The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1868-03-05

WE hear good story on the Gosport
delegates to the radical state convention
held at indianapolis last week. The del
egation, headed by prominent gentleman
from Orange county, took the train on the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Rail-
road at Gosport, expecting to switch off at
Greencastle Junction to Indianapolis. A
short distance above Gosport the the train
jumped the track, the train going into the
ditch, and progress was no longer to be
thought Of until the train was righted up.
The delegates, who started well prepared
got out perched themselves on the fence,
and amused each other by relating stories
Of the war and the history of John Browns
raid, not forgetting to tell of his latter
end. At the close of each story the bot
tie would be passed around, and by the
time the train had been placed on the
track quite number of them were in
high toned condition. When the train
reached the junction the indianapolis
train was ready to leave, but some wag-
gish democratic chap sung out "Twenty-
FIVE minutes for support" The delegates
lost no time in rushing into the supper
room, but bad hardly got seated before
the train left for Indianapolis.
The delegates were awfully disappoint-
81 at being left behind, and swore ven-
geance against the scamp who had deceiv-
ed them, but as he had left on the train
they could do nothing but swear. After
long consultation they concluded to &c
on to Lafayette and from thence to the
capital in the morning, but it seems that
six Of them never got away from Lafay
cite until after the convention had adj
journed and the delegates had gone home

Curtis and Butler.

threading Curtis's magnificent speech for
the defense one cannot help contrasting 1t
with Buffers opening for the prosecution.
The two men, and their speeches, are types
of the two sides of the case. Butler is i'm
pudent, fierce, exultant over an easy (anti-
cipated) victory. Curtis is polite, calm,
confident in the impregnable strength of
his position, and in the justice of the Sen
ate. Butler argues, where he has founda-
beyond that he squibbles and asserts. Cur
tbs keeps to the bounds of strict dialectics
his reasoning is like chain, in which there
are no weak links, leading from certain
premises to certain conclusions. Butler
talks like feed lawyer, at his favorite pur-
suit of making the worse appear the bet
Ter cause. Curtis talks like judge who
has examined the whole question judicially,
and believes upon his soul in what he says.
Butler treats the Senate as if it were a
Cooper Institute audience, whom he was
trying to bully, cajole, and fatter to his
way Of thinking. He appeals to the pre-
iudices, the partisan feelings, the seeming
interests of his hearers never to their
wisdom, their equity, their magnanimity.
Curtis addresses the Senate in their high
and true character of court. He trusts to
their intelligence, their justice, their gen
crosby, even. He cannot bring himself to
think that body of men, representing as
they are supposed to do, so much of all
that is wisest and best in the land, can fail
to follow his lofty line of argument, and to
be influenced by considerations directed
solely to their minds and consciences. He
speaks to them as if they were his peers
intellectually-which is compliment to
the Senate. Butler harangues them as if
they were no better than himself-which
is an insult to the Senate. Curtis reasons
at the Senate from his level and Butler
makes stump speech at them from his
level and there is just the difference be-
tween the two men and their speeches.
As the Senators decide upon the ques-
ton of impeachment, SO will they take
their place in history upon the low plain
with Butler or upon the high table land
with Curtis. New York Jour. Commerce..

OBITUARY.

Was killed by accident on the 22d day of Febru-
airy last, Mr.. EDWARD d. WALKER, Of New
Hanover county, aged seVenty-eight years:
By the death of such a good man and useful
citizen the county and society suffers. He was
member Of tho Baptist Church for over forty
years, and gained for himself strong neut the
love, respect and friendship CT all who knew him.
His greatest character sizes were charity and be-
nevoIence. Before the war none went to him for
an act of friendship or charity and came away
empty handed. While he was impetuous in his
disposition he always yielded to honest convic-
tion-he was ardent and firm in any cause that he
espoused, and very often completely carried
forget his age and infrmity and talk as young
man twenty-five, notwithstanding he had nearly
reached tour score years.
The character of a man must be very fair who
has lived seventy-eight years without having one
dark spot to tarnish its illustrious nAme-which
was the one he possessed.

From the New York Herald
The War of Races in the South.

