" The article going tlic rounds of the
lire-HH In reference to tlio (lisgufttlng ln-
tf.ldont In the family or Gen. Mower,
rtt Ship Island, 1 certainly cresting
panning neriMitlon. It my, or may
not, he true thitt the micro aoldier -'
duced hta daughter, or tht the daugh
ter seduced the negro, or that nHther
1 true. Still there in an air of proba
bility about It, when we consider the
legitimate conwqm-nex of Radical
doctrines about universal efuallty.
Tho young woman In question, like
thouannds In the North, has been
taught la common aehooH, Pundny
bcUquIb aud pulplU, that the negroes
are a noble and jerecuted race, Infi
nitely Biiperlor to the whites if the
South. Much teachings g1v tine, es
pecially In young women, to tender
tympathicH, which are easily exag
gerate Into love. Ruch unnatural
love BiiggeaU moral and. physical
criminality, and tho result Is that the
deluded woman contdgns herself to a
condition of Incurable disgrace and
life-long mlHcry.
In case of a rape committed by a
negro upon a Southern white woman,
Clen. Mower rescued the prisoner
from the gallowtt to which he was
legally condemned. But when his
own daughter, voluntarily, submitted
to the dlHgrnce which was forced upon
the other, tho negro, lew guilty than
his paramour, is secretly murdered by
order of tho upright Judge .and su
preme military sat fap. This murder
takes nothing from the guilt of his
daughter, but adds ImmeHHurably to
the Infamy of the father, and we cau
hut look upon the reported disgrace to
his family as an act of retributive
Justice most wisely administered.
As above stated, the story may, or
not, bo true; but it is precisely the
character of fruit to be gathered from
the doctrines of abolitioniHm. Those
who believe in the unqualified equal
ity of the races, aresiuiply conMtateut
when they act in accordance with
that lcllef. Many such are too igno
rant to read the marks of inequality
tamped by the baud of nature upon
tho types of mankind no less dis
tinct than those visible upon different
ypecles of animals. ; To those thus
taught, the buzzard Is the peer of the
eagle, the gorilla of the negro, and
the negro of the Caucasian. In ac
cordance with such belief, there can
be no moral or natural iniquity In the
process of miscegenation, aud Gen.
Mower is dishonest in condemning
the conduct of his daughter, and in
tensely criminal in tho murder of her
gizzard-footed lover.
We care not what may befall Mow
er and his daughter, Individually, but
for the honor of tho Caucasian race,
wo hopo the Htory is a fabrication.
Tun telegraph reports that even
Radicals are Indignant nt the propo
rtion of Greely, that the liogu Ar
kansas Senators be admitted to vote
In the last act of the impeachment
farce. If this would le more dis
graceful than permitting Wade to
vote for his own advancement, or for
any other Senator to vote who has
prejudged tho cam, we fail to see it.
Indeed, If the negroes who chance
to be iu tho gallery were invited to
vote, it would add nothing to tho in
famy of the whole trial, and nothing
to tho disgust of a people quies
cently looking on whilst corrupt iou
is disintegrating tho government and
decomposing all tho elements of civil
lilierty. The conspirators need not
fear any serious opposition to any
thing thoy may do, for the simple
reason that the masses have liecomc,
through Radical teaching aud exam
ple, as corrupt as it Is possilue for hu
man nature to be. Cannibalism
would scarcely slunk any, save the
victims of the enormity.
Ik Andrew Johnson wishes to die
gracefully, he ought, U-fore the Sen
nte cuts tho platfurMi, issue a procla
mation of universal amnesty, and
special pardons for such pure and dis
tinguished men as Davis and hvo. If
ho fail to do this, it will evince the
samedegrooof malignity towards the
Southern people that characterized
him as military Governor of Tcuncs-
bco, and cause his nanio and memory
to ho execrated by good men every-
wnere. jie sees that the Radical an
Kcondas are preparing to tighten their
colls around the best men of the South
aiuito crush them through envy, ma
lignity ami diabolism, and is as bad
