The serious riot in Mobile, of
which We published a telegram re-
port yesterday, is bat one of many
eitnilar occurrences in the S.,nth.
Ii Is the natural fruit of radical re.
construction. The efforts made by
Congress to reconstruct the South

the political power Of that section
Tor the radical party have failed,
but have left a terrible legacy Of
disorder and bloodshed. Setting
aside the native and intelligent
white people and crushing them to
the ground, willie placing their
late slaves, q semi.barbarons and
ignorant race, in power, could
have no other result. 1t was tho
most monstrous political expert.

the sans culotte regime of the first
French revolution never exceeded
in folly or recklessness the radical

majority of our own superior race
political helots on their native soil.
What could come Of such mon-
strons and desperate policy but
conflicts between the racesf
But such scenes as this one at
Mobile might have been avoided
had there been no outside inter
ference in the local affairs of the
Southern States and had the white
people of that section-the former
masters of the negroes-been per-
mitted to exercise a healthy in
huence over the ignorant blacks.
Even with the ballot in the hands
of the negroes these riots might
have been avoided for the white
Southerners could not have failed
to see that it must be for their
own Interest as we'll as for that of
the blacks to give their former
slaves good advice and to harmon
ize with them. But this was not
allowed. A radical Congress and
the radicals of the North were de-
termined to destroy the influence
OF the Southern whites in their own
States, and hence radical carpet
baggers poured into the South and
by misrepresentation and bad adj
vice arrayed the negroes against
their old masters and best friends.
These emissaries of disorder are
the cause of the riots and other
troubles that aff1ict the South.
They have inaugurated an ire
pressible conflict between the races,
and so long as the intelligent
whites are deprived of political
power and these wretched carpet
bag offscourings of the North are
permitted to deceive and influence
the passions of the negroes ther.
will be trouble and bloodshed.
But what do these wretches care if
they can accomplish their political
objects2 In the conflict the ne.
groes must go under, and if, unfor-
tunatcly, it should be continued
long, they will be swept ont of ex.
istence. That must be the inevita-
bic result. That is what the So
ca ] lie d Northern philanthropists
and radical Jewellers are bringing
npon their deluded proteges. The
negroes are the victims of unprin>
cipled carpetbag politicians, and
the sooner they discover the fact
the better for themselves and Ito
country.-N. Y. Herald.
