A GOOD
How to Put a Quietus to the South
ern ~i'0utrage" SANDERS.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. p ,
The attempt to revolutionize Tennessee
in the interest of radicalism seemsto beso
UNANIMOUSLY unjustifable as to disgust the
better part Of even the sealiwag loyalists,
who have hitherto responded to all demands
made upon them, and the gentleman ofthe
Stokes faction, who are beseeching Con-
gress to reorganize HI in that State, find
themselves cOmpelledAfor lack Of White
trash willing to back the Infamous job by
perjury-to go down among the dirtier
sort of negroes for the "evidehce" they
need to make out charge of preyalept law
Tessness. Two of these ebony patriots re-
Gently certified to certain "outrages,' of a
very shocking character, and their story
was sOlemnly spread before Congress as an
argument in faver Of the Stokes Broynlow
programme. The experiment has proved
a rather unfortunate one. Less skillful
in the art Of fabrication than the white,
scoundrels to whom this sort of work has
hitherto been intrusted, the colored lie
builders drew upon themselves the attenI
tion of the grand jury of Nashville, and
that body very properly concluded, in the
discharge of its sworn duty, to investigate
the alleged crimes.-Accordingly, the
poor tools of the revolutionists were sum
moned to attest their story on oath, aud to
give such facts and details as might be
made the foundation for bills of indict-
ment. Thereupon the whole fabric fell to
pieces. The negroes confessed that they
had no knowledge of such outrages, and
had never been interfered with themselves.
There is nothing in this result to excite
surprise, and we refer to it mainly for the
purpose of impressing it upon our South
ern friends a valuable hint suggested by
the case. In every place not absolutely
subjugated by the negroes, where these fab
