the north, and it Is inevitable that there
should be an awfal time in the South.
The killing of n dozen negroes in any
part OF the South, even if they should
survive it, has always been a snrc way
of carrying a northern State for the
Republican party. Therefore, they
must be killed. The eloqucnce of Mr.
Blaine, or Mr.. Garfield. or Senator
Conkling, or General Butler, has great
effect With northern voters, as every
one who has heard OF these modern
Marc Antonys will concede; but it is
nothing when compared with the in
fuencc Off murdered negro. 1t does
not matter whether he is murdered or
only imagined to be, the effect upon
the voter is the m Mr.. Conkllng
dips his brush in hues of earthquake
and eclipse, snd paints y lurid picture
like that which actusl'y made every
body suppose it was raining at tie
convention at Utica, and Mr.. Butler
can whitewash the White House till it
is whittier than a white crow; but these
gentlemen are not half as useful in a
canvass as a kukluX outrage te!c-
graphrd from Alabama or Texas. This
being the case, il is no wonder thai
such massacres arc common in the
South whenever a Republican majority
is necessary in q northern State. The
Union must be preserved, we know
even if half a dozen colored voters are
destroyed. The kukIux (who, some
think, are paid by the secret fund OF
the Republican party,) appreciate
the Importance Of their position, and
regularly, year after year, go to work
to establish a reign of terror, The ne

peace, then some carpctbaggcr from
the north is sure to promote arrow.
Order and qrietness may be desired in
the south, but such a condition OF
things would be dangerous to numer-
Gus northern statesmen, who exist only
upon the memories of the war. These
gentlemen would be politically ruined
were the south rendered tranquil by a
policy Of restoration; for where, then,
would be their reason for being? Thus
il is that by the nobility Of the Negro
in getting himself killed, u the savage
determination of the kuklux to kill
him, or the skill of the carpctbaGger
in getting them to murder each other,
every year just before election the
north is thrilled with the horrors OF
outlnwrv in the south. The tale comes
about November, like the annual me-
tcoric shower, and when the heavens
begin to fall the politicians catch larks.
In the north it is only necessary that 6

that b%loodhouuds and bloedshed in the
south ought to be encouraged by the
Republican party as far more useful
than 4 great cotton crop or an honest

kuklux to keep on killing, and the ne.
grocs to keep being killed, at least till
November is over. The chairman of
