A late Congressional investigating
Committee, has brought to light the
fact, that nearly all the Southern
outnges" which appear in loyal north
crn newspapers from time TO time are
manufactured in Washington, in the
Office of "my two papers, both daily,
and paid for at enormous rates
Forney has actually collected thou
sands Of dollars off the negroes and
white scallawags in Georgia for writ
ing up Southern outrages' for the
purpose of intimidating loyal Senators
and Congressman. He is evidently
ain the last ditch" Who dare defend
such iniamy?
While dwelling upon these "out-
RACES" We call the attention of the
reader to the following from late
number of the PiLtsburg Commercial.
The Editor says;
"a northern man sojourning in
Charleston, South Carolina, represents
the white population as deeply and
generally lisconted with the political
condition of the State. Though quiet
and neither practicing or countenan'
cling violence Of anykind, they do not
"accept the situation" with as much
cordiality as some other cities OF thu
South. According to this correspond
cnt, the chief ground Of the prevail
ing dissatisfaction is the corruption
which is believed to exist in the ad
ministration of affairs. lcreprescnt
one gentleman saying as he read hi
newspaper, Iook at this Here is ;
man appointed Trial Justice in my
county yesterday by Gov. Scott, VIII,
was, only a few weeks ago, pardcnet
ont Of jail by this same Governor
lie was put in Jail for robbery, on tn,
verdict of jury more than half nc
grocs, on the clcarest evidence. III
has been guilty of every petty crime
he is habitually drunk his habits an,
associates arc of the very lowest OF
der; bis vote has been bought agair
and again for fifty cents, and his dc
cision as a Judge can be had any da.
Tor it will bring. What sort of justie
arc we likely to have in my county 2
We should say the fountain of iustic
in that coutny is not likely to sen
forth very pure waters. Cases lik
this, or nearly as bad, are alleged b,
the discontcnted class to be very CON
mon. Aud no orc, who suppose, VIII
reflects upon the past opportunitic
and training Of the freedmen, an
who takes into account the charactc
of many of the adventurers who hav
gone into South Carolina to improy
, their circumstances, will think sue
, allegations very unlikely to be tru,
Is, then, the discomfort Of the hig
minded men OF the State very unreal
onablog On the contrary, IL woul
b be strange if they regarded their cor
dition as anything but as n sort {
, purgatory. The most interesting poi
lior of this correspondents letter
the statement that leading white cit
! zcns arc preparing TO form a me-
party in favor Of political and mori
. reform"
This q true statement OF thinl
down South, and every decent whit
man should know il. The CONNIE
i cidl is "loil to the core" and therefor
c good authority upon a subject
3 which its party has an interest Yo
in the face Of such facts, Fornoy sti
persists in retailing his black ma
falschoods, TO the disgrace of himsC
and the party that sustains him. u
der such circumstances the forbea
ance Of the Southern people is truI
v amazing.
