It seems impossible for a to pass without some resolution being offered in Congress to curb the terrible propensities of the South to kill, murder, brim, des stroy and do all manner of hei nous and nefarious things against loyal citizens who have dared all mauuer of hardships to give the light of their presence and the w a, great benefit of their association to that most diabolically wicked and awful section of our country. Seuator Abbott, of North CaiOi lina, yesterday introduced a biH in the Senate to provide against the "frequent violations of public peace in various Southern locali- ties," and to "report what legis lation is required, and especially to iuquu-- c into the constitution ality aud expediency of estab lishing a national police force for the better enforcement of law." This resolution was refered to the appropriate committee, aud will probably come up again af ter awhile iu some shape or oth- er. This resolution is the fifteen thousandeth nine h unci ret h and ninety-nint- h of its kind, and I can safely assert without fear of successful contradiction, that the number will be increased by a little over one hundred thousand before the end of tho party in power. a do not oojecr. toras number of their resolutions, but I do object to the constant harp- ing on one string, the lack of or iginality in the language and spirit of all these resolutions, "One smell ofa nigger" on a hoi day may not be unsupporiable. but five thousand sniffs are more than a white man can bear. But these are inflictions which we must bear for awhile. Perhaps Paovideuce will come to our res cue bv and bv. The sudden - - r duction of the tores of mechanics employed in the various navy yards of the country has awaken- ed great and unexpected trouble, and the Senate was engaged yes- terday in taking up a bill author- izing the Secretary of Navy to continue these mechanics in em ploy. There can be no doubt that the electioneering "dodge' of turning s on the ground of retrenchment was unquestionably a stupendous blunder, and the Radicals see this very clearly. "It is but one of the couutless blonder which the party has made within the past year, and which will inevi tably destroy it. In the House another effort was made Dv Jar. Cimom to bring up the Mormon difficulty. He reported a bill in aid of the execution of the laws in the Ter ritory of Utah. It was re com mitted. One of itB sections pro vides that ail perBOnB are incom- petent as grand r petit jurors who believe in, advocate, or prac fcice bigamy, concubinage or po lygamy: Any man who shall ive or cohabit with one woman or more, other than his lawful wife, as his wife or Wives, shall be adjudged guilty of the crimei of concubinage, and on convic tion thereof, shall . . be pueished jr ; I by a fine uot eaceeoHugoae inozi- - sandilo'-larB- , imprisonment in thejQf Penitentiary at hard labor sot more than fivo years. The bal ance of the bill provide great and severe penalties upon all who hall in any sense against the spirit of the oiil. The Mormon inrlica rfalt Lake Citv. a few . w I .ys sinse, declared they fully in favor of polygamy, aud repudiated a M the sympathy for their "misior tunes' inveighed a-- , gainst all the charges of immor-- j ahty, &c, which have been huns ed. against their favorae institu- tion which is right? Shall the ladies who it is to be presumed. are fully acquainted with all the beauties ol this institution be in- dulged in their Wishes or shall Maseachosatts provail against them ? We wonder if enag has had any effect in inducing New .England men and .women to 'pitch into" the privileges of JAQUES.

Mr. Dawes, a Radical member of Congress from Massachusetts, said in a speech in the House of Bepi esentatives, that the Ad. dayjixiiuistratton of Gen. Grant was spending forty millions of dollars a year more tban that of Andrew Johnson! Yet, Radical party leatleis and presses, tell the tax- payers wonderful stories about the ecouomy of Grant's Admin istration and the fabulous reduc- tion of the public debt. Now, reader, remember that Mr. Dawes is a Republican member of Con- gress and bear in mind also that none ,of the Republican paperB lof this country will publish the speech of Mr. Dawes. This econ- omical Administration of Grant is only a andig forty millions of dollars a year more tban that of Andrew Johnson, which Radi cal politicians said was the most extravagant ever had in this country. How do the people like Radical . Economv and Grant's Reform ! An exchange says : "You might as well attempt to sham poo the bead of an elephant with a thimbleful of soapsuds as to at tempt to do business and ignore printer's ink." Hon. George H.

