The Southern States.

We copy from the Cincinnati Enquirer
as follows:
SO long as the Southern States are
ruled by negroes, and by the whites who
use the negroes to rob the property
holders and direct tax payers, SO long
will there be unrest, agitation and out
breaks in that section. 1t can not in the
nature of things be otherwise. Ignorance
and rascality combined as a governing
power are not promoters OF peace, con-
tentment and prosperity. Nor is the
evil confined to one section; all parts of
the Union feel its malefc influence The
Golden Age New York; takes correct
view, and says that one cause Of the con-
tinued depression of trade of all kinds Is
that one third Of the country is half par
alyzed by political disorders and social
feuds and industrial stagnation. And
that the result of this disorganized con
dition of things is exceedingly depress
ing on business of all kinds. 1t dimin
ishes production, prevents enterprise,
checks industrial development, making
every thing uncertain and every body
poor In this WY it reduces the pur.
chasing power of the entire South. The
Southern people have little money to buy
with and no credit, and the effect Of this
paralysis on Northern trade and industry
is peculiarly depressing. We are told
that the sales in the New York market TO
the Southern trade are practically insig.
niticant in comparison with what they
should be and what might reasonably be
expected And the same may be said OF
Cincinnati, and indeed Of the mercantile,
manufacturing and farming interests OF
the whole West All are injuriously af
fected by the political disorders and so.
cial feuds and industrial stagnation at the
South; and all are interested in their
speedy abatement. So long as the pres.
ent unsettled condition of the Southern
States exist, so long will all Western in
terests especially be unfavorably affected.
Our business relations with the South are
too closely connected for one not to feel
any paralysis that affects the other. II
reconstruction is failure, as 1t Is gen.
orally admitted to be, let some thing
more reasonable and practicable be
adopted. But let US have peace, not the
peace of a despotism, but that which
springs from good government founded
on intelligent freedom.

the Registrar of Election in Franklin

with attempting to influencing him to
strike from the poll books OF that coun-

did so. Mr.. Wiltshire refutes the charge
out Of Williams own mouth, by reading
from this same fellows testimony in the

Whiskey and Death.

On last Thursday night, at negro
dance on the Vnsant farm near Suttle-
miers ferry, a negro named Dallas Mil
Ter was killed by a stab through the heart.
II appears that Dallas, who was very
drunk, came in the room and began dis
turbing the dance, and was twice taken
out of the house, but still returned After
much general squabbling, a negro named
Wool Miller grappled Dallas and stabbed
him with bucther knife, which he had
picked up in the house. Dallas was
stabbed four or five times, the last stroke
uenstrating his heart. The murderer
aed and at last accounts had not been ar
rested. Sheriff Grady with posse was
on the hunt for him.

Sir: Having learned that w. j. HYNEs

w. +. Grove, late County Clerk of this
county by the appointment Of Gov. O.
A. Hadley, while the county was under
the control Of the militia commanded by
the Clayton militia General d. p. Upham,
charging you with trying to induce him
to change the election returns from this
county to your advantage, We will state
that from what we know of Mr.. Grove
and the character he bore In this county
while he resided and held the Office Of
County clerk here, we would not believe
his statements and do not believe the
charges he makes against you. We know
that Mr. Groves was one Of the chief
manipulators ofthe election In this coun-
ty in 1872 aid was instrumental in hav.
ing the thirteen voting precincts consoli
dated into two, thereby placing the elec-
