The frightful results of the workings
of 'smt policy" in the South were
wildly set forth in speech of Mr..
Wilson, of Massachusetts, delivered in
the Senate on the 10Th. He gave the
facts in regard to large number of
murders of freedmen in the various
rebel States, all officially reported
emitting ofcourse the many of which
no official notice has been taken. In
Virginia, Is murders and 1OS burgla-
ries are reported ). in South Carolina,
80 murders and ga outrages; in North
! Carolina, Is murders and Sc outrages !;
in Georgia. 70 murders in Mississippi,
"a murders in Kentucky, 10 murders !;
and in Texas, IA direct murders and
10 cases of MORALLY wounding; max
ing in all since the passage of the Civ
il Rights Bill, 375 murders, and 556
outrages of Union men.-Exchange.
Malicious and wicked calumnies like
these, uttered in high places, are the
nutriment on which the fanaticl SIN
that rules the hour is fed. Similar in
their character, are the reports OF Gen.
Sickles and other military officers in
South Carolina, who recommend as a
remedy for the evils reported, the sub
stitution of martial law, with the view
of becoming the administrators of the
bloody code. Tt is not possible for
the Southern press to correct these
-mistatements where contradictions
would subserve a good purpose. They
do not circulate in Northern commun-
tiles, and if otherwise, they would not
be credited We must be content to
do our duty as ajust and abiding
people, conscious of the integrity of
our course and let time, the slow but
inevitable reformer, do it's work.