Radical administrations are niost thoroughly infused wifh the spirit of experiment. They have made no less tban fifteen different changes in the money of the country Bince they came in power, in 1861. They have also changed the postage stamps two or three times, and there is soon to be anotner cnange in them. The last effort iu postage stamps certainly suggest an ex- periment in that direction. Ex- periments are cheap, of coarse. - ... , A German writer says a young girlj3 a fishing rod.

It says: Ily some means or other wc overlooKed last week the doings of the late shepherd ol tne Uerman .Lutheran Uhurcn in tins city, the Rev. Charles F. Blane. It will be remembered that he figured very un- pleasantly in court a month or so since, although acquainted of the charge then brought against him. Recent events, tend to show, however, that he wasn't any too good to have been guilty thereof. Early last week he suddenly disappeared uuder the cover of night, and reports as to the cause, slate that he had endeavor- ed to lead astray a young lady member of his congregation, at whose marriage he had recently participated; and even went to l'er ag to ay that her hnsband couid be got rid of. if she so desired; cre- ating the impression that this wr.s to be done by cctn passing his death. His ac- tions were teported to the lady's husband and father, and by them to the trustees of the church, who at once suspended him from his functions as minister until other proceedings were had.

Parrett, has disgrac- ed his profession by giving way to the pleasures of the world. It says, Parrett essayed to be a preacher, beeame to familiar with the sisters, and for reasons of a peculiarly private nature, he was forced to relinquish." So we go. Iet us pray. Don't Shrivel Up.

The States are Free to Act, Pro. vided tney Act witn tne Haaicais The Chicago Republican indulges in H this declamation about the Fifteenth A- - mendment: "No mandatory imposition has been made upon any State, as regards tors matter. Jach and all are free to c, for or against, excepting only the unre- constructed Slates, and even they are free to reieot, provided they are williae take the consequences of ezolnslon from the Union. The Radical idea that the Southern Stated are free to act for or against ne gro suffrage, provided if tfiey reject it they must take tho consequence oi being excluded from tho Union, is on a part with the freedom proposed by a French Colonel, when the army was callei upon to vote whether "Bonaparte" should be First Conso! of France for life, or not. "You are perfectly free to vote as you please, for this election ia to be s free one. ' But, said the C olonel, 'mark me, my men, he who does vote not for the General being First Consul for life, will, within five minutes after his vote is cast, be shot, for mutiny at the head of the regiment. The vote of that regi ment was just ax unanimous for "Bona parte," as the Southern Sia es, held un. der Radical subjection, will be for Ne- gro Suffrage.

The children of Mr. Higgins, in order to expedite a fire in the stove, did what they had seen their eldars do pour kerosene upon the coals. In stantly an explosion ensued. The baby lived half an hour after it The oldest boy died the same night. Only one of the children is likely to recover. One always experiences a desire, after re counting a story like this, to point a moral, and to utter words of warning; but really, kerosene accidents are getting to be o common; that we have come to the conclusiou that people, rath er fhan otherwise, enjoy them, and positively in love with burn- ing and blowing up.

Our Washington Letter.CORRESPONDENCE OF THE

DEMOCRAT.WASHINGTON CITY, D.C.,

February 4. 1870.

It seems impossible for ato pass without some resolutionbeing offered in Congress to curbthe terrible propensities of theSouth to kill, murder, brim, desstroy and do all manner of heinous and nefarious things againstloyal citizens who have dared allmauuer of hardships to give thelight of their presence and thew a,

great benefit of their associationto that most diabolically wickedand awful section of our country.Seuator Abbott, of North CaiOilina, yesterday introduced a biH

in the Senate to provide againstthe "frequent violations of publicpeace in various Southern locali-

ties," and to "report what legislation is required, and especiallyto iuquu-- c into the constitutionality aud expediency of establishing a national police force forthe better enforcement of law."This resolution was refered tothe appropriate committee, audwill probably come up again after awhile iu some shape or oth-

er. This resolution is the fifteenthousandeth nine h unci ret h andninety-nint- h of its kind, and Ican safely assert without fear ofsuccessful contradiction, that thenumber will be increased by a

little over one hundred thousandbefore the end of tho party inpower. a do not oojecr. torasnumber of their resolutions, butI do object to the constant harp-

