SOUTHERN MURDERS WHO COMMIT THEM?
3-Whenever any radical firebrand, loyal Lacquer
: or negro is killed or hurt in the South, the
Radical press and orators of the North, make q
terrible noise about it. They ring the changes
and howl day after day about rebel outrages,
rebel hatred and rebel murderers, but we never
hear anything from them concerning the muir
dered Southern whites, and black outrages -
The radical papers are full of sensation accounts
and denunciations of the murder of Ashburn,
in Georgia, but they say nothing about the
white .one:armed ex-Contederate soldier who
was shot dead on his horse recently near
Selma, Alabama, or of the other four white
men who, have been murdered in the same VI
cinity since the war and no one arrested Tor
these murders No, we hear nothing from
these radicals of the numerous other murders
D Of the conquered Southern, whites and out
RACES on them in other localities of the South,
because there is every reason to believe this IS
the work of the black loyal leaguers. At a
public procession and meeting, OF negroes at
Macon, Georgia, on March 80, the loyal
blacks carried banner on which the figure OF
Z anegro, cut in pasteboard, hung dangling from
agallows, and to which was attached, on
piece Of white paper, the following inscription:
Every man that don vote radical ticket
this is the way we want to do .him-hang him
blythe neck" These radical loyal league ne
groes boldly proclaimed, too, that the negro
who failed to register should receive thirty. nine
ashes; if he failed to vote at the election, two
htlundred lashes, and if he voted the democratic
ticket he should be hanged. Need we be sur
2pnsed then, that white Southerners are mur.
> 3dlered in every part of the South and that the
mrrderers are not arrested ?-N. r Herald. :

1t is but four days till the
election takes place. Are you
ready! We believe the Union
men of Vlnton are fully aroused
to the importance Of this cam
paign and will do their full du,
ty. If they do, every man on
the ticket will be elected.
There are many things of i'm
portance to be done in each
tow nShip on this day. First be
at hand when the polls are
opened in the morning. This
is the time so often selected to
smuggle in illegal votes. Do
not be content Ito simply cast
your vote that day, but remain
at the polls and work until the
sun goes down. Challenge
fearlessly those whom you
have reason to suppose are not
voters. Use every honorable
means TO carry the election;
and let the work be done per-
sistently, but quietly, SO that
our opponents may have moth
ing to complain of in our man
ner towards them. |

minded men admit that it was
the largest meeting ever held
in Vinton county, far eclipsing,
just as.w promised, the famous
Brough meeting Of 1868. The
Knox township and ViRton
Furnace delegation was the
first one in, and made a very
fine display. Then came "Old
Swan" The distinguishing
feature here was the great num-
bers Of persons and the display
of different mechanic arts
"The Mudsills of old Swan. >
The Swan delegation was fol-
lowed by Zaleski and Madison
township. Their OK team and
wagon, Unconditional surren
der" was a big thing. Follow
ing them came Hope Furnace
and Brown township, with the
largest and handsomest flag in
the procession, in magnificent
display. Then came Jackson,
Eagle, Harrison, and Richland
townships, each with banners,
notices and flags. ,,.
AS the procession moved
through the town, on Logan,
St., up Main to the extreme
end, and back Mill to Locust
and back on Main, the head of
the procession struck the place
where they started on Main St.,
and doubled on ITSELF while
the rear was still out in the
country, and Clinton township,
with Vinton township, the
South part Of Richland, and
Wilkesville, and Eagle and
Cincinnati Furnaces, extended
away towards Macarthur Sta
ton, on another road, over a
mile and a half. BY way of a
reception committee, Elk town
ship, proceeded by the band,
had a handsome wagon, with
young Misses representing the
States, q calyacade Of horse
men and women, and Young
America with a wagon OF their
own make which did credit to
the youth OF Macarthur.
The borsemen and women
during a part of the time rode |
eight abreast, and two columns
of wagon were moving on the
streets at the same time, form |
ing one solid moving mass
throughout the town. yssrea |
We would like to speak of
each delegation in detail; OF
the magificent appearance of
the ladies on horseback, of thet
Swan toSnship tannery, black
smith shop, butcher, etcn of
the tastelullY decorated wag-
ons from Wilkesville, Zaleski,
and Hope and Vinton Furnace;
of the magnificent wagon from
Hamden, full Of Llushing beau
ty, and womanly grace; of the
''Creeter Companies" from
Jackson, Eagle, and Rich
land;-but it would simply be
impossible TO describe every
thing in the limits to which we
must confns this ~alticls In
one short sentenceshe meet
ing far exceeded the expecta-
lions of the most sang1ine, and
was such a meeting as. our peo
pie never expected to see in
his county. -t-1ri ..a.
We, were sorry that two of
our speakers--Attorney Gener-
al West and Gen, Jones, failed
to keep heirfappointments, the
more $50, because we assured
ours people SO emphatically
hat they would not fail to be
present, and there was q great
lesire to hear them. The ap-
pointment was mader by the
State Central Committee, and
we thought there was no posi-
bility of sfailure. They spoke
In Lancaster on Saturday and
had ample time to gethere, With
only moderate exertion. We
have no excuse to offer, save
that they missed the train.
