The Southern outrage..

Although the Presideat in response to
the resolution of Congress, has sent 10 all
the evidence he has relating to outrages 10
the South, he offered no opinion nor did
he make any recommendation, as to the
remedy to be applied, - contentiog him
self With simply turning over the papers
in his possession, that Congress might
finally dispose Of the matter. There
was discussion in the Senate, 90 the me-
ii to refer to select committee for in-
vestigation, of which the New York Tri-
bune says:
The Senate yesterday devoted nearly the
whole session to discussion of Southern out
RACES, and some remarkable statements, not
wholly new, yet startling in their disclosures,
were made by Southern Senators. The pro-
priety of making this investigation seems un-
questioned, but there is great danger that it may
lead to some new measure of reconstruction, of
which we have had quite enough to demoraize
the most sober and staid society in the country.
We cannot but believe that the source of half
the trouble in the South is that mistak en- leeis.
lation which has-given privileges to one class
and denied them to others, and thus arrayed one
party in violent hostility against another. We
trust investigation of the outrages will con-
vince Congress of the folly of continuing the
Political distinctions provocative of bitter
and relentless animosity.
We fear the party will "put its foot in
it' if it opens this question again. The
nation cannot afford to keep up constant
war 'in one-half of the country and with
one-half the people, merely to oblige our
"Mark NEEDLES" in the South, who are
continually doing and saying things calcu-
lated to annoythe people, and daily Offering
the most resi- pectable portion Of their bodies,
to be kicked. that an action for assault
may be brought, and damages recovered for
the ''outrage." Let us have general am
nesty. That and little more manhood
among the Republicans of the South, will
bring us peace. We must stop this thing
of running to Washington with every
"black eye" and "bloody nose"

A Good kea. The colored meu. of this
city are sgitating tie question of having here
large popular convention of the people of
their color interested in the culture and manu-
facture of tobacco. 1t seems emipently proper
that these people, directly Interested in this
matter as they are, and from which thousands
of them depend for daily bread, should protest
againet the excessive and unjust taxation on
this staple. What they intend to do is to me-
morialize Congress and to put in motion
movement, which they hope to extend over all
of the tobacco growing States, having no refer
ence to politics, but simply demanding lower
tax on tobacco.

HORRORS OF WAR.-The whining Dem
ocratic papers Of the South are making
comparisons between the bombardment of
Paris by the Germans, and the shelling of
Petersburg, Charleston and Fredericksburg
by the Americans. There was not wo-
man or a child killed during the whole
American war. AS for men, it would
have been much better if more of them
had put themselves in the way of killing
and being killed, and fewer had sought
safety 10 bomb-proofs. The American
war was the most humane the world has
ever witnessed. SO far as the actual COM
batants were concerned. There were
fewer horrors and barbarities than in any
other of which history or tradition gives
us an account.

EccGUdtions were being made to-day on
Virginia street, next to the site of the old
Tobacco Exchange, for a new warehouse.
When all the vacant space in that neighbor-
hood, including the Columbian hotel propertv.
is built up, that part of the city will wear an
entirely different aspect. Most of the heavy
business of the city is doue on Cary and the
cross streets leading therefrom. As usual in
such cases, Cary street is far too narrow to
comfortably accommodate the business done
on it, and frequently it is as much blocked up
by carts, drays, wagons and other vehicles as
Broadway, New York.

The IRoN. GLAD OATH.-The committee on
reconstruction yesterday considered the pro-
priety of repeating SO much of the test or iron
clad oath as precludes such persons as entered
the rebel army when minors and have since
attained majority, from subscribing to its pro-
visions. The subject was referred to Messrs
Porter, Upson and Morgan, who were directed
to make report at the next meeting of the
committee WashingtoH Chronicle.
What is the use of tinkering at it in
this manner? p? Do the thing grandly, aud
sweep away all tests and disabilities at
once. 1t cannot possibly do any harm,
and we know it will do good. 1t is a
measure, as We have urged before, which
should be perfected by this very "pro-
nounced Congress" If it is left to the next,
which is not SO thoroughly Republican,
the party will not receive the full credit of
the magnanimous measure. Repeal the
test-oath, aud then remove all the disabili-
ties under the fourteenth amendment.
That is the way to perfect reconciliation.
