TIE TRUTH.-The Savannah Republican,
in well-timed article on the real views OF
Southern conservatives, whose opinions it
knows and represents, states its conviction
that the sentiments of ninety-nine out Of
every hundred Of that class may be found
under three heads, briefly as follows: 1.
African slavery is forever abolished; 2.
Equal civil rights to all citizens; 3. Univer-
sal suffrage recognized and acquiesced in ;
and the future to determine whether it shall
be perpetuated or repealed. The Repa5lican
does not misstate when it speaks Of these
propositions as meeting almost universal ac-
ceptance among intelligent Southern men,
those who bore the brunt of the rebellion,
and wha now have everything at stake in
the proper government Of their section of
the country. This wellconsidered state.
ment in direct opposition to the. assertion Of
partisan enemies of the South, that the

ed men at the ballot boxes, unless the latter
are protected by United States soldiers

considerable means. He gave 200 acres Of
land to .the establishment of a convent in
Bedford, and was supposed TO keep a large
sum Of money in the house, where he lived
alone and remote from and any other human
being. On Saturday night the 21st Of
April, three men entered his house and
aroused him from his bed, and demanded
that he should show them whereshis money
was, threatening that if he did not they
would murder him. Such threats induced
Mr.. Murrin to tell them where they would
find a little oyer $50 in gold and silver,
which was all he had in the house. This
they took, but werenot satisfied.
Believing that there was more money
about the house, notwithstanding his assu-
rance to the contrary, they kindled a fire in
the stove and held Mr.. Murrin over it, sub
jecting him to a slow torture Of the most pain
full kind. They persisted in this torture till
they found that they could get no more plum
der, when they left their: victim in
horrible pain on the bed and departed. In
the morning Mr.. Murrin managed to reach
the nearest neighbor's house, and told his
story. Search was at once instituted for the
desperadoes. The old gentleman was not
able to give any exact description Of his
torturers. and therefore the search is some
what futile. Suspicion has been placed on
one or two bad characters who were seen In
this vicinity day or two previous, but no
infJrmation could be obtained to justify any
arrest

Radical papers are virtuously indignant over
the murder, some time ago, Of Mr.. Robert
Melton and family. The story goes that six
disguised men went to his house and called
to him. He and his family went to the door,
when, without warning, the assassins fired
upon the group, killing Mr.. Melton, mortal:

as usual to the terrible Ku-Klux. =.
We cannot quietly listen to such tales OF
horror without enquirins who are the guilty
parties. They were evidently not Ku-KluS
for the white people cared nothing whatever
for Mr.. Melton-werc neutral sofar as he
was concerned. But the colorcd population

as Deputy Tax Collector, had discharged his
duties rcgarltcss of politics. On the night
preceding his death, lie went to the house ot
a negro delinquent, closed it, aud sold his e.
fects next day, becoming the purchaser HIM

have created the cnmity of the Ku Klux,

Drunkenness is a Sin.

When we acknowledge that intemperance
is disease, let us not forget the fact chat
! it is also SIM No man is forced to be a
drunkard; he drinks to excess with his eyes
open, with his hands free, with his con-
science upbraiding him until he browns it
in the bowl. He voluntarily surrenders his
reason, his taste, hisjudgment,, his prosperi-
ty, his health, his character, and his con-
science on the altar of appetite; and is not
that a sin? He knows that his habits of
indulgence will disqualify him for the per-
formance Of the duties Of child, husband,
parent, and citizen, and while they deaden
the faculties which should elevate him above
the dumb beast; they intensity and quicken
all the animal and brutal instincts Of de-
graded humanity; and is not that q sin?
He is we aware that the use Of in
toxic ating liquors may inspire him with
selfish motives, and that he may in fit Of
frenzy commit a crime which will do great
injury to innocent and unofending persons,
depriving them of their property, or in
fringing upon their rights, or injuring their
persons;' and is not that sin? In these
enlis rtened days, there surely cannot be
found drunkard even who is such Ounce
as not to know that the Bible declares thatit
is q sin, great sin, which excludes the un-'
fepentant from the kingdom Of heaven