as ilutlcraud Stauton if lie fail to In
toi'iHwu the power he may yet right
fully exorcise, In behalf of iioblcrnien
than Radicalism can conceive of,
much loss produce.
It is no unusual thing to see, In
Northern prints, lamentations over
the decline of Protestant Christianity
north of tho Ohio, Could it bo other
wise when so muuy churches have
lioeu converted Into halls for political
gatherings und pulpju Into stands for
clerUul demagogue who havo vied
with (Mu h other In doing the work of
the devil? Of all H,e Use Radical
politicians, the clergy are the basest
and most dcnoniuc lu spirit. To ex-
pect the Protestant churches to nour
ish uu-Kr such teachings Hiid guid
ance Is like looking to the Prliu-e of
Durkne-w to expound the doctrJui-a of
the l'l lnee ut l.luht, peace aud l-ui it y.
The Cutliolie Church at.aal uHof
tVoiu the dUUilical tcrn-liui:; and
pruv'.l-vs of RidlmuMi preached
from the Bible instead of "Helper's
Impending Crisis," and hosits reward
in an Increasing membership and a
growing, reputation for piety and
honesty ef conviction.
This state of things argues nothing
against Protestantism, but proves a
strong and growing disgust with
Protestant clergymen, and conse
quent doubts of the efficacy of a faith
which has failed to preserve the moral
integrity of so many who profess It,
and which fails to deter it salaried
propounders from entering the ser
vice of the devil, as Radical emissa
ries. Christians so corrupt as those
who are in the Radical party, are
warnings ratlter than examples for
those who are without the pale of the
church.
The prolliiHty is that, ere our next
issue, the curtain will have dropped
Upon the last act of the Impeachment
fame, and the long expectant audience
will have retired some exulting over
the success of usurpation and tyranny;
others saddened by the painful con
viction that liberty is dead and that
the boasted capacity of the American
people for self-goverument wan but
the idle dream of the patriots of "76."
The wisdom of Washington enabled
him to foresee the dangers ahead and
he niapied out the breakers upon
which the Ship of State has been
wrecked. The vlrtueand intelligence
relied Usn to guide the helm and
keep this chart ever in view, suc
cumbed to the mutinous, ignorant
and corrupt crew which steered blind
ly for the point of danger, and lo ! the
wreck I
No matter what may lie the decis
ion of the Senate, the overthrow of
the government is already a fixed
fact. An emasculated Executive and
a Supreme Court subservient to the
will of the usurpers have the effect to
make Congress supreme over the co
ordinate departments and with the
sword and the purse in its hands, it is
idle to expect that it will part with its
lowcr, or Buffer it to be wrested from
them through the agency of the bal
lot box. Bayonets and money will
carry the next election, and another
four years of Radloal tyranny will
enslave the country for generations
to come. A people too corrupt and
mercenary to resist the first blow at
their rights and liberties possess too
many of the attributes of slaves to be
awakened to a love of freedom until
driven to despair by intolerable op
pression. Should this time ever arrive, the
present generation of knaves, fanatics
and fools will have entailed upon pos
terity all the wrongs and sufferings
endured by tho people of England ere
they wrested tho magna charts from
the grasp of enthroned despotism. A
brave spirit and a sturdy blow at the
right moment would have secured the
blessings of freedom to the present
and many sulisequent generations.
But this spirit was stifled by the nox
ious influences of unhallowed ambi
tion, selfish knavory anil blind fanat
icism, and the arm that should have
struck tho blow was unnerved by fear
or by motives even less honorable.
The result is a government subverted
anil a whole people enslaved. If this
picture Is too dark, let those give It
brighter colors who believe that the
virtue and Intelligence of the few can
control the frenzied Ignorance of the
masses first maddened by knaves
and then corrupted.
One of the charges against the
President. Is Impropriety of lansruture.

