Saaeay Morning. December 18.1870. Tb? GatUorlng fltorm. "Ke observant man can mistake the Signa. ot 'fae gathering storm of the po? litical skies. Tb* cicrds and the muf . i&ofl tfhunder foretell the power and mag? nitude of the tempest that is to wreck many who have braved the winds of popular opinion. There is no peace-no rest-in the condition of pnblic affairs. President Grant has madly, or stupidly, 4tjtrutf>od bin?lol f to tho gnidanoe of tho moat "blind and ' malignant men-men whose history shows that thoy have fat? tened on the piejadices and rancors of the times,; and whose only hope of being ?onttuued in offioo is in the promotion .of the scotional passions,' fanning the flames of fanaticism, aud keeping alive the bitter pr?judices engendered by the <irar. Even the President's message is atado the instrument of this atrocious parp?se. Almost its first paragraph es ?ays to dignify the slander of the South? ern States put forth by the lowest and most dishonest of the Radicals-that the freedman is obstructed in tho exercise of his right to vote. Tho President's at? tempt, or the attempt of some one for bim, to fire tho Northern public against the South, must fail. A falsehood does noot grow respectable by getting iuto a high place, but, on the other hand, be -somes all the moro monstrous when be? held so impudently displayed. General Butler, who is now, if "bottled up," -'bottled up" along with General Grunt, ?seconds tho President in bis effort to in? flict injury and humiliation with bis am? nesty bill, than which no moro insulting proposition was ever made under the disguise of ciernen oy to a people. Yes, says the Richmond Dispatch, it is all the time the same thing. To bumiliate.tbe .South, and to make her people distrusted ?ia ?very way, is tho policy of the|ultra fiadicals, who have gotten control ol .General Grant. They have promised from time to time to give up this policy "au cooa as it could be done safely"-i, e., ?s soon as it could be done with safety io the Republican party. But every year they fail to see that Republicanism ?M safe, and so they can't change theil policy. The Southern people must be ?ever convicted of cruelty to negroes. The negro is the petted ape carried about ?by the Government, and which will, a; in the fable, be at last dropped fatally apon the rocks and left to perish bj those who have never used him out ol any true feeling of sympathy for him, but only for their own selfish and do ?estable partisan ends.' In this policy Genoral Grant goee hack npon himself-abandons his liberal wiews and schemes developed in his pro? tection of Leo and his followers from that jackal Judge Underwood, and hit plan of the restoration of Virginia. Ht hod the people with him in these, foi they were really in the line of peace an<j restoration of tho country. But, os ht goes back on hi3 own policy, tho people will go against him. He instructed hi; favorites in Missouri to stand up against his Virginia policy; but the people scouted his instructions, and maintained that policy. And so is tho carly Grant policy-developed under the wiso coun? sels of Schofield and Rawlins, and en? couraged by General Sherman-adherec? to by tho best and most powerful com munition in the Union. They think that "let us havo peaco" is a mockery, unless there is something done honestly And sincorely designed to produce har? mony, and banish sectional discord anc -distrust from the public counsels anc the nation. So we see how peoplo an dropping off from tho war party anc .expressing their hostility to further pe ?nullica and vindictive policies. Thi "new movement" in Virginia, originally favored by Grant, has swept over tin country. It Was a movement in favor o peaco, equality and justice, in all publii administration, including taxation ane .disbursement-equality in thc burthen And tho benefits of thc Government In every particular tho present admin is ?ration has discardod this liberal ant just policy. Distrust tho South-hon] up burthens upou tho weak-coutiuui the exorbitant taxes-let the capitalist .still suck the blood of tho nation-kee] ont thc interest-bearing notes-non interest-bearing notes would be bette for the people, but not so good fo capitalists-and we must take caro o tho lutter! Now hero is a sum of op .?resaion and wrong-of opposition t< peaco and harmony-that may well en rage the poople. They arc discontented und growing daily more so. The storr is rising and spreading, and will bure -.?pon the incompetent and malignan ollie inls and sweep thom away. Goui men uro combining against tho abuse Ci .power and thc war upon tho peace um dignity of the nation. Whatever the, ?'hoosoIo call themselves, their cause i gnat, and triam ph they mast "Let as," indeed, "have peace." . To (hi Edify of. ita Phosnif. BIB: I havo introduced a bill into tho Legis? latura, tho offcot ot which, if passed, will bo to reviv? the law against usury. Whother the law against usnry is restored or not, does not concern my individual interest; and I have, there? fore, no individual interest to subserve. I introduced the bill to repeal the Act of 1866, upon strong representations made to me, by leading men connected with the manufacturing and agricultural interests of the State. Upon two Doints I desire to be satis? fied: 1st. That the repeal of the laws against usury has induced the flow of one dollar more into the State than would have come without their repeal. 2d. That the best interest of tho people of the State will bo subsorvod by per? mitting the law to stand as it is. I invite from all classes the fullest information upon these points. WARREN D. WILKES. COLUMMA, December 17, 1870. Congressman Bowen publishes the fol? lowing card, relative to tho charge of bigamy: To THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY CHRONI? CLE: The Republican of to-day contained an article, tho purport of which waa to hold mo up beforo the public ns a biga? mist. The charge has not the slightest foundation in fact. Tho hostility und malignity of my political ?enemies in South Carolina, whose corrupt echemos my success as a contestant for a seat in the Forty-Second Congress would mar, are the causes of this infamous oharge. As they shrunk from no outrage, no vio? lation of law, to prevent my being ,de clared elected in the recent election, so now they shrink from no sacrifico of truth, justice or decency, in casting odium upou the name and character of one who may, they think, havo his causo injured by their venomous attacks. The Slur of this eveuiug informs tho public that tho Grand Jury of the Dis? trict have found an indictment against me on this chnrgo. I am informed that this was procured on tho evidenco of a person who has, for a year or two past, been one of a corrupt ring of politicians in South Carolina, and whoso evidence in that State would not weigh a feather in any man's mind. I stand ready to meet and answer this infamous chargo in tho proper place. It is unnecessary to say moro now and hore. It remains to be seen whether this at? tempt to prejudico my character as a man will havo the effect intended upon tho contest I am urging agaiust fraud, perjury and ru align i tv. Respectfully, yours, C. C. BOWEN. "WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 13, 1870. The cactus fence is an institution pe? culiar to Mexico. The variety of the plant used for this purpose is called the ?rgano.

TEXAS.-Unless there is somo chango made iii the law of Texas, there will be no Congressional election held in the State until November, 1872, when it will ho timo tochoo80 members to the Forty third Congress. Tho Radicals find it much easier to hold power in tho South thau obtain it, and hence they abolish or postpone elections whenever such a courge ia practicable. United States troops wero sent to su? perviso tho recent election in Augusta, Ga.
