There You So!


There You Go!
Radical presses are raving over the Mo
bile Riot, in which four White men and one
Black man are said to have been killed. Il
don't admit of extenuation; but it doe:
not follow that because a riot was gotten
up by Rowdies, Negroes and Radicals, thai
1.-The whole people of the, South are to be
loutlawed.3 One plea set up in justification
\ LOT dismantling the State Governments o.
ten States South, and cutting them up into
five Districts to be ruled by the military
was that life and property were insecure
that further protection, in the shape o.
military rule, was needed absolutely. Soon
after the Military Reconstruction bill was
passed, it was pointed to with triumph
ant air by Republican partisans, that it had
fully met the requirement. This affair al
Mobile shows that it has done nothing of the
kind. 1t shows, furthermore, that rowdies
are not at all times to be intimidated by
the threat of employing the military
against them. We shall expect to see
abatement in the wrath of the Republican
Journals that are all wrath over the affair
now, when they come to see that the Whites
suffered as four to one to the Blacks
Little indignationhave they to express over
the negro riot that occurred in the city OF
Richmond a few nights ago. -
1t is remarkable that Judge KELLEY and
ESenator WILSON have succeeded thus far
in their work Of incendiarism in the South
without setting the passions ablaze save in
Mobile. 1t tesJt1es 10 great consideration
and great torbearance on the part of the
Whites; and we hope they will continue to
exercise this consideration and for
bearance. POLLARD, by military author
| ity, is forbidden to lecture on "the
Echivalry of the South" under the alleged
apprehension that it would fan anew the
embers of strife, instead of extingulshing
them. Why was not the same interdiction
put upon Senator WILSON and Judge KEEL
LEY? Their mission is not to bring about
love for one another among the Whites
and Blacks. As Judge KELLEY's New Or
leans speech is published, and represented
as tuned to the dulcet strains of love, the
following from it will give the reader an
idea of its character: ,.-., .,,l..-..s.
"In so far, history will hold the North
| especially the Democratic party there-re-
! spOnsible for the war. -ss7-..
- Still the million of graves, filled by the
best and bravest of both sections, are
chargeable to the South. ** y My
| white fellow-citizens, let me say to you that
| you are charged with duty grander than
| is often confided to a generation of men,
You are to unite with those whom through
lite You have been taught to despise as-an
lana in harmony soith the great Republican
party Of the North" =
With these pestilential agitators-these
fomentors of riots and mobs-its the " Re-
publican party and nothing else. The
peace, concord, tranquility and prosperity
of the country are nothing. Having de-
creed that there must be Negro suffrage in
the South, it is not sufficient for the Re-
publican partisans that the Whites and
Blacks in the South should be left to them
selves and see whether they can not get
along together amicably. Fearing that the
Whites and Blacks might come to an un-
derstanding among thems elves that would
not be satisfactory to the Republicans in a
party sense, Senator WILSON and Judge
KELLEY posted off on a tour through the
South to build up a Republican party, and
in doing so they have undertaken to en-
bitter the Whites and the Blacks. If mil
itary rule is to be impartial in the South,
let these agitators be silenced.
WHEw! but the Toledo Blade raves over
the release of JEFF. DAVIS and HORACE
GREELEY becoming his boudsman. HoR-
ACE seems evidently to have the same idea
that the Journal here has, and that is by
going into Court there was danger that our
lGoyernment would be worsted, and it was
to save the Republican party that humilia-
ton that HORACE interested himself in
bringing about the release of DAVIS.
] JEFF. DAVIS was liberated in Richmond
on Monday. The Mobile traitors conspire
to kill Judge Kelley on Tuesday. He who
lruns may read the moral. Leniency to
traitors is premium upon treason.-C2eUe-
land Leader.
Then it was because "JEFF. DAVIS was
liberated at Richmond on Monday" that a
Iconspiracy was set on foot at Mobile on
Tuesday to kill Judge KELLEY, was it?
THE Cleveland Herald calls Judge UNDER
WOOD judicial burlesque." -t
/ Well, he amt anything else; but then
he is a Republican, and come to think of il
he's about as good as the generality OF Re-
publican officials. They are pretty much
all burlesques.
THE Sandusky Register (RadicaD is very
mad that JEFF. DAVIS is released. II
should be madden that Chief Justice CHASE
did not consent to try him long ago. II
lthe Chief Justice is afraid to try him, lest,
as the Columbus Morning Journal intimates,
the trial is likely to result to the disad-
vantage of the Government, what good is
to accrue from the indefinite Imprisonment
of Mr.. DAVIS? The Register fears, or
rather &c shall not be surprised to hear that
he has, within the next thirty days, COM
| menced suit against some Government Of
