NEGRO TROOPS IN TIE SoUTH.-The Louisville
Journal calls loudly for the removal of negro
troops from the South. and says:
The atrocious murder Of a police officer on
Friday night by drunken negro soldiers in this
city. seconds the appeal we put forth on Saturday
for the removal of all negro soldiers from this city
and State, and the Southern States, and pleads
more powerfully in favor off the measure than any
words Of ours possibly could. Win not the gov
eminent give its immediate attention TO this sub
jectg The President may rest assured that there
is no division of sentiment in this State or in any
Southern State in reference TO this matter"
IL was but a few days since that murder BY ne
gro soldiers took place AZ Jeffersonvlle on the OPP
posite Size of the river. Indeed. il was that muir
der that called forth remarks Of Saturday:
and the ink was hardly dry before we were called
upon TO chronicle similar deed Of blood in Louis
vile.
Every few days we hear of some such murder
and the time has como, il seems 10 US, when the
President should remove these black soldiers from
ali the Southern States.
Every day they remained they are sources Of ir-
ritation and the frequent cause Of crime. Their
presence is certainly no longer necessary now. If
IL ever was, but terrible nuisance. and We may
say adownright curse. 1t is highly prejudicial to
must have soldiers stationed in the South, in God s
name and IN the name Of peace and the Union, On
patriotism and common sense, let rs have white
ones.
Gen. Grant has recommended the measure We
advocate. and we don't suppose that be will be
deemed preiudiced shout the matter. The fact Is.
the reasons for the removal Of negro troops are
most eogent. and 80 evident rs scarcely 10 need

We respectfully but strongly appeal to the Pres
ident to give effect TO the Lieutenant-;enerais
Recommendation"

OTHER RENCoUNTRE BETWEEN WHITE AND NEGRO

that the antagonism existing between them is still
unabated, in fact, if anything, on the increase.

FIENDIsH 0UrRAGE.-The Chattanooga Gazette
Of the 3lst altimo contains the following account
of terrible wrongs inflicted by negroes the fam
lily Of an old gentleman, named Antipas Moore,
residing about two and half miles from Chatta-
nooga:
day squad of negroes, either soldiers dressed
such, visited the house of Mr., Moore and de-
manded admittance The inmates refused to open
the door, when the rufhans attempted to force it
open. Nor some reason or other, Mr.. n. q. Moore,
a son of Mr.. Thomas f. made his escape into the
woods, the scoundrels firing at him he ran.
The fends then succeeded in breaking open the
door, and entered, when they demanded money,
and their exaetions not being complied with they
knocked down the old gentleman and threw him
out of DOORS and beat him severely that he could
no longer make any resistance. They placed
guard over him and re entered the house, when
nation as to the whereabouts of her hus-
bands money-they had already taken all
that he had in his pocket--which she persis-
tently refused to give. They then knocked
her down. beat her, and several of the indescrba-
bly, diabolical wretches violated the old ladys
person. They also Treated in the same mgnner her
grand-child, who is not over ten years Of age. AT
ter helping themselves 10 what they desired, they
left the terribly abused and outraged family. No
traces have as yet been found which may lead to
their discovery.
Several officers in the city DO not believe that
these parties were soldiers. Last night the whole
country was being patroled to discover those who
may be prowling round.
1t is due to truth to say that the military are
doing all they to catch the parties that visited

gained access to the passage corridor, where
they remained until about half past eight o'clock
when Mr.. Boyd, the jailor, and one of the guards
went up 10 see that all was right. 10 sooner did
Mr.. Boyd open and step through the wooden door
at the end Of the passage, than he was seized by
one of the prisoners and thrown backward, then
rushing past the guard, down stairs, they tried to
make their egress through the doors. but found
them locked. In the meantime the guard was
pouring shot after shot into them from his revolt

onslaught upon the window sash with chairs, and
thus succeeded in gaining an outlet. By this time
many persons in the immediate neighborhood, at
tracted TO the spot by the outcry, Joined in the
pursuit to recapture them, and so vigorous were
their efforts that all were recaptured save one-J.

prisoners, VIM. NJ. Nelson, lately engaged in the
killing of keyes and Conley, was so badly woun-
ded in the melee by the guard. while endeavoring
to make bis escape, that he died in about fifteen
minutes after being captured, with his chain still
wrapped round him. No blame Is attached to the
guard, as he simply did his duty.
There were several prisoners who refused to

manned in their cells. The colOred woman who
caused the mischief was ironed and deserves the

NJ The editor of the Portage Democrat
pirates most necessarily in his usual splenetie-
81 style, about the CHRONICLE opening its
columns to ISLANDERS and Misrepresentation
of General Garfield" and denounces this pa
per as q "disorganizer," &c. To these &C.
cusations we reply in brief, that not one word
of ISLANDER has been uttered against Gen.
Garfield. Only by perversion and distortion
can the prejudiced editor of the Democrat
construe the language of our correspondents
into an abusive character. If appeals to,
and comments upon, the record of a public
mana record that is part of the legislative
history of the country-constitute SANDER
then it is probable the Democrat defines SIAN
der according to the principles ofan old libel
law in a certain State, which was, ''the great
er the truth, the greater the libel" But
the fact is that while we believe the people
have the unquestionable right to thoroughly
investigate and fully and freely discuss the
public acts Of q candidate for their SURFACES,
the Democrat ignores that principle, and
with g blind subserViency and ~sycophantic
fattery thst must certainly disgust the good
taste of the gentleman whom it is intended
to compliment, pours out its coarse abuse on
all who have the Independence TO manage
their own business in their own way. The
cause of the Democrats enTenomed attacks
on the Chronicle is undoubtedly this, that we
gave ofense in allowing q correspondent, a
few weeks since, to sharply crlticise the po.
litical conduct of the editor of that paper.
BE yet continues TO writhe and agonize n
der the fsggellation. Had we supposed our
correspondent to have had such q singing
rod in pickle for the irascible editor of the
Democrat. our natural dislike to animal suf-
fering might have caused US 10 have inter-
fered. But since the chastising arm has
done its work, we are disposed to think that
if It was not deserved in that particular case,
it was probably due On general account.
