Social Equality Of the Races.

Social equality Of the races at th
South is a thing shocking in tn
. sunlight, but not so very repugnah
l. in the dark, judging from circgm
r stantial evidence. Mr.. H. J. Tur
/, ner, a colored man OF Georgia, il
! replying to the charge Of Mr.. B. H
: Hill Of that State, that the negroes
: are a violent and riotous race, CAV,
e that aristocratic Georgian q signia
cant hint when he said
Il IL this were true, il would SPEAK
badly for our Southern teachers
! who have been educating us fol
over two hundred years, and
: still worse for our white ancestors,
who boast of their intelligence and
gloat over their superiority of race
for, while atleast a third ofus have
as white fathers as Mr.. Hill, more
than half Of as, in some way or 9TH
er have white blood (like his) in
Jour veins aatfali .a 't
A funny incident having the same
moral is narrated by a correspond

| AfeW weeks since some mischiev-
Gus Wag caused to be circulated
through London, Laurel County,
Kentucky, a report thatthe "Radical
revolutionary Congress- had passed
a law empowering and commanding
negro women to prosecute for bas-
tardy, just as white women are al
lowed to do in similar cases. r
This was just before County
Court Day, which is a great day all
over Kentucky. Almost every body
then goes to the Court House, as
very much business is transacted,
and political speeches are delivered
III q canvass is going on. -emo u
County Court Day came in Lon
don, and with it a large influx Of
the yeomanfy of the country who
could be seen in squads here and
there about the Court House yard,
discussing and denouncing the
aforesaid act Of Congress as an I'M
constitutional interference with the
domestic concerns of the State Of
Kentucky, When, lo several ne
gro women were seen vending their
way toward the Court House from
different directions, bearing their
mulatte children in their arms. A
panic. Immediately seized npon the
crowd, or rather the Democratic |
portion of it, and in less time than
1t takes to write this, hundred
Democrats had mounted their hor- /
ses and were making for the hills
and brush that surround the town,
and it is said that some of them
have not been seen in London T
since d o d3@ @3H - i.H" 'Ro' I
In a. discussion between Judge Il
VIM, r Randall, who lives at Lon I
don, and Judge Perl, his opponent
for the Judgeship, the former said 7
that he spoke from personal knowl-
edge when he declared that
every man who skedaddled /
on seeing the negro women,
was a Democrat, very eonscien-
tioglslY tiSo,gl opposed to %negro equal-
Judge Perl could not and did not b
deny the charge, and when the eiec- 4
lion came omit was found that Ran
fall's mljoritY was increased over
one hundred, while the Democratic (
Tote fell Of about an equal number.
