The Cincinnati Commercial has
a correspondent at Washington
who has been forecasting the next
United States Senate. He thinks
it probable that the trade unionists
and antisprohibitionists will get
control of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature and elect Col. Greene, Demos
GRAFT, TO the Senate in place of Will
son; that neither Anthony nor
Cragin will be reelected that Sid
ney Clarke is likely to come from
Kansas in place of Ross; that
Logan has the best chance to
succeed Yates; that Judge Moses,
of the State Supreme Court,
will succeed Robertson, of South
Carolina; and that Jesse ID. Bright
is the coming man from Kentucky.
Since the Commercials correspond
ent wrote, it is reported that a
friend of Senator Wilson writes
from Massachusetts to q friend in
Washington that private arrange
ment has been effected with Gen.
Butler, whereby the latter will not
be a candidate in the approaching
senatorial contest in that State.

HOW KU-KLUX OUTRAGES ABE
MANUFACTURER.

HOW kU-KBUX OUTRAGES ABE
MANUFACTURED.
An incident occurred in Shelby
county 4 few days ago, which is a
fair illustration Of the manner in
which Ku-Klux outrages are manu-
featured. 1t appears that James
Dickey and his son and two negro
men had raised q crop of cotton
near Bartlett, in Shelby county,
The white men had endeavored to
buy the interest of the negroes in
the crop, but they would not sell.
The Dickeys then employed an
agent from Arkansas, named Nick
Coleman, TO intimidate the darkies
and make them sell. The darkies
still refused. The other day they
found the following notice nailed
TO a tree near TO their cabin:
"Reubin they chicken waging went to
your house Thursday night, and YOU
had better go and stay there too if YOU
knowed what is best for you. Look out
for the Olucks. You had better get
away from here, quit as soon as you can.
a CLUCK.'
Here followed the rude drawing Of
coffin, spade, pick and bowie knife.
The negroes went TO Memphis
and reported how they had been
Ku-KIuxed. but npon sitting their
story it was discovered that the
two Dickoys and Colemep were
the operators in this case. A war
rant was issued for their arrest, and
thus this Ku-Klux affair has been
"nipped in the bud 1t is fortunate
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-09-12

that the negroes fell into proper
hands upon going TO Memphis, else
we should hear a great deal about
this Ku- Klux demonstration. Many
of the Ku-Klux outrages that we
hear of originate in this way.
1t appears that some person or
persons assuming to be ku-klux,
threatened a few days ago 70 burn
the town of Colliersville, in Shelby
county, in the event a lady of that
place should be appointed post
mistress, as it was understood she
would be. The citizens promptly
held q meeting and resolved to en-
force the laws and defend them
selves and protect all innocent per-
sons against violence. When the
author or authors of this demon.
stration shall be discovered, it vii
be found that personal interest al
in the case at Bartlett is the cause

NEGRO LABOR AFAUURF.

The montgomery Mail takes the
ground that SO long as the present
generation Of trained and docile me-
gro laborers remain in the cotton
fields, a few planters will make
more money than they made in the
past. But the question recurs-
what will be the condition of the
planter when death, and the high
prices paid in the Mississippi Valley
and upon railroads, remove the
present generation, as they are
now doing rapidly? The Mail cx-
presses the opinion that the planters
must look for new supply Of Ia
Dor from another source. The
importance TO the cotton fields of a
new supply of labor, is impressing
itself not only upon the South, but
is also forcing itself upon the North.
The conviction has been forcing
itself upon the planters ever since
the close Of the war, that the negro
is an unreliable laborer, and every
year fixes this conviction more firm
ly. 1t is this fact which has turned
attention to the Chinese as likely to
furnish the labor necessary to cult
vate and gather the cotton crop.
The New York Post was forced
some time since to make the follows
ing admission:
"Idleness and vice are more prevalent
than ever before. Large numbers Of them
throng into towns and villages, and live
wretchedly by theft, or by precariou- jobs
Many more settle in the woods, or on
small lots of land, and only work long
enough to obtain bare subsistence. Those
who go into the cotton fields for wages or
on shares rarely accomplish more than
half as much work as an average field
hand in the old time, and they commonly
waste much time in idleness and in super
fetal culture, or break their contracts and
abandon their employers" etc.
As proper sequel to statements
like these, comes the following
from the Richmond correspondent
of the Fredericksburg Ledger:
"The opinion ia entertained here by the
best informed that partial famine is i'm
pending over Eastern Virginia. The only
adequate remedy proposed is the re estab-
lishment of the freedmen'5 bureau here
for the next six months for the support Of
the negroes. 1t is thought that the whites,
thus relieved Of the blacks, may be able TO
manage for themselves somehow; but with
the hungry negroes to supply, starvation
will inevitably be the portion of large
numbers of both races"

LAwLEsSNEss-"A HORSE OF AN
OTHER COLOR

VI IN En- SOn1OA-
Copying what we said of the
lawless demonstration of the Rad
ical fiends of Mr.. Stokes in Blount
county, by which two negroes who
favored the election of Gov. Senter
were deferred from going to the
polls, the Knoxville Press and Her
aid says: "Were this instance the
only one of the kind that occurred,
the hypocrisy of the Professors
might be overlooked. But it is now
quite certain that Stokes himself
while canvassing the State, gave
general circulation among the
leagues that if beaten at the ballot
box, he would nevertheless succeed
finally, through federal interference,
in keeping Senter and the lawful
Legislature out of power; and to
this day we hear of his deluded
followers solacing themselves with
the expectation that Maynard and
Stokes will yet succeed in over
throwing Gov. Senter and the
Legislature elect. And as
to intimidation and violence, the
only instance that we heard of in
this section of the State, came from
the Stokesites, themselves. Mr..
Harrison, the member elect from
Roane, told us only yesterday, that
in the 18th district of that county
the judges appointed TO hold the
election were deferred by threats of
violence from attempting to do so,
and the Stokesites, themselves, pre-
tended to hold the election and res
turned the votes accordingly, the
Senter men taking no part in the
fraudulent election. In Cooke
county in one or two districts, SINH
lar proceedings took place, and the
elections were held by the judges
appointed by the removed Commits
sioner of Registration. A very
broad joke connected with this case
is that the defeated Stokesite, In4
man, is preparing to contest the
seat Of the member elect, on the
ground that the election, in these
two districts, was not held by
the judges appointed by the
new commissioner. But the coolest
piece of effrontery appears in Hams
ilton county. r. S. Kindrick, late
of the Chattanooga Republican,
then Stokes organ, got possession
of ten blank certificates Cat least il
is so openly charged by his success
sor in the editorial chair, and we
are assured it is true) and used
them on the day of the election in
the interest of the Stokes ticket
This same r. S. Kindrick is one OF
the signers of Maynard's protest,
in which the frauds of the late
election are SO graphically por
trayed. Kindrick must have
sat at Maynard's elbow while he
was writing"
