The herald and n View Orleans
Massacre.


The Cleveland Herald is reconsidering
even the mild and moderate condemna-
ton which it at first passed upon the New
Orleans riots. It now talks in this way
about that fearful massacre Of Union men,
white and black, by rebels:
Eve are now receiving the newspaper
versions of the late riot IN New Orleans.
In the war of races-ior that is it when an
aiyzed-prejuaiee so colOrs statements that
a correct judgment carnot be formed for II
we would believe the negro phobiss no enc
was in fault but the AbOliuonist and the
negro. In this case as in Memphis, there
wa $ blame on both sides. The excuse only
was wanting for the rebel element 20 mani
fest itself in an indiscriminate slaughter OF
the blacks, and the radical element furn-
ished that excuse in making infiammatory
appeals to the negroes, and IN an endeayOr
to revive q defunct convention"
The assertion of the Herald that the
New Orleans massacre is a war 0 fraces'
made with the evident intention Of ex-
citing the sympathies of the whites for
their own races a false one The riot
was not a struggle between whites and
blacks, but between rebels and Union
mea-Or, rather, it was not a struggle at
all but a massacre of unresisting and pow
erless Unionists bya mob Of rebels, backed
by the rebel police of the city. It is in
such a contest as this that the Herald
takes the part Of the rioters, and insists
that there was "blame on both sides and
that the riot was provoked by the radi-
Gals Sin making infammatory appeals to
the negroes and in an endeaTor to revive
a defunct convention" The radicals pro
voked the riot just as the sheep prOvokes
the wolf. In assembling as they did, in
speaking as they did, they only exercised
the right of free speech which our institu-
tons guarantee to every citizen. They
did what rebels have been permitted
again and again to do in the reconstructed
city of New Orleans. But though rebel
speeches and conventions can be tolerated
in Louisiana, Union speeches and conven-
tons are suppressed by Wholesale massa-
ere; and the Herald thinks that the
Union men provoked the riot by attempt
ing to make speeches and hold conven-
tions.
The Herald cOolly concludes with tho
opinion "that blood-red spots viii mark
the scene of many such a slaughter at
the South before society settles down to
acquiescence in the result of the war"
And we suppose that whenever such
slaughter occurs, the Herald will be as
ready as al present to gloss over the out
rage, and to prove that "there was blame
on both Sides

The kentucky Elec,ton.

The returns from the election in Ken.
lucky are scattering and imperfect, a:
they always are in that and in other
Southern states, where telegraph lines are
comparatively unknown. As far as re.
ceived, however, they show an unbroken
majority for Duval, the Confederate n
didate, who is probably elected. His
majority will not be as sweeping as these
first returns indicate, however, as the
strongest Union region in the state-the
mountain district which elected Randall
to Congress last yesr by nearly seven
thousand majority-has not yet been heard
from. We have little doubt, however
but that the Confederates have carried the
State.
Last year the contest was q close one
The election was for State Treasurer, and
the result was; Union, 42,os2; Democra-
tic, 42,ls7; Democratic majority, los.
This year Bramlette, Prentiss, Rousseau,
and all the Conservatives united with the
Uniouists in supporting the Union eandi-
date, General Hobson. The Confederate
Democracy, aided by Ohio orators like Val
la~ndighan an{ Pendleton, supported
DuvaL. It was a square fight between.
Federals and Conlederates. Room was
given for a full and frank expression OF
political preference. There was no mill
tary interference. The result has been
the triumph of the Confederate cause.
Hail, reconstructed Kentucky!

Gov. Cox and the COIvin murder

Governor Cox has refused to commute
the sentence of Alexander Mcconnell,
found guilty in a full and fair trial of the
murder of Rosa Colvin. His action,
though of course painful, viii receive the
general c~ommendation of our citizens as
just and necessary. This, an ers of blood
shed, when, as q sad result of war, life is
held cheaply, is no time to slacken the
penalty for taking life. 1t is rather a pc
Rod when it becomes necessary to show
by infexible rigor in executing the pen
atty for murder, the horror Of man and
God at that fearful crime, and the swift
punishment that follows it.
So much for general principles. As
far as this individual case is concerned,
We think the full sentence of the
law doubly needed aad doubly de-
served. If there is in the facts
concerning the murder of Ross Colvin
any justification for clemency, we eannot
imagine a case in which elemency should
not be exercised. That murder was more
brutal and disgusting-if possible it was
also more criminal-thanth the other woman
murder for whicha criminalu justly suffered
the extreme penalty of the law in this
city six months ago. If we admit the
truth of McConnelrs own confession-a
confession made for the express purpose of
procuring apardon-the murder was a de-
liberate one, and prompted by the lowest
possible of motives-the desire for IN
lawful gain. Taking the facts as stated
by him it was quite possible for him to
escape from the woman who had detected
him in his'crime, had he desired that alone,
without killing her. But he had made
up his mind to the robbery, and he car
ried it out un~Ainchingly, even when it in
volved murder. That he deserves the
fate which the law allows him there can
be no doubt that to commute his SEN
tence would be to set 8 dangerous and de-
moralizing precedent we are thoroughly
convinced.

The Times and the Philadelphia Con

The Detroit Post thus grows humorous

mire the %bewildering and rapid style with
which Nj. Raymond cuts, curves, angles,
circles, gyrates, scars, skins, richochets
caroms bounds and sloshes around, like a
boomerang sent into a tree by a New
Zeal, and native, in a frantic endeavor to
bring down at one shot an entire flock of
those singular birds called Laughing
jackasses,. each perched upon a different
twig. If the feat was possible he would
accomplish it. And if he fails, everybody
viii acknowledge that, at least, it was a
marvellous throw. If a boomerang could
sweat we should expect the conclusion
would be an exhausted boomerang stuck
into the ground in a profuse perspirstion,
with the whole flock Of laughing Jack
asses in the tres above it shrieking with
uncouth laughter over its frantic discom-
future, and the wild kangaroos of the bush
smelling at its upper end in derision.

One fell near the noted millinery shor
of Madame Sophie, a few doors below BE
| locks bookstore. A gentleman, SO far as
| clothes go,snd general demeanor-stepped
out from the sidewalk, and devoted a min
ute or two to vigorously licking the dead
body. A bystander made some expression
of horror and disgust. when q policeman
turned sharp on him with, HAre you one
of them, say ?" He protested that he was
not. "He lies" exclaimed another, "He's
a Yankee soldier! The luckless person
protested that he was not; the policeman
tiercely questioned him, and at last allow
ed him to escape on the express ground
that he guessed he wasn't q Federal SOL

and hearing of at least n late General of
our army, who stood on an adjacent upper
verandah.

were artillery, cavalry, and black and

expectedly prolonged absence of General
Sheridan in Texas, he was in supreme
command. But he was not merelya Gen
eral of Volunteers. He was one of the
highest officers in the Freedmen's Bureau.
His uniform made it his duty to maintain
order; but his special position made it his
special duty TO see that the freedmen IN
