THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
y special from Washington, of the
31st, to the Courier Journal says:
"There has been very material
increase of crime in the District du-
ring the summer. a number of in
cendiary fires have occurred,
accompanied by robberies.-
These cases have now been traced
up, and the authors are found to be
among the negroes, who are the
special pets of the District tribu-
mails. One of the Africans who was
lately found guilty of attempts at
rape upon different white women,
was let off by Judge Smell, of the
Police Court, with only three
months Imprisonment, which has
very naturally led TO u series of like
outrages in the neighborhood."
The Courier-Journal throws up
the sponge, and in advance admits
the defeat of the Democratic party
in the Congressional elections. This
dependency is the result of the
Trenton troubles, but it seems to us
that its own correspondent at Wash
ington has furnished an overwhelm-
ing argument in behalf of the South
ern people, and against the party in
power. The District of Columbia
is unde- the control of the Govern
ment. Gen. Grant resides in Wash
ington. The army headquarters
are there. Congress meets there,
and yet there is no better state of
things in the district of Columbia
than exists in Louisiana or South
Carolina. The negroes are lapsing
into barbarism, the CHASTITY crime
of rape stands out in the van of all
the horrors perpetrated by them,
and yet the Courier-Journal SAYS
the sum-total of all such crimes
must and will be charged up against
the Southern people. This may be,
but it ought not to be so charged
up, and I'VE do not intend to help
do it. We think that some of our
Tennessee exchanges would do well
to copy the above extract. 1t
might mitigate their wrath against
the white people of West Tennes-
see, aud induce them to lay at least
a portion of the blame of the late
bloody outbreaks, at the door of
those who sit calmly in their palati-
al homes at the Capitol of the
country, while the outlying terri
tory of the District is lighted up by
the incendiary torches of the blacks
and white women are made to shud-
der in constant fear of rapine and
violence.

The Memphis Appeal Of Tuesday
last contained an able article in favor
of the exemption from execution, of
the wages of mechanics and laboring
men. Such a law would injure no one
and would benefit many. A liberal
supply OF provisions is properly ex-
empted for the benefit of the farmer
and his family, and a similar rule
would exempt at least proportionate
share of the wages of those who toll
in the shops or on the streets Of our
cities. The tendency of all such laws
is to put business on a cash basis, and
this is what the South sadly needs.

Special Aug, Both: The question Of
the fact that the Rradical politicians
of the South, alarmed at the result Of
the election recently held in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky,
and fearful of losing the other South
ern States by the Civil Rights issue.
are generally consPiring to obtain
Federal interference, pressure and
intimidation. To TINS end the negroes
are stimulated by them 10 insolence
and outbreak; and when conflicts
with the whites follow, as might be
expected, letters Of an excited and
sensational character are written by
those creatures and their agents to the
Department Of Justice. Numbers Of
these letters are now coming in from
all parts Of the South. The Attorney
General accepts these exparte state
ments as strictly true, aud declares
Z the whites to be the aggressors.
I Holding that the negroes are acting
on the defensive merely, and assum-
| ing these to be the facts In the case,
[ he proceeds next to assign a motive
/ for the alleged outrages and cOnspira-
I cies, namely, a disposition on the
/ part OF the whites to prevent the ne
! groes from voting the Republican
/ ticket. So far as Judge Williams IS
/ concerned, there Is no doubt that he
Z has made mp his mind against the
Southern whites III respect to these
/ disturbances. Ii Is asserted by well
| informed persons that ne viii advise
/ the President TO some form of eXecut-
I i've action based on the idea of con-
/ spiracy against the negroes.
Various modes Of interference are
| suggested as possible:
! !. An Executive proclamation.
, The location Of troops at differ
ent points in the South where cleo
tons are to be held.
Lastly-An active and comprehen-
sive system Of prosecutions under
the enforcement act In the Federal
courts, similar to Judge Bonds nota-
bic raid in North and South Carolina.
There Is reason to believe that q
strong political pressure viii be
brought to bear upon President Grant
to induce him to pursue the most ex-
IRENE course, and the Southern Re
pubiicans, politicians like Spencer
and Moses, viii clamor for military
repression and reign of terror as

every ore knows that there
are many cases, and these the very
worst of all, in which it is impossible.
1t is almost idle to hope for the con-
viction of the Trenton iail-breakers,
when the rulings of our courts, and
the operation of our statutes guard
them so completely. Gov. Brown, the
newspapers Of the State, the candi-
dates for the next Legislature, and
our Judicial, ministerial and peace Of
ficers, must make up their minds to
witness the terrible effects OF mob
law in exceptional cases, until our
criminal code is completely revised
To do this a new Constitution must
be framed, which Will go to the root
of the whole trouble by declaring
that any otherwise competent person,
who can swear that he will give the
prisoner a fair and impartial trial, IS
altogether competent. In the mean
time, however, for it takes years to
change a Constitution, there are GER
tain statutes that can be abolished,
and better ones substituted, which
will partially correct the evils com
planned Of. In addition, every good
citizen, white and black, can use his
influence in favor of the preservation
of order, and ought to do so. We
know that we will be charged with
'imprudence in writing this article,
that it will be looked upon as invit-
ing military interference. We cannot
help it. The criminal code, OF which
we complain, has been upheld by
Wings, Democrats and Radicals III
Tennessee. 1t is as old as the State.
1t is substantially the same as those
of Illinois and Indiana, but it is pow
erless, where il ought to be all power
full, ana therefore we seek to change
it. If the stern logic Of examples like
those referred to cannot effect the
change, nothing ever can.

names OF the candidates selected by
the conventions held in this city on
Tuesday last. In our report Of the
three conventions we cannot give

took an active part in the proceed
ings. The nominees are personally
known to very many Of our readers
their integrity and capacity are
recognized by all and we regard
their success as assured already.
They were nominated over Ineu of
ability, and this fact Of itself is a
guarantee of their own worth.
Our State and County ticket is now

any terms.

LoUIsIANA.-There has been anoth-
err outbreak in Louisiana, and a num-
Der of blacks have been killed. The
State Government there is thor
oughly Radical and is backed up by
the Federal authorities. What, then,
is the matter? If the policy of the
National Government is a failure
where it has full power, can it be more
successful anywhere else? The extir-
patton of the whites of the South, ''or
a change in the policy which makes
the negro an agrarian, an Incendiary
and all enemy of the white race, are
the alternatives presented.

friends and acquaintances, who deeply de-
plore the loss Of the noble man, the good oIt-
zen and generous friend. The integrity and
purity Of his life marked him as a christian
gentleman in the fullest sense Of the term.
True 10 the characteristics Of the State Of his
nativity, he dlSael led The hOspitalities OF his
home with truly generous hand He was
unyieIding in his convictions OF duty, and in
sisted upon the highest standard Of morality.
He had been under the shallow Of the hand
OF death for some time before his last sickness,
he quietly and peacefully contemplated his
approaching dissolution, without murmuriugs
or complaint. The darkness had been dis
paIled nom the valley Of death, and in the DO
som Of his family, surrounded by the warm ar
lection Of his wife and children, he sat like
christian patriarch, awaiting the peaceful sum
mons Of his master, 10 enter into the full frui-
ton Of the chris tian's reward. To the bereav-