Old Ren. Wade's Southern policy
is to increase the army, to keep the
negroes iipirmoMt and the whites
undermost, and then sell the lands of
the whites to pay the bill. We do
not belle vo that even so Infamous a
wretch as Wadecould have originated
an idea so fiendish. The devil must
have whispered it in his ear, and his
willing agent adopts It us his own.

Impeachment.
Washington, D. C, May The
President's defense was concluded
this afternoon: by the argument of
Stanbery, who- come from a bed of
sickness to discharge this solemn
duty.. After speaking half an hour
he was utterly exhausted and by per
mission his secretary read hfs pre
pared argument. Stanbery, however,
rallied and delivered the concluding
portion. . r -
lloavy wagers were laid to-day on
the final result, the odd being In
favor of conviction. ' -
On the adjournment of the court
me mcmis-rs or the House returned
to- their hail, where another outrage
ous awn ccurred, and the actors
were Grant's political keeper. Wash
bur no, of Illinois, and Douelley, of
ju'.niiesoia, noin ivwncois.
Washburne wants the whole family
in the House, aud wrote a letter to his
brother, woo wants to supplant Don
nelly, accusing him of fraud, swind
ling, and passing under an assumed
name. .
Donnelly produced documentary
evidence exculpating himself from
every charge, and then piwecded to
stain Washburne. which hedidcrlee-
tually, and in terms so vituperative
ne was repeMHy called to order, and
this he did for an hour.
Washburne replied, excitedly reit
erating the charges in coarse terms,
slinking his fist at ills adversary.
IiOgan and Gen. Washburne, an
other of the family, promptly pacified
Washburne. This little row exem
plifies the old adage when thieves fall
out honest people get their dues, anil
If these fallows tell the truth about
each other one ought to be in the State
prison and the other in the lunatic
asylum.
There Is talk of a resolution of cen
sure on Washburne, if not expulsion,
for his conduct. ,
If the President is convicted, a com
mittee from all the principal cities In
vite him to visit them and he will ac
cept, and will commence speaking
first in Boston, and maklnir the tour
of the country; but he is hopeful of
nviiumui.
Washington May 3. 18C8.--Man-agers
of impeachment, and other
prominent Radicals, after calling to
day on Senators for the purpose of as
certaining thelrstatus on thequestlon
since the close of the President's de
fense, and to exert on them all the
influence possible. ' '
Butler laughs at the idea of acquit
tal, and says he was never more con
fiidentof winning a case. He claluft
forty votes for conviction.
In view of Wade' anticipated pro
motion to the Executive Department,
his future policy toward the South Is
of the highest importance. The other
day he was addressed on this subject
by a Pennsylvania member of the
House, who said that from informa
tion he had received he had appre
hended trouble between the whites
and blacks in those Stutes. Wade
said lie thought it was quite probable.
What can be done to prevent it was
theinquiry. Wadorespondedit would
pe necessary to increase the military
force in that section. His friends sug
gested that the people North are now
paying an enormous tax, and protes
ted against thoir being augmented to
support a large military force. Wade
said it would be remedied by requir
ing the States to foot the bill, and
when reminded of their impoverished
condition he intimated that their
lands were abundantly able to meet
all demands, as the constitution in
Alabama ami other States provided
for raising negro soldiers the protection
which will lie extended that unfortu
nate people will be such as the wolf
gives to the lam h.
The scene in the house yesterday Is
severely criticised to-dav, and partic
ularly tho conduct of Washburne, for
vulgar and coarse as was Donnelly's
tirade, he Is held somewhat exeu'sa
blo under tho provocation. Wash
burn's friends are working to prevent
the introduction of a resolution of
ceusuro, and, with the aid of Grant,
may stop It.
A New York Radical of the House
during the proceeding declared he
would not witness such a disgraceful
and extraordinary outrage. There
are no fears of a fight.
New York, May 5. A dispatch
states that Senator Fessenden has
prepared an opinion that there are no

but failed to convince Fessenden.

Washington, May 4. Bingham's
speech In tho Senate to-dav, was a
political harangue, not to leilignified
by the name of an argument. It
abounded in high-sounding words
audi its the "aecustsj ami perjured
President," &e., ami was at most a
declamation without ticing noticeable
only for sound and fUry. It was
without method, point or force, and
many Senators growing uneasy at
his tirade, employed their time In
reading books or newspapers, or writ
ing; while members of the House
generally returned to their own hull.
It is the weakest s)ccch of the trial.
An affair of honor took place at
Bladensburg this morning. After an
exchange of shots, iu which neither
was hit, the affair was amicably ad

in the apisiintnient of a committee

A most Right eoua Law.
The Legislature of Ohio has passed
a law compelling all ballots to be
pnnteti or written on White paper.
The object is to make the ballots uni
form In color, so that every man. rich
and poor, shall vote his sentiments
witnout rear or favor. Heretofore in
Radical districts, especially where
large operators live, employing many
men, the rule has been for the opera
tors to print blue or yellow tickets.
These were given to their workmen
Just before voting. They voted them
ana retained their place; if against
mem mey were Immediately thrown
out of employment. The Radicals
have been doing this foryears. Hun
dreds 01 votes nave Deen mus con
trolled, and thus hundreds of men
have been compelled to vote against
their honest sentiments, and for those
they detested and despised, or lose