Many months ago we warned the Radl-
calls that they were sowing fearful harvest
in the South. We told them that the
measures they were adopting would inevi-
| tably result in q conflict between the two
races. Needless of the solemn lessons
which history teaches, and utterly regard
less of the laws of nature, our Radical
rulers forced their policy upon the South,
and already are we beginning to see what
the consequences will be. From all ap
pearances, a war of races in that unhappy
section Of the Union is rapidly approach
ing. The first seeds of distrust were sown
by the Freedmen's Bureau, which, al
! though under the patronage Of the Gene
raj Government, was most shamefully used
| by the Radical party to poison the minds
Of the Ignorant blacks against their former
masters. At later day, the bureau not
being as secret a concern as was desirable,
Loyal League clubs were formed from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. These or
CARNATIONS were composed almost entirely
of negroes they became so powerful IN
numbers and political importance that
eventually their members assumed to be
the rulers and masters of the whites. SO
| long as they were permitted to display
their arrogance and assert their usurped
power, so long was the danger averted.-
DuG Lie logical ASSIIG VI UNO .JCdAo VI w
spotism lies now before us in the fact OF a
counter action on the part of the whites. -
From one end of the South to the other a
new secret society, known as the " ku
Klux Khan, has been organized IN oppo-
sition to universal negro suffrage and ne
gro rule. The aims and purposes of the
association are not concealed from the
world. The Southern whites have declared
that thew will no longer tolerate policy
which sinks them into servitude, and makes
seni-barbarous race their masters Thus
we now have two intensely hostile elements
organized and organizing, and facing each
other-the Ku Klux Khan, or secret society
of white men, on the one hand, and the
Loyal League Association, or secret socie-
| ty of negroes, on the other, each strug-
Cling for supremacy, and each of a race
alien in civilization and ideas to the other
How long will it be before such antag-
onistic elements pass the bounds of politi-
cal warfare and engage in a contest OF
bloodshed and desolation
! we are no alarmist, but ne cannot ignore

MIR. Johnson's Chances.

A very intelligent Radical, who is on
terms of great intimacy with many Radical
Senators, remarked ''Curtis is delivering
great speech, but it might as well be ad-
dressed to the Pawnee Indians-the case is
Judged now" And such seems to be the
opinion entertained in well-informed cir
cles here of both parties, despite all the
attempts made to create different impress
sion. Under that terrible influence of
party pressure. the backbones of those
Senators which needed ''stiffenlng" are
being gradually braced up, and no fears
are entertained that they will be able to toe
the mark when the day Of pronouncing the
verdict rolls Sound.-Q., tn Sun.

Military Justice in the South.

In Georgia the whites, under orgapi2a-
ton of the Kuklur Kan, have committed
such outrages as to call forth special orders
for their suppression from the headquar-
tiers of the army and of the Department.
In Alabama the blacks seem to be taking
much the same course, although as yet
without any apparent organization. The
single murder of Mr.. Ashburn in Georgia
has called out the prompt and stern appli
cation of military force. In the vicinity Of
Selma, Ala, FIVE white men, once of the
rebel army, have been murdered and nc
arrests made. Has impartial justice any
thing to do with the pacifcation of dis
turbed land, or is impartial suffrage sup
posed to be all.su&cient

Lieutenant-G General Sherman, who &C.
cupied seat by Senator Doolittle, never
once took his eyes off Mr.. Curtis. When
the language of Senator Sherman, in the
tenure-of-ofice bill, that the bill had no
reference to the Cabinet officers of Mr.
johnson, was quoted, General Sherman
looked hard at his brother, and the latter
cast down his eyes. The venerable Thomas
Ewing, whose nomination to succeed Mr..
Stanton is yet Enacted on in the Senate,
sat on the other side of Senator Doolittle,
and seemed particularly interested in the
allusion to the debate of last winter Sim,

The clerk, still reluctant to perform so
disagreeable duty, requested a copy of
General Canby's letter and little time to
consult his legal friends. Capt. Hildebrandt
politely compiled, and furnished him O copy
of the correspondence
At the request of the clerk six gentlemen
of the legal profession in Greensboro met
and considered the case. It is unnecessary
to state what was said about the constitu-
tionality or unconstitutionality of the laws
of the United States Civil Rights Billy re-
ferred to by Gen. Candy. They were unan-
imous in the opinion that the Federal law
is paramount until it shall be repealed or
pronounced unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the United States-conse-
quently, that the clerk had no option but to
be goUermed in his official conduct by this para
mount ldaD, and the interpretation gicen by the
Military Commander.
Such is a plain, dispassionate statement
of this matter. Three or four instances
have since occurred of marriages between
negroes and whites in this county. Of the
character of such whites we have nothing
to say. The consequences to flow from this
Radical change in our social laws we leave
to the imagination of our readers The
subject is loathsome-we will let it rest for
the present.