ing on one string, the lack of originality in the language andspirit of all these resolutions,"One smell ofa nigger" on a hoiday may not be unsupporiable.but five thousand sniffs are morethan a white man can bear. Butthese are inflictions which wemust bear for awhile. PerhapsPaovideuce will come to our rescue bv and bv. The sudden- - r

duction of the tores of mechanicsemployed in the various navyyards of the country has awaken-

ed great and unexpected trouble,and the Senate was engaged yes-

terday in taking up a bill author-izing the Secretary of Navy tocontinue these mechanics in employ. There can be no doubtthat the electioneering "dodge'of turning s on theground of retrenchment was

unquestionably a stupendousblunder, and the Radicals seethis very clearly. "It is but oneof the couutless blonder whichthe party has made within thepast year, and which will inevitably destroy it.

In the House another effortwas made Dv Jar. Cimom tobring up the Mormon difficulty.He reported a bill in aid of theexecution of the laws in the Territory of Utah. It was re committed. One of itB sections provides that ail perBOnB are incom-petent as grand r petit jurorswho believe in, advocate, or pracfcice bigamy, concubinage or polygamy: Any man who shallive or cohabit with one woman

or more, other than his lawfulwife, as his wife or Wives, shallbe adjudged guilty of the crimeiof concubinage, and on conviction thereof, shall. . be pueished

jr ; I

by a fine uot eaceeoHugoae inozi- -

sandilo'-larB-, imprisonment in thejQfPenitentiary at hard labor sotmore than fivo years. The balance of the bill provide great andsevere penalties upon all whohall in any sense against the

spirit of the oiil. The Mormoninrlica rfalt Lake Citv. a few

.w I

.ys sinse, declared theyfully in favor of polygamy, audrepudiated a M the sympathy fortheir "misior tunes' inveighed a-- ,

gainst all the charges of immor-- j

ahty, &c, which have been hunsed. against their favorae institu-tion which is right? Shall theladies who it is to be presumed.are fully acquainted with all thebeauties ol this institution be in-

dulged in their Wishes or shallMaseachosatts provail againstthem ? We wonder if enag hashad any effect in inducing New.England men and .women to'pitch into" the privileges of

Radical Retrenchment!Mr. Dawes, a Radical member

of Congress from Massachusetts,said in a speech in the House ofBepi esentatives, that the Ad.

dayjixiiuistratton of Gen. Grant wasspending forty millions of dollarsa year more tban that of AndrewJohnson! Yet, Radical partyleatleis and presses, tell the tax-

payers wonderful stories aboutthe ecouomy of Grant's Administration and the fabulous reduc-

tion of the public debt. Now,reader, remember that Mr. Dawesis a Republican member of Con-

gress and bear in mind also thatnone ,of the Republican paperB

lof this country will publish thespeech of Mr. Dawes. This econ-

omical Administration of Grantis only a andig forty millions ofdollars a year more tban that ofAndrew Johnson, which Radical politicians said was the mostextravagant ever had in thiscountry. How do the peoplelike Radical . Economv andGrant's Reform !

Radical administrations areniost thoroughly infused wifhthe spirit of experiment. Theyhave made no less tban fifteendifferent changes in the moneyof the country Bince they camein power, in 1861. They havealso changed the postage stampstwo or three times, and there issoon to be anotner cnange inthem. The last effort iu postagestamps certainly suggest an ex-

periment in that direction. Ex-

periments are cheap, of coarse.- ... ,

The Radical idea that the SouthernStated are free to act for or against negro suffrage, provided if tfiey reject itthey must take tho consequence oi beingexcluded from tho Union, is on a partwith the freedom proposed by a FrenchColonel, when the army was callei uponto vote whether "Bonaparte" should beFirst Conso! of France for life, or not."You are perfectly free to vote as youplease, for this election ia to be s freeone. ' But, said the C olonel, 'markme, my men, he who does vote not forthe General being First Consul for life,will, within five minutes after his vote iscast, be shot, for mutiny at the head ofthe regiment. The vote of that regiment was just ax unanimous for "Bonaparte," as the Southern Sia es, held un.der Radical subjection, will be for Ne-

gro Suffrage. But elections carried onunder a threat, are not regarded by ourcourts as entitled to much, weight.
