A CoNTEMPTIBLE BUSINESS. - The
Nashville Press and Times, in publish
ing the official contradiction of the
reported insurrectionary movements
among the negroes Of Northern Louis
lana, says:
"No intelligent, uuprejudiced person
ever believed the rumors OF negro In
eurrection plot, set ahoat by Southern
newspapers, edited by men who are
rabid with negro hatred. It was plainly
devilish calumny, forged to furnish a
pretext for numbering some negroes,
and putting the remainder of the panic
stricken, despairing creatures under 9
police system more oppressive than
slavery We have the personal testi-
rnony of many intelligent Southern gen.
tlemen, who were implicated in the re-
bellion, that the negroes have every
where throughout the South shown an
orderly, law-abiding disposition, the far
ihest possible from riotous conduct. Yet
F" Democratic" journals will still circu
late reports of negro plots, paying no
attention 10 the official contradiction
from General Canby's headquarters.
They will still stick to the lie, although
SO positively refnted, and inAame the
minds of ignorant white men with the
prepcsterous accusation after the official
denial is forgotten" u
The Democratic press, both North
and South, is doing more to stir mp
negro insurreetions than all the negroes
in The Union are capable Of doing.
