CONFLICT OF RACES IN THE,,SoUTH.
The news that comes to us almost
daily from the South about conflicts
between the whites and negroes
shows an unpromising state of things.
It Indicates, indeed, u conflict in the
future between the two races as ire
presslble as that which existed be-
tween the North and South on the sub
lect Of slavery. And what is the cause?
Radicalism. Northern carpet-bae
radicals, with o few radical Southern
scalawags, make the deluded negroes
their tools, and bring about these
conflicts. The mass of the Southern
whites everywhere desire peace and
to live In harmony with the negroes
under the new order of things.
They are aware that their own well
fare depends upon this, as we'll as
that of the colored folks, and strain
every nerve to maintain friendly re-
lations with the negroes; but the
radical fire-brands will not permit
that. If these conflicts continue
they will assuredly inaugurate gen
eral war of races, and in that case
the negroes must go to the wall.
Blood is thicker than water, and the
whites will rally together against the
blacks. In such war the sympathy
of the white people of the North, too,
must be with their own race. The
pretended radical friends of the me-
gro are really his worst enemy and
are preparing the way for the extin-
gulshment of his race in this coun-
try.-Ne,o Yorh: Herald.

had grossly wronged. This, we be-
heye, finished his career, 80 far as
spilling blood was concerned. Some
two months ago, he was brought to
the Louisville city hospital, where he
fingered - sIeav agony untii death
came to his relief. He was q terror
to the people of Shelby County and
other localities in Kentucky. Thus
has passed away one of the last of
the monstrous desperadoes to whom
the war gave birth.

An armed and organized body of
lawless negroes on Skidaway Island,

murder every white man who shall
dare pursue his avocation of fishing

were passing Skidaway, heavy fire
was opened upon them by n large
body of negroes, who declared their
purpose to rule those waters in de-

girls better than littlo boys. I went on
a sleigh-ride one night, with my sister
Nancy and Tom Sykes. We were going
up to New Hartford, and when we got
up BY Pegg's tavern, Tom asked me to
look in the bottom OF the sleigh for his
vbip. and while I was looking he fred

he fred off another when l wasn't look

of The style of political di

SPEAKING of :he stylo of political dis
cussion which is most popular with our
Democratic cotemporaries, tho Alta
says: "The mild form in which polit-
ical discussion is carried on among us
may be inferred from the opening sem
tsnce In one of our interior cotempo-
raries. It runs in this fashion Show
US q d-d fool and we will show you o
radical EDITOR" This style of argu-
ment may be regarded MS too forcibls,
but it must be admitted at the Same
time to be startlingly conclusive. There
are people in the world of delicate
nerves, probably, who prefer something
addressed to the reason, but they are
behind the time altogether. There is
nothing like taking possession Of the
whole field Of debate at once. Billings
gate is good school to graduate in,
but It is not as generally popular rs it
might be.

CASTE AND CoLoR.-Thc Iuolunne
Neps quotes an article under tho above
title, from the Chronicle, and comments
upon IL as follows: I" We believe that
as q general rulo among the various
tribes, castles, eolors and species of men
inhabitiug this terrestrial sphere, in all
cases of pure blood, more or less preju-
dice exists in their minds against other
castles, colors, and so on, howevor much
tho educational advantages they may
have enjoyed may weigh against such
prejudice, and We are not at all sur
prised to find an eSemplification OF the
fact in the case cited. The above able
advocate Of his species, however. we
think is little unfair in tho example
giyeu," ETC., etc. Yes, it is true, "as
general rule" the prejudice against
caste and color docs prevail "more or
less" among the various tribes Of men.
And prevails "more" just in proportion
as said tribes are ignorant and brutal,
while it prevails "less" just in proper
tion as they are civilized and refined.
It is strongest in the most brutal ma
lures; and it is invariably the lowest
and mcsuest white men who are most
bitter in thoir antipathy to the "inferior
races" Asto the other point, it is not
true that the men VIC cited as examples
"are known to be mixed with white
blood" Ira Aldridgc was an uumixed
unmitis gated negro, with kinky wool,
thick lips and shinbone of the peculiar
conformation so disgusting to McCon-
nell and his kind. Ward, Of Ohio, is
another of tho same sort, and both OF
them are in our judgment entitled to
rank as the moral and intellectual su-
periors Of such specimens Of the "noble
heaven-descended Caucasian race" Of
Brick Pomeroy and his brother editors
of the same stripe. Furthermore, we
should be much prouder to acknowledge
kinship with any intelligent and cultiva-
ted black man Of the type Of those we
have named than with tho degraded
white men who judge Of human beings
by the color of their skin, and who take
q fiendish delight in prosecuting negroes
and setting dogs on inoffensive China
men. If the Tuolumne Neps can make
anything out of that declaration, it is

So far away! So far away!
Thy stars are not the stars see;
With me its night, with thee It's day,
And day and night is one to me,
So far-so far away!
I faint beneath those wandering airs,
Whose wings around the earth 60 free;
I snatch at straws the whirlwind bears
Touch they the land that blooms for thee
So far-so far away!
The forms that near me breathe and move
Like visions rise, like visions fiee;
I cannot live to other love-,
My soul has crossed the deep to thee
So far-so far away!
Earth's dropping shadows close me round
Tho heavens have lost their lights for me
The voice Of joy brcathes not sound,
And hope swoons dead on yonder sea
So far-so far away!
