THE SOUTHERN CARNIVAL OF
MURDER.

There are unfailIng tests whereby
any one who honestly seeks may
know who are responsible for the
wholesale butcheries continually tax
| ing place at the South. Here are
some of them:
/. In Brooklyn, a few years ago,
some scores of unoffending blacks
were set upon, beaten, mangled, and
some of them nearly killed, while
they all narrowly escaped burning to
death, at the hands of the present
supports Of Seymour and Blair
They were not claiming the Right of
Suffrage, nor anythiug else but the
privilege o. peaceably earning their
living in tobacco factory.
ii In July, 1863, the Colored
Orphan Asylum in this City was
burned to the gronnd bysa vast mob
Of Democratic sympathizers with the
slavehOlding, negro-despising oligar-
ehy which miscalls itself ''the Sonlh;"
while every Blrck who could be
found, whether at home or in the
streets, was hunted like wild beast,
and, if caught, mangled or murdered.
One, at least, was roasted as he hung
after he had been caught and choked
To death. Not one of them was even
suspected of any other ofense than
his color.
III. In the Winter of 1923,
seeing a stout young man in a cOun
try store near this City, who was
rigged opt with gun, powder horn,
ShOt-po4ch, &c, for hunting excur
sion, the writer casually said 10 him,
"Iff liked to 'sshoOt, l would 60
down to virginia" .Q,' herespand-
ed, ''if l were going to Virginia to
shoot, | wouldn't shoot white men; i
should shoot, niggers." For what
reason he would shoot them, he did
not indicate; nor was it necessary
that he shOu ld.
IY. When Andrew Johnson was
pressed to favor Impartial Suffrage,
before his apostasy had become I'LL
he Responded, "If the
blacks are enfranchised, there will
be war of races" or "they will he
killed" He never dreamed that Mey
would seek 10 kill any one because
Of taeir eairapahisement; he means
that the Whites would kfll them il |
they were allowed To vote,
v. In no single instance of recent
collision between armed or partially
armed parties at the South have the
blacks failed to be by far the heavier
sufferers. lf they planne4 and IN
stigated these Wholesale bntcheries,
hey would evidently mahage to be
sometimes the stronger, better armed
)arty.
VI: The spirit and iangaage Of the
Rebel or Democratic press through
post Of the soHth continually implies
hat the blacks deserve kllling for L
or pFesuming to vote for Grant and
]Olfax. The speeches Of Howell
Jobb, Toombs. b. II. Hill, Wade

Prussian town fastened with their en-

it quite certain that We have carried

Kentucky Democracy.

one of the three States which went

State, save Maryland, which Seymour

gives the biggest Democratic majority
OF any state in the Union. 1t is the
only, State in the Union in which the
Democrats are holding their own. If
you ask Democrat, now-a-days,
whether he has heard the news from
Vermont, or Maine, or Colorado, nine
chances out of ten he will respond by
asking if you have heard from Ken
tueky. We therefore, turn to Ken

unadulterated Democracy of the lat
ter-day school. And we find it-in

strations of it was in a Democratic
procession in the city of Louisville

iicn here. It is Of great length. occupying more
the question: lathe president pro tsnpore OF tbs

United States: The article starts with . brief
historical retrospect Of the federal convention
action necessity 70 be taken 10 relation to the
president. the vice president. and the pro-
vision Tor president PRO tempore OF
the Senate were under consideration: The
Congress in relation to the designation Of per-
son to be acting president IN case Of the yacabcy
> contemplated BY the first section Of the second
article Of the Constitution. Daring the drst i've
closed doors. 80 that We have 20 account OF the
debate In that body bat the writer asserts that In
the Houae the disoussi0n Developed three objec-
tions to the preeident pro tempore Of the Senate
Thath the trainers OF the Consultation had in
tended any officer named in q I'd become acting
president they would have namsd the o0icer. q
That The designation Of the president pro tenn
pore would put II 10 the power Of the Senate to
elect precedent. 8. That the president pro tenn
pore of the senate n not an oficer'iin the sense
Of the Constitutions and for that reason Ineligible.
The last clause Of the third point Is the one de-
gibIe as the suecessor Of Andrew johnson. The
Inteligencer then argues that the person Intended
TO be designated was principal ofhsern OF one
Of the executive departments An acting presi-
dent the writer says, will alwaysb be the plant tool

slready said by implication that Mr.. Wade cannot

meant for the ofice 10 the contingency such as
would arise upon the conviction Of Mr.. johnson.
The article concludes with the declaration that
every avenue TO the presidency through either
house of Congress has been effectually closed BY

president pro tenn. of the Senate are equally
potent against the speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives.n sa T-ar rlisiaN lil5 ~ 13.p-s3ll