THE I'OXSWHACY.
Tukinor into account all theincl
dents which make up the situation in
Tennessee ; the general quietude of
society; me law-abiding spirit or the
people; the pecuniary stagnation
of tne times; the excessive taxes lev
ied to support an unpopular local
uovernment; me one-sided applica
tion of coarse partisan stiiniiianU';
and the thousand enormities, losses
and annoyances of the proscrlptivo
and ignorant system under which we
are compelled tolive without thchope
of redress considering wesay the course
of resistance on the one hand and the
patient submission of the people ou
the other, somo idea of tho brutality
of the propositions now put forward
uy uovernor urowniow and his Con
gressional advisers may bo obtained
by the honest reviewer of events.
The-meaning of those propositions
Is simply this: "Notwithstanding
there is no pretext, we must make a
pretext; 11 me people will not revolt,
we must make them seem to revolt;
and as the succession of Ben ' Wade
puts everything in our power, we
must liegin to prepare the way for the
operation of our forces."
Thus the prosperity of an entire
community ,!und the peaceof an unof
fending and powerless society, are to
be sacrificed in onler to make capital
for tlio Radical party during the Pres
idential campaign.
There will bo no Democratic, ticket
run in Tennessee There Is - no
DeiniKTatio movement, deserving
the name of a movement, organ
ized In any part of the State.
Tho radicals have it all their own
way. They are the only candidates
for office and the only voters. They
have possession of every placo of pro
fit or trust from the Governor down
to Justices of tlio Peuoe and Consta
bles. No' one interferes with them;
aud fur six months very little has
Is en said by the press on the subject.
We have Uen trying the efficacy of
silence. Wo have only noticed the
radical murders, Judicial aud political.
The petty offenses : tlio malnrnctioes
of corrupt Judges ; the packed Juries;
the stuffed ballot-boxes ; tho iusolenee
of negroes; the house-burnings; the
nreui 11 nil piotungs or the secret
leagues, those lesser evils of radical
domination we havo borne In the hope
that our tirbcamnccB might procure
us repose and ultimate relief. Rut It
is to no puriMjse. Capital Is to hemado
for the party in tho North. No mat
ter how paeeriil we are, we are not
to have peace. The plan is marked
out at Washington; is sent thence to
Knoxvllle; aud suddenly, like a clap
of thunder in a clear sky, it breaks
upon ih,
f he coiirseof this conspiracy against
the )Mploof Tennessee has lieeu sub
tle but steady. Three months ago a
mysterious telegraph appeared In the
I'hlcago ptier about "a pluii," so
the dispatch stated, "of the rebels to
capture Nashville, rrJ the State or
r iiV. ," but the telegram went on to
fny, "Governor Rrowulow will not
call for troops and thinks he can hold
Ulsowo." Till dispatch, Harted by ,
the Tennessee Congressional dele
gation irom vvasnington, wasnotsent
whero it could bo answered or ridi
culed. It was manipulated ; into the
far Western press. At the time the
Governor was . rusticating at home
and the capital, State arclileves and
all. were oefenflpr! hv irn ,r.wul

at once more congenial and more resl
peeuuse man playing boss over the
ransacked chastity and plundered
treasures of the Government of Ten
nessee. After this dose of poison had
done its work, Bosson's sensation
about the Kuklux Klan came out.
Then followed a characteristic fulml
nade from Brownlow; and finally we
have the letter of the Tennessee dele-
irhMnn In f.m ... I

nuuy me people into a war whether
they want to fight or not; to rob, to
uurn, lupuiHgc, 10 insuii widows ana
orphan children; in short, to make
capital for the radical Presidential
campaign.
Thus we go from bad to worse. Do
what we will, we are not permitted
to be at peace. ; Such is practical re
construction in Tennessee; such is rad
icalism 01 me iirownlow species. To
oust Johnson; to organize military
force In the South: to nrovoke n dis
turbance, to get a pretext to declare
martial law: to put Grant, by bayo

into the White House, Is the regular,
radical, geometrical progression. .
