, with
its unamended decalogue, down
to the tattered arid threadbare
Constitution of American t'r< dairp,
j this is the first serious effort, made
, by law-makers, human or divine, to
regulate the social relations by leg
islative enactment. It. may serve tho
purpose, however, of teaching us
more accurately man’s capacity for
self-government. Like the transit of
I Venus to the astronomer, it may dis
: cover to the American statesman, his
real distance from the source of light
and beat, and our chances of contin
ued existence as a freed people. But
we greatly mistake If it meets the
specific end for which it is enacted.
Strang as the Imlucenn jits are to
evade' its intended complications, a
stronger barrier still exists in those
natural laws, which override tho
acts of human legislation with an
instinct more sensitive than that
by which animal life shuns the
danger that would destroy it. It
will live out Its little day of sickly,
fevered life, and die “unknelled, tin
coffined and unmounted.”
It was Tom Fnine, if we mistake
j not, who wrote: “That Government,
like dress, is the badge of lost inno
cence, and the palaces of Kings are
built upon tlie ruins of tlie bowers of
Paradise.” And the question will re
cur in tlie midst of all that is now dis
turbing t,li (forernineiit," If our
nudity is not shocking, our bowers
sadly ruined and kingly palaces lay
ing deep and brood foundations upon
Yankee Doodle soil? The question,
however, does not address itself to
the South, for she stands a dumb and
uncomplaining victim in tlie midst of
Constitutional demolition, every w >rd
that she lias uttered branded as re
bellion, and every deed she attempts
J misconstrued into treason. With
those, then, who assert p -culiar loy
alty to the Government, as created,
and whose numerical superiority lias
given them the power, rests tlie solu
tion of the question. If revolutions
never go backward and present indi
cations point tlie course of ours. Mad
ame Roland may not live in history
as the solitary victim who complain
ed, that much crime was done trt the
name of liberty.

Patent Rrir.Koifi Ttatfrr. A patent
railroad ticket has been placed on
sale by the Baltimore and Ohio llail
t'oad Company between Baltimore
and Washington, and vice versa, :
which is a perfect cheek on the trade
of ticket scalping. Tho merit of the
ticket is that it cannot be used twice.
It is an ordinary coupon form, the
contract portion merely showing the
point of departure. The portion re
tained by the passenger is an audi
tor’s cheek only, which shows desti
nation from point of departure.
Either coupon detached when pre
sented is worthless. It affords to the
conductor a much desired protection,
and lie only renders himself liable to
suspicion when lie fails to obey posi
tive instructions to detach his portion
on liis first round, mid take up tie
auditor’s cheek on final round. It is
the invention of Mr. Wm. T. Theiin,
auditor of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, and no doubt
will come into general use, as the
same principle can be applied to all
coupon tickets of connecting lines,
lay-over cheeks and round trip tick
ets.
Mi mi in Yi.ir.Hiss. The movement
to secure pensions for tils voter,ms of

the soldiers of that war are fuliv as
much eiiUAh 'l to h '.iiisieiet.il recog
nition of their sit'vices m those who
espoused the cause of their country
in any other struggle. The State As
sociation of Veterans Inis already
taken action, calling on (' ingress tit
give pensions to all siddiei who
fought for the United States in tiiat
war, mid appointed delegates, who
are to go on to Washington with the
view of working in concert with dele
gates from other sections, with the
object of securing tin -e pensions.

tlie treg.ro tile balance of the more ..
with instructions to go to the s-ore
kept by Mr. Baugh, who could furn

the negro did and carried the whis

reading the receipts. Smith exclaim
ed : “You have played h 1. Why
didn't you buy it all from one man ?”
“Because,” answered Sam ho, “Mr.
