Brooks AND BURLINGAME.-M Mr.. Brooks
cowardly attempt to screen himself from
the charge of cowardice, by publishing a
lengthy defence of himself has brought out
a full statement Of all the facts from Mr..
Burlingame, and his friend, L. D. Campbell.
We have read it carefully, and pronounce
it the most scathing rebuke ever admins
tered to Congressional bully. 1t will be
to Brooks like a whip of scorpions We
shall be surprised, indeed, if Brooks is not
kicked out Of the society even Of southern
bullies in Washington hereafter.
We see that Brooks and Keitt have both
been reelected. Their constituents having
thus publicly endorsed the act, have made
themselves responsible for it. 1t is not toe
much, therefore, to say that the Democracy
of South Carolina are opposed to Freedom
Of Speech. and in favor of the bludgeon
She is welcome to all the honors acquired
by the cowardly assassins.-Brooks and

HERDERr ACQUITTED - Herbert, the CAL
ifornia gambler who represents the Democ-
racy Of that State in Congress, and who
murdered the. Irish hotel waiter, Heating,
has been acquitted Of all crime by the courts
at Washington, and still holds his seat in
Congress. 1t lis therefore considered no
crime at Washington for Democratic Con-
gressmen to murder Irishmen. Yet all the
Irishmen in the country are expected to
vote the Democratic ticket Of course. The
California papers describe Herbert as des-
perate characteristic companion and ac-
complice Of Cora and Casey, who were re-
Gently hung by the Vigilance Committee OF
San Francisco for the murder Of King. He
was nominated and elected by fraud, and
dare not return to California. The only
offence of Keatlng was showing resentment
when Herbert called him Odd Irish
son Of -" ..,
We are told that it is wrong to charge
Herbert's crime upon the Democracy-that
he is not Democrat; and. if he were, the
Democratic party had nothing to do with
the murder. We reply: Herbert is Dem.
ocrat-Nhs elected as such-has voted with
the party in Congress--has aided in pro-
curing the appointment of his confcderate'
to the government Offices in California; and
after the murder, nearly every Democrat il
Congress voted against investigating thu
matter-thus, as it were, making the Dem
ocracy responsible for the murder. Wha
political legerdemain was used to secure hi
acquittal, we know not; but we have neve
believed he would be punished as he de
served, after we saw the Democratic part,
assuming the crime by voting against al
investigation.
