The death of Sir Frederick Rruce, in view of the present relations between tho United States and the government of Great Britain, is looKCil upon as a serious eauimuy.

The Times special says As an indication of the president's latest temper on the situation of reconstruction affairs, Avitnessjhe following abstract of his views recently expressed in conversation with certain politicians, iio rilled upon him for the purpose of urginu' him to rc-open registration in the south, liti informed them that he could not do so without iumrring certain risk of impeachment; and admitted that tho reconstruction acts confer on clist riot commanders the solo control over registration.

His only power of Interference Avas the remoA'ul of commanders Avhen they failed to execute the Iiiavs in accordance with his views of their legal construction, lie admitted that district commanders Avere acting under direct authority from congress in the performance of a civil duty, and if he should attempt to assume power as coinniander-in-chief to control the time of registration ami holding they would have the right to refuse to obey his orders, and would not be amenable to punishment for military insubordination if they did so. lie stated that the recent promulgation of tho amnesty proclamation threw upon congress the responsibility for depriving legally qualified voters from registering and voting, and he hoped the southern people would appreciate it in that "If any pardoned persons," he continued, "attempt to register and are refused, tho courts are open to them, and they can compel tho military to allow them to register. If they do not do so," he concluded, "the fault of disfranchisement Avill lie with congress," as he claimed ho has done all he could to re- store them to their right. MAUCHE3TER.

A complete revolutiou iu the views of the parties upon the prospect and effect of tho reconstruction act, so far as they apply to the powers and duties of the General of tho Armies, has been worked within the past Ht hours. Heretofore the opinion prevailed that General Crant had full powers over all matters provided for in tho acts of Congress, but upon a close reading it is now discovered that General Grant's authority only extends removals of officers, and that district commanders have full and absolute power in all matters of registration, elections, etc. Such is now conceded to be the proper construction of the laws, and Gen. Grant, it is understood, ha but very recently discovered that he has misapprehended tho naturn of his last letter to the Presided Avith reference to the. removal of General Sheridan and relieving Gcueral llaucock.

GST The Editor of thla paper i now tourlued lohia bed, from a severe and sudden attack of sickneis, but will be at Ids post again in a few days avo hope. Any business connected with tha office will be atteuded to by JoJi.t Whetler, who can bo found at the office at all times. Tliat Con vention which was to have been held ou Saturday last, at Greeuwood, by the loyal rads, did not take place as iutended, although there was a large number of delegates, black and white, that went vut from this place, early on Saturday AVe have heard several versions of tbo afluir, but one thing is certain, tho bastards got the inside track, and, it id pretended by some, that there was a reconciliation be-tween the two wings. But from" the tone of the Standard, the organ of the bastards, there ia no agreement, and Ave perceive, from whul little Ave an 6ce, there is no good feeling between the two parties but a great deal of bitterness. We will wait fur-developments.

IN A NUT SHELL. One of the primipal reasons for the reaction if not the principal in politics, ia that tho ore iu favor of tho government issuing to bond holders who are not taxed, and who are drawing interest ou these bonds legal tender notes for the face of the bonds they hold, which Avill t-top the interest, ami give thein, the rich, tho same kind of money the poor farmer, mechanic and laborer have to take. To reduce nil taxes, and dismiss all revenuo oflicars. To reduce the tariff on all Imported articles needed by the Avorking of the country. The Radicals are for a high tariff- naviner interest to bond holders and -a not tax their bonds, and in favor of taxing cotton the farmer's labor of tho south protecting the wool growers of tho north continuing tho internal revenue tux giving negroes the indiscriminate right of suffrage and right to hold office, and social equality.

A load that will break down any party, that has an existence in a free govemmeut. Notwithstanding that the Radical party supports such a course, there is plenty of laboring men, in this state-farmers and mechanics that will support this party. When will these people get their eyes open to their true interests. Front lis Indiuu Country-Attempt to Hub Store Two Men Shot. We learn from a letter received this week, that on the night cf tho Slst of August last, an attempt was made at Scales ville, Creek Nation, on the road leading from Kansas to Texae, to rob the store of Harlan Davis.

appear thatilr. Davis and a young man by the name of MoAlU-ter, son cf JudjQ McAlister, of this county, were sleeping on the porch in front of tho fetore, and several shots Avere fired at them, tAvo of the shots struck Mr. Davis, Avounding him in the arm and in the thigh, and one Ft ruck ilr. McAlister in the Ceshy part of the hand. The robbers finding that they had not succeeded in killing Mr.

D. and Mr. made their escape. Wc also, that it is hardly safe now to travel the road from Kansas to Texas, on account of robbers. They are robbing travelers and drovers constantly.

The Memphis Appeal. We take pleasure ia directing tho attention of onr readers to tho circular advertisement of this sterling paper, to be found in another column of this paper. Any of our friends desiring to subscribe for a live newspaper, could not da bolter than subscribe for the Appeal, The reputation of the Editor-in-Chief, Hon. Albert Pike, is too well knoAvn to need any commendation from ua. We consider it one of the ablest exchanges that comes to our table.

It is dealing out deathblows to Radicalism and corruption, and those who desiro to escape its scathing denunciations, had better keep their "bands off." I ssmm We Take all Back. If we have said anything against any of the good citizens of Van Bureu, ia any way whatever, we take it all back. We will take back what we said about John Cunningham booting Dunham of the Jrets, at McKce Co's. store, sometime ago, if Dunham will bring the boots back. We've, got nothin agin ro one ins Van Buren, so they need not come over hereafter us, paying ferriage, We're gittin old can't run.

Negroes out for Congress, In our paper of to-day will be fonnd an address of a Mr. Fickling, negro, to the people of Georgia, who is a candidate for Congres in that State. Here is an example of the practical working of negro suffrage. It is estimated that 8000 of the business men of Nevr York live iu the neighboring towns, and enter and leave the city daily by the car.
