The Tennessee Butehery.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Edit

lFrom the Cincinnati erciai-Editorial.l
We print the statement of a Tennesseean
who attempts to gloss over the recent horr-
bic butchery in Gibson county 1t is very
thin. The assumption that correspond
ent IN Tennessee Is n OF in formed is q mistake
We hav. his private as well as public assur-
ance that he has investigated the matter and
is IN possession OF the facts The question
whether only four or sixteen negroes were
taken out Of tho Jail and shot by masked
murderers is immateral But if ten of those
negroes are alive. II IS . curious circumstance
that mono of them have been accounted for
In any community where there is a whole
some reprobation Of murder and the inter-
ference by armed nobs with the due process
OF law IT would be impossible to con ceal
these men, if alive successfully keep the
mob OF murderers themselves from the
clutches OF justice
The pretense that this was a radical trick.
a pat-up job to influence elections and per
petuate radical misrule, is a weak inveation.
1t will deceive no one Tho masked men
who broke into the Tren ton Jail, took aat the
un fortunate blacks and riddled them with
bullets. would consider it a mortal insult to
be accused Of tho faintest tinge Of Radical
ism or Republicanism-
Our TennesS3ean insists thai he negroes

evidence? II anybody confessed, where is
the con fessen, so attested that il will be
entitled to credence7 The improbabiiities
that these negroes IN community not only
overcome them. would conspire for any such
purpose, are so great that proof is required
Of unusual ciearness to produce conviction
But even had such conspiracy bocr dis
closed, the arrest of the principals en-
gagged in it had frustrated the design Locked
up in the Jail. and guarded by men who
would be pretty sure that they did not
escape, they had ceased to be dangerous. and
nobodys life was in peril. 1t would have
been OF infinite advantage 20 Conservatism
IN Tennessee and Democracy everywhere To
have drawn these conspirators TO trial and
brought out evidence going to show the exist
ence OF any such conspiracy As our cor
respondent SAYS existed there.
1t passes comprehension that men not
lciotic should destroy the possibility of prov
ing such state Of things by killing those
who had turned States evidence and putting
out Of the way the principals in the con-
spiracy against The peace OF society The
sympathy which would have been drawn out
for those so anhappiiy and periioasiy sur
rounded is turned by this haste to she'd
blood, INTO comniseration Tor tie victims of

ficts. and the consequences that are certain
- flow from them unless they are speedily
ended. the Republican Ia. this to say:
w lthout considering at present the blum
ders OF national policy that have produced
this deplorablc relation between the whites
and blacks, it Is too evident that the whites
are committing excuses which cannot be de-
Tended. We are told that the riotous behav-
Tor and threats of the negroes produce these
conflicts; but even if this be true in every in
stance, it does not warrant the butehery of
negroes in which they almost invariably end
nor will it avert the violent reaction of North
ern opinion and feeling which these maSsa-
cres viii inevitably produce. We can tell
the southern people that these conflicts If
not suppressed, viii ro-radcalize the North
give the Republican party new lease of
Northern State, insure the enactment of the
CIvi! Rights bill. and provoke from Con gress
hsrsher supplement- OF reconstruction than
has yet been witnessed. The people of
the South have exhibited much patience and
torbearance under the. sutlerlngs of the last
nine years; it would be an incalculable mis-
fortune If they should now lose all the moral
power which this patience has given them by
an unlustlhabie war upon the blacks"
This be it noted, is not from a carpet-ba z
newspaper, or a Radical or Republican news
paper Of any description. but from a long
established and able journal Democratic IN
period. and to-day utterly hostile to the party
In power 1t is perfectly safe 10 say that IL,
all journals protesting to be Democratic or
independent were equally candid and plain
spoken, there would soon be an end to this
war of races and these wholesale lynch-f
ings- But so long as these Journals pursue
the course they have chosen, there win be !
disturbances, and the political consequences
predicted by the Republican will be sure to
follow. The people of this country are
not going to put political power in the
hands of white mans party nor in the
hands of any party that apologies for sys-
tematic terrorism and murder, or makes
light of organized rutiianism in any part of
the country. There is nothing which so
much stands in the way of political and eco
nomic reform as this very ruffanism, and
he prevailing opinion, for which certainf
newspapers are chiefly respon sble, that
here is party in the North which is ready
% defend the white mans party" no
natter of what brutal atrocities it may be
guilty. The negro as an object of vindictive
nate, and everything resembling reaction
'ry tendency. must step, down and out of
'olHics before any party better than the Re
publican can ever step in.

A LUCKY RAILROAD CONDU CTuR. The
recent capture of Charles A. Billiard, the
burglar who robbed the Boyiston Bank of
Boston, in 1869, of nearly $500, 900. and
escaped to Europe from which trip he re-
turned a short time since, recalls to the
Hartford Times the circumstance where
by Conductor Mckinney, Of the Hartford
and New Haven railroad, become $1,000
richer On the night after the bank burg
larry, as Mckinney was going through the
cars collecting fares, man in paying his
fare, gave him bill to change The con-
ductor looked carlessly at the bill, and
thinking it was a 800 bill, said he would
bring back the change On more care
tai look at the bill, he found it was one of
$1,000. This was too large an amount for
him to change. He went back, and accos-
ting the man, said, care you the man that
gave me this bill to change ?" The man.
apparently frightened. said "No;" and
another man back of him said to the con-
ductor, ale gave you ticket" Conduc-
tor Mckinney reported the case to the COM
pany, and they deposited the bill for some
time with the Trust Company, allowing
Mckinney to draw the interest, and finally
giving him the bill 1t was supposed at
the time that the man was one of those
connected with the burglary, and that he
was so frightened that he preferred losing
the bill to being arrested. 1t is not yet
definitely ascertained, and probably never
will be, whether this supposition is right
or not. Billiard is notorious robber, who
was concerned in the great American eX-
press robbery on the Hudson river some
years ago, and was captured and confined
in White Planes Jail, from which he escap-
ed. His next undertaking was the Boyls-
ton Bank job, which proved successful

Last autumn we wondered at the numerous

A SLAVE OF THE "RlNG." A young
woman, who rides horseback in circus
has communicated her biography to re-
porter of the Baltimore American, who
publishes its mysteries She appears, by
his report, to be more refined than Miss
Josephine Sleary, and her associates, in
Hard Times" and she certainly earns a
larger salary in week than a lady who
married the celebrated Mr.. f. w. b.
Childers did in year. The reporter de-
scribes her as "a young and pretty girl,
with an innocent. artless manner. but with
quiet consciousness that she is able to
take care Of herself; dressed very ele
gantly in black velvet basque and silk
dress, made in the finest style, and with
very little jewelry about her" She is the
daughter of celebrated circus-rider who
was formerly the leading attraction at
Astleys; receives $3.50 a week; in nine
teen months, has only fallen from her
horse twice; had her arm broken in two
places. long ago, by fall; designs all
her own costumes, and thinks that French
female riders as class have the most
reckless abandon, but English women
most endurance.
