THE SOUTHERN STATES.

The news from New Orleans receiv ed by cable
during the week is that list Saturday, a riot, caused
by political differences, occurred between the whites
and the blacks, when nine persons were killed and
several others wounded. On the following day
another riot occurred at St. Bernard's parish, near
New Orleans, and ten persons were killed ; great
excitement prevailed in the city, and military pa-
trolled the streets. But on Monday more rioting
took place, when martial law was proclaimed, and
the telegram ends by stating that the Bayou
negroes were terrified. The fact is that a reign of
terror prevails, or will prevail, if not checked by
prompt steps. With that singular facility in blun-
dering, the Philadelphia correspondent, who fur-
nishes this intelligence, thus writes in the same
issue-in which two of his telegrams appeared :
" In the South since the elections there has been a
sud len cess ition of outrag s.' As the greater part
of the bloody tales of Southern barbarism were
manufactured for Northern consumption before the
October elections the business has ceased, there
being no longer any use for it." We may add en
passant that the Times has a strange aptitude for
being right on American topics. It is now shown
that the negroes were killed at Landry's in the riot
formerly reported in as lawless and inexcusable a
manner as at Camilla ; but no steps have been
taken to punish their slayers. lu an article of the
Nation on negro tactics at the South the following
remarks occur : —" Now, the negroes are certainly
in every State but three in a minority, and for all
practical political purposes in a small minority. It
is safe to say they can never hope to win a victory
at the polls in any Southern State, after the
next year or two, by the negro vote alone.
Not only are they in a minority, too, but
they are in a minority composed of a de-
tested and despised race ; and they are poor, un-
influential, and without political experience. With
the whole body of the whites, or even a large pro-
portion of the whites, arrayed against them, their
position is probably more unfortunate than that of
any class of p n.sans in any civilised state in the
world—a great deal more unfortunate, we have no
hesitation in s tying, than. that of the Turkish
rayabs, over whose condition all Europe is con-
stantly lamenting. We know very well that there
is a school of politicians, of which Wendell Phillips
might with some modification be taken as the type,
which believes that by some tremendous crushing
process all this white hate and prejudice against the
blacks would be ground out; but these gentlemen
are readier with vituperation than with plans, and
they have never yet given to the world their scheme
in detail. Suffice it to say, that to make the negro
safe and comfortable by force alone would require
au army of 300,000 men, the complete suspension
of his political education, and the substitution of
mlitary for civil government over one-half the
continent for an indefinite period. The expediency
or possibility of this we shall not discuss, although
we would have welcomed such a prolongation of the
-existing military rule as would have helped to
break up the Southern habits of violence and the
habit of looking on the negro as a wild animal."
The report of the Bureau-officers detailed to'
investigate the Camilla affair has been published
by G-..neral Howard. It agrees substantially with
what has already been stated. Gee. Meade and Go-
vernor Bullock are working earnestly to prevent a re-
petition of such an oatrage, the former ,having dis-
tributed his troops where they will be most avail-
able, while the latter has charged the citizens to
preserve order and peace, to see that all are secured
in their rights. The House Committee of the
Louisiana Ll;islature has reported upon the regis-
tration troubles there, finding that the registration
boards have exceeded their authority, and recom-
mending a change in the law, as well as the nulli-
fication of the doings of the Central Registration
Board. The registration offices are all to be re-
opened, and notwithstanding the
veryobstacles hithertouhu

Quincy Adams has reached South Carolina, and is

Democratic principles which have a strange twang
of Radicalism in the ears of his Southern hearers.
They perhaps attribute his doctrine to his Puritan
birth and breeding, and will be confirmed in the
impression that nothing good can come out of New
England. The " young man by the name of
Adams," as the '1 r ib tie calls him, in a speech on
the lfith instant, said that Wade Hampton was no
more a rebel than himself. Ills speech at Columbia
wa:, we understand, a fine efforz of oratory, and is
said to be remarkable for telling plain truths in a
manner singularly like his grandfather ; he summed
up the points demanded by the North as follows :
" The North is determined, as I believe, to retain
and establish, as the legitimate results of the war,
these general positions, with all the logical conse-
quences necessary for their convenient enjoyment ;
first, the utter renunciation of the doctrine of secs-
sion ; second, the entire extirpation of slavery and
all its family; third, a fair and unhampered career

for the freedmen ; fourth, the equal right of every
citizen of the United States to travel, speak, and live
in any State so long as he did not infringe the rights
of o'thers." Fears were entertained by Governorflol
den and Gen. Mills that arms were being imported
into North Carolina for the use of the Democrats.
Those deposited at 11emphis have met,with a fate
teat might haVe been anticipated. They were
shipped in the steamer llesper, and consigned to
Governor Clayton for the use of the State militia'

they cut loose from the bank and threw the ar'ns

of the Republicans. According to Messrs. Wright's
